The beloved heiress (6)
Wang Juanhua said, "I don't know why. I asked her name, and she said it was Ding Zhelan. She didn't say anything else. After giving me these medicines, she ran away immediately."
Jian Tanxi pondered, "Could there be other surviving players here?"
According to the rules of the Paper Doll game, if someone dies while a group of people are playing, the others cannot leave the instance.
However, not being able to leave doesn't mean immediate death. Perhaps the remaining players can survive in the instance indefinitely.
Could it be that Ding Zhelan is a surviving player from the past who played this game?
Jian Tanxi was confused and didn't have time to investigate. Perhaps she could see that girl again if given the chance.
After they finished tidying up, they went to Ou Bao'er's room.
Ou Bao'er said, "I'm going swimming, so get ready. There can't be any unauthorized people near the pool, especially no men. Also, I want 12 kinds of juice, each with a different flavor, and they must be freshly squeezed."
Just then, a mechanical voice announced: "Ding-dong! Main quest two triggered: Accompany Miss Bao'er swimming. Time: 3 hours. Good luck, nannies!"
Several players went into the nanny's room and briefly assigned tasks.
Meng Yuening and Du Jiaojiao were responsible for making juice in the kitchen because their health points were low. Going to the kitchen would allow them to avoid taking care of Ou Bao'er and reduce their chances of being punished.
Jian Tanxi and Shen Kexin were responsible for driving away people near the pool, especially preventing men from getting close.
Their health points weren't high either, so by accepting this mission, they could legitimately stay away from Ou Bao'er.
Wang Juanhua and Qin Man were responsible for taking care of Ou Bao'er while she swam, and were always ready to answer her commands. This was because they had the highest life points and could withstand punishment.
After assigning tasks, Meng Yuening and Du Jiaojiao went to the kitchen.
Du Jiaojiao said she couldn't walk anymore, but Meng Yuening didn't indulge her and pushed her along.
Jian Tanxi and Shen Kexin went to clear the pool first.
When they arrived at the pool, they saw two young and handsome men sitting by the pool.
Jian Tanxi stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who you are? Miss Bao'er is coming to swim later, could you please leave first?"
The two boys stood up and said, "We are the third and fourth young masters of the Ou family. Since Bao'er wants to go swimming, you two should take good care of her and make sure nothing goes wrong. Otherwise, you can't predict the consequences."
Jian Tanxi quickly replied, "Yes, Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master, don't worry."
With the third and fourth young masters gone, Jian Tanxi breathed a sigh of relief.
She clearly felt that these two young masters were not very old, but they were very intimidating, as if they could tear the player to pieces at any moment.
The Ou family is a den of dragons and tigers. Jian Tanxi had already experienced that stone house before, and she didn't know if there were even more terrifying torture instruments elsewhere.
She and Shen Kexin looked around a few times and, finding no one else around, went back to inform Ou Bao'er that she could come swimming.
Ou Bao'er, wearing a swimsuit, entered the heated pool.
Jian Tanxi and Shen Kexin were responsible for patrolling to prevent any other people from suddenly appearing.
Wang Juanhua and Qin Man stayed by the pool, carefully taking care of Ou Bao'er.
After swimming for a while, Ou Bao'er threw a tantrum and said, "Where's my juice? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Wang Juanhua said, "Miss Bao'er, please wait a little longer. Aunt Du and Aunt Meng have already gone to the kitchen to make juice."
"Wait, wait, wait! How long are we supposed to wait?! Are you guys pigs?!"
At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded: "Wang Juanhua's anger value is detected to be 5. All nannies' health points are reduced by 5. Current health points: Jian Tanxi 67, Qin Man 92, Du Jiaojiao 21, Meng Yuening 60, Shen Kexin 60, Wang Juanhua 88."
Wang Juanhua looked at Jian Tanxi and the others with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I've tried my best to control my temper..."
Jian Tanxi said, "It's alright, it's not a big problem."
Qin Man also said, "It's okay, don't blame yourself."
At times like this, infighting is pointless and will only increase anger, further reducing everyone's health.
Wang Juanhua used to be the dean of students, and now she gets scolded by a little girl all the time, so it's normal for her to be angry.
It's hardest to change a person's temper; it's unrealistic to expect her to have no temper all at once.
However, at this moment, the mechanical voice sounded again: "Du Jiaojiao's anger value is detected to be 5. All nannies have their health points reduced by 5. Current health points: Jian Tanxi 62, Qin Man 87, Du Jiaojiao 16, Meng Yuening 55, Shen Kexin 55, Wang Juanhua 83."
Du Jiaojiao wasn't even there, so there's only one reason her anger level increased: Wang Juanhua's anger level increased, causing her to lose five health points, which made her angry too.
But this leaves her with only 16 health points. We need to give her a healing pill quickly.
However, only Jian Tanxi and Qin Man had the healing pills. Both of them were on this side of the pool and could not leave their posts without permission, otherwise Ou Bao'er would be angry, and the consequences would be severe.
Just then, Meng Yuening, who had gone to the kitchen to make juice, came over. She was carrying a tray with twelve glasses of juice on it.
Originally, Du Jiaojiao and Meng Yuening were together, but Du Jiaojiao's life force was too low, and she may have fainted on the way, so only Meng Yuening returned.
