Chapter 80
There were huge crowds of people at the foot of Bliss Peak.
The sect mission will be launched at 3:00 p.m. Players can start the mission through the mission guide at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, the area around the mission guides of various sects was crowded with people, and the players who came early were very enthusiastic and discussed non-stop.
"What are the mysterious rewards? I really want to know! 'Yi Meng', you know how to keep people in suspense."
"Let's take a gamble. The rewards include pets, costumes, and maybe even a mount."
"That's a nice thought. Why didn't you mention that the reward includes a partner?"
"Because I already have a partner, what about you, my friend?"
"...Friend, are you going to kill me?"
…
Shen Fengni and the others stood in a corner not far away, waiting quietly.
After learning that the company had arranged for the four of them to form a team to live stream the game, Sheng Xinyan and Xu Weiyi were first in disbelief, and then became very excited.
Especially Xu Weiyi, since the matter was settled, he has spent almost all his free time playing games, wanting to familiarize himself with the game operations as soon as possible and perform well in the live broadcast.
Chen Fengni sometimes felt that Xu Weiyi was like a tenacious weed. Despite the harsh living environment, he never flinched. Once given the opportunity to change, he would desperately seize it.
She glanced at Xu Weiyi, who was dressed in black, and felt a little emotional.
Xu Weiwei's chosen sect was Lone Shadow Tower, an assassin-styled unit similar to the Bliss Palace, with a ranged character that was both fragile and powerful. The difference was that Lone Shadow Tower's attack mode was physical, while the Bliss Palace's was magical.
Sheng Xinyan chose the Demon Slayer Hall, depicting a heroic warrior, clad in soft armor and carrying a sword and shield. This overall style perfectly complements her outspoken and lively personality.
"Yi Meng" arranged for a group of non-game streamers to log in to the game and livestream the newly released sect quests. To more comprehensively showcase the sect quests and increase the livestream's appeal, each team decided which sect quest to participate in by drawing lots.
Chen Fengni participated in the lottery as a representative, and coincidentally drew his own sect, the Paradise Palace.
"The slogan of Paradise Palace is 'Free and Fearless'. Its main theme is to emphasize that life is short, so enjoy life while you can, please yourself, and not worry about the lives of others."
Xu Weiyi flipped through a booklet in his hand and analyzed it convincingly, "So I think the sect missions should be quite exciting... Mr. Jiang, did you hear anything in advance?"
The official announcement said that sect missions are usually related to the sect's historical background and sect settings, so she made up for the relevant content of each sect in advance and took some notes.
The white-clad heroine carrying the zither turned around upon hearing this and said, "No."
Xu Weiyi didn't believe it. "Really? There's really nothing? You just said you really like the Paradise Palace sect. Aren't you curious?"
It is said that people who hold the same secret will quickly become closer. Ever since she helped Jiang Zhuoyan and Shen Fengni carry out various secret operations, they quickly became familiar with each other and spoke more casually.
Jiang Zhuoyan was silent for a moment. "If we knew it in advance, we would lose the fun of exploration."
"That's true." Xu Weiyi agreed and turned to pester Chen Fengni again, "Fengni, what do you think? You are from the Paradise Palace, so you should be able to guess something."
Chen Fengni smiled sincerely, "I think you've summarized it very well. You've grasped the essence of the sect."
Xu Weiyi was overjoyed, "I knew I had a talent for gaming."
"Then what should I do?" Compared to Xu Weiyi's confidence, Sheng Xinyan seemed a little distressed. "I really am an idiot at games. I'm not good at them but I love to play... I will definitely hold everyone back."
She had dabbled in several holographic games, but she was too lazy to delve into them, preferring to just wander around and watch the fun unfold. She only had a superficial understanding of each one, lacking mastery, and often drew complaints from her teammates. Even her closest friends refused to help her rank up, claiming she simply couldn't carry them.
Chen Fengni comforted her, "What do you mean by dragging your feet? That's called the show effect."
They weren't professional game streamers, so if you were here to see their high-level gameplay, you wouldn't choose to watch their live streams. Those who came to watch these amateur players play games were probably just there for fun.
Time quickly jumped to three o'clock, and the four people started the mission at the guide's place and were teleported into the copy at the same time.
The setting of the Paradise Palace sect mission is that each team is teleported into an independent copy, and there is no interference between teams.
The top of Paradise Peak is shrouded in clouds and mist.
The bustling crowd around disappeared without a trace, and the view suddenly became empty and wide.
A few meters ahead, there is a magnificent mansion with a plaque at the door with two elegant characters "Paradise" written on it.
Shen Fengni and the others did not rush in, but started their own live broadcasts first.
Because the content of today's live broadcast had been announced in advance, a large number of viewers were waiting in line, not only the original fans, but also a considerable number of game players who came to watch the fun.
As soon as the live broadcast started, the audience rushed into the live broadcast room.
Jiang Zhuoyan was live streaming in the official live broadcast room of "Jiang Hu Nuo", and the number of viewers immediately exceeded 10,000. The number of viewers in Chen Fengni and Sheng Xinyan's live broadcast rooms also quickly rose to four figures.
