Chapter 5: Night of the Blood Moon (V)
The door was only ajar.
The bedroom was even darker than the hallway, as if there was some thick black fog hanging in the air, blocking all vision.
Nan Huan could only see that cold silver mask.
The butler stood close to the edge, his hands holding onto the door frame trembling slightly.
The originally empty and cold eyes became lively because of the pain.
In the blurred vision, Nan Huan tried hard to open his eyes and see more clearly, but he felt a strong wind hitting the back of his head.
She wanted to dodge, but her body seemed to be much slower.
Nan Huan thought of the person he hadn't found yet and shouted anxiously.
ah--
The next second, she sat up from the bed.
The pain in his body had not yet subsided, and Nan Huan couldn't control his grimace for a moment. When he looked around again, he found that he was back in the bedroom.
The scene just now was just a dream.
It was already bright in the sky at this moment. Some bright light came in through the gaps between the thick curtains, forming a beam of light at the end of the bed.
[Ding——Congratulations to the player for completing the "Stealing Midnight Snacks" mission and unlocking personal skills]
Maybe it was because he saw Nanhuan finally woke up, the belated reminder sound came, and he finally came back online after a night.
[Searching and generating the skills that best match the player...]
[Skills have been generated. Congratulations to player Nan Huan for binding the 'I am the eldest lady' skill.
The nobility and elegance flowing in your blood are unique and incomparable. Even monsters will compete to become your slaves when they smell your scent.
I am the eldest lady: This can only be used when the target's trust in you is greater than ten.
The points required to use skills will vary depending on the target and the other party's trust in you.
After using this skill, you can make the target become your ordinary servant/**/**/**/** for a period of time, and they will obey your orders.
However, if your command goes against the nature of the game, penetrates the NPC function, or exceeds the ability of the target, the command will be invalid. After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice!
More usage methods will be gradually unlocked as players explore.
Be brave and conquer, the monsters belong to you, the players belong to you, and perhaps unknown surprises also belong to you! 】
Nan Huan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
The skill explanation described by the system's mechanical voice sounded like some kind of middle school declaration.
Although she had never played games much in real life, she had made some basic attempts, especially in a game where one could die at any time, offensive skills would always be more advantageous.
At worst, being a nanny and having a healing skill would be good too.
I am the eldest lady.
This skill doesn't sound very serious.
It seems like I am deeply bound to the word "young lady". Even the skill blind box can give me this.
Also, don’t be fooled by the system explaining so much, it seems to make this skill sound very grand.
But Nan Huan quickly grasped the point.
There is a hard condition for using skills, which is that the target of the skill must have a trust level of more than ten.
If 100 is the full score, this number is indeed not high, but this is a game where fighting and death can happen at any time, and it also allows players to reasonably use the rules to harm others.
There is a potential competitive relationship among those who enter the dungeon together. In this case, trust seems to be a luxury.
Furthermore, the degree of freedom of this skill is actually very large.
After the conditions for using a skill are met, the points consumed for use are uncertain, and the effect after use is also uncertain.
However, from the last sentence the system said, Nan Huan could be sure that her skill seemed to have a wide range of effects.
Although he knew it was unlikely, Nan Huan still negotiated with the system in his mind.
Nanhuan: Can player skills be changed?
System: No, player skills are generated by the system based on player ability matching. Once generated, they cannot be changed.
What this means is that if Nan Huan is not satisfied with this skill, it is recommended that he look for the problem in himself.
Nan Huan was not surprised by this answer and ignored the system's sarcasm.
Instead, there is no psychological burden, and the other party can help you continue to answer your questions and resolve your doubts.
Nan Huan: In the prompts, what does the ** after the word "slave" mean? Could it be that some words are blocked by the system?
System: No, it’s just other titles. You haven’t unlocked them yet, so you can’t see them for the time being. But our game is also a green and safe game, and it does have a blocking function for some extreme words.
I understand. My skills are still an upgrade process.
【bite--
The player panel attributes have been updated, and a novice gift package with 100 points will be given for unlocking skill tasks.
In addition, as the player acquires skills, the title of "Miss" is automatically unlocked. 】
As if the system noticed that Nan Huan was not very interested in this skill, it added a sentence in time.
A virtual panel appeared in front of Nan Huan. In addition to the neatly listed physical data, the originally unlocked skills and mall had faded from their original gray color.
【Player name: Nan Huan
Title: Miss
Skill: I am the eldest lady
Current points: 100
Health: 0.1
Initial curiosity: 1
Charm value: 101
…
Mall: Unlocked
…….】
The completion of the skill mission made the props Liang Yu used on herself lose their effect, and her curiosity had returned to its original value.
Nan Huan tried to operate it. Unlike the control panel in the real game, which needs to be operated manually, Nan Huan can operate it with his own mind, which is quite convenient.
Finally, out of curiosity, she clicked into the unlocked mall and prepared to weigh the prices in the game.
As expected, I discovered that the points required to purchase the various life-saving items at the top of the list were at least 5,000, with no upper limit.
My 100 points are not enough at all.
It was the first time that Nan Huan had the thought that she was not just poor, which was very novel to her.
However, the items in the mall are surprisingly rich.
In addition to various high-end or useless props, they also sell some common things, such as flashlights, lighters, self-heating hot pots, etc. The points consumed are not high, but they have no effect on resisting attacks and rule damage.
In addition, Nanhuan did not ignore the line of small words at the bottom of the mall page.
[Tip: The prices of all items in the mall will fluctuate depending on the player's copy status.]
Wow, the system has figured out the relationship between supply and demand.
Players are pure suckers.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for unlocking the single player side mission 1:
Find out who you were scapegoating for last night, who were those thieves? What did you want to steal in the kitchen? 】
Just when Nan Huan had almost finished reading, the system prompt sounded again.
