The Midnight Owl

From the content, to the strategy, from the key issues, to the extra reminder, Wu Sheng purified and streamlined all the 3/23 information given by Mao Qiping, and then entered it into the mobile phone memo, which was still densely occupied.

Xu Wang listened carefully throughout the process, and finally took Wu Sheng’s mobile phone to consolidate his memory from beginning to end. I really feel that the price of 400 yuan is simply the conscience of the industry.

After finishing the third hurdle, we will come to the most important moment, the endless sea.

“The four lighthouses represent the destinations of four routes. There are treasure chests in the lighthouses on the East and West Treasure Beach, where money or stationery can be opened. In the lighthouses on the north and south flying islands, there are flying ships, which can be taken to any coordinates …”

Mao Qiping just opened his head, and the five-in-one “ding —-” sounded on and off the ship at the same time

: North Flying Island (1/3), the first ship sails into the clouds.

The four people looking at the scrolling information on their arms are all startled. Has anyone reached the destination or even successfully entered the lighthouse? What does (1/3) in the brackets mean?

It seemed that I was used to this kind of question. Before waiting on the ship, Mao Qiping directly uttered a puzzle to answer the question: “A team or a person has arrived at the North Flying Island and has broken the lighthouse. There are two places left.”

“Where?” Xu Wang heard the clue.

“There are three places in the four destinations, each on a first-come-first-served basis.” Mao Qiping said, “Once the quota is full, the lighthouse is closed directly and it is useless to go to the island.”

“It’s too fast …” Qian Ai glanced at the phone, just an hour has passed since they entered. It feels like an exam. You still do the previous multiple-choice questions on your side. They have already handed in the papers.

Mao Qiping has been surprised: “The teams that can choose the flying island are basically prepared to go to the next level of coordinates. The speed is of course fast. But the endless sea is a little better, even if the competition fails. The punishment is just a busy night. “

“Can an individual climb the tower?” Wu Sheng cares about “a team or a person” that Mao Qiping just said.

“Yes, Endless Sea is different from the level. Groups do not form teams, they are treated equally, and individuals are also counted as a team. After ascending the tower, they also occupy a place.” After Mao Qiping was affirmed, he turned again, “but it is difficult for individuals to compete with the team. First, the floating ball is not as fast as the sailing boat. Second, if you meet other teams on the island and compete for the tower, there is no chance of winning a pair of four. “

“Understood.” Wu Sheng nodded and closed his eyes.

The remaining three partners looked at each other, um, this is to start to update the rule book again.

“Speaking back to the lighthouse,” Mao Qiping put it right, “The two flying islands have the same effect, and the Treasure Beach is the same. The difference is only the direction of the route, so do you want to open the treasure chest now, or do you want to go to the next coordinate point?

Xu Wang understands that Mao Qiping should provide two strategies for providing routes and lighthouses according to their choices. After all, they paid for one route, and they cannot be said by all four.

Regarding the choice of the route, in fact, four people have discussed it before. Xu Wang confirmed it with his partners again in a very short time and bowed his head to Mao Qiping to answer: “Treasure Beach, let’s open the treasure chest!”

I used to guess from the “Treasure Beach” literally, it is possible to get a baby. Now that the 100% prize is determined, the rest is just a matter of specific prizes. So Captain Xu ’s voice revealed “money” unabashedly. Ah money, here we are! ”The excitement, and the determination to“ make up all the money for the Raiders! ”

“East or West?” Mao Qiping asked again.

“Which one has fewer people?”

“West, because many teams feel that Ziqi is coming to the east, more auspicious than west.”

“Then we will go west!”

“…” Mao Qiping scratched his chin, thinking left and right, finally reminisced. I, as if, was tricked into a free message!

What this business did was really blood and tears.

“West Treasure Beach” route guide: ① After selecting the route, the ship will automatically travel, but the direction is at the helm of the person on board; ② First go north, after seeing the first monster, then go straight to the lighthouse, that is, The best route should be a broken line, not a straight line, otherwise it will greatly increase the probability of encountering a monster; ③ try to avoid being too close to other ships to prevent being attacked, after all, there are only three places.

