After you pass the game

Chapter 1 Toast to the Great Player

"It's almost over..."

Qiu Yuan put down the handle in his hand and moved his shoulders, then looked at himself in armor on the computer screen, and the girl standing quietly by the side, and decided to fill his stomach first.

The game Qiuyuan played just now was called "Elden's Ring", which was another masterpiece of Miyazaki's old thief who fell to the altar.

As a senior player, Qiu Yuan has cleared this game several times, and won the platinum trophy on the PS5 platform early.

But the "Ring of Elden" that Qiuyuan is playing now is somewhat "slightly different" from the original version.

Equally peculiar is the PS5 that Qiu Yuan is currently controlling.

The peculiarity of this PS5 is that... its game store can actually search for game masterpieces on the NS platform and the XBOX platform.

This made Qiu Yuan wonder if he was playing a cracked version of PS5.

But not only Yusanjia's masterpiece Qiu Yuan can play freely, these game masterpieces also have many differences from Qiu Yuan's impression.

The most intuitive feeling is that the world in the game seems to have become more vivid, and the difficulty is several times higher than the original version.

Mainly in the enemy, the BOSS has more tricks and smarter, more like a 'living opponent'.

NPCs have also become more lively, to give the most intuitive example...

It is the NPC Melina who has been following the player in "Eirden's Ring", known as the wooden man, and what the fuck.

Under normal circumstances, when players talk to her, she really doesn’t want to say more than three sentences, or it’s Queen Malika’s proverb repeater. From the beginning of the game to the completion of the level, she can’t say a few words related to herself and the player. lines.

But in this "Elden Ring", Melina seems to have her own soul. When Qiu Yuan calls her out to chat, she can choose a lot of weird options.

She can also answer Qiu Yuan with a very cold attitude.

However, no matter how difficult the game is, it is not a problem for Qiu Yuan, an ultra-hardcore player whose end point in any game is a 'world speedrunning record'.

On the contrary, it is a pleasure for Qiu Yuan that the bosses have more moves and are more difficult to deal with.

But a game is a game after all, not a meal.

Qiu Yuan clutched his hungry stomach, put down the handle and stood up, went to the kitchen and picked up a piece of potato on the kitchen stove.

"Can I only eat this today?"

Qiu Yuan suppressed the feeling of nausea, and glanced out of the window through the kitchen.

The scenery outside the window is a lush forest, except for a small courtyard used by Qiu Yuan for sports, there is no trace of human habitation.

Since Qiuyuan came to this strange cabin in a coma... almost a full year has passed.

During this year, Qiu Yuan has been trapped in a cabin in the deep mountains.

It would be fine if Qiu Yuan was simply trapped in the deep mountains, but at worst, if Qiu Yuan gets tired of living there, he can come to the wilderness to survive and find a way to go down the mountain to find someone for help.

But the strange thing is... Qiu Yuan was not trapped in the deep mountains, but was artificially imprisoned in this deep mountain wooden house.

There are three proofs of captivity.

One is that Qiuyuan will receive a box of ingredients every morning. Although there are only two kinds of food in the ingredients, potatoes and rice, at least the quantity is enough... It can guarantee Qiuyuan's daily meal.

The second is that this wooden house will always be supplied with electricity, running water, and gas. Although Qiuyuan has never been able to find the source of these electricity, running water, and gas, at least the owner of the house does not charge Qiuyuan for utility bills.

There is a 'suggestion box' in the three-wood house, and Qiuyuan can put what he wants into the suggestion box...

Although only a small number of needs will be met, such as daily necessities such as wanting a toothbrush and wanting a pillow.

But something like... 'Set me free! ''Stop giving me potatoes every day!Let's have some meat!You can't be a loving father, can you? 'None of these demands can be met.

So Qiu Yuan can be sure that he is imprisoned, not just imprisoned...

The pervert who imprisoned himself might still be spying on him in some way, keeping an eye on his movements.

"One year is enough for you to imprison me, right?!"

After Qiu Yuan saw that he was eating potatoes again today, he couldn't help but yelled into the room.

"I don't care if you are doing a reality show, or just a psychopath who likes to enjoy this kind of captivity PLAY! But you know it's against the law?!"

To be honest, Qiu Yuan's time this year has been really... justified.

After all, it is accompanied by a PS5 game console that can be played on three platforms, plus a lot of more lively game masterpieces.

Let alone a year, relying on these games, I can live alone for ten years, but the most critical problem is...

"There is also a crime! Can you give me some meat!"

Qiu Yuan held up the potato in his hand and yelled towards the window.

"Eat potatoes, eat rice! This person is going to eat something wrong, you know! I'm not an extreme vegetarian! If you don't give me some meat... I will... I will... I seem to be fine I can't help it, let's eat first..."

"Try making buttered potatoes today."

Although Qiuyuan has infinite resentment in his heart, his character of being too socially fearful still makes Qiuyuan only compromise.

But Qiu Yuan still scolded those perverts who imprisoned him ten thousand times in his heart...

I don't know how psychopathic those guys are...to do such a heinous act?It feels more psychopathic than the golf killer!
When Qiu Yuan was peeling the potatoes, he secretly swore in his heart...

When he has a chance to bump into those guys who imprisoned him, Qiu Yuan will definitely blow their brains with the potatoes in his hand!

………………

At the same time, in the world of Elden's Circle...

"Master Fade? My king?"

The "fireproof girl" Melina, who has been following Qiuyuan's game character for a long time, squatted quietly beside Qiuyuan's avatar in the game and softly called Qiuyuan's title in this world.