This was Xu Weiyi’s first time doing a live broadcast, but because the four live broadcast rooms had links to each other, users could directly click to jump to other live broadcast rooms, so many fans came in through the live broadcast rooms of the other three people, about three or four hundred people.
A few people greeted the audience to warm up the atmosphere, and the barrage of comments was also very lively.
[What a fantastic lineup! I love it so much.]
【Wife, wife, my heartfelt words, wife!!】
[Ahhhh, Miss Jiang!! Sister, I’m coming, sister, please open the door!!]
[Sister, please be more reserved. The lady is standing right next to you.]
[What Madam? That's my beautiful wife Feng Ni. It's more important for the three of us to live a good life.]
[Wait a minute, the one who folds the branches is Xiao Jiangzong, the one who folds the flowers is Feng Ni, and the remaining two people... who are who? ]
In the four live broadcast rooms, the four people on the screen stood very close to each other, and it was a little difficult to tell which one was the host in the current live broadcast room.
[Are you stupid? Just looking at the names... you really can't tell them apart.]
The majestic female warrior has the name "the ancient Greek god in charge of male models" on her head, while the cold and mysterious female assassin is named "Do you still want this bottle?", which makes everyone confused for a while.
[I know this question! The one in charge of the male models should be Xinyan's wife. Didn't she always say she would devote her whole life to male models?]
[Yes, yes, yes, Xinyan's wife also said she wanted to open a male model club! ]
Sheng Xinyan looked at the comments and smiled, "My wives still understand me."
[That makes sense. Then the other one must be Xu Weiyi... Then again, who is Xu Weiyi?]
Xu Weiyi's account was registered not long ago. Compared with other anchors, his homepage is empty, without any honorary logos. There is only one video of him greeting fans, and the number of likes is only in the double digits.
[It seems that this is a newly signed anchor of "Yimeng", and she doesn't have many fans yet. ]
Those who can sign "Yimeng" are all tough guys, probably high-level gamers hired by the company. After all, the other three are not professional game streamers, so they need someone with good operation skills to lead the team.
[Xiao Jiang always needs someone to lead him? I'm afraid you haven't heard of the name of the female hero who breaks branches, right?]
[With so many big names leading the livestream for the first time, I don't believe Xu Weiyi has no background.]
[I also think that this is probably some rich girl out experiencing life.]
Xu Weiyi: ...
She never dreamed that one day she would be addressed as "Miss".
And isn't her name obvious? How can she sound like a young lady?
Just as Xu Weiyi was hesitating whether to explain it to the audience, a system prompt suddenly appeared on the game panel:
[I have accepted the Paradise Palace sect quest [My Wife is Sick].]
[The wife of the Palace Master of Paradise, Liu Ruoxing, has been feeling unwell recently and has contracted a strange illness. Even the most renowned doctors in the world have been unable to cure her.]
[Palace Master Si Li loves his wife dearly and has issued a reward: whoever can heal his wife will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.]
[The generous rewards have attracted countless people from the underworld to come here, but no one has succeeded yet.]
[Today, you, as a new batch of experimenters, have arrived at the Paradise Palace.]
[Clearance condition: Cure Liu Ruoxing's illness.]
Shen Fengni read the task instructions carefully and pondered in his mind.
The description of the task is not complicated, but I always feel that the lady’s illness seems not that simple. There is a mystery hidden in it, otherwise it would not be so difficult to cure.
The gate of the house in front was pushed open, and a slender figure walked out.
The person who came was a pretty little girl, wearing the sect's iconic red dress. She looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
She walked up to the crowd and asked, "Heroes, are you here to help treat the disease as well?"
Shen Fengni nodded, "Yes, may I ask who the lady is?"
"My name is Amber, and I'm a maid in the Palace Master's room." Amber replied, "Come with me, the Palace Master is waiting for you."
She turned and walked back into the house, motioning everyone to follow her.
The courtyard is elegant and lushly green. The flowers in front of it are in full bloom, their delicate petals swaying gently in the breeze. Rockeries are scattered, dappled with light and shadow, and flowing water swirls around, gurgling past. It's like stepping into the waterside villages of the south of the Yangtze River, a scene of peaceful times.
Sheng Xinyan couldn't help but sigh, "This place is so beautiful."
Although she has experienced the immersiveness of Jianghu Nuo in the past few days, this game always refreshes her understanding of holographic games.
It always makes her sigh like "can it be like this", "this is also OK", "is this still a game?" and so on.
"Of course, this place was designed by the Palace Master himself, and he put a lot of thought into it."
Amber shook her head proudly, and the two cute buns on her head bounced twice. "The Palace Master likes quietness and usually doesn't let outsiders in. This time, she relaxed to treat the lady. You are very lucky."
The NPCs in Jianghu Nuo are all advanced AI, with pre-set backgrounds and personalities, and they'll speak lines based on their settings. In most cases, conversations with NPCs are almost indistinguishable from real people.
When doing tasks, you can chat more with key NPCs and get some useful clues.
"So that's how it is. We're lucky to have the Madam." Shen Fengni nodded and took over the topic naturally. "But first, I want to ask, what disease does the Madam have? What are the symptoms?"
"I can tell you now, but you have to keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone about it after you get out."
Amber said seriously. Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, she lowered her voice, "Madam, she has lost her memory."
