Chapter 212 Preliminaries ([-])

As a bystander, Liang Xi naturally called Karin after returning to the hotel, but Karin had more time during her training.Without nutrition, outsiders listened to it and wanted to die. I was immersed in the inextricable love talk, and I didn't hang up until Karin wanted to enter the laboratory.During the love affair, Liang Xi didn't ask the womanizer a word, he believed in Karin.In other words, he is also enjoying the joy and ease brought by unreservedly believing and loving someone.

Hanging up the phone and getting ready to go to bed, the Blood Moon Butler called. The butler claimed to be the person in charge of the Blood Moon invitation and asked about Liang Xi's arrival time. If necessary, he could send cars and private jets to pick up Liang Xi in most countries and cities around the world.Finally, the basic rules of this session are specially explained.

The content of the invitation was not disclosed, but only explained the differences from the previous invitations.This Blood Moon invitation quota is for sale, and each quota starts at 1 million pounds. As long as you have money, you can spend 5 million or even 50 million to buy gold coins worth 1 million pounds each.About 30 people have signed up so far.These people are ordinary guests.Liang Xi, Chris and others are VIP guests. In addition to better housing and living conditions, VIP guests also retain the right to buy information with gold coins.Other people's gold coins are like chips, and they can only be exchanged for cash after the invitation ends or they can choose to become VIP guests invited by the next Blood Moon.In the case of repurchase, a gold coin can only be exchanged for 80 pounds.

The butler called himself the Blood Moon Steward, and he explained that the profits from this Blood Moon invitation will be distributed [-]-[-]% will be used for charity, and [-]% will be involved in the next blood moon invitation fund pool.At the end of the call, the butler reminded Liang Xi that the invitation venue was not limited to Blood Moon Castle.Due to the large number of participants, several preliminaries may be conducted.

Liang Xi fell asleep after listening to it, and did not search for relevant information, news, etc.As for what Bobby and Chris talked about and what they played at night, Liang Xi didn't even want to know.

……

There was nothing to say all night, and they parted ways the next day.The heartless Bobby vowed to win Xiao Ge, and send Xiao Ge to Madrid to participate in activities in his own private jet.Sierra finds out that the tour company's system is shit and can only stay in Bath for a few days to get her work done.Chris also stayed in Bath. No one knew whether he wanted to soak in the hot springs or what he wanted to do.And Liang Xi took the bus back to London early in the morning.

A few days later, Liang Xi, Bobby, and Chris took Bobby's family helicopter to the outside of Brighton's Bloodmoon Castle.Originally, the helicopter was supposed to fly in, but the castle security refused the request for the helicopter to hover over the castle and land on the castle grounds.

The time for the invitation letter was from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] noon today. When the three of them arrived, it was already around ten o'clock, and they could see the contestants standing on the city wall in the distance.The guests looked towards the bridge, chatting in groups of two or three, and they also wanted to know who the contestants were.

Bobby first handed in the invitation letter, and a man dressed as a housekeeper looked at it, then looked at the city gate and said, "After crossing the bridge, there is a registration office on the left, thank you."

Bobby nodded and waited, Liang Xi sent the invitation letter, the butler raised his hand, and a sightseeing car drove to Liang Xi.The butler said, "Please, Mr. Liang."

After Chris handed over the invitation letter, he also boarded the sightseeing car. Bobby looked at the car's butt and was dissatisfied: "Hey, take me one."

Liang Xi raised his hand and waved, signaling: Bye.

Ordinary guests live in the place where Liang Xi and the others originally lived.Two people live in a three-storey, [-]-square-meter townhouse.Liang attacked them and moved into the castle.Liang Xi's room is very large, consisting of a living room, a kitchen, two small auxiliary bedrooms, and a master bedroom, with complete furniture.Judging from the topic, the room should have been renovated recently, and all the appliances are new.

The secondary bedroom is for two young and beautiful maids, who will be responsible for Liang Xi's daily life during the blood moon invitation.The first thing was to make clothes. As soon as the maid explained the situation to Liang Xi, the tailor went to Liang Xi's room to measure Liang Xi's size.The tailor will rush out a set of clothes tomorrow morning, and two more sets will be delivered the day after tomorrow.

You don’t need to boil water, make tea, or do hygiene. Someone will iron your clothes, help you with your hair, and someone will clean up your food after eating.It is very different from Liang Xi's treatment when he participated in the invitation for the first time.

Liang Xi noticed a large area of ​​buildings in the backyard of the castle.These buildings are weird.Looking down from a height, it looks like dozens of large factory buildings put together to build a large sunshade and rain shed.From Liang Xi's position, he couldn't see what was inside the shed.

