A Race to The Top

Ji Meng's eyes did not contain a trace of hesitation caused by lying, and even Dou Kou began to believe that what he said was true.

If it's not true, then Ji Meng's acting skills are so good that he can even compete for the Oscar winner.

In this tit-for-tat, it was Dou Kou who lost the battle first.

"Is that right…?"

The uncertainty in his voice contrasted sharply with Ji Meng's affirmation.

Ji Meng continued: "I don't know where you got the gossip, but since I know Lubi, he is the green name. You think I am kind to him because of my special status. It is too selfish. People."

After Ji Meng said those words, Ling Xiaolu's heart suddenly became warm, like a seed being irrigated. It looked up at the dark soil and thought, ah, I am about to germinate. When I penetrate this darkness, I can see the sun.

Dou Kou has 90% believed, but still has some doubts.

"Are you really a fan?" He simply threw a straight ball to Ling Xiaolu.

Ling Xiaolu condensed his mind from the sprouting fantasy and hurriedly sent assists to Ji Meng.

"Oh~ I said how you offer me a reward on the front foot, call me a kid on the back foot, and give me a big sword. It turns out that you have a different plan. Dou scum, I didn't mistake you."

He did not directly deny Dou Kou's words, this ambiguous ball hitting it back made Dou Kou even more convinced.

"Is it really that I made a mistake?" He frowned and said to himself.

Whispered to Pan Jia: "I feel sorry for the patriarch. I can neither get the fake nor the real."

Follower B: "...Shut up, be careful to **** you."

Ling Xiaolu took the opportunity to say to Nan Xun: "Look, this kind of person, no matter who the other party is, as long as it is a fan name, it is good to you only because you have more collars than others, which is not sincere at all, you must polish it. eye."

Nan Kaoru nodded seriously: "I will definitely."

What a good girl, Ling Xiaolu thought.

"Why don't you come to our family, our family has another place, which is reserved for you."

Ji Meng:?

"Although your brother Ji Meng doesn't want to bind a fan name..." He hesitated when he said that, for some reason he no longer desperately wanted to match the two as before. "But our family still has a lot of appointments, I promise. Help you pick the best one!"

"A lot of appointments?" Ji Meng tears down the stage. "You can make another one for me to see?"

Ling Xiaolu didn't want to sprout again.

"The situation is constantly evolving. There is no current situation, which does not mean that there will be no future."

He turned around and lobbied Nan Kaoru: "How about? Join us!"

Nan Xun asked Ji Meng tentatively: "Can I?"

Ji Meng's eyes softened: "Whatever you want."

Ling Xiaolu was full of suspicion, he actually tasted a trace of... affection from Ji Meng's attitude towards Nan Xun?

After realizing this, he shivered, loving others Ji Meng, sounded like a horror movie.

The horror heroine doesn't think so.

"I am willing to join. Brother Ji Meng is a good person, and Brother Ji Meng's friends must also be good people. I believe you."

The two happily touched their thumbs.

"Welcome to become the eighth member of our family!"

Nan Kaoru tilted his head again: "But Brother Lubi, you just said that this position is reserved for me specially. It takes ten people to set up a family, and I only have eight. Isn't this just because you lack people?"

Ling Xiaolu: "..."

"laugh-"

He quickly turned his head, his mocking expression remained on Ji Meng's face before he could take it back.

Ling Xiaolu stared at him angrily. Was it so happy to see me being taken apart by a girl in public?

There is no shortage of onlookers in this world:

"There is no shortage of people, no lack of people, I am a human!"

"Coincidentally, I am a human too!"

"Don't I look like a person?"

"Let's talk, do you want a man or a woman or an orc? I can do it!"

Ling Xiaolu was ridiculed by Ji Meng, but he became proud.

"Sorry, our family does not openly recruit people, whether men or women or half-orcs, we pass, pass, don't!"

…

A day later, Ling Xiaolu tasted the bitter fruit of Tsundere. He neither found a suitable candidate, nor was he embarrassed to openly recruit. In order to avoid being laughed at by Ji Meng again, he hid in the hot spring of Li Zheng and sighed.

Probably it was because the heavens saw him pitifully. Chang Huanxi, who had been online for the past 24 hours but had no idea where he was fooling around, sent a good news.

Xi'er: Brother Fawn! I made a new good friend, and after a day of investigation, it fully meets the income requirements of our family!

Lubi: Really? Great! But what are the income conditions for our family?

Xi'er: Live! No family!

Lubi:...

Lubi: Great! This is the perfect candidate for the elite of our family! How about others?

Xier: Taciturn! Not smirking! Cherish the word as gold!

