【, Convergence】

After the three of them returned to Peach Blossom Spring, they sat under a tree to rest and discuss countermeasures.

From Xue Mingyue’s words, we can learn that there are tens of millions of natives and challengers in the Moon City. This city is larger than the capital of the earth era. If you want to find two people in such a big city,

It's not easy personally.

Xue Mingyue's approach inspired Xiao Lou: "How about we go to the train station and broadcast directly to find someone?"

Liu Qiao nodded in agreement: "You can try it."

The three of them came out of Peach Blossom Spring and took a taxi directly to Moon City Railway Station.

Different from the tree-shaped buildings of the airport, the shape of the train station is more like a blooming flower. The green leaves on the first floor are the arrivals floor, and the flower part on the second floor is the departure hall. The emerald green leaves are matched with light blue flowers.

The whole station looks very recognizable.

There are more pedestrians here than at the airport, and travelers coming and going can hardly tell the difference between challengers and locals just by looking at them.

The three of them in Xiao Lou took the escalator to the arrivals level side by side. They were about to go to the information desk to find the radio. Suddenly, a middle-aged man came towards the three of them and asked with a smile: "You three, can you stay here? I can help you."

Find a hotel.”

Yu Hanjiang looked at him warily: "No need?"

The man came over and whispered: "I also provide consulting services for challengers."

When Xiao Lou heard this, he couldn't help but wonder - how could this man tell that they were challengers just from their appearance? Could it be that the word "challenger" was written on their faces?

Seemingly sensing his doubts, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "You must be newbies who have just arrived in Moon City. You don't bring any luggage. Am I right?"

Xiao Lou looked around and found that the passengers coming and going were indeed carrying luggage. Some were dragging suitcases, some were carrying travel bags, and some white-collar workers were carrying briefcases in their hands - but the three of them had empty hands.

It certainly doesn't look like a passenger going to take a train.

Xiao Lou said: "We are going to pick someone up."

The middle-aged man said: "To pick up people, you should take the side arrival passage, not this way."

Being exposed by his words, Xiao Lou could only smile helplessly: "Okay, what do you want from us?"

The middle-aged man said: "The challengers who just came here are empty-handed just like you. They have nothing but cards." Facing Yu Hanjiang's cold and sharp gaze, the man immediately waved his hand: "I don't mean any harm, I'm just moving the car.

The station looks for newbies and provides consulting services. This is also a way to support the family. Life is difficult in the card world!"

He looked sincere and said, "I have an old man and a young man, so it is not easy to support a family." He said: "If you have any questions, you can ask me for advice. For example, which hotel has a good and cheap environment, and which food is delicious and affordable?"

, which agency should you use to rent a house? If you need a one-day trip to Moon City, I can also help you contact a travel agency."

He looked at Xiao Lou with a smile on his face: "My fee is not high. You only need to pay after you get a satisfactory answer for a question. If you are not satisfied, you will be refunded. I only charge a consultation fee of 5,000 gold coins for each question, which is equivalent to RMB 50.

Block. By the way, you can call me Lao Mo, this is my business card."

Xiao Lou: "..."

This guy is quite talented, he actually thought of making money in this way.

However, the challengers who have just arrived in the Moon City really don’t understand anything. They are wandering around like headless flies. They can easily be deceived and tricked. If they accidentally live in a house opened by free people who hate them like the financial crisis,

A "black shop" where money may be stolen, and lives may even be lost.

Find an insider for consultation, and the fee of 50 yuan is not expensive.

I just don’t know if this old Mo is trustworthy? Xiao Lou lowered his head and looked at his business card——

Mo Xuemin, 40 years old, designer of Xinxin Decoration Company, consultation hotline: 0099-86590876.

Yu Hanjiang simply took out 10,000 gold coins from his pocket and said: "Two questions, if you can really answer them, I will give you these 10,000 gold coins. The first one, how to contact the Intelligence Bureau?"

Lao Mo was startled: "You are quite well-informed. Did you know about the Intelligence Bureau when you first came here?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "Do you know how to contact me?"

The man smiled and touched his nose and said: "The Intelligence Bureau is very mysterious. Their boss has never appeared on any occasion. Everyone only knows his surname is Tang and everyone calls him Mr. Tang. No one knows where the Intelligence Bureau headquarters is, but

There are four branches in the City of Moon and City of Sun."

He came over mysteriously and lowered his voice: "The facades of these four branches all have big signs saying 'Tang's Welfare Lottery'. They are located in the city center. On the surface, they sell lottery tickets, but in fact they are in the card world.

People don’t understand lottery at all. These lottery stores are only open on Wednesdays. You can wait until the tickets are released on Wednesday and go to any branch to contact them.”

Yu Hanjiang had interrogated so many prisoners, and this man didn't look like he was lying from his expression to his eyes. He dared to look him in the eyes when he answered questions, and his attitude was sincere. Yu Hanjiang temporarily believed his answer and gave him 10,000 gold coins.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Hanjiang asked again: "Do you know the Challenger Association? Give us a brief introduction."

The middle-aged man picked up the gold coins and said seriously: "Among the challengers, the largest association is called [Eternal Kingdom], and its headquarters is in the City of Sun. Their purpose is to live happily in the card world, and they only deal with the weekly work.

Often, if they don’t continue to break through, some of them are marrying local residents and having children, and almost all of them have lived a happy life with cars and houses.”

