【December 31, 2021.】

[Suitable for: offering sacrifices, sculpting and painting, consecration, tailoring, crowns and hairpins.]

【Taboo: Traveling, burying, repairing graves, opening a market.】

…

People from the Dragon Kingdom seem to be very particular about choosing dates for activities.

When carrying out certain important events, such as marriage, moving, worship, and burial, they will specially choose a suitable date in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly and everything goes well in the future.

...but it is obvious that Noel and others do not pay attention to this at all.

Regardless of whether the 31st was a taboo for traveling, early in the morning, he showed up at the door of Su Ming'an's house on time with Lu Shunyin and others.

"Open the door, open the door!" Noel knocked on the fence of the gate, making a "clang" sound on the iron fence, and even started to joke: "Su Mingan! Come out! You have the ability to steal people, you have the ability to open the door.

!”

"..."

Su Ming'an, who was woken up by the noise, got up from the bed with some discomfort.

He looked at the time. It was now half past eight in the morning. This group of people was a full hour early.

Since he and Noel had agreed to meet on the morning of the 31st, he deliberately did not stay in that cramped personal space today, but chose to stay one night in the house in the retirement area that he had bought previously.

After staying this night, he already understood why some people were so addicted to pleasure, and why they kept running away even though they knew the crisis was right in front of them.

…because it’s really relaxing to show off.

They live here and don't need to clean. The house will be cleaned automatically. They can choose the furniture by themselves and arrange it in any way they like. Because the prices are really cheap, it's no problem to change the decoration style every day.

You don't need to put up wallpapers yourself or move furniture. You can just freely arrange the home environment around you just like playing a decoration simulation game.

If there is something you want to eat, even if it is delicacies that you have never been able to eat before, you can redeem it with 0.1 points. If there are comics you want to read, games you want to play, and spiritual food you want to enjoy, don’t be afraid.

If you don't have enough fun, just look for the live broadcast in the dungeon on the world forum, find a powerful player on the list to take the first-person perspective, and you will have more fun than anyone else.

Not to mention, there are now entertainment products such as novels, comics, TV series, movies, and mini-games based on replicas of world games, which makes people even more happy.

Just like those people who know they have an exam in a week but still play games a few days ago.

Most people do not have strong self-awareness. They may have been hot-headed and wanted to try a different world situation, but after experiencing the pain of injury and death, and before the copy of the real mental danger, they began to

Stop looking at it.

Since the overall condition of the progress bar is good and it is difficult for people like them to survive participating in the dungeon, it is better to start with leisure points and accumulate their own gains in order to achieve stability.

"Coming down soon! Coming down!" Noel's shout interrupted his thinking.

Noel had already started rolling his hands into tubes and yelling downstairs.

After a while, Su Mingan slowly walked out.

There is also a small garden at the door of this villa, which grows naturally even if no one takes care of it, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants.

There is no air pollution or smog like on Zhaixing, and even the air is extremely fresh.

"Click click click".

From time to time, the sound of chess playing can be heard next door. Since this is a retirement home, many old men and women are gathered here to smoke, drink tea and play mahjong. There are several pairs of middle-aged men sitting on the street corner who are playing chess.

They generally have young faces, as if they are used to living like this. There is not even a hanging live broadcast screen here, and they live like they are isolated from the world, as if they are not paying attention to world events at all.

This is also the reason why Su Mingan chose this place in the first place. It is quiet, remote and has no quarrels. The district server number is ranked low. Suicides and terrorist attackers will not come here to run wild. There are only a group of old men and women playing chess with Yanghua.

, and these people seemed not to even know them.

This is a nice paradise.

Su Mingan walked through the flower-scented path, opened the iron lock of the door, and saw three people standing outside the fence.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound.

Lin Yin smiled and knocked out the colorful flowers on his hand, and the colorful streamers fell on Su Ming'an's head.

He didn't hide, but gently swept the streamers away.

"Happy birthday Su Ming'an." Lin Yin said with a smile: "Have you watched the World Forum? After the time was announced at 12 o'clock in the morning, the homepage was going crazy."

Su Mingan nodded.

In the early morning, he happened to be looking at the information of the players at the top of the list. As soon as he exited the interface, he took a sip of coffee and refreshed it, and found that the original forum suddenly changed.

As if swept by a bright red flood, the homepage of the World Forum instantly turned into a full page of bright red [2021, Happy Nineteenth Birthday to the Number One Player!].

That scene can be called a spectacular scene. At midnight, various birthday wishes, long text mood posts, joint congratulatory pictures, and videos of hundreds of people gathered crowded the interface. Even the major sections and temporary chat rooms were crowded with blessings.

words, interrupting other people who were still chatting normally.

People jokingly said that this day should be historically named "The First Player Forum Conference".

Su Mingan scrolled through dozens of pages in the forum interface, all of which were filled with birthday celebration posts. These posts almost crowded out other serious strategy posts, event posts, and player discussion posts. For a while, the forum was filled with a happy atmosphere.

.