This is exactly one sentence, broken into three sentences to say, over and over again only expressed one meaning.

What kind of person can have this kind of language talent?

Web author!

It's really a pity that Chang Huanxi doesn't go to work!

Lubi: I like this taciturn! Not smirking! Cherish the word as gold! Member of the family! Xi'er, your level of offline business is really strong!

Xier: It's a must! I have said it, wrap it on me!

Xi'er: Stop talking! He is waiting for me to do the task, see you later in the family management office!

Although it was good news, it only solved 50% of the problems. Ling Xiaolu couldn't help but sigh.

"You have been sighing there since the morning, is the hot spring too cold?"

"Master!" Ling Xiaolu straightened up and exposed his entire head to the surface of the water, "Do you still play flute today?"

"I don't play flute, I want to see you blow bubbles."

Ling Xiaolu was serious: "Master, am I the kind of person who has no dignity and standpoint?

"I'm!"

Ling Xiaolu: Gufufufufufufu...

"Very good," Li Zheng paused deliberately, "You can publish it."

Ling Xiaolu: "..."

It is also a talent show, why is the gap between people so wide? !

"I'm telling you, Master, I want to form a family, but I have to form a family of ten people before it is allowed to form." Ling Xiaolu stopped spitting bubbles and began to complain.

"How many are there now?"

"Nine, one short of one." Ling Xiaolu said dejectedly, "I only made up so much for a whole day."

"Oh." Li Zheng replied lightly, and said after a moment, "I don't have a family yet."

"right…"

Ling Xiaolu: ...? ? ?

Ling Xiaolu: …! !

He stammered: "Master, if you say this, it is very easy to cause misunderstandings."

"What's the misunderstanding?"

Ling Xiaolu blinked his eyes: "That is, I misunderstood what you want to join, Master."

"Oh." Li Zheng replied again, "then you have no misunderstanding."

Ling Xiaolu: O__O

"Master, is what you said is true? I'm not blind with my ears, am I!"

"You may have been soaking in the hot springs for a long time, and your mind has been flooded."

"Ah! Master—thank you—!" Ling Xiaolu jumped out of the hot spring and rushed over with open arms.

"set!"

Ling Xiaolu, set in mid-air:...

"You call someone, I'll wait for the past."

In Ling Xiaolu's heart: Good, good, good, good!

Li Zheng: "Solution!"

"Bawch—" Ling Xiaolu fell from mid-air and fell into a piece of deerskin.

Lubi: Xier! Don't do the task! Family Management Office, gather!

Xier: Oh oh oh? Are you all here? Here we are!

Lubi: Call Linglong! What about the person you introduced yesterday? where is it? what is it call?

Ling Long: Zero! Just a single name "zero"! I asked him to do the pre-task yesterday, and it should have been done. Are there enough people on your side? Then I tell him to go to the family management office to meet you!

Lubi: I love you MUA~!

Chang Huanxi was the first to arrive. Ling Xiaolu saw him as soon as he entered the door of the family management office. A tall man was standing beside him. Chang Huanxi changed to an expensive set of mall fashions, which looked a little more pleasing than yesterday.

"Xier, you are here!"

The two turned around at the same time, and Ling Xiaolu's unique shape also surprised Ling Xiaolu for two seconds.

"You are the friend Ling Long introduced," Ling Xiaolu walked over generously, "I am Lubi."

Chang Huanxiqi: "Huh? Do you know each other?"

Ling Xiaolu:?

"Introduce you, this is the friend I mentioned to you who cherishes words like gold-zero."

"..." Ling Xiaolu blinked, "Zero?"

"zero!"

"zero??"

"zero!"

Ling Xiaolu did not give up on Ling Long's private chat and read it again: "Zero???"

"zero!!"

Zero: "It's me."

Ling Xiaolu couldn't help cursing an swear word: "Slot!"

Chang Huanxi hid subconsciously.

Ling Xiaolu was puzzled: "What are you hiding?"

"I thought you put Frostbolt."

"..."

Ling Xiaolu called Ling Long again.

Lubi: Dear, is there anyone with the same name in this game?

Ling Long: My dear, of course not, each player’s ID is unique~

Lubi: Then why does the person you introduced have exactly the same name as the person Xi'er found? !

Ling Long: Don't worry, what's the situation on your side?

Ling Xiaolu spoke five to ten.

Ling Long: Kiss, in this case, I think it's possible that these two people are the same person. Tell me, it’s not a coincidence~

Ling Xiaolu's face was not good.

Chang Huanxi also noticed: "Brother Deer, what's wrong?"

"Having a big oolong, there are still only nine people."

"What's the matter? Just find another one."

