Rick sat on the bed in the dormitory and watched the New Year's live party with his roommate.

"Boss Lei, I'm looking for someone to play poker or mahjong. There are only three people in our dormitory, which is difficult to play, so it's interesting to play four people!" Hou Tianming suggested.

"Originally, there seemed to be four people in our dormitory. Boss Lei said before that there was a man named Nan Batian, hey! Nan Batian was quite tragic. The protection period for the online novices in the Zhutian online has not yet ended, and he died in the battle of giant beasts to protect the earth." Li Xiaobai glanced at the empty bed in the dormitory and whispered.

"Come on, let's pour a full of wine, and toast the deceased macho Nan Batian. We also pay homage to the players who died in battle and died in order to protect the earth." Rick opened a bottle of white wine, poured a full glass for Li Xiaobai and Hou Tianming, and also filled it with himself.

"Ah, drink!" Hou Tianming said.

Li Xiaobai quickly picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites of the food first, otherwise he would not be able to drink it on an empty stomach.

Lake raises its glasses, three people clinks or, Lake drinks a small cup.

Li Xiaobai and Hou Tianming took a small sip each.

"Come on, I respect ourselves again. As online players of the world, we continue to improve our strength and protect the main world. We will surely take the earth to fly and dominate the universe in the near future!" Rick said with a smile, and after eating the food, he raised his glass again.

Li Xiaobai and Hou Tianming followed and took another sip.

Hou Tianming quickly changed the topic and did not mention playing mahjong or poker, otherwise Boss Lei would have an excuse to toast again.

The three of them were chatting at the New Year party.

The phone ringtone of "Lingling!" rang, and Rick looked at it and it was Bing Ruoxi who called it.

"Hey, are you in the dormitory? I will celebrate the New Year with the deputy captain An Qier in a hotel near the school. Do you need to send you some dumplings?" Bing Ruoxi's crisp voice came from the phone.

Rick looked at the pot cooking dumplings in the dormitory, "No, we'll make dumplings by ourselves in the dormitory. Let's go to Lishi, I'll have dinner with you again. I'll eat with my roommate tonight." Rick said.

"Okay, that won't disturb you having dinner with your roommate. When we are in the world, let's talk again, happy New Year." Bing Ruoxi said.

"Happy New Year!"

Rick then hung up the phone and continued to eat with his roommate while watching the live broadcast of the Earth Defense Forces.

At the scene of this New Year's Gala by the Earth Defense Force, it chose to be at the military base and arranged space warships over the sky, which was to show its strength to the people of the main world.

Let the people in the main world have confidence in the Earth Defense Forces and the future of the Earth.

In addition to singing and dancing, many sketches arranged at the evening party are related to world battles and games in the online world.

The Earth Defense Army soldiers in the small spacecraft far away in space also sent congratulatory messages to the earth to celebrate the New Year.

It's been more than half an hour, "I feel the dumplings are ready!" Rick said as he looked at the pot. He just watched the live broadcast of the party and forgot to watch the dumplings in the pot.

"Is that so? My dumpling skin is a bit thick, and it may take a long time." Li Xiaobai said, and went to open the lid of the pot to take a look.

After reading it, Li Xiaobai immediately turned off the induction cooker.

"Well, your dumplings seem to have failed!" Li Xiaobai said with a smile.

Hou Tianming also went to see it. The pie he had wrapped turned into dough and the meat filling was soaked in the soup.

The big buns made by Li Xiaobai are gathered together.

The ones that Rick had wrapped were broken.

Rick looked at the pot of meat-filled noodle soup, and it seemed that in the end, Li Xiaobai's big bun was not broken yet, so he could barely be considered a dumpling.

The three of them held the dishes and chopsticks and supported them carefully.

One big bun for each person and one bowl of broth.

Let’s drink it, it’s also done by yourself. No matter how ugly it looks, you can eat it.

Rick decided to throw away the remaining half bag of noodles and rolling pin tomorrow, and he would no longer make dumplings in the dormitory.

Fortunately, Rick ordered a large table of dishes, and there were other dishes to eat in the dormitory.

"Boss Lei, after building the space warship, what is the direction of our development on Earth?" Li Xiaobai smiled and ate the big bun he made.

"It should be a robot. In the near future, the main world of the Earth should be able to build a robot factory. At that time, the earth's productivity and combat effectiveness will have a qualitative leap." Rick said, which is also the development direction of the Earth Defense Forces Operations Command.

After all, Angel had already told him before that the Earth Defense Force also asked him to bring out artificial intelligence.

The Earth Defense Forces Operations Command should have planned the direction for the development of black technology on the earth, and just wait for it to bring out the corresponding black technology knowledge.

Alas, Rick is also a little puzzled now. The main world of the earth is to bring out black technology knowledge by himself.

Logically speaking, the protection period for Zhutian Online Novice has ended about half a year. There are so many players around the world, and there should be some people who can bring out special black technology items or black technology knowledge.

But why didn't I hear any other news about black technology knowledge coming from the Earth Defense Force?

