Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Renhe Art Museum 4
interactive.
The key to this copy is the interaction between players and exhibits.
Ma Yongfu had read the player guide for the [Wonderful Museum] dungeon. Although the two dungeons were different, they had something in common to a certain extent.
Players in the Wonderful Museum have to check in and get stamps in the four exhibition halls, and stamps must be obtained through interaction with the "exhibits".
Players at Renhe Art Museum have to complete questions in six exhibition areas.
"Interaction" is both a shortcut and a danger. If you want to finish answering the questions within the seven-hour copy time and write down the correct answers with a high probability, interaction is necessary.
Just like now, if Ma Yongfu had not completed this round of interaction with the little girl, he would never be able to find it even if he was beaten to death. This "office building" actually appeared in the reflection of his eyes!
However, the object of this "interaction" must also be chosen carefully.
If he had communicated with the person floating in the water before, whether he could have gotten the correct answer and what price he would have to pay were all unknown.
Ma Yongfu immediately went to the players who were still looking at the photographs one by one and searching carefully and whispered to them.
He had now completed a problem and could theoretically move on to the next section. However, the other players hadn't finished yet, and Ma Yongfu began searching for Luo Qing and Miss Liu.
"Uncle Ma." Mullet-haired Lin Lin also finished answering her first question.
"Have you found the office building?"
"I found it. It's the little girl that Luo Qing interacted with. I went to ask her." Ma Yongfu explained.
"So what are your plans? I think the others will be delayed for a while." Lin Lin asked directly.
There are eight players in one instance, but that doesn't mean they have to act together all the time. Everyone's life is in their own hands.
Only if she has answered all six questions with an 80% accuracy rate will Lin Lin consider helping other players.
But now, it’s not possible. The prerequisite for helping others is to take care of yourself first.
"If you plan to go to another exhibition hall, we can go together, it will be safer."
Hearing this, Ma Yongfu no longer hesitated, "Okay, Xiaolin, let's go together first. I've already told them that they can interact with these photos to get answers."
What can be done has been done. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God.
Two players, one old and one young, teamed up temporarily and began to think about the next location.
"How about going to Fan Ziju's personal illustration exhibition next? My second question is here." Lin Lin was quick-witted and suggested immediately.
"Okay, mine too."
Fan Ziju's personal illustration exhibition was on the second floor, and the two first went to tell Luo Qing and Liu Yanran about it.
"We've almost finished looking at the photography exhibition, so we plan to go look at the illustrations."
Luo Qing nodded, "Go ahead. If you're worried about not being able to contact me, you can send a message in the group."
Anyway, there is no need to take care of this group of tourists. Luo Qing is now posing in a relaxed manner while watching the exhibition, and Xiao Liu is squatting to take pictures of her.
"Sister, I took a lot of photos in a row. Can you see if there are any that can be used?" Liu Yanran pressed the shutter button frantically and stood up when she heard that the two players were about to leave.
"It's okay, I'll go back and edit it slowly. The lighting in this exhibition is not good, and people look weird." Luo Qing flipped through a few photos and could tell that Xiao Liu had tried his best, but the lighting in the exhibition area made people look dark.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see in this photography exhibition, let's go to the next one."
Neither Luo Qing nor Yan Fufeng had a passion for photography, but sometimes they would just snap something with their phones on a whim. The photos in this photography section were so diverse, it was enough to just look at them once.
But looking at it, there are still five or six tourists from the group who are still slowly looking at it. After all, they have paid. If Luo Qing had paid to come in, he would feel that he was at a disadvantage even if he only spent so little time to look at it.
"Fan Ziju's personal illustration exhibition."
Lin Lin was standing in front of the exhibition area, holding her answer sheet, feeling a little nervous.
There is no elevator from the first floor to the second floor. Instead, you have to walk up a large spiral staircase. Fortunately, there are signposts as you go up the stairs.
[Fan Ziju's Personal Illustration Exhibition] This exhibition area seems to be very large, with colorful standees standing upright. The style of the illustrations is more lifelike and bright, which is completely opposite to the gloomy black and white style she imagined.
"This looks normal, like the kind of personal illustrators serialize in magazines and on the Internet," said Ma Yongfu.
Lin Lin nodded, "What's your exam question?"
"In 'Fan Fan's Life of Living Alone in a Ghost City', she initially relied on several jobs to support herself. What were they?" Ma Yongfu read.
"My question is, on the first trip in the 'Fan Fan Goes Solo Travel' series, what did she carefully prepare that she left behind at home?"
Compared to the photography questions on the answer sheet, the questions in the illustration exhibition are more detailed and life-like.
Lin Lin wanted to say it would be easier to find this time, but she didn't say it because she didn't want to set a flag. The two of them walked into the illustration exhibition together and soon discovered that this section of the exhibition had far more visitors than the photography section.
This illustration exhibition area is somewhat unexpectedly normal. Single illustrations are displayed in glass cabinets. The colors are bright, the painting is exquisite, and the content is very interesting.
