[Chapter 41, Financial Crisis 1-Exchange Intelligence]

Xiao Lou has had a strong ability to recognize people since he was a child. When he was four years old, he could clearly distinguish his aunts, aunts, and relatives at home, and never called him wrong. After graduation, he became a teacher, with a class of more than 40 people, and he could recognize all the students in two weeks of class. Even if he didn't name it, Xiao Lou knew which guy skipped class.

I used to play cards with No. 5 in the plum blossom secret room. At that time, everyone was wearing masks and couldn't see their faces clearly, but No. 5's eyes and hair were very recognizable. With their height and body shape, Xiao Lou recognized it at a glance.

On the 5th, he said he wanted to go to the Plum Blossom Room first, and he appeared in Spade 3 at this time. It seems that he has passed the Plum Blossom 3.

Maybe exchange information?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lou approached Yu Hanjiang's ear and said, "He should have come after passing the Plum Blossom 3. Can we ask him about the information about Plum Blossom 3? In an equivalent exchange, we can also tell him the information about Square Blossom 3 or Red Peach 3."

Yu Hanjiang felt that this method was feasible and nodded and said, "Okay, let's try it later."

The time in the secret room was in the morning. The two stood in the shade of trees around the corner of the street. No. 5 did not notice them. The man was in the queue for withdrawing money, with his hands in his pockets, and his posture was lazy, just like a cat walking leisurely with his eyes narrowed, and he didn't look nervous at all.

The team moved forward quickly, and the hooded boy in front of him had already withdrawn the money and left in a hurry.

Xiao Lou was stunned: "That person wearing a hat is not his teammate?"

The two challengers were in the team, and Xiao Lou thought they were teammates, but the hooded boy walked very quickly after withdrawing the money and ignored No. 5, which obviously didn't know each other.

No. 5 calmly went to the self-service ATM to take out 100,000 gold coins, put it in his pocket and turned away. As soon as he took a few steps, he noticed a slight sank on his shoulders. The man suddenly turned around and unexpectedly met a pair of dark and deep eyes.

"Hello, I'm No. 3." The other party greeted in a plain voice.

"Hello." The handsome guy next to him smiled kindly and said very friendly, "I am No. 1, do you still remember us?"

"..." No. 1 and No. 3, how could you feel like an underground party joint? The man narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him. After searching for memories, he suddenly smiled and said, "I remembered that he had signed the contract letter after playing cards in the plum blossom secret room, right?"

"That's right." Xiao Lou nodded, "I've met you again, what a coincidence."

Yu Hanjiang asked bluntly: "You said you wanted to go to Plum Blossom 3 first. Did you come out of Plum Blossom 3?"

The man shrugged: "Well, I came out of the plum blossom and went to Fangzi 3. However, my pass score in Fangzi is only c."

Yu Hanjiang: "..."

If Xiao Lou had not led the winner, Yu Hanjiang would probably have only the score of C. It seems that he is a fellow student.

On the 5th, I went to Plum Blossom 3 and then to Square Plate 3. As a result, I met them in Spade 3. Since the time flow rate of each secret room in the card world is independently calculated, Xiao Lou did not worry about the time issue and said softly: "Are you interested in exchanging information with us?"

The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Lou: "What information? Do you know how to overcome the financial crisis?"

Xiao Lou shook his head: "I don't know." He changed his subject and said seriously: "But we have been to Hongtao 3, you have been to Plum Blossom 3, you tell us the content of Plum Blossom 3, we tell you how to pass the Red Tao 3 - equivalent exchange, how about it?"

The man thought about it and simply nodded: "Get the deal."

He has no reason to refuse a mutually beneficial exchange of information.

He turned around and pointed to the high-end cafe next to the street and said, "Go and have a cup of coffee and sit down and chat."

Xiao Lou is even more realistic: "In a world where the financial crisis is about to break out, we should save some money. Why not go to the restaurant there and have lunch directly?"

Of course, Yu Hanjiang listened to Xiao Lou and agreed: "Let's go and have lunch."

man:"……"

One mouth can’t tell you two, so he can only go to a small restaurant.

Fortunately, although this restaurant is small in size, the environment is pretty good, and the tables and chairs and tableware are very clean.

