Chapter 34 Princess Castle Rules Weird Stories (14) What kind of...
The food in the castle was contaminated and could not be eaten. In the morning and at noon, Gao Mengtang and his companions had not eaten a drop of water and were so hungry that they saw stars.
After tea time, the princesses returned to the castle from the garden. The players finished a day of strategy tasks, exhausted both physically and mentally.
"Can't I eat dinner? Really?" He Lun wanted to cry but had no tears.
Gao Mengtang was so hungry that his face turned pale. Just because he had a small appetite didn't mean he could skip meals. He wanted to comfort He Lun, "Just starve for four days, it's better than being contaminated and deformed." As soon as he opened his mouth, a maltose lollipop was stuffed into his mouth.
A faint sweetness spread from the tongue coating, and the aroma of malt and glutinous rice made the spirit that had been dry for a day jump happily. Gao Mengtang's stomach was empty, so he instinctively licked it twice.
"Who gave me the lollipop?" Gao Mengtang asked.
In Gao Geng's hand was a peeled glass candy wrapper. He lowered his eyes and looked at his brother's hair whorl: "Is it delicious?"
Gao Mengtang: "Brother? The maltose you gave me?"
Gao Geng uttered a soft "hmm".
"Where's the candy?"
Gao Geng: "The princesses. The gifts they received."
Gao Mengtang was silent for a moment.
If he understood correctly, players would give gifts to princesses in order to increase their favorability. Did the brother snatch the gifts given by the players to the princesses and give them to him to eat? ?
"No, it's not quite suitable, right?" Gao Mengtang licked it. Two long ears protruded from the maltose lollipop. It was probably a rabbit-shaped candy.
"It's appropriate." Gao Geng said, "We can't let our distinguished guests suffer."
Wei Wei let out a sonorous "Ha!" Gao Mengtang is the guest, not the three of us, right?
The candy was already in her mouth, and she couldn't take it back. Gao Mengtang shouted for the lollipop, feeling a little uneasy: "Which princess received this gift?"
His cheek was pushed up by the lollipop, like a sticky rice dumpling that had been deformed. Gao Geng looked away from the soft cheek: "Crab Princess. Her suitor said that this was maltose he made himself."
If I remember correctly, the Crab Princess was the dance partner that [365 Foodie] was preparing to attack. Gao Mengtang couldn't help but feel a little worried: "The gift he gave to the princess fell into my hands, can the favorability still be increased?"
"The gift hasn't even been delivered to them yet, how can it be increased?" Wei Wei curled his lips, "I guess it's good enough if it doesn't decrease."
Gao Mengtang: “That’s right.”
Since it was a gift from a gourmet, the lollipop must be safe. The princess might also become deformed if she ate contaminated food, so the gourmet would not give it as a gift.
"There is also flower and fruit tea." Gao Geng took out a glass teapot from somewhere. The tea was still steaming and had a sweet aroma. "But you don't drink tea, you only drink water."
He Lun's eyes sparkled: "I'll drink it, I'll drink it!"
Wei Wei: "Is this also a gift the princess received?"
Gao Geng: "Princess Sea Star."
Princess Starfish is the princess that [015 Gardener] is pursuing.
Holding a pot of rare flower and fruit tea, Gao Geng returned to the bedroom to rest. As a result, Gao Geng picked out all the soft and mushy fruit pieces and put them in a small dish for Gao Mengtang to eat. The remaining tea soup and flower petals were left for Wei Wei, Bai Jie and He Lun.
The three of them looked indifferent. You are biased, who can compare with you?
"Don't be like this, don't be like this." Gao Mengtang distributed the fruit pieces on the plate to his teammates. "I feel this is a bit strange. I haven't conquered NPCs, so I don't know much about them. When you give gifts to princesses, will you give them afternoon tea made by yourself?"
Invisibly, Gao Mengtang was being Versailles again. He made the NPC brother very fond of him at the beginning, but of course he "didn't know" much about how to attack the NPC.
Bai Jie thought for a moment: "We all send props purchased from the system mall, those beautiful but useless gadgets. Or homemade bouquets. Sending handmade afternoon tea is really strange. Because cooking is time-consuming, it is not efficient to improve favorability. Boss, you are so perceptive!"
If he could see it, Gao Mengtang would be burned by Bai Jie's admiring gaze.
Wei Wei stirred the flower and fruit tea, thinking absentmindedly: "What's more, players basically assume that NPCs won't starve to death even if they don't eat. Giving afternoon tea... is very strange."
Moreover, it was [365 Diners] and [015 Gardeners] who both delivered afternoon tea at the same time.
"Do they have information that we don't know?" Gao Mengtang said.
Wei Wei: "I think it is very likely."
There was a knock on the door of the room. It was the guest and the gardener. It was not yet dark, so it was relatively safe inside the castle, so Wei Wei opened the door.
"Boss, do you want to go to the basement?" The diner didn't dare to look at Wei Wei. He hunched his shoulders and spoke tremblingly.
Wei Wei did not answer his question: "What can I do for you? Just tell me."
The diner took a look inside the room and saw Gao Mengtang holding the lollipop he had made. Feeling a little guilty, he was about to take the lollipop away, but Gao Geng held his hand.
"It's for you. Eat it." Gao Geng said.
Gao Mengtang: ...Brother, this is a bit unreasonable.
Diner: "We found that entering the basement, where the princesses' bedrooms are, unlocks new rules."
[Rule 12]: The princesses’ bedrooms are on the basement floor…
He took out the magic letter and showed it to Wei Wei.
Basements are a common place for murders in horror games. It sounds unsafe, and players generally don't risk their lives to go to basements. Wei Wei glanced at the magic letter that unlocked all the rules and smiled contemptuously.
