Chapter 64: Chinese New Year's Eve (Middle)
Getting such a gift from the butterfly fairy baby, Ouyang Bing was almost stunned.
In the following time, she sat quietly beside her brother and accompanied her brother to watch the Spring Festival Gala, which had been performed for more than 200 years. Cher stopped on her shoulder, staring curiously at the TV.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Ouyang Shuo received another video call, picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was his aunt calling. As the only relative of the brother and sister, this aunt is a maverick figure.
The aunt's name is Lin Jing, and she is fifteen years younger than her sister, Ouyang Shuo's mother, Lin Jing. Therefore, she and Ouyang Shuo are the same age group, only six years older than Ouyang Shuo.
It stands to reason that Ouyang Shuo and this aunt should be very close, but in fact it is the opposite. It's not that he doesn't want to get close to this aunt who is not much older than himself, but Lin Jing naturally hates men very much, even his nephew is no exception.
Because of such quirks, after Lin Jing graduated from university, she directly found a girl and registered her marriage without the blessing of her family. Ouyang Shuo's grandparents have no sons, only these two daughters. The second elder was originally in poor health, and he died in a car accident with his eldest daughter and the death of his younger daughter in a same-sex marriage, and passed away in less than two years.
Because Ouyang Shuo's father was the only child of his grandparents, not long after Ouyang Shuo was born, his grandparents died one after another. Therefore, his relationship with his grandparents is very deep. Because of this, he began to drift away from this aunt and had little contact. As for Bing'er, she hadn't even seen her aunt a few times, and her impression was even more vague.
Therefore, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Ouyang Shuo was very surprised when he received a call from his sister-in-law. After connecting the phone, Aunt Lin Jing appeared in the video. To tell the truth, my aunt, like his mother, inherited his grandmother's elegant temperament and exquisite appearance.
Next to my aunt, there is another beautiful woman, like a strong woman in an urban white-collar worker. She is the kind of independent woman with a strong aura, confidence and elegance. Her name is Xie Siyun, and she is the partner of her aunt and Ouyang Shuo's titular "uncle".
After experiencing rebirth, Ouyang Shuo has become more cherished for his relatives. In his previous life, because of his stubbornness, before landing on the spaceship, he didn't even think about contacting his aunt and exchanging their respective game IDs. In the five years of the game, he never saw his aunt again, which became one of his few regrets.
The deceased has passed away, and people still have to learn to look forward. Ouyang Shuo didn't have a cold face like before, but called Bing'er to his side and said with a smile: "Auntie, Happy New Year!" ”
Lin Jing's performance towards her nephew was very surprised, she was ready to be hung up directly by the other party, where did she think that it would be the plot in front of her. In fact, in his previous life, Ouyang Shuo did hang up the call from his aunt directly, and he never contacted him since.
"Happy New Year, Xiaoshuo! Next to it is Bing'er, in a blink of an eye, the little girl has grown so big, and she looks like her mother. Auntie said with a smile.
Bing'er then remembered that this person in the video was the legendary aunt, and immediately said: "Well, auntie, I am Bing'er, happy new year!" ”
Hearing her master speak, Xue'er, who was standing on her shoulder, learned to say in a milky voice: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" ”
Xue'er's learning tongue made Bing'er giggle. The little girl said like a baby that Xue'er held in the palm of her hand, and said to Lin Jing like a treasure: "Auntie, auntie, this is a pet given to Bing'er by my brother, Bing'er gave her a name, called Xue'er, isn't it cute?" ”
This kind of artificial intelligence pet, although it is not popular, but Lin Jing still knows it, she thought it was an ordinary artificial intelligence, but she didn't care, and said with a smile: "Cute, as cute as Bing'er." ”
Xie Siyun, who sat down next to Lin Jing, saw Xue'er, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, obviously she had seen Xue'er's extraordinary, and even recognized her origin.
After the greetings, Lin Jing remembered the real purpose of the call, turned to Ouyang Shuo and said, "Xiao Shuo, have you ever heard of a game called "Earth Online"? ”
Ouyang Shuo was shocked, why did Auntie mention this game, what did she know?! It's not impossible, after all, after graduation, my aunt didn't return to the state. Instead, he stayed directly in the magic capital when he was in college. After getting married, she basically lost contact with her family, and no one knows what she has been doing all these years.
