Chapter 13: New Tasks

Seeing such a line of words on the watch, not only Bai Ji was frightened, but even Chen Xu, who was standing in front of him, showed a shocked expression, Bai Ji hurriedly turned his head and asked Xiao Ai: "Xiao Ai, what's going on?" ”

But what Bai Ji didn't expect was that even Xiao Ai, who was an intelligent system, was stunned, and while checking the system information, she hurriedly said: "There's no reason, this is completely out of order, no new resident will ever receive a new task the day after completing the newcomer's task, at least a week later." Something must have gone wrong, and I'll use my authority to check it for you. ”

After saying this, Xiao Ai turned into a string of blue squares and disappeared, as if returning to the system. And Bai Ji frowned and asked Chen Xu on the other side: "Have you also received a new task?" ”

Chen Xu lowered his head and knocked on his multi-function watch, which only showed the words "19:30", and did not receive any messages from the system like Bai Ji. At this time, Xiao Ai's voice sounded in Bai Ji's mind, and she still hurriedly said: "There is no problem on the system side, although it is a little beyond the setting, but you have indeed received the task arrangement." The only thankful thing is that you didn't leave the hotel, now all you have to do is tidy up and go to the hotel lobby to wait for further instructions. ”

"Looks like I won the jackpot, the mission is about to start, we'll talk next time." Bai Ji made a helpless expression at Chen Xu.

"Okay." Chen Xu said softly, "Be careful. ”

Chen Xu smiled and touched Chen Xu's little head, and after saying some goodbye, he sent Chen Xu back to her room. After that, Bai Ji took a pleasant hot bath for fifteen minutes, and then found some suitable clothes prepared by the system from the closet, changed into them, and left room 3134.

Because he has officially become a resident of the hotel, even if Bai Ji leaves the room, the intelligent system Xiao Ai can still exist in his mind. On the way downstairs, Xiao Ai said in Bai Ji's head: "Bai Ji, do you know? You can say that the hotel is the most special occupant in recent times. Just now I looked through the information briefing of your last mission, judging from the data, the difficulty of the mission has far exceeded the level of the rookie mission, and the general new residents have to deal with some miscellaneous creeps similar to zombies and appearance bugs, and sci-fi monsters like aliens should not appear in the rookie mission, at least the number of them will not be so large. ”

At this time, Bai Ji had already entered the elevator, although he was very stupid, he still nodded into the air and said, "These Liu Wentao and Li Xi have already told me, and the difficulty of that task is even beyond the level they can handle. Although there are irrationalities, I think it is more or less influenced by Liu Wentao. He is experienced in many battles and powerful, and in order to pose a certain threat to him, the system can only greatly increase the difficulty of the task, so only three new residents successfully check into the hotel. ”

"It's not entirely impossible for you to speculate." Xiao Ai said, "Although I have not directly contacted the old resident you mentioned, if he is really as strong as you say, then there is no reason for him to be tasked with welcoming the new resident, which is contradictory." Also, even if you can explain the things of the rookie quest clearly, but your first quest is the day after you complete the rookie quest, it is clear that the system is deliberately targeting you. ”

Bai Ji smiled coldly, and responded to Xiao Ai in his head: "As a part of the system, don't even you understand the behavior pattern of the system?" ”

"While I'm part of the system, I'm just a low-level piece of code, and I don't have much more privileges than a resident." "So we don't know a lot about the system, but it can be used as a medium for residents to communicate with the system." ”

Bai Ji sighed, "Since the system wants to target me, no matter what the reason, I can only accept it, right?" Anyway, like you said, my adaptability is quite strong in the new occupants, and I'm ready to make it safe and earn enough points on this mission. ”

"Well, to resurrect your sister."

"Well, also so that you don't get deleted by the system." Bai Ji said this, which made Xiao Ai, as a system, feel warm in his heart.

At this time, the elevator that had been firmly parked on the first floor opened the door, and Bai Ji walked towards the lobby and found that the hotel lobby was empty.

Looking at the time, it was already seven fifty o'clock in the evening, and there were still ten minutes before the time when the task was announced, so Bai Ji casually found a place on the sofa and sat down. As time passed, Bai Ji saw more and more people gathered in the hotel lobby, until 7:58, there were more than a dozen people standing scattered in the lobby, and many of them rushed back from outside the hotel.

"With you, there are a total of thirteen households in this mission, and it seems that the difficulty of the task will not be too low." Xiao Ai said this in Bai Ji's head.

"Will the system also adjust the difficulty of the task according to the number of people on the mission?" Bai Ji asked.

"Of course." Xiao Ai said.

