How to Easily Capture a Long Aotian [Quick Transmigration] 104

Chapter 104: Sword Light and Blade Shadow ①

As soon as “World” was released, it quickly caused a strong reaction from many parties. The high degree of freedom and realistic scenes attracted players from all walks of life to try it out.

Because some players were too engrossed, and even forgot to replenish their supplies, which was harmful to their health, the project team had to activate the health and anti-addiction system. In these few days, the complaint hotline had been blown up.

After Chen Shizhou had been out of contact for two days and one night, Yu Lin came to the company to check the situation.

The programmers had dark circles under their eyes, and they patiently explained the situation to the family member.

“Yes, a small world has a bug, and the plot character has lost contact. The boss has logged in to repair it, but the plotline of that world is too chaotic, and he has also lost contact with us. We can only identify that all his vital signs are normal, and there are no problems.”

“What small world?” Under the grand background of “World,” each small world existed independently, but different players would play out different story endings.

The game could be played in single-player mode, or you could choose to play with a partner. Chen Shizhou had chosen the single-player mode, and the others did not have the authority to enter before he logged out.

Except for one person. His partner, who shared his authority.

The programmer was stunned for a moment, and his gaze fell on the young man who was quietly looking at the screen.

Yu Lin was one of the first internal test players, and his level in the game was very high. He had provided a lot of valuable experience in the past.

The composition of “World” was special, and the content was very active. Besides the hard bugs in the code, the troubles caused by the plot characters, this kind of high-level player was more useful than the programmers.

But even if he was a family member, and he was asking for help, he still had to refer to the player’s own wishes. To catch a bug, it would not be good to disrupt their own arrangements.

“No problem. I’ll go in and take a look.” After the programmer had finished explaining, Yu Lin looked at the marker on the screen, which was moving rapidly but was not sending out any content, and he nodded in agreement.

In the vast expanse of the Gobi Desert, the wind and sand whistled, accompanied by the clatter of horse hooves.

This desert was located near a border city, close to the Jade Gate Pass. Outside the pass was an endless expanse of rolling yellow sand, while inside the pass was a border town with a completely different charm.

The sesame seed cakes on the street, after being roasted, emitted a fragrant aroma. Even the world-renowned Jade-carving Young Master couldn’t help but twitch his nose.

“Brother Yu, would you like one? The sesame seed cakes here are crispy and fragrant, the most authentic.” He turned his head and asked the person who was half a step behind him.

The person he was asking was tall and slender, with an unparalleled appearance. He was in a green robe, like the misty rain falling from the courtyard walls of Jiangnan. He didn’t look like a martial artist, but more like a teacher from a school.

But the Jade-carving Lad had personally seen him sitting in a teahouse, with a faint smile, and the sound of his flute was soughing and melancholy. A single flying flower had injured someone, and the troublemaking bandits had been so scared that they had fled. That demeanor was even more captivating than the world-renowned Jade-carving Lad.

The two of them had met in the splendid and prosperous city of Anling. The surroundings were bustling with traffic at dusk. The very curious Xie Zhuoyu had immediately gone up to make friends with him.

Yu Lin had a very good personality. Although he had just come down from the mountain and was not very familiar with this area, he was still extraordinary and very polite. Xie Zhuoyu had become even more interested, and he had gone up to ask and had only then learned that this reclusive master had come down the mountain to look for someone.

Xie Zhuoyu had asked him who he was looking for. He himself was the world-renowned Jade-carving Young Master, and he loved fine wine and making friends. He had friends all over the world, so perhaps he knew him.

The person in front of him was stunned for a moment, but he had gently shaken his head and had said, “I don’t know.” He seemed a little sad, and after he had shaken his head, he had added, “I will recognize him when I see him.”

Xie Zhuoyu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had touched upon a sad matter of his new friend. He tactfully stopped speaking and only said, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you with this.”

The martial world was like this, full of spirit and loyalty, and a single cup of wine could bring about a soaring heroic spirit.

