【Chapter 121, Contract】

After leaving the underground casino, Xiao Lou found a public phone booth nearby, took out the business card in his pocket and called Mo Xuemin: "Old Mo, I am the challenger who asked you to consult the intelligence bureau at the train station just now , We are looking for a hotel to temporarily settle down, is there any affordable hotel recommendation?" He added: "Can we transfer the consulting fee to you?"

Mo Xuemin's enthusiastic voice came from next to his ear: "Yes, yes! How long do you plan to stay?"

Xiao Loudao: "Let's live for a week first, and then find a way to rent a house later."

Mo Xuemin thought for a while, and said: "Then you take a taxi to Qingtang District, which belongs to the suburbs of Moon City. The hotel is cheap. I recommend New World Resort Hotel. The environment is good, and the price of a deluxe double room for one night is also cheap." I will live here for only 15,000 gold coins. Don’t worry, the law and order here is strict and very safe!”

15,000 gold coins, less than 150 RMB, really cheap enough.

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Thank you, Lao Mo."

Mo Xuemin said: "After you arrive, you can come to me if you have any questions. I'm planning to go back."

Xiao Loudao: "Okay, which room do you live in? I'll give you the consulting fee then."

Old Mo said: "I live in 507, see you later!"

After hanging up the phone, Shao Qingge asked doubtfully, "Why did Professor Xiao consult this person?"

Xiao Lou said: "A senior I met at the train station made money by selling daily news. He is very sincere. I will ask him first, so that everyone will not accidentally live in a black shop."

Ye Qi said vigilantly: "I met you at the train station? Could it be a liar?!" He used to take the train, and every time he got off the train, some uncles and aunts would pull him and ask, "Does the young man stay?" He was afraid , I always feel that I will be cheated.

Xiao Loudao: "Is it a liar? Just ask a few local people to find out." He glanced at the nearby fruit shop, walked over to buy some fruit, and asked casually to the fruit seller when paying: "Beauty , do you know how to get to Qingtang District?"

While packing the fruit, the clerk smiled and said, "Sir, are you a foreigner? Qingtang District is to the east of Moon City. You are now in the west of the city. If you take a taxi and take the expressway, you can get there in about an hour."

Xiao Lou said: "Are there a lot of outsiders over there?"

The clerk said: "That's right, in the entire Moon City, the eastern suburbs are the place with the cheapest housing prices."

Xiao Lou thanked her and came out with fruit.

Shao Qingge suggested; "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Eat something casually before looking for a place to stay?"

Xiao Lou was indeed a little hungry. They found a fast food restaurant by the side of the road, and each ordered a set meal. During the meal, they also asked the clerk to inquire about Qingtang District. There is nothing wrong with the information given by Mo.

Since a taxi can take up to four people, the five had to stop two cars and go to Qingtang District together. Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang and Mr. Shao took one, followed by Ye Qi and Liu Qiao.

The taxi driver is a chatterbox. I heard that everyone was going to Qingtang District, so I chatted with Xiao Lou a lot about the situation in Qingtang District. He also recommended Qingtang Pedestrian Street, saying that there are many cheap barbecues there, and we chatted for a few more times. A must-see attraction and shopping center for foreigners.

Xiao Lou suddenly had the illusion of encountering an enthusiastic driver when traveling in an unfamiliar city. He smiled and said, "Thank you master, please send us to New World Resort Hotel."

Taxis stop near the hotel. Seeing that Ye Qi and Liu Qiao hadn't got off the car, Shao Qingge approached Xiao Lou and asked in a low voice, "Is Professor Xiao planning to take this Liu Qiao in?"

"Well, she lost all her gold coins in Club 4, so let's take her with her for a while." Xiao Lou paused, turned to look at Mr. Shao, and said, "If she wants to join our team, will Mr. Shao accept her?"

Shao Qingge shrugged: "As long as she doesn't hold back, I have no problem adding a girl."

Xiao Loudao: "Shouldn't hold back, Liu Qiao is smart and cautious, and she already has three S cards in her hand, one [Twin] can copy anyone, one [Little Red Riding Hood], Club 4 draws another Zhang [Poison Queen] is quite powerful."

