He needs to make a name for himself in the game, otherwise he'll have no choice but to go home and inherit his family's billions.
But Gu Xinghe felt he was still young and could still go out and make his own way in the world; he didn't want to go back so early to inherit the family fortune.
So, before the next game instance began, he started his meticulous preparations.
On his waist-mounted reagent belt were several tubes of the medicine he was researching, the Rose Nebula, and some other odds and ends.
Finally, Gu Xinghe put his arm around Eiffel, who was standing to the side.
Seven days later, the game system's mechanical electronic voice rang in Gu Xinghe's ears precisely on time—
Located in the town of Green in the Enlightenment Empire, the Doom Tavern is renowned for its drinks in the surrounding area.
Rumor has it that the tavern's wine contains a secret drug that makes it unforgettable for everyone who drinks it.
Some even claim to have seen the figure of Teresa, the saint of the Thorn Cult, drinking in a tavern.
Rumors, based on hearsay and speculation, began to spread, making the tavern's existence increasingly mysterious.
[The owner of this renowned tavern has never been seen by anyone, making him seem extremely mysterious.]
Welcome to the game instance – Doom Tavern
This time, Gu Xinghe couldn't detect any emotion in the mechanical voice.
After a brief introduction, the game's objectives appeared—
Main Quest: Work as a [Bartender] at the Doom Tavern for 7 days.
[Quest Completion Reward: 3 bottles of fine wine from the Doom Tavern]
Side Quest 1: Mix 10 drinks that will satisfy your guests.
[Reward for completing the mission: ???]
Side Quest 2: Look in the Mirror at the Doom Tavern
[Reward for completing the mission: ???]
Side Quest 3: Find the tavern owner hidden in the Doom Tavern
[Reward for completing the mission: ???]
[Number of participants in the instance: 8]
[Note: Side quests are optional and not mandatory.]
After listening to the mission information, Gu Xinghe looked down to check, and all the reagents he had carefully prepared were successfully retained on his body.
But it was clear that Eiffel did not come along.
Theoretically speaking, Eiffel, as an alchemical doll, does not possess true life.
It can barely be judged as a "thing" by the standard.
However, she was still unable to enter the game instance with Gu Xinghe.
Putting these questions aside, Gu Xinghe refocused his attention on the dungeon quest—
After completing the beginner dungeon, it seems that there is now a background information for the quests before they are assigned.
A brief introduction to the game instance he was about to experience was given.
But Gu Xinghe looked at the names mentioned in the mission background.
He never expected that in the second game instance, he would come into contact with things related to the Thorn Cult.
The mission background mentions Theresa.
At the same time, it was during his listening to Chris's innermost thoughts that he mentioned the sect's saintess, who seemed to be a key figure.
The Thorn Sect, symbolizing asceticism and hardship.
A tavern that can be equated with indulgence and pleasure.
Why would a saint from a religious sect appear in a tavern?
Or is this really just a rumor?
Gu Xinghe then looked at the main quest and side quests—
This game instance is called "Tavern of Doom".
This seems to be a building whose name alone sounds ominous.
However, based on the records of the Qiming Empire that Gu Xinghe had seen, this country...
The Thorn Cult served as the state religion of the Enlightened Empire.
There are actually quite a few things in the empire that are named after suffering and misfortune.
This is because this is a kingdom that worships the goddess of thorns, and these are all symbols and synonyms of her.
Unlike the beginner dungeon, which is a hybrid of survival and role-playing, this dungeon looks like a pure grind dungeon.
The first side quest even requires players to achieve certain work results.
Finally, Gu Xinghe looked at the reward for the side quest, which was full of question marks.
Unlike the previous side quest reward in the [Rose Manor] instance, which specified the Rose Nebula as its reward.
The rewards for this side quest are all unknown.
Is it the game system itself? Does it not know what the outcome will be after completing these side quests?
The reopening of the live stream interrupted Gu Xinghe's thoughts—
Gu Xinghe's live stream is finally back online.
I wonder if he'll be able to get carried to victory in this dungeon?
This dungeon isn't difficult; basically, all you need to do is be a diligent worker.
As long as you ignore the side quests and only do the main quests, surviving for 7 days shouldn't be a problem.
Yes, seeing all sorts of customers can be a bit crazy.
[After all, there are many oddly shaped guests who have been contaminated.]
Gu Xinghe listened attentively to the information conveyed by the bullet comments.
This game instance doesn't seem to be very difficult.
Before him, it seemed that quite a few players had already safely completed this instance.
Even walkthroughs for completing the game have been compiled.
Others may not know this.
In the previous instance, Gu Xinghe originally just wanted to safely complete the main quest.
He had no intention of doing side quests.
Chris pulled him away directly.
Simply slapping the route guide in his face isn't enough; you have to lead him directly to the finish line.
Therefore, Gu Xinghe estimated that he wouldn't encounter a second Chris in this instance.
Adhering to the principle of putting life first.
His original intention, of course, was to focus solely on completing the main quest.
At most, I'll complete the first side quest as well.
It's best to avoid the other two side quests, which have an eerie atmosphere just from their descriptions.
