Chapter 58 Wugu Village 1

There was a knock on the door of the lounge, and several members of the assault team came in one after another. Yang Mei put down the cup and returned to normal.

Upon learning that Xia Bai was coming to the Tourism Administration headquarters, all the free members of the assault team in Fengning City came to meet the new members of their team. Xia Bai got to know 9 more powerful players.

The entire 19th floor belongs to the assault team. There are office areas, rest areas, and a large restaurant where they have their meals.

Song Lu also sent Erwa over. When Erwa came, there were two little white flowers on his ears.

At first everyone thought he was just pinning two flowers on his ears and started teasing him.

Only Ling Changye, who was closest to Erwa, noticed something. He reached out and pinched a small white flower on Erwa's ear and gently pulled it outwards. Erwa's ear was also pulled outwards with his movements, revealing the calyx stuck to the ear.

There are few fools here, and the smile turned into surprise.

Erwa covered his ears, moved away from Ling Changye, and moved closer to Xia Bai.

Only then did he realize that he also had small flowers growing on his ears. He picked them and put them in his pocket. He was embarrassed to give the flowers to Xia Bai in front of so many people.

Hua Haoming asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

Facing the curious gazes, Xia Bai said directly: "The second baby has blossomed."

“…”

Yang Mei leaned over and asked, "Did Erwa meet someone he likes?"

“…”

"[Tree Planter], it's a tree. Erwa's tree has blossomed?" A player named Yin Songquan looked increasingly shocked. "Erwa used his skills outside the game?"

Xia Bai nodded.

Everyone was even more surprised.

Everyone present here has played a dungeon with Erwa, and they all know how difficult it is to get Erwa to use his skills. He will only unleash his skills when he is truly on the verge of death, causing a landslide and an earth-shattering earthquake. Moreover, after he uses a skill once, it will be difficult for him to use it a second time for a long time.

Outside the game, Erwa, who is always accompanied by his teammates, cannot face the threat of death. It can be said that he is very safe and comfortable. Why would he use his skills? This is a form of performance that they have never seen before.

When Hua Haoming handed Erwa to Xia Bai, seeing that Erwa liked Xia Bai so much, he asked Xia Bai to try to guide Erwa to use skills, but he didn't expect that he really did it. He was curious: "How did you do it? Did you use a dead body?"

"..." Xia Bai said: "I took Erwa back to Qili Village to play for a day, and he opened his eyes for me."

That day, Xia Bai told Erwa that Sister Xue Mu liked pea flowers. Erwa asked him what he liked, and he said casually but did not lie, and said he also liked flowers.

When he woke up in the wheat field of Qili Village and saw Erwa holding a small flower for him, he was surprised and a little touched.

Erwa knew that they liked flowers, so he worked hard to bloom flowers for them while he was sleeping.

When they heard that Xia Bai was taking Erwa to Qili Village, they suddenly realized.

When Erwa was sent back to Qili Village, the investigator was kicked out of the house by Erwa's family. Erwa suffered secondary trauma, and they never took Erwa back again.

——No. Hua Haoming said: "I also took Erwa back to Qili Village Primary School, why didn't he give me flowers?"

“…”

Xia Bai said: "Maybe the Qili Village Primary School hadn't been rebuilt at that time, and Erwa didn't have enough energy?"

Ling Changye added an important reason, "Because Erwa likes Xia Bai very much."

Hua Haoming felt a little heartbroken.

Many people +1.

Ling Changye: "Because of Erwa's special experiences, deep down in his heart, he associates the use of skills with death, danger, and fear. He is very resistant to using skills and will only use them when he is in the most dangerous time. Afterwards, this cognition will be deepened, and he will be even more resistant to using skills, falling into a vicious circle."

It's not that they haven't thought about it, and they have tried to guide him in a gentle way, but Erwa's skills are always like a snail in its shell. He is wary of them and is unwilling to come out.

As soon as Xia Bai appeared, he saved Erwa from danger. In Erwa's heart, he was different. He never guarded against Xia Bai from the beginning, but wanted to get close to him.

Coincidentally, he said he liked flowers, and Erwa could bloom. Erwa was in warmth and security, and he bloomed flowers for Xia Bai because he liked it.

