Wen Qing stood in the living room, stunned for a long time, lowered his head, and slowly spread out his five fingers.
A bronze key lay quietly in the palm of his hand.
The key was slightly different from the one in the copy. The fingernail-sized mirror on the top was now completely covered in a layer of white mist, making it impossible to see what was inside.
His fingers clearly touched the mirror, but there was still nothing unusual.
Wen Qing paused with her fingertips, then hesitantly poked the mirror again.
A crisp sound.
The key didn't respond at all, just like an ordinary, exquisitely crafted key.
Wen Qing stared at it for a while and asked 001: [Can I take this thing out? ]
001 hummed.
Wen Qing held the key and walked towards the sofa.
As soon as I sat down, I saw the Holy Grail on the coffee table.
Wen Qing wondered if this key would become a prop like the Holy Grail?
He pursed his lips subconsciously, and his lips were swollen and painful.
Wen Qing raised his hand and touched it, and it seemed that the skin was a little broken.
He couldn't help but replay Wen Jing's words in his mind.
【Why did you only leave me such a short time? 】
[Qingqingming will be able to see them in the future, so you should look at me more now. ]
[I said I would help Qingqing.]
Wen Qing lowered his eyes and thought, did Wen Jing pull him into the mirror just to help him?
But why?
Wen Jing, as his mirror, is obviously a bad guy.
He should have guessed correctly.
…………
After thinking for a while, Wen Qing couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help but call out 001 and asked: [001, is Wen Jing helping me? ]
001 hummed: [Because it's you. ]
001 was silent for a moment, and said to him: [He knew he couldn't keep you, so he helped you, and said those words and did those things, which made you remember him.]
Wen Qing was surprised that 001 answered this question, and was also surprised that Wen Jing was really helping him.
Knowing what he was thinking, 001 spoke again: [Premise, he knows he can't keep you. ]
Wen Qing blinked and said slowly: [But he still helped me. ]
[He can watch the show in the mirror...]
Thinking of what Wen Jing seemed to have said before he left, Wen Qing asked again: [Did you hear what Wen Jing said? ]
[I only heard the system prompt.]
001: [I heard it.]
Wen Qing asked in a low voice: [Can you tell me? ]
001 said coldly: [He said he loves you. ]
Wen Qing was stunned: [???]
He couldn't help but ask one more question: [Did you really hear it correctly? ]
001: […No.]
Wen Qing was silent for a long time, recalling the words Wen Jing had said to her and the ambiguous things he had done.
After a long while, he couldn't help but sigh: [Wen Jing is really a narcissistic person. ]
001: [……]
【Think about it carefully. 】
Wen Qing was stunned: [Isn’t this the reason? ]
Isn't it because he himself is not narcissistic that Wen Jing, his opposite, is very narcissistic?
Warm mirror...
It was born from the mirror.
Could it be...
Wen Qing's eyes lit up: [It's because of the guide's buff, right? ! ]
001 was silent.
However, from a certain perspective, there is nothing wrong with Wen Qing's analysis.
Noticing that 001 seemed a little strange, Wen Qing asked in a low voice: [What's wrong? ]
【Where did I go wrong? 】
After a while, 001 sighed softly: [No.]
[I just think you are too rational in some aspects. ]
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, then realized belatedly that 001 was not analyzing the reasons with him, but discussing love matters with him.
He drank a glass of water and said slowly: "Because in this place, I may die at any time."
He had only one wish from beginning to end.
Go home alive.
Wen Qing had never thought about things like love or romance.
I hardly ever thought about it in the real world, let alone in this world.
Instead, he felt that 001 was a little strange. Why did he always bring up this kind of thing?
Wen Qing thought for a while, and tentatively said to 001: [Is there a possibility that 001 is overthinking? ]
001: [……]
Wen Qing analyzed logically: [Is it because you left the dungeon too suddenly, and you didn't even have time to take a good look at the butler and say goodbye to him properly? ]
So you are feeling sad now?
001: […I don’t.]
[You have,] Wen Qing paused and said to 001, [You are so lazy that you didn’t tell me the reward for clearing the level.]
[We are all back now...] He checked the time and continued, [We have all been back for 20 minutes!]
001 was silent for a moment, then explained: [Because you were thinking, I didn’t disturb you. ]
Wen Qing asked suspiciously: [So you can control the announcement of the reward settlement? ]
001 didn't speak.
Wen Qing did not ask further, and casually praised: [001 is really a considerate system. ]
001 was about to speak when he heard Wen Qing's next words:
[You will definitely find your true love soon. 】
001: [……]
[The Rose Castle dungeon rewards are being calculated...]
【Instance completion rate: 100%.】
【Comprehensive assessment: SSS. 】
[Rewards: 50,000 points, god-level item [Master Key]. ]
Wen Qing blinked, and before he could ask, 001 directly presented the prop panel under his eyes.
[Item: Master Key (can be used in both the human world and dungeons)]
[Level: God Level]
[Function: Can open any door, any lock, there is no door I can't open, only what you can't think of! ]
[How to use: Insert me into the door lock you want to open o(*▽*)q. ]
[Note: No cooldown time, no limit on the number of times; I am so outstanding, when will I be able to open the door to my master's heart? ]
Wen Qing has now become very accustomed to the strange notes on props. He even thinks that this master key prop looks quite normal.
He lowered his head, looked at the castle key in his palm, and asked 001: [Is this the key? ]
001: [No.]
As soon as he finished speaking, another bronze key appeared in Wen Qing's palm. Except for the lack of a mirror on the top, the rest of its shape was almost exactly the same as the key to the castle.
