I picked up a boyfriend in the infinite game

"Where's the man? Don't let him run away!"

"If we catch him and force him to form a team, his points will be ours!"

"What a bad luck! He ran pretty fast."

……

Hearing several men shouting and cursing from the corner behind him, Song Guicheng didn't give it any time to think. He opened the dark door and hid inside.

After crossing the high threshold, you will see a courtyard paved with bluestone slabs. There is a dark blue path extending from your feet to the depths of the courtyard, dividing the courtyard into two parts.

Song Guicheng stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, but decided to go in, even if it was just to ask someone where the hotel was.

Walking along the gravel path, there are eternal lamps lit on both sides of the road, illuminating the road under your feet clearly. There are a few clumps of green bamboo planted nearby, which inexplicably complement the name "traveler".

The road became narrower and narrower, until in the end only one person could pass through. However, after walking another half a mile, the road in front of us suddenly opened up.

The lights in the courtyard flickered, reflecting the rockery, pine stones, and flowing pond. It was summer, the water in the pond was turquoise, and the lotus leaves stood on the blue waves, like layers of green waves.

The magnificent pavilions are built by the water, with brilliant lights, like a palace floating on the water.

Song Guicheng was amazed. Even though he came from a wealthy family in the real world, he had rarely seen buildings of this scale.

The glazed tiles, jade steps, carved beams and painted buildings were so magnificent that even he would have to exclaim in admiration.

The door of the pavilion was ajar, as if waiting for someone.

Song Guicheng stood at the door, straightened his clothes, and then rang the doorbell.

"knock knock"

"Come in——" a soft female voice came from inside.

He opened the door and walked in. The light scent like rain hitting lotus flowers invaded his nose.

The roof of the pavilion was decorated with sandalwood beams, with candles hung every three feet. The pale yellow light illuminated the room and made the pearl curtains sparkle.

Although luxurious, the place is not big.

Near the door was a counter, with a pearl curtain separating the front and back. A woman with her hair tied up high was sitting behind the counter, resting her head on her arms and looking Song Guicheng up and down leisurely.

"Hello," he said, "Excuse me, where is this place?"

The woman chuckled, and the jade pendant beside her ear swayed slightly as she moved: "Inn, can't you see?"

Song Guicheng: ...I really can’t tell.

But since this is a hotel, it really is a piece of cake to get here.

He took stock of the store's furnishings for a day, glanced at his points balance, and asked politely, "How much is a night's stay?"

The woman glanced at him and said, "A regular room costs 1000 points a night."

Song Guicheng:? Sorry for disturbing you. I shouldn’t have asked.

He immediately wanted to get out of the hotel in a smooth manner.

The woman tapped her red nails on the table and said slowly, "Of course, you can also exchange it for something else. This time, the best newcomer."

"You..." Song Guicheng stared at her for a while, the woman's expression was still so nonchalant.

It doesn't seem surprising to know who he is, as he can open a hotel like this in this world and his behavior is not like that of an ordinary person.

The doubt in his heart soon calmed down, and he asked, "What do you want in exchange?"

The woman seemed very satisfied with his tact. She nodded and said, "For example, tell me your intelligence in detail."

"Oh?" Hearing her words, Song Guicheng couldn't help but laugh, "It would be a big loss to exchange all my information for this night's accommodation fee."

"Your name must have spread," the woman raised her head and gestured outside, "but there are many people eyeing you covetously."

Song Guicheng frowned, weighed the pros and cons and said, "Three nights."

The woman yawned, took out a wooden sign from the drawer and handed it to him: "Deal."

My information was only exchanged for three nights' accommodation, which was not a good deal. But looking at the woman's appearance, I always felt that she had some trick up her sleeve.

He opened his backpack and found a box in the second storage compartment. When he opened it, he found an instrument similar to the Yin-Yang Bagua plate.

Even when compressed and put into a backpack, you can still see that it is exquisitely made, with clear black and white and the Bagua diagram painted on it.

[Congratulations, you have received the new player reward: Tai Chi Bagua Plate (can be used once in each copy)

Effect: Replaces the state of the player with that of the designated target (please use with caution, the consequences are immeasurable)]

"You haven't told me what your new member reward is?" The woman asked, seeing that he was in a daze.

Song Guicheng replied: "Paper figurine, F-level, I don't know what it does, but it can be upgraded."

He subconsciously concealed the rookie reward he received and replaced it with the items dropped from the copy.

"The paper figurine may be a manipulative one," the woman mused, "and can be upgraded. It will probably take a long time before we can see its effect."

"Is there a basis for the issuance of rewards to new employees?" Song Guicheng asked softly.

The woman slowly walked out from behind the counter: "Don't you know that you have to pay to answer questions here?"

Song Guicheng: "I won't ask anymore. I can take it back. You don't have to answer me."

"Puff," the woman opened the curtain and led Song Guicheng up the steps on the right. "Consider this a gift to you. Let me introduce myself. My last name is Qian."

Her skin was white, and looked even more translucent under the candlelight, making the black hair by her ears look as black as the cloud-top sandalwood.

"It didn't say there was any basis for it, but based on all the information I've collected, what you got is what you thought."

She only said this much, and the two of them came to the door of a side room. Song Guicheng pushed the door and it opened.

"Each wooden sign corresponds to its own room. Only the person with the wooden sign can open the door. Don't lose it." Boss Qian gave him some instructions and went downstairs.

The room was clean and fresh, with a window facing south. In the middle of the room stood a round carved table with a faint scent of incense burning. Against the wall stood a wooden top cabinet, which contained a square couch and several square stools.

Song Guicheng poured himself a cup of tea, which turned out to be the best Pu'er tea. It seemed that this small hotel held a lot of secrets.

He took two sips, turned on the electronic screen, and then searched for the things he had not explored during the day.

As expected, the friend column was empty with “0”. He opened the map and a picture slowly unfolded before his eyes.

The Soul Tracking World mainly consists of five districts, with the four surrounding districts surrounding the main urban area in the center. Currently, only the area in the lower right corner of his map is lit up, showing the Moon City.

[Moon City: The oldest urban area, an ancient city with mountains and rivers, the birthplace of new players. Your journey will start here, please work hard to go further! ]

The propaganda slogans are inspiring, but the copy world harvests people's lives without mercy.

Song Guicheng simply washed up and fell on the bed. The quilt was also filled with the scent of incense, which soothed his heart.

There were many problems in his mind that needed to be solved, but his reason told him that the information he received today was too complex and he couldn't process it all, otherwise he would probably collapse.

So he turned over in his bed, put aside all his worries, and fell asleep peacefully.

There is a different sound at night, like the breeze and the movement of clouds.

In the middle of the night, Song Guicheng was awakened by the noise downstairs. He subconsciously did not move, then he remembered that he had left the copy world.

After laughing at himself, he put on his clothes, walked out of the room, and looked down while leaning on the railing.

It seemed that there were more guests in the hotel. The sound of conversation could be heard from downstairs, and both sides' voices were very low.

Song Guicheng withdrew his gaze with disinterest and was about to go back to his room. The moment he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of the proprietress leading two people up the stairs on the left.

One had dyed red hair, and the other was the young man who had reminded him at the city gate.
