(: Residual Moon)
Fool rarely went to the Internet cafe and had never played online games. In the Internet cafe, he saw many people playing "Underground City & Warriors", so he joined them. Fool chose a marksman because he thought it was cool.
Thus began Fool's journey in DNF. After entering the game, Fool didn't know how to shoot, so he spent a long time playing hide-and-seek with Goblins. Finally, after completing the mission, he rescued Sylia MM. The NPC Sylia said thank you as usual, but Fool naively typed "you're welcome."
Fool was very stupid and it took him several hours to enter the Hermelton town. Along the way, many NPCs called out to him, which made him very happy. He was glad to have met so many new friends.
After a few days, Fool gradually reached level 16, learned to go to Master Kelly to learn skills, and earnestly helped everyone complete tasks. Every time he completed a task and received some equipment from NPCs, he would be very excited.
One day, just as he was about to enter the map, he suddenly saw a small-sized girl shouting: "Is there any older brother who can take me along? I'm only level 3." She shouted for a long time but no one paid attention to her. Fool thought she was pitiful, so he walked over and said: "I'll take you." Thus, Fool brought her to the Venomous Thunder Ruins. Since Fool was level 16, it was easy for him to fight the monsters there. Fool told the girl to stand far away or she might get hurt. The girl said Fool was very considerate. Fool chuckled. Fool said: "Be careful, you might trip even while walking. You're really a child." The girl said: "Then call me child. I like hearing you call me that." Child said she liked strawberries picked from trees, Fool said: "Then I'll pick some for you." Child said: "You're really nice." Both Child and Fool felt very happy inside.
The next day, Fool skipped breakfast and rushed to the Internet cafe to play the game, because they had agreed to team up and level up the next day... The child hadn't arrived yet, Fool was lost in thought in the game. Around noon, the child came online and said sorry for being late, asking if Fool had eaten. They planned to fight hard in the afternoon... Fool said he had already eaten and was just waiting for her. Thus, Fool brought the child to level up. The child said: "Sister Ice and Sister Fire are so beautiful." Fool smiled and said: "Not as cute as you," the child made a cute expression ^^ On the street, the child saw another magician wearing a set of fashion clothes and cried out saying that if worn on her, it would definitely look better than them. Fool blushed in front of the screen and didn't say anything. He really wanted to buy a set of fashion clothes for the child, but Fool was really poor, so poor that he couldn't even afford the Internet fee. Let alone the expensive fashion clothes in the game, although he didn't know how much they cost. Fool decided he must buy a set for the child. Fool felt like he liked someone for the first time, and as long as she was by his side, it was a happy thing.
So they leveled up and chatted while fighting monsters. The child told Fool many things about the game: On the other side of the West Coast, there is a beautiful Sky City; In the traces of the Celestial Beast, there lives an evil master controlling the kind GBL; In the snowy mountains of ten thousand years, there is a lost-hearted ice youth; In the Dark Castle, there is a former demon-fighting knight who died in battle and could not find peace... Fool listened carefully, realizing how vast the world of DNF was. Fool said: "Let's walk the road together from now on." "Mm," the child softly said. The child also told Fool that she had a big character over level 50. When you reach a higher level, she would give you some equipment. Fool's eyes were moist. It was the first time someone had been so good to him.
Fool, who had never done anything, looked for work. Others asked what Fool could do, Fool shook his head. They all refused him, thinking he was clueless, telling him to look elsewhere. Fool ran around a lot. At a place delivering bottled mineral water, Fool begged the boss to hire him, saying he didn't need much money, just enough to pay for Internet fees. The uncle saw Fool was sincere and pitiful, so he said: "Three hundred yuan per month, five cents per bucket of water delivered. Come tomorrow." Fool kept thanking the boss, and he was happy to have found his first job...
Child was Fool's seventh QQ close friend. Child sent a video request saying she wanted to see the handsome man. Fool dared not accept it, fearing that if the child saw his foolish appearance, she wouldn't talk to him anymore. So Fool told the child there was no video at the Internet cafe. The child said: "Alright then, come visit my space when you have time." Fool clicked into the child's space, which was very pretty. Fool complimented the child on how handsome it was, and the child said it was all self-made, taking a lot of effort. Fool praised the child for being thoughtful. Fool accidentally clicked into the child's album and saw the child's picture. The child with a ponytail smiled brightly and was very beautiful. Fool thought she was an angel, and quietly downloaded the photo onto his phone. Fool thought of the child all night and insomnia for the first time...
