The reward was thrown out.
The expressions of the three of them changed instantly.
He Xueyi crushed the small fruit, and the green juice stained his white fingertips. He licked it with his tongue, then looked at Gu Huaiwei with a warm smile.
Lin She has been brooding over the mistakes he made at work in the previous dimension. On his computer, he changed the task of "finding the first guest" into red font, enlarged and bolded it, and then placed it at the top of all work arrangements, determined to succeed.
Bai Meemie suddenly had many ideas of what she wanted Gu Huaiwei to do, most of which were related to the amusement park. If they were not related... she began to imagine the conditions she would propose at that time.
Graymist Town is a huge trial ground consisting of many small dungeons.
Gu Huaiwei is a man of fairness, and when it comes to going out with her assistants to do things, the three of them take turns.
The next day, she took Bai Meemie out and strolled around the Oasis Sanatorium, but found no trace of living people.
At the northernmost end of the town, there is a huge burnt clock tower, next to which is a chemical factory where an explosion occurred decades ago.
Gu Huaiwei printed out many promotional posters for Oasis Sanatorium.
Bai Meemie was holding a bucket of paste in her hand, and Gu Huaiwei was carrying two brushes on her back. They posted small advertisements along the way and covered the old walls with eye-catching posters.
Gu Huaiwei threw the brush into the empty bucket of paste and asked, "Do you smell anyone else?"
"No, the city is empty."
Gu Huaiwei stretched her sore wrists and said, "Strange, why would Paradise open a store in a world like this?"
She took a deep breath. There was no trace of life in the air except for a faint smell of burning.
This really troubled her.
"What about other living things?" Gu Huaiwei asked.
"No." Bai Meemie shook her head.
This city seemed to have been dead for a long time. There were no birds in the sky, and most of the greenery on both sides of the city was withered. Even the ponds were filled with all kinds of industrial waste, with no small fish or shrimps.
Bai Meemie's pupils are rectangular, and she can see the perspective behind her head. She was quite nervous along the way.
Gu Huaiwei didn't give up: "Then when you were with other operators before, have you ever encountered this kind of situation of entering an empty city?"
"This... I'm still inexperienced and haven't encountered this yet."
Bai Meimei lacked confidence. She was not like Lin She or He Xueyi, who had worked with many operators before.
The fact that she could follow Gu Huaiwei was an opportunity created for her by her family after making great sacrifices.
Bai Meemie has a big family with many brothers and sisters.
Vegetarians have low physical fitness and are not valued in paradise, but they also have an advantage, that is, they are large in number, and when united, they are a force that cannot be ignored.
Dad is old, and Bai Meimei is the hope of the family. In order to compete for the opportunity to attend the banquet, she must perform well and not let Gu Huaiwei think she is useless.
"But I discovered something!" Bai Meemie looked up impatiently. "I noticed that when we were posting flyers just now, there were barriers between many buildings."
"Really?" Gu Huaiwei didn't have that feeling. She could move freely between the buildings.
"Yes, yes." Bai Meemie raised her index finger with a serious expression. "Every time I leave a new building, I can feel a slight resistance. This resistance was not felt in the previous world."
Gu Huaiwei nodded thoughtfully.
She actually discovered it.
When she was in the wasteland world, she found that she was not affected by the radiation pollution outside. When she was in the alien world, she found that she would not age quickly even if she did not drink magnetic value.
Likewise, in Gray Mist City, the barriers between dungeons could not stop her from coming and going freely.
After all, Gu Huaiwei is the operator selected by the park and does not belong to the small plane, so the restrictions of the small plane are invalid for her.
“Bang—”
The sky began to fog again, and the originally gray sun was completely hidden behind the clouds. The low bell sound came from the bell tower not far away, heavy and long, tearing the silent town apart.
Gu Huaiwei glanced at the time on her phone. It was now nine fifteen in the morning.
"Sister Gu, there's someone in the bell tower." Bai Meimei took Gu Huaiwei's hand and looked up at the bell tower. "I didn't smell anyone, but I saw someone hiding behind the big yellow bell!"
The blurry figure standing high on the bell tower looked like a piece of paper cutting.
"Was it that man who rang the bell?"
"No, that person appeared when the bell rang." Bai Meimei was a little excited. She felt that she had successfully found the first customer and could get a reward.
Gu Huaiwei narrowed her eyes and patted Bai Meimei's arm: "Let's go up and take a look."
The bell tower is very tall, has been idle for decades, and the stairs are dilapidated.
They quickly climbed the spiral staircase. The wooden steps creaked under the weight, as if they would break at any moment.
When they reached the top floor, Gu Huaiwei saw a hunchbacked old woman standing next to the big yellow clock, staring at them with cloudy eyes.
Gu Huaiwei smelled an old and decayed scent on the old woman, like a piece of rotten wood.
Living people have the smell of living people.
This old woman doesn't have it.
The old woman appeared suddenly.
The space on the bell tower is narrow, and judging from the physical condition of the old woman in front of him, she doesn't seem like someone who can climb that high.
It's always a little abnormal.
"Hello, I'm the store manager and salesperson for Oasis Nursing Home. Are you nearby? We're a newly opened nursing home with professional medical care and rehabilitation services. Would you consider it?"
Gu Huaiwei put on her signature smile and took the initiative to hand the unfinished flyer to the old lady in front of her.
She didn't care who the old woman was. She was a human being after all. She would first trick her into going back to the nursing home and see if she could do business with her.
The old woman didn't say anything, nor did she reach out to take the advertisement that Gu Huaiwei handed over.
She smiled strangely and handed a yellowed note to Gu Huaiwei.
Gu Huaiwei took the note.
On the note, scribbled words read: When the first bell rings, your guest will randomly appear in any corner of the city. When the second bell rings, the guest will leave the city.
This means that Gu Huaiwei has to find the customer within the time interval between the two bells.
"Who are you?"
The old woman did not answer, like a silent wax figure.
"Why are you telling me this?" Gu Huaiwei held the note in her hand.
She asked the questions all at once.
"How long is the interval between the two chimes?"
"This town is so big. How can I pinpoint the exact location of the customers after the bell rings?"
The old woman still said nothing.
Gu Huaiwei was silent for a moment, then looked at her with burning eyes: "Have we met before in the previous dimension?"
