Chapter 133 Mizuki Private High School (V)
Morpheus raised his hand, then put it down reluctantly.
After a while, she seemed to have thought of something and her attitude became much softer.
"Everyone, since Guild One and Guild Two are unwilling to lend a hand, it would be better for everyone to work in pairs to search for relevant clues together."
She turned her head and smiled a little awkwardly. "Originally, I thought that the members of Guild One, Guild Two, and Guild Five were all confirmed, which means that the identities of twelve people can be verified by their companions. We can just use six people together, so that the thirty-one people can be separated. It will be better if the people with confirmed identities take us with them. In addition, the players of the three guilds are all very capable. We will definitely be able to catch the person that the system has planted around us very quickly."
"But maybe I'm overthinking it. Since the two guilds have expressed their unwillingness, let's find a solution ourselves. President Assassin, do you have any ideas?"
After Morpheus expressed his opinion in a sarcastic tone, he turned the conversation to the Fifth Guild.
However, the latter knew very well what she was up to, and imitated her, smiling with a forced smile.
"President Morpheus thinks too highly of us. But to be honest, I brought these people in just to see what the new dungeon released by the system is like. I just want to take a sample. Besides, my ability is not as good as the first and second presidents, and I can't do such things as instructing others. I am still grateful for your kindness."
Few people believed this reason, whether it was said or heard. Everyone just smiled superficially and chatted with each other. Nan Huan took a look and felt that it was boring.
However, many players breathed a sigh of relief because of the words of the Assassin's Guild President, as they thought that the other guild's bad reputation was still far-reaching.
"I'm quite surprised that the Assassin's Guild leader didn't take this opportunity to cooperate with the other party?"
Twelve was a little curious. After all, in her impression, the other party would not let go of anything that could disrupt the situation.
"Nothing surprising," Nan Huan turned her head and led them towards the club's activity venue. "He just saw that Morpheus wanted to deal with us and wanted to take advantage of us. Now he doesn't want to waste his strength."
Nan Huan explained the whole story in just two sentences. Nan Huan pushed him to take two steps and turned to look at Bei Xi and Barbie behind him. "President, let's go this way, okay? What President Murphys said just now is obviously a moral blackmail on us. If we really follow the method she proposed, maybe we can find the extra person quickly."
Bei Xi and Barbie heard her words, smiled, and did not answer.
Seeing how slow she was, Liushen simply put his arm around her shoulders and led the group forward. "Little Twelve, let me ask you, does that Morpheus look like a good person?"
Twelve didn't understand why the other party suddenly changed the subject. She shook her head at first, then reacted instantly, "What are you talking about, Twelve Xiao? What are you yelling about?"
Liu Shen ignored her grumble and continued to explain, "Since she is not a good person and has shown hostility towards us since entering the game, why did she suddenly come up with a solution that even you think is good? And do you remember what the side quest is?"
"ah?"
These series of questions made Twelve a little confused. It took her a long time to digest them. When the missing parts were filled in, she slapped her head.
"The side quest only let us find the student card, not the extra person, but Morpheus directly set the goal on finding the person who installed the system, so something is wrong... Oh, my head hurts."
When she was happy, she would do anything to herself without any restraint.
Liushen was amused by her, but he still rubbed her several times. "Anyway, we have already reminded everyone that we should, and I hope those players can learn from this."
"But that person must be with them. If Morpheus finds him first, will it be disadvantageous to us?"
After figuring it out, Twelve became a little worried about this.
"Well, it shouldn't happen." Nan Huan had been listening to the two of them talking, and suddenly interrupted them, "If she could use the information gap we didn't know about to exchange some information with the system like she did in the game lobby incident, she wouldn't have been so weird just now and wanted us to help together. Besides, there are so many of them, and she's afraid that person will do something secretly, so she won't all act together. Besides, there are side quests to complete. As long as everyone separates, everyone has the same chance, so don't worry."
Twelve had experienced the quick thinking of the president and the eldest lady before, but she didn't expect that in just a few minutes, even President Barbie and Liu Shen had thought so much. She suddenly felt as if she knew the cheats and felt superior in playing the game.
How do I describe this feeling?
It's just awesome.
"Then Miss, where should we start now? There are too many people here. Should we ask each club one by one?"
At this time, they had already walked to the entrance of the event venue, and saw crowds of people everywhere.
Twelve swore that even before she entered the dungeon, in real life, whether it was on documentary channels or in the news, the recruiting clubs of top universities and the grand occasion of the first day of school that she had seen were incomparable to the scene before her.
What's more, the setting of this copy is just a high school.
From this we can see that this "private" is not just talk.
Nan Huan was also a little confused when she heard Twelve's question. After all, she herself had never come to school to study normally. She found these clubs very interesting. It turned out that school life was so interesting.
