Chapter 571 [(*^▽^*)]
Honestly, when Lin Leyou saw Hang Qing, the first thing that came to mind was Xue Rui's team members. He wondered when Xue Rui would take his team to run a dungeon together.
Hang Qing watched them walk away and said, "Sure enough, all the good men are taken by other good men. Women like us can't even find good men. What a waste! What do you think, Si Meng?"
Si Meng said, "Tongtong... don't talk nonsense. Finding a good man is easy. When we get back, I'll take you to find one. I guarantee they'll all be top-notch men."
Su Tong sighed, "If only it were that simple... Forget it, I don't have that idea for now. People like us definitely need to find someone of the same status as us, otherwise..."
"Who says otherwise? Alright, enough of this nonsense. What are your thoughts on this mission? You haven't given us a single hint..."
"There are still hints. The main quest is... to uncover the hidden truth of the resort."
"What truth could there be in this resort?"
Hang Qing said, "What else could it be? Since it's a hidden truth, it must have happened before. In other words, it probably has nothing to do with the NPCs who came here for tourism this time. We need to start the investigation from the owner of this resort and the staff here."
“That makes sense, but let’s eat first. Besides… it looked like someone was looking this way. In the future, it’s better to talk about this in a quiet corner.”
"Let's eat then. The higher the difficulty level of the dungeon, the more intelligent the NPCs become. We won't be able to talk about quests as easily anymore."
The waiters quickly served all the food ordered by the restaurant guests, and one after another, the guests left after finishing their meals. Some paid with their mobile phones, while others paid with cash.
Many players focused on observing those who paid in cash. Once they were spotted, the two sides communicated silently with their eyes. However, since the players didn't know each other, no one took the initiative to approach them, and everyone left peacefully.
It seems that in the early stages, these players will have to investigate on their own.
Lin Leyou and his group had already arrived near the garden along the path. The garden was open to the public and did not require an entrance fee. Of course, whether or not there was an entrance fee was marked on the map, and tourists could choose for themselves.
Lin Leyou looked at the garden from afar, "This garden... is more than just a garden."
The entire garden actually covered several small slopes, planted with colorful flowers. Although they weren't rare or expensive, they were really beautiful.
This was Xue Rui's first time in such a place, or rather, none of the previous dungeons had ever been as beautiful as this one. "It smells so good..."
With more flowers, of course it smells very good.
Lin Leyou shook the hand she was holding. "Let's go inside and take a look. Have you ever been to a place like this before?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "No, I... am quite busy."
Lin Leyou knew he wouldn't have time to go to a place like this. "That's true, let's go see how many kinds of flowers we can recognize..."
The two of them completely ignored the dungeon's quest, but the players were still very anxious.
Hang Qing patted his stomach, realizing he had eaten a bit too much. "This isn't a supernatural instance, so the food won't be a problem."
Su Tong: "But you can't eat this much, can you?"
Hang Qing didn't care at all, "It's fine, anyway... I won't gain weight no matter how much I eat here, are you guys going to miss this opportunity?"
Si Meng said, "If you have enough courage, you can have such an opportunity every day."
Hang Qing said, "Although I can enter the dungeon once a day, I don't have the courage to do so. Three or four times a month is already my limit."
Si Meng said, "That makes sense... If we fail, the points deducted are no joke."
The male player who had been following behind the three female players, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said, "Should we search the mountain first, or go somewhere else? Or... split up to look for clues?"
Hang Qing glanced back at him. "Split up won't work. This instance is level A in difficulty, and splitting up carries a lot of risk."
Dong Nianwen: "Okay, which way should we go first?"
Hang Qing looked at the others and asked, "What do you guys think?"
Si Meng said, "I don't think searching the mountains or other places would be very useful. Doesn't this resort have a lot of villagers? We can go to the village and see if we can ask them for some information."
Su Tong nodded, "I agree. If we just search around here on our own, we probably won't find anything."
Dong Nianwen: "Going to a restaurant?"
Hang Qing said, "The restaurant's staff are most likely hired from the village, so you can probably ask them for information, but... they all seem to be busy right now, and... you probably won't get much information from the staff."
Dong Nianwen, “…”
Si Meng said, "You're right. After all, the truth that we players need to investigate is definitely not a good thing. As employees of the resort, how could we possibly tell tourists something bad?"
At this point, Su Tong hesitated and said, "The resort will bring a lot of income to the nearby villages. Won't the villagers say that it will affect their business?"
