Chapter 6
"No more talking, that male mistress is here to lead you through the plot."
Jiang Lele looked up and looked forward.
The male waiter who delivered the food this morning was walking slowly towards us.
"Everyone, it's almost time for lunch. The kitchen is already preparing a delicious meal for everyone. Please go to the castle restaurant."
The scattered sunlight sprinkled on the silver hair of the male mistress. He glanced at the players casually, and when he saw Jiang Lele, his face instantly darkened like ink.
He delivered food in the morning and was first criticized by Jiang Lele. Later, when he was about to take action, he was inexplicably knocked unconscious.
After waking up, he wanted to go to his master to be affectionate and seek comfort.
As a result, the two of them were interrupted by the housekeeper who came and knocked on the door just as they started.
It must be this unlucky woman who caused all the bad luck he had today!
The male waiter had a cold face and stared at Jiang Lele, "This guest looks familiar."
"Me?" Jiang Lele pointed at himself and then admitted, "It was indeed me who knocked you out this morning."
Hearing her admit her crime so straightforwardly, the male mistress's face darkened even more. "As a thank you, I will prepare a delicious meal for you and your companions today."
Jiang Lele finally felt a chill, "Oh my god, what does he want to do to me?"
"It's okay, he's just an ordinary NPC. It won't cause any trouble."
The male mistress turned around with a cold look in her eyes, and there was a hint of danger in her voice, "Dear guests, please follow me. I will take you to the restaurant."
Jiang Lele and other players followed the waiter to the castle restaurant.
A four-meter-long dining table was placed in the center of the restaurant's lobby. On both sides of the table were clean and elegant plates, cutlery, and crystal goblets.
"Everyone, please wait here for a moment. I am going to go and receive other guests who have just arrived at the castle." The male waiter has adjusted his mood, and his standard smile is back on his face as he speaks to everyone.
Jiang Hongyu frowned cautiously and asked, "Besides us, are there any other guests in the castle?"
The male mistress smiled deeply, "Of course."
After answering, he turned and left gracefully.
Jiang Lele glanced at Jiang Hongyu curiously, "Does this mean there are other players like us in this dungeon?"
Jiang Hongyu's face was solemn. "That's probably the case. Normally, only one group of players would enter a dungeon at a time. But sometimes, due to system bugs, several groups of players might enter the dungeon at the same time. Players call this a joint dungeon."
Hearing this, Jiang Lele silently complained in his heart: "Isn't it time to update the patch for this dungeon? Why are there bugs every day?"
Xiaogua: "You know what, this dungeon system has been bugging more and more frequently lately."
Jiang Hongyu continued to explain, "There are more players in a joint dungeon, so the difficulty of this dungeon mechanic will be significantly increased accordingly. Furthermore, it's easy for players to clash over survival or to compete for rare items. Everyone must be extremely careful when the next group of players arrives."
The other players took this to heart and even sat more straight.
"Eh? Why are there still a group of players here?" A nonchalant voice sounded, interrupting the conversation between Xiaogua and Jiang Lele.
Jiang Lele raised his head and glanced in the direction of the restaurant entrance.
I saw a man and a woman each leading a team of players into the restaurant.
"What kind of shit luck do I have today that I actually ran into a joint copy." Gu Ziyuan walked to the dining table with a smile on his face, pulled up a chair and sat down.
He happened to be sitting opposite Jiang Lele.
However, he did not notice Jiang Lele, who had a very low presence at this time.
The other woman had long, smooth black hair, a calm face, and the temperament of an icy beauty.
Chu Yue'er glanced at Gu Ziyuan and said indifferently, "The difficulty of each mechanism in the joint dungeon will be forcibly increased. You should think about how to save your life first."
It seems that Gu Ziyuan and Chu Yue'er know each other.
Jiang Hongyu took the initiative to greet Gu Ziyuan and the other two, "You two should be old players, right?"
Gu Ziyuan asked hesitantly: "Yes, but you asked this question. Is there a novice player in this dungeon?"
