    Chapter 22 Chapter 22 “Teacher Xia, are you…

    “Teacher Xia, what are you doing?”The teacher at the next station smiled and joked, “I see you’ve been restless all day.”

    Xia Yun came back to his senses and smiled sheepishly: “I was thinking about the students in the class.”

    “Who?”

    “Yu Ying.”

    “That half-blood, what happened to him?”

    “I visited his home yesterday and the atmosphere in his home was very strange. I didn’t even see his parents in person, and I always felt that I didn’t pay much attention to this child.”Xia Yun rubbed his temples, feeling a headache, “Also, he obviously has a bad foundation. School has only been open for a long time, and his parents asked for a long leave. I didn’t see him studying in the past yesterday. What should I do in the future?”

    “Damn it, Teacher Xia doesn’t need to be so responsible. Everyone has his or her own destiny. It’s hard for us to take care of things in the school. If parents don’t cooperate, why should we worry about this?”The teacher next door comforted him, “Besides, I heard that his family is quite rich, and no matter how hard he lives, he is still better than cows and horses like you and me.”

    “Too.”Xia Yun forced a smile and agreed, but he still felt uneasy.

    ·

    The storm raged in Kukai for a long time, easily disintegrating the players’ alliance.

    Yu Ying was blown to a completely unfamiliar place.

    Different from the previously clear skies at high altitudes, here there are dense clouds, the sky is dark, and the visibility is extremely low. It is clearly in the sky, but it makes people feel like they are in the underworld.

    Yu Ying was frightened and carefully observed the surrounding scene, feeling desperate more than once.

    There were fish with sharp teeth swimming through the dark clouds, and they almost bumped into Yu Ying several times.

    It’s over.

    Yu Ying did not dare to move and hid himself in the clouds, praying for a miracle in his heart.

    He had just entered the game and was unarmed. It was difficult for him to survive on his own, but there was not even a soul around him.

    Yu Ying gently moved his hands and feet. Dense scales appeared on his body, and his hands and feet had turned into fins. It would not be long before he would completely turn into a fish.

    How could this happen…

    Is there any other way? Yu Ying was irritated and tried desperately to recall the information he had heard from the players before.

    All players mentioned one person – customer service.

    In the eyes of players, this mysterious customer service seems to be omnipotent. He has guided players out of desperate situations many times in crisis and has become their spiritual support.

    Sounds very nice.

    But there is no such thing as a free lunch. Yu Ying does not believe that customer service will help for no reason, and players will have to pay some price.

    Except for his life, Yu Ying had nothing. How could the customer service who was so praised by the players see such an ant like him?

    Terrible.

    Exercise can delay degeneration, but there are too many eyeing fish around, so Yu Ying dare not act rashly and can only watch as he gradually transforms into a fish.

    A palm-sized ornamental fish dived into the clouds and swam right in front of Yu Ying. The tail of the fish hit his face, causing a stinging pain.

    The pain was dizzy and spread to the depths of his mind in an instant.

    Yu Ying’s hair stood on end. He had never thought that he would have to worry about being eaten up by a fish.

    No matter what, he had to try to contact customer service anyway. He opened the game panel cautiously.

    It is said that the dark dungeon is very special. Players cannot send messages to customer service before customer service actively contacts the player.

    Previously, the customer service contacted many players at once, and luckily, Yu Ying was among them, so he was qualified to talk to the customer service.

    But the question is, what should he say… Yu Ying has never been so troubled.

    ·

    “If I were DJ, would you love me~ Would you love me~”

    Zhang Yu shook his head and continued singing the exciting ditty he learned when passing by a hair salon.

    For some reason, the players all became quiet again, and there was no news for a while.

    Zhang Yu couldn’t help but sigh, this job is really good, and he has enough time to fish at work.

    I really want to be a time management master and use my fishing time to study.

    Zhang Yu looked around like a thief. The ghost painter was not there, but he would suddenly appear again if not guaranteed. Every time this person appeared, he made no sound.

    After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yu decided to stand still. If he was caught, wouldn’t the ghost painter know that he was an illiterate who was studying Chinese in primary school by himself?

    No, no, he would never allow this to happen.

    The tail must be well hidden.

    In desperation, Zhang Yu could only hold back his itching and continue to pretend to work, typing on the keyboard, looking through historical records, and creating a false sense of busyness.

    After installing it for a while, the taskbar finally had a new red dot.

    [Player: It’s so dark here, I’m so scared.】

    Zhang Yu glanced at the keyboard icon.

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: Dear, I’m here.】

    [Customer Service Xiao Zhang: Press F2 to increase the screen brightness [Rose]]

    [Player: I am a newbie, I will probably die, but I don’t know how I will die yet. If possible, I hope I can leave a last word, I don’t know if it is possible.】

    [Player: I have lived for more than ten years and achieved nothing. I have not had time to repay the kindness of my adoptive parents. I can only repay it in my next life.】

    So committed?Zhang Yu frowned.

    After working so many days, Zhang Yu probably knows that the games produced by the company are quite exciting, a bit like a battle royale, and players have to find ways to survive in the dungeon.

    In such an intense game, “death” is the norm, but this kind of death is just data in the game, not a real death.

    Players also often use “I’m going to die” and “Help” as punctuation marks, and Zhang Yu is no longer surprised.

    But why does this player still have a last word?

    A bit scary.

