Chapter 29 Chapter 29 The Wonderful Museum 2
Liu Yanran was staring at the gate at this moment, waiting for the players to arrive.
Although Luo Qing said that she could wander around on her own, Liu Yanran was still very cautious and did not act on her own. After all, it was still unclear what her personal position in this copy was.
Is he a player? Or is he assisting the indigenous NPC Luo Qing?
Someone is coming!
The first time she looked at the players from an "observer's" perspective, she found that the players' characteristics were so obvious that they were very easy to identify.
The local residents of Guicheng either walk in groups of three or four, or as a family, or visit alone, or in small organized groups with a leader.
And the players? They are often a strange mix of ages, and they don't look like they are from the same family.
Their faces were full of vigilance. They were not familiar with each other, but almost all of them were looking around, as if they were looking for something.
“There! I see them, the yellow vests! Over there!”
Liu Yanran heard a player's distinct voice at this moment. She blinked. Yellow vest, did the players receive the dungeon notification?
As expected, my current identity as a temporary resident of Ghost City is completely different from the players' perspective.
She quickly walked to Luo Qing's side and said, "Sister Luo Qing, it seems that our members have arrived."
At this moment, Luo Qing was talking to the beautiful women at the tour guide desk. They were all laughing so hard that they were rolling on the floor. One of the beauties in particular was holding her stomach and tilting her head back, showing her dense teeth.
When Luo Ting heard who was coming, she immediately put away the smile on her face.
"Ah, someone's coming."
She turned around and said to the beauties, "I'm going to lead the group first. We'll talk later."
"Sister Luo Qing, are these all friends you knew before?" Liu Yanran asked in a low voice.
"Yes, yes. Being a tour guide at a museum doesn't pay much, but it's a stable job. I used to be able to eat for free as a volunteer, and the food in the museum cafeteria is really good. Sometimes my husband is busy and I come over alone, so I share the table with these young ladies, grabbing seats and getting the best food."
Liu Yanran immediately understood that occupying seats and grabbing food, and dining together were indeed more than just ordinary friends.
In just a few words, a group of players had come to Luo Qingshen, who was wearing a yellow vest.
Before the player could speak, Luo Qing looked at the list on his phone.
"Eight people, today's all-day museum tour, right? I'll call out the names, Tu Nan."
Luo Qing looked at the list and began to call out names. Immediately, a male player raised his hand, "Here."
"Lin Lien... Ning Ruyi."
The eight players consisted of four men and four women. The oldest was an aunt with half-gray hair, and the youngest was a college student. The age range was huge.
Among the eight people in this group, the most outstanding one was a male player named Ning Ruyi, with outstanding looks and height. Liu Yanran took a look at him and then looked away.
The reason why she paid attention to him was because she felt that the name Ning Ruyi seemed to have been heard somewhere, but she couldn't remember where it was at the moment.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let me introduce myself as today's museum tour guide."
"My name is Luo Qing. Starting from 9:30 this morning until 12:00 noon, I will take you to visit the first two exhibition halls of this themed study tour. There is a visitor cafeteria in the Wonderful Museum. You can go there to eat from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm. Starting from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm, we will visit the remaining two exhibition halls."
Luo Qing spoke at a moderate speed. This study tour group consisted of eight people, and the unit price was relatively low, but due to the large number of people, the minimum income for the day was nearly one thousand Gui coins.
After she finished explaining the schedule, she noticed several tourists staring at her.
"What's wrong? Does anyone have any questions?"
"Excuse me, are you still selling your house?" a female player spoke very quickly.
Hearing this question, Luo Qing was stunned. My goodness, has her reputation spread so widely now? Who is promoting her?
"I do have a part-time job as a real estate agent, but my current identity is everyone's interpreter." Since he was asked, Luo Qing told the truth.
"Oh, this is the stamped booklet the company gives to every visitor. It's a gift for this museum tour, and only one per person."
Luo Qing gestured to Liu Yanran to open the small package and distribute the stamped books.
"Okay, now please follow me, we are going to enter the first exhibition hall." Luo Qing waved.
As the NPC in front of them admitted that he was a real estate agent, some players exchanged glances with each other, but some were still a little confused. On the way to the exhibition hall, they whispered to the players next to them, especially looking at the girl who had spoken earlier.
"Is there something wrong with this NPC? How do we know she's a real estate agent? Has she appeared in other instances?"
"Didn't you read the forum posts?"
"What post?"
"The hottest post, one poster said they met an NPC named Luo Qing in a dungeon, and it's best to follow her to increase your survival rate."
"There are three or four other players from different dungeons who have come out to share their experiences."
"Is it true? Why am I so unconvinced?"
Liu Yanran deliberately lagged behind Luo Qing by a few steps so that she could overhear the players' conversation. As expected, she overheard the discussion, and her mind was in turmoil. She just hoped that these players could be more stable. If one more person believed the content of the post, one more person would survive.
She really wanted to turn around and tell these players that she was an official, but it was just a thought.
Firstly, her current identity was not convincing, and she didn't even know what the dungeon tasks the players had accepted were. Secondly, the eight players each had their own thoughts, and she took the initiative to expose her "player" identity. She didn't know if she would be considered to have violated the rules or something.
In the weird dungeon, it is rare for players to be of one mind.
"If you follow the process and the NPC, you should be able to complete the four exhibition halls. The key is the stamp."
"I've got four halls stamped, and the dungeon prompt says I need to interact, but what the hell am I supposed to interact with?"
The stamped book was not big, only the length of an adult's palm. The printed cover was extremely perfunctory and looked very cheap. Inside were four pages of blank paper.
