Chapter 318 The First Stage of Collective Mission (4k)
Soon, everyone chose their own areas and spread out.
This should be a high school, with teaching buildings, dormitory buildings, canteens, teacher office buildings, library buildings, etc., a total of ten buildings, exactly ten players each responsible for one building.
The remaining player is responsible for the outdoor space.
Including the playground, security room, roads between teaching buildings, gardens, etc.
Zhao Xun chose one of the teaching buildings.
After he entered the first classroom on the first floor, he tried to press the switch by the door, and the ceiling light immediately lit up.
Fortunately, it was much easier than searching in the dark.
Zhao Xun summoned five primates, orangutans, baboons, squirrel monkeys, hanging monkeys and pygmy marmosets.
The first two were large in size, and they searched most of the place with Zhao Xun, and the three small ones behind them were specifically searching above the ceiling and some narrow spaces.
Five primates plus a human, working together tacitly, can quickly search a classroom.
Zhao Xun searched one room after another, from the first floor to the second floor and then to the third floor.
Finally, a number plate was found in the water tank of the public toilet on the third floor.
It was a very ordinary white background with black letters, made of cotton cloth, and the number 10.
Zhao Xun tried it and confirmed that it could not be put into the storage compartment. He removed the plastic bag outside the number plate, wiped the water off his hands, and then stuffed the dry number plate into his coat pocket and zipped the pocket tightly.
Then, he continued to search in order with the five primates.
"What does the silver plate look like?" The orangutan couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere, but Zhao Xun told him not to speak casually, so it asked Zhao Xun in his mind, "Round or square? There is no reference to the map, what if I find the wrong one?"
"Just take them all." Zhao Xun had obviously thought about this a long time ago.
Whether there are fake silver plates or not, as long as you see something that looks like a "silver plate", pack it all.
There is no loss if you find too much, but you may miss the real one if you take too little.
What to do is obvious.
"Is this it?" The pygmy marmoset was hanging on the top of the curtain, with one of its front paws struggling to hold a silver metal plate the size of a coin.
Zhao Xun walked under the pygmy marmoset and stretched out an arm.
The pygmy marmoset immediately bit the silver coin with its mouth and jumped onto Zhao Xun's hand with all its limbs.
Zhao Xun rubbed the pygmy marmoset's head with one hand and took the silver coin with the other hand to take a closer look.
There was no pattern or number, just a simple and plain pure silver metal.
There was no system prompt in front of him, and he couldn't be sure whether this was the silver plate he was looking for.
He looked over and over again, and then he noticed a small hexagram pattern on the side.
"That's it." Zhao Xun said, stuffed it into his coat pocket, and then said to the pygmy marmoset, "Continue."
The pygmy marmoset obediently jumped back onto the curtain from Zhao Xun's hand and began to search the area he had not searched before.
He searched all the way to the sixth floor, but there was no new gain.
And this teaching building only has six floors in total.
"You've searched all of this," the gorilla turned to look at Zhao Xun, and spoke to Zhao Xun again in his mind, "It seems that you can only get a number plate and a silver medal."
"That may not be the case." Zhao Xun said as he walked up the stairs to the top.
There is another platform here, with a "manhole" on top, but there is no ladder to assist in going up, and the cover is closed and locked.
But this is not difficult for Zhao Xun at all.
He raised his hand and used [Control Gold] to decompose and reorganize the metal cover, and finally turned it into a ladder.
Not only did it solve the problem of the cover blocking, but it also solved the problem of the ladder.
Of course, he didn't use the ladder for himself.
Zhao Xun turned into a sparrow and flew up to the roof quickly.
Behind him, five primates quickly climbed up with the ladder.
The roof area is not small, but there are no buildings, only some weeds half a person tall, and some mud.
It seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time.
Without Zhao Xun's request, the primates spontaneously dispersed and began a carpet search.
Zhao Xun took out a flashlight from the storage compartment and was responsible for lighting them.
They quickly searched every gap on the roof, but found nothing.
Zhao Xun was not discouraged. He first took back the five primates, then turned into a sparrow and flew to the roofs of other buildings, and then released the five primates to continue searching on the roofs.
