The Ninth World of Holographic Online Games

A dream of rivers and lakes.

Dreaming of the rivers and lakes, drunk at ease, looking at the long river, drinking the knife and returning.

This is the opening song of the holographic online game "A Dream of Rivers and Lakes".In the promotional video, a scruffy bearded swordsman, dressed in gray clothes, rides on a skinny horse, walking far away towards the sunset beyond the sky.

The back of that nameless swordsman is indescribably desolate, but it also faintly gives people a glimpse of his blood when he was drinking horses and indulging in love.

The young are wild, the old are lamenting, and finally go.

Qi Ye was attracted by this promotional video. At that time, he was standing at the crossroads, looking at the holographic screen hanging in mid-air.For some reason, this lonely figure suddenly grabbed all of his attention, even ignoring the girlfriend who was dating beside him.

The somewhat hunched back of the swordsman inexplicably aroused his passion.Qi Ye watched the promotional video playing, but his thoughts drifted away unknowingly.Afterwards, the scenes of fighting with iron horses and wantonly going on in the rivers and lakes could not bring him back to his senses.

Qi Ye's thoughts have been lingering on the back of the one who left in depression.The helplessness and sadness seemed to be revealed through the bent spine.Maybe the swordsman became famous when he was young, and he was happy all his life, but in the end he inevitably walked the lonely road of retiring and returning home.

if it was me...if it was me...

He clenched his fists, thinking.If it was me, I would definitely not leave so willingly. Even if it is a temporary retreat, I will come back gracefully one day.

"Is the promotional video good?"

"It looks good..." Qi Ye replied in a daze, immersed in his own thoughts.

The pleasant voice next to him asked again. "Then do you want to play?"

"miss you!"

"Holographic online games are time-consuming, what about work and dating?" the owner of the voice seemed to be quite concerned.

Qi Ye thought for a while and answered without turning his head.

"Play the game first, leave the rest to him!"

"Slap!" The one who greeted him was a slap that also did not hesitate.The fiery tingling on the side of his cheek finally brought Qi Ye back to his senses, and this man remembered that he was on the way to a date with his girlfriend.

"Xiaoyue." Touching his reddened right cheek, Qi Ye suddenly said when he saw his girlfriend glaring at her. "I said it casually, no matter what, I won't ignore you."

The girl sneered, "Qi Ye, how many times do you think this is the first time! Every time you play the game, you put me aside, ten cows can't pull you back!"

Qi Ye was silent, he couldn't figure it out, and he and Xiaoyue also met in a previous game.At that time, the two had similar interests, and soon developed from the game to reality.But why is the girl who was willing to play games with him before, now angry because of him playing games?

Xiaoyue looked at his faintly swollen right cheek, and seemed to have a little bit of unbearable.asked with a sigh. "Qi Ye, we are not young anymore, we can't always be immersed in these virtual things. You too, have not had a stable job until now, so what will you do in the future? Promise me, stop playing games, okay? good?"

Qi Ye remained silent and did not make a sound.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't get the expected answer.The girl's eyes changed from expectation to disappointment, and she finally glanced at the silent Qi Ye, as if she finally saw something clearly.

"Let's break up." After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

Among the crowd, Qi Ye was left standing alone.

Touching the corner of his mouth, with a wry smile, Qi Ye turned and left in another direction.

His back also has a trace of depression and loneliness.

On the third day after breaking up with Xiaoyue, Qi Ye took the chip of "One Dream Jianghu" home and replaced the old chip in the game cabin.

The original game is actually not outdated, and it is also very popular, and Qi Ye is doing well in it.But for him who is determined to change the game, no matter how good it is, it is a thing of the past.Determined to bet on "One Dream Jianghu" wholeheartedly, Qi Ye will not be distracted by other games.

He was never bothered by the past.

This kind of character, in reality, is that in just three days, Qi Ye has already downplayed the pain of breaking up.

If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come.Comforting himself like this, he happily deleted all of Xiaoyue's contact information.

Qi Ye himself called it an emotional self-protection measure, but some people laughed and said that he was cold and ruthless.

"Aye, you seem easy to get along with, but few people can walk into your heart."

The one who said Qi Ye was Xiao Huasheng, a good friend who grew up together since the crotch-opening period.He also plays "A Dream of Rivers and Lakes", and the reserved ID is Haomengwuhua.

As Qi Ye's senior best friend and game partner, Xiao Huasheng can be said to have figured out his character.

Seemingly friendly and honest, but actually cold-hearted.

Looking at the time, there are still 5 minutes before the start of the public beta.Qi Ye sorted out his thoughts, made all preparations, and lay down in the game cabin.

At the moment when the game cabin door closed, the back, the leaving figure of the lonely swordsman flashed in front of his eyes again.

Qi Ye squinted his eyes, he thought, the game might be different this time.

As for what is different, it is impossible to say.

Dreaming of the rivers and lakes, drunk at ease, looking at the long river, drinking the knife and returning.
