Ding Dong! The blue team's story progress is 0%, there are 6 survivors left and 1 dead.
After the blue team's costume change mission was completed, the plot progress did not increase at all, only 0%!
Wait, what is plot progression
"Is this really a pvp game? Our opponent is the red team?" After listening to the broadcast, the yellow-haired man looked unhappy.
Since the death of a fat man, the only young and middle-aged men left are Xia Qi, the yellow-haired man and a lame young man.
Xia Qi raised his head, looked at the back of the butler walking in front, and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
Although the fat man looked like he had fallen to his death, it was definitely related to the butler who had a fake smile on his face.
Xia Qi suspected that this game also had copy monsters or other special existences that could cause the death of players.
"No, this game is not just a pvp game." Xia Qi said in a low voice.
There are also NPCs with ill intentions.
At this time, they had arrived at the third floor. When passing through the corridor connecting the corner towers, Xia Qi discovered that there was a row of regular shooting holes on the wall of the corridor, indicating that this Rose Castle was not only used for daily life, it could also be used as a strict battle fortress.
Xia Qi slowed down his pace, deliberately falling behind the crowd, and came to the old man walking at the end, whispering: "Old man, are you really not going to cooperate with your teammates?"
The old man was the first one on the blue team to change into women's clothes. I don't know if it was because of the old man's bad taste, but he specially picked a pink cake doll dress and wore a bow of the same color on his head.
If you ignore the old man's face that looks so old that it looks like it could be rubbed off, this set of doll clothes still makes him look very youthful.
"I'm just an ordinary old man. I don't understand what you are saying?" The old man chuckled twice, his expression still very obscene.
Seeing that the old man refused to admit that he was an old player, Xia Qi had to give up.
Everyone followed the butler and filed into the restaurant.
The long table in the restaurant was covered with a white tablecloth, and there was a set of silver cutlery in front of each seat. There was also a rose in the vase next to the plate.
After they sat down, the maids continued to serve the guests delicious food. The first course was a small salad, followed by bread and butter, and finally a bowl of red borscht.
Because the fat man had just died so tragically, no one had any appetite, especially since the borscht was stewed with tomatoes, which reminded people of the plasma flowing out of the fat man's head.
However, the old man next to Xia Qi was eating happily.
The old man saw Xia Qi looking at him, put down his fork, and said to him: "Young man, eat more while you can, otherwise you won't be able to eat when you want to."
Just before changing clothes, the old man reminded all his teammates, but unfortunately the fat man didn't listen.
Thinking of the fat man's fate, Xia Qi decided to eat well.
At the end of the dinner, the butler casually glanced at the remaining food on the table, with a very satisfied expression, and said: "The ladies present are indeed all ladies from noble families."
A lady from a noble family
Does it mean that they eat too little, which is more in line with the image of a lady from a noble family
Xia Qi didn't think that these cross-dressing guys were "ladies from noble families". They ate less because they were too disgusted to eat.
"Ladies, please follow me to the banquet hall," the butler said again.
When the butler left the restaurant first, the old man quickly grabbed a silver knife on the table and hid it in his puff sleeves.
After hiding the dinner knife, the old man also took away the silver fork. If the dinner plate wasn't so big, Xia Qi would have strongly suspected that he would have stolen the dinner plate as well.
Looking at the old man's skillful "techniques", Xia Qi suddenly had an idea in his mind and remembered the concept of "plot progress".
He reached out and picked up a rose from the vase.
Ding Dong! The blue team's plot progress is 1%!
Can it actually increase the plot progress
Xia Qi looked at the ordinary rose in his hand and thought, what kind of clue can this be
"Take a look at the prop introduction and you'll know." As if seeing Xia Qi's confusion, the old man reminded.
Xia Qi brought up the system panel to check the properties of the rose.
Item name: Rose.
Other notes: The beautiful roses, decorated on your collar, will make you more charming and attractive.
Xia Qi couldn't help but frown. It was already eye-catching enough for him to wear women's clothes. Wouldn't it be even more eye-catching if he wore a rose...
“This is a good clue.”
The old man also took a rose, and after reading the introduction, he put the rose on his collar without hesitation.
Xia Qi lowered his head, bent the rose branch and pinned it to his collar.
Anyway, let's give it a try.
After the blue team members entered the banquet hall, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the hall.
"Hahahaha, the old, weak, sick and disabled people on the blue side have all turned into cross-dressing guys!"
"Ah! My eyes!"
The red team was filled with laughter. They had originally thought that the old, weak and sick members of the blue team were not a big deal, but they did not expect that the blue team was so unlucky that they were forced to wear women's clothes before losing the game!
The crowd's laughter reached its peak when the old man in doll costume entered.
"Fuck, this old man is so disgusting!"
"Hahahaha ugh... I feel like throwing up."
Xia Qi took a deep breath and walked into the banquet hall.
The moment he walked in, the laughter in the hall suddenly stopped as if a switch was pressed.
A man muttered, "Who is this? Why didn't I see such a beautiful girl on the blue side just now?"
Hearing everyone's discussion, Cha Gong frowned and looked towards the door of the banquet hall. When he saw the person coming, he couldn't help but gasp.
