Chapter 12 It's not easy to become the protagonist

"What do you mean by cell phone?" Seeing Wang Yao staring at the phone like a puppet, Luna couldn't help but ask.

"To put it simply, it is a high-tech product from our hometown. Uh, to you, it is a magical thing that I cannot explain."

"Oh, Earth again." Luna suddenly felt that Wang Yao's hometown was a magical place, because whenever she had questions, Wang Yao's final explanation was the word "hometown". For example, if the dishes he cooked were delicious, Wang Yao would say they were from his hometown. If there were some nouns she didn't understand, Wang Yao would also say they were the dialect of his hometown, etc.
"I wish I could go to your hometown with you someday. It must be a magical place!" Luna said longingly, supporting her pointed chin with both hands.

"This may be difficult at the moment. At least I think that returning to my hometown may require solving many problems." Wang Yao said absentmindedly while solemnly picking up the black sword.

Wang Yao didn't understand why the cell phone he lost two years ago had such magical functions in this alien world, nor did he understand what principle it was operating on. But he at least knew that this iron sword that consumed Luna's 250 gold coins was a basic equipment in the game and had a physical attack bonus!

Holding the hilt, Wang Yao slowly raised the black sword. In an instant, a heat suddenly poured into Wang Yao's hands through the hilt. This was a magical heat, because it made Wang Yao clearly feel a magical "sense of power". It was this sense of power that made the black sword, which should have been quite heavy, seem as light as a feather in his hands!
Luna, who originally wanted to ask the question "Why is it so difficult to return to my hometown", was stunned when she saw Wang Yao raising his sword, because she suddenly sensed that the breath of the man in front of her seemed to have subtly changed.

Luna had only sensed this kind of subtle change in "heroes"—

"How are you?" Luna asked subconsciously.

"Ah? Me? Me?" Wang Yao seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then his face was filled with joy that could not be concealed: "I feel great!"

Holy shit! !
Wang Yao's mood at this moment was much more pleasant than when he got a five-kill super god! It was like Spider-Man waking up and finding that his skinny self had turned into a muscular coach overnight.

I am so overjoyed! I can't say more!
This mobile phone was originally just a souvenir from his hometown. After all, in this alien world, there is no satellite signal, and mobile phones have lost their value of existence. But now it is different, because of the existence of this mysterious "equipment purchase interface", this mobile phone will become a huge turning point in his life!

Objectively speaking, in this alien world where cold weapons and superpowers are intertwined, without extraordinary talents or various natural gifts, Wang Yao believes that the chance of saving his life is probably less than one in ten, which is why he resisted joining the Shu Kingdom Legion.

On the surface, Wang Yao, like many others, claimed to be extraordinary, but the person who knew him best was often himself. In his heart, he was very aware of his weakness. How could the battlefield be a joke? A weak person like him was basically the same level as cannon fodder. On the battlefield, he might be the first to die, or he might die in the middle of the battle, but it was very unlikely that he would be the one to survive.

Some people may think that this is an exaggeration, but in fact, it is neither an exaggeration nor a pessimism. Have you watched enough war movies? And in history, how many people have claimed to be extraordinary? How many of them finally left their names in history?

Just like the protagonists in YY novels who travel through time and space, without certain luck, special talents, and strong qualifications, how many of them can survive to the end? Don't be ridiculous! Personal heroism is just a bad product produced in the era of vanity. You are not the only one among billions of lives who is qualified to be the protagonist. Those who can reach the top all have unique resources.

Some may be extremely lucky, some may be extremely talented, or some may be blessed by heaven and earth and turn misfortune into fortune. This is a despairing fact, those who reach the top are destined! And Wang Yao thinks he has none of these.

But now it’s different, because of the emergence of the mysterious interface, he also has the capital to reach the top in the future!

Cai Wenji's healing ability is too high?

Take it, Nightmare Fang, Blade of Justice, let the little Loli experience what despair is!

Was Liu Bei bullied by Sun Shangxiang again?

Take it, Bloodthirsty Blade, don’t come back if you can’t beat the girl!
Guan Yu is being chased by Lu Bu?
Take Po Jun away, and if you still can’t win, bring your head to me!

At this moment, the delighted Wang Yao seemed to have seen the near future. He would command Liu, Guan and Zhang to trample on the Eastern Wu and punch the powerful Wei. He would dominate the Three Kingdoms and sweep the entire continent as a hundred-star king!
And that Zhuge Liang who steals the show! Being with this guy will shorten your life by a few years. Yes, from now on, during military meetings, he will just stand outside the tent and guard the door! Hahahaha——

Putting down the black sword in his hand, the "sense of power" lingering between his hands also disappeared. Wang Yao couldn't help but sigh that God has been very kind to him!
"Are you okay?" Looking at Wang Yao who was laughing foolishly, Luna asked worriedly. At the same time, she felt a little strange because the "subtle aura" on Wang Yao was gone. Was it an illusion?

"I'm fine!" Wang Yao replied excitedly. He looked at Luna and wanted to kiss her on the cheek. If she hadn't accidentally taken his phone and triggered the hidden system, he wouldn't have discovered the secret of this purchase interface. He said proudly, "Sister, I'll protect you from now on! If Zhang Fei dares to bully you again, tell me and I'll help you teach him a lesson!"

"Hehe, where do you get all this confidence from?" Luna looked at the man in front of her who suddenly became so ambitious with amusement, and then smiled sweetly.

"You do not believe?"