Although each player has divided different areas, other players may not think of the rooftop, and even if they think of it, it may not be as convenient as his.
And the search speed of other players is definitely not as fast as his. By the time he has searched all the rooftops of the buildings, other players may not have finished searching the interior of the buildings.
There is no need to worry about conflicts.
Zhao Xun did not care whether he would be noticed by other players, so he did not light up the lights in a sneaky way.
After searching the rooftops of all ten buildings, the squirrel monkey finally found a silver medal on the rooftop of the library.
Zhao Xun looked at the silver medal, which was exactly the same as the one found by the pygmy marmoset before, and there was also a small six-pointed star pattern on the side.
He put the two silver medals into the inner pocket of his coat, and then took back the five primates.
Then, he took out his mobile phone and took a look. It was 5:03 in the morning.
It’s not long until the gathering time.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Xun turned into a sparrow and flew downstairs, then turned back into a human and wandered between the buildings.
While wandering, he shouted: "It’s not long until the end of the first stage. If any player feels that he can’t find the remaining areas before the time is up, please speak up and I will help."
He didn’t want to miss the rewards of the first stage because other players didn’t find all the places and missed a number plate or silver medal.
Even if other players have selfish motives, they should consider this.
What is more important, there is always consideration in the heart.
Zhao Xun said it once, and it would be said again in half a minute. Just like that, when he said it for the fourth time, a player finally asked Zhao Xun for help.
Zhao Xun followed the sound and soon saw a figure lying on the fourth floor of the dormitory building.
The light was too dim, and he couldn’t see the other person’s appearance clearly.
But the voice sounded familiar, it was a hip-hop man.
Seeing Zhao Xun really coming over, the hip-hop man hurriedly said: "I definitely can't search the rest of the area by myself, please help me!"
Zhao Xun didn't say anything, but quickly turned into a sparrow and flew to the side of the hip-hop man before turning back into human form.
The hip-hop man stared at Zhao Xun for two seconds and quickly came back to his senses.
In the last round of the game, he had already determined that Zhao Xun was an old player and had seen that Zhao Xun had multiple abilities. Seeing Zhao Xun suddenly turn into a little sparrow, he was only briefly surprised and quickly adapted.
"There are still two dormitories on the fourth floor that have not been searched, and the fifth and sixth floors have not been searched yet." He took the initiative to tell Zhao Xun about the current situation.
When he first assigned the search area, he quickly and anxiously chose the dormitory building, fearing that others would snatch it from him.
He thought that there were many places to hide things in the dormitory building, and there was a higher probability of finding the number plate and silver medal.
In fact, he did find two number plates and a silver medal, which was a good harvest.
But he still overestimated his search speed.
At this rate, he could only finish searching the fifth floor before six in the morning, and the sixth floor would definitely be too late.
In fact, when he searched the fourth floor, he had the idea of asking for help.
But other players were busy in their own areas, who had time to help him?
He could only bite the bullet and continue to work, and also tried to speed up his progress.
But there were too many miscellaneous things in the dormitory, and he couldn't just search roughly, so the progress was still not much faster.
When he heard Zhao Xun's voice and heard clearly that Zhao Xun was willing to help, the hip-hop man was even a little excited.
Even if the things found later could only be given to Zhao Xun, it was better than not being able to complete the first stage of the task.
Failure of the task would deduct points!
Zhao Xun said "hmm" and took out [Primate Blessing] again.
This time, he summoned all ten primates and asked them to divide into two groups according to their size. In each group, a large one was responsible for searching the whole, and a small one was responsible for searching the details.
The two groups entered the remaining two dormitories on the fourth floor and searched in an orderly manner.
The dormitory lights could be turned on, so Zhao Xun didn't need to help with the lighting.
Zhao Xun turned his head to look at the stunned hip-hop man and showed a warm smile: "Let's go, the two of us will go to the fifth floor first."
The hip-hop man came back to his senses.
He responded repeatedly and followed Zhao Xun up to the fifth floor.
He looked at Zhao Xun's blurred back in the dark and really felt that he was out of reach.
