The Midnight Owl

“Ding–“

The second beep sound interrupted the discussion over there and interrupted the gaze on the other side.

The five partners looked at their arms together, and this time they gave 7/23 coordinates.

“Chongqing.” After thinking for a few seconds, Wu Sheng aligned the location.

“Hot pot skewers and hot and sour noodles …” Qian Ai, who had smelled the rich aroma, was fascinated by the endless imagination center.

“There is also a light rail in the sky!” Kuang Jinxin watched the video, and the light rail train passed through the mountain from the sky, which was magical and cool!

“Chongqing …” Captain Xu, who was thinking about returning to Beijing, was in a delicate mood.

Chi Yingxue looked at Wu Sheng, who instantly judged the location, and the other three people who immediately believed in his judgment. His mood was more subtle … Did he miss the link to check the location with stationery?

With the passage of time, most of the people who want to go through the customs have gathered all the people and left the banquet hall. The rest are either that they do not need to go through the customs, or they can’t get together or find the team.

Kang Jinxin went to the dining table and took a few pieces of delicious cakes. He came back to share with the little friends, to Chi Yingxue, and hit the wall again.

“I hate sweet.” Chi Yingxue’s refusal was simple and straightforward.

“Oh.” Everyone has love, Kang Jinxin respects, and then gave the original piece to Chi Yingxue, and gave the eyed Qian Ai.

Classmate Qian eats two pieces, four pieces and two pieces. After eating, he wipes out his mouth. Education status Jin Xin: “The next time you remember, no matter what the best thing is, you have to give it to people who will appreciate it.”

Kuang Jinxin made a careful note: “If there is any delicious food in the future, we will give you two servings.”

Qian Ai touched his head with relief.

Chi Yingxue was too lazy to watch the friendship between the two teams, lowered his eyes, and removed the gauze on his arm. As a result, the action was too rude, and the gauze became a knot. A few red marks were rubbed out of his recovered arm.

In the low pressure, a small pastry with a light color was handed to the front.

Chi Yingxue frowned and looked up.

Kuang Jinxin looked serious: “I tasted it, this one is not sweet.”

Chi Yingxue: “…”

The devil’s hand stretched out next door.

Obnoxious.

“Snapped–“

Qian Ai could not steal the pastry, and the back of his hand was swollen, covering his beaten hand, with a sad look on his face: “Do you need to be so ruthless, are you fighting with your comrades or revenge against the sea of ​​blood !!!”

Chi Yingxue didn’t hear it, took the small cube and threw it into his mouth.

It’s really not sweet, a little buttery smell, and a little fragrance of fruit.

Licking the cake crumbs on his thumb, Chi Yingxue was still unsure, and suddenly wanted to talk to Kang Jinxin again, but unexpectedly raised his eyelids. In front of him, he had replaced the two faces of Captain Xu and Wu Junshi, with a big smile and two rows Bai Ya, a clear and wise man, implied the joy and expectation of “I think we can sit down and do a research”.

Kuang Jinxin has been moved to the long dining table by Qian Aila, and is happily wandering in the ocean of cup cake donut fruit salad sandwich.

Without looking back, the gaze withdrew from the long dining table. Chi Yingxue raised an eyebrow at the two enquiries: “?”

Xu Wang’s gentle opening: “Xiao Xue …”

Chi Yingxue smiled: “Say, things, love.”

Found that selling cute is not suitable for new teammates, Captain Xu immediately put on the righteousness: “I want to talk to you badge again.”

Chi Yingxue understood it immediately, and asked Xu Wang to ask directly, “I now have five badges. In addition to the ancient castle badge, there are also badges of 1, 3, 4, and 8 levels, except for 8 / 23. The rest of you want to collect, I can lead the way. “

Xu Wang was surprised by his confession.

Wu Sheng is more concerned about the information implied in the answer: “Every level of the hidden location of the badge will never change?”