At the door, a tall woman in a rose-red, chest-length Rococo dress was cautiously walking in with her back against the wall. She lowered her head slightly, the blush on her cheeks spread to her ears, making the transparent white skin under her collarbone look as dazzling as pearls.
Cha Gong felt all the blood in his body rush to his head.
"How can he wear such a low-cut dress?!" Cha Gong was so angry that his lips were trembling.
The man next to Cha Gong sighed: "Yes, it would be such a pity if such a sexy beauty died in the game..."
Listening to the red team members commenting on Xia Qi's appearance, Zha Gong finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily to everyone: "Are you blind? That's a man!"
"Fuck, a man? Brother Cha, could this man be the one with the surname Xia?"
Cha Gong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
As soon as Xia Qi entered the room, he felt the fiery gazes of the Red Army, two of which were particularly different.
The first gaze came from Cha Gong. Cha Gong looked at him with anger, as if he wanted to eat him alive. The other gaze came from the young master. The young master looked at him with shining eyes, which contained both jealousy and envy.
Xia Qi turned his neck uncomfortably and thought, what is there to envy about wearing women's clothes
After everyone arrived, the butler walked slowly into the hall and said loudly to everyone: "Dear ladies and gentlemen, the dance is about to begin. Please find your favorite dance partner and dance to your heart's content!"
Congratulations to the blue team for accepting the mission: find the most handsome guy on the dance floor!
Task description: After searching for him for a long time, please find a dance partner of the opposite sex and dance with him/her!
Mission countdown: 00:29:59.
After the mission was issued, the crystal chandelier on the top of the banquet hall suddenly dimmed, leaving only a row of small candles flashing red on the wall.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The piano and orchestra gradually sounded. It was a minuet in three beats. The rhythm was not too brisk. Under the dim candlelight, it seemed particularly gentle and elegant.
"What kind of mission is this? Are we forced to choose a dance partner of the opposite sex from the blue team?" Amid the music, the red team members were discussing heatedly.
In games, sometimes the "opposite sex" recognized is not necessarily the person's own gender, but the gender recognized by the game.
Obviously, the "blue team" dressed up is identified as "female" by the game.
"The blue team is one person short, and we have one more than them... Oops, I'll go first!" Only 6 people from the blue team just came in, but the red team has a total of 7 people. The number of people on the red and blue teams is not equal, so there must be one person from the red team left alone!
In an instant, the cross-dressing guy on the blue team became a hot commodity.
"I'd rather dance with the red team than that disgusting old man."
"It's not up to you now!"
No one wants to be left behind. Given the nature of the sin game, those who fail to complete their mission will die without knowing how they died.
Just as Xia Qi was hesitating, a familiar figure pushed through the crowd and walked towards him quickly.
It's Cha Gong!
Xia Qi tensed his body and kept backing away. He didn't want to be a dance partner with a scumbag like Cha Gong. It was too disgusting.
Because he stepped back too quickly, he accidentally stepped on the hem of his skirt.
"Why-"
Xia Qi fell backwards, and just as he was falling, a hand suddenly wrapped around his waist and gently lifted him up.
"Thank you!" Xia Qi politely grasped the other person's arm and slowly stood firm.
At this time, the man said in his ear: "Madam, please be careful."
His voice was as elegant as a cello, and his tone was particularly deep and charming. Xia Qi's ears were numb for a moment by the voice. He immediately took a step back and looked at the other person.
The lights on the dance floor dimmed again.
Because the light on the dance floor was too dim, Xia Qi squinted and could only vaguely see the man's outline.
Judging from the shadow the other party created for him, the man was very tall, probably about 1.9 meters tall.
Xia Qi remembered that the red team did have a very tall man, so he felt a little relieved.
"Madam, may I ask you to dance with me?" The man bowed slightly to Xia Qi and invited him.
Xia Qi looked in the direction where Cha Gong came from and found that Cha Gong was gone.
He finally got away from this scumbag.
"Madam?" Seeing Xia Qi distracted, the man gently reminded, "Can I ask you to dance with me?"
Unexpectedly, the people on the red side were so polite, which gave Xia Qi the illusion that "there are good people on the red side too."
He replied, "Okay, okay."
"Thank you, I haven't danced for a long time." The man smiled shyly and carefully lifted Xia Qi's hand. Without waiting for Xia Qi to react, the man suddenly pulled him into his arms.
The two bodies collided instantly, and Xia Qi was hugged by the man.
The man smelled very nice, with elegant rose top notes and sandalwood amber base notes, which made people feel favorable. In addition, the two were very close, so Xia Qi looked up and finally saw his appearance clearly.
The man wore a golden classical larva Venetian mask on the upper half of his face, and under the mask was an overly delicate chin. As if he noticed that he was looking at him, the man curled his lips and smiled slightly: "Madam, are you ready?"
When they first entered the banquet hall, all the men on the red side were wearing suits and golden masks. The man's appearance made Xia Qi sure that he was the tall man on the red side.
"I actually... can't dance." Xia Qi said rather embarrassedly.
He glanced around secretly and found that everyone had already started dancing according to the requirements of the task.
Although, their dancing postures are very awkward.
"Ma'am, it's okay, you can dance with me." The man chuckled, put his fingers through Xia Qi's fingers, and clasped his fingers tightly, while his other hand fell down and rested on Xia Qi's waist.
