[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Chong Island is indeed very beautiful. In the north, when the grass and trees are just beginning to turn green and weeds are growing wildly, Chong Island is already midsummer with bright sunshine. Driving from the bridge all the way into the island, there are clusters of flowers and flying swallows everywhere, as if it is heaven on earth.

But it’s probably not very civilized.

For example, slogans can be seen everywhere on the island:
——You have entered the monitoring area, please do not urinate or defecate anywhere.

——The garden is not a fighting arena, the road is not a competition arena, please do not fight
——Roadside fruits and vegetables are privately grown, please do not enable the automatic human picking function

——Attention! Manhole covers cannot be sold as scrap metal! Bicycles cannot be sold as scrap metal! Rebar used in construction cannot be sold as scrap metal!

Shen Bijun and Lin Shiyin had lived for so long, but this was the first time they had seen so many slogans everywhere. However, neither of them cared because the streets were more attractive than the slogans.

The asphalt road is wide and clean, vehicles are moving in an orderly manner, and there is not a single scrapped car parked in the middle of the road. The two of them only learned today that driving requires following basic rules such as "stop at red lights and go at green lights."

It seems that the rumors are true, and the island has indeed returned to its pre-apocalyptic life.

After a while, the vehicle drove into the central block of Chongdao, and after driving for a long time, it finally stopped in front of a row of townhouses, next to a construction site where cranes and cranes were busy.

A man in military uniform got out of the guide car, holding a booklet in one hand and pulling out a large iron box from the car with the other. He found a bunch of numbered keys and handed them to Shen Bijun after confirming that they were correct. "Over there, buildings three and four are yours, with a total of 49 rooms. You can arrange how to live there. If you have any problems, please report to the block staff."

Shen Bijun took the key and was about to say that there were more than sixty people in her group and fifty-nine rooms were not enough. But then she changed her mind and realized that there were many couples in the group. At the very least, if two people with a good relationship could stay in one room, forty-nine rooms would not be a small number.

"Tomorrow the community will arrange for someone to come to your door and ask what jobs you did before the apocalypse. Someone will then arrange for you to work in the corresponding factory area based on this information. Let me make it clear that everyone under 80 years old and over 12 years old need to participate in the labor. Forget about weekends and holidays. It's a special period, so please understand. Anyway, it's definitely better here than outside."

Shen Bijun couldn't think of what kind of job she could do. She could embroider, but she couldn't operate a sewing machine. She probably didn't need to learn music, chess, calligraphy or painting. She wanted to ask a few more questions, but the man didn't want to say much. He just left a message saying that there would be a welcome party for new employees in the district at 8 o'clock in the evening in the auditorium. Remember to attend, and you have to speak on stage as a representative.

Finished talking and left.

"Speak?" Shen Bijun asked.

Guan Minghui is very experienced in this matter: "Don't be nervous, generally we just go there to eat and drink, and everyone gets to know each other. If they ask you to go on stage, just introduce yourself casually and say thank you for your care."

When they heard that there would be food and drinks, everyone waited until the evening with anticipation.

The auditorium was large enough to hold a thousand people, but there were only about three hundred people in the community, so even though the front row of seats was full it still seemed empty.

At eight o'clock in the evening, people gradually gathered in the brightly lit auditorium. Without exception, hundreds of people were playing with their phones, with one or two surprised words uttered from time to time in the harmony:

“I’m connected to the network!”

“It’s just a little stuck.”

"Come, scan the QR code and join our community group and labor group."

At half past eight, a burst of passionate music suddenly rang out in the buzzing auditorium, and a man's voice with a broadcasting voice sounded from the podium:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Next, please welcome the Chairperson of the Ronghua Community Committee, Ms. Gu Fengdeng!"

Two staff members wearing white gloves and black tuxedos appeared from nowhere and opened the door of the auditorium. Two etiquette ladies wearing cheongsams stretched out their hands, made a "please" gesture, and walked forward to the dynamic beat. In the middle was a lady with a permed hair, light makeup, and a slightly plump figure.

The steps were so vigorous.

Guan Minghui lowered her voice and said to Shen Bijun: "Do you think it looks like a WeChat business conference?"

Shen Bijun: "What is WeChat business?"

Guan Minghui said, "Seller, just watch, she's about to speak."

