Bright Moon City, building outside the building.

This is a restaurant, it is just time to eat at this moment, the first and second floors are full of people, and the NPC guy stepped forward and said, "What do you want to eat?"

"Is there any wine?" Zhu Li ordered some dishes and asked.

The NPC guy immediately opened his eyes and smiled: "The most famous wine in this building is the same as the name of this building, it is called Louwailou, according to legend, it was changed because of a great talent, and it was taken from the outer building of Qingshan Lou outside the mountain." ”

Zhu Li nodded: "Then bring me a bottle to try." ”

The NPC guy immediately went to get the drink and greeted the others.

"Man, business as usual. A calm voice came from outside.

"Four-color side dishes, a bottle of Louwailou, special snacks, Mr. Zhen, will be prepared for you immediately. The NPC guy smiled.

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man appeared in the field of vision in a green coat, and then sat down in the seat next to him, waiting for the guy to serve the food.

The middle-aged man has an extraordinary temperament, and Zhu Li couldn't help but take a look.

The middle-aged man seemed to sense Zhu Li's gaze and nodded slightly to him. Zhu Li also nodded in return.

It's an NPC, could it be a mission?

"Mr. Zhen, your dish is here. The NPC guy stepped forward, smiling.

Zhu Li called the guy and asked, "Can I ask you, does that gentleman come often?"

The NPC guy was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "You are asking about Mr. Zhen, yes, he will come to our restaurant for dinner every day or two." ”

"Well, I see, thanks. Zhu Li gave the guy some tips, and the guy immediately stepped back with a smile.

The more Zhu Li felt, the more he felt that Mr. Zhen had a mystery, which could make his consciousness react, indicating that it was related to this.

"Does this friend have something to tell me?" Mr. Zhen looked over after eating most of the meal.

Zhu Li was taken aback, but he didn't say a word, "How can you see it?"

Mr. Zhen smiled. Meaningful, "Among so many people, you are more special, if you are okay, just as I didn't say it." ”

"I'm more special, can Mr. Zhen see it?" Zhu Li was surprised in his heart, and he was even more sure that the middle-aged man opposite was special, and he might be able to find clues to enhance his consciousness.

"I don't need to say much else, if you are interested, you can come for a while. Mr. Zhen handed out a pale cyan invitation, neither gold nor wood nor paper. There was a faint glow circulating.

Zhu Li's eyes flashed, he took it, took a look, and said solemnly: "I will go." ”

I'm glad to say yes, this should be a hidden mission.

Mr. Zhen smiled mysteriously, and after giving the invitation, he ignored it, ate by himself, and left the restaurant after a while.

After dinner, Zhu Li also left the restaurant. When I opened the invitation, it was a banquet invitation, and the location was in Bibo Lake outside Mingyue City.

He had heard of the name of Bibo Lake, but he had never been there. This time I just had to see it, he thought.

Bibo Lake.

The rain continued and rippled on the surface of the lake, stirring up mist and filling the sky. In the vastness, mountains can be seen faintly between far and near.

Zhu Li came to the shore of the lake, and in the vast expanse, a small boat swayed and rowed to the shore. One of them asked, "Do you have an invitation, sir?"

Zhu Li took out the invitation, "Is this it?"

The rower nodded, "Exactly, please get on board." ”

In the white vastness, the fog was in the mist, and a small boat sailed forward, heading towards the lake, and the captain was dressed in a cloak and stood behind the boat with his head bowed. There was only one person on a boat, Zhu Li.

Zhu Li also looked around, and other ships could be seen faintly in the haze, thinking that they were other people who came to make an appointment.

"I don't know if there are any players. ”

Walking into the lake, the line of sight gradually cleared, and a small island in the middle of the lake appeared in front of you, which was eye-catching.

"The gentleman has arrived. ”

Zhu Li got off the boat and walked onto the island in the middle of the lake.

The boat behind was hidden in the white mist.

After walking a few steps, I heard someone ask, "Sir, are you here for the lake banquet?"

