The middle-aged man was at a loss, not knowing what Gu Wuji was going to do, but at this moment this 'daughter' gave him an unfathomable feeling. Said everything.
It is said that the owner of the castle will hold a grand banquet three days later, so there is not enough manpower, so they recruited people temporarily, and there are three people. The conditions are very simple, you need to be a young woman, you need to be in good physical condition, and you need to sign up yourself, as long as you meet these three points.
Indeed, no matter how he heard it, he was a cannon fodder, and Gu Wuji nodded. But at this time, under the requirements of the main quest, even players who knew they were going to die would rush to go.
And this dungeon is definitely not the only way to enter the castle, otherwise the competition will be too fierce. At this time, Gu Wuji had a little interest in trying to find out what other methods were available.
But before that...
Gu Wuji walked to the cabinet beside the bed and said to the middle-aged man, "Quickly open this cabinet."
The middle-aged man's face changed, "This is not good."
"If you don't want me, I'll come by myself. I don't know if the cabinet can be kept as it is." Gu Wuji's casual words gave the other party an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.
God knows what happened to this daughter outside the village when she was not in the village, and her temperament changed so much.
The middle-aged man opened the cabinet with a cold sweat on his face. Sure enough, what was inside was the few belongings left in the house.
Gu Wuji directly picked up the bag containing the gold coins and handed it to the woman beside him, "Take this money and go to the village to find someone to repair the house, build a new bed, and finally get some food."
Although Gu Wuji as a player can completely ignore other people's affairs, as long as he is happy enough, he does not allow such a thing to happen.
The woman was still terrified when she took the gold coins, "Is this really good? We still owe so much money to the casino. If they knew about it... they would definitely not let us go easily."
"It's okay." Gu Wuji reassured him, "This guy and I will handle the matter over the casino, you can just do it with confidence."
The middle-aged man trembled again, and quickly said: "People in the casino are not easy to deal with, even if you go now, it's just to die."
"I have nothing to do." Gu Wuji looked at the middle-aged man with an unbelievable look, "Could it be that a good person like me would kill someone else's casino because he didn't pay back his debts?"
Middle-aged man: "..." You haven't looked like a good person since just now, okay
------
Gu Wuji came out of the room and paid attention to the surrounding situation.
The genius has just been lit, and the fog around the village is full of fog and can't see clearly, but the fog is quite thin, not like the existence of obstacles in ordinary dungeons.
What surprised him was that from this remote place, he could almost see the whole view of the castle. It is undoubtedly a magnificent and ancient building, which seems dead during the day and only comes alive at night.
"The Guard is Here"
The people in the village have no doubts about this, after all, they are already in a difficult situation to survive, and there is no time to arrange a lord.
Gu Wuji inquired with his stepfather and women again, and probably knew the situation in the village.
Although this village is very poor, there are still a lot of things that should be set up, and some people are still rich. For example, when he came back with Brother Lu last night, the burly middle-aged man he met on the road should be a blacksmith from a blacksmith shop. He was already in good condition in the village, and he was very helpful.
In recent times, the village has suddenly become extremely dangerous. People often disappear at night. Occasionally, witnesses see the body of the deceased, and next to the body is a tall werewolf.
As a result, the fact that werewolves were hidden in the village spread like wildfire, which made the people in the village panic, and no one dared to go out at night, but even this could not prevent the occurrence of the incident.
Gu Wuji couldn't help but ponder, "..." Could it be that there are werewolf killing elements in this dungeon
As for the issue of the lord, the two also knew very little. All I know is that the previous lord was a middle-aged man with a very grumpy temper, and he died without knowing what was going on.
After that, another aristocrat who was arranged by the above was appointed. It is said that he is a relative of the emperor. His bloodline is extremely noble, and his appearance is extremely handsome, and his temperament is extraordinary. Go into the castle.
Who knew that the people who entered the castle later had no news, and everyone began to be afraid, and no girl was interested in the castle anymore.
Gu Wuji listened thoughtfully, his stepfather's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he repeatedly swore that he had absolutely no intention of continuing to send Gu Wuji in.
During the conversation, a few people had already arrived at the door of Brother Lu's house yesterday, and the woman immediately said, "This family... is also a sinner. The man went crazy because of the death of his wife. The night was fine, but When you wake up in the morning, you will treat the child as a stranger to be beaten and killed, and the child was almost hacked to death before leaving the village with you.”
