Chapter 52 Swan Castle (Second Update)
The werewolf knight had already made way, and Yu Naixin stepped out of the room and onto the bloodstains on the ground.
She didn't bother to lift her long skirt; the black hem was stained with red blood, leaving even more jagged and exaggerated marks with each step Yu Naixin took.
Yu Naixin walked at a leisurely pace, her face displaying a nonchalant indifference. Apart from the soft sound of her footsteps, all around was silent.
When Yu Naixin walked up to the ghost wizard and lowered her eyelids to look at the male guest who seemed to be only a hair's breadth away from death, the sense of oppression in this scene reached its peak.
Holy crap, she's so damn handsome! I want to kneel down and worship her!
When the Great Demon Queen is causing trouble, she's truly insane; when she's serious and cold, her aura is terrifying... It's that nonchalant feeling of having everything under her control...
[He's only 1.5 meters tall, but he walked with the aura of someone 5.1 meters tall... I couldn't help but hold my breath...]
[Damn, I was so nervous before, but then I saw she was only 1.5 meters tall and it cracked me up, haha. But is the female guest really 1.5 meters tall? There's a big height difference between her and all the male guests, could she only be around 1.4 meters?]
[Hilarious! The female guest likes the male guest to kneel down—maybe because it's easier for her to see while kneeling, she doesn't have to look up! Hahahaha!]
【What?! You guys completely ruined the atmosphere! Hahaha, I can't help but laugh too!】
"You won't die, will you?" Yu Naixin greeted the ghost wizard lightly. "If you won't die, then open your mouth and answer the question."
Wow... that's said with a kind of domineering sense of entitlement, so cool!
[Great, the little witch has brought the atmosphere back on track with just one sentence.]
[Oh my god, is this ghostly state also due to being affected by the female guest's special mahjong artifact?! When did I get it? I have absolutely no recollection of it!]
[This must be when someone said they couldn't see what she gave the werewolf? Holy crap, how can she keep pulling out such overpowered special items?!]
Yu Naixin sensed that the Ghost Wizard's spiritual power coefficient was indeed not very high, only 180, barely meeting the minimum standard line mentioned by the Priest Folding Fan, which was about 40 lower than the Werewolf Knight's spiritual power coefficient of 209.
No wonder they were almost powerless against the werewolf knight's attacks.
However, Yu Naixin is genuinely interested in what abilities the Ghost Wizard possesses, given that he can spend so much time in the same program instance with the Werewolf Knight despite having such a low spiritual power coefficient.
When the ghost wizard arrived, Yu Naixin summoned the priest's folding fan back to her side, just in case.
After securing the Ghost Wizard, Yu Naixin didn't let the Priestess Folding Fan sit idle; she continued to monitor the movements of the other two male guests in real time.
With the addition of two Jade White Bone Mahjong tiles, Yu Naixin estimates that she can control the Ghost Wizard for a maximum of 105 seconds, nearly two minutes.
There seemed to be plenty of time, but Yu Naixin wasn't just controlling the Ghost Wizard at this moment.
The werewolf knight next to her also needed Yu Naixin to multitask to keep him in check.
Although this is nothing compared to when I was the Mountain God in the previous episode, the difficulty is still exponentially higher than when I was only controlling one person.
The good news is that after the werewolf knight used the Heart-Piercing Technique on the ghost wizard, the werewolf knight was in a much better mood and became more compliant, which made Yu Naixin feel a little more at ease.
Indeed, it is more pleasant to see the enemy suffer than to enjoy oneself.
However, Yu Naixin had no intention of gambling this time; she had other things to do.
"Hand over all your knowledge, experience, and recipes related to potion making," Yu Naixin said. "If you have any samples, materials, or tools with you, bring them out too."
Based on current information, it is known that the Ghost Wizard's specialty and forte is making potions.
Prescriptions and notes on understanding the medicine are very important assets, and if possible, they should be carried with you at all times.
As for materials, tools, and readily available potions, Yu Naixin wasn't sure how much the Ghost Wizard would bring; she'd take whatever she could get.
【Huh? Why did the female guest start by robbing us? Shouldn't she have asked for some information first?】
[No, I can understand her wanting ghost potions—those are all magical items—but what does she want the other things for? Does she want to learn how to make potions?!]
[How could that be? Making potions isn't something you can learn so easily! It involves profound knowledge about the laws governing the flow of spiritual energy. Not only does it require exceptional talent, but it also demands years of dedicated study!]
[Yes, it's not like some show guests haven't learned new skills from the dungeon guests or NPCs, but putting aside the fact that each dungeon run is a nail-biting, time-sensitive event, leaving little time or energy for other miscellaneous tasks, many skills are really selective; not just anyone can learn them!]
Unless it's exceptionally useful for guiding the guests through the dungeon, the guests on the show are unlikely to learn new skills on the spot... and even then, there's a high chance they won't succeed.
[Besides, what can you really learn from just a few tips, prescriptions, and materials? How many people can truly master knowledge by simply reading textbooks? Moreover, this isn't even a systematic textbook; personal experience is often fragmented and only applicable to oneself, isn't it?]
I don't think the female guest is the type to be unrealistic or have unrealistic expectations. Although she kept pulling off some questionable moves, she maintained control throughout. She probably has other uses for all that stuff.