As she expected, Ms. Gu Fengdeng walked up to the podium with a smile on her face and patted the microphone: "First of all, on behalf of the top leaders of Chongdao--" a tactical pause: "Comrade Li Guoqiang, the mayor of Chongdao District and Haishi □□ Tang Shiyong welcomes the new partners to join--"

There was a sudden burst of applause.

"Due to various reasons, the two leaders are unable to come to our community to provide guidance. Next, I will speak briefly on your behalf."

The lecture lasted more than an hour.

Wu Peiqi made a dissatisfied sound: "Didn't you say that the welcome party is just about eating and drinking?"

"It was a bad idea." Guan Minghui said, "But it's understandable. The key point is why didn't they even give us a bottle of water?"

Lin Shiyin held Xiaoyun in her arms and walked out with her back hunched.

"Sister Lin, what are you doing?"

"Xiaoyun needs to go to the bathroom."

"I am coming too!"

The leader is worthy of being a leader. She stood in high heels for more than an hour without any pain in her waist or legs. Her back was straight and she said with a smile on her face, "Okay, now please invite the new representative to come up to the stage and say a few words!"

"Ah, the lady holding the child, I have heard that the leaders of the new survivor team are two beautiful ladies. Yes, in troubled times, we women should strive to be self-reliant. Please come on stage!"

Lin Shiyin was embarrassed on the spot. She looked around and found herself holding the child alone. She looked at Shen Bijun for help. Shen Bijun's eyes were shining and she gave her an encouraging look in return.

Help!

She could feel that everyone's eyes were on her. She didn't know who took the lead, but there was another round of applause, mixed with cheers and applause!
At this moment, Miss Lin only regretted that there was no hole under her feet for her to crawl into!
"It seems that our new representative is still a little shy. Let's give him some more applause to encourage him!"

Lin Shiyin had no choice but to go on stage, her face red as blood.

The microphone was put to her lips.

"Let me introduce myself first."

"...My last name is Lin..." She was startled as soon as she said this. The microphone amplified her voice to the whole audience. Lin Shiyin calmed herself down and used the strong heart she had developed when mediating conflicts in the team. She continued, "Let me invite my companion, Miss Shen Bijun, to come on stage and speak..."

The applause was thunderous.

Shen Bijun had no choice but to go on stage awkwardly.

The two beauties stood on the podium, looking like a pair of bankrupt sisters.

In the next ten long minutes, the two of them were talking nonsense, neither of them knew what they were saying. Guan Minghui even recorded the video. In her words, "Sister Lin and Sister Jun's speeches reminded me of the last three minutes of nonsense when I took the Mandarin exam..." Fortunately, the chairman of the community committee was a professional host and used high-end rhetoric to make things logical. After a long period of torture, the welcome ceremony finally entered the final stage.

“Finally, please ask the staff to present the “Brave Heart, Unremitting Self-improvement” certificates to the brave Ms. Lin and Ms. Shen!”

The grand music sounded again, and outside the venue, a girl in a white puffy skirt, holding two certificates in her hands, twisted left and right, and walked onto the podium on the red carpet.

"It's so touching. Although the little girl is physically disabled, she still drags herself to present the certificate. This is very meaningful!"

"... President, that is Latin dance." The staff behind the scenes reminded.

"...What a graceful dance, like a..." The president paused, and then continued: "Like a pure white rose standing proudly in the wind and rain. How can you see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain? This symbolizes that our newly joined team will definitely move forward proudly in the next journey of life without fear of wind and rain!"

Lin Shiyin and Shen Bijun held the certificate in one hand and had two bunches of flowers hanging around their necks. Under the series of flashes, they were so embarrassed that they almost fainted.

The two of them had never missed Chu Liuxiang so much!

……

"Write a story about the love between one woman and multiple men. The word count is 300,000 or more. The time is 30 days. The reward for completing the task is 1,000 points."

Li Mochou sat on the sofa and enjoyed some tea: "Not bad."

She pondered and said, "At least we have such stories around us."

Lei Chun also felt so. The high-intensity output had almost drained their brains. Later in the story, he basically wandered around various live broadcast rooms and collected materials everywhere.

Who doesn't have a story if they were sent here by the game? There are more than 200 people here, and everyone has a rich life experience.