Gu Wuji knew when he heard this. It is estimated that all the families assigned to the players in this village are not good stubborn things. If he really thought that it was like returning to his own home, the ending would be very miserable.
In the next instant, Brother Lu's terrified scream came from inside the house, as if something terrified him, "What are you going to do!"
…
Brother Lu was already extremely frightened at this time. After he came back last night, he found that he was still a child of a single-parent family in this village, but even so, it didn't matter, it was just a copy anyway, who would care about it.
Because the dungeon he had experienced before also had a similar family setting, and the people inside were fairly reliable, so Brother Lu didn't care too much. Who would have thought that as soon as he woke up the next day, he would see this npc father holding a kitchen knife and looking at him with wicked eyes, as if he was looking at an enemy. NPC father directly hacked to death.
What made Brother Lu's eyes split was that after the kitchen knife fell on the bed, it split the bed in half! Is this the strength that an ordinary middle-aged man should have? Why are you still just an ordinary villager if you are so hung up!
"You, what are you going to do!" Brother Lu shrank back, and he was already touching the wall. He panicked and wanted to take out the protective equipment, but because of the tension, his hands were shaking for a long time and he didn't take it. come out.
But at this moment, the door was suddenly broken open, and a figure appeared outside the door.
She is actually Mengmeng, a female player who is extremely weak, beautiful and helpless in Brother Lu's eyes.
Brother Lu jumped in his heart and immediately said, "Mengmeng, hurry up! This man is not an ordinary NPC!"
Unexpectedly, Mengmeng did not turn around and leave after hearing his words, but walked quickly towards the house, immediately attracting all the attention of the man with the kitchen knife.
Brother Lu was very moved. He didn't expect Mengmeng to be such a kind and brave person. If he were an ordinary player, he would definitely run away! But she is still willing to come in to save people... But the other party is so weak, he must not be able to resist this NPC, and now only he can cheer up to save the two!
At this moment, Brother Lu almost became a protagonist, and then he was stunned.
He couldn't believe what he saw.
That weak and beautiful female player reached out and suddenly stopped the middle-aged man's hand holding the kitchen knife, and then punched and kicked again, making the middle-aged man faint.
Brother Lu was thinking, is this middle-aged man really the NPC with infinite strength and incomparably strong just now!
Finally, Gu Wuji wiped the sweat on his forehead and looked at Brother Lu with a smile, "That's great, it's really not good for such a dangerous person to be here, but he has already been dealt with. You don't have to worry."
Brother Lu: "...Meng, Mengmeng sister. Thank you."
The image of Gu Wuji in his heart has undergone earth-shattering changes. Thinking that he even said that he wanted to protect the other party last night, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
Is this cute sister's strength comparable to that of ordinary people? !
…
At this time, in the castle.
This is simply luxurious to the extreme, in stark contrast to the poverty and sourness of the village. Every floor is covered with soft and luxurious carpets, various valuable artworks are placed everywhere, and curtains with strong shading are drawn in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
Although it was daytime, this place was like nighttime, only illuminated by the lights on the wall.
In the dining room, in front of the huge dining table, an extremely handsome young man with silver hair was sitting on the head. He had a noble temperament, a pair of red eyes with a dark color, and his complexion was a pale color that had not seen sunlight for a long time.
The young man casually cut the dessert on the plate with a knife and fork, and said, "The banquet is about to start, haven't you found it yet?"
The surrounding subordinates were extremely respectful, with a bit of fear in their eyes.
"Sir, I really can't find it."
"We have been to the nearby towns, but there are too few people who meet your requirements. We have done our best."
After all, the highest level of blood that their lords require is by no means something ordinary people can possess.
"Really?" The young man looked at them with a faint smile on his face.
The subordinates were suddenly horrified, and a sense of fear suddenly hit their hearts. They hurriedly said, "We will continue to work hard next!"
"It must be that what we found before was not detailed enough, and there must be fish that slip through the net around here!"
------
The group continued on the road, but the woman left first because she was going to do what Gu Wuji said. Before leaving, she looked at Gu Wuji with a bit of worry in her eyes, and pressed his shoulders, "You thousand. Don't force it, such a weak girl, if she really can't, just leave here."
Stepfather: "...!!" What a weak girl! Have you ever seen such a weak girl!