Dong Nianwen: "Let's go take a look."
Hang Qingdu agreed with this point, "Let's go and take a look... We still need to ask to find out."
Then everyone set off for the small village near the resort. Halfway there, they unexpectedly ran into the strange gay couple they had seen in the restaurant.
Yu Peng stood in the middle of the road, throwing a tantrum with a very sour face, while Wang Yi stood behind him, not saying a word, just quietly keeping him company.
The road leading from the resort to the small village is quite narrow, and these two people are standing right in the middle of the road, blocking Hang Qing and the others' way. What should they do?
It was obvious that Hang Qing and his three companions were there; anyone who wasn't blind could see them. But Yu Peng and Wang Yi acted as if they were blind, showing no reaction whatsoever, let alone making way for them.
It must be said that some bizarre NPCs are unbearable for players.
Hang Qing was dressed provocatively, and her temper was even more fiery. She walked straight up to them and said, "You two, move aside."
Wang Yi glanced at her, and his eyes lit up for a moment, though he quickly returned to normal, so no one noticed.
But unfortunately... Yu Peng, who had just turned around to look at them, spotted them.
Yu Peng's already unpleasant expression darkened even further. Instead of targeting Wang Yi, he exploded, pointing at Hang Qing's nose and cursing, "You little slut, dressing up so seductively to seduce my boyfriend, you're really something! But let me tell you, you've got the wrong person. My boyfriend only likes me!"
Hang Qing was a little confused by his words, but she was not the type to be bullied. "Heh! I didn't expect... that someone could like a powder keg like you."
"Look at your boyfriend, he's such a loser! I'm such a beautiful woman, how could I possibly be interested in him! Have some self-awareness, okay? It's been so long since you've looked in the mirror! You don't even know what you look like anymore!"
Yu Peng had probably never been spoken to like that before. He looked at Hang Qing in shock, "How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?!"
Hang Qing sneered, "Who are you? Tell me who you are! We're all tourists here, who's more noble than whom? Are you the only one who's noble? If you're so powerful, why did you come alone? Didn't you bring a few bodyguards and nannies?"
After being lectured like that, Yu Peng's expression turned ferocious, and his eyes twisted. "Fine... you've got guts, you're really something... I've never seen a woman like you before. You just wait and see!"
Hang Qing scoffed, "Fine, wait and see. You think you can kill me? If you really dare to make a move, I'll admire you."
Unexpectedly, Yu Peng didn't say anything more, but turned around and left, heading in the direction of the restaurant. Wang Yi quickly followed behind him.
As he walked past Hangqing, he whispered, "Be careful tonight..."
Hang Qing looked at him, but Wang Yi didn't react at all, as if he wasn't the one who had just spoken. He obediently followed behind Yu Peng, more like a follower than a boyfriend.
But Yu Peng's abnormal possessiveness towards Wang Yi is also real, which is truly contradictory.
Hang Qing and his group headed into the village, while the other players did their own thing. Some wandered around the mountains where the cabins were located, while others, like Lin Leyou and his group, went to various tourist spots marked by the resort and even chatted with a few passersby, but they didn't find anything of interest.
At noon, everyone gathered in the restaurant for lunch, and after lunch they went out again. Lin Leyou and his group deliberately arrived a little late, and when they arrived, there were indeed very few people in the restaurant.
But the people Lin Leyou and the others didn't want to see were still inside—that bizarre gay couple.
When the two of them came in, Yu Peng turned his head and glanced at them. He probably recognized them as the people who had taken the food Wang Yi had ordered at breakfast, and rolled his eyes at them.
He said to Wang Yi in a loud voice, "I'm late this time. I don't know if I'll try to steal other people's things. I think I probably will, since... I look very skilled at it."
In Yu Peng's opinion, Lin Leyou and his friend took his vegetables in the morning and ate them as if it were perfectly normal, without any embarrassment. They were just shameless.
But he seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who was grabbing the vegetables in the morning.
Lin Leyou and his group heard these words, but they naturally walked to the spot where they had breakfast in the morning and said, "Waiter."
Soon a waiter walked over and started talking to himself, to see if anyone would pay attention to him.
Yu Peng probably realized he was putting on a one-man show, and his expression darkened even more. He glared fiercely at Wang Yi across from him, but Wang Yi didn't react at all, seemingly oblivious, and was obediently serving Yu Peng food.
Seeing this scene, Yu Peng's emotions, which were about to explode, calmed down a little. "You're still the best to me."
