"I don't earn much, I tripled it, but I can eat three more meals." Xu Mo smiled innocently, responding to Witt's question.
"Brother is awesome!" Nolan cheered.
Afterwards, everyone waited for Xu Mo to open the door of 018's room, filed in, and started tonight's discussion.
Xu Mo didn't have much to say here, he just entered a casino, so he briefly explained the rules of the game and the characteristics of the people at the same table. Afterwards, Nolan recounted various experiences with Zuo Ci in the simulation center, and Zuo Ci occasionally added and nodded from time to time.
"The shattered glass wall that was hit by monsters in the game appeared in reality?" Witt exclaimed in surprise, "I must go and see it later!"
"For some reason, I think that simulation center is very dangerous." Zuo Ci put his chin on his hand and said thoughtfully, "If you really want to go, it's better to find someone to accompany you."
"Yes, it's so late today... You can go tomorrow." Nolan added.
"Okay, Qingkong, let's go together tomorrow? We are a team." Witt turned to look at Qingkong, with smiling eyes flashing, looking at her expectantly.
"Okay... after we've been to the meditation center?" Qingkong smiled awkwardly, not yet fully accustomed to his enthusiasm.
"Oh, yes, have you guys been to the meditation center? Is there anything interesting there?" Nolan also asked his idol with a look of expectation.
"A garden, a Zen room..."
"There is also a VIP card for the Brave Continent game." Before Qingkong finished speaking, Witt interjected ignorantly.
The room was silent for a few seconds. In the end, it was Zuo Ci who broke the silence first: "Brave Continent? That limited-number game produced and released by Shengyou Network? It is said that only those who have obtained a VIP card can exchange it for an activation code account to enter. But now VIP real cards are very rare, and most of the black market transactions are direct transactions of activation codes."
"You know this game too? What else do you know?" Qingkong asked him seriously with a dark face.
"Of course I know, this game is called a game of death in the safari hunter industry, and dozens of celebrities have fallen into it, including politicians, celebrities, scientists, big bosses of Fortune 500 companies, and famous investors. People, etc., are basically at the top of the pyramid. Because the identities involved are relatively sensitive, the public cannot know the specific list. There are no less than ten ghost hunters who went to the rescue for this reason. They are all hunter rankings. None of the top 20 masters has come out unscathed yet."
"Zuo Ci, how do you know so clearly? Who are you?" Qingkong couldn't help asking.
"Because I once studied under a safari hunter with a decent ranking." Zuo Ci responded lightly, then turned around and walked towards the door suddenly, "I'm tired, so I went back to my room to rest."
"Wait a minute... tell me a little more about the Brave Continent..." Before Qingkong could finish his request, Zuo Ci quickly walked out of the room door and disappeared from sight. It seemed that he was determined not to say more.
Feeling her frustration, Nolan walked over to her gently, and explained to Zuo Ci who had left suddenly: "Zuo Ci should be quite tired today, we were jumping up and down in that broken game in the simulation center, it was very frustrating, Shall we ask him about the Brave Continent tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, I will continue to help you find Lincoln. If I catch him, I will bring it to you. Then we will ask him about the origin of this VIP card." Witt comforted.
"Well, Qingkong, we can help you find out about the Brave Continent game, so don't worry." Xu Mo added.
"I'm fine, don't worry, it's really too late today, let's stop here for now." Qing Kong smiled at everyone, trying to show a happy expression, "Let's meet at the door of Xu Mo's room at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning , like a team, and then everyone assigns where to go to see how to follow up the clues seen today."
They all agreed to this plan, and everyone went back to their rooms.
However, the first night at this hunter training center is a sleepless night for the vast majority of hunter candidates.

The next day, as one of the few trainers who slept soundly, Xu Mo woke up early and rushed to the cafeteria to eat his first meal after coming to this training center, although he still chose " Cheap" vegetarian set meal worth 1000 RMB. Afterwards, he ran to the simulation center and walked to the room with the sphere structure. As Nolan and Zuo Ci said, he saw a mark on the glass wall that was smashed by the impact. Although he had been mentally prepared, Still can't help but feel a little shocked.
"You are here." A female voice came from behind.
"Yeah, I have to confirm the bizarre story that Nolan and Zuo Ci told." Xu Mo turned his head and smiled at Qing Kong.
"It seems that this bizarre story is not just a story." Qing Kong walked up to the crack in the glass wall and touched the trace of spider veins with his hand, "This wall should be broken if you hit it hard... Mo, tell me, are there those fish-headed monsters that Nolan mentioned on the other side of the wall?"
