The deadline for the return has arrived.

Although Cecilia was reluctant, she could only send Bai Xiaowen away.

The current White Rock City, after receiving the indemnity materials from Black Rock City, has started a new round of construction, and you can see the scene in full swing everywhere.

"You came back this time to solve a big problem for the territory and break the bottleneck of development. Dior, I wish you could stay longer. Cecilia looked at the fiery construction scene and said with emotion.

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "This time, I knocked on the Iron Thorn family, and there must be sequelae." I estimate that the Iron Thorn Family will send a traitor to spy on the truth of White Rock City, and the 42 professionals who have been sent over should pay attention to their behavior. ”

Cecilia nodded.

"Actually, as long as outsiders are not allowed to approach the research institute," Bai Xiaowen said, "If we don't get close to the research institute, there is no way to know whether we have plague medicine, and the Iron Thorn family, who holds the golden rice bowl, will not collide with our iron bowl." ”

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "Of course, the Iron Thorn Family should take the upper route of the empire and put pressure on White Rock City to prohibit us from using plague medicines and the like. If the Empire has an order to do so, you can promise it, and don't suffer the immediate loss. ”

Cecilia said, "What if the Ironthorns are determined to go to war with us?

"If it's just a small-scale friction and trade dispute, you don't have to tell me, you can handle it yourself. If there is a serious threat, such as a full-scale war between the Ironthorns, or an armed intervention from the upper echelons of the Empire, you can notify me in the warehouse. ”

In the outside world, every time Bai Xiaowen transferred materials out of the warehouse, he needed a premise, that is, Cecilia ordered someone to place some of the materials and equipment produced that day into the warehouse in White Rock City.

Currently, the daily supplies include food, equipment from the blacksmith's shop, and spirit silver nuggets from the silver mines.

Bai Xiaowen and Cecilia agreed that if there was a big change, Bai Xiaowen would have to come to Kane to preside over the overall situation, and put some rough quality jewelry into the warehouse as a signal.

Because rough quality jewelry can't be sold for much on the earth, this kind of thing is not within the scope of Bai Xiaowen's transshipment at all. Putting unwanted rough quality jewelry in the warehouse is an anomaly, and it can serve as a warning.

After agreeing on the code, Bai Xiaowen immediately chose to return, and in the flickering white light, his figure disappeared.

This return to Earth is different from the previous return interface of the spirit world, there is no main quest, and there is no clearance.

In this way, there is no way to strengthen the equipment.

"It's a pity, I thought that in the future, I could use the settlement interface from Kane to upgrade equipment at any time. ”

Equipment enhancement is an important way to enhance the strength of the Awakened, but it is not convenient to return from an exploration mission in the spirit world every time to strengthen it. Bai Xiaowen has a permanent fiefdom order and can freely enter and exit the Kane plane world, he thought that he could take this opportunity to strengthen the new equipment and enjoy the enhancement effect in advance, but now it seems that it is impossible.

With a little regret, Bai Xiaowen chose to return to Earth.

Between the flashes of light, Bai Xiaowen appeared in Li Beihai's home.

There was no one in the living room, and in front of the windowsill, two white eagles, Yiyi and Ertwo, were leaning against each other, pecking their feathers from time to time, and occasionally spreading their wings and making a fluttering sound.

Seeing Bai Xiaowen, the two white eagles were stunned for a moment, then spread their wings and flew over, docking on Bai Xiaowen's left and right arms respectively, and the pale yellow beak with a curved hook was quite affectionate to Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen's storage space was stocked with air-dried mutant beast meat, and he hurriedly took out a few pieces and fed them to the two white eagles.

"Xiaowen, are you back?"

The balcony door opened, and Li Shuyi looked into the living room. After discovering Bai Xiaowen's figure, she suddenly smiled, closed the book in her hand, and walked in quickly: "Are you hungry?" There is pork rib soup stewed in the pot, I will serve you some." ”

"Uh......"

Bai Xiaowen touched his head and felt a sense of weakness...... Thinking of the past few days in the Kane plane world, all kinds of indescribable things with Cecilia, can you not be empty-hearted.

