Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

After eating the home-cooked dishes full of MapleStory characteristics carefully prepared by the merchant Lao Tuan, Wu Ming, Ah Hao and Da Chun sat together and began to discuss the relevant matters of night duty enthusiastically.

At this time, the businessman Lao Tuan had quickly finished his meal and had cleared the tableware swiftly.

He was obviously very familiar with this kind of process. He walked straight to his tent without hesitation, and then walked to the side near the corner skillfully as usual.

The businessman Lao Tuan neither washed nor changed his clothes. Instead, he lay straight on the mattress in the tent, then gently closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Boss, just go and get some rest! Dachun and I are both college students, and staying up late is a common occurrence for us! So just leave the night watch to us two!"

At this time, Ah Hao patted his thick chest hard, his face full of confidence, and said to Wu Ming with a smile.

When Wu Ming heard what Ah Hao said, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Da Chun who was standing beside him. When Da Chun's eyes met Wu Ming's, he just nodded and smiled slightly, indicating that he agreed with Ah Hao's statement.

"That's right, Boss! You should go and rest! With Ah Hao and I here to watch over you, nothing will go wrong. Besides, it's still early and we're both very energetic. We have no desire to sleep at all!"

And it's a good opportunity for Ah Hao and I to practice the Hongwu Xinfa taught in school! Maybe after this night of training, our strength will be even better! "

Seeing that Wu Ming seemed to be still hesitant and stood there without moving to rest, Da Chun hurriedly spoke again, and winked at Wu Ming with a confident look.

"Alright! As soon as you two get to the night, this college student-specific passive skill will automatically trigger! Hahahaha, if that's the case, then make good use of this time to practice night watch!

You must be extremely alert and pay close attention to any disturbances around you! Remember, don't miss even the slightest abnormality.

How about this! You two will keep watch together first, and I'll take over in the second half of the night. After all, we're all just ordinary people. Even though we might not feel physically tired in this MapleStory world, mental fatigue is more likely to cause problems!

Besides... tomorrow we'll have to rely on you to continue killing monsters, clearing the way for the truck, and escorting it!"

This time, after Wu Ming finished speaking, he ran towards a secluded corner of the tent without hesitation.

Wu Ming quickly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and pretended to be resting.

It looked like he was resting, but in reality, Wu Ming was more than that. While hiding in the shadows at the corner of the tent, he quietly used his flying skill, the clone technique.

With a flash of light, a black figure exactly like him suddenly appeared before his eyes, hidden by the night and shadows.

Wu Ming then issued detailed instructions to the shadow clone, instructing it to patrol a five-mile radius centered on the tent. If it detected any unexpected situations or potentially threatening monsters, it was to kill them immediately without hesitation.

Fortunately, the shadow clone summoned by this shadow clone skill has no time limit. As long as it is not hit by a fatal blow from the enemy, it can always hold its position.

It must be said that for the mission of keeping watch, this clone technique is simply the most ideal skill choice. Wu Ming did not tell Dachun and the others, just to make them always maintain the necessary vigilance.

Wu Ming has been observing Dachun and Ah Hao carefully for a while now, and perhaps because of his chosen profession, he has discovered that Ah Hao is very sensitive to things around him, but he just doesn't care.

On the contrary, Dachun, who is a warrior, sometimes seems unable to feel some subtle changes around him, so he secretly released the shadow clone without telling them the reason.

Only after completing all the preparations did Wu Ming finally feel relieved. He slowly closed his eyes and silently recited the Xuanshan School's mental formula in his heart.

During the day, Wu Ming took out the Xuanshan School's mental method that Ah Hao and the others had memorized and recited it whenever he had time. Now he has memorized it by heart.

However, at this moment, it is far from enough to just memorize it. What is more important is to analyze and understand every word and sentence in depth.

Wu Ming knew that this kind of understanding was difficult to develop, but he wasn't afraid of making mistakes. Whenever he misunderstood something, an indescribable discomfort would immediately rise from deep within his brain, as if a mysterious force was pulling him forward on the right path.

