Absolute Choice Chapter 68: : The star of the planet
Prince, United States, Wah Sangton, Box No. 250.
There is a burly blond man lying in the virtual stealth cabin. The man is wearing a short-sleeved tights and has barely exposed left arm muscles, but only half of his arms are on the right side of the body.
The blond man fell asleep and suddenly opened his eyes at a certain moment.
......
Thomas woke up from a virtual sneak, and immediately felt a strong sense of hunger in his stomach. His body was extremely stiff, and he slightly twisted his neck and made a "creak".
Looking sideways at the timetable on the stealth compartment, I couldn't help but grin.
"Twenty hours."
Even though the homeowner's settings were canceled very early, the one-minute pre-war preparation time was cancelled, but more than a thousand battles were played, and the little guy was "reprimanded" for a long time, but it eventually cost Twenty hours.
This is the first time Thomas has been sneaking in the virtual world for twenty hours. He is physically and mentally exhausted, but for some reason power is constantly coming from his chest.
"Shi Xiaobai, this name seems to be a Xia countryman."
Thomas said to himself, crawling out of the stealth cabin, the table had been prepared for a long time, and the food was almost cold, but he was not fussy when he was hungry for twenty hours. A piece of steak bit into his mouth and chewed quickly.
Put down the fork and pour a glass of valuable red wine with your only left hand. Sip a bite and taste slightly mellow, but this time it was inexplicably bitter.
"This bottle of wine is worth a person."
Thomas sighed.
The bounty that an f-class rewarding criminal can receive in exchange for a person's head can only buy one bottle of such wine.
Those heroes who claim to be righteous but are not willing to risk their lives to fight the disaster and the monsters and beasts use the monthly salary of heroes to support their families, so the money for wine is naturally used by these criminals People in exchange.
Rewarding criminals is evil.
Destroy the evil, change a few bottles of red wine, this is ... very heroic.
"It turns out that the taste of red wine is bitter."
Thomas puts down his glass, suddenly pulls out his mobile phone, and touches the screen with a few clicks to enter the address book page. His finger is hovering gently over a certain name.
Hesitated for a moment, then pressed it down.
It was a number that hadn't been called for 20 years. He thought he would never try to dial it again in his life.
"Beep ... beep ... beep ..."
The regular bell sounds like his heartbeat at the moment.
"Hey, who?"
The next second after the call was connected, a more mature, but still gentle, magnetic sound passed into the eardrum, and Thomas's breath paused slightly.
"It's me, Thomas."
Thomas's voice was suddenly dry, and his throat, which had been moistened with red wine, made such a nearly hoarse voice.
“Ha, it ’s a primary school brother. It ’s been a long time since I ’ve been in contact. It ’s been 20 years, right?”
There was a little surprise and joy in the voice over the phone.
"Well, twenty years, Arris, senior."
Thomas murmured in his heart. To be precise, it was twenty years, one month, plus seven days.
......
He once attended the same school as Aris.
At that time, Aris was just a funny senior who was ridiculed by his classmates for practicing Crab Steps, and he was a naive elementary school boy behind Aris.
One day, he said to Aris: "Senior, someday I will surpass you."
Aris replied with a smile: "Then I have to run faster. I'll be caught up by my elementary school brother. It will feel shameless!"
Thomas thought that if Aris continued to use the crab step stubbornly, he would sooner or later surpass Aris.
After graduation, the two of them joined different heroic organizations and started their own lives, but their deep friendship made them contact each other often, met often, compared with the latest situation, and then chased each other.
However, the two intersecting lines finally separated one day twenty years ago and no longer intersect.
On that day, the 25-year-old Thomas lost his right hand in the rescue of the meteor shower, and lost his proud right-handed gun.
Twenty-seven-year-old Aris, in that meteor shower rescue, elevated the crab step to the "unique world" realm and was praised as a genius who shocked the world.
After that day, Thomas can no longer catch up with Aris, and soon, even the back can't be seen.
.....
"How are you, OK?"
Aris's soft greetings pulled Thomas back from his thoughts of memories, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He who lost his right hand, in addition to relying on the seventh floor of Spiritual Realm to kill some low-level reward prisoners, can only be in the virtual world Experiencing a false satisfaction with his right hand, so he lived ... would it be okay?
"Well, it's been a good life," Thomas answered softly.
The phone groaned and fell silent.
Thomas breathed out and said suddenly: "I called you this time because I met a little guy ... he looks a lot like you."
"Oh? Tell me."
"Well, that's a Xia Guoshi named Shi Xiaobai. He uses crab steps like you, oh, that funny look reminds me ... remember ..."
