Lord God, do you want a wife?

There was a hint of contempt in Xiao Fan's eyes, and he cursed in his heart, thinking that if he wanted to find a girlfriend, he should find someone like Bai Nian.

Rich and good-looking.

Xiao Fan was calculating in his mind, but Chu Qianyu had no idea what he was thinking.

"Qianyu, thank you. I know you will always support me. When I have money in the future, I will definitely pay you back double."

Chu Qianyu was delighted to hear this, but she just lowered her head shyly, not daring to look him in the eye. At this moment, she was like a blooming water lotus, shy and charming, which made Xiao Fan swallow unconsciously.

"There's no need to talk about this between us. By the way, Afan, my mother wants to meet you. When are you free to come to my house?"

She and Xiao Fan had long reached the point of discussing marriage, but the nature of Xiao Fan's work required him to travel between various planets, making it difficult for him to find time, so the matter of meeting with his parents was postponed again and again.

This time they can meet frequently through the game, and Chu Qianyu feels that there are some things that should be mentioned.

Xiao Fan's heart was still wavering, but he suddenly came to his senses when he heard Chu Qianyu say this.

He said impatiently, "Wait a little longer. Besides taking photos for people everywhere, I also need to make money in the game. I will go to see your mother after I have collected enough for the down payment of your house.

Otherwise, I would have no car or house, and I would not be able to meet my future mother-in-law."

Chu Qianyu was touched by these words, and also felt a little distressed: "Actually, you don't have to work so hard. I can do without that house..."

"How can that be possible?!"

Xiao Fan frowned and became unhappy when he heard this. Even if he really married Chu Qianyu as a last resort, he couldn't live in that old woman's village in the city.

No matter how badly he was doing, he didn't want to live with old people. He always felt uncomfortable and there was an old-fashioned vibe to him.

He would rather choose to live in the apartment that Chu Qianyu liked.

He finished the wontons on the table in a few bites. When he saw that his satiety meter was full, he waved his hand casually to Chu Qianyu: "Okay, okay, I'm leaving. I'm in a hurry to level up. You and your friends can play first. Remember to pay."

Having said that, he turned and left without any intention of staying.

Only Chu Qianyu was left watching his leaving back. She took out a few copper coins from her pocket with some embarrassment and placed them on the table.

……

Bai Nian didn't want to know what happened to Xiao Fan at all.

She was very lucky now. She and several other people fell into a secret realm. It was pitch black all around and they could not see anything.

Unfortunately, when they fell, they got separated and even the chat function within the team was no longer usable.

Bai Nian tried to send a private message to Liang Chi among his friends, but the message still couldn't be sent.

The task prompt on the left only has four words, "Find teammates."

The worst thing was that Bai Nian couldn’t even see the world channel, and there was only endless darkness around him.

What kind of secret place is this?

[099, is there a bug in this system? Are you trying to trap me to death?]

[Oh, host, don't worry, it's just a secret maze. The final task is to find your teammates. ]

The veins on Bai Nian's forehead jumped. He groped slowly in the darkness, counting silently in his mind, and soon realized that this was the third time he had come to this place.

I clearly choose a different direction every time, but in the end I always end up in the same place.

If she doesn't find anything strange, she'd be a fool.

She reached out and touched the wall. The wall was uneven, just like the rocks in the mountains. She could feel a slight dampness on it, as if water was seeping through the rock wall.

I smelled it and there was a fishy smell in the water.

Then this is not spring water, but lake water, and there must be a large number of fish in it.

I quickly locked onto the target in my mind, which was the fishing spot on the map near the snow-capped mountains, Mirror Lake.

He was actually teleported to that place. Bai Nian remembered that when he entered the secret realm, he was quite a distance away from Mirror Lake.

But now that she knew where she was, she had some guesses about this secret place.

The reason why Mirror Lake is called Mirror Lake is because its water is very clear. When there is a boat on it, looking down is like looking in a mirror.

