Game of the World Tree - Chapter 968

968. Chapter 960: The Path to Transcendence (VIII): Time Flies
flies. The characters in the game will really affect each other’s impression after getting along for a long time.
Tony always thought that the image of his president would be a cute girl with a baby face, who looked very young, but he didn’t expect to see a goddess-level lady with pretty face and elegant temperament.
“It’s been nine years… I still remember clearly that I was shocked when I first saw you. I didn’t expect that the president of the Cute Committee was a junior high school student… Now, he is taller than Rongrong.”
Meng Zhihan sighed.
Then, Rongrong, who suddenly turned black, poked her elbow hard.
“Ouch! Why are you poking me?”
Meng Zhihan was dissatisfied.
“Who told you to raise your height again?”
Rongrong said angrily.
“Huh? Don’t you always care? If I remember correctly, your husband likes it the most…”
Meng Zhihan acted surprised, and Rongrong stood on tiptoe and covered her mouth.
The latter’s face was already red to her ears.
The little salty cat on the side was very happy:
“Sister Hanhan, Sister Zhuzhu, you two have a really good relationship!”
“Go, who has a good relationship with this guy.”
Zhuzhu pouted.
But her eyes were full of smiles.
Tony, on the other hand, stood in front of the few people and didn’t know what to say.
However, perhaps because of their age, Zhuzhu and Meng Zhihan just joked for a few sentences and ended it.
Their eyes quickly focused on Tony.
“Mr. Tony, do you work in China?”
“Mr. Tony, what do you do?”
“Mr. Tony, you look much more mature and stable than in the game. Can I ask your age?”
“Mr. Tony, are you married?”
“Mr. Tony, do you like the goddess doll given away in this event?”
“…”
Tony was confused by their series of questions.
I always feel that players from China are more direct than expected, to the point that if some questions were asked by other people, he would even feel a little offended.
However, this is China, and everyone is also a Chinese player. After spending a long time with these foreign players, Tony has more or less gotten used to their way of speaking.
He knows that this is just a way for everyone to show their enthusiasm.
So, he also smiled and answered everyone’s curiosity:
“Yes, I have been working in the capital for the past few years.”
“I am engaged in the Internet industry, or more accurately, in the deep self-performance and evolution of virtual networks.”
“Unlike you, I am already a 40-year-old uncle.”
“Marry? Um… Actually, I am a non-marriageist. I have a girlfriend, uh… Maybe I should say ex-girlfriend now?”
“Goddess doll? I like it very much! If possible, I would like to have a few more to give to my daughter…”
“She is already five years old, and my mother is helping to take care of her.”
Tony walked and talked with a few people, and gradually learned some information about his own president.
Xiao Xian Miao’s real name is Chen Guoguo. She is 23 years old and is a freshman at Jinghua University. She is also a junior of Rong Rong. She is
also a top student…
“I was just lucky. If Sister Gugu hadn’t tutored me in the game, I wouldn’t have been admitted to Jinghua and would have chosen to go abroad directly. You know, my family didn’t think of letting me take the college entrance examination. I insisted on taking it myself.”
Xiao Xian Miao said.
“Sister Gugu… I haven’t contacted her for a long time. How is she now? Is she still in the Tianchao Science Research Institute?”
Meng Zhihan asked.
Xiao Xian Miao sighed:
“She is very busy. She couldn’t come this time. I heard that she is being evaluated as a senior researcher.”
“Awesome… I haven’t even been promoted to associate professor yet, and she is about to be promoted to senior professor.”
Rong Rong couldn’t help but swear, with envy on her face.
“You are a top student, and she is a god of learning.”
Meng Zhihan said.
Gugu bird? Professor?
Tony was stunned.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the players in “Elf Kingdom” were really full of talents…
Tony didn’t chat with them for too long.
After taking the elevator to the floor where his room was, he said goodbye to them.
Entering his hotel room, he collapsed on the soft bed and relaxed.
Tianchen Hotel is indeed a well-known five-star hotel with a good environment. Even among the hotels of the same grade that Tony had stayed in before, it is excellent.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the room have a good view. You can see the beautiful European garden outside the hotel. Occasionally, you can see squirrels running across the lawn. There seems to be a deer in the distance, and several travelers are feeding it.
