On the other side.
Huang He and Xiao Lan returned to the rest area.
Spider Woman Jin Wuwu was idly fiddling with an insect specimen in her hand while leaning over the front desk.
Beside the specimen, a large bunch of beautiful and fresh roses were in full bloom.
As soon as she entered, Xiao Lan, with her keen sense of smell, detected a strange odor.
It was like blood mixed with a little rotten flesh, and also with the fresh scent of grass and trees.
In short, the taste was very strange and made me want to vomit.
She covered her nose in disgust, and Huang He and she ignored Jin Wuwu as they went upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Jin Wuwu called out to them, stopping them in their tracks.
A hint of ambiguity flickered in his eyes. "I knew it! You two must be a couple. Holding hands, shoulder to shoulder, you look so intimate and loving."
As she spoke, she held out five roses and brought them closer.
"Sir, why don't you buy a few roses for this beautiful lady? Isn't this the perfect moment to express your love—with the gentle breeze and blooming flowers?"
As Jin Wuwu approached, the strange smell emanating from the roses wafted over once more.
The flavor is strong and intense, hitting right at your heart and lungs.
"Ugh, it stinks!" Xiao Lan covered her nose and backed away.
Although Huang He didn't express it verbally, he couldn't stand the smell either. He strode to the side, dodging the rose that reached out to him.
"You're so rude!" Jin Wu was furious. "These are the newest roses I've cultivated. I went to the rose garden early this morning to buy them!"
Having witnessed Jin Wuwu's change of expression in the morning, the two of them didn't care much, having already categorized her in their minds as an unimportant NPC.
Huang He casually reassured her, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jin. My girlfriend is allergic to flowers. She finds the smell of flowers offensive. That's why she acted so strangely just now. I'm sorry. And thank you for your kindness."
"Is that so?"
Jin Wuwu lowered her head, raised her eyes, and smiled sinisterly, "Fine, I forgive you."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the front desk, the rose in her hand becoming even more vibrant red.
Huang and Xiao went upstairs, but halfway up, they suddenly remembered something.
"Ah He, in my room..."
"What's wrong?"
"When I went in yesterday, there was a single rose in the vase. The rose didn't smell strange; in fact, it smelled very sweet."
If I were allergic to flowers, I would have taken them away long ago. There was even an Amman red flower used as decoration in my breakfast this morning… I didn't throw it away.”
Xiao Lan said uneasily, "Boss Jin must have discovered you were lying to her, but she didn't say anything! Do you think we might..."
Huang He interrupted her and comforted her, "From what I've observed, Jin Wuwu isn't an important NPC. We need to find Jin Xixi; he's the real boss."
Xiao Lan frowned: "But I have a bad feeling about this."
Huang He sighed softly, "Why don't we go to your room and see if the roses are still there?"
Third floor, room 309.
The roses on the bedside table are gone.
Xiao Lan strode over, bent down to look, and saw that the glass vase only had a few specks of charred color left, which seemed to be a little bit of ash left after burning.
If you look closely, you can still see a few remnants of rose petals.
"How could this happen?" Xiao Lan murmured.
Huang He was about to say something when his mind suddenly went blank.
[Ding! Welcome to the mini-game world – The Giant's Glove]
Yesterday at noon, Giant Tea was frying iron filings in the kitchen and burned his most beloved pair of gloves.
The heartbroken giant is resting in bed.
Please mend your gloves before Cha Bai Bai wakes up.
Only those who have repaired the gloves within the specified time may leave.
The giant was short-tempered; if he discovered the gloves were still damaged, unpredictable and terrifying things would happen.
[First round of the game begins, time limit 10 minutes]
Huang He and Xiao Lan held hands and walked toward the enormous glove, which resembled a tent.
Gloves.
There's only one...
