Chapter 211 A Boy Who Doesn't Look Like a Boy

The acquaintance with "Doughnut" can be regarded as a long time ago.

It’s not as normal as Yu Jie’s acquaintance at school. The place where Luo Li and this girl first met was the Internet—at that time, she wasn’t called “Doughnut”, but used something more literary and more popular. Second nickname.

They first became netizens, from common hobbies to daily chores, chatting with each other from time to time, this communication mode has lasted for many years...

The two parties both intentionally kept each other mysterious, they didn't ask much about each other's real situation, and they didn't turn on voice or expose photos during the chat, so they put aside their identities in reality and carried out pure social networking.

Of course, Raleigh is not a slow male protagonist of light novels, and he soon discovered that the opposite is likely to be a girl, but he was not sure.

Then, after graduating from high school, Raleigh, who was admitted to university, arrived in a new city and started life; and by such a coincidence, it was here that he met his friend who had known him online for six or seven years.

The location of the university happens to be the city where "Donut" lives. They met in reality and became friends offline.

I don't know how the other party sees me, but from Raleigh's point of view, the other party's real image is better than he expected-a girl with personality and not too independent, a girl who is easy to be remembered .

And this meeting was almost two years ago.

After that, there is nothing to say.Maybe it's because I'm too familiar with it, but it loses a lot of mystery. The following plot does not show the direction of a romantic drama at all, but instead makes an abrupt turn, and it becomes the current style of painting.

Thinking back now, Luo Li still can't help sighing, the chances that netizens can keep in touch with each other for so many years and successfully transition to offline friendship, no matter how you say it, can at least be called "fated"...

---at this time---

"Do you have something important to consider, you always look distracted."

After the meal, after packing up their things and everyone dispersed to various places in the store, Donuts walked around to Raleigh who was waiting for customers at the front desk shortly thereafter, and asked questions straight.

"...Is it that obvious?"

"You look like an investigator who has just seen the projection of the evil god in a dream, lost 3-4 points of San and has not recovered. When chatting just now, he became silent at every turn. How can you be so obvious?"

"This is too exaggerated... I just thought about it divergently."

Raleigh is slightly embarrassed by this fantastic metaphor.Don't blame him for being distracted, except for the short discussion about dn in the middle, the topic of their conversation today has always been on "Full Time and Space Domain", and he can't help it if he thinks more.

"It seems that you really care about this game, which is relatively rare. What do you care about?"

"It's just that the technical skills are really strong. It's such a complicated game, and it looks like it can be played for a long time."

The conversation at dinner had been confirmed, and he was the only one who noticed something was wrong with the game, and the donuts were no exception.

"That's true. Next time you have free time, you can consider the few of us doing a dungeon online. It will be very interesting. The game characters of the big guys seem to have their own personalities."

Donut agreed, she started playing this morning, a day later than Raleigh, and she is still a pure novice, but according to her, she is confident that her character is already very unique now, and at the same time selling Guan Zi did not expand the description and said that he wanted to surprise everyone.

This also made Raleigh secretly guess that she must have drawn a talent, right?

So far he has seen a lot of players with strange abilities (or is there anything normal), but most of them have evolved from random props to the present; the guy who can be sure that they are talented players Lawyer Yu Jianfei was just that, and the skills the two of them possessed were indeed a bit weirder than other players.

"It's also very good, but I'm a little worried that there are too many people. Let's see when we get the details."

There is more than one game warehouse in the store. If some people contact remotely after their own online, they can naturally download the game together.

"Yeah. But speaking of it, I actually have something on my mind today~"

"Oh?"

"Let me show you..."

She rummaged through the pouch around her waist for a while, and handed a card to Raleigh: a picture card with a fairly simple layout, on which was a picture of a majestic black giant wolf with a fantasy shape, not only with horns on its head, but also Covered with layers of fluff.

"This is... a new game?"

Karoli had never seen such a monster before, so he wondered if it was some other card game.

"It's more exciting than a game. I've searched, but I can't find anything like it online, and there isn't even a trademark on this card, but look—"

The donuts explained that the card was slightly bent with more force with both hands; the strange thing is that the seemingly thin card appears to be extremely resilient, and the ordinary paper has already been folded, but it gives people a feeling of being completely broken. The feeling of not moving.

"Hey, so strong?"

If it is so hard, it can play all kinds of flying card scenes in Yu-Gi-Oh, right? What kind of material is this thing made of?

Just as the two of them were talking, the store door opened, and a young man who was about 1.7 meters tall, with a slightly immature face, walked in lightly, and looked around the interior setting.

"Huh?" Donut was puzzled.

This store does have some underage customers, but because the expenses are not low for students, it is relatively rare in general; and the students come in groups, and a child like this walked in by himself Also looking around is really not that common.

Generally speaking, such children are curious about the name of the board game club and come in to observe it.

However, Raleigh immediately set his sights on the boy, and made a different inner judgment: the moment he saw him, Raleigh inexplicably felt that this boy seemed a little "special".

He wasn't looking around curiously as he looked, and Raleigh noticed that his eyes were actually very flat, more like he was looking for something, and his gestures...

"Hello, a cup of milk tea with no ingredients, thank you~"

The boy walked to the front desk and smiled friendlyly at the two, took out the right banknotes from his pocket and put them in front of Raleigh.

"Oh?"

He also uses paper money?The boy's actions obviously attracted some attention from Miss Donut, and Raleigh would not ignore this point, instead, he wanted to go one step further——

"It's strange, according to the child's appearance and tone, if it's not the first time I saw him, I wouldn't have no impression of such a person, then he should indeed be here for the first time..."

