It's not difficult to find out someone's schedule. Wen Shi has been dining at restaurants in person lately, sitting in his preferred seat. If he doesn't show up for two consecutive days, it's likely he's out of the game.
It can even be more accurate. The president of the Puppet Guild has a divination tool. It is useless for predicting big things, but it is very practical for calculating small things that may happen in the near future.
As he was enthusiastically planning, Zhou Xiaochun sighed in his hotel room:
"Don't do divination lightly, it will bring misfortune."
Before Wen Shixia's dungeon, Zhou Xiaochun forced himself to do a divination at the cost of suffering backlash.
Considering this friendship, Wen Shi arranged a meeting with the player, saying that he could borrow items from him when he needed to complete a high-difficulty dungeon. High-quality items were difficult to rent on the market, and the risk was too high. Once a player died, the items would be reclaimed by the game.
The clues Zhou Xiaochun divined were useful and more specific than Boss Mei's reminder. However, after Jian Qingrong came up with the answer, they were basically of no use.
"Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to come across a dungeon where I can activate dual skills. After all, divination has a 50% chance of backfiring."
Wen Shi nodded: "Don't be too pessimistic, there are always exceptions."
Turtle Man is a breath of fresh air in the world of divination.
While the two were chatting, Wen Shi received a letter from the host. Jian Qingrong couldn't contact him in the virtual world and could only rely on the host to pass on the message.
When he saw the content, he subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
Jian Qingrong actually asked the game for a one-day free trip to the real world, and the main thing was to bring his family with him. With the other party's action, Wen Shi couldn't use the incident of the Golden City to blame him.
Could it be that he also consulted the turtle man for divination and knew that I was going to get angry?
Seeing that Wen Shi was beginning to lose focus mid-sentence, Zhou Xiaochun waved his hand in front of Wen Shi's face, "What are you daydreaming about?"
Regarding the friendly forces, Wen Shi came to his senses and said frankly: "I just planned to go back to the real world soon."
Zhou Xiaochun was excited when he heard that. "Are you close to Tianhai City? If so, you should definitely visit the Pipiweng Theme Park. I heard from friends that the facilities there are very good, and they recently built a floating restaurant."
Pipiweng Theme Park is one of Pei Hongxin's company's industries. Wen Shi went there shortly after it opened, and that time he was with Ji Yuanzhi.
"It's a good idea to revisit an old place with a different mood."
Wen Shi's voice was so soft that Zhou Xiaochun didn't hear it clearly and was still recommending projects to him.
After half an hour of pleasantries, Zhou Xiaochun prepared to leave. Before leaving, he reminded him, "Be careful when you go into the real world. I heard from our president that the situation is quite tense lately."
Ji Yuanzhi's move was too big. He was openly using a hoe to poach people, and after that he even threw some dirt on the face of the president of Wangcai Bank.
It is now rumored that Pei Wenwei also played an important role in this action against the bank.
Wen Shi smiled and said, "I'm planning to go to the theme park tomorrow. Can you tell me if I can get the news out without arousing suspicion?"
Zhou Xiaochun was stunned and exclaimed, "Ah!"
"A gentleman helps others achieve their goals." Wen Shi's smile made Zhou Xiaochun get goose bumps for no reason.
"That's not difficult," Zhou Xiaochun thought for a moment, "I can sell information through the mouths of people in the black market."
After he left, Wen Shi contacted the host again and wrote a letter asking him to tell Jian Qingrong the specific meeting time and place.
The host quickly replied: [Don't you have a mouth? ]
After the curse was lifted, the host's fighting power returned. After a while, Wen Shi received another complaint from the other party.
[The next article is called "The Consequences of a Long-Distance Relationship." What do you two think I am? A telephone receiver?]
Wen Shi calmly replied with two words: [Magpie Bridge].
[...]
The host stopped the bombardment of letters.
Sitting quietly on the big bed, Wen Shi seriously considered other possible problems: "Will I get lost?"
It was a strange world, and even if Jian Qingrong was told the place name in advance, he might not be able to find it.
