Chapter 27
Chen Wen traveled in a grand manner, with dozens of carriages following him.
The canopy of his carriage was decorated with gold edges and inlaid with large crystal beads as if they were free of charge. The white BMW pulling the carriage had shiny hair and a unicorn-like horn on its head.
The carriage stopped in front of the castle gate, and before Shen Wen got off, the carpet was laid on the ground.
"Master, watch your step."
After the butler instructed the servants to lay the carpet, he stood aside, bent over, and respectfully welcomed Shen Wen to get out of the car.
Chen Wen hummed softly and got out of the car with his eyes half lowered.
He was wearing gorgeous and classical aristocratic clothes, with smooth and beautiful golden hair. In this copy without the sun, the warm golden color seemed to be the only dazzling existence.
He wore agate bracelets and a gold-studded belt on his wrists and waist. Such golden and gorgeous accessories did not look out of place or tacky on him at all.
Chen Wen was born to be at the top of the food chain. The indifference and arrogance in his eyes were innate. No matter how extravagant the accessories were, they could not suppress the sense of dignity that he looked down upon all living beings.
The moment Shen Wen got out of the car, the housekeeper and the servants lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at their master.
Following Shen Wen, the butler lagged behind half a step and reported to him in a low voice what had happened in the past few days.
"Everything in the castle remains the same after you left, and the roses are growing well. However, a few strange guests came yesterday, and I have asked the butler to arrange for them to stay for the time being."
Chen Wen has always been "helpful" to others and doesn't mind having strange guests visit the castle.
Nodding, Shen Wen was about to ask what the "child" in the letter was about, when he looked up and saw Xing Nuo standing under the eaves holding a vase.
At a glance, the monster Chen Wen, who clearly had no heart, seemed to have something beating violently in his chest.
This child...
How could there be a blood bond between him and me? !
The blood connection made Shen Wen's face change slightly. He stopped and stood a few steps away with a gloomy look.
Chen Wen looked at the cub with deep scrutiny.
Xingnuo stood at the door holding a vase, looking at her "strange" father, a bit of confusion appeared in her little eyes.
Why... Dad has become so weird?
The look in the baby's eyes was no longer as warm as the sunshine, but rather as cool as a bottle of milk just taken out of the refrigerator.
Xingnuo was born with a high level of emotional sensitivity. Facing his most familiar yet greatly changed father, he tightened his grip on the small vase and unconsciously took a half step back.
Chen Wen also withdrew his gaze. Facing this "son" who was related by blood but appeared out of nowhere, he just asked:
"Have you arranged a room for him?"
The monster butler nodded, with a respectful smile on his face:
"It has been arranged for the young master. It is next to your bedroom."
Chen Wen raised his eyes and frowned as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
His eyes swept over the little cub who was standing aside with his feet tightly together. He pursed his lips but said nothing in the end.
Chen Wen half-closed his eyes and walked through the corridor with a group of servants into the living room.
Xingnuo raised his little head and looked at his father intently, his little mouth stretched into a straight line.
After the father came back, he didn't kiss or hug Xingnuo, but ignored the baby.
Xingnuo lowered his little head dejectedly, staring at his little feet in a daze, his chest felt stuffy, as if a big piece of wood was stuffed in it.
Sighing, Xingnuo didn't understand what happened to his father. It was as if he suddenly didn't recognize him.
He turned around uncomfortably, holding the vase and went to the backyard alone.
***
In the living room illuminated by the crystal chandelier, several players were smiling stiffly.
Facing the castle owner who had returned from inspecting the manor, the players' faces were filled with despair and numbness.
Just now, when the owner of the castle, Shen Wen, walked in, all the players received a system prompt message:
【bite! System reminder: the core boss of the dungeon has been replaced, and the dungeon level of "Castle Adventure" has been upgraded to SSS+! 】
[Players please pay attention!] You will get ten times the points if you survive the core monsters in this copy! Players please try your best to survive! 】
[System prompt: The main storyline of the copy has not been changed! Players are encouraged to explore actively and complete the game as soon as possible! 】
SSS+ level copy! ! !
When the veteran players heard the system's announcement, they almost couldn't breathe and fainted on the spot.
How come the level of this castle owner is so high!
They thought it was at most an A grade!
The players looked dejected. Several veteran players couldn't help but sigh and close their eyes, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
Chen Wen had already sat in the main seat on the sofa in the living room, with a leisurely posture, and glanced at these stiff "guests".
The butler's face turned cold, he looked at the players and reminded them in a cold voice:
"Our master has returned. Out of courtesy, you should greet our master."
The players' hearts rose to their throats when they heard this, and they nodded in panic.
"Hello."
Chen Wen had seen many humans like this. When they met him, they seemed to have seen some evil star, with stiff hands and feet and pale faces.
How could such a weak human being give birth to his own blood cubs?
