Day of Imprisonment

Qian Lejin started anxiously waiting after finishing the phone call.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a big puff.

“The best thing about the Day of Confinement is that on this day, you can do whatever you want and torment yourself as much as you like, and you'll be back to normal on the next cycle day. You know, there are many veteran players who are already a little desperate and have formed all sorts of bizarre organizations, doing all kinds of things. I heard that some people spent a whole day tattooing various patterns all over their bodies just to experience tattooing. There are also people who enjoy killing, and each time, they kill the same person, because the other person can be resurrected on the next cycle day. I also heard that some women have found several strong men…”

At this moment, a strong man over 1.9 meters tall walked out of the house, looking like a bear, and sat down heavily on the steps beside him, saying.

Halfway through his sentence, he turned his head to look at Fatty Qian: “Damn, light one for me too, how can you be so clueless?”

Fatty Qian laughed: “Brother Qiu, which category do you belong to?”

“What do you mean which category I belong to? I'm just chatting with you, talking about other people who are mentally ill. Me, Liang Qiu, I'm an upright man, I wouldn't do those kind of things that would shame my ancestors and make me have a son without an asshole.”

“Got it!” Qian Lejin nodded: “I also joined you because Brother Qiu is one of the few decent people here. I really look down on others!”

He had only known this strong man for less than half a day, but the two of them got along exceptionally well, both being the kind of people who were carefree and informal, and liked to talk about loyalty and swear words.

Fatty Qian lit one for him.

“Hit it!” The strong man took a drag, smoking more than half of it in one go, and then inhaled it into his lungs. After a while, he slowly exhaled.

“爽！(Shuang! - Awesome!)”

“You'll easily get cancer!”

“Scared of what? Don't even mention this, even if I drink pesticide, I'll still be a good man on the next cycle day.”

Qian Lejin nodded. This man was called Liang Qiu, nicknamed Brother Qiu, a bricklayer at a construction site, in his thirties, but he looked like he was almost fifty.

He didn't have any special characteristics, except that he had a loud voice and great strength.

Moreover, his strength was real.

Especially after this guy obtained his exclusive card ring after clearing the game three times, he could lift a thousand pounds with one hand using the power of the cards.

Even in the Awakened Association, he was considered a very impressive figure.

It was also rumored that he used a [Giant Strength] card during a fight before, directly lifting a car and smashing it into the other person's face.

Extremely fierce!

Qian Lejin sat down next to him at this time, and then took out two cans of beer from the backpack behind him.

He opened one and handed it to the other person.

“Brother Qiu, I found a helper.” Qian Lejin said at this time.

“Helper? Did you tell other people about this place?” Liang Qiu was stunned.

Every checkpoint scene where you can get numbered cards is very important information, especially when only they few people know about it, and others don't.

In this regard, the Awakened Association can be said to be the leader in this city.

They have a lot of information that other Reminiscents don't know, including possible or already confirmed checkpoint scenes where numbered cards can be obtained, as well as the location, difficulty, and strategies of many scenes.

However, there are actually not many checkpoint scenes with complete strategies.

Sometimes, even if there is a strategy, it is not easy to completely clear the level according to the methods of predecessors.

Moreover, checkpoint scenes that have been cleared too many times will change after several consecutive cycle days in similar situations, or even disappear completely.

Therefore, old checkpoint scenes will always disappear, and then new checkpoint scenes will appear.

Naturally, the rules and content of the newly appeared checkpoint scenes are also completely new.

“Yes, I told someone.” Qian Lejin admitted readily.

When Liang Qiu heard this, he nodded: “Just find them, at least you are honest. You admitted it proactively, unlike some people who do it but are stubborn as a dead duck, and won't admit it until they die.”

Not knowing what memories were evoked, Liang Qiu spoke with gritted teeth and a face full of hatred.

He clenched his fists, drank the beer in one gulp, and then squeezed the empty can into an aluminum ball the size of a marble.

“To be honest, I haven't met that Lin Yixuan, but he is definitely not as good as Luo Xi.” Qian Lejin looked serious, his fat face full of solemnity.

“Impossible, there is no one in this world smarter than the guy surnamed Lin. Although that guy swindled me, he is indeed powerful, I admit that.”

“Is that so? How did I hear that Lin Yixuan also came to challenge this scene, but he couldn't even pass the first level, so no one has ever obtained the numbered card here.”

