Chapter 272: Girl, Do You Know Amway
Li Mengnan politely echoed and smiled, the current selection range of Dream Walkers is still dominated by death row prisoners and felons, although it can't be said to be all, but at least the vast majority of them are indeed the image of strong men with five big and three thick.
This pick-up YMCA is so curious, it is estimated that it should be a newcomer who has just come into contact with this area.
This self-proclaimed young man who picks up the station is also a master who can't be idle, although he didn't get a response from Li Mengnan, he still said to himself: "But I'm not the only one in charge of picking up the station, according to another colleague of mine, he has picked up a lot of kind-looking dreamwalkers like you, and there is a little girl who looks quite cute." ”
There are still female dreamwalker newcomers?
Li Mengnan once heard Euonymus mention that due to the innate shortcomings of psychology and physiology, the chance of female volunteers being able to pass the test safely is extremely low, often only one-tenth of that of male volunteers, but women who are able to pass the test and awaken as dreamwalkers often burst out with potential far beyond that of male volunteers.
Don't underestimate any female dreamwalker - that's the special advice of Euonymus before he leaves.
In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, the meeting place was not located at the headquarters of the HX Research Institute in the city, but at a branch base far away from the city.
In terms of geographical location, this place no longer belongs to the capital, and should be regarded as within the territory of Ji Province.
More than 90 percent of the main body of this headquarters is embedded in the belly of a small mountain, and only a small white building disguised as a weather station is hidden among the surrounding green mountains and green waters.
Although he has the identity of the Dream Walker of the HX Research Institute, Li Mengnan is still restricted from the activity area here, and unfortunately he can't get a full view of the entire sub-base.
But even in the Yu Provincial Branch where he was located, he couldn't completely go through the interior...... At the moment, his authority is still too low.
The itinerary at the headquarters of the HX Institute was more efficient than Li Mengnan expected, and after lunchtime that day, the meeting notice and the route map of the meeting place appeared on the LCD prompt board in the personal lounge.
Li Mengnan had suffered from the underground passage here, which can be called nine twists and eighteen bends, and directly took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the road map on the prompt board, and then quickly found the conference room according to the route.
Underground buildings are often designed to be space-saving, and this meeting room is a little compact in size, but the use of a lot of hidden lighting and mirrored materials greatly reduces the feeling of being in it.
Li Mengnan was one of the first people to arrive, and in the face of the large number of empty seats in the room, he chose a most inconspicuous position in the corner, sat down quietly, and began to observe the other dreamwalkers who walked into the conference room one after another.
Except for the female dreamwalker who had not yet been seen, Li Mengnan's sight was completely full of male dreamwalkers, mostly in the age group of twenty to forty, and most of them were burly.
Since they are all serious offenders, most of the unruly banditry in the bones of these dream walkers has not yet receded, and after experiencing the life and death test in the Gaia world, the killing intent on their bodies is almost about to form a substance, although there are only a dozen people sitting there carelessly, but they are forced to sit out of the momentum of thousands of troops.
It's no wonder that Xiao He, who was in charge of picking up the station, was so surprised when he saw him, a dreamwalker like him, who was almost the same as ordinary people, was indeed different compared to these domineering dreamwalkers in front of him.
But he's not alone.
For example, the two dreamwalkers who walked in again at the gate.
These are two young people who look the same age as Li Mengnan, their appearances are extremely complementary, one has a fat head and big ears, and the other is skinny, although each is expressionless, but it can be seen from their cramped and restless eyes that they are forcibly calming, and it is obvious that the ruthless characters in the room have caused considerable psychological pressure on the two of them.
There are still a lot of vacant seats in the conference room at the moment, but more or less there will be a fierce looking strong man next to them, the fat and thin two seem to be very scruples about these people, and they didn't dare to step forward after standing at the door for a long time, until they saw Li Mengnan sitting in the corner, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they came up in three steps and two steps.
"Hey, buddy, don't mind if we sit here?"
In addition to some strange things that can be called "talented", fat people generally have their own "affinity aura", and the fat man who came up to talk to Li Mengnan also inherited this hidden attribute, with a pair of black-rimmed round glasses, and his smile is extremely pleasing.
"You can sit down, there's no one anyway." Li Mengnan nodded.
The fat man thanked him, took the skinny brother to sit on Li Mengnan's right hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Li Mengnan, and introduced himself: "My name is Guo Yimin, and the brother next to me is called Huang Hao...... Brother, your name? ”
"Li Mengnan, just like you, is also a student." Li Mengnan lit the cigarette with the torch handed by the fat man, and said with a faint smile.