There are no activities tonight. It is said that some old players with good personal relationships will get together for a small gathering.
It’s just that Tony is unfamiliar with the place and doesn’t have such a good old friend.
He plans to have a good rest. He
has been sleeping in the game instead of sleeping in reality for many years. He hasn’t really slept a natural sleep for a long time.
This night, he didn’t log in to the game.
The next morning, Tony was woken up by a wake-up call. He checked the time and found that he had slept soundly and it was almost eight o’clock.
He stretched, got up, washed up, and went downstairs to the buffet restaurant for breakfast.
The restaurant was large and crowded. It was reserved for the past few days, and it was estimated that most of them were players of “Elf Kingdom”.
Tony also saw Rong Rong and others. They were sitting together with several female players, talking and laughing. They greeted Tony after seeing him.
Tony hesitated for a moment and did not go over to sit with them. He just responded with a smile.
One reason was that there were only girls over there, and the other reason was that the table was full.
He found an empty seat and sat down.
In addition to Tony, there seemed to be quite a few non-Chinese players in the restaurant.
However, most of them were in groups of three or five. Tony guessed that they were here to attend the offline celebration.
There were probably not many people who were alone like him.
However, just when Tony thought that he would spend breakfast alone, a young man who looked to be in his twenties came to him with a tray.
“Hi, hi, can I sit here? Um… and my girlfriend.”
The other person asked.
Tony was stunned for a moment and nodded:
“Of course.”
The table was not small, more than enough for four people to sit here, and he didn’t mind other people sitting here too.
“Great!”
The young man was delighted.
He put down the tray and waved to the distance:
“Qianqian! Come! Sit here!”
Qianqian?
Tony was stunned.
For a moment, he suddenly felt that this name was so familiar.
Putting down the fork on the plate, he quietly raised his head and carefully looked at the young man in front of him. After such a careful look… Suddenly, he felt that although the other party looked unfamiliar, his appearance and behavior were somewhat familiar.
And soon, a cute and cute girl also came over with a tray. She walked like the wind, and she shuttled freely among the crowd in the restaurant, but the tray in her hand was so stable that people couldn’t help but sigh at her balance.
This woman also gave Tony a familiar feeling.
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, and the valve of memory opened instantly.
Tony suddenly remembered who he had heard called him in the game, and he also remembered who the other party’s appearance and behavior were very similar to.
“Yeah Yeah? Are you Yeah Yeah?”
he asked.
The young man was stunned.
He looked at Tony, stayed for a while, and suddenly became excited:
“Tony? Are you Tony?”
“Haha, that’s right! It’s me! I’m here too, this is… Nana, right?”
Tony laughed and looked at the girl next to him.
Yeye was very happy, took the girl’s hand, and said in the other’s somewhat disgusted eyes:
“Yes, this is my girlfriend, Nana.”
Tony was very surprised.
He didn’t expect that he would meet an acquaintance in the game in the restaurant.
Although as an international player active in the Mengmeng Committee, he knows many Chinese players, but because he has been exploring various planes for many years, he has limited participation in guild activities, and there are not many people with whom he has a deep friendship.
However, Yeye and Nana can barely be counted as two.
When Tony just entered the game and carried out the mission in the Dawn World, he became familiar with each other.
At that time, the two were already gold players and helped him a lot.
However, later the two left the Dawn World and went to guard the hell, and they didn’t contact each other for a long time.
If we count the time in the game, it’s probably almost 20 years. When Tony thinks about it, he even feels like he’s in another world.
The map of Elf Kingdom is too big. If it weren’t for the chat system, the map would be so big that players from different worlds would feel like they were playing two different games…
“Tony, haha… I always thought you were young, but I didn’t expect you to be so mature!”
Yeye laughed.
“Yeye, I remember you said that it would be great if you were as handsome as in the game, but in reality, you are obviously very handsome.”
Tony also laughed.
“Oh, it’s all her credit. She taught me skin care and helped me choose clothes. My temperament has changed slowly.”