Liang Xi asked the maid, and the maid suddenly remembered, and hurriedly took an envelope from the coffee table drawer to Liang Xi.Inside the large envelope was a letter and a map.This large area of ​​buildings is called New Castle.The new castle is divided into four blocks by a cross, the cross is the main road, and the four blocks are Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4 from top to bottom and from left to right.The map shows the location of restrooms and emergency telephones.In Liang Xi's view, this represents two points. First, the guests have to stay in these areas for a relatively long time.Second, guests may not be able to bring mobile phones into the new building.

The letter explained the basic rules of this invitation, no intentionally offending and attacking others, no meaningless damage, etc.Those in yellow vests are referees, those in black suits are security guards, and those in red vests are action referees.

The final letter stated that this invitation event was planned by a certain game company, and I wish you all a good time.

Apparently the Blood Moon Invitation got the hang of it.Some people like boring reasoning, but more people like interesting reasoning.Just like gambling, winning or losing is the key to gambling, but various gambling methods are very effective modifiers and one of the reasons why people are addicted.

The maids don't provide bad service, they are graduates of professional schools in domestic economics, focusing on service and polite etiquette.Liang Xi wanted to get some words out of their mouths, but he didn't expect them to be completely unclear about the details of Blood Moon's invitation.However, they explained that they came from different manors. Maid A was a manor directly under the Earl of Blood Moon, and Maid B was a staff member of a noble manor in Birmingham.

Liang Xi asked curiously about their work content.Contrary to what many people think, maid work is relatively easy.Many people in modern times feel tired from work because one person has to do the work of two people. Most rich people don’t care about the salaries of employees who provide services for manors and mansions, so most of the maids are two people doing one person’s work.There is not a small gap in the income of maids. The key lies in the personality and character of the boss, but the average income is not low.

Liang Xi watched TV, chatted with the maid, and made video calls with Karin, and that was all he spent in one day.

……

Before eight o'clock the next morning, the maid assisted Liang Xi to have breakfast, put on new clothes, and tidy up his hair.Maid A, a part-time driver, invite Liang Xi to get into a black car.

Several VIP cars went first, and ordinary guests took the bus parked by the roadside of the castle. The VIP car goes first, and the bus follows.Liang Xi got a number plate from the maid, number 505, and stuck it on his chest as the maid said.As for whether there are 505 guests, the maid said she didn't know.

The car drove into an airport in Brighton.This airport is not big, and its main service objects are cargo planes and private jets.However, there are many people in the main building of the airport.Liang Xi looked through the glass for a while after getting out of the car, and found that these people should be actors and airport staff, and they were simulating a scene of a civil aviation waiting hall.

A security guard signaled Liang Xi to walk towards the center. Liang Xi observed while walking, and found that the layout was not much different from that of civil aviation.Outside there is a boarding pass exchange desk and a luggage check desk.There are two waiting halls in total. After exchanging a ticket for a boarding pass, you can enter the waiting hall after passing the security check.Because it is difficult to come out after entering the waiting hall, civil aviation usually has various supporting facilities in the waiting hall, in addition to restrooms, smoking areas, etc., there are also shopping areas and so on.

It can be seen that the Blood Moon invitation also cost a lot of money, and the personnel and configuration similar to those of civil aviation were abruptly created in a small hall.This made Liang Xi a little curious about the topic of the preliminaries.

Walking to the hall, the blood moon steward motioned for everyone to sit freely.Bobby wanted to chat with Liang Xi, but found that Liang Xi was looking around absent-mindedly.In addition to getting on the plane, there are also people who get off the plane. Like civil aviation, there are customs channels.In front of the customs passage, there are baggage areas, visa areas, etc. The customs is divided into domestic passages and international passages.The domestic passage is the passage for nationals, and the procedures are relatively simple, and they can be released after verifying the passport.After leaving the customs, the actors got on the shuttle bus and took their luggage around to the airport bridge, picked up their luggage again, and then went out of customs.

Actors keep repeating what they do.

When Liang Xi paid attention to his surroundings, all 42 guests had arrived before he knew it.Liang Xi was surprised to see two women, Sophia Koko and Fanny, both of whom participated in the invitation as ordinary guests.Kou Kou waved her hands happily when Liang Xi saw her.Fanny smiled and pointed at Liang Xi and made a throat-cutting gesture, expressing a challenge to Liang Xi.

……

The blood moon steward asked everyone to be quiet, and then asked: "Have you heard of the blind box?"

Many people replied: "I know."

The blood moon steward said: "The blood moon invites the first preliminaries program, the luggage battle. The blood moon gold coin is the currency of the blood moon invitation. Once it is emptied, the invitation ends. In most cases, this person will not be able to participate in the blood moon. monthly invitation."

Fanny crossed her legs, leaned back, slightly tilted her head, and casually raised her hands. The blood moon steward signaled that Fanny could speak.Fanny asked, "What do you mean most of the time?"