Wen Qing stared at the two keys in a daze, picked up the castle key, and asked 001: [What is this? ]
001 didn't speak.
Questions that cannot be answered.
Wen Qing lowered his eyes and looked at the two keys for a while, then stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
He placed both keys on the bedside table, together with the police badge that Xing Ze had given him, took out some clothes to change into and started to take a shower.
After washing up, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Wen Qing lay down on the bed, looking at the message list, reporting safety one by one.
The first one is Bai Tong.
As soon as the message was sent, Bai Tong replied immediately: [Glad you're back, what instance did you enter? ]
Wen Qing: [Rose Castle.]
Bai Tong hadn't sent any new message yet, and Wen Qing could almost imagine his shock.
Wen Qing: [I'm fine, and I'm not injured.]
Wen Qing: [But this copy is really strange. Let’s talk about it in person tomorrow. ]
Bai Tong: [Okay.]
Bai Tong: [You should go to bed early. ]
Wen Qing was about to send a message to Ye Ye and the others when he received a new message from Bai Tong: [I will tell Ye Ye and Li Jingjing about this so that they don't disturb your rest.]
Bai Tong: [Good night.]
Wen Qing: [Good night.]
Wen Qing turned over, looked at the empty bed, and then glanced at the key on the bedside table.
I miss little Ji Yu and the housekeeper a little.
001 asked in a low voice: [What happened? ]
Wen Qing buried half of his face in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Nothing."
"Good night, 001."
"good evening."
…………
The next day, Wen Qing slept until noon.
He got up in a daze to wash up, and subconsciously shouted: "Guan——"
The voice stopped abruptly, Wen Qing swallowed the word "home" and got up to brush his teeth and wash his face.
When he walked into the living room, his lunch was already on the dining table.
His favorite meal and a cup of milk tea.
Wen Qing took a sip of milk tea and felt that the taste was a bit strange, very different from what he drank in the dungeon.
It doesn’t taste as good as in the copy.
001 Change the water: [The milk tea at Rose Castle is made by the housekeeper himself. ]
Wen Qing lowered his head, looked at the milk tea in his hand, and blinked: "So the milk tea in the world is made from powder?"
001: [……]
Wen Qing: "You guys are cutting corners."
001: […I will give you feedback.]
After brunch, Wen Qing changed his clothes and sent a message to Bai Tong. After waiting for a while, he didn't get a reply from Bai Tong, so he just left the house.
Human Commercial Street
The commercial street has not changed much. Pedestrians come and go, gathering in groups of three or four, and flowers, plants and trees are growing vigorously.
This time there was no one waiting outside the pavilion.
Wen Qing glanced around, walked out of the red pavilion, and looked up at the huge light blue statue in the sky.
Clearer than last time.
The lingering white mist had already dispersed to the shoulders of the colossus, leaving only the head hazily shrouded in the mist and unable to be seen clearly.
Wen Qing stared at it for a while and felt that the light blue color was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"It's moving again." Suddenly, the voices of other players were heard beside him.
Wen Qing turned his head to look over, and saw a player looking up at the blue colossus with a look of panic on his face.
His companion curled his lips and said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you that this is normal now? Some big guys analyzed that the human world is going to be upgraded."
"Upgrade what?"
"I don't know. The system will definitely notify us. It will make a difference whether we can survive until then."
"Of course you can. Damn, why are there so many people on the notice board? Is there going to be any announcement?"
…………
Wen Qing followed their gaze and saw players crowded in front of the bulletin board.
He took two steps forward, and when he saw the content on the bulletin board, he stopped abruptly.
Instead of the previous several notes, it was replaced by a new congratulatory announcement.
[Congratulations to player ** for successfully passing the Rose Castle dungeon. From now on, adjustments will be made to the Human World and all dungeons. I wish all players a happy game. ]
[Congratulations to player ** for successfully passing the Rose Castle dungeon. From now on, adjustments will be made to the Human World and all dungeons. I wish all players a happy game. ]
"Fuck, who passed this copy?"
"I heard this instance is extremely difficult."
"Who can tell me what adjustment means? Is the probability of God-level copies going to be increased again?"
…
Wen Qing's eyelids twitched. The last time such an adjustment announcement appeared was because he and Zhou Zhou had passed the Guide's copy.
"Wen Meng?" A male voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Wen Qing turned his head and saw an acquaintance.
A player from Dezhi High School, Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang opened his eyes wide: "Fuck, I can actually see you again, what a coincidence."
Wen Qing subconsciously touched the mask on his face: "You can recognize me like this?"
Zhang Yang scratched his head and explained, "I looked at you twice more. Your eyes are so easy to recognize. I can tell you're an acquaintance at a glance."
Wen Qing paused for a moment, thinking about wearing sunglasses next time.
Zhang Yang glanced at the notice board beside him, nudged Wen Qing's arm, and said in a low voice: "Before, because a player passed a god-level dungeon, the system notified all dungeons to adjust and increase the probability of god-level dungeons."
"Do you know?"
Wen Qing said dryly: "I don't know."
"I don't think you know either," Zhang Yang sighed and said to him mysteriously, "This player must have some inside information. In other similar congratulatory announcements, the system directly writes out the name."
"For example, when Oz passed a 100-player dungeon, it was on the bulletin board for a long time, with people congratulating the player Oz and blah blah. Later, it was pushed down by the player **."
Zhang Yang leaned close to his ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I suspect this player**..."
Wen Qing's eyelids jumped, and he asked quickly, "What do you doubt?"
Zhang Yang said with reason: "If you doubt this player, it's called **."
Wen Qing: “…”
After a moment of silence, he nodded vigorously: "What you said makes sense."
Continue next time.
