Chapter 64: The Meeting
Luo Ji wasn’t in too much of a hurry.
On the way, he didn’t forget to grab a few buns for breakfast, but honestly, they weren’t as tasty as he had anticipated.
There was flavor, but he wasn’t sure if it was because he was used to eating in the game, but the taste of the low-quality pork made him feel subtly uncomfortable.
Compared to it, the tofu buns were much better.
Too lazy to dwell on it, he quickly rushed to Z-University’s admissions office.
After running back and forth and filling out some irrelevant forms, he finally completed the enrollment procedures.
After walking out of the office, Luo Ji felt a sense of relief mixed with a hint of miscalculation.
He had been careless, he almost forgot that after enrollment, there was a one month military training period!
“Tsk! I should have just let reality collapse then…”
Luo Ji’s expression clearly showed a headache as he mumbled to himself.
One month of military training meant he would be under strict management for the next month.
In other words, he might not be able to log into the game for a month.
Are you kidding me?
His newcomer protection period in the other world definitely wouldn’t last.
But if he were to log back in immediately and switch to stop mode, even if it only cost 500 civilization points per day during the newcomer protection period, thirty days would be 15,000 points.
Even if he lost everything, it wouldn’t be enough!
However, with some manipulation, it wasn’t impossible, for example, constantly switching between the two modes.
Although troublesome, it was feasible.
But the main point wasn’t here.
The main point was, what if something happened to his tribe in the other world during military training?
Could he log in on the spot?
Too many unknown questions made Luo Ji’s head spin.
He urgently needed an old veteran to guide him, and if they could also help him solve the military training problem, that would be even better.
He glanced at the time.
There was still an hour until his agreed meeting with Gao Su, but Luo Ji arrived at the coffee shop early.
Then, with a ‘desperate attempt’ mindset, he dialed Gao Su’s mobile phone number.
“Hello, this is Luo Ji. Are you…”
“Coffee shop, private room 2.”
The concise and clear answer made Luo Ji realize that the other party was already in the coffee shop, which surprised him a little, as it was still an hour before the agreed time.
He hadn’t expected Gao Su to arrive so early.
Pushing open the coffee shop door, as a café located right at a university entrance, it wasn’t particularly high-end, but the environment was decent.
As Luo Ji was thinking this, a staff member’s voice chimed.
“Welcome, how many?”
“I have an appointment. Private room 2.”
“Alright, please follow me.”
Led by the staff member, Luo Ji entered private room 2 and subconsciously glanced at the person already seated.
He had to admit, Gao Su’s appearance surprisingly matched his imagination, featuring short, messy black hair.
The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and the calm black eyes behind the lenses made him exude an aura of calmness and wisdom.
His well-defined face showed little expression, or rather, it was completely expressionless, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.
“Gao Su?”
Calm black eyes faintly swept over Luo Ji, who was standing there. Gao Su’s voice echoed in the room.
“Sit.”
“Order whatever you want.”
“It’s on me.”
He didn’t stand on ceremony, mainly because he had only eaten a few buns that morning, and it was already noon, so he was genuinely hungry.
He directly ordered a Mapo Tofu over rice.
This could be considered a national specialty, it was probably only in their coffee shops that such a staple like a rice bowl would appear.
After ordering, Gao Su closed the laptop in front of him and calmly began.
“You came an hour early. It seems you’ve run into trouble. Military training?”
“So, do you have a solution?”
Luo Ji spread his hands awkwardly, but wasn’t too surprised.
After all, it wasn’t hard to guess, isn’t it common knowledge that university freshmen have military training?
He had just been too busy before and hadn’t remembered it.
“Actually, there’s a very simple solution.”
“What solution?”
“Just skip it.”
Gao Su’s expressionless face made it very difficult to tell if he was joking or not, leaving Luo Ji unsure whether he should retort.
“Skipping a month of military training would have severe consequences, wouldn’t it? Do you want my recently salvaged real life to collapse again?”
“It doesn’t matter if it collapses, does it? Why not just live in the other world permanently?”
“Uh, are you serious?”
Although Luo Ji had fleeting thoughts of ‘living forever in the other world’ before, if he were truly told to live there permanently, he honestly wouldn’t know how to react, as Luo Ji’s subjective consciousness was still rooted in being a modern person.
“The actual situation is, many players do that.”
Gao Su’s voice chimed again.
“I once tried staying in the other world for three consecutive years, and it proved to be perfectly fine.”
“Moreover, in the other world, as a player, you can do whatever you want to a certain extent.”
“A lot of players have even become emperors in their respective civilizations, completely abandoning this real world.”
Luo Ji rubbed his temples hard, processing what Gao Su had said.
Indeed, following that development pace, they could certainly establish a monarchy and become emperors in the other world.
It was achievable, but letting go of this real world made him hesitate.
At the same time, hearing this, Luo Ji also detected a problem.
“What about you? Didn’t you also stay in the real world?”
“My situation is a bit special.”
Facing Luo Ji’s question, Gao Su remained calm.
“Simply put, I have an enemy in the game.”
“It started with just two accidental fights with him, but those two fights seemed to have ‘bullied’ him quite badly, so that guy couldn’t swallow his pride and decided to fight me to the death.”
“It wouldn’t have been a big deal normally, even if it was a fight to the death, I had the advantage.”
“But the other party ganged up, leveraging their numerical superiority to overpower me, making it difficult for me to defeat them quickly.”
“So, I returned to the real world to lay low for a bit and find allies…”
Alright, this kind of thing happens in many games, especially competitive ones.
Two groups often end up getting angry from fighting each other.
Luo Ji had encountered it many times before.
But the problem was that when Gao Su mentioned the word ‘allies,’ he glanced at Luo Ji, which made Luo Ji’s heart pound!
“Uh, allies?”
“Mhm.”
“Me?”
“Mhm.”
“…”
