Zhou Zhou didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. After he had eaten to his heart's content, he said to Alvia and Zeus, "Let's go too."
"Do you know where the treasure chest is?" asked Elvia.
Zhou Zhou shook his head: "The location of the treasure chest changes randomly every time. It may appear anywhere, so I don't know where it will appear this time."
Zeus raised his hands high: "I know! I will take you to find it." The sooner we find it, the sooner we can go back.
Alvia saw what Zeus was planning at a glance: "No need, we'll look for it slowly."
While other players were running around looking for treasure chests, the three of them were strolling leisurely around the campus.
Suddenly, a golden light emanated from the rooftop of a teaching building. At night, this dazzling light was like a signpost, attracting all nearby players.
Not far away, Elvia was staring at the golden light on the roof as if she was afraid that others would not see it. She was speechless. Is this the guidance that the clown mentioned?
It is indeed a guide, and one that everyone can see at the same time.
The dazzling light disappeared soon after, leaving only a golden arrow pointing to the roof, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
Many players have already followed the arrows and are heading towards their goal.
The three of them followed the other players and walked towards the teaching building.
More and more people were attracted, and each player wanted to be the first to find the treasure chest. When they saw another player running ahead of them, they would immediately speed up and run as fast as they could.
But they are not alone. Each player brings his own NPC, and these NPCs seem to have no interest in finding treasure chests and may even hinder their efforts.
"The building is too high. I can't walk."
"I don't want to go to the teaching building. Why are you taking me there so late at night?"
"Why are you walking so fast? Did you do it on purpose?"
Faced with the unreasonable behavior of the NPCs, the players were overwhelmed, but they could only coax the NPCs in a nice way. After all, the first piece of information given on the task panel was that the NPC should not be allowed to leave the sight, and every prompt of the game could not be ignored.
But the NPCs who were throwing tantrums seemed to be there specifically to hinder the team, and some even turned around and walked in the opposite direction in anger.
"Hey, hey, don't go, don't go, my ancestors."
"Look everyone is heading up there. We're going to look for a treasure chest with prizes."
A player turned around to look at the NPC who was about to walk away, then looked at the arrow on the roof. Feeling anxious, he ran over, grabbed his NPC and ran upstairs.
Get the treasure chest first.
The NPC struggled for a few times, but found that he couldn't get free, so he immediately became angry, and the favorability level above his head began to decrease.
"Hey, brother, stop running. Your favorability is decreasing." Someone shouted at the running player, but the other party turned a deaf ear and just ran upstairs.
Some players also imitated his actions, pulling people up and running away regardless of the NPC's resistance.
As long as they run fast enough, the favorability level won't drop too much, and with the 30% after finding the treasure chest, they will definitely be able to pass the level.
Zhou Zhou belatedly remembered that he was now also a member of the dungeon NPC and had to play his role well, so he imitated the other NPCs and complained to Alvia: "I don't want to go up. The building is too high and my feet hurt when I walk."
Zeus looked up at the four-story teaching building, blinked and said nothing. What Zhou Zhou said was right!
Alvia didn't say much, but walked to Zhou Zhou and picked him up.
"Hey? What are you doing?"
"Your feet hurt, don't they? I'll carry you up there, and you don't have to walk."
Zhou Zhou felt a little embarrassed to be held like a child.
"Isn't this a bad idea?"
Alvia was very calm, as if she had anticipated Zhou Zhou's reaction: "Aren't we a couple?" Zhou Zhou had taken the initiative before, and she had blushed in embarrassment in front of him, which made Alvia reflect countless times on how bad her performance was at that time.
So these days, in addition to dealing with work, he also studied a lot about how couples get along with each other. Now if it happened again, he would definitely not be nervous.
That’s right, they are a couple now, so this kind of thing is normal and don’t take it too seriously. After thinking this through, Zhou Zhou was content to be carried like a princess, and said to Alvia, "Then I'll carry you next time."
Zeus: "Pfft."
When I think of the scene of Elvia being hugged by Princess Zhou Zhou, it is truly a world-famous painting.
Alvia struggled a bit, but quickly agreed: "...Okay."
It's clearly just a love game in a dungeon, but the players around who can see and hear these two people always feel like they've eaten a meal of dog food and are a little full. How come these two act so realistically? Is it necessary to be so dedicated?
But this is a good idea. It can make the angry NPC speechless and will not affect their speed in finding the treasure chest.
I learned it. I learned it.
The player looked at his MPC affectionately and said, "Honey, let me carry you up there. Otherwise, if your feet hurt, I'll be so heartbroken."
The NPC who was just complaining about not wanting to go upstairs showed disgust on his face: "Ah~ You're so greasy."
Favorability reduced by 1.
Player: No, that’s not right. It’s the same process, why am I disliked by the NPC?
