Chapter 162 The Third Set of Radio Gymnastics

Eunuch Liu's words stunned everyone else.

now

The other eunuchs were dumbfounded, and the players who came in were also dumbfounded. If it weren’t for my brothers, they would still be here trying to kill themselves for the mission, so how did you get promoted?

Just thinking about it.

The system panel has entered the final countdown: [Ten seconds]

【Nine Seconds】

【Eight Seconds】

The crimson task box seemed to be stained with blood. Their task this time was to get the golden melon seeds awarded by Concubine Yin, but now Eunuch Liu wanted to keep the seeds for himself. Some people tried to resist but failed. If they did not hand over the golden melon seeds, they would be dragged out and beaten to death.

The countdown panel of the system seemed like a death warrant.

When everyone saw Jian Yue supporting Eunuch Liu, all the players had mixed feelings in their minds, wondering if they should go all out and fight together?

Kill Eunuch Liu?

But they didn't dare. The newcomers here had never killed anyone, and there were so many eunuchs here that they were simply outnumbered.

Escape from here?

But where could they run to? They were unfamiliar with the huge palace and had no way to escape.

It seems like no matter which choice you make, it's a dead end.

Despair struck every tasker, and they could only watch as the task panel entered the final countdown:

【five】

【Four】

【three】

【two……】

I watched helplessly as the first time-limited mission was about to end in failure.

Jian Yue's voice came from the ground: "Eunuch Liu fainted!"

Everyone was cheered up.

"Eunuch Liu is feeling unwell and has suddenly fainted." Jian Yue held the person in his arms. He loosened his hand that was pressing on a certain acupoint on Eunuch Liu's neck and instead held it, shouting, "Hurry up and help him!"

There was another uproar in the yard.

The young eunuchs rushed over to see what was happening. Some looked for the imperial physician, while others tried to support Eunuch Liu. However, Eunuch Liu was too fat and could not be lifted at all. In the end, they ended up dragging and carrying him in a funny way. If you didn't know, you would have thought they were dragging a pig.

Jian Yue was still acting more and more devotedly beside him: "Be gentle, oh, Eunuch Liu, you have suffered a lot, be careful!"

In fact, he took advantage of the time when no one was paying attention and made Eunuch Liu on the ground knock a few more times.

Audience: “…”

Why didn't anyone give him an Oscar?

The scene was in chaos, so naturally no one thought about the golden melon seeds. After the final countdown ended, all the taskers refreshed the system panel: "【Noble Yin's Reward】 has been completed, and the task reward is one golden melon seed."

It’s actually completed!

After such an unexpected turn of events, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Many taskers even felt that the clothes on their backs were soaked with sweat, and they felt like they had crawled out of the gates of hell.

The audience in the live broadcast room also sighed:

"This ghost hasn't appeared yet."

"The difficulty of the copy is too high."

"Especially since these people have no memories, it is a huge test on the psychological quality of the new recruits."

"But this little player's acting skills, oh no, his reactions are pretty quick, quite interesting!"

When the monsters haven't come out yet, what is tested is the taskers' ability to adapt to changing circumstances. The cards in the dungeon can certainly help with survival to a certain extent, but more often than not, it still depends on the taskers themselves.

The copies of this mode are the first to be opened. If they are not completely closed, other players may enter them again later. This is equivalent to a copy without a strategy. This tests the ability of the tasker himself, and the audience will naturally pay more attention.

In the house.

Eunuch Liu lived in a single bedroom, which was not a very spacious room. There was a simple wooden bed with a yellow curtain. Everyone had a hard time putting him on the bed.

A young eunuch wanted to change Eunuch Liu's clothes.

Jian Yue said, "Let me do it. You guys bring some water and give it to the father-in-law. He must have been hot from the hard work of the night."

The young eunuchs didn't want to listen at first, but since Eunuch Liu had just praised Jian Yue and asked him to follow him, they all listened.

Jian Yue casually loosened the collar of Eunuch Liu and sent everyone else away so that no one would notice the red marks on the back of Eunuch Liu's neck. The situation was urgent at the time, so he could only knock the man out first and then make a long-term plan.

After he finished, he wanted to leave.

But unexpectedly, he saw a black brocade bag placed next to Eunuch Liu's pillow. The bag of this brocade bag was pure black, and it was bulging with something unknown inside. There was a faint smell. Jian Yue was a forensic doctor, and his sense of smell was very sensitive to some things.

Almost instantaneous.

Jian Yue narrowed his eyes. Eunuch Liu was sleeping. He glanced sideways, then slowly reached out to pick up the bag and was about to examine it carefully.

Someone outside shouted, "The doctor is here!"

Jian Yue put his things back and stood up.

There were footsteps outside, and the first thing that caught the eye was the medicine box. The person who came in was wearing a dark robe, his hair was tied up with a crown, and there were some herbal totems embroidered on his clothes. He looked to be quite old, and he came in a hurry.

The imperial physician came over to take the pulse, and everyone watched nervously until they heard the imperial physician say, "Perhaps it's because of the recent hot weather that Eunuch Liu suddenly got angry. I'll prescribe a prescription and he will be fine in two or three days."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jian Yue stood nearby and sneaked away when no one was paying attention to him.

The other players in the yard were just getting over their shock when they saw a little eunuch running into the yard and saying, "Madame Jiang is here! Madame is here to purify the house and exorcise the evil spirits!"

Purify the house and drive away evil spirits?

When the other young eunuchs heard the words "cleansing the house and exorcising evil spirits", serious and somewhat frightened expressions appeared on their faces. Fear was clearly written in their eyes, but they did not dare to show it. Not far away, a group of people holding lanterns slowly approached. They walked towards them expressionlessly in the dim night, which made people feel scared.

Nanny Jiang walked in slowly. She was old, with wrinkles and sagging flesh on her face, but her eyes were exceptionally large, sharp and deep. She stepped over the threshold in a gray robe and said, "I heard the noise in your yard from afar. What are you doing?"

A young eunuch said, "Eunuch Liu fainted from exhaustion, and the servants are taking care of him."

Nanny Jiang said, "Oh? What happened?"

The young eunuch quickly explained the whole story.

After hearing what Nanny Jiang said, she looked at Jian Yue with sharp eyes. Her eyes seemed to be scanning something, and she looked Jian Yue up and down: "Is the eunuch Liu you are taking care of?"

Jian Yue lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Nanny Jiang sneered sinisterly, her eyes glowing with a strange light, as if she was looking at some prey, slowly wanting to take someone's life: "How can you be so bad at your job that you can't even take care of one person?"

This means that trouble is about to occur.

The system panel popped up almost instantly: [Current health value reduced to 15%, warning, about to fall below the average line! ]

Jian Yue cursed in his heart. Tonight was full of twists and turns. Everyone really wants to kill him. Do you have any targets, bosses?

He complained in his heart.

Seeing that Nanny Jiang was about to come over, the young eunuch beside Jian Yue knelt down and said, "To answer Nanny, when we were coming back, a eunuch was ignorant and bumped into the eunuch, and the eunuch fainted because of anger."

After she finished speaking, Nanny Jiang stopped walking. She looked at Jian Yue with a hint of regret in her eyes. She could only say, "I see. Well, there are always so many blind servants in this palace. I advise you to be more sensible, otherwise you don't know who will be the next to lose your head!"

Everyone hurriedly said in unison: "Remember Madam's teachings."

Nanny Jiang was satisfied, and she said to the people behind her, "Let's prepare to purify the house and exorcise the evil spirits."

Behind her was a group of palace maids, each holding a tray with an incense burner and water in a copper basin on top of the tray.

After the order was given.

The palace maids then separated and acted. They clearly divided the work and placed the stove into the room where the eunuchs usually lived. They lit it and burned incense. Madam Jiang took a basin and sprinkled water everywhere. Finally, she bent over the painting in the center of the room, muttering something.

The other eunuchs all knelt down, not daring to look up.

All I could hear was Nanny Jiang chanting loudly: "Heaven sends down evil, all evil retreats, protect me Daqian, I am immune to all poisons, my lord will live forever!"

She muttered a lot more, but Jian Yue only heard these few sentences.

He was kneeling, surrounded by his fellow players.

A little player couldn't help but whispered: "What is she saying? Why don't I understand a word she said?"

The words fell.

The eunuch next to him said, "You are looking for death. This is a blessing ceremony. How dare you speak at this time?"

The others were silent for a moment.

Nanny Jiang in front was concentrating on sprinkling water and praying. When she finished, she swept her eyes over everyone and said slowly, "The blessing ceremony is over."

Everyone thought it ended here.

But the other eunuchs gathered around almost instantly, and they all begged, "Auntie, please give me a sachet to drive away evil spirits."

Many eunuchs handed over valuables.

Nanny Jiang gave a look to the maids around her, and they took out sachets from the tray and gave them to the eunuchs.

Jian Yue and others finally realized it.

I was wondering what golden melon seeds were used for, and turns out they are here!

Seeing that everyone else had gone to exchange their sachets, Jian Yue and the others naturally could not be too different, and they hurried over to exchange their golden melon seeds for sachets.

After receiving the money, Nanny Jiang looked much better. She then said, "This is a special sachet made by the Imperial Master to ward off evil spirits. It can only be used by the nobles in the palaces. It is the Imperial Master's kindness that allows you to wear it. You should kneel down and worship the painting more devoutly in your daily life. This is the only way to repay the Imperial Master!"

The young eunuchs almost all nodded and bowed: "We will definitely remember the kindness of the Imperial Master!"

National teacher.

Jian Yue secretly memorized these two words. It had only been less than a day since he arrived at this copy, but this person's name had appeared repeatedly in his mind.

He’s probably a big shot.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Xue family?

Jian Yue looked at the panel showing the main storyline progress at 0 and fell into deep thought. Are all the copies given by this system so difficult?

never mind.

He now has too few clues, so he has to remember everything he can suspect.

"Curfew is about to begin." Someone called out, "Go home and wash up, because you still have work to do tomorrow!"

Everyone went back one after another.

Jian Yue still remembered which room he came out of. He had a good memory, so he just walked back.

When I entered the room, I saw a bunk bed with several quilts on it.

Those who followed him in were all the players who went to deliver things together today. As soon as the door was closed, everyone couldn't hold back any longer.

First there was collective silence.

Then a thin boy covered his face and cried, "Where on earth is this place?"

The person who closed the door was a tall, dark-skinned man. Jian Yue remembered that he was the one who knelt down and spoke to Nanny Jiang when she was interrogating her.

The tall man said, "Okay, what's the point of crying? Now that we are all here, we are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope. Human life is cheaper than grass in this place. The most important thing now is to understand the situation and complete the system's tasks together to survive."

He has great command abilities.

After a while, with his encouragement, the four or five newcomers calmed down.

Jian Yue went outside to get some water and came back to sit at the table to wash his feet. The tall man walked up to him and said, "Let me introduce myself. You are also a tasker, right? My name is Gao Fei, and my identity here is Xiao Lizi. What about you?"

"Little Prince." Jian Yue replied.

Gao Fei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter while Jian Yue looked at him speechlessly.

Jian Yue: “…”

finally.

When Jian Yue was about to finish washing his feet, Gao Fei stopped laughing. He put down his foot basin, sat next to Jian Yue and said, "You have a good name. You are born with a rich and noble destiny. You may achieve great things in the future. To be honest, buddy, you are really brave today. You dared to talk to the emperor, and you even stopped Eunuch Liu from beating someone to death. I admire you!"

Jian Yue said: "It's just my good luck."

Gao Fei was a little worried: "But you do have to be careful. I don't think Eunuch Liu is an easy person to get along with. Nanny Jiang also noticed you today."

The thin little man sitting on the bed opposite Gao Fei said, "You are still worried about him. He is going to work for Eunuch Liu. He may have a better future than us."

This statement is somewhat sarcastic.

Gao Fei was in a bad mood and frowned, "Just understand, if it weren't for him, none of us would be able to complete the golden melon seed mission!"

The little guy was caught off guard by the retort and pouted, "I didn't say anything else."

Jian Yue understood that even if everyone was a newcomer, they were not necessarily of one mind. Perhaps not every tasker in this world would be his friend.

Gao Fei said to Jian Yue: "Don't take it to heart. We all know that you are doing this for everyone."

Jian Yue said, "Helping you is also helping myself. When Eunuch Liu wakes up tomorrow, there's no guarantee that he won't start trouble with the golden melon seeds again. I'm afraid this matter isn't over yet."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone realized it.

Although they survived this disaster, it was just the beginning. They encountered many difficulties on their first night in this copy and were on the verge of death several times in just one night.

The skinny little guy wanted to cry again: "What kind of world is this? Why is it so hard to survive? We are considered newcomers, right? Why is it so difficult right from the start? Do you want to drive me to death? I haven't even got married yet!"

Everyone else also wanted to cry.

The audience in the live broadcast room wanted to laugh when they saw their expressions:

“Those who can come to this mode should be big guys, right?”

"Why do I want to laugh so much when I see the expressions of these big guys?"

"I heard that several presidents of major guilds are in it this time."

"Isn't this going to become a dark history?"

"Not so funny I say."

"Boss, you're going to be talked about for the rest of your life when you enter a dungeon this time."

Gao Fei was relatively calm. He and Jian Yue were the only two people in the room who didn't cry. He gritted his teeth and said, "We'll just take it one step at a time. There's no point in being afraid. Let's unite and face the difficulties together!"

Everyone nodded.

Gao Fei looked at Jian Yue who was washing her feet next to him with some doubt and said, "Aren't you afraid?"

Jian Yue said, "I was just thinking that if this sachet is of no use tonight, when Eunuch Liu asks me for money, can I give it to him as payment? I can say that this is the blessing sachet I asked for for him and see if it can pay for the gold melon seeds. If not, I can sell it to other eunuchs at a high price of two gold melon seeds and say that two sachets are more effective."

Everyone: “…”

Depend on!

You must be a business genius!

You really want to improve your ability to lie with your eyes open! !

Gao Fei was a little impressed by Jian Yue. He gave him a thumbs up and said, "Great, really great."

What had been a very serious matter, as if the sky was about to fall, was not so serious after Jian Yue's explanation. Although Gao Fei was the backbone of the group on the surface, Jian Yue could calm everyone's nervous emotions instantly with just a few words.

He had a wonderful sense of relaxation.

This sense of relaxation is a good remedy for many people's mental breakdown in horror dungeons.

Even the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned by this logic:

"Is this kid obsessed with money?"

"Hahaha, such a love of money."

"I think there's only one anchor who can compete with him."

"Hahahaha, I think the two of us above are thinking of the same anchor!"

"Go to sleep." Gao Cheng looked out the window and said, "There will definitely be more things waiting for us tomorrow."

Others thought so too.

After everyone took turns washing up, it was already very late and the lights in each room had been turned off. Jian Yue's bed was the innermost bed against the wall. While sleeping, he looked up at the painting hanging in the middle of the main room.

This is a splash-ink landscape painting with thick traces of ink. Only a long, twisted path can be seen with a blood-red sun above it and the palace wall below. The entire palace wall is connected directly by this small path, giving a strange and cold feeling.

"I find this painting a bit scary," someone said.

Gao Fei said, "It's best not to move this painting easily. We just arrived here and we are unfamiliar with the place. If someone finds out that we moved the painting, we don't know if they will kill us. It would be a waste of time."

Naturally, the others didn't dare to move.

Gao Fei blew out the light and lay back on the bed.

Jian Yue was sleeping inside, leaning against the wall. No one knew why. It might be because he was in a new environment. Everyone thought he would not be able to sleep. However, they did not expect or know why, but when the night watchman's call rang not far away, they all fell asleep instantly.

Jian Yue, who was lying on the bed, didn't have any.

Almost everyone carried the blessing sachet, only Jian Yue put the sachet somewhere else.

There was a pungent smell of Chinese herbal medicine in the sachet, which made him feel uncomfortable. Everyone else fell asleep quickly, but Jian Yue was the only one in the room who couldn't sleep.

The house was very quiet.

After a while, the sound of some people snoring softly could be heard.

Jian Yue leaned against the wall and thought about what happened during the day. He planned to sort out all the clues from the night to see if he could find some clues.

The night was growing darker.

A slight sleepiness slowly came over his eyelids, and Jian Yue leaned against the pillow, drowsy, and just as he was about to fall asleep.

His consciousness seemed to be suddenly pulled away.

When he opened his eyes again, he was standing on a small path. The path was pitch black and gloomy. He looked up and saw the tall walls of the imperial city. It was pitch black all around and he could only walk forward along the path. The entrance of the wall in front of him was so dark that it seemed like a bloody mouth waiting for him.

There were some singing voices in the distance.

The singing had no specific direction, as if it was born to permeate the air.

The singing seemed to be guiding people, and they unconsciously walked forward to find out what was going on. In front of them, Jian Yue saw a person who seemed to be dancing. The singing seemed to become clearer and clearer: "Heaven sends down evil, all evil retreats, bless my great piety..."

Jian Yue watched the man dancing. The man was holding a strange prop in his hand. It was white and looked like a bell, but it made a sound that no one had ever heard before.

It sounded like the friction between some dull stones, rustling, but sometimes it sounded like a bell.

The black shadow was wearing white clothes, and his voice on the path was like a ghost. He kept jumping and getting closer as he jumped. Jian Yue, who was standing on the road, looked at him as if he was watching a silent movie.

I don't know why.

He was fixed in place, unable to move.

Under the tall city walls, there are dark paths, ghostly white shadows dancing, incomprehensible musical instruments and strange prayers.

The figure was getting closer.

Jian Yue watched the figure getting closer and closer to him, and was accompanied by a bone-chilling chill. He was unable to move and could only hear the sound of the instrument in the man's hand getting closer. He had a mask on his face, revealing only his hole-like black eyes, and he kept muttering something.

"Come together." The man came closer to Jian Yue and stretched out his hand, saying temptingly: "Pray for our Daqian. Come together, I will take you to a better place..."

On this eerie path, these tempting lines bewitched people's minds and made them seem irresistible.

Even Jian Yue himself seemed to have an inexplicable urge in his heart under the sound of the instrument. He wanted to agree and go over!

But in such temptation.

Jian Yue slowly shook his head and said, "I'm not going."

The man's voice fell with a threat: "Why don't you speak? Why don't you dance the prayer ceremony with me? Don't you want to pray for Daqian?"

It seemed that if Jian Yue didn't leave or agree, the man in white would tear off his mask and open his bloody mouth to bite off his head in the next second.

Amid the constant questioning of the man in white and his increasingly violent and cruel tone.

Jian Yue took a deep breath and said, "Because my limbs are not coordinated and I can't dance, I always fell down when I was doing exercises when I was a kid. The only thing I know is the radio gymnastics at school. If you insist on me dancing, it's fine. How about I show you the third set of radio gymnastics, Dancing Youth?"