She didn't expect that she could experience something in the game that she hadn't felt in the real world. She was very excited.
Bei Xi certainly felt Nan Huan's excitement. There were too many people here, so she held Nan Huan tighter again. After hearing Twelve's question, she used her superior height in the crowd to quickly lock onto a shed near the entrance.
"Of course not." Bei Xi protected Nan Huan, trying not to let the people around her crowd her, and took her over there, "Let's ask someone first."
After answering Twelve, she lowered her head with amusement.
"Others are extremely worried when they come to school, but you are so happy?"
Bei Xi looked at Nan Huan's eyes that were about to pop out of their heads due to curiosity, "Didn't I take you to my school before? Why do you act like you've never seen it before?"
"How can it be the same? When you were in high school, you could only take me in during holidays, and there were not many people in the school. After college, I haven't seen so many people on campus, right?"
Nan Huan didn't forget what happened before, and felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned it.
As they were talking, the group of eight of them finally squeezed under a shed that was closest to the entrance and also the most spacious.
"Student Union and Activities Management Office?"
Twelve read the words on the sign at the door and finally understood what his president meant by what he had just said.
Compared to the lively consultations under other sheds, this place seemed a bit deserted. Even behind the table, there were only two people sitting. One was lying on the table, playing with his mobile phone out of boredom, while the other was typing on the computer very seriously.
On the table was a process sheet with times and annotations written on it, and there was a microphone standing on the far left.
It wasn't until Twelve spoke that he caught the attention of the man browsing his phone.
He quickly raised his head and glanced at the few people blocking the table. After realizing that most of them looked unfamiliar, he continued to browse his phone and waved his hand nonchalantly, "The student union is not recruiting new members. Go check out other clubs."
Their attitude was very arrogant, as if they had defiled this Feng Shui treasure land just by standing there.
The female classmate who was typing on the computer didn't even raise her head.
Is this how top universities treat people?
Twelve felt that his heart, which had been so excited just now, was instantly chilled by the slap.
President Barbie and her people stepped back. Among their group, except for the president and the eldest daughter, who were obviously from noble families, the rest had never dealt with students from such aristocratic schools, so this professional problem should be left to professionals to solve.
There was no obvious change in Bei Xi's expression. It seemed that he didn't care about the other party's attitude at all, or he seemed to have already expected this situation.
However, she cared too much about Nan Huan. Seeing that Nan Huan was obviously very interested in other clubs and didn't pay much attention to things here, she decided to make a quick decision.
"We are new transfer students," Bei Xi introduced calmly even though her identity had been discovered by the other party. "But on the first day of school, we found that our student cards were lost. Can the Student Union help us to get a new one?"
Her tone was not anxious from beginning to end, and her attitude was not respectful or gentle, but it was not enough to make the listeners feel disgusted.
I don’t know if there are some key words in these words, or if Bei Xi’s attitude when speaking doesn’t quite fit in with the character of a freshman.
In short, the boy playing with his cell phone and the girl typing on the computer raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other. Their expressions became very serious, mixed with a bit of irritability, but they still answered Bei Xi's question.
"No, the Student Union is not responsible for reissuing student cards."
"Then can the student union help us find our student cards? We can use an announcement, or if you don't mind the trouble, we can post a notice."
Bei Xi didn't seem to mind the negative answer. It seemed that in addition to plan A, her mind also contained plan B\\C\\D, etc. Anyway, she looked at the microphone on the table and the A4 paper next to it and smiled kindly.
Although he looks very friendly on the outside, for some reason he always exudes a very difficult temperament.
"We are not in a hurry. We can wait. After all, the senior sister just introduced that the student union of Shuimu Private High School always solves a lot of problems for the students. I think they will definitely be able to help us to some extent, right?"
He also blocked the opponent's retreat.
Nanhuan fully understood Beixi's strategy.
As freshmen, they came to Shuimu Private High School and had to abide by school rules. For example, without student cards, they could only move around in the club activity area.
So on the other hand, as NPCs in various operating departments of this school, to a certain extent, they also have to abide by a certain range of rules. For example, members of the Student Union should provide help to the best of their ability and within the scope permitted by the rules, especially when players make requests.
As expected, the two student union members behind the table looked even uglier after Bei Xi finished speaking, but they did not directly reject Bei Xi's request like they did the first time.
"We can help broadcast. Please leave your name. We will ask the students who found your student ID card to send it here as soon as possible."
After weighing the pros and cons, the girl came up with a solution that seemed acceptable to both parties, and then added grimly, "But if no one picks it up, or the person who delivers it is not in time, then you still can't get on the school bus."
Bei Xi had anticipated this level of compromise, and she also knew that asking the other party to help find the item directly was beyond their authority, but she just wanted to throw a stone into the calm lake to see what happened.