But Qiuyuan didn't respond. Melina had never heard Qiuyuan's voice as a player, but Qiuyuan would always ask her a lot of weird questions with optional text.

For example, 'What is your relationship with Higuchi Enka? ''Have you ever thought that if you have been so indifferent to me, you will regret it for the rest of your life? ''If you don't think about it, I will let you experience it! (frenzy)'

Although these questions have always troubled Melina, but considering that Qiu Yuan has been King of Elden four times in a row, Melina will still answer them patiently.

But now no matter how Melina asked Qiu Yuan, Qiu Yuan didn't respond.

Obviously at this time she and Qiuyuan were already on the edge of the giant cauldron, Melina wanted to know whether Zhoumu Qiuyuan planned to use her as firewood to burn the World Tree, or whether Qiuyuan planned to burn himself.

It's a pity that half an hour passed, and Qiu Yuan was still sitting there motionless.

Melina knew that the great warrior in heavy armor in front of her was just Qiu Yuan's body in this world, and his soul and consciousness had temporarily left.

Usually, all Melina can do is wait for Qiu Yuan to return, but today a little accident happened.

Things that don't belong to the world of Elden's Ring of Law appear in front of the Fireproof Woman.

A light blue portal, this portal seems to be calling for Melina.

Melina knew that she shouldn't leave her post when the player left, but she felt the breath of Qiu Yuan, the person she served, in the portal.

"My king?"

Melina called again tentatively, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and she got up and walked into the light blue portal.

When her leather boots stepped on the cold ground, Melina found herself in an unfamiliar forest.

This forest is shrouded in darkness everywhere, only an old wooden house not far away exudes a warm light.

Attracted by the warm light, Melina walked slowly towards the old cabin.

When she pushed the cabin away, the light inside instantly brightened.

Melina could clearly feel that this was a wooden house protected by magical inscriptions.

And Melina could vaguely hear the noisy voices behind the cabin.

"You need to pay to get in."

At the entrance a beautiful brunette sits behind the bar with a black cat in her arms.

Melina smelled purple currants and cloves on her.

money?
Melina didn't have the concept of money, but when she walked to the bar of the black-haired beauty, she found that the 'money' paid by the visitors to this cabin was also strange.

There are the most common gold coins, US dollars, and Japanese yen, but there are more emeralds, a red magic stone with a distorted face, bottle caps, and a jumping red mushroom.

Melina felt the breath of these currencies, and she understood what the 'money' she needed to pay was.

"Is this... enough?"

A small poke of light golden gold fragments appeared in Melina's hand, which is exactly the currency 'Run' in Elden's Ring

"You also use the power of the soul to trade? It seems that he really likes this kind of world, but at least it is more reliable than bottle caps. Go in." The black-haired beauty pointed out the way for Melina.

Melina walked along this corridor to the end and pushed open a wooden door, only to realize that it seemed to be a tavern.

But who owns this tavern?What are these people gathering here for?
When Melina was wondering about this, an old voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

"When my wife and daughter died at my hands because of the conspiracy of Ares, he was the one who guided my anger and witnessed that my anger burned the entire Mount Olympus. With my help, I killed the gods of Athens that caused all these tragedies. After that, I was also very fortunate to come to Northern Europe with him, and met my wife Fei... Traveled to the Nine Worlds with my child Atreus, experienced After so many adventures...he was the one who taught me how to be a god."

The owner of the old voice was a man who seemed to have experienced vicissitudes of life. He had a scarlet tattoo extending from his head to his feet, which was both an honor and a shackle and brand.

The man he was talking to was a man with wolf eyes and white hair who could also be described by the word vicissitudes. Besides, there were several other men sitting around with the word 'tough guy' written on their faces. that table.

"Our experiences are very similar. I also fought all the way from Novigrad to Toussaint under his guidance. He and I repelled the wild hunt side by side, thwarted the conspiracy of the mirror master, and... In any case, it is thanks to him that I can retire with my daughter in Toussaint's manor."

The man with white hair and wolf eyes also sighed in a low voice.

So who is he?

Although Melina vaguely guessed the answer in her heart, she couldn't fully confirm it.

"It's a pity that I'm not as lucky as you. None of my comrades survived that war. Xiaoqiang, Ghost... died of the betrayal of that bastard Shelfield, and Soap also died of Makarov. hand, but he guided me to take revenge... I still remember the dagger stabbing into the chest of that bastard in Sheffield, and the way Makarov was strangled to death, he gave me a chance to take revenge." One smoked said the old man in military uniform with a cigar.

Melina quietly listened to the narration at that table, and heard more epic stories.

"When Ellie was in Firefly, he was the one who yelled and told me...not to hand Ellie to them."

"I also killed that bastard Micah with him."

"When the Templars killed my family..."

"When the entire phantom thief group is in danger..."

"It is he who has been guiding us at the most critical moment, fighting side by side with us to the end, and saving the world we live in countless times."

When Melina heard this, she could already guess who they were talking about... So Melina read the name softly.

The true name of the Lord Faded One she serves, the great Lord Elden...

"Qiu Yuan."

When Melina pronounced this name, the enthusiasm of the people in the tavern seemed to be ignited. They all raised their glasses to the people they admired, maybe they were comrades who fought side by side with them, or gave them guidance. A tribute to the leader of the direction of life, or the lover with the deepest emotion.

Perhaps everyone in the tavern called him differently, Demon Hunter, Blue Star, Head of the Phantom Thieves, Lord Ashes, Old Father, but he has a common name in the tavern...

That is…

A toast to the greatest player Qiu Yuan.
