Chapter 30 Chapter 30 The Wonderful Museum 3
Players expected that the exhibits in this strange museum would change.
But this thing can move and run by itself, isn’t it a bit outrageous!
Liu Yanran was following Luo Qing closely at this moment. Although she guessed that she would not be in any danger like the players, it was still better for her to follow her closely.
"Huh?" Luo Qing's explanation was interrupted by the tourists' actions and he immediately began to organize order.
“Please refrain from making noise in the exhibition hall.”
"The shroud exhibit we just saw is gone." A player stared at Luo Qing, trying to get information from her expression.
"Oh?" Luo Qing took a look and nodded, "Yes, it's gone."
"It's okay, let's continue to visit the next exhibit."
Liu Yanran and the players on the side:?
"The exhibit is gone, is that okay?" a female player wearing a houndstooth top asked.
"The exhibits in the museum are free to move around. It's boring to stay in the exhibition hall for a long time. I'm going out for a walk. It's okay. I'll be back soon." Luo Qing's tone was as usual, and he didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
"It's normal to slack off at work, right? We've already finished watching it."
Luo Qing gave them a strange look. "Isn't that how it is in your museum? Exhibits also have exhibition rights."
After these words were spoken, the crowd fell silent.
Ning Ruyi smiled and said, "The museum here is more unique than ours. Excuse me."
"That is to say, this zombie exhibit may leave and leave its post in the future?" The person who spoke at this time was Aunt Tian Fang, the oldest person in the group.
"Yes." Luo Qing gave an affirmative answer.
At this moment, the players also understood that the so-called exhibit interaction actually meant real "interaction" and the exhibits could really move.
Being interrupted by the tourists, Luo Qing had forgotten what she was talking about. She led the group to the next exhibit that was surrounded on all sides.
"Now, look to my right. On display here is a very precious collection from the Anxi Exhibition Hall—the Wangong sedan chair. As you can see, the entire sedan chair is very ornately decorated. It was used by people in the past to carry their daughters on their wedding day. It looks like a miniature palace..."
It was indeed a magnificent sedan chair, but to the players, the dark red and gold-woven, intricately decorated sedan looked particularly eerie in the dimly lit exhibition hall. Its tiny carriage made one wonder if it could even hold a person. Or perhaps, just how petite were married women in the past?
Just by looking at it, one can imagine a series of Chinese horror stories related to feudal superstition.
The sedan chair is decorated with carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes. You can see mandarin ducks playing in the water, auspicious dragons and phoenixes, magpies flying around... and there are also many jade pendants and tassels decorations.
"This ancient Wangong sedan chair is very rare nowadays. Are there any tourists who want to go in and experience it? Raise your hands!" Luo Qing encouraged.
The riding experience of this Wangong sedan is quite popular.
There was silence in the exhibition hall. "Huh? No one wants to experience it? It's free." Luo Qing emphasized.
"Let me experience it." Ning Ruyi had a smile on her face.
Seeing that the person who signed up was a male tourist, Luo Qing couldn't help but frown. It was not that she was picky, but, the tourist was too tall!
"Dear tourist, you are really tall. But the height limit for the Wangong sedan chair is generally below 165 cm. I'm afraid you can't experience this project." Luo Qing explained.
Under 1.65 meters! As soon as Luo Qing announced the height limit, the eight players immediately split into teams.
Ning Ruyi felt quite regretful after hearing Luo Qing's words: "Really? I really want to experience it. It's such a pity. Being too tall is really troublesome."
Luo Qing:......
Liu Yanran: ...
"Can I try it?" Aunt Tian Fang, who was highlighted because of her height, stood out from a group of players. She was less than 1.6 meters tall, thin, and looked a little skinny.
She was wearing a simple loose short-sleeved shirt, long trousers and cloth shoes.
"I'm short, so I should be able to fit in. This kind of sedan chair was only available to wealthy families in ancient times. I never thought I'd be able to try it in this lifetime."
Tian Fang is the oldest player present, 53 years old. In reality, she is old enough to retire, but she has not saved enough money for retirement and continues to work. Unexpectedly, she was also chosen by this sudden and strange copy.
The good news is that she is now an official part-time employee and has social security without having to work everywhere. The bad news is that even with stable social security every month, she doesn't know how long she can get it.
I worked hard for my children, family and parents in the first half of my life, but since I became a "player", I can be myself.
After all, people may die at any time, so every day you live is for yourself.
