Shadow monk of online game

Chapter 316

Lin Mei's home was in a small town about two hours' drive away from the city, so Lu Ping called a taxi and went straight there.

On the way, she asked about her father's condition. It turned out that Lao Lin had a history of stomach pain for seven or eight years. Because his family was not very well-off, he didn't think stomach trouble was a big problem. I took a look at the health center in the small town, but I didn't go to the big hospital for a thorough examination.This time the pain was terrible, and relatives and friends sent him to the hospital for examination. He was suspected to have stomach cancer, so Lin Mei panicked—everyone would be terrified when they heard the word "cancer".

It was around seven o'clock in the morning, and there were not many cars on the road after leaving the city. The taxi drove all the way and arrived at the destination in less than two hours. The two went straight to the hospital.

Lao Lin was leaning on the hospital bed. He looked less than 50 years old, and he looked like a kind and straightforward person. Although he was a little thin, he was in good spirits, just like a normal person.Lin Mei's mother was sitting on the side, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, she vaguely resembled Lin Mei, she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young.

When the old couple saw their daughter coming back, followed by a handsome young man carrying gifts in large and small bags, they immediately regarded Lu Ping as a son-in-law.

Lao Lin didn't know how serious his condition was. He would no longer have a stomachache, so he said he would not be hospitalized, and he had to pack up and go home immediately.

Lu Ping and Lin Mei went to ask the doctor. It turned out that the local equipment was not good enough to make a diagnosis. The blood samples were sent to the provincial capital for testing, and they were waiting for the results.Anyway, it's not far from home, and the illness hasn't happened yet, so the doctor agreed to go home temporarily and wait for news.

After coming out of the hospital, Lu Ping noticed that the scenery of this small town is beautiful. There are beautiful small western-style buildings everywhere, some are fashionable and bright, some are classic and dignified.Outside the town are large fish ponds and lotus fields. It is summer, and it really is "the lotus leaves are boundless in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun". It is refreshing to see it.

“This place has a beautiful view!”

This sentence immediately won the favor of the family of three. Lao Lin laughed and said: "Although our place is a small place, it is more comfortable to live in than in the city. You see, these houses are all built by rich people in the city. They only came back to stay for two days on weekends, and some went abroad, and only came back during the holidays.”

Lin Mei's mother said: "We have good mountains, good water, delicious fish, and especially good lotus seeds. They used to be tributes!"

Lin Mei said, "Our family grows lotus and raises fish."

Lu Ping said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, my father also raises fish every year in his hometown."

Lao Lin took the opportunity to ask the question he wanted to ask a long time ago: "Xiao Lu, where are you from?"

"My hometown is in northern Fujian, a small place in the countryside."

Mother Lin asked: "Who is there in your family, are your parents in good health?"

Lu Ping replied truthfully: "Fortunately, I am the only child, and there are only two elderly people in my hometown."

Lao Lin asked, "What do you do in the city?"

"I don't do any work now, I play games..." Lu Ping blurted out, and he knew it was not good as soon as the words came out. He is quite successful in playing games now, but how does the old man understand playing games to make money?Sure enough, the second elder's face immediately became a little unnatural. It turned out that the son-in-law-to-be was unemployed and played games all day long.

Lin Mei hurriedly said: "Dad, Mom, he is joking with you. In fact, he is the boss and runs a game studio. A few classmates and I all work for him."

Lao Lin let out an "oh", glanced at his daughter suspiciously, and then at Lu Ping, the smile on his face was gone.

"Game studio? What's that for?"

This Lu Ping really doesn't know how to explain it to him, Lin Mei said: "It's just to make money, there are hundreds of millions of people playing in the game, business is easier than reality, he is the strongest person in the game, just casually for a day Earn hundreds of thousands."

This is a bit exaggerated, and the two elders obviously don't believe it. Lao Lin said: "I don't understand this stuff, but I always feel unreliable when I can't see or touch things."

Mother Lin asked, "Little Lu, have you bought a house in the city yet?"

Lu Ping broke out in a cold sweat. If he said he didn't buy it, it would be tantamount to admitting that making a lot of money is empty talk. If he said he bought it, if the second elder wants to follow him to see it, what can he show them?
Lin Mei said angrily, "Mom—what are you asking? He's just my boss. He heard that Dad was sick, so he came to visit. He cares about the employees, do you know? Why do you keep asking people like this? It's so rude. !"

The two elders were stunned for a while, aren't they the prospective son-in-law?But I've never heard of a boss caring so much about employees' families?

Lao Lin changed his tone again: "I don't understand about you young people. Whether you have a house or a car is not very important now. Life has just started, and there is still a long way to go... But then again, when you were young, you You have to plan your future life and do it down-to-earth.”

"That is, that is." Lu Ping repeatedly responded.