Chi Yingxue hadn’t really thought about this question. After being asked this way, his eyes gradually drifted to unknown places and fell into memory.

a long time.

“I’m not sure,” Chi Yingxue shook his head, giving him the most authentic information he could give. “I have only found the badges of 3, 4, 6, 8 once. Only the badge of level 1 is found. After three times, they all followed different teams. The first time and the third time the badge positions were the same, and the second time they changed places. “

Xu Wang: “You said that the badge is related to the level after 13/23 …”

“A team that I’ve followed to find badges inadvertently talked about leaking,” Chi Yingxue sighed half-jokingly and half-seriously, somewhat regretfully, “I knew I could use it today, so I should listen carefully.”

Xu Wang casually ridiculed: “Whether it is someone who talks about leaks, or you deliberately eavesdrop.”

Chi Yingxue was happy, as if remembering something interesting: “I think the former, but the other firmly believes that the latter.”

“…” A team that strictly guards against newcomers, a newcomer who doesn’t want to integrate into the new team at all. Xu Wang really doesn’t know how to comment on this kind of tragedy.

At this point, the information is clear, and the new teammates can only provide “related to 13/23 and later” and “location information of the four badges”, the latter is not necessarily still valid.

Wu Sheng fell into deep thought.

After a moment of pondering, Xu Wang flexibly changed Plan B and looked at the entire banquet hall. Sure enough, he caught a familiar face among the crowd.

From the beginning of the conversation, Chi Yingxue waited for Xu Wang to ask a certain question. As a result, until now, he saw that the other party was about to get up. He couldn’t hold back and offered to say: “8/23, don’t you ask?”

Xu Wang looked at him again.

[Except for 8/23, I can lead the rest of you want to collect. 】

This is the original words of the new teammates.

The meaning is already obvious. Xu Wang thought that this kind of unspoken thing, you know what I also understand, and now, it really needs to communicate diligently.

“When looking for that badge, it’s not you.” Xu Wang simply stated the facts, and he didn’t have too many emotional tendencies.

Chi Yingxue was not the first time to confess his two-person personality with the new team. It was indeed the first time he met such a calm captain.

Suddenly came to curiosity: “If I disappeared one day and changed him out, would you kick someone?”

Xu Wang really thought about this question: “If you asked me yesterday, I might hesitate, after all, the playground’s memory is not so good.”

Chi Yingxue converged with a smile and asked lightly: “Now change your mind?”

“Last night’s badge was obtained by the two of you,” Xu Wang’s voice was slow and sincere, and he was determined to look at his eyes as if to look through the bottom of his eyes to meet another soul, “From the moment he shot , Is already a member of this team. “

Chi Yingxue narrowed her eyes, observed a long while, and realized: “He hasn’t woken up yet, he can’t hear you talking.”

“You didn’t say it early.” Xu Wang gave him a white look of resentment. The affectionate captain just now seemed to be an illusion.

Chi Yingxue: “…”

This is not the first time he has confessed a double personality with the team he joined, but this is the first time he has met such a proactive captain. In front of him, he has begun to draw another one from the air …

“You talk first, I’ll go back when I go.” Seeing the locked person chatting with another handicapped team, there is a strong tendency to join, Xu Wang can’t wait any longer. After saying such a sentence, he got up immediately, in case he wanted to ask Before the question is asked, the opponent will enter the level as the new team disappears.

Chi Yingxue looked at him in three steps and made two steps, walked to the mercenary called Wang Chuming, and thought about it, probably thinking of his purpose.

Withdrawing his gaze, Wu Sheng, who was still in front of him, couldn’t figure it out for a while, and he could “talk first” with this man.

Wu Sheng has clarified the clue of the badge, and finally can temporarily close this matter and start the second thread: “Are you better at melee combat, or long-range attacks?”

Chi Yingxue: “Huh?”

Wu Junshi continued to look after himself: “I don’t think you like to use stationery frequently, can you tell me more about your stationery tendency?”

Chi Yingxue: “Tendency?”