"Excuse me for being so rude. You don't even dare to look me in the eye, so how dare you go to the basement? Who gave you the advice?"
The diner's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "Before I came to you, I wanted to seek refuge with him... Diexian, I followed him and saw him go into the basement to serve afternoon tea to the princesses. So we went in to take a look."
This reason is reasonable and sufficient. Wei Wei couldn't find the direction to question it. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go to the basement and take a look."
The basement is damp, dark, and without light. The princess' bedroom has no door, like a cave under the sea that never sees the sun. As soon as you enter the basement, the magic letter explodes and appears in front of the player.
19. Welcome to the basement. Unlike the main castle, in the basement, you can let go of all etiquette and revel to your heart's content. Princesses sometimes also like lively scenes.
20. Food is precious. If you want a date, give them some fresh, healthy food so they will say yes to your dance.
21. The princesses and servants in the castle are sometimes in a bad mood. If they become irritable, their voices are rough, their faces are distorted or even ugly, all this is normal and you can stay away from them.
22. I wish you a pleasant experience and you are always welcome at Ocean Heart Resort!
System prompt: All rules have been unlocked.
According to Article 20, the princesses must be given some food so that they can become the player's dance partner. But the food in the castle is poisonous...
"I have food here. This food is healthy." The gardener held out his fruit basket again. "As long as you can... can accept me."
Wei Wei and others fell silent.
If they accepted the help of [015 Gardener], then it would be a bit unkind for them to insist on rejecting the two of them.
Gao Mengtang suddenly said, "I'm sleepy and want to rest. Wei Wei, let's go back to the bedroom."
He Lun: "Brother, are you feeling unwell? It's only 6:30, why did you kick me?"
Wei Wei rolled his eyes, exchanged a few quick words with the two men, said goodbye, and left with the three men: "Your Excellency the Blind Man is just looking for an excuse to get rid of the diners and gardeners, and you are still asking questions there."
"Oh, I see!" He Lun realized belatedly, "Brother, why are you in such a hurry to get rid of them? Without the help of the gardener, we can't get fresh and healthy food."
"Actually, aren't we just food?" Gao Mengtang said.
Heron: "What?"
Gao Mengtang: "Rule 5, there are many unknown objects floating above the park. They used to be dangerous and edible."
"The unknown object is a hanging corpse. The castle NPC is actually a fish. For them, human corpses are edible. However, the corpses are not fresh enough and not healthy enough."
"We are living people, and the flesh of living people should be fresh and healthy enough."
He Lun pounded his fist: "That makes sense! Wait, we want the princess to eat our flesh?!"
Gao Mengtang was also helpless: "It's quite bloody, but it's a test."
After thinking for a while, they found that there was no other way out, so they had to go back into the basement with a tragic mood.
Passing the hall, the diner and the gardener were still standing at the entrance to the basement, both of them chewing their nails and talking about something.
Seeing Gao Mengtang coming back, the glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes.
"Blind men, you..." The diner came forward, but when he saw their expressions, he swallowed his words back.
Wei Wei, He Lun and Bai Jie lined up in a row, with heavy expressions on their faces, and walked past them into the basement without even looking around.
Not long after, Helen's screams were heard from the basement.
The diners and the gardener looked shocked: "What are they doing?"
Gao Mengtang: "They have to do this."
They "had to" do this, were they forced? Who forced them? Heron was always with the blind man.
So, it was the blind who forced them?
"You are scared, aren't you?" Gao Mengtang asked with concern. Behind him, Gao Geng was putting on a long fur cape for him, and his metal left arm flashed with a cold light.
A chill ran down my spine. Was this a threat?
"If you choose the wrong direction, you will have to pay a heavy price." Gao Mengtang sighed.
If rules 19-22 were unlocked on the first day, when the park was not so polluted and the food was edible, there would be no need to feed the princess with human flesh.
However, when entering the amusement park, the player was so focused on increasing his favorability that he did not explore the castle or unlock the rules. He was going in the wrong direction.
The diners and the gardener were sweating profusely. A warning, undoubtedly a warning. Did the blind man know that they were Qin Xishuang's eyes? !
Gao Mengtang muttered to himself, feeling somewhat relieved: "Fortunately, there is still a chance to make amends. Right."
I discovered this rule a few days late, but being bitten by the princesses was not fatal, and the wounds healed quickly with some healing items.
The blind man guessed it, he had guessed it a long time ago. The two wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. The blind man was urging them to confess their true feelings and get a chance to make amends.
"Oh, by the way," Gao Mengtang suddenly remembered, "I still have to thank you for the clues you provided. If anything unexpected happens tonight, please come to us for help, and we will protect you."
The screams in the basement stopped, and three men walked out of the basement, dragging their bloody arms.
The arm was bitten to pieces, revealing the white bones.
Gao Mengtang couldn't see clearly, but he could smell the strong smell of blood. He asked worriedly, "Is it serious?"
Bai Jie was the first to answer: "It's not serious. Suffering is a test given to us by our Lord!"
"That's good." Gao Mengtang felt relieved.
The diners and the gardener were dumbfounded and completely forgot to breathe. What kind of secret cult was this? Even though his arm was bitten like this, he didn't dare to complain and insisted that it was not serious.
"Remember, come find us." Gao Mengtang turned around and said to the two of them, "If you encounter any difficulties."
"No! No need!" The fear of death overcame the love for Qin Xishuang. The diners and the gardener jumped three feet high and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Their voices came from far away, "We will pay attention to safety. Thank you! Goodbye!"
Gao Mengtang: “Eh?”
