[Main task: Leaving the Black Queen's tea party
Current progress: 25%]
The main task made Mo Xiaoyao wake up instantly, and it also made her confirm that she was no longer in any illusion. It's just... Isn't this environment a little weird
Now she is half lying in a clean white teacup, the kind with a handle, barely standing up while leaning on the side of the cup, and she can still see a saucer of the same style outside. Surrounding her are gigantic tableware and cups, as well as a mountain-like three-layer snack plate, filled with delicious temptations that can add countless calories just by looking at them.
For a moment, Mo Xiaoyao felt the fear of being brought up by Miss Lu to her puppet house.
Around the table, there were 5 people sitting, Black Queen, White Queen, Red Queen, Jiang Yan, and Meng Danyang.
And on the table, there are 5 sets of teacups and saucers of the same style as those under Mo Xiaoyao. In each set, there is a person. From left to right are Mo Xiaoyao, a strange female human, canary, and black. Cats, and strange human males.
Before Mo Xiaoyao had a closer look at what his friend in distress represented, a clear female voice suddenly sounded.
"Okay, okay, the first test is over, let's see, what is the progress of all our uninvited 'little guests'?"
Mo Xiaoyao looked up, and it was the Black Queen who was speaking. She was looking at the cup on the table with a scrutinizing gaze. The huge head was extremely oppressive. At least the canary was flapping its wings in fear. But it can't fly out of the cup at all.
Mo Xiaoyao withdrew her hand to test the outside of the cup, and there was that damned sense of familiarity again. There was an invisible barrier trapping her in the cup, and it was impossible to escape by her own ability.
So, who's going to tell her what's going on? Why can Jiang Yan and Meng Danyang sit there like guests, while she herself becomes some kind of unknown... drink
Could this be the difference between having an invitation and not having one? Mo Xiaoyao squinted his eyes, returned to stand in the middle of the cup, and waited for the further development of the situation.
The Black Queen had finished reading them one by one, then opened the folding fan on the table, covered half of her face, and fanned it gently in front of her nose.
"Ah, ah, the one with the fastest progress is indeed the A cup that was selected by two people at the same time. It is really no surprise, but the rules are the rules, and we still have to give rewards."
After the Black Queen finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Mo Xiaoyao's mind.
[Complete side mission 4: Waking up from the dream
Get "Question Card x3"
San value -30]
[Main task: Leaving the Black Queen's tea party
Current progress: 55%]
Three cards suddenly appeared at Mo Xiaoyao's feet. The size was about 4 times the size of ordinary poker cards. The pattern on the back was a big question mark, which was very in line with the setting of "question cards".
Jiang Yan still didn't speak, or in other words, everyone except the Black Queen didn't speak. While they were not in the next round, Mo Xiaoyao bent down to pick up the cards, turned them all over, and saw 3 cards with exactly the same description.
[Question card]
This card can be used to ask a question to one of the three queens, black, white and red.
The rules are as follows:
1. The Black Queen always answers every question, and the answer must be correct, but she can only ask once in each round.
2. The White Queen refuses to answer continuously, but her answer is always true.
3. The Red Queen doesn't care if she is asked consecutive questions, anyway, it's up to her to decide whether to answer and what to answer.
4. The problem cards only exist for one round, and will be reset after the next round of the game starts.
Next game? Mo Xiaoyao lowered his head and pondered, did he already play a game before he knew it? No, maybe it's not that I don't know, the progress of the main task is consistent with the reduction of the San value, at least this point, I guessed it right in the illusion.
Anyway, let's use up the question cards first, the known information is too messy, and Mo Xiaoyao feels that she needs someone else to help her sort it out.
"Black Queen, I have a question."
Mo Xiaoyao took out a question card, and as she said the key words, the card floated into the air from her hand, flashing black light, looking like some evil priest.
"Please tell me, cute little human being, you are the fastest progresser, so of course you can ask questions." The Black Queen didn't put down her fan, and although she couldn't see her expression clearly, she could still hear the joy in her voice.
"I want to know—" Mo Xiaoyao was referring to Jiang Yan, "how can he and I leave your tea party, the real one."
"You wasted a wonderful opportunity, little girl." The Black Queen shook her head regretfully, "Your companion has already asked about this."
Mo Xiaoyao: "Then can't I ask again?"
Black Queen: "Of course you can ask again, I just feel sorry for you, obviously you can ask other questions... This is your first question, are you sure you don't want to change it?"
Mo Xiaoyao raised her eyebrows, she was so familiar with the routines of variety shows, but no matter whether there were traps or rewards behind, she had to ask the most basic question first.
"I'm going to ask this, but I hope you don't answer me with 'you can leave as long as you clear the level' or something. I need more detailed explanations, not perfunctory - respectful Black Queen, you will not perfunctory me, yes Bar?"
The Black Queen seemed to froze for a moment, and then said as if nothing had happened: "Of course I won't perfuse you, I am the Black Queen—have you noticed your progress bar? As long as the progress reaches 100%, you can leave My tea party. Same with your little buddy, but he does it a little differently from you. Alas, alas, it's really hard to talk so much, why don't you see for yourself."
After finishing speaking, the Black Queen waved the fan, and Mo Xiaoyao saw a few lines of words slowly appear on the inner wall of his cup.
It's a position that won't be seen by others, and apparently her questions are being shared, not the answers.
1. Every guest who comes with an invitation will be the guest of the Black Queen. They are allowed to drink a cup of tea every round and have a small interaction with the tea pet in the cup.
2. Every stowaway who does not have an invitation card will become a tea pet after passing the initial test. They are allowed to occupy a cup alone and have a small interaction with the guests who choose a cup.
3. The interaction will be ranked according to the results, and the fixed San value of the top three will be reduced by 15%, 10%, and 5% respectively. As well as an additional reward of 5% reduction in San value for all participants.
4. Additional rewards will be distributed by the guests, tea pets have no right to participate.
5. Except for special circumstances, guests are not allowed to choose the same cup of tea twice in a row.
6. Generally speaking, the customer with the highest progress bar has the first choice.
7. During the current pairing, if the progress bar of a guest or tea pet reaches 100%, you can immediately clear the customs and leave the tea party, but the progress bar of the other one will be cleared, and you can continue to participate in the next tea party. (No matter who leaves, new people will come in)
8. If the progress bar of the guest and tea pet reaches 100% during the current pairing, as a special reward, they will get a [Black Queen's Edict] to realize the wish of a black queen within their capabilities.
The handwriting appeared and disappeared quickly. Mo Xiaoyao's gaze was like an eraser. Wherever he looked, it disappeared. Fortunately, she has a superb memory now, and there are no mistakes or omissions, so it doesn't hinder anything.
Although the Black Queen couldn't see the words in the cup, she knew the progress of the disappearance very well. As soon as the last word disappeared, she spoke.
"After answering the first question, it's time for you to use the next question card, little girl."
Mo Xiaoyao thought for a while, and raised the question card to the Red Queen: "Second question, I would like to ask the Red Queen, what are the conditions for getting the invitation?"
The Red Queen patted the table with both hands, causing the cup and saucer to jump up together. Mo Xiaoyao slipped and fell into the cup in embarrassment, causing the Red Queen to burst into laughter.
"Hahahahahahaha!! What a fun tea pet!! Black Queen, I'm taking her after the tea party - you know I love collecting soul whisperers, they're all so rare and shiny , and they are all cunning."
The Red Queen didn't mean to answer the question, but her words had exposed enough information, and Mo Xiaoyao felt that this was much better than her direct answer.
So, this is a dungeon for Soul Whisperers
After coming in as a soul whisperer, will you get a hell mode difficulty
So, did the Lord of Hell do it on purpose
Mo Xiaoyao thought, yes.
The Black Queen was already urging Mo Xiaoyao: "There is one more question left, so hurry up and ask, little girl, we can't wait to start drinking tea."
"Okay, I want to ask the White Queen." Mo Xiaoyao picked up her last question card, "I want to know, is everything I experienced just now real?"
The White Queen showed a troubled look, thought for a few seconds, and then said softly: "I don't want to answer this question, it will make my sister Black Queen feel uncomfortable... But since this is the first question you asked me, I think there is more to say."
The black queen let out a dissatisfied cold snort when she heard the words, and the white queen smiled apologetically at her, and then spoke to Mo Xiaoyao again.
"As you have seen, apart from our three sisters, there are quite a few guests. To make a cup of tea for each person, and each cup of tea must be accompanied by a tea pet, it must be screened—the soul whisperer must be a tea pet." A pet, but a tea pet may not be a soul whisperer."
Having said that, the White Queen paused, and once again glanced at the Black Queen who had dropped her fan, and speeded up her speech to answer.
"The illusion you experienced may be real or false, everything depends on you, but I hope you can—"
"Okay, you've said enough, my dear sister." The Black Queen interrupted the White Queen roughly, omitting even her favorite mouth fetish, "Let's get ready for tea , my guests have been waiting impatiently for a long time... isn't it?"
"No, I don't mind waiting." After Mo Xiaoyao appeared in the teacup, Jiang Yan spoke for the first time. His expression was very indifferent, but the next sentence revealed the key point that Mo Xiaoyao wanted to know Message, "After all I've just witnessed my friend's horror experience and seen a great show by someone from the same place as me, tsk tsk, it's exhausting."
He knows what he did in the illusion, so does it include his mission progress? Mo Xiaoyao raised his head to look at Jiang Yan, and met the eyes of the huge him, seeing the same thought in each other's eyes.
In this game, the key to leaving is to have the progress bar of both of them reach 100% at the same time.
The author has something to say: This tea favorite is not that tea favorite, but they are almost the same~
Probably the story is like this: Xiaoyao, as a soul whisperer, enters the dungeon and enters the phantom directly. Jiang Yan is not a soul whisperer, but a fire transmitter, so he has an invitation. Meng Danyang also had invitations, so the two of them were the guest group sitting at the table. If the guest group is hard difficulty, Xiaoyao's tea pet group is hell difficulty. The tea pet group must break through the illusion to officially enter the tea party dungeon, and the guest group has been there since the beginning. The key to breaking through is to reduce the san value, the more you reduce, the higher the progress bar.
