Chapter 80: Vampires Banquet
Chapter 80: Vampires Banquet
When Wuji Gu woke up, he found that it was already getting dark, with a foggy forest behind him and a ramshackle European-style village outside a castle in front of him, and he was standing in the middle of the road.
In order to be able to enter a copy with Yuanzhou Lu, the other party is given him a prop, as long as the prop can be relied on to play with the other party.
In that case there should be no surprises, right?
Wuji Gu turned his head to look behind him, he saw several players sparsely, because the fog here is too dense, he could only vaguely see the figures of these people, but he noticed that many of them were wearing a white dress.
"What's going on here? It's not right." Wuji Gu frowned, never seen a player dressed so uniformly before.
Then he suddenly realized that the clothes he was wearing also seemed to have problems. Wuji Gu looked down at himself, he was wearing a women's ...... dress or European medieval style white dress, there are various sewing and modification marks, obviously very worn out.
Wuji Gu reached up to gather his hair and suddenly found himself with an extra head of soft flaxen curls.
"......?"
[Due to the special setting of this copy, half of the players are required to wear non-replaceable female clothing] The system voice sounded, [Due to the lack of female players, some male players will be forced to wear female clothes, and their image will be partially changed.]
Wuji Gu : "?"
When the players gathered together, immediately found that there are a total of ten people here, half of them are dressed in women's clothing, part can not see men and women, but the kind of obviously incredibly fit, but hard to wear women's clothing people, but still by everyone can see at a glance ......
While feeling hot eyes, they had to sympathize with the male player, obviously such a muscular man, actually dress like this is too tragic.
Wuji Gu doesn't know how he looks at this point, but he noticed that when several male players around him looked over, their eyes were actually blazing with a few moments of enthusiasm.
Yes, at this time Wuji Gu in the view of others, that is completely with a few exotic beauty, obviously wearing such a village girl clothes, but completely can not hide that exquisite beautiful appearance, just a glance are let people swing soul.
And because the system will make slight changes to the player's appearance to make them more suitable for their current identity, Wuji Gu is now a little shorter in height, and with a slender body, it gives a strong feeling of protection.
Such a beautiful woman no matter who it is can not imagine that in fact he is a man. What's more, it's impossible to connect him with Sun Shi who exploded in the system space before.
Yuanzhou Lu, dressed in men's clothing, was immediately recognized, after all, from the face of the people around, the beauty there could only be Wuji Gu no matter what.
Yuanzhou Lu immediately hinted with his eyes Wuji Gu, let him temporarily do not reveal his true identity, now just cover up, the more secrets can be kept, in the future there will be more cards.
Wuji Gu certainly received Yuanzhou Lu's sight, nodded slightly to that side, and the next moment a male player steeply approached him and spoke in a tone with self-aggrandizement, "Sister, what's your name, let's go together afterwards, I am very powerful, I can definitely take you through."
If it were Wuji Gu before, he might have shown his true identity and gender directly, but at this time, he received Yuanzhou Lu's hint, and a sense of responsibility suddenly arose in his heart.
Such as he has a professional actor, even at this time to disguise as a girl that is also to do their duty, must not let these people see it!
"I, my name is Mengmeng." Wuji Gu used his straight thinking to come up with a name that should sound very much like a girl, and also used his straight thinking to change his self-name again.
Fortunately, because of the requirements of the previous work received, Wuji Gu will also be falsetto, and then after the voice disguised or very soft girl ......
Yuanzhou Lu : "......"
The real female players around heard Wuji Gu's self-introduction and there was a moment of silence. In their eyes, they had already seen this Meng Meng as the kind of person who only relies on appearance to hug people's thighs and muddle through copies.
After all, this kind of people are really quite a lot, face value is also part of the strength, can rely on beauty pass of course no one will not be unhappy. Just sometimes bad luck in holding a lap is also planted, like this Meng Meng actually can be mixed up to now, is certainly the degree of green tea amazing.
However, when these male players heard this, they all felt their hearts melting and rushed over to team up with Wuji Gu.
The previous male player who came first was upset, "I was here first, and Mengmeng girl already has the intention of teaming up with me, what do you want!"
A few other players are not satisfied, "What are you, this copy is not unfolded yet here indiscriminately packaged tickets, want to cheat others Moe, I see when if there is really an accident, you must directly push people to the front to die!"
The male player was instantly furious, but what the other side said did also poke at his sore point, after all, it was still his own life that mattered most.
Wuji Gu originally did not mean to team up with this person, and immediately disguised a pathetic look at the others, "Really, really? Mengmeng is so scared."
