Chapter 46
Yi Tu waited quietly for three days, but did not wait for the countdown for the next card game. Instead, Shen Hao sent a team invitation first.
Most members of the Nightingale Team are concentrated in Chuzhou City, H Province, which is only about two hours away from Jinze City, S Province where he is located by high-speed rail.
"Yitu, you should have guessed how you joined the team, right? Team bonding is a test that every official Nightingale member must go through, and I am no exception."
"It just so happens that an external team member has entrusted his card game session this month to me. The game will open at 3 pm tomorrow."
Since the official members of the Nightingale Team are all of high level, the level of the card field that is spawned will also be correspondingly higher.
What's more, the higher the level of the player, the longer the card field refresh time will be.
This resulted in a period of time where an entire team was unable to enter a game because there was no card field to enter.
Therefore, in order to earn points and avoid the loss of points due to skill card cooldown, a team will recruit a large number of external players.
These external team members have one opportunity every month to submit their own refreshed and difficult-to-control card fields to the system.
The system will make these card fields public, and all members of the team can view them and enter them as they wish.
Regardless of whether the card field is cleared or not, it will not affect the next card field refresh of the external team members, but the refresh time will be advanced a lot.
The card field that Yitu was going to enter this time was refreshed by a level 7 external team member.
Shen Hao did not hide this, but he did not tell him too many details.
Everything will have to wait until Yitu arrives at the place and sees it with his own eyes before deciding whether to continue to complete the team bond.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yi Tu arrived at the place agreed upon by Shen Hao and him.
After waiting on the side of the road for a while, a black Maybach stopped in front of Yi Tu.
After rolling down the car window, he saw Shen Hao and Qi Zizhen sitting in the passenger seat.
Shen Hao was not quite the same as Yi Tu had imagined. Although his facial features were also handsome and strong in person, compared with Qu Bai in the card field, he was still a little more ordinary in person than in the game.
After all, ordinary people are the norm in life, and Qi Zi, who was sitting next to Shen Hao, really had a pretty face.
As long as he doesn't speak, he is as quiet and gentle as the senior in white clothes in college.
But the word "gentle and quiet" had nothing to do with him. When Qi Zizheng saw Yi Tu's appearance clearly, he was stunned for a second.
"...Brother Hao, did we get the wrong person? Is this Yitu?"
The person in front of me really has a great appearance. Just standing here quietly is a sight to behold.
There were many people coming and going on the road, and many of them were peeking, but no one dared to really get close to Yitu Station, making it stand out from the crowd.
"It's definitely him, location sharing is still on." Shen Hao said helplessly.
Yitu smiled and nodded at the two of them.
"Get in the car, it will be three o'clock in an hour." Shen Hao said.
After Yi Tu got into the car, Qi Zizheng was still surprised by his appearance.
"I really didn't expect this. Before I met you in person, my impression of you was still stuck on that ordinary face of yours in the poker room that I couldn't even remember!"
"Brother, you are still too low-key." Qi Zizheng said with a sigh.
"It's better not to trust people in the card room." Yitu did not give a direct answer.
Qi Zizhen nodded, agreeing completely: "That's true. I've seen incredibly handsome guys like that in the poker room, even more handsome than you."
"But in reality, he's a dark-skinned guy who's less than 1.6 meters tall."
"He's less than 1.6 meters tall. It's true that with the advent of face simulators, there are internet idols everywhere."
"But...someone like you is really an unexpected surprise." Qi Zizheng said with a smile.
Yitu smiled but said nothing. Instead, Shen Hao beside him spoke apologetically:
"Sorry, brother. Please bear with me since this is our first meeting."
Qi Zizhen: “???”
Chen Hao's car drove all the way up the mountain in the suburbs until a group of villas appeared in front of them. Yi Tu knew that they were about to reach their destination.
The Nightingale Team was richer than Yi Tu had imagined. The Maybach drove into the gate and the guard greeted them warmly. It was obvious that Shen Hao and Qi Zizhen were both the owners of this place.
Shen Hao's car stopped in front of a row of villas, and Qi Zizhen asked Yi Tu to get out of the car.