Ling Changye: "Erwa will realize that skills are not equal to danger, fear, but also equal to love. He will gradually be willing to use skills."

"Wow! That's great!" Yang Mei came over, "Er Wa, please give me a flower too."

Erwa was unmoved.

Yang Mei really wanted to see this little snail bloom, "Then why don't you bloom one for brother Xia Bai?"

Erwa looked at Xia Bai and saw that Xia Bai was also looking at him with sparkling happiness in his eyes. His ears turned red, and before he started rubbing his hands, a small flower bloomed on his ear.

"Wow!"

Several grown men also expressed their girlish feelings.

They are all the people who have taken care of Erwa, and can be said to be the ones who have watched Erwa grow up. Seeing Erwa, who was timid and always alert to the people around him like a frightened bird, blossoming with peace and happiness, the hearts of the old fathers and mothers were touched.

Everyone was happy for Erwa and praised Xia Bai. This dinner was a very enjoyable one.

After the dinner, Xia Bai took Erwa to walk around the Tourism Administration headquarters, and only then did he realize how big the Tourism Administration was. There were many people working on each floor of this 50-story building.

In addition to this high-rise building, there are several small Western-style buildings around it that also belong to the Tourism Administration, including the Institute of Education, the Research Institute, and a hospital.

After the tour, Xia Bai and Yang Mei went to the community opposite the industrial park, where many people from the Tourism Administration Bureau lived, and Xia Bai also had an apartment there.

Yang Mei and Hua Haoming want to give Xia Baiwen a room and have hotpot here for dinner.

"How about calling the captain as well?" Yang Mei said.

Hua Haoming: "Forget it, he doesn't eat hot pot."

Xia Bai: "Why not eat hot pot?"

Hua Haoming: "Because it tastes good."

Yang Mei and Hua Haoming started to complain about Ling Changye, saying that he had to change clothes in the dungeon and change bed sheets in the deserted village.

Xia Bai could also join in on this topic, and even Erwa could say a few words, so it went on for a long time, and it evolved into how hateful and annoying Ling Chang's skill was.

Only then did Xia Bai realize that Ling Changye had joined the Tourism Administration not long ago, later than more than half of the members of the assault team. At that time, many people were dissatisfied with him being the captain, but he had convinced them. His method was very simple, which was to copy their skills and fight against them.

It was indeed a toothache. Xia Bai felt a toothache when he thought about "hitting himself". He finally understood why Hua Haoming had such a toothache when he first mentioned the captain in the Peace Medical College copy.

When Ling Changye sent a video call, Xia Bai was still listening to the two people complaining about him.

He suppressed the heated atmosphere with just one sentence, "Yang Yi told the director about you."

After hearing this, Hua Haoming asked, "What's the matter?"

Xia Bai briefly explained it to him.

Xia Bai asked: "Is Yang Yi's instrument accurate?"

Hua Haoming: "You have seen the game detector in Quanguang City, right? It can capture the special energy fluctuations of the game and determine the location of the game map as soon as the game arrives. Only then can you volunteers follow the rescue team to the game scene and wait for rescue immediately."

"I have." On the first night Xia Bai arrived in Quanguang City, he saw a large screen with the game location marked in the office cafeteria.

"Similarly, by capturing the special energy fluctuations of the game, we can determine the location of players who have not completed the game. We can even use the strength of the fluctuations to basically infer the difficulty of the game. Generally, the more times the game is opened, the more players die, and the greater the energy fluctuations." Hua Haoming said: "This shows that the detector is already very mature and can calculate the energy fluctuations of the game very accurately."

"It's just that it's not that easy to capture the game energy in a person. This technology has not been fully certified, but it can explain some problems." Hua Haoming asked: "So, why is the energy in your body excessive?"

He returned to the feeling he had when he first met Xia Bai, always thinking that there was something wrong with him. Of course, now he didn't have the suspicion and guard that he had back then.

Xia Bai: "Because I still have Gu Quankun and Liu Qiang here? And Zhong Zicang's props, the instrument captured the energy of at least the three of us?"

“…”

That makes sense.

Ling Changye: "If the director asks you to come over, just tell him this."

Xia Bai nodded, "Okay."

Xia Bai asked: "What kind of person is the director?"

Ling Changye: "He is a stern old man named Wang."

