Chapter 40

Lin Si sighed and gave up the idea of smelling the pheromones on his body.

The cell phone next to the quilt buzzed and vibrated.

Y: "Are you sleeping?"

Lin Si: "No, have you eaten?"

Y: "Well, I've already eaten."

Lin Si immediately asked him: "Then let's go to the virtual world to play?"

Y: "Yeah."

After a brief loading screen passed, Lin Si saw the bedroom clearly. Y beside him also sat up and said, "Good evening."

Lin Si grabbed his hand, shook it, and said with a smile, "Good evening!" He turned on the special effect light in the bedroom. In the dim light and shadow, Lin Si sat cross-legged on the bed, grabbing Y with his other hand, "I haven’t spoken much to you today, I miss you a bit.”

His palms could not completely cover Y, but his eyes covered the entire Y.

"Baby." Y called him softly.

Lin Si smiled, showing a row of white teeth, rushed over to hug him, and whispered, "Did you hear what I was going to say to you yesterday?"

"Guessed it." Y said.

Lin Si raised her lips and said, "Then you didn't listen to everything I said this afternoon."

"I didn't listen to everything." Y put his hands on his waist, supporting him in a gentlemanly manner.

"Then tell me what you haven't finished saying this afternoon." Lin Si said.

Y patted his lower back: "I'll take you there now."

Lin Si immediately jumped under the bed and stretched out his hand to pull him: "Let's go, let's go!"

Before they went out, Y asked him: "Do you like it here?"

Lin Si looked back: "Is this a one-bedroom apartment?"

"Um."

"I like it. The bedroom is so beautiful and there is a big balcony." Lin Si said.

Y: "Then buy it in a few days."

Lin Si: "??? With a daily salary of 5 gold coins, you are already planning to buy a house?"

Y smiled and said, "Yes."

They went downstairs, exchanged gold coins for silver coins at a convenience store, and took the tram to Wanqi Market in the northernmost part of Queenstown.

"This is..." Lin Si looked at each store, "Selling chessboards?"

Y held his hand, walked to the end of the market, opened the curtain on the door, and took him inside.

"Welcome to Chess and Cards Street," the boss greeted at the door, "Please come inside."

Night is the busiest time, and the small tables in the chess and card street are full of people. Y whispers in Lin Si's ear: "The fixed area on the left is the human airport. Enter with coins. As long as you win the human machine, you can get it."Gold coin rewards, the higher the difficulty, the more rewards.”

"On the right is the player field, custom bets."

Lin Si walked to the left and looked at the tables one by one, chess, military chess, go, international chess, bridge...

"Can we play together?" Lin Si asked.

Y shook his head: "Only one person can participate, and the remaining one is watching."

Lin Si nodded: "Then let's try?"

Y looked back and said: "We'll see the man-machine game later. There are a lot of free people now. Let's open the player board."

He walked over, sat down cross-legged at a Go table, and pulled a mat with Lin Si.

"Hello." He greeted his opponent.

Opposite was a young man. Looking at his face, Lin Si vaguely remembered a certain model and guessed that he probably modeled his face after it.

"Two people?" The man was a little disdainful, "It doesn't matter, two people are fine, but we can't win anyway."

"I'll come." Y took Lin Si's hand, "My little gentleman will only watch the game and will not disturb the chess game."

Lin Si, who was still concentrating on studying the model's face, gave a heart-pounding blow, and then a beam of fire burst out from the fastest beating place, burning all the limbs and bones, and gradually spread to the cheeks and earlobes.

He moved closer to Y with a cushion and rubbed his hand on the back of Y's hand several times to express his liking.

The man looked at their little moves and snorted softly from his nose: "If you want to place a bet, hurry up."

Y stretched out his hand: "I'll follow you."

The man pressed 25 gold coins, and Y raised his eyebrows: "I thought you were very confident that you could beat me."

Y pressed 100 gold coins, and Lin Si had to take a breath.

"It's the first day, I'm so loud." The man added the remaining 75 gold coins, "Be careful if you lose and change numbers and try again."

The chessboard is open on the desktop electronic screen, and Y holds the white stone.

Lin Si knew nothing about Go, so he just watched them without saying a word, moving back and forth. But with the naked eye, he could see that there were fewer and fewer black stones on the board, white stones occupied the board, and the face of the person across the table became increasingly ugly.

After two minutes, three words popped up on the electronic screen: Bai Zisheng.

Lin Si hugged Y's arm: "Win!"

They accepted each other's 100 gold coins, and Lin Si, a little money fan, smiled and said to each other: "Thank you, thank you!"

"One more!" said the man.

Y turned and asked Lin Si: "Is it boring?"

"No!" Lin Sixin said. Earning one hundred gold coins in less than twenty minutes wouldn't be boring at all, right?

They played the second game, and Y continued to press 100 gold coins. The opponent was riding a tiger and was unable to move, and only pressed 50 gold coins.

This game took longer than the previous game. It took Y half an hour to win and get 50 gold coins.

The man was reluctant to press any further. Lin Si and Y also felt that his gold coins were not enough, so they changed the chess table.

After making another 300 gold coins at the chess table, Y stopped playing and opened a chess table directly at the player's field. He borrowed a piece of paper from the shopkeeper and stuck it to the side.

"The prize pool gold coins are 1,500 gold coins. All chess and card categories are available. You can take them all if you win one game."

"Is it really possible?" Lin Si asked Y in a low voice.

"I don't know," Y said. "If we lose everything, we will have to live in a garbage dump."

Lin Si smiled softly, leaned on Y's shoulder and waited: "Then you are ready to work as a waiter in the restaurant with me tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, someone was indeed jealous of the reward and came to the card table.