Shao Qingge was a little surprised when he heard this: "Really? She draws all fairy tale cards?"

Xiao Loudao: "Maybe she has a relationship with fairy tale cards. I drew all historical figures, and Team Yu drew a hand of weapons."

Shao Qingge rubbed his nose, and said with emotion: "So, I seem to be the most scumbag in the team? Ye Qi still has a few musical instrument control cards, and I haven't drawn any useful cards."

Yu Hanjiang interjected lightly: "It's enough that you know how to make money."

Shao Qingge: "..."

Well, then he is in charge of making money and lying down to win.

At this time, the taxis of Ye Qi and Liu Qiao, who were following behind, also arrived. The two got out of the car and walked in front of Xiao Lou. Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Everyone is here, let's check in at the hotel first."

The New World Hotel is more than 20 stories high. There are two big trees at the entrance of the hotel. The tall tree crowns are connected to each other and intertwined with each other, forming a beautiful natural shade. After entering the hall through the long corridor, Xiao Lou couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

The hall with a floor height of more than 6 meters looks very spacious and magnificent. Many green vines hang down from the ceiling, and small white and blue flowers hang on the vines. The whole hall is like a romantic wedding scene.

The lights in the house are all wrapped in leaves, and the soft light shines through the gaps in the leaves, adding a sense of warmth to the place.

There are no sofas in the rest area of ​​the lobby, they are all

Wooden chairs, the most natural aroma of plants and trees can be smelled in the nose, this smell is much fresher than the inferior perfumes of many hotels.

The hotel's clock points to 23 o'clock.

Xiao Lou led everyone to the front desk: "Excuse me, is there any room left? Please open us three double rooms."

The receptionist was a young girl with exquisite makeup, who smiled slightly when she heard this, and said, "Sir, there are still rooms, please show your ID cards."

Identify card? A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Lou's eyes. But immediately after, he came to his senses and took out his card bag to take a look - sure enough, after entering Moon City, there was a brand new card in his card bag.

【Identify card】

Name: Xiao Lou

Height: 180cm

Weight: 65kg

ID card number: 89657741

There is no birthday on the ID card, but the height and weight are written on it. Maybe this is the characteristic of the card world? Xiao Lou handed over the card, and the girl smiled and said, "How many people are there, and how many days do you want to stay?"

Xiao Loudao: "Five people, stay for seven days."

The girl said: "All the guests who check in should give me their ID cards for verification. This is a rule."

Hearing this, the others followed Xiao Lou's example and found the ID card from the card bag and handed it to her.

The girl took five ID cards and operated on the computer, and then issued three room cards to them, saying: "Three double rooms, stay for seven days, the room numbers are 311, 312, 313, and the total price is 315,000 gold coins. How to pay?"

Shao Qingge asked from the side: "Do I have to pay in cash?"

The reception girl said: "Sir, you can also directly swipe your ID card."

Shao Qingge didn't have much cash on him, so he was relieved to hear this: "Then swipe your ID card, I should have money in my card."

"Okay." The receptionist girl entered the amount on the POS machine, and a mechanical voice sounded in her ears: "Please verify your fingerprint." Shao Qingge put his index finger on it, and the mechanical voice said: "Verification passed, 315,000 gold coins will be deducted."

Sure enough, the money he earned in other secret rooms before was automatically bound to his identity card.

The receptionist handed them three room cards and ID cards, and said with a smile: "It's done, there is free mineral water in the room, and your rooms are all on the third floor. Please keep your ID cards and room cards."

The five of them took back their cards and turned around to go up to the third floor.

The third floor is a circular corridor, each corridor has ten rooms, the middle of the hotel is a hollow structure, planted with a big tree that grows all the way to the roof, and there are some beautiful small lights hanging on the branches of the big tree, The scene is extremely dreamy.

It's hard to imagine that the house price in such a beautiful place is only 150 a day.

Liu Qiao said softly: "Mr. Shao, I will return the rent for these few days to you when I have money." Several people were willing to bring her penniless, and Liu Qiao was very grateful, but of course he was embarrassed to take advantage of it.