At this time, Fool was level 17, and the child was level 15. The child said: "Let's go kill zombies here, there's no experience left." Fool chuckled and said no problem, so they entered the map. Fool's operation was very clumsy, and he didn't know how to use skills, so he failed. The child said: "You're so dumb." Fool apologized to the child and said: "Let's try again." The second time, he also failed weakly. The child pouted and said: "When I was level 18, I could pass the King-level dungeon." Fool blushed and didn't say anything. He thought he wasn't strong enough to protect the child now, so he decided to wait until he got stronger before finding her again. Thus, Fool traded the only 40,000 gold coins he had to the child, and she didn't say anything and turned to leave...
Fool watched the child's frail back disappear, then turned and entered the Dark Thunder Ruins...
Because he didn't have money to buy medicine, Fool didn't know how many times he had been defeated, repeatedly rushing into the dungeon, starting from normal to adventure. When Fool reached level 18, he decisively chose to transfer to a wanderer because he knew the child's big character was also a wanderer, and he completed the transfer mission in one day. Fool believed that as long as he worked hard, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish.
Gradually... Fool started to fight the Warrior-level zombie map, which was still difficult. Along the way, he collected strawberries from the trees, even though he was almost defeated, he didn't eat the strawberries because he hadn't forgotten that the child liked strawberries, and he wanted to give them to her.
After two days, when Fool reached level 19, he could easily pass JS King. Fool thought he could find the child and protect her now, but when he sent a message, there was no reply... For several days, Fool didn't see the child log on, he sent many emails, and also left many messages on the space. Fool had no heart to fight monsters and would return defeated wherever he went. At that time, the child was Fool's everything. So Fool still waited for the child every day. After a few days, Fool saw the child log on, he ran over to find the child, but from afar, he saw the child standing beside a high-level ancient general, and they were walking towards the Sky City on the West Coast... Fool wanted to run over and call the child, but his feet froze. Fool felt sour inside for the first time experiencing jealousy...
The next day, Fool met the child and asked why she hadn't logged on these days. The child said she had been playing her big character. Fool naively said: "Come on, child, I can pass JS King now and can protect you." The child said to Fool: "Go yourself, I'm going to the Sky City. A friend is waiting for me on the West Coast," and placed a purple 20-level revolver gun in the trade window. Turning to leave, Fool realized it was the person from yesterday waiting for her. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. Afraid of losing her and never seeing her again, Fool shouted on the Helmaton Street with courage he had never shown before: "Wait, child, I've always liked you."
The child hesitated and said to Fool: "I won't like a low-level poor fool. I was only with you to level up..."
Fool pleaded: "Give me a chance."
The child mocked: "Come find me when you become a Gun God." The child wanted Fool to know his limits, she thought Fool was too dumb to achieve it. Because she knew how difficult the path to becoming a Gun God was. One person, one gun.
Fool knew Gun God was the title of a Wanderer who transferred at level 48. Fool traded the 99 strawberries and the remaining gold coins to her, only saying: "Wait for me." Then he turned and left. The child, looking at the strawberries, felt a bit guilty...
Without the child's company, Fool felt a little lonely. When Fool reached level 20, holding the weapon given by the child, his heart warmed. This day, Fool was about to complete the last mission given by Uncle Nortan to destroy the Zombie King. When entering the map, he saw a small-sized magician shouting for someone to bring her to JS King. Seeing her, Fool couldn't help but remember the child, and messaged her: "I'll take you." That girl asked: "Can you? How much?" Fool said: "No money." Fool's PL ran out, and he said goodbye to the girl. The girl thought it was strange, there were still such people in the game now, isn't he a fool? Fool was added as a friend and became the girl's first close friend...
The next day, Fool logged on and bid farewell to his friends in Hel Town, setting off on the road to the Sky City on the West Coast. Facing new dungeons, Fool worked hard, progressing from normal to king-level because he didn't want the child to call him dumb anymore.
The girl chose to become a summoner because she thought this profession was comfortable, once the babies came out, she didn't have to fight monsters herself. Over time, the girl found practicing alone was boring, so she wanted to team up with others, but others wouldn't group with her when they saw she was a summoner, saying her babies would lag the game. The girl felt wronged...
One day, flipping through her friend list, the girl saw Fool was online and remembered him,
She sent a message: "Hello!"
Fool saw a window pop up, but he didn't remember the girl, so he just replied: "Hello."
The girl thought Fool remembered her, happily said to Fool: "Let's team up and level up."