The actor's acting skills to do this step is very natural, there is no point of difference, and even very common on the third person to address themselves.
Yuanzhou Lu looked at Wuji Gu's eyes were already stunned beyond belief, "......?!?"
The crowd was suddenly bickering over Wuji Gu and scrambling to form a team with him.
Wuji Gu then put on a scared look, "Don't you guys fight over Mengmeng! In that case, Mengmeng should team up with this big brother."
With that, Wuji Gu ran in front of Yuanzhou Lu.
Yuanzhou Lu the whole person is already dumbfounded, because Wuji Gu's performance is too seamless ...... he even doubted whether he was mistaken, or when Wuji Gu rushed over he understood that probably the person in front of him is really Wuji Gu.
Several other people immediately looked over with disgruntled eyes, but immediately recognized Yuanzhou Lu's identity, the original arrogant temper suddenly shrunk.
Even if you give them ten guts, they would not dare to go to Yuanzhou Lu's trouble, this is not a simple person. He is really cheap.
Wuji Gu tugged Yuanzhou Lu's sleeve and whispered, "I'm not exposed, am I?"
Yuanzhou Lu : "......" This is not only not exposed ah!
"I want to ask a question." Yuanzhou Lu's tone carried a few hints of heaviness, "In the previous copies, were you always dressed as a woman."
Wuji Gu : "?"
Wuji Gu : "I'm a real man!"
Yuanzhou Lu : "......"
The other players saw that their relationship had become better with the naked eye, and they all had different thoughts. Some are jealous that Yuanzhou Lu actually has a beautiful woman to embrace, some are disdainful in their hearts, did not expect Yuanzhou Lu would actually be affected for a woman, it is simply forced and image is a big drop.
Anyway, if they were absolutely not going to cooperate with such a fleshly drag!
[You are commoners in this village, which is a village in a territory governed by nobles and therefore subject to heavy taxes and food. The conditions in the village were becoming increasingly difficult.
After the change of the lord count, the conditions here not only did not improve, but also from time to time there are dead people, I do not know how many people died silently, but no one found the truth, and no one will care about what civilian lives.
So you so wanted to escape to the outside world to develop new opportunities, but you did not expect to be back here after getting lost in the forest. Now it is time for you to return to your homes.]
[Main quest: To each his own home].
"It seems that this time, the copy is a setting where each person has their own identity." Yuanzhou Lu opened his mouth and said, "This kind of copy generally also has to deal with their own family matters ...... although it may seem like just an ordinary family, but there is a high possibility of danger, you must be careful."
Wuji Gu nodded his head. It was also clear from the system's introduction that this village was just an ordinary village oppressed by the nobles before, but it even started to die after the count changed.
These dead people are estimated to turn into another appearance that threatens the player's life. As for the count, it is estimated that the villain boss of this copy, the vampire in the name of the copy.
Several people thus entered the village in front of them.
Not yet dark, the village has become dead, only a small number of houses are lit, and the occasional villager encountered on the road is a negative numb look, probably even if they die tomorrow will not care.
But in stark contrast, not far from the castle at this time is simply as bright as daylight, flashing the light of luxury, but also faintly can see which is also holding a banquet, you can think of how these nobles are extremely enjoyable things.
But if you can choose, players still prefer to stay in this broken village, after all, to go to the castle that means to face the boss of this copy, that is absolutely nine deadly things.
[You are identified as the daughter of an ordinary farmer in the village and live in the easternmost building in the village near the sheep pen].
The system's voice alone sounded in Wuji Gu's head. The other players probably also got such an alert and headed towards their homes.
And Wuji Gu and Yuanzhou Lu went their separate ways after exchanging props that could tell each other's location.
A male player lives close to where Wuji Gu's house is located, and immediately feels he has made a fortune, running over to talk to Wuji Gu.
"You can just call me Ge Lv! It looks like we live pretty close to each other, so you can call me if you need help!"
Wuji Gu replied with a hitch, but of course he did not forget to maintain his soft girl persona.
As the two walked, they heard the sounds of arguing and crying coming from all the buildings next to them.
"Didn't I tell you to leave the baby at home? Now how come it's gone!"
"I don't know, I obviously put him in the inner room, even if he ran out I should all know it is ah, oooh ...... my child ah ......"
"It's useless to cry now, I just hope the boy won't be taken away by that thing ......"
Two people passed by this house, both steeply felt a cold wind blowing, and then look around the dark building, always suspicious of what will not be hiding inside.
Ge Lv immediately felt creepy panic, immediately said: "It seems that the village is still very dangerous."