"Please pay 300 gold coins for the start." Lin Si said to him, "As long as you win a round, all our 1,500 gold coins will be yours."

The admission fee is not cheap, but there are players who are willing to take a gamble.

However, one night, Y did not lose a set. He was very smart and did not directly win the opponent. Instead, he gave his opponent some hope of winning, giving them the illusion that they were evenly matched and ultimately defeated.

So there are always people who want to challenge and think they have a chance to win gold coins.

"A person only has one chance to challenge once a week," Lin Si refused to challenge anyone again, "Don't be addicted to the chess game."

After that, whether it was chess, Go or backgammon, Y still never lost.

Lin Si was only looking at the gold coin balance on the panel, his hand changed from holding Y's arm to holding half of his body, and he wanted to stuff the little cornucopia of Y's name into his pocket.

"The event is over." Lin Si rejected the next few people, turned off the electronic screen, and successfully closed the stall.

Y saw that the corners of his smiling mouth had not fallen off all night, and couldn't help but touch the top of his head: "Are you happy?"

"Happy!" Lin Si opened the panel to show him, "More than 8,400... We must be the richest people in the virtual world now!"

Y led him around the chess field and asked, "Do you want to play?"

"But I can only play backgammon, and I'm not very good at bridge..." Lin Si said, "I'll lose money."

Y pointed to the four-person table in the upper right corner: "Where's the flying chess?"

Lin Si rubbed his fingers: "Then... let's play?"

Y takes him there.

When they were just playing backgammon, Lin Si grabbed his arm and looked like he was about to speak but was still eager to try.

Their positions changed, Lin Si sat in the middle of the table, and Y stood beside him.

The three people at the same table had all heard about the big devil who was starting tonight. Seeing them sitting across from each other, they couldn't help but feel a little afraid of them.

"5...5 gold coins, right?" they said.

This was exactly what Lin Si wanted. He put 5 gold coins into the prize pool and started flying chess.

Theirs is a blue plane.

After two minutes, Lin Si pursed his lips and said, "I was beaten and sent home."

Ten minutes later, Lin Si lay on the edge of the table dejectedly: "I'm home again..."

Twenty minutes later, Lin Si hugged Y and cried loudly: "I was already at the door of the house and he beat me back..."

Y smiled and held his dice-throwing hand, lightly threw it on the electronic screen, and threw out a six.

Lin Si: "!"

The little plane he just returned home took off again!

In the end, with the help of Ou Huang Y, Lin Si barely managed to escape from the bottom and got third place, losing only three gold coins.

He touched his hands and left the chess and card street: "Why do your hands smell so bad..."

Y took him and walked in the glorious night market.

It was already past midnight. Lin Si and he were standing on the roadside waiting for the tram and asked, "Are we still coming tomorrow?"

"In a few days," Y said, "these people know us, and if we come tomorrow, there won't be so many people challenging us."

Lin Si nodded and asked worriedly: "If we make so much money, will we be sanctioned?"

"Controlling the number of people and gold coins, one person can only challenge once, and the amount is 300 yuan at a time. It does not reach the point of being sanctioned." Y said.

Lin Si hugged his arm: "Why are you so good at chess?"

“I used to make chess and card software, and I had to study the gameplay before designing the algorithm,” Y said.

Lin Si sighed: "You are all so amazing..."

"We?" Y asked him.

"Oh, and my boss is the one I told you about before." Lin Si said, "He also understands the computer industry very well. He even talked to me about the virtual world of Paopao today."

Y was quiet for a long time and then asked: "The boss you said you didn't like before?"

"Well," Lin Si thought for a while, "but now I think he is quite nice, and we have made peace with each other. Although we are still a little uncomfortable getting along together, it is much better than before."

Y asked him: "Really?"

"Well, when I didn't like him before, I thought he hated me everywhere, but when he said I was very good, I also thought he was very good." Lin Si thought of something, shook Y's arm and said, "YesYes! I know what my pheromones taste like today!"

Y looked totally clueless and asked, "What does it taste like?"

Lin Si carefully looked around, then leaned close to Y's ear, as if he was telling a big secret: "Milk! Milk-flavored! Fragrant!"

Y smiled very softly, like a feather sweeping over Lin Si's ear, making it tickle warmly.

Lin Si lowered his head and said with a blush, "Why are you laughing at me...Does the milk taste ordinary?"

"No, it's very special," Y said, "I like it very much."

Lin Si looked up, his eyes full of expectation: "Really?"

"Well, no one would dislike it." Y said.

Lin Si smiled with satisfaction and added to him: "I heard it also smells like freesia, which is also very fragrant."

They both laughed together at the midnight tram stop.

In front of them, a white kitten walked by with its paws on its feet and stood under the stop sign, watching them.

Lin Si noticed it and shook Y's hand: "There is a cat."

"It should be a stray cat." Y squatted down and reached out.

The cat came over, rubbed it in his hand, and whispered "meow".

Lin Si hid behind Y and peeked from the side: "Why are there still stray cats in the virtual world?"

"The pet system exists." Y said, "Do you want to keep one?"

The kitten meowed again, and Lin Sixin seemed to be scratched by it with its claws, but still did not come close.

"Why are you afraid of small animals?" Y circled the stray cat with his arm.

Lin Si pursed his lips and looked down at the neat floor tiles: "They will bite, and if they are bitten, they need to be vaccinated. I don't like injections."

Y's obviously at a loss expression made Lin Si feel a little guilty. He said, "But I want to give it a try -"

Before he finished speaking, Y's other arm hugged him: "Baby, things will get better in the future."

The author has something to say: Lu Yan: A wife on the left and a cat on the right, a winner in life.

Let me tell you, the setting is such that you can’t smell your own pheromones!
