Chapter 13: Village in the Rain (13)
Su Yue pondered expressionlessly, wondering why this cute-looking doll would behave like a fool from time to time. Was it a problem with the AI level or with the character of the original god Cang Zhi?
The puppet couldn't read the air, so if Su Yue didn't clearly express his emotions, he wouldn't understand.
Therefore, Cang Zhi didn't know about Su Yue's little thoughts. He asked, "Is this considered cheating on your feelings?"
Su Yue: "..."
Su Yue turned around and looked at Cang Zhi's face, which was very pleasing to his taste. He couldn't help but slapped his hands twice.
"This is a special method I took to win the game! I gave her a lot of dolls! And why would a four-year-old girl cheat on someone's feelings!" Su Yue said angrily, "If I'm going to cheat, it's going to be a handsome guy's feelings, okay?"
Cang Zhi had his face rubbed by him, and it was unclear whether he understood or not, but he nodded anyway.
Cang Zhi's eyebrows and eyes are actually very heroic, with thin sword-like eyebrows that are raised at the ends, making him look very handsome.
But because of his big eyes, when Su Yue rubbed his face and deformed it, that aura was gone, and instead he looked a bit like a small animal, which was quite cute.
After Su Yue finished complaining, he looked at Cang Zhi's face and was stunned for a moment.
Because he had never rubbed his ex-boyfriend like this.
I didn't expect that she could be so cute.
.
Zhou Hu, Zhao Shuo and the others had already consciously stayed away when Su Yue and Cang Zhi were flirting with each other. This was because Cang Zhi usually only had eyes for Su Yue, and when Su Yue spoke to Cang Zhi, she acted as if she couldn't see anyone else but him.
Whenever they are around at times like this, they feel like they are particularly in the way, and the light bulb above their heads is unusually bright.
And their attention is now more on the "hidden mission" that the black bird just mentioned.
"Does this mean that if the hidden mission is completed today, we can escape today?" Zhao Shuo asked.
"That should be the case." Zhou Hu nodded.
His eyes were red, probably because he was thinking about the teammates who had died in previous gaming experiences.
He cleared his throat sharply and said, "Maybe no more people will die."
Although leaving this game may still involve you in the next game and you may still face death, that will be a matter for next time.
At least here, everyone gets along well.
If one person can be saved, I will feel better.
"The problem now is solving the hidden mission," Zhao Shuo said. "How can we help?"
Zhou Hu glanced at Su Yue and Cang Zhi, who were standing on a hillside not far away. He looked at them and couldn't help but sigh: "I think we should just lie down and have some rest."
.
In the eyes of veteran player Zhou Hu, Su Yue and Cang Zhi are like people from heaven.
Not only are they very smart, but they are also good at fighting, good-looking, and can play around with NPCs. They are completely different from players like him who can only struggle to survive in the game world.
In the past, during breaks in the game, Zhou Hu tried to find out the truth about the game world. No one knew what was going on. They only knew that if they entered the game, they would most likely be dragged into the game until they died there.
He did hear some legends about top players in the rest area where players gathered. These players treated the game world, which ordinary people regarded as a quagmire, as a playground.
For example, there is a "Crazy Rider" who is said to be able to control all vehicles and horses. He once flew over the rooftop on a motorcycle while laughing wildly and directly smashed the boss into ashes.
For example, there's a Seeker who constantly asks everyone, "Have you seen my lost wife?" This was fine until one day, a boss ruthlessly confronted him. He then conjured a bunch of bugs from nowhere and devoured the boss to the bone.
There is also a [Big Winner] who is the most mysterious among all the top players.
No one knows what his trump card is. Legend has it that he is a handsome guy who looks like he has no fighting ability. All we know is that he wins every game beautifully and will try his best to rescue players in the same game.
The key point is that it is said that this person not only wins the game beautifully, but is also a happy person in love, so he is considered a winner in life.
There are also some top players that everyone avoids, such as a [Gambler].
Legend has it that every time he arrives in a world, he will make a bet with all the players to see who can clear the level first. Of course, if others cannot clear the level as fast as him, he will kill them.
The legend of the gambler survived because there was a lucky coward who accidentally triggered a hidden mission and escaped. He was scared to death when he escaped, and by that time, most of the others had been killed by the gambler.
All in all, if these top players didn't sound difficult to get along with, Zhou Hu would definitely think that Su Yue was one of these top players.
After realizing the gap between him and Su Yue and the others, Zhou Hu completely gave up.
.
But Zhao Shuo obviously did not agree with his theory.
"The boss is working so hard to get through the levels, using up both his brain and physical strength, and you actually want to just lie down. You're such a lazy person," Zhao Shuo said.
"Brother, I'm not trying to be lazy." Zhou Hu was a little anxious because he was misunderstood. "We can't help. We are a bunch of poor students in the same group with the top student. How can we expect to help the top student come up with any good ideas? It's good enough if we don't hold him back!"
"Bullshit! If you can't come up with an idea, can't you help the top student with page numbering and arranging homework?" Zhao Shuo retorted, "I can tell you've never been a poor student."
Zhou Hu was stunned for a moment. Not only Zhou Hu, but also the tourists who were listening were stunned.