Xia Bai felt a little relieved. Compared with people of other age groups, he had the most experience in getting along with the elderly.

Originally, Xia Bai was going to fly back tonight. This was not a secret. If the director wanted to see him, he should have told him in advance.

Unexpectedly, the director didn't call him over an hour and a half before boarding.

In that case, Xia Bai plans to go to the airport first.

But unexpectedly, the director did not call him to go, and Yang Yi blocked him at the door with a stern face.

Before Xia Bai could react, Yang Yi walked into his house and slammed the door behind him.

Before they could ask him anything, he made a video call to someone and projected the video onto the white wall of the room.

"Yang Yi, what's wrong with you?" An old voice came from behind.

Xia Bai turned around and was stunned when he saw the person on the wall. Isn't this Lao Wang from the [Never Contact Each Other Again] group?

For a while, some older people in the group liked to post photos of their happy families in the group, as if they were secretly showing off something. Xia Bai was taken to a photo studio by his grandfather to take photos, which were then posted in the group.

Xia Bai got to know several people in the group, and the old man on the screen in front of him should be Lao Wang in the group.

When Ling Changye and his companions saw the people on the video, they shouted, "Director Wang."

Xia Bai: “……?”

Director Wang? Director Wang of the Tourism Administration?

[Never associate with each other again until death] Aren’t those in this group a group of pitiful and sickly old people who have been abandoned by the times?

His grandfather, who does nothing all day, is a mysterious player who possesses awesome props.

It’s even more mysterious that Lao Wang, who pretends to be so sophisticated in the group every day, is actually the director of the Tourism Administration?

What other surprises is there that he doesn't know about?

Xia Bai remembered that it was Lao Wang who said in the group that there was a problem with their world, and sent him a link to open the game door.

He also remembered that on the day of reporting for school, Lao Wang said in the group that if there was anything, he must be called.

At that time, Xia Bai thought he was being polite, and based on the principle of respecting the elderly and loving the young, he decided not to disturb him no matter what happened.

turn out to be……?

Ling Changye was always polite. He had just finished talking about that serious old man behind his back, and when they met, he politely introduced Xia Bai, "Xia Bai, this is the director of our Tourism Management Bureau."

Xia Bai: "...Hello, Director."

Director Wang just said "hmm" and looked away, as if he was just a stranger he met for the first time.

Xia Bai also felt that it was a bit mysterious that Lao Wang was the director of the Tourism Administration. Maybe they just looked alike, or maybe the photo Lao Wang sent to the group had been photoshopped. He found Lao Wang's phone number on his phone and called him.

"Ding-ling-ling, there's a phone call!"

Director Wang: “…”

Xia Bai: “…”

They both hung up the phone at the same time.

Xia Bai stood there with a blank face. Lao Wang moved his eyes to Yang Yi and asked seriously, "Yang Yi, what are you going to do?"

Yang Yi said, "I have already reported Xia Bai's situation to you. You said you would consider it. If you continue to consider it, he will leave Fengning City. I don't understand. I didn't do anything to him. I just want a drop of blood. Do you need to consider it for so long? Is my request excessive?"

In fact, it is not excessive. Especially since the person who made this request is Yang Yi, a genius of the institute.

The ultimate goal of the Game Management Bureau is to destroy games, make them disappear from their world, and at the same time ensure social stability.

Their attack team is more focused on making the games that have already appeared in the world disappear, which is quite passive.

The research on games is a more fundamental job for the institute. This is why Yang Yi became the vice president of the institute even though he had many extreme behaviors. He might find a way to destroy games from the root.

He is so sure that there is something wrong with Xia Bai and wants a drop of Xia Bai's blood. The director should agree.

Even Ling Changye thought so. He originally wanted to go to the director to discuss the matter, but he didn't expect Yang Yi to talk about the matter directly in front of them.

Yang Mei stared at Yang Yi with even more resentment, and also thought that the director would agree.

"No," the chief said, unexpectedly.

"Nowadays, players can have any kind of skills. Even a drop of blood can be fatal. Before your equipment passes the review and certification, to ensure Xia Bai's safety, you cannot force him to take his blood."

"Director!" Yang Yi frowned and said, "I have a big..."

