When Xia Qi woke up again, he found himself standing in front of a glowing door.
Looking at the door, he asked himself, "Is this the entrance to the game?"
That's right, you have 1 minute left to prepare.
It’s still that lively electronic sound.
This game actually comes with its own artificial intelligence customer service
Xia Qi found that the magic wand of True Love was still in his hand, and asked, "Can I bring the magic wand in too?"
This is your personal item that can be used in the game. Of course, you can also store it in your backpack at other times.
Backpack
Xia Qi followed the system and silently repeated the word "backpack". In an instant, a UI panel appeared in front of him with a total of 4 grids on it.
This should be a backpack.
"Is this how you put the magic wand in?" Xia Qi raised the magic wand and moved it towards the empty square.
Sure enough, when he was about to touch the empty square, the magic wand instantly flew out of his hand and occupied the square.
This customer service system is quite smart.
Preparation time is over!
In an instant, Xia Qi felt himself rising into the air and flying towards the light gate.
Map loading... Player matching successful!
After a flash of dazzling white light, Xia Qi's surroundings gradually became clear, and decorations and human figures began to appear.
Dear survivors, in this copy, all survivors will be divided into two camps: red and blue. Now, please choose your favorite camp!
After blinking again, Xia Qi found himself in the center of a gorgeous European-style hall.
On the left and right sides of the hall, there are two faint lights, cutting the entire square hall into three areas.
Floating above his head were the three big characters “Pending Area”, and the two areas on the left and right were “Blue Camp” and “Red Camp”.
Xia Qi counted the number of people and found that the blue camp and the red camp had the same number of people, 6 people each.
The place where he was standing happened to be the "pending area". At this moment, there was a young man with a confused expression standing next to him, and it seemed that he was also entering the game for the first time.
"Xia Qi! Come to me!" At this time, a familiar voice sounded.
Xia Qi turned his head and saw Cha Gong in the red camp area, anxiously pushing through the crowd and looking at him.
Apparently, Cha Gong also came to this game.
Just as Cha Gong was about to continue speaking, the young master suddenly rushed out and yelled at Xia Qi: "Give my things back to me!"
It's true that enemies always meet again, and they met here again.
"What is it?" Xia Qi asked.
"Don't play dumb, you know what it is... Ngghhh!"
The young master originally pointed at Xia Qi and shouted angrily, but before he could finish his words, Cha Gong hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Xia Qi's brows gradually frowned. Could it be that the young master was talking about the ticket that he accidentally threw to him
From the system's prompt just now, Xia Qi guessed that the ticket was the "S-level item lottery ticket", but unfortunately he accidentally confirmed its use, and the lottery ticket had been turned into a "true love magic wand" by him.
"Lin Qing, now is not the time to talk about this. He has that in his hand..." Cha Gong whispered a few words to the young master. The young master glared at Xia Qi, then pursed his lips in grievance.
Looking at the strange expressions of the two, Xia Qi frowned, vaguely feeling that something was not right about the whole thing, so he decided to wait and see for the time being.
If compensation is possible, it would not be a bad idea for him to give them one later.
After calming the young master down, Cha Gong walked a few steps forward and came to the edge of the red area.
He seemed to be very sincere in inviting Xia Qi: "Xia Qi, come to our red camp. I will guarantee your safety."
ensure
Xia Qi sneered secretly. If he remembered correctly, three years ago when this person knelt in front of him and begged him to agree to date him, he also said the word "promise", right
Xia Qi folded his hands and said, "What if I say 'no'?"
Cha Gong tried hard to maintain a smile on his face and continued in a gentle voice: "Look back at the blue team, they are all old, weak and sick."
Hearing this, Xia Qi turned around and looked towards the blue area.
As Cha Gong said, the members of the blue camp, except for a fat man who looked like a mountain of flesh, the rest were a hunchbacked old man, two female students in JK uniforms, a skinny yellow-haired man, and a cripple. This group of people perfectly interpreted what was meant by "old, weak, sick and disabled".
Xia Qi looked behind Cha Gong again. The members of the red team were all in high spirits. Compared with the sickly members of the blue team, they were full of youthful vigor.
Seeing Xia Qi looking thoughtful, Cha Gong continued to persuade him: "If you join us, we will definitely help you pass the game."
It turns out that this game requires completion.
Xia Qi had played many games before and knew that the word "clear" meant more than just passing the game, it might also mean whether one could survive.
Seeing that Cha Gong and Xia Qi were "having a great time talking", the young master pursed his lips and quietly pulled his sleeve.
Cha Gong quickly shook off his hand and whispered, "Stop it."
Xia Qi pretended not to notice the little movements of the two people opposite him, and asked with pretended curiosity: "Really? How can you be sure that you can pass it?"
Cha Gong thought Xia Qi had believed it, and said impatiently: "Lin Qing and I have been preparing for a long time. Apart from us, they are all old players. Xia Qi, you used to listen to me the most. This time, you believe me, okay?"
As soon as Cha Gong finished speaking, a reminder suddenly sounded in Xia Qi's ears:
True Love Value +1
Hearing the noise, Xia Qi gasped in anger.
Let’s not talk about the true love value first. How could Cha Gong, who is such a scumbag, have true love for him and increase his true love value? !
Bah, does Cha Gong deserve the word "true love"? !
Xia Qi gritted his teeth and thought, this true love comes too strangely.
Thinking back carefully to their conversation, Xia Qi suddenly had a guess. Could it be that as long as he remained friendly to Cha Gong, he could make him increase his true love value
Xia Qi suppressed his nausea and continued to ask: "Then can you tell me what will happen in the game?"
Hearing this, Cha Gong saw that he was moved, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Xia Qi, come here, I will tell you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Qi once again heard the sound of his true love value increasing.
True Love Value +2
I didn't expect it to be so useful.
It seems that as long as you don't get angry at Cha Gong's cheating, you can keep increasing his true love value.
"How many true love points are needed to use the magic wand of true love?" Xia Qi asked the system in his mind.
Using the True Love Magic Wand once consumes 1,000 True Love points.
It takes 1000 points to activate it once? Why don't you just grab it from the system
Xia Qi suddenly felt that all his patience had been wasted. The 3 points of true love he had gained from Cha Gong were completely useless!
A scumbag is a scumbag, and he is stingy with his true love value.
At this turtle race pace, he would have to keep talking to Cha Gong until next month before he would have the chance to activate the magic wand of true love.
Xia Qi thought in annoyance as he walked towards the red area.
Cha Gong couldn't hide the smile on his face, and said to his teammates very proudly: "He usually listens to me the most. I said he would definitely come!"
Xia Qi listened to the voice of true love value +1 in his ear, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Cha Gong had already walked to the edge of the red area and stretched out his hand to him: "Xia Qi, come here quickly."
When Xia Qi was only ten centimeters away from the red team's area, he suddenly took a step forward with his left foot, turned neatly, and rushed straight towards the blue team's camp area.
It would be strange if he believed him.
"Xia Qi, stop making trouble!"
Cha Gong couldn't help but yelled, but before he finished his words, Xia Qi had already entered the blue area, and a system prompt suddenly rang in everyone's mind.
The red and blue camps have been assigned, dear survivors, let’s start the fun game!
The dividing line in the center of the hall disappeared instantly. In a blink of an eye, the floor turned into an intricate red-toned Persian carpