Chapter 221 Moral Bottom Line
In the east guest room on the third floor, Xu Dongsheng sat on the floor in front of the door, feeling a little desperate.
The president gave him such an important prop as [Little P.'s meat bones], but he still couldn't get even a little bit of mission completion from the giant dog with "concentrated sulfuric acid" in its mouth.
He did gain some friendly emotions. Soon after he threw the meat bone to Little P, he received a system notification saying that he had successfully obtained 5% of exclusive friendly emotions. However, this part of exclusive friendly emotions did not improve his task completion rate at all.
Moreover, the big dog ran away with his props again.
As the day got hotter and later, Xu Dongsheng recalled the terrifying appearance of the female ghost that had wandered out of the villa at night. His body shook unconsciously, and he became more and more reluctant to leave the room and chase the dog.
In this case, how long will it take to complete the task? Just as I was thinking, a system prompt sounded in my mind -
WC: [Congratulations to the contestants! Main mission 2, completion rate increased to: 10%! ]
Xu Dongsheng was confused.
During this period of time, he had not left his room at all, so how could he have completed the task, and it was actually as high as 10%? Xu Dongsheng called up the chat group of the Wen Na Guild from the system and sent a message to it -
[Winter.: My task completion rate suddenly soared! ] [Winter.: Does anyone know why? Did someone do something to Xiao P.? ] [Winter.: That dog? Thank God it doesn't spit on people's faces, who would do anything to it?] [Nine: Sorry, it's me] [Nine: [Picture]] Xu Dongsheng hurriedly clicked on the picture sent by the president and found that it was a picture of his own room that the other party had taken at the last minute.
The photo was taken hastily and the picture is blurry. Two arms can be vaguely seen in the corners on both sides, and in the center of the picture, the president took a picture of his own hands using the system in his mind.
Although the shooting style is very abstract, Xu Dongsheng vaguely understood the theme - raise your hands to prove your innocence?
But why do we need to prove our innocence?
Then the other party sent another message soon -
[Nine: Ah Zi and Xiao Huang are both in my room] [Nine: Sorry @ Winter.@1Ming ] [Nine: They insisted on rushing in] [Nine: I didn't touch them on my own initiative, if you mind] [Winter.: No no no] [Winter.: I don't mind at all!] [Winter.: Guildmaster! If you can, please help me! Please!] [Nine:?] [Winter.: What did you do to them? Why did my completion rate soar by 10%?] [Nine: I said I didn't do anything, do you believe me?] [Winter.: I believe it!] [Nine: Really, I didn't] [Winter.: If you can, please do it!] [Winter.: As long as the guildmaster is willing to help, I will definitely perform well in the future guild missions and repay you with all my strength] [Winter.: Thank you for your trouble!] [Winter.: [Kneeling down to thank].gif] [Nine:?] ...
…
In the guest room on the sixth floor, at the entrance, Wen Nan was sandwiched between two maids and was feeling embarrassed. He originally wanted to send a message in the group, asking Liang Yiming and Xu Dongsheng to come over and take his target away quickly, so as to avoid some ethical conflicts within the guild if things continued.
As a result, I unexpectedly received a series of replies from Xu Dongsheng.
this……
Wen Nan didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.
I didn't expect that there is such a talent in their guild. Do you like the Minotaur plot? However, Liang Yiming never replied in the group. It seems that he has some complaints about Wen Nan's behavior? It seems that I have to find a way to find an opportunity to explain it to him.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.
Wen Nan squeezed out from between the two people and hurried to open the door, only to see Liang Yiming standing at the door with a bad look on his face.
Wen Nan's eyes fell on the other person's arm. Seeing the three bloody wounds there, he was shocked. "Is it serious? Let's go downstairs to see Doctor Lu?"
Liang Yiming shook his head, suddenly raised his hand and took out a bundle of ropes.
For a moment, Wen Nan suspected that he wanted to fight with Wen Nan because he blamed him for stealing his partner. Just as he was about to explain, he heard the other side say in a deep voice: "President, this is my personal prop. If possible, please take this with you and continue with Xiao Huang.
"Please keep going, President. Don't stop!"
After saying that, he stuffed the rope into Wen Nan's hand and left without looking back.
Wen Nan clutched the rope, looking at Liang Yiming's back as he disappeared at the stairs with an indescribable look on his face.
His guild is truly filled with talented people...
…
…
Liang Yiming walked down from the sixth floor and went straight to Dr. Lu's pharmacy.
Earlier, when he was about to reach the pharmacy, he saw the message in the guild group, and immediately turned around and rushed to the sixth floor.
Judging from the message from Xu Dongsheng in the group, A Zi or Xiao P., during some interaction with their president, successfully helped Xu Dongsheng get 10% of the task completion.
This means that this task does not have to be completed by a designated player. Other players can also help the player complete this main task as long as they can "conquer" the strategy target? However, maids A Zi and Xiao Huang were clearly in the president's room, "closely communicating" with the president. Why did Xu Dongsheng's task completion rate increase by 10%, but his task completion rate remained at that pitiful 1%?
Liang Yiming thought about it for a moment and quickly came up with the most likely answer - it was that portable prop.
In this second main mission, the target to be "conquered" does not necessarily have to be a designated player, but it must be the designated "portable item".
Realizing the problem, Liang Yiming immediately ran to the sixth floor, knocked on the president's door, and handed his personal props to the other party.
Although he didn't understand how the president had "conquered" the target to achieve such a good effect, he succeeded in sending out his personal props, which made him feel relieved.
Next, his partner will be handed over to the president. Damn it! Silently cheering for the president in his heart, Liang Yiming then came to Dr. Lu's pharmacy again.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, there was a sudden noise in the room, which scared Liang Yiming so much that he stopped moving.
Leaning over the crack of the door, Liang Yiming listened attentively.
The room was filled with the sound of noise.
Liang Yiming became flustered after hearing this, and quickly stood up straight, then took a few steps back, trying to stay as far away from the room as possible.
I always feel that something very terrible is happening in there.
Rather than taking the risk of getting involved, Liang Yiming felt that the wound on his arm was not unbearable - he could go back to the room and use the tools in the first aid kit to simply bandage it.
Thinking of this, he quietly left the "torture room".
…
…
Sixth floor guest room.
Wen Nan was still caught between Xiao Huang and A Zi, in a dilemma.
He raised his hand and gently pushed the two people's shoulders, wanting them to move away a little, but Xiao Huang and A Zi misunderstood and thought that Wen Nan wanted to interact with them. Immediately, expressions of joy and anticipation appeared on their faces at the same time.
However, after waiting for a while, the two men felt a little disappointed when they saw that the man in the middle did not take any further action.
Ah Zi raised her hand, took Wen Nan's palm, put it on her cheek, and began to teach him how to pet a dog, "Brother, rub this place, it will feel very comfortable."
Wen Nan:? Seeing this, Xiao Huang on the other side was not to be outdone. He grabbed Wen Nan's wrist and pressed it against himself, "It's like this, start from the head, along the back, downwards, all the way to the end, use force at the bigu, and finally the tail. Oh, there's no tail anymore, so pinch the pads on the soles of your feet."
Wen Nan: ? ?
This is really weird.
Wen Nan felt that his sense of morality and bottom line as a human being were being greatly challenged.
Just as he was stiff and trying to think of a countermeasure, the actions of the two girls beside him escalated again -
They both knelt down at the same time and put their noses close to somewhere on Wen Nan.
Wen Nan: ??? He took a few steps back in panic, walked directly through the entrance, and retreated to the carpet beside the bed.
The two maids knelt on the ground and followed him inside.
The two seemed to be completely unaware of how weird the scene was. They still smiled and explained to Wen Nan the "common sense" in their circle: "Brother, let us smell it, and you can also smell ours. This is a very basic social interaction. Don't be embarrassed. After the social interaction, we can... continue to the next step."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
You don’t need to ask what the next step is.
Without waiting for Wen Nan to respond, the two men knelt down and raised their hands to untie Wen Nan's belt.
