The teenager's accent and grammar were quite peculiar, leaving the group somewhat puzzled.
Qi Xia carefully pondered the situation before him; this youth was clearly from the "Heaven Gate," but why would he appear here?
"Are you...?" Officer Li asked.
"Brother, my name is Jin Yuanxun." The handsome young man revealed a slight smile on his face, bowed to Officer Li again, then looked up and asked, "Excuse me, which one of you is Brother Qi Xia?"
Everyone turned to look in Qi Xia's direction.
Qi Xia could only step forward with a sense of helplessness and said, "I am."
"Great, brother, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
"Waiting for me?"
"Yes." Jin Yuanxun nodded, "I have a question to ask you."
No one present except Qi Xia had ever met Jin Yuanxun, and they all wore puzzled expressions.
Xiao Ran took a step back at this moment and asked cautiously, "Brother Qi, why do you have an acquaintance here?"
Qi Xia ignored Xiao Ran and instead pondered Jin Yuanxun's motives.
"You've been waiting here for me just to ask me a question?"
It seemed he knew what the other party was going to ask.
"That's right." Jin Yuanxun nodded, "Brother, could we talk privately?"
Qi Xia nodded and followed Jin Yuanxun a few steps away.
"Brother, someone told me to ask you, 'On which day did you arrive here'?"
Upon hearing this question, Qi Xia thought for a moment, as if calculating something.
Could the "Heaven Gate" be trusted?
If they were still like last time, running around in the "Land of the End" like headless flies, the outcome would likely not be good. Given this, it might as well trust Chu Tianqiu this once.
Qi Xia replied in a low voice, "My physical body has been here for eleven days, and my consciousness for only four."
"Yahseebah..." Jin Yuanxun cursed under his breath, "Brother Chu is truly a man like a god..."
"What did you say?" Qi Xia was taken aback, looking at the young man before him.
"Brother, to be honest, we are all here on the first day, but today I asked several people this question as instructed by Brother Chu, and no one answered 'the first day'... Do you think Brother Chu knows something?"
Chu Tianqiu certainly knew something.
If he guessed correctly, he also retained the memory from the last time.
But what Qi Xia was concerned about was the second matter: why did Chu Tianqiu ask this question last time? Had he already retained his memory then?
Could it be...
That they had been here longer than them?
Qi Xia had experienced two cycles, but Chu Tianqiu had gone through more?
He could retain his memory every time, so he was selecting teammates based on his memory?
In that case, the strength of the "Heaven Gate" should be beyond Qi Xia's imagination.
Seeing the two talking in hushed tones, Xiao Ran came over at an inappropriate time, pretending to be casual and asking, "What are you talking about?"
Jin Yuanxun smiled slightly and said, "Brother, let's go back, the following words need to be told to all of you."
...
Jin Yuanxun stood in front of the group again and asked, "Everyone, we are now gathering a group of capable individuals to establish an organization to conquer the game together. Now Brother Qi Xia has passed the leader's question and is allowed to join. Are you interested in that?"
"What kind of organization did you say... What does it do?" Officer Li asked cautiously.
"Oh, it's like a group that participates in the game strategy together, brother," Jin Yuanxun said, "There are many types of games, and we can let some people participate in certain games in a targeted way."
Officer Li stared at Jin Yuanxun carefully for a long time, then asked, "Are you of Korean descent?"
"Yes, brother," Jin Yuanxun nodded, "I live in the Yanbian area where everyone rarely speaks Han language, so I'm not very good at it. Please forgive me if I'm not clear."
Officer Li nodded, and there were also many Mongolian people in his city.
"Who asked you to find us?" Qiao Jia Jin asked.
"It's a brother who came out of the room with me, named Chu Tianqiu," Jin Yuanxun replied seriously, "He is a very smart person, and I am executing one of his orders."
Qi Xia reached out and stroked his chin, carefully considering this matter.
To be honest, he didn't understand Chu Tianqiu.
All he knew about this person was limited to "he has a note that can escape from here."
"Jin Yuanxun, did Chu Tianqiu only invite me?" Qi Xia asked.
"Yes, but not exactly," Jin Yuanxun patiently explained, "Brother Chu invited you like this, but you can take your people as you wish. A brother named Zhang Shan just came, and he also brought his own people."
"Zhang Shan..." Hearing this name, the faces of Old Lu and Little Glasses suddenly appeared in Qi Xia's mind.
He now somewhat understood why Zhang Shan joined with these two people, as they were indeed worthy of being teammates.
Qi Xia looked back at the eight people beside him and suddenly had an idea.
Taking these eight people rashly to participate in the game would naturally have many variables. Since the number of people is already so large, it might as well take everyone directly to join the "Heaven Gate."
In this way, they can get rid of the burden and try to get the note.
The best way to make a drop of ink disappear is to drop it into the ocean.
"Can we nine join together?" Qi Xia asked again.
"Yes, Brother Chu said that as long as you agree to join, we will try to meet your requirements."
Everyone began to hesitate at this point.
They were willing to join Qi Xia's team because they had seen his methods with their own eyes.
But can this "Chu Tianqiu," who has not yet appeared, be trusted?
"Everyone, I am going to join 'Chu Tianqiu's' organization," Qi Xia said before everyone could think it through, "If you agree, you can come with us; if you don't agree, you can act on your own."
Everyone showed a hesitant expression after hearing this.
"Oh, right." Jin Yuanxun added, "According to Brother Chu, it will be difficult for you to get food and water in the coming days, but our organization will try to ensure the food distribution for everyone."
"Is that so good?" Qiao Jia Jin was still a bit skeptical, "You provide us with free food and drink, what's the purpose?"
After hearing this, Jin Yuanxun looked around at everyone and said, "Our goal is to conquer all the games, there are no idle people in the organization, so all members must obey Brother Chu's command, and he will lead us out."
"All games..." Everyone was stunned for a moment, isn't it just a matter of collecting three thousand six hundred "Dao" to get out?
Why conquer all the games?
"How is the 'Dao' distributed?" Xiao Ran asked.
"The more you work, the more you get," Jin Yuanxun replied, "Brother Chu doesn't care much about 'Dao', so you don't have to worry."
Qi Xia found that Chu Tianqiu seemed to be taking a very strange path.
All of this is probably related to the "note" in his hand.
Could it be that the method of leaving recorded in the note is not to collect "Dao," but to conquer all the games?
"Brother Qi Xia, what do you think?" Jin Yuanxun finally confirmed Qi Xia's mind.
"There's nothing more to say, I'm in," Qi Xia said.