On the surface, Ouyang Shuo was still smiling, and said quietly: "Earth Online? Is there anything special about this game, which is worth mentioning during the Chinese New Year? ”
"What the specific reason, my aunt can't tell you. All I can say is that I suggest you play this game, and if you are short of money, your aunt can transfer it to you. Lin Jing looked more cautious and said vaguely.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, he was already basically sure that his aunt really knew some of the inside story of the game, as for what channel he used to do so, he didn't know. He was hesitating to have a showdown with his aunt.
He thought about it seriously, with the level of attention he received in the game, and a fierce rival like Di Chen, it was really not appropriate to involve her, once the secret was leaked, it would be a catastrophe.
Ouyang Shuo pretended to be relaxed and said, "No, in fact, I'm actually playing this game too." ”
"Huh? You're already playing, that's great, tell me your game ID. Auntie is still a little powerful in the game. Lin Jing said in surprise.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "No, I'm still used to playing alone." Why don't you tell me your ID? When, I really can't get mixed up, and then I'll go to my aunt as a backer, haha. ”
If it weren't for Ouyang Shuo being her nephew, she would be full of guilt for this nephew. With Lin Jing's nature of hating men, she has long been impatient. At this time, he could only hold back his unhappiness and reluctantly said: "That's okay, you kid, you are still so stubborn, and my aunt won't force you." Remember, my aunt's ID in the game is called Snow Rose, and if something happens, you must come to me. ”
Ouyang Shuo was taken aback again, and blurted out: "Dead Snow Rose?!" ”
"Well, you know. Okay, that's it, bye-bye! Lin Jing's patience was obviously exhausted, and she turned to Bing'er and said, "Bing'er, say goodbye to your aunt, if you have time, your aunt will come to see you." ”
Bing'er nodded obediently and said sweetly, "Goodbye, auntie." ”
Hanging up the phone, Ouyang Shuo's heart still couldn't be calm. He never thought that his aunt would be the deputy head of the second of the top ten mercenary groups in the game. Then, Xie Siyun next to her should be the head of the Snow Rose.
Fate really played a big joke on him, if he hadn't hung up his aunt's phone in his previous life. Then I should be able to enter "Earth Online" in advance with the help of my aunt. In the game, with a big backer like Snow Rose, will he still wander around with Bing'er? Everything is going to be very different.
Fate has no ifs. This time, he unexpectedly obtained the powerful foreign aid of the Snow Rose, so what impact will it have on his layout in the game? Everything is unknown.
At the same time, between Lin Jing and Xie Siyao, an interesting conversation also took place.
Seeing that Lin Jing had hung up the phone, Xie Siyao, who had not spoken, said thoughtfully: "Jingjing, your little nephew, you look very unusual." ”
"This stinky boy, it's so annoying. I wanted to help him, and I played cool, saying that I like to play alone, I really don't know what to do. Lin Jing was obviously a little big, and said to herself.
Xie Siyao shook her head lightly and said with a smile: "You, you don't even know if you've been blinded." Do you know how much your little niece's AI pet costs? ”
"How much can it cost? Although it does look a little more exquisite, it is only 10,000 or 20,000 credits at most! ”
"It's really visionary. That's a global limited edition AI produced by ILAX for 1 million credits. Xie Siyao glanced at Lin Jing and said calmly.
"Huh? It's so expensive, when did this kid become so rich. If I'm not mistaken, he probably graduated this year! ”
"That's why I said he wasn't easy. Linked to "Earth Online", he, a college student who had just graduated, would notice the game and be willing to spend a lot of money on a game pod, which in itself seems abnormal. My guess is that he's probably a closed beta player like us. Xie Siyao analyzed.
"Yaoyao, what you said makes sense. Hmph, this stinky boy, even my aunt dares to play, see if I don't teach him a lesson. Lin Jing said that she was about to dial Ouyang Shuo's phone again.
Xie Siyao hurriedly stopped the excited Lin Jing, "Look at your little nephew, he is not a foolish person. When he knew that you were the deputy head of the Snow Rose, he couldn't help but not reveal his ID. Obviously, he is in the game, and it is by no means as simple as he says he is just a lone ranger. If you call now, he'll not be honest with you. I see, let's wait and see. ”
Lin Jing can become the deputy head of the second largest mercenary group in China, and she is naturally not a simple person. After calming down, I felt that what Xie Siyao said made sense, and now is indeed not the time to get to the bottom of it.
"Okay, just do what you say, Yaoyao. Anyway, the purpose of this call can be regarded as a disguised achievement, and it can be regarded as fulfilling my responsibility as an aunt. Later, let's talk about it later! Thinking of her deceased parents, Lin Jing seemed a little unhappy for a while.