“That's true, but I have to admit that this is really difficult. Anyway, I won't even try. I'm good at doing things that require brute force, but our ancestors didn't have the genes for this kind of chess-playing brain, and we can't give birth to such a smart brain.”

At this time, several people walked out of the house.

They all had ugly faces.

“It's no good, I can't beat that old man. I can't even pass the first level, let alone challenge the second level. That old man's chess skills are too high. I suspect we need to find a professional chess player to have a chance to succeed.”

The speaker was a man wearing glasses, slightly fat, and balding. At this moment, he was constantly wiping his sweat, and continued to say: “Unless we find a professional chess player, and a very high-ranked one, otherwise, there is no possibility of clearing this level.”

“Then go find a professional chess player, find one, forcibly give them a [Memory] card, and then pull them over directly, I don't believe it.” Liang Qiu got up: “But you are not good either. Before you came, you boasted about how good you were at playing chess, saying that you were very powerful, but what about the result? You peed your pants as soon as you went on the field.”

The bespectacled balding man was immediately unhappy. He wiped his sweat and said in a cold voice: “What do you know? I at least played a hundred moves with that old man before losing. And I heard that your Awakened Association's leader also came to challenge him, didn't he still fail? I'll leave my words here, even if a high-ranked professional chess player comes, it won't work. That old man's chess level is definitely super national level, it is impossible for anyone to beat him. You guys, don't waste your time, it's hopeless.”

Just at this moment, a taxi stopped by the side of the road.

Luo Xi opened the door and walked down.

He saw Qian Lejin at first glance, and then his eyes moved to the building behind him.

An old building, seamlessly connected to the surrounding shops. If it had a sign saying 'XX Massage Therapy Shop', it might be more appropriate, but instead, it had the four big characters 'Tun Tun Chess Club' hanging on it.

Qian Lejin also saw Luo Xi, and he immediately greeted him.

“Leader Luo, you're here!”

The fatty's attitude was even more 'exaggerated' than Luo Xi had imagined.

It was obvious that there was an element of acting.

Based on Luo Xi's understanding of this fatty, he wouldn't do something without a purpose.

"Luo Ju, those people over there are all from the Awakened Association. The big guy is called Liang Qiu, a Giant Strength user. His fighting power is even fiercer than that Aunt Qin. His greatest wish is to see his wife and children. If you can help him, he will definitely work for you with his life," Qian Fatty said in a low voice, his speech as fast as chanting scriptures.

Luo Xi naturally understood Qian Fatty's plan.

He was trying to find experts for himself.

Moreover, the other party already had a plan.

For Luo Xi, he didn't care whether he had experts to help him or not. It would be good to have them, but he wasn't afraid without them.

Qian Fatty's speech was indeed fast, and he spoke very clearly. He could get to the point in just a few sentences.

"There's a scenario inside where you play chess with an old man. One [Memory] card per game. If you win, you get three [Memory] cards back, and you can further challenge the second level inside. If you win the second game, you can get a numbered card, but the specific number is unknown, because so far, no one has been able to pass the first level."

"Chess?"

"Yes, chess!"

Luo Xi nodded.

Luo Xi had indeed hinted at Qian Fatty joining the Awakened Association. Since the other party could understand, it meant he wasn't stupid.

He had potential.

Luo Xi liked reliable people.

Especially during the Day of Imprisonment, it was necessary to find reliable people. If they weren't reliable, then at least their abilities in some aspect had to reach the extraordinary level.

Either they were strong in combat, or they were resistant to attacks, or they were good at gathering intelligence...

People with poor abilities and unreliability were not valued.

"However, won't they cause you trouble for this blatant act of rebellion?" Although Luo Xi knew that Qian Lejin must have his own plans and had already planned it out, he was still very curious.

So he asked directly.

"Anyway, I don't plan to stay in the Awakened Association for long. Besides, that Liang Qiu over there doesn't care about this. If I hide it from him and he finds out, he will despise me instead. To make friends with someone like him, honesty is the most important thing. As for whether I am a traitor, he doesn't care, because he has long wanted to leave the Awakened Association."

"Luo Ju, that Liang Qiu is really amazing. If I can pull him over, it would be a great achievement. If he is willing to help you, you basically don't have to worry about hand-to-hand combat."

Luo Xi glanced at Qian Lejin.