Bei Xi smiled and methodically took out a piece of paper with the names of eight people in the dungeon written on it from his pocket, which he had prepared when all the players were arguing, and handed it over.
"Thank you very much," he said with no guilty conscience, and it didn't sound like he had prepared it in advance. Seeing that the other party seemed to have been fooled and was reluctant to take over, he added another sentence.
"Or maybe I used to be a broadcaster. If I were given the opportunity to try, I would be willing to give it a try..."
Although the other party agreed to help with the broadcast, Bei Xi didn't trust them very much. After all, if they were expelled two hours later because they couldn't find their student cards, the broadcast would count, so she still hoped to finalize the matter right now.
However, because they are students now and are not sure if there are any other rules or restrictions, Bei Xi did not directly touch Bai's microphone at the side, but first asked for opinions and put pressure on them.
I regretted that I wanted to delay the broadcast, but I was caught red-handed. I had no choice but to take the note, "Not everyone can broadcast the student union's broadcast. We can do it ourselves."
Bei Xi nodded and handed the note over. "It seems that the majors are different. Then our school's broadcast for finding lost items should be broadcast every half an hour, right? After all, it is the number one private school in the city. It can't be outdone by an ordinary high school, right?"
I can only wear this high hat with gritted teeth.
"Of course not, we will broadcast it every half an hour on time," the girl finally realized how difficult the person in front of her was. However, as an NPC, she could not refuse such a thing that was within her ability, so she could only grit her teeth and agree.
"I also hope that you can find your student card as soon as possible and stay in Mizuki Private High School."
"We will, thanks for the blessing."
Bei Xi was thick-skinned and didn't care whether the words were good or bad, so he responded quite quickly.
Do I sound like I am blessing you?
How about you listen to it again?
The girl's eyes were almost bloodshot, but Bei Xi didn't have time to pay attention to it. After hearing the other party's personal consent, she took the people behind her and went directly to the more lively place inside.
This move is like throwing a stone to test the water. The key is the situation inside.
After all, she did not forget the system's prompt that the clue might be in the welcome club, plus there was a time limit of one and a half hours.
"We don't have much time. It would be a waste of time to act together. There are so many societies. It would be quicker and more convenient to separate. The anti-eavesdropping communication channel has been established. Everyone can share any clues. President, do you have anything else to add?"
Barbie has already made preparations for the next step, dividing into groups.
The two of them cooperated very well. If no one said it, no one would know that this was the first time they met in a copy.
"There are three points. First, when the hot broadcast starts, pay attention to the reactions of people around you, especially those from various clubs. Second, apart from the flyers delivered to you, do not touch the club's things casually. If you really need to use them, it is recommended that you obtain permission first. Third, apart from the eight of us, you must pay special attention to the clues provided by the remaining players and do not trust them easily."
Bei Xi quickly summed up three points. Although no one knew how the other party knew that things could not be touched, everyone had a natural respect for what the president said, and everyone remembered these three points firmly.
"Okay, then we'll form groups of two, a total of four groups. The two groups, me and the president, will start from the starting point of the activity, one on the left and one on the right. The remaining two groups will start from the middle. We'll report the situation every fifteen minutes in the channel. Is that okay?"
"Can."
President Barbie's style is very refreshing. No one has any objection to the assigned teams. One minute later, all the teams have set off as planned.
Beixi was naturally in the same team with Nanhuan, and they were responsible for checking from the right side of the starting point.
After passing the empty Student Union, more students appeared in the venue. However, none of them wore school uniforms. I don't know how the people from the Student Union could tell at a glance that they were freshmen.
"How do you feel?"
The two stood outside the first shed, looking at the bustling crowd, and Bei Xi asked a question.
Nan Huan looked at the endless club signs and the dazzling array of names, and said sincerely, "This school has an incredible number of clubs. Do high school students have so much time? And all these projects..."
Nan Huan's eyes shifted from the seven or eight different dance clubs not far away: ballet club, Latin dance club, classical dance club... to the chess club, go club, piano club, violin club, equestrian club, fencing club, etc. across the street, as if to say, "These programs are really suitable for the word 'private'. I'm afraid that parents don't know where their money is spent?"
"Although the layout and name of the school are different, I can vaguely see the shadow of the high school you attended before?"
Nan Huan looked around and came to a conclusion with certainty.
Although she couldn't go to school, she also participated in Beixi's student life. Except that the copy was more exaggerated and many identity symbols of private schools were externalized, there was actually not much change.
"Yeah," Bei Xi actually had this feeling from the first time she saw this school, "Whether it's Shuimu City or this so-called Shuimu Private High School, they all have some shadows of our reality."
"Classmate, do you want to join our French club?"
While the two were talking, two flyers were handed out to them, along with an extremely enthusiastic voice.
