Card Room - 101

【Chapter 121, Contract】

After leaving the underground casino, Xiao Lou found a public telephone 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 want to find a hotel to settle down temporarily, is there any economical hotel recommendation?” He added: “Can we transfer the consulting fee to you?”

Mo Xuemin’s enthusiastic voice came from ears: “Yes, you can! How many days do you plan to stay?”

Xiao Lou said: “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 can take a taxi to Qingtang District, which belongs to the outskirts of Moon City. The hotel is cheap. I recommend New World Resort Hotel. The environment is good. The price of a deluxe double room is also Only ten thousand hardware coins, I live here. Don’t worry, the law and order here are strict and safe!”

Ten thousand hardware coins, which is less than 150 yuan, is indeed cheap enough.

Xiao Lou smiled and said, “Thank you, Old Mo.”

Mo Xuemin said, “You can contact me if you have any questions after you arrive. I am planning to go back.”

Xiao Lou said: “Okay, which room do you live in? I will pay you the consultation fee at that time.”

Old Mo said, “I live in 507, see you later!”

After hanging up the phone, Shao Qingge wondered: “Why would Professor Xiao consult this person?”

Xiao Lou said: “I met a senior at the train station who makes 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 at the train station? Could it be a liar?!” He used to take the train, and every time he got off the train, some old and aunts pulled him and asked, “Does the young man stay?”, he was scared. , I always feel deceived.

Xiao Lou said, “Are you a liar? Just ask a few more locals.” He glanced at the nearby fruit shop and walked over to buy some fruit. When paying the money, he asked the fruit seller casually: “Beauty , Do you know how to get to Qingtang District?”

The clerk smiled while packing the fruit and said, “Mr. is a foreigner, right? Qingtang District is in the east of Moon City. You are now in the west of the city. If you take a taxi and take the highway, you will be there in about an hour.”

Xiao Lou said: “Are there a lot of people from outside there?”

The clerk said: “Yes, in the entire Moon City, the eastern suburbs are the cheapest place for house prices.”

Xiao Lou thanked her and came out carrying the fruit.

Shao Qingge suggested: “You haven’t eaten yet, right? Let’s eat something casually before looking for a place to live?”

Xiao Lou was indeed a bit hungry. Everyone found a fast food restaurant on the side of the road. Everyone ordered a set meal. During the meal, they also asked the clerk to inquire about Qingtang District. They all said that it is a suburban area with many people from other places. Obviously, the old man There is no problem with the information given by Mo.

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

The taxi driver is a joke. I heard that everyone is going to Qingtang District, so I talked a lot about Qingtang District with Xiao Lou. He also recommended Qingtang Pedestrian Street, saying that there are many cheap barbecues there, and we talked a lot. A must-visit attraction and shopping center for out-of-towners.

Xiao Lou suddenly had the illusion of encountering an enthusiastic driver when traveling to a strange city. He smiled and said, “Thank you, Master, please send us to New World Resort Hotel.”

The taxi stopped near the hotel. Seeing that Ye Qi and Liu Qiao hadn’t gotten out of the car, Shao Qingge leaned into Xiao Lou’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Is Professor Xiao planning to take in this Liu Qiao?”

“Well, she lost all the gold coins in Club 4, let’s take 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 be willing to accept her?”

Shao Qingge shrugged: “As long as she doesn’t hold her back, I have no objection to adding a girl.”

Xiao Loudao: “It shouldn’t be a hindrance. Liu Qiao is smart and cautious, and she currently has three S cards in her hand, one [twin] can copy anyone, one [Little Red Riding Hood], and another one of the Club 4 Zhang [Poison Queen], the strength is quite strong.”

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

Xiao Lou said: “Maybe she has a relationship with the fairy tale card. All I draw are historical figures. Team Yu draws a weapon.”

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

Yu Hanjiang interjected lightly: “It’s enough if you can make money.”

Shao Qingge: “…”

Well, then he will be responsible for making money and lie down to win.

At this time, the taxis of Ye Qi and Liu Qiao, who followed behind, also arrived. The two got out of the car and walked in front of Xiao Lou. Xiao Lou smiled and said, “We are all here. Go to the hotel to check in first.”

The New World Hotel is over 20 stories high. There are two big trees at the entrance of the hotel. The tall canopies are connected to each other and intertwined with each other to form a beautiful natural green 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 extremely spacious, with many green vines hanging down from the ceiling. There are small white and blue flowers hanging on the vines, dotted with dots. The whole hall is like a romantic wedding scene.

