I'm the director of Interstellar Sanatorium

Chapter 161 Dinner
After entering the upper city, the surrounding environment changed, and even the sky became brighter.

The artificial sunlight slowly rises from the east, if the environment is not right, Xiao Di even has the illusion of returning to the earth.

There were not many people who entered the upper city at the same time as Xiao Di, and at the same time, she only saw two contestants with injuries coming up from the lower city.

She looked down at the terminal, and saw that there were only [-] remaining teams, and the number of contestants had also decreased a lot.

She clicked on the communication channel with her teammates, and just about to send a message, she saw that the chat channel was still in a gray and closed state, and there was a one-hour countdown displayed on it.

Seeing that he couldn't contact his teammates for the time being, Xiao Di didn't stay any longer, wrapped his hood tightly around his body and walked forward.

The artificial sunlight does not give a warm feeling to the body, and the surrounding inorganic metal buildings and extremely fast vehicles in mid-air always make Xiao Di have an indescribable dislike for this city.

Passing through an alley, Xiao Di was about to turn a corner, but at this moment, a reminder sound came from the terminal.

【Hidden task 3: Attend the party held by Grand Duke Bruce and steal his ruby. Be careful not to let Bruce find out. 】

Xiao Di called out the competition map, searched for the address of Grand Duke Bruce's house on it, stepped on the New Year's greeting sword and slid towards his house.

Not long after Xiaodi left the entrance, Zhige also entered the upper city from the lower city.

Grand Duke Bruce has a detached position in the upper city. It is no exaggeration to say that he controls half of the economic lifeline of the entire upper city.

Xiao Di was hiding behind a building not far from the manor of Grand Duke Bruce, and only then did he see the large magnetic screen erected at the gate of the manor.

[Entrance to the party is by invitation only. 】

Where can I get the invitation letter?

Xiao Di frowned, avoiding the monitoring system of the manor, and walked away quickly on the New Year's greetings.

In the busiest downtown area of ​​Uptown, Xiao Di mixed among the crowd, drinking the tasteless nutrient solution, while pricking up his ears to listen to other people talking about Grand Duke Bruce's banquet.

There was a lot of information in the crowd, Xiao Di patiently sorted it out carefully, and finally allowed her to extract useful information after half a universe.

"Where do you get the invitation letter for Grand Duke Bruce's banquet?"

"I've heard there are high prices on the black market."

"But I don't have so many star coins, what should I do?"

……

After getting the important information, Xiao Di was not in a hurry to go to the black market to find the invitation letter, but opened the communication channel with his teammates, and saw that the above block had entered the last ten-second countdown.

10、9……3、2、1、0。

The originally gray communication channel immediately became colorful, and at the same time, the news of Zhige jumped out first.

Xiao Di raised her eyebrows, and before she realized it, the corners of her lips had already curled up.

What Zhige sent was his coordinates.

She followed suit and sent out her coordinates.

The distance between the two is less than 1000 meters, Xiao Di immediately set off to meet him at Zhi Ge's location.

However, Xiao Di hadn't gone far when he saw Zhi Ge standing on the Yuanxiao sword and approaching her from afar.

Zhi Ge is tall and tall, and his chiseled face is unforgettable.

Xiao Di slowed down, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see many people around him staring at Zhi Ge on the sword, sparks almost burst out of their eyes.

But no matter how much they covet Zhige, it's useless, he is hers now.

"For the time being, we should be the only ones coming up." Xiao Di was in a good mood, and at the moment he brushed shoulders with Zhi Ge, he turned around and jumped onto the Yuanxiao Sword.

Zhi Ge stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, even though he knew she couldn't fall, he still hugged Xiao Di's waist tightly.

The moment he held Xiao Di in his arms again, Zhi Ge had a feeling of regaining what was lost.

But it was obvious that they had only been separated for a few days.

"En." Zhi Ge rested his chin lightly on the top of Xiao Di's head, and replied with a hoarse voice.

Xiao Di, the terminator of ambiguity, withdrew from his arms, "I triggered the banquet mission of Grand Duke Bruce, and I need to get the invitation letter for the banquet before tonight."

The person in his arms withdrew suddenly, Zhi Ge only felt that his arms were empty, and the hand hanging by his side curled up slightly.

But when it comes to business, Zhi Ge didn't do anything superfluous.

"I also triggered this mission." Zhi Ge told Xiao Di the information he had obtained simultaneously, "Part of the invitation letter of Grand Duke Bruce was distributed to NPCs in the upper city, and only [-] invitation letters were sent out for the taskers to compete for."

"Some of them should be available in missions, and some of them should be available on the black market."

Obviously, the two of them did not trigger the mission where the mission reward was an invitation letter, so the only choice for the two of them at this time was to go to the black market.

Although the black market sounds low, it is located in the central area of ​​the entire upper city.

Xiao Di and Zhi Ge stood under a skyscraper, followed the map guide, entered the taxi elevator, and chose the "-" floor.

At the same time as the "-" button was lit, the elevator took the two of them down rapidly.

I don't know how many meters down, the elevator suddenly turned to the left, and the strong inertia caused the unsuspecting two people to hit the wall of the elevator.

Zhi Ge's hand was on Xiao Di's shoulder, so that she didn't hurt her shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Zhi Ge's steady voice echoed slightly in the elevator.

Xiao Di shook his head, and his eyes stayed on his hand on his shoulder for a moment.

At this moment, the elevator stopped suddenly.

After a sound of "ding dong", the elevator door opened.

The two raised their heads together and looked out, and saw that there was a dark and narrow mirrored corridor outside, and two parallel light strips were inlaid on the top of the corridor to guide the direction of people's progress.

Xiao Di and Zhi Ge got out of the elevator and walked along the corridor.

At the end of the corridor is an intelligent electronic magnetic screen.

Xiao Di stretched out his hand to light up the magnetic screen, and saw a prompt popped up on the magnetic screen.

[Do you want to spend 10000 star coins to enter the black market? 】

There are two options [Yes] and [No].

"It costs money to enter the black market?!" Xiao Di cursed secretly.

Zhi Ge also frowned, but he didn't say much. He reached out to select the [Yes] option, touched his terminal to the magnetic screen twice, and swiped [-] star coins.

Once the [-] entry fee was paid, the electromagnetic door slowly opened in front of the two of them.

It was as bright as daylight behind the door, Xiao Di and Zhi Ge squinted their eyes, and it took a while to get used to the light.

This is an open trading market with numerous stalls and countless NPCs and taskers.

Xiao Di and Zhi Ge merged into the crowd and began to look for a booth selling invitation letters.

"This is really an invitation letter for the Grand Duke's dinner, don't you believe it? Then don't buy it!" A man's shrewd voice fell into the ears of Xiao Di and Zhi Ge from not far away.

The two looked at each other, and walked in that direction tacitly.
