Bengtie: A card pool character who gives knives to players

"Could it be that Sambo is hiding something valuable? He's a four-star player after all, so he can't just be a supporting character..."

"But Pella and Silva are not very present at the moment. I only saw them once while casually strolling around."

"Let's just treat it as an unknown foreshadowing for now and leave it alone."

Click on a blank area and the screen will light up again.

Ling Zhou smiled and said, "Thank you, Commander Bronya, for your help. Xing, have you signed your letter of commitment? If you have, I'll take my leave."

Xing spread his hands: "Not yet."

Bronya: "No need."

Ling Zhou: "I suggest you sign it. So many people saw you take us to the police station. A letter of guarantee will at least help you represent yourself to your superiors or to the foreign authorities."

Bronya immediately understood and nodded.

"You're right, Mr. Lingzhou is very thoughtful."

She was not stupid and immediately understood the hidden meaning in Lingzhou's words.

The fact that the outsider was brought to the police station could not be hidden from her mother Cocolia.

There needs to be follow-up results to prevent Cocolia from having more suspicions.

[You casually sign a pledge to 'stop rummaging through city trash cans,' but you don't care.]

[Because you know that this piece of paper has no binding force and cannot stop you from continuing to do great things.]

[Bronya personally escorts you out. Before she leaves, you notice she looks downcast, as if she's preoccupied with something.]

After this period, I thought it was going to be fun, but the plot was actually related to finding the star core, so I didn’t touch the keyboard for the time being.

He glanced at the barrage and was quickly stunned.

"What? This is a hidden plot? Bro, can you please jump on the mic and explain it in detail?"

The words of a certain netizen aroused the curiosity of many people.

Through a brief live broadcast, the audience in Lao Xiong’s live broadcast room realized that what the netizens said was true.

If you don't search through all the trash cans on the map, this plot will not be triggered.

Instead, he will go directly to the Goethe Hotel, have a brief conversation with Lingzhou March 7, and rest until tomorrow.

"Wow, the way to trigger the hidden plot is really unique..."

March 7: "Lingzhou, we're not really leaving, are we?"

Ling Zhou: "Let's go to the place that Cocolia arranged for us to stay first."

San Yue Qi's eyes widened. "She's already sent people to monitor us, and we're still going?!"

① “Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, one still goes there.”

② "We're going because Cocolia is keeping watch."

③ "We're on someone else's territory. We'll be monitored wherever we go."

"It turns out I'm not stupid. I can see things so clearly."

"Not bad, not bad. The sense of immersion is a bit stronger."

Entering the Goethe Hotel, the three members of the train crew are in the same room.

"March Seven is sitting on the bed... should it be her room?"

After muttering something casually, Lao Xiong focused his attention on the plot.

Enter the cutscene.

Just as San Yueqi was about to say something, Ling Zhou covered his mouth.

He raised his hand to keep quiet and only let go when March Seven nodded.

Under the gaze of two girls, one in gray and one in pink, Ling Zhou quickly spread out his palms.

An invisible breeze quietly spread around, gently ruffling their hair.

The wind penetrates every pore and penetrates into the gaps between various indoor furnishings to detect abnormalities.

A few seconds passed, and an inexplicable smile crossed Lingzhou's face.

He took out a strange box and opened it, and a suction force burst out from his palm.

The pen on the desk not far away was sucked over.

Lingzhou put the pen into the box and threw it aside.

"Eavesdropping is immoral. That Great Guardian is even less kind than Zanbo."

March 7: "That pen is... a recorder?"

Ling Zhou: "Strictly speaking, it's a monitor, because it's a small microphone."

"If you leave it alone, any movement in the room will be heard by the people on the other side."

Sanyueqi's expression fell. "That's too despicable... Do you have that in your room too?"

Xing sneered, "Hmph, that's pretty close. Even our lovely and innocent March is being monitored. How tasteless."

San Yue Qi said angrily, "That's right!"

Ling Zhou: "...the 'innocence' she mentioned probably means you're a little fool."

"You want to be elbowed by a beautiful girl again, huh?!"

March 7th raised his eyebrows and stood with his hands on his hips.