His words fell, the face of a middle-aged sturdy man came, saw the two occasion with a few panic face, "you are back, before the darkness quickly into the house, or will be caught by that thing!"
"What is that thing?" Wuji Gu immediately spoke up and asked.
Middle-aged man with a wince on his face, "Now there is no time to explain so much, in your absence a lot of things happened in this village ...... Anyway, if you want to know, come to me tomorrow at my home blacksmith store!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man left in a hurry, as if he was afraid of running into something untoward if he was late.
After all, it's about to get completely dark now.
Ge Lv face is cold sweat dripping down, at this point he is not in the mindset of flirting with Wuji Gu chat, but to relieve the fear in the heart of chatting the day.
Soon his destination was reached and he hurriedly said goodbye to Wuji Gu and entered the adjacent building.
And Wuji Gu also found his own residence located near the sheep pen - it is a very ramshackle wooden house, built on a very random, but also has some ragged feeling, filled with a far poorer than other villagers feel.
[Main quest: Each back to their own home to complete].
[Triggered main quest: Blend into the castle. Failure to enter the castle before the banquet in three days will be considered a failure in the main quest.]
This is the first time Wuji Gu heard the words mission failure from the system, he also saw it in the forum.
If a person fails the mission, regardless of whether he or she is alive or dead at the time, he or she will simply die, and is said to encounter extremely terrible things before death.
And this task means that the players cannot escape reality now and must find a way to blend into this extremely dangerous castle within three days.
Wuji Gu finished thinking and then looked inside the house. This house and outside the picture is extremely consistent broken, only a large room that also serves as a kitchen and hall, the corners are full of finished bottles, the table also put a bed made of straw ...... as for the inside of the bedroom is no better, the only thing of value in this home may be a locked cabinet next to the bed.
If you want to go to the toilet, you can only solve it outside. Even because this wooden house is so broken, there is a lot of cold wind blowing in through the cracks in the wood panels. If the person standing here is not Wuji Gu but a really soft girl, it may be a night to get seriously ill.
Even the last backward village that held a medieval wedding, that the village chief in order to keep them from making any trouble, that are arranged for these players to live in a new house, where there is like now such a tragic environment.
At that moment, a middle-aged woman who looked very old came in with a basket and looked tired, and after seeing Wuji Gu, her eyes filled with tears, but before she could say anything to her daughter, her face changed abruptly, "Why did you come back? Is it?"
"Mother, don't worry." Wuji Gu is still not quite used to this kind of operation of dropping an empty mother, and immediately took out his acting skills from the past to face, "Since I came back, nothing will happen."
The woman shook her head, she could not wait for Wuji Gu to leave immediately, but she looked at the outside world has completely darkened the sky, immediately reached out and pressed his hand on Wuji Gu's shoulder, "so, tonight you will be here for the night ...... until tomorrow morning to leave, absolutely do not let that person see you The "I'm not going to be able to get a good deal on this."
She looked left and right and finally opened a closet to one side, "You can rest here."
Wuji Gu was really totally confused and asked directly anyway, "Mother, why do you want to do this?"
The woman's face is ugly, with hate in her eyes, but the look is already tired to numb, "before that man for a hundred gold coins want you to marry the village side of that fool, for this matter you just run away, he could not easily give up this idea, who knows the castle and to recruit a few maids, but also provided an extremely generous money, that man is now very tempted ...... but who does not know that to go there is to send death! How can I watch my daughter die like this."
Wuji Gu, however, heard the crux of the matter, "Is the castle hiring?"
"Yes." The woman spoke with some fear, "Those who went to the castle before were never heard from again, they must have all died inside! You absolutely cannot go! The good thing is that the man is out drinking tonight and will definitely not come back, but if he finds out tomorrow morning, you will definitely not be able to escape!"
Apparently, Wuji Gu's father is the most important person in the family, and usually goes out to drink and does not work much, which makes the family so destitute.
As for the mother, she is a poor woman, even though she is very resentful of her husband, she never dares to resist, even if it affects her daughter, she only dares to let her escape.
Wuji Gu, with a sense of justice in his heart, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "No, Mother, on the contrary, I am going to the castle."
"What?" The woman looked nervously at Wuji Gu, "You can't be a fool! Don't risk your life for all the money that man owes you! You're still so young."
Well, now it seems that the family is still in debt that is difficult to pay. Wuji Gu thinks he may have stumped up the poorest family in this copy.
"I'm not being silly." Wuji Gu said, "I just have some things to work out, and this matter has already been decided."
