Chapter 31.2 (1/2)
Tang Mianmian turned to look at Xiao Tangqiu, “Qiuqiu, what do you think?”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice, “I have heard the story of the Virgin Spring …but it’s completely different from what she said.”
Tang Mianmian’s eyes shone with suspicion, “Oh? Is she lying to us? “
“I don’t think so, maybe it’s not the same story,” Xiao Tangqiu frowned. “But I have an inkling that the story behind this Virgin Spring is the key to this mission.”
Tang Mianmian nodded, “This subject will review the matter!”
Xiao Tangqiu smiled, “No matter what, we must remember this story clearly.”
When the two people in the back were done whispering, they noticed that the others had entered the castle gate, and they quickly followed after.
As soon as the last two entered the castle, the castle doors slowly closed on its own.
Thud
The huge, old wooden door made a dull noise, and the newbies turned pale with fear, “The door……. the door closed by itself”
The moment the light from outside disappeared, the castle was plunged into darkness. Just as everyone started to grow uneasy, candles suddenly lit up in the distance. Then, one by one, the candles slowly lit up by themselves, from afar to where they were standing.
It wasn’t until the nearby candles were burning and the flickering yellow light dimly illuminated the hall that they discovered a man not far away. It was a middle-aged man in a wooden wheelchair.
The man was about 50 years old, younger than the housekeeper, but those eyes that were like a stagnant pool of water seemed to reveal the harsh vicissitudes of life. He sat motionless in his wheelchair; not even his eyes moved, just like a statue.
Xiao Tangqiu was startled and unconsciously took a step back but his reaction was still calm. Several newbies were frightened and screamed at the sudden appearance of the man. However, their rude screams still hadn’t attracted the attention of the man in the wheelchair. He merely looked straight ahead with an unfocused gaze.
“Master…… I’ve brought the guests.”
Only when the housekeeper came forward to announce their arrival did the man finally move – his eyes looked up as he slowly turned to face the crowd.
His gaze fell onto them, and immediately, the newbies shuffled backwards in fear. Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth and stayed in place.
“I apologize, Master’s movements are limited.” The housekeeper behaved as if she hadn’t seen any disrespect from the guests and calmly explained, “He welcomes you very much and hopes you can have a pleasant vacation here…..”
“The second floor is the dining hall and the third to the fifth floor are the guest rooms. You may choose your rooms at will.” The housekeeper smiled, “….Except for the attic, you may enter all other rooms. But please remember, you are forbidden to enter the attic.”
Under the flickering candlelight, her smile appeared somewhat strange. Xiao Tangqiu felt his hair stand on end, but his brain immediately responded – the attic must be the key to the mission.
Just then, one of the women on Shen Yuan’s team who hadn’t spoken the entire time opened her mouth to laugh. She twirled a lock of hair and asked the housekeeper with a grin, “What will happen if we enter the attic?”
The moment her voice fell, Xiao Tangqiu instantly felt the surrounding atmosphere change. The temperature seemed to fall by several degrees. He suddenly thought of something and launched his special skill card -“sSexy Streamer’s Live Stream Channel.”
The next second, a semi-transparent screen of his channel page appeared in front of his eyes as a barrage of comments rained down at once.
“If the characters in the plot say they can’t go to a certain place, then all the more they have to go! No zuo, no die, you must try! Streamer, GO ah!!!!”
“My poor streamer QAQ. Then, I’ll give the streamer a nuclear powered flashlight!”
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly felt something heavy in his pocket. He instinctively reached out felt it…… The next second, he actually pulled out a flashlight.
This was a very common looking flashlight, but there was a small piece of paper with a line of cursive handwriting on it under the switch –
“Nuclear Powered Flashlight”.
………Hello! This was clearly a common flashlight with an extra piece of paper!
He was poor, don’t lie to him!
At this time, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered the holy water and yellow talismans he had seen them comment before, and immediately wondered why the holy water and yellow talismans weren’t in his hands.
……..That’s right, those holy water and yellow talismans were awarded by his “fans” after the end of the instance. Could it be that once the instance ends the rewards won’t appear in physical form? But where did those holy water and yellow talismans rewards go? Were they all cleared once a new instance starts?
But if that was the case, what’s the point of rewarding those holy water and yellow talismans?
Then again, who were these fans of his live stream channel? Were they also players?
Xiao Tangqiu immediately wanted to open the live stream’s behind-the-scenes. Just as he thought of that, the semi-transparent live stream’s backstage interface appeared in front of him. It was similar to his previous live stream backstage interface. However, the column that was supposed to show gift rewards wasn’t there. Instead, it was something he had never seen before – “Roast Value”.
………Roast Value? What the hell? What was that for?
He was confused for a second but after seeing the number after the “Roast Value”, he was even more puzzled – “250.”
250? Where did he get that Roast Value from?
Xiao Tangqiu paused and suddenly came up with an idea. Could this Roast Value be……. those holy water and yellow talisman rewards after they were converted from gift rewards? Was this Roast Value equivalent to his gift rewards?
Right then, he suddenly noticed a small line above his live stream channel – “this skill has been used 1/3 times in this instance, the skill lasts for 1 minute. It requires 1,000 Roast Value before the next skill upgrade.” This was followed by a countdown of – 6
