Chapter 25: Lazer Manor 4
There are no other chefs in the manor, so dinner really has to be made by the player set by the chef.
The chef player is named Wen Yongzheng, a sturdy man in his thirties with a rough appearance and a heroic personality.
Fortunately, he could cook, although he couldn't cook Western food. But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and fry a few dishes and give them to Yafa Butler.
Yafa’s butler adapted well to the Chinese stir-fried dishes that were out of place in the European-style manor, and didn’t say anything, so Wen Yongzheng’s cooking skills passed the test.
He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to prepare meals for the players.
Except for Wen Yongzheng, other players don't have to do any technical work. The butlers and maids just clean the house, and the gardener trims the branches in the garden.
As for the only remaining difficult job, that of a tutor, Yu Ke somehow managed to get away with it.
Everyone took the opportunity to explore the manor while working, but the time was short and no discovery was made yet.
Yu Ke, however, remembered what Sal had said, and hesitantly raised her hand to speak: "Well... I heard there is a ghost in this manor."
She wasn't sure if what Sal said was actually a clue or just a trick he said on her.
But thinking back to how Sal and Damian behaved at that time, Xiao Piaoliang felt that she had to tell everyone about it.
When the players heard about the ghost, their faces turned serious.
Xiao Shiqiao, the slightly plump maid player, asked, "Did the NPC tell you that?"
Yu Ke nodded obediently and honestly confessed what happened in the afternoon, of course, omitting the process of her being bullied.
It's embarrassing to tell others about it.
Xiao Shiqiao sighed, "From the current perspective, it is very likely that this is a supernatural copy. Everyone should prepare in advance."
The other players all had bitter faces.
The type of dungeon that players hate the most is basically the supernatural dungeon, because it is often difficult to guard against, and the related props are often more expensive.
The whole thing is a big move to spend money and avoid disaster.
How to relieve worries? Only krypton gold.
There was nothing more to discuss after that, so everyone dispersed and went to their respective rooms to rest.
Yu Ke did not receive any special treatment this time. Her room was the same as a normal player's room, with old furniture and a long-dusty smell.
The narrow single bed was hard and the quilt was not soft. It felt a bit prickly when she touched it. She could hardly imagine what it would feel like when she covered herself with it.
The same goes for pillows. It makes no difference whether they are thin or not. Yu Ke wanted to fold it up to increase the thickness, but the dust that was raised made her cough.
Her lips turned redder from her coughing, her eyes sparkled with tears, and she skillfully cried to the system: [Wow, is this really a bedroom and not a cell? 】
System 5488: [In fact, every dungeon player’s room is almost like this. 】
Yu Ke didn’t believe it: [It was obviously not like this last time. 】
System 5488: [. 】How can it be said?
Last time it was housekeeper Wei who opened the back door for you. Now that it’s a female housekeeper, it’s useless?
After crying, Xiao Piaoliang had no other choice. She didn't even have the conditions to wash, no change of clothes, and no separate bathroom.
There was a bathing area outside, but she didn't dare go there. She still remembered what happened when she went to the toilet alone in the last copy.
I could only lie down with my clothes on, feeling aggrieved.
But an environment that is easily acceptable to most players is really a torture for Yu Ke's overly delicate skin.
The friction caused by the rough bed made her exposed skin red, swollen and itchy. Coupled with the psychological impact of not being able to wash, she was in a daze and did not sleep well the whole night.
In the middle of the night, she could faintly hear crying while she was half asleep and half awake. It lasted for a long time, and when she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to open her eyes, it became quiet again.
When she woke up the next morning, Yu Ke looked haggard and listless, and floated to the living room like a ghost.
But even in this state, she still attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.
Because she didn't get enough rest, her usually fair and rosy complexion was now pale, and her lips were also much lighter in color.
Her thick, long eyelashes drooped, casting a small shadow on her face, making her look fragile, as if she would disappear at any moment.
Compared to the other players who were in the same condition as yesterday, Yu Ke's condition was visibly worse.
People who didn’t know the situation would think she had been tortured all night and would never imagine that she just didn’t sleep well.
Xiao Shiqiao asked her worriedly, "Are you okay? What happened yesterday?"
Seeing everyone so energetic, Yu Ke stammered twice, but still couldn't tell the real reason, "...It's okay, I just didn't sleep well."
Xiao Shiqiao suddenly realized: "Were you also woken up by the crying?"
The listless little beauty's brain became even slower. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered that she seemed to have heard crying last night, "Ah, um."
Xiao Shiqiao was about to continue saying something to her when she was interrupted by the Yafa butler who came over.
The Yafa housekeeper's expression was very ugly. As soon as he came over, he shouted angrily: "Who was crying last night?!"
The players looked at each other in astonishment and shook their heads.
But the Yafa housekeeper didn't believe it and said coldly: "I told you the rules of the manor. The master likes quietness. Those who make noise must be punished."
Her gloomy gaze swept across the players one by one, and finally settled on one of the male servant players, Guan Peng.
"The crying sound came from the direction where you live."
Guan Peng, who was chosen, was horrified and hurriedly explained: "It wasn't me! I really didn't cry!"
The Jaffa steward walked straight towards him, turned a deaf ear to his explanation, and just repeated: "The one who makes noise must be punished."
The Yafa butler who said this had a ferocious expression, his eyeballs bulged out and rolled around, his mouth opened wider and wider, revealing sharp and cold teeth, his long tongue drooped down, still dripping saliva.
Anyone who sees him will see that he looks like a monster.
Facing such a monster, it was obviously impossible for Guan Peng to surrender and just run away.
Butler Ke Yafa was even faster. He got on all fours and leaped above Guan Peng in an instant. Seeing this, Guan Peng used his props without hesitation and disappeared on the spot.
Housekeeper Yafa dived to the ground, and when she missed her target, she turned her head and looked at the remaining players.
Everyone's face tensed and they all took out their props and were ready to go.
Yu Ke, who was originally listless, was frightened by the sudden transformation of Yafa Butler. She stood up straight while grabbing the self-defense props and crying to the system: "Hurry up and pick out a prop for me to escape, wuwuwu." 】
Including the rewards she received in this copy, she now has a total of 1,000 points. At this critical moment, she did not save any money and directly spent a huge amount of money to buy a one-time teleportation item worth 600 points.
Able to teleport to a designated location within a range of 500 meters.
She had thought it through. If Butler Yafa really came to attack her, she would teleport to the young masters' study.
