Chapter 40 Meeting
The final gathering place was set in a private room of a Sichuan hot pot restaurant. Pan Rong, Li Xinjian and others arrived at the store early, and soon other members also arrived one by one.
Hubert took his mobile phone to order food and communicated with Zhao Sicheng on the side: "Gong dishes and crispy pork, these two are must-haves. There are also glutinous rice cakes, ice noodles... They are all the specialties of this store!"
"Okay, I can't tell you know Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot." Zhao Sicheng added the dishes without raising his head and gave him a thumbs up.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Yuanqi couldn't help but look down at the steaming red and white pots on the table, and complained that Ling Yun, a stingy guy, would think of treating everyone to hot pot in such a hot summer.
"The per capita consumption of the Western restaurant you chose is thousands. There are so many of us. Do you want to eat Big Brother Ling?"
Tang Yao entered the room behind Lin Yuanqi. She rolled her eyes at him: "It was my idea to have hot pot, and everyone agreed. Why, it's not to your taste?"
"No, no, no, I love hot pot very much. For parties, it's more lively this way!" After hearing what Tang Yao said, Lin Yuanqi's face immediately changed, and he pulled up a chair with a bright smile and asked where the other party should sit.
Tang Yao did not pay attention to the other party, but walked to Su Li, who had already taken a seat, and said hello to Pan Rong.
The three girls chatted together. Although Su Li didn't say much, she didn't show any impatience or resistance. She listened quietly to Tang Yao and Pan Rong talking, and even responded from time to time.
"Sorry for being late. I'm late!" Under the guidance of the waiter, Wei Chongming rushed into the private room without even having time to take off his helmet. After greeting everyone one by one, he packed up his clothes and found a seat.
sit down.
"You ride a motorcycle too?"
Zhao Sicheng saw him taking off his gloves and couldn't help but chat a few words casually: "I remember someone, Ling Yun is also an enthusiast in this field."
"Yes, yes, the first time I met Brother Ling, I felt very friendly. After returning to the base, I even picked up his car key! Judging from the style, he should be riding a Kawasaki H2. Unfortunately, he told me
The car was damaged in the explosion, and because of the psychological shadow, I don’t want to ride a motorcycle anymore.”
"No wonder." Zhao Sicheng thought thoughtfully: "It seems that the explosion had a big impact on him. At first, based on his appearance, I thought he was a non-mainstream person who likes extreme sports. Now it seems that he is completely different.
People are like good boys who suddenly become good."
Zhao Sicheng's words resonated with the people around him. Su Li picked up the cup and took a sip of water, looking at the door thoughtfully.
Several waiters brought the dishes everyone ordered into the room, and the hot pot started bubbling and bubbling after cooking for a while, and the aroma suddenly filled the whole room. After waiting for a while, everyone inevitably started to feel hungry.
"Speaking of which, why haven't Ling Yun and Brother Shen arrived yet?" Wei Chongming glanced at the time, while Tang Yao opposite picked up the phone and said to everyone: "I sent them a message, Brother Ling said that he and Brother Shen
We have something to do at the moment, so let us eat first. They will be here soon."
After hearing what she said, everyone raised their chopsticks, and for a while, the private room was very lively.
Although we often see each other at the base on weekdays, most of the time we are dressed in combat equipment, simulating battles in the training room, and exchanging experiences with each other. It is indeed a first time to gather together in casual clothes like today and chat about life and gossip like friends.
Once.
About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Ling Yun and Shen Tinglan arrived late. When they saw them walking into the house, Wei Chongming immediately called the waiter and asked her to add two more sets of tableware.
"Why did you two come so slowly?" Zhao Sicheng stuffed meat into his mouth and said without raising his head, "If it were any later, we would have eaten all the food!"
"Sorry, sorry, I just finished dealing with something." Ling Yun was not in a hurry to take a seat. He glanced at Shen Tinglan beside him, who nodded. After receiving the other party's response, Ling Yun cleared his throat and said Everyone said: "Actually, we invite you here today to discuss something important..."
"What's wrong? It's so mysterious." Xiaolong was a little confused.
After Ling Yun finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open again. However, this time it was not a waiter who came in, but a face that was very familiar yet distant to everyone.