Tian Fang really wanted to ride in this sedan chair.
In front of the Wangong sedan chair, Luo Qing helped her open the partition. Aunt Tian Fang thought about it and took off her cloth shoes.
Although this thing is in a strange world, it is a precious exhibit in the museum after all, so don't dirty it.
Tian Fang used her rough hands to lift the pearl curtain of the Wangong sedan chair. She was too thin, so she crawled in by half-kneeling and squatting, then turned around and sat down.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful."
Tian Fang sighed sincerely. She didn't feel the space in the sedan chair was cramped at all. It was located on both sides of her body. In fact, there were small windows on both sides of the sedan chair, but these small windows were covered with a layer of gauze.
Look carefully above, from the outside of the sedan chair it looks like the eaves of a small palace, and from inside the sedan chair there is also a high-ceilinged space with layers of pearl curtains hanging on it!
Suddenly, Tian Fang felt her shoulders sink, and the pearl curtain above seemed to fall on her.
No, that's not right.
This thing fell on her shoulder, feeling both light and heavy. Tian Fang thought of when she was cleaning at the university, and she saw the graduated girls using something like this to take pictures. What was it called? It was called Yunjian, right?
A woman with a blurry face appeared in front of Tian Fang. Her head was covered and her face was vaguely visible, but her bright lips could be seen clearly.
The woman was dressed in a bridal gown, draped with a pearl-draped shoulder-length gown. She was extremely gorgeous. Although she had a veil covering her face, Tian Fang seemed to see her holding a round fan, her face half-smiling and half-angry, as she looked at her: "Is this sedan comfortable to sit in?"
Tian Fang was stunned for a moment, then answered honestly, "It's okay, a little uncomfortable on the butt, but at least there's a place to sit."
The wedding dress woman was obviously amused by this answer, "Don't you usually have a place to sit?"
"Now that I'm here, I have it. I didn't have it before," Tian Fang replied.
"That pearl is so beautiful. How about giving it to you?" the woman in the wedding dress asked again.
Tian Fang touched the pearl shoulder bag around her neck and said, "It's so beautiful."
"But I can't use it. It's too heavy and it squeezes my neck, making it difficult to work."
Even when faced with strangeness, she would not lie, but would only tell the truth.
The woman in the wedding dress covered her mouth and laughed non-stop, with her veil half rolled up, revealing her white nose and red lips.
"Then try this." She handed Tian Fang a piece of rouge flower.
Tian Fang looked at the red piece of paper and felt the special texture in her hand. It took her a moment to realize that this was the lipstick paper used by the ladies in ancient times when they got married in TV dramas.
Being in the dungeon, she dared not disobey the strange order. She took the rouge petal, wrapped it around her lips, and rubbed it hard.
The woman in the wedding dress looked at her and couldn't help laughing any longer, so she covered her stomach with her hands.
"Sister, you really make me laugh..."
In the narrow Wangong sedan, the conversation continued, while outside the sedan, Liu Yanran and the seven players were staring at it.
"Why is there no sound after entering?"
"Auntie Tian? Auntie Tian? Are you okay?" Ye Fan called out at this moment.
The other players looked puzzled. Some of them secretly glanced at Luo Qing. Could this NPC attack players so blatantly?
What kind of forum post is that? I'm afraid it's meant to harm people!
Liu Yan was also a little anxious, but because of her trust in Luo Qing, she didn't say anything.
Based on her experience in the Yinhuai Village dungeon, what seems "normal" to Luo Qing is most likely abnormal in the eyes of players and may seem dangerous, but generally speaking, it will not pose a life-threatening threat.
Feeling the tourists' gazes towards him, Luo Qing couldn't help but point: "What are you looking at me for? You'll be out in a moment."
“The experience session is interactive.”
Interaction?!
"Is this how to interact with exhibits?" asked the young male college student, his name was He Xiaoxiao.
"Yeah. You all didn't want to go up just now, and I thought you didn't like playing these." Luo Qing scratched his head.
As they were talking, everyone saw the door of Wangong sedan suddenly open, and a hand that looked exceptionally cold and white under the dim light pushed aside the tassels above. The next second, Aunt Tian Fang got out of the sedan.
"Huh." Liu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief. She knew there was no problem.
"Auntie Tian, are you okay?" Ye Fan went to support her, his eyes immediately fixed on the stamped book in Tian Fang's hand.