Shao Qingge smiled and said: "You don't have to pay it back, just treat it as my invitation to you. We have a lot of money, and we will get more if we sell the bracelet. This little money is nothing." He has always been generous with money, and Liu Qiao is alone. He is also embarrassed to ask for the accommodation fee.

Xiao Lou asked Liu Qiao, "Where do you live?"

Liu Qiao said, "Whatever you want."

Xiao Lou glanced at the three rooms side by side, and said, "Girls should live in 312 in the middle, it's safer."

At this moment, footsteps were heard from the corridor, and a couple walked over holding hands.

Yu Hanjiang suddenly said: "Everyone go to 311, I have something to discuss with you."

Xiao Lou took out the key card and quickly opened the door to enter the house.

The room was quite large, and it was cleaned spotlessly. There were two neat wooden beds covered with white bedding, and wooden floors underfoot.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows are two wicker chairs, and a light-colored small wooden coffee table like a tree stump—all the buildings in Moon City have this "small and fresh" style.

There is an LCD TV in the room, and there is a desktop computer on the table, which is connected to a broadband network cable.

This condition is placed in the real world, and it will also be a very well-rated homestay.

The five people were very satisfied with the environment of the hotel, and each found a place to sit down.

Yu Hanjiang said in a low voice: "Mr. Shao, Xiaoye, have you heard of 'World Weekly'?"

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi glanced at each other, with a dazed look on their faces: "What happens in the world?"

Yu Hanjiang explained: "When we got off the plane, we were picked up by a challenger guild, and we met their president. The other party revealed that after entering the main city, the challengers not only have to continue to follow up, but also have to participate in the world every weekend. Weekly."

Ye Qi was stunned, and quickly realized: "Is it the same as the weekly mission in the game? Is it compulsory to participate here?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded solemnly: "It is said that all challengers will be forcibly sucked into Zhou Chang's secret room world, and Zhou Chang's secret room is random, and it may be randomly generated among hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs. Weekly tasks It is not directly related to the 54 cards on the card wall, it is an independent secret room, and it is said that many challengers never came back after they disappeared over the weekend."

Hearing this, Shao Qingge couldn't help but frowned slightly: "In Zhou Chang, where a large number of challengers participated, if it was a secret room of spades, it would definitely be very cruel, and the cannibalism between challengers would be terrifying. "

Yu Hanjiang said: "That's why I want to discuss with you how to deal with it. If we don't collect clues as soon as possible and win over powerful teammates, we may not have time to go to the follow-up card room, and we won't even be able to pass this weekend. "

Shao Qingge looked at Xiao Lou suspiciously: "What's the situation with the Great Guild? The guild you are looking for

Want to invite you to join? "

Xiao Loudao: "Yes, the Faraway Association, their management team saw the world announcement that Team Yu and I broke the record in the Heart Chamber, and they sent someone to pick us up at the airport, trying to lure us into the membership. But we hadn't found you yet. With Ye Qi, secondly, we don’t know enough about this guild, so we didn’t dare to agree rashly.”

Ye Qi agreed: "Yes, once this kind of grand guild joins, it's a bond of interest. Their enemies will become our enemies, just like the grand guilds in the game, it's actually quite complicated!"

Shao Qingge frowned and said: "Personally, I prefer freedom. The big guild has huge power, and there will be many rules and regulations, and there may be intrigues inside... Xiaoye is right. Is there any hostility in this guild?" Influence, we should not join rashly until we investigate clearly. Once you join, if you want to withdraw from the membership, you will offend another group of people."

Xiao Loudao: "That's right, we are not in a hurry to make a decision, let's wait until this weekend's weekly schedule is over."

Ye Qi asked curiously, "Besides the Faraway Association, are there any other challenger organizations?"

Xiao Lou said: "There is also a large-scale guild called Eternal Kingdom. They only want to clear the customs and don't challenge the subsequent secret rooms. They want to settle in the card world. The other is Luoying Pavilion, which only accepts female players. At present, only they are known. The boss is very powerful. I don’t know about the others, there should be some smaller teams.”