The base of Earth players has increased, and there are more than 10 million players now. Even if it is difficult to pass the dungeon, it should be rewarded again.

Rick guessed whether he didn't know the plot of the original work. It was particularly difficult for other players on earth to pass the perfect copy and get high pass evaluations and rewards.

Moreover, other players do not have black technology alchemy rings. Even after passing the level perfectly, they may not be able to bring out the black technology items they want. Zhutian Online may reward them with skills or disposable props, attributes, etc.

If you work harder, you will probably be able to take a vacation by bringing out artificial intelligence.

Rick thought silently in his heart.

With artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence will organize existing global technologies and cooperate with scientific research teams. The speed of the Earth's main world will be able to develop and create new black technology weapons by then.

At that time, you can go to other types of dungeons to focus on improving your own strength, so you don’t have to always think about leading the earth to improve the level of black technology.

"Come on, I've made this cup!" Lake raised his glass again.

Roommates Hou Tianming and Li Xiaobai also raised their glasses and then took a small sip.

The party held by the Earth Defense Force this year was very novel. Rick sat at the dinner table, eating and drinking, watching the party.

Roommates Hou Tianming and Li Xiaobai went back to bed and lay down one after another before 11 o'clock, saying that they would not go back to the dining table.

The two of them had a poor alcohol tolerance.

Rick was drinking and watching the party, and his roommate probably could only watch the party live tomorrow.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, when Rick opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in the hall of the Central Hospital of City L.

Rick found a bench in the hall to sit down, and soon Bing Ruoxi and Angel came over.

"Let's go, I'll drive you to the hotel. I ordered another table of food at around 11 o'clock in the main hotel world. The table of food has just been prepared and has not moved yet." Angel said.

"It's okay to eat, but you can order some wine with me. It's boring to drink by myself!" Rick looked at Bing Ruoxi and An Qier with a smile.

"Okay, today I will have some drinks with you!" An Qier said.

Bing Ruoxi also nodded.

The three of them then left the hospital hall, and An Qier drove to a big hotel next to the University of Science and Technology.

Enter a large private room on the third floor of the hotel. This private room also has a singing speaker and a table of dishes.

Mainly, there are two plates of dumplings that look normal on the table.

Rick sat down, Angel sat on Rick's right hand, and Bing Ruoxi sat on Rick's left hand.

Rick opened a bottle of white wine, and the three of them were chatting while eating.

The Earth Defense Forces also held a New Year's party in the inner world, which has been broadcast live.

It just so happened that this evening party was playing on the big screen singing in the room.

The New Year's Gala broadcast on Lishi is for all Earth players. The content of the Gala involves more about the online copy of Zhutian and the battle situation of Lishi.

This year, the situation of Earth players fighting with players from other worlds was made into a short film by the Earth Defense Forces and played at the party.

In this short film, the battle scenes make people excited.

In this short film, Rick saw several scenes of himself appearing.

In the video, his face was blurred, some were wearing Iron Man armor to fight, and some were controlling the Great Wall rail gun to fire.

"Look, come on, I wish our mahjong team will become stronger and stronger in the new year and all the team members will be safe." Bing Ruoxi said, picking up the wine glass and drinking with Rick.

"Yes, after this year, I will fight for another year. When the strength of the main world of the earth has almost improved, I want to give myself a big vacation, relax and rest for a few months, and I can go home and take a look at it at that time." An Qier said.

Rick picked up the wine glass, and suddenly his right eyelid jumped up quickly.

If the left eye twitches will bring wealth, but if the right eyelid will bring disaster!

Especially when she heard Angel start talking, Rick felt a little like the last words before her death.

Rick immediately shook his head. It was the New Year, and he didn't want this unlucky thing anymore.

I clinked my glasses and drank half a glass of white wine in one sip.

At around three o'clock in the morning, Rick was drunk too.

I lie down and sleep on the sofa behind this large private room.

The sofa is quite big, and Rick, Bing Ruoxi and Angel have a place to lie down.

It was past ten o'clock in the morning when Rick woke up. He shook his head and found that he was still in the hotel private room. Angel and Bing Ruoxi had already left.

I recalled last night, and I got drunk too. After drinking in the dormitory, I came to this hotel to drink again.

I'm not drinking two different white wines, and Rick is a little bit a little bit better now.

After a while, the door opened, Bing Ruoxi walked in and handed Rick a thermos.

"An Qier made you hot tea, let's drink some."

"Okay, where is Angel?" Rick asked.

"I went to the room upstairs of the hotel to sleep. Will you go to the room upstairs? There are empty rooms on the hotel." Bing Ruoxi asked.

When Rick heard that the empty room was gone, he just woke up.

"I'll walk downstairs and can't sleep all day long." Rick said, and after taking a few sips of hot tea, he got up.

Bing Ruoxi did not follow him.

Rick left the hotel by himself and walked alone on the streets of L City.

Rick found that his right eyelid was still jumping from time to time. According to his attributes and strength, there should be no problem with his eyes.
