Chapter 111 Sea Amusement Park (Twenty)
As you enter the circus, you can see a large canvas with popcorn and other snacks placed on both sides. Visitors can take them for free. There is a staircase next to the canvas. Visitors can go up the stairs and go behind the canvas, and then they can see the real stage of the circus.
The circus stage is circular, and the audience seats are set up around the stage. Ning Hanqi can see the stage from behind the canvas. They are now in the highest and last position in the audience seats.
The surrounding speakers were playing harsh and eerie music, and on the stage there was a "person" dressed as a clown performing acrobatics, probably warming up the audience.
The tour guide disappeared after they walked into the dark auditorium. He neither arranged seats for the players nor left any words. In short, he disappeared inexplicably.
There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. The players were on guard against the tour guide, but they didn't notice that a clown suddenly appeared next to them. The music and atmosphere, coupled with the terrifying makeup on the clown's face, really tested one's heart's endurance.
The organization that Xia Yingnuan finally chose was called "A Cup of Lemon Tea". Although it sounded a bit unprofessional, Xia Yingnuan didn't care what the organization was called, and the other party showed full sincerity.
They did not look down on Lin Hui and Li Nanmeng just because they were incidental people. Instead, they valued all three of them and promised to find someone to take them through the dungeon together.
Although there were not many bigwigs in their organization, the other party was very sincere and not the kind of organization that said one thing in public and another behind the scenes. So after a horizontal comparison, Xia Yingnuan chose them.
Li Nanmeng and Lin Hui never had any objection to Xia Yingnuan's choice, so on a new day, the three of them prepared to report to [Lemon Tea].
Because it is a relatively small organization, although it has its own house, its location is relatively remote and not close to the transit island center.
Of course this is understandable.
The best villas, courtyards or buildings in the center have all been bought by the top-ranked organizations.
For insignificant newcomers like them, Zhan Ning is not yet at this level and doesn't even have the authority to purchase.
Lemon Tea was located on a middle floor of a building. As Ning Hou got off the elevator, Li Nanmeng kept muttering, "Do you think this is a trap if we go over there?"
Lin Hui didn't expect her to have such an idea, so she asked her, "Why do you think so?"
Li Nanmeng didn't know how to organize her words for a moment. She scratched her head and gestured, "Just some common scams..."
Although Li Nanmeng's words were confusing, the other two understood what she meant.
Xia Yingnuan sighed softly, "Have you read the newcomer's handbook?"
Li Nanmeng: "Have you seen it?"
Xia Yingnuan said, "The most important rule in the new player's handbook is that players on the transit island cannot harm or kill each other. Didn't you see that?"
Li Nanmeng: ...This is so embarrassing.jpg
"Not yet."
Lin Hui shook her head helplessly. "It's a good thing you said this here. It would be too rude if the other party heard it."
Li Nanmeng gestured to shut up.
After ringing the doorbell, someone came to open the door soon.
The other party was a man. Although it was not known whether he was the boss of Lemon Tea, he seemed to be a staff member of the center.
After seeing them, he immediately smiled and said, "You are the newcomers who came to check today, right?"
Xia Yingnuan nodded slightly.
The other party stepped aside and invited them in.
After Xia Yingnuan entered, she discovered that in addition to the man who opened the door, there were two other people sitting inside, a man and a woman. They both looked very calm and steady. After noticing Xia Yingnuan and the other two, they nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Please take a seat. Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Liangnian, and I'm the leader of Lemon Tea. These two are Zhao Yuan and Wu Xing."
So Xia Yingnuan and the other two introduced themselves.
Because it was her first time interviewing with an organization, Xia Yingnuan was actually a little unsure, but the other party seemed to be as reserved as she was, so she guessed that it was also their first time recruiting.
Just as Xia Yingnuan was thinking this, Ning Hou said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little inexperienced as this is my first time recruiting."
“…”
Lin Hui asked, "Excuse me, I'm a little curious. How long has your organization been established? How come you only started recruiting recently?"
Zhou Liangnian: "Ah, it's just been established for a month."
“…”
This answer is somewhat unexpected.
Xia Yingnuan didn't expect that the organization she chose was actually a "newborn".
However, she herself didn't really mind these things, because the reason why Xia Yingnuan chose this organization was only because of its simplicity and the benefits it could provide to her, and it had nothing to do with how long it had been established.
However, I don’t know whether Lin Hui and Li Nanmeng are willing to accept her.
Thinking of this, Xia Yingnuan looked at the two of them.
Lin Hui and Li Nanmeng noticed Xia Yingnuan's gaze and roughly understood what she meant, so they both said they didn't mind.
The conversation continued.
Zhou Liangnian reiterated what he had discussed with Xia Yingnuan on the phone before, and solemnly promised that he would fulfill his words. He said he would help the three of them with the copy, and he would definitely do it.
Moreover, their organization is very simple, and they will not bully newcomers. As long as newcomers come, they are all veterans.
Because both parties had the intention, after a brief understanding, they decided to add lemon tea.
In fact, this was a decision that had been discussed before, and this interview was just for the final verification.
Zhou Liangnian was very happy, "Okay, okay, then you are welcome to join the lemon tea."
Then, Zhou Liangnian said, "Zhao Yuan and Wu Xing are the ones who will lead you to the next dungeon."
Zhao Yuan said, "Hello, my name is Zhao Yuan, and my level is C-50%. His name is Wu Xing, and his level is B-10%. Wu Xing and I will lead you in the next dungeon. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Li Nanmeng was a little surprised. "Wow, this is my first time meeting a B-rank person."