Gu Wuji's eyes were also much softer, he nodded lightly, "I see."
The woman just turned around and walked away. Only the stepfather and Brother Lu were left with no idea.
Gu Wuji took the two to the most lively bulletin board in the village. There are all the news posted in the castle, which are things that everyone is very concerned about.
Since Gu Wuji's residence is too far away, the other players have basically arrived here. After seeing Gu Wuji and this attentive-faced Brother Lu coming over, most of the female players have sarcasm on their faces. color.
Lu Yuanzhou was already waiting here, and when he saw Gu Wuji, he immediately stepped forward, "Did nothing happen to you last night?"
"I still slept well." Gu Wuji said, he slept soundly, no matter what dungeon he was in, he couldn't stop his sleep quality.
"That's good. Most of the players encountered a lot of trouble yesterday, but they were all to the extent that they could solve it themselves, without endangering their lives." Lu Yuanzhou frowned, "This dungeon was given to us on the first day. Get off the horse, although we should have noticed it long ago."
Gu Wuji was about to walk to the bulletin board and immediately noticed the various messages posted on it.
The most striking is of course the news of recruiting three maids for a large amount of money. The requirements are the same as what the stepfather said, but you have to sign up yourself... Combined with the vampire sacrifices in the introduction of the previous copy, this may be the test of who is the best. Best for offerings.
Others are werewolves who have a reward for appearing in the village. Those who catch the werewolf or kill it can get the chance to be received by the lord and attend the banquet, and there are many benefits.
The other is a handyman hired by the castle to work for the chef. The conditions are very loose, as long as you have enough strength.
This also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that this main quest is not difficult to kill. If you really can't find a way to enter the castle, you can choose this path.
Others are the news released by ordinary villagers. They are very common. Why do you have to look for your own child with a lot of money? Why do you need someone to find a rare herb or something, even some trivial things? It's like It's like playing the task panel in the game.
What makes Gu Wuji care is that there is also news released by the casino on it, saying that some property has always been lost in the casino recently. I hope someone can investigate who did it, and the owner of the casino will pay a lot of money.
Gu Wuji already had a plan in mind.
On the other hand, because no matter how you look at it, these few tasks that can enter the castle are the most convenient to become a maid, and there is a lot of time to inquire about news. Coupled with the advantage of gender, female players do not want to let go.
But it is clear that such a beautiful beauty as Gu Wuji is the most likely to succeed among them, so the look in the eyes of everyone looking at Gu Wuji is even more unkind.
Gu Wuji didn't notice the badness of these people at all. He just felt that the eyes they looked at him were too hot. I didn't expect that even though he was dressed as a woman, he would still attract the attention of these female players...
Lu Yuanzhou couldn't see it a bit, so he stood in front of Gu Wuji and said, "Let's go first, go to the village to investigate, you must have something to deal with."
Gu Wuji nodded, but turned his head and tore off all the paper on the panel except for the castle poster. A series of task trigger sounds immediately sounded in his mind, causing everyone to be shocked.
"You, what are you doing?"
"This thing is picked up, but it must be done! These ordinary tasks are of no benefit. It is absolutely thankless to do it. How do you..."
After all, they have seen such ordinary tasks in other dungeons before. Even if players know that they can find out some news after taking them, they will still encounter danger because of too little harvest. If they are not completed, there will be penalties. If the return is not achieved and the time spent on inquiring about other news is wasted, that is what few people are willing to do.
Who would take it as if he didn't care about it... Unless it's the kind of ignorant player who encounters this kind of ordinary task for the first time, he would do such a thing.
For a while, even male players couldn't help shaking their heads, thinking that although this cute guy looks really good, his brain is really hard to use. In reality, such a girl might still be fun/interesting, but in the dungeon, this is simply to die for.
Gu Wuji said in the tone of a three-good citizen, "I can't see that others are in trouble and don't help, that's what I should do."
When the others were shocked, Lu Yuanzhou looked at Gu Wuji with relief.
He was used to it anyway, no matter who it was, it was an escape copy on a deserted island, and when there were only a few places, he insisted on saving people.
Then what is it to help more people in this dungeon, that is, a person with such a spirit is his good brother! Lu Yuanzhou was deeply proud of Gu Wuji.
... Although now she is a soft girl no matter how you look at it.