"Exactly. Zhu Li said.

"Sir, please come with me. "The man showed his face, it was a young man.

Zhu Li followed the man to the lake, and then saw a continuous palace, exuding light, and an indescribable majesty shrouded in it.

"It's amazing that there is such a place in the middle of this lake. Zhu Li exclaimed.

"This is Bibo Lake Palace, sir, please come with me. The man said, and continued to lead Zhu Li to the front.

The palace is carved and jade, faintly shrouded in mysterious power, Zhu Li's eyes moved slightly, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, a little familiar.

This force ......

Zhu Li's heart moved slightly, and he stepped into the pale cyan hall, the hall was paved with white jade, the pearl was embedded in the wall, and there were faint waves flowing in the hall, as if shrouded in a layer of water waves.

In the middle of the main hall, several cases are arranged in a phalanx, and there are already people sitting on it, there are NPCs, and there are also players, but there are very few players, and Zhu Li saw one.

There is a red carpet in the middle, which is particularly eye-catching on the white jade paved ground.

When passing by, I looked casually, there were fruits on the table, and some people were drinking and chatting, and the topic was all around this banquet. Zhu Li was silent all the way, walked to the westernmost corner by himself, sat down next to a desk, and then immediately a maid stepped forward and brought Zhu Li fruit snacks.

Zhu Li was silent alone, thinking about the purpose of this banquet.

After a while, the guests gradually arrived, and I saw a middle-aged man surrounded by several people to the main hall and come to everyone.

This person is Mr. Zhen that Zhu Li has seen.

"It's actually this person, the host of the banquet, I don't know what his identity is. Zhu Li guessed in his heart.

"I'm glad you're here. Mr. Zhen, a middle-aged man, had a strong voice and spread throughout the hall.

"It is our honor to be invited by the Lord of the Temple. Someone said.

Mr. Zhen said: "Some people here still don't know what this banquet is, so I will explain first that I held the Bibo Lake banquet this time to recruit talents for the future journey. ”

Someone asked, "What does the hall master mean, and what is the future journey?"

Hall Master Zhen said with a smile: "The world is changing, there will be fierce competition in the future, whether it is a city or a state, there will inevitably be a fierce war, and I, Bibo Lake, as a force, will also participate in it, and I hereby invite Yingjie to join, or ally with it." ”

"The hall lord has seen far-reaching. I admire it, but now that there is a dispute, there is no big war, how can the hall lord believe that there will be great changes in the future?" said an NPC city lord.

"That's not enough. Hall Master Zhen smiled, his face was unfathomable.

"How do you choose talents?"

"I also invite you to the banquet!" said with a smile.

The crowd didn't know why, but they didn't ask much.

As soon as the master of the Zhen hall clapped his hands, there were maids rushing in, with a graceful posture, and there were trays in their hands, and there were strange things on the trays.

"Please watch it!"

Everyone was puzzled. This is where it is sung.

The only player other than Zhu Li quietly contacted him, "You're also a player, right?

"I don't know. Zhu Li replied simply.

"Hall Master Zhen, what exactly is this for us to see?" an NPC city lord asked in confusion.

Hall Master Zhen looked at him and shook his head, "It seems that you have nothing to do with these wonderful things. ”

"If there is fate, you can naturally see the wonder. His gaze swept over the others.

In fact, there were some people here who were not invited by him after he valued them, and some were the surrounding city lords who were more powerful. The invitation was done out of politeness, and the other part was his emphasis on the invitation.

Some of the NPC city lords had already stood up, this was an eight-foot tall man with a heroic appearance. The burly figure gestured to the hall master Zhen: "Hall master, can you let me try?"

Hall Master Zhen raised his hand and signaled, "Just go and try." If you have a fate, you can take it. ”

The generosity of the Zhen Hall Lord surprised everyone present, and they couldn't help but talk about it in private.

Zhu Li's eyes lit up. I vaguely understood what the hall master Zhen was looking for, the so-called talent in his mouth should be a person with strong consciousness, and he was one of them.

