25 The Vampire’s Castle (2/2)

However, this place had now become popular among players. Some even gathered and died there on purpose. This was to create a record of the battle between the two gangs—”the players” versus ”their Vampire-selves”. It would later be uploaded online to gain viewership.

Due to this reason, there were plenty of Tier 2 and Tier 3 players' seen along the route to Vampire's Castle. Qin Ruo's party successfully reached their destination without the need to fight much.

Dark clouds loomed over a magnificent, dark castle with 17th-century architecture. A bunch of black bats spanned their wings and surrounded the top of the castle. These elements embellished the castle, making it look like the haunted castles that usually appeared in Grimm's Fairy Tales.

The entry point of this mission was within the ancient, fairy-tale castle. The hidden mission and the map in hand could only be activated by dashing into the first underground level.

Gold Digger Babe seemed to be well-informed with the situation. When she found out that they had to go into the basement, she wrinkled her cute eyebrows a little and expressed a sense of disgust as well as uneasiness. She finally regained some of her feminine temperament.

”I should announce in advance! My sister just asked me to come here and solve the door mechanics. She never asked me to fight the monster, so I'm not going to get involved later on. Plus, I hate them, so you better not let those disgusting things near me…”

Qin Ruo nodded and smiled. If he was unable to diffuse such a problem, he would not have turned up. He immediately instructed the two ladies to stay behind him. After that, he took out a strange looking bottle from his backpack and unscrewed the cap. Then, he started to march into the creepy and mysterious Vampire's Castle.

”What's that?”

The two sisters behind him were obviously very curious when they saw Qin Ruo entering the castle without preparing a defensive magic cast. They could not help but catch up and ask.

Qin Ruo smiled mysteriously.

”Smell it yourself.” He placed the bottle in front of them and the stench of garlic immediately choked them. Almost simultaneously, they covered their noses and backed a few meters away.

”It's so smelly! What is it?”

”It's garlic. Why are you holding this? Please throw it away quickly, it's so awful!” Little Kitten and Gold Digger Babe looked at the giggling Qin Ruo like he was some kind of lunatic.

”Throw it away?” Qin Ruo retrieved the bottle as though he was protecting a precious item.

”Then, what should I bring to lead you down the basement?”

Qin Ruo proceeded to tell the two sisters that he discovered it by chance in a mysterious little shop. The label on it claimed that it was brewed using the juice squeezed out from a thousand garlic cloves, which happened to be what the Vampires hated the most. Once opened, it was a guarantee that all low and high-tier Vampires would not dare to approach them for thirty minutes. After accepting this mission, he purposely bought two bottles of the concoction to try it out. The result was quite satisfactory.

”Really?”

Gold Digger Babe's eyes shone once she knew it was effective against the Vampires.

However, when she looked at the High-tier Vampires with wings on their back, she reserved the confidence she had in the little bottle. Only after they entered the hallway of the castle, where all the Vampires along the way had avoided them did she yell excitedly.

”Yeah! This is awesome! Brother Qin, where did you buy it?”

Qin Ruo almost dropped the bottle when he heard her call him ”Brother Qin”. He exclaimed a little inside.

”Why do you want to buy it?”

Little Kitten held back her urge to laugh and asked her sister.

The latter then realized that ”Brother Qin” sounded very flirtatious. Her face flushed instantly like a tomato and she quickly changed the topic.

”Not long ago, I received a mission related to Vampires, such a nuisance! But, it's great now, Bro… Qin Ruo. Where can I buy this garlic juice?”

Watching the shy expression on the young girl's face, Qin Ruo nodded his head. It was rare for her to behave so feminine. ”After this mission, I'll lead you to it.”

”That's a deal!”

Gold Digger Babe was excited. This amused Qin Ruo and he could not stop laughing. That mission had to be very important to her.

As he relaxed, out of nowhere, Gold Digger Babe blurted out a world-shattering sentence, ”Great, since you've helped me, I'll therefore reluctantly allow you to go after my sister.”

”What?!”

”Xinqin!”

Little Kitten was embarrassed and angry at the same time. Maybe she was used to it, so she carelessly raised the bow in her hand and smacked her sister on the head with it. As a result, she accidentally knocked the bottle in Qin Ruo's hand…

The shattering sound of the glass bottle was exceptionally clear in the silent Vampire's Castle!The main character's real name is 秦若 Qin Ruo, the same spelling as 秦弱 Qin Ruo, the misspelled In game name which carried the meaning of Weak Qin.