"This is the home of our team member Lu Nan. If nothing goes wrong, he will take you into the card room." After Shen Hao parked the car, he pushed open the door.
"please."
Yitu nodded.
After entering, he saw that the living room floor was covered with fine wool carpets and all the furniture was imported and expensive.
The man sitting on the beige sofa stood up when he saw them.
"Coming?"
Lu Nan was very fair, and his outstanding phoenix eyes reminded Yi Tu of Jiang Hanyu for some reason, but the former did not have the same stunning appearance as the latter.
Apart from a pair of nice eyes, Lu Nan looked like an ordinary person. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked Yi Tu up and down.
His eyes were slightly cold, not really enthusiastic.
Lu Nan looked at the calm man standing in front of him. Shen Hao brought back something quite good this time.
At least he is not like those fools who exclaim that they are rich as soon as they enter the door, but dare to brag about it in front of him.
As a result, when they entered the card room, they died faster than each other.
"You...are not the captain of Nightingale?" The person in front of him frowned slightly and suddenly asked.
Lu Nan was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied:
"I'm not the captain, but the captain has temporarily given me the position of opening the team bond."
Yi Tu remained silent after hearing this. This was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
I originally thought that even if I couldn't see all the team members this time, I could at least see most of them.
But he never expected that there was only one team member.
There is no sincerity at all, it's a blatant contempt, and it can't even be considered a show of force.
Seeing Yi Tu remained silent, Shen Hao spoke in time:
"Yitu, it's not that the captain won't take you personally, but almost everyone has just come out of the card room."
"Firstly, my mental state is not good, and secondly, the game does not allow players to enter the card room seamlessly."
Yitu glanced at Shen Hao when he heard this. Being in a bad mood was not a good excuse.
Lu Nan watched from the side and laughed, "Yitu, right? You've never joined a team, so you don't know."
"Before you officially became a member, no one would bother to gather here..."
“Because it’s totally unnecessary.”
Lu Nan and Yi Tu looked at each other and whispered, "There are too many players who come to me and try to join the team."
"But the team positions have remained vacant until now. Some are not qualified to start the team bond, while others are unlucky and are left in the card field."
"It's 2:45 PM now. There are only 15 minutes left until the team bond opens. Do you want to try?"
Yitu frowned, "What do you mean you are not qualified to start the team bond?"
Lu Nan gestured with his hands, "The ID card level is not high enough."
"Some players don't even qualify to enter the card room. What about you? What's your level?"
"Chen Hao never told me. He said he didn't know either."
A playful smile appeared on Lu Nan's lips, even though Shen Hao repeatedly assured him that this newcomer was definitely a potential stock.
But if he can't even reach the level to enter the card field, Shen Hao will be very embarrassed.
Yitu also laughed, "Just try it and you'll know if you're qualified."
His identity card, the Queen of Hearts, essentially ignores the level of the board unless there is a board with a level of King.
Hearing his words, the smile on Lu Nan's face gradually faded. This man was definitely not as simple as he seemed.
"Okay, confident enough."
Lu Nan raised his hand and looked at his watch. There were still ten minutes left.
When the last five minutes come, the card field information will be refreshed in advance, including suit and level.
The four of them sat in the living room in silence.
Even Qi Zizhen, who is usually lively, didn't dare to speak easily.
A few people seemed to be sitting outside the door, waiting for the exam, and the atmosphere was heavy.
When the time was almost up, Chen Hao took Qi Zizheng away early, otherwise the team bond would have taken them both in.
Yi Tu and Lu Nan sat face to face, and they had nothing much to talk about.
Yitu guessed that Shen Hao had probably told Lu Nan everything about his situation, including the fact that he had a spouse.
It doesn’t matter if he dies in the poker room, but other members of the team cannot die in it because of incomplete information.
As soon as the last five minutes arrived, the two people's game panels instantly refreshed the data of the next card field.
[The opening time of this card game has been updated, data is loading... Please wait! ]
The system prompt sounded in my ears.
[The game data has been loaded. Please pay attention to the opening time and related information of the card field! ]
Then lines of text appeared in front of Yitu.
