Chapter 9
Chapter 9
The frozen atmosphere between Ruan Zemiao and Xiang Ming didn't show a crack until Diao Shishi reappeared in the living room.
"Mr. He, can you ask Su Si to eat? We don't know him very well... She is not easy to deal with..." Diao Shishi walked into the living room and first said to He Dongsheng.
"The child Su Si... okay, I'll call her." He Dongsheng said, and left the living room.
Then Diao Shishi looked at Ruan Zemiao and Xiang Ming, always feeling weird between them.
"It's time to eat, let's go." He tried to keep a normal tone and said.
"Okay, let's go Shishi." Ruan Zemiao stood up first, stretched out his arms to wrap Diao Shishi's shoulders, and walked towards the restaurant.
Don't worry, brother!There is another person on the sofa!
Under the duress of Ruan Zemiao, Diao Shishi took a lot of effort to stop and turned to look at Xiang Ming.
Seeing Xiang Ming standing up unhurriedly, he smiled at him, "Okay."
Then the two long legs took two or three steps and passed Diao Shishi and Ruan Zemiao, and then said lightly, "Are you hungry after eating?"
Without waiting for an answer, he walked straight ahead.
Diao Shi always thought that Xiang Ming's words were not meant for him.
Because he heard the grinding of teeth from the people around him.
Who will interpret the current plot for me? I'm waiting online.
Did the game start before I knew it?
Otherwise, why do I feel that the people around me have already started fighting?
The ice surface between Ruan Zemiao and Xiang Ming cracked, and the coldness of the icy water stung the soul of the innocent Diao Shiyi.
Passing by Aiwen's room, Ruan Zemiao knocked on the door, and Aiwen's response came from inside the door: "Okay, here we come."
Aiwen's clever response made Ruan Zemiao calm down a little, and then he calmed down and asked the innocent people in a normal tone: "Why haven't you seen the horsepower? Did you call him?"
horsepower?
Diao Shishi frowned and thought for a while before remembering that there was another person, who seemed to be his neighbor...
"No..." he said.
"Then let me call." Ruan Zemiao remembered that Ma Li's room was on the east side of the first floor, which happened to be not far away, so he let go of Diao Shishi and walked towards Ma Li's room.
After knocking on the door, it took a while for Ma Li to open the door.
Ruan Zemiao felt that she was blinded... blinded by Ma Li's shiny head.
Mali should have taken a shower and put on the clean clothes provided by the organizer. The messy strands of hair on his head were gone. Presumably, he always felt that it was not clean when he was in the shower, so he simply shaved it off.The beard is also shaved clean, probably due to not being able to eat enough all the year round, his cheeks are a little sunken, and he didn't feel it when he was full of messy hair and beard before, but now his head and face are clean. Also a little fierce.
Being stared at by such a person with no expression on his face, Ruan Zemiao couldn't speak for a while.
"What's the matter?" Ma Li spoke first, and he shrank his shoulders unconsciously when he spoke. His voice was not low, but he really couldn't hear any confidence.
The surrounding aura suddenly changed, and Ruan Zemiao no longer felt any pressure.
"Well, Brother Ma, it's time to eat." He thought for a while, and still used a more respectful title.
Ma Li was a little puzzled, "What?"
"Sister Jiashu made lunch, let me come over and ask you to eat." Ruan Zemiao explained.
Ma Li took half a step back imperceptibly, and the doubt in his eyes dissipated, replaced by shock.
"Shall I... go too?" he asked.
"Of course, it's also for 9 people."
Ruan Zemiao suddenly understood the reason why Ma Li was so hesitant to come over for a meal, and he sighed in his heart when he remembered the situation when Ma Li introduced himself.
But he can only sigh, he can't help Ma Li, he can't rewrite Ma Li's experience, and he doesn't have the heart to do these meaningless good things, after all, it's hard for anyone to protect themselves now.
Most people are willing to give kindness, but there is a premise for a larger part of people to give kindness, and the premise is that such kindness will not hinder their own interests.
"Let's go, let's have a meal together so we can learn about it. I don't think you have eaten breakfast, so you're hungry." Ruan Zemiao didn't give Ma Li time to think, and such a sentence without room for thought might be more suitable for the current situation.
Sure enough, Ma Li hesitated for a few seconds and followed Ruan Zemiao.
Ruan Zemiao heard his voice as thin as a mosquito: "I'm used to it."
Not knowing whether to tell him or herself, Ruan Zemiao walked forward in silence without answering.
Except for Su Si, everyone else had already arrived and sat down. Diao Shishi greeted Ruan Zemiao and Ma Li to sit down. Everyone seemed to sit in the order of their numbers. .
Unlike the expected exchange of information or even forming cliques, no one talked much during the meal except for compliments on the dishes.
Ruan Zemiao didn't think this was a good sign.