Wen Shi soon put his worries aside. Xie Tangyan and the others had been there before and should have experience. Besides, the game wanted Jian Qingrong to move around in as small a range as possible. Maybe it would even take the initiative to teleport him to a designated location.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Before ten o'clock the next day, Wen Shi prepared the pass, and the moment he used it, he felt the familiar burning sensation.
The game earned so much hard-earned money from players, but no one knows where it went, and the transmission experience is extremely bad.
"It hurts so much…"
Everything around him distorted and disappeared. Before the three words could be spread out, Wen Shi's body shook heavily. The young man's figure overlapped with the light coming in from the window and quickly disappeared in the floating dust.

Tianhai City, Pipiweng Theme Park.
Dynamic music floated in the air, and staff in puppet costumes waved and greeted tourists at the gate.
Today is the weekend, and the number of visitors to the amusement park has exploded. The line of people buying tickets outside the gate alone is like a dragon, almost winding to the intersection far away.
While customers were complaining about the large crowds, they were also happily taking photos and chatting.
It has been a long time since I saw such a lively and real scene. Wen Shi, who had just taken a taxi, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Before leaving the virtual world, he changed into sportswear, white sneakers and a baseball cap, looking young and energetic.
"Look over there." The girl passing by winked at her friend. Of course, they wanted to look at the handsome guy together.
Wen Shi did not wear sunglasses to cover his face. If someone wanted to do something today, he could only choose to respect and bless them.
Walking towards the place with the most people in front, Wen Shi looked around all the way, looking for Jian Qingrong and the others.
"younger brother."
A cool and pleasant voice came from the shade of a tree not far away.
Wen Shi stopped and looked, and almost choked on his saliva at one glance.
The woman standing under the tree had long hair that was red with a hint of light brown, and her clothes were brightly colored. She looked much more restrained than the "Shamatte" girl in my memory, but at first glance, she still had a strong visual impact.
"sister..."
When Wen Shi approached, his tone was filled with a hint of confusion. In the past, it was to hide the true appearance, but what was the purpose now?
When he saw the young man next to him, his pupils shrank.
The boy wore a mask, and the uncovered areas revealed large areas of fake scars, which obviously continued the disguise of disfigurement.
Ah Sang and the old lady were much more normal. Ah Sang supported the old lady, as if she was too old to walk and he was seriously respecting her. Wen Shi looked around but didn't see Jian Qingrong and Yaerlin. Ah Yu was not there either.
Knowing what he was looking for, Xie Tangyan said, "Some minor issues need to be resolved. They all went in first."
Xie Tangyan walked in front and handed in the ticket directly at the entrance.
Wen Shi was curious: "Where did the ticket come from?"
They don't have electronic devices, and now there are so many people.
Xie Tangyan smiled but said nothing.
The park was packed with people.
I came here once during my stay in Wenzhou. Most of the popular projects are located in the inner area, so it is unusual to see so many people here.
Crazy cheers came from the front. Xie Tangyan led Wen Shi towards the source of the sound. It turned out that there was a large stage there. The blood-red brooch on the magician's chest reflected the sunlight and happened to pierce Wen Shi's eyes.
With his hands covering his forehead, Wen Shi looked further over and saw the magician leisurely walking forward with a black cloth.
The next second, Wen Shi was stunned. Yaerlin? ! !
Yarlin was wearing a retro dark tuxedo with a white shirt underneath, no bow tie and a slightly open collar. The top hat and elegant movements made him look like a gentleman.
"For you." He turned his wrist slightly, and countless white doves automatically formed the shape of a heart.
The audience shouted "Wow" and thunderous applause rang out again.
Wen Shi opened his mouth. Could anyone explain to him why his unruly elder brother started showing off his talents on stage?
Despite his disguised disfigured appearance, the boy's voice still held an indescribable charm. "If I can't buy tickets, I'll talk to the person in charge and ask him to perform on the condition that he gives us some free tickets."
Wen Shi was surprised that Yaerlin actually agreed.
"If you don't agree, you'll have to cut in line some other way," the boy said, looking distressed. "If anyone behaves in such an uncivilized manner, I'll report it to my brother."
Everyone should abide by the order. Just like he could clearly deceive the person in charge to get a ticket, he still chose to exchange it through the paid labor of others.
"But..." The boy suddenly chuckled, "Being a magician makes it easier to solve some problems, so he's willing to do it."
Wen Shi blinked. Extra things?
Xie Tangyan had mentioned earlier that Jian Qingrong and Ayu were resolving some minor issues. He seemed to have guessed something and murmured, "Don't have the intention to harm others."
In the sea of laughter and joy, the five people took advantage of the cover of the floats to quietly observe the direction where Wen Shi was.
"We found our target."
There were several groups of people in total, but they would be too conspicuous if they gathered together, so they split into several groups to guard the junctions of different areas to ensure that the target had nowhere to escape.
"I haven't done anything to disguise my appearance, could it be a scam?"
"Cheating with children and old people?"
Wen Shi held Ah Sang's hand. The staff thought the old lady had difficulty walking and provided her with a free wheelchair. From any angle, this was an ordinary family gathering.
Soon after Ji Yuanzhi found Wen Shi's information, he went to great lengths to cover up his past, even erasing some of his personal records. It would take a long time for others to track down past information.
The tall and thin man who had just raised the question thought it made sense. The source of the information this time was more accurate. It was sold by an elite player on the black market, and the other party's information was rarely wrong.
"Let's go, let's try to finish this quickly."
Now is the best time. Everyone's attention is on the magician and they won't notice anything unusual around them.
Several people began to approach quietly. When there was only two or three meters left, the tall and thin man holding the poison needle accelerated towards Wen Shi.
Just at such a critical moment, the tall and thin man's knees inexplicably softened and he fell to the ground.
"Shit." The poison needle nearly hit him. His accomplice looked at him with a look of disappointment. Just as he was about to pull him up, the magician on the stage suddenly said teasingly into the microphone, "The gentleman in the grey shirt... yes, that's you. You fell because you couldn't wait to see the show..."
The audience reflexively turned around and looked at the tall and thin man who had just climbed up.
"You are today's lucky audience! How about cooperating with me in performing a magic trick?"
The tall and thin man was about to refuse, but was worried that it would arouse suspicion. Generally, the audience who stayed here to watch magic would not easily refuse such a request.
Just as he was considering whether to pretend that he had fallen too hard to pass, the child led by Wen Shi said, "Uncle, they are calling you, go quickly."
There was envy sparkling in the child's innocent eyes.
The tall and thin man glanced quickly at Wen Shi.
He would wait until the performance was underway to find another opportunity to strike. So he naturally handed the doll keychain to his accomplice, and the poison needle was hidden inside.
The crowd made way for him, and in the pleasant weather, the tall and thin man finally stood on the stage, and suddenly felt a little chilly.
The magician was standing next to him, half a head taller than him, with an evil smile on his handsome face.
"Are you ready?"
The player's sixth sense sounded an alarm, and the tall and thin man had the urge to back out, but the magician had already shaken out the wide black cloth in his hand.
The black cloth was as soft and smooth as silk. As soon as Yarlin let go, it automatically stretched out in the air, and the tall and thin man was immediately immersed in a black shadow.
Three, two, one!
In just three seconds, the black cloth fell off, the tall and thin man disappeared, and a large group of white doves flew out from behind the black cloth.
Everyone was stunned.
Even the other four people who were originally planning to take the opportunity to assassinate Wen Shi were stunned. They had seen many magic tricks, but this one had no trace at all.
"Ahhh, that's amazing!!"
Amidst the cheers, the magician pointed his snow-white gloves at the others and said, "Would you like to come find your friends?"
The boy had walked up to them at some point and said in a bewitching tone, "Go play."
My head felt dizzy instantly, and two players with weak willpower walked up first.
Yarlin smiled and said, "The name of this magic trick is 'Find a Friend'."
A child held by his parents sang playfully: "Looking for friends..."
A group of children found it very interesting and started clapping and singing along.
Yarlin covered and lifted the wide black cloth, and the two people who had just come on stage disappeared again in the nursery rhyme.
"How did he do that?" The player, having regained consciousness, looked bewildered. "How about you go up and take a look?"
"You idiot!" His accomplice slapped him on the head. Something was clearly not right. "Run!"