It's just that he doesn't understand what the real purpose of finding such a person is, and he doesn't quite believe that it is the reason he said before.

He felt that there seemed to be a deeper reason, and as a person with a strong consciousness, he wanted to unravel the truth. Moreover, the strange objects on the maid's tray were also useful to him, and he sensed almost everything, and his consciousness reacted to them.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhu Li inadvertently saw that the expression on the face of the only player was also a little mysterious, and his eyes were fixed on the strange thing in front of him.

"Could it be that he can also feel extraordinary?" Zhu Li was a little puzzled, he didn't sense the special consciousness power in that player, which means that that person's consciousness is not outstanding, just an ordinary person's level.

The NPC City Lord fiddled with one of the fan-shaped jade stones in his hand without the slightest reaction.

"Why don't you give this one a try, I'm sure you're different. At this time, the hall master Zhen looked at Zhu Li, who had been silent.

Suddenly, the eyes of other people also turned over, all of them were strange, and some people seemed to have disdain on their faces and looked down on Zhu Li's identity.

"Who is this man?"

"The city lord too?"

"I actually accepted the invitation, don't you have some ability?"

A lot of people are talking.

Zhu Li's eyes turned around on everyone, and he understood their attitude, as a player, he must not be taken seriously by these people.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. Zhu Li stood up and came to a transparent stone in the shape of a jade plaque.

Zhu Li took it in his hand and looked at it, the consciousness attribute was mobilized, and Zhu Li immediately received a prompt: Found the consciousness crystal, did you absorb it?

Zhu Li's heart was shocked, and there was a touch of joy in the depths of his eyes, could it?

The change in his expression did not hide from the Zhen Hall Lord, and a trace of strangeness flashed on his face, "It seems that the Shengtian City Lord has discovered the mystery, and it is indeed a talent." ”

Others are confused and don't know why.

"What's going on, that's it?"

"What's the mystery of those things?"

The only player also sent a message to ask Zhu Li, "Friend, what's the situation? What did you find?"

Zhu Li replied directly: "I don't know. ”

"Eh, everyone is a player, tell me to order the news, I'm confused, I got an invitation for some reason, and I don't know what to do. The man complained.

"I also want to know, and I'll listen to the hall master's explanation later. "How could Zhu Li tell him about the mystery of consciousness, it was just perfunctory.

"Who else is going to try? Please feel free. "The attitude of the Zhen Hall Lord is confusing, and it feels unfathomable.

The banquet continued, and from time to time people came up to try out the strange things.

Zhu Li took the consciousness crystal in his hand, and did not absorb it, it would be too attention-grabbing, since it had been given to him, he naturally had time to absorb it.

He waited quietly. Seeing that others stepped forward to try it, one or two people actually got the affirmation of the Zhen Hall Master, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks, but he didn't see anything special, and he couldn't help but wonder.

There are only a very few people who can affirm the Zhen Hall Lord, and no one else can cause any reaction from the strange thing, so the Zhen Hall Lord can only shake his head, and many people are disappointed.

During the banquet, many people pointed at Zhu Li, as if they were talking. Some people's eyes are even more unkind.

"It seems that things are not simple, there is no good feast, these people are not good at stubble, although they are game NPCs, but they are almost the same as real people, and most of them are city lords, and it is easy to deal with me. Zhu Li's heart was bright, but he didn't care, if he was afraid, he wouldn't travel alone. It's just to grind.

The more of this kind of thing to dig into hidden tasks, the better.

The banquet ended in a strange way, and a few people stayed, and Zhu Li was one of them.

To Zhu Li's surprise, another player also stayed.

"You must be wondering what my purpose is for this banquet. Hall Master Zhen smiled incomprehensibly.

"Isn't the hall master for the sake of talent? For the war of the future?" someone asked.

