Chapter 3 Treasure Appraisal 3
The scene where the yellow-haired gangster turned into ashes was not as scary as this one.
After all, it looked like a game special effect and was not that realistic. Yu Ke was mainly frightened by the yellow-haired brother's screams.
But the death of a middle-aged man is different.
The splattering blood showed Yu Ke the horror of death in an extremely realistic way. The huge shock made her become numb in order to protect herself.
The lips lost their original brightness and the redness moved to the eye circles, and in an instant the eyes were filled with tears.
In order to relieve the sour feeling, she couldn't help blinking, tears slid down her pink cheeks, and she bit her lips with her pearly teeth, trying hard not to scream.
Her legs were slender and trembling under the cover of her skirt.
The poor thing had used up all its strength just to stand there, and there was no chance of escape for it.
A few minutes ago, I was happily squeezing into the nearest seat, but I didn't expect that now I would be the person closest to the butcher. Her tears fell, and she just hoped that Butler Wei would not notice her.
Fortunately, although Butler Wei appears gentle, he is actually arrogant. Even if the distance between them is very close, he is reluctant to pay attention to them.
He waved his hand, and a servant came and dragged away the middle-aged man's body.
The servant who was dragging the corpse kept his head down the whole time, and the players couldn't see the expression on his face.
But some players noticed that the other servants looked at the middle-aged man's corpse with undisguised greed on their faces.
They stretched their necks to follow the direction of the corpse. The length of their necks had long exceeded the limit of normal people, but the body was fixed in place, which was obviously weird.
Yu Ke lowered her eyes and did not see this scene, otherwise she would not be able to hold on any longer.
Butler Wei said casually, "Unfortunately, this gentleman answered incorrectly. The next guest can come and identify the treasure."
The new player holding card number two looked pale and had beads of sweat on his forehead.
After seeing the fate of Player No. 1 with his own eyes, how could he dare to appraise the treasure? It's pure and there's no coming back!
He collapsed and yelled, "I don't want to play anymore! I don't want to play anymore! Let me out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body spontaneously combusted and turned into a pool of ashes that scattered on the ground.
In less than half an hour, three players had died.
The yard fell into dead silence.
The death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn. The new players seemed to have seen their own future fate and their eyes became desperate.
Yu Ke heard a mechanical voice in her mind warning: [Players please do not be negative about the game, otherwise you will be cleared out. 】
Butler Wei still maintained that smile: "Please ask the next guest to come over and identify the treasure."
However, the servants beside Butler Wei curled their lips in regret as they looked at the pile of ashes.
But it doesn’t matter. If number two dies, there is still number three, and there are still more than a dozen people in the yard.
The pressure now falls on player number three.
Number three was the old player wearing glasses. He kept a calm expression from beginning to end, and the deaths of three players in a row did not shake him.
He reached out and pushed his glasses, and actually asked Butler Wei, "Excuse me, is the fate of those who fail to identify the problem resolved by you?"
Butler Wei smiled and said, "No, please don't misunderstand me. It's just that we failed to identify it. How could we be so rude?"
As for why he killed the middle-aged man, he didn't say.
No. 3 Cheng Shuangping understood that the middle-aged man’s death was definitely due to violating the rules of the dungeon, but as an NPC, the butler Wei would not be so kind as to explain it clearly to the players.
However, this questioning was not useless. Cheng Shuangping at least knew that failure in treasure appraisal would not trigger the death condition.
In the game dungeon, NPCs cannot attack players at will, otherwise the gap in strength between the two sides will determine the outcome to be a one-sided massacre.
After years of trials and tests by players, it has been proven that as long as the dungeon rules are not violated, the death conditions will not be triggered, and NPCs cannot attack players.
Even so, the mortality rate in each copy remains high.
The detailed dungeon rules require players to actively explore them, a process that often costs many lives.
Even if you have done your homework in advance, the game will blur your memory when you enter the dungeon.
NPCs and players are naturally hostile camps.
The better NPCs will just follow the process and ignore the players.
If you encounter a more perverted one, they will even maliciously guide players to break the rules, and then start a killing spree, leaving no one alive.
The old players all tacitly agreed not to ask any more questions, and the new players were so frightened by Butler Wei's quick and decisive way of killing that they dared not ask any more questions.
Only Yu Ke, whose mind was muddled from crying, actually asked what was on her mind: "Then...then why did you kill him?"
Her voice was tearful, like the cry of a kitten, making people feel itchy.
Butler Wei guessed that some players would ask further questions, and had no intention of responding, but this voice...
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a wet little beauty.
Its eyes and nose were flushed red, as if it were a precious flower that was carefully raised but accidentally left outdoors to be exposed to the wind and rain.
If you don't take good care of it, it will soon break, but it will bloom with even more breathtaking beauty.
Butler Wei's eyes became deep, and his gaze remained on Yu Ke for a long time without moving away.
The players looked here and there, wondering if Butler Wei was... stunned?
No way. No way.
Yu Ke cried and cried until she finally realized something was wrong.
Why is no one talking?
She raised her eyes cautiously, and her eyes met with Butler Wei's. She was so scared that she immediately hid behind the person next to her.
Next to her is Cheng Shuangping.
The young man straightened the corners of his lips. He was always cautious and self-protective, but he did not reject Yu Ke's approach and allowed her to use him as a safe haven.
When Butler Wei saw Xiao Piaoliang hiding behind another man with a frightened look on her face, his face sank with displeasure.
Cheng Shuangping covered Yu Ke tightly, and Steward Wei felt that this man was an eyesore.
Butler Wei: "It's time for this gentleman to come up and identify the treasure."
Cheng Shuangping couldn't confront the NPC head-on, so he walked forward reluctantly, exposing Yu Ke to Butler Wei's gaze again.
She didn't expect that the hiding place she had just found would be away from her so quickly. Her slender fingers tugged at her clothes in panic, and she tried to calm herself down, watching her nose and her heart.
Just don't look up at Butler Wei.
Butler Wei tried to lower his voice and excuse himself: "The master doesn't like noisy people. This is a punishment for him."
After hearing this, Yu Ke didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Otherwise, if you think she is making a lot of noise, you might as well hit her. It will definitely hurt.
She is very afraid of pain.
The old players' eyes flickered.
This almost makes one of the rules clear!
I see.
The middle-aged man did not die because he failed to identify the treasure, but because he made too much noise!
