At 12:30 noon, Xue Mingyue brought the prepared lunch and placed it on a full table.
After everyone sat around and had a meal, they said goodbye to Mr. Gui.
Before leaving, Gui Yuanzhang called Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang to the study and asked privately, "Have you already met him?"
Of course Yu Hanjiang knew who Mr. Gui was referring to, and nodded and said, "I met him in Zhou Chang's secret room."
Gui Laodao said, "Then I won't say more. He should have told you the next arrangements. You can go to the Intelligence Bureau and ask Mr. Tang to give you some strategies for the subsequent secret rooms to speed up the progress of clearance."
Xiao Lou said, "Senior, don't worry, we are planning to go to the Intelligence Bureau on Wednesday."
Gui Yuanzhang smiled and looked at the two young people with loving eyes, "Then I will wait for you at the eleventh level."
After leaving the villa where they retired, everyone sat in silence in the car.
Obviously, Mr. Gui's words shocked everyone. Even a 60-year-old man has not given up. What reason do young people like them have to shrink back? Even if they have never practiced martial arts or fighting skills in reality, this world depends on
are cards.
Everyone saw how Professor Xiao used compasses to make various tools, and how he used Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" to make a group of sharks kill each other. How to use cards flexibly is to survive in this world.
fundamental.
The car was driving halfway and encountered a red light at an intersection.
Lao Mo turned around and asked, "The card market is right in front, do you still want to go?"
Xiao Lou said, "Go and have a look, maybe you can find something useful."
Lao Mo turned left after the green light, parked the car in a nearby parking lot, and said to Shao Qingge, "Mr. Shao, transfers are not allowed in the trading market. They are all one-time transactions and only accept cash. If you want to buy cards, we
I have to go to a nearby bank to get some gold coins.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an automatic teller machine suddenly appeared in the car.
Shao Qingge put his identity card into the card slot, took out several hundred gold coins with a face value of 10,000, and said with a smile, "That should be enough."
Mo Xuemin helplessly said, "You can withdraw money anytime, anywhere. You forgot you have this."
Shao Qingge said, "I only have this S card at the moment, so it's more convenient when I withdraw money."
Xiao Lou joked, "This card is more in line with your rich temperament."
Shao Qingge nodded shamelessly, distributed some gold coins to everyone, and said, "The rich people have distributed money to everyone. Go to the market later and buy the cards you like when you see them."
Ye Qi joked, "Thank you, dad, the sponsor."
Shao Qingge turned around and looked at him with a half-smile, "No thanks, call me dad again and I'll give you some more."
Ye Qi was thin-skinned, and his ears turned red when he spoke, and he was too embarrassed to speak again.
Lao Mo parked the car and took everyone to the underground floor. It was a bit like a night market in the real world. There were no fixed stores. Many challengers set up small stalls just like selling mobile phone cases in a night market. Many people walked through it, picking and choosing.
Buy cards locally.
Xiao Lou walked to a stall marked "Electrical Appliances Specialty" and found a lot of good things.
Electric stove, electric heater, electric kettle, electric water purifier, refrigerator, electric pressure cooker, juicer
This is simply a home appliance supermarket.
Xiao Lou remembered that he had once drawn a power bank card, which could immediately reset the skill CD of electrical cards. He walked over and said with a smile, "Boss, how do you sell these electrical cards?"
The boss greeted enthusiastically, "50,000 per ticket, and if you package the whole set, you will get a 20% discount."
Xiao Lou bought all the electrical cards.
Liu Qiao bought some Tool parasols, Qu Wanyue bought some fans, and Long Sen bought a basketball.
Everyone walked around the market and found that there were all kinds of cards, all of which were daily necessities, and none of them had combat skills.
After the money was almost spent, everyone turned around and gathered at the entrance of the market.
Lao Mo smiled and said, "With all the home appliances, we can go to the wilderness and open a family hotel."
Xiao Lou said, "With these supplies, everyone will have a slightly easier time living in the secret room in the future."
The cards here are all supply cards obtained from the Zhou Chang Secret Room and the Plum Blossom Secret Room, truly powerful battle cards. No challenger would be stupid enough to sell them because those cards are everyone’s life-saving trump cards. If you sell them, it will be difficult for you to survive.
.
A lot of useful cards were found in the trading market, and everyone returned home with a full load.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when we drove back to the community, and Xiao Lou took everyone to a nearby supermarket to shop for goods.
