    Chapter 19 Chapter 19 “I’m not like you…

    “I don’t have a son like you, get out of here!”

    “Get out!Get away!Waste!I raised you so big in vain, are you worthy of our efforts?”

    “Don’t let me see you again, you useless piece of trash, I’ll beat you every time I see you!”

    Several people with blurry faces were yelling and scolding, and they picked up whatever they could and threw them at the man outside the door.

    The tall man did not dodge and simply let others smash him. An ashtray hit his forehead, causing his face to bleed in an instant.

    Even so, the people in the house didn’t stop. After hitting nothing, they slammed the door.

    Through the door, the man could still hear the curses inside.

    He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood that flowed into his eyes. Such a big fight made it seem like he had done something treasonous.

    In fact, it was just a loss of the game.

    No matter how important the game is, it is still a game in the final analysis.

    …But to these so-called family members, a son who lost the game and had no career future was already a family shame.

    They have been struggling feebly in the shadow of poverty for most of their lives. They were moved when they saw the story of a poor boy who relied on boxing to make a comeback. They put all their efforts into their son and tried to train a professional boxer.

    Day after day, their investment and expectations accumulate like a compound profit, and they can no longer accept anyone outside the world.

    “In this case, I won’t come back again.”The man said calmly.

    This sentence is much simpler than imagined.

    He took one last look at the dilapidated home, turned around and left without hesitation.

    Black Spider opened his eyes, and what he saw was a fish jumping on his face.

    It looks like a bass.

    “Did you sleep well?”Anna Ding asked quietly.

    “I’m sorry…” Black Spider shook off the fish that was sitting on his face, “I fell asleep for some reason, how is the situation now?”

    “The good news is that another group of survivors has been found, and now everyone is studying the will of customer service.The bad news is that the kill line has been raised very high this time, and the number of people who have fallen into the dark dungeon is far greater than you and I imagined. It is almost like clearing out expired inventory.”

    “How many?”

    “It’s hard to say, but we estimate that at least half of the players have been killed.”

    “So many!”Black Spider was stunned. He had been in the game for two years, and this was the first time he encountered this situation.

    Anna Ding lowered her voice and motioned Black Spider to look around: “These are players who suddenly fell in like us.”

    They were currently in a place with dense clouds, and every cloud was crowded with embarrassed players. Everyone had degenerated into the characteristics of fish, and some of them even had little human flesh left.

    “It’s fatal.”Black Spider raised his hand and touched his neck. There was something hard in his flesh, like a growing fish gill.

    How strange.

    Anna Ding spread her hands, her palms almost turned into fish fins, and her forearms were covered with scales.

    “Other players have tried pulling out scales and digging out gills, but it has no effect and cannot stop the degeneration.”

    The two fell into silent agreement.

    Although the customer service told them to eat properly and exercise more, they were at an altitude of 10,000 meters with little clouds under their feet, so they really couldn’t do it.

    As for food, there is no trace at all.

    There was still a breeze in the sky, and the clouds swayed gently with the wind, constantly changing their formations.

    After floating for a while, a small cloud was blown near them.

    There was only a huddled figure on the cloud, carefully hiding itself in the cloud. His face was pale, and his green eyes looked at everything around him in horror.

    “He’s a new guy.Black Spider was sure that he had never seen this face before, “It’s really unlucky that Tianbeng started, and he fell into this damn place just after entering the game.””

    Anna Ding did not answer, frowning and staring at the newcomer on the cloud.

    “What?asked Black Spider.

    “Although…I seem to know him.”Anna Ding hesitated.

    “?”

    “I met a transfer student from our school once in the corridor, so I don’t count him as acquaintance, but he looks like this, and anyone else would be impressed by him, so I should be right.”

    “Ah, indeed.” Black Spider agreed and glanced at the other party’s striking appearance, “Mixed blood, I guess.”

    “Probably, I heard his name is Yu Ying, and he used to be abroad.”Anna Ding sighed, with a little sympathy flashing between her eyebrows.

    Black Spider saw Anna Ding’s hesitation: “Since we met him by fate, we can call him over to join us.”

    “But he’s just a new guy.”

    Newcomers with no props and experience would be a laggard in ordinary dungeons, let alone in dark dungeons.

    “They are all newcomers. I almost died when I first entered the game, but luckily Tong Wei helped me.Black Spider didn’t take it seriously, “Besides, in our current situation, one more person is not more, one less person is not more, it doesn’t matter.””

    ·

    Zhang Yu woke up from his sleep.

    Was woken up.

    In the middle of the night, I don’t know who stayed up and was rummaging through boxes and cabinets outside, making such a big noise.

    Zhang Yu turned over and closed his eyes, but the sounds outside were still endless.

    “Ahhhhhhh!”Zhang Yu suddenly sat up from the bed. He has to go to work tomorrow. How can he go to work if he doesn’t recharge his batteries?

    Angry, Zhang Yu rushed out of the room angrily and found the source of the noise in the kitchen – it was Tong Guoqiang.

    The old man stayed up all night and was cooking in the kitchen.

    Zhang Yu glanced at the time with some self-doubt. It was past three in the morning, which was not the time to start cooking anyway.