"This is one of them, I didn't say that I want to be in alliance with people, that's the goal, but the biggest thing is for the big change in the future. The mainland has been in dispute for a long time, and there are many talents, and there is a mysterious trend to guide. The future is unpredictable. ”

Hall Master Zhen sighed, and finally said: "You all have a general trend, and you will definitely have a place in the future." ”

"What is the mysterious general trend that Hall Master Zhen is talking about? ”

Zhu Li's heart moved, the mysterious general trend is not the power of consciousness, could it be that other people also have a strong power of consciousness.

The hall master Zhen didn't say it explicitly, and Zhu Li didn't say it, the eyes of several people present flashed, even the player was no exception, at this moment he was also thoughtful, Zhu Li felt that he might know something.

"You will know in the future, and it is useless to talk about it now. Hall Master Zhen frowned slightly, shook his head, and didn't want to say more.

"Now, as long as you rise up and be the leader of others, you will get infinite benefits, one step ahead, that is, step by step, no more than ordinary people, I left you down to make a covenant with you, fight in the future, and help each other. ”

Everyone present was moved.

"Why did the hall master teach me?" said another player.

Hall Lord Zhen glanced at him, smiled slightly, his eyes were gloomy, and said, "You and the Shengtian City Lord are different from everyone else, and they have their own fates, and I can't speculate." ”

The player looked at Zhu Li, and the calm look he saw on his face moved in his heart, maybe he knew something.

Zhu Li's heart was actually shaken, and he always felt that the hall master Zhen seemed to be the same as Lin Zhiyun, and he could see that they were different from NPCs.

However, before, he was seen by Lin Zhiyun because he used a virtual guide to enter the world, and the other person was not.

Can you see it?

"Hall Master Zhen, you are mysterious, can you tell us the origin, we have to understand, otherwise this covenant will not be able to speak. Zhu Li said steadily.

Hall Master Zhen didn't care at all, but nodded slightly, "Okay, this is as it should be." ”

"I am the lord of these two hundred miles of Bibo Lake, although it is not a city, but there is a lake palace, comparable to a city, and I will inevitably join the competition in the future, you can call me the lord of Bibo Lake. Hall Master Zhen said.

The "Bibo Lake Master ......" several people were thoughtful.

"Okay, I'm willing to make a covenant with the Lake Lord. Another player immediately stated, "But I need to know why we were approached." ”

Of the five people present, except for Zhu Li, who vaguely understood, the other four didn't understand it, and they didn't know why.

"Hahaha. Hall Master Zhen laughed loudly, "I only tell those who have made a covenant with me, and the system will witness it." ”

Zhu Li and another player were stunned, the system?

Hall Master Zhen actually said it directly, it was the first time they had seen such an NPC.

The other three NPC city lords, their eyes flickering, chewed on the two words system, as if these two words contained something.

"Okay, system witness. "Another player has opened a formal alliance with the Zhen Hall Lord.

"What about you?" Hall Master Zhen mainly looked at Zhu Li, with expectation in the depths of his eyes.

Bibo Lake is separated by three cities from my Shengtian City, which is also considered close, and there will definitely be contact in the future. Moreover, Bibo Lake is surrounded by a hundred cities, which is also an excellent geographical location.

Zhu Li pondered, and then said, "Okay, I agree to the covenant." ”

Hall Master Zhen was overjoyed for a while, "Okay!"

The other three NPC city lords also nodded in agreement. The city of the three of them is around Bibo Lake, which can be said to be closely related, and with the help of the mysterious lake owner of Bibo Lake, there will be no worries.

"Everyone, please come with me. ”

Hall Master Zhen led the five people to the warehouse and pointed to the strange things on the shelves on the side, "Do you know what these essences are?"

Zhu Li's heart moved, and he listened quietly.

I only heard the Lord Zhen said: "This is the condensation of the origin qi of the world, the origin power. ”

The other player, Ye Qi, was still nothing, and the three NPC city lords exclaimed: "What! It's the Origin Power!"

Ye Qi didn't know what their ghost names were, so he couldn't help but ask. "What is the origin of the world?"

"The origin of the world is the most essential power of this world, and it is also the most essential power, and the foundation of the power of a qiē is this source power. An NPC city lord said with excitement on his face.

