"Okay." Li Xin said, nodding lightly.
Xu Zhen showed a satisfied and happy smile.
"Then you... pack up your things?" He asked inquisitively, "Do you want to help—Liu?"
"Boss here." Assistant Liu responded quickly and walked over quickly.
"Xiao Yuan! Take, put away the ninth brother's things." Before he could say anything, Zhang Chao, who was standing at the door, said loudly, his voice tense, as if he was suppressing something.
"(●—●) Okay."
Li Xin followed Madoka through the door. She took a light-gold backpack from the shelf, took out everything in the bedside drawer and put it in the innermost compartment of the backpack, and brought the sensor at the head of the bed and put it in the backpack as well.
After thinking about it, she took out the ID card again.
The face of the card is gray and white, and it simply reflects Ms. Du's photo, name and date of birth. After too much time, the light color above is a little worn.
Xiao Yuan moved quickly, and when Li Xin turned around with her bag on her back, she had already packed her clothes, shoes and other supplies in the box.
"Piri, you're leaving (●︿●)"
Madoka raised her head and asked her with her soft loli voice.
Li Xin touched its round head, took the box and walked out.
As soon as they arrived in the living room, bodyguards immediately came up to pick up the boxes and bags.
Li Xin raised her hand and slightly pressed the backpack strap on her shoulders, rejecting the bodyguard's move to help carry the bag.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for taking care of Xiaoli these days." Xu Zhen walked up and shook hands with Zhang Chao in person.
As soon as he said this, Assistant Liu next to him smiled and handed a high-quality and delicate bag and a business card into Zhang Chao's hand, saying, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang. A small thank you is not enough. Respect, this is my business card, if you need anything, please let me know Mr. Zhang."
Li Xin walked out the door behind Xu Yan, and when she was standing by the door, she glanced back as if inadvertently.
Those eyes were as indifferent as always, clean and pure, and they were instantly separated from Zhang Chao's stunned eyes.
she went out.
The door closed with a click.
Zhang Chao was still standing in front of his room door. After a while, he slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at the empty and quiet living room for a long time.
"Madoka?" he called out in a low voice.
The little robot came over in response: "(●—●)?"
…
On this trip, Xu Zhen brought a total of two cars, which were parked outside the community where Zhang Chao's house was located.
This car is naturally not the kind of "wheel car" that Zhang Chao opened, but a "small car" similar to the shape of the pre-apocalypse.
There were almost no pedestrians on the street in the early morning, and the street lights reflected beautifully the smooth and streamlined outlines of the two silver-gray cars on the side of the road.
Assistant Liu quickly stepped forward and opened the door.
Xu Zhen walked to the door of the back seat, looked at Li Xin, smiled and walked away: "Please."
Li Xin went in, Xu Zhen was about to step his legs, and as soon as the light dimmed, a tall figure suddenly inserted in front of him.
Xu Yan got into the car with an expressionless face, and didn't even glance at his father, who was slightly stunned at the door of the station.
Xu Zhen: "..."
Xu Zhen closed the car door and sat in front, glanced at the rearview mirror, thoughtful.
Two people sitting in the back seat are very relaxed, even if one of them is a tall man like Xu Yan, who is in his early nineties.
But Comrade Xu Yan obviously did not think so.
He sat with his back straight and didn't say a word, but the movements of those black shuttles' eyes staring at people from the corner of the eye were full of seven or eight times.
The vehicle drives smoothly, and the scenery outside the window flies by.
Li Xin suddenly said, a soft voice lightly breaking the silence of the car: "What do you think I am doing?"
She looked at Xu Yan with doubts in her eyes.
Xu Yan: "..."
"Cough." Xu Zhen in the front seat sneered.
Xu Yan's face turned dark after this laugh, he turned his eyes to meet Li Xin's, and immediately turned away hastily, looking straight ahead.
"...Nothing." He said solemnly.
The speed of the suspension car is very fast, and it took an hour or two to reach the capital where the Xu family is located from the small border town.
In the distance, two cars approached one after another, and the iron-colored gate in front of them silently separated to both sides.
"Welcome home." When the vehicle passed the threshold, a smiling female voice rang in her ears.
Li Xin moved, her eyes suddenly looked out the window.
"Did you hear it? My wife's voice." Xu Zhen smiled, with some emotion on his face: "I cut it out from the audio she left a few years ago."
The car crossed a green lawn and parked on the platform outside the building.
In front of it stands a compound three-storey house, mainly in ink blue and white. The architectural style looks spacious and cold, with sharp edges and corners from the ridge to the layered lines.
Assistant Liu and the bodyguards left, leaving Xu Zhen, Xu Yan and his son and Li Xin to stand downstairs.
A silver-white robot with human-like limbs strode out to greet him and took Li Xin's box from Xu Yan's hand.
"Welcome master and little master home." The robot said, the voice was an ordinary, somewhat mechanical baritone.
"Yinzi, this is Li Xin, and she will be the little master in the future." Xu Zhen said as he walked into the house, "Prepare a room for her."
