Chapter 53: Halloween Chess Game (12)
The day after Lomaria revealed the secret of the chess pieces, the four of them arranged for their soldiers to act in two ways. Richard and Lomaria go to the "Dumas Restaurant" to investigate, while Lee Mengxi and Naon Hinata go to find the southern section of Sixth Street.
Even if Romania had done her calculations accurately, it would not have been an easy task. They worked hard all morning before they gathered at noon as agreed at the "Imperial Bar" where they met yesterday.
Richard and the others took a corner position first, and it didn't take long for Li Mengxi and them to arrive. The first thing the four of them had to do when they sat down together was naturally to report to each other the results of a long morning's hard work.
"How's it going?" asked Romania as she saw the two people sitting across from her.
"We found an eagle's mark on the lamppost of a street lamp. Hinata spoke on behalf of the two of them, "Although it was a destructible object, Yumeki and I didn't really do it. Therefore, it is not clear whether there are chess pieces hidden there or not. What about you?"
"There is a statue of a golden carp in the lobby of the Dumas restaurant, and a scale in the center is not protected by the system. However, just like you, we have not confirmed further. ”
Romania said with a shrug.
"It seems that no one has really seen the chess pieces. Li Mengxi smiled slightly.
"This is also a helpless thing. Richard nodded. "All four of us already have chess pieces, and it wouldn't be good if we broke the mechanism and grabbed someone else's chess piece just out of curiosity. This time, the strategy was originally a situation where only eleven people could play, and it was not wise to squeeze out two people for this reason on this basis. ”
"However, I don't think Lomaria is wrong in her conclusion. Because, the last sentence of the two riddles does mention information related to carp and eagles. In this way, it should be okay to think that this conclusion is correct. ”
"Mybrother is right!Miss Lomaria is right!How about I suggest that everyone go there for a big dinner in a moment to celebrate?"
"I said you, just to get cheap with Li Mengxi's VIP card. Rosea gave Richard a disdainful look.
"It's okay, this guy can only be generous in this city. As soon as I leave here, he will be stingy, and he will have to worry about me spending my own money. ”
"Please say that I am thrifty, a reasonable view of money, and being prepared for danger in times of peace is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people. ”
"Lie less, isn't the virtue of the Chinese hard-working?"
"It's better than this......" Romania interjected in time, stopping the two from arguing any further. This is because she is worried that these two people just quarreled yesterday, but it is not a big deal.
"Nain, is your appetite all right? ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Seeing Romaria's worried expression, Hinata immediately showed a bright smile to prove it. "It's fine after throwing up last night. ”
"Did you still vomit yesterday?" asked Li Mengxi a little strangely. Because, Hinata Nain clearly said yesterday that "even if you die, you won't do such a tasteless thing as vomiting".
"No, I don't. How so? Did you hear me wrong? I said 'sleep' after 'sleeping'. yes, Sister Romania. ”
Naine Hinata called her "sister" as a respectful address, but there was a deep threat hidden in her smile. Seeing this expression, which was so complicated that it was difficult to describe, Lomaria felt a hairbreak in her heart.
"That's right! Li Mengxi, you heard it wrong. ”
"Yes. He responded like this, but Li Mengxi just felt weird. In terms of his parameter values, how could it be that he heard it wrong, but since even Lomaria said that he heard it wrong......
"Smack!" Suddenly, Richard clapped his hands violently, attracting attention and interrupting Li Mengxi's thoughts. "I think you've had enough rest, let's go. ”
"yes. "Speaking of dinner, it's the 'Shabelle's Restaurant', if you don't go early, the seat will be taken out by NPCs." ”
"In that case, let's go. Naine Hinata was the third to stand up.
Looking at the three of them singing and harmonizing, Li Mengxi felt more and more weird, and said in his heart: I see, Naiyin really vomited.
However, he did not debunk the girl. Although Hinata sometimes deliberately teases him and finds it funny, he has no interest in deliberately making others look ugly, especially if the other party is Hinata Nain.
"Let's go, then. I'll pay for it then, it's free. ”
Pretending to be kept in the dark, Li Mengxi was the last to get up and say.
"That's what I was going to do, my brother. ”
"I said you, at least don't be so explicit. Rosea said with disdain again.
"It's okay Romeria, Mengxi will be happy to settle the bill. ”
"I said Nain, which side are you on?"
"Of course, it's on the side of a reasonable view of money. You don't have to pay a penny, that's the most reasonable, isn't it?" Hinata looked back and showed an innocent expression.
Damn! so cute! so cute that you don't want to talk back!
For himself who couldn't help but think like this, Li Mengxi was also speechless.
"Alas!"
......
Leaving the "Imperial Bar", which is not suitable for dining, the group of four went to the luxurious restaurant "Shabell" while chatting and laughing. Then, I had a full meal with Li Mengxi's free VIP card.
The environment of the restaurant is very elegant, the food is indeed full of color, flavor and deliciousness, and the seats are also well lit by the window, and several people are very satisfied with this meal. It's just that the more perfect you feel, the more emptiness you feel after eating.
"What should we do after that?" asked Hinata as she smelled the aroma of the fruit tea she consumed after eating.
Immediately, she noticed that what she said seemed to be a little unclear, and hurriedly added: "I'm not asking about the arrangements for this afternoon, I'm talking about what we should do during the time when all the chess pieces have been found?"
"What to do? Li Mengxi didn't understand the meaning of Hinata Nain's question.
"It's okay to wait a day or two, but it's boring to wait for ten days and half a month. Romania shook her head with a slightly desperate expression, "Why don't we pass on the information we got today?"
"That's not a good idea, Miss Romania. Richard retorted, "What if you provoke a conflict between players?"
"So, how about finding two people we think are okay and just telling them the information?"
"That's a good one. Naine Hinata immediately expressed her support.
"This can be a try, but we don't have any good candidates on our side at the moment. How's it going for you, Mybrother?"
Hearing Richard ask this, Li Mengxi suddenly felt embarrassed. There were very few names on his friends list, and he couldn't find anyone else unless someone he knew reached out to him.
"Sorry, I don't have that here. Li Mengxi replied with some embarrassment, and then he looked at Nayin Hinata beside him.
"Nain, what about you?"
"I'm sorry, but people don't say 'a lot'. Hinata Nain deliberately faced Li Mengxi with a bright expression.
Richard and Romania, of course, didn't see anything else. But Li Mengxi fully understood the true essence.
Obviously, Nayin Hinata's friend list is scary, but she deliberately says that she doesn't have "a lot" of friends. This is clearly a satire on Li Mengxi's lack of attention to the cultivation of interpersonal relationships. And this point seems to annoy the girl, whose "sorry" is a clear signal of refusal to give help.
"I'm sorry, but it seems that my proposal is not easy to implement. Hey, hey, hey. Li Mengxi had no choice but to smile at the two opposite.
"It seems that only someone was called from William. "However, it would not be appropriate if someone solved the riddle and took the piece during the time they had arrived." ”
After saying this, everyone fell silent, and they all thought about whether there was a better way.
After a long time, Richard was the first to speak.
"Let's wait a few days, if you look at the speed at which the pieces have been found so far, the last two pieces will only be found in about a week. If the pieces haven't been discovered by then, we'll call two more people from the Raiders. As for the waiting time...... We might as well use that to pass the blow first. ”
As he spoke, Richard gave a thumbs up and pointed out the window.
The three of them looked curiously in the direction of his finger, and their eyes naturally fell on the banner hanging on the lamppost on the streetside, and then read in unison: "The first riding cross-country competition in the two-horn city." ”
