Chapter 1 Wedge

She carried her schoolbag and counted down the floors of the stairs. The closer she got to her home, the more she was unwilling to count it.

With a click, she opened her door with the key. The house is quiet, and even the sound of the TV next door can be clearly heard. She smelled the smell of oil smoke from nearby neighbors cooking, and hurriedly took off her shoes. She didn't even have time to put down her schoolbag, so she closed the windows one by one. She noticed a note on the kitchen refrigerator, "Tonight's food is on the upper floor of the refrigerator, and there are frozen dumplings on the lower floor of the refrigerator." She opened the refrigerator, and the plate containing the food was frozen. It seemed that it had been put in for a long time.

The handwriting on the note is her mother's. I've even bought frozen dumplings... It seems that I won't be home for a long time.

Every time she comes home from school, she will count the floors of the stairs and prepare time for herself to face this home that is often her own.

She heated the food in the microwave and chewed it like wax.

Today, she went to school to get her final transcript. On this day of the past year, she will be very happy. Until that happened, she would be so happy, in sharp contrast to her group of mournful classmates.

However, the transcript is no longer so important to her now. She began to hesitate whether to secretly put the transcript into their room or wait for her mother to come to her for the transcript.

She took out the student manual from her schoolbag and opened the page recording her grades. Although she has been trying not to listen to the class seriously for a year, the results in the manual are still enough to satisfy parents. She originally wanted to change everything by pleasing them, but she didn't seem to have changed anything. She plays the role of a sensible girl at home and a good student in school. From primary school to high school, she has never worried her parents, and her grades have declined. But in the end, she only got one sentence. A word that made her helpless.

That day, the two people who had read the final grades of the first year of high school in her student manual sat at the dinner table and looked very happy. She thought...

"Mancao, you are sixteen years old, and you are a big girl. I haven't worried about my parents since I was a child. When I held a parent-teacher meeting, every teacher praised you. There are some words that parents should have waited until you are two years old. But when I think of... Mancao, you are so sensible that you should not be greatly affected by your parents' affairs. You must be able to understand your parents, right? It was Dad who gave her the dishes she liked. She found that the dishes on the table were all her favorite dishes.

Mom didn't say anything. Although she didn't care at all, she noticed that her mother's eyes turned red. The alarm immediately pounded in her heart, and an ominous foreboding surged up. She... doesn't want to listen anymore.

"Mom and Dad, we are divorced."

The memory is over, and she has finished dinner. She washed the dishes as usual. Inadvertently looking up and seeing the downstairs garden outside the window, a family of three were walking hand in hand. It seems that the parents have just picked up their children from kindergarten and are heading home.

She skillfully dried the clean plates and chopsticks and put them into the cupboard and chopsticks respectively. She plugged in the cupboard and pressed the disinfection button. Looking at the disinfection light in the cupboard, she knew that in the next few days, the only dish to be disinfected in the cupboard was hers. However, she has gradually gotten used to such a situation, before the two divorced.

She took her schoolbag back to her room and fell into **. There will be a college entrance examination next year. The school only gives the sophomores a week to rest. After a week, they will tutor until the end of July, and August is the official holiday. However, it is less than a month. At the end of August, I have to go back to school to adapt to that atmosphere and eliminate the laziness after the holiday.

Seven days... She really wants to go out with her parents. However, that is already an impossible wish.

She sat up from **, stretched out, and habitually walked towards the desk. Just as she turned on the computer and confirmed that the socket of the helmet and the host was connected normally, she clicked on the client, put on the helmet, and recalled when she wanted to log in to the game on the left... She was used to the holographic online game for a year, and she could no longer go back.

She doesn't know what she did wrong. Those people inside said that she had done something wrong.

She turned her eyes to the right side of the client, which is also a holographic online game. The difference is that the one on the left is oriental style, while the one on the right is Western style. This game company is also really interesting. It made two games, but shared the same client. However, the one on the left of these two games is far more popular than the one on the right.

