Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Yinhuai Village
Liu Yanran was listening attentively to the tour guide's introduction at this moment.
The tour guide said that her surname was Luo, which means "qing" in Chinese: qing means heavy rain.
Liu Yanran sat in her seat, her fingertips in her pockets about to dig into the flesh of her palms.
It was her, it was indeed her! Exactly the same name, and just as several players had described, a beautiful woman.
Luo Qing was sitting in the passenger seat of the minibus, holding the microphone and introducing himself to the passengers.
In order to facilitate her movements and leading the group, she wore loose jeans and hiking shoes, and a vest over a shirt on her upper body.
The tour guide who was holding a microphone and talking eloquently looked very capable. Her long hair was tied in a high ponytail. Even though she was not wearing any makeup, she had an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, curved eyebrows, and was dressed very simply. She was a beauty among ordinary people.
The kind of amateur beauty who you would praise as beautiful when passing by, but whose appearance you can't quite remember and who has no obvious recognition.
If Liu Yanran didn't know that the tour guide in front of her was Luo Qing, if it was a guide NPC from another dungeon, she would have just thought it was a beautiful NPC.
But knowing that she was Luo Qing, Liu Yanran at this moment wished she could memorize her appearance firmly in her mind.
There were a few messy smart hairs on Luo Qing's forehead. Her lips were a little pale, her skin was a cold white, her eyes were lighter in color, and she didn't look tired at all. She seemed to be in good spirits.
If she were alive, she would be like an ordinary person in reality who has not been ravaged by the copy and lives a good life every day.
Like Liu Yanran, another male player in the car, Mo Fei, was also staring at Luo Qing.
He and Liu Yanran were one seat apart, but both were players who made direct eye contact with Luo Qing.
Murphy's face looked very ugly at the moment. He tried his best to suppress his inner collapse, listened hard to the guide's narration in front of him, and quickly entered the dungeon environment.
It had only been five days since the last dungeon, and there was no cool-down period at all, but he entered the dungeon again!
And all this is because of the unlucky "dice".
Murphy is a dungeon player with special means. Since he was pulled into the strange domain, he obtained a magical item - the fortune dice.
The three-day dice is bound to Murphy, and no one can take it away. It seems that only he can see the prop.
It was a multi-sided dice. Most of the time, when Murphy rolled the dice, he would get numbers from 0 to 6, which represented his fortune for the next three days.
3 is the median, 6 is great fortune, and 0 is a near-death experience.
In addition to the fortune numbers, the dice may also roll out a treasure chest pattern, which means you may get props, or a blood drop pattern, which indicates a bloody disaster.
Because it was in the copy cooling period and in reality, Murphy threw the dice normally last night after it cooled down.
But he didn't expect that this time, a pattern appeared that he had never seen before: a question mark.
Yes, a simple question mark made him confused and he had no idea what it meant.
He thought about it all night last night. This morning, Murphy was about to go downstairs to have a meal. As soon as he walked past the bus stop downstairs, he was pulled into the dungeon.
Murphy was devastated. He was unlucky enough to roll a 1 on the last day of the previous copy and almost died there.
How can he enter the dungeon so quickly? Does this question mark mean that the dungeon cooling period has been completely eliminated?
But no matter how devastated you are, you still have to pass the dungeon.
Murphy listened very carefully to the guide NPC's introduction, but as expected, before actually entering the dungeon location, the guide NPC only gave a simple introduction.
All he knew was that they were a tour group and were going to a place called Yinhuai Village to spend three days and two nights.
Yinhuai Village, the name sounds gloomy and cold, it is simply the name of a classic mountain village in the infinite flow.
"Our trip is three days and two nights, and it will take about an hour and a half to drive to Yinhuai Village."
"There will be a welcoming banquet for everyone at noon. You can have free time in the afternoon to familiarize yourself with the environment of Yinhuai Village."
Luo Qing introduced the itinerary and immediately saw a passenger raise his hand to ask a question.
"Hello, tour guide. What are the specific arrangements for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?" The speaker was a girl with braided pigtails. Luo Qing remembered her name was Fang Xiang.
"Hello, passengers. I know that everyone in the group wants to participate in the ancient rituals of Yinhuai Village this time. However, I need to confirm the relevant procedures with the village chief when I get there."
There was a hint of apology in Luo Qing's words.
"Ceremony?!" In the back seat of the minibus, the middle-aged man in black clothes changed his expression.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. As the saying goes, good food is never too late. It's a good time to rest in the village today and recharge your energy for the next two days' activities." Luo Qing said.
"Guide Luo, are there only these people in our car?" Liu Yanran also spoke at this moment.
There are currently seven people in the minibus, three women and four men, in addition to the driver and tour guide. Although there are luggage, there are still seats.
"There are only seven people in our group, seven of you sitting here, and no other passengers." Luo Qing replied.
"Everyone can close your eyes, eat something and chat. Don't be restrained."
Luo Qing glanced around the passengers and turned off her microphone. She didn't seem to recognize the group. The oldest of them was a man in his forties, with gray hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and a black shirt. He looked refined and refined, like a man of culture. Luo Qing also remembered his name clearly: He Zimei.
Generally, for long-distance tour groups, the tour guide will often spend a long period of time after boarding the bus to liven up the atmosphere, tell jokes, sing songs and interact with others.
However, Luo Qing was too lazy to do all these things on this short trip. It would be better to leave time for everyone to sleep and eat something. Time passed quickly.
It was probably our first meeting, and the group was on a short tour of three days and two nights. The group members were not very enthusiastic, and there was not much excitement or smiles on their faces.
Luo Qing didn't take it seriously. He got up early, packed his things and took the bus. It was normal for him to feel listless.