"But I have notified everyone that they are coming."

Take a walk for everyone for no reason, if this everyone also includes Li Zheng and Miss...

"Ah—" Ling Xiaolu covered his face in despair.

A familiar figure appeared at the door of the management office.

Ling Xiaolu saw through his fingers and shouted: "411!"

411 was taken aback: "It's you?!"

He carefully looked around: "Is your master here?"

"Not here."

411 breathed a sigh of relief, his arrogance suddenly arrogant: "That's good, I heard that the Great Demon King has been locked up in jail, and your master is not here, I see who will support you today!"

"..." Ling Xiaolu was suddenly kind, "411, do you have a family?"

411 warned: "No, why? Why are you talking to me like that all of a sudden?"

"It's no wonder that your various gossip messages are always lagging behind. With a family, there will be no such troubles."

"So I just came to see if there are any family tricks...what does it have to do with you!"

"Dear, let's find out about the new family online nine wait one?"

"New family?" 411 smirked, "Who is there? Are you, and the two great gods over there? How come those who have been playing for a long time love to hug and build a family?"

"Not all of them are cute, there are still old players."

"Yes!" 411 interrupted with a wave of hands, "I must add a big guild, so that it is worthy of my identity. A small family like you, a fledgling family, stand aside."

"Brother Lubi." A sweet voice sounded.

"Nan Kaoru, you are here."

"Well," Nan Kaoru nodded, "I heard that Brother Lubi has found all the people."

Ling Xiaolu sighed: "There was an accident, and it's not good now—"

"No, bad, people!"

With a roar of the shaking, Ling Xiaolu was almost frightened with tinnitus.

411 looks calmly: "We are not bad people!"

Ling Xiaolu: Huh?

411 pulled Ling Xiaolu aside, his voice was low and sharp: "It's a fan name!"

He pointed to the top of his head desperately: "Fan name! Alive!"

"What happened then?"

"It's the first time I saw a fan name so close!"

Ling Xiaolu was speechless: "Brother, your voice is almost as thin as an embroidery needle."

"Cough cough." The big-throated man returned.

411 clasped his shoulders: "Where did you find your fan name? Is it your master's favorite?"

"of course not."

411 secretly relieved: "Fortunately, I remember that Li Zheng was not favored by anyone, and I almost thought I was abandoned by the times."

"..."

"I've decided that it's suitable for a new and adorable family like you to find an experienced leader like me."

"Have you changed your mind?"

"From now on, whether you and Fanming want to go to the battlefield, or the battlefield, or the battlefield," he patted his chest, "all on my brother!"

"Ah—" He peeked at Nan Xun after he finished booking the ticket, so cute, "The pink name is so cute."

"..."

"Are you done?" Chang Huanxi shouted from a distance.

Ling Xiaolu was snatched by 411 as soon as he wanted to reply, "It's done! From now on, my brother will cover you!"

After he finished speaking, he saw Chang Huanxi's face clearly and got goose bumps.

How can there be people who are so ugly and confident who dare to play games with their real appearance. Are you willing to buy such expensive fashions, can't you just charge up some more money and get a face in the mall?

"Who are you going to cover?" A gloomy voice sounded from behind.

It was the first time that Ling Xiaolu saw a person who could run so fast. A person as big as he was standing here just now shuddered into a corner in an instant.

"What's the matter, isn't the Great Demon King locked up?"

"Ah, let me introduce you. This is the tenth member of our family." Ling Xiaolu said hello in advance for fear that Yunjiu would start too quickly, and then quietly moved in, "You said you wouldn't do anything to people in the family."

Lu Jiu tilted his head slightly: "I will try my best."

Ling Xiaolu: What kind of guarantee do you try!

This promise didn't make 411 feel much better. He hugged him tremblingly, frightened.

"Ah, am I abandoned by the times again?"

The golden whirlwind is sometimes mixed with thunder and lightning. Such a high-profile appearance is undoubtedly Ji Meng.

"How come there are such people?" he asked as soon as he landed.

"I will be there soon," Ling Xiaolu replied.

"Oh by the way, I will introduce you two newcomers, Zero, and 411."

411 has become petrified.

Ji Meng frowned: "How does Zero look so weird? And how did 411 come from? I don't think he is called by this name."

"Call! My name is 411!" 411 panicked and lifted from the petrochemical state. "Prince...no, Ji Meng...no, husband, I will buy a name change card and change my name. From then on I will be called 411!"

Ji Meng's face sank again: "Call again, your number is gone."

411: ...Which one!

"Different."

"Huh? What did you say?" Chang Huanxi asked.

"He has a different color from us."

