[Dungeon Opening·Day 9]
Early in the morning, the air was filled with the aroma of hot porridge.
People wore felt hats, carried guns, and wrapped themselves tightly. Many people had the mission of leaving the city today.
Su Mingan woke up at six in the morning and happened to meet a group of people having breakfast.
"Louis, you're wearing so little, don't you feel cold?" A pink-haired girl named Staci stared at Su Mingan in a white coat with curiosity.
"Not cold." Su Mingan shook his head.
Not far away, a blue-haired young man walked over.
"I didn't expect you to be in the Beacon Shelter, Lewis, let's go out together." The blue-haired young man naturally put his arm around Su Mingan's shoulder and said, "Let's go."
Su Mingan recognized who the blue-haired young man was. The people who could do such an intimate gesture of hugging each other's shoulders could only be his player teammates, the most likely one being Lu.
They walked out of the shelter. The loess road outside was a bit bumpy, but wide enough for three large trucks to run side by side. Trucks roared past, packed with fully armed mercenaries.
There were some red lanterns hanging under the houses, and the shops sold some necessities such as wheat seeds, potatoes, salt and sugar.
"We still need four teammates." Lu said: "Noel... can't be found for the time being, so we can only look for Lu Shu, Yamada and Luna."
"Um."
"There's going to be a festival here soon, I think it's called the 'Fuyuan Festival', and everyone is shopping." Lu said.
The culture here is somewhat similar to that of Longguo. The Fuyuan Festival is very similar to the Spring Festival. There are lantern-like decorations hanging in many places on the streets, and some people are drying dried goods such as bacon and sausages.
"That's quite a coincidence. The New Year is almost approaching in the main god's world." Su Mingan said.
In the past few days, he saw that the audience had been talking about the New Year. Since this was the first time that humans celebrated the New Year in a world game, they felt it was very novel.
Now beside Su Mingan, Noel was invaded by his own wielder and did not participate in Kaiusta. Lu Shu was nowhere to be seen. Yueyue... as the Los Celstia of the war group, no one knew where she was.
His item "Siber's Tracking Compass" can only locate three people in a copy. Now he has located two people, Dong Anan and Lin Guang, and there is one position that he must leave empty to prevent accidents.
None of the people he trusted were around anymore.
"Here." Suddenly, a hand reached out.
Su Mingan turned his head and saw Lu Zheng smiling gently. In Lu's palm lay an oval candy wrapped in purple.
"My sister likes you very much, so she asked me to bring you some snacks from Australia." Lu said, "It is said that sweets can make people feel better. If she saw you eating her candy, she would be very happy."
As the only top player who can get along well with the audience, Lu is praised as the person "least affected by public opinion storms" and has very high emotional intelligence, rhetoric and affinity.
"Thank you." Su Mingan said.
He put the candy in his pocket but didn't eat it. He would no longer eat food offered to him by anyone.
Lu didn't care, he just raised the camera in his hand.
Kaiusta has some side quests, and completing them can earn contribution points. Lu took on a side quest to photograph NPCs and record their actions and events.
"Su Mingan, can you wait for me here for a while?" Lu said, "My task is to conduct an interview, which will be quick."
"Okay." Su Mingan said.
It was the early days of Kaiusta, and the focus was on collecting information. He had not received any system prompts, and it was not yet time for a major event to occur.
He has not yet decided how to reconstruct the historical actions of Akto.
...How should he launch the Dawn War?
This epic war for freedom and liberation that lasted for forty years and was recorded in history books. How should he lead those people who admired him like a god?
Lu raised the camera and walked towards an ordinary store.
An old lady with gray hair was sitting in a shop selling paper flowers and red lanterns.
She is very skillful, and her hands, which are covered with thick calluses, fold out thousands of bright red paper cranes and small paper figures. She looks focused, like a craftsman in an ancient town.
Su Mingan was waiting outside, and Lu walked in and handed the old lady candy. The old lady smiled and said a few words in front of the camera, then held Lu's hand and gave him instructions. After a while, Lu came out.
"Sorry for the wait, Su Mingan." Lu said. In his hand he held a beautiful paper lantern, bright red, like the sun.
Su Mingan was not interested in the old lady's affairs and had no intention of asking too many questions.
They continued walking down the street, and after a moment, Lu took the initiative to speak:
"The old lady's daughter was previously forcibly conscripted into the God's camp and forced to listen to the God's whispers."
Su Mingan tilted his head slightly.
The road has a far-reaching gaze:
"The old lady's daughter died of [deletion] disease, and she was pregnant with her grandson before she died."
"The daughter gave birth to the child, but the child was born with defects. In the end, the old lady had no choice but to kill the child with her own hands."
"Then... the old lady went crazy."
"She only remembered how to fold paper flowers and paper cranes. She spent all day and night folding all kinds of small things. Because of these things, she used to fold them for her pregnant daughter to play with."
"She only reacts to people who give her candy because my daughter loved candy before she got pregnant. So, she just held my hand and kept calling me 'daughter, daughter'."
"My camera is meant to record stories like this. I am collecting material in order to expose the brutality of the Holy Inquisition of the Gods."