Brother Qi was driving, and although he was an experienced driver, Luo Qing didn't intend to distract himself with conversation. They had already chatted before the tour group boarded the bus, and with so many people on board, it wouldn't be a good idea for the driver and guide to just talk and leave the other passengers alone, some of whom were sleeping.
The time on the road passed quickly. Luo Qing took a nap and secretly familiarized himself with the tour guide of Yinhuai Village without telling the tourists.
Although I had already seen it last night, I hadn't been here for a few years. Yinhuai Village has changed so much. It has developed a series of characteristic cultural tourism projects. The variety of projects in this small village shocked Luo Qing.
"We've arrived at Yinhuai Village. Let's enter the village now—" The driver, Brother Qi, knew that Luo Qing hadn't been here for a long time, so he took the initiative to speak.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the players immediately looked out the window and took a look at the surrounding environment.
Luo Qing was in the passenger seat and could see the scene directly in front of him without any obstruction.
Her eyes brightened and she opened her mouth. Compared to a few years ago when there was only a small stone tablet when she entered the village, the entrance of Yinhuai Village is now much larger.
The road at the entrance of the village is lined with dense locust trees on both sides. They are very tall and strong, with swaying branches and green leaves, covering the sky and blocking the sun, which looks very shady.
Luo Qing had put on his microphone again and was introducing the tourists: "As the saying goes, a locust tree in front of your door means money will roll in. Dear tourists, we are now passing through the ancient locust tree gate of Yinshan Village. I wish everyone here even more wealth."
The tour guide spoke auspicious words in a relaxed tone, but the players' faces did not look happy at all. Instead, they looked uglier.
There are so many locust trees here, and they are at the entrance of the village. The key to this copy must be closely related to the locust trees.
Ancient locust trees, and if there are any ancient rituals, it is most likely a sacrifice related to the locust tree.
Ancient village in the mountains, ancient village sacrifice, this kind of copy has the highest mortality rate!
After passing through the locust tree forest, the minibus stopped in a large courtyard in the village, and Luo Qing immediately organized the passengers.
"Dear passengers, we have arrived at the farmhouse where we are staying. Please get off the bus first if you are near the door, and we will pass on your luggage later."
Liu Yanran was closest to the entrance, so she got off the car first and stood next to the tour guide, observing the environment of the farmhouse.
This farmyard is square in layout. The house is made of blue bricks and tiles, and is only one-story, but it is connected to form a long strip. It is worth noting that there is also a big locust tree in front of the gate in the center.
The luggage was unloaded one after another, and Luo Qing waved her little red flag, "Everyone, please give me your ID. Let's prepare for dinner first. I'll go and check in in advance."
Luo Qing is also very familiar with the current courtyard. The farmhouse was arranged here three years ago. However, it was a red brick house at that time. Now it has been changed to green bricks and black tiles, which has a bit of ancient charm.
"ID? Eh." The seven players were rummaging through the documents, but Liu Yanran had already found it in her pocket. It was made of a material similar to a real ID card, and it said "Temporary Citizen ID Card".
However, the black and white avatar looked particularly unlucky. The ID on the certificate was the player's ID serial number. What caught her attention most was the address on the certificate.
Because she was very close to Luo Qing, Liu Yanran could see clearly every time a player handed over their ID.
She quickly scanned the address on each temporary citizen card. The address for all players was the same - Utopia.
Utopia, Utopia, for the dungeon, is this the identity of the players?
"Come on, everyone follow me." After counting the documents and making sure they were correct, Luo Qing led the people forward.
Entering from the main gate of the farmhouse, on the left is the dining area with a large table, several large rotating tables, and several small private rooms covered by sliding doors.
"Box number one is ours. Everyone, please go in and take a seat. The food will be served soon. Just leave your luggage in the lobby."
After sending the passengers into the compartment, Luo Qing hurriedly went to find someone to serve the food. She and the driver would not eat with the tourists.
The NPC's figure disappeared, and in box number one, the players in the car who didn't dare to communicate loudly and expose themselves immediately started to communicate.
"This should be a subordinate copy of Tuming Travel Agency. Has anyone read the strategy guide posted on the forum?" He Zimei, the oldest player among the seven, took the initiative to speak.
"I've seen it." A strong voice sounded.
The person who spoke was a dark-skinned boy who looked like a college student. He was thin and his dark skin made him look like a skinny monkey. His strong voice formed a sharp contrast with his image.
"I've read the forum post from Yinhuai Village, but the situation is different from now. In that post, the poster said that players came to the farmyard to visit and experience farming, picking, and fishing. There was no mention of ceremony at all." said the skinny monkey.
"It seems that this dungeon has been reset." A trendy female player with pink hair and a nose ring spoke.
She has heavy makeup on her face, which makes it hard to tell her age.
"Knock, knock, knock—" There was a sudden knock on the sliding door, and the player, who hadn't said a word, immediately shut up.
An aunt in an apron pushed a cart over and started serving the dishes. In a short while, eight dishes, a soup and a bowl of rice were served on the large rotating table for seven people.
"The dishes are ready." The auntie opened the door and left quickly, but no player in the private room dared to pick up the chopsticks without permission.
Ding!
A copy reminder that was engraved in the players' bones sounded, and the text and sound appeared in front of their eyes and ears at the same time.
Dear travelers, welcome to Yinhuai Village! I believe this three-day, two-night journey will be unforgettable.
[While touring the village, please observe local customs and participate in all village rituals.]
To better experience the village's customs, please visit at least two scenic spots daily. Join the villagers in pre-ceremony preparations for even more surprises.
[Now, please enjoy your first lunch in Yinhuai Village.]
The seven players looked solemn, and the Yinhuai Village dungeon officially began at this moment!