These paintings will not suddenly show a strange human face, but are a record of the illustrator's own life.
"Wow, this is Fanfan's book that I like the most. It's about the beginning of living alone, and a lot of the content is very touching."
"The last time I went on a cruise, I took this book with me on my solo trip."
The two players heard the discussion of other tourists and couldn't help but look at each other. This "Fan Ziju" seemed to be a relatively famous illustrator in Guicheng. These tourists came here specifically to see the original illustrations.
Lin Lin's heart moved, and she spoke to the other natives who had just overheard the conversation, "Hello, dear, I'd like to know where the illustration of Fan Fan traveling alone is located?"
She casually said, "I remember Fanfan's first trip was hilarious. He forgot to take everything he had carefully prepared."
"Hahaha, that's right. I specifically wrote down the power bank and medical kit in the memo, but I forgot about it. The travel illustration book should be over there." The speaker was also a young lady, pointing to the front right.
"Oh, thank you." Lin Lin immediately gave Uncle Ma a look. This exhibition area seemed to be very safe at the moment, and the answer could be obtained from the mouths of the indigenous people.
She heard the indigenous people still discussing, "I saw online that there would be signed books available for purchase at Fan Fan's illustration exhibition. I thought I came early enough, but in the end, I still didn't get a signed copy."
The boy who was talking was pounding his thighs violently, and a woman with a canvas bag on her back was talking to him.
"That's right. The museum says there are no scalpers, so I suspect their staff are secretly reselling them. There are so few signed copies of Fan Fan's illustrations. And the illustration books sold here are all regular price. There's no discount until you buy three or more."
"My favorite is 'Fan Fan's Life Observation Diary,' which contains the gossip she overheard every day while working in a cafe. Their work teams are also really fun. I remember there was a couple who were really cute."
This conversation made Lin Lin and Ma Yongfu a little dazed. If one didn't know better, they would have thought it was a scene performed by a famous painter in real life.
"I'll go buy some books." Ma Yongfu decided immediately.
There are many indigenous tourists in this exhibition area, and they are all queuing up next to the glass display cases. If players join them in the queue, they will only waste their time.
"Let's see if it's expensive and how many books there are." Lin Lin said.
This exhibition hall is currently very safe, and it should be a question that can be answered almost 100% correctly among the six questions. It is almost like a special benefit given by the copy.
"It would be best if we could buy them all. Let's go check out the prices."
There was no bookseller at the entrance where they came in. The two men guessed that it must be at the exit, so they hurriedly quickened their pace to avoid being squeezed in with the bustling crowd.
There was indeed a book sales area at the exit. There were three volumes of "Fan Fan's Life of Living Alone in a Haunted City", including "Fan Fan Travels Alone", "Fan Fan's Today's Food", "Fan Fan's Work Diary" and "Fan Fan's Life Observations", a total of seven illustrated books. The price of each book ranged from 25 to 50. Lin Lin and Ma Yongfu immediately decided to buy them.
"Uncle Ma, I want to buy a set for myself." Lin Lin spoke first.
Ma Yongfu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Okay, then I'll buy one for myself too."
The whole set has a 15% discount, and the seven illustrated books are priced at 225 yuan in total, and also comes with a free canvas bag and a blank illustrated book.
After buying them, the two squatted outside the illustration exhibition to open the packages and immediately began to look for their own topics.
"Huh, I found it. The question I asked is indeed about a power bank and a medical kit." Lin Lin breathed a sigh of relief. "But what the tourist said is not accurate. It's not called a medical kit. The illustration calls it an EDC portable tool kit." She quickly wrote down the answer to the second question on the answer sheet and copied it according to the illustration.
"I've found mine too. I have two jobs: working as a waiter in a cafe and a part-time art designer." Ma Yongfu was just about to put the illustration book into the canvas bag when he saw other players coming upstairs, including Luo Qing and the others.
"Eh? Why didn't you go in?" Shu Hao, with the afro, looked over.
Ma Yongfu immediately waved to them: "We bought an illustrated book. You don't need to go in, just come here to find the answers."
"Oh my god, that's great! That's amazing."
Lin Lin's eyes fell on the two players walking behind, Aunt Luo with a limp, and a boy with premature graying hair. Their faces were pale. As they got closer, Lin Lin could see more clearly that the boy seemed to be called Wang Zixuan. There was a circle of obvious black handprints on his wrists and neck!
Liu Yanran followed Luo Qing and walked over. They actually left the photography exhibition hall earlier than most of the players, but she deliberately delayed for a while and took Luo Qing to take pictures near the art installation on the first floor and the specially designed staircase until the group of players came out.
Fortunately, the remaining six people are here.
The eight players gathered together, chattering a bit. Female player Liu Haoran looked at the comic books that Lin Lin and Ma Yongfu had each bought, and spoke without thinking:
"Just buy one set, and everyone can pay the money."