She first played the game on the left because her friend said, "The game can make you forget a lot of unpleasant things." She followed the friend to the game and met some people, some things. However, those are all over a few days before the final exam.

She is still hesitating, because as long as it is a game of this company, the same person can only create two characters. Even in different games, as long as a character is created in another game, only one character can be created in another game. Until she saw the advertisement on the client, it was a family advertisement for the game on the right. She saw a familiar face in the advertisement, which was her cousin.

Her mobile phone began to vibrate, and her cousin's name was written on the caller ID.

"Hello?" Mancao answered the call.

"Cranberry grass!" Her always energetic cousin's voice came from her mobile phone.

"There it is."

"Uh... that... Your ID in the game on the left is called Wild Grass, isn't it?"

"..."

"Is it true? You have been talking about you on the official BBS these days. At first, when I heard what Lingling said, I thought it was a mistake... So are you still playing that game now?"

"Maybe...not."

"Then come to my cousin, my cousin is covering you! Have you seen the advertisement on the client? Hey hey, my cousin is also a little famous here. With my cousin here, no one dares to bully you!"

"..."

"Don't thank your cousin. This little thing is not worth mentioning! They are all a family. If you are so grateful to your cousin, she will be embarrassed! Just come to your cousin's place. I promise to eat delicious and spicy food! My cousin is waiting for you here! See you in the game! Bye!"

Before she could refuse, her cousin hung up the phone with a "cluck".

I don't know if it's her illusion, but she always feels... something is wrong.

She turned her eyes again to the game on the right, which said the very awkward words "fallen continent". In the past, I heard someone discuss the name in the "Shengshi Hero" on the left. But everyone's reaction is: Who do you know the second word?

She thought about it, so she might as well go to that game and play it. After all, they are all games from the same company. Shouldn't they be the same? Her master in "Shengshi Haoxia" has also taught her a lot of skills. She should not hold her cousin back. As long as... don't appear in the previous game again, the same inexplicable betrayal.

Put on the helmet and click to enter the game.

What appeared in front of her was to create a character interface. There is an NPC that helps newcomers create characters, and there is also a player image modeled on her. Before choosing race and occupation, she first chose to modify her appearance. She changed the player's image... Even if she stood in front of those two people, she couldn't recognize herself.

Although she changed her appearance in this way, she still couldn't change the four words - wild grass. Even if she knew that these four words had caused an uproar in the game on the left, she still didn't want to change them.

"Are you sure to create a character's name as 'Wild Grass'?"

"I'm sure."

"The random result of your race is an elf."

"Congratulations on getting the hidden race undead."

"The random result of your profession is a mage."

"Congratulations on getting the hidden professional summoner."

Congratulations on your successful creation of the character. Now I'm helping you connect to the novice village..."

The character interface immediately disappeared from her eyes and was replaced by a quiet village.

She couldn't help recalling that she just seemed to forget to choose race and occupation and create characters directly? Then because the default is random...

......

She silently clicked on her character status and made sure that it did say...

She hasn't read those racial career introductions. What role did she create? She began to blame herself, because when creating the character, she was so obsessed with the name that she made this low-level mistake of forgetting to choose race and profession. However, it should be... a good thing to get this kind of hidden race and occupation, right?

She silently closed her character state and began to look at the scenery around her.

In short, it is a quiet small village surrounded by forests, and somehow she is the only one in this small village.

If she doesn't know too little about the game, wouldn't there be a lot of NPCs waiting in line for her to take over the task at this time?

She clicked on the communicator and wanted to contact her cousin, but she found that... she didn't know her cousin's ID. She tilted her head and thought about it. Will the cousin think... Even if the name is already faintly dangerous, she still wants to take the name without hesitation?

......

The column of her communicator system channel kept flashing, and then she noticed that the system channel was quickly brushing the announcement. Judging from the content, today is the race battle day of this game. To put it bluntly, a group of NPCs of several races are fighting around with a group of players. I remember that in the game on the left, players rushed to the battlefield to gain achievements at this time. Since my cousin is a famous person, she must have made great achievements.

Then she can stroll around first.