She remembered that when Tian Fang went in, she was clearly empty-handed and put the stamp book in her trouser pocket, but when she came out she was holding it in her hand. Could it be... that she had stamped it!
"It's okay." Tian Fang subconsciously wiped her lips.
"Okay, the first experiencer is out. Time is limited. Friends who want to experience it later can come after the explanation in this exhibition hall is over. I will leave some time for everyone." Luo Qing glanced at his watch to calculate the time.
"Behind the Wangong sedan chair, the next thing we see is the embroidery area, especially the one with the mirror on the left hand side, which is double-sided embroidery." Luo Qing continued to lead the way forward.
On the other side, several players had already gathered around Aunt Tian Fang. "Auntie, what happened when you entered that sedan just now? Did you get the stamp?"
Tian Fang nodded.
"What's going on in there? There must be something weird!" The speaker was a male player named Lin Lien, who was also the shortest among the boys present. Coincidentally, he was exactly 165 cm tall.
"Yes, I have. I don't know how it was stamped. I just answered whatever you asked." Tian Fang said.
To be honest, she was still a little confused when she came out. The pretty girl was not weird at all like the ones she had seen before. She just asked a few questions and then laughed non-stop. After she licked the lipstick paper, the girl said she wanted to take a lip print.
Tian Fang had no choice but to take out the stamped book, and let the wedding dress girl out after she had printed it.
"The lecturer has gone too far, let's catch up quickly." Although she stamped the document herself, Aunt Tian Fang did not dare to relax and quickly told the children to follow Luo Qing.
She is old and tries hard to remember every copy prompt. This time, Tian Fang remembered clearly that she had to follow the tour guide to visit the exhibition hall and the order could not be wrong.
When Luo Qing was explaining the double-sided embroidery one by one, Liu Yanran, who was paying attention to the players on the side, discovered that the shroud that had previously left its job to slack off appeared. The male player named Ning Ruyi took the initiative to go up and seemed to be chatting with the shroud.
Liu Yanran stared for a while, then turned around and found that two more players were missing.
There were five people surrounding Luo Qing, listening attentively to the explanation. Ye Fan and Lin Lien were missing!
Her expression changed slightly. After Luo Qing finished explaining the display case in front of them, Liu Yanran immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Two tourists didn't catch up."
She didn't dare to say directly that the player was missing. What if she said it was missing and Luo Qing told her that there were only six tourists?
"Huh? I guess he's looking at the exhibits by himself." Luo Qing said calmly.
Tourists don’t like to listen to the explanation, or are not interested in the current part, or want to stop somewhere to take pictures. This has often happened in the past. The audience who gathered together to listen to the explanation at the beginning disappeared as they walked, and some even left the exhibition hall long ago.
"It's okay. Either wait for us in the front, or we can go out of the exhibition hall and wait for a while." Luo Qing waved his hand. It was impossible to find anyone in the exhibition hall, and he couldn't delay the progress of the explanation.
"Come on, everyone, follow me now. We have to hurry up. Next up is the embroidery screen display area [Threading the Needle], where you can interact with it."
When they heard that there was an interaction in front, the other players didn’t care where the disappeared people went. They hadn’t stamped their place in this exhibition hall yet.
Aunt Tian Fang, on the other hand, was not in a hurry after stamping the document. She followed and looked at Liu Yanran, the unknown NPC, not knowing whether she should speak or not.
It wasn't until Liu Yanran walked up to her and asked that Tian Fang whispered, "They should be going to the sedan chair."
The embroidery area was separated from the sedan area by a large bend. Upon hearing this, Liu Yanran could only sigh in her heart. She knew without thinking that the two players who had left wanted to try to stamp the place.
Follow Luo Qing closely, follow Luo Qing closely! Don’t listen to a word of what Mo Fei said in that post! Luo Qing didn’t take the initiative when she asked you to experience it before, but now she knows she’s anxious.
In the embroidery area, upon learning that there was an opportunity for "interaction", the five players here all took action.
This is an area surrounded by embroidered screens. There is a long table with needles and thread, and a basket of small "embroidery frames".
Tu Nan picked up an embroidery frame and took out the needle and thread to quickly thread the needle. The embroidery frame she was holding already had a semi-finished flower pattern with the outline already outlined.
He thought about it and interacted with the exhibits. The exhibits in this exhibition area were embroidery.
Holding the needle, thread and embroidery frame in his hands, he walked tentatively towards one of the embroidery screens.
