Flesh and blood, corpses, and golden sunflowers in full bloom.
The contrast is extreme.
It was both shocking and chilling.
Fortunately, the story of this instance doesn't make much sense.
Su Deng dodged the tentacles that attacked after sensing her presence, and before Lu Sinian could catch up, she used all her speed to reach her wife's side, took out the painting, and held it up to "her" flowers.
"Three sunflowers."
The stabbing tentacles stopped in mid-air.
"Brother Zhen..."
She is now a sunflower, with a soul attached to it and she has gained consciousness, but it seems that she can only say these few words.
Her leaves trembled slightly when they touched the painting, and her sobs were low and sorrowful.
It was mixed with pain.
[Ding—Congratulations to player Su Deng for becoming the first player to complete Task 1, earning 100 individual competition points, 1 divine material, and +20 HP (rewards will be issued instantly).]
Task 2 has been triggered: Find one golden sunflower among ten thousand sunflowers.
The announcement suddenly rang out.
...That means we've succeeded!
Her health returned to around thirty, her wife's root tentacles stopped attacking her, and the painting vanished into thin air.
"Hold!"
Lu Sinian arrived too late and couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Su Deng turned her head to look at him, her lips slightly curved. Her slender, pale, clean fingers landed on a golden sunflower next to her, pinching the green stem under the flower with two fingers and breaking it off forcefully.
[Ding—Congratulations to player Su Deng for becoming the first player to complete Task 2, earning 300 individual competition points, 1 divine material, and +20 HP (rewards will be issued instantly).]
Task 3 has been triggered. Please unravel the secret of the sunflowers in the manor.
Lu Sinian's expression darkened slightly.
With his health points restored to a safe level, Su Deng's expression and spirits improved considerably. Under Lu Sinian's gloomy gaze, the corners of his mouth curved into a deeper smile as he slowly spoke.
"The secret is that all these sunflowers were grown using living human bodies, and hidden inside them are the manor owner's extreme love and heavy sins."
[Ding—Congratulations to player Su Deng for becoming the first player to complete Mission 3, earning 600 individual competition points, 1 divine material, and +20 HP (rewards will be issued instantly)]
[Ding—Player Su Deng has become the first player to trigger Quest Four. Details are as follows—…]
Task 4 can only be triggered after the first three tasks have been completed.
Therefore, only Su Deng received the details of Task Four.
Players who haven't triggered the event will only hear the above content.
They listened as Su Deng announced the completion of his mission in three consecutive broadcasts.
...Three in a row?
What is this?
Everyone froze, their faces filled with astonishment.
If it were the first task, Su Deng would want to complete it first.
But the second and third times, in front of Lu Sinian, her bright face, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and the way she raised her hands and feet, all carried a provocative air.
Lu Sinian's face darkened.
Even the players in the C-rank otherworld who weren't watching the live stream were stunned.
"Damn! This woman...she's ruthless!!"
In front of Lu Sinian, he provoked him with actions and slapped him in the face.
Wow!
"I told you long ago that Lu Sinian is too arrogant!"
"I heard that he was a CEO in the real world before he entered the game. How could a domineering CEO not be arrogant?"
"I went to the Rising Star Tournament to play against lower-level players, thinking I could crush them and have a blast, but I got slapped in the face, hahaha..."
"...But speaking of which, who is this player named Su Deng?"
"Just a low-level player in the D world."
"Lu Sinian thought the same thing, but he had already lost face."
"Her actions all along have been completely unexpected and speechless. I think she might actually advance."
"By the way, I've never played this game before. What's mission four?"
"..."
*
Task 4.
Go back in time and change the fate of Tian Yu, the mistress of the manor.
This mission has absolutely no logic to it; it's all about speed and understanding the clues that lead to the plot.
Tasks two and three are very simple, and many players already know the answers.
It cannot be completed because Task One is blocking the way.
Overall, it's not difficult.
It's just a matter of who understands and reacts first, seizing the initiative.
This is task four...
How can I go back to the past?
bite--
Su Deng ignored Lu Sinian and was pondering when a beam of light shone down.
When I came to my senses, it was bright daytime, and the sun was high in the sky.
A little girl is dancing on the terrace, wearing ballet shoes.
There was only one audience member below, a little boy who looked to be the same age as her.
After she finished dancing, the little boy clapped excitedly with bright eyes, praising her without reservation, "Ayu, you danced so beautifully!"
The little girl was shy and bashful, but when she looked at him, her eyes were filled with undisguised love.
Time passed, and the world changed; the two grew into a young boy and girl.
In a field of wild sunflowers, the boy picked three of the most beautiful ones and gave them to the girl. The two expressed their feelings for each other amidst the brilliant sea of flowers.
The love between childhood sweethearts blossomed from a young age, and its radiant beauty attracted lurking wolves who, in a moment of complete surprise, pounced and swallowed the green plum whole.
The male homeowner steals his beloved, imprisons her, and forces her to marry him.
Even if he planted an entire estate of sunflowers for her, she still wouldn't love him.
No matter how bright or beautiful those sunflowers are, they can't compare to the boy's three.