Wu Sheng: “Do you like armor or armor? Do you like the attack system or the control system?”

Chi Yingxue: “…”

Wu Sheng: “Don’t worry, I won’t formulate complex tactics for you. Fully understand your preferences to give you more room to play.”

Chi Yingxue: “…”

“What are your worries?” Wu Sheng didn’t understand the other party’s silence. “Last night’s task of finding the badge, you did a very good job.” He patted the other person’s shoulder and tried his best to convey the peace of mind with firm eyes. “Work harder and I will satisfy all your fantasies about fighting.”

Chi Yingxue: “…”

…

Beijing time 01:46:00

Xu Wang ended his secret conversation with Wang Chuming and came back to greet all his friends to a safe corner, sharing the information as soon as possible.

“Badge Manual?” Together with Chi Yingxue, everyone heard this for the first time.

Xu Wang nodded, looked back and forth, left and right, and then whispered after confirming that there was no ear in the partition wall: “Yes, there are tips for badge locations in levels 1-13 in this manual.”

“I’ll say it,” Qian Ai’s doubts finally solved. “Find a small badge in such a large level. Even if it can flash, you have to search for the right place. It’s so easy to find a standard. “

Wu Sheng asked: “How can I get this manual?”

Xu Wang said, “Buy.”

Kang Jinxin, Qian Ai: “Buy?”

Xu Wang said: “You can buy any store at any level in the owl.”

Qian Ai: “Spend RMB?”

Xu Wang: “Yes.”

Qian Ai: “How much?”

Xu Wang: “One hundred thousand.”

Qian Ai: “… Actually looking for a needle in a haystack, really.”

“Captain,” Kuang Jinxin thought of another question. “You asked such a confidential matter, Wang Chuming answered it?”

“I want to review with you, the situation is special, so I used public funds,” Xu Wang said, “intelligence fee, twenty thousand.”

Qian Ai: “Twenty thousand ?!”

Xu Wang: “He hasn’t opened for a while, pointing to these two messages for the New Year.”

Chi Yingxue: “Two?”

Xu Wang paused for a while and confirmed again that there was no eavesdropping around, before slowly revealing the second piece of information: “Thirteen badges are the key to the level after opening 13/23.”

Kuang Jinxin: “But no team has been behind 13/23 yet?”

Xu Wang shook his head: “It’s not that there is no one, but our current list only shows levels 1-13.”

Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin were confused.

Chi Yingxue vaguely understood, but not enough.

Wu Sheng, who had been quiet, said: “High school and university.”

“Yes,” Xu Wang knew that his military division could understand in seconds. “The first 13 levels and the last 10 levels are like two completely different schools. Of course, the transcripts are also independent of each other, and they have crossed the 13/23 team , Never returned. “

“That makes sense, why are there so many strange names on the submission speed list,” Wu Sheng finally solved this long-time puzzle, “The teams who have set a record may of course give up later, but it is more likely , Broke into a higher level. “

“If not returned,” Qian Aina wondered, “Where did Wang Chuming get the information?”

“Endless harvest,” Xu Wang sighed, “It is said that the purchase price is very high.”

Qian Ai: “It must be expensive, it has hacked us 20,000.”

Xu Wang: “He asked for 50,000 yuan.”

Qian Ai: “Captain, I knew I was right to believe you.”

Chi Yingxue: “…”

The ins and outs are clear, Wu Sheng looks at Xu Wang and directly seeks the key point: “Shop? Pay?”

“Of course I asked,” Xu Wang gave him a look of “I can rest assured”, “There are shops in this level, just below the banquet hall. The payment method is cash, but there is an automatic teller machine.”

Kuang Jinxin: “Can I withdraw money here?”

Xu Wang: “If Wang Chuming didn’t lie.”

Qian Ai: “He would dare to take so much money back to false intelligence, I chase him to the end of the world …”

After a while, the five people came to the staircase leading to the basement floor that Wang Chuming said. It was a very obscure door. After pushing it open, the staircase extended downward in the dim light.