“West Treasure Beach” lighthouse strategy: ① There will be a tower guard in the lighthouse. You must defeat him before you can reach the treasure house at the highest level of the lighthouse; ② The tower guard ’s weapons and position change every day, so I do n’t know today The posture of the tower guards will be defended, but there are a variety of different distances and lethalities known as armed guards standing at the door, sneak assassinations hidden inside the tower, black gunpowder throwing at the commanding height, indiscriminate machine gun fire The form of ③; There is no absolutely necessary connection between the breakthrough tower guard and the treasure chest. Other competing teams can take advantage of the profit, so before reaching the treasure house, do n’t take it lightly.

Regarding the route and attacking the tower, Mao Qiping said a lot in detail, but in summary, these are the above.

The fog began to spread around, and the eyes were still vast, but the visibility in the vicinity was better.

“The role of the Raiders is just not to fight the unprepared battle. In the end, whether you can attack the tower and grab the one-third of the quota, you have to rely on yourself.” Too much said in one breath, Mao Qiping’s voice was already smoking After finishing this sentence, he unscrewed the thermos that he carried with him and drank it.

Xu Wang also wanted to let the other person rest and rest, no matter what time he waited for, he quickly said: “That, the precautions and experience of daily customs clearance …”

“I know,” Mao Qiping didn’t mind. He quickly put down the thermos and looked up. “The things to pay attention to are too old-fashioned. The first thing is to go together. At any time, don’t take the team you meet lightly, no matter how kind-hearted they are. , You are harmless and people are harmful to your heart; the second is not to take it for granted, even if you pass this level twenty times, the twenty-first time may be new; the third is not to abuse stationery and save one, You can save your life at a critical time … “

“As for experience, hey, it’s actually not much experience, that is, I’ve seen too many people in this endless sea, let’s count a little personal experience,” Mao Qiping smiled and weakened the shrewdness of the businessman, but it was so Be sincere among friends, “No matter which level you have reached, if you are not ready, you would rather stay a little longer in the previous level or the endless sea, rather than rush forward. This will be an extremely long On the journey, if you want to go to the end, you must fight steadily and step by step. “

“Understood,” Xu Wang bowed his head and looked at him seriously. “As long as he meets other teams, the competition loses and he returns to the origin. Rather than prepare for a few more days, don’t be impulsive or lose the gain.”

“Origin?” Mao Qiping somehow, “Who sells you such fake news.”

“No?” Not only Xu Wang, the three partners of Wu Qianqian were also surprised. Although they didn’t spend any money, in the case of the cabin at that time, Gao Shuai’s skinny white did not need to be punished in such an experience. Lie to them?

“It’s not the origin,” Mao Qiping directly sent the letter to the quasi-letter. “It’s just going back three levels. For example, if you fail to hand in the paper on 7/23, the next time you will come back from 4/23.”

Wu Sheng asked: “If you don’t go back, then stay at the original coordinates of 7/23?”

“It’s still inhaled at zero at night, but there will be no 7/23 level,” Mao Qiping looked at him, “but the endless sea of ​​that province.”

Wu Sheng: “The division of the endless sea is based on the province. What is the level, how many ranges can be entered in the center of the circle?”

Mao Qiping: “The level is based on the city. As long as you enter the city where the current level coordinates are located, there is no longer an endless sea.”

Wu Sheng: “Is the opening of the level the only one?”

Mao Qiping: “No, Weisan, the last successful level and the new level that can be broken through now, both are open, and then the first level is always open, and the remaining levels are the endless sea of ​​the province where you arrive, even if you reach the coordinate point. . “

Wu Sheng: “Then if I happen to be at the border of two provinces …”

“Wait a minute,” Mao Qiping raised his hand and motioned to Wu Sheng to stop talking. He bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and finally realized that he had almost revealed the basic rules.

The problem is that these people didn’t buy rules other than injury or death!

Although the smiling captain bargained hard, anyway, it ’s your love. I ’m willing to drop the hammer. The handsome little brother directly glove the white wolf! What’s more terrible is that at the moment of being asked, I was completely taken into the rhythm of the other party. I did not consider the matter of money or money at all. All my energy was focused on understanding the “extremely academic problem description” of the other party. Proud to see through.

This person, no, this team is poisonous TAT

“Hurry to choose the route,” Mao Qiping now wants to watch the customers leave. “Otherwise, the quota will be full for a while.”