Yeye looked at his girlfriend beside him lovingly.
However, Nana rolled her eyes at him:
“Lazy guy, you still don’t want to cover your sun when you go out. You don’t even know that you are prone to getting dark.”
Tony was happy to see the two of them showing off their love in front of him.
He thought of his girlfriend, with whom he had a quarrel last month.
Looking at the intimacy between Yeye and Nana, he suddenly missed his girlfriend again.
Perhaps, I should admit my mistake and restore our relationship. Jennifer was right. I only had the game in my mind and I really ignored her.
Or maybe… I should also find a way to bring her into the pit of “Elf Kingdom”?
Damn it! Even if I want to, I have to be able to draw a player quota.
At this moment, Tony’s thoughts drifted a lot…
Both parties recognized each other’s identities and communicated freely.
They hadn’t seen each other in the game for almost twenty years, and there were many things they wanted to talk about. Just sharing what they had seen and heard in the game over the years was enough for them to talk for three days and three nights:
“Tony, are you still continuing to explore the planes now?”
“Of course, I just finished a exploration recently and am on vacation.”
“Is it the world of Calradia? The world where the highest level is only lower silver?”
“Yes, we have to suppress our strength when we enter the map.”
“Hey, if we carry some magic scrolls with us, wouldn’t we be able to walk sideways?”
“Don’t mention it. The energy of high-level scrolls is too strong. We used it once when we unified the continent and almost shattered the space… causing a void storm.”
“Terrible…”
“What about you? Are you still in the Hell plane?”
“Not for a long time. I got sick of it after staying there for a few years. Anyway, I’ve reached the maximum level, and the two of us are traveling in various planes! Last month I went to the Mindel world to see mermaids, and next month I plan to go to the Dawn world for a stroll.”
“Then you must come to my house as a guest. Now I’m considered a small lord in the Dawn world.”
“Haha, of course! Time flies… Tony, you’ve reached the maximum level without me noticing.”
“After all… I’ve been a gamer for seven years too. To be honest, you guys have only been in the game two years earlier than me.”
“Haha, that’s true. We are all old guys in the game now, but… why don’t you take a break after reaching the maximum level? Wouldn’t it be nice to travel around the various planes and show off?”
“I want to own an aerial fortress of my own and then build a pioneering team of my own, so I’ve been saving money.”
“Good boy… you’re determined to be a pioneer player to the end!”
“Of course, I love adventure the most.”
“You’re worthy of it! But… it just so happens that you have explored so many planes over the years. Do you have any recommendations for places with better scenery?”
“How about the world of Winkwater-Autumn? The scenery there is very nice, with four seasons like spring, and there are many magnificent scenery, and… the status of goddesses and elves is also very high.”
“Winkwater-Autumn? What place is that?”
“Well, it’s said that this is an artificially improved plane left by the arcane civilization. You can also find magical facilities that improve the plane’s climate. Although the energy level of the entire plane is not high, the beauty of the environment is comparable to heaven.”
“It sounds pretty good!”
Tony ate while talking to the other party, sharing what he had seen and heard over the years.
Of course, there was also basic information about each other’s reality.
Yeye and Nana have graduated from college for two years. Yeye passed the civil service exam and became a civil servant, while Nana teaches in a public elementary school.
The two officially confirmed their relationship when they were in college. Now that they have graduated, they are preparing for their wedding, planning to hold it once in reality and once in the game.
They have been visiting various planes recently and are also selecting venues.
“Time flies so fast. I still remember when I just met you, you said you were still in high school, but in the blink of an eye, you have graduated from college and are about to enter the palace of marriage.”
Tony sighed.
At this time, he suddenly understood the sighs of Zhuzhu and others.
Although in the game, the identity of elves makes everyone look the same after so many years, in fact, nearly thirty years have passed in the game, and even in reality, seven years have passed.
Time, after all, leaves traces and changes many things.
Sometimes, after staying in the game for too long, Tony even feels that he should be an elf chosen one who opens up planes, rather than a worker in the company who has to face the stinky face of his boss all the time.