Yu Lin smiled and raised his glass, and he clinked it with Xie Zhuoyu’s. “Thank you.”

The martial world was too big, and there were countless shining prodigies. There was no fixed protagonist. Yu Lin didn’t know where Chen Shizhou was, or what identity he was using.

But he was not worried. The martial world was very big. As long as they met, they would definitely be able to recognize each other.

.

Yu Lin sent the problem he had encountered to the project team, and he soon received a reply.

Because it was a test and investigation, and he was worried that preconceived notions would affect his judgment, Chen Shizhou had not entered the game with his memory. He had just created an identity related to the bug. His whereabouts could not be determined, but he could provide the bug’s coordinates to Yu Lin.

The problematic character was an important character in the martial arts series “In the Bright Moon,” Li Zhan.

The bright moon was high in the sky, and its light was scattered in the wind and waves. The Moon-bright Lad, Li Zhan, was handsome, and his martial arts were superb. His swordsmanship was superb. As soon as he had entered the world, he had gone to the Liujin Altar alone, had rescued the forty-eight young girls who had been abducted, and had solved the world-renowned Liujin Altar case.

From then on, the world was shaken. The heroes had taken him as a confidant, and the beauties of the flower houses had taken him as a guest. The Moon-bright Lad’s romantic reputation was almost comparable to that of the world-renowned senior, the Jade-carving Lad, from more than ten years ago.

Seeing this, Yu Lin looked up and glanced at Xie Zhuoyu, who was holding a sesame seed cake in front of the sesame seed cake stall and was hissing from the heat, and he continued to read.

But it was this Moon-bright Lad, who was as bright as the wind and as clear as the moon in the eyes of the world, who was actually a complete madman. The plot had only been revealed after it had been peeled back layer by layer. Many of the seemingly inhumane and shocking cases had actually been planned by him.

The reason was unknown.

Several batches of players had been affected. Although they were not in the same story series as him, they were in the same martial world, and they had still been affected by his actions, and they had died tragically.

The character’s danger level had exceeded the normal standard, and it had seriously affected the players’ experience, so it needed to be repaired.

But what his obsession was, was still unknown.

It was only known that he had an unusual relationship with the holy maiden of the Liujin Altar, Lin Yan’er. The people of the martial world had once seen him walk out of Lin Yan’er’s room covered in scars, and they had guessed that they had a deformed relationship.

Yu Lin closed the martial arts rumors in his hand, and he was at a loss for words for once. The rumors were all from the mouths of onlookers, and no one knew the specific situation.

And no matter what the rumors were… this was also fifteen years ago, in the era of the Jade-carving Lad. Xie Zhuoyu, as the successor of the Cold River Sword, was unparalleled in the world, and his personality was unrestrained. He had not yet disappeared without a reason eight years later and had become a legend of the martial world.

At this time, besides accompanying Yu Lin to the Huangsha Town to look for someone, he was also looking for an old friend.

“You also have a friend here?” In the end, he had been enthusiastically stuffed with a sesame seed cake. Yu Lin had broken off a small piece and had put it in his mouth, and it was very delicious.

“Of course.” Xie Zhuoyu’s features were flying, and he touched his chin. “A sworn brother. Big Brother Li’s blade cuts through the waves, and his loyalty is unparalleled. When we were young, we traveled the world together. I didn’t have enough experience in the martial world, and I was always making enemies. It was all thanks to Big Brother Li for helping me out.”

“Otherwise, I don’t know where I would have died.” Xie Zhuoyu chuckled and shook his fan. “But my sister-in-law doesn’t like a life of fighting. Later, they retired, and now they have a son and a daughter, and the older one is already eight.”

Xie Zhuoyu turned his fan, and two pieces of extremely high-quality jade pendants fell down. He looked at Yu Lin with a smile. “They’re hiding in the desert, and they don’t see people easily. I’ve specially brought a meeting gift.”