Ye Qi said: "If you understand this world as a game, Professor Xiao's Distant Place, Eternal Kingdom, and Luoying Pavilion are all large-scale player guilds, and other small groups should be groups of relatives and friends with more than a dozen people, right? "

Xiao Lou nodded: "It can be understood in this way."

Ye Qi said: "My personal opinion is that we set up a small team ourselves. It is easier to manage and unite with fewer people. The Grand Guild is too complicated. I was tricked by the Grand Guild many times when I was playing games..."

Xiao Lou said with a smile: "The president of Yuanfang Association, Gui Yuanzhang, is a famous calligrapher. I heard that he is very good, so he probably wouldn't deceive us on purpose. However, Xiaoye's concerns are also reasonable. The Grand Guild is very complicated. , in case we have any conflicts with the members of the guild in the future, or encounter hostile forces from the guild, it will actually be quite difficult to deal with."

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "It's better to be free, we can make our own decisions about anything. However, I want to confirm everyone's thoughts." He glanced at Liu Qiao, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi, and asked: "The three of you , Professor Xiao and I have already agreed to go back, how about you? Do you want to stay and live here in Moon City, or do you have to return to the real world?"

Liu Qiao was the first to say, "I must go back."

Yu Hanjiang looked at her: "Why?"

Liu Qiao's gaze was extremely firm: "My sister also came here. If both of us sisters were killed in that car accident, what would my parents do? My father and mother are ordinary workers, and they worked hard to train us to be admitted to university. After so many years, I can't leave them alone." Liu Qiao took a deep breath and said, "Not only do I want to go back by myself, but if I can find my sister, I also want to take her back with me."

Yu Hanjiang nodded and looked at Ye Qi.

Ye Qi scratched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I also want to go back. In fact, in the real world, I participated in a singing competition and entered the finals. My dream is to become a singer who can hold concerts across the country , Although it is still a long way from that step, I have learned vocal music and various musical instruments since I was a child, and my parents spent a lot of money to let me learn musical instruments, so I can't just give up."

Liu Qiao was stunned, and suddenly asked: "Are you Ye Qi who participated in the 'Huaxia Singer' and entered the final round? That Ye Qi seems to be proficient in several instruments such as piano, guitar, flute, etc. No wonder I always feel that you Somewhat familiar."

Ye Qi was so proud to be recognized by others, and turned to look at her excitedly: "Have you seen this show?!"

Liu Qiao nodded and said: "During the holidays, I watched a few episodes. You sang well in the episode where you were among the top three in score. If you continue, you might win prizes. I remember that after that game, your Weibo The number of fans has increased to hundreds of thousands, right? The popularity is quite high."

Ye Qi blushed now, and said seriously: "I'm actually very confident of winning the prize, but unfortunately there was a car accident on the way to the recording studio."

Yu Hanjiang never watched variety shows, Xiao Lou seldom watched them, and Shao Qingge was too busy making money to watch them.

None of the three expected that Ye Qi would be a small celebrity with hundreds of thousands of fans?

Did you make it to the final round of the singer competition? Shao Qingge looked him up and down with a smile, and said: "It seems that you have the potential to be a star. Being able to enter the finals in singing shows that your singing skills are not bad, and your looks... are considered good-looking."

Ye Qi was praised so much that his eyes lit up, and he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hey, so I must go back, maybe in the future, I will become a singer, and I can really hold concert tours."

Shao Qingge said; "Leave me a ticket when the time comes, and I'll join you."

Ye Qi nodded vigorously: "That's for sure!"

Xiao Lou found out that Shao Qingge had been chatting with Ye Qi all the time, so he couldn't help asking with a smile: "Where is Mr. Shao? Do you insist on going back too?"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after hearing this question, Shao Qingge's eyes suddenly flashed sharply, he put away his smile, and said lightly: "Of course, I don't want to die without knowing it."

Xiao Lou was stunned: "What? You had an accident... Isn't it an accident?"

Shao Qingge said coldly: "I was hit by a car. It was an intersection, and I was waiting for a red light, when suddenly a large truck turned left at the intersection, rushed over from the side and hit me in the reverse direction. I avoided It was too late, and I was killed. The day before the accident, I had a conflict with the two partners, and I decided to fire them.