All veteran players know that only players who have participated in hundreds of dungeons are eligible to enter rare-level dungeons.
Jiang Hongyu smiled awkwardly. "Well...something went wrong with the dungeon system, and it dragged me and a group of new players into this dungeon. Aside from me, who has participated in difficult dungeons thirty times, this is the first time for everyone else in our team."
“…”
Silence fell over the entire restaurant.
Chu Yueer frowned and cursed, "Why are there more and more bugs in this dungeon? Forcing a group of newcomers to participate in a rare-level dungeon is like asking for their lives!"
Normal-level copies already have casualty issues, not to mention that above them, there are difficult-level copies, and then rare-level copies.
This is almost a jump of three levels.
Gu Ziyuan also looked incredulous. "This is a bit excessive. A complete newcomer participating in this kind of dungeon would have a hard time even surviving, let alone completing the dungeon's storyline missions. After the dungeon is over, I must file a complaint with the dungeon monitoring department."
"That's right, the dungeon system has been really weird lately, with a bunch of bugs popping up every day!" Xiaogua also complained.
This inexplicable sound attracted the attention of Gu Ziyuan and Chu Yueer.
Both of them frowned and looked at Jiang Lele, because the sound seemed to come from her.
"Host, host! Things are getting exciting. The real master Luguna seems to have suddenly regained his memory and is gathering his former subordinates to prepare for revenge!" Xiaogua suddenly became excited.
Jiang Lele was also shocked and asked, "Is this true? How did he suddenly recover his memory?"
"Really? He's already gathered quite a few people. He said he's going to have his men disguise themselves as waiters at the castle and sneak into tonight's ball. As soon as Vivian and that fake master show up, he'll take action."
Jiang Lele was completely immersed in the gossip and didn't notice that everyone around her was looking at her.
The group of old players who had just entered the restaurant all opened their mouths slightly, as if they wanted to say something, but the amount of information was too great and they couldn't utter a word.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, they seemed to hear some voices in their heads, but they were never sure whether it was an illusion.
It was not until now that they finally realized that Jiang Lele was actually communicating with a system.
And they happened to hear the conversation between the two.
Gu Ziyuan and Chu Yue'er, the two sworn enemies, showed surprised expressions at the same time, wondering why they could hear the conversation between Jiang Lele and the system.
Jiang Hongyu and the new players, who had long been accustomed to it, looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Miss..." Gu Ziyuan took the initiative to greet Jiang Lele: "What's your name?"
Jiang Lele came back to her senses and was stunned for a moment, "Hello, I'm Jiang Lele."
Chu Yue'er also shook hands with Jiang Lele and introduced herself: "I am Chu Yue'er. I have participated in 109 difficult dungeons and 8 rare dungeons so far."
Gu Ziyuan spoke without showing any weakness:
"Just call me Ziyuan. I've participated in 137 difficult dungeons and five rare dungeons."
When veteran players introduce themselves, they usually list the number of highest-level dungeons they've participated in. This data can clearly show a player's strength and save a lot of communication trouble.
Jiang Lele added calmly: "This is my first time participating in a dungeon, please bear with me."
A solemn look flashed across Gu Ziyuan and Chu Yueer's eyes.
The two are veteran players, so they naturally know that a small number of players are lucky enough to awaken their special powers.
It seems that this player named Jiang Lele is very lucky. The first time he entered the dungeon, he awakened the ability to eat melons that can be heard by others.
At this time, the male mistress entered the restaurant with a group of waiters in uniform.
"The kitchen has prepared the meal. Please enjoy your wonderful lunch."
At this point, the male mistress raised a creepy smile, "By the way, I specially brought a bottle of red wine from Madam Vivian's latest collection, you can try it."
He came to the table with a bottle of fine red wine and poured wine for everyone.
As the bright red liquid flowed into the crystal goblet, a strong smell of blood gradually filled the air.
The pungent and disgusting smell made the players frown collectively.
