Chapter 7: The Kites Turn
Xiao Jie snorted without comment. As soon as Liu Qiang was mentioned, he felt uneasy again.

Is Liu Qiang really such a kind-hearted guy?
Could it be that there is some trap buried?
However, no matter how creative Ren Xiaojie was, he couldn't think of any risks in an online game.

Fifteen minutes later, the two arrived at a mid-range restaurant near the community - [Hai Tian Food Court].

Due to the shrinking business and sluggish business in the studio in the past two years, the food prices have been declining again and again. I rarely go out to eat anymore. On weekdays, I just make a stew or cook some noodles to get by. Occasionally going out for beef noodles is considered an improvement in my life.

In Han Luo's words - my mouth is about to become tasteless.

Xiao Jie is happy tonight and plans to take Han Luo out for a good meal to boost morale.

As soon as we entered the store, we ordered four main dishes: braised spare ribs, sweet and sour pork, squirrel fish, and stir-fried vegetables with shrimps. We also ordered four bottles of beer. All the dishes were served in a short while.

Han Luo has been a bit of a mouthfull recently, and now his eyes lit up as he looked at the table of food and wine. "Okay, boss, the food today is pretty good."

"It's OK. When we make money in the future, we'll start cooking four dishes every day. Come on, brother, don't just stand there and watch. Let's start cooking."

Neither of them was the type to be polite, and they picked up their bowls and started showing off their rice.

Xiao Jie eats quickly and finished the fight in less than ten minutes. Looking at the way Han Luo ate his food in big gulps, it was clear that he would not be able to finish the fight in a short time.

"You eat first. I'll go buy some fruit for dinner."

Han Luo waved his hand without raising his head, still chewing.

Walking out of Haitian Food Court, it was already getting dark outside. Looking at the neon lights in the night, Xiao Jie felt quite relaxed.

As the boss of Wuji Studio, he really needs a phenomenal game to boost his career.

He still vaguely remembers the glory of the studio in the past. In that era when online games were popular all over the world, the studio was really thriving and making money easily. Not only did it make huge profits in China, it even expanded its business overseas.

However, with the rise of mobile games and the decline of online games in recent years, it has been difficult for the studio to regain its former glory.

Of course, the biggest problem is that online games are no longer fun. Every time a new online game came out in the past few years, he would download it and try it with great anticipation, but each time he was only disappointed. Game companies only wanted to make money, and the games they made were full of stereotyped and perfunctory work.

And those game studios have also changed from competing in the research of game content to the high-tech tactics of idle scripts.

One computer has more than a dozen accounts connected to it, and gold coins are continuously swiped 24 hours a day, making profits entirely by overdrawing the life of the game. This has completely deprived traditional workshops like Wuji Studio, which rely on specializing in game play to make profits, of their living space.

In the end, only he and Han Luo were still struggling.

Now everything is finally about to change.

The game "Old Land" is indeed difficult, which may discourage some casual players, but the graphics and impact of this game are so amazing that it will definitely set off a craze. As long as the popularity rises, there is no need to worry about no one playing it.

Moreover, high difficulty also has its advantages. The higher the difficulty, the greater the role of gaming technology.

With Xiao Jie's gaming level, he is confident that he can reap the benefits of this wave with the experience and skills he has accumulated over the years.

Xiao Jie was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice a red sports car speeding towards him, ignoring the red light. It was not until a shrill horn sounded in his ears that he suddenly came to his senses. The moment he turned around and looked at the glaring light, his mind went blank.

It's over! Am I going to die here today?
At that moment, Xiao Jie was desperate and unwilling.

It's not that he was unwilling to die at such a young age. Although he was less than 30 years old, he was a person who didn't care about life and death.

The main reason I'm unwilling to give up is that I haven't had enough fun playing this game yet. If I miss out on such an excellent game in my lifetime, I really won't be able to close my eyes.

He jumped up almost instinctively, but without any expectation in his heart. It was a completely instinctive reaction out of despair.

But something he didn't expect happened. The moment his body jumped up, he actually flew into the air, spun around and did a side flip, just like the stunts in a kung fu movie.

The car whizzed past him from behind.

Xiao Jie's body flipped 365 degrees in the air, and landed on the ground in front of him like an acrobat, narrowly avoiding the death-like sports car. It took Xiao Jie a while to recover after landing.

When I turned around again, the shadow of the sports car was gone.

He was covered in cold sweat, and his heart, which had been tense, finally calmed down.

Damn, I almost died just now - wait, how did I do that just now?
Xiao Jie thought with a confused look on his face. He was still kneeling on one knee when he landed. He stood up and recalled the somersault he had just done.

It was just like the reaction of a Kung Fu master in a martial arts movie, but it was impossible!
He knew his physical fitness very well, as he played games in the studio all year round. Although he would occasionally go to the park to exercise and stretch his body, his body was not too bad, but he definitely could not do such difficult movements.

Could it be that adrenaline erupts when a person is in extreme danger?

Or...wait a minute, why does this action just now look so familiar?

A light suddenly flashed in Xiao Jie’s mind—the kite flipped over!
That’s right, this spinning somersault was almost identical to the “Kite Flip” move he learned in the game.

As a man who grew up playing games, he had fantasized about using his gaming skills in real life. When he was young, he practiced sending waves into the air and posing like a rising dragon punch more than once.

But since entering society, he has never had such fantasies again.

I didn't expect that I would have to use the skills in the game when I was between life and death?
This made Xiao Jie feel very unreal.

Am I dreaming, or am I hallucinating because I drank too much?
He rubbed his face. It was only two bottles of beer. He wasn't drunk. And he was definitely not dreaming.

He took a deep breath, thinking that he would know if he really tried it, and then he pushed his feet hard against the ground.

The kite turned over!

He spun his body and did another somersault, landing on the ground cleanly.

It’s true! It’s actually true!
Xiao Jie felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart, and he felt his whole body trembling. In an instant, countless thoughts flooded into his mind.

Could it be that I have received divine revelation and awakened some hidden talent?
Or was he chosen by a certain system and became a host?

Or maybe it’s because of the game “Old Land” that the skills from this game can be brought back to reality?
"Jade Emperor? Laozi? Buddha? God?" he shouted into the air.

However, nothing happened.

"system?"

Still no response.

So was it really because of the game? He still found it hard to believe and couldn't understand the logic behind it.

But it seems this is the only explanation.

What does this mean? If I can really bring the skills in the game into reality, holy shit, that would be awesome. I have only learned the most basic skill now, but I can perform such cool moves. Judging from the CG of this game, it contains a lot of supernatural elements, light skills, internal skills... immortal magic, Taoist magic... If magic can also be brought into reality, then why would I still be carrying bricks?

Directly become an immortal...

wrong!

After a brief moment of fantasy, Xiao Jie suddenly felt that something was wrong. How could there be such a good thing in this world?

Xiao Jie is a very realistic person. Having been beaten by society for a long time, he will never believe in such good things as pie falling from the sky.

Moreover, if this game was really so magical, why would Liu Qiang give it to them for nothing? He was very familiar with Liu Qiang's behavior.

There must be some hidden danger that I haven't discovered yet?