Wen Nan was about to speak when the two girls raised their heads and their gazes fell on a certain place above their heads. Then, their cheeks, which were originally flushed, suddenly turned as pale as paper.
Both of them widened their eyes in fear at the same time. Ah Zi's eyes became dull and Xiao Huang screamed in fear.
Soon, the two turned around and crawled out of Wen Nan's room, even slamming the door when they left, as if there was some terrible radiation source in the room and their lives would be in danger if they didn't stay away.
Wen Nan looked towards the closed door and fell into deep thought.
He subconsciously raised his neck, trying to look above his head.
However, when he raised his head halfway, the image of the 12 runes on the secret door suddenly appeared in his mind, and his neck froze instantly.
His brows knitted together and his face darkened.
Suddenly, he recalled everything that had just happened - he lay on the bed, looked at the runes on the secret door, thought of a key point, and then, as if his brain was overloaded, fell into a coma.
This time, Wen Nan no longer looked at the runes above his head, but simply lowered his eyes and looked at the palm of his hand. In the palm of his hand, the circular control pattern faintly appeared with golden light...
His head felt sore and swollen, his temples were throbbing, and Wen Nan began to feel dizzy and had a headache again.
He clenched his fists, no longer looking at the golden patterns on his palms, shook his head vigorously, trying to keep himself awake, and quickly walked through the entrance and to the door.
The moment I successfully left the room, it was like swimming ashore from the turbulent sea. The feeling of suffocation quickly dissipated and my five senses became clear again.
Wen Nan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
After thinking for a moment, he walked downstairs.
Arriving at the door of the alchemist's secret room, Wen Nan raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
After thinking for a while, he took out the pair of keys that Leng Leng and Qing Qing had given him before, and opened the door with a click.
Pushing the door open and walking into the room, the scene inside was exactly the same as what Wen Nan saw when he first came in -
In the dark room, the starry sky was within reach. Countless stars, big and small, surrounded Wen Nan and rotated slowly.
He raised his hand and wanted to touch one of them. A familiar voice sounded behind him:
"Very pretty, isn't it?"
Without knowing when, Yu Shou Ling passed through the corridor leading to the underground laboratory and came to this room on the fourth floor.
She was still wearing the "Thousand Faces" suit, her long hair was tied up behind her head with a wooden hairpin, and the ruby between her collarbones reflected a strange glow under the shining of the surrounding stars.
She walked slowly to Wen Nan, raised her hand, and lightly tapped one of the stars. The star immediately flickered like a firefly and flew away.
"Did you make these stars too?" Wen Nan asked.
Yushou Ling shook his head, "This is what my father left behind. He was a great magician who was proficient in astrology.
"My father once said that in this world, astrology came first, then physics, and alchemy came later, then chemistry...
"In his opinion, magic and science are one and the same. They just use different means and methods. In the end, they both exist for the sake of mankind."
Wen Nan's mind moved.
When Yu Shouling mentioned her father for the first time, Wen Nan wanted to ask her if she was talking about the God of Creation, the Grand Mage Aghanim who forged the fragments of the Scepter.
However, judging from the background introduction of this game world in the system, Grand Mage Aghanim died a hundred years ago, and Amulet Zero looks to be no more than twenty years old, so the time does not match at all.
Suppressing this thought, Wen Nan asked another, more urgent question: "Xiao Ling, do you have any medicine that can prevent some mysterious magic tools from invading people's consciousness and causing them to fall into a coma?"
Hearing Wen Nan's question, Yu Shou Ling turned his head and looked at him straight.
It was pitch black all around, with only a few twinkling stars. The starlight fell into Yu Shouling's dark pupils, filling her eyes with a western style with tiny rays of light.
Wen Nan thought his explanation was too vague, so he tried to explain: "That is, some mechanisms, or devices, seem to have some special hypnotic effect. Do you have any here that can help crack it -"
"—Don't go near that secret room."
Before Wen Nan could finish his words, Yu Shou Ling spoke up and interrupted him.
Her tone was calm, but her words were cold:
"Behind that door is a place from which there is no return."
