Chapter 317 Hiding in the Campus (4k)
Zhao Xun stood up, with a smile on his face: "However, I am still very grateful that he thought of me before he died, and the information he gave me was also very useful."
Ajie looked at Zhao Xun who stood up, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
"You should have nothing else to tell me, so I'll leave first." Zhao Xun nodded politely and turned to leave.
Ajie didn't say anything else during the whole process, let alone keep Zhao Xun.
He really didn't have anything else to say to Zhao Xun.
Most of Wu Wei's last words were for him.
There was only one thing that he hoped he could tell Zhao Xun.
Now that the matter has been said, he really doesn't need to talk to Zhao Xun anymore.
He should do his own thing.
Ajie also stood up and left the restaurant in silence.

When Zhao Xun returned to carriage No. 5, he saw Su Tiantian standing in the corridor of the carriage.
Su Tiantian saw Zhao Xun appear, immediately raised a smile, and waved to Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun walked over and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Do you remember what you told me about the 'fake whistle' before?" Su Tiantian didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I found this person."
Zhao Xun remembered that he had indeed mentioned this to Su Tiantian.
The "fake whistle" deceived new players and sold false information to make new players deliberately target old players in the platform game.
However, when he participated in the platform game recently, he didn't encounter the kind of new players who blindly targeted old players.
He almost forgot the existence of the "fake whistle".
"Is this person still alive?" Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Recently, he hadn't encountered any new players who were deceived in the platform game. He thought that the "fake whistle" had died in a certain game, and the deception plan was naturally interrupted.
Now it seems that he didn't encounter the kind of players who were easy to deceive in the platform games he participated in recently.
After all, the "fake whistle"'s deception is not very clever, and it can only deceive players who are not smart enough and are easy to trust others.
This kind of trick is useless against those who are wary and intelligent.
"He's dead." Su Tiantian shrugged nonchalantly, "I killed him."
Zhao Xun became interested: "Where did you meet him? How can you be sure that he is a 'fake whistle'?"
"In the dream game, where else could it be." Su Tiantian did not intend to elaborate, but just explained a few words roughly, "He brought another person into the dream game together - just like you and me at the beginning - but happened to choose the same time as me."
At this point, she snorted and laughed: "It's their bad luck."
Zhao Xun also laughed.
Although he didn't say anything, his expression clearly agreed with Su Tiantian's statement.
"In short, this person specifically picks on those new players who don't have good brains to fool. After fooling them, they will act according to his ideas." At this point, Su Tiantian showed a malicious smile, "This kind of new players, who don't have good brains to begin with, just listen to him and take the initiative to provoke old players, will most likely die. In this way, no one has the opportunity to expose his deception."
"What is his purpose?" Zhao Xun asked.
Su Tiantian tilted her head and thought for a while before answering: "He thinks he can't live too long, and he doesn't have the ability to leave the endless train. Killing more people will reduce his fear of death."
Her eyes showed disdain: "If luck is good, a blind cat meets a dead mouse, and there is really a new player who can kill the old player and survive. Then this kind of player who has a bad brain, listens to him and has strength, is just right for him to use."
"He thinks it's pretty good." Zhao Xun chuckled.
"It's pretty." Su Tiantian tutted twice, with some sarcasm, "The player he brought into the dream game this time was the one who was fooled by him and survived the rookie period by luck. He merged the dream game to kill the other party and snatch the special items."
"The player who was brought into the dream game boarded the endless train in November?" Zhao Xun asked.
"Yes." Su Tiantian nodded.
"He has a bad brain, but he can still live until now. It seems that his special ability is not bad." Zhao Xun commented.
"That's it." Su Tiantian snorted and laughed, "Anyway, he is not as good as me."
After saying that, she raised her chin slightly, with a proud look on her face.
Zhao Xun did not express any opinion on this.
However, looking at Su Tiantian's appearance, the player with a bad brain should have been killed by Su Tiantian.
