"Trick or treat!"

When Fang Zheng opened the door, the first thing he saw was a few little guys in all kinds of strange costumes holding baskets, standing outside the door with their hands stretched out to him. Seeing this, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, then grabbed a handful of snacks from the prop bar and put them in the basket to conduct a transaction.

"Okay, this should be enough."

"That's enough. Thank you, Brother Fang Zheng!"

Looking at the candies in the basket, the girl with twin ponytails and a witch hat nodded and bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng. Then she turned around and left with the other children. Fang Zheng stretched and looked around.

It was already dusk, and unlike other places, the Darkmoon Sword's guild headquarters was decorated with lights and carved pumpkin lanterns and various decorations everywhere, making it look like a festival.

In fact, this is indeed a festival.

November 11th, Halloween.

This was the first festival that Fang Zheng and his companions celebrated after entering the game world. Of course, there was no such festival in the game itself, but after Erili mentioned the Test of Courage, Fang Zheng immediately remembered it and put Halloween on the agenda.

After all, in this world, people also need to relax, and spending Halloween to rest and relax is also a good choice.

"Mr. Fang Zheng!"

At this moment, Ying Lili ran to the corridor excitedly. After seeing Fang Zheng, she immediately waved to him.

"You finally came out, hurry up, your clothes are ready."

"I need to change clothes too?"

Fang Zheng was stunned when he heard what Eriri said. Of course he knew what Eriri was talking about. After deciding to celebrate Halloween, Fang Zheng asked Eriri and Aoba to organize a Halloween preparatory committee with those production-based players to be responsible for the planning of related activities. According to the upcoming schedule, there will be a costume parade after sunset, a series of performances, and finally a test of courage.

Fang Zheng also learned from Eriri that he, Esther and Restia would serve as judges to select the most outstanding performer in the costume parade.

But... Fang Zheng hadn't heard that he also had to change his clothes. He had originally planned to just wear the guild uniform.

"Of course, everyone will change, so you, Mr. Fang Zheng, will have to change too."

Looking closely, Eriri had also changed her clothes. She was wearing a black dress with a pair of bat-like wings on the back and two small fangs on her mouth - well, she was definitely a vampire.

"Come on, Mr. Fang Zheng, put on this set of clothes."

"What's this?"

Taking the clothes from Ying Lili, Fang Zheng was surprised to find that it was more like a set of armor than clothes...

"Headless Horseman!"

...I have no grudge against you...

Looking at the smiling Eriri, Fang Zheng finally said nothing. He certainly understood why Eriri would torture him. Although strictly speaking, Fang Zheng had a good relationship with these girls, he forced them to train hard every day, and the girls were somewhat dissatisfied with this. It was reasonable for them to vent a little during the festival.

So Fang Zheng didn't say much, and quickly opened the inventory, then put on the headless knight's armor - from the outside, this armor is similar to ordinary armor, except that the upper body is slightly longer, just covering Fang Zheng's head, and the helmet is held in his hand... Well, anyway, this is the effect he wants.

When Fang Zheng arrived at the podium, Esther and Restia were already waiting there. Like Fang Zheng, they also changed into very fresh outfits. Esther wore a very heavy Japanese kimono, and it was hard to tell whether she was playing a geisha or a princess, while Restia was wrapped in a dark cloak and holding a crystal ball in her hand, looking like a gypsy witch who was telling fortunes.

"Master, you look so funny."

Seeing Fang Zheng approaching, Restia smiled and said hello to him. Fang Zheng also raised the helmet in his hand and waved it up and down at her.

“Your outfits are beautiful too.”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng sat between the two of them and looked outside through the gap in his armor. He could see that the entire manor was decorated with lights and it was a bustling scene.

"Halloween... I wonder if Tiandao Palace will celebrate it?"

"Let's see after we get back. If the time comes, we can prepare a big one in Tiandao Palace as well."

As they were talking, accompanied by cheerful music, the parade float team emerged from the warehouse on the other side and walked towards the audience and the rostrum. In order to enjoy this celebration, almost everyone in the Dark Moon Sword Guild participated in it. Just as Fang Zheng thought, experiencing the same life every day, not knowing when they can leave the game, many players have become a little nervous. At this time, a grand festival celebration can obviously let them relax, put aside those troubles and unhappiness, and enjoy it to their heart's content.

Unlike in reality, in the game players can create whatever they want as long as they have enough skills. Therefore, the float team looks quite luxurious and beautiful. Leading the team is a giant wooden dragon that can move its head from side to side.

On the dragon, players who could play musical instruments, led by Yuna, formed a band and sang, ran and jumped.

Following behind the "dragon car" are players in various costumes. They dress up as witches, werewolves, mummies... In short, there are all kinds of costumes.

What Fang Zheng found interesting was that Sophie, who always claimed that she was an "ordinary vampire", dressed up as a witch, and the black cat who was inseparable from the scythe dressed up as the god of death. Gabriel's outfit was relatively normal - she wore a thin white dress, held a large wooden horn in her hand, attached a pair of small white wings behind her, and then used wire to erect a halo behind her head.

However, the person who surprised Fang Zheng the most was Qingye.

In his impression, Aoba has always been a very well-behaved child, but he didn't expect that her dress was super bold - Aoba wore a translucent pajama-like outfit with a pair of small wings behind her, and a succubus-like tail. There were two devil-like horns on both sides of the twin ponytails on her head.

It looks like a little devil.

But then again…

"Where's Asuna?"

Fang Zheng looked around curiously, but found that there was no sign of Asuna at all, which made him curious. Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Restia smiled gently.

"Asuna-san, over there..."

"Hmm? That's..."

Looking in the direction of Restia's finger, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then almost laughed out loud. At the back of the parade, Mimi, Nanami, Lingyin, and Yuki were dressed as cats, carrying their spoils and marching forward. On the tree trunk they were carrying, Asuna, who was dressed as a mermaid, was tied to it, looking like she had lost all hope in life...

What else can Fang Zheng say about this?

I can only silently give a thumbs up.
