(5) The road to hunters (8)
"I didn't make much money, I've doubled it, I just could eat three more meals." Xu Mo smiled silly and responded to Witt's question.
"Brother is great!" Nolan cheered.
Afterwards, everyone waited for Xu Mo to open the door of 018, entered one after another, and started tonight's discussion meeting.
Xu Mo didn't say much. He went to a casino and simply explained the rules of the game and the characteristics of several people at the deskmate. Afterwards, Nolan talked about his experiences with Zuo Ci in the simulation center. Zuo Ci occasionally added and nodded from time to time.
"Did the glass wall shattering hit by monsters in the game appear in reality?" Witt shouted in surprise, "I will definitely go and see it later!"
"For some reason, I think that simulation center is dangerous." Zuo Ci said thoughtfully with one hand against his chin, "If you really want to go, it's better to find someone to join us."
"Yes, it's already so late today...you go again tomorrow." Nolan added.
"Okay, Qingkong, let's go together tomorrow? We are in the same team." Witt turned to look at Qingkong, flashing his smiling eyes, looking at her with anticipation.
"Yes... after we have been to the meditation center?" Qingkong was not completely used to his enthusiasm and smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, yes, have you been to the meditation center? Is there anything fun there?" Nolan also looked at his idol with anticipation and asked.
“A garden, a Zen room…”
"There is also a VIP card for the Brave Continental game." Before Qingkong could finish speaking, Witt interrupted without knowing the situation.
The room was silent for a few seconds, and in the end, Zuo Ci took the lead in breaking the silence: "The Brave Continent? The limited number game produced and issued by Shengyou Network? It is said that only those who get the VIP card can exchange it for the activation code account to enter, but now VIP real cards are very rare, and most black market transactions are directly trading activation codes."
"Do you know this game too? What else do you know?" Qingkong lowered his face and asked him seriously.
"Of course I know that this game is called the Death Game in the Fantasy Safari industry. There are dozens of celebrities who are trapped in it. Among them, there are politicians, celebrities, scientists, bosses of the Fortune 500 companies in the world, famous investors, etc. They are basically either gold or expensive at the top of the pyramid. Because the identity involved is relatively sensitive, the public cannot know the specific list. There are no less than ten fantasy Safari who went to rescue this time. They are all masters in the top 20 hunters. None of them has escaped completely.
"Zuo Ci, how do you know so clearly? Who are you?" Qingkong couldn't help but ask.
"Because I once studied as a fantasy hunter who is quite decently ranked." Zuo Ci responded lightly, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the door, "I'm tired, I'm back to my room to rest."
"Wait a minute... say something more about the Brave Continent..." Before Qingkong's request was finished, Zuo Ci had quickly walked out of the room door and disappeared from sight. Seeing that he looked determined not to say more.
Feeling her frustration, Nolan gently walked over to her and explained to Zuo Ci who suddenly left: "Zuo Ci should be very tired today. We jumped up and down in the broken game in the simulation center, which was very sad. Let's ask him about the Brave Continent tomorrow?"
"I will continue to help you find Lincoln tomorrow. If you catch him, you will be brought over. Then we will ask him about the origin of this VIP card." Witt comforted.
"Well, Qingkong, we can help you check the game about the Brave Continental Games, don't worry first." Xumo added.
"I'm fine, don't worry, it's really too late today, let's get here for the time being." Qingkong smiled at everyone, trying hard to show a happy expression, "We'll gather at the door of Xumo's room at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, like a team, and then everyone will assign their destinations to see how to follow up on the clues we saw 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 got up early and rushed to the cafeteria for his first meal after coming to the training center. Although he carefully chose the "cheap" vegetarian package worth 1,000 yuan. Then, he ran to the simulation center and walked to the room with the sphere structure. As Nolan and Zuo Ci said, he saw a trace of being smashed and broken on the glass wall. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still a little shocked.
"You are indeed here." A female voice came from behind.
"Yes, I have to confirm the bizarre story Nolan and Zuo Ci said." Xu Mo turned his head and smiled in Qingkong.
