Li Yinhang: “…”

It's too immersive. It was as if he had returned to his nightmare summer vacation when he was forced to supervise his little nephew's homework.

When the surrounding environment was gradually rendered out of garbled characters, Nan Zhou discovered that he and seven other people were standing in the living room of an ordinary residential apartment.

This is a cozy family room.

Three rooms and two halls, about 100 square meters.

On the wall of the living room, there is a handmade cross stitch, beautifully framed, among the three bright peonies, the needle touch of "safe family" is hidden.

The wallpaper is a uniform soft goose yellow, which has a gradual color correlation with the apricot yellow of the light, and the transition is natural and harmonious.

The bear clock hanging in the living room and the silence outside the window told them that it was almost 12 midnight.

Everything is normal here.

The only strange thing is that in the huge living room, there is no door leading to the outside world.

Looking for the "door" to leave, just to find a way to get out of this house?

Yellow lights cast on everyone, creating messy black shadows on the ground.

There are eight players in total. According to their respective positions at the beginning, it can be easily judged that the players are divided into three groups.

They watched each other carefully.

No one broke the silence the first time.

Nan Zhou, Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang are a group.

The other trio is also a configuration of one woman and two men.

The women are twenty-seven or eight-year-old, and they are shrewd and capable from the inside out.

Two men, one of them is tall and strong, and his body has obviously been systematically exercised. There are blocks and bases, like a fitness coach.

The remaining duo is somewhat special.

…one of them is in a wheelchair.

Seeing this, Li Yinhang felt pity.

Even the disabled are pulled in, the system is really not human.

The man in the wheelchair looked like he was in his early thirties. He had an elite temperament like snow and ice.

Nanzhou is mysterious and indifferent, he is polite and steady.

In this environment, his clothes are still extra decent and graceful in leisure, and there is actually a faint fragrance of Bulgari white tea perfume on his body.

He introduced himself to the nearest Nan Zhou: "Yu Tuisi, lawyer. I have completed 4 missions."

After he introduced, there was no response for a long time.

Yu Lu held on to the wheelchair handle and turned around, helplessly lost his eyes: "Call someone."

The tall young man who was seven or eight years younger than him and was looking left and right heard the words, and said obediently "Oh": "Chen Sufeng, studying in college, senior year."

The young man has a pair of drooping dog eyes. At first glance, he looks like a boy in the sunshine sports department who is very popular in school, but he still can't take off his student spirit, and his eyes are clean. And straightforward.

Nan Zhou: "Nan Zhou, art teacher. This is my first official assignment."

Yu Tuisi nodded, then turned to Jiang Fang: "Foreign friends?"

Jiang Fang: "Yes, half of it. My name is Jiang Fang, an international exchange student, studying music."

Li Yinhang: "..." Brother, aren't you a homeless person?

But she still reported her occupation and name.

The skinny monkey-like man was listening, and he clapped his hands with a smile: "Haha, just right, the eight of us, eight things, must be done by one person. The art teacher is just right You can do handicrafts. As an exchange student, I guess you can’t do anything else, just take a nap or something at the head office.”

…Li Yinhang does not feel very comfortable.

Everyone is exchanging information, why is it his turn to issue orders?

Nan Zhou completely ignored him and continued to talk to Yu Tuisi: "We just passed the trial level."

Yu Tuisi also kept his eyes open: "It's okay, it's all coming step by step."

Jiang Fang also asked: "Have you ever been in contact with supernatural levels before?"

Yu Tuisi: "Well, I have been in contact twice, but this time the scene is smaller than the previous one."

Skinny monkey hanging aside: "…"

The tall and sturdy fitness coach cast a slightly dissatisfied look at the capable woman with exquisite makeup.

The woman looked around the living room and whispered to the fitness coach.

The fitness coach nodded a few times, slapped him twice, and roughly interrupted their conversation.

"Be quiet, you guys." He sounded like he was training five juniors, "Now is not the time to chat, we have to assign tasks first."

Li Yinhang was a little embarrassed.

However, when her peripheral vision swept randomly on her game board, she almost doubted her life.

The quest log contains the current team information, and you can view the names and levels of the eight dungeon players.

The group name of Yu and Chen is "Nanshan", Yu Tuisi is level 9, and Chen Sufeng is level 8.

The other three-person group "Tailwind" is level 10.

I am a lonely 2nd.

…She is still the one with the highest points among the three.

Li Yinhang thought he was dazzled, so he went to check the attributes of his teammates.