"The origin of the world is just a legend, although this world is generated by the power of the source, no one can obtain it, and all kinds of magic only exist in legends. I never imagined that I would be able to see the world's origin power today!"

"Is this really the world's origin power?!"

Hall Master Zhen smiled without saying a word, looked at the player, and explained carefully: "I can feel that the origin power in your body is stronger than that of ordinary people, otherwise I wouldn't have left you." All are heroic. All of them are blessed by the power of the world's origin, more or less, and only such people will become stronger and stronger in the future. ”

The other player was confused, but he was a veteran of the game. I knew that maybe this was the start of a hidden mission, so I was also very excited and waited for the follow-up.

"Could it be?" The three NPC city lords all looked at the Zhen Hall Lord with excitement in their eyes.

"That's right. The same is true for the three of you. Hall Master Zhen said, making the three of them overjoyed, and they felt dizzy.

That is, four people are like this. Then another person. The three NPC city lords immediately looked at Zhu Li, with doubts on their faces.

Hall Master Zhen also looked at Zhu Li, Zhu Li's eyes narrowed, knowing that Hall Master Zhen really knew the power of consciousness, and his heart suddenly fluctuated, what was going on.

Things are getting more and more bizarre.

"As for the Shengtian City Lord, he is the one I have ever seen with the most world origin power. Zhen Dian's words were shocking, and the others looked at him with shocked faces.

Especially Ye Qi, he always felt a little strange, but he knew that Zhu Li was a player, the power of the world's origin, and what did this have to do with the player.

"Hall Master Zhen can see it, and sure enough, I am even more curious about the identity of Hall Master Zhen. Zhu Li does not deny it, and it doesn't make much sense to deny it at this time. As for how much they understood, he wouldn't explain.

Hall Master Zhen looked at the strange-shaped things on the side and said with a smile, "These Origin Crystals will help enhance the power of the World Origin in your body. And with the power of the origin of the world, favored by the mysterious momentum, I will be able to open up a business in the future, which is equivalent to investing in advance. ”

"What's the use of the world's origin power?" Ye Qi checked all his personal conditions and didn't find the world's origin power, and his face couldn't help but be suspicious.

Hall Master Zhen shook his head, "I don't know about this, maybe someone knows." "Seems to be referring to something.

Zhu Li smiled faintly and did not answer.

Zhu Li asked, "Then how can we use these Origin Crystals?"

Hall Master Zhen shook his head again: "I don't know how to use it, maybe you need to sue me in the future." ”

"That's it......" Ye Qi looked disappointed.

The other three NPC City Lords did the same, but there was still anticipation in their eyes.

Ye Qi sent a message to Zhu Li in private: "Brother, what the hell is going on, I think you seem to know." ”

How could Zhu Li sue him, he sneered in his heart, but he still maintained his superficial harmony, and replied: "I'm as confused as you, if you know what the Origin Crystal is in the future, you can sue me." ”

"That's for sure. Ye Qi agreed very happily.

Zhu Li didn't take it seriously at all, and when it came to how to use the Origin Crystal, he didn't know much better than him. Perhaps, there are still a few people in this world, but they are by no means the person in front of them.

Even the previous piece, the Zhen Hall Lord once again gave everyone one piece, which means that no one now has two pieces.

Zhu Li had the intention of taking away all the Origin Crystals, but he was afraid of the strength of the Hall Master Zhen and did not plan to do it for the time being. As for the Origin Crystal in the hands of others, he would never mind taking it if he had the chance.

The five of them all made an alliance with the Zhen Hall Lord, and they kept and helped each other, which was equivalent to an alliance. But the five are not allies, and neither do the five have that meaning.

Zhu Li would not even make an alliance with them, he still wanted to snatch the Origin Crystal from them. It was something very important to him, it would increase the power of his consciousness.

"This time it was a simple covenant, and there were still places to interact with each other in the future. "The Lord of the Zhen Hall sent the five people out of the Lake Palace, and said before leaving. (To be continued......)