Xing coughed dryly, "Let's talk business. Let's talk about the information we've gathered. I'll go first."

She thought for a moment, then spoke with a serious face.

"My information is—I didn't collect any information at all."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Sanyue rolled her eyes, unable to respond.

March 7: "I knew you couldn't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth!"

Xing: "What about you?"

"I-I, well, I don't think I've found any valuable clues..."

San Yueqi's face was full of guilt.

[What a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, how happy.]

Lingzhou feels like an old father, worrying about his two children.

[No problem, my adoptive father is still my father. By the way, how did you know I just received 1600 Xingqiong from him?]

【? ? ? 】

[The one in front, Dynasty, please come immediately! ]

[We were chatting happily, when suddenly a dog started barking?]

[No matter how big a matter it is, no one knows a son better than his father.]

Lingzhou sighed.

"I'll just talk about something valuable."

"First of all, don't you think that Ms. Sylva looks very similar to Jeppard?"

Xing pondered, "I didn't think much about it before, but now that you mention it, it does look alike."

March 7: "Brother and sister? Or sister and brother?"

Ling Zhou: "That's not important. What's important is that she addressed Cocolia by her first name, and her tone wasn't particularly respectful. That's worth noting."

"Secondly, through communication with Shiluwa, we can at least know that the energy used to heat this city does not come from the star core."

"The heating energy comes from a mineral called earth marrow, mined in the lower regions."

"Logically speaking, since the lower region produces such important energy, its connection with the upper region must be extremely close."

"But realistically, think about what Shiluwa said."

Chapter 26 A Play

"Shiluwa said that due to an order issued many years ago, the communication between the upper and lower districts was cut off."

"This is clearly unusual. Perhaps it's an attempt to conceal something that exists in the lower levels..."

Hearing this, Xing and Sanyueqi said two words at the same time.

"Star core?!"

Lingzhou snapped his fingers.

"Even if it's not a star core, there's a high probability we can find related clues."

"While searching through the trash cans on Xing Si, I secretly kept an eye on the way to the lower level, but the results were not satisfactory."

"It seems the citizens of the upper district have only heard of the existence of the lower district, and have no idea how to get there."

"This means that the location leading to the lower district must be heavily guarded."

Xing fell into deep thought and made a guess.

"Jepard and Bronya, maybe you know how to get to the lower area?"

Ling Zhou: "Those in high positions cannot be unaware of this, but they may not have the authority to go down."

"In someone else's territory, our every move is under surveillance. Even if they're not, we can't ask casually."

Xing: "I know what you mean. We are outsiders to the locals..."

"Asking about sensitive matters will inevitably arouse their vigilance and attract unnecessary attention."

"Smart." Lingzhou praised softly.

March 7: "Then won't we be like headless flies, hiding here and there in the dark searching for something?"

The atmosphere became silent.

The identity of an interstellar businessman has attracted the attention of local leaders.

If he had stated his purpose clearly, and Cocolia had already known about the existence of the star core, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The option that has disappeared for a long time finally appears at the bottom right corner of the player's screen.

① “It turns out that opening up a new world is so nerve-wracking and tiring.”

② “We are restricted everywhere. What should we do next?”

③ "Let's just go all out and take Cocolia hostage to lead the way."

"Choosing three isn't sensible. How can you find a star core with a time bomb?"

Lao Xiong clicked option 2 without any hesitation.

If the screenwriter does not list an action plan for the players, then the most practical thing to do is to honestly seek the opinions of the team leader.

Lingzhou repeatedly emphasizes that he is reliable.

The plot has been pushed to this point and can be said to be worthy of its name.

The brain is online, calm and thoughtful.

If he is not reliable, who is reliable?

"Remember what Cocolia said? Someone will come to invite us tomorrow at noon to discuss business cooperation."

Lingzhou's lips curled up, revealing an intriguing expression.

March 7: "Remember, what?"

Ling Zhou: "Let's do a simple play to see whether it's the messenger or the Silver Mane Guard who comes to pick us up tomorrow."

Xing became more energetic and looked interested.

"What play?"

"Simple. Let's just talk about the fact that the lower areas have been sealed off for years and that the star core is likely there."