"The second largest association is [Distant Association], with the ultimate goal of returning to the real world. The president's codename is Lao Gui, who is a calligrapher. He requires members to keep a distance from the residents of the card world, stick to their true intentions, and don't be

Assimilation here.”

"The third largest association is called [Luoying Pavilion]. It only accepts female challengers. The president is a very powerful woman. It is said that she killed everyone who messed with her." When he said this, he suddenly paused and said: "

I think of ways to make money, just to save more money for the next Plum Blossom Secret Room... Sigh, I have to do the weekly routine and continue the next secret room, it's really more tiring than going to work."

Xiao Lou asked curiously: "Why do you have to go back?"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Lao Mo's eyes. He lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "When my accident happened, my daughter had just been admitted to a key middle school. She lost her mother when she was ten years old. She can't lose her father again. She will take the college entrance examination alone in the future.

Are you going to get married alone?"

The three of them fell silent immediately.

This man is indeed very sincere and earns income by selling information. In fact, his approach is similar to that of the Intelligence Bureau, except that he is very weak on his own and can only find newcomers who have just arrived in Moon City to sell everyone some daily life-related information.

information.

Liu Qiao said: "Uncle, if you want to go back so much, have you joined the Faraway Association?"

Lao Mo smiled bitterly and said: "No, the recruitment requirements of the Yuanfang Association are very strict. You must have more than 2 S cards to be eligible to join. Until now, most of the secret rooms I have passed have been rated A. I have a bunch of A cards in my hand.

I’ve never drawn an S card.”

Xiao Lou was startled. No wonder the Yuanfang Association directly invited him and Yu Hanjiang, because they broke the world record for the 3 and 4 secret rooms of hearts. They must have passed the level with an S rating. There is no doubt that they have more than two S cards.

Yu Hanjiang grasped the key point in Lao Mo's words and asked: "What do you mean by what you just said? Hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs, all four types of secret rooms, you passed with an A rating?"

Lao Mo said: "Yes, but I can't get an S rating, alas."

Xiao Lou reacted suddenly when he heard this.

This Lao Mo is actually very good. He is like some students. He has no subjects that he is particularly good at or particularly bad at. It sounds quite average, but if he can get excellent results in all subjects, then the total score will be higher than

Students who specialize in subjects have even more advantages!

What does this mean? The man in front of me is at least smart and knowledgeable.

Xiao Lou was immediately interested in him and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo, can I ask you what you do in the real world? Of course, this involves your personal life, so it doesn't matter if you don't answer."

Lao Mo smiled and said: "I worked in sales when I was young. After I made enough money, I opened a decoration company. In this world, I also work part-time as a designer for Xinxin Decoration Company. If you buy a house in the future and need design, you can

Find me and get a 20% discount!"

Xiao Lou's eyes lit up. His sales eloquence was indeed not bad. No wonder even Captain Yu was impressed by his few words and asked him to buy information. The decoration company involves a lot of space design, so this old Mo must have a strong sense of space.

It is no coincidence that all the Secret Rooms rated "A". His age of over forty has left traces of time on his face and has given him extremely rich experience.

What's more, he has his daughter in his heart and his determination to go back cannot be shaken.

Yu Hanjiang happily handed him the gold coin and said, "Thank you."

Mo Xuemin smiled and waved: "You're welcome. I wish you all good luck. If you have any questions, you can come back to me."

He turned around and left, then stopped a couple coming down the escalator and diligently promoted his business of "selling information."

Seeing him working so hard, Xiao Lou felt a little sad for a moment.

Liu Qiao sighed softly and said: "I can understand his mood of wanting to go back. My father also loves me and my sister very much. I can see that Lao Mo misses his daughter very much. As a father, he must not worry about leaving his daughter alone."

Leave."

He shamelessly blocks newcomers in this world and makes money by selling information. He must have a lot of income at the end of the day. He has a flexible mind as a sales person. Xiao Lou actually admires him in his heart.

It is not easy to stick to your original intention.

Yu Hanjiang saw Xiao Lou stuffing his business card into his pocket and asked, "You keep his business card because you want to continue to contact him in the future?"

Xiao Lou smiled and said: "There are many people who can be added after the contract is upgraded. I will keep it for now. I will see the situation later. I think Lao Mo is a good person, and his strength is not bad in all the secret rooms. You can consider it."

Liu Qiao actually felt that Lao Mo was very kind and sincere, much like her father. Unfortunately, because he did not have two S-cards, the Yuanfang Association refused to accept him, so he could only find a way to make a living here alone.

If Professor Xiao and Captain Yu were willing to accept Lao Mo, she would be in favor.

Yu Hanjiang rarely objected to Xiao Lou's decision. He nodded when he heard this: "Well, I remember that the high-level contract can form a maximum of 15 people. First find Mr. Shao and Ye Qi, and then ask Lao Mo to find out the weekly tasks.

And for the subsequent secret rooms, if conditions permit, we will add more reliable people to enhance the capabilities of our team."

Xiao Lou smiled and said: "Okay, let's go find Mr. Shao and Ye Qi."

The three of them walked to the information desk, and Xiao Lou politely said to the beautiful woman at the information desk: "Hello, can you help us broadcast the news? We got separated from two friends from out of town, and we haven't been able to find them."

The beauty said: "Okay, sir, please write down the content you want to broadcast on this form."