However, I thought that Li Shuyi would be in a very bad mood, even if she didn't quarrel much, she had to throw some face to show herself...... But Li Shuyi's performance made Bai Xiaowen completely confused, and the posture of a good wife and mother made him a little flustered.

Soon, Li Shuyi brought a bowl of hot pork rib soup.

"Hey, it's actually hot?" Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised, he looked up at the wall clock, four o'clock in the afternoon, not a meal.

Li Shuyi said with a smile: "I roughly calculated, you will come back this afternoon, stewed in advance, and simmered on low heat all the time." My skills are not very good, although I have consulted Assistant He, but the taste is a little worse than that of a genuine psionic chef. Drink and see. ”

Bai Xiaowen sucked and drank the soup, and the guilt in his heart became stronger and stronger. He secretly thought that he must be better to Li Shuyi.

"By the way, I need to charge my phone quickly and tell everyone else about my return. Bai Xiaowen said.

After plugging in the charger, Bai Xiaowen chatted with Li Shuyi for a while, and roughly explained what happened to his trip to the Kane plane. Of course, there are many indescribable contents in it, and Bai Xiaowen will not take the initiative to say it.

"It's really exciting...... I kind of regret that I didn't go with you. Li Shuyi held her cheeks and listened attentively. After Bai Xiaowen finished speaking, she said with a smile.

Bai Xiaowen was a little embarrassed, what kind of sparks would arise if Li Shuyi and Cecilia met...... I don't know.

However, Li Shuyi immediately smiled again: "Don't worry, I won't go." This is also a tacit understanding between me and Cecilia. ”

Li Shuyi changed the subject: "You said that the territory can now produce blue equipment?"

"Yes, not only the blue equipment, but also the upgraded food and snacks, which is a new profit growth point...... When I got around, I transferred a batch of blue equipment and put it in the virtual hall to sell. As for rye snacks, give priority to the two of us, and then sell them when there is a surplus. ”

Hearing that a piece of rye snack could restore 25 health points, Li Shuyi also showed a cautious look. It doesn't seem like much health is restored to 25 points, but how much health can an ordinary awakened person have? If it is not a tank, even a high-level awakened person, it is only two or three hundred health points, and at a critical moment, these 25 health points can save an awakened person from entering near death, or picking up a life from the death line.

While the mobile phone was charging, Bai Xiaowen sent messages to Xiaojun, Sister Zheng and other relatives and friends, while Li Shuyi picked up her mobile phone and posted peace with Li Bei.

"By the way, the day before yesterday, Teacher Yan from the school called me and said that the first round of the national competition was about to start, and asked you to inform the members of the school team not to go to the spirit world during this time. Li Shuyi said.

"Haha, I see Teacher Yan mainly to inform you and me...... The two of us do go to the spirit world more often than the others. However, even if Mr. Yan doesn't say it, I plan to precipitate it and practice all the specialties and skills that should be practiced. ”

Li Shuyi nodded and said, "Our level is not low now, but our combat expertise and skill level are obviously lagging behind." For your sake, I got special training from a strong person in the spirit world in the Black Tide plane, and I had a level 7 one-handed swordsmanship in advance. However, my other specialties, such as martial arts, also have to be practiced, and the newly learned Shadowless Slash has always been very low-level. ”

Combat perks and skills, the higher the proficiency requirements in the later stages. Bai Xiaowen was in the spirit world this time, and asked Cecilia to train for a period of time before he practiced his shooting specialty to level 4.

The two were talking about the plan behind them, and suddenly Bai Xiaowen's mobile phone rang, and it was a holographic call invitation from Sister Zheng.

Bai Xiaowen clicked to agree, and the light was projected on the mobile phone screen, and Sister Zheng's virtual image condensed at the top of the screen.

Hologram calls, similar to video calls, but more realistic. During the call, a holographic projection of the other party will be generated, and everything else is impeccable except for the fact that it cannot be touched, truly realizing the communication method that is thousands of miles away and close at hand.

"You're back. I hope this spiritual vacation can make you easier, after all, there are still many things you need to do. Sister Zheng's virtual hologram said.

