Chapter 11
Official Meeting
When Tiger Girl entered the Dragon Kingdom's official conference room, the first row of the conference table was still empty, while the other seats were already fully occupied.
She spotted Li Hao's seat immediately; her seat was right next to his.
Tiger Girl jumped onto Li Hao's shoulder, "You scared me to death! I thought you were going to get lost..."
Li Hao turned around. "It's okay, I'm back." He forced a smile, his face pale and bloodless.
Then a row of middle-aged men entered the venue in an orderly fashion and sat down in the first row.
These people were high-ranking officials from the Dragon Kingdom regarding dangerous areas, and they convened an emergency meeting because of the main battle tank model that Li Hao had brought with him.
All the leaders put down their work and gathered here. Tiger Girl and Manager Wang, who was sitting next to her, were also summoned by a sudden notice.
After everyone was seated, a liaison officer placed a transparent square box in the center of the first table in the conference room.
Inside was the model of that main battle tank.
"I won't go into the reasons for this last-minute gathering, as you're all probably already paying attention to this matter."
"First of all, I would like to congratulate Comrade Li Hao and Comrade Hu Linlin on their outstanding performance in this operation."
The leader who then spoke put down the microphone and led the applause, which filled the entire conference room.
"Let's get straight to the point now."
Because the event was sudden and of great importance, there was little formality or empty talk; the meeting went straight to the point.
"Of all the main battle tank models in the world, only the United States has ever obtained one. Its specific effects are highly classified by them. Now we have also acquired one, and the authorities hope that it will remain with them for research purposes for the time being. Is the representative of the Dragon Club willing to do so?"
"It is our honor to serve the country," the man sitting next to Li Hao replied, standing up. He had received a call from headquarters before coming, instructing him to follow the official leadership's instructions.
The leader on the stage nodded and continued, "Now, taking this opportunity, let's have our two meritorious officers today introduce the specific details of the new danger zone, starting with Comrade Li Hao."
Li Hao stood up from his seat. He had to report diligently on every new map exploration mission, and he had done it many times before, so he knew the process.
I was a little nervous because I'd never seen so many high-ranking officials before, the kind I usually only see on TV.
"Leaders, according to our exploration, the dangerous area is a prison, and we..." Li Hao then briefly described their encounter over the next ten minutes.
However, the conversation ended with Tiger Girl's departure, and they didn't continue.
The leader didn't ask any further questions, but instead asked Tiger Girl to share her opinion.
Then, "Well, in other words, there are a few things that make this map different from other maps: First, the resource points are extremely abundant and the quality of the items is higher; second, the map is larger than other maps and has a vertical, three-dimensional layout with a complex interior; third, the NPCs are different from those on other maps and have specific tactics."
The leader then looked at Li Hao and asked, "Comrade Li Hao, do you have anything to add? For example, how did you obtain the main battle tank?"
What was bound to happen finally happened. Since the live broadcast glasses were damaged and there was no recording, the rest of the content could only be recalled and narrated by Li Hao.
"When I was severely injured, that special NPC didn't kill me."
"He introduced himself as the warden of this prison, named Gherros, and said he liked what I did and wanted to make a deal with me."
"At that time, I had lost the ability to resist, and since my weapons had been disarmed, I could not commit suicide, so I could only agree."
"So he took all my supplies, gave me the main battle tank, and dumped me at the evacuation point."
"And that Japanese man, without the warden's approval, tried to sneak out by simply sealing his cigarettes, but he was caught and taken back."
After telling the story, Li Hao's heart was pounding. He secretly observed the expressions of everyone present, afraid that someone would notice something amiss.
To his surprise, the leaders didn't suspect anything. What he didn't know was that the official leaders had already had a brief discussion beforehand and concluded that the BOSS on this map was likely to trigger certain quests.
Now it matches up!
……
The meeting lasted for about an hour before it was adjourned.
"Manager Zhang, congratulations! Dragon Club has won another big prize!"
After the meeting, Manager Wang congratulated the man next to Li Hao, then looked at Li Hao.
"We are very grateful to Comrade Li Hao for taking care of our Tiger Girl while we were in the danger zone." Manager Wang extended his right hand and shook hands with Li Hao.
"This is a small token of appreciation from the Phoenix Cry Club, and also as compensation for you. Take it," Manager Wang handed Li Hao a black card. "There are 50 Dragon Coins in the card, no password."
Manager Zhang clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Manager Wang, you're too kind. It's only right that our two clubs help each other. We'll be leaving now."
"Okay, take care!"
After the two walked away, Manager Wang looked at Tiger Girl beside him and laughed, "How's it going? Feeling better now? He's done a great job, he doesn't need your little incident. He might not hang out with you next time we meet!"
Tiger Girl's face flushed slightly. "What are you saying! Who played with him?"
Hahahaha
……
Hahahaha
Han Che sat in his office chair and burst into laughter.
"Damn it! What are you even capable of?! What are you even capable of?!"
Han Che just asked the system six or seven questions in a row, and the system answered almost nothing, simply replying with "Please explore on your own, host."
Han Che was so angry he laughed!
"Alright, alright, I won't ask you how to get into the players' worlds anymore. These glasses! Didn't you say they could connect to their live streams? Let me connect and see."
[Okay, connecting to the live stream will require 5 from your personal account. Connecting, remaining balance 10]
"What? Does it cost money? Or is it in my personal account?"
Han Che was shocked once again and quickly got up from his chair, waving his hands frantically.
"Stop, stop, I said stop, I'm not playing anymore, I said I'm not playing anymore!"
[Connection complete, please check]
"I'll f*** you!"
Han Che was no longer wearing Geheros's white mask, and he was so angry that his face turned red and he cursed at the air, but he received no response.
After he had been ranting for more than ten minutes, he got tired of cursing and slumped back into his chair.
"Damn it, what sins did I commit in my past lives? I'm still this poor even after being reborn! I had to spend 5 yuan just to watch a live stream!"
The thought of this made him furious. "These birds, they're all struggling..."
I opened the live stream interface that I had paid 5 yuan for.
"China's Dragon Kingdom has achieved a massive success; insiders speculate there may be more to the story!"
"Shocking! Main battle tank models can actually be used like this!"
"Fun fact: Main battle tank models are more expensive than quantum storage!"
Can you tell us something that people don't know? Han Che looked at the live stream title, which was full of UC sensationalist style, and felt so embarrassed.
After scrolling through the videos, I found one from an official Chinese video website.
"The new name of the danger zone has been changed to prison. After expert evaluation, the prison will be opened in three days. The operation will be coordinated by the United Nations and will involve the Dragon Kingdom Phoenix Cry Club, the Bear Kingdom Katyusha Club, the United States Bald Eagle Association Club, and the Japanese Samurai Sword Club."
"Do all the players already know when I'm opening the prison?" Han Che thought to himself.
"System, can I change the opening time of the Tidal Prison?"
[Host, the start time has been confirmed by you and cannot be changed.]
"..." I didn't expect that players could grasp the information about the prison so quickly.
Han Du suddenly felt that the 50,000 was well spent, as he could now learn about the players' plans in advance!
