Chapter 10
Xiang Baimu scowled and calculated with despair how many apologies he had to write this time.
"Captain Xiang, the medical team has arrived. What should we do now?" the team member behind him reminded.
Xiang Bai then remembered that before he entered the ancient castle dungeon, he was afraid that all the novice players would suffer heavy casualties, so he specifically notified the dungeon medical team in advance to come together, thinking that as many people as possible would be saved.
But the situation on the scene...
Xiang Bai raised his eyes and glanced at the lively players. Finally, his gaze fell on Vivian, who had a limp in one leg, and pointed at her.
"Have the medical team carry her away to recover. As for her punishment for violating employee regulations, we'll decide after she recovers."
Team member: “Yes.”
Vivian was carried onto a stretcher by the medical team with a limp and an unwilling look on her face.
Before being carried out of the banquet hall, she turned back and glared at Jiang Lele without giving up.
This scene caught Xiang Bai's attention.
He looked Jiang Lele up and down. The girl was wearing the most ordinary dark sweatshirt and had long black hair that reached her shoulders. She looked inconspicuous.
Jiang Lele, who inexplicably felt that she was being stared at, turned around and met Xiang Bai's gaze.
Jiang Lele hesitated for a moment, "What's the matter?"
"……fine."
Xiang Bai retracted his gaze and looked at the other players. "Although this dungeon currently has a serious bug, you still have to go through the necessary procedures. You will need to stay in the dungeon for three days before you can successfully complete it. Please cooperate. During these three days, there will be no more dangers in the dungeon. Just treat it as a vacation and rest."
All the players breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does anyone have any questions?" Xiang Bai asked patiently.
Jiang Lele looked at Xiang Bai and asked, "Can you tell me more about the compensation you just mentioned for the players?"
Xiang Bai cleared his throat. "The players most severely affected by this dungeon bug are the novice players. In addition to the rewards for clearing rare-level dungeons, each novice player will receive an additional 2,000 points as compensation. As for the other veteran players, they should already be capable of completing dungeons at this level, so the additional compensation will only be 500 points."
This compensation mechanism is quite fair.
The veteran players had no objections. Seeing that no one else was saying anything, the newbies also remained silent.
"If there is nothing else, I will withdraw first and not disturb your rest." Then, Xiang Bai ordered the team members to prepare to pack up.
The female ghost who had been hiding silently in the corner raised her hand and said weakly, "Captain Xiang, can you take me out by the way?"
The ghost girl's voice sounded familiar, and Xiang Bai realized, "That's the complaint you called. It's perfect, you can join us in the dungeon later."
The female ghost felt relieved and politely said goodbye to Jiang Lele.
"Teacher Jiang, I'm leaving."
Jiang Lele waved his hand and gave his blessing: "Change your ways and be a good ghost."
Xiang Bai prepared to leave with his team members and the female ghost.
"Why is this female ghost so anxious to leave the dungeon? Her husband has been waiting outside to catch her in adultery. If she leaves, she will have no chance of survival."
After being reminded, Jiang Lele remembered: "Where is her lover? I don't think I've ever seen him."
"That water ghost is a bit more powerful than this female ghost. He found a chance to escape a long time ago. This is a rare-level dungeon, and the NPCs' attack power is more terrifying than each other. How could he dare to stay for long?"
Jiang Lele commented: "He is indeed a scumbag."
"?"
Xiang Bai paused, turned his head silently, and looked at Jiang Lele.
It turns out that the previous voice also came from this girl.
He quickly guessed that this situation should be the effect of supernatural powers.
but……
Xiang Bai glanced at the female ghost beside him with a gossipy look.
This female ghost actually cheated on her husband? And was abandoned by her lover?
At this moment, the female ghost who heard this conversation began to tremble with anger, and anger appeared on her face.
That shameless bastard Chen Chen actually abandoned her and ran away!
The female ghost who had always appeared weak now had a stronger aura, and her aura burning with anger was extremely powerful.
Xiang Bai was afraid of being affected, so he quietly distanced himself from her.
After the people from the dungeon monitoring department left, the players slowly relaxed their tense nerves in the messy banquet hall.
Chu Yue'er and Gu Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief and showed envious expressions to Jiang Lele at the same time.
"You new players are so lucky! The rewards for clearing a rare-level dungeon are already generous, and now you can get an additional 2,000 points as compensation."
Yu Cheng poked his head out from behind and asked curiously, "What can the points be used for?"
"Points are equivalent to the currency of this world. You can use them to buy some props, daily necessities, first aid kits, etc. in the grocery store." Chu Yue'er answered patiently.
Gu Ziyuan was still sighing, "The usual reward for clearing a rare-level dungeon is only a thousand points. Your two thousand points are enough to buy a lot of things."
The novice players looked delighted, it seemed that they had indeed turned a disaster into a blessing.
"Bang—"
There was a sudden noise behind him, and Jiang Lele turned around to look.
Jiang Hongyu seemed to have lost all his strength and suddenly sat down on the ground.
