Chapter 126

Huan Yan, who came out of the shower, saw the warm shrimp porridge and delicious tuna sandwiches, her mood was even better, and her whole person exuded a bright atmosphere.

Aunt Zhang left after cleaning, leaving only Huanyan and Xia Tuo in the apartment.

After breakfast, the two sat on the sofa in the living room.

While watching TV, Huanyan waited for her clothes to be washed and dried.

Xia Tuo was reading electronic documents with his laptop.

It doesn't take much time to wash clothes, but it takes a little longer to dry. Huanyan chose a TV channel that broadcasts anime and watched it intently.

Xia Tuo didn't find it annoying, but just put on earplugs to read the documents.

An hour later, Xu Ye came with news about Zhao Ping.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Ye was obviously taken aback when he saw the happy face in a nightgown.

But he has always been reticent, let alone gossip about his boss's personal affairs.

So he didn't ask anything and went straight to the point.

He turned on his mobile phone, clicked on a photo and handed it to Huanyan: "Is this the Zhao Ping you mentioned?"

Huanyan took a look and nodded: "Yes, it's him."

Xu Ye took back his phone and said, "He disappeared two months ago, and the last time he appeared on the surveillance screen was near the reservoir in this city. Since then, there has been no news about him, and no one has been found. .”

"His family suspected that he fell into the water and died. At that time, the relevant departments also sent a salvage team, but the entire reservoir was searched and no body was found. Even the downstream river was salvaged, but nothing was found. The salvage lasted for a month. time, and then his family gave up."

"But three days ago, his body suddenly appeared in the reservoir." Xu Ye opened another photo and put it on the coffee table so that both Huanyan and Xia Tuo could see it. "When the body was discovered, there were no giants watching it." The phenomenon."

The photo was a full-body photo of Zhao Ping's corpse. His body was intact, his face was clear, and there were no injuries on his body, except for two obvious holes on his head, which could be seen as gunshot wounds.

Xia Tuo was afraid that Huanyan would not understand the meaning of "Giant View", so he simply explained: "It is winter now, and it takes about a week at the fastest to form a Giant View. If it is longer, it may take 30 to 48 days. But in the water, it takes about [-] In about an hour, the view of giants will appear."

Huanyan nodded to show her understanding: "So, the absence of the view of giants means that Zhao Ping died not long ago. He was soaked in the reservoir, that is to say, he died within 48 hours when he was discovered."

"Yes." Xu Ye continued, "Relevant departments have checked the surveillance around the reservoir, and no suspicious persons have appeared in the reservoir for a few days, so there is no possibility of dumping the body. And the autopsy results show that Zhao Ping was found on the day Dead. In short, this has become an unsolved case, and no clues about the murderer have been found."

"Understood." Huan Yan concluded, "From Zhao Ping's situation, it is basically certain that if a player becomes an NPC in the game, there will be no corpses in the real world, but will always remain missing. After death, it will appear in a dead state in the real world just like the death of the player."

"Zhao Ping died three days ago in the game, which coincides with the time when he reappeared in the real world." Huanyan pointed to herself, and then to the photo of Zhao Ping on Xu Ye's phone, "I killed him." , two shots, both on the head, exactly corresponding to the two wounds he has now."

Probably because the place where Zhao Ping disappeared was sparsely populated and no one would discover his sudden death, so Zhao Ping's injuries did not have any "rationalization" and were directly shown as the wounds from the gunshot wound.

"However, his body is no different from that of a normal person. It seems that the mutated state will not be brought to the real world." Huan Yan still remembers when Zhao Ping was in the game, the body of the octopus suddenly appeared. Seeing Zhao Ping, who has hands and legs, he is not used to it.

"At least after the death of the player who became an NPC, the non-ordinary human state in the game should not be brought to the real world." Xia Tuo added rigorously.

"Yes, yes, you are the most rigorous." Huanyan echoed casually, and then said, "But I am really curious, what will the living NPC look like when it returns to the real world?"

