Chapter 5: Silver-haired Boy
"Blazing Front" is a popular online real-time combat game with a variety of modes to choose from. It utilizes advanced technology, allowing avatars to simulate over 90% of the original character's data and synchronize combat experience with the original character. Playing the game simultaneously improves your own strength, resulting in widespread popularity and rave reviews.
She stroked her chin in thought.
Choose a team and fight well. As long as your teammates don't drag you down, killing 30 enemies is not a problem. Even if you encounter weird teammates and fail to complete the weekly task, you will still complete today's daily task.
She walked towards the specially designated game room. In the center of the room stood a game cabin, which emitted a faint blue light and had smooth and graceful lines. It was made of the most advanced technological materials.
This is the new gaming console she spent a huge amount of money to buy. It can restore the real feeling of the human body to the greatest extent, reaching more than 97%. The official sales volume is limited to 500,000 units. She had been keeping an eye on the official website and finally got it.
Although she could play it directly with a light brain, the experience was a world away, just like the Stargazing Party and the State Banquet in her previous life. She didn't want to put herself in a difficult position in such matters.
Shi Chu walked to the cool-looking game cabin and lightly touched the button on the cabin door. The door slowly slid open, and soft light poured out from inside.
She entered the game cabin and adjusted her lying position to make herself more comfortable, with her body fitting tightly against the cushions inside. She closed the cabin door, closed her eyes, and began to connect to the star network to enter the game.
[The game is connecting, simulation synchronization rate is 57...76...100%, loading completed.]
Dear players, "Help me up, I can still grind!" Welcome to "Blazing Front."
Shichu opened her eyes and found that she had entered the game and was now standing in the central square of the game.
There were many huge holographic screens standing around, on which various game scenes and exciting battle scenes were constantly scrolling, which was dazzling.
The square was bustling with people, with players of all shapes and sizes wandering around. Some were towering, nearly three meters tall, others were adorable, and some had dazzling, multicolored hair. They wore a variety of clothing, some ornate and exquisite, some simple and elegant, showcasing their unique styles and personalities.
Players could create their own game character images in "Burning Front", but they couldn't be too outrageous. The official would review the character images created by players, and those that were too weird would be directly banned.
At first, she sculpted a handsome man of 1.8 meters tall and long legs according to her own preferences. He had fair skin, beautiful looks, and a well-proportioned body.
Unfortunately, she later discovered that although the appearance of the character could be freely created in the game, if the image of the game character was different from the original, some behaviors would be affected by the original.
Even when you were in the game, the instinctive reactions and behavioral patterns that you had developed over a long period of time would still subconsciously appear in the game, which was an indelible mark.
That body was unable to adapt to some of her original body's habits and always failed in battle, so she abandoned it later.
She changed back to her original appearance, and apart from painting her eyes red, she didn't bother to do anything else.
Shi Chu took a look at the system update announcement and found that new items were available in the fashion mall.
It's still early, let's go for a stroll.
...
In a villa on the main planet Xilia, a young man with silver hair was lazily lying on a spacious and luxurious sofa.
The slender body was stretched casually, and the silver hair was scattered messily on the sofa.
His eyes were half open and half closed, his gaze wandering and unfocused, as if he had no interest in anything around him.
One hand drooped over the edge of the sofa, fingers tapping unconsciously, making intermittent sounds. The other hand held the remote control, constantly switching channels on the huge holographic projection screen in the living room.
"The game user you are particularly interested in, 'Help Me Up, I Can Still Grind', is now online."
An abrupt prompt sounded from the optical computer bracelet on his wrist.
The young man suddenly sat up from the sofa, his eyes slightly narrowed, his eyes full of interest, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a sly smile.
The boy stood up and walked towards the game room, but suddenly stopped halfway and turned around to shout to somewhere behind him: "Hey, the person I told you about last night, the gamer who I said seemed very special, is online. Do you want to go and take a look?"
No one answered behind him.
The boy frowned impatiently.
"Don't pretend. You and I have always liked the same things since we were little. I'm sure you'll be interested in her too." Then he ran straight to the game room without looking back. "If you want to come, come quickly. Don't let her get away."
In front of the huge floor fan in the living room, a young man was standing quietly. His figure seemed a little hazy in the soft light, and his silver hair fluttered gently, as if flowing with moonlight.
He slowly turned around, and his face was exactly the same as the young man who had just spoken.
...
In the fashion street of the game, Shichu had already reached the accessories area. She had looked in so many places, but nothing satisfied her.
Her eyes quickly swept over each piece of jewelry, but always moved away quickly after a brief pause.
She wondered if she had spent too much time on this, and was about to leave when an inconspicuous little display case in the corner caught her attention.
She walked over curiously and carefully scanned every ornament on the display case.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. She finally found something to close her eyes.
It was a silver earring that looked like a dragon with its huge and gorgeous wings spread out.
The tips of the wings were slightly raised, radiating a sharp edge, as if ready to soar into the air at any moment. Each scale on the wings was meticulously carved, and the dark patterns shimmered with a faint, cold light.
On the evil dragon's head, there was an eye made of ruby, flashing with a fiery and wild light. The dragon's fangs were sharp and pointed, with a bit of mystery and cold dominance.
The entire ear cuff was made with exquisite craftsmanship, and every detail was handled flawlessly.
Shichu nodded in satisfaction. Although she liked beautiful jewelry, she didn't like piercing her body. The ear cuff was just right.
She stretched out her right hand to take it out and examine it carefully.
Just then.
A hand suddenly stretched out from behind her. The hand was white and slender, like a carefully carved work of art.
Then, it reached straight forward and took out the ear cuff with an elegant and decisive gesture.
Shi Chu stood there in a daze, frowning slightly and about to say something.
A familiar voice sounded beside her ear: "Do you like this?"
A gentle breath sprayed on her earlobe. She covered her ears uncomfortably, quickly took a step to the side to distance herself from the other person, and turned to look at the person who came.
