chapter 101 (gu mochi)
When Gu Mochi was 20 years old, he happened to run into a group of robbers in a bank. He was affected by the conflict between the police and the robbers. He was shot in the chest and thought he was dead. However, he was miraculously saved after being sent to the hospital.
Naturally, a month after his recovery, he bound to the [Survivor Escape] system and began his long and endless survival journey.
He occasionally reflected that luck was really a kind of metaphysics. For example, he always regarded himself as the koi king of Europe. He won at least seven or eight times out of ten draws; he would go to any restaurant and they would have a big store anniversary sale; he would pick up a wallet when he looked down on the street - oh, the wallet was handed over to the police station, he would not take advantage of that.
Even in the game, he was always protected by golden light and rode away from the dust, and good luck always favored him.
... But, on the other hand, if he really had good luck, would he be chosen by this damn system?
How can one word describe it?
He was smart and had learned Sanda for a few years when he was young. Although he stopped learning after his father died and his mother remarried, he has insisted on high-intensity fitness training in recent years to ensure that he can stay invincible in the game.
In order to make money and accumulate more water of life, he would also take orders and bring customers on the forum, one order at a time, and withdraw after the final payment, never making friends with customers.
On the one hand, it was too troublesome, and on the other hand, he felt that there was no need to waste feelings on bronze and silver rookies.
He traveled alone for seven years and never thought of binding himself to anyone for a long time.
Until the age of 27, he had already been promoted to platinum, and he took a high-priced substitute contract and entered the gold round of the promotion match on behalf of the customer.
In that round, he met a couple, the man was called Qiao Yunzheng and the woman was called Fu Lanyu.
... Later he found out that the two people were not in love at the time, although they really felt like a couple, as if they had known each other for many years.
Qiao Yunzheng and Fu Lanyu are both high-end players, with strength that even he, who thinks highly of himself, recognizes. He formed an alliance with the other party, and the three of them cleared the level together.
For some reason, before leaving, he left his mobile phone number and said that he could contact him when he was free.
Strong people are always attracted to each other. He was very interested in them, and it was from then on that he also had the idea of finding a partner.
In fact, it is good to have someone accompany you through the journey, even if it is just to talk and relieve boredom when you are bored? Once you develop a tacit understanding and support each other, it can be regarded as a kind of comfort for the long years.
He doesn't really need support, but loneliness does exist after all.
Then one day, he received a call from Qiao Yunzheng, and he carried a simple luggage to City C, where he met Fu Lanyu's best friend Bai Sheng.
It was like a meeting given by fate, and everything seemed to be arranged in the dark.
It was evening that day, and Bai Sheng's milk tea-colored wheat ear curly hair was loosely rolled up, with two strands hanging on the side of her face, glowing with a very soft luster in the afterglow of the sunset.
She was talking to Fu Lanyu happily, her lips were red and her teeth were white when she smiled, she was sweet, energetic, and full of spirit.
A glimpse.
He was too lazy to delve into the definition of love at first sight. He only knew that this girl completely met his subconscious aesthetics, and she was so cute that his heart skipped a beat.
What a coincidence, she was also a player bound to the system.
The God of Marriage had signed the red line for him.
That Japanese meal laid the foundation for the two to get to know each other. He and her had a great conversation, and they felt that they had met too late.
In the past, he could never imagine how he could have so many common topics with a girl?
In the private room blocked by a screen, Bai Sheng sat cross-legged on the tatami and pushed the plate of sweet shrimp sashimi to him.
She had painted light pink cherry blossoms on her nails, which were crystal clear under the light and looked particularly beautiful.
She asked him with a smile: "Are you really going to take me through the gold level? I don't have much ability. I relied on my brother to help me win. I'm a wimp."
"Then what special advantages do you have?"
"I... do you count luck? When it comes to finding clues, my intuition is more accurate. In some blind selections, the accuracy rate is also very high."
"Luck is also a kind of talent. That's good. As for other aspects, I can teach you slowly." Gu Mochi said casually, "Don't worry, it's just gold one, it's not that difficult."
"Oh, how much discount can you give me for the reward?"
He smiled: "Why don't I give you a free trial first, and you can see if I am qualified to be your teacher. I will also evaluate you and then set the price."
"OK!"
"Well, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
The rims of their cups touched lightly.