The supply card has a limit on the number of times it can be used. You must save some and use it after entering the secret room world. While living in the main city, you still have to go to the supermarket to buy toothbrushes, facial cleanser, towels, etc.
Ye Qi suggested, "Buy some shampoo and shower gel. There was almost no more in the bathroom when I took a shower yesterday."
Liu Qiao said, "Soap and hand sanitizer are almost gone."
Just as he was talking, Xiao Lou sent a picture to the WeChat group and said, "I made a list, everyone should buy according to the list."
Everyone opened the WeChat group and saw a large list of daily necessities, pots and pans; toiletries, pajamas and slippers, teacups, mouthwash cups, paper towels, crisper boxes, and garbage bags.
Ye Qi's eyes widened, "This is too complete. It's almost time to move to a new home."
Qu Wanyue couldn't help but say, "Professor Xiao is so attentive. There are some things that I didn't expect."
Xiao Lou pushed a shopping cart and said with a smile while taking things, "I just moved to a new home before the Chinese New Year. This is based on the moving list at that time. Take a look, if there is anything else you need to add, you can go shopping by yourself."
Leave it in the car.”
When Yu Hanjiang saw Xiao Lou carefully selecting the items on the shelves, he couldn't help but admire him. In reality, Professor Xiao must be a person who is very good at life. Unlike him, he knows nothing about these details of life. He only cooks instant noodles when he gets home.
Everyone pushed four shopping carts. In addition to daily necessities, they also bought a lot of food, milk, yogurt, bread, eggs, and a large cart of vegetables and meat. This situation almost emptied the supermarket and filled up all the cashiers.
Scared.
All four shopping carts were full, and everyone went home carrying plastic bags.
Everyone bought new toiletries, cups and towels of different colors so that they would not be mixed up. The two girls were responsible for tidying up the kitchen and putting food in the refrigerator; Xiao Lou also bought all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar used for cooking.
The newly bought dishes and chopsticks were arranged and put aside. The kitchen was empty of cutting boards, knives, rice, and noodles. The drawers and cabinets were quickly filled.
Yu Hanjiang walked over and asked Xiao Lou, "If you plan to cook at home, wouldn't it be more convenient to eat out?"
Lao Mo also said, "My previous team never thought of cooking here. Eating outside is very cheap."
Xiao Lou's gentle eyes swept over the crowd and said, "Now that we have signed a contract to form a team, in this world from now on, we will all be considered a family. In addition to breaking through the levels, I hope that we can also get to know each other better. Today
I will cook in the evening and we will eat at home without the waiter interrupting us or worrying about being eavesdropped. We can all talk freely."
Everyone felt a little complicated when they heard this.
Ye Qi's eyes turned slightly red. He remembered the days when he struggled to eat leaves alone in the nightmare chamber. Now that he had a temporary "home", he would no longer be afraid of fighting alone.
The expressions on the faces of Liu Qiao, Long Sen, Qu Wanyue, Lao Mo and others were also quite complicated. Obviously, they all thought about how difficult it was to have such a temporary home before. Everyone seemed to be worried and uneasy.
They all found a home.
Xiao Lou is the owner of the contract. He is like a careful and responsible parent who brings everyone together to form a new team.
Compared with cold commands and orders, as long as everyone puts down their guard and truly treats their teammates as "family", in the future, no matter how difficult the difficulties are, everyone can fight side by side. Sometimes, this kind of details in life,
It will subtly affect everyone's inner emotions, thus enhancing the cohesion of the team.
Yu Hanjiang thought to himself, the biggest difference between Brother Jiu and Xiao Lou is here.
As a soldier, Lu Jiuchuan's way of leading the team must be to train his teammates as strictly as soldiers, so that everyone must obey instructions.
But Xiao Lou will gently make everyone feel a sense of belonging to the team and like the team from the bottom of their hearts. Under such a premise, who would betray the team and abandon his teammates?
Seeing that everyone was a little moved, Xiao Lou smiled slightly and asked, "Is it okay to eat dumplings tonight?"
Ye Qi said excitedly, "Okay, we in the north eat dumplings during the holidays."
Shao Qingge said, "What kind of festival is today?"
