Chapter 288: Comrades-in-Arms in Affliction
At 6:55, Mo Xiaoyao, who had eaten, appeared in the small theater on time, and from the door, the seats on this floor were almost full. Occasionally, there will be an empty seat in the middle of a certain floor, and she can't tell whether it is a vacuum position, or if the people around her uphold the good Chinese tradition and occupy it for relatives and friends.
Just as she was hesitating to think about whether to go upstairs to take a look, a familiar greeting came from the front, and following the voice, Mo Xiaoyao saw Leyin waving her arms there, beckoning her to come to the front.
Okay, just have a place.
Mo Xiaoyao walked towards Leyin, and at the same time looked at the people in the theater, almost all of them were as black and yellow-skinned as her, and there were occasionally a few dialects floating in her ears, but at least they were within the scope of cognition, not like foreign words.
The place where Le Yin sat was in the front row, on his left was Jiang Yan, 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-arms in the same adversity. ”
Seeing Liu Min stand up to shake hands with him, Mo Xiaoyao took half a step back, then nodded to Liu Min, and slid to Jiang Yan's side with a stride and sat next to him.
Liu Min was a little embarrassed, the expression on her face was not so good-looking, and Le Yin hurriedly played the round: "Minzi, don't mind, Xiaoyao's sister is good anywhere, but she is too shy." ”
didn't embarrass Leyin, Mo Xiaoyao leaned over, smiled at Liu Min who was looking at him, and then leaned back in the chair and sat down, waiting for the so-called orientation to begin.
Over there, Le Yin had already chatted with Liu Min, and the people on Mo Xiaoyao's other side seemed to have their own friends, and they didn't have the heart to know her more.
And Jiang Yan was closing her eyes to recuperate, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, or no one should care about anyone's good, chatting or something, the trouble is dead.
7 o'clock soon arrived, Su Wanfu appeared on the theater stage in full view of everyone, and then knocked on the microphone and did what every leader of the school would do after taking the stage - test the microphone.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
The microphone in the theater has a good acoustic, and there are two large screens on each side of the main stage, so even if you sit in the last row, it will not affect the audio-visual enjoyment.
There was no nonsense in the opening remarks, Su Wanfu directly cut to the topic: "Everyone, today, our big family has welcomed several new brothers and sisters, before receiving and assigning the next day's tasks, let us welcome them to join us with warm applause." ”
The sparse applause rang out for a few seconds, which was considered to have given Su Wanfu face, but he didn't care, and still pointed at Mo Xiaoyao and their side with a smile and said, "Can a few of you stand up and say hello to everyone?" ”
Liu Min is no longer a newcomer, Le Yin can only stand up first, come back to his senses and wave his hand to everyone, and then Jiang Yan has no choice but to stand up, look back and sit back again.
Mo Xiaoyao did the same, stood up and glanced back, she was not interested in meeting others, and believed that others were actually not interested in knowing her.
The next few people did the same, they got up and turned back one after another, and the enthusiastic ones would wave like music, and more would be like Jiang Yan and Mo Xiaoyao, and they would say hello when they turned around.
Mo Xiaoyao calculated, counting the three of them, there are a total of 24 newcomers in this batch. Among them, 5 women and 19 men had no children, but there was an old man who looked to be about 60 years old. There were 4 or 5 other people who looked familiar, and seemed to have a copy of her.
Jiang Yan also noticed the old man, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times, if they also passed the copy like himself, then this old man should definitely not be underestimated - the weakness of physical strength will be made up by the mind.
The so-called orientation party, after the introduction of people, is almost halfway over. Su Wanfu said a few more words on it that anyone who reads the manual understands. Then, the topic was cut to the point of everyone's concern, and the daily tasks for the next day were assigned.
The daily tasks assigned by the system to earn gold coins are posted at the information desk at 7 p.m. every night, and anyone can pick them up with a boat card and choose them directly.
That's what it says in the manual, but Mo Xiaoyao now understands that he can't get it on his own. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, this is not wrong at all, these people on the ship have been divided into several factions, large and small, and Su Wanfu is the spokesperson they jointly elected.
He would gather everyone together first, and then ask a junior brother to bring a list of all the tasks from the information desk, project it on the big screen, and let the people of each faction study it themselves, and finally go out to the information desk one by one according to the ranking.
As for what kind of ranking, it naturally depends on strength.
In addition to these factions, there are also lone ranger players, but most of them are picked and leftover, and none of them want any faction, and few mavericks rely on their own strength to form their own faction.
According to what Su Wanfu just said, because the newcomers don't have to pay for the first three days, they are not in a hurry to receive the task, so they can ask him for a list of factions for a while, and choose a suitable one to join the collective. Of course, if you feel that you are strong enough, you can go it alone, but if you are in trouble, naturally there will be no one to help.