Then his gaze swept over the tall and strong Liang Qiu over there.

Although Fatty always talked nonsense, he was still very reliable. The standard of judgment was also very simple. If Fatty said how amazing he was, it was bragging nonsense; if Fatty said how amazing someone else was, it meant that the other person was really amazing.

However, since Fatty had taken the initiative to take on this matter, Luo Xi wouldn't worry too much. He would let Fatty be the matchmaker. If it worked out, it worked out; if it didn't, it didn't matter.

What Luo Xi was currently focused on was this level scenario called the Tun Tun Chess Club.

"Chess? It seems like it's been a long time since I've played."

Luo Xi ignored the others and walked directly into the chess club.

It was very clean inside. There was a counter with a young man standing there, because the chess club also sold some merchandise.

"If you want to play chess, go inside!" The young man pointed to the back of the chess club.

Behind the bookshelf, there was a table with an old man sitting there. He was holding white pieces in one hand and pinching black pieces in the other, playing chess with himself.

Many people have tried playing chess with themselves.

Some people find it meaningless and boring; but some people enjoy it and treat it as an interesting way to relax.

Luo Xi belonged to the latter.

He even vaguely had a memory that among the many personalities who had been defeated by him, there seemed to be one who liked to play chess.

However, this kind of memory was invisible and intangible. At most, it was like a blank piece of paper. Only by carefully touching it with your hands could you faintly feel a shallow trace.

It was very unreal, and it might even be just an illusion, a inexplicable fantasy.

When Luo Xi walked in, the old man opposite him also looked up.

"Playing chess?" the old man asked.

His eyes were cloudy, his white hair was disheveled, and he looked very thin, all skin and bones, like an old scholar obsessed with some kind of research. Although he seemed down and out and sloppy, he also had a convincing sense of authority.

From the way he sat, the fingers pinching the chess pieces, and the chessboard in front of him, all of this constituted an extremely harmonious scene. Although there was no sound, it seemed like the words 'This old man is a chess master' were filling his ears.

Luo Xi smiled and nodded.

"Sit!"

The old man immediately cleaned up the chess pieces on the chessboard.

At the same time, the bald-headed glasses man, the Go master invited by the Awakened Association, also came in.

They stood around skillfully.

"Where did this young kid come from, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth," the bald-headed glasses man muttered.

Obviously, he didn't think highly of Luo Xi at all.

Even though he didn't know the other party at all, nor did he understand this person.

It was completely a subjective idea.

With a natural 'hostility', he was both worried that the other party would win and afraid that the old man would lose.

Because that way, wouldn't he become a clown?

"Shh, don't make noise." Qian Lejin frowned and said impatiently, then added: "Let's go, this is none of your business."

"That's right, go back, I get annoyed just looking at you." Liang Qiu also added a knife.

Mainly because An Zhiyan arranged for him to invite this 'Go master' to攻略the Tun Tun Chess Club's level scenario, otherwise, he would be too lazy to come.

It should be said that in the Awakened Association, Liang Qiu actually belonged to the An faction.

Because An Zhiyan was now arranging and coordinating everything in the association, as for Lin Yixuan, he seemed to be very busy for the past dozen or so cycle days, but no one knew what he was busy with. In short, Lin Yixuan had almost completely given up on the affairs within the association.

"Damn it, are you planning to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" The bald-headed glasses man was upset.

People live for face, and trees live for bark. The most important thing for middle-aged greasy men is face.

"Haven't we already given you the reward, and the [Memory] cards used for playing chess were also paid for by us. You haven't lost anything on this trip, so why aren't you satisfied? You lost because you didn't have the ability, so am I not allowed to say that your level is not good? You are obviously not very good," Liang Qiu raised his eyebrows, emphasizing being realistic.

The bald-headed glasses man glanced at Liang Qiu's muscles and size, suppressed his unhappiness, and suddenly sneered: "I understand, you have double insurance. You invited me at the same time, and you also invited someone else. Fine, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll see what this young man is capable of. If he wins, I will return all the previous commission cards to you. Not only that, but I will also compensate you with two [Memory] cards."

"Hey, you said that yourself." Qian Lejin sneered. He had long disliked this guy. He had been troublesome from the beginning. Not only was he slow, but he also liked to show off. If there weren't other people watching, he would have long beaten this old bastard with a sap.

What a thing!