Many players have also discovered that as long as they look down, the system will automatically add an illusion buff to the character, making it impossible for the player to find their way above the lake.

Only after the buff time has passed will they find the right path.

When the first player who discovered this posted on the forum, it became quite popular and Bai Nian happened to see it.

In the secret realm under the Mirror Lake, the buff superimposed on the player must be similar to that buff.

But it certainly wouldn't be that simple, otherwise if everyone fell down and just hung up for a while, wouldn't the secret realm be broken?

The planner wouldn't be so stupid.

She closed her eyes and used her senses to identify the direction. Sure enough, she found that at a fork in the road, the angle of the fork was different every time she passed it.

The change is very subtle, but the player will not notice this subtle difference. After choosing the path they want to take, they will walk along the same path and will not feel that they are going the wrong way.

But in fact, it is completely different from the direction I want to go.

Bai Nian held onto the rock wall and could still feel that some of the sounds inside the rock wall were hollow, which meant that there must be some mechanism that had not been activated.

After walking around for a few times, I discovered that the layout of the secret realm was very clever, with eight times as a cycle, corresponding to the eight hexagrams of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui.

Bai Nian lowered his head and thought for a moment, then closed his eyes and walked towards the road representing Kan.

In the Eight Trigrams, Kan represents water. Based on the environment in this secret realm, Bai Nian was able to think of this path.

099, who had been silent for a long time in the space, suddenly spoke: [Eh? Host, it seems that the path you are taking is the right one! ]

Bai Nian paused and said, "Can you see the right path?"

099 nodded: [Of course, this is still a game after all, my data can naturally analyze the correct path. ]

Bai Nian: ...

Good fellow, it turned out that she had been doing useless work all along. The veins on her forehead jumped, and she gritted her teeth and asked: [Why didn’t you say so earlier? ]

099 blinked innocently: [Host, you didn’t ask. ]

Moreover, 099 thinks that since this is all games, there is nothing wrong with letting the host experience the fun of the game.

It would never admit it. It just wanted to see the host being trapped and helpless.

Bai Nian took a deep breath and kept repeating in his heart: Don’t hit the child, don’t hit the child…

It was too late for 099 to say this now, because Bai Nian had already found the right way. Looking at the countdown in the upper left corner, she quickened her pace and finally got out of the narrow passage.

When you walk outside, you will arrive at a huge cave. There is no rock wall above the cave, but dense vines are entwined on it. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the vines, forming mottled rays of light on the rock walls of the cave.

She saw a cursor floating in the sunlight, which should be the end point.

Sure enough, there were three roads in the distance, which should be the exits for the other three people in the team. However, no one had come out of this exit yet, so she should be the first person to come out.

In the interstellar age, many things about the ancient blue planet are no longer known. Over the long years, the ancient culture has been submerged in the torrent of time.

Bai Nian did not find any knowledge about the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams in the original owner's memory, and had never even heard of this term.

It can be said that it took a lot of effort to make this game.

[Host, won't you go help your teammates? 】

Bai Nian leaned against the rock wall and said lazily: [Why, they still can't get out? ]

099: ...

[Have you forgotten that you are the only one who knows the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, host?]

Bai Nian suddenly opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly.

No way? She thought that the fragment of the Lord God should not be unable to get out of this, right?

Although Bai Nian felt it was impossible in his heart, his body was still very honest.

She randomly chose one of the roads and walked along it.

When she reached the exit, she found a transparent barrier blocking her way.

Bai Nian spread his hands: [Look, 099, it's not that I don't work hard, it's just that the mechanism of this game doesn't allow me to help him. ]

[Host, didn't you spend a huge amount of money to raise your intimacy with Liang Chi to the highest level? Just teleport over directly. ]

099 looked at Bai Nian with an innocent face, as if he had just said it casually.

[I think the game planners you can think of should also be able to think of it...]

Bai Nian originally said this, but he still opened the friend list and found that although the private chat was black, the send button was a dazzling white.

