Chapter 35 Expectations in the Heart

"Xiao Mancao, thank you very much for accompanying me to find Little Annie during this period... I don't want to continue this task. Since she is no longer alive, I decided to go back to the village to comfort her mother, hoping that she can cheer up soon. The man sighed, thanked Mancao, and then used the scroll back to the city.

Mancao always can't grasp the rhythm of the man. She watched the disappearance of the aperture back to the city speechlessly.

"Do you still plan to continue to do it?" The knight standing behind Mancao asked.

"...I don't know."

It was because of an expectation in my heart that I did this task with a man, but now...

She clicked on the task profile, and there was only one sentence on it: Looking for Bohr. And the task reward was replaced by a set of blue pills.

"This task looks real. There is no desire for people to do it at all." She sighed and looked at the pictures of the blue medicine with tears and laughter.

"If you don't want to do it, don't force yourself to do it. Just concentrate on training. Go back." The knight also used the scroll back to the city and disappeared in the light of the aperture.

Mancao stood alone in the middle of the ghost fires. Although she believed in science and clearly realized that it was just a game, but... she decisively clicked the scroll back to the city.

The magic array that returned to the city glowed under its feet, and the aperture flew out of the land, illuminating the whole cemetery in this dark place. In the countdown to her return to the city, she finally looked at Anne's tombstone...

The scene in front of her changed, and she returned to the main city.

The vibrant and fragrant tree in the middle of the main city made her feel at ease. She looked up at the stars all over the sky. Has the girl named Annie ever seen such a sky? Blueberry often says that if the people in the comics die, they will turn into stars. So, will Annie be looking at her mother in the sky?

She doesn't know if the mother really misses her daughter...

But my daughter will really miss her mother...

"Mr. Knight, I'm off. See you tomorrow." Mancao found the knight who was buying drugs, bowed and quit the game.

She collapsed on the chair with a helmet in her arms. The holographic online game is really amazing. She is in her room, but she can be as if she is in two worlds at the same time.

She came to open the curtains to breathe, and the windows of the opposite building were bright. Some residents' living rooms are not closed with curtains. Others can clearly see their home, like a family of three happily watching TV, like a family of three happily playing the piano, like a family of three happily having a midnight snack... Even a family of three can be seen walking happily in the garden of the community.

Mancao walked through his living room and came to the kitchen. He touched the refrigerator by the moonlight and took out frozen cooked food from it to start dinner. He didn't even use a microwave oven to eat ice directly.

Since playing games, there are often only two meals a day on weekends. Get up and eat at a meal and sleep after eating. No one scolded her and was frustrated. No one reminded her that it was time to eat. No one cares what she does at home every day.

At least, she thinks so from the bottom of her heart.

Touching the dark, he washed the dishes, creating the illusion that it was uninhabited here.

Lie down ** and keep thinking about the things in the game. Only in this way can you fall asleep.

She thought it was time for her to see a psychologist.

To live alone, you need to do everything by yourself. This is well done, which is called independence.

Neighbors all praised that there was a child named Yu Mancao nearby, who was such an independent and excellent child.

But for her, if she can choose, she doesn't want to choose such a life. Whenever you open every door of the house, the back of the door is empty. Occasionally, there are traces of coming back, and they disappear without a trace before they are found.

She can only smile politely and helplessly watch the children who are brought to learn "independence" staring at her by their parents.

She gently wiped her helmet with a clean cloth. In that world, although she still can't escape the shadow of Yu Mancao, at least she can do a lot of things that Yu Mancao can't do.

She likes to sit leisurely or lie on the stool or roof in the game to be lazy, because that is something she once dared not expect in reality.

While she is so relaxed, other players are always busy doing tasks, upgrading at the speed of a rocket.

"Little vine grass! Your training speed is comparable to that of a snail crawling... We are waiting for you in the outside world! Do you want me to send Rose to take you to the rocket? You..." The lazy grass lying on a roof immediately disconnected.

"Cranberry grass! I'm waiting for you outside. The girl next door has entered the delivery room! When will you get to level 90? I..." Mancao continued to disconnect.

She just wants to enjoy the rare feeling of leisure. But the way of communication in the game is to upgrade to a similar level, team formation, task, and copy. Her friends are waiting for her to upgrade to the level where they can team up with them.

She reluctantly summoned the wild monster to fight the task and saw the experience crawling fast.

Sometimes I think, will this kind of busy upgrading game life really make people feel happy? What's the difference between it and being busy in real life?

She opened the task list and wanted to see the next task. But she accidentally saw the "search for Boer" that made her have no desire to do it.

At the beginning, you will do the task purely because you want to help the NPC. No matter what kind of task it is, I will work hard with the mentality of "must finish it well". Later, it gradually became to do tasks for the purpose of upgrading. I will no longer care about the background story in the game, the love and hatred between NPCs, and only care about the rewards. You can choose tasks, what kind of tasks are worth doing, and what kind of tasks should be given up directly.

What on earth are you doing now and continue to play games?

Obviously, the heart that once felt happy because of the game has gradually faded away.

The blood in her heart and the uncontrolled footsteps of her brain prompted her to come to Xius Forest again.

How many people know where Annie is? How many more people have received 'Looking for Boer'? Obviously, it is also the task of this game. Everyone has done some tasks, but no one cares about some tasks.

The most important thing is to play games, isn't it to make yourself happy?

And what makes her happy?

Maybe it's like completing the task of "Looking for Anne". Knowing that it may never be completed, the effort is not proportional to the reward, but it is still trying to complete it. Because I want to see Annie's mother's smiling face and see the ending I want to see.