As an agent, Sister Zheng also knew about Bai Xiaowen's assassination. However, Sister Zheng is just an ordinary person after all, and she has no way to help Bai Xiaowen in this regard, so she can only make some psychological persuasion and explanation.

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "I'm fine, Sister Zheng, you underestimate me too much." ”

The path of the Awakened is inherently full of dangers, and even without the assassination of other Awakened Ones, there is a possibility that they will encounter dangers that cannot be escaped in the wilderness area and in the spirit realm, and thus die. Bai Xiaowen has traveled to the spirit realm many times, and his heart is so strong that Sister Zheng, as an ordinary person, can't imagine.

For example, Li Shuyi did not take this assassination incident too seriously.

Sister Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and showed a charming smile again: "It's okay if you're okay." This time I called you, mainly to say two things......"

"First, the sales of your virtual battle platform characters have fluctuated a bit, and according to the feedback I have collected from players, everyone has reported a problem...... Your template is so hard to operate!"

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "I have long been mentally prepared for this. ”

Not everyone has a super brain like Bai Xiaowen, multiple summoned creatures mean that they have to operate in multiple lines, and each summoned creature has different skills, and it is indeed not easy to control a summoned creature to release suitable skills in the chaotic battlefield.

What's more, Bai Xiaowen's psychic mentor is passive, and an important ability is subtle control, and his combat expertise, especially in close combat, will affect the strength of summoned creatures. What melee perks can ordinary players have? Unable to exert the power of subtle control at all, minions can only perform basic attack movements based on instinct, which is no different from the minions of ordinary summoners.

In addition to the battle mode, the player platform also has a pass mode where you can challenge various special levels to win rewards. These levels are divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced, such as intermediate levels, which cannot be challenged with character templates of level 7 or above.

Many players who bought Bai Xiaowen's hero character template, the first choice was to rush over to challenge the perverted level in the intermediate field.

As a result, without a bit of mastery, the summoned biota will have to fight on their own, and players who challenge the level will naturally end up failing.

This undoubtedly disappointed some players, and began to slander Bai Xiaowen's character template in the comment area, thinking that he had spent unjustly money.

Bai Xiaowen flipped through the posts and found that there were a lot of smear remarks, and some people even said that Bai Xiaowen's template was far worse than the second and third ranked newcomer templates, and the price of 9900 coupons was really inflated!

"The number two template, I remember called...... Marshal?"

"Yes, Admiral Ouyang Heng, the template of the violent warrior is itself a hero class level 6, and he has a good set of equipment, among the intermediate character templates, it is considered to be very high-quality, after all, it is one-third cheaper than you," Sister Zheng said with a smile, "Of course, the violent warrior is one of the easiest character templates for players to use." ”

"Isn't it simple, charge to lock the target, and then have one or two stun control skills, and finally you can kill the opponent of the same level with a few slashes......" Bai Xiaowen complained, "If it's all controlled by ordinary players, the psychic prince template should be completely exploded by the admiral......, right?"

The Psychic Prince template certainly has a powerful control skill called Deterrence, but the Awoken Battle can use unlocking items. As for spell switching, it is a complex card cutting skill, and players with low proficiency have no time to cut out the spell they want, and they are knocked down by the three-plate axe of the violent warrior......

"Yes, a lot of negative posts in the comment section are the venting remarks of players who bought the psychic prince template, but were countered by the marshal template. Sister Zheng said.

"Then sales should be affected. Bai Xiaowen said the key question. In fact, he doesn't care about the money sold, it's just a matter of world popularity, and every awakened person will pay attention to it.

If this year's sales are cold, will the virtual battle company push itself next year?

Obviously not, all that is lost is popularity!

Sister Zheng nodded slightly: "The sales range has indeed dropped to a certain extent, but I already have emergency measures." First of all, I've tried your character template, even if the controller doesn't do anything, summon creature A in the past, it has good combat power, and it's no problem to abuse most of the elite templates of the same level......"

"Players won't rest on their laurels. Bai Xiaowen shook his head.