There are only a few home-cooked dishes on the menu - vegetarian dishes such as spicy and sour potato shredded potatoes, braised eggplant, etc. are 1,500 gold coins, 2,500 meat dishes such as potato beef, sweet and sour pork ribs, and a large pot of rice is 500 gold coins.

This price... If you simply understand it, just remove two 0 gold coins and convert them into RMB. It is about 15 yuan per serving of vegetarian dishes, 25 yuan per plate of meat, and a large pot of rice for 5 yuan. The price is quite affordable.

Xiaolou was simply moved.

He ordered two meat and two vegetables, a basin of rice, and took the initiative to pay for a treat, spending 8,500 gold coins.

In the world of crisis-ridden card games, Xiaolou has only one goal - to live to the end and leave here.

Therefore, he would rather make more friends than offend another enemy.

This No. 5 has no identity, but she performed very well in Plum Blossom 2. She must be a master of playing cards. Xiao Lou gave enough sincerity. Not only did she pay for a meal, she also took the initiative to extend her hand and said, "Make a friend. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xiao Lou, and I used to be a teacher in the medical school."

Team Yu said simply and neatly: "Yu Hanjiang, police."

"..." The man was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, it turned out that they were the two who broke the records of Hongtao 3 and Square Film 3 secret rooms. Fortunately, I will be lucky."

The world record was refreshed, and the whole server will be announced in big-character, and all challengers can see it. Unconsciously, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang have become famous, but they have not noticed it yet.

The man stretched out his hand readily, shook it with Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang, and said, "Shao Qingge, his profession is a stock trader, and playing poker games is my hobby."

He was a little wary of these two people, but since the other party was a great god who could break the secret room records, he was often a person with a C-sized score in the square film, so there was no need to hesitate - he worked with the great god, he only made money and did not lose money.

As long as you are a smart person, you will not refuse to cooperate with a master like Xiao Lou or Yu Hanjiang.

Xiao Lou was slightly stunned when he heard the name Shao Qingge, but soon returned to his calm expression and said with a smile: "Mr. Shao, let's talk about Fangpian 3 first. What is the mechanism you saw at that time?"

Let’s talk about Square Film 3 first, because they have been to this secret room. After exchanging information, you can determine whether the contents of the secret room are consistent.

Shao Qingge simply said: "The first mechanism is a very simple two-character word, the second is fill in the blanks of idioms, and the third is fill in the blanks of poetry. The idioms are blocked with the word [people], and the answer is helpful and talented, etc.... The word blocked with the word "poetry" is [moon], where is the lovesickness of the bright moon tower? Don't let the golden cup face the moon empty, etc."

Xiao Lou said: "What our idiom questions block is [典], and poetry blocks [英英]."

Shao Qingge was a little surprised: "So, the square film secret room is just the same as the type of mechanism, but will the answer change randomly?"

Xiao Lou also mentioned the math problems he encountered in Square 2. Sure enough, the numbers of Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge are different - but the types are exactly the same, all of which are nine-cluster grids, axis of symmetry, equations, and arrows.

Xiao Lou concluded: "The square-piece secret room is the same as the question type, but the content of the question will be randomly selected in the question bank. As long as you know the rules of answering questions, no matter how it changes, it is easy to think of the answer."

For example, in the last circle of Red Peach 3, change 888 to 869. No matter how you change it, it will be very simple after knowing the answering skills.

It seems that it is still necessary to exchange information.

The two sides immediately reached a consensus.

Xiao Lou said: "Let me talk about Red Peach first. Red Peach 3 is a campus murder case. Ying Xiaoya, who was late in class on the first day, will die. The murderer who killed her was a teacher. The key clue is to find the fall from the building five years ago and the book "The Earl of Monte Cristo". The teacher imitated the protagonist in the book to avenge the sister who fell from the building, killed three people in a row, and buried the three of their bodies in the maple forest. Ying Xiaoya accidentally heard this secret and was silenced."