When she received the invitation to connect, Shi Guanyin was lying in the bathtub, admiring her beauty in the mirror.

The conditions on Insect Star are limited. There are no single rooms, and everyone lives in dormitories - the dormitories are divided based on ABO as the primary gender.

"A group love story?" As a female devil who roams the desert, she placed the emphasis of these six words on the word "group".

"I do have some ideas about this." Shi Guanyin's face flushed, not knowing what weird thing she thought of.

"There is a rumor that there is a Star-Picking Pavilion on the top of the majestic snow-capped mountain in the Western Region. It is said that as long as you walk up the 9,999 steps of the snow-capped mountain, you will see the gods, and the gods will fulfill the wishes of anyone who reaches the top."

"And I am the master of the Star Picking Pavilion."

Li Mochou took out her little notebook and wrote it down word for word, except that she replaced the name of the owner of Zhaixing Tower with her own name.

She said, "Western Region? I heard that there is a mountain in the far west called Mount Everest. No one has ever climbed to the top. I guess this is it. Then what?"

Shi Guanyin said: "Every year, countless people from the martial arts world want to challenge this mountain and enter our Zhaixing Pavilion. Some even bring their own food, water and tents for several months, but they all fail because they have worked so hard to climb up to the 3,000th step. Every step they take feels extremely heavy, making it difficult to breathe. In more serious cases, they may even suffocate to death!"

"The book says this is called altitude sickness, it's normal." Li Mochou shook the pen and said, "Go on."

"Because no one has managed to reach the top, this legend has gradually changed. It is now a test from the gods. The one who reaches the top is the undisputed number one in the world!"

"This rumor attracted the attention of Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng. The two had long wanted to fight to the death, so they decided to have the duel at Mount Everest... what peak?"

“Mount Everest.”

"Yes, the two agreed to duel on Mount Everest."

Li Mochou said, "Let's not talk about whether they are bored or not, what does this love story have to do with it?"

“It will matter from now on.”

Shi Guanyin continued, "When they climbed to the 3,000th step, the people who went to watch the two sword fights could hardly move, but they suddenly felt their bodies extremely light. Everyone else was falling, but they were the only ones floating upwards."

Li Mochou: "...When a person dies, his soul floats upwards?"

"Of course not. After floating up, they saw a majestic palace. The last two people fainted. When they woke up, they were surprised to find that they had been stripped naked and lying on a bed. There were not only the two of them on the bed, but also... Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng, Linghu Chong, Ah Fei... What's the name of the guy next to you?"

Li Mochou said, "The building is full of flowers."

"Yes, and Hua Manlou. They lie on the same bed. As soon as they open their eyes, they see me and are mesmerized by my beauty. I can sleep with whichever one I want."

Li Mochou: "..."

"Why don't you write anymore?"

Before today, Fairy Chi Lian had always thought that there were very few stories in this world that she dared not write about. Today, she finally saw it.

This love story is indeed a bit wild and a bit sloppy.

"You spread this news and attracted a group of people to climb Mount Everest. They were almost dying halfway up the mountain, and then they saw the people around them floating upwards for no apparent reason. After floating up, they thought they could see gods, but in the end, they didn't see any gods, but only saw a pervert?
And sleeping with the same quilt?"

Li Mochou imagined the scene and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Climbing mountains to compete for the best in the world? You can at least have a Huashan Sword Contest or something, and you let them climb Mount Everest? Why don't you just rape them?"

Shi Guanyin was a little annoyed by the laughter: "This is called the style of an immortal. Do you know what style is? Have you ever seen an immortal climb a wall to sleep with a man? Climbing stairs is a test set by the immortals!"

"I'm trying to understand..." Li Mochou wiped away the tears from laughing: "I still don't understand one thing, why is the threshold 3,000 steps? What is the standard of this test?"

Shi Guanyin sighed, "It seems that you still don't understand how important a man's physical strength is. Why do you think some people have a hard time above level 3,000? This is the rule I set. I want to eliminate some ugly people."

...Are the stairs arranged according to appearance?
Those who are not good-looking are not worthy of being the best in the world? This is too much!
"You'd better let Mount Everest go."

Although Li Mochou thought this idea was very strange, it was still of great reference value. She was about to discuss it with her teammates, but when she turned around, she found that Lei Chun was also connecting with someone.