Fool was surprised, no one had ever grouped with him, everyone said wanderers were bad for leveling. So Fool said: "Okay."
The girl quickly walked over to find Fool, Fool was level 23, the girl was level 21.
Fool said: "Girl, how do you raise so many monsters?" The girl shouted: "They're my babies, not monsters ==." Fool knew the girl was a summoner. The girl was very happy this day, Fool didn't despise her for lagging, and even helped her complete tasks, thus Fool and the girl reacquainted.
Fool found a scholar wristguard on the road, the girl enviously said it was worth a lot of money, and one day she would have enough money to buy one. Fool said: "Then I'll give it to you." The girl looked at Fool's trash equipment and said: "You should sell it and buy yourself equipment." Fool said: "We can find more later." The girl reluctantly accepted the wristguard and said: "I'll pay you back when I have money." Fool chuckled. The girl thought, originally he really was a fool...
Every day after logging on, the girl would find Fool to level up together. She felt very solid being with Fool. The girl said to Fool: "Be my master." Fool said: "I don't have much skill to teach you." The girl said: "You can bring me along and help me complete tasks," even though the girl could do it alone. Fool felt needed for the first time, so the girl became Fool's disciple.
After Fool and the girl successfully ascended to the final floating city, the girl said: "What a beautiful sky city," Fool remembered the child's words. Originally, they had agreed to walk the path together, but now she wasn't by his side, Fool felt a little sad.
The girl asked Fool: "Master, why did you choose a hard-to-level wanderer?" Fool said: "For a child, the one I like, she's waiting for me." The girl listened to Fool's story about him and her, feeling Fool was silly but also moved, so she said to Fool: "If someone was good to me like that, I'd marry him right away." Fool smiled and said: "You'll meet someone who likes you." The girl decided to help her master reach level 48 faster.
Arriving at the Celestial Beast's Forbidden Ground, they crossed the forest, surpassed desire, and climbed over the first mountain ridge together. Fool felt very relaxed, the girl said: "Master, you're really talented." Fool smiled and said: "Who says I'm your master," Fool just didn't know, because the girl was there. While fighting monsters, the girl lovingly whipped her babies with a whip, telling them to hit faster... At this time, Fool was level 35, the girl was level 34.
This day Fool hadn't come to work yet, while the girl was shopping, she saw a very beautiful 35-level revolver. Although it was a bit expensive, the girl still bought it and enhanced it to +7. When Fool logged on, the girl handed the revolver to Fool and said it was for her master. Fool said: "No need, I have a weapon." The girl knew Fool cherished the weapon given by the child, so she got angry and said: "Master doesn't care about this disciple." Not knowing what to do, Fool had to change to the weapon she gave him, carefully putting the revolver given by the child into his backpack. Only then did the girl smile.
The girl said she wanted to see what her master looked like. Fool only regarded the girl as a disciple, so he accepted the video chat. The girl saw a thin, delicate boy, and felt her face getting red.
Fool said to the girl: "Disciple, you're really cute."
The girl said: "Just cute? Don't I look pretty?"
Fool said: "Also pretty." The girl said: "Dummy."
The girl was very pretty, even prettier than the child.
The girl said to Fool: "From now on, you're not allowed to take other disciples." Fool asked: "Why?" The girl said: "If you have 10 disciples, you won't have much time to level up with me."
Fool said: "Who would choose me, who am both poor and low-level, as a master? There's only you, this silly disciple." The girl laughed.
The girl had fallen in love with Fool, but she knew Fool only had feelings for the child.
In the Storn Snow Domain, Fool saved Chief Charles Ban Tu, giving Fool the title of Brave Warrior. Time passed quickly, soon Fool was level 45. Fool was very happy, being so close to becoming a Gun God, and the girl cherished the time spent with Fool even more.
The girl asked Fool: "Master, if you and the child are together in the future, will you still level up with me?"
Fool said: "Silly disciple, you can't always follow your master. You'll have people you like and people who like you."
The girl murmured: "He has someone he likes..."
Fool said: "You're so good, anyone who doesn't like you is their loss." The girl: "... ..."
As Fool was about to reach level 48, the girl decided to celebrate Fool becoming a Gun God by giving him a present. She planned to personally enhance a rapid-fire revolver to +11 for Fool. The girl never spared money to buy equipment for herself, even though it was cheap. She used the coins she had saved to buy the weapon, but enhancing to +11 wasn't easy. After failing several times, the coins in her bag were almost gone, so she sold all the material crystals and such she had painstakingly accumulated in her warehouse. Finally, she succeeded on the last attempt, and the girl was very pleased.
