Putting away the two pieces of Golden Equipment that he had already decided on, Ye Tian Xie took out the Tiger's Tooth Blade and the Tiger's Soul Shield that he had used to equip the Amethyst War Tiger. When the two pieces of Golden Equipment appeared in front of him, he saw a look of disbelief on the girl's face.
"These are the last two, sorry to trouble you."
"No no no no trouble."
But he actually didn't feel any heartache at all. A mysterious emotion was urging him to do these things.
He didn't stay for long. After taking one last look at the girl, he turned around and left. He believed that he would be able to see her again in the future.
"Can I add you as a friend?" The girl stopped him and asked in a timid and uneasy tone.
"Alright." Ye Tian Xie turned around and took the initiative to add the name "Broken Heart" to his friends list, becoming his first friend up until now. When the friend request sounded out, Ye Tian Xie smiled at her and said, "This way, it'll be very convenient to find you in the future. If I have any other equipment that needs to be appraised, I'll have to trouble you with that."
Perhaps it was because he could vaguely see that she had been injured before, but his tone to her did not carry the usual cold arrogance, but instead it was extremely likely to be peaceful.
Then he raised his hand and walked towards his house. Only then did the girl get a chance to know his name. When she called out her name on her friend list and looked at the same name that also existed, both her eyes and mouth instantly opened in surprise …
Returning to his new house, the first thing Ye Tian Xie did was equip his Death Spirit Cloak. Just as he was considering whether he should go level, a system announcement rang out, disrupting his thoughts.
"Ding … … There are calls coming in from outside, would you like to pick up the phone?"
Looking at the time, Ye Tian Xie did not choose to accept the call in the game world, he chose to log off instead.
Opening his eyes, he saw that familiar ceiling. The phone was ringing beside his ear. The number of people who knew his phone number could be counted on one hand.
Extending his arm, he held the phone in his hand. Without looking at the number, Ye Tian Xie pressed the answer button and placed it beside his ear.
"Second Brother, I have a piece of news for you." A rough male voice immediately came from the other side.
"Oh? What news? " Ye Tian Xie asked. If it wasn't something important, he wouldn't have called him so casually.
"Tomorrow, it will be 12 o'clock at noon. The Destiny world will officially open the game currency and the real world currency exchange. The exchange rate is first set at one to one." "Now that the news has spread, some powerhouses and trade unions have begun to make their preparations."
Ye Tian Xie knit his brows and sat up on the bed. He lowered his brows and asked, "Didn't you tell me last time that it would take around a month or so?" Why is it opening tomorrow? "
What did the opening of the game currency and the exchange of real money mean? Perhaps for normal players, it was just money that they could exchange for. Ye Tian Xie knew that the day that the currency exchange began was the day that the Destiny world began to move. The large guilds, gangs, and powers would reveal their fangs and take over their territories.
Ye Tian Xie was silent for a bit before he nodded and said, "I know what elder sister is like."
"Big Sis has been preparing for a long time. Now that the currency exchange is open, it is time for her to make her move. Uh, that … .Second brother …. "The voice on the other side suddenly became very cunning and carefully asked," I heard that Su Luo's only daughter, Su Fei Fei, is living in your house right now and has been for many days.
"Put away your dirty thoughts. Nothing happened between us. I just wanted to collect the protection fee." Ye Tian Xie snappily said.
"Uh, second brother, you've never lied to anyone before, so I'm a lot more at ease now that you say that. Huu." There was a pat on the chest and a exhalation.
"Relax? "What do you mean?"
"Ah?" Eh? That's right! Second Brother, that damn transvestite and I are both anxious to meet you. Can you tell us first? "
"Tomorrow morning, 10 o'clock. Heavenly Stellar City's business street, middle part of the back street." Ye Tian Xie cleanly said.
"AHH!" "Alright!" The voice on the other side suddenly became exaggerated and excited, "I'll tell that damn transvestite right away! Oh god, I feel so good! Finally, I can fight against the world with number four and number two again! Hahahaha!"
"A slip of the tongue, an absolute slip of the tongue. Second brother, you must calm your anger. Then that's that. Die first, hehehehe!"
That blue-haired man, that pair of eyes, that back view …
Inadvertently, under his increasingly hazy gaze, his thoughts drifted to the past that he was unwilling to recall.
The sky was dark and the wind was hurried. Even the broken moon was only half visible from behind the clouds, giving a gloomy light to the earth.
"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu- gege, are mom and dad really dead? I don't want them! I don't want them!"
The boy's mournful and hoarse cries made the dim night air heavy with sadness. Finally, a tall shadow came closer and closer as he ran in a hurried and disorderly manner. This was a youth who looked like he was only 14 or 15 years old, but he already had a figure not inferior to an adult, and a pair of sharp eyes. However, at this moment, his eyes were filled with fire like resentment and his exhaustion seemed to have faded away.
He had a small boy on his waist, a boy who looked like he was only four or five years old. Facing the cold wind, the little boy sobbed weakly …
"Don't cry. We are men. We can only bleed, we can't cry, we can't cry forever." He was running with all his might, his breathing had become disorderly at some point, and his steps were also constantly staggering. The breath he was breathing out was incredibly heavy. His stamina had long since been depleted, and he was currently running at full speed using his determination and conviction to persevere.
"But, they killed mother and father!" The little boy raised his greyish eyes. This night was like a nightmare that turned his entire world upside down. He, who had never known what evil was, had personally witnessed his mother and father die at the hands of those people! At that time, he was stupefied and his mind went blank. Only his elder brother was able to bring him and run for his life
"Mom and Dad aren't dead yet. They went to heaven, watching over us from heaven …"
"Paradise!" The little boy raised his head from his older brother's embrace and looked at the night sky dotted with scattered stars. His face had a heart breaking expression of despair. "Big brother, then should I go to heaven as well? I really miss mom and dad!"
The man's steps halted, his body almost collapsing from exhaustion. Finally, he fell to his knees, panting heavily. Sweat had already soaked through his entire body. In front of them was a cliff. They couldn't see the bottom of the cliff, so it ended their last escape route.
He gritted his teeth until blood started to flow out from the gaps between his teeth. Far away from his right hand, there was a small pile of black protrusions that attracted his attention. He used some unknown source of strength to prop himself up and ran with all his might towards that direction.
The man put the little boy down, breathed heavily, squeezed out the last of his strength and frantically moved the stones until he was satisfied with a gap. Then he turned around, took off the little boy's clothes and wrapped them around a strip of rock that was about his height.
"Big brother!" The little boy's entire body was cold. He curled up into a ball and shouted at the only person he could rely on right now.
The man crouched down and carried the stone with the boy's clothes in his arms. With a smile, he said softly, "Little Tian, a man shouldn't die so easily, do you understand? "Our parents are dead, our home is destroyed but we still have you. You have to live well, you have to live well, and that way, our parents will be happy when they are in heaven. Only then can you avenge them! Be obedient, don't make any noise, you have to live on, and we will meet again one day!"
"Big brother!"
He took one last look at his younger brother and started sprinting in the opposite direction. The little boy blankly stared at his back as it became further and further away. At this moment, his back was firmly imprinted in his heart, because he suddenly felt a terrifying feeling in his young heart. This was the last time he looked at his older brother's back.
