Chapter 28: Weird Stories about the Princess Castle Rules (8) Side Quest Rewards...
The river was nearly 10 meters wide and the current was so fast that the boat could not reach the shore. Gao Mengtang and his companions drifted downstream.
The sound of music boxes rang out from all directions, and in the background, a person passionately introduced the various sea areas.
"You are about to arrive at the shallow sea zone, where there is plenty of sunshine, lush vegetation, and coral reefs developed on the bedrock of the seabed..."
The models are lined up on both sides of the sea cave. They are exquisite and lifelike.
Now that you are here, just enjoy it. You can't get off this pirate ship anyway. He also used blueberries to protect his eyes, and gained 30 minutes of precious clear vision.
Gao Mengtang leaned back into the soft cushions of the boat and admired the microscopic model carefully.
"We dived down to the coral reef..."
The boat shook violently, and dived vertically almost 90 degrees along the waterfall. Gao Mengtang grabbed the enemy rabbit with one hand and grabbed the blueberry branch with the other. With the help of Gao Geng pulling him back, he barely managed to sit still. The black clay puppet hung on the side of the boat for a while, and then climbed up on its own.
There was a huge sound of water splashing. The boat landed at the bottom of the waterfall and rushed forward in circles at a faster speed, shaking as much as a disco turntable.
"Now, we are moving on and seeing the pelagic zone. There are all kinds of cephalopods and many pelagic fishes..."
Following the explanation, a huge octopus model fell from the sky. Gao Mengtang lowered his head quickly, and its eight tentacles brushed past his head.
"Can the mysterious sea cave be called a sightseeing attraction?" Gao Mengtang had just stood up when a tuna rushed over and almost hit his nose.
For a viewing project, you should sit quietly and watch it from beginning to end. Just admire and admire it. But they drifted all the way here, feeling dizzy and having monsters jump on their faces. The excitement was comparable to a haunted house.
Gao Geng held Gao Mengtang tightly with one arm, and the five fingers of the other mechanical hand popped out an iron hook and hooked it tightly onto the side of the boat.
"No." Gao Geng looked around. Amid the violent shaking, his body remained as steady as a sculpture.
Gao Geng: "Here... no, it's not paradise."
"You have come to the ocean basin, the seabed area, how many secrets are deposited!"
The darkness completely enveloped the boat, and it was pitch dark. All around there were the sounds of unknown giant fish splashing in the water, as well as some strange howls.
Unable to see anything clearly and feeling numb all over, Gao Mengtang reached out and patted something with a hard shell.
It's a crab.
The crabs were crawling around on their boat, even crawling onto Gao Mengtang's body. The dense knocking sound made people's scalps numb.
Subconsciously, Gao Mengtang opened his eyes wide, trying to capture every ray of light.
The light really appeared, a thin strip in the river, flickering continuously, illuminating the densely packed crabs on the deck of the boat, which gathered in a heap and moved back and forth.
Gao Mengtang felt his scalp tingling and even a little nauseous. He stretched out his foot to kick the crab away. When he lowered his head, his whole body went cold.
There were more and more fluorescent strips in the river, swaying and jumping violently. They came from the backs of long creatures.
[Rule 16]: Blind snakes are slender creatures with fluorescent bodies...
The water is full of blind snakes.
The next second, the sound of crackling water continued, and black, slippery snakes jumped onto the boat one after another, entangled with each other and twisted into a ball.
Their eyeballs were a chaotic pure white, but they flew towards Gao Mengtang like moths seeing the light.
[Rule 16] ...If you see them in the river, do not proceed, jump off the boat immediately, swim to the shore, and wait for rescue by the castle staff.
Just when I was about to jump off the boat, I found that the entire boat was surrounded by blind snakes. The fluorescent light on the snakes illuminated the entire water area. Hundreds of white eyeballs were staring at the people on the boat.
Gao Mengtang: ...Are you going to jump down too?