[6 of Hearts Card Game - Happiness:
Venue ID: 692013
Game level: Medium
Number of players: 13
Countdown to the opening time of this card game: five minutes]
[Attention players! The team bond for this game has been opened, and your prospective team number has been entered...]
[The card game enters the one-minute countdown, and the card nominations are about to appear. Players, please be prepared! ]
[Brand nomination: Double Happiness]
[The card game enters the countdown 3, 2, 1.....the number of players has been loaded! ]
As the countdown disappeared, a feeling of dizziness came over him, and Yitu squinted his eyes uncomfortably.
Just as he was about to close his eyes, a big "囍" character suddenly appeared in the air, the color of which was extremely dazzling red.
Behind the word "囍" are countless frightened and panicked faces, screaming.
Yitu couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and a chill crept up his back.
When he opened his eyes again, the scene he saw was very strange and depressing.
The stone lions with stiff and strange faces stared at him indifferently, and on the tall gray wall was a paper-cut of the word "囍", which inexplicably exuded a dead atmosphere.
Yi Tu looked away and looked up to see the large mansion in front of him with red lanterns hanging on it. On the black plaque were written the imposing words "Dong's House".
On the narrow street where he was, there was not just one large compound like Dong's house, but another one right next door.
It was already dusk, and Yitu was standing alone on the street, looking quite deserted.
After a while, people began to walk slowly from both ends of the street.
Yitu tried to identify the faces of these players, but didn't see anyone who looked like Lu Nan.
In order to help Lu Nan recognize him better, he only changed the appearance of the human skin jacket a little.
The first person to arrive at Dong's house was a short woman dragging a 24-inch suitcase.
When she saw Yi Tu, she didn't intend to go up and say hello, but just found a corner and leaned against the box and waited.
Yitu's eyes were always on her heavy-looking box. If she could bring it into the card room, it must be a prop.
I just don't know what it is used for.
When two or three more men and women came together, Yitu finally saw someone who looked like Lu Nan.
The man wore gold-rimmed glasses and came to the door of Dong's house alone without any hurry.
When their eyes met, they confirmed each other's identities.
"Some people haven't arrived yet, let's wait." Lu Nan said.
Yitu nodded. The difficulty level of this card room was intermediate, although nothing strange happened when he entered.
This street looks very normal, but the information refreshed when entering the card room makes Yitu puzzled.
The name of the card room is the word "囍", and the card nomination is double happiness. Apart from happiness, they don't have any other hints. It is so concise that it is almost harsh.
Yitu looked at the mansion behind him and guessed that two families on this street must have held a wedding together.
The beginning of the game must be based on the background of accidents happening in these two happy events.
Yitu was absorbed in analysis when suddenly a prompt popped up on his game panel.
[Your application for dissolution of relationship has been rejected! Please apply again in three months!]
A trace of surprise flashed across Yitu's face. How could it be ineffective?
Unless he and Jiang Hanyu enter the card room together again during the cooling-off period, the application for dissolution of the spousal relationship will be automatically rejected.
But he and Jiang Hanyu had no contact at all, and even the sharing terminal between spouses was automatically closed by the system.
Just as Yi Tu was stunned for a moment, two people walked up to him from his left, one in front and one behind.
The leader was of outstanding height, and although he looked aloof, it couldn't hide his handsome face.
The moment Yitu and the man looked at each other, they saw surprise in each other's eyes.
When Yitu saw the young man following closely behind him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a half-smile:
"Baby, what a coincidence! Are you...coming out to take care of your brother?"
Jiang Hanyu didn't expect that Yi Tu had such a side to him, so he didn't speak first. The young man next to him looked at Yi Tu with curiosity.
".....your ex?"
At this time, Lu Nan also noticed something wrong between the two of them. He looked at the person following behind the man and instantly understood everything.
Coughed awkwardly:
"So what Chen Hao said was true. Your couple is coming out with a new lover now?"
Alarm bells rang in Yi Tu's mind, but before he could interrupt Lu Nan, he saw the man was stunned.
"New love?" Jiang Hanyu smiled, and a hint of obscurity flashed in his brown eyes.
Yitu: “…” Oh no.