In this kind of closed game, no matter whether it is a single-player battle or not, information and team formation are two very important elements. If everyone communicates publicly, they can still control some situations. If it is private...
In a game, the terrible thing is not that the opponent is strong, but that you don't know whether the opponent is strong or not.
After a simple lunch, some people went to the living room to continue watching high-definition movies, some went to the terrace on the second floor to drink afternoon tea, some read books they were interested in from the bookshelf, and some went back to their rooms to stay.
Generally speaking, most people chose to stay in their rooms, and Ruan Zemiao was no exception.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking out the window at the supposedly decompressed green, the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became.
Somewhat disturbed.
I don't know what the content of the first game tomorrow will be.
After all, it is still a reward of 5000 million, and it will not be easy to think about it.
But why did you choose yourself?Or why did you choose these 9 people?
5000 million is a huge attraction to anyone, even Ivan, Luo Manshan, and Xiang Ming who look rich can't escape this huge attraction.
What is the reason why 9 of them stood out and were selected?
There is a one-ninth chance of being able to take away 5000 million. This kind of luck is not much different from winning the lottery.
Can't figure it out.
At the same time, this is still a punishing game, 0141 said to take risks, but compared with the huge prize money, what's the big deal about being "re-educated".
And what is the point of this game?
Spend so much money and energy to organize such a competition just to send suitable talents to the community?
But this game isn't even community sponsored!
Can't figure it out.
Most disturbing of all, spacetime.
While the time here passes normally, the time of the community is stagnant.
The community has developed to this day, and the theory of time-space interlacing has been confirmed, but the community government only allows research on this phenomenon, never permits practice, and even most of the papers are password-locked to prevent the public and most researchers from reading.
So where did this organization that can autonomously cross time and space come from?
Can't figure it out.
Just when Ruan Zemiao guessed the power behind the game organizer, the bracelet suddenly vibrated.
He trembled with fright.
The bracelet shows that a new message has been received.
What is the organizer going to do again?
Ruan Zemiao frowned and swiped away from the screen, only to find that it was a private message.
Sender: Xiang Ming.
let's talk.
After Xiang Ming only said these four words, Ruan Zemiao snorted softly and was not ready to reply.
The next second, the bracelet vibrated again.
Still Xiang Ming.
Xiang Ming: Don't be emotional.
Ruan Zemiao was really angry. He stretched out his hand to tear off the bracelet, but suddenly realized the three-second warning. Less than a second after he took off the bracelet, it pressed against his wrist skin again, watching the red exclamation mark on the screen disappear. Finally, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly put the bracelet back on and adjusted its position.
Xiang Ming's third message was sent at this time.
Xiang Ming: Now that there is no one in the gym, come over, I think we need to talk, remember to change into sportswear.
Before Ruan Zemiao had time to send the next message with a disgusted expression.
Xiang Ming: Okay?May I?It won't take much of your time.
This time Ruan Zemiao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
You must know that in his limited memory of getting along with Xiang Ming, the memory of Xiang Ming talking to him in such an obvious tone of discussion is extremely rare.
Is this trying to win over yourself?
Ruan Zemiao thought to himself.
But no matter how you think about it, you should win Xiang Ming by yourself. Xiang Ming is the dominant player in this game.
Otherwise, could it be that I have some great advantages that I don't even know about, making peacocks like Xiang Ming bow their heads to me?
After thinking about it, Ruan Zemiao began to dream.
Standing up from the bed, Ruan Zemiao went to the bathroom to wash his face, and went to the wardrobe to find a set of sportswear to change into.
It is understandable for Xiang Ming to make this request.
Now everyone is on guard against each other, suddenly seeing two people communicating in private will definitely feel suspicious, which is why Xiang Ming doesn't talk to Ruan Zemiao in either of them's room.
But what I’m going to say next is not suitable for public places after all, so the gymnasium and meeting rooms on the first floor are the more private spaces.
Conference rooms can also be suspicious.
The best option is the gym, and it is necessary to fake the illusion that both of them are going to exercise, so as not to suddenly appear a third person.
Still somewhat intelligent, Ruan Zemiao reluctantly affirmed Xiang Ming's choice of venue in his heart, and finally decided to meet Xiang Ming.
And no matter what, Xiang Ming was the only person he had interacted with in the community before the game started.
Although the result of the intersection is that Ruan Zemiao wants to be the first to kill Xiang Ming in the game, and let this person go back to the furnace and rebuild it.
Thinking all the way, Ruan Zemiao suddenly turned back when he was about to walk out of the room with his hands on the doorknob.
I found the hairspray prepared by the organizer under the cabinet of the bathroom mirror, scratched it casually on my head twice, looked in the mirror to confirm that I was in good condition, then straightened my clothes and hung them around my neck Put the towel on, blink at yourself in the mirror, and go out again.
