Eventually, After taking a shower, Hoder and Mu Si went out to eat together.
For appetizers, they had cold kelp. For the main course, they had stir-fried pork liver, shredded pork with green peppers, and tofu soup with green vegetables. For dessert, they had two bowls of rice.
Neither Hoder nor Mu Si had the habit of drinking all the time, unless they would drink something at dinner when they were happy, and they didn't drink at ordinary times.
Overall, the food at the restaurant downstairs was quite tasty.
After all, the four people ate there from the time they first entered the university until now, and after trying all the restaurants in the university town, they unanimously agreed that the food was still delicious.
The price was also very fair. After a few years, they all knew the owner, so occasionally, they would get a small discount.
When the food was served, the owner asked them a few questions: "Are you about to graduate?" "
"Aren't the other two coming back?"
It's probably something like that.
Very unpretentious, but also easygoing.
After eating a late dinner, Hoder adjusted his glasses and went straight to the checkout.
The reason he settled the bill instead of Mu Si was simple. When he checked out, Mu Si didn't get up immediately but was thinking about something, so Hoder easily paid the bill.
To be honest, he isn't short on money now. Although he has talked about treating people to meals, people who have been friends with classmates for several years won't worry about paying for food.
Neither he nor Mu Si nor the other two roommates who had moved out to work cared about this. For them, paying the bill was casual.
For years, no one kept track of who owed whom a few meals, and no one cared about the details anyway.
If the relationship is good, these meals are inexpensive, but if you have to ask each other for money during a long dinner, won't there be no next time?
Then, after Hoder finished paying and was about to buy a can of coconut water, he realized something was wrong.
The animal seemed absent-minded.
Before, Hoder had been focused on the food and his phone and hadn't noticed, but now Mu Si seemed a bit off.
He sat there like a sculpture. The only proof that he was alive was probably the way he kept stirring the tofu soup in his bowl.
The white, tender tofu had been crushed by his stirring, and upon closer inspection, it seemed that he never stopped stirring.
A bowl of clear tofu soup was stirred up, which made Hoder curious.
Hoder had known him for a while, and he had never seen him like this. As a man with a mine and tens of thousands of yuan at his disposal, he shouldn't have any troubles.
After all, Mu Si himself said, "Most things in this world can be solved with money."
Since meeting him in college over three years ago, he has always seemed carefree. His lifestyle is not very good, but his grades have always been at the forefront, so what could he worry about?
"Old Huo."
Eventually, probably sensing Hoder's tentative gaze, he spoke up.
"Huh?"
"The game 'Nine Realms' doesn't have to be a copy, right?"
"Huh? What's wrong?" "
As he spoke, Mu Si turned his head, and a hint of thought appeared in his eyes.
"I realized that I wasn't cut out for fighting."
After a long while, he held back such a sentence, which inevitably brought Hoder's thoughts back to over an hour ago.
It seems that this is indeed the case, and this guy's combat effectiveness in the game is weak.
Although "Nine Realms" has the extra skill "Boxer," Mu Si doesn't seem to have it at all because he doesn't seem to know how to fight.
If he sees it too well, then when he compares himself to Suna, who is fighting alongside him, or even competes with him on the same stage, he seems inferior.
"Fighting monster skills can be practiced."
"But I find it annoying."
Speechless...
Games are meant to be fun, especially games like "Nine Realms," which has a high degree of freedom.
Most players like the thrill of killing monsters in the wild, hunting, and exploring dungeons. After all, adventuring in the game's atrium world is what most players want more than anything else.
It's like someone who plays Old Roll 5 can't just keep the fire DLC, and no one doesn't like Miss Serana.
However, there are still some people with different interests and hobbies, and such players do exist in the game.
They pay more attention to the minigames provided by Nine Realms than to the next dungeon. Examples include Norwegian war chess and pet battles. Even skill plus points are life skills.
Herb specialization doesn't add blood; it studies which flowers look best where.
These players have a name in the forums: "life players."
Their equipment may not be the best and they may not be popular, but they are happy.
Those beautiful flowers that never fade in the auction house are not cheap....
"The main theme of 'Nine Realms' has always been combat, and you have to complete the main story."
"But I'm not interested in these heroes." He spoke with a sense of helplessness.
"When I just got out of the dungeon, I felt that way. That girl named Suna could barely hit every shot, even when she used the longbow as a melee weapon. She could fly those rock golems, which I couldn't do."
Mu Si followed the path of a boxer, but the most he could do was throw punches. After seeing his fighting style, Hoder finally knew why he couldn't beat the sea troll.
When it comes to fighting, he's a complete novice.
"So, you want to abandon the pit?"
"No, not for the time being. After all, there are some fun aspects to this game."
He's not talking nonsense; he really thinks so.
Excluding the things that worry him, this so-called "game" does have a lot of fun things. What really interests him is the "pet."
"I'm interested in pets. Is there a way to get my hands on them?"
"Pet battles?"
"Hmm."
"You can buy them in shops, but they're generally not very good. Auction houses have them too, but I don't recommend spending your money on them."
When it comes to the game, Hoder doesn't talk nonsense; he uses his own impressions to form opinions.
"Well, I might... tomorrow afternoon. I'll take you to the next book, brush a few pets out, and you can play by yourself when the time comes." "
"Okay!"
Take this opportunity to explore more of the map.
Also, are the pets in the game a 'life'?
What exactly is the relationship between the dungeon and the main map? There are so many things Mu Si needs to figure out!
"That's it. I have something to do this evening, so I'll head out first."
"Where are you going?"
"To the nightlife."
"Oh."