"Close your eyes." A gentle and affectionate voice sounded in Gao Mengtang's ears. The hand wearing a ring gently covered Gao Mengtang's eyes. The sweet floral scent seemed to have a calming effect on the mind.
The blue morpho butterflies flapped their wings, like colorful fireflies in the dark.
Qin Xishuang lowered her eyelashes, breathing rapidly, but said in a steady tone: "Rule 15, if you feel scared when passing through the seabed area, close your eyes."
"If the player is scared and doesn't close his eyes, the blind snake will appear."
He jumped off the boat with Gao Mengtang, as light as a fluttering butterfly, and landed on the shore without making a sound.
"I fought with the blind snake for a long time before I understood the meaning of Rule 15," Qin Xishuang said. "These two rules are very strict. In a dark environment, we want to see the light and can't help but keep our eyes open. When we find a monster like a blind snake, we will be more alert and keep our eyes open."
The sound of splashing water gradually became smaller. Gao Mengtang's eyes were covered, but he could feel that the light shining through his eyelids was gradually getting weaker.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. When your fear disappears, the blind snake will disappear too."
After a long while, Gao Mengtang's breathing gradually stabilized. He moved Qin Xishuang's hand away, opened one eye, and looked out tentatively.
It was pitch black. The blind snake disappeared.
"Chief, why are you here?" Gao Mengtang asked.
"Master Chief? What a polite name." Qin Xishuang smiled, and he summoned a few more flash butterflies to provide a faint light.
Gao Mengtang didn't fall for his attempt to get close to her, and said gently, "This is our first official meeting, so of course we are unfamiliar."
In the huge cave, there were only dots of light from the blue morpho butterflies. Qin Xishuang's handsome face looked even more hazy and charming in the dimness.
[Rule 16]: ...If you see them in the river, do not continue to move forward, but jump off the boat immediately, swim to the shore, and wait for rescue by the castle staff.
The two chatted while waiting for rescue.
"Wei Wei said something bad about me, right?" Qin Xishuang asked with a smile, "Mengtang, you are somewhat hostile to me."
This time it was Gao Mengtang's turn to be speechless, because Qin Xishuang was right, Wei Wei had been saying bad things about him behind his back.
Whenever he got the chance, Wei Wei would instill in Gao Mengtang the idea that "Qin Xishuang is a bastard and a heart-stealer and cannot be trusted."
Qin Xishuang changed the subject and answered sincerely: "I maxed out the princess' favorability and got the second dance partner. I got information that this dungeon is not easy. I explored everywhere and tried my luck. Maybe I could find a side quest. I happened to enter the [Mysterious Sea Cave]. My boat is ahead of yours."
After he said that, he looked at Gao Mengtang with a smile and even a determined look.
When other players hear the five words "I got intelligence", they will definitely follow up and ask "What intelligence?"
However, Gao Mengtang was coaxing the rabbit. He held the furry ball in his arms and asked in a low voice, "Are you scared?" and "Are you okay?"
Qin Xishuang's smile froze for a moment: "I got the information."
Gao Mengtang: "Really?"
"uh-huh."
"Then congratulations to the leader of the Blue Camp." Gao Mengtang also smiled.
Qin Xishuang: “…”
Gao Mengtang sneered in his heart. He had countless suitors since he was a child. When he sent a group message wishing everyone a Happy New Year, suitors 1-n all believed that they were the most special dogs. He was always the one who hooked others, and it was never the turn for others to hook him.
You must not let the other party take the initiative in the conversation. Gao Mengtang did not ask a single question.
Perhaps realizing that she had met a high-end player, Qin Xishuang stopped being arrogant and went straight to the point: "The reward for this dungeon's side quest is the Black Tower Key."
Black Tower Key!
Gao Mengtang didn't have the Black Tower yet, and he was very interested in the key. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, without showing any concern on his face, and even rubbed the little rabbit.