"I'm an old poor student and I know very well how poor students survive in group assignments." Zhao Shuo proudly took out his mobile phone. Zhou Hu was surprised to find that his photo album was full of the contents of the three books that the high priest had just given them.
"The high priest forbids us to take out the book to read, but he didn't say that we can't take pictures of the book. Let's read it quickly. Any ideas we can get will be great." Zhao Shuo said.
"Then I'll go and pester the guide and ask her not to bother the boss and the others." Zhou Hu looked at Yima, who was walking towards them with a look of "Go and see the show quickly" written on her face, and said immediately.
.
After admiring Cangzhi's cute face, Su Yue and Cangzhi briefly sorted out their thoughts.
The hidden task is to "collect the ghost pattern puzzles and crack the formation of Qiyun Village."
The ghost pattern puzzle should be the thing in the paper doll's hand, but now it's missing the piece that the smaller paper doll is holding.
The small paper doll is not in the crystal coffin, and the clue to its location should be in those three books.
Perhaps the illusion they saw while watching the performance was also a clue, but the price of obtaining that clue was too high and it needed to be contaminated by witchcraft, so Su Yue decided to give up because the main line pointed to the High Priest's side.
Su Yue believes that the clues during the performance should overlap with the clues in the three books, and it is simply a supplement. Because this is a relatively simple game copy, it will not be too difficult for players.
"I just asked the little girl where the tiny paper doll went, but she wouldn't tell me, no matter how much I coaxed her." Su Yue tutted, "She's trying to get away with it, but she won't be fooled this time."
When Cang Zhi heard the word "tricked", he looked at him silently.
Su Yue: "..."
Su Yue said with a dull expression: "This doesn't mean to prove that I cheated on the girl."
The puppet Cangzhi didn't know whether he understood or not, but when Su Yue showed this expression, he had to obey.
So Cangzhi nodded obediently.
At this point, Su Yue suddenly felt a little strange. Normally, they had to go to the Drum Tower to watch the "performance" today. That was the key to turning them into paper figures, and it would not be paused because of the triggering of a hidden task. The guide Yima had been very anxious about this matter.
But today she still hasn't come to urge them to leave quickly.
Su Yue looked doubtfully at the direction where Yima had just been.
Then she was surprised to find that Zhou Hu was always engaging her in awkward conversation.
.
It was obvious that Yima was very angry about Zhou Hu's harassment, and she couldn't hold back the expression on her face. In broad daylight, she would suddenly turn into a grimace and then change back.
I don’t know how Zhou Hu, who is already afraid of NPCs, managed to force himself to chat with her.
Su Yue walked over quickly and stood in front of Zhou Hu calmly. He asked Yima, "Do you want to go to the show now?"
"Yes." When Yima heard the words 'watch a performance', her expression immediately relaxed. She no longer looked at Zhou Hu with a murderous expression. She turned to Su Yue and smiled, "Today, the villagers have also prepared a wonderful performance for our distinguished guests. Please enjoy the show."
Su Yue ignored her and glanced at Zhou Hu. Facing his concerned expression, he gave him a look that said "I know what's going on" and nodded, "Let's go."
——
You have to watch the performance every day. It is equivalent to a daily task in this game world, and it is a daily task that cannot be avoided.
Of course, it is a negative task that increases the mortality rate.
The performance took place on a pitch-black stage, where a group of villagers wearing strange makeup—Su Yue estimated that they were most likely paper dolls—danced and used witchcraft to influence the audience while dancing.
If you do not resist the witchcraft, the degree of paper figurine transformation will be slightly deepened by the end of the performance.
So after following Yima into the Drum Tower and sitting in the pitch-black auditorium, Su Yue naturally stimulated his Chihuahua-like earrings as he did yesterday.
-【Supervisor Z: What's wrong?】
Su Yue was just about to chat with Supervisor Z in a teasing tone as he did before, to distract his attention and relax.
Halfway through typing a sentence, my fingers suddenly stopped:
Last time, he withdrew the news about Supervisor Z without any explanation.
And there was no explanation afterwards.
Now he still hopes to ease the crisis on his side by having awkward conversations with others.
Su Yue: "..."
It's the ultimate disrespect.
No, he couldn't be a rude god.
But he couldn't remain silent. If he didn't, he'd be affected by the witchcraft. Su Yue wasn't a player, so he couldn't bring in potions that increased his mental strength like the players did. At this point, he could only rely on Supervisor Z.
Su Yue was in hesitation.
Ten seconds later, in the chat box.
-[Su Yue: Nothing much, I'm just a little worried about you, and wanted to ask if you're doing well today [Flower]]
.
This means that only by saying some soft words, easing the atmosphere, and praising people can Su Yue continue to chat with Supervisor Z with peace of mind.
What surprised Su Yue was that Supervisor Z reacted strongly.
-【Supervisor Z:……】
-【Supervisor Z: You, are worried about me?】
-【Supervisor Z: Do you know who I am? 】
Su Yue was stunned for a moment.
-[Su Yue: I don't know, but you're my partner, so it's normal for me to worry about you.]
-【Supervisor Z: ...Hmm.】
-【Supervisor Z: Thank you.】
Su Yue was a little surprised and thought to himself, this Supervisor Z is really picky.
In fact, it doesn’t matter who it is. He has no enemies in the God Realm anyway, so it’s not embarrassing to care about anyone.