The prompts for unlocking skills and triggering single-line tasks should have been reported after Nanhuan completed the task last night.
But she fainted after completing the task last night, so the system had to wait until this morning, which seemed a little anxious.
Last night, Nan Huan guessed from the description of the skill task that he had become someone else's scapegoat.
Therefore, there is not much surprise in the triggering of this single-player side quest.
She was more interested in something else.
Nan Huan: How did I get back last night?
System: During the chef's indiscriminate attack, you used appropriate reasons to obtain the help of the butler and survived the pursuit.
Nan Huan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
For a system that answers every question, it actually avoided its own questions and deliberately blurred its own questions.
She knew very well that it was the legitimate reason of alcohol allergy that made her knock on the housekeeper's door.
If the reason I knocked on the door was for 'help', the axe that was stopping at the back of my head might have just come down and chopped me off.
That's why the system says 'proper reason'.
But it did not give a direct answer, saying that it was the butler who sent it back.
Why?
Is this behavior a violation? Or is there another reason?
Nan Huan recalled that when he opened the door last night, he noticed something unusual about the housekeeper, and the extremely cold hands he had in his last impression.
When she thought about these things, she did not avoid the system at all, but she did not question it directly.
A few seconds later, the reminder sounded again.
【bite--
The first night in the castle finally passed in chaos. A new day began. You finally recovered from the shock of last night. With your wounds all over your body, you prepared to go downstairs to check on the other people. 】
Oh.
Sure enough, without giving myself the chance to ask any more questions, he started to push for progress.
Nan Huan did not ask any more questions. After all, if the system could not answer directly, there was no point in asking again.
Besides, she still had to continue to pass the level, so it was not good to put too much pressure on the system.
This is strange and has no direct relationship to completing the game. Besides, there are already clues now, so there is no need to worry about not having other clues later. There is no need to rush at this moment.
When Nan Huan got out of bed, she found that the housekeeper not only prepared shoes for her, but also a Lolita-style beige skirt.
She took a quick shower and changed out of the nightgown she had been wearing.
I found out that the size of the skirt was surprisingly exact.
When Nan Huan was still standing at the stairs, he heard the cursing coming from the living room.
"Can't you be a little gentler..."
There was a hint of pain in Liang Yu's arrogant voice, but he stopped talking before he could finish his words because he looked up and saw Nan Huan.
The remaining few people also looked over because of his gaze.
Then the whole living room fell silent.
Xiaoxue was the first to react. She took two steps towards her with a look of obvious joy on her face.
"Ah..." She only shouted one syllable, and then she changed her words, not knowing what she thought of, "Miss, did you have anything to do last night?"
Regardless of whether the name the other party gave her was true or false, Xiaoxue still didn't want to reveal it in front of Liang Yu and the others.
Coupled with the beige Lolita dress she was wearing, it was as if Nan Huan had always lived in this castle, so she called her the "young lady" in the game setting.
Nan Huan understood her good intentions and did not mind how she addressed him.
"Nothing serious, just a little hurt. What are you doing here?"
Apart from the red rash caused by alcohol that had not yet completely disappeared, she had no wounds on her body. She just hadn't exercised for a long time, and suddenly ran so vigorously last night that she felt sore all over today.
But given that her skills are pretty useless, she doesn't want to stand out.
Especially when she went downstairs, she had already noticed the people in the living room. Except for the man with a crew cut whose name she didn't know yet, and Xiaoxue, the remaining three people didn't look well, and their clothes had signs of being torn.
Among them, Liang Xu's injury was the most serious. His entire palm had disappeared two inches below the wrist, leaving only a bloody and smooth wound that looked like a knife cut.
Although Nan Huan had been ill for a long time, her face was not pale, but rather rosy. She was slender but not skinny. Her family background was not wealthy, which gave her a kind of casual elegance that came from her bones.
Although the three boys present were somewhat surprised that Nan Huan was still alive, they were more attracted by his medieval attire.
Li Shuai was the first to react. He seemed to realize that it was impolite to stare at people like that, so he quickly retracted his gaze.
The man with a crew cut looked at Nan Huan with a more inquiring gaze, and he didn't feel he was being rude.
On the contrary, it was Liang Yu who was pushed by Bai Wei beside him before he reacted.
【bite--
It is detected that there is an object of action, and the trust in the player has reached ten. Whether to display the trust of everyone in the field of vision]
Nan Huan just caught a glimpse of Bai Wei's vigilant eyes when he saw her, and the reminder in his mind rang again.
show.
Nan Huan gave an order in her mind, and as soon as she finished her words, she immediately noticed a small red triangle sign appearing above the heads of several people present, with a number hanging next to it.
Xiaoxue 10, Li Shuai 11, Liang Yu -10, Bai Wei -11, buzz cut man 0
The numbers were crystal clear, but because they were displayed above real human heads, they felt an indescribable disconnect.
After looking at the numbers above the five people's heads, Nan Huan felt that although he didn't understand, he was greatly shocked.
After all, this set of data was so strange that Nan Huan felt it had no reference value at all.
She originally thought that it would be a bit difficult to reach a trust level of ten.
But Xiaoxue and Li Shuai's data seem to indicate that it is not that difficult.
[Please always remember that you are a new player with a charm value of 101, so it is easy for people to have blind trust in you. ]
The corners of Nan Huan's mouth twitched. Is the system sure that this is a compliment to itself?
Look at the trust ratings of Liang Yu and Bai Wei. Don't you feel soft-hearted when you say these things? Why is there a negative number in the trust rating?
She is not sure yet what the upper limit of trust is, but she is sure that the lower limit must be as low as possible.
[If your charm value wasn't 101, this score would probably be even lower. ]
The system added another sentence without fear of trouble.