Xiao Lou thought for a while and said, "Let's think of it as the anniversary of the official establishment of our team. Last time, in order to prepare for the weekly meeting, everyone signed the contract in a hurry, and we didn't have time to celebrate."
Shao Qingge said with a smile, "On an anniversary, of course there must be wine. No wonder you just bought two bottles of red wine in the supermarket. It seems that Professor Xiao is far-sighted and has planned everything long ago."
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Everyone has been tired for so long. It's time to take a break these days. Let's relax tonight and have a good reunion dinner at home. I'll cook a few dishes and eat dumplings as the staple food. People who like drinking can also
You can drink freely."
Qu Wanyue took the initiative to roll up her sleeves and said, "I'll help wash the vegetables."
Long Sen followed up enthusiastically, "I can make noodles. When I was in my hometown, I often made noodles to make dumpling wrappers."
Liu Qiao said, "I can make dumplings."
Ye Qi raised his hand, "I'll help Professor Xiao. I can chop vegetables."
Soon, the kitchen became busy. The large kitchen of the villa can easily accommodate five or six adults. The range hood was started. Xiao Lou, as the chef, was cooking seriously in an apron. Long Sen, Qu Wanyue, Liu Qiao and
Ye Qi was helping wash and cut vegetables.
Yu Hanjiang leaned against the dining table, looking at the busy figure of Xiao Lou who was cooking in the kitchen wearing an apron and seemed to be particularly gentle, making Yu Hanjiang unable to take his eyes away for a moment.
Several plates of simple home-cooked dishes were quickly served on the table, and the aroma filled the restaurant.
Long Sen began to roll out the dumpling wrappers, and the other four people made dumplings. Rows of neat dumplings were placed on the chopping board, which reminded people of the lively Spring Festival Eve dinner.
After the steaming dumplings were cooked, Xiao Lou put two plates in the middle of the table and said, "Everyone, come and eat."
The hungry people hurriedly sat down at the table, almost drooling when looking at the exquisite home-cooked dishes.
Yu Hanjiang took the initiative to raise his glass and said, "Celebrating the establishment of our team, let's have a drink."
Shao Qingge smiled and said, "For such a formal celebration, should we give our team a name?"
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, and Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Let's call the team the Arrow Commando. I hope that when everyone acts, they can be as quick and decisive as the arrow, breaking through all obstacles unstoppably and returning to our true destiny."
Home"
Sharp Arrow Commando, this is the name of the team Lu Jiuchuan formed before. It has the same name as his real-life unit, which means that the entire team can move as sharply as the arrows it shoots.
When they arrive at the Club of Plum Blossoms, their team will meet up with Brother Nine.
When the time comes, the reorganized Arrow Commandos will become the most powerful and united team in history.
Yu Hanjiang took the lead in raising the glass, and the other seven people also stood up and raised their goblets. The crisp sound of clinking glasses echoed in the warmly lit villa. Looking at the table full of home-cooked side dishes and steaming dumplings, everyone's eyes couldn't help but smile.
After Wei Wei came into this world, he felt the warmth of the team for the first time.
Everyone drank the red wine in their glasses, sat down and picked up their chopsticks to eat.
Xiao Lou's voice sounded in Yu Hanjiang's mind: "Captain Yu, if I do this, don't you object?"
The corners of Yu Hanjiang's lips raised slightly, "Of course not, you did a good job."
Xiao Lou explained, "I just hope that the relationship between us is not just teammates who are trying to get through the level, but friends and family who truly care about each other and understand each other. In this way, even if we face the secret room that tests our trust in the future, we don't have to worry about anyone."
The chain will fall off."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "That's right."
Trust is always the cornerstone of a team.
A team that is twisted into a rope and trusts each other, and a group of teams that are put together temporarily just to break through the level, even if there is a huge disparity in strength, it is possible to counterattack.
Compared with serious and cold orders, Xiao Lou's gentle approach will make everyone more convinced of him.
Seeing this warm and harmonious scene, Lao Mo couldn't help but whisper, "I hope that after returning to the real world, everyone can sit together and have a meal like now."
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "I will definitely do it. When the time comes, I will be the host and treat you to a big dinner."
Everyone wrote down this promise, "As agreed, we will go find Professor Xiao together when the time comes."
Although the future is uncertain and the dangers they will face in the future may be beyond their imagination, at this moment, everyone's hearts are full of belief that they will be able to reach the end under the leadership of Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang.