Xu Wang and Wu Sheng started, Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin were in the middle, and Chi Yingxue was at the end.

When he was going down the stairs, he was still thinking about how Xu Wang extracted the full picture of the problem from Wu Sheng ’s simple words of “shop, payment”. This has happened more than once, except for carrying a passive trigger with him. “[Phantom] soul tacit understanding”, Chi Yingxue can’t think of any other explanation …

Three minutes later, a group of people went down to the end of the stairs to greet them. It was a very simple grocery store, just like the stalls everywhere in the vegetable market. There were a lot of things hanging around. At the stairway, they were welcomed with kind eyes all the way down.

This so-called “ground floor” actually slaps a large area, puts the grocery store, puts an automatic teller machine, and lets them stand one by five, basically there is no room for surplus.

“What do you want?” Granny asked kindly, “Sugar? Fruit? Bread?”

Xu Wang took a step forward and said clearly: “I want to buy a badge brochure.”

Granny still smiled kindly: “200,000, please pay in cash.”

Xu Wang and Qian Ai: “… Isn’t it one hundred thousand?”

Grandma is at a loss: “Huh?”

The little friends looked at their captain.

Captain Xu is under great pressure: “Wang Chuming really said that it was one hundred thousand, and it was bought at this level, but it was only half a year ago, and soaring prices are also possible …”

Qian Ai black line: “Is this increase a little bit mad …”

Wu Sheng sighed and asked the most practical question: “How much is still in the public account?”

Xu Wang sighed heavier than him: “It just cost 20,000, and there are 140,000 left.”

They have been busy in the endless sea for a month, and they have saved it in the public account. They thought that they could be moistened for a while, and it was good, and they were in debt overnight.

“Let’s work together again,” Qian Ai’s carefulness has been pricked. “Anyway, you have to buy it, buy it early and stop it early.” Then drag it down and continue to increase the price. All had angina to go home early.

Xu Wang: “This can only be done.”

Fortunately, the endless sea of ​​treasure chests was not fully confiscated, and some of them belonged to the unpacking partners.

At this moment, I had to make up my mind.

Xu Wang sent the bank card of the public account to the automatic deposit and withdrawal machine, ready to take out this part first.

The card was just sent out, and one hand fell from the sky, blocking the card slot.

Xu Wang followed his arm and found the beautiful face of Master Chi: “What’s wrong?”

In Chi Yingxue’s eyes, there was a slight doubt: “Public account?”

Xu Wang only talked about his feelings with his new teammates, thinking about waiting for the relationship to be completely stabilized, and then talk about money, otherwise the money paid today will be separated tomorrow, and it will involve a refund, how embarrassing.

But now the new teammate took the initiative to ask, and he also happened to follow the popular science: “Well, we AA built a public account within the team, responsible for all team expenses.”

Chi Yingxue thought about it and confirmed it again: “Now there are only 140,000 left in the account?”

“Yes.” Having talked here, Xu Wang naturally had nothing to hide.

Chi Ying took out his wallet from his pocket and took out a card and stuffed it into the automatic teller machine: “I took the information, I also shared the manual, there is no reason not to pay.”

For the first time Xu Wang saw such a negligible withdrawal of money, what else he wanted to say originally, people began to press the password.

The four little friends turned back instinctively so as not to see what they should n’t.

So in the next few minutes, the four of them listened to the machine behind to count the money and click to pay.

Finally, when he was quiet again, the friends turned around and Chi Yingxue held a handful of banknotes, which was called a spectacular.

“Are you … forty thousand?” Qian Ai blinked hard, always feeling a little vague about the volume of money.

“One hundred thousand.” Chi Yingxue said.

Xu Wangfu, the arithmetic level of the new teammates is too worrying: “Even if you add the previous 20,000, the public account is 160,000, and each person is 40,000. Why do you take 100,000?”

Chi Yingxue said: “Forty thousand tuition fees and sixty thousand transfer sponsorship fees.”

