Chapter 78 Swan Castle (Second Update)
After all, the hunting condition for the werewolf knight is to perform such an action. Even though Yu Naixin had already won over the werewolf knight's favorability, this male guest, whose name contained the word "knight," still wanted to show his loyalty to her in this way.
Thinking back a bit, it seems the werewolf knight didn't have a chance to bow and swear an oath to her in the real-world instance; the ghost wizard did it before the werewolf knight.
The viewers in the live stream also noticed this.
[This is... a knight's oath of allegiance? Damn, the werewolf is behind the ghost!]
Who cares who performs the knightly salute, as long as it's sweet enough!
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 3 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "What Blinded My Eyes"!]
This scene is so romantic, I love it!
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Neighbor to You"!]
[If the werewolf knew this, he'd be furious, hahaha!]
[The ghost really knows how to seize opportunities, always finding a chance to steal the spotlight from its competitors!]
Ghost Rider didn't actually do it on purpose.
He subconsciously wanted to show respect and submission to Yu Naixin, but he had never had any relevant experience to refer to before. The only thing he could think of was that the hunting conditions of his old rival, the werewolf knight, were somewhat suitable.
The ghost wizard did not want to show any disrespect to Princess Yu Naixin during their first meeting after his rebirth.
Therefore, his body acted faster than his mind, somewhat awkwardly putting his ideas into practice.
Yu Naixin herself doesn't really care about these trivial matters.
After a brief moment of disorientation, Yu Naixin calmly raised her hand to the ghost wizard and said, "Get up."
Yu Naixin understood what the ghost wizard was trying to say. Since he wanted to pledge allegiance to her, she didn't hesitate to give him orders.
"It seems quite lively with those three guests outside the castle." She stood on the steps, looking down at the ghostly wizard who was still kneeling at the bottom. "The vampire and the werewolf have already gone there on my orders. Go and lend them a hand as well."
The ghost wizard has just transformed into human form, and is currently experiencing the height of his excitement and emotional turmoil.
Even if Yu Naixin asked him to pluck the bright crescent moon outside Swan Castle, he would do everything in his power to do it, let alone the fact that Yu Naixin had only made such a small request.
Just as the sea of red roses would generate extra hatred and curses towards the Elf Prince, the moonlight inherited from Moonlight Town would naturally also have a special effect on the two dungeon guests, the Ghost Wizard and the Werewolf Knight.
However, the moonlight was not created by the ghost wizard and the werewolf knight. It was just the most iconic scenery in the Moonlight Town program. In the long cycle of the program, it inevitably absorbed the resentment of countless female guests before their deaths.
Gradually, these small acts of kindness accumulate into a substantial force. Whenever the Ghost Wizard and the Werewolf Knight, both executioners with blood and lives on their hands, are exposed to the moonlight, they suffer its deliberate torment.
Conversely, the four male guests are not significantly affected by scenery that has nothing to do with them.
The red rose field has limited effect on the ghost wizard and werewolf knight, and the moonlight is also relatively weak against the vampire duke and the elf prince.
Otherwise, the Elf Prince wouldn't have been able to escape from Swan Castle, bask in the moonlight, and stay atop the tower for so long.
Even if it's just in the form of a phantom.
"Yes!" The ghost wizard lowered his head even further, his forehead almost touching the ground. "I will obey your will!"
[My God, is the ghost's demeanor really this humble and loyal?!]
[He already has a lot of feelings for the female guest. In "Heartbeat 1000%", once a guest has a lot of feelings for another guest, they're completely devoted to them.]
The final decision on whether or not to express a positive impression rests with the guest participant. When the guest participant agrees, it means that he or she is willing to entrust their entire life and spiritual power to the guest participant's disposal.
The more detailed the analysis, the more moving it becomes...
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 10 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Long Night"!]
The notifications for donations from viewers in the live stream were always sporadic, and the difficulty of this particular episode was not exactly low. Yu Naixin was basically busy shuttling between reality and the simulator, and often didn't pay much attention to the details.
Yu Naixin checked her balance on the system screen and found that it had increased by nearly 200 compared to the 1,700+ Sweet Coins she had seen last time, now totaling 1,928.
Having experienced the nine days and nine nights of constantly needing to purchase daily necessities from the system store in the simulator, Yu Naixin was immediately able to calculate in her mind what purchasing power 1928 had.
However, Yu Naixin doesn't need to buy anything for the time being.
The only thing she wanted to buy was the Qi-Nourishing Medicine from the special shop. She had spent the two she had bought before on the Vampire Duke, and now her spiritual power had naturally recovered a little, but it was still not enough.
Unfortunately, Yu Naixin also tried it; she had to stay in the program instance for a full 24 hours before the Qi-nourishing medicine and healing medicine in the special shop would refresh.
Including the less than fourteen hours she spent in "Cocoon Village," Yu Naixin actually only spent a little over three hours in "Swan Castle," which adds up to a mere seventeen hours, not even twenty.