I also think the little witch is planning to do something else; I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next!
Amidst the lively discussions in the live stream chat, the Ghost Wizard pulled out one by one the items Yu Naixin had ordered.
Yu Naixin could clearly sense that the ghost wizard was actually struggling desperately with an extremely weak consciousness throughout the process.
Even his body is affected by his will, twitching from time to time.
However, no matter how much the ghost wizard struggled, it was all in vain under Yu Naixin's precise control.
The convulsions in his body served no purpose other than worsening the ghost wizard's already precarious balance; he continued to pull things out of his cloak without the slightest pause.
There were quite a few odds and ends. Looking at the tattered cloak on the ghost wizard, Yu Naixin thought to herself that these dungeon guests really did have something like a spatial pocket.
Her own system screen comes with a storage function, allowing her to access items purchased from the two online stores at any time.
Yu Naixin tested it out. If the items the Ghost Wizard took out contained spiritual power, she could put them into the system's inventory. However, there were some items that did not contain spiritual power, so Yu Naixin had to take them manually.
"Give me what you used to put these things in." She gave the new order.
[Holy crap, hahaha, what kind of 'plucking feathers from a passing goose, leaving only skin for a fleeing beast' behavior!]
[To put it another way, the little witch is making the most of what she has~]
Wait a minute, wait a minute, isn't the ghost carrying things in that cloak? Even though it's tattered, it still covers his body. If he's not wearing the cloak, is he wearing something else underneath? If not, it will trigger the privacy mechanism of "Heartbeat 1000%"! We might not be able to see the scene!
There were indeed no other clothes under the ghost wizard's cloak.
However, it did not trigger any privacy mechanisms.
Because his entire body was a transparent, gelatinous mass, there was a distinction between his head and limbs, but no detailed depiction of his organs.
For example, a ghost wizard has fingers and toes, but you can't see the nails on them.
For example, the Ghost Wizard's physique is clearly male, but there's nothing about him that can't be shown.
Yu Naixin only saw the ghost wizard's face clearly for the first time after he took off his cloak.
Thin, delicate-looking, with somewhat indistinct features.
This ghost is truly a ghost...
It's fine when there's light, but if the light is dim, you really can't see where he is.
[Why does he seem so bookish? He's like the kind of student who spends all his time in the library and lab, wearing thick glasses.]
Yu Naixin could sense that she didn't have much time left to control these two male guests.
The vampire duke and the elf prince were also heading this way. Yu Naixin quickly packed up her things, and then, in the same way, made the werewolf knight and the ghost wizard get away from her as quickly as possible. She herself also left on the priest's folding fan.
The orders received by the werewolf knight and the ghost wizard did not include counting red roses. The ghost wizard was much faster than the werewolf knight, and the effect of the Jade Bone Mahjong finally disappeared after the two ran out of sight of each other.
When the ghost wizard found himself naked inside the castle, he felt like the sky was falling.
He was even in the corridor on the left side of the castle, next to several maids who covered their eyes, wanting to scream but not daring to.
"No—!" the ghost wizard screamed in despair, "No—!!!"
The ghost wizard strangled the maids to death immediately, not even caring that they were wearing maid outfits, and quickly tore off some pieces of cloth to cover himself.
Only when all the transparent skin was completely covered did the ghost wizard seem to regain some of his sanity and calm down a little.
"This time's female guest..." The ghostly wizard's teeth chattered, his sinister voice brimming with barely ignited gunpowder, "...I'll kill you! I'll kill you!! I will definitely kill you—!!!"
Compared to the Ghost Wizard's hysteria, the Werewolf Knight's reaction was much milder.
He was stunned at first, then grimaced in gratitude at the sharp pain in his brain before he remembered what had just happened.
While the werewolf knight was naturally angry and embarrassed at having fallen for her trick and been so easily teased by Yu Naixin, these were not the most significant emotions.
Rather, it was... the throbbing of a racing heart.
Even the werewolf knight's furry face couldn't help but show a shy expression.
The image of Yu Naixin dancing gracefully like a butterfly on the windowsill kept replaying in his mind.
And then, the light steps she took as she jumped off the windowsill and stepped out of the room.
The werewolf knight felt that this time, the female guest had truly touched his heart at every step.
She's so beautiful...so elegant...I wish I could dance with her...
Viewers who chose the werewolf knight's perspective in the live stream were quite shocked.
[Holy crap, what kind of expression is that?! It's even more creepy than the wink the female guest made! At least with that wink, the other facial muscles were stiff, not this disgusting!]
[The werewolf seems like a shy, lovesick young girl, oh my god... Did the little witch flip some kind of switch inside him when she was controlling him?!]
[Has anyone seen the previous Werewolf content? Can someone explain what happened? How did the Werewolf become like this?!]
[I watched it, but I didn't know! In the episode I watched, the female guest was tricked by the ghost right from the start. The werewolf tried to take her away by force but failed. The female guest was taken by the ghost to an underground private cell and tortured to death!]
To be honest, in the last dungeon episode, the paper doll was the first to fall for the Demon King, and now he's turned into a paper puppy. This time, the werewolf was the first to fall for her. It seems the Demon King has a particular attraction to canines?