This wonderful feeling made Wu Ming firmly believe that as long as he persevered and experienced it with his heart, he would eventually be able to understand the essence of this mental method.

"Ha! Hoo! Ha!"

Just as Wu Ming was silently reciting the formula and trying to sort out the mental method in his mind according to his own understanding, a strange sound came from near the night watch campfire.

"That's not right. I remember when I was in school, that teacher Mo taught this move in a different way! In my opinion, this hand should be raised higher, and this leg needs to be spread wider..."

The person who spoke was Ah Hao. After he finished speaking, he practiced martial arts again, but when he actually adjusted the movements, he felt a little awkward.

"Oh, this still isn't right! Wouldn't it be like pulling the strings if we did this? It doesn't make any sense at all! No, let's think about it again. I feel like there should be another key move before we can do this..."

In this way, Ah Hao and Da Chun pondered over and over again, constantly correcting their understanding and practice methods, and immersed themselves wholeheartedly in the exploration of the Xuanshan School's Hongwu martial arts.

"It's really too difficult! It's a shame that the cell phone videos from Blue Planet can't be brought to the MapleStory world. It would be so great if we could! That way we wouldn't have to memorize them like we do now!"

And at night, not only can I play all kinds of games to my heart's content, I can also download hundreds of thousands of terabytes of exciting videos and then enjoy them comfortably and slowly! I don't mind staying up all night for a month straight like this! "

Dachun and Ah Hao were surrounded by the darkness, illuminated by the blazing bonfire.

The two of them were practicing the martial arts routines taught in school without stopping, and their mouths were not idle either. They chatted all the way and tried hard to remember the specific movements of each move.

"Brother Dachun, do you think we might be practicing this incorrectly? I remember when I was learning this martial art from Teacher Mo at school last time, every time I completed a full set, my body would feel a sense of fluidity.

But we've practiced so many times now, and while we're sweaty, it's true. But other than that, why do we always feel like something's not right with our bodies?

Perhaps it’s because Ah Hao himself comes from the assassin profession, so his sensitivity to his own situation is obviously higher than that of people in other professions.

Just after practicing for more than ten times in a row, Ah Hao could no longer suppress his inner doubts and directly expressed his true feelings to Dachun.

After hearing Ah Hao's words, Da Chun felt as if he had been cast under a spell, his previously smooth practice movements coming to an abrupt halt. He slowly lowered his hands, frowning slightly, and fell into deep thought.

Even though Dachun, a warrior, was not very sensitive to things, he knew Ah Hao's deepest feelings after practicing more than ten times.

After all, the two of them had practiced together for so long that they already had a tacit understanding. Now that Ah Hao had spoken so frankly about his thoughts, it meant that there must be some unknown problems with the martial arts they practiced.

Of course, it can't be a memory problem. If it is a memory problem, then the Xuanshan School's mental method that was memorized to Wu Mingmo cannot be completely correct. It can only be said that this is why the feeling of practicing this set of martial arts in Blue Star and in the MapleStory world is so different!

Of course, it could also be because the 'main character' is not here? Unfortunately, it's just a thought. It's impossible to blame others just because there are problems with your own practice!

However, whether it’s because I have a teacher at school or… Anyway, the practice is just weird now.

"Should we continue practicing?"

After thinking hard for a long time but still unable to figure out what the problem was, Dachun had no choice but to turn to Ah Hao and ask.

At this moment, the entire camp seemed extremely quiet, with only the deafening snoring of the merchant Lao Tuan coming from time to time, breaking the tranquility.

In addition, there is the crackling sound of the burning bonfire, which is like a unique symphony in the night.

In the light of the bonfire, Dachun and Ah Hao stood facing each other, their four gazes meeting like two lightning bolts colliding in the air.

They all stared at each other silently, no one spoke, but just quietly thought about how to solve the difficult problem before them.

As time passed, the air around seemed to freeze, only the blazing bonfire was still dancing and jumping tirelessly.