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "What's the big deal? B-level people are quite common. And as you clear more dungeons in the future, you can quickly reach B-level as well."
Li Nanmeng nodded.
Wu Xing asked, "The next dungeon for newbies is all in ten days. How many days of quiet time do you have left?"
He has a rather cold personality. Compared to the gentle questions and answers from Zhao Yuan and Zhou Liangnian, his sudden voice startled people. They suddenly felt as if they had seen the head teacher.
Li Nanmeng subconsciously shrugged his neck and then whispered, "Six more days."
Wu Xing nodded, "Should we go in early?"
Li Nanmeng subconsciously turned around and looked at Xia Yingnuan.
Wu Xing also looked over when he saw this. Clearly, the one who held the highest rank among these three was the newcomer who held the most dominance.
Xia Yingnuan said, "Let's not do that."
They knew very little about the dungeon, so of course the later they entered, the better. During this free time, they could also learn more knowledge.
Wu Xing did not object because he just wanted to get to know Ning Jian. Seeing this, he just nodded.
Zhou Liangnian asked: "Since you are joining, do you need to move in?"
Lin Hui asked him, "Is there any extra room here?"
Zhou Liangnian: "Of course, although this floor is just an ordinary four-bedroom, two-living room apartment, the two rooms next door are also ours."
Lin Hui nodded after hearing this.
Perhaps only in the world of wealth can ordinary people afford to buy two four-bedroom houses.
However, although it sounds simple, if Xia Yingnuan were to do it herself, she probably wouldn't even be able to buy a house.
Although Zhou Liangnian and his group seem to be a small organization within a small organization, any one of them is much stronger than himself.
Xia Yingnuan would not look down on them.
Zhou Liangnian: "If you want to move in, you can move in next door together. You guys are familiar with each other, so just live together."
Xia Yingnuan had no objection to this.
She asked, "Besides this, are there any other people in the organization?"
"There's another one, but she's been to the dungeon."
Xia Yingnuan didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.
In other words, at most, this small organization consists of only four people.
...Well, at least the staff was kept simple.
With fewer people, the situation will be much simpler.
Afterwards, Xia Yingnuan and the others moved to Lemon Tea to live, and Tong Ning exchanged some knowledge with people in the organization in the remaining space.
Six days later, it was Ningjian where they were going to enter the dungeon.
Zhao Yuan said: "I have sent you the binding invitation, remember to accept it."
In the mall of the Strength World, there is an item that can be purchased with points and given to friends. Its function is to bind people who have the same password for the item together so that they can enter the copy together.
Because the function of the props is to bind people, it doesn’t matter who buys it and sets the password. As long as the invited person accepts it, they can go to the dungeon together.
This was also Lemon Tea’s previous promise, and the props were purchased by them.
Although an item costs ten points and it seems that anyone can afford it, for newcomers like them who have just come out of the Novice Village, points are the most important thing. It can be said that each point is valuable.
If you use the points to buy props, it's not that you can't get them back, but it's equivalent to weakening your own strength in disguise, and no one wants that.
The world of power is a dangerous world. Everyone wants to protect themselves in the best way possible. If possible, they will certainly spend every penny wisely.
After accepting the invitation, an icon similar to a Chinese knot appeared behind their names, indicating that they had become teammates.
Among them, Xia Yingnuan, Lin Hui, and Li Nanmeng had a small red flag icon after their names, indicating that the next dungeon they would enter would be the one they were about to enter. The difficulty and dungeon content were prioritized for them.
Wu Xing asked, "Are you all ready?"
Xia Yingnuan nodded.
"Then let's go."
…
They were at the entrance of a village.
The village seemed to be quite old and underdeveloped. If it weren't for the fact that most of the houses were bungalows instead of thatched houses, Xia Yingnuan would even have thought it was an ancient village.
Wu Xing looked around and soon saw two unfamiliar newcomers on the other side.
It seems that there are not enough people in the copy, so other new people were randomly assigned.
Wu Xing said: "Check your phone first, there should be a task released."
Unlike the Novice Village’s open way of posting tasks, after a newcomer enters the dungeon, tasks may be posted on their mobile phones, or there may be no tasks and they will have to rely entirely on their own exploration and guessing. The methods vary, but all they have in common is that the best way to clear the dungeon is to complete the tasks.
Xia Yingnuan took out her phone and looked at it. Sure enough, a task icon was floating on the screen. She clicked it and took a look.
【Task: Help the village chief solve the problem.】
Very concise.
Moreover, the mission seemed very clear, and they did not need to think about what the mission was, but could go straight to the goal.
Ning, and the two people next to him also came over.
The two clowns were also stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and tacitly covered the cage with the black cloth again. The clowns clapped their hands, and when the black cloth was pulled off again, a living tiger appeared in the cage. However, the blood in the cage had not been cleaned up yet.
"Where's Miss Ning!" Gao Yu's intuition told her that the tiger's corpse was not a performance effect. Where did her boss go?
"Don't be anxious. The tiger is dead, which means she is fine." Zhuang Meng didn't think that such a small matter could stump Ning Hanqi and the others.
Two clowns carried down the cage containing the tiger, and then the goat and the monkey were driven onto the stage to perform various acrobatics.
"She should be back..." Sea Hare glanced at the time. She had watched countless circus performances and remembered clearly how long it took for the players in this show to disappear and be brought back. Now it was several minutes overtime.
This anomaly was obviously beyond the clown's expectations. The monkey and the goat were pushed out to delay time, and the two clowns should have taken the opportunity to deal with the abnormal situation, so where did Ning Hanqi go?
