Everyone was woken up by the rapid knocking on the door. They had too many things on their minds and their sleep was very light. The person at the door kept knocking, and the sound made their hearts beat fast.
"Who is it? You want to kill me so early in the morning?" Li Weiyan got up and got angry. He picked up his pillow and threw it at the door.
The light pillow made almost no sound when it fell on the door, and did not affect the people outside at all.
“Dongdongdongdong——”
“So annoying!”
"oops--"
“Tsk…”
Everyone woke up one after another, all of them were enraged.
Lan Shuang opened her eyes, frowned, sat up, grabbed a handful of hair, and got out of bed. Careful not to step on the five big men on the ground, she walked along the wall to the door and opened it.
The person at the door was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Sixth Miss violated the house rules again last night and needs to reflect on her mistakes. Madam has ordered that Sixth Miss stay in the small dark room for a day, and no one is allowed to bring her food."
After the butler finished speaking proudly, the servants rushed forward, grabbed Lan Shuang's arms and pulled her out.
The people who were still a little confused suddenly woke up, and the five men on the ground climbed up. Jiang Lusheng and Li Weiyan were the first to reach out, "Let her go!"
The housekeeper snorted, "This is the Madam's order. Do you dare to disobey? Anyone who dares to make a move will go to the small dark room with her!"
Li Weiyan gritted his teeth and said, "Just go in, it's not the first time anyway!"
Jiang Lusheng was calmer than him. He looked at Lan Shuang, who shook her head at them. "Don't worry about me. It's just a small dark room. It's no big deal. You stay here and take care of yourselves."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the housekeeper. She didn't show any panic at all, and raised her chin slightly. "Can you let me go to the small dark room? Let me change my clothes first?"
The housekeeper frowned: "What clothes do you want to change into?"
"I'm happy to. It's already great that I go to the small dark room with you. Stop the nonsense."
After saying that, she broke free from the servant's hand and slammed the door shut.
housekeeper:"……"
Li Weiyan asked anxiously, "Are you really going to the small dark room? It's too dangerous for you to go alone!"
Lan Shuang nodded: "Don't underestimate me, I'm fine, this is a part of the plot, I have to go so that things can continue to develop. None of you go with me, it's more dangerous outside. If you all follow me in, what will you do if you get into trouble?"
Li Weiyan was stunned by the question, turned around to look at the other girls on the bed, and fell silent.
Jiang Lusheng understood Lan Shuang's meaning and didn't say anything against it. He just touched her hair and said, "Be careful."
"I'll leave them to you." Lan Shuang held Jiang Lusheng's hand and squeezed it. The two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
…
Lan Shuang went into the bathroom, changed into grey casual clothes, and opened the door. The housekeeper and servants were still there, and they all had sour faces when they saw her come out.
Lan Shuang didn't even spare them a glance, and walked towards the small dark room on her own initiative. When she reached the door, she glanced at the housekeeper with disdain, "So slow? Hurry up and open the door."
housekeeper:"……"
What an arrogant request!
He glared at Lan Shuang fiercely, took out the key from his collar and inserted it into the keyhole with force. With a "click", the door opened. The butler's expression eased a little, and he raised his chin and was about to say a few harsh words, but Lan Shuang went straight in and closed the door.
housekeeper:"……"
It’s so infuriating!
Behind the door was a completely dark world. Lan Shuang raised an eyebrow, "It turns out that the darkness in the small dark room is really dark, and it lives up to its name."
888 trembled: "Host, why aren't you afraid at all?"
Lan Shuang: "Well, I'm afraid of sudden attacks, not the dark."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sudden chill on her back, as if someone had blown a breath of cold air on her neck.
Lan Shuang: “…”
You came as you said. You are quite obedient.
"Hahaha—another one?"
Lan Shuang listened to the voice and slowly turned around.
…
At the same time, Jiang Lusheng and others went back to their rooms to wash up and then went to the living room downstairs.
Pei Jinzhi looked at the clock in the corner and suddenly asked, "If Lan Shuang is locked up in the small dark room, will she not be able to participate in the morning test? Will that be considered a violation of the rules?"
Everyone was stunned when these words were spoken.
"Yes, didn't Rose say before that we must be seated at the dining table at nine o'clock? Lan Shuang definitely can't come in her current condition."
Li Weiyan also reacted.
"What should we do then?"
Liu Quan looked at Jiang Lusheng, who looked up and called out, "Rose, is Lan Shuang's situation considered a violation?"
Rose smiled and said, "It doesn't count. In the original plot, Miss Six was also punished today, so player Lan Shuang didn't violate the rules without reason. However, she really can't participate in today's quiz, so one thousand points will be deducted in advance."
"one thousand?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Gao Yaozu couldn't help but mutter, "Why don't you just go and grab it?"
The others didn't say anything, but their eyes showed the same emotion.
Rose said regretfully, "There's nothing we can do about this, but as long as she's here tomorrow, we can answer the questions. If we answer correctly, we'll get 10,000 points. So, if you think about it this way, these 1,000 points aren't a big deal, right?"
"Ten thousand points, can you really afford it?"
Liu Quan was deeply skeptical. It was said before that points could be exchanged for real-world money. Ten thousand points could be multiplied a hundredfold, which was one million. At this rate, by the seventh day, it would have become a huge number. Could this weird game really afford it?
"Haha, you've got one thing wrong. The points don't increase every day. The number of points you earn depends on the difficulty of the questions you ask that day. The more points you earn, the harder the questions will be. Conversely, the harder the questions will be, so don't worry."
Rose's laughter was cold, "As for the rest, we'll think about it after we survive."
Liu Quan: “…”
Wen Qingqing hugged the bear backpack tightly in fear. "What should I do? Will today's problem be even more difficult?"
"Besides this, is there nothing else that points can do?" Pei Jinzhi narrowed his eyes. "If we die here, the points won't be of any use. So no matter how you look at it, we're the ones at a disadvantage, right?"
Everyone was startled and waited for Rose's answer with bated breath.
After a moment of silence, Rose laughed again: "Hahahaha - you are also a smart player. Now let me announce the new rules for today."
Jiang Lusheng narrowed his eyes and an ambiguous smile appeared on his lips.
"You're the first group of players to make it to the fourth day without suffering any casualties. The gaming experience is truly terrible," Rose said regretfully. "So I decided to make this game a little more interesting."
"The new rules are as follows. The points you earn can be exchanged for corresponding health points. If your health points reach zero, you will be considered dead. If you don't have enough points, you can plunder from others."
"Plunder?" Li Weiyan's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