-
"The Simulation Center is temporarily closed for welcoming guests today. We are going to have a rest for the day. Please leave within 5 minutes." Lincoln's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them without any warning.
Qing Kong immediately turned around and looked at him in surprise: "Lincoln? I searched for you all afternoon yesterday but couldn't find you... Where are you staying?"
"Haha, I'm supposed to be a elusive person, please don't mind." Lincoln laughed twice, "When you really need help, I will show up eventually."
"So, are you showing up now, or is it because you have something to do with us?" Xu Mo looked at Lincoln.
"No, I just came here to inform that the simulation center is not welcoming visitors today. It seems that there are only two people who came here for a visit so early, so please go out within 5 minutes, is that okay?"
"Are you going to fix that crack?" Seeing him rushing away, Xu Mo became even more curious.
"Actually, I don't know why the business is closed today. I just received a notice from my superiors. Since the two of you have already known the arrangement, I believe they will leave soon, otherwise they may be locked up here and cannot get out. Well, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Wait a minute, Lincoln! - I found a VIP card for the Continent of the Brave, please tell me, is this training related to this game? This game card!" Just as Lincoln was about to turn around, Qing Kong asked loudly about his confusion.
"My dear Miss Qingkong, may I ask where you picked up this VIP card of the Brave Continent?"
"At the meditation center."
"Then, the answer you want must be the closest there."
After Lincoln finished speaking, he didn't give Qingkong a chance to ask questions, and quickly turned and left.
-
How could Qingkong give up so easily? She chased after him, until she saw Lincoln's figure turn around and disappear in the corridor—she then rushed out of the corridor, but there was no one on both sides of the corridor. The mysterious Lincoln was And so it disappeared again.
Xu Mo, who ran out following Qingkong's pace, knew the situation when he saw the empty corridor. He tried to go back to the simulation center room to check again, but at this time the door was closed tightly. It seems that the investigation work had to be put on hold temporarily up.
It was almost 10 o'clock in the morning, and the two walked back to the dormitory area to gather. As soon as they turned to the corridor of the dormitory room, Nolan and Witt appeared, and saw Nolan running towards them anxiously, saying in his mouth He said: "Brother, sister Qingkong! Zuo Ci is gone!"
"Missing? What is missing?" Xu Mo was a little surprised.
"I've knocked on the door of Zuo Ci's room three times, but no one responded." Nolan replied with a pout.
"It's not necessarily true that he may have wandered elsewhere, don't worry, there are still many places in this training center where people can hide." Xu Mo stroked her curly hair reassuringly.
"But he's not in the restaurant or the theater, I just went to see it." Nolan added.
"Not in the casino either. I saw a lot of people in the casino this morning, and it feels like most of them went to the casino to earn money for meals... that... I just went in and lost 1,000 yuan and came out." Witt was embarrassed Scratching his head.
"I'm not in the simulation center, Xu Mo and I just came out of there, and today the simulation center is closed for a day... However, Zuo Ci is such an adult and so smart, so he should be fine, maybe he will show up later Already." Clear Sky comforted.
"Isn't there a meditation center that we haven't visited yet? Let's go there together to see if Zuo Ci is there, and then discuss today's arrangements together?" Xu Mo suggested.
The four immediately reached an agreement and walked towards the meditation center.

Once again, Qingkong patted the light seal gate with the eight trigrams pattern with his palm, and when he stepped into the gate of the meditation center, what he saw was the peaceful scene of the Japanese-style Zen garden, but there was a coughing sound from the main house directly opposite. Qingkong and Witt looked at each other in surprise, then walked quickly into the house. As soon as I entered the house, I saw—
An old monk with wrinkled face, hunched back, leaning on a cane in one hand, was adding some spices into the censer tremblingly with the other hand. Hearing the sound of hasty footsteps approaching behind him, he turned around slowly, met everyone's gaze, put one hand up in front of his face, performed a Buddhist salute, and said in a trembling voice: "Amitabha."
A Buddhist monk appeared in the environment of the Zhouyi gossip-shaped gate and the Japanese-style Zen monastery? … Xu Mo, who had a little understanding of religion, only felt confused for a while, but he still followed everyone, put his hands together, and paid a Buddhist salute in return.
Then, before he could speak, Qing Kong couldn't wait to start asking—
"Master, do you know the game Brave Continent?"
