Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Looking at the stiffness in front of him...
Looking at the two people standing there motionless, Wen Qian urged, "What are you standing there for? Put it on your head quickly."
The two were unwilling to accept this tragic fact, but there was nowhere to escape.
Wen Qian was staring at them - and the books in their hands, and seemed to want to take action himself.
For the sake of his remaining image, Lin Huai took a deep breath and said firmly, "Forget it. I think I can do without it. I won't feel dizzy."
…
Lin Huai, who felt dizzy from reading and almost vomited, finally put the book on his head in silence.
"How do you feel?" Zhou Zhu, who was holding a book on his head, looked at Lin Huai, who was also holding a book on his head, and asked curiously.
"Do you feel better?" she asked with a slight sigh. "I don't know if it's just my mind, but I really don't feel dizzy anymore."
Lin Huai remained silent. He was indeed no longer dizzy, but he would not admit it.
"Come to think of it, how come this book doesn't fall down when it's on my head?" Zhou Zhu turned around, and the book on his head didn't show any signs of shaking.
"Of course, the head accessory is automatically attached," Wen Qian explained. "Don't worry, it won't fall off!"
This is the mysterious power that comes from knowledge!
"It seems that you are more patient than I thought." The librarian's voice sounded beside the three of them.
The administrator who had just been sitting on the chair suddenly appeared after they put the last book back to its original shelf.
Appeared like a ghost.
"You've done well. I'm willing to give you the clue to the treasure." He nodded slowly and looked at Wen Qian. "This matter has been buried in my memory for a long time..."
Having sensed that this NPC was about to start another long speech, the player chose to automatically block him.
Rather than listening to him ramble on about these useless background stories, it is more important to claim the reward first.
[Side Quest - Librarian's Request (Completed)
Reward: Clue x 1 (please find the corresponding NPC to claim), Experience Points +200]
Apart from anything else, this mission gives you a lot of experience.
Wen Qian glanced at his character panel. After receiving the reward, his experience points jumped significantly.
If this dungeon has similar high-experience point tasks later, maybe she can reach the next level.
"...Follow me." The administrator said the last line and turned to walk towards the back stairs.
Wen Qian came to his senses and followed.
As she walked towards the stairs, she casually asked, "What did he just say?"
"Didn't you listen?" Zhou Zhu asked in surprise. She thought for a moment and said, "He said a lot. He started by talking about the history of the bell tower and then talked about the treasure."
"But he didn't explain it clearly, being evasive. He just said that this treasure is extremely valuable."
Zhou Zhu didn't quite believe it.
"Is that so?" Wen Qian nodded and said bluntly, "That sounds ridiculous.
Lin Huai: "...So you knew that too."
He was really a little afraid of Wen Qianxin.
Their president, an extremely unpredictable man.
While being good at fooling others, one can also be easily fooled.
It's hard to imagine how she developed this kind of personality.
"What he said is indeed nonsense, but the treasure does exist." Wen Qian waved his hand, "So we just need to focus on the result, the rest is not important."
What she said was a bit exaggerated. Of course, she was not referring to the treasure - this was a system task, it must exist. She was referring to the NPC's words that it was very, very precious.
That's probably an exaggeration. No matter how generous the reward is, it can't be as good as the NPC said.
Do you still want game balance?
At most, he would give some special props or something like that. Wen Qian was guessing in his heart what he would gain this time.
Several people followed the librarian and walked up the spiral staircase to the top floor of the clock tower.
This place is not open to the public. Zhou Zhu, the only person who has been to the bell tower, just shook her head slightly when she received questioning looks from the people around her - she had never been here either, so she was not very clear about it.
"The treasure is located in the attic." The NPC looked at Wen Qian with a deep tone.
Wen Qian paused. "So this is the complicated clue you've been thinking about for half an hour?"
What historical clues? She could find the attic just by looking at a map.
The NPC acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued, "But the stairs leading to the attic broke down a week ago. It seems you won't be able to find the treasure."
"Get to the point."
"Ivy is a very tough plant. Perhaps you could collect some and twist it into rope to repair the broken stairs."
[Side Quest - Ladder
Please bring the rope to the administrator to repair the ladder
Reward: Experience +200, Rope +3]
The player who received the task turned around and left, not forgetting to take his two confused members with him.
"Ivy?" Zhou Zhu repeated blankly, "...So are we going outside to cut the ivy now?"
She really suspected that she might be dreaming.
"You're only doubting it now?" Lin Huai said expressionlessly, "When I walked into the bell tower and heard what they said, I felt that I wasn't quite sober anymore."
Even if it was a dream, this was the strangest dream he had had recently.
"What are you talking about in your sleep? Come over and help me." Wen Qian looked at the two guys who were slacking off and sighed.
Fortunately, she is the president, otherwise these two people might not even be able to pass the first level.
Wen Qian suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier.
Looking at Wen Qian pulling the hemp rope that was pressed under the broom, Lin Huai and Zhou Zhu were stunned for a moment and hurried forward to help.