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

There are no sofas in the rest area of the lobby, but wooden chairs. The most natural fragrance of plants and trees can be smelled between the nose. This smell is much fresher than the inferior perfumes of many hotels.

The hotel clock points to 23 o’clock.

Xiao Lou took everyone to the front desk step by step: “Is there any room available? Could you please open us three double rooms.”

The receptionist was a young girl with delicate makeup. He smiled slightly and said, “Sir, there is room, please show your ID card.”

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

【Identify card】

Name: Xiao Lou

Height: 180cm

Weight: 65kg

ID card number: 89957741

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

Xiao Lou said: “Five people, live for seven days.”

The girl said: “All guests who check in are asked to hand over their ID cards to me for verification. This is a rule.”

Hearing this, others followed Xiao Lou, found the ID card from the card holder and handed it to her.

The girl took five ID cards to operate on the computer, and then gave them three room cards, saying: “Three double rooms, living for seven days, room numbers are 311, 312, and 313, and the total price is 315,000 gold coins. How do I pay?”

Shao Qingge asked next to him, “Do I have to pay in cash?”

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

Shao Qingge doesn’t have much cash, and he is relieved when he hears this: “Then swipe the ID card, I should have money in my card.”

“Okay.” The reception girl entered the amount on the POS machine, and a mechanical tone sounded in her ear: “Please verify the fingerprint.” Shao Qingge put his index finger up, and the mechanical voice said: “Verification passed, 315,000 gold coins will be deducted.”

Sure enough, the money he made in other secret rooms was automatically bound to the ID card.

The receptionist handed them three room cards and ID cards, and smiled and said: “It’s done. There is free mineral water in the room. Your rooms are on the third floor. Please keep your ID cards and room cards.”

The five took back the cards and turned 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 to the roof, the branches of the big tree are also hung with some beautiful small lights. The scene is extremely dreamy.

It is hard to imagine that house prices in such a beautiful place are only one hundred and five a day.

Liu Qiao whispered: “Mr. Shao, I will pay you back the room fee these days when I have money.” Liu Qiao was very grateful for several people willing to bring her penniless, but of course he was embarrassed to take advantage.

Shao Qingge smiled and said: “No need to pay it back, just as I invite you. We have a lot of money, we will have more bracelets, this little money is nothing.” He has always been generous in money, and Liu Qiao is alone. He was too embarrassed to ask for the accommodation fee.

Xiao Lou asked Liu Qiao: “Where do you live?”

Liu Qiao said: “Whatever.”

Xiao Lou glanced at the three rooms side by side and said: “Girls live in the middle 312. It’s safer.”

At this moment, footsteps came from across the corridor, and a couple walked hand in hand.

Yu Hanjiang suddenly said: “Everyone is advanced to 311. I have something to discuss with you.”

Xiao Lou took out the door card and quickly opened the door and entered the house.

The room is quite big, clean and spotless, two neat wooden beds are covered with white bedding, and the feet are covered with wooden floors.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows are two wicker chairs, and a light-colored wooden tea table that looks like a tree stump—all the buildings in Moon City are in 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 put in the real world, and it will be a very good homestay.

All five of them were 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 ever heard of’World Weekly’?”

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi glanced at each other, their expressions were very dazed: “Weekly in the world?”

Yu Hanjiang explained: “We were picked up by a challenger guild when we first got off the plane and met their president. The other party revealed that after entering the main city, the challenger will not only continue to pass through the barriers, but also must participate in the world every weekend. Zhou Chang.”

Ye Qi was stunned, and quickly reacted: “Is it the same as the weekly mission in the game? Is this mandatory?”

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 may be randomly generated from hearts, spades, squares, and clubs. Weekly missions It is not directly related to the 54 cards on the card wall. It is an independent secret room. It is said that many challengers have never returned after they disappeared over the weekend.”

Hearing this, Shao Qingge couldn’t help but frown slightly: “A week where a large number of challengers participate, if it is a spade-like secret room, it will definitely be very cruel, and the cannibalism between challengers is terrible to think about. ”

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, it is likely that we haven’t had time to go to the subsequent card secret room, and we won’t even be able to pass the week of this weekend. ”

Shao Qingge looked at Xiao Lou suspiciously: “What’s the situation with the Great Guild? The Guild that came to you wanted to invite you to join?”