    “What are you doing?”Zhang Yu asked.

    Tong Guoqiang said nothing, his eyes were dull, and he was working like a robot, completely ignoring Zhang Yu.

    “Stop.”Zhang Yu grabbed Tong Guoqiang and pointed to the dishes that were already out of the pot. “Do you know what time it is? You’re hungry so late and you can forget about cooking noodles. Why do you need so many dishes?”

    Tong Guoqiang’s eyes were straight and he said in a daze: “I’m going to see my son. He must be hungry. He hasn’t eaten the food I cooked for a long time…”

    Zhang Yu was shocked: “Has your son been found?”

    Tong Guoqiang answered the question: “I can see him soon.”

    Zhang Yu: “…”

    I’m afraid this old man is sleepwalking.

    Since he was sleepwalking, there was nothing he could do, so Zhang Yu suppressed his anger.

    I heard that you can’t wake up a sleepwalker, otherwise he will be frightened to death. Zhang Yu thought of the weird rules he heard from somewhere.

    “Okay, okay, but if you copy so many vegetables, they are both oily and sugary, and your son will be a mess at least if he eats them.”Zhang Yu coaxed along with the old man’s dream, “It’s not enough, I will take you to see your son first.”

    “real?”

    “Of course.”Zhang Yu looked away, turned off the stove and lights, and sent the old man back to his room, gesticulating and directing: “Go in, lie down on the bed, have a good sleep, and refresh yourself before you can see your son.”

    Tong Guoqiang was dumb and obeyed Zhang Yu’s arrangement.

    Zhang Yu watched the old man go to bed before closing the door and leaving.

    When he woke up early the next day, Zhang Yu obviously felt that he didn’t have enough energy, which was undoubtedly the reason why he didn’t sleep well last night.

    Alas.

    Even if I don’t get enough sleep, I still have to go to work. It’s really hard to be a social worker.

    Zhang Yu washed up listlessly. Just after washing his face, he turned around and found Tong Guoqiang standing behind him, looking at him sinisterly.

    “What are you doing?”Zhang Yu was so frightened that he suddenly became energetic, “Let me tell you first, you messed up the kitchen by yourself while sleepwalking last night, don’t leave it to me.”

    “I know.”Tong Guoqiang frowned.

    “Then why do you look like this?”

    “It was strange last night…” Tong Guoqiang looked puzzled, “I always felt like I almost went to another world.”

    Zhang Yu quickly clarified the relationship: “I don’t know, it’s none of my business, maybe it’s just like this because of age.”

    Tong Guoqiang: “…Forget it.”

    Zhang Yu was afraid of being cheated by the old man, so he picked up his schoolbag and went out without stopping.

    When I arrived at the company, there was still no one in the office.

    Zhang Yu, who was as slow as Zhang Yu, also felt that something was wrong, and he was wondering whether the company might run away.

    He hasn’t received his salary yet!

    “You mean you saw a butterfly at home, and then the butterfly suddenly turned into a letter, and you read the letter and then came to the game?”

    Yu Ying shivered, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and nodded with lingering fear: “I swear what I said is true.”

    “It’s not that I don’t believe you,” Anna Ding pressed her temples, “I’m just shocked that the props in the game can actually come into reality.”

    Black Spider said: “Maybe it’s the props that leaked from the joker. The props in his hands are quite evil.”

    “It’s not impossible,” Anna Ding quickly guessed, “The player bought props from the joker and wrote a letter to ask for help from his parents, but the letter was caught by Yu Ying by mistake… It’s hard to say how effective the props in the game are in reality. Now, the call for help failed, but he was dragged in with his back.”

    “joker?”Yu Ying was confused.

    “A pervert who likes to muddy the waters,” Anna Ding said casually, “We can’t run into him, so don’t worry.”

    “Oh…” Yu Ying nodded submissively, for fear of being disgusted and abandoned.

    “Okay,” Anna Ding tried her best to move her body, “I have introduced the situation to you. If you want to survive, you have to think about one thing – how to eat and how to exercise.”

    Yu Ying didn’t dare to move and grabbed the cloud helplessly: “If it falls…”

    “Then die, even if your body is broken into pieces, it is considered a decent death.Anna Ding said coldly, “But if you don’t move, you will turn into a fish sooner or later.””

    Yu Ying was in a dilemma and looked hesitant.

    “Speak up if you have something to say.”

    “This customer service you are talking about…” Yu Ying said awkwardly, “Is he really trustworthy?”

    As soon as the words came out, Yu Ying felt that the atmosphere was obviously stiff. He looked up and around blankly, and saw everyone around him staring at him with a biting cold gaze.

    “Huh?”Yu Ying was startled, “Did I say something wrong?”

    Black Spider pulled the panicked person to prevent Yu Ying from falling into the clouds and stabilized the person before he said without doubt: “Without customer service, we would have died in the dungeon long ago. Since you have come to the game, you must adapt to everything here immediately. Don’t say such things in the future.”

    “Sorry sorry.”Yu Ying bowed his head and admitted his mistake smoothly.

    The author has something to say:
