Chapter 103 The Real World

On the magnificent cruise ship, Wen Shi's mind was looking for Pei Hongxin and his wife. When he sensed something was wrong, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly. During this time, he quickly asked, "Why does uncle look at me like that?"

Ji Yuanzhi could probably guess the reason, but he didn't say anything, he just said: "As you get older, presbyopia sees everyone like this."

In fact, Ji's father is not very old, they look alike, but Ji Yuanzhi's father is a bit more ruthless.

Before Ji Yuanzhi could speak to his family, the young man's parents smiled and looked back: "Pei Hongxin is here."

Wen Shi's eyes sank, and he followed his reputation to the most crowded place.

Pei Hongxin has a good reputation in the business world, and he is very popular, and he is the focus of every appearance.Like Ji Yuanzhi, no matter where he shows up, he always brings his bodyguards with him.

Wei Yue was wearing a black retro long dress today, holding Pei Hongxin's arm lightly all the way. She didn't wear too many accessories, except for a pair of jade earrings, which was the Nanhong bracelet on her left hand.

As soon as the two appeared, they became the focus of everyone's attention, and many people went to say hello.

As a bystander, Wen Shi lowered his eyes and smiled silently. According to legend, the Nanhong bracelet can protect wealth and wealth, and the leopard carved from jade would suit their wishes very well.

Ji Yuanzhi: "Do you want to show your face now?"

Wen Shi nodded, and was about to walk towards him when he stopped him with one hand.

"What's the rush?" Father Ji said, "The chef invited today is very skilled, and the deck is very windy, you might as well go inside and eat for a while."

Because he took the initiative to talk to Wen Shi, and his tone was not very harsh, the people around couldn't help but look at Wen Shi more.

Although he didn't know the other party's intentions, Wen Shi still chose to listen to the persuasion and walk into the cruise ship.

Pei Hongxin, who was talking with someone in front of him, only saw a tall and straight black figure passing through the crowd, and suddenly felt strange and familiar, but when he wanted to take a closer look, that figure had disappeared.

The reception was mainly about wine. Tonight, many decorations were displayed with upside-down cups as artworks. The waiters walked back and forth, and different wine glasses were placed on the tray for the convenience of guests.

Wen Shi took a glass of champagne and served it with strawberries.

When Pei Hongxin came in, he took advantage of the opportunity to stand behind a champagne tower.

Aside from the moral point of view, Pei Hongxin is a middle-aged man, with a perfect combination of domineering and refined temperament. After a simple entertainment outside, he walked into the yacht with a smile all the way.

Walking all the way to the temporary stage, Pei Hongxin raised his glass and said a few polite words: "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here for a gathering."

Wen Shi didn't listen very carefully to the rest of the words. When he was about to show off half of the plate of strawberries, a few people pushed a small cart and transported something to the stage very solemnly.

Although it was covered with a layer of cloth, everyone knew that underneath it was a bottle of wine, which was also the only item in the auction tonight.

It was the first time Wen Shi had seen a wine bottle inlaid with diamonds and gold-plated. The moment the black cloth was lifted, he was almost dazzled by the single-cut diamonds on it.

Pei Hongxin focused on introducing this bottle of wine, calling it the most perfect and natural brandy in the world.When he held up the wine bottle to show, Ji Fu, who had just entered, winked at Wen, Wen Shi understood, with a flick of his wrist, the fruit plate next to him fell to the ground.

The crisp sound of the plates hitting the ground attracted countless attentions, and Pei Hongxin on the stage followed suit. Under the bright lights, the young man's smiling face overlapped with a face in his memory.

The smile on Pei Hongxin's face suddenly froze.

Wei Yue beside her became short of breath, and her nails almost sank into her husband's flesh through the suit.

so similar.

This is a face enlarged almost to the same proportion as that of the child!

Wen Shiyao raised the champagne to the couple. Others thought he was apologizing for accidentally knocking over the fruit plate, but Pei Hongxin on the stage heard his heartbeat beating like a drum.

A person who has made him sleepless for many years, and subconsciously keeps telling himself that he is dead, stands alive in front of him at this moment.Wen Shi happened to be under a spot of lighting, and the warm and bright lights came down, and the orange color was like the flames of a fire.

Surprise made Pei Hongxin lose his mind for a few seconds, the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground with a "smack", and the sound of hitting the wooden stage was far louder than the fruit plate just now.

No amount of expensive diamonds could stop the bottle from shattering, and the brandy he had just praised flowed all over the floor.

"husband……"

"Shut up." Pei Hongxin tried his best to suppress the trembling in his voice. He controlled his expression and smoothed things over in time: "I made everyone laugh. Not long ago I was almost scratched by a stray bullet when I was inspecting a project abroad.If there is a sudden noise, it is easy to overreact.”

His business partner who had a better relationship with him teased a few words, and the waiter came over to clean up the table in time, and an episode was about to be over.

However, there are always some people who are smart, especially some older people. When they look at Wen Shi a few more times, they always feel that they have seen it somewhere.

Wen Shi put down his wine glass, and sighed to himself that Ji Yuanzhi's father would pick the right time, not only ruining a bottle of wine for Pei Hongxin, but also making him make a fool of himself in full view.All the guests are gathered together tonight. It is not ruled out that someone will think of the photos published in the newspaper through him, and then relate to the accident many years ago. I am afraid that Pei Hongxin will soon have trouble sleeping and eating.

In the second half of the reception, Pei Hongxin completely forgot the purpose at the beginning, and forcibly kept his gaze away from Wen Shi, so as not to attract excessive attention.

He now hopes that the other party can come over and say a few words on his own initiative, at least he will have a chance to test him out.

However, Wen Shi didn't do what he wanted, except for occasionally wandering around Pei Hongxin to create panic, he didn't do any unnecessary actions.

The reception was held until midnight, and Wen Shi left half an hour earlier.

As the organizer, Pei Hongxin insisted on staying until the last moment. Many drunk guests lived directly in the cabins of the cruise ship tonight. Wei Yue dragged him to the bow in time, and felt that his heartbeat hadn't recovered yet.

"Hurry up and ask someone to check the identity of the young man just now. I'll go and adjust the surveillance to see who he came with."

Pei Hongxin waved his hand: "These are not the key points. If it is really that child, he must have come prepared."

Wei Yue frowned: "You mean..."

"Anyway, we were already planning to emigrate overseas. After the application for nationality change is approved, it will not be easy for us to go back after we leave."

Wei Yue somewhat disagreed. According to the original plan, they would have to stay for at least one or two more years to gradually expand overseas markets. If they left in a hurry, they would lose a lot of profits.

"There's no evidence at all that it was about us, and it's impossible for him to know..."

Pei Hongxin held on to the railing and interrupted her for the second time: "Don't take chances."

The money they earned would never be spent in this lifetime, and the domestic market was almost saturated, so Pei Hongxin didn't want to live in fear of guarding Jinshan.

Wei Yue wanted to say something more, but Pei Hongxin glanced at her, and Wei Yue pursed his lips.Not long after, footsteps were heard from behind, and a man with a flattering smile came over.

"Mr. Pei." He handed over a box: "A small gift is not a tribute, thank you for supporting our company for so many years."

Many of Pei Hongxin's equipment were bought from the hands of others. After taking the box and opening it, a lifelike leopard appeared in front of him.

"The one who was consecrated by the master was specially kept in the temple for a while." The visitor smiled and said, "It not only protects wealth, but also protects safety."

What happened tonight was too evil, the last sentence just hit Pei Hongxin's heart, he didn't think much, and accepted the gift box: "You have a heart."

...

The moonlight is very gentle.

Wen Shi originally planned to return directly to the virtual world, but was invited by Ji Yuanzhi's father as a guest.

There are many hotels owned by his family in Tianhai City, and he only ate some fruit during the warming reception earlier, which was the time when he needed supper to renew his life.

Father Ji didn't talk much, but he didn't talk coldly, and he didn't mention a few words until Wen Shi finished his meal: "Sometimes there is no evidence to ruin a person's reputation, but sometimes there is enough evidence, and the sentence is only a few years.Inside."

Wen Shi nodded: "Don't worry, I know it well."

He understood what the other party meant, even if everything went well, the end result was that Pei Hongxin would spend a few years in prison.

Father Ji nodded: "It's good that you understand, for a shrewd entrepreneur, bankruptcy does not mean the end."

Father Ji has a meeting tomorrow, and he is going back to the neighboring city now. Before he left, he stopped the two of them from seeing him off, and finally reminded Wen Shi: "The seven inches of the snake should be reserved for the closest relatives."

If there was really someone who could put Pei Hongxin to death, it must be Wei Yue, not Wen Shi.

The driver drove Ji's father away, and Ji Yuanzhi took a sip of tea: "He probably drank too much today, he's a bit rambunctious, don't mind."

Wen Shi shook his head: "I'm very grateful to Uncle."

If there is no game, no matter how you deal with it, it will easily become a thorn in your heart.

Ji Yuanzhi said calmly: "When Pei Hongxin enters the dungeon, it's easy for you to play however you want. As long as you earn points, someone will help you torture him to death."

Wen Shi stared at the floating waves in the teacup: "That's right."

However, those people who can be hired with points are almost the same group as the ones who wanted to torture him to ask for information when he made the first dungeon. Wen Shi felt sick to his stomach when dealing with them, and it was easy to cause trouble.

Assuming that Pei Hongxin died arbitrarily on a rule, and he felt that the other party was too cheap, he would inevitably feel depressed.

Seemingly seeing a hint of annoyance gathered between Wen Shi's brows, Ji Yuanzhi suddenly asked: "Do you still remember how we got to the copy of "Crazy Love Season"?"

Wen Shi raised his eyes: "Buy a theme with a ghost marriage scene."

Ji Yuanzhi: "With Pei Hongxin's ability, the chance of surviving the game for the first time is very high. Afterwards, you only need to buy a copy with ghost talk scenes, and use it as his grave."

Wen Shi didn't know much about this, so he humbly asked for advice.

Ji Yuanzhi smiled: "The players are most afraid of this kind of dungeon. Once the dungeon of the legendary ghost story dies, the soul will be imprisoned."

Wen Shi heard the words and thought of the four people holding candles in the mirror room. The dead players seemed to be trapped in the mirror forever.

"Good idea." He had a smile on his face again. After all, it is not difficult to trick people into a team.

Wen Shi: "Go back to the virtual world?"

There are also many players who want to attack him in reality, and Pei Hongxin needs to be on guard, the virtual world should be safer.

Ji Yuanzhi nodded: "It just so happens that it's time for me to download the dungeon, together?"

Wen Shi: "My next trip should have been decided. I plan to go to the Mermaid Coast, but I need a bus ticket, so I may not be able to form a team successfully."

Ji Yuanzhi was just asking casually, but when he heard the words, his eyes became slightly more interested: "It's not a problem, I have a high-level team-building item, and I can do it."

Wen Shi found that he seemed very interested in this book.

Ji Yuanzhi said frankly: "It will be easier to deal with a copy of a given element. Doing a legend investigation in advance and purchasing the corresponding props are all countermeasures."

Wen Shi's eyes lit up: "That's great, let's make money together."

He can also take a look at Ji Yuanzhi's investigation results.

In order to make it easier for the other party to collect information, Wen Shi took the initiative to provide a clue: "The npc in the last dungeon mentioned the Mermaid King, saying that getting close to him would make you unlucky."

Not nervous because of hearing a title similar to boss, Ji Yuanzhi said calmly: "It doesn't matter, in this respect, you can go head-to-head."

The npcs near Pei Wenwei also suffered catastrophe.

"..."

After exchanging information, the two tore off the pass and returned to the virtual world.

Wherever you start, you will still appear there when you come back.

Wen Shi appeared in the hotel room out of thin air, Song Yan was so startled that he almost couldn't hold back and turned into a mirror again.

Wen Shi, who was originally embarrassed to scare people, looked at him like a frightened little white mouse, and laughed a little unkindly.

Song Yan's face has soft lines and low facial features, which can be regarded as a baby face. He is holding a philosophy book in his hand, and there are several thick materials piled up beside him.

Wen Shi glanced at the title of the book: "Looking Directly at the Scorching Sun - Conquering the Fear of Death".

He always felt that this incarnation of the true spirit was taking a strange promotion route.

Shaking his head, Wen Shi walked into the guest room and took out the two tickets, the lake blue luster mixed with warmth and cruelty.

He wondered how to give the little octopus.

The system beep came without warning:

"Do you want to spend ten points to mail the ticket?"

"..." It can be seen that the game is also short of money.

However, the shadow of the scarecrow disappeared on the k9999 train. This ticket has something to do with Jian Qingrong, so it's normal that it can be mailed.Wen Shi did not spare the ten points and chose to send them.

"I'll add another ten points, can you help me bring another small card?"

Nursing home, reference room.

The round table has been wiped clean, and there are small snacks of various colors on the table.

The waiting time was a bit long, and the pastry began to harden slightly. A thin and slender figure sat quietly in the shadows. He had been waiting for a day, and he got up to clear the table after the midnight bell struck.

"No..." the man murmured in the dark.

Today's afternoon tea is not held.

After taking away the snacks on the table one by one, when Jian Qingrong turned around for the last time, there was an extra greeting card on the round table at some point.

He opened it casually, and a ticket fell out of it, and it landed lightly at his feet.

Attracted by the familiar handwriting, Jian Qingrong first looked at the content on the greeting card.He recognized at a glance that it was Wen Shi's writing. When the other party helped him rewrite the file, it was the same handwriting. Occasionally, Jian Qingrong would copy Wen Shi's writing to pass the time in his spare time late at night.

There is only one sentence on the card:

"Let's go see the mermaid together."

At the end, drew a stick figure of a black cat poking its head. The big cat eyes seem to blink at any time.

A smile slowly appeared on the pale face, Jian Qingrong looked at Mao Mao's head, and said softly in the dark and empty space: "Okay."