Every time he came into contact with him, Zhao Xun could show something new.
And the hip-hop man himself, so far, only has one special ability.
Although he has heard of the existence of special items, he has never obtained any.
Compared with Zhao Xun, the gap is really too big.
He even felt that even if he became an old player and lived on the endless train for a year, he might not be able to reach Zhao Xun's current situation.
Thinking of this, the hip-hop man was somewhat fortunate that he had never offended Zhao Xun.
Moreover, every time he played a game with Zhao Xun, they never became enemies.
Otherwise, he would have no chance of winning.
When Zhao Xun and the hip-hop man finished searching the first dormitory on the fifth floor, the two groups of primates had entered the second and third dormitories on the fifth floor respectively, and the progress was halfway through.
The hip-hop man couldn't help but sigh: "With their help, it's really much faster."
He used to think that he would never finish searching the remaining dormitories before six in the morning, but now he even thinks he has a chance to complete the progress at half past five.
Without the huge pressure, the hip-hop man was much faster.
The fifth floor was quickly searched, and the two plus six animals quickly went to the sixth floor.
Finally, it was the baboon who found a number plate in one of the dormitories on the sixth floor, which was embedded in the gap of the bed board. The baboon and the gorilla worked together to fold the two wooden boards in the middle, and then took out the cotton cloth number plate.
The baboon handed the number plate to Zhao Xun like a treasure.
The hip-hop man watched from the side without any dissatisfaction.
Zhao Xun took a look and saw the number 5.
He casually put the number plate into his coat pocket, zipped up his pocket, and looked at the time again.
Five thirty-five in the morning.
"It's past the agreed time, let's go quickly." Zhao Xun urged the hip-hop man, and then he turned into a sparrow and flew downstairs quickly.
Hip-hop man: "..."
He also wanted to fly.
This is much more convenient than going downstairs with his legs!
Or he could jump directly from the sixth floor, he would not die or get hurt, that would be fine too!
The imagination was very beautiful, but in reality the hip-hop man had to fiddle with his legs quickly and run downstairs at his fastest speed.
When the hip-hop man ran to the playground panting, the other players were all there.
Although the light was not good and he could not see the expressions of those people clearly, the hip-hop man could still feel that several players were a little impatient.
Some crossed their arms, some kept pacing back and forth, and some made a "tsk" sound when he appeared.
The hip-hop man was very tactful and apologized as he approached: "Sorry, sorry, I have too many things to search for, it took a little longer."
Seeing the hip-hop man's polite attitude, the mood of the impatient players was slightly better, and they did not deliberately make things difficult for him.
"Then let's get started." The woman in the bright red down jacket urged, "There are only seventeen minutes left, let's distribute the number cards first."
She looked at the other players eagerly: "I haven't found any number cards, you must have extra number cards in your hands, right?"
"I have, I have!" In order to show his active cooperation, the hip-hop man took out two number cards from his trouser pocket, "I have two here, one is the number 2, and the other is the number 8, which one do you want?"
The woman was a little hesitant.
"Hurry up," the short ponytail man urged impatiently, "Anyway, no one knows the difference in choosing numbers, just pick one at random."
The woman also knew that time was tight, so she didn't argue with the short ponytail man.
She thought about it and stretched out her hand to the hip-hop man: "Give me the number 8."
It sounds more auspicious.
The hip-hop man didn't care which number the woman would choose, and he readily handed the number card with the number 8 to the woman.
While the handover was still going on, Zhao Xun had already spoken: "I have two number cards, one with number 10 and one with number 5."
After a pause, he continued: "I like number 10. Anyone who doesn't have a number card can take number 5."
"Me, give me number 5." The man with frameless glasses took the initiative to walk in front of Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun didn't say anything, and directly handed over the number card with number 5.
The man with glasses took it and thanked him.
"Is there anyone else missing a number card?" Zhao Xun asked while scanning the circle.
No one spoke again.
"Then the remaining few people, please report the numbers on your number cards." Before Zhao Xun finished speaking, he saw several players moving, as if they were going to refute. He didn't give these people a chance to speak, and continued, "Listen to me. I have a reason to make this request." (End of this chapter)