Today, Fool reached level 48, full of joy, he went to find Master Kelly to awaken as a Gun God. But Kelly told Fool: "Although you've obtained the proof of bravery, it's far from enough for a Gun God. Defeat your opponents and obtain 1000 victory points, then come back." Fool had never been to the PK arena, the simple Fool couldn't win against those cunning people, so he could only earn victory points slowly. To help Fool finish sooner, the girl helped him brush for victory points. After a whole sleepless night, Fool finally awakened, but the girl caught a cold and fell ill. Before logging off, she said to Fool: "Master, congratulations on becoming a Gun God. Disciple's gift wishes you happiness with the one you love." Fool went to find the child... The girl looked at Fool...
It had been over three months since Fool had seen the child. When Fool found the child again, she was already over level 50, dressed as a beautiful elementalist in fashionable gear. Fool said: "Long time no see, I've fulfilled our agreement and come to find you."
Seeing Fool, the child was surprised, almost forgetting him. The child didn't expect Fool to become a Gun God and still come to find her. Looking at Fool's trash equipment but a good weapon, she didn't know how he had managed to get this far... The child remained silent. Fool said: "Child, let's be together from now on." The child thought Fool was just lucky, becoming a Gun God was something anyone could do with patience, Fool only had brute determination. The child coldly said: "When you have a Bamboo Bracelet, Sage Ring, and Ni Ma Beast Necklace, come find me again." The child thought Fool would understand now.
Fool was a simple person. Fool asked the girl where to get these three items, and upon hearing Fool's question, the girl told him that the child probably didn't like him. Fool said: "No, she's waiting for me." The girl said: "Don't be silly, do you know how valuable these three items are? She's just a liar." Fool got angry at the girl for the first time, saying not to speak ill of the child, and dissolved the master-disciple relationship. The girl cried.
For several days, Fool and the girl didn't talk. The girl missed Fool and approached him, saying: "Master, I was wrong." Fool also said: "Sorry." So they re-established the master-disciple relationship. Fool was too poor to even afford a Bamboo Bracelet, let alone the others. The girl said: "If we can't buy them, we'll farm them ourselves." They checked the materials, and found that Bamboo Bracelets drop in the Floating Dungeon. So they farmed the Floating Dungeon, and on the seventh day, they got the Bamboo Bracelet.
Online, it was said that the Philosopher's Ring drops in the Forbidden Grounds dungeon, so they went there. One week, two weeks... Luckily, on the twentieth day, they got the blueprint.
Fool happily said to the girl: "As long as we work hard, there's nothing we can't do." The girl said: "Maybe..."
The last item was the Ni Ma Necklace. Fool and the child farmed Spider Ridge Graveyard for a month, two months...
Fool still believed that as long as he worked hard, there was nothing he couldn't do.
Some things, no matter how hard you try, will never work out, just like us, destined to meet but never meant to be, the girl thought.
The girl bought one online for hundreds of yuan, and during farming, when Fool wasn't paying attention, she threw the necklace on the ground. The girl said to Fool: "Wow, master, we dropped the necklace!" Fool chuckled and picked up the necklace, saying to the girl: "Finally got it, tomorrow we can go find the child. Thank you, disciple, for accompanying me for so long." The girl silently blessed Fool. By this time, both Fool and the girl were level 50.
When Fool found the child again, she was already level 60. Fool handed the three pieces of jewelry to her. Surprised, the child looked at Fool, feeling guilty because Fool truly liked her, but the child already had a husband - that general they had been together with for a long time.
The child didn't want to deceive Fool anymore, so she said to him: "Find a good girl, I'm just a bad child," and returned the items to Fool.
Fool said: "I only want to be with you, no one can replace you."
The girl said: "I already have a husband, sorry. You should go."
Fool said: "Is it something I did wrong? As long as you say, I'll definitely do it."
The girl hardened her heart and said to Fool: "If you can collect 99,999 strawberries, I'll agree to marry you."
Fool still naively said: "Wait for me," and turned to leave. The child looked at Fool and only said: "Forget me."
Afterward, every day in Gran Forest, there was always a level 50+ Fool shouting to buy strawberries. Some people saw Fool shouting every day and intentionally raised the price of strawberries, but even so, Fool still bought them. Soon, the coins he had saved were all used up.
After learning about this, the girl didn't say anything, but quietly stayed by Fool's side, wishing she had
