Chapter 138: Settlement
On the morning of the fourth week of December, several group friends in Zhongzhou City accompanied Xu Ran to buy furniture, beds and other daily necessities, the number of people is efficient, Xu Ran himself is engaged in decoration design, there is a spectrum of furniture market psychology, going to the market is a purposeful purchase of brands and styles, a few people first went to buy beds, sofas, coffee tables, Xu Ran handed over his house keys to Chen Xiangxiang and asked her and Li Xin and a few others to greet these things to send to their homes, and the delivery vehicles were arranged by people in their own shopping malls, They are only responsible for guiding the way and receiving and placing furniture in the house.
Xu Ran and Kong Xiuying went to buy furniture such as combination cabinets again, considering that they all needed to log in to the dream game in the afternoon, Xu Ran left the phone number of his new Zhongzhou City to the furniture seller, and asked the other party to deliver it to him the next morning. The two then went to buy futon and returned to their house to meet Chen Xiangxiang and others.
During the time when the two were alone, Kong Xiuying and Xu Ran talked about Li Xin's being a member of the National Security Bureau and inviting everyone to join the National Security Bureau, and Xu Ran was not too surprised; After Li Xin went to the police station to help pick him up last time, Xu Ran felt that the director of the police station was quite polite to Li Xin, if it wasn't Li Xin's Lu Ziye, Li Xin also worked in a government agency, and on the way back to the hotel, Xu Ran also tried to praise Li Xin's wide connections, Li Xin explained that he happened to have a friend who could have a relationship with the director here, and Xu Ran could see that Li Xin didn't want to talk more about his relationship with the police station, so Xu Ran didn't ask more.
Xu Ran and Kong Xiuying have similar views on this matter, since several group friends have formed a QQ group, it is not easy to completely hide the matter of the dream game from the outside world, and now that the country knows about it, it is good that they can be regarded as having an understanding and understanding, what he is most worried about is that because the dream game is too unbelievable, several of them will be used by scientific research units to do research, and it seems that at least for the time being, such a thing will not happen.
He didn't mind what Li Xin did, after all, Li Xin was also responsible, and it should be so. He also agrees with Kong Xiuying's view that Li Xin will continue to stay in the group, and groups like them will inevitably be focused on by the state, if Li Xin is kicked out of the group, the country will naturally have to take other measures to control their movements, rather than this, it is better to let Li Xin continue to stay in the group, so as to facilitate everyone's mutual communication and understanding. Xu Ran also felt that Li Xin could still be dealt with as a friend.
By the time Xu Ran and Kong Xiuying rushed back to their house in the morning, it was already half past eleven, in order not to affect everyone's landing on the dream game in the afternoon, Xu Ran hurriedly invited everyone to have a light meal at a nearby fast food restaurant, which was regarded as expressing gratitude to everyone for their busy work all morning. And said that he would go back and invite everyone to a formal banquet.
Xu Ran officially moved into his new house on Monday.
On Tuesday morning, Xu Ran refused to let several other group friends come to the house to help, only Kong Xiuying, Chen Xiangxiang, and Li Xin drank tea and chatted together in Xu Ran's new house, waiting for the furniture store to deliver the furniture, and then helped Xu Ran put the furniture in place together.
While chatting in the morning, Xu Ran took the initiative to talk to Li Xin about joining the National Security Bureau, and Xu Ran told Li Xin that he, like Kong Xiuying, would not join the National Security Bureau for the time being, but if there was something that needed to contribute, he would definitely contribute.
Li Xin talked to a few of them about the Provincial State Security Bureau's investigation of suspected dreamwalkers across the province, which is based on "cases that were suddenly sent to the hospital after 12 o'clock at night for unknown reasons" After summarizing, unannounced visits and touching arrangements, there are very few people who can enter the dream game, and there is a situation in it that hopes to attract the attention of several of them, among the 88 people who inquired, 7 people were found to have headaches sometimes, and another 6 people were accompanied by headaches and obvious memory loss. These phenomena have all occurred in the last month or two, and they all happened after they suddenly fainted and were taken to the hospital.
Xu Ran and Kong Xiuying didn't ask how many people the National Security Bureau found that could enter the dream game, and for the headache and memory loss, both of them speculated that it was very likely that the death of the player character in the dream game caused the sequelae of the dream walker, Li Xin said that he also felt that it was likely to be the case, and Chen Xiangxiang also deeply agreed after listening to the analysis of several people.
Li Xin also said that among the 88 people, the time when they suddenly fell into a coma and were sent to the hospital was the closest thing now, and it was 4 months ago, if these people were people who could enter the dream game, they might all have entered the mental force field scene with the gamer now, and the dreamwalker may not be able to wake up there, so it is difficult to find people who can enter the dream game in such a crowd now.
Kong Xiuying thought about it and thought that what Li Xin said made sense.
Li Xin went on to say that he didn't know why it was difficult to find new people who could enter the dream game now, which Xu Ran, Kong Xiuying, and Chen Xiangxiang all felt the same way, at least the "Dream Walker" group was still posting to the outside world trying to find someone who could enter the dream game, but few people responded, and occasionally those who replied were also asked out of curiosity, and at a glance, they knew that it was not the person who entered the dream game.
Xu Ran believes that one reason is that Dream Games has not yet opened the registration of new users; One reason is that the Dream game has been improved, and newly registered users no longer need Dreamwalker to take risks for the player.
That night, Xu Ran replied to Li Xin, Kong Xiuying and Chen Xiangxiang in a private chat: "Dream Games has not yet opened the registration of new users. ”
Xu Ran set up a banquet in Zhongzhou City on Tuesday night to invite the group friends of Zhongzhou City to have dinner together, one is to celebrate his housewarming, and the other is to thank the group friends of Zhongzhou City for their love for him.
Every time Xu Ran logged in to the game this week, he still went to the spiritual thorn practice room to practice the spirit thorn, and then went to the blacksmith shop twice a day to strike iron.
He was now able to fire his first spirit thorn within 1 second. The interval between his last few mental stabs had also stabilized to 20 seconds.
Kong Xiuying and Chen Xiangxiang's jade bracelets also let Xu Ran appreciate it, he did feel very magical after holding it, obviously there was a striking and refreshing and uplifting taste, especially when the two jade bracelets were held in his hand at the same time, the feeling was particularly strong; Due to Xu Ran's large palm, he couldn't wear the two jade bracelets, Kong Xiuying and Chen Xiangxiang both let him take them to the dream game to experience it, because he couldn't wear them on his wrist, he was worried that if he broke someone's jade bracelet, he could only thank him.
This week, Xu Ran made a profit of 49 silver coins by striking iron, and he paid 28 copper coins for practicing spiritual thorns.
As of Sunday (that is, December 27), Xu Ran's personal game currency has accumulated: 44 gold coins, 4 silver coins and 3 copper coins.