That being the case, how did he determine the price of milk tea?Although the menu was on the table next to Raleigh, the boy was already paying for it when he walked over. What's the matter?

Generally speaking, Raleigh would not nervously analyze other people's actions carefully, but this young man inexplicably made Raleigh feel "hard to ignore". There seemed to be something unusual about him. An intuitive feeling is that...

"Here, your milk tea"

"grateful."

The young man took it with a nod, holding the cup, and sat alone against the wall. He didn't take out his mobile phone, and didn't drink to anyone. On the basis of being silent alone, he didn't show depression or contemplation at all. Instead, he looked out the window, as if admiring the scenery—but there was only the street and the wall of the opposite restaurant outside.

"..."

This person doesn't look like a "boy" at all.

It's just like Conan's disobedience, he looks about 15 years old, but he doesn't feel like a minor, and he has no intention of hiding it at all.

'Did I think too much... I don't seem to have any reason to pay attention to this, right? '

Even though he was thinking this way, in his subconscious, a certain lack of intuition convinced Raleigh that there must be something unusual about this young man...

Chapter 212 Please pay attention to [card]

The night was getting darker, and as time went by, the guests gradually dispersed.The dining area in the front hall gradually became deserted, and the players in the private room also left the table one by one.

After all, the board game club is not a bar or a nightclub, so it would not be too much of an exaggeration to extend the operating hours later; the closing time set by Raleigh is ten o'clock, and if there are no other accidents, they will close their business by this time, and they will go back to their own business. Home.

At this time, there are still about 40 minutes before the closing time. Raleigh is operating on the full-server projection screen at the front desk, summarizing the income of tonight:

In fact, most people don't think that the game in the field of time and space is so outrageous. Even if the influence of cognitive impairment is removed, Raleigh is not incomprehensible.

As mentioned before, there are a large number of small screens in this store, which allow them to make video calls at any time in different rooms and see each other's situation; and these screens are not traditional physical screens, after all Hanging so many displays everywhere is not beautiful and takes up space.

All the screens mentioned above are all floating light screens that can be projected into the air at once and can be directly touched by hand-things that could only exist in science fiction films ten years ago, but now they are here. It can be installed multiple times in stores in third-tier cities.

This is why it is nothing new for Raleigh to face those floating windows and backpack interfaces in the game. He has been exposed to these in his daily life.

Of course, this means nothing.It is a completely different concept to be able to fully sneak into the game and to be able to make "Total Space-Time Domain", and the calculation and information volume are not at the same level.It's as if 3D modeling has been formed long ago, but even today it is impossible for people to use modeling to create [the whole earth], which is not a concept at all...

In short, although the bill was in hand, Raleigh didn't pay attention to it.His eyes slanted to a corner of the shop——

The boy in the windbreaker is still there.He just ordered a cup of milk tea, and then sat there for more than an hour without participating in any communication, just looking out the window by himself.

Every once in a while, Raleigh couldn't help turning his gaze away, sneaking a peek at this boy who didn't look like a boy.This did not arouse any reaction from the other party. I don't know if he didn't notice it or didn't care.

He actually sat there for so long... After all, what is this kid here for?

"Huh? Although the child looks really good, why are you staring at him?"

Miss Donut quietly came to the side, and said jokingly: "You also start to like the characters of Zhengtai

"...Of course not. It just feels that he is a little different, and I can't explain why he is conspicuous."

"Ah, this is indeed... It is obviously not the exaggerated appearance of a rebellious boy, but such a normal appearance always feels very conspicuous. It is really strange. Huh?"

There was no reaction for so long before, and just a few words of discussion here, but the boy suddenly made a move, got up and walked over.

Such a coincidental timing made the two of them slightly taken aback, but the other party didn't seem to come after hearing their conversation.The boy walked to the bar and showed a card to the two of them from his pocket:

"Excuse me, boss. Speaking of which, have you ever seen such a card?"

What he was holding was a card with only a board design and a blank main content. The style and layout did not conform to any type of game in his impression, and he could not find the trademark...

That being said, it's really not something unseen.

"Huh? Are you looking for this?"

The three Miss Quan immediately took out the card with the giant wolf on it that they had picked up, and put it in front of the boy.

"Ah, that's right! Actually, I accidentally dropped this card. I haven't found it after searching for a long time. Can you please..."

"Is this like this? Here, here you are."

"Thank you very much. This card has a very important meaning to me, and it's great to get it back so quickly."

"Since it's a precious thing, you should be careful not to lose it? You may not be able to find it so well every time, especially if it's such a small thing like a card."

While instructing, Donut stroked the boy's hair twice.The first touch is quite astonishingly fluffy. The child's hair is as soft as a plush toy. What kind of strange hair is this?

"Okay, I will definitely pay more attention, thank you!"

Withdrew back calmly to prevent someone from continuing to use two rua cards, the boy put the cards in the box on his waist, and thanked the two of them again.

"Well, since I found something, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye~"

After beckoning at the end, the boy turned around and left through the main entrance and walked out of the board game club.Just like any normal guest leaving here...

So what the hell is this kid doing?I ordered a cup of milk tea and drank it for an hour. If he came in out of curiosity, he hadn't visited the interior and upstairs at all.

'And, before he went out...did he glance back at me? '

Luo Li always felt that he was still a little concerned, closed the floating screen in his hand, and walked towards the store door: "It's a little late, it's not good to let the minor go home alone, I'll walk him a few steps, walk to the main road and come back. "

"Huh? Not at all, the law and order here is pretty good... But it's up to you, I'll settle the rest, go and go."
