At 6:55, Mo Xiaoyao, who had eaten, appeared in the small theater on time. From the entrance, the seats on this floor were almost full. Occasionally, there would be a vacant seat in the middle of a certain floor, and she couldn't tell if it was a vacant seat, or if the people around her inherited the good Chinese tradition and occupied it for relatives and friends.
When she was hesitating whether to go upstairs to have a look, a familiar greeting sounded from the front. Following the sound, Mo Xiaoyao saw Le Yin waving her arms, beckoning her to come to the front.
All right, as long as there is a place.
Mo Xiaoyao walked towards Leyin, and at the same time looked at the people in the theater, almost all of them were black-haired and yellow-skinned like her. Occasionally, there were a few dialects drifting by, but at least they were within the range of cognition. It's not like a foreign language.
Leyin was sitting in the front row, Jiang Yan was on his left, who had also arrived, and on his right was a man Mo Xiaoyao didn't know.
"Sister Xiaoyao, this is my friend Liu Min, who used to be in a band. Liu Min, this is Mo Xiaoyao, a comrade in trouble."
Seeing Liu Min standing up to shake hands with him, Mo Xiaoyao took half a step back, then nodded to Liu Min, walked over to Jiang Yan's side, and sat next to him.
Liu Min was a little embarrassed, and the expression on his face was not so good-looking, Leyin hurriedly smoothed things over: "Minzi, don't mind, Xiaoyao is good everywhere, but she is too shy."
Without embarrassing Leyin, Mo Xiaoyao leaned forward, smiled at Liu Min who was looking at him, and then leaned back in the chair and sat down again, waiting for the start of the so-called orientation meeting.
Leyin over there had already chatted with Liu Min, and the people on the other side of Mo Xiaoyao seemed to have friends of their own, so they didn't have the heart to get to know her more.
As for Jiang Yan, she was resting with her eyes closed, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, it's better not to talk to anyone, chatting or something, it's troublesome.
7 o'clock arrived soon, Su Wanfu stepped onto the theater stage in full view, then tapped on the microphone, and did something that every leader of the school should do after taking the stage - test the microphone.
"Hey Hey hey… "
The sound effect of the microphone in the theater is very good, and there are two large screens on both sides of the main stage, even if you sit in the last row, it will not affect the audio-visual enjoyment.
There is no nonsense in the opening remarks, Su Wanfu directly cut to the point: "Everyone, today, our big family welcomes a few new brothers and sisters, before receiving and assigning the tasks for the next day, let us warmly Applause to welcome them in."
Sparse applause rang out for a few seconds, and he didn't care about it as a way to save face for Su Wanfu. He still pointed to Mo Xiaoyao's side with a smile and said, "Would you please stand up and say hello to everyone?"
Liu Min was no longer a newcomer, Leyin could only stand up first, and waved to everyone after recovering, Jiang Yan stood up with nothing to do, looked back and sat back down.
Mo Xiaoyao followed suit, stood up and glanced back, she is not interested in getting to know others, and I believe that they are not interested in getting to know her either.
The same was true for the few people after that, they stood up and turned their heads one after another. Those who were more enthusiastic would wave like music, and more people would be like Jiang Yan and Mo Xiaoyao.
Mo Xiaoyao did some calculations. Including the three of them, there are a total of 24 newcomers in this batch. Among them were 5 females and 19 males. They had no children, but there was an old man who looked about 60 years old. In addition, there were 4 or 5 people who looked familiar, and seemed to come out of the same copy as her.
Jiang Yan also noticed the old man, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times. If they passed the dungeon like him, then this old man must not be underestimated—the weakness in physical strength will be made up by the mind.
The so-called orientation meeting, after introducing people, was almost halfway through. Su Wanfu said a few more things that anyone who read the manual would understand. Afterwards, the topic was cut to the key points that everyone cared about, and the daily tasks for the next day were assigned.
The daily tasks assigned by the system to earn gold coins are announced at the information desk at 7 o'clock every night. Anyone can use the ship card to claim it and choose it directly.
It was written like this in the manual, but Mo Xiaoyao understood now that he couldn't get it by himself. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This is absolutely true. The people on the boat have been divided into several factions, and Su Wanfu is the spokesperson they jointly selected.
He will first gather everyone together, and then ask a younger brother to bring a list of all the tasks from the information desk, project them on the big screen, and let people from each faction study by themselves, and finally go out one by one according to the ranking Pick it up at the Information Desk.
As for how to rank, it naturally depends on strength.
In addition to these factions, there are also lone ranger players, but most of them are left behind by others, and no faction wants it. Few mavericks form their own faction by their own strength.
According to what Su Wanfu said just now, since the newcomers don't have to pay the room fee for the first three days and are not in a hurry to receive the task, they can ask him for a list of factions and pick a suitable one to join the group. Of course, if you feel that you are strong enough, you can do it alone, but if you encounter trouble, naturally no one will help you.