Yu Naixin didn't plan to stay in this episode for too long; she could only buy it in her next episode.
After receiving the order, the ghost wizard acted immediately without hesitation, heading downstairs.
Yu Naixin herself had no reason to rush. She continued walking at her own pace, neither hurried nor dawdling, toward the sea of red roses outside the castle.
[Wait a minute, the little witch is sending the ghost to help the vampire too? Wouldn't that mean three male guests ganging up on the elf?!]
[Does the female guest have some personal grudge against the elf? She really went all out. When did the elf offend her?]
To be honest, she's only really gentle with werewolves and ghosts. Vampires were tortured to the point of ecstasy by her, and even became addicted...
[It's less about the "Big Boss" specifically targeting the two male guests from "Rose Spire" and more about the two male guests from "Moonlight Town," whose challenges were relatively much lower. The vampire and the elf are both incredibly difficult to deal with, so it's understandable that the "Big Boss" would use drastic measures.]
Yes, many viewers who have watched "Rose Spire" and "Moonlight Town" have already commented in the live chat. In "Moonlight Town," occasionally one or two guests manage to escape alive, but the cleansing effect doesn't even reach the minimum standard of 10%. However, in "Rose Spire," absolutely no guests survived.
[Wait a minute, when it comes to difficulty in winning over a character, who dares to claim the top spot? It's only because he encountered this female guest, a true genius, that he was able to win her over. Even if you sent the strongest female guest on the show, "Jade Blade," you wouldn't be able to reach even 50% affection level, let alone full affection.]
[To be fair, the two male guests on "Moonlight Town" used rather gentle strategies, while the two male guests on "Rose Spire"... well, they were definitely asking for trouble.]
Amidst the lively discussions in the live stream chat, Yu Naixin walked into the banquet hall on the first floor of Swan Castle.
The banquet had started and ended ahead of schedule, and very few of the NPCs who had been busy in the hall remained.
The small-scale mess caused by the vampire duke and the elf prince was still there untouched. Yu Naixin glanced at it and found that no innocent NPCs had been implicated this time.
The old butler, Devman, was still stationed there. Upon seeing Yu Naixin, he hurried over, intending to bow and greet the princess. However, as he quickly approached Yu Naixin, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"You...?!" Devman was utterly astonished and momentarily speechless.
Yu Naixin smiled gently, waved to the old butler to indicate that he didn't need to follow, and continued walking towards the main entrance of the hall.
This is the only proper route into Swan Castle from the outside, a route Yu Naixin had never taken before.
Stepping across the threshold, Yu Naixin saw an endless sea of blood-red roses, and four male guests standing in neat rows.
The Vampire Duke was the most eye-catching. With the help of black bats and blood mist, he floated above the sea of roses. Yu Naixin could spot him at a glance without having to look for him.
These crimson roses did little damage to the Vampire Duke, but they weren't entirely harmless. His tuxedo was already quite torn, and he had several wounds on his body, with a particularly noticeable scar across his right cheek.
It was a graze from an arrow shot by the Elf Prince; it wasn't deep, but it was enough to draw blood.
Bloodstains, much darker than those of ordinary humans, seeped from within, adding an even more eerie touch to the already demonic face of the vampire duke.
He looked down at his prey with an arrogant and disdainful gaze.
The werewolf knight was in a much worse state.
He had clearly ventured into the sea of roses before, and these crimson roses, which wouldn't normally target him, were now being offered to him without mercy, inflicting countless large and small wounds all over the werewolf knight's body.
With the moonlight pouring down relentlessly from the sky, the werewolf knight was already covered in wounds.
The injuries were too severe, so the werewolf knight had to retreat to the edge of the rose garden, trying to hide himself in the only shady spot in the corner of the castle.
Despite being a large man over two meters tall, he looked pitiful.
[Wow, what kind of large dog went out to play and ended up with a head full of bumps, now cowering in a corner waiting for its owner?!]
[The vampire is definitely the strongest male guest in this episode; he's really cool when he's making a serious move! His aura is completely different!]
[Didn't the ghost come over too? Why can't I find him?]
He just tore off a scroll and made himself invisible; you can't see him even if you switch to his perspective.
The Ghost Wizard was arguably the most astute male guest present.
He arrived later than the Vampire Duke and the Werewolf Knight, and after joining the battlefield, he didn't try to steal the spotlight.
Anyway, he has the lowest spiritual power coefficient among the four male guests, so there's no way he can beat him.
The ghost wizard tried his best to conceal his presence, lingering on the edge of the battlefield between the other three male guests, occasionally throwing out a potion or activating a magic circle.
The method is underhanded, but it is indeed very effective.
Surrounded by the Vampire Duke, the Werewolf Knight, and the Ghost Wizard, the Elf Prince had collapsed amidst the sea of flowers.