Even, I don’t know if it was out of Boss Rabbit’s bad taste, the white-haired and red-eyed boy in the original loa interface of the World Forum was replaced with a picture of a lighthouse. When he reopened the World Forum, the picture began to emit green light.

Come on, the picture looks extremely shady.

Moreover, various top players also posted posts together to celebrate his birthday, as if they had agreed to do so.

Aini, Flora, Lu, Beiwang, Yamada Machichi, Lin Jiang, Alger, Iris, Luna... and even some people in the organization, such as Ashkel, Liu Jiahe, Gretel, Huber

The special ones all sent a simple blessing.

Although I don’t know if it is because of the 100-player competition at the top of the Eighth World that these top players are eager to have a good relationship with him...

"Lin Yin, we agreed that we won't talk about the world game today." Lu Shu reminded Lin Yin.

Lin Yin immediately stretched out his hand and made a zipper movement in front of his mouth.

"It's okay, there's no need to avoid it." Su Mingan swept away the red ribbon on his shoulder: "We live here, and it's normal to talk about things related to the environment. It's unnatural to avoid it."

He suddenly noticed that these three people were wearing different clothes today.

Lu Shu usually wears a battle uniform in the dungeon world, but today he is wearing a black shorts embroidered with pine, bamboo and white cranes.

There was a bright red short rope wrapped around his wrist, leaving a touch of red in the pure black. The red butterfly stayed on his shoulder, as quiet as a model.

Next to him, Lin Yin was wearing a red short skirt. Her high ponytail swayed neatly on the back of her head. A few strands of messy hair were tied up with a bright red double bow. Her slightly dark brown eyes reflected Su Mingan's body clearly. shape.

Even wearing a skirt, she looks full of aura. Since her physique is much higher than that of ordinary people, she will not feel cold wearing this in the light snow. Instead, she has the boldness of going out with bare legs in the ice and snow.

As for Noel... Su Mingan was even more surprised.

Normally, Noel is either dressed like an English gentleman or aristocratic in the ancient European style. Top hat, red bow tie, cane and other retro-style decorations are always his standard equipment. When you see him, you will feel black and white. The feeling of a little nobleman from the previous century that came out of the movie.

But today, this young man who is obviously from abroad is actually wearing a white and red sweatshirt like the local customs. He has his hands in his pockets, his blond half-long hair is tied into a pigtail and hangs behind his head, and on his feet is a pair of dark Martin boots. The boots have an obvious modern flavor, like a foreign student who has just walked out of a university town.

White, black, and red, these three colors appear on these three people in an extremely coordinated manner, just like team uniforms, giving people a refreshing sense of coordination.

"Let's go to the first stop today." Lin Yin smiled and put away the map in his hand.

…

"5 points to enjoy the virtual scenery of the 'White City' architecture! The scene of the White City is perfectly reproduced, and there are even staff playing famous characters such as 'Nolia' and 'Shiro'! Half price at the end of the year, don't miss it if you pass by! Come and experience it without any risk The Baicheng version!"

"The eighth world view competition area is open! Three groups have been formed. Players who want to watch the game together are welcome to join. There will be free melon seeds, snacks and tea! The boss is handsome and has a good personality. The boss lady is collected online. I support Edward in crawling away."

“Selling 2021 limited edition milk tea, New Year’s Bobo milk tea! Buy one, get one free”

“The number one player’s birthday limited gifts are on sale! Air rifles, hoops, and goldfish fishing games are waiting for you to play!”

The streets became more and more lively.

Just like a carnival on a legal holiday, Su Mingan was shocked by the lively scene as soon as he arrived in a crowded area and walked onto the street.

…Is this the legendary travel scene during the May Day holiday?

At this time, the faces of the four of them were covered with the demon fox masks brought by Lin Yin. In this situation where there were so many people, it was difficult to be discovered.

Noel's blond hair is a bit conspicuous, but foreigners are not absent here, and no one will stare at the passers-by carefully.

When they walk on the street like this, they are safe even without turning on the privacy fog.

Noises kept passing through my ears, and people kept passing them by.

This seems to be an activity area, a bit like the ancient town on Zhai Star.

Various goods are sold on the street, including flowers and dried fruits, wooden swords, rouge and gouache, hairpins and silk flowers, etc. It can be said that they are sold in hundreds of department stores.

In addition, there are also snacks such as candied haws, pickled plum juice, crab roe soup dumplings, chicken feet with pickled peppers and other snacks. The aroma of various delicacies lingers in the entire neighborhood.

Among the people walking on the street, there are many young ladies wearing Hanfu. Their long black hair spreads down, their long skirts touch the floor, and they walk with a unique ancient charm. They hold fans or paper umbrellas, whisper and laugh like It floated out through the noisy crowd like silver bells.

There are even groups of children on the street who are not followed by their parents. They walk in groups on the antique streets, holding small firecrackers and small swords, and having a great time.

There is also an opera performance being performed not far away, and many middle-aged people are watching it with great interest. Puppet shows, Huangmei Opera, martial arts performances... They seem to prefer this authentic flavor to the exciting and dangerous copy live broadcasts of world games. 's performance.

This is the inheritance of culture and the nostalgia of human beings for their homeland.