After all, on this ship, only its own cabin is absolutely safe, and anywhere else, there is a possibility of a fight. The rules don't allow you to kill someone, but you don't care about beating them to death and then throwing them to a secluded place to fend for themselves.
Most of the leaders of each faction have experienced a dungeon, because the time flow rate in the dungeon is different, resulting in people coming out first, so the time to get on the ship will be different. And those who don't have the strength are when the end comes, and they happen to be transported directly to the ship with something related to the doomsday cruise ship.
In other words, those who pass the dungeon test and get on the ship have all walked through the gangway, their physical fitness has been strengthened, and they have also been rewarded with skills after clearing the dungeon. And those who went straight to the ship, what was before the end of the world, and what is still the same.
Of course, Mo Xiaoyao didn't know so much now, she just vaguely guessed that some people on the ship had gone through the copy, and some didn't. The proof of this is the 4-slot bag that the dungeon awarded, some people have it, and some people don't.
Mo Xiaoyao also thought about the possibility of different rewards because of different copies, but he felt that he would not be so favoritistic, the practicality of this kind of package is obviously very strong, if not, after entering the next dungeon, it will obviously suffer a big loss.
"What do you think?" Jiang Yan suddenly tilted his head towards Mo Xiaoyao, his eyes were still staring at the list of tasks that were slowly scrolling on the big screen, and he said softly, "Which faction do you want to join in?" ”
"Not interested." Mo Xiaoyao replied, "I'll do it alone." I have a phobia of strangers. ”
Jiang Yan chuckled: "What a coincidence, so am I." Do you want us to form a team? ”
Mo Xiaoyao pondered for a while, and 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 are only united with the outside world when they strive for interests." ”
Jiang Yan smiled more and more briskly: "It's exactly what I want, then it's decided-do you want to bring the stupid boy over there?" ”
He raised his chin slightly, and clicked on Leyin's side, Mo Xiaoyao looked over and saw that Leyin was still talking to that Liu Min, dancing with his hands quite excited.
"I don't think he's going to follow. However, you can ask and give it a try. ”
Jiang Yan looked at her: "Why don't you ask?" ”
Mo Xiaoyao replied indifferently: "I have a phobia of strangers, so I can't talk casually." After speaking, I thought about it, and felt that it might not be enough to understand this, so I added, "It's okay with acquaintances, but I don't like that person." ”
Jiang Yan didn't care about the truth or falsehood of Mo Xiaoyao's words, anyway, he was close to the music, and he didn't care about asking this sentence. Turning his head, Jiang Yan gently poked the music that was chatting with Liu Minzheng with his elbow, and asked softly when he stopped talking and looked back curiously.
"Xiao Yao and I want to sign a team agreement that does not interfere with each other, do you want to join too?"
Le Yin's face immediately showed a look of embarrassment, and he pointed to Liu Min behind him: "Minzi just invited me to join their faction, saying that the people in it are very good, and there is nothing to oppress the newcomers, and Sister Hua, who takes the lead, is also very powerful, and she can cover it." You might as well join in, I heard Toshiko say that the Lone Ranger is not easy to mix up on this ship. ”
Jiang Yan shook his head, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "I'm used to being comfortable, let's take a look." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Mo Xiaoyao, and didn't give her an idea without authorization.
Mo Xiaoyao was very satisfied with Jiang Yan's attitude, and shook his head in the face of Leyin's inquiring gaze.
Le Yin originally wanted to persuade a few words, but Liu Min over there tugged at his sleeve, and he didn't speak anymore, but the regret in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Are you leaving?" Jiang Yan asked Mo Xiaoyao's opinion.
Mo Xiaoyao nodded: "Let's go." ”
It's not interesting to stay any longer, those daily tasks of points, she communicated with Jiang Yan just now, and neither of them wants to get them. First, they don't look down on the two jujubes, and if they have that time, it is better to exercise and increase their strength. The second is that they are lonely, not to mention that they can't grab 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 pay attention to it, and the initial 100 points were enough to last until the next dungeon. When the time comes, if you clear the customs smoothly, you will naturally bring back a large amount of points, if you can't clear the customs smoothly...... Dead are dead, why do you care about those points?
The two left the theater, and after briefly agreeing on future plans on the way, they signed a mutual assistance pact of non-interference and non-harm under the witness of the system, and then went their separate ways.
Then, in the days before waiting for GameToday, Mo Xiaoyao lived an almost ascetic-like regular life.
She cut a neat short haircut, equipped herself with some equipment, and then devoted her limited time to unlimited exercise, in the combination of work and rest, steadily improving her physical fitness, and striving not to appear at a critical moment due to physical exhaustion and gameover.
The days went on like this, until the 8th day when Mo Xiaoyao came to the ship.
When she woke up in the morning, she saw a colorful, collapsible leaflet on the bedside table, with nine letters written in bright red and bloody font on the top left of the page. Tomb Hunter East White