Back to their real power, a general meeting of shareholders will be held in a few days to discuss this matter..."

Shao Qing paused, then turned to look at Yu Hanjiang: "Captain Yu, you are a policeman, do you think this is a coincidence?"

Yu Hanjiang frowned: "If the brakes of a large truck fail, the vehicle body will hit the roadbed when turning left at the intersection, instead of hitting you in the opposite direction. When turning left and turning into the opposite lane, the driver must turn the steering wheel at least one more time. Listen It sounds more like deliberate murder." He paused, and said, "Of course, this kind of theoretical speculation cannot be used as evidence, and it needs to be confirmed through the identification of traces at the scene."

Shao Qingge said coldly: "I'm more inclined——this is a murder."

His words made the room instantly quiet.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Shao, who has always been smiling, is actually in the whirlpool of crisis in the real world-he is very rich, but sometimes people do crazy things for money and power. His speculation was not groundless, the two partners might have changed their minds, and after Mr. Shao decided to kick them out, they became murderous toward Shao Qingge.

Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes, and said: "Whether it's an accident or a murder, I must go back and find out, and I can't let those two grandsons embezzle the company I worked so hard to build. In fact, when Meihua 2 met you for the first time, I I lied—the place where my accident happened is in the eastern suburbs of Jiangzhou City, Team Yu is the captain of the criminal police in Jiangzhou City, would you like to help me with this?"

Yu Hanjiang did not hesitate: "Of course, this is within the scope of my duties. If I can go back, I will help you investigate."

Shao Qingge nodded: "Don't worry, I must go back too."

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and winked at Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou understood his thoughts tacitly, smiled and took out the contract and said: "Since we all have the same goal, we have been together for such a long time, and we understand and trust each other enough - I have a suggestion, why don't I put the contract first It has been upgraded, and you all sign in to my side, so that even if everyone gets separated temporarily, every time we enter the secret room, we will be able to teleport to the same world."

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "That's right, Zhou Chang will generate many identical copies. If we don't sign the contract, Zhou Chang this weekend might break us up again."

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi had already agreed to form a team with Xiao Lou, so naturally they had no objections.

Only Liu Qiao is left...

Xiao Lou looked at Liu Qiao, and said softly, "Xiao Liu, why don't you sign here temporarily. You are acting alone now. Zhou Chang is likely to be sent to a random secret room and separated from us. You want to clear the large Zhou Chang dungeon alone. It will be very troublesome. As for your sister, we can find it slowly, and if you want to leave the team after you find it, you can also terminate the contract with us at any time."

After careful consideration, Liu Qiao nodded seriously.

Although she had known these people for less than a week, she believed that her vision was right when she cooperated with them in Liuxi Village last time. Professor Xiao, Captain Yu, Mr. Shao and Ye Qi were all very principled people. Instead of acting alone, following these few, the possibility of customs clearance will be greater.

Xiao Lou took out the contract, requiring an additional 40,000 gold coins to upgrade from elementary to intermediate, and 170,000 gold coins to upgrade to advanced. Everyone thought it was expensive when they first saw this condition in Plum Blossom 2, but now Mr. Shao has millions of gold coins in his account, and this amount of money is nothing at all.

Xiao Loudao: "I remember the advanced level is limited to 8 to 15 people. We don't have enough people, so let's advance to the intermediate level first."

He opened the contract and pressed the upgrade button.

After a burst of soft light effects, the contract turned into gleaming silver—congratulations to Xiao Lou for winning the [Intermediate Contract]!

When I opened the book page, the clauses on it remained unchanged, but a signature page was added.

The limited number of people has also been changed from 2 to 5 people.

Xiao Lou picked up the quill that came with the book, and handed it to Mr. Shao with a smile: "Let's sign it."

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi quickly terminated the contract and signed it to Xiao Lou's.

Liu Qiao simply signed his name on the last page.

—she had a strange premonition.

——The people in this contract may, perhaps, really be able to create miracles and become the first team to leave the card world.

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to the initial formation of the 5-person small group!

Will continue to add people in the future, everyone :)
