A Race to The Top

"It would be great if I knew Master as an ordinary player, so I wouldn't have to keep secrets, and would always keep a distance from Master tremblingly.

"At least I can say thank you openly when Master helps me, instead of being so guilty that I don't even dare to say thank you.

"But if that's the case, I'm afraid that the master won't notice me at first, and I don't have the honor to worship the best-looking **** in the game as a teacher."

A cold wind blew through, curling up the ends of Lizheng's silver-white hair, and also blowing away a little mist in the forest. Some things became clearer.

"It's impossible for me to know someone. He is not as smart as the master, and not as good as the master. He is full of control and has a grumpy temper.

"He is terribly kind, and awkward to death. Even what he thinks is that an AI has set a wish, he will use his whole heart to guard it."

Ling Xiaolu raised his face and showed firm eyes.

"Master, I no longer have any secrets in front of you. I have no ghosts in my heart. If you don't mind having someone in my heart, please let me be your support on the battlefield in the future."

Li Zheng's voice was cold: "Do you really think so?"

Ling Xiaolu nodded: "Yeah!"

"This is your last chance to refuse."

"I won't regret it!"

Li Zheng slowly raised his finger, and Ling Xiaolu watched with his own eyes that the jade-like fingertips drew an arc in front of his eyes, settled, and seemed to be waiting for his response.

At this untimely timing, a small firework suddenly exploded on the horizon.

On the far side of the mountain, in a place full of flowers, Cult B nervously held Crew A's hand.

"What are you doing? The ceremony hasn't started yet, isn't it a good idea to light up all the fireworks at the moment of the conclusion of the bond, and give Miss Nan Xun a surprise?"

Sophistry with Ban Jia for his hand error: "I'll try to use it first, what if the fire is misfired by the time?"

"Are you stupid? This is not a real firework, how can it be misfired?"

"Huh? No?"

"I warn you, this is the most expensive firework set in the mall. No matter where it is lit, players across the entire continent can see it. The smallest number you just set will also have to be ninety-eight. If it is discovered by the patriarch , I will definitely want you to lose money!"

With a guilty conscience with Ban Jia, I hope Dou Kou didn't notice the accident just now.

"I can't think of a person with such an iron **** as the patriarch, who is willing to spend a lot of money for Miss Nanxun."

"Isn't it? Don't blink later, the fireworks of 100,000 pieces of real gold and silver will disappear after hearing the sound." Follower B murmured, "I have to say that the Prince's money is really good, why didn't I? What about Ji?"

As soon as he looked up, he found that Pan Jia was picking his ears.

"What are you doing again?"

"Didn't you say that it's gone if you listen to it? I, I want to listen carefully and listen clearly."

"...Mentally retarded!"

Ling Xiaolu took a deep breath, and was about to follow suit, but Li Zheng's finger suddenly moved down, tapping on his chest.

"Then I will accept your sincerity."

Ling Xiaolu was completely confused.

"...Master?"

Li Zheng calmly took up his hand: "Why? It's not what you said, if I don't mind? Unfortunately, I mind, so you were eliminated."

"But Slaughter and Qingmei..."

"Do you really think that without you, I am not the opponent of those two people? How vulnerable do you imagine your master? I said I need you, it is true. But without you, it does not mean I will Surrender with your hands."

Ling Xiaolu still didn't understand, and looked at a loss.

Li Zheng chuckled: "Disciple, I don't know who is in your heart? What you said today, when you confessed to that person, I will know."

Ling Xiaolu panicked: "What confession, when, I didn't..."

"Just yesterday, when the two of you were alone in the backyard. It wasn't for the teacher to say you, your confession is so subtle, you can hear it for the teacher, don't you think fools can understand it?"

"I……"

"Next time, remember, don't talk to fools, especially if you are in love with the premise that your intelligence will be reduced."

All the firmness that Ling Xiaolu had gathered up with courage was disrupted and shattered. He stood awkwardly on the spot, not knowing how to digest this huge turning point.

"But Master, since you were already yesterday... why do you want me to come over today?"

"Because there is such a kind of person who doesn't know what to say without being pushed to the limit. I don't irritate him, I don't know how long he will keep my stupid disciple waiting for me."

"So... Master, you deliberately?"

