Chapter 17: The Players Assemble
Boss Shi is indeed a boss, and he recognized at a glance that Qin Manjiang was also an unlucky guy who was going to Xianyang Village.
"Come on, take my car, otherwise when the seven days are up, it will be inconvenient for us to escape without a car."
Qin Manjiang thought about it, and it was the same reason.
He looked at the other party, and at a cursory glance, Boss Shi was a little sloppy, but after a closer look, he found that this person actually had some literati temperament.
Boss Shi leaned over and opened the co-pilot's seat for Qin Manjiang.
"My name is Shi Lianshan, and I do antique business, what about you?"
Seeing this, Qin Manjiang got into his car and said, "Qin Manjiang, he is still a student. ”
"Haha, I know, you're younger than my son, don't be angry when you called you just now."
Shi Lianshan said cheerfully,
"As soon as I looked at the codename, I knew that the player wasn't too old."
Qin Manjiang was a little embarrassed at this time.
He was suddenly a little curious, the state and mood of this Boss Shi were not at all like he was going to the village where ghosts and curses existed, it was just like an ordinary trip, wasn't he afraid?
Boss Shi seemed to see his doubts, handed over a bottle of frozen canned coffee, and said, "Early in the morning, refresh yourself, we have to stay in that village for seven days, and now we can relax a little." ”
"Thank you." Qin Manjiang took the coffee and didn't open it immediately to drink.
Boss Shi didn't care, but said: "You may not know much about my business, antiques, most of the transactions are carried out privately, you can't make a lot of money at all if you can put it on the surface, you won't open for three years, and you will be like us after three years of opening and eating." ”
He seems to have a strong conversation: "When I was young, I went to the countryside with people to find goods, and it was not a lie, what I earned was a vision and guts, after all, there are some things that we can't tell if they are true or false, and I have been deceived by some people who seem to be honest, that guy, holding a bottle as a treasure, I invited him to eat He also pretended to be drunk, took out the bottle and cried, saying that it was a bottle in the Southern Song Dynasty, passed down from generation to generation, and I was reluctant to come out, so I believed the nonsense of spitting the truth after drinking, so I said that I took down the bottle." ”
"Later, I showed my master, hey! This process is quite new, and it was an old technology that just came out last year. Damn, absolutely! It seems that many years have passed, but Boss Shi still chatters endlessly, like a few family treasures, "So I tell you Xiao Qin, poor, remote, backward, uneducated, countrymen, mountain people, these things are not necessarily related to honest duty, but the poorer the countryside, the more isolated the village, the more tricky the people, the more treacherous the customs." ”
Qin Manjiang nodded, he himself is a countryman, speaking of which...... Some of the customs of Xiahe Village can also be called weird.
"What about the others?" Qin Manjiang glanced around, but didn't see anything that looked like a foreigner.
"Two of them haven't come yet, and two of them are going to town to buy something to prepare, so we'll wait here." Boss Shi glanced at his mobile phone, and at this time, a car that was worth a lot of money at a glance also drove over.
"Didi-"
After honking twice, the car window rolled down, and a woman wearing big sunglasses and delicate and elegant makeup revealed half of her face and looked at Boss Shi and Qin Manjiang.
"You are ......"
She took the initiative to ask, her voice gentle and beautiful.
Boss Shi hurriedly raised his hand and said hello: "I'm Boss Shi, my real name is Shi Lianshan, is Miss Chiyu or is she annoyed?" ”
Qin Manjiang's heart moved, it seemed that the two people who went to the town to buy things were Qingteng and the knife and pen officer, and the two who had not yet come were Chiyu and annoyed.
However, to his surprise, Boss Shi didn't seem to have seen the pond fish and was annoyed.
Annoyed that as a player in the top 10 of the leaderboard, he has never acted with him?
"I'm ...... Abyss, you can call me Qin Manjiang. Qin Manjiang also said hello, and only then did he realize how difficult it was to say this code name in real life.
"Ah...... Hello, I'm a pond fish. The young lady also said her code name in the weird tale game.
"That's my pen name too...... My real name is Liu Jingqing. ”
is completely different from the eldest sister who drives a luxury car and wears big sunglasses, this Miss Chiyu always speaks softly, but she can completely feel the panic and uneasiness in her heart.
Boss Shi's glasses lit up and slapped his palms: "When I saw the name Chi Yu, I was thinking, could it be that Chi Yu, was your novel adapted into a TV series some time ago?" ”
Miss Liu Jingqing nodded and smiled reluctantly: "It's me." ”
Boss Shi was about to praise a few more words, but after seeing her face, he also stopped: "That...... That's good, I didn't expect you to be picked up by this game as well......"
The atmosphere suddenly became dull.
Indeed, wealth and power in real life cannot resist the existence of idealism at all.
The crosses that Qin Manjiang brought with him when he was in the cinema, Guanyin, Jade Buddha, what kind of evil spirits, and exorcisms all tried it, but it was completely useless.
They don't have any other way but to honestly follow its rules of the game.
"By the way, Miss Liu, you can't drive this car into Xianyang Village, take my car."
Boss Shi said.
Liu Jingqing glanced at him and Qin Manjiang, and nodded: "That...... Excuse me. ”
Boss Shi waved his hand and said, "What's the trouble, this car is used to run bad roads, and it can seat seven people, so we can put it down with more things." ”
Speaking of this, Boss Shi was suddenly silent for a moment.
"I don't know what the two of you have experienced before, but in this strange conversation, I hope we can cooperate sincerely and help each other, and in this world, the only people who can understand our situation at the moment are each other who are also deeply involved in this game."
"Lao Shi is right," a rich male voice came from not far away, he was carrying a sports backpack, shaved board, in good shape, and carrying a lot of things in his hands, although it could be seen that he was middle-aged, but his mental state was very good, "Hello, I am a knife and pen officer, a history teacher who loves sports, his real name is He Jian, just call me Lao He." ”
He unceremoniously opened the door of the back seat of the SUV and threw everything up: "Counting this time, this is the second time that I have worked with this guy." ”
He Jian pointed at Shi Lianshan with his chin, and said while moving things: "As a weak party, if we still focus on intrigue and don't look for a way out of trouble, it will be completely self-defeating." Survival resources, information, new ideas, these can all be shared, and the most important thing is to solve the strange story, or to escape the strange story. ”
"Right...... Yes, we ...... We should help each other. Another male voice appeared, and at this time Qin Manjiang and Liu Jingqing realized that behind the tall He Jian, there was actually a thin young man.
He wears glasses, is in his twenties, doesn't stand very straight, his voice trembles, and he doesn't look very confident.
"I'm ...... Qingteng, temporarily unemployed...... His real name is ...... Chen Ping. ”
After chatting a few words briefly, Qin Manjiang had some bottom in his heart.
For now, at least, his first multiplayer mode didn't run into any weirdos, and everyone was worried about the next seven long days.
However, the annoyance has not yet appeared.
"What's going on, it's not here yet...... Haven't you ever been in contact with annoying death before? Shi Lianshan asked.
Everyone shook their heads, and even Qin Manjiang was the first time to play a strange game with others.
"Oops...... That can't wait, it takes more than half a day just to drive over, could it be that the tenth place, what happened on the road? Shi Lianshan muttered.
"I think...... I...... Shall we go first? If you're late...... It's going to die directly......" Chen Ping whispered.
However, this sentence made Qin Manjiang's heart move.
He turned his head sideways and said to Shi Lianshan in the driver's seat: "I also think we can go, tenth, we should have our own ideas." ”
Shi Lianshan glanced at the rearview mirror, and everyone gave him a sure look, so he nodded:
"Okay, let's go!"