"Macho? Good name! ”
Not surprisingly, the fat man also misread Li Mengnan's name, but Li Mengnan didn't bother to explain, just smiled casually and asked, "How did you become volunteers?" ”
The fat man Guo Yimin knew that Li Mengnan was just asking a euphemism, but he was actually asking them for what crime they were imprisoned for, so he couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile: "Brother, do you think I look like the kind of person who can be a traitor?" I was just defending myself at the time, but unfortunately I was unlucky, the rich second generation had a bad life, and I fell and knocked myself to death...... As a result, the father of the rich second generation is like being dug up his ancestral grave, and he has to kill me. ”
Seeing Li Mengnan looking at Huang Hao next to him, Guo Yimin said on his behalf: "This Huang brother doesn't like to talk much, I'll say it for him......
Speaking of which, what happened to him was also quite tragic, he went to the girls' dormitory to find her girlfriend, but when he pushed the door, he saw a famous rich and handsome man in the department chirping on her girlfriend's bed.
As soon as his head was hot, he picked up a fruit knife on the table and stabbed Gao Fushuai, only to hear the girl on the bed scream in fright, only to find out that it was not her girlfriend at all, but Gao Fushuai's girlfriend in the same dormitory as her girlfriend, and the two just borrowed his girlfriend's bed. ”
The tall and thin boy named Huang Hao suddenly said in a cold tone: "I don't regret it, that boy deserves to die, after I was imprisoned, a friend of mine sued me, in fact, my girlfriend was once **** by that boy in the name of going to KTV to sing, but she didn't dare to sue me." ”
"Brother, why haven't you told me about this? But then again, flies don't bite seamless eggs, if you want to say that your girlfriend doesn't have any idea about that rich and handsome, I don't believe it when she is killed, so **** still needs to be verified...... Well, things have passed, and when our brother can come out of the legendary land alive this time, with our net worth, do you care about her being such a green tea? ”
Guo Yimin's fleshy thick palm patted Huang Hao's shoulder, as if he had been friends for many years.
"You two are from the same place?" Li Mengnan asked.
"No, we belong to two institutes." Guo Yimin threw away the cigarette butt and held up his glasses, and said with some surprise: "Didn't your research institute tell you?" This time, there is only one mission quota for each province's research institute, mainly to prevent all members from falling into the legendary land, causing a fault between the Dream Walker newcomers. ”
"Oh, I see...... I really don't know about this, because I'm the only one of the recent dreamwalker newcomers in our 21 Institute. ”
Guo Yimin's face suddenly appeared at this time, patted Li Mengnan's shoulder familiarly, sighed and comforted: "It seems that you are also cannon fodder thrown out by the research institute, we can be regarded as difficult brothers, and when we enter the legendary land, let's support each other more." ”
Cannon fodder?
Guo Yimin's words made Li Mengnan a little surprised, but then he understood what was going on.
Although this is a rare high-yield mission, it is also accompanied by extremely high risks, and no research institute will be willing to throw potential dreamwalker newcomers into this bottomless pit, and only those dreamwalker newcomers who are at the bottom of the list and are not welcomed in the research institute can come.
This is a big gamble for Guo Yimin, Huang Hao and others, if they win, they will be able to soar into the sky, stand out among the dreamwalkers of the same year, and rely on the power of legendary objects to completely trample those high-potential companions who were once optimistic.
If you lose your bet...... In fact, it's nothing, for dreamwalkers who perform high-risk missions, if they don't have the strength, they will die in future missions sooner or later.
At this moment, a beautiful pink figure suddenly appeared at the door, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the entire conference room.
This is a cute girl who is fifteen or sixteen years old, with heavy makeup like SD dolls painted on her face, a pair of crimson contact lenses under her long curly golden hair, and a Lolita skirt with a pink background and white lace that looks extremely petite and exquisite.
The presence of the girl added a touch of color to the conference room, which was completely occupied by male creatures, and no one would refuse such a beautiful and cute little girl to sit beside her, and almost everyone unanimously made a move to move their seats, motioning for the girl to sit next to them.
However, after observing the circle, the girl still walked straight to the corner of the back row, lifted the corner of her skirt and sat on Li Mengnan's left hand side in a rather ladylike sitting position, took out a small makeup case and began to touch up her makeup.
"Hey, beauty, my name is Guo Yimin, can you get to know each other?" The fat man poked his head out and talked to the girl through Li Mengnan.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in men, especially fat people." The girl brushed her eyelashes carefully, not bothering to look at Guo Yimin.
The fat man's hand was stiffly raised in mid-air, neither stretched nor contracted, extremely embarrassing.
The girl smeared her lip gloss and pursed her lips slightly, the corners of her mouth slightly curled with disdain: "But I can tell you the name, you can call me padio, sooner or later one day all of you will look up to this name." ”
"Good secondary two speech."
Li Mengnan couldn't help grinning, even a cheeky person like him couldn't stand it anymore.
Li Mengnan didn't deliberately lower her voice, the girl turned her face to look at him in surprise, raised her eyebrows and sneered arrogantly: "Very good, you are the first person who dares to question me, I appreciate your courage, and I can forgive you for your confrontation - young man, do you want to be my subordinate?" ”
"Girl, you...... Know Amway? Li Mengnan thought about it and said with a serious expression.
