Chapter 4 Rose Manor (3) New Rules
Guess?
Lin Chen really didn’t expect that Qisi would still be in the mood to joke around here.
He was about to say something, but Shen Ming was the first to smooth things over: "Don't be as experienced as Xiao Lin. He is a newcomer and doesn't understand anything. He asked abruptly."
Qisi smiled at Shen Ming, grabbed another apple from the table, and wiped it without having anything to do with it.
He used a joking tone in his previous sentence, which can be interpreted in many ways.
Once someone teases someone, he will naturally accept it and share the obvious conclusion.
But now, the old players seem to be accustomed to his concealment, and they have the attitude of "disclosing clues is a matter of affection, not disclosing them is a duty", which makes him doubtful:
Does team copy really require players to unite and help each other? Is cooperation really the best option for completing a dungeon?
Interesting, no wonder Ye Zi used the expression "being tricked and killed in the copy"...
In the deathly silence, the butler appeared like a ghost at the right time and said to the players: "Dear guests, it's getting late. Let me arrange a place for you first."
He paused, his face An uncomfortable fake smile appeared: "Please forgive our indifference, it is really not suitable for going out at night. When it gets light tomorrow morning, you can feel free to enjoy the roses you have been waiting for."
Qisi Listening to the ears, the brain automatically extracts key information.
First, "It is not suitable to go out at night", which is in line with the rules [Do not leave the castle at night].
Second, after dawn tomorrow morning, players can freely explore the garden full of roses.
On the system interface, the four words "Beware of Roses" are so strange and disturbing.
There is a high probability that there is a crisis hidden in the rose, but I don’t know what the mechanism of action is.
However, dying of a rose is very interesting to think about...
The housekeeper maintained the same pace and led the way meticulously, leading everyone up the stairs.
The steps made of stacked stones are uneven, with tiny plant roots growing in the gaps. Or maybe the steps were originally a single piece of stone, but were torn apart by roots.
The players carefully stepped on the broken steps and reached the second floor of the castle in silence.
The flat floor of about 200 square meters is fully visible in front of you. The gray walls are mottled with dirty water marks, and moss and ferns are crawling around the corners.
Three brown door openings are eerily embedded in the wall. Wooden wedges of different ages and materials are nailed into the damaged parts of the wooden door, the colors are mixed and messy.
Similar to the first floor, there is a huge and bulky mechanical clock in the corner, telling players the approximate time all the time.
Time is really important in this copy.
The housekeeper took off three keys from his waist and handed them to the leader Shen Ming: "Please try not to leave the room at night. Each room can only accommodate two people. Please be sure to keep the key, it may save you at a critical moment." Life."
His voice was extremely low, as if he was telling some secret, and the atmosphere became a little strange for a moment.
The players moved their eyes in unison and observed their surroundings vigilantly. As expected, they did not find the second staircase.
Once the staircase leading upstairs is blocked, they will be easily surrounded, closed and beaten.
Chis looked at the housekeeper and asked politely: "Sir, may I ask where the beautiful Miss Anna lives?"
The butler narrowed his eyes when he heard the word "beautiful" and seemed extremely satisfied.
He said in a cheerful tone: "Miss Anna lives on the third floor... By the way, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. Miss Anna doesn't like guests to pry into her life too much. If she is She will be very angry if she finds out that you went to the third floor.”
So, is it okay if you don’t get discovered?
It seems that we have to go to the third floor.
Qisi touched his chin, thoughtfully.
At the same time, all players heard the system prompts.
[The rule cracking progress has been updated]
[The new rules have been refreshed]
[9. Please try not to go to the third floor. If you go, don’t Discovered by Miss Anna】
Being able to accurately ask questions that trigger new rules is also a skill, regardless of whether it is by mistake or not.
For a moment, the old players looked at Qisi with a little more consideration.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qisi’s expression did not change and he continued to ask: "So, Mr. Butler, where do you live? If we have something to do, where can we find you?"
The butler twisted. Turning his head, the joints made a "clicking" sound like a rusty machine running.
He pointed to the ground with a smile, his dark eyes almost falling out: "I live...underground. It's very cold, very dark...underground."
Underground? There is obviously no basement in the castle... The veteran players were fine, but Lin Chen had a pale face, looking like he was about to faint from fright.