Because Tu Nan noticed that the embroidered screen was decorated with hundreds of flowers! He was good at handicrafts and had made scarves and sweaters for everyone in the family, and even took over the cross-stitch that his mother hadn't had the patience to finish.
On this embroidered screen of flowers, Tu Nan was searching for the pattern on the embroidery frame and found it!
He was about to reach out to touch it, but suddenly a roll of thread stretched out from the screen and pulled his fingers away.
This is interaction! It works! Tu Nan's eyes lit up.
If he couldn't be allowed to touch the screen, then he could at least touch the embroidery frame in his hand! The thread that Tu Nan was threading was gray, and the tip of the needle in his hand was about to touch the embroidery frame, when another needle flew out from the embroidery screen, as if in a state of exasperation.
A light yellow thread had already been threaded onto the needle, and it was obvious that it matched the pattern on the embroidery frame.
Tu Nan understood. He grasped the needle and began to embroider the edge. If he misplaced the stitch, the needle would prick his neck, a thorn in his back. Tu Nan thought this was much lighter than the one Rong Mama had pricked him with. There was no splint.
He was so focused on completing the embroidery in front of him that he had no time to pay attention to what other players were doing. He didn't know how much time had passed, but the little yellow flower on the small embroidery frame was finished.
Tu Nan watched the needle that came out of the screen dance twice, as if in celebration.
He took out his stamp book, and the needle stopped in the air again, as if in a daze.
No way, no way? They won’t stamp it, will they? He groaned inwardly.
A moment later, Tu Nan saw the embroidery frame in his hand being snatched away, and a pair of not-so-good-looking hands suddenly stretched out from the embroidery screen, touched the small yellow flower, and flicked a finger, and the flower fell on his stamp book.
Done!
Tu Nan breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to express his gratitude. No matter what other players said, he had stamped this one and there was no danger.
He immediately walked out from the embroidered screen and found that the tour guide and other players were gone. Damn, what time is it? He must have exceeded the time limit. The joy of getting the stamp just now was wiped out, and Tu Nan walked forward along the arrow on the ground in a panic.
After turning two corners, he didn't even look at the exhibits carefully, and finally saw another female NPC next to Luo Qing. Tu Nan walked forward quickly.
"Excuse me, where are the others? Am I late?"
"I've been waiting for you for so long." Liu Yanran looked at him. "When I called you, you couldn't even hear me. The others couldn't continue embroidering, so the teacher took them to the front first."
"Didn't you go to the next exhibition hall?" Tu Nan asked hurriedly.
"No, there were a few tourists who wanted to look at it on their own, so they dispersed freely in the exhibition hall." There was some helplessness in Liu Yanran's words.
These players probably felt that Luo Qing's explanation affected their ability to freely explore and search for clues in the exhibition hall, so she took Tu Nan with her to meet up with Luo Qing. At this moment, there were only three people surrounding Luo Qing, including the one she brought with her!
Tian Fang, Ning Ruyi, and Tu Nan.
Ning Ruyi somehow got a stamp from the funeral clothes exhibit, which immediately made the other players excited. It turned out that it was not a necessary "experience" project that Luo Qing had introduced.
The two players who left at the beginning have not returned yet. Just now when the players proposed to disperse, Liu Yanran finally couldn't help but speak up to persuade them, but the result was counterproductive.
I can’t carry it, I really can’t carry it!
No, there is no player who is blind enough to believe that post!
If this continues, Liu Yanran no longer dares to imagine the survival rate of this copy.
The sky is falling! This is the first exhibition hall!
But Liu Yanran knew that this state of the dungeon was the norm faced by most players. Because they suspected that the NPC had bad intentions, they would shake off the NPC to look for clues and explore the map unless the dungeon was mandatory.
The players act independently, and it is considered good if they can form two or three small groups without any confrontation.
"Woohoo, I'm back." Female player Zhao Jiayi said excitedly, jogging back with a stamp book in her hand.
She got the stamp.
The next exhibition area in the exhibition hall is related to coins, including gold and silver ingots, Tiandi Bank, and various paper-made items.
Zhao Jiayi saw a familiar object - yellow paper and an instrument used to punch copper coins.
You know, every year during the Chinese New Year, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and festivals related to the Cold Clothes Festival, she would see her father take out this thing to "make money" and send money to the ancestors in the underworld.
Zhao Jiayi had watched it many times since she was a child, and she was very envious and wanted to try it, but she was told that girls were not strong enough to do it.