A swordsman with the surname Li…? Yu Lin was stunned for a moment, and he took out the few words of the martial arts rumors again. He found that fifteen years later, what Li Zhan was famous for was not his saber skills, but his swordsmanship. He suddenly had a bad feeling.

He looked at Xie Zhuoyu, who was smiling and was full of joy because he was about to see his old friend. After a moment of silence, he said to him, “I suddenly feel that we should find them as soon as possible.”

Xie Zhuoyu was confused, but he had always been responsive to his friends’ requests. He immediately agreed, and the two of them went to the inn to get their horses, and then they left the city. The rolling yellow sand of the town gradually faded away in the sound of horse hooves.

The swordsman and his wife, in order to avoid the martial world, had been constantly changing their location, even in the vast desert.

The last time Xie Zhuoyu had communicated with them was half a year ago. When he had arrived at the location in the letter, and after a lot of effort, he had only found traces of their past life in a few abandoned houses.

A thick layer of dust was on the table. This place had not been inhabited for a long time, and there were scattered objects on the ground, which indicated that the owner had left in a hurry. In this scene, even the optimistic Xie Zhuoyu couldn’t help but have a serious expression.

He held the jade pendant in his palm and said in a low voice, “Brother Yu, this place is desolate. I’ll have to trouble you to split up with me. If you find them… we can meet at the Huangsha Town.”

As soon as they had fought, he had known that Yu Lin was a peerless master. If this new friend was willing to help, if… if something really happened, the swordsman’s family would have a greater chance of survival.

Yu Lin looked at him and nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

Because of his rich scientific knowledge, Yu Lin’s chances of finding someone in the desert were greater than the native Xie Zhuoyu.

Even so, it was not until the stars were all over the sky that he had found the dying swordsman in a dilapidated courtyard.

Unlike the him in Xie Zhuoyu’s memory, he was no longer the unrestrained martial artist with a mottled beard.

In these years, he was like an ordinary man who had been blown through by the wind and sand. He was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, and his hair was full of white, and his eyes were as placid as a lake.

He was undoubtedly a master. The courtyard was full of the bodies of men in black, but he was also undoubtedly just a person. Too many assassins had exhausted his strength, and his body was full of bloody holes. He could no longer hold on.

The wind at night was very cold. Behind him was a boy who had been blown through by the cold wind. His eyes were as fierce as a wolf, and he would not leave his side for a moment.

Their similar faces silently told of their identity. Seeing Yu Lin, the swordsman’s eyes did not have any emotional change, and he just asked, “Who sent you?”

The father and son looked over together.

Yu Lin then told them, “Xie Zhuoyu.”

Yu Lin was very young, and he was so quiet that he did not look like a swordsman, but more like a teacher. But he was casually holding a leaf, and without turning his head, he had accurately killed the assassin who had rushed up from behind.

The next wave of assassins had not yet arrived, and the courtyard was very quiet. The man heard this name and suddenly smiled. The corners of his lips only curled up a little, but at this time, he suddenly had a little of the look of the Big Brother Li in Xie Zhuoyu’s mouth.

He looked at Yu Lin and said, “Thank you.” Then he pushed the boy behind him, pulled him out, and said in a deep voice, “Kneel down.”

The boy’s eyes were full of tears, and the fists hanging by his side were tightly clenched. Then he knelt on the ground with a thud. “Dad!”

The swordsman touched his head. “Live on. Don’t take revenge.”

His injuries were too serious, and Yu Lin’s arrival seemed to have finally let him rest. After he had finished, he had begun to vomit blood in large mouthfuls, accompanied by blood clots and internal organs, which was shocking.

In the end, he had closed the boy’s eyes, and with his last bit of internal energy, he had pushed the boy out, and he had closed the door, and he had not let the boy see him about to die.

The boy’s hands were tightly clenched, and he was staring in his direction.

Yu Lin was stunned for a moment, and the boy by his side was gritting his teeth. He found that he had strangely triggered a special plotline.