"And the entrance to the side copy..." Qin Xishuang's gaze lingered on the black mud puppet for a moment, and she stopped talking.
"I wonder if Wei Wei's puppet has the function of eavesdropping," Qin Xishuang stood up, stretched out a finger, and touched the head of the enemy rabbit.
He leaned down, almost whispering in Gao Mengtang's ear: "If you want to participate in the side quest, come to me alone."
Probably realizing that someone was trying to steal his girl away from him, the black clay puppet angrily hit Qin Xishuang.
Gao Mengtang still didn't say anything. He was judging Qin Xishuang's reliability.
The "Princess Castle Rules Weird Stories" dungeon is not simple, and it contains a high-risk, high-reward branch dungeon, which is very believable. After all, this dungeon has an additional NPC "No Man's Land Prince", and the difficulty has also changed from Sequence 7 to "No Rating Yet".
But, the reward for the side quest is the Black Tower Key. Why did Qin Xishuang tell him? Does he want to give the key away?
As if she knew what Gao Mengtang was worried about, Qin Xishuang explained slowly: "I already have a black tower, which is very consistent with my identity card [207 Butterfly Fairy] and Charm Specialization. I don't plan to abandon it."
"I am also the leader of a large camp." Qin Xishuang's index and middle fingers gently brushed Gao Mengtang's hairline and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I will give this black tower to the confidant in my camp."
After 30 minutes, Gao Mengtang's vision gradually became blurred.
Qin Xishuang kept staring at his beautiful big eyes. Seeing Gao Mengtang gradually losing his sight, his eyes became hazy and his smile deepened.
People who are helpless are more easily deceived.
"Yin Mingwu, the leader of the Black Gulls, is an ambitious man. He not only wants to dominate the game "Black Tower", but also wants to reach out to the other world." Qin Xishuang shook his head and sighed. Even though he knew Gao Mengtang couldn't see clearly, he still acted out his expressions and eye contact.
"I admire his great talent, but have you ever heard that the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of lives? I don't know how many innocent lives were sacrificed to lay the foundation for Yin Mingwu to ascend to the throne."
Gao Mengtang listened quietly, capturing every key word about the black tower.
Qin Xishuang: "As for me, I don't have any great ambitions. My family died in the Black Tower game. The confidants of the camp are my new family. I only have one wish, that my family is safe. Mengtang, you should understand."
Gao Mengtang also lost his family. He finally found his brother, but he also lost his memory. This speech is the right medicine for the disease.
"If you are willing to join [Dark Crossing Flash Butterfly], this Black Tower Key will be yours." Qin Xishuang said, and then added, "Kuai Wei's resurrection contract must be signed with desire, it is invalid for you, right? You can join Black Owl, but you won't get any tangible benefits."
Gao Mengtang didn't believe it. What's the difference between a leader saying he treats his subordinates as family and a boss saying he treats his employees as family?
Qin Xishuang definitely wanted to get the black tower key herself, but as for why she wanted to bring Gao Mengtang into the group, it is unknown.
"Why haven't the rescuers come yet?" Gao Mengtang pretended to be anxiously waiting, "I'll summon Wei Wei to take me away."
"I'll take you away," Qin Xishuang said immediately. He took Gao Mengtang's arm, and the two of them walked out along the river.
He could actually take Gao Mengtang away early in the morning, but if he didn't delay for half an hour, how would he have a chance to steal her away?
All the way in silence.
After a long while, Qin Xishuang seemed unwilling to give up: "Wei Wei must have said a lot of bad things about me. He is a person... his character is actually a bit... Never mind. I can't say bad things about people behind their backs. I am an upright person."
Gao Mengtang: ...Why is there a scent of tea?
He said something bad halfway, clearly conveying the message that Wei Wei was a bad person, but then stopped hypocritically, claiming that he was upright.
When it comes to tea art, you are still the best!