After that, the old couple didn't question Lu Ping's "family background" again, and they were polite on the surface, but they lost their initial enthusiasm.Of course they didn't believe that Lu Ping was Lin Mei's boss. No matter how they looked at him, he didn't look like a boss. If he was a rich boss, he would drive a luxury car and wear famous brand clothes. How could he look so poor?

Lu Ping can also understand, who wants their daughter to marry a poor boy who doesn't have a stable job?It's human nature to be a little disappointed and unhappy, it's not bad if he didn't tell him to leave, but I can only blame myself for not being prepared when I came, and not thinking through my words.

While walking and chatting, the two elders gradually changed their views on this prospective son-in-law.No matter how you look at it, Lu Ping is not an idler with no knowledge and skills. On the other hand, he is neither humble nor overbearing, calm and calm, with decent manners and moderate speech.A person's knowledge and cultivation cannot be pretended. The so-called mountains are pregnant with jade and the water is full of pearls. This is the self-confidence and calmness that comes from the inside.

Lin Mei's house is just an ordinary brick and wood structure. There is a pond in front of the house, a vegetable garden behind the house, and a small bamboo forest on the hillside behind. Therefore, the simple and unpretentious small old house also looks poetic, quiet and peaceful. Lu Ping fell in love with this place immediately.

Not far to the right of her house is a brand-new villa, a European-style building, with white and light blue tiles on the exterior wall, reflecting the shadows of flowers and trees, which looks very stylish, so Lu Ping took a second look.

Lao Lin said: "The family's new house has not yet moved in. I heard from Lao Wang, who is watching the house, that the owner has gone abroad and is not planning to come back. He is looking for a buyer."

Lu Ping asked: "How much does he sell for, can I have a look first?"

The old couple looked at him in surprise. Does this poor boy still want to buy a villa?Lao Lin said: "He said he wanted 880 million, but I figured out this rural place, and I was in a hurry to make a move. It might be sold for 600 million... Do you want to buy a house?"

Lu Ping nodded: "Not expensive, not expensive."

Before the second elder could say anything, Lin Mei spoke first: "What are you doing here to buy a house? What do you mean?"

Lu Ping was stunned, and the two elders were also stunned. Of course buying a house is for living, so what does it mean is obvious, but why is she so angry?
Lu Ping asked, "Can't I buy it?"

Lin Mei's eyes were complicated, but she said firmly: "I don't care where you buy the house, but you obviously have ulterior motives when you buy it here. You should think it through yourself and don't get too hot-headed."

Lu Ping was a little confused, what happened to her?He said that buying this villa is tantamount to proposing marriage to his father-in-law. Does she disagree?
The second elder also saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Don't stand still at the door, go into the house."

Lu Ping was very depressed, why didn't Lin Mei agree?Could it be because of that drunken incident?But now he is just making up for it. The old couple have basically passed the test, but she is singing the opposite tune. Isn't this embarrassing for him!

After entering the house, the old couple hurriedly brought tea, water, and special snacks, and then Mama Lin took Lin Mei away under the pretext of helping with the cooking, probably to ask why.Lao Lin chatted with Lu Ping, nothing more than fish farming experience, country legends, etc. Lu Ping didn't understand Lin Mei's meaning, his mind was in a mess, he just "hummed" casually, absent-minded.He was even a little angry in his heart, Lin Mei was too disrespectful to him, what was she thinking?
Not long after the two came out, Lin's mother forced Lu Ping and Lin Mei to go out for a "walk", so that they could talk alone.

The two of them went out and walked slowly along the path by the pond, neither of them spoke. Occasionally, a passing villager stared at Lu Ping with surprised and curious eyes, then nodded in a friendly way and left.

Lin Mei finally spoke: "I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude just now."

Lu Ping said: "There is no need to apologize, but I want to know why?"

Lin Mei fell silent again, and turned to the pond to look at the circles of ripples caused by the jumping fish on the water surface. She was fascinated, and said after a long time, "You are still thinking about others..."

"I... no!" Lu Ping didn't know who she was referring to, in fact, he really only had her in his heart recently, he could swear to God!But swearing and cursing can't prove anything, but it will make people feel guilty, so in the end, he just said two words "no" in a very sure tone.

Lin Mei sighed faintly: "Is it you who knows best... can we not talk about this issue?"

Lu Ping said: "I think I should make it clear, maybe you misunderstood."

Lin Mei's eyes were complicated, and she shook her head: "I don't know what's wrong with my father's condition, and I'm not in the mood to talk about it now."

This is also true. Although Lu Ping was depressed and impatient, he couldn't force her. At this moment, Lu Ping's cell phone rang, and when he saw the call from Leng Wa on the screen, Lu Ping pressed the answer button.

"Brother, where did you go? Why don't you go online as a group? Don't play after earning enough?"

"The group is not online?" Lu Ping was a little surprised. "Smiling father is sick. I will go home with her. Is Popsicle, Hongyue and Wenwen not online?"