Chen Wen withdrew his gaze with great disdain, stood up, and hummed coldly in a bad mood.
"Don't go upstairs if you have nothing to do. Butler, take them downstairs. They are an eyesore."
The butler bent down and bowed to Chen Wen, then turned around and looked up at the players with a sinister look.
"Hurry up and leave!"
Useless thing, living in the castle and even daring to make the owner angry!
The butler had a grim expression as he stared at a few players who were shrinking their necks and leaving in a cowardly manner, wondering if it would be better to just kill them.
No, it can't.
The master doesn't like bloody killings, which is too unbecoming of his status.
The players had no idea that the butler could barely conceal his murderous intent towards them, so they returned to the bedroom in the northernmost corner and slammed the door.
The new player squatted on the ground and shouted numbly and collapsed:
"What the hell is this?! Why is this monster so high level?!"
The old player who was always calm and composed couldn't help but feel a little upset at this moment.
"You're asking me? I want to ask you something! What the hell is going on with this crappy copy?!"
"This shouldn't be the case. For small fry like us, the system usually won't send us directly to such a high-level dungeon!"
"It's over, it's all over now! We might as well just commit suicide!"
The players grabbed their hair, muttered to themselves, and looked a little crazy.
The highest-level female player with a crew cut complained a few words, but soon the prop pendant she carried with her took effect and she suddenly woke up.
"wrong!"
Their current state is very wrong!
Even if the opponent is an SSS+ level monster, they shouldn't be so easily irritable and self-pitying, and full of rage!
One male player even tried to jump out of the window, an obvious act of self-harm and suicide.
The female player with a crew cut took a deep breath, cut her arm with a knife, and also cut a few teammates.
The pain woke them up instantly, and they looked at each other with gloomy faces.
"Something in this castle is affecting our emotions! We must stay calm now, otherwise there will be no hope of passing the level!"
The players became alert, trying hard to suppress the self-loathing and suicidal thoughts that were welling up in their hearts, and began to discuss the subsequent plans in a low voice.
Second floor.
Chen Wen climbed up the stairs and saw that his favorite rose-red carpet had been replaced with a childish light-colored long-pile carpet. The sharp spots on the door and cabinet edges were all covered with a layer of soft cloth.
Even in her own luxuriously decorated bedroom, there was a small sunflower pillow.
Chen Wen's face turned cold, he felt that he had only been walking for a few days, but this castle seemed to be full of traces of human cubs.
Chen Wen sat down in a very bad mood, and was about to ask the housekeeper to come and replace the strange carpet. When he looked up, he saw the dirty little cub standing by the door.
The human cub's face was covered in black and white streaks, and there was dirt from somewhere, and his velvet slippers were stained with dust.
Chen Wen was a very fussy person, and when he saw the dirty child, he couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath.
Just as he was about to speak, Xingnuo, who was standing by the door, walked in first.
"dad."
Xingnuo opened her watery and clear eyes, stood in front of Shen Wen with her little face raised, and handed over the vase in her hand.
“Piao Niang Fa Fa!”
Xingnuo held the vase high, her bright little eyes filled with anticipation.
Chen Wen is very tall, and when he looks down at people, he always keeps his eyes half-closed, with a distant and cold expression.
Even though he was facing a cub who was related to him by blood, Chen Wen still did not soften his tone, and spoke word by word in a cold voice:
"go out!"
Then he spoke again:
"You are dirty, stay out of my bedroom."
Xingnuo listened to his father's words, and the light and expectation in his little eyes slowly dimmed. He couldn't help but hug the little vase tightly and lowered his head in helplessness.
The strange father said he was a dirty kid.
Xingnuo pursed his lips, and tears soon welled up in his eyes, turning his eye sockets red.
He sniffed, stretched out his little hand to wipe his eyes, and successfully made his face into a clown face.
"All right."
Xingnuo tried hard to hold back his tears and replied with a nasal voice:
"Then I'll put my hair here."
Xingnuo put the vase on the small coffee table beside him. His little curly hair, which was covered with a layer of dust, wilted. He turned around, shrugged his little shoulders, and walked away dragging his feet.
Chen Wen stood aside, looking at the little guy's sobbing and sad back, turned his face away and looked away.
Inexplicably, his breathing was a little difficult. Shen Wen sat on the sofa and stroked his chest which was a little stuffy.
Shen Wen lowered his head and saw the flowers that the little guy brought over.
The gorgeous golden tulips emit a light fragrance and bloom brilliantly.
This golden color is very similar to the way Xing Nuo looked when Chen Wen first saw him when he entered the castle.
Vibrant, warm and brilliant, this is the feeling that Shen Wen likes most.
Shen Wen was slightly startled, then reached out and fiddled with the tulip.
He remembered that the little guy seemed to be holding a rose in his hand just now.
So, you were afraid that you didn’t like roses, so you went to the backyard to pick tulips?