Meng Yuening said to Ou Baoer, "Miss Baoer, here is your juice."
Ou Bao'er flew into a rage: "Idiot!"
She climbed up, knocked over all twelve glasses of juice, pointed at Meng Yuening, and yelled, "Are you a pig? Give me twelve glasses of juice, how am I supposed to drink them all? Even if I did, I'd have high blood sugar! You can't even do such a small thing right, do you even deserve to be my nanny?"
Meng Yuening tried her best to control herself, but her anger level still rose by 1 point.
The current health values of all players are: Jian Tanxi 61, Qin Man 86, Du Jiaojiao 15, Meng Yuening 54, Shen Kexin 54, and Wang Juanhua 82.
Meng Yuening patiently explained, "Miss Bao'er, didn't you order twelve kinds of juice?"
Ou Bao'er: "I wanted 12 kinds of juice, but I didn't say to use such a big cup! One small cup of each kind of juice is enough. Don't you even understand that?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Bao'er, I'll prepare it again right away."
"No need to prepare, just accept the punishment!"
Suddenly, a ball appeared in Ou Bao'er's hand, surrounded by lightning.
She threw the lightning ball at Meng Yuening, who was enveloped beneath it, unable to escape or move.
The lightning ball emitted lightning, which then surrounded Meng Yuening.
A series of crackling electrical sounds rang out, and Meng Yuening let out several screams.
She is usually quite tolerant of pain, but even she couldn't bear it, which shows how much it really hurt.
After a while, Ober retrieved the lightning ball.
Meng Yuening fell to the ground and couldn't stand up for a while; several parts of her skin were burned.
Seeing Meng Yuening's disheveled appearance, Ou Bao'er burst into laughter.
Meng Yuening's rage increased by 5, and all players' health decreased by 5. At the same time, Meng Yuening was damaged by a lightning ball, losing 20 health points.
The current health values are: Jian Tanxi 56, Qin Man 81, Du Jiaojiao 10, Meng Yuening 29, Shen Kexin 49, and Wang Juanhua 77.
Jian Tanxi's health was down to half, and that feeling of extreme weakness returned.
However, her biggest worry was not herself, but Du Jiaojiao.
Du Jiaojiao's life points are down to only 10, she is in imminent danger, we must save her immediately.
However, Jian Tanxi had no reason to leave.
At this moment, Ou Bao'er said, "I'm so bored. Go find someone to swim with me."
Jian Tanxi asked, "Miss Bao'er, who are you looking for?"
"You're so stupid, go find Ding Zhelan. When she was at my house, I always asked her to keep me company."
"Ding Zhelan..."
This was the second time I had heard the name Jian Tanxi.
Ding Zhelan had just given them a lot of medicine for their injuries, but she delivered it through Wang Juanhua, and Jian Tanxi had never met Ding Zhelan before.
Wang Juanhua also realized that she was the only player who had ever met Ding Zhelan, so she volunteered: "Miss Bao'er, I'll go find Ding Zhelan. I don't know where she lives."
Ou Bao'er suddenly became angry: "How dare you call Ding Zhelan by her name? I can call her by her name, but you can't! You should call her Miss Ding!"
"Yes... I don't know where Miss Ding is?"
"She lives in the Wutong Courtyard."
The Ou family's villa is very large, with many independent courtyards, and the Wutong Courtyard is one of them.
The players have to take care of Opal as soon as they arrive, so they haven't been to the other courtyards yet.
However, if you ask around, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Wang Juanhua said, "Okay, Miss Bao'er, I'll go and fetch Miss Ding right away."
Jian Tanxi walked over to Wang Juanhua, handed her a healing pill, and whispered, "While you're at it, find Du Jiaojiao and give her this healing pill; she's dying."
Wang Juanhua nodded and carefully put away the healing pills.
Not long after, a mechanical voice announced: "Du Jiaojiao has taken a healing pill, restoring 100 health points. However, players' healing pills are running low, hehe... I guess you can only live for another day, or half a day, hahaha..."
This mechanical sound is truly somewhat perverted.
Everyone tacitly ignored it, but they couldn't help feeling a little heavy-hearted.
My health is dropping way too fast.
Moreover, the health system is bizarrely designed, as it's linked to rage. If one player gets angry, all players suffer. And players who are unfairly targeted will then become angry, creating a vicious cycle.
If Jian Tanxi and the others hadn't been able to control themselves, they might have died long ago.
After a while, Wang Juanhua and Du Jiaojiao came over together.
Behind them followed a girl in a green dress. The girl looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, pure and lovely, with a slender figure, but she looked somewhat melancholy.
She must be Ding Zhelan.
I don't know her identity. Is she a player from the previous batch, or an NPC?
When Ou Bao'er saw Du Jiaojiao, she questioned, "Du Ma, where did you go? Why didn't you come back immediately?"
Du Jiaojiao was the type of person who couldn't stand being insulted and instinctively wanted to retort, but then she remembered her mission and could only patiently say, "Miss Bao'er, I was too tired just now and fainted. It wasn't on purpose that I didn't come."
"Hmph, unconscious? I bet you're just trying to slack off! A lazy nanny like you needs to be taught a lesson! Someone, come here!"
Two female bodyguards approached and asked, "Miss Bao'er, what is it?"