Although she didn't know whether this strange world also burned paper for the dead, she rushed over in a fit of rage. By the time others reacted, she had already slapped out many pages of copper coin petitions in her hands.
Then, she thought that since it was an interactive stamping session, she stamped her own stamp book as well.
It works, it really works, it’s really printed.
Therefore, Zhao Jiayi was overjoyed at the moment. This first chapter came very easily.
[Rest] The exhibition hall's tour officially started at 9:30, and it is now 10:30, and the lunch break is at 12:00. Before that, they still have to go to the second exhibition hall.
"Let's keep going forward, or if you're tired, you can go directly to the entrance of the exhibition hall. There are rest areas there for you to wait for others." Luo Qing said as he looked at the remaining people.
The exhibition hall of the museum doesn't look very big, and you can quickly see it in a hurry. However, due to the special ground surface, walking back and forth here is actually very tiring and it is easy to get leg pain.
"Luo Qing, please explain. How long will it take to wait for the second exhibition hall? Can you tell us in advance what the next exhibition hall will contain?" Ning Ruyi spoke at this moment.
He has a dislike for idiots. In his opinion, the players who haven't returned yet will basically never come back, and there is no need to waste his time waiting for them.
Unfortunately, this copy requires you to follow the instructions and enter the hall in order, which really restricts some actions.
"Come on, let's go to the door and wait for another fifteen minutes. I can tell you in advance about the next exhibition hall. It's porcelain!"
Porcelain?!
Is there something special on the porcelain? Or are they just a bunch of porcelain ghosts?
The things in the weird copies are always too special. Before you actually see them, there are often boundaries that are beyond your imagination.
One minute, two minutes...ten minutes!
Liu Yanran stared at the time on her mobile phone. There were only five minutes left. Would any other players come out?
There are only two men and two women left. If half of the first exhibition hall is destroyed, how many will survive?
Liu Yanran could only observe that the players had to complete a "stamp" in a certain sense, which had to be completed by interacting with the exhibits in the exhibition hall, but how to interact and how to obtain the "recognition" of the exhibits was a mystery with no standard answer.
Just when her mood hit rock bottom, a voice came from the entrance of the exhibition hall.
"Auntie Tian? Zhao Jiayi? Tu Nan? Tour guide? Is anyone here?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Aunt Tian waved immediately, and Tu Nan also responded.
The one who came out was the female player wearing houndstooth, her name was Cai Xia.
She took a deep breath at this moment and walked quickly to the four players.
"Has it been stamped?" Aunt Tian Fang asked hurriedly.
Cai Xia nodded. If she couldn't cover it up, she might not be able to get out at all. Zhao Jiayi noticed that there were traces of pulling on Cai Xia's clothes.
"What's wrong with the clothes?" she asked.
Cai Xia whispered, "Ye Fan and He Xiaoxiao didn't have the stamp. They wanted to steal it, but it was useless. The stamp book is back to me."
Zhao Jiayi's eyes widened! She didn't know this information. Fortunately, the place where she stamped the stamp was not far away, otherwise if she were to run into other players, a fight would probably be unavoidable.
Thank goodness, thank goodness the stamped book couldn't be snatched away! Otherwise, they worked so hard to stamp it, and everything would be lost to others!
Liu Yanran's eyes flickered. Cai Xia mentioned Ye Fan and He Xiaoxiao, but did not mention Lin Lien. This male player might have met with an accident.
"Okay, the others haven't come out yet, but we're running out of time. Anyway, we've already told them to have lunch in the restaurant, so let's go to the second exhibition hall." Luo Qing waved his hand.
Liu Yanran still fell a little behind her, allowing her to hear the players' discussion.
"Where did you get the stamp? They couldn't find it?" Tu Nan asked.
"I thought about it and decided that the key exhibits I was explaining would likely be interactive, so I went back to look for that zombie."
"Fuck, Sister Xia, you are this!" Tu Nan immediately gave a thumbs up. The zombie really scared him at that time.
"I have no other choice. I have to give it a try," said Cai Xia.
The first and second exhibition halls are very close to each other and only take half a minute to walk there.
The moment they stepped into the exhibition hall, Liu Yanran and several players paused almost at the same time.
As far as the eye can see, there is a celadon vase that is about the length of an arm.
There is a girl's head with a bun at the mouth of the vase. When she saw them, the young girl on the vase had a pretty face and smiled.
"Dear visitors, welcome to the second exhibition hall - Interlaced."