Xiao Lou said: “Yes, the Faraway Association, their management saw the world announcement that I and Team Yu broke the record in the Heart of the Secret Chamber. They sent someone to pick up the people at the airport and wanted to pull us into the meeting. But we hadn’t found you yet. With Ye Qi, secondly, we didn’t know enough about this guild, so we didn’t dare to rashly agree.”

Ye Qi agreed: “Yes, once this kind of big guild joins, it is bound by interests. Their enemies will become our enemies, just like the big guilds in the game, it’s actually quite complicated!”

Shao Qingge frowned and said, “I personally prefer freedom. The big guild has a huge power, and there are many rules and regulations. There may be internal intrigue… Xiaoye is right. Is this guild hostile? Forces, we should not join rashly before we investigate. Once you join, you will offend a group of people if you want to withdraw from the association.”

Xiao Lou said: “Yes, we are not in a hurry to make a decision. Let’s talk about it when the weekday is over this weekend.”

Ye Qi curiously asked, “Apart from the Faraway Association, are there any other challenger organizations?”

Xiao Lou said: “There is also a large guild called the Eternal Kingdom. They only want to clear the weekly, not to challenge the subsequent secret rooms, and want to settle in the card world. The other is the Luoying Pavilion, which only accepts female players. Currently they only know them. The boss is very powerful. I don’t know the others, there should be some smaller teams.”

Ye Qi said: “If you think of this world as a game, Professor Xiao said that the distant place, the eternal kingdom, and the Luoying Pavilion are all large player guilds. Other small groups should be groups of friends and relatives of more than a dozen people, right? ”

Xiao Lou nodded: “It can be understood that way.”

Ye Qi said: “My personal opinion is that we should set up a small team by ourselves. It is easier to manage with fewer people, and it is easier to unite. The Great Guild is too complicated. I was cheated many times by the Great Guild anyway when I was playing games…”

Xiao Lou smiled and said, “Gui Yuanzhang, the president of the Faraway Association, is a well-known calligrapher. I heard that others are very good, and should not deliberately cheat us. However, Xiaoye’s concerns are also valid, and the inside of the Great Guild is very complicated. In the future, in case we have any conflicts with members of the guild, or encounter hostile forces from the guild, it is actually quite difficult to deal with.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “It’s better to be free. We can make our own decisions if we have anything. However, I want to confirm everyone’s ideas.” His eyes swept across Liu Qiao, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi, and asked, “Three. , Professor Xiao and I have agreed to go back a long time ago. How about you? Do you want to stay in Moon City and live here, or do you have to go back to the real world?”

Liu Qiao said first: “I must go back.”

Yu Hanjiang looked at her: “The reason?”

Liu Qiao’s gaze was extremely firm: “My sister is here too. If both of our sisters were killed in that car accident, what should parents do? My parents are ordinary workers, and they worked hard to train us to enter the university. After so many years, I can’t leave them alone.” Liu Qiao took a deep breath and said: “Not only do I have to go back by myself, if I can find my sister, I want to take her back with her.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded and looked at Ye Qi.

Ye Qi scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, “I want to go back too. In fact, in the real world, I participated in a singing competition and made it to the finals. My dream is to become a singer who can hold concerts all over the country. Although it’s still far from that step, I have been learning vocal music and various musical instruments since I was a child. My parents have spent a lot of money to make me learn musical instruments, so I can’t just give up like that.”

Liu Qiao was startled, and suddenly asked: “Are you the Yeqi who participated in the’China Singer’ and entered the final round? That Yeqi seems to be proficient in several instruments such as piano, guitar, flute, etc. No wonder I always think of you. Somewhat familiar.”

Ye Qi was so proud that he could be recognized by others, and turned his head to look at her excitedly: “Have you seen this show?!”

Liu Qiao nodded and said: “I watched several episodes during the holidays. You sang well in the six-tenth episode. You were in the top three. If you continue, you might win prizes. I remember that after the game, you Weibo The fans have risen to hundreds of thousands, right? The popularity is quite high.”

Ye Qi blushed and said seriously: “I am actually very confident to win the prize, but it’s a pity that there was a car accident on the way to the recording studio.”

Yu Hanjiang never watched variety shows, Xiao Lou rarely watched it, and Shao Qingge was busy making money and had no time to watch it.

The three of them didn’t expect Ye Qi to be a little celebrity with hundreds of thousands of fans?

Did you enter the final round in the singer contest? Shao Qingge looked at him up and down with a smile, and said, “It seems that you have the potential to be a star. The ability to sing into the final shows that singing skills are good, and you look good.”