The blood moon steward said: "A guest in the last blood moon invitation abandoned the gold coin and was unwilling to participate in our blood moon invitation. A special case was opened for him alone. The reason is: the reason why he abandoned the gold coin was our mistake. Closer to home, everyone should have seen that, apart from the airport staff, passengers are divided into two categories. The first category is passengers entering the airport and preparing to board the plane, and the second category is passengers who have just got off the plane and left the airport.”

The blood moon steward said: "You have one hour to observe and choose a piece of luggage. Be careful, you can't talk to passengers, you can't touch the luggage, and don't calculate the value of the luggage. At the same time, don't copy words from lawyers and me. Meaning. Passengers who get their luggage come back here and wait, and whoever gets the luggage with the highest value can get more gold coins.”

The blood moon steward said: "Those whose luggage is worth more than [-] pounds can get five gold coins, those who have more than [-] pounds can get two gold coins, and those who have more than [-] pounds can get one gold coin. If the luggage value is less than [-] pounds, one gold coin will be deducted, and three gold coins will be deducted." Two gold coins will be deducted up to a hundred pounds, and three gold coins will be deducted up to a hundred pounds."

The blood moon steward said: "This is a question that a university in Canada was invited by Blood Moon. They randomly selected 45 passengers at the airport to help them complete the problem. They took pictures of the passengers and listed their luggage. All passengers acted as one of the 45 passengers, trying to replicate the information of the real passenger in terms of age, clothing and other details."

The blood moon steward said: "One hundred and forty-five people, with a total of two hundred and three suitcases. The contents of the suitcases are very rich, and some of the items in the suitcases can only be replaced by imitations due to objective factors... Everyone understands the rules ?"

A man raised his hand, and he said in a very impatient tone, "I paid the money, why doesn't my breakfast even have bacon?"

Blood Moon Steward said: "If you don't accept this question, 3 silver coins will be deducted from the 5rd."

The yellow vest referee on one side recorded No. 3 deduction of silver coins.

The Blood Moon steward said: "I know that some of the ordinary guests are unwilling to participate in the Blood Moon invitation. Let me give you a suggestion, try to make things the best, because the parents who sign up for you will get your profile report. Please don’t play wild during the blood moon invitation, otherwise I will take off the disguise of a gentleman, and you will definitely lose the face of a gentleman.”

The place was quiet.

Blood Moon Steward said: "Among you are the prodigal sons who are nothing, as well as prominent family patriarchs, lawyers, secret agents, police officers, gold-collar workers, professors, CEOs, and all kinds of people. You Most of you are already successful, and your ability does not need to be verified by a blood moon invitation. I think the blood moon invitation is a challenge. After the blood moon invitation ends, the guests with silver coins will become the next blood moon invitation VIP. The guests who lost all their chips will not have the opportunity to participate in the blood moon invitation in the future."

Blood Moon Steward: "Now, the timer starts."

After the start, everyone dispersed, and most people only now began to notice the weirdness of this airport.House wisely followed Liang Xi: "Who did you say the United States was looking for last time?"

"Two?" Liang Xi asked.

House said: "Here are five gold coins, and the president will help you out." As a VIP, he knows what five gold coins represent.Five gold coins represent five pieces of information, 5 million pounds, who in the United States can be worth this money?If the president dies, he can choose another one, and if the information is gone, it will be gone.

Liang Xi said: "I'm sure of the two, but I haven't found the five yet."

House said: "Five coins for news. If there are only two coins, you owe me a gold coin first." Businessman, make the terms fast and ruthless.

Liang Xi said: "Deal, you go and get two of them first. That middle-aged woman in a jacket."

House doubted: "It doesn't look like a rich man."

Liang Xi said: "She doesn't have much money in her clothes, and even her bag is very ordinary. But she wears a wig, a very expensive wig. This kind of person's wealth is introverted, and two gold coins are the base, maybe they can buy five gold coins. "

"See you later." House shook hands with Liang Xi to wish Liang Xi good luck, and walked towards the woman: "Ma'am, robbery." House reached out and took the suitcase.

Kou Kou followed Liang Xi all the time, and when he caught Liang Xi's chance to be alone, he stepped forward to say hello; "Hey."

"Hey." Liang Xi said, "Long time no see."

Kou Kou nodded: "Long time no see, are you a VIP?"

Liang Xi said: "Count up the VIPs, have you found your target?"

Kou Kou shook his head, and Liang Xi said, "That young man is a skier. There must be ski equipment in the bag, and I guess there are electronic products. At least you won't be deducted if you choose this bag."

"Thank you, I'll take a look."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"Hey." Kou Kou stopped Liang Xi: "Shall we go together?"

Liang Xi refused: "I have business to do, let's talk later." He forced a smile and left.I dare not go with you even if I have nothing to do, your mother is too cruel.