The housekeeper turned around stiffly, walked straight to the stairs, and went downstairs step by step.
It wasn't until his figure was completely hidden in the dark corner formed by the stairs and the wall that Shen Ming said quietly: "What do you think of this new rule and the third floor?"
"Fortunately, Qisi asked in advance, otherwise someone would have to break this rule to get out of the water." Zou Yan smiled at Qisi who was far away from the crowd.
She paused for a moment and continued: "If we want to crack the world view, we must go to the third floor to find more clues. If we just want to clear the dungeon, then there is no need to worry about the third floor. We only need to be strict Just follow all the rules.”
Lin Chen deeply agreed: "Then let's live on the basis first, and then think about the worldview when we have time."
No one raised any objections, and it was only the first day after entering the dungeon, and all situations were different. You know, no matter how much we discuss it, nothing will come of it.
The mechanical clock struck seven times, and it was already getting late.
Zi Zi directly pulled Zou Yan and said with a smile: "I will share a room with Sister Zou. Please take care of me, Sister Zou."
It is natural for the two women to be separated. How to group the next four grown men is up for debate.
Shen Ming looked at Lin Chen with an embarrassed look on his face: "Xiao Lin, you are a newcomer, who do you want to share a room with?"
There was a bit of hesitation in his eyes: "I am ashamed to say that, I He's not an official player yet, he's just a reserve player in the novice pool like you, so he may not be that much stronger."
Lin Chen froze when he was suddenly called upon.
Of course he knows that his status as a newcomer is annoying.
Without experience, you won't be able to provide much help. If you die, you will be suspected. In a deadly game, this undoubtedly means high mortality and trouble.
Shen Ming seemed to have given him the choice, but it was actually a way of getting rid of responsibility.
No matter who he chooses, that person has a reason to ignore him. It can also be said that he chose blindly and based on wishful thinking...
Qisi looked at Lin Chen’s ugly face. Sighing at the right time, he showed a comforting smile: "Lin Chen, if you can trust me, just stay in the same room with me."
Some people often think that only the weak form cliques, while the strong do not Is walking alone.
But he is well aware of the limited power of individuals and will never constrain himself with stereotypes.
He does not hesitate to use some means to form a group of his own, but the control must be in his hands.
To put it simply, it is taking advantage of others.
Qisi half-closed his eyes, and his crow-feather eyelashes cast a small shadow on his eyelids: "My experience is definitely not as sufficient as Brother Shen, but as long as you listen to my arrangements, I will try not to let you Died at the hands of ghosts."
Lin Chen was stunned.
Ever since Qisi triggered the new rules, he has acquiesced that this young man is a big boss.
And this big boss didn't show off at all, and was willing to extend an olive branch to him when he was most helpless...
In a weird and dangerous game, can there be such kind-hearted people?
Shen Ming was happy to throw away the hot potato and immediately expressed his agreement: "Xiao Lin, then you should go with Qisi. I think his ability is no worse than mine."
Lin Chen Ru Mengchu Wake up and nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Thank...Thank you, Brother Qi! I will try not to hold you back!"
Qisi looked at his temporary roommate who was crying with gratitude, and his eyebrows were crooked. laughed.
The so-called room allocation is equivalent to briefly dividing a six-person team into three small groups.
He originally didn't expect his teammates to do anything, as long as they were obedient enough and easy to use.
The one who barely met the conditions and looked over was Lin Chen.
Shen Ming naturally roomed with the remaining Chang Xu.
A teammate who is very capable at first sight is definitely a welcome presence in a dangerous dungeon. Chang Xu visually estimated that a height of over 1.9 meters can indeed give people a sense of security.
Seeing that the groups were almost sorted, Zou Yan walked up to Shen Ming gracefully, picked out a key, said "good night" with a smile, and walked to Room 1 on the right side of the stairs.
Qisi saw the reactions of several people in his eyes, took a key marked "2" from Shen Ming's hand, and pulled Lin Chen into the deepest part of the corridor.
In a game of mutual distrust, the sooner you control more chess pieces, the easier it is to gain a greater advantage.
He entered the dungeon alone, and his accumulation and experience were not as good as those of other players. To win by surprise, he must make full use of every card in his hand.
What he has to do now is to transform Lin Chen into a complete "one of his own" as soon as possible.
