69novels Chapter 155
Chapter 155
This game is actually not fun at all.
The process that all players can operate is nothing more than collecting the light spots from the sun on the page of the universe, and then watching the number in the upper left corner of the screen become larger. This process is just mechanical labor, without any thinking, even if a Monkeys can do it too.
But Lex still played the game over and over again, counting when those blobs would grow, harvesting them and storing them at every perfect moment.
Then just wait.
-
It seems like an endless wait.
-
The protagonist of the game, S, Lex called him that, since the game didn't give his name, nor did it give players the right to name him.
I've mispoken.
The game doesn't give the player any kind of power.
Except waiting and watching.
The player can wait when S is out, and watch while S is at home.
The playability is very low, but I don't know why, it's just so inexplicable, Lex persisted.
-
S always sends back a lot of postcards every time he goes out. The number of postcards saved in the button representing "Album" quickly exceeded [-], but S never writes on the postcards. The backs of all postcards are empty, just floating With an "S" shaped mark.
Opposite this is another button representing "backpack", which Lex guesses should be used to store gifts.
But S never sent any gifts back.
When he was not at home, he was often visited by people. The most frequent visitor was a human being. He would fly into the hall of his home wearing a gold-red color armor, and then leave his battle armor at the door, dangling and staggering He staggered out of the armor, threw himself on the floor, and fell into a dark sleep.
When he left, he also flew away wearing a battle armor. After he left, a small exclamation mark appeared on the "backpack" button. Lex clicked on the "backpack" and found that the visitor left a gift.
A chocolate castle.
-
Lex puts the chocolate castle on the ice field.
S's ice crystal house was built in the polar region, which Lex had discovered early on, but it took him a while to turn the viewing angle of the screen and project the ice crystals on the screen onto his own screen.
In this game, there seems to be a very, very vast world that has nothing to do with him.
-
All he can do is watch and wait.
He hates it.
-
To Lex's surprise, S likes chocolate castles very much.
After receiving this gift, he stayed at home for a whole week without going out, either walking up and down the glacier in a daze, or doing carvings in his handicraft room.
S loves carving, which Lex discovered early on, S carves every friend who appears on his postcards, and then puts those sculptures neatly on display racks, sometimes he will stand in front of those sculptures , just enjoy quietly.
I should be in his hands too, Lex thought, but not on this display shelf, but somewhere alone, in S's bedroom, or on his desk.
Lex was taken aback by his own thoughts.
-
The visit of the man in armor was just the beginning. Since then, people have been coming here after S left home. They are of different genders and dressed in different clothes. They all dress up like Earth humans.
Lex searched for these people, but couldn't find any of them on Earth.
These visitors are very quiet. After coming, they almost just walk around the hall, go to the library or other places that are not private, and when they leave, they will leave their gifts.
A few bottles of potions with no marked effects.
A magic pistol.
A branch broken off from the world tree.
Fresh and juicy exotic fruit.
Small animals.
Silver bracelet.
-
S's home gradually became lively, and whenever he received a gift he liked, he would spend more time at home.
-
At night, Lex habitually turned on the phone screen and saw S sitting at the desk reading a book.
"Romeo and Juliet".
-
Maybe he stared at S for too long, the man on the screen put down the book and looked up.
His expression was so vivid, as if he could actually see the person looking at him through the screen.
So Lex smiled at the delusion.
He stretched out his hand and tapped S's cheek lightly.
"My generosity is as vast as the sea, and my love is as deep as the sea; and the more I give you, the richer I am, for both are inexhaustible. Good night, good night," he said softly , "Parting is such sweet sorrow."
-
S looked at him quietly, and after a while, he showed a warm smile.
-
He left the house again the next day, heading out of Lex's reach.
Lex received a new postcard.
S stood in front of the sun, with his back facing the camera controlled by someone unknown. The red cloak was suspended in the air, and he did not look fading even in the sun.
-
On the back of the postcard was written a line of small characters in silver-green ink.
"No matter what sad consequences will happen in the future, it can't compare to the joy I saw in this short minute of seeing him.
Kal． El"
-
"Kal. EL." Lex whispered again.
He looked at the person on the screen and said to himself: "Nonsense, you have never seen me."
-
Kal looked at Lex and smiled.