"I sent him the coordinate function a few minutes ago. Of course, it's his question whether it can be solved."

"..." Ling Xiaolu remembered that when they came here to catch the cloud fox last time, Li Zheng also drew a curve function on the snow.

Li Zheng raised his eyelids lightly, as if talking to someone in the sky.

"Don't inform."

Ling Xiaolu:?

He looked up and saw that only "Ling Long" was floating in the air alone, but he had forgotten the live broadcast.

——Don't worry, the male god! We won't say it! ! !

——Believe that the prince can untie it! People who are not good at math are not worthy of having love! ! !

——Woo, a good Chinese master, male god, can I worship you as a teacher? The kind of boyfriend who doesn't need to bag!

"Master, who are you talking to?"

Li Zhengliu raised his eyebrows: "Don't you go?"

Ling Xiaolu instinctively rode on the Linglu in a panic, and after turning around in place, he thought:

"...Well, Master, where do you draw the coordinates?"

Li Zheng pointed to the top of the mountain: "The highest altitude in Beimang, if you don't agree, you can jump off the cliff together."

"..." Ling Xiaolu turned the deer head, "Then I'm going!"

Linglu leapt more than ten meters lightly and then stopped. The young man on its back turned his head excitedly and shouted towards this side:

"Thank you Master!"

——If I know Master as an ordinary player... At least I can say thank you openly when Master helps me...

Li Zhengtian Wang Linglu carried Ling Xiaolu far away, leaving a string of circular hoof prints on the thick snow all the way to the top of the mountain.

The apprentice he had been raising for so long was finally handed over.

He came with spring, and he still belongs to Dongye after all.

"Chuoya." Ji Qing's voice sounded not high or low.

"Ah," Chuya hurriedly turned off the live broadcast page, "Master."

"The ceremony will begin soon, what are you still watching?" Ji Qing asked knowingly.

"No, I'm ready." Chuya arranged the dress of the same style as Ji Qing on her lower body extraneously. "That is, does it really matter if so many people in our family are absent?"

After all, it was an important ceremony for Nanxun, but almost half of the main members of Lutousha were not present.

"I don't think Nan Kaoru herself would mind."

Seeing Chuya's anxious look at the dark center, Ji Qing smiled and relieved her: "Although my brother is a little stupid, he won't let people down at critical moments, and have confidence in him."

The costumed Nan Xun ran over with her little skirt: "Sisters, can we start?"

"Xiao Nanxun, you dressed really nicely today." Chuya praised her.

"Daddy bought it, but the skirt is very long. I'm afraid of tripping over later."

"Because this skirt is worn by a lady, you can't run as fast as you did just now." Ji Qing and Chuya alone helped her lift the skirt, "Let's go, we will help you."

Chu Yalin took a look in the direction of Beimang, Ji Xiaomeng, you have to fight for your breath.

The three walked across the red carpet paved with petals, filled with angels and roses along the way-the two most romantic pets in the game, will not be absent in any grand ceremony, the latter is still constantly showing The petals are thrown outside, adding thickness to the red carpet under their feet.

Seven kinds of elves are flying in the sky, where they glide, colorful stars are falling, some of them fall on Nan Kaoru’s head, making her look like a mortal fairy, wet by the Milky Way on the way. Hair.

Many online players came to watch the excitement, not only along the way, but also at higher places far away, crowded with onlookers. The gray-clothed people in the studio cautiously hid in the corner, for fear of dimming the color of the festival.

With excitement, Dou Kou watched his little angel walk towards him. This coveted picture came thousands of times better than he had imagined.

Only after repeated reminders from his attendants did he remember to give a welcome speech.

"Welcome so many friends on the scene to come and witness the bond between me and my daughter. My daughter is the best angel in the world... No, no, how can angels be in the world, it is heaven... This is unlucky, heaven and earth... …In short, there is no cute little angel than my daughter!"

The attendant reminded in a low voice: "Patriarch, calm down."

"I can't calm down, playing games for so long, I have almost everything, but never happier than now. God took away my Jingzhe City, but compensated me with such a beautiful daughter."

Dou Kou's joy is beyond words.

"A long time ago, my daughter once questioned me, what is she in my eyes, this collar, or this gray dress?

"I have been thinking about this for a long time. Before I met my daughter, my biggest wish was to have a fan name. I don't care who it is, and I don't care if it is good or not.