"No, I didn't see any of them. No one answered her cell phone. I thought you guys had absconded with money! By the way, how is her dad doing? When are you coming back? Everyone is looking for you, without you No way..."

"I'll be online right away!" Lu Ping cut off the call, too lazy to answer his many questions.

Shrugged to Lin Mei: "Let's go back, Leng Wa and the others are in a hurry to find me."

Lin Mei nodded, and when avoiding Lu Ping's gaze, her expression was a little weird, as if she was a little uneasy and guilty, and seemed to be hesitating for something.

Lu Ping also couldn't calm down for a long time. She said that he was still thinking of others. The "others" definitely did not refer to Zhao Ling, Ai Xiaoyue and Wen Huiwen, nor could it be An Li, so she must be referring to Chen Qiuxue. It's over - she should know that he and Chen Qiuxue are in the past tense, why should she bet on this dry vinegar?
I asked myself, did I really completely forget about Chen Qiuxue?Some things are easy to remember, but not so easy to forget. I'm afraid I still remember them sometimes, but isn't everything in the past?

The game helmet has a built-in wireless card, and there is a signal in not too remote mountainous areas, so it can be used normally. Lu Ping and Lin Mei went back to the house, and Lu Ping put on the helmet and went into the game.

In fact, nothing major happened in the game, but Lu Ping and several important backbones left for several days, and soon disappeared when they came back, and their names were not listed on the hero list, so it aroused the curiosity and enthusiasm of the players of the best heroes. Uneasy, there were even rumors that they quit the game and stopped playing.In addition, there are some small disputes in the guild, the distribution of benefits, and the commanders of each army need to give instructions and so on.

Lu Ping was also a little surprised, why the three of Bingjiling and the others didn't go online. Could it be that they fell asleep again after he and Lin Mei left?Women snooze much more than men.

As soon as Lu Ping appeared, all the rumors were self-defeating, and the guild's affairs were all settled in ten minutes.Everyone in the major legions knew that the boss brought back a few very powerful mammoths and a large number of top-quality sand lizards this time. A mighty riding beast.

Anyway, it will be dealt with sooner or later, and it will save everyone from fidgeting if it is dealt with early, so Lu Ping pulled several army commanders and deputy commanders into the channel, and held a meeting, including An Li, Zhu Xian, Su Yun, and romantic figures , Zhan Dao, passing by, Long Xiao Ziyun, Long Xiao Cangming, decisive battle!Chicken man, decisive battle!Lonely forever and so on.

"Everyone knows that we have established the fourth legion 'Dragon Rider', with An Li as the head for the time being, and Zhu Xian and Su Yun as the deputy heads. The Dragon Rider Legion only accepts elites, and they must be absolutely loyal and reliable. A master with both character and strength, the four mammoths and a dozen sand lizards brought back this time will be provided to the Dragoon Legion at a lower than market price..."

Passing by asked: "Boss, is it possible that the Dragoon Legion will be given priority in obtaining the best resources and the best benefits in the future?"

"Yes!"

"Then can we join the Dragoon Legion?"

Before Lu Ping opened his mouth, the romantic man scolded: "Bastard, if you all leave, what will I do with my bare regiment leader? Don't quit!"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Lu Pingdao: "You important backbones will definitely not be able to change jobs, but those with potential in your legion can recommend Dragonriders, and trustworthy friends can invite them over. The specific assessment and selection will be carried out by An Li and the two deputy heads. It is decided that you don’t need to go through me. There is another thing to call everyone today, and you need to collect some things..."

"Mammoth ointment?" asked the romantic man. Most of the people who went with him this time knew about it, but they didn't know what it was for.

"Yes! Probably everyone has heard some rumors. I need to use this to build an important large-scale equipment. It will have a great effect on our guild in the future. But not only ten barrels of mammoth ointment, but also Taitali Three hundred parts of Feathered Serpent skin from Asia, and six red-leaved giant cedars from Tula Leon, I will reward those who get it first."

Zhu Xian said: "I know the skin of the Feathered Snake, but do you need so much?"

Long Xiaowu Cangming said: "I can ask some friends in Erasia to help me, go to Titania to find the Feathered Serpent's spawn point, and see what's going on."

Lonely Eternal Tribulation said: "I have heard of the Red Leaf Giant Sequoia. It is said that Changsheng lives in the canyon leading to the Dragon Kingdom near Eri. There are a large number of elf guards to prevent them from entering. I will send some reliable people to find out the specific situation. .”

Seeing that Long Xiao and the Invincible Legion had volunteered, the romantic figure was unwilling to give in: "I'll figure out a way to deal with the mammoth ointment, but I can't guarantee it."

Lu Ping is very satisfied: "Okay, I will work hard for everyone. I have some things in reality these days, and I may not be online sometimes. The things in the guild are temporarily decided by Bingjiling and Lengwa. If you really can't settle urgent matters, you can call me Mobile phone, I will give you the number later..."
