Chapter 534

January is a bad month.

It was cold, damp and uncomfortable.

In January, no one is rolling around on the park lawn with cheers or dancing in the puddles on the street in wellies.

In Nankang, the greatest comfort and joy in January is to walk into a hot pot restaurant on the street and enjoy the smell of fireworks and chili for a short time.

The gray walls, rustic wooden decorations, and square tables and benches create a soothing place where people can temporarily escape the ravages of January.

Pour a plate of meatballs into the bottom of the boiling red oil pan, and the spicy water mist rises suddenly, isolating the two sides of the square table.

"Sister Rabbit told me about you and asked me to welcome you to join."

The gangster uncle looked very distinguished. While driving the vegetarian dishes into the pot, he spoke to the still nervous young man.

Lu Jinxi, who took off his coat and put it aside, asked a question very carefully:

"Thank you, brother, what do you call me?"

"Just call me Yin San."

Gao Yi casually made up a name and said it with his hands.

The name is not the key. The Lu Jinxi in front of him asked this question just to get closer to each other.

Looking at the other party's still uneasy nervous expression, Gao Yi decided to be more direct:

"Did you hear from Sister Rabbit that you have messed with some people you shouldn't mess with?"

Lu Jinxi was obviously taken aback and nodded awkwardly.

He did mention to [Investigator-Rabbit] that he needed some protection.

It's not surprising to be asked about this.

However, the next question from the scar-faced uncle who called himself Yin San was something Lu Jinxi didn’t expect:

"So how did you end up with the Alphabet people?"

He has never told anyone this.

Gao Yi raised his chopsticks, took out a piece of lunch meat, and lightly rinsed it on a plate of oil sprinkled with green onion.

After the food was swallowed, he raised his eyes, admired the helpless look of the young man opposite, and asked:

"Do you think you can hide that little thing from the 'investigators'?"

This passage seems to be persuasive enough.

Lu Jinxi may not trust the uncle he just met, but he has no doubt about the power of the so-called "investigator" organization.

There's no way, who can say [Investigator-Rabbit]'s performance is so perfect.

In "Toy War", after watching the bunny lady playing around with a group of "Investigation Bureau" members, Lu Jinxi has developed a certain kind of awe for these "investigators" named after their zodiac animals.

Correspondingly, he also put his hope of solving his own problems above joining this organization.

After gritting his teeth, he picked up a piece of potato and stuffed it into his mouth. Lu Jinxi finally chose not to hide it anymore and began to tell his story.

"If I could travel back in time two months ago, I would never attend that meeting..."

The young man in front of him opened up his memories with this passage.

Lu Jinxi is not actually from Nankang.

Until two months ago, he lived in the main urban area of ​​Jinling City.

As one of the earliest “player cities” in the country, Jinling City has also experienced rapid development.

Lu Jinxi also became a "player" by chance.

In the early days, like everyone else, he was struggling and confused in the low-level dungeon, trembling with fear at every countdown.

But on one occasion, in a level 7 dungeon, he successfully found a way to break the situation and completed the level 3 mission of that dungeon.

In this way, a very useful purple feature is obtained.

Based on this, Lu Jinxi quickly adapted to this "new world" belonging to players.

Not only was he comfortable in low-level dungeons, but in real life, he also began to make friends and collect and share intelligence.

During that time, he was really high-spirited.

"To tell you the truth, there were a few favored ones who came to me at that time and even offered me equipment and props, but I confiscated them all... It's not that I didn't want them, it was just that I saw them at that time. No, I don’t think I should be tied to these people for such a small profit..."

With a long sigh, Lu Jinxi was obviously a little upset about his choices during that time, and rubbed the back of his head fiercely.

Gao Yi, who had long been obsessed with all kinds of "petty profits", picked up the conversation while enjoying the tripe, telling the other party to grasp the key points.

There is no way, people always prefer to recall the good past, rather than the embarrassing and painful past.

Finally, at the stall where he was eating another bunch of enoki mushrooms, the man in front of him, Lu Jinxi, talked about his origins with the "alphabet".

By October of 2024, he had become a well-known player in Jinling City.

While he is good at collecting intelligence, he also likes to share this with other players, which naturally gives Lu Jinxi a certain reputation.

In order to construct a certain "personality" to prevent others from harassing him, he often made up stories about how he destroyed other players.

With his good fabrication skills, many people believe it is true and think that Lu Jinxi is a powerful player.

It was during that time that a person who called himself "Professor Mo" sent a message, inviting him to a "symposium" to exchange information and explore the truth about so-called copies and "games".

"That Professor Mo is very famous in Jinling City, much more famous than me. It may sound funny, but when I received the invitation, I was really excited and felt a sense of satisfaction of being recognized. I didn't hesitate at all and immediately replied that I would go........."

Lu Jinxi stared at the piece of meat held by chopsticks, as if he was looking at his past self.

From his previous statement "If I could travel back two months ago, I would definitely not attend that meeting", it cannot be guessed that this "symposium" was not an experience worth remembering.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

On the night when the "symposium" was held, Lu Jinxi finally realized what kind of existence the famous "Professor Mo" was.

He also knew what kind of "perverted" existence the players who participated in that meeting were.