"I'm afraid this is unlikely to come true." Although Xia Tuo has never experienced the [City of Ruins] game, he has come into contact with quite a few NPCs, and with what Huanyan said, he can logically deduce a general idea. "As a player, you can't leave the game at will before clearing the game. Players who have become NPCs are even more bound by the restrictions of the game, and it is impossible to escape from the game."

"I know, I know, I'm just curious~ I don't really expect this to happen." Huanyan waved her hand, and she looked at Xu Ye, "Xu Ye, why don't we come and discuss it?"

Zhao Ping's matter has been investigated clearly, and the parts she is interested in have been clarified, so she doesn't want to spend any more time on this matter.

So she quickly shifted her focus.

Compared with Huanyan's quick thinking jump, Xu Ye obviously hasn't recovered yet.

Xu Ye was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what Huanyan had just said.

He took back his mobile phone silently, and then said: "It's not suitable here, wait until next time."

"Don't wait for the next time, or you don't know when it will be." Huanyan didn't compromise like last time, but said, "We don't really need to fight, just wrestle our wrists!"

Anyway, she was just curious about who was stronger compared to a body-strengthening person like Xu Ye. In fact, the comparison didn't need to be fought, it could be achieved by arm wrestling.

And there are many skills and experience in fighting, and arm wrestling is more about pure strength.

Xu Ye subconsciously looked at Xia Tuo.

Xia Tuo nodded slightly.

He could tell that Huanyan had waited too long to compete with Xu Ye, and if she continued to wait, she might lose her temper.

It's better to compare now and follow her wishes.

Anyway, it's just arm wrestling, so it won't make a mess.

Seeing Xia Tuo agreeing, Xu Ye agreed.

So she happily sat down at the dining table and stretched out one of her hands.

Xu Ye looked at Huanyan's exposed wrist, which was delicate and small, and always felt that it would break if he exerted a little force.

But he knew that Huanyan was by no means as weak as she seemed. Her small body contained a powerful force that many people could not match.

Xu Ye didn't underestimate the enemy, and used [-]% of his strength as soon as he came up.

With his current level of physical enhancement, he would only use [-]% of his strength to test the opponent's ability against ordinary people, so now he directly uses [-]% of his strength, which is enough to prove that he did not underestimate Huanyan.

But despite this, he still found himself underestimating the power of a happy face.

With [-]% of his strength, there is no way to move Huanyan's wrist.

"You didn't use all your strength, did you?" Huanyan curled her lips, looking unhappy, "Don't try to test it, just try it with all your strength."

Her tone was the same as usual, and there was no sense of effort at all.

If Xu Ye hadn't really felt the power confrontation from Huanyan, just looking at Huanyan's expression and tone of voice, it would make people think that she wasn't wrestling her arms at all.

Xu Ye was silent for a moment before speaking: "I don't want to hurt you."

"It's too early to say that~" Looking at Xu Ye with a smile on his face, "You may not be able to hurt me."

Xu Ye didn't speak any more, but he still didn't increase his strength.

He knew that he might not be able to hurt Huanyan, but he didn't rule out the possibility.

Hurting his companions is not something he likes to do, so he doesn't want to use his full strength lightly.

Huanyan knew Xu Ye's concerns, and suggested: "How about this, if I feel that I can't bear it anymore, I will beg for mercy, and you let go immediately. It will definitely not cause me much harm in such a short time."

Xu Ye looked at Xia Tuo who was sitting on the sofa again.

Xia Tuo had already turned off his laptop at this time, and was looking at the "battle situation" at the dining table.

Seeing Xu Ye looking at him, Xia Tuo said, "Since Huanyan asks, you should try your best."

He also wanted to know where the limit of Xu Ye's strength was, and where was his joyful face.

For him, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, but at least he can figure out which of these two people is the ceiling of strength in the team.

Only then did Xu Ye turn around and say to Huanyan, "I will increase my strength little by little, so that if you feel that you have reached the limit of confrontation, you will have time to speak up."

"Hmm, hurry up." Huan Yan urged.