At this time, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old curly-haired boy sat next to Bai Ji and handed him a cigarette in a friendly manner. ”

Bai Ji nodded and asked the young man, "How do you know?" ”

The boy smiled, pointed to the rest of the residents and said, "You see, as long as you are an old resident of the hotel, you will more or less get to know other residents in the hotel or in the mission, because the team mode of the mission is random, so the more residents you know, the more help you can get from others." You're sitting here alone, and you can only be new. And I'm telling you, it's stupid to behave like you, and it's hard to get the job done without the help of your peers. ”

At the end, the young man also lit the cigarette that Bai Ji was holding in his mouth, "By the way, my name is Li Xiaopeng, I just came to the hotel not long ago, this is my third mission." ”

Bai Ji was not afraid of Li Xiaopeng's jokes, and said bluntly: "My name is Bai Ji, and I just came to the hotel on the second day, and this is the first task for me to remove the newcomer mission." ”

"Oh, that's it." Li Xiaopeng touched his chin and nodded deeply, and then suddenly exclaimed, "What!?" It's only been the second day since you arrived at the hotel and you're on your first mission!? ”

These words shouted so loudly that the other residents who were talking turned their eyes to this side, Bai Ji hurriedly covered Li Xiaopeng's mouth, lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing?" Do you want everyone to know I'm a special case? ”

Although it was not a big deal to receive a notification of a new assignment the day after entering the hotel, Bai Ji still didn't want other irrelevant residents to know, because he felt that others would treat him as a "special group" when he found out. No, he just said it to Li Xiaopeng lightly, and the other party gave this exaggerated reaction.

Before Bai Ji could let go of his hand, he heard a loud bang from the glass wall of the hotel, which immediately attracted the attention of all the residents who were making noise. Bai Ji glanced over there and found that a man in a black suit had broken through the wall.

The man patted the glass shards on his body as if he was nothing, and then casually glanced at the residents who were looking at him, and a thick murderous aura that even Bai Ji could feel immediately swept away, and the cold hairs on Bai Ji's body exploded. At the same time, I only felt a shock in my arm, and the system information came to the watch again.

A new mission, survive in Bangkok, Thailand for a week, and if the resident leaves Bangkok within the time limit, he will be "bounted" by the system. The teleportation function has been turned on, and residents will be transported to a random location in Bangkok, and residents are asked to leave the hotel lobby in an orderly manner from the main entrance of the hotel.

"Teleportation?" Bai Ji frowned, "Once you leave the hotel, will you be transported to Bangkok?" ”

Of course, these words were said to Xiao Ai silently by Bai Ji in his heart, and Xiao Ai nodded in Bai Ji's mind. Li Xiaopeng, who was on the side, intervened and said: "Thailand, I didn't expect us to receive the task of going abroad." ”

"Haven't you been abroad?" Bai Ji asked Li Xiaopeng and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand. At this time, the residents of the hotel had already begun to walk out of the door, and the first to leave was naturally the man in black who was full of evil energy.

Bai Ji found that as soon as all the residents stepped out of the hotel door, they would disappear immediately, that is, the teleportation system would take effect. But what he didn't understand was that the hotel was richly decorated, why such a high-level teleportation system didn't use some cool special effects, but suddenly disappeared, which seemed very, very unnatural.

Li Xiaopeng shook his head and said: "It's not a matter of not being able to go abroad, according to my personal experience, the farther the distance the resident teleports, the higher the difficulty of the task." ”

Bai Ji frowned, and asked Xiao Ai in his heart, "Why haven't I heard you say it?" Is there such a thing? ”

"." Xiao Ai said, "It's all nonsense, I think this resident named Li Xiaopeng is not reliable at all, you have to beware of him." ”

Bai Ji said "um", in fact, he didn't need Xiao Ai to remind him to keep an eye on it, beware of unfamiliar people has always been Bai Ji's living habits, especially in this environment where survival and scores are important, it is even more impossible for him to completely trust anyone.

"I'm staying in room 2122 in the hotel, so tell me your room number as well, because when we get to Bangkok, we'll be randomly teleported anywhere, and we can use the watch's communication system to get in touch when the time comes." Li Xiaopeng said.

Although I don't know what potential purpose Li Xiaopeng has for approaching him, it is better to have multiple helpers than to fight alone, if the last mission did not have the help of Chen Xu and Zhao Tianren, Bai Ji would never have come to the hotel alive. So he nodded and told Li Xiaopeng the number of the room he was staying in.

"See you in Bangkok." Li Xiaopeng said this, and then walked out of the hotel door.

At this point, Bai Ji was the only one left in the entire hotel lobby, Bai Ji took a big breath and took a step outside.

"You've left the safe zone, and the mission has officially begun. Happy hunting and staring straight to death. ”

The cold mechanical voice in his head said.