"After meeting my daughter, I finally found out. This is this person and there is no other fan name. I am waiting for her!

"I want to thank those fans who have turned me away. It was you who made me wait. The most innocent, cutest, and most understanding little angel, my little princess, and my little Nan Kaoru."

He suddenly looked guilty: "Daughter, I once said rude things to your family members, so I prepared such a gift, hoping to get forgiveness from everyone."

Dou Kou raised his hand and clicked in the void, and his decent dress instantly changed, turning into an unremarkable gray dress like the people in the studio.

At the same time, all the members of the Dou Niwan family who were present had put on the same clothes neatly and stood with Nan Xun's family, regardless of you and me.

Nan Xun subconsciously raised his hands and covered his mouth: "..."

"Daughter, I did a lot of mistakes in the past, thank you for accepting me regardless of the prejudices. From now on, your family is my family, and I will take care of you for each of them. I swear by... I swear by all the mines in the family. , I want you to be healthy and happy forever, so..."

He stretched out his index finger tremblingly: "Are you willing?"

Ling Xiaolu finally reached the top of the snow-covered mountain, and met Ji Meng, who had just driven a deer from the other side of the mountain. They unanimously pulled their mounts together, one person and one deer, looking at each other at a distance of more than ten meters.

Obviously he didn't run up by himself, but he was also short of breath, and the white breath exhaling from his mouth was messed up by the cold wind.

They came down from the deer's back by coincidence, but no one took a step.

The gasping sound leaped in the eardrum, and a second was as long as ten thousand years.

Nan Kaoru put down the hands he was blocking his mouth for a long time, smiled slightly, and changed his priceless little skirt back to plain gray clothes.

She also extended her index finger to Dou Kou: "I am willing to... Dad."

As soon as the two fingertips touched, the second follower, who was always nervous, immediately ordered: "It's now! Let it go!"

Bright and splendid fireworks rose into the sky and bloomed, one by one, and the entire magical continent, no matter where you were, was shrouded in this grand firework.

In the remote Beiman Mountain, the two people who had looked at each other affectionately were attracted by the fireworks in the sky at the same time.

Ling Xiaolu was dragged into his memory by the sound of fireworks. What did Ji Meng say at the time when fireworks filled the sky last time?

"I want to team up with you to do missions!"

Ling Xiaolu: "..."

He was pulled back to reality by the sound. This was not the picture in the memory, but Ji Meng was standing opposite, ten meters away from him, shouting loudly.

What he said last time is actually repeated exactly the same again this time.

Ling Xiaolu couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know what expression to respond with.

"You heard that I finished!" Ji Meng yelled anxiously, "I want to form a team with you to go to the battlefield!"

"I want to team up with you to catch the baby!

"I want to do everything with you, I want to go to every place on this continent with you!

"I know you have a lot of friends, you can go to many places and do a lot of things with you. I know that Li Zheng needs you more than I do, and I also know that you are more interested in similarities with Yunjiu.

"But I only have you, and I only want to be with you!

"Because you are the first friend I made in the game!

"Because you are the only one who won't laugh at me playing with my baby.

"Because you are the only one who didn't block my circle of friends and gave me a thumbs up for every one of them.

"You were even the first person to talk to me about Qiu Kabi since childhood. I originally thought that there would never be such a person.

"I said I appreciate you standing up for others, I said I respect any decision you make..."

Ji Meng had to raise his voice again to fight against the sound of fireworks in the sky.

"Those are lying to you!

"Actually I don't want to!

"I also tried my best, so I didn't stop you at the last second when you teleported away!"

His lips were shaking uncontrollably.

"But I regret it now!"

Ling Xiaolu's eyes were red unknowingly, while Ji Meng's eyes were also red, and he exhausted all his strength and shouted the last words:

"I don't care if you are a green name or a fan name, and I don't care if you are a human or an AI!

"Because I like—"

Ling Xiaolu opened his eyes slowly, and the familiar furnishings reminded him that this is the living room at home, and he is sitting on the sofa by the window, moonlight is spilling in through the glass, and it feels like a world away.

He lowered his head stiffly, half of the broken collar fell on his knees, and half fell to the ground. The edge of the metal reflected the cold white moonlight.