"Seven books are hard to divide among the eight of us. Besides, we can take these away and read them. They might be useful when we rent a house in the future." Lin Lin said, holding up a book in her hand.
When these words came out, Liu Yanran was also stunned, because the players gathered together, and Lin Lin held up the book, so she could see clearly what it was.
"Fan Fan's Life of Living Alone in a Haunted City"!
Liu Yanran's heart sank. The contents of this book were probably about life in the ghost city.
As soon as Lin Lin said this, the players' breathing quickened.
Yes, if they plan to rent a house in Ghost City and get an identity, they don’t know anything about the taboos here. Although this may be an illustrated book published by the natives, it is definitely of reference value to the players.
"How many Gui coins are these books worth?"
"225 for a set, and it comes with this thing."
"It's better for each of us to buy one set."
After a quick exchange, the remaining six players all flocked into the illustration exhibition area, each preparing to buy the entire set of books.
"Sister, they are buying books, I want to go and take a look too." Liu Yanran said.
"Go ahead. There are probably a lot of people inside. I'll sit outside for a while." Luo Qing said.
After a while, she saw the tourists in the group rushing out with a stack of books in their arms, sitting down on the ground, and starting to flip through the books quickly to answer questions.
In this situation, Luo Qing couldn't help laughing. She took a photo with her mobile phone, thought for a while, walked into the exhibition hall again, looked at the surging crowd, took a live recording of the scene, and sent it to her friends.
【Luo Qing】：[Onsite photo.jpg]
【Luo Qing】：[Live video.mp4]
[Luo Qing]: Xiao Fan, it's been a few years since we last met. It's time to check on your readers and fans. [Chuckles]
Fan Ziju didn't reply, and Luo Qing was not surprised. At this time, Xiao Fan was probably still sleeping. Her schedule was not something that ordinary people could match.
The girl who used to work with me in a coffee shop is now a famous freelance illustrator. Luo Qing couldn't help but feel a little emotional, as everyone is heading towards a different future.
Liu Yanran successfully bought a complete set of illustrated books. Unfortunately, there was a purchase limit here, and each tourist could only buy one set, which made her feel regretful. She only hoped that the publications from this strange world could be copied in the real world.
She glanced at the opening date of [Fan Ziju's Personal Illustration Exhibition] again: May 29, 2040 - to be determined.
It started today, no wonder there are so many indigenous people.
Liu Yanran carried six books in a canvas bag, leaving with only "Fan Fan's Life Alone in a Haunted City 1" in her hand. She quickly opened the plastic cover and glanced at the contents. Then she began looking for an apartment, buying furniture and daily necessities, exploring the market, and living alone for the first time...
Liu Yanran felt her hands shaking a little. If she saw such an illustrated book in real life, she would find it interesting and would take a look at it herself.
But this is in a strange city, in a strange world, and there was no such illustration exhibition in the previous [Renhe Art Museum].
The post [Let’s Talk Business] was published last night, almost explicitly suggesting that players rent houses in the weird world.
Today's illustrated book is even more direct. The content inside is full of practical information about life in Ghost City. Although it is an indigenous version, it is a great help for players who have no idea about Ghost City and are unsure about it.
Players of this copy are happily buying books, and when the copy is released, they will definitely share it on the forum, which even the official cannot control.
The recent changes and actions in the weird world seem to be constantly urging players to move to the weird city on their own initiative.
Liu Yanran dug her fingertips into her palm. What did the players' relocation and renting of housing mean to this strange world? If this world needed a net influx of population, couldn't they simply capture people? Why create a dungeon?
It's really one thing after another. The identity of [Shang Yan Shang] has not been found out yet, and these illustrated books have been brought back to reality. The think tank's expert group has started to conduct more research.
Liu Yanran came out with a bag of books. Luo Qing couldn't help laughing when she saw how heavy she was carrying it. "Xiao Liu, are you going to carry these books all day? Go to the bag storage downstairs and leave them there."
"I understand, sister. I'll go down and deposit it right away." Liu Yanran said.
Seeing so many people buying books, Luo Qing couldn't help but think that these illustrated books drawn by Xiao Fan seemed to be very attractive to outsiders. She had a set at home, and now it seemed that she could support sales by buying a few more sets to put in the store.
Liu Yanran went to the first floor to store her bag. Actually, she could have put it in the space backpack of the copy, but since her sister said to store it, she might as well do it. When in the ghost city, Liu Yanran would ask herself to live like the natives as much as possible.
After putting all the illustrated books into the cabinet and still holding Luo Qing's lunch box in her hand, Liu Yanran pursed her lips.
In fact, there has always been a question in her heart that she dared not think about carefully. Players need to rent a house and obtain the identity of Ghost City, and all of this must be done through Luo Qing.
What role do I play in this world? Is I just a rental agent in plain sight?
Luo Qing was pushed out by the strange world, a conspicuous "target"?
Or is it that part of the rules of this world cannot be circumvented without her?