Although he had some guesses, Zhao Xun did not ask more.
He did not care about the life and death of a person he did not know at all.
"I told you this mainly because I wanted you to know that the fake whistle was dead. After all, you were the first to tell me about this person's existence." Su Tiantian concluded with this sentence and changed the subject, "Also, I want to ask you, do you want to participate in the next round of the platform game?"
"Of course." Zhao Xun answered without any hesitation.
"I knew it." Su Tiantian muttered, but she was not dissatisfied.
"Okay, I have made it clear what I should say and ask." She waved to Zhao Xun, "When the new ranking comes out, I will come to see where you are."
After that, she left without looking back.
Zhao Xun then returned to his box and fell asleep.
He slept until nine o'clock in the evening before waking up.
He ate some of the food in the storage compartment, went to the ordinary restaurant to buy 20 points of food and water as a supplement, and then returned to the compartment to continue sleeping.
He sat up from the bed until the train broadcast sounded.
[The Endless Train will stop at the [Hide and Seek Campus] platform at 1:23 am. Passengers who want to get off please be prepared. ]
Zhao Xun rubbed his face and woke up faster.
Then, he quickly put on his clothes, opened the door of the compartment, and walked out.
No. 2 in the compartment was a little surprised: "He actually went to participate in the platform game again... He fought so hard, is he tired of living, or is he really that strong?"
Can the body and mind really withstand such a high frequency of participating in survival games?
No. 1 and No. 4 did not say anything, No. 2 asked for trouble, turned over, changed his posture and went back to sleep.
Zhao Xun had already walked to the door of the compartment, quietly waiting for the train to stop.
After a while, the broadcast sounded again.
[This train will stop for two days and will depart on time at 12:00 p.m. on December 30. ]
[All passengers who are getting off the train, please be sure to get on the train before 12:00 p.m. on December 30. ]
After that, the carriage door opened.
Zhao Xun walked out quickly.
The moonlight was dim tonight, and the visibility was extremely low due to the white fog.
He could only walk completely by feeling.
However, for the experienced Zhao Xun, this was not a problem.
He skillfully walked through the thick white fog in the dark, without any hesitation or pause.
Soon, he walked out of the white fog area and came to an open space.
He habitually looked into the distance, and there was indeed a school there.
The lights in the school were basically off, and only a few street lights were on at the school gate.
But the light was not bright, and the distance was so far that the name of the school could not be seen clearly.
Soon, the players gathered.
There were 11 people in total.
Including the hip-hop man and the tray-carrying manservant who had passed the previous round.
Well, now we can't call him a serving man.
Zhao Xun looked him up and down.
Let's call him a dog-bitten head.
Who made this player's hair look like it was bitten by a dog?
After the players gathered, a public screen appeared in front of everyone.
[Welcome to the [Hide and Seek Campus] platform game. ]
[This round of the game is divided into two stages. ]
[The first stage starts from now until six in the morning. All players need to work together to complete a collective task. While getting points, they will also get a clearance hint for the second stage of the game. ]
[If the collective task fails, you will still enter the second stage, but you will lose the hint and deduct the corresponding points. ]
[The second stage starts at six in the morning and ends at the end of the game time. The detailed rules will be announced when entering the second stage. ]
[The content of the collective task in the first stage is as follows: ]
[There are 11 number plates with different numbers and five six-pointed star silver medals scattered throughout the school. Players need to find all the number plates and silver medals. ]
[A player can only wear one number plate. How to choose the number is up to the player himself. If there are still players who have not worn their number plates at the end of the first stage, the system will randomly match them with the extra number plates in other players' hands. 】
【A player can have multiple silver medals. Silver medals are not bound to a certain owner and can be snatched. 】
【After the first stage, the ownership of the silver medal will be fixed and it will not be snatched after entering the second stage. 】
【I wish all players a happy game. 】
The public screen disappeared, Zhao Xun's sight flashed, and then he appeared on the school playground.