It can actually be teleported!

So outrageous? !

099 chuckled. This was a bug it discovered when it was bored. The planner of this game probably never expected that within less than a month after the server was launched, someone had already maxed out the intimacy and unlocked the teleportation function.

Bai Nian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the transmission button in deep thought.

Could this be because 099 secretly changed the game data?

After thinking quickly, his hand had already pressed on the transmission button. In an instant, a blue light flashed, and Bai Nian disappeared on the spot.

Liang Chi had just chosen a path and was about to walk over when he saw a blue light light up, and the narrow corridor was instantly illuminated.

A black shadow fell out from the blue light. Liang Chi subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but after sensing a familiar breath, he stood still and caught the person who fell.

The blue light had not yet dissipated, and after the two people's eyes met briefly, the surroundings fell into darkness again.

"How did you come?"

In the darkness, Liang Chi could only feel the warm and soft touch on his body. In this regard, "Spirit Realm" did a good job, making him feel like he was really holding her in reality.

I don’t know if the feeling would be the same as it is now if I really hugged it in real life?

"From your tone, it seems that you are not very welcoming to me?"

Liang Chi was not good at speaking, and after hearing Bai Nian say this, he only said dryly: "No... I'm glad you came to see me, but how did you get here?"

Bai Nian then realized that she seemed to have forgotten to tell Liang Chi about this function when they met last time. She supported Liang Chi's body to stand steadily, touched her chin and analyzed calmly.

"Have you forgotten the flowers I sent you? Our intimacy is full, and I can teleport to your side directly.

I guess the planner didn’t expect someone to reach full intimacy so quickly, so he left a bug here.”

Liang Chi only then realized that there was such a mechanism. He had always only paid attention to the dungeon part of the game and rarely paid attention to the social part.

But he really likes this feature.

The tunnel was dark, and Bai Nian couldn't see the emotions in Liang Chi's eyes at all. He just held onto his clothes, afraid of getting separated from him.

After all, there are so many roads here, and if you are not careful you will end up somewhere else.

In the darkness she shook her bare arms and asked, "Do you know how to get out?"

Liang Chi pondered for a second, shook his head, and then thought that she couldn't see anything now, so he said: "I don't know, the terrain here is very complicated, but this secret place should be underwater, do you have any clues?"

Bai Nian admired Liang Chi for being so perceptive, and said with a bit of regret: "No, I went around there a few times and ended up back where I was. Then I found the teleport button and came to find you."

099 in the space was speechless, feeling that his host's ability to lie was getting better and better, it was simply unbearable to watch.

And it instinctively felt that its host didn't seem to need it now.

He simply turned off the screen on Bai Nian's side, lay down, and prepared to be a lazy person in the space.

Bai Nian just followed Liang Chi. She looked at the countdown in the upper left corner, which showed that there were still two hours left.

She also followed Liang Chi slowly, preparing to casually tell him some clues. After all, being a single man and a single woman in a pitch-black environment was perfect for fostering feelings.

She could feel that Liang Chi had special feelings for her, but there must be something he was hiding.

At the moment, it seems that he is overwhelmed by money, but she is not afraid. The most thing she has in this world is money. At worst, she can support him when they meet in real life!

Just when they came to a fork in the road, Bai Nian's thoughts were pulled back. A faint light shone on Liang Chi's hand, and she realized that he was holding a bag of fireflies.

With the light, the expression on Bai Nian's face was clearly revealed. She looked at Liang Chi with a questioning look on her face.

Liang Chi pursed his lips tightly and explained, "I helped the NPC catch it when I was doing a mission before, and it just came in handy."

Bai Nian chuckled and joked: "Catching fireflies, it's a bit childish for children, but for us, it's just right and quite romantic."

Her fingertips lightly tickled Liang Chi's palm, causing a tingling sensation, but Liang Chi ultimately couldn't bear to let go and held Bai Nian's hand even tighter.
