JBMO 2018 Problem 3

Let $k>1$ be a positive integer and $n>2018$ an odd positive integer. The non-zero rational numbers $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ are not all equal and: $$x_1+\frac{k}{x_2}=x_2+\frac{k}{x_3}=x_3+\frac{k}{x_4}=\ldots=x_{n-1}+\frac{k}{x_n}=x_n+\frac{k}{x_1}$$ Find the minimum value of $k$ , such that the above relations hold.