Kuang Jinxin: “Transfer?”

Qian Ai: “Sponsorship?”

Xu Wang looked at his new teammates in a mixed mood: “I just want to ask a question. How do you, such a glittering classmate, fall to no school?”

Chi Yingxue raised his lips lightly: “Maybe they still think that money is not important.”

Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, Qian Ai, Kuang Jinxin: “…”

Is this a fierce note at midnight! ! !

“Okay, since joining the team, if you have a mine at home, you must follow our rules,” Xu Wang said. “The badge book money, everyone AA.”

The captain made a final decision and no protest was allowed.

Under the supervision of his teammates, Chi Yingxue re-deposited the excess banknotes. While listening to the machine counting money, he suspected that he was the first customer of the machine’s “deposit function”.

Two hundred thousand cash was sent over, and the grandma carefully counted, and after finishing the last one, all the money suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, all five heard a “ding–“

In the , the hidden item grid interface where the badge is stored, there is a “booklet” icon in the lower right corner.

Click on, the badges of 1-13 levels hide the hint, at a glance-

1/23: Bear claws.

2/23: A land filled with love.

3/23: No. 9 in row 8.

4/23: Winding the moon.

5/23: Ghost in the wall.

6/23: Water lily.

7/23: …

Wu Sheng: “The tips on 4/23 and 6/23 are not consistent with the way and location where we found the badge.”

Xu Wang: “Wang Chuming said that these tips will be found with the corresponding badges and will change from time to time.”

Qian Ai: “Can I apply to skip the fifth level permanently …”

Kuang Jinxin: “Brother Qian, don’t you love watching horror movies? Domestically produced in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and India.”

Qian Ai: “Like watching, it doesn’t mean you like to go to the wall to find ghosts …”

“Have you received the manuals?” After Lin Lang’s groceries, there was a greeting from Granny.

Xu Wanghui gave the old man a painful but polite smile: “Well, I received it.”

40,000 per capita!

“Just received it,” Granny calmed down and reached out to touch the European-style cast iron rattle placed next to it. “Next is the gift.”

Five partners: “… gift?”

“Dingling ~~~”

The rattle sounded quaint, and the five friends only felt dark in front of them and light in body.

He opened his eyes again and stood in front of the familiar European manor.

“Ding–“

: Welcome to [Flight VIP Lounge].

“Ding–“

: Hello, my guest, Xiaofei Island! Let me show you the way below, you will be full of energy before the next midnight ~~

“Captain!” Kuang Jinxin looked at Xu Wang in surprise, “This is the lounge of the flying island!”

Qian Aiqing couldn’t help but take pictures of his captain’s shoulders: “Saving air tickets! Haha!”

Wu Sheng is also satisfied: “You can concentrate on designing tactics.”

Chi Yingxue doesn’t feel much about eating, living, and traveling, but he can easily wait for work, which is naturally better than a servant.

Among all the friends, only Captain Xu looked quietly at the sky.

He wants to go back to Beijing!

This “咻 ——” What kind of demon gift to Chongqing further away! ! !

…

Twenty-two hours later, Beijing time, 23:59:00

The rare long rest has filled the little friends with unprecedented spirit. Even Captain Xu, who was depressed, looked away after a lazy sleep. Anyway, he waited for ten years anyway, not less than a day and a half.

Regarding the level of 7/23, the information given by Chi Yingxue is simple and clear-board games.

No map, no new world, no mission line, that is, each team chooses a representative to play a board game in a room with only one round table.

As for the content of the board game, and whether there will be other chaotic story lines or tasks in the process, Chi Yingxue knows nothing about it-the only time to enter 7/23, just sent the team representative into the battle room, his body will be Substitution.

The author has something to say: Mr. Zhu Zhuolin, today received two bank text messages, both from the deputy card, one showing 100,000 expenses and one showing income of 56,000.

President Chi, who has never received “income information” from his brother, fell into deep contemplation …