"Understood, master."
Li Xin felt the robot named Yinzi turn his head, and his glass-like eyes "gave" him for a few seconds.
"Yinzi is the housekeeper robot at home, you can just tell it if you need anything." Xu Zhen said warmly, looking at Li Xin inquiringly: "Do you want to rest first or have... breakfast?"
"I'm not hungry." Li Xin shook her head slightly.
Entering the door, the first floor is the hall.
The interior of the Xu family's house is the same as its exterior, with an open and cold style. The large turquoise floor, the high ceiling, the white diamond chandelier, and the black leather sofa. Except for a pot of lush green trees at the connection between the balcony and the hall, there is almost no other decoration in the house.
Not far away, a sweeping robot was working silently.
"It's almost dawn. Rest early." Xu Zhen said, patting Li Xin's shoulder lightly.
"Please come with me." Yin Zi, the smart housekeeper, walked to Li Xin's side, bowed slightly, and led her to the second floor.
"This is your room, and I hope you are satisfied. No matter what you need, there is an instruction sheet at the head of the bed, and silver is always at your service."
"Yeah." Li Xin nodded and turned to close the door.
The room that the Xu family prepared for her was naturally much larger and better than that of Zhang Chao's family.
The floor is covered with a soft brown carpet. In addition to the wide and soft off-white bed, the room has a solid wood wardrobe several meters long, tables and chairs, a sofa, and a freezer.
Several steps lead to the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows and the balcony. There is also a piano in front of the window, and the balcony is full of bright and beautiful potted plants. One side of the house is connected to a clean and well-equipped bathroom, and the other side has an office-like compartment with bookcases, projectors, etc.
I have to say that in this one bedroom alone, Mianji is probably bigger than Zhang Chao's entire house.
The smart housekeeper obviously prepared everything very well, including clothes, shoes and toiletries.
Li Xin put her backpack on the bed, took a shower and fell asleep.
…
The next day, Li Xin connected to the sensor at 9:00 in the morning, and was pulled into the team by Jiuzhimei as soon as she went online.
"Ninth brother, sister-in-law, big brother, let's play with the ball." As soon as he entered the team, Jiu Zhimei's grinning voice whispered in his ear.
"What?" Li Xin asked.
"Just yesterday, Silent Drucker, we haven't passed the first team and the second team." Jiuzhimei laughed, "It makes us little highland barley anxious."
"...you talk too much." Highland barley boiled wine gritted his teeth, and whispered in a sullen voice: "That, big... big..."
He is not as shameless and skinless as Jiuzhimei, and he was embarrassed to call out the words "sister-in-law".
Li Xin said: "Just call me Jiuqi."
"Nine... Brother Ninth." The barley cooking wine became even quieter, and he cautiously said, "Then what, Brother Ninth, are you here? - You can take whatever you want, and I can still pay you for your appearance?"
"Hahahaha." Jiuzhimei couldn't help laughing.
Li Xin didn't speak any more and pressed to return to the team.
For the next two or three weeks, Li Xin followed the first and second teams to push this book.
Simple finished pushing the elite, elite finished pushing the nightmare.
It took until the second month that Nightmare difficulty finally got its first pass. And the plot of this dungeon was finally fully explored in the cries of the players kneeling again and again.
"The Sinking Drucker".
As the name of the copy, Drucker is actually a clan name. This race has lived in this sea for generations, in a hidden cave—that is, the cave where the copy is located.
This race is the protagonist on the mural on the cave wall. The Druk people are short and small, with large pieces of colorful fins on their waists and arms.
Occasionally, these fins proved to be an advanced material with wide applicability and a high price.
From then on, the nightmare of the Druckers followed.
Not only the surrounding bereaved family members are eyeing, trying to capture them. More because of an accidental coincidence, the cave where the Druk people lived for generations was discovered by another bereaved family called "Chang Dolphin".
So, in a well-prepared attack, all the Druk people were captured.
The fins of all the clansmen have been stripped off, and the long dolphin clan also kept the Druks who did not die in one place, in the hope that they would grow new fins.
Hank, the Druck patriarch of this generation. He found an opportunity and tried his best to escape.
For the caves where they have lived for generations, the Druckers naturally have certain organs with special purposes. As the patriarch, Hank knew that there was a way to directly collapse the entire cave, and he could perish with the long dolphins.
But Hank, who escaped, didn't do it for the first time. He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping to save the clan.
But you can't do it with your own power.
So there is the scene of "Rescue Treasure Finder and Treasure" at the beginning of the copy.
Hank first used the mechanism to separate the two leaders of the Long Dolphin Clan. He squatted for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to lock one of the leaders and some of the Changdu people in the "conference room" - that is, the stone gate where the players encountered the first boss.
But the stone gate is not a precious item, and the time that can lock up the leader of the dolphin is limited.
Hank then planned to introduce the adventurers in the suit, and let these adventurers stumble on a leader for him, and he himself took the opportunity to rescue the clan.