"It seems that this bizarre story is not just a story." Qingkong walked to the cracks in the glass wall and touched the traces of the spider with his hand. "If this wall hits hard, it should be broken... Xumo, do you think, will there be those fish-headed monsters Nolan mentioned on the other side of the wall?"
-
"The simulation center will suspend welcoming guests today and repair it for a day. Please leave within 5 minutes." Lincoln's voice suddenly came from behind without any warning.
Qingkong immediately turned around and looked at him in surprise: "Lincoln? I looked for you yesterday but couldn't find you for an afternoon... Where were you?"
"Haha, I should be an elusive person, please don't care." Lincoln laughed, "I will eventually show up when you really need help."
"So, are you showing up now because you have something to ask us?" Xu Mo looked at Lincoln.
"No, I just came to inform the simulation center that it would not welcome guests today. It seems that there were only two people who came here so early to visit, so please go out in 5 minutes, okay?"
"Are you going to repair the crack?" Seeing that he couldn't wait to drive people away, Xu Mo became more and more curious.
"Actually, I don't know why I'm going to close today. I just received a notice from my superiors. Since the two of you have known the arrangements, I believe you will leave soon, otherwise you may be locked up here and unable to get out. Okay, if nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Wait, Lincoln! - I found a VIP card from the Brave Continent. Please tell me if this training has something to do with this game? What is the connection? I believe I will never pick up this game card for no reason!" When Lincoln was about to turn around, Qingkong asked loudly about his confusion.
"My dear swimmer, where did you pick up this VIP card from the Brave Continent?"
“In the meditation center.”
"Then, the answer you want must be closest to that."
After Lincoln said this, he no longer gave Qingkong a chance to ask questions and quickly turned around and left.
-
Qingkong did not give up so easily. She chased after Lincoln, until she turned around and disappeared at the entrance of the corridor - she then rushed out of the entrance of the corridor, but the sides of the corridor were empty, and the mysterious Lincoln disappeared again.
Xu Mo, who ran out in the steps of clear sky, saw the empty corridor and knew the situation. He tried to walk back to the simulation center room and check it, but the door was closed at this time. It seemed that the investigation had to be put on hold for the time being.
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 Wit appeared, and saw Nolan running towards them with a anxious look on their faces, saying, "Brother, Master Qingkong! Zuo Ci is gone!"
"Absent? What does it mean to be absent?" Xu Mo was a little surprised.
"I have knocked on Zuoci's room door three times but no one responded." Nolan pouted and replied.
"He might not be able to wander around other places. Don't worry, there are still many places to hide in this training center." Xu Mo touched her curly hair comfortably.
"But he is not in the restaurant or theater either, I just went to see it," Nolan added.
"I'm not in the casino. I saw a lot of people in the casino this morning. I felt that most of the people went to the casino to earn meals... That... I just went in and lost 1,000 yuan." Witt scratched his head embarrassedly.
"I'm not at the simulation center. Xu Mo and I just came out there, and the simulation center has stopped operating for a day today... However, Zuo Ci is so adult and so smart, so there should be no problem. Maybe he will appear later." Qingkong comforted.
"Are you still not looking for a meditation center? Let's go and see if Zuo Ci is there, and then discuss today's arrangements together?" Xu Mo suggested.
The four of them immediately reached an agreement and walked towards the meditation center.

Qingkong once again slapped the door of the light seal with his palms with his palms. When he stepped into the gate of the meditation center, he saw the same Japanese-style Zen temple. However, a coughing sound came from the main house opposite. Qingkong and Wit looked at each other in surprise, and then quickly walked into the house. As soon as they entered the house, they saw-
An old monk with wrinkles was hunched over, leaning on a crutch in one hand, and adding some spices to the incense burner with the other hand. He heard the hurried footsteps behind him approaching, slowly turned around, met everyone's sight, raised his hands up in front of his face, performed a Buddha ceremony, and said in a trembling voice: "Amitabha."
A Buddhist monk appeared in the shape of the Bagua of Zhouyi and the Japanese Zen temple. Xu Mo, who had a little understanding of religion, felt a mess, but he still followed everyone, put his hands together and performed a Buddhist ceremony to return the respect.
Then, before he could speak, Qingkong could not wait to start asking questions—
"Master, do you know the game of Brave Continent?"
