Chapter 155: Healing the Evil God 2

In response to Li Muyang, Xingjian smiled indifferently. Soon, the one-hour preparation time was over, and the booklet in the hands of others turned into ashes like the one in Xingjian's hand and dissipated in their hands.

004's mechanical voice sounded again in my ears.

"The game copy of Manta's Migration is loading..."

"The game instance has been successfully loaded, with 7 players loaded."

"Game Background: Linhai City is the largest manta ray ecological reserve in China, home to thousands of manta rays. You are seniors at Linhai Ocean University, and you are on an internship at the reserve, only to encounter a manta ray migration that is rarely seen in a century."

Mission 1: Find the secret of manta ray migration

Mission 2: Stop the Manta Ray Migration

"Complete one of the two tasks to clear the level."

Xing Jian watched the scene in front of him change again and again. The big tree and Li Muyang, who claimed to be a guide, disappeared from his sight. Even his clothes changed. There were tall buildings and cars coming and going. It was obvious that the place they were in now was the Linhai City mentioned in the background of the copy.

The scene before them completely loaded, and a final voice echoed in everyone's ears—"The game has officially begun. Good luck to all players."

After the voice ended, everyone walked towards Xingjian. After all, he was the first man to finish reading the entire novice tutorial, so he naturally attracted everyone's attention.

The middle-aged man who had just roared looked a little ridiculous in the sweatshirt that was inappropriate for his age, but no one present was in the mood to laugh in such a scene.

He was the first to speak and asked, "My name is Zhang Dapeng, young man. You must be quite impressive to have finished the beginner's tutorial in such a short time."

Everyone looked at Xingjian with some expectation in their eyes, but Xingjian's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's head.

"Sorry, there's nothing in my tutorial, so I finished it so quickly."

"How is that possible?"

Everyone immediately started chattering, and only a young man with dyed red hair interrupted, "Let me just say this, but it seems the novice manual mentioned that some newcomers will randomly receive a completely useless novice manual. This is called the newbie curse."

After being reminded by the young man, everyone seemed to remember the line of small words. Their faces changed instantly and they took a step away from Xingjian for fear that the so-called "newcomer curse" would be transmitted to them.

Before the group could say anything more, a man in security uniform walked out of a nearby building and shouted at them impatiently, "Are you interns from Ocean University? If you don't come in, you'll be late!"

In front of this NPC, no one dared to act rashly. They all followed the security guard silently into the building in front of them.

Xingjian deliberately slowed down his pace and walked at the back of the group, carefully looking at the building in front of him. The high-tech building seemed somewhat out of place with the ecological center mentioned in the mission.

The red-haired boy who had been speaking also slowed down his pace and walked to Xing Jian's side, extending his hand towards him. "Hello, my name is Qi Xiangwan, nice to meet you."

Xing Jian looked at the hand but didn't extend his own hand. "My name is Xing Jian. Aren't you afraid of the newcomer's curse?"

Seeing that Xing Jian had no intention of shaking hands with him, Qi Xiangwan smiled and extended his hand back, instead directly putting his arm around Xing Jian's shoulders. "Brother Xing, what are you talking about? This is not an infectious disease. Only a bunch of idiots would believe this. Brother, if you have anything to say, just ask me."

Then he suddenly whispered mysteriously into Xingjian's ear, "Brother, let me tell you in secret, I have a photographic memory."

Xingjian was somewhat repulsed by the sudden closeness of the person in front of him, but his body couldn't help but want to get close to the person in front of him, as if he knew the red-haired boy in front of him.

As soon as you step into this high-rise building, the first thing that catches your eye is the manta ray sculpture in the lobby that is as tall as three stories.

Everyone paused, their gaze drawn to the sculpture. Seeing their reaction, the security guard smiled. "This is the patron saint of Linhai City. Nowhere in the country, or even the world, do we have as many manta rays as we do in Linhai."

Xing Jian also looked up at the tall sculpture, but was soon attracted by the small sign under the sculpture. The small sign introduced the origin of the manta ray sculpture. The last line of small words wrote the sculptor of the sculpture, but it did not write the person's full name, but the letter "Y".

After walking past the sculpture, the security guard led them to the elevator and said, "Interns report to the 13th floor. Just take the elevator up and someone will greet you there."

The security guard left after watching everyone get on the elevator. Everyone looked at the bright red numbers in the elevator jumping up one by one, and no one dared to speak.

When the number stopped at 13, the elevator door opened and the super-cold air from the 13th floor hit him in the face. Zhang Dapeng, who was standing at the front, shuddered but walked out anyway.

Xing Jian was the last one to enter the elevator, but also the last one to leave. He looked up at the red-light flashing monitor in the elevator, and did not step out of the elevator until Qi Xiangwan called his name.

The monitor almost sensed the gaze, and the red light flashed at a high frequency for a while, and then completely went out after Xingjian left.

Compared to the indifferent security guard, as soon as they walked out of the elevator, a woman in a bright red dress walked towards them.

"Hello, classmates. Welcome to the ecological park. I am Ye Ling, the acting supervisor during your internship. You can call me Sister Ling." The woman grinned, and her bright red lips made everyone shudder.

Soon, Ye Ling noticed Zhang Dapeng, who looked nothing like a college student. She frowned and pointed at him, and the smile she had given him completely disappeared. "You're also a senior? Why don't you look like one?"

Zhang Dapeng, who was called, turned pale instantly and stammered to explain, "Sister Ling, I didn't study well and had to repeat a grade for several years before I was admitted."

After hearing Zhang Dapeng's explanation, Ye Ling became a little impatient. "Alright, stop calling me Sister Ling. You look like my dad's age."

Seeing that the NPC named Ye Ling did not do anything to him, Zhang Dapeng just breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard the woman calling his name.