Ren Yao was wearing a black hoodie and sweatshirt. After entering the room, he leaned against the wall without saying a word, with his hands folded and his eyes indifferent and cold.
"You brat, is it you?!" Zhao Sicheng slammed the table and stood up without caring about sucking the food in his mouth. Wei Chongming, Xiaolong and Tang Yao also put on guard postures.
"What, are you here to cause trouble?" Wei Chongming frowned: "You are not welcome here."
"Fat man, Chongming, calm down. I asked him to come." Ling Yun's words made everyone present extremely surprised. Except for Lin Yuanqi and Su Li, everyone's expressions looked full of confusion, and they had no idea what Ling Yun was acting. Where.
"Lin Yuanqi, did you say that the treasure hunt game is held every six months? There are still more than ten days before the space will release a new round of treasure hunt games, right?" Ling Yun looked at the other party.
"That's right. Is it possible that... you have convinced Ren Yao?"
Lin Yuanqi's shrewd eyes rolled behind his sunglasses. As cunning as he was, he had already investigated all the powerful players in the space. Naturally, he knew Ren Yao's situation.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuanqi's eyes shifted to Ling Yun and Shen Tinglan. His brain was working rapidly, and he blurted out: "Why, is it possible that you two agreed to help him get an S-level rating?"
"Yes. Now Ren Yao agrees to join the team and sign up for the treasure hunt together. What happened last time was actually a misunderstanding, and there was something wrong with both parties..."
Ling Yun looked at Zhao Sicheng, who was still angry, and briefly explained how Ren Yao's mother died young, his father was bribed after his younger brother died, and he was desperate to kill the enemy alone for revenge.
The most important thing is that, in addition to the murderer of his brother, the players Ren Yao killed in the treasure hunt game were also enemies who intended to snatch his props and kill him. They were not indiscriminate killings of innocent people as everyone thought. And this, Lin Yuanqi also gave confirmation.
"The reason you attacked Fatty in the base was because you scolded his mother. In fact, Ren Yao is really the kind of guy who kills people like crazy. I'm afraid not only Fatty, but also Wei Chongming and the rest of us could not escape death at that time." Ling Yun said.
"He's right. There is a gravity gun worth 500 points in the prop mall. Everyone has used it in simulated battles, right?"
Lin Yuanqi said: "The huge power produced by this gun can instantly crush a medium-sized monster into a pulp. And Ren Yao's superpower also has similar destructive power. Not only that, the proportion of his ability The force gun is wider, and you will see it soon... In short, as Ling Yun said, he did not kill the fat man that day. Although he said so, he probably just wanted to teach him a lesson."
Although everyone has had almost no direct contact with Ren Yao in the past two months, judging from the extent of the damage to the venue every time he left the simulation training room, Lin Yuanqi did not lie.
"Ren Yao really shouldn't insult those fallen comrades. In fact, there are people who can survive to the end, but are willing to sacrifice for the entire team. Without their dedication, we would not be able to stand here unharmed."
Ling Yun patted Ren Yao's shoulder and said: "Success or failure is not enough to determine the strength of others. Shouldn't you also apologize?"
"Although I still can't understand why someone would sacrifice themselves for a group of strangers. But this is their own choice. I take back those offensive words before."
After Ren Yao finished speaking, he added: "But if we don't get the S-level rating this time, this will be our last cooperation."
"The last time I scolded your mother, it was really because I was impulsive and said it without thinking. I don't care about my parents when I scold people. If there is a conflict in the future, I can just scold you." Zhao Sicheng took a sip of wine in a depressed manner, thinking that he didn't do it either.
He should be treated like a little kid.
"Ren Yao's ability is very strong. With everyone's special abilities, he can display even more terrifying strength. So far, he is also the only person in our base who has participated in the treasure hunt game and escaped unscathed."
As Shen Tinglan spoke, he pulled out his seat and said to Ren Yao: "Please describe the content of the mission half a year ago to everyone in detail."
"Let's chat while we eat. Come on, come on. Sit down." Ling Yun pulled Ren Yao over and pressed him to his side.
Chapter completed!