The director interrupted him, "I saw the suitcase. Is Xia Bai going to catch a plane? Ling Changye, take him to the airport quickly."

"Okay." Ling Changye held onto Xia Bai's suitcase handle and said to him, "It's almost too late. Let's go."

Xia Bai looked at the director again, turned a blank face and said nothing, then left with Ling Changye.

On the way to the airport, he opened the [Never Contact Each Other Again] group and stared at the group of old people who were quarreling childishly with a gloomy look.

He clicked on Lao Wang's avatar and came to their chat page.

In the end, he didn't ask anything and turned off his phone.

Ling Changye sent him to the boarding gate and pressed down Erwa's head that popped out of his pocket, "Have a nice trip."

Xia Bai was still looking at him. "Nothing else to tell me?"

"That's all." Ling Changye said, "Go back and study hard. Song Shi will notify you if there is a mission."

Someone came to urge him to board the plane. Xia Bai said, "Captain, when I said I wanted to partner with you that day, you didn't answer me immediately. I thought about my sales pitch. Although you answered me, there is one thing I still want to say."

Ling Changye tilted his head, looked at him and smiled, "You say."

Xia Bai looked up at him, the bright lights of the terminal reflected in his eyes, "I heard that the captain is looking for his father, and I am looking for the God of Joy. We can go together. When the captain wants to look for his father in the future, he doesn't have to go to the game alone. I will go with you."

Ling Changye smiled and nodded, "I usually look for my father outside the game. If I need anything, I will find you."

Xia Bai: “…”

The game had only been in their world for three years, and the captain's father's funeral had been held seven years ago.

So why did he think Ling Changye would go into the game to look for his father?

Xia Bai registered with a blank face, and returned to the house opposite his school in Jiangqi City with a blank face.

Nothing happened for the next three days. Xia Bai attended classes at school and took care of the baby at home. On Thursday, Song Shi sent him his gaming tasks for the week.

Because Xia Bai still had to go to school, he set the next date as every Saturday.

Members of the assault team will play the next game every week.

If you are drawn into the game by accident and come out of the game, it is considered that you have completed the game mission and you do not need to accept any more missions this week.

If they are not accidentally involved in a new game, the Game Management Bureau will arrange for them to play designated games on fixed dates.

This type of game has already arrived, and the first, second, or third wave of players have all died in it, so the difficulty may be relatively higher.

Now that the location has been designated and known, the Game Management Bureau will notify the members of the assault team two or three days in advance and post the bounty mission in the Player Communication Center.

When tackling an uncompleted game, not all members of the tackling team will be sent. After all, there are only a few dozen people in the tackling team, and there are so many games to be tackled across the country. Usually, there are only two or three people in the tackling team, or a group of partners. But the game cannot be started by two people, so the Game Management Bureau will issue a bounty task and summon other players to play the game together.

Xia Bai knew in advance the game map he was going to, Wugu Village.

Xia Bai: [Who should I go with?]

Song Shi: [You and Captain Ling go together. I hope you can bring Erwa with you.]

Xia Bai: [Can I know about other players in advance?]

Song Shi: [The bounty mission has not been released yet, so it cannot be confirmed for the time being. I will give it to you once I get the list one day before entering the game.]

Xia Bai: [Okay. Can I recommend a player?]

Song Shi: [If the other party does not want a reward, you can bring it in at will. The rule for issuing a reward task is to select the first come first served. If you want to take the task reward, I can't do it. But you can send the information to the other party first, tell him the exact time of the task release, and if he reads the information and wants to participate, let him sign up as soon as possible.]

Xia Bai immediately forwarded the information Song Shi sent him to Lin Xiang, [Take a look, do you want to go?]

Lin Xiang replied to him ten minutes later, [Go!]

Xia Bai asked Song Shi about the time when the task would be released. It would be a waste not to take the reward, so he asked Lin Xiang to sign up as soon as the task was released.

Bounties are posted on Thursdays at 6pm.

When Song Shi notified Xia Bai, Xia Bai was in class. He only said a few words to Song Shi and Lin Xiang. He didn't read the information much and simply looked at it directly in the bounty task.

When the Game Management Bureau issues a bounty mission, it will inform the players of all the detailed information it has obtained so that they can decide whether to accept the mission. However, most of the time there is not much information, and the players who are involved in the game die in the game, and no one can tell them what is going on inside.

If the corpse is thrown out by the game, some game information can be found from the corpse, but the game Wugu Village doesn't even spit out the player's corpse, so there is even less data information.

The name of the reward posted by the Tourism Administration is simple and clear: "The Tourism Administration's reward mission for "

Mission time: 2:00 p.m. on November 26.

Mission location: Wugu Village, Datai City, Zhounan Province.

Members of the assault team: Ling Changye, Erwa, and Xia Bai.

Number of players rewarded: 8.

Mission information: The Wugu Village map landed in Wugu Village at around 2:00 pm on October 2. The first batch of people involved in the game was about 10, all of whom were novice players. After the game landed, the Tourism Administration immediately blocked the village where the game was located, but because the specific location of the game in the village was not found out in time, the second batch of players were involved. There were 11 players in the second batch, including two veteran players, all of whom died.

Game evaluation: Small game, difficulty 5/10.

Mission rewards: space prop x1, 2,000,000 points x8, 1,000,000 cash or gold of equal value x8.

Registration link: Tourism Administration Bounty Task Center.

1L: Here we come! It’s time to catch up with the action.

2L: Is there any expert who can come out and analyze whether this task is easy to take?

3L: Ling Changye and Erwa, are they a combination of intelligence and force? I don't know how powerful Ling Changye is. Erwa's skills are very powerful when they burst out, but he is unwilling to use them, so don't expect him to save you when you are in danger. And this Xia Bai, wait, who is Xia Bai? In short, the game difficulty is five stars, and the players of the assault team can reduce about one star (ignoring Xia Bai). You can choose the four-star difficulty according to the situation.

4L: Only two waves of players died in it, and there were only two veteran players in total. Does that mean the game difficulty has reached five stars?

5L: If you know Wugu Village, you will not think it is not worth five stars.

6L: What happened to Wugu Village?

7L: I searched online and found that Datai City is known as the miasma village because of its geographical location. The local residents are of complex composition and there are many folk legends. Wugu Village is a remote mountain village in Datai City. There is still no road access. It is feudal and closed. It sounds really not that simple.

8L: Then healing players must sign up, so that space props can be easily obtained?

9L: Buy some anti-virus medicine in the game store before you go. Players who have relevant items can also take it.

…

When Xia Bai saw his name appear, he had a bad feeling, but he still took a look at everyone's analysis. He thought that there were many experts among the people and he might be able to find some useful information.

After taking a quick look, he exited the post, and sure enough, he saw that his post that had been pushed down was pushed up again.

"Am I the only one who noticed that silly boy?"

143L: OP! You may have really found a treasure. The person you are talking about is Xia Bai, a new member of the assault team!

Only then did Xia Bai realize that someone had already found out his name and even his major at Heping Medical College.

horrible.

144L: Xia Bai is so young, but he has already completed three games? He looks pretty good.

145L: Xia Bai is the youngest member of the assault team besides Erwa. I wonder what his skills are.

146L: You must not forget that it was only two months since he was first drawn into the game, and he joined the assault team in just two months, so his skills must be very impressive.

147L: Wow! Looking forward to it!

148L: I was still hesitating whether to accept the bounty mission in Wugu Village, but now I really want to accept it. I want to see what Xia Bai’s game skills are.

Xia Bai: “…”

He spoke for the first time in the Player Exchange Center.

150L:148 Please be cautious, the game is very dangerous, curiosity kills the cat.

After he finished speaking, he saw the message Lin Xiang sent him.

Lin Xiang: [As soon as the mission was released, I directly clicked on the link to sign up, it should be no problem. The healing player they were talking about is me, hahahaha, I will protect you this time.]

As expected, Lin Xiang was successfully registered.

On Friday night, Xia Bai was pulled into a group called [Wugu Village] by Song Shi, where he saw Ling Changye, Erwa and Lin Xiang, who were already his friends.

Song Shi pulled him into the group and then left. There were three other staff members from the Tourism Administration in the group, one from the logistics department, one from the information department, and another one from the assault team. Including these three people, there were a total of 14 people in the group.

The 11 players who wanted to play the Wugu Village map gathered in the group first.