    It’s not like he’s too addicted to games and can’t tell the difference between reality and reality.

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: Dear, the game is just a game, you won’t die [blowing kiss]]

    [Player: Yes, I am just a newcomer. I am alone without props. I will either be eaten by a fish, or I will turn into a fish myself, and I will not be able to escape.】

    [Customer Service Xiao Zhang: Wouldn’t it be eaten if you cooked it as fish? Or it might turn into fish and be eaten again. Boiled fish, pickled cabbage fish, paper-wrapped fish.】

    [Player:?】

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: Dear, I’m sorry, I was just joking to lighten the mood [Rose]]

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: What I mean is that you really won’t die. Trust me and relax.】

    [Player: What should I do?】

    [Customer Service Xiao Zhang: Make a nest and catch them all.】

    [Player: Me, me?But I’m different from other players. I don’t even have props, so I’m just a waste.】

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: The world is undecided, you and I are both dark horses!Come on!You can do it [thumbs up]]

    Game design is always done by people, and people’s imagination cannot be divorced from reality.

    Therefore, the weird fishing rules in reality should be more or less applicable in the game.

    It’s better to change the soup than the medicine.

    When Zhang Yu was watching funny videos, he often came across jokes about fishing men. He was familiar with words such as making nests, pumping water, and air force.

    Now it’s time to “do it”.

    ·

    Yu Ying slapped his head hard with his hands that looked like fish fins.

    He successfully contacted customer service and received “guidance”, but the customer service’s speaking style was completely different from what he expected.

    Seeing the players’ praise before, Yu Ying thought that the customer service was a kind of omniscient existence, but after actually talking to him, he realized that this was not the case.

    The customer service was very inconsistent. Not only did they give very vain suggestions, but they also gave me chicken soup out of nowhere, claiming they were both good and bad, as if they were not on the same channel.

    How could this be?

    Yu Ying felt so uncomfortable that he almost suffocated. He pinned all his hopes on the customer service, but this is what he got in exchange?

    Catch them all?It’s so funny, he doesn’t even have a net, so he can’t fight.

    It’s a shame that he still worked so hard and sold so hard.

    Damn it.

    Customer service be damned.

    Yu Liangshan, who dragged himself in, deserves to die even more.

    Yu Ying bit his lip and forced himself to calm down. He knew that others were always unreliable and he had to find a way on his own…

    “Hiss!”

    Suddenly there was a sharp pain in his leg. Yu Ying turned around and saw a small fish touching him at some point and biting into his flesh.

    Fortunately, it’s just a small fish.

    Yu Ying endured the pain and pulled the small fish off, then angrily tore it into two pieces.

    After the fish was disemboweled, the fish intestines in the fish’s stomach leaked out into his hands.

    Yu Ying had a look of disgust on his face. He was about to throw away the dead fish when his eyes casually glanced at it and his hand movements suddenly stopped.

    This fish intestine is quite long.

    Making a fishing net requires string, but he doesn’t have any, but if it must be said, fish intestines don’t seem to be unusable.

    Yu Ying no longer cared about whether it was dirty or not. He tried to pull out the fish intestines and found that the fish intestines were quite tough and kept pulling. If you collect more, you can make a fishing net.

    “!!!”

    Hope rekindled in Yu Ying’s heart, his heartbeat was beating fast and his blood was surging.

    So what if he doesn’t have any props? He can still give it a try by using local materials…

    What the customer service said was not just random talk, it was really feasible!

    A chill ran down Yu Ying’s spine, and he felt like his heart was beating with fear. Could it be that the customer service had already expected this and gave such advice.

    What kind of existence is this customer service person?

    ·

    The ghost painter was sitting alone in the tea room.

    He spread a piece of rice paper on the coffee table and started drawing.

    The painting shows a person dozing off at his workstation, with his hands folded in his arms. He is still trying to open his eyes because he is so sleepy. Every stroke of his hand perfectly outlines the romance of the person in the painting.

    A white butterfly fluttered around the ghost painter, but he ignored it and focused on the painting.

    He didn’t lift the brush until he finished the last stroke, allowing the butterfly to land on the penholder.

    “The ghost painter is really leisurely and fun.”A contemptuous voice came from the butterfly.

    The ghost painter didn’t answer.

    “The customer service person who came this time really had two brushes, and he was able to recognize that I was not you.”

    “He’s very smart.”

    “It’s also a variable for the game.”

    The ghost painter’s eyes turned cold, as if he would reach out and crush the butterfly to death at any moment: “Don’t try to trick him.”

    “It’s so strange, why, is it really a treasure?Don’t make me laugh, you ghost painter still have humanity?”

    “It has nothing to do with you.”

    “Don’t worry, I won’t touch him, I’d love it.The voice in Butterfly laughed a few times strangely, “You know, what I fear most is unchangedness and boredom. I look forward to him making the game more interesting.””

    “Is it fun to calculate players in the dark copy?”

    “It’s a casual matter, I mainly want to get to know the customer service.”

    The ghost painter sneered.

    To put it lightly, it actually hides a lot of evil thoughts – if Zhang Yu doesn’t react, he will inadvertently kill the player, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to him.

    Butterfly’s voice sounded again, and he said nonchalantly: “He is really interesting, and I look forward to seeing him one day.”

    “Go away.”The ghost painter lost his last trace of patience, and with a glance from the corner of his eye, the butterfly turned into powder on the spot.

    The author has something to say:
