Chapter 44 Wedding Banquet + Return to City

At this critical moment, the ten players sitting at the opposite table naturally heard Luo Qing's words.

Wait, a bouquet!

Could it be that this bone-colored head in front of me really serves as a bouquet at the wedding?

Doesn't that mean they have to catch it?

If they don't catch this special "bouquet", the protagonist of the wedding will definitely be unhappy. The new copy prompts specifically mention that they must "give blessings from the heart" and "respect other guests."

At this moment, the quick-moving players had already stood up quickly. Yue Ye and Xiang Tiange reached out at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, and together they caught this special "bone-colored head". Cui Xiangwan reached out a step slower than them, and held his hands in a heart shape.

When he saw the two people catch the "flying arrow", Cui Xiangwan felt relieved.

Catch it, I caught it. It shouldn’t trigger any dungeon penalty, right?

Turning around to look at him, Luo Qing was even more shocked. "Two people actually caught it. That's amazing."

"Oh, thank you, thank you both."

"I'm so sorry, I was a little too excited just now."

At this moment, the bone-colored head that was caught was thanking them with a grateful look on its face.

The players' faces were almost stiffly maintaining smiles, smiles, smiles, respect, respect.

"Do you need us to take you home?" Cui Xiangwan tried his best to control his facial muscles.

"Oh no, no, just put it on the table. I can also watch the show."

Put it on the table... Just like that, Yue Ye and Xiang Tiange exchanged a look, and the ten people quickly moved and squeezed together, and managed to make an empty seat on the table for this bony head, and kindly turned his face towards the stage.

However, if this happens, no matter how delicious the food on the table is, no one will dare to pick up their chopsticks.

With such a great player sitting at the table, the ten players felt like every second was a year.

At this moment, the emcee on the stage has finished singing the song "Happiness Clapping Song"

The unusual movement on the stage just now naturally did not escape the attention of the host Xu Xu, but she was too busy performing to pay attention.

At this moment, she held the microphone, still full of passion: "The clapping song just now really felt everyone's enthusiasm, especially the elders of our village. One of them was so excited that he sat down with our guests."

"According to the couple's request, many formalities have been cut out of this wedding. Today is a great day, and on this auspicious occasion, relatives and friends have gathered together. Ms. Qin Yinuo and Mr. Cen Jin have specially prepared small gifts for the guests present. They are the mainstay products of Yuntao Village, specially tailored for each guest."

"This small gift is not enough to express my sincere gratitude. On behalf of the newlyweds, I would like to express my gratitude to all the friends and family who have traveled thousands of miles to visit us during the holidays."

"Okay, everyone, enjoy your meal and drinks. Our staff will distribute souvenirs to each table later."

After the host Xu Xu said these words, she walked off the stage with her high heels clacking. Then she ran up again and started moving the eight remaining coffin boards on the stage.

The guests at other tables had already started eating, but the players didn't dare to move. They were still paying attention to the host's movements.

Not to mention what the souvenir is, why are they starting to take apart the coffin lid now?

"It's a great day, the bride and groom have gone to change their clothes. It's not easy for the elders to see the light, so as the elders of this village, please come and accompany the guests."

The players' hearts were in their throats. What the hell? One head in the coffin wasn't enough, and now the other eight were coming out too?

The ten players breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing the remaining eight bone-colored heads placed on other guest tables.

Just one, one is enough. They really can’t afford more.

And seeing that the natives in the copy were treated the same as them, it suddenly didn't seem so scary.

"Eat, eat, why aren't you eating? Let me tell you, this banquet food is delicious!"

The bone-colored head on the table began to speak, its empty eye sockets seeming to scan every player.

The two people closest to "it" were Xiang Tiange and Yue Ye, so they had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks.

"These Four Joy Meatballs were my favorite in the past. It was hard to share them at banquets with so many people, so it was best to use serving chopsticks. The best Four Joy Meatballs were when I was a kid..."

The bony heads at the players' table began to chatter incessantly. With such a "big boss" staring at them, the players didn't dare not eat, but most of them started with the vegetarian dishes.

The bony head obviously noticed their actions: "What's wrong with you young people? You don't eat meat at such a young age, only vegetables? Can you gain weight by eating only vegetables? You learn about weight loss every day, and you are all so skinny, you don't want to lose weight!"

As it chattered so incessantly, the players felt that the head that popped out of the coffin was not so scary anymore, as if it were really a nagging elder from the neighborhood.

Just subconsciously ignore this slightly empty head and why this thing is on the table, don't look at it, and just eat.

"This dish tastes really good, not like an ordinary banquet dish." Cui Xiangwan was very surprised as he ate a small piece of four-happiness meatballs.

These four-happiness meatballs look very shiny, but they taste very fresh and fragrant, not greasy, and are especially delicious when dipped in the sauce on the plate.

"Indeed, the other dishes are good too." Xia Tian said.

They even found dishes that had been delivered to the villa last night. Perhaps they were trying out the food last night to adjust the flavors? The players' five senses were sharp, not just hearing, smell, and sight. They could also taste the flavors in their mouths, and they could tell this wasn't a leftover dish.

Nowadays, most weddings are held in hotels, and most of the meals in hotels are pre-prepared, focusing on auspiciousness, plating and face, and the taste may not be delicious. This kind of big banquet in the yard has not been eaten for a long time for the players, which gave some people the illusion of childhood memories.

Of course, as soon as he saw the bone-colored head on the table, he immediately woke up and realized that he was in a copy.

The players were eating, but in moderation, observing their surroundings while eating, fearing that after they took a bite of food, the guests and natives at other tables would suddenly disappear.

They started watching the wedding at six o'clock in the afternoon. After the lively wedding ceremony and the passionate performance by the emcee, it was now completely dark.

It is now seven o'clock in the evening. As we all know, the night in the weird copy is the most dangerous.

"A toast." Mei Ziqing suddenly spoke. He saw Cen Jin and Qin Yinuo changed their clothes, one in a long gown and the other in a cheongsam.

"No, that's not a drink." Li Xiang opened his mouth.

"No, that's a stainless steel coffee cup."

"But it seems that what was poured in was juice." The princess didn't know how to control her expression.

I can only say that this wedding is so unexpected.

It looks like a traditional Chinese wedding on the outside, but the actual process and everything else is a complete hodgepodge.

What flew out at the wedding was not a bouquet, but a head from a coffin.

The toast glass is not a highball glass or a small wine glass, but a coffee cup filled with juice.

I always feel that the style of this copy is very broken.

The bride and groom were offering juice to each table, and the players were always observing their movements. Then, they saw the two newlyweds really coming towards their table!

Alert Alert Advanced Alert!

"Everyone..." The groom Cen Jin opened his mouth, as if trying to find a suitable address, but before he could finish his words, Qin Yinuo took over the conversation.

"Thank you all for your psychological counseling. This has helped my husband resolve his emotional issues. The wedding was a complete success. I will give you a small gift later. I hope you enjoy yourself."

Qin Yinuo smiled like a flower and raised the coffee cup in her hand.

The players looked at each other, but all raised their cups. Well, there was juice on their tables too.

It was the first time I encountered such polite words from the core characters of the copy, and I was really not used to it. From what Qin Yinuo said, it could be confirmed that their accidental "psychological strategy" actually made Cen Jin change his mind!

"You're welcome. You two are a perfect match. Happy wedding."

The players all gave their "sincere" blessings at this moment.

"Third uncle, please help me take good care of them."

"Okay! Don't worry, Yinuo!"

Qin Yinuo gave another instruction to the bone-colored head on the table, then walked to the table opposite where Luo Qing and the others were, and even sat down and started chatting.

It turned out that the bone-colored head on this table was Qin Yinuo's third uncle! At this moment, this bone-colored head was clearly only an eye socket, but looking at the newlyweds sitting at another table, there was a hint of emotion in its voice.

"That's great, that's great."

The players had almost finished eating by now, but the guests at other tables had not left yet, so they didn't dare move for the time being, not to mention that Third Uncle's head was there to "take care" of them.

"Why can't I see the host? Where are they eating?" Cui Xiangwan looked around and spoke.

There are quite a few staff members in the wedding company, so shouldn’t they reserve a table for them?

It was dark in the village, and he wanted to ask the emcee how the ten of them were going to get back to the villa.

"Don't worry, those who won't starve are here to help. There is food available." The head of the third uncle spoke.

"I don't know what the souvenir is." Lanmao has been feeling uneasy ever since he heard the host mention the souvenir and the bride Qin Yinuo mentioned it again.

"Uncle San, do you know what souvenirs the newlyweds prepared for the guests? The host said it is the pillar product of Yuntao Village. Will it be very expensive?" Wang Lele pretended to be curious and spoke.

This village is really wealthy, which can be seen from the small villas provided for them and other guests to live in. The wedding venue is also a self-built small courtyard. It can be said that the village is quite wealthy.

"Gifts, I don't understand anything about you young people. I just came out of the fields yesterday to get some fresh air." Third Uncle shook his head.

"But if we talk about the pillar industry of our Yuntao Village, it has to be pottery sculpture!"

Pottery? Or peach cake?

The ten players were a little confused when they heard this term, but the word "pottery" made them associate it with Yuntao Village. It should be something made of clay, right?

As he was speaking, he heard someone coming in from the second gate of the courtyard and shouting:

"Dear guests, after dinner, don't forget to pick up your souvenirs. They all have your names on them, so don't take the wrong ones. And if you're leaving, don't be in a hurry. We'll give you a small gift."

Each table for the wedding banquet guests in the yard was assigned a name, and the people who distributed the souvenirs seemed to be not the staff of the wedding company, but the indigenous people of the village.

At this moment, a group of people came from table to table carrying several large boxes with labels, and the players were also waiting.

Since it’s a souvenir that all guests get, it shouldn’t be something too bad, right?

"Seats for special guests." A strong villager looked at the label and walked towards their table.

"Cui Xiangwan, Li Xiang... you guys can post it yourselves, the names are all on it."

This is a very large cardboard box, inside which are ten packaged gift boxes with names on them.

There's no need to label every gift with a name, right? Cui Xiangwan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Ten people helped each other and handed out the "souvenirs" with each person's name on them. The third uncle at the table urged them, "Open it, open it, let me see what's inside."

The players looked at the other guests. Some of them had already finished their meal and left with their souvenirs, while the BOSS table next door where Luo Qing was sitting was still chatting animatedly.

The third uncle was "looking forward to it", and the first people he looked at were Xiang Tiange and Yue Ye.

"Then open it and take a look." Xiang Tiange said, and opened the gift box with extremely fast hands.

Xiang Tiange was stunned.

Inside the gift box was a crew cut head that looked exactly like hers, even the expression was lifelike and vivid, but it looked like white pottery, a bit like the pottery figurines seen in museums, but with only one head, especially her own head, which made it even more terrifying.

"Haha, it's indeed a pottery sculpture. It's a custom-made bone pottery sculpture. Wow, Yinuo put a lot of thought into it." Third uncle laughed.

Even if the other players didn't want to face it, they still had to bite the bullet and open the gift boxes. Sure enough, each one was their own customized "ceramic sculpture".

"What does bone pottery sculpture mean?" Yue also keenly grasped the core of his third uncle's words.

"Of course it's a ceramic sculpture with ashes added. It's much more expensive than regular ceramic sculptures!"

"It's very popular among you young people nowadays. One-to-one customized exclusive urn figurines. Although it only has a head now, look, does it look very similar to yourself? It has a 99% similarity, which shows that our village has exquisite craftsmanship! How about ordering the limbs and torso to complete the whole body? I can give you a 20% discount!" The third uncle now seemed to have turned into a salesman for the village, and his words were very fluent.

But at this moment, all the players had only one thought -

Holy shit, what kind of ashes is this thing made of?

Could it be human bones?

Looking at this bone-ceramic sculpture that looks exactly like themselves, the players felt their scalps tingling and were very creepy.

But this thing is a gift for this wedding, and I dare not refuse it.

"Come, feel it and tell you why the bone pottery sculptures in our village are so famous. I tell you, this is a patented technology. The skin burned out feels just like the real thing!" Uncle San kept talking and made new requests to the players.

Yue also took out his "bone ceramic head"

"You have an exclusive binding item available—[Exclusively Customized Yueye Bone Pottery Head]. This item is available for free in the dungeon. Do you want to confirm the binding?"

Yue was stunned. Was this a prop? Or a free prop? Was this some kind of incredible bonus, or a trap?

"Confirm binding." He muttered to himself, and immediately received a copy prompt. Seeing the function of the props reminded above, Yue's pupils shrank.

"Hurry up and pick it up too." He said in a hurried tone, with an indescribable joy in his voice.

As other players picked up their own heads with realistic touch, expressions of astonishment, ecstasy, and efforts to control themselves appeared on their faces.

This dungeon is great, really great! Participating in it also gives you free props, which are extremely useful life-saving props, custom-made for you!

"It's great! This pottery sculpture is really great." Li Xiang was so excited that he almost cried.

If you want to obtain items in the weird copy, you must first survive. You often need to fight with the weirdness to get them. Moreover, there are various types of items. Although there are transactions in the real world and forums, it is too difficult for ordinary players to own an attack or life-saving item that suits their own needs.

Now, an exclusive item, free of charge, that could even protect him from a fatal injury! For the players present, this was like winning the lottery. No, it was even rarer than winning the lottery.

"Did you enjoy your meal? The wedding company's minibus is right at the gate of the yard and will take you back." Qin Yinuo and Cen Jin came to the players' table again.

"Good, good. Very good."

The players all stood up at this moment. It didn’t matter whether it was ashes or not, or what kind of ashes it was, it didn’t matter. The props obtained were the most important.

"Everyone has customized their own souvenirs, which are so precious. Thank you so much." Cui Xiangwan's words came from the heart.

Qin Yinuo was stunned for a moment. "Well, you're welcome. Firstly, our village specializes in this, and the cost is not high. Giving it to guests is also a promotion. Secondly, it's also my fault. I only prepared this bone pottery sculpture for ordinary guests before. It was Qing'er who reminded me, so I rushed to make a batch for you. The originally scheduled event was cancelled, and I can't be without souvenirs."

When she said this, all the players were stunned.

"Ms. Qin, are you talking about Miss Luo Qing?" Cui Xiangwan looked at another table and found that the indigenous bosses at that table had already left.

"Yes, she is a person who, despite her young age, has always been able to pay attention to details and take care of others." Qin Yinuo smiled.

"Third Uncle, shall I take you back?"

Qin Yinuo and Cen Jin took their elders away. The ten players were still a little dizzy until they got on the minibus and returned to the villa. They gathered in the living room, each holding their own souvenir treasures.

"Miss Luo Qing is indeed a friendly Aboriginal. Woo woo woo woo, she even asked the bride to prepare souvenirs for us. This is my sister, this is my mother, my sister and my mother." Li Xiang really cried.

"Do you remember that the poster of the Yinhuai Village post also said that they got the props." Mei Ziqing said.

"Yes, he said that he bought the props with money, but the props were kept secret and not made public. He only said that all players who completed the game bought them." Xia Tian continued.

"Maybe I still have a chance to repay the great favors I owe to the players, but how can I repay the favors I owe to the indigenous people?" The princess murmured.

"Let's rent a house." Cui Xiangwan said.

"I think it might be because we went to consult Sister Luo Qing yesterday that she noticed us and mentioned the souvenirs to the bride, Qin Yinuo."

"Seriously, since other players have already rented rooms there, I want to give it a try."