Xu Ye took a deep breath and gradually increased his strength.

Time passed by second by second, and Xu Ye used more power in each second than in the last second, but Huanyan's facial expression did not change at all, and there was no sign of effort at all.

Seeing this, Xu Ye gradually became more courageous, and his strength increased even faster.

But until he used the maximum strength he could use, he didn't hear the joyful face begging for mercy.

even……

Xu Ye subconsciously looked at Huanyan's face.

On Huanyan's delicate and beautiful face, there was a smile, without any distortion due to excessive force, and there were no raised veins on her forehead, and her forehead was clean without sweat.

She looked like she was effortless.

Xu Ye lost his strength instantly and let go of Huanyan's hand.

"Have you used all your strength?" Huanyan looked at Xu Ye's slightly sweaty face and asked.

"Yeah." Xu Ye nodded, and then said, "I'm not your opponent."

"Hey, I also think my strength should be the greatest." Huanyan showed a very bright smile, like a bright spring, youthful and radiant.

Although she was curious about how powerful Xu Ye was, she still felt that her own power should be greater.

This is a master's intuition.

That's why she advised Xu Ye to use his maximum strength when wrestling his arms.

Therefore, she did not take the initiative to break Xu Ye's wrist, but waited for Xu Ye to break her own.

Xu Ye's inability to break is enough to prove that her strength is above Xu Ye's.

"Can I ask, how much power did you use just now?" Xu Ye couldn't help asking.

"It's rare for you to take the initiative to ask me a question," Huanyan replied in a good mood, "It's about [-]% of your strength."

Xu Ye showed a look of astonishment on his usually expressionless face.

[-]%?

He used [-]% of his strength, but he couldn't get rid of the joyful face that used [-]% of his strength.

If Huanyan is gradually increasing his strength while he is increasing his strength, then his [-]% strength may at most be as strong as Huanyan's [-]% strength, so Huanyan can suppress him with [-]% of his strength.

Xu Ye never thought that the power gap between him and Huanyan would be so large.

He thought it was 01:30 at most.

Xia Tuo was also surprised.

Xia Tuo stood up from the sofa, walked towards Huanyan, and asked, "You can suppress Xu Ye's strength with [-]% of your strength, so when you use all your strength, wouldn't you be able to move several tons?" Something heavy?"

"I haven't tried this before." Huanyan tilted her head and said with a smile, "A smart person like me doesn't need to rely on brute force to solve problems most of the time, so I have never had the opportunity to use my strength limit Woolen cloth."

Speaking of it, she herself didn't know where her strength limit was.

After all, the games she has experienced so far do not require her to overuse her power.

In fact, she just said that she used a few percent of her power, but it was just a rough estimate, not very accurate.

"Anyway, your power is really against the sky." Xia Tuo reminded, "You should not show it to outsiders at ordinary times, or you will be arrested and studied carefully."

"You know, I'm more relaxed when I'm in the game, and I'm usually very careful." Huanyan raised her chin slightly, like a child asking for credit.

"Go and wash your hands." Xia Tuo glanced at the time, "Have lunch here before leaving."

It's 09:30, it's still early, but lunch is usually eaten around 11:30, so there are still two hours left.

In addition, Huanyan ordered food last night, instead of sending Huanyan back to Xia Liangmeng's place, and then sending food there, it's better to eat here before going back.

When Huanyan heard that there was something delicious, she immediately went to wash her hands happily and waited for the lunch to be delivered to her door.

When Huanyan came out after washing her hands, only Xia Tuo was left in the living room.

"Where's Xu Ye?" Huanyan sat beside Xia Tuo and asked.

"Let him go to the restaurant to pick up the meal." Xia Tuo replied.

"You always ask him to run errands, shouldn't he be paid a lot?" Huanyan asked curiously.

"Of course," Xia Tuo replied logically, "He is not only my assistant, but also my bodyguard. I paid him two salaries according to the market price, and there are usually other bonuses. The annual salary is about 200 million. "

 Friendly reminder: don't search for the Giant View