Wu Sheng could hardly sigh, and it was rare to encounter such a smooth exchange, and suddenly ended the topic, he was still a little reluctant.

“Xiao Mao …” Xu Wang suddenly leaned out of his body, pulling down to the maximum, and narrowing the distance between each other.

Mao Qiping swallowed unconsciously and watched him with caution: “Ah?”

Xu Wang smiled brightly: “After eating in the restaurant, I also gave a fruit plate …”

Mao Qiping narrowed his eyes and considered whether to use a telescopic rod to pick these guys into the sea one by one.

“It’s OK to give an orange, we don’t pick it!”

“…”

After floating in the sea for a year, Mao Qiping has seen all kinds of teams, Buddhist, irritable, sloppy, elite, broken and broken, never moving forward, but I have never seen this before.

Well, you want to let them sink the ship in minutes. If you are not good, you can’t be angry with them, and even unconsciously a little envious, thinking “I’ll be fine if I can.”

Mao Qiping wanted to find a particularly tall word to describe this group of guys, but there were only three words to find it.

Normal mind.

In this ghost place, despair and excitement are easy. The hardest thing is to still be yourself and still be normal.

“It’s all a loss, it’s not an orange,” Mao Qiping sighed heavily to show that he was “not easy to buy and sell”, but when he said it, the words were all dry goods. High-speed rail, you can take the high-speed train, don’t take the plane, as soon as you save money, you will have a long time, and secondly, the cycle between the two levels has been lengthened objectively. Originally, you passed the old customs yesterday. However, if you take a sleeper, you may have one more night’s rest time, sleep on the train, and sleep on the endless sea, to ensure that you will be refreshed by the next level, and you will save one night’s hotel accommodation. “

Xu Wangwaner: “So the key is to save money.”

Mao Qiping was also happy, half joking and half teasing: “If you don’t lose money, just when I didn’t say it, but you can’t tell me, otherwise I will take your 800 yuan with hatred and throw it into the sea.”

“We are poor, we are very poor!” Xu Wang quickly assured.

Mao Qiping nodded with satisfaction: “Well, comfortable.”

There are always two departures for silver and silver goods.

The four chose the “West Treasure Beach” on their arms, and soon, no one turned the rudder freely.

The three partners watched Wu Sheng together.

Wu Junshi made no mistake. While comforting himself with “the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility”, he ran to the cockpit, held the rudder, and accurately adjusted the bow to the true north.

The sailboat and the floating ball slowly pull away.

Xu Wang, Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin were on the side of the railing, bowing their heads and waving goodbye to Mao Qiping.

Although it was a business, this person was the one they met in the “owl”. The first real friendly person was about to be separated at this moment, and a slight sourness appeared in my heart.

Qian Ai is not very comfortable with such a delicate atmosphere. He simply waved his hands and said goodbye: “You did this business, I feel that we have entered a different place, we are the island of thorns, you are the Chinese dream.”

“It’s all forced out,” Mao Qiping waved his hand, and he didn’t have a good breath. “Otherwise, what to do, I can’t get through, I can’t go.”

Qian Ai said: “Isn’t it good for you to make money, just become a second career.”

Mao Qiping lowered his hand and looked at him quietly.

The boat and the floating ball had already been separated by a meter, and the salty sea breeze still sent every word of Mao Qiping to the ears of three people.

“My daughter-in-law got up every night and didn’t know where her husband was. My child got up every night and couldn’t find his father.”

In his eyes, it was real, suppressed depression.

Qian Ai’s smile faded and became silent. Gag teasing the poor, he can, but facing Mao Qiping like this, he didn’t know what to say.

Xu Wang suppressed the taste in his heart and tried to persuade: “When you go out at five, they will forget what happened at night.”

“But the torment in those five hours was real,” Mao Qiping shook his head with a chuckle. “My son howls once every night, and he cried a few times.”

His voice was very light, but the lighter it was, the more it sounded.

Children cry and smoke, can be large or small, and even have serious sequelae.

The distance between the boat and the floating ball is getting farther and farther, and Mao Qiping’s voice is becoming more and more blurred.

“They forgot, but I remember it, night after night, never ending …”

This is what they heard, Mao Qiping’s last sentence.

After that, the floating ball, the man, and the seemingly groaned sigh disappeared in the vast sea fog.