His eyes were so determined that the women were surprised not to know what to say for a while, and could only sigh, "If it weren't for your real father leaving early ......"
So it's still a stepfather story.
"By the way, mother, do you know the approximate criteria for selecting people for the castle?" Wuji Gu asked again.
This is an important matter for the completion of the main quest. Although Wuji Gu believes that it is not necessary to choose this path to blend into the castle, the more information you know, the better for you.
"I don't really know." The woman spoke up, "It's all because the man asked around outside, and as soon as he heard that he could get a large sum of money for being a maid, he went around asking people."
"Good." Wuji Gu nodded.
The women just watched as Wuji Gu went straight into the room and laid down on the only bed to sleep.
Wuji Gu is still quite satisfied with the bed, this mother is really virtuous, the bed is obviously cleaned not long ago, very clean and tidy, just too worn out.
Seeing Wuji Gu naturally going to sleep, the woman panicked again, "If you lie here, the man will be angry when he comes back!"
"It's okay, just call me when he comes back." Said Wuji Gu already closed his eyes and fell asleep.
There was really nothing the women could do, except that they suddenly felt as if their daughter had become much more assertive.
--------
The next day Wuji Gu was awake to the sound of a man's angry roar.
A man who looked physically strong, but whose stride was flimsy, and whose hair and beard were disheveled, entered the room and glared at Wuji Gu with a furious look.
"Doing what?" Wuji Gu rubbed his eyes and sat up.
He noticed that although the man looked useless, he was not an ordinary useless scum, after all, the other party's floating feet would cause the ground to shake slightly every time he stepped on it.
If the ordinary players to this time want to give this stepfather some color, maybe instead they will be taught a lesson, then probably will doubt life.
And the other side is powerful for no reason at all, just the power given by the copy. This setting is really malicious ah.
"Who gave you permission to sleep here? The straw outside is your bed, get your ass down here!" The middle-aged man even said he was about to get up and hit someone.
The woman saw this scene panic to go forward, a pull the middle-aged man, "the child is not easy to come back, she may just be too tired, you will forgive her this time it."
But it is clear that the middle-aged man was not persuaded, instead, he violently threw his wife away, the woman fell to the ground next to him and hurriedly tried to go out to get help.
Wuji Gu in the other party's fist to smash down when, carelessly speak, "If I beat disfigured, you can not sell me to the castle as a maid ah."
The middle-aged man heard Wuji Gu's words, the action suddenly a meal, the fist is actually half a day can not be smashed down, at this critical time, or interest to make his brain instantly sober.
The women were also relieved, but felt pained again when they remembered that their daughter was going to the castle for sure with nine deaths.
"I'll let you off the hook once today ......"
Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, his fist was squeezed by Wuji Gu.
"What are you doing?" The middle-aged man immediately burst out in anger, he had vaguely noticed a few things wrong at this point, why the other party held his hand with a force not at all like a soft girl.
But before the middle-aged man could react, Wuji Gu had punched him hard in the face.
The middle-aged man burst out with an amazing scream, and his squeezed fist made a clicking sound, and the whole man fell to his knees directly in front of Wuji Gu.
Of course, the average player may be defeated in front of this person, but would Wuji Gu be the average player? What he hates most is such a scum.
"You do not think ......" middle-aged man, although stunned in his heart, but still because of the authority of the accustomed, subconsciously about to put the harsh words, resulting in another fist fell hard on his face.
Wuji Gu At least it is still some time ago to purchase the martial arts, now of course, to practice their own results. Of course, he will not kill the middle-aged man, if the fight is really powerful, there is still healing power well.
In the women's dumbfounded eyes, Wuji Gu, a young girl who looked soft and beautiful, held down the middle-aged man and beat him until he could no longer say a word.
After a while.
Wuji Gu sat on the chair, and the women stood behind him in bewilderment. As for the middle-aged man who was still unbeatable just now, he was kneeling on the ground, looking at Wuji Gu respectfully, "If you have any questions, just ask, as long as I know it, I will never hide it!"
"Good, then tell me exactly what the conditions are for the castle to recruit a maid of honor."
Wuji Gu said, also feel that the opening of this copy is not very difficult.
...... In fact, if it is a general player, at this time it is impossible to beat the stepfather, and then also while begging for a living under the hands of this stepfather, all aspects are restricted, and even the scope of going out is affected, in such a case also try to inquire about the news, the difficulty of the task that is spiked.
And other players are now facing all sorts of trouble from their families, making them all unavailable for a while. This is the horror of intermediate level copies.
However, this stepfather in the hands of Wuji Gu, but also just a chicken.
