As the light outside the door disappeared, the castle fell into darkness. Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, a candle suddenly lit up in the distance, and then the candles slowly lit up one by one, from far to near.
It was not until the candles nearby were lit that everyone noticed in the flickering candlelight that there was a person not far away - a middle-aged man sitting in a wooden wheelchair.
The middle-aged man was about fifty years old, younger than the housekeeper, but his eyes seemed more vicissitudes of life, like a pool of stagnant water. He sat motionless in the wheelchair, without even moving his eyeballs, like a statue.
Xiao Tangqiu was startled and subconsciously took a step back, but his reaction was still calm. Several newcomers were frightened by the sudden appearance of this guy and screamed, but their rude screams still did not attract the attention of the man in the wheelchair. He was still staring at something.
"Master...I have brought the guests."
It was not until the housekeeper came forward to report that the man finally moved - his eyes moved and slowly turned to everyone.
Wherever his sight reached, the newcomers retreated in fear. Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth and held on without retreating.
"I'm sorry, the master has difficulty moving," the housekeeper explained calmly, seemingly oblivious to the guests' impoliteness. "He welcomes you and hopes you'll have a pleasant vacation here..."
"The second floor is the restaurant, and the third to fifth floors are guest rooms. You can choose whichever you like," the housekeeper smiled. "...Except for the attic, you can enter any other room. But please remember, the attic is the only room you are absolutely not allowed to enter."
In the flickering candlelight, her smile seemed a little weird. Xiao Tangqiu felt a little scared, but he instantly realized in his heart - it seemed that the attic was the key to the mission.
At this moment, a girl who had been following Shen Yuan but had never spoken a word started laughing. She played with a curl of her hair and asked the housekeeper with a grin, "What would happen if we went into the attic?"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, Xiao Tangqiu instantly noticed that the atmosphere around him had changed. It seemed to have become several degrees colder. With a thought, he activated his special skill card - "Sexy Anchor's Live Broadcast Room".
The next second, a translucent live broadcast room page appeared in front of his eyes, and countless barrages of comments burst out instantly.
"If the characters in the story say you can't go, then you must go! Nozuonodie, you must try! Go anchor!"
"The screen is so dark! This visibility is terrible! I strongly urge the anchor to turn on the flashlight!"
"The anchor shouldn't have a flashlight! Brother Dei, are you a new fan? The anchor is really broke. I finally saved up some points and bought all of them canned food..."
"Poor anchor, QAQ, then I'll give you a nuclear flashlight!"
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly felt a heaviness in his pocket, and he subconsciously reached out to feel around... The next second, he actually pulled out a flashlight.
This is a very ordinary flashlight, but there is a small piece of paper stuck under the switch, with a line of twisted handwriting on it -
"Nuclear Flashlight".
...Hey! This is just an ordinary flashlight with a piece of paper stuck on it!
He has little education, don't lie to him!
At this moment, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered the holy water yellow talismans he had seen before, and suddenly felt a little confused. Why didn't he get those holy water yellow talismans before?
...Oh, right? Those Holy Water Yellow Talismans were given to him by "fans" after the dungeon was over. Perhaps after the dungeon is over, the rewards won't appear in physical form? But where did those Holy Water Yellow Talismans go? Did they get reset after the new dungeon started?
But in that case, what’s the point of rewarding those holy water and yellow talismans?
So, who are the fans of this livestream? Are they also gamers?
Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously wanted to open the anchor's backstage. As soon as he thought about it, a translucent anchor's backstage interface really appeared in front of him. This anchor's backstage interface was similar to his previous anchor's backstage interface, but the column that should have displayed the gift income was not the gift income, but something he had never seen before - "Tucao Value".
...Complaint value? What the hell is that? What's the use?
He was confused for a moment, but became even more confused after seeing the number behind the "Tucao value" - "250".
250? Where did he get the Tucao value?
Xiao Tangqiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a thought occurred to him. Could it be that this Tucao value... was the gift income converted from the rewards like holy water and yellow talismans? This Tucao value was equivalent to his gift income?
At this moment, he suddenly noticed a line of small text above the live broadcast room: "This skill can be used 1/3 of the time in this dungeon. The skill lasts for 1 minute. 1000 Tucao points are required before the next skill upgrade. Following it is a countdown - 6."
Xiao Tangqiu: “?”
5, 4...
Xiao Tangqiu: “???”
3, 2, 1...
Skill ends.
The live broadcast room interface in front of me disappeared instantly.
Xiao Tangqiu: "..."
...What the hell? What kind of useless skill is this?!
It's okay that a copy can only be used three times, and it's okay that it can only be used for one minute at a time. No matter how you look at it, its use is only to complain and give away some useless things!
What a useless skill! Flipping the table! Not only is it useless, but it should be used sparingly!
Just as Xiao Tangqiu was madly complaining in his heart, Tang Mianmian suddenly interrupted his reverie and said, "Let's stay in the same room, right?"
When he came to his senses, he found that everyone was already discussing how to allocate rooms. In addition to the four people in Shen Yuan's group and them, there were four old players, and the remaining ten people were new players. The old players naturally had to live together. None of them was willing to play with newcomers. After all, this was not an ordinary game. In ordinary games, if newcomers held them back, they would lose a few games at most, but in this place, if they were held back by newcomers, they would lose their lives in minutes.
A few newcomers had the audacity to seek help from the old players, but they were turned down and had to return to the newcomers in disgrace. Of course, some people saw that Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were calm, not like newcomers, and tried to team up with them. Tang Mianmian refused without a second thought. He didn't dare to trust anyone except Xiao Tangqiu, let alone these rookies who would drag them down at any moment.
When Xiao Tangqiu came to his senses, the ten newcomers had almost been assigned rooms. There happened to be five men and five women, and it seemed that they planned to have five men sleep in one room and five women sleep in another. Although this was a bit crowded, they seemed to think that there was safety in numbers - if something really happened at night, with so many people, they could all have someone to take the blame.