Xiao Lou paused and said, "Our customs clearance method is to find clues to assist the police in solving the case, but I think there may be other customs clearance methods in the dynamic secret room. You can try to stop Ying Xiaoya from death and see if you can save Xiaoya in that world. You can directly dig out the maple forest to find the bones and attract the police to investigate." He paused and said, "If Ying Xiaoya's death cannot be stopped, find all the clues as soon as possible..."

Xiao Lou told the other party all the clues to show sincerity.

Shao Qingge also readily revealed the information about the Plum Blossom Room: "Plum Blossom Room 3 is a very simple poker game called [Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter]. The rules are formulated by the Plum Blossom Guardians themselves. The four colors represent a season each. Play cards according to the colors. Whoever plays the hand first will be the winner of this game..."

He told the two of them the detailed rules of the game and the winning skills.

Xiao Lou suddenly thought, if the secret rooms represented by the same card are similar in the card world, as long as the challenger successfully passed through various secret rooms before, can the challenger be able to find someone to obtain information and reduce the difficulty of passing the level? Will there be a special intelligence organization in this world, similar to the "copy strategy group" in online games?

If this is true, how could no one pass the entire secret room and leave here?

There are only two explanations: one is that the secret rooms in the later stage will be randomly generated, making the information useless; or, the mortality rate in the secret rooms in the later stage is too high, and few people can pass the level and survive, let alone sell strategies to others.

But at least at present, the C-level secret room with low difficulty has no need to worry about the level of Plum Blossom 3. The most urgent thing is how to pass Spade 3.

Xiao Lou asked: "What do Mr. Shao thinks about the financial crisis?"

Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes and said, "100,000 gold coins are definitely not enough to spend. I plan to make money first."

Xiao Lou was curious: "How to make money?"

Shao Qingge smiled mysteriously and came over to lower his voice: "Look for it, see if there is an underground bank."

Xiaolou: “…………”

Could this guy bet again, right?

*******

[Chapter 42, Financial Crisis 02-How to Make Money]

After lunch, it happened to be one o'clock noon. The three of them left the restaurant and walked around the city.

The scorching sun at noon hung high above my head, the streets were almost melted by the sun, and their feet were all hot when they stepped on the ground. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang, who were wearing sweaters, frequently attracted the attention of passers-by. Xiao Lou felt that he was about to be familiar with the sun, so he quickly found a clothing store with Team Yu and bought a cheap and cool summer outfit to change into it.

Shao Qingge wore a long-sleeved shirt and bought a short-sleeved shirt to replace it.

After changing his clothes, Xiao Lou counted the balance in his pocket, leaving 185,000.

When entering the secret room, Plum Blossom A friendly sponsored each challenger 100,000 gold coins, equivalent to 1,000 RMB. This amount of money is fine in a world where prices are normal, and it can even cost half a month.

The financial crisis will only break out tomorrow morning, and all day today is for the challenger.

The small supermarkets, tobacco hotels, and 24-hour convenience stores are all open. Xiao Lou went in and glanced at all kinds of goods. He automatically converted gold coins and RMB in his mind. A bottle of mineral water costs about 2 yuan, and the price is normal.

Anyway, there is still plenty of time, Xiao Lou approached Yu Hanjiang's ear and said, "Let's follow Shao Qingge and see how he makes money."

Yu Hanjiang had no objection, so he went to find an underground money house with Shao Qingge.

When inquiring about local news, the best way is to ask the taxi driver. Most taxi drivers will enthusiastically introduce when they encounter inquiries from tourists from other places. At noon, the streets were too hot, so the three of them simply stopped a taxi and got into the car to blow up the air conditioner.

Xiao Lou said politely: "Master, we are from other places. Please take us around the city and get familiar with it."

The driver smiled and said, "It's so good! Do you want to recommend some special snacks to you?"

Xiao Lou hurriedly said, "No need."

They are not here to visit.

The driver took the three of them for a ride, and the three of them looked out the window intently, familiarizing themselves with the environment.

The world of Spade 3 is a small city with small area. The main roads include four cross-shaped roads: East Street, West Street, South Street and North Street. At the intersection of the street, there is a central square, as well as a "department store" and "big Cross Life Supermarket".

These four main roads are all two-way four-lane, which is very wide. The other streets are two-way single-lane, connected to the four main roads. The whole city is square and easy to recognize.