After working together to go through several gold levels and going on vacation together to get to know each other better, Gu Mochi and Bai Sheng felt that each other was very suitable for each other, so they simply confirmed their relationship.
Indeed, in this matter, both of them were very resolute.
Later, after a long time, when they were chatting, they accidentally revealed their thoughts at that time.
"Sister Ling always reminds me that this game is too cruel, and you may regret it at any time. It is better to fall in love as soon as possible, so as not to waste the happy time of enjoying love." Bai Sheng said, "Look, I was worried that I couldn't find a tall, handsome, capable and bound person, and you took the initiative to deliver it to my door."
"It turns out that I am just an accident. You would like someone else just as much."
"No, no, you can't understand it like that." Bai Sheng raised her eyes coquettishly and suddenly kissed him on the face, "The past is the past, and the present is now. Now you are the best boyfriend in the world in my heart. I don't love anyone else except you."
Gu Mochi raised his eyebrows in a rogue manner: "Then I have to make persistent efforts to consolidate my position in your heart. I can't let others take away the excellent girlfriend I cultivated with so much effort in the future."
"Oh, so you always think I am particularly excellent?"
Whenever she looked at him with a smile, her eyes were always sweet and charming, which made his heart tremble wildly.
His eyes gradually darkened, and he immediately controlled her restless little hands that tried to touch his abdominal muscles, and easily lifted her up and walked towards the bedroom.
He lowered his head and used his teeth to tear open the first collar button of her pajamas.
"Whether you are excellent or not, we will see your performance in the next gold game - now, let's discuss the issue of deepening our relationship."
"...Gu, you rascal!"
...
In the past few years, only Gu Mochi knew how fast Bai Sheng had improved.
He gave her the opportunity to experience, but he always stood behind her to protect her. He told her to be brave, calm, steady, accurate and ruthless, and to have confidence in herself. Her potential has not been tapped yet.
He gave Bai Sheng enough faith, making her believe that he would always be her solid backing, so she dared to move forward bravely and fearlessly.
She loved him and wanted to become stronger for him, strong enough to fight side by side with him, and would not drag him down in the slightest.
However, neither of them expected that when Bai Sheng really did it, it was also the time for them to separate.
In that platinum game, there were ten players, but when they reached the ninth level, only he and she were left.
The iron door leading to the level was embedded with a roulette wheel, and the rules were clearly engraved, allowing only one person to pass through.
There is no luck, no chance of turning around.
Bai Sheng stared at the roulette wheel, where the player's name card needs to be inserted, and the fate is determined by the movement of the pointer.
She felt desperate and laughed in sorrow: "I didn't expect that both of us are so lucky. Today we have to choose who is better."
Gu Mochi also laughed: "No need to choose, your luck will always be better than mine."
While saying this, the dagger in his hand had already stabbed deeply into his heart.
He used extremely hard, with a full determination to die. The dagger sank deep into the handle, and not even a drop of blood was shed.
To let her live, this has never been a choice for him.
He fell into Bai Sheng's arms, and heard her heart-wrenching cry in his ears. His consciousness gradually blurred, and even the pain began to numb.
He used up his last strength, grabbed her hand, and whispered in her ear.
"Shengsheng, I will leave all my luck in this life... to you..."
"Let's go, move forward, and don't look back..."
The promise was not fulfilled, and he could only protect her this way.
His beloved girl, who had smoothed his edges and softened his years, was a clear beam of light in his life from beginning to end.
He had no other wishes, only hoped that no matter how long the road was, this beam of light would always be bright.
In the system, after a player was eliminated and died, he would continue to wander in the game as a soul, without day, only night, repeating the same process endlessly.
Gu Mochi was the same.
He stayed in the wilderness, chatting and daydreaming with the other eight players who were eliminated in the same game. When the time was up, he started to clear the level, and then died one by one in the previous order.
Although "death" was just a formality, it was nothing more than reliving the scene of his own death, but the pain every time was real.
It was like walking through hell thousands of times.
Imprisoned here, everyone had no concept of time, could not see the end, and could not get relief.
Sometimes Gu Mochi sat on the top of a tree, looking at the cold moon in the sky, and always thought of the past.
I wonder if all my friends at that time have cleared the level now?
I hope they will always be safe and never have to endure this torture.
And his Shengsheng, the girl he was willing to protect with his life, was she doing well during his absence? Was she bullied in the platinum game?
The long loneliness and longing were the most difficult to endure, and he really wanted to see her again.