After all, on this ship, only one's own cabin is absolutely safe, and fights may occur anywhere else. Beating people to death is not allowed by the rules, but beating them to paralysis, and then throwing them to a secluded place to fend for themselves, the rules don't matter.
Most of the leaders of the various factions have experienced a dungeon. Because the time flow in the dungeon is different, the people who come out come first and then come out, so the time to board the ship is different. And those who have no strength were directly transported to the ship when the doomsday came, and by chance, they carried something related to the doomsday cruise ship.
In other words, those who passed the dungeon test and boarded the ship all walked through the gangway, their physical fitness was strengthened, and they also received skill rewards after clearing the dungeon. And those who directly boarded the ship, what they were before the end, they are still what they are now.
Of course, Mo Xiaoyao still doesn't know so much now, she just vaguely guessed that some people on the ship have experienced dungeons, and some people haven't. The evidence is the 4-box bag rewarded by the dungeon, some people have it, and some people don't.
Mo Xiaoyao also thought about the possibility of different rewards due to different dungeons, but he felt that he would not be so selective. This kind of package is obviously very practical. If not, after entering the next dungeon, he will obviously eat a lot. Big loss.
"What do you think?" Jiang Yan suddenly turned his head towards Mo Xiaoyao, his eyes still fixed on the task list scrolling slowly one by one on the big screen, and asked softly, "Which faction do you want to join?"
"Not interested." Mo Xiaoyao replied, "I work alone. I have a phobia of strangers."
Jiang Yan chuckled: "What a coincidence, me too. Shall we form a team?"
Mo Xiaoyao pondered for a while, then reluctantly nodded: "Sign a non-interference agreement. You can't be my master, and I won't be yours. Individuals have complete autonomy in their actions, and they only agree when fighting for interests." foreign."
Jiang Yan's smile became brighter and brighter: "It's just what I want, so it's settled—do you want to bring the idiot over there?"
He raised his chin slightly, and clicked on Leyin. Mo Xiaoyao looked along and saw that Leyin was still talking to that Liu Min, and he was very excited dancing.
"I don't think he will follow. But you can try by asking."
Jiang Yan looked at her: "Why don't you ask?"
Mo Xiaoyao replied indifferently: "I have a phobia of strangers, so I can't casually strike up a conversation." After finishing speaking, after thinking about it, he felt that this might not be clear enough, so he added, "The ones around acquaintances are okay, but I don't like that one." people."
Jiang Yan didn't care about the truth of Mo Xiaoyao's words, anyway, he was close to Leyin, so he didn't care about asking this question. Turning his head, Jiang Yan gently poked Le Yin, who was chatting enthusiastically with Liu Min, with his elbow, and when he stopped talking and looked back curiously, he asked softly.
"Xiao Yao and I want to sign a non-interference team agreement, do you want to join?"
A look of embarrassment immediately appeared on Leyin's face, and he pointed to Liu Min behind him: "Minzi just invited me to join their faction, saying that the people inside are pretty good, and there is nothing to squeeze newcomers. It's powerful, and it can hold you back. You might as well join in, I heard from Minzi that it's not easy for a lone ranger to be on this boat."
Jiang Yan shook his head, with the same smile on his face: "I'm used to being comfortable, let's see and talk." After he finished speaking, he turned back to look at Mo Xiaoyao, without giving her any advice.
Mo Xiaoyao was very satisfied with Jiang Yan's attitude, facing Le Yin's questioning gaze, he shook his head and refused.
Le Yin wanted to persuade him, but Liu Min over there tugged at his sleeve, and he stopped talking, but the regret in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
"Let's go?" Jiang Yan asked for Mo Xiaoyao's opinion.
Mo Xiaoyao nodded: "Let's go."
It would be meaningless to stay any longer. She had just communicated with Jiang Yan about the daily tasks for those points, and neither of them wanted to claim them. First of all, they look down on those three melons and two dates. If they have that time, they might as well exercise and increase their strength. The second reason is that they are alone and lonely, not to mention that they can't get good tasks, and they are easy to get into trouble.
As for the points deducted from the room fee every day, the two of them didn't take it seriously. The initial 100 points were enough to get into the next instance. At that time, if you pass the customs smoothly, you will naturally bring back a large amount of points. If you can't pass the customs smoothly... you will die, why do you care about those points
The two left the theater, and after briefly discussing future plans on the way, under the witness of the system, they signed a mutual assistance treaty of non-interference and non-injury, and then acted separately.
Then, in the days before the arrival of Game Today, Mo Xiaoyao lived a regular life almost like an ascetic.
She cut her short hair neatly, equipped herself with some equipment, and then devoted her limited time to unlimited exercise. In the combination of work and rest, she steadily improved her physical fitness, and tried her best not to appear in critical situations. Game Over due to exhaustion all the time.
The days were so uneventful, until the eighth day when Mo Xiaoyao came to the boat.
After waking up in the morning, she saw a colorful foldable leaflet on the bedside table. On the upper left of the leaflet, nine letters were written in bright red font that was bleeding down.
