Lu Haidi and Ruan Yuan came over to look at Gu Jiu's task note. When they saw the contents of the note clearly, they looked at Wan Xingzhou with more sympathy.
Although "Mrs. Holland's Lover" is quite a scam, it is already a simple mode compared to "The Widowed Woman" and "Dancing with the Devil".
In the gaming world, beings that can be called "evil gods" or "devils" generally possess extraordinary powers, and their powers can even rival the rules.
The bosses in the game world have to kneel down in front of such a being of extraordinary power.
I don’t know how lucky Gu Jiu is to get such a terrible task. With the player’s strength, it is impossible to escape from the "devil". If he doesn’t use the substitute card, he is doomed to die.
Seeing Wan Xingzhou's dumbfounded look, Gu Jiu kindly took back the task note. In fact, she didn't really want to exchange tasks with Wan Xingzhou. She didn't want to be a lover of a woman.
After Wan Xingzhou came to his senses, he looked at her shyly, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Okay, no need to exchange with you." Gu Jiu put the note away, turned around and asked Lu Ji what their mission was tomorrow.
Lu Ji said: "My shooting task tomorrow is to be a maid in the castle. Tomorrow at 13:00, I will cover up the affair between Madam Helan and her lover. I may face the male owner of the castle."
After hearing this, everyone felt it was unbelievable.
When they first entered the game world and heard that the castle was called Helan Castle, they all thought that the owner of the castle was Lady Helan, an unmarried woman. Even if she had a husband, he should have been a wealthy widow whose husband had died long ago. Who would have thought that the male owner of Helan Castle would suddenly appear? The setting of this castle was too unconventional.
Well, it should be said that it hides a lot of information and fixes the players' thinking patterns.
Only then did they realize that Mrs. Helan had actually been keeping a lover behind her husband's back, and had even boldly met with her lover in the castle, as if she was afraid that her husband would not be able to discover it.
"Which guy set up this weird shooting mission? I really want to see how his train of thought works." Wan Xingzhou murmured. For the first time, his upright values were impacted by the chaotic relationships between men and women in the gaming world.
In comparison, Lu Haidi and Ruan Yuan’s tasks are much more normal.
Lu Haidi is the chef of the castle. He will provide a romantic candlelight dinner for Madam Helan and her lover. The candlelight dinner will be at noon. Ruan Yuan is the maid who discovered that Madam Helan and her lover were having an affair, and she will expose their affair to the male owner of the castle.
After everyone finished talking about their mission process, they suddenly looked at each other.
"Except for Miss Gu's mission, our tasks seem to be related to each other, right?" Wan Xingzhou said hesitantly.
Lu Haidi had a bad feeling.
Ruan Yuan concluded: "Wan Xingzhou is Madam Helan's lover. Sister Lu and I are maids. One of us helps Madam Helan and her lover cover up, and the other helps the male owner of Helan Castle expose them. Brother Lu is the chef of the castle, preparing candlelight dinners for the cheating Madam Helan and her lover..."
Gu Jiu sat on a round chair, holding his chin with his hand, and said slowly: "This is the first time that the tasks between players are connected. Does it mean that the content of the shooting tasks has begun to change?"
"Is the mission becoming more dangerous?" Lu Haidi asked worriedly.
"It's definitely dangerous, and the death traps here have been transferred to the player camp." Ruan Yuan analyzed, "Sister Lu and I are obviously in different camps. Sister Lu is in Madam Helan's camp, and I am in the male host's camp..."
At the end, Ruan Yuan also became worried.
She was not sure who would win if she faced Lu Ji, especially since she no longer had a substitute card and had no way of escaping the mission unscathed.
Wan Xingzhou showed frustration on his face, "Could it be that... we are all going to die tomorrow?"
He really wanted to ask everyone present if anyone had a substitute card, but he was afraid that if he asked, they would think that he came to seek cooperation because he coveted their substitute cards.
Lu Haidi and Ruan Yuan also became less confident.
After listening to their speculation and analysis, Gu Jiu saw that they were getting frustrated, and said, "Things haven't come to that point yet."
Everyone looked at her, and then heard her say: "Actually, it's good that the plot is a little confusing, because it proves that things are turning around."
Everyone: “…”
Even Ruan Yuan, who was quick-witted and meticulous, looked at her in confusion. She wanted to ask, did her so-called turning point mean that the players' missions had become more dangerous
"If the player's shooting mission remained the same, I still couldn't find a breakthrough. Now that the content of the mission has changed, I think there is a way to crack it. Also, didn't you notice that Madam Helan, who had been hiding for a long time, finally showed up?"
In an instant, three pairs of eyes looked at her brightly.
"Miss, do you mean that Mrs. Helan is the key to this game mission?" Ruan Yuan asked in surprise.
Gu Jiu nodded slightly. "Although I haven't met Madam Helan yet, judging from the situation in the castle, Madam Helan's status here is indeed very high, and the male master is nothing. Of course, the existence of the male master cannot be ignored. We must first find out the relationship between him and Madam Helan."
"Their relationship must be bad." Lu Haidi said with certainty, "Look, Madam Helan has a lover."
He, Lu Ji, and Ruan Yuan all looked at Wan Xingzhou at the same time and nodded in understanding. If the relationship between husband and wife was good, why would they cheat and have a lover? Even meeting with a lover in the castle was a clear way for the male owner to catch them in adultery.
Lu Xingzhou looked at them in bewilderment, and wanted to ask, what does it have to do with him that Mrs. Helan has a lover? It is clearly a character requirement for the filming task! He is a man with upright values and will never be a mistress.
Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh and continued, "So, this is the only way to break the deadlock."
"What's the solution?" Ruan Yuan asked impatiently.
Gu Jiu shrugged, "I don't know."
Three people: “…” Are you kidding them
They were clearly discussing so happily just now, thinking they had found a breakthrough, but suddenly someone poured a bucket of ice water on them, and all their enthusiasm disappeared in an instant.
Lu Ji glanced at the three people and said, "Just listen to Ajiu's arrangements. If you don't want to listen, I won't force you."
They are just temporary partners, not important friends who trust each other with life and death. There is no need for Gu Jiu to be responsible for the lives of other players.
Lu Ji thought very clearly and didn't like other players placing all their hopes on Gu Jiu. It would be fine in the D-level field where there was no danger, but the game world above C-level would become more and more dangerous, and she didn't want Gu Jiu to bear too much.
Even for Gu Jiu, it was just a piece of cake.
A young lady should be happy and arrogant, running rampant in the game world, and brutally beating up NPCs that make her unhappy.
The three of them hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Miss Gu, please let me know if you have any plans."
Gu Jiu said, "Let's take a look at my early morning mission first. You can come and take a look then." She thought for a moment and narrowed her eyes slightly. "I need to confirm some things before I can proceed to the next step."
The three of them were very confused, and Ruan Yuan asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Jiu didn't answer, she seemed to be thinking about something.
Seeing this, Ruan Yuan wanted to ask something, but when Lu Haidi grabbed her hand, she suddenly reacted and quickly shut her mouth.
She felt a little annoyed, and realized that it might be because their tasks were related, which made it more dangerous. In addition, Gu Jiu's ambiguous words made her a little restless and irritable, and she even lost her usual calmness and sharpness.
This is not good.
Since you have chosen to cooperate with Gu Jiu, you should at least give him the most basic trust. Of course, this trust is also up to you to judge whether it is feasible. From the current situation, Gu Jiu rarely does things that he is not sure of. Compared with other players who don't even have a clue, at least Gu Jiu can return safely from the fifth floor of the castle and find out the hidden information on the fifth floor.
For this reason alone, Gu Jiu is worthy of their choice to cooperate with her.
Ruan Yuan thought quickly in his mind and said, "I will go with Brother Lu to find the players later and try to confirm the content of the tasks for other players tomorrow."
Gu Jiu came back to his senses and smiled, "That's great. Thank you for your help."
Ruan Yuan and the other person didn't stay long and quickly went to look for other living players.
Wan Xingzhou still stood there stupidly, and asked weakly: "What should I do?"
Gu Jiu looked at him and said, "Wash the blood off your body first. Don't you feel uncomfortable?" As she said that, she covered her nose, unable to bear the bloody smell emanating from Wan Xingzhou's body.
In fact, she wanted him to go wash up before coming back, but seeing his pitiful appearance, she was kind enough to hold back.
Wan Xingzhou's face turned red, he uttered a low "oh", and hurried back to his room to take a shower.
Looking at his fleeing back, Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh, and turned around to see Lu Ji staring at him.
Those black eyes were so pure that they seemed to have no luster upon closer inspection. If you saw them accidentally, you would easily be scared to the point of having a heart rhythm disorder.
However, Gu Jiu was not fat in other aspects, but she was bold. She had seen many horror stories and horror movies since she was a child, but few of them could scare her. She felt that she might be born without the "fear" nerve. At least, scenes that normal people found scary could not cause any fluctuations in her heart.
So when she saw Lu Ji like this, she not only didn't think she was weird or scary, but she just thought she was a cute girl.
"Aji, is there anything wrong?" she asked with a smile. Her naturally soft and graceful voice gave people the illusion that she was treating them tenderly.
Many people have this illusion, and many people fall in love with her as a result. However, because of her status as the eldest daughter of the Gu family, no one dares to confess their love to her easily.
Lu Ji also felt that he was the one who was treated tenderly by her.
Her heart beat a little faster, and she asked hesitantly, "Why did you smile at Wan Xingzhou just now?"
“I think he’s quite interesting.”
"interesting?"
Lu Ji chewed on these two words secretly, feeling a little gloomy. How could a stupid and foolish man be interesting
Gu Jiu said: "Don't you think he is unlucky? He is obviously unlucky, but he can still live in the game world until now. I am not sure whether he is unlucky or lucky. There are not many players who have these two characteristics, and he is one of them."
No matter whether he was the clown yesterday or the bartender today, Wan Xingzhou was quite unlucky in all his missions. Among so many players, he was the only one who made himself so embarrassed and saw blood for two days, yet he managed to survive.
Of course, it is also possible that Wan Xingzhou used a stand-in card during today's filming mission.
If he didn't have a substitute card, he would choose to cooperate with her. He is a smart man.
"He chose to work with me, which proves that he is quite lucky, isn't it?"
Lu Ji thought to himself that those who could play the same game with her and choose to follow her were indeed lucky.
Knowing that she was not smiling because she had a crush on Wan Xingzhou, she felt relieved and no longer felt that Wan Xingzhou was an eyesore.
Lu Ji was so unfamiliar with this mentality that he didn't know how to describe it or how to explore it, because no one had ever taught "her".
When Ruan Yuan and the others came to find Gu Jiu, Lu Ji once again observed the couple calmly.
The more she observed, the more confused she became. Human couples... seemed to be more complicated than she had imagined.
Why do they always look at each other when no one is paying attention, and then smile for no reason? They hold hands and refuse to separate, and even interlock their fingers. Isn't this very inconvenient? They even get together to whisper, and suddenly kiss when no one is paying attention, and then smile after the kiss...