One night, the team of players who had always experienced reincarnation together suddenly lost one player without any warning, leaving only eight.
The missing player was called Xiang Ming. It was said that he was injured during the crossing process that year, and he couldn't bear to implicate his girlfriend in the next platinum game, so he secretly canceled the long-term binding contract and crossed this game alone.
He was eliminated in the third level.
But why did he disappear strangely? Where did he go? It was not
until a long time later that Gu Mochi got the answer.
At that time, he was still sitting on the top of the tree, pulling the leaves in a trance as usual, and suddenly felt dizzy, weightless, and his vision instantly fell into darkness.
... When he finally regained consciousness, he vaguely heard someone calling him.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu?"
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiang Ming standing in front of him. Next to Xiang Ming was a young woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The two of them were holding hands, obviously a couple.
He was stunned: "What are you doing?"
Xiang Ming smiled and said: "This is a parallel world specially set up by the system. Any player with a tombstone pattern engraved on the bottom of the pendant can rescue his companions who are trapped in a dead end and come here after signing the golden contract card."
Gu Mochi was surprised and suspicious. He looked around and found that this was indeed an ordinary town. Bicycles for transportation were neatly placed on the street. There were a full range of shops on both sides of the road, but no one was selling them, so they could be used by themselves.
There were many players coming in and out, most of them in pairs, and they looked very intimate.
Just now Xiang Ming said...tombstone.
So it seems that Xiang Ming's girlfriend cleared Platinum IV, signed the golden contract, and saved Xiang Ming here.
Since he can come here, does it mean that someone also saved him?
Xiang Ming's girlfriend added: "If you keep walking along this street, you will see the player's residential building - the room card is with the contract executor. Have you found your companion?"
Unexpectedly, before Gu Mochi could answer, he heard a familiar female voice behind him, with a smile.
"He found it, here."
"..."
Gu Mochi turned around suddenly.
Bai Sheng, holding a card, with short and handsome hair, a motorcycle-style suit and leather boots, was standing not far away with high spirits.
In her arms, she was still holding the black stuffed rabbit that she gave him many years ago.
The years of hardship have not diminished her beauty in the slightest, but she looks more and more proud and mature than before.
His little girl has grown into a real master.
Gu Mochi looked at her in disbelief, his eyes red, as if in a dream.
"Sheng... Shengsheng?"
Before the voice fell, Bai Sheng had already run up and threw herself into his arms.
She was clearly still smiling just now, but after hugging him so realistically, tears flowed down her face.
What handsomeness, what pride, what maturity, all are illusions, all collapsed on the spot.
She hung on him like a koala, hugged his neck tightly, and sobbed.
"Six years, you don't know how much grievance I have suffered in these six years... Mr. Gu, how are you going to compensate me!!!"
Xiang Ming patted Gu Mochi's shoulder, and reminded him with relief and sincerity.
"Mr. Gu, please coax her well. When I first came, I also coaxed my family for a long time."
Then he was dragged away by his girlfriend's ears.
Gu Mochi held back his tears and smiled softly. He lowered his eyes and kissed Bai Sheng, full of love and pity. He didn't know where to start with his heart, and finally only said one sentence.
"Shengsheng, I didn't expect that there would be such a day."
"As long as I'm alive, there will be such a day sooner or later."
"But you have to stay here with me forever in the future, you really..."
"I really don't regret it." Bai Sheng buried her face in his neck, muttering to herself in a coquettish tone, "It's nice here, and the tombstone pattern represents 'stillness'. Maybe the time calculation here is different from that in the real world. If it can be still forever, I can be with you for more years - if you calculate it, it's actually more profitable for me."
Just like the rising morning light spreading over the wilderness, the long-lost bitterness and warmth once again filled Gu Mochi's heart.
He felt that it was worth it.
He carefully put her down on the ground, and took her hand again, interlocking their fingers, unwilling to let go for a moment.
"Then... let's go home."
No matter what kind of life it is, it will eventually belong to your own life.
All the love, hate and separation in this world must have an ending.
This is the ending she wrote to him in her own handwriting, and he will cherish it.
The author has something to say: ※※The function of the tombstone is equivalent to the system opening up a separate town for the dead players, allowing them to live in a parallel world from now on※※
Tomorrow is the extra chapter of Bai Xiao×Ji Ling, and I will write the extra chapter of Yun Ge and Lan Mei last.
