Chapter 219 Mastering a Foreign Language
There is an old-fashioned telephone in the mansion. Zheng Xun had always thought it was a useless decoration until Yiyuan used it to order a takeaway one day.
Zheng Xun didn't know who the takeaway was for. He didn't eat it, and Yiyuan didn't eat it either.
But the next day, Zheng Xun found an empty takeaway box in the hallway.
There was a third "person" in this room. Zheng Xun always remembered it, but he never saw her in person.
At that time, he asked for the phone number of Yiyuan Mansion and wrote it down in his mobile phone.
Zheng Xun pressed the answer button, said "Hello", but the other party didn't speak.
"⋯⋯"
This long silence made Zheng Xun think that he didn't successfully connect. He frowned and took the phone off his ear and looked at the call display.
It's connected.
He said hello twice again and asked the other party if he could hear him.
There was still no sound from the other party.
If it was Yiyuan who called, he should have said the matter long ago. But now the other party remained silent. Zheng Xun thought about it and asked tentatively.
"Is it... Sister Nan?"
This time there was a response from the other side.
But it still couldn't be interpreted.
Because the sound coming from the other side was "bo bo bo".
It was a bit like a child opening and closing his mouth, imitating the bubbles of fish in the water.
Zheng Xun was also confused.
What was going on?
The other side of the phone kept bobbing for a while, sometimes long, sometimes short, and sometimes intermittent, as if communicating with Zheng Xun in this way.
Zheng Xun had no choice but to imitate her and started bobbing.
⋯⋯
Then the other party suddenly bobbed, bobbed, bobbed wildly, and it was unclear whether she was responding excitedly or scolding him.
Zheng Xun thought that sooner or later he would pay the price for his damn desire to win, but the other party had bobbed fifteen times, so he had to bobbed at least twenty times.
At the eighteenth time, the other party actually spoke human language.
"Zheng Xun."
It was Yiyuan's voice.
"⋯⋯"
Zheng Xun stopped awkwardly.
Yiyuan didn't expose his childish behavior just now, but kindly avoided the topic.
"Did you have fun? Nanqiang and I saw you on TV."
Since the mansion was taken over by Zheng Xun, Yiyuan replaced all the furniture and appliances inside.
Although it still retains its original retro appearance, the relevant functions are already very advanced.
Sometimes Zheng Xun really finds it hard to imagine how powerful Yiyuan is.
Although he stays in the mansion all day and can't get out, everything that happens in the outside world seems to be under his control.
The General Association's game is broadcast live on TV. Yiyuan said he watched it, and he watched it with Nanqiang.
If Nanqiang is really the black hair he met in the dungeon before, Zheng Xun really can't imagine how the two of them, one without a head and the other with a face full of hair, can sit on the sofa and watch TV.
Yiyuan is concerned about how Zheng Xun has been doing outside these two days. Zheng Xun said that everything is fine, except for those very bad players who ate his hot pot.
But he also made them pay the corresponding price.
Yiyuan laughed twice on the other side of the phone, and then asked when Zheng Xun would return to the mansion.
"Well... I can't say for sure, maybe a few days," Zheng Xun stammered, a little hesitant, "I found a white tower here."
Zheng Xun didn't hide much from Yiyuan, he always subconsciously believed in the other party.
"White tower..."
Yiyuan was quiet for a moment, as if he was looking for the white tower around Zheng Xun.
About three or two minutes later, Yiyuan continued to chat with him.
"Do you want to enter this white tower?"
"I won't go in right away, because I have to wait for someone," Zheng Xun said, minimizing the call interface, and then sent messages to Xu Guan and Huo Ziyan respectively, "I'll go in when he comes."
Yiyuan didn't say much about Zheng Xun's decision to go down. Since Zheng Xun had made up his mind, he didn't need to say much.
He believed that Zheng Xun could succeed.
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Zheng Xun and Yiyuan talked about the strange young man he met.
Since he was mentioned, it had to involve the fact that he was almost killed by a cement slab falling from the sky.
Zheng Xun did not turn the page on this matter and did not discuss it in detail with Shen Guanyu because he did not want to make the other party worry.
This happened very strangely. After thinking about it, the only person who was suitable to talk to was Yiyuan.
Yiyuan was silent. When Zheng Xun calmly recounted the thrilling experience, the other end of the phone was particularly quiet.
Zheng Xun told the story from beginning to end. After he finished, Yiyuan spoke and made a promise.
"I won't do it next time."
Why did he dare to make such a firm promise? Zheng Xun didn't know.
He just sighed and said something unintentionally.
"Yiyuan, why did you appear in front of me?"
Yiyuan did not answer his question at first. Just when Zheng Xun thought he could not wait for an answer, the other party spoke.
"I went looking for you in order to find myself.
I lost myself in order to find you."
"...Riddler? My brain gets hot when I think too much."
Yiyuan smiled and did not continue to explain to him. He just asked him to be more careful in the dungeon.
And——
"Zheng Xun, the White Tower can change the world, but it cannot change human nature. Whether there is a White Tower or not, you must guard against people's hearts."
Although Zheng Xun did not understand, he nodded. After nodding, he thought that Yiyuan could not see at all, so he replied to him.
"I know, Yiyuan."
Then there were some trivial conversations. Zheng Xun promised that it wouldn't take too long, but Yiyuan told him not to worry.
"I saw it on the Internet," Yiyuan, the old man, actually went online. "This white tower looks very strange from the outside. It should be called an 'unfinished product'. But judging from the year it appeared, it should have been 'finished'."
Yiyuan paused, and soon Zheng Xun heard the crisp sound of a coffee cup falling on the table.
"Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as 'formation was forcibly interrupted'. In any case, the unformed white tower is unstable. You have experienced it and should know it better than anyone else."
Indeed, Zheng Xun's previous book was in such a situation.
But he doubted that the last abnormality was caused by Yiyuan.
——It's meaningless to worry about this now.
Zheng Xun agreed to Yiyuan. As for how much he could do, it all depends on how he operated.
After the call with Yiyuan, Zheng Xun planned to go to bed.
He was not in a hurry to simulate. Xu Guan and Huo Ziyan both replied to his message, saying that the guild would train the players tomorrow, and it was very important training, and all players had to participate.
This was a confidential special training within the guild, and Zheng Xun could not intervene. Even asking about it was offensive, so he did not urge.
Therefore, he was free now. He just needed to wake up before the dungeon tomorrow and run to the White Tower.
It had been a long time since he had used the simulation function. After taking a shower, Zheng Xun leaned against the head of the bed, fiddling with the bracelet on his palm, and decided to simulate two or three times before going to sleep to get familiar with the situation.
However, Zheng Xun obviously overestimated his degree of fatigue. The moment the back of his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep.
Falling asleep does not mean resting. This time, he dreamed of the scene in the dungeon again.
He stood under the tall building again.