The other ten players were also here.
This time, the teleportation did not separate everyone.
The moonlight was dim, and it was even difficult for everyone to see each other's faces clearly. For a while, no one spoke.
"Let's act in groups." Zhao Xun took the initiative to speak, "Divide the area, each person finds a place, and gather back to the playground at 5:30 in the morning."
Everyone looked at each other, but no one acted immediately.
Zhao Xun was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "If you have any ideas, please speak up quickly. Wasting time is not good for anyone."
"If you say that everyone is responsible for an area, how can we ensure that others will not leave their posts without permission?" A woman in a bright red down jacket spoke first, "We didn't have any way to contact each other before, and it was difficult to supervise each other."
"As long as you have a little brain, you won't do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit yourself." Zhao Xun said, while scanning the crowd with a smile in his eyes, "Number plates and silver medals are not big things. It takes time and effort to find them. Once you miss an area, you may miss the opportunity to gather them together."
Although everyone didn't speak, they all nodded subconsciously.
Zhao Xun continued: "The time for the first stage is only more than four hours, and the failure of the collective task will deduct points, and you will also lose the clearance tips for the second stage. I think no one wants to see this result?"
Everyone nodded again.
"What about the silver medal?" The woman in the bright red down jacket asked again, "There is no way to distribute it evenly."
Although the other players didn't speak, their bright eyes proved that they were all very concerned about this issue.
This is the fundamental reason why they did not take action immediately.
The scarcity of silver medals and the fact that a player can have multiple of them undoubtedly represent a conflict of interest.
Although the game rules do not clearly state what the silver medal does, everyone has experienced the platform game several times, and can more or less guess that this rare item should play an important role in the second stage.
And it is definitely a benefit, not a disadvantage.
"Whoever finds it will own it." Zhao Xun shrugged, "Of course, if you want to fight for it, I have also reserved the last half an hour. Before six o'clock in the morning, who can grab more silver medals depends on your own ability."
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Zhao Xun's idea cannot be said to be good, but it cannot be said to be bad.
This is indeed the fastest solution to the conflict.
First, work together to find all the number plates and silver medals. This is the most important thing. Only in this way can they get points rewards and clearance tips.
As for whether they can earn more benefits for themselves, they will wait until they gather together and rely on their own abilities.
Those who get the silver medals should hide them with their own abilities to avoid being discovered.
Those who want to grab the silver medals should find and seize them with their own abilities.
In a sense, it is quite fair.
"I agree." The hip-hop man raised his hand. "There is not much time left in the first stage. We must act as soon as possible. If we can't find all the number plates and silver medals, there is not much meaning in discussing the ownership of the silver medal."
"I agree too." Dog-biting head followed up and agreed, "Getting the clearance hint for the second stage is the most important thing."
Perhaps the last sentence played a role, and the other players also expressed their agreement.
"How should the number plates be distributed?" The woman in the bright red down jacket suddenly spoke again, "Different number plates may have different results in the second stage."
"It depends on luck," Zhao Xun shrugged again, "The rules of the second stage of the game will be announced after the number plates are distributed. When the number plates are distributed, the specific rules are not clear, and naturally, it is impossible to choose the number plates that are beneficial to oneself. It all depends on luck."
"Okay, stop talking about these useless nonsense." The man with a short ponytail glared at the woman in the bright red down jacket with some annoyance, "You are the one who has many questions. You have wasted almost ten minutes. If you don't have time to find all the number plates and silver medals later, I will beat you to death!"
The woman's face sank slightly, and she looked at the man with a short ponytail with anger.
"Then start choosing your own area." Zhao Xun interrupted the tense atmosphere. He raised his hand and pointed to the nearest teaching building, "I am responsible for this building."
The other players didn't want to waste time anymore, and they all took the initiative to follow Zhao Xun's rhythm. (End of this chapter)