Cui Xiangwan had thought about it seriously. Before this dungeon, if any player told him about establishing a relationship with an NPC or even renting a house in a strange world, he would scold that person to death.

But now, after experiencing the copy in front of him, changes have occurred again and again in the copy, which makes Cui Xiangwan feel that he can't continue to be passive.

Players are drawn into dungeons, experience dungeons, and complete dungeon tasks passively. However, humans should proactively face change and seize fleeting opportunities!

"Yes." Just as Little Pigtail was about to speak, Cui Xiangwan motioned him to listen to her continue.

"I know what you're worried about. Don't you have the props you just got?" Cui Xiangwan raised her bone pottery gift box.

"This extra life was given for free, so I'm willing to use it to try, even if it's trial and error. Some players have already rented rooms, so why are there no posts on the forum? Maybe they can't go back, maybe they got benefits and don't want to tell others, or maybe there are other reasons. In short, I want to give it a try." He said in a firm tone, his eyes shining.

The other players looked uncertain, each with their own thoughts.

On the second day, after the players had breakfast, they received a notification to leave the dungeon.

Thank you to all the guests for coming from afar to attend this grand wedding.

The shuttle bus will be parked outside the courtyard. Please bring your belongings and board the bus within 30 minutes. Thank you again for coming and wishing you well.

Now that they could leave the dungeon, the players went downstairs one after another. They didn't have any personal belongings with them. Their original wedding dresses had been taken away by the wedding company, and the props had been put into their personal backpacks.

However, no one was in a hurry to get in the car at this moment. Luo Qing and his family's villa was not far from where the players lived, so they accompanied Cui Xiangwan to find Luo Qing first.

At this moment, Luo Qing and her lover were also packing their things and loading them into the car. She was a little surprised to see them, but when she heard Cui Xiangwan say that she wanted to rent a house, she stopped for the time being.

"Um, Mr. Cui, do you mean that you want to go back with us and look at the house directly?" Luo Qing asked.

Cui Xiangwan nodded, feeling nervous.

"Sure. We have to go back to the city anyway. You are going back to Guicheng in the wedding company's car, so we will drive back as well. Are you carsick when riding in the minibus? You can take my car." Luo Qing nodded readily.

Haunted City?!

Is this the real name of the strange world? In other words, if they get on the car and don't leave the instance, they will go to the ghost city!

At this time, Xiang Tiange also stood up: "Ms. Luo Qing, if we also want to look at the house..."

Cui Xiangwan turned around suddenly. What? They're going too?

"Eh? Are you all going to look at houses?" Luo Qing was very surprised.

"That's fine too, but if there are a lot of people, we can just have the wedding company's car take you to the entrance of our community."

"After you've finished looking at the house, whether you want to rent it or take the subway, it's very convenient. But the wedding just ended, you can take a few days off and ask me out again." Luo Qing said.

Half a day later——

In the haunted city and peaceful home, Luo Qing stood proudly at the door of her real estate store, followed by ten beautiful and handsome tenants in reserve.

The sky cleared up, the rain stopped, and Luo Xiaoqing's luck as an agent also improved.

Now I’m leading a house-viewing group!

Luo Qing felt that he was unprecedentedly inflated because he could bring back ten clients from a wedding.

The future real estate tycoon of Ghost City must be her!

She was holding four sets of key plates in her hands, and each small customer had just been given a map of the rental area that Luo Qing had carefully prepared before.

Luo Qing noticed that these ten customers were looking down at the document very seriously, with shocked expressions on their faces, and she was extremely proud.

See, I'm really an uninformed outsider! I was really shocked by the price-performance ratio of this area of ​​houses.

"How is it? Our neighborhood has obvious location advantages! It's in the old city, so it's convenient to get around, and the price/performance ratio is high. You can get whatever you want right downstairs!"

The ten players nodded blankly. There were high-level dungeons everywhere around the hospital, school, supermarket and community. Whatever you wanted was available!

Renting a house here is really like getting on a pirate ship, isn't it?