"Didn't he tell us to find some ivy to make ropes?" Zhou Zhu tidied up the rope that Wen Qian had pulled out.
"Why make your own rope when you already have it?" the player said confidently. "The quest doesn't say it has to be a creeper rope."
Lin Huai was more curious about another thing: "When did you see this rope?"
The rope was behind the administrator's desk, stuck in a blind spot. He didn't notice the rope at all when he was listening to the administrator speak.
“Because it’s very conspicuous.”
She looked at the rope prop in front of her that was emitting golden light and had the word "rope" floating on it, and nodded heavily.
“It’s very conspicuous.”
This is why she didn't go to find Ivy, but went straight to the administrator's desk.
The appearance of such items that are obviously props in dungeon missions must mean that they can be used. Even if they cannot be used now, they will definitely be used later.
Get it first and talk about it later.
Wen Qian returned to the bottom of the attic with a rope and found the administrator who was still there.
"The books here are very profound... Oh, it's you. Have you made the rope yet?"
The moment the administrator said the set lines, Wen Qian quickly clicked the option to submit the task.
The NPC's expression changed immediately. He walked to the attic entrance with a rope and repaired the ladder with the rope with a clang.
Looking at the person in front of him repairing something, Lin Huai slowly fell silent.
Putting aside the unusual thing of using a rope to repair a ladder, how did he manage to come up with this posture of using both a hammer and an axe?
What are those inexplicably floating clouds of dust? Is there so much ash here?!
"It turns out that a broken ladder can be fixed with a rope." Zhou Zhu showed a look of sudden enlightenment. "I didn't know that before, now I know!"
Lin Huai: "Wait, don't learn it yet."
"Okay." The administrator set up the ladder and placed it at the only entrance to the attic.
"Hurry up and go up. Whether you can find the treasure in the attic depends on your fate with the treasure." He smiled slightly, turned around and left without waiting for anyone to speak.
This time, Lin Huai and Zhou Zhu were even faster than Wen Qian. They walked quickly to the ladder and looked up and down at the ladder that had just been repaired.
A very perfect restoration, so perfect that there is no trace of any repair.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Huai would probably admire this man's craftsmanship, but when he thought about the tool he used for repairs was a rope he had just dug out from under his desk...
Lin Huai suddenly felt like he had a headache again.
"Obviously, this is because his repair skills are very superb!" Wen Qian said firmly.
"Is that so!" Zhou Zhu asked in surprise.
Lin Huai: ...Wait, don’t believe it yet.
The ladder was indeed very sturdy. When several people climbed up to the attic using the ladder, the ladder did not even shake.
The attic was a bit dark and the view was not good. Lin Huai frowned and said, "Be careful, there are a lot of debris here."
Zhou Zhu carefully avoided several stacked cardboard boxes and looked at Wen Qian: "Where should we start looking?"
"According to what the administrator just said, this treasure should be hidden somewhere rather hidden, right? Why don't we start by looking inside the box?"
She looked at the pile of cardboard boxes beside her and felt that the next search would probably be difficult.
After all, there are too many things in the attic and it is very messy.
"No need to look for it." Wen Qian, who valued the treasure the most, shook his head.
As soon as these words came out, the other two looked at her with a hint of surprise.
"What's wrong? Don't you want it anymore?"
"How is that possible!" Hearing this, Wen Qian was even more surprised than them.
"Then why do you say there's no need to look for it?"
“Because there’s no need to look for it!”
Wen Qian raised his hand and pointed to a large box five steps away from them.
"Isn't it right here? What are you looking for?"
In the middle of the pile of junk, a treasure chest that looked very stereotypical, like the one that would appear in various pirate movies, was squatting there quietly.
Both of them: ...
So this is the legendary treasure that is hidden very secretly and can only be found by the right person?
The requirements for this treasure are quite low, and anyone with eyes is destined to find it.
"Don't just stand there, come and take a look!" Xiao Wen took the lead and walked towards the treasure chest with an excited expression.
After all, this is the first club mission, the reward of this treasure chest must be extraordinary!
Opening the lid of the treasure chest, Wen Qian took out a note from it. There was only one note inside.
She had a vague feeling that something was not right. Would she have to embark on another treasure hunt?
——On the surface, you have found the treasure, but in fact you have only found a treasure map leading to the next treasure.
With this doubt in mind, Wen Qian opened the folded paper.
[Congratulations on your successful arrival here. Yes, you have already obtained the true treasure. All the experiences along the way will serve as your reward...]
The other two people who came over to take a look: "..."
They looked cautiously at Wen Qian, who seemed to be immersed in this conversation.
"Wen Qian, are you okay?"
Xiao Wen had a blank expression on his face and took out a pen from his pocket.
He raised his hand and crossed out "the experience of walking".
Several large ink blobs appeared on the paper. Xiao Wen held up the freshly-minted treasure and looked excitedly at the two people beside him.
"Great, we can move everything back here!"
