The old butler cleared his throat and continued, "For this joyous Easter, we've prepared an exciting and fun egg hunt for everyone. Find the special Easter egg within the allotted time and you'll receive a valuable reward."
"Fifty specially made colored eggs are hidden in the banquet hall and adjacent garden of the manor. The eggs are divided into three colors: gold, silver, and bronze. Gold eggs are the rarest, followed by silver eggs, and bronze eggs are relatively more common. The player who finds the most eggs within two hours wins and receives a points reward, which can be exchanged for items that will be beneficial for the nighttime games."
After the rules of the game were explained, the egg hunt game quickly began.
Although Yu Xiangnan felt that this egg hunt game and Easter were somewhat inexplicable, he still followed the other players and quickly began to search for Easter eggs.
Some players carefully examined the back of each tapestry, while others wandered under the dining table and between the chairs.
Yu Xiangnan noticed a huge armor ornament in the corner. He moved the armor aside and found a silver egg that was emitting a faint light behind it.
Without warning, a chill crept up her spine and down to her neck, and she instantly sensed an unfriendly presence behind her.
He quickly turned around and locked onto his target.
Another hundred wishes!
Bai Yuan casually toyed with a bronze egg in her left hand. The old bronze egg rolled in her palm and made a dull thud, while her right hand pressed down on the beret on her head.
She stared directly at him without any attempt to hide her gaze, as if trying to see right through Yu Xiangnan, which sent chills down one's spine.
Why--
Yu Xiangnan sighed.
What's going on? Is it sticking to you like a piece of chewing gum and refusing to let go?
Previously, thanks to the [Grim Reaper's Eye] she was wearing, she could clearly see Baiyuan and Jiangye's life points in the wine cellar.
This sight truly surprised her.
Bai Yuan was at a similar level to her, yet their health points were almost identical.
She remembered that Baiyuan's weapon was a dagger, and judging from the equipment alone, he should belong to a high-burst, high-damage class. Normally, this type of class would sacrifice some survivability in order to pursue instant output, and their health points would usually not be very high.
But Baiyuan's extremely high health is truly hard to understand.
Taking herself as an example, besides that seemingly insignificant little broken shovel, she does indeed have a four-star dagger.
In actual use, this dagger always felt a bit lacking, and the rhythm of the attack was difficult to control.
She had long since grown accustomed to the comfortable weight of the small, worn-out shovel and the smooth feel of swinging it. In the ever-changing battlefield, crucial decisions often hinge on mere seconds. If one fumbles around trying to switch weapons, not only might they miss the optimal attack opportunity, but they are also highly likely to expose weaknesses due to distraction, resulting in unnecessary loss of health.
So, after weighing the options, she decided to use the small, broken shovel instead, leaving the dagger to gather dust in the card album.
"Vicious Curse" + "Indestructible" makes it practically immortal, so there's no need to worry about other players taking it away.
Could Baiyuan's dagger also have special functions?
However, judging an opponent's skills by their weapon is the most direct and straightforward method, but it is also easy to be deceived by illusions.
Time passed slowly, and the players returned to the banquet hall one after another with the Easter eggs they had found. The old butler and the maids carefully counted each player's spoils.
Just as Yu Xiangnan was about to take the found Easter eggs back to the banquet hall to have the old butler and the others count them, Bai Yuan, who had been spying on her, finally took action and blocked her way.
Yu Xiangnan: "???"
What's going on? Robbery?
Back in the wine cellar, she was the target. If Bai Yuan hit her, she would score points, and Jiang Ye posed no threat to her at all. The reason she avoided the fight was simply because she didn't want Bai Yuan to succeed.
She's always ready to fight.
Yu Xiangnan frantically racked his brains for a solution. Just then, Bai Yuan suddenly spoke up, his face fierce and his tone full of reluctance: "Yu Xiangnan, I'll make a deal with you."
Yu Xiangnan looked puzzled, as if a big question mark had appeared above his head.
"don't want."
Without even thinking, she refused outright.
"At least let me finish what I have to say!" Faced with Yu Xiangnan's straightforward refusal, Bai Yuan did not intend to give up and insisted through gritted teeth, "The terms of the deal are very simple. There is a rule in the nightly mini-game that players can change their target by spending 6 points. I will talk to that NPC and change the target to someone else, and he will not attack you for the next few days."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangnan nearly choked on his own saliva and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Bai Yuan: "..."
She raised her hand and pressed it tightly against the beret on her head.
After a long while, she spoke again: "If I do this, you have to promise... promise you will never tell anyone that I've lost my hair. Let's make an equal agreement."
“At the time, outside the initial room, my skill detected your presence. You were very close, so you must have seen me. The other player, who was my first target, has already been silenced by me. As for Jiang Ye, I have also reached a deal with her.”
Yu Xiangnan was completely dumbfounded, as if a series of question marks were above his head.
Is that all?
Her face was full of disbelief, and she asked again, "Really?"
“Absolutely true! If I attack you, you can say whatever you want. But if you dare to break our promise, I swear I'll chase you to the ends of the earth for the rest of my life!” Bai Yuan said fiercely.
Yu Xiangnan was both amused and exasperated, muttering, "No, what good would it do me to tell anyone about your balding hair...?"
Bai Yuan's face flushed bright red, like a ripe tomato. She hurriedly interrupted Yu Xiangnan, emphasizing, "I'm not balding, it's just that there was a little accident, and my hair..."
Realizing that her voice was a bit loud, Bai Yuan immediately shut up.
"In short, think it over carefully. Wouldn't it be better to have one less enemy?"
Yu Xiangnan's lips curled up slightly, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes. She crossed her arms and slowly said, "The conditions you've offered won't sway me. An equal agreement isn't something that can be easily drawn up. The bargaining chips you've given are too weak."
Bai Yuan frowned, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but he had to suppress it, since Yu Xiangnan had leverage over him.
"Then what else do you want? I've already promised not to attack you, and I even spent points to change targets. Aren't those conditions enough?"
Yu Xiangnan casually held up one finger and waved it: "Not enough. Aren't we going to exchange for items later? Exchange two more items for me, and I'll choose them, how about that?"
Bai Yuan couldn't help but shout, "Do you think I'm your free ATM?"
Yu Xiangnan shrugged, looking indifferent: "Whatever."