"It's not that I don't believe it. General Zhang is a famous tank-type hero who can defeat thousands of enemies. How can you be so weak?"

Seeing Luna's suspicious expression, Wang Yao picked up the black sword and said angrily, "Sister, let me open your eyes today. Look, this iron sword that cost you 250 gold coins, do you know how much damage it adds? Do you know how many ultimate weapons can be synthesized based on it? Do you know..."

Luna suddenly waved her hand and interrupted, "Stop, let's not talk about this for now. I don't understand your Earth dialect very well, but what do you mean by the iron sword that cost me 250 gold coins?"

Wang Yao, who was talking nonstop with introductions and questions, came to an abrupt halt, just like a singer singing a love song affectionately but suddenly burped loudly. It was so awkward, extremely embarrassing.

"Uh, this. This." "What does it mean?"

Although Luna is a naive girl, if you really think of her as a silly girl, then you are too naive!

If possible, Wang Yao really wanted to slap himself in the face. He was so emotional that he said everything he should and shouldn't have said. Impulsiveness is really the devil.
Don't get me wrong, now that he knows the real reason why Luna lost her gold coins, Wang Yao will definitely tell her frankly. However, he knows in his heart that traditional virtues must be promoted in appropriate occasions, otherwise it will only backfire. Just like now, Luna's gold coins were just stolen, and in the blink of an eye, it was related to him. In this case, any explanation you give will sound like an excuse.

It is necessary to tell the truth, but at least now is not the time.

"Hey, girl, are you hungry? How about I..." Wang Yao pretended to get up.

"I'm not hungry, come back." Luna shook her head: "You haven't answered me yet, what do you mean?"

"Look, this black sword is beautiful, isn't it?"

"What do you mean?" Before he could finish his words, Luna interrupted him and asked again: "What does it mean?"

"."

Although a stubborn girl is sometimes silly and cute, she can also make people collapse sometimes. Luna is almost such a girl who makes people love and hate her. Once this kind of woman gets stuck in a dead end, ten cows can't pull her back!

Looking at Luna's pure and sharp eyes, Wang Yao sighed and could only admit his fate and said frankly: "Well, in fact, your lost 250 gold coins are related to me."

"You mean, you are the thief?!" Luna covered her mouth in surprise.

“Well,” Wang Yao lowered his head in shame, and then he was stunned. He screamed and changed his words: “No, that’s not right! How could I be the thief? Damn, you almost took me there!”

"Then tell me, why do my 250 gold coins have anything to do with you?"

"Things are not what you imagined. In fact, it's all because of this phone. Didn't you press the buy button on the phone screen? If I'm not mistaken, this is a special purchase interface that can consume the holder's money to transform it into virtual items that originally only existed in the game. I just found out that your gold coins were not stolen by anyone, but were transformed by the non-physical void. That's why we have this iron sword inexplicably in our house. Uh, do you understand?"

Luna shook her head in confusion: "There are too many dialects in your hometown, I don't really understand them."

Wang Yao covered his face in pain. This was the generation gap in communicating with aliens! If anyone dared to say that they were looking forward to meeting ET, he would definitely give them a slap on the face and say: Have you watched too much Hollywood?!
Luna was silent for a moment, then said, "In short, you spent my gold coins, right?"

“——Me!” Wang Yao knew that he couldn’t explain it clearly, so he could only compromise in frustration: “Okay, if this explanation is easier for you to understand, then you can also understand that the gold coins were spent by me.”

Unexpectedly, Luna's reaction was much bigger than expected: "How could you do this! That's my savings for more than a year, it's very important! And you spent it all?"

Seeing Luna's eyes full of mist, Wang Yao was at a loss and said, "Hey, don't cry. Although it was involuntary, I will be responsible for you! Uh, no! I will save the gold coins and return them to you! - Wait." Then he turned with a look of shock: "Damn it! You said it took you a year to save just 250 gold coins?!"

"Yes!" Luna puffed up her cheeks and nodded.

Luna actually saved up for a year to buy this most basic piece of equipment?!

Wang Yao suddenly realized a very important problem. When he went to the base camp for an interview, Zhuge Liang seemed to have told him that the monthly salary of Shu soldiers was 7 silver and 20 copper. If converted, it was less than 1 gold coin!

Wang Yao was petrified: "Can I ask a question? How much salary do you heroes earn in a month?"

"Five gold coins." Luna said angrily, "But my salary is the lowest. Brother Yu and his friends get 5 gold coins every month."

Wang Yao felt dizzy. "This is how a so-called hero is treated?! 12 gold coins? Is that a lot? Is that a lot?!"

Luna pouted and said, "Come on, this is already a lot. Think about it. This building of yours is located in a prosperous area of ​​Jingzhou. It has such a good location and such a large space. It costs 185 gold coins. This is already very expensive! For an ordinary family, the monthly expenditure may be less than 6 silver coins."

oh, my, god! !
Wang Yao was stunned, as if struck by a bolt from the blue! He opened the purchase interface on his phone and saw equipment that cost 2000 gold coins. Then he looked at the prices in Shu. These were clearly the housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The income in a th-tier city was nothing!
If he collected all six sets of magic equipment, wouldn't he be able to buy the entire Jingzhou? But he was already rich enough to rival a country, why would he still collect magic equipment? !
　Because I work 9 hours a day, the updates have been as slow as a turtle. But even though I update slowly, I still have to shamelessly say that I would like to ask for your recommendation votes and collections.