The novice players gathered around nervously, and Yu Cheng asked with concern, "Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Hongyu waved his hands slightly wearily, "It's okay, I'm just a little exhausted. I'm too tired."
Everyone recalled the scene where Jiang Hongyu had taken the lead and rushed forward, and offered sympathetic comfort:
"It's okay. There won't be any danger in the dungeon for the next three days. We can have a good rest."
For novice players who are not at this dungeon level, going through so many things for two consecutive days has almost drained their physical strength.
Chu Yue'er quickly organized: "I see everyone is tired, let's go back to the guest room and have a good night's rest first."
The players dispersed.
Yu Cheng and another novice player worked together to lift Jiang Hongyu and walked towards the guest room.
Jiang Lele followed everyone back to the guest room area.
It got dark quickly, and a crescent moon slowly climbed up the treetops, illuminating the spire of the castle.
In the guest room, Jiang Lele was curiously fiddling with the ghost girl's cell phone.
The phone has no password. After unlocking the screen, there are only three software apps installed on the phone desktop, one is a calling app, one is the Green Bubble Forum, and the other is the Reincarnation World Trading Center.
There's nothing much to know about calling software.
Jiang Lele clicked on the Green Bubble Forum, which was an old website interface with many newly published posts scrolling from top to bottom.
For example: "Shocking! Vivian, the boss of the rare dungeon, was beaten into the dungeon sanatorium by a player!"
"Let's talk about the violent player I met in the dungeon today."
"I oppose the employee code of conduct! Don't we NPCs have human rights?"
“…”
After studying for a long time, Jiang Lele discovered that this forum seemed to be an internal channel for the dungeon NPCs. It was probably logged in by the female ghost before.
Although the forum is currently mostly filled with dungeon bosses and NPCs chatting and bragging, Jiang Lele feels that there will definitely be a place for this forum in the future.
After closing the forum interface, Jiang Lele clicked on the last app, the Samsara World Trading Center.
The interface design style is quite novel, similar to a combination of real-world second-hand transactions and online shopping software.
The second-hand trading section allows players to conduct private transactions, including but not limited to props, daily necessities, and copy information.
Another online shopping section is the official flagship store of Samsara World, which sells some daily necessities for players.
I didn’t expect that the technology in this world has developed so conveniently.
Jiang Lele changed his lying position, put his right foot on top of his left foot, and kept swiping the screen with his hands.
"Go to hell!" An angry voice sounded from behind.
The pale ghost hand held a dagger that was flashing with cold light and stabbed it fiercely at Jiang Lele's neck.
Jiang Lele's eyes changed instantly, and he quickly jumped off the bed sideways. The sharp blade pierced through the pillow on the bed, and the exposed goose feathers were blown into the air by the air flow.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Lele summoned a mace and held it in her hand. She saw clearly the identity of the male ghost who attacked her. It was the male mistress who had been fooling around with the fake master before.
"I was shocked. This male mistress actually tried to sneak attack me!"
Even the little one who was resting was frightened out.
The male mistress raised the knife again with a dark face and rushed towards Jiang Lele.
With two clangs, Jiang Lele slammed the male mistress to the ground. She placed the mace at the male mistress's neck, bent down slightly, and looked at him coldly, "You? You want to assassinate me?"
The male mistress did not resist. He straightened his neck, closed his eyes, and revealed his resolute side. "Just kill me! Anyway, the master is dead, and there is no need for me to live anymore!"
"Don't mention it, this male mistress is also a romantic. After he knew that the fake master was killed, he had been hiding in the castle, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Vivian for revenge. But then too many accidents happened, and before he could do anything, the people from the copy supervision department came. Vivian was sent to a sanatorium, and he had no way to take revenge, so he could only deliberately assassinate you, and then pretend that he didn't succeed, hoping that you would kill him so that he could accompany the fake master to commit suicide." Xiaogua was a little surprised.
Jiang Lele has always been curious: "The dungeon NPCs are already ghosts, how can they die again?"
"Originally, ghosts can't die, they just turn to ashes. However, NPCs recruited into a dungeon have their bodies materialize. Besides retaining the killing power of ghosts, their other activities, such as eating, drinking, and defecating, are similar to humans. Furthermore, when they are recruited as NPCs, they are forced to commit suicide, and only others can kill them."
Jiang Lele retracted the mace and looked down at the male mistress. "You want me to kill you, so I have to kill you? How about I not kill you?"
The male mistress opened her eyes again, her eyes filled with determination to die, "If you are still a woman, kill me right now!"
Two minutes later, Jiang Lele tied up the male mistress, blindfolded him, and threw him into the corner of the room.
The male mistress squatting in the corner in humiliation: "...Kill me if you dare!"
Jiang Lele was too lazy to pay attention to him and lay back on the bed to sleep.
After a while, the male mistress roared: "Didn't you hear what I said? I asked you to kill me!"
Jiang Lele was annoyed by the noise and sat up from the bed with a sullen face.
"If you want me to kill you, that's fine. Just hand over anything valuable you have on you and let me see it."