Thomas had a fishbone in his throat, and his words were stuck for a moment before he continued: "He uses the crab step like you, and he says the sentence you used to say, he says he likes to fail ... "
"The hero Wushuang, the senior should have heard of it, um, a ... meaningless game ... I met him in that game ..."
"Well, you're right, I was a dog abuser ... well, I admit it, a lot of times ..."
"Senior, this is not the point, the point is that the little guy was shot by me ... now, I admit that the abuse of vegetables is meaningless, and you don't have to laugh so exaggeratedly ..."
"And the point is not that he was a headshot, but that he didn't quit the game ... what? You said he was stupid? Yeah, he's a fool ... but, not a normal fool ..."
"..."
Time is passing by, and the call between them has been going on unconsciously for more than an hour.
Thanks to all kinds of troubles of Thomas, Thomas worked hard to tell the story of his encounter in Heroes Warriors. He concluded: "In short, I feel that he is very similar to you. Of course, this may be due to 'The teasing in the world is just as silly', so the illusion is generated. "
On the other side of the phone, after hearing this nonsense teasing, Aris suddenly fell silent.
"Senior, I have said this for so long. Do you always have a feeling?"
Thomas naturally complained that he had been sneaking for twenty hours, and should be exhausted, but Thomas felt strangely sober and inexplicably excited.
"You mean, the little guy named Shi Xiaobai failed more than a thousand times and was still fighting?" Aris said suddenly.
"Hmm!" A smile appeared in the corner of Thomas' mouth.
"Scolded by your poisonous tongue hundreds of times and you can continue?" Aris continued to ask.
"Hmm!" Thomas added a slight tone of voice.
"Misguided by your cheating theory, can you still understand the essence of God's crab?" Aris's voice was incredible.
"Hmm ... what? What is cheating theory? Well ... I admit that my theory doesn't sound very practical ... but practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Shi Xiaobai proved me Correctness. "Thomas could not hide the smile in his voice.
"Hehe ... you said he realized that the crab phantom is also true?"
"Hmm!"
"It's true to force you to use a ghost gun?"
"Hmm!"
"Is the last arrogant monologue true?"
"Hmm!"
"Alien Thomas," Well, is this the universal language of your planet? "
"Hmm!"
As soon as Thomas finished speaking, he was n’t aware of it right away, and suddenly he was full of black lines. He said, "Senior, do you know how old you are now?"
Aris grinned, and suddenly fell silent again, and then said: "Thomas, you say that child is like me, isn't it?"
Thomas whispered: "Yes, he reminds me of you once."
"You are wrong, Thomas."
Thumb up Thomas, wrong? It turned out that was just his wishful thinking?
Aris said suddenly, "Do you know how many times I challenged the teacher?"
As soon as Thomas stayed, he only remembered many, many, many times, but he didn't know how many times Aris was defeated in the teacher's hands.
"Fifty-one! Only fifty-one!"
Aris said the answer herself.
Is it fifty-one? Compared with that guy's more than a thousand times, it seems ...
No!
"No, that's not the same. You challenge the teacher to be seriously injured every time he fails, and that little guy can fail once in tens of seconds, and in the virtual world, he doesn't have to bear the physical pain ... he ... "
Thomas hastily tried to analyze the difference between the virtual world and reality. He wanted to make it clear that simple numbers could not represent the weight of failure.
"I gave up on my own! Thomas, at the fifty-first time, I chose to give up on my own!"
Aris interrupted Thomas suddenly and said loudly: "I have always regretted that I chose to give up. If I continue to challenge and fail a hundred times or two hundred times, if I can endure the failure continuously, then I I can train the crab step to 'Don't have the world' earlier. On the day of 20 years ago, I might be able to ... protect your right hand ... but I don't ... the reality is, I am in fifty-one times I chose to give up when I failed! "
"Aris!"
"Thomas! I said I like failure ... that's not true, I hate failure more than anyone ... I can tolerate fifty-one failures just because of me ... more than anyone else desires success. However, my limit is just ... just fifty-one! "
"Aris ..."
"Do you understand? Thomas, that little guy is not like me, he ... obviously better than me."
"A ... ri ... s"
"Thomas, do you hate me?"
"Asia ..."
Thomas has choked the three words that he couldn't say completely. His left hand trembled and covered his phone with his ear, so he lost his right hand, and no other hand could wipe the tears on the cheek.
"Thomas, come to my house when you have time, um, just tonight, your sister-in-law's cooking is really nothing to say, I let her prepare your favorite braised pork."
"Hmm ..."
"Oh, Thomas, you really are a star from the planet."
"Hmm."