He turned around in disbelief and looked at the two people who had already walked into the building. They were so good-looking that even their backs looked different.
He was so angry that he was about to die. This was blatant discrimination!
After entering the building, Zhou Zhou kept looking for excuses to come down and leave, but each time he was stopped by Elvia with a few words. He could only obediently let himself be carried upstairs.
When passing the second floor, a player who had entered the corridor earlier was talking to himself in the air. He was clearly the only one in the corridor, but his behavior, expression, and language made it seem as if there was a group of people around him.
The player looked hesitant from time to time, looking left and right, looking confused.
Alvia didn't stop and continued to go upstairs.
Zhou Zhou was determined to get off at this time, so Elvia had no choice but to put him down, looking a little reluctant.
As soon as he landed, Zhou Zhou turned around and ran towards the corridor like a frightened rabbit, waving his hands and shouting as he ran: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Alvia: "There are no toilets in the game." Are you too lazy to even find an excuse?
For some reason, Zeus did not follow Zhou Zhou, but stood beside Elvia and boasted: "Zhou Zhou said it is there, so don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Generally speaking, in horror games, toilets are a high-incidence area for horror events. If you don't know, it only shows that you are not well-informed."
After saying this, he looked at Elvia with a look of contempt and complacency.
Being able to make such an annoying expression with such a cute face is quite an ability.
Zhou Zhou was not here this time, so Alvia put her hand on Zeus' head and said, "You've been here for too long. Do you have to bother me?"
Zeus shook his head and tried to break free from Alvia's clutches: "Who cares about you? I came here with Zhou Zhou."
"To work."
“No!”
"Children should stay out of adult matters."
"I'm older than you, I'm not a child!"
"You seem to have a problem with me lately?"
"snort!"
Seeing that Zeus just snorted a few times without refutation, Alvia squatted in front of Zeus and asked with an unprecedented gentle attitude: "When we first met, you said that I was the only human you liked. Now you start to hate me?"
Zeus stroked his hair and rolled his eyes at Elvia when he heard that.
"You're not the type who gets bored easily. I never thought artificial intelligence would pick up on human bad habits."
"I don't!" Zeus retorted with his eyes wide open, "I don't have the bad habits of humans."
"So you mean you don't hate me?"
Zeus pouted and was silent for a while before he said, "I like Zhou Zhou first, and you are only second. But if you two are together now, I will become alone."
Zeus said pitifully, and Alvia touched his head: "Maybe you can change your perspective. If we are together, you can act with the two of us at any time and go anywhere together. There will be no other people you don't know or don't like getting in between us."
What he said seemed to make sense, and Zeus was somewhat tempted.
"If I was with someone you didn't know, or Zhou Zhou was with another stranger, then the time we spent together would definitely be greatly reduced. But now, whether you are on the Starnet or in the palace, you can see both of us at the same time, without the presence of other strangers you hate. Isn't that great?"
It seemed to be true, and Zeus was convinced.
"Will you always take me with you to play?"
"certainly."
Zeus finally became happy and no longer had that annoying expression on his face when facing Elvia.
Alvia stood up. Although he was usually taciturn, it didn't mean he didn't know how to use it. After all, as a member of the royal family, he had already mastered the use of various psychological tactics.
Although Zeus has existed for thousands of years, has a vast amount of knowledge, and has met countless humans, his mind is still that of a child. He cannot hide things, and whatever he thinks is reflected on his face and in his actions.
If he were allowed to continue making trouble like this, it would indeed affect the relationship between him and Zhou Zhou.
So I can only solve his troubles first.
Seeing Zeus recover so quickly, Elvia couldn't help but rub his little curly hair again. He was indeed still a little boy.
Not long after, Zhou Zhou finally came back. The teaching building was U-shaped as a whole. If you entered from the front, there would be blind spots on both sides. Zhou Zhou had just entered the corridor on the right, so no one could see where he went or what he did.
Zeus: I know but I won't tell you.
"Okay, let's keep going up, Alvia, Zeus."
Zeus didn't move, and neither did Elvia.
Zhou Zhou tilted his head in confusion: "Aren't you guys going to the top floor?"
Zeus didn't say anything, he just came to watch the fun. The person who actually participated in the copy was Elvia. Although they had reconciled, he would not help the other party and even wanted to laugh at the other party.
It's such a double standard.
Alvia was very calm: "You are not Zhou Zhou."
Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhou ran out from the corner of the corridor. He ran towards here while shouting anxiously: "Don't believe him, he is fake."
Now standing in front of Zeus and Elvia are two identical Zhou Zhous. Not only can they both see the invisible Zeus, but their expressions, appearances and voices are also exactly the same. Both of them argue that they are the real Zhou Zhou.
Alvia remained indifferent: "Neither of you is the real Zhou Zhou."
Just after he said this, a large group of Zhou Zhou suddenly ran out from the corner.
Alvia: “…”