"The key is that we follow the NPC, two exhibition halls in the morning and two exhibition halls in the afternoon. If we don't build enough, we can't get out. Even if we want to sneak away to build one ourselves, it won't work." Tu Nan said.
"The copy prompt said that we should visit the exhibition halls in order."
The posts on the forum made everyone half-believing and half-doubting Luo Qing, and some even completely disbelieved him. They discussed the requirements for stamping for a long time and were worried about the task of stamping.
The only one who felt relaxed was Ning Ruyi, who was walking at the end of the team. He looked at the "team leader NPC" Luo Qing in front of him with interest.
Of course he had read the posts on the [Rugui] forum. As for the content of the posts, Ning Ruyi did not comment. But when he really met the indigenous people mentioned in the post, his interest was immediately piqued.
It's interesting that NPCs can appear in multiple copies.
However, he was not in a hurry. Ning Ruyi glanced at the seven players walking in front of him. There were so many guinea pigs here, so he could try them slowly.
As for the other person who didn't even have a name and was following behind Luo Qing and was suspected to be an ordinary NPC, he didn't take him seriously at all.
Luo Qing had already reached the entrance of the exhibition hall. She gathered the eight visitors and said, "Hello everyone, we are about to enter the first exhibition of today's study tour, the Hall of Rest!"
She didn't need to say anything; the players standing in front of the exhibition hall could see the huge word "Rest" (Rest in Peace). Is it really okay to have an exhibition hall in a museum named like this?
The lighting in the exhibition hall is dim, giving people a dark feeling. When you first come in, you can't see any relevant introduction. Especially after the players walk into the exhibition hall, they immediately find that the other indigenous NPCs who were originally in the museum have disappeared.
In the huge exhibition hall, only the players and two leading NPCs were left.
"Rest Hall, as the name suggests, is where people rest after death. Therefore, the entire Hall of Rest displays the afterlife and various utensils."
"Everyone, look to my right now. Come, come a little closer. You can clearly see that this is the opening treasure of our Hall of Repose. As soon as you come in, you will know that everyone who comes to view the exhibition today will get more than their money's worth."
Luo Qing spoke in an excited tone, raising his hand to point at the coffin in the hall and the various urns in the display cabinets on both sides.
Liu Yanran's face was expressionless at the moment, and she even felt a sense of familiarity looking at the sarcophagus. It had to be said that ever since her trip to Yinhuai Village, especially after acquiring her own prop coffin, she no longer felt scared by the sight of this thing.
"Excuse me, is this the most precious treasure in this exhibition hall? No, is it the collection? Are there treasures in all four exhibition halls?" The person who spoke was still the female player who first asked Luo Qing. Liu Yanran remembered that her name was Ye Fan.
Her eyes flickered as she inquired about the "treasures of the museum" in the four exhibition halls. It seemed that they must be related to the players' tasks.
"Huh? No." Luo Qing smiled when he heard that.
She had seen many such impatient tourists when she was a volunteer tour guide. Many tourists were just attracted by the "treasures of the museum" they saw somewhere on the Internet, and they had to check in and take photos to make the trip worthwhile.
"Every collection in the museum has its own unique features. For every visitor, the favorite treasure may be different," she replied.
Ye Fan was slightly disappointed when he received this answer, but he wasn't too surprised. If he could get the answer from the NPC so quickly, it wouldn't be a weird dungeon.
Walking past the coffins and various urns, Luo Qing focused on selecting the more typical collections in each category for explanation.
"Look everyone, this is a typical burial garment. We say that the dead cannot be resurrected. To allow our ancestors to leave without worries, the burial garment must be buttonless."
What was displayed in front of everyone was a brown shroud with wrinkles and signs of wear, which made the players frown involuntarily, thinking it was unlucky.
Liu Yanran was a little stunned when she heard Luo Qing's words. People have no attachments after death, so there are no buttons on the burial clothes. But in the "sewing" project in Yinhuai Village, every player is required to sew buttons and buttons.
"Teacher Luo, is there a place in this exhibition hall where I can get a stamp?" another player asked.
"To get a stamp, you have to wait until we finish explaining it. There's a table opposite the entrance of the exhibition hall with special stamps for sale." Luo Qing answered familiarly, but he was a little confused.
The guests in this group were anxious to see the museum's treasures and get stamps. If they were only so "utilitarian", there would be no need to sign up for the guided tour. It would be better for them to wander around on their own.
When the players heard the answer, the "stamping place" outside the exhibition hall was obviously wrong. The copy prompt clearly said that it was inside the exhibition hall and there had to be interaction. So, this "stamping" was obviously not that "stamping".
"In our legends, people have three souls and six spirits, the heart has seven orifices, and the body has five internal organs and six bowels... So there is a saying that after a person dies, the body must be buried intact, otherwise there will be no reincarnation." Luo Qing's tone seemed a little solemn at this moment.
"Look everyone, this is a complete body donated by enthusiastic people."
In a rectangular display case covered with only a thin layer of glass, a humanoid zombie appeared before the eyes of eight players.
It's impossible to tell whether it's a man or a woman, but the skin on his face is like a patchwork of skins from various families, with each piece seeming slightly different.
“Fuck!”
"Look!"
A player avoided the zombies, but when he turned around, he suddenly found that the shroud hanging in the air at the last exhibit being explained was gone!
The zombie in the display case in front of him seemed to have heard these words. At this moment, his lips and side face with obvious scars tilted visibly for a moment!
It seems like... it's watching the fun!