Ye Qi was praised with bright eyes and scratched his head embarrassedly: “Hey, so I must go back. Maybe in the future, I will become a singer, and I can really have a concert tour.”

Shao Qingge said; “Leave me a ticket when that time comes, and I’ll go to join him.”

Ye Qi nodded vigorously: “That’s for sure!”

Xiao Lou found that Shao Qingge had been chatting with Ye Qi, and couldn’t help but smile and asked, “Where is Mr. Shao? Do you insist on going back too?”

I don’t know if it was an illusion. After hearing this question, Shao Qingge’s eyes flashed sharply. He put away his smile and said indifferently, “Of course, I don’t want to die unclearly.”

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. I was waiting for a red light. Suddenly a large truck turned left at the intersection and rushed from the side to drive in the opposite direction and hit me. I was evasive. I was smashed to death. The day before the accident, I had a conflict with the two partners. I decided to expel them and take back their real power. A shareholder meeting will be held in a few days to discuss this matter…”

Shao Qingge paused, then turned to look at Yu Hanjiang: “Team Yu, you are a policeman, do you think this is a coincidence?”

Yu Hanjiang frowned: “If the brakes of a large truck fail, the body will hit the roadbed when turning left at the intersection, instead of hitting you in a retrograde direction. When turning left, turn into the opposite lane, and the driver must turn the steering wheel at least one more turn, listen. It looks more like a deliberate murder.” He paused, and said: “Of course, this theoretical speculation cannot be used as evidence, and it must be confirmed by the identification of traces on the spot.”

Shao Qingge said coldly: “I am more inclined to-this is a murder.”

His words made the room quiet instantly.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Shao, who has been smiling all the time, is actually in the crisis of crisis in the real world-he is very rich, but sometimes people do crazy things for money and rights. His speculation was not groundless. The two partners might have changed their mindsets. After Mr. Shao decided to kick them away, he became murderous against Shao Qingge.

Shao Qingge squinted his eyes and said: “Whether it is accident or murder, I must go back to find out, but I can’t let those two grandsons embezzle the company I have worked so hard to build. In fact, when Meihua 2 met you for the first time, I I told a lie-the place where I had the accident was in the eastern suburbs of Jiangzhou City. Team Yu was the captain of the criminal police in Jiangzhou City. I wonder if you would like to do this for me?”

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 also have to go back.”

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 everyone has the same goal and got along for such a long time, they understand and trust each other enough-I have a suggestion. It’s been upgraded, and you all sign to my side, so that even if everyone is separated temporarily, every time we enter the secret room, we will be able to teleport to the same world.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “Yes, Zhou Chang will generate many identical copies. If we don’t sign the contract, this weekend’s Zhou Chang, maybe we will be broken up again.”

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi had already agreed to team up with Xiao Lou, so naturally they had no opinion.

Only Liu Qiao…

Xiao Lou looked at Liu Qiao, and said gently: “Xiao Liu, it is better for you to sign here temporarily. You are acting alone now, Zhou Chang is likely to be teleported to a random secret room and separated from us. You alone want to clear the large weekly copy. It will be very troublesome. As for your sister, we can look for it slowly, and if you want to leave the team after you find it, you can terminate the contract with us at any time.”

After careful consideration, Liu Qiao nodded seriously.

Although I have known these people for less than a week, she believed that her vision could not be wrong the last time I cooperated with them in Liuxi Village. Professor Xiao, Team Yu, Mr. Shao, and Ye Qi are all very principled people. Instead of acting alone, following these few people, the possibility of customs clearance will be greater.

Xiao Lou took out the contract, and he needed to pay 40,000 gold coins to upgrade to intermediate level and 170,000 gold coins to upgrade to senior level. When I first saw this condition in Meihua 2, everyone thought it was very expensive, but now there are millions of gold coins in Mr. Shao’s account, which is nothing at all.

Xiao Loudao: “I remember that the senior level is limited to 8-15 people. We are not enough, so let’s upgrade to the intermediate level first.”

He opened the contract and pressed the upgrade button.

After a soft light effect, the contract book turned into gleaming silver-congratulations to Xiao Lou for obtaining the [Intermediate Contract Book]!

Open the book page, the above terms have not changed, only the signature page has been added.

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

Xiao Lou picked up the feather pen that came with the book, smiled and handed it to Mr. Shao: “Sign it.”

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi quickly cancelled the contract and signed it to Xiaolou.

Liu Qiao also simply signed his name on the last page.

——She has a strange hunch.

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