Lu Yuanzhou's proud gaze made everyone else feel numb. They didn't expect that Lu Yuanzhou could change his temperament so much because of a beautiful woman. Why would he be proud of such a thing!
"Let's go." Lu Yuanzhou said, "There seems to be a lot to do today."
Brother Lu next to him bravely followed, "Sister Mengmeng, take me with you."
Lu Yuanzhou has nothing to say about this, anyway, he is not the kind of person who is not friendly, and he actually thinks that these male players now think that Gu Wuji is a girl is quite interesting...
"Well, I'm going to the casino to solve some things now." Gu Wuji nodded, "On the way, let's solve some tasks in the village."
Lu Yuanzhou looked at the middle-aged man behind Gu Wuji, immediately understood the current situation, and nodded immediately.
Several people walked towards the casino in this way.
------
"I did some research last night." Lu Yuanzhou said: "The werewolves in this village are really weird, and they don't show any clues now... But if you can catch the werewolves and enter the banquet, it will definitely be more beneficial to rely on the identity of the guests. Yes, stronger than maids and handymen."
Thinking about it this way, the methods of entering the dungeon arranged in this dungeon vary in difficulty, and the benefits that can be obtained are proportional to the difficulty. As a handyman, it is estimated that once you enter, you will be busy, and there is no chance to investigate.
Gu Wuji nodded, "If you can, of course, choose this path. I think the werewolf must not be easy. Maybe you can learn the weakness of this dungeon villain boss from the other party."
What's more, he is actually a man, how could he be a maid in the castle, maybe his real gender will be detected in the first level. Gender exposure is a trivial matter, and it would be unfortunate if it violated any system rules.
"I think so too, being a handyman is the last choice." Lu Yuanzhou looked solemn, this dungeon was too strong a threat to him, and he hoped that he could do the best in everything, otherwise he might lose everything if he took a step back. .
"This casino owner is said to have witnessed the werewolf, so maybe we can get some news here."
They didn't even consider the question of whether or not the casino owner would not speak up. Anyway, there are always violent means to solve it.
When they came to the entrance of the casino, the group immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Of course Lu Yuanzhou and Brother Lu were ignored, while stepfather and Gu Wuji made everyone else look at Gu Wuji with sympathy.
Obviously, this stepfather's bad attitude towards his daughter is already well known to the whole village. In addition, he owes such a large sum of money, and now he has brought his beautiful daughter here. What he wants to do is already self-evident. Yu!
In the casino, this man had said several times before that he would sell his daughter to pay off his debts without paying any money. It's just too miserable for such a beautiful daughter to have such a stepfather.
After they entered the door, the owner of the casino came over, looked up at Gu Wuji, as if thinking about something, and finally said in a reluctant tone: "Your daughter is not bad, if you sell her to our casino to pay off the debt, it's not impossible. accept."
The stepfather was sweating wildly, for fear that the words of the casino owner would evoke Gu Wuji's unhappy memory, he is very frightened of Gu Wuji now, and immediately said indignantly: "What the hell are you talking about! How can I possibly be? To do such a beastly thing! How could I sell my daughter!! Even if I am beaten to death by you guys here today, don't even think about it!"
People around: "??" What is this, were you such a stubborn and unyielding person before
The casino owner was stunned, and then his face darkened, "Then are you here to find fault? Our casino is not a place where you can just make trouble!"
At this moment, a few ruthless thugs had already walked behind Gu Wuji and others, waiting for the boss's order to attack them.
Gu Wuji looked at the casino owner and said, "I saw the news you posted outside, and I'm here to help you. As long as I find out the reason for the troubles in your casino, I will be able to offset those debts. ."
"Of course you can." The casino owner said with a sneer, "But why should I believe you? Could it be that the two men behind you can investigate the cause?" hands-on.
After a while.
The thugs lay on the ground and wailed, standing there without thinking about anything.
The eyes of other people in the casino are full of shock. The stepfather is fortunate in his heart. Fortunately, his will is firm enough that he did not temporarily sell his daughter, otherwise he must be treated the same as these people at this time!
Gu Wuji smiled and looked at the casino owner, "How is it?"
The casino owner's attitude immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees, showing a respectful smile at Gu Wuji, "Dang, of course, you can investigate everything you want to investigate!"
The author has something to say: I accidentally fell asleep at night. . ! I got up early to write