Poof!
The fat man who was eavesdropping on the side laughed on the spot, and he was so impressed by Li Mengnan's counterattack that he could call a miracle.
The girl was not angry, she still just sneered disdainfully, put away the makeup case and ignored the others.
In a short time, all the dreamwalkers had arrived, and the door was closed, and a man in his forties who looked like a researcher announced the start of the meeting.
"The significance of this mission to you, I believe that your institute has reiterated it to you many times, and I will not repeat it here, I will only say a few important points."
"According to the headquarters' analysis of the types of ghosts that appear in the periphery, combined with local Romanian legends, it is preliminarily inferred that it should be related to the legendary vampire ancestor Dracula."
The crowd in the conference room couldn't help but be a little commotion.
The vampire Dracula is simply so famous, almost every film and television work involving vampires will appear in this figure that is said to be one of the first vampires, and the name Dracula has almost become synonymous with the creature vampire, and it can even be said that it is the most famous ghost in the world, there is no one.
No one thought that this mission would face this legendary monster cursed by God and immortal.
"Quiet!" The researcher-like man on the stage knocked on the table and forcibly interrupted the discussion of everyone in the audience, "Legends and myths are two different things, and it is impossible for you to face that almost immortal monster in the legendary land...... Remember, he's just a ghost, just a slightly more powerful ghost with the image and abilities of the legendary Dracula, and with your power, you can kill him. ”
"It's easy to say, if it's really that easy to kill, you still need to dispatch so many people?"
I don't know who in the audience muttered in a low voice, but it didn't cause the others to echo it, after all, everyone here had already understood from the moment they signed the agreement with the HX Research Institute that their lives would no longer belong to them.
"Dracula is supposed to be British, right? How is it legendary that it will be in Romania? One of the dreamwalkers in the audience raised his doubts.
"It's terrible to be uneducated."
The pink Lolita girl beside Li Mengnan slowly painted her nails, and once again started to mock with a poisonous tongue.
"Vlad. Zebes. Dracula was born in 1431 in the city of Sikisharat, present-day Romania. His father, Vlad. Tagul was then accepted as a member of the 'Knights of the Dragons' and was appointed by the King of Chichmon in Romania as the Governor of Sichuan Sovania.
According to the Romanian analysis, 'Tagul' comes from the meaning of 'dragon', which means to be included in the honor of being a dragon knight, and 'Dracula' is 'son of the dragon'.
It was later influenced by the Saxon language of southern Germany in Romania that the name 'Dracula' took on the meaning of 'demon'.
The impression that Dracula is British is entirely because of the earliest vampire novel "Vampire Count Dracula", which is actually the same as us Chinese people always think that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the official history of the Three Kingdoms. ”
"I'll go, humanoid Baidu? It's faster than I can check my mobile phone......" The fat man Guo Yimin couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he compared the information he searched for on the Internet on his mobile phone.
The researcher man on the stage nodded approvingly, and after pressing the remote control, the projector cast clear images on the large screen behind him.
"I believe you should know that the greatest wealth of each legendary place is the legendary objects in it, but you may not know that legendary objects do not directly feel the energy contained in them like chaos crystals, and some legendary objects will even be as inconspicuous as an ordinary stone on the side of the road......"
"So, how are we going to tell which of the legendary lands is the legendary thing?" A dreamwalker asked.
"Maybe it takes a bit of eyesight and a little bit of luck." The researcher man spread his five fingers and pressed them on the big screen behind him, and said: "These pictures you see now are the simulated images of legends made by us through the analysis of historical materials and legends by historians and religious scholars from major universities...... When you see something similar to the one in these pictures, you can consider bringing it back. ”
"What if I bring it back and find out that it's not a legendary object?"
"As I said, it takes a bit of luck in addition to eyesight." The researcher man laughed, "You can think of it as a gamble, some people will have a lot of money, and some people will lose all their money." Thankfully, this gamble is equally fair for everyone...... Even dreamwalkers from other countries are the same. ”
"Is there a relatively accurate way to judge a legendary object?" Obviously, there are still people who are unwilling to bet on the ethereal odds of character.
"Yes!"
The researcher man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and gave a positive answer, and everyone in the audience immediately held their breath and pricked up their ears, for fear of missing a word.
"According to the experience of other dreamwalkers who have performed similar missions in the past, it is often said that there are unique high-level ghosts in the land, and the weapons and equipment they use, or some objects in the place of residence, are very likely to be legendary objects."
This is probably the easiest sentence that the researcher man said - the only high-level ghost, simply put, is it equivalent to the **oss in the legendary land!
If you don't blast some good equipment to fight the boss, then this task will be too bad......
After the researcher man said this, the dreamwalkers in the audience were excited, and they exchanged their heads and ears, as if they had already slaughtered all sides in the legendary land.
However, the pink Lolita girl beside Li Mengnan sneered coldly with disdain on her face again, and said, "Even if you can kill it, can you get it?" ”