Chang Huanxi suddenly said, "Are you talking about a name? Do you like his name?"

"Like?" Ling asked rhetorically.

Chang Huanxi will be wrong: "It's not easy, you wait."

Ji Qing came late with the first buds.

"It turns out we are not the latest."

Chuya's fashion has changed. Yesterday it was a light green elf skirt. Today it is a maid suit with cat ears. The ears and tail are vivid. Because he was so cute, Ling Xiaolu couldn't help but glance more.

Naturally, Ji Meng also noticed this change. He knew that his sister had played the game as "First Bud Across the World" for a day or two, but it wasn't until today that he realized the fun of this gameplay.

If someone is his pet, he can buy different fashions to dress him up every day. If this cat ear suit is worn on someone, I don’t know what it looks like.

After Ling Xiaolu appreciated Chuya's cuteness, he realized that there was someone around him who saw him more seriously, so he took a prank shot of his forehead.

Ji Meng was immersed in weird fantasies. After being photographed, he saw Ling Xiaolu's undoubted green name. There was a cruel disillusionment.

Dou Kou is all to blame for giving him unexpected expectations.

"Looking dumb?" Ling Xiaolu teased him, "Chuoya is really cute."

Ji Meng didn't want to explain, and put aside his face awkwardly, but was mistaken for embarrassment by Ling Xiaolu.

It turned out that Ji Meng liked this type, and Ling Xiaolu looked at Chuya thoughtfully.

But it's right to think about it, Ji Meng loves babies the most, and cats are also a kind of babies.

It's not just Ji Meng who is in a daze, but there is also 411 in the corner that nobody cares about. He widened his eyes and repeated incoherently: "Miss, Miss..."

411 raised his pain perception again while no one was paying attention, and gently slapped himself.

It hurts!

Not a dream!

411 covered his face and was about to cry.

Now that Li Zheng appeared, he wouldn't be surprised.

"Ah, my master is here."

411 cried.

"Fawn Bi, face is not small, so I have invited Li Zheng." Ji Qing teased him.

"No, no," Ling Xiaolu was modest, "It's the master who loves me. Seeing that I can't find anyone, come and help me count."

Chuya whispered his lips: "Cult."

Li Zheng didn't participate in their conversation: "Disciple, are you all here?"

Ling Xiaolu looked around: "We are all here, but where did Xi'er go?"

Ji Meng also found that Chang Huanxi was missing.

"He's not online anymore, why is this guy so unreliable?"

"Come here!" As he was talking, Chang Huanxi made his debut.

The scene was quiet.

"Changzi, have you bought a ring now?" Ji Meng asked the audience's questions.

"Zero said that the color of the name is more beautiful." Chang Huanxi praised him, "Don't say, your service is really good. Five minutes after I placed an online order, someone delivered it to my door. Such a small ring was actually returned. A manager and two customer services were sent on a special trip. It’s really customer first!"

Ji Meng: "I'm full."

"Presumptuous! Is this the attitude you should have towards VIP client fathers?"

Ji Qing smiled: "Why don't you tell me a discount in advance."

Chang Huanxi waved his fat hand: "It's not bad that little change!"

Ling Xiaolu: …from today to hate the rich!

411: I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead...

The family manager walked to the center of the venue.

"Dear Lubi, have you assembled ten companions who are willing to fight side by side, and all of them are present?"

Ling Xiaolu straightened up immediately: "Yes."

There was a slight vibration on the ground, and ten finely carved pillars slowly rose from the ground. On the top of each pillar was a rectangular photo frame filled with golden inkpad.

"Now, please leave your unique mark on the vow stand."

Ling Xiaolu exchanged glances with Ji Meng, took the lead, and placed the palm of his right hand in the center of the frame, pressing hard to make a clear fingerprint.

The administrator's voice echoed slowly and solemnly in the hall.

"From this day on, you have companions, and from then on, you will no longer be alone. You will share joy, share joy, and share worries and suffering..."

Ji Meng, Li Zheng, Yunjiu, Ji Qing, Chuya, Chang Huanxi, Ling, Nan Xun, and finally trembling 411, stepped forward one by one, rubbing their handprints on the vows stand.

In reality, they may be relatives and friends, but more are strangers who have never met. But these ten handprints connected them together. In this virtual magical continent, they marched together for a common goal.

"May you advance and retreat together, share prosperity and disgrace, share ups and downs, and coexist and die, be with you forever, and-never separate.

The NPC manager read the last word, smiled slightly, and closed the vow book.

"Congratulations, the family is established."

The author has something to say: Today’s news: Unscrupulous tabloid reporter 20938204 was wanted by Dou Kou at a high price after absconding.