…Nanzhou used the 750 points obtained from the trial level to unlock two item slots worth 300 points.

Deducting the 10 points for wishing, plus the 5 points for finding the easter egg, he only had 145 points left, and he fell directly back to level 1.

Jiang Fang was even more extreme than him. He opened two extra items and exchanged two items. The points are about to be less than 100.

Li Yinhang: "..." Although she didn't earn this point, she couldn't help but feel pain for them both.

Since the points rankings are there, "Tailwind" did not take the three newcomers "Cube" in their eyes at all.

They have to hurry up and compete with "Nanshan", who is next to them, for the right to speak in the mission.

The gameplay of this game is relatively clear.

Eight things are obviously corresponding to eight players. If nothing else, they should be required to divide their labor and cooperate to complete the corresponding things in a specific time period.

Then here comes the disagreement.

The completion time of the eight things is long or short, difficult or easy.

The longer the time, the greater the variable.

For example, who is willing to take the initiative to do things like "sleep" and "manual work" that take a long time, are difficult, and have large variables?

Yu Tuisi put his hand on his lap and gestured to them: "I can't do much."

The fitness coach looked at his legs: "Are you really lame?"

Chen Sufeng was not happy, and stepped out: "What do you mean?"

Yu Tuisi raised his hand, lightly placed it on Chen Sufeng's waist and abdomen, and pressed him back with the back of his hand.

The fitness coach is not afraid of this stunned young man: "Just ask and see, I am afraid that someone will excuse me to be lazy."

"Hey, since you can't move, I'll arrange for you to sleep at night." The thin monkey said, "I don't need you to do anything else anyway."

Yu Tuisi said lightly: "Okay."

He promised too readily, but instead made the capable woman Shen Jie frown.

She is the brain of "Tailwind", she must consider everything thoroughly.

The game description makes it clear that the game will officially start after 12:00.

"Sleep" is the first thing "Xiao Ming" does.

Therefore, it most likely contains key information to solve the puzzle.

If such an important matter is handed over to the people of "Nanshan", wouldn't the initiative be in their hands?

What if they withhold important information?

Shen Jie was hesitating when the young and handsome half-blood in the rookie team made a move.

Jiang Fang took out a brand new set of playing cards from under the glass coffee table: "If you arrange it at will, there will always be disputes and a waste of time."

He offered another solution: "Let's draw poker instead."

He took apart the new deck, drew eight cards from it, and showed them to everyone one by one.

"Ace of Hearts to 8 of Hearts."

"The task contains a total of eight things, arranged in chronological order."

"A of hearts means homework at 9 o'clock, 8 of hearts means going to bed from 10 pm to 8 am the next day."

"Whoever draws will do what. If you have an opinion on the matter at hand, you can exchange it within the group, not outside the group."

"How?"

The fitness coach and the thin monkey turned their attention to Shen Jie and asked her for her opinion.

Shen Jie nodded.

This is reasonable.

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Jiang Fang smiled gently, put the cards in the thin stack of cards in good order, and slowly shuffled the cards.

His technique doesn't seem to be very flexible, and the number of cards is small. He shuffles very slowly at first, and then shuffles a little faster later, and accidentally dropped one.

Jiang Fang said "sorry", glanced at Nan Zhou, then leaned down, picked up the 2 of hearts that fell, and inserted it into the card.

After shuffling dozens of times, he put the cards upside down on the coffee table, swiped with one finger, and the cards slipped away.

He took two steps back: "You choose, I will come last."

Everyone looked at the cards and was a little reluctant to touch them.

Nan Zhou remembered the meaningful look Jiang Fang looked at himself when he dropped the 2 of hearts, and a light line quickly drawn beside the dark blue pattern on the back of the 2 of hearts Fingernail print, probably understood what Jiang Fang wanted him to do.

He was the first to take out the marked 2 of hearts.

Others see that someone has chosen, and they also do their own work and draw cards.

Yu Tuisi's card was taken by Chen Sufeng.

Some people are happy and some are worried.

Only Nan Zhou showed a little confusion in his calm expression.

He saw Jiang Fang take out eight hearts.

He also saw with his own eyes that after Jiang Fang dropped the 2 of hearts, he drew a mark on it with a quick and natural technique.

…So why is there a smiling red Joker in your hand?

In the blink of an eye, the cards were exhausted.

Jiang Fang took the last one.

Shen Jie was not satisfied with her cards.

She drew "Shampoo".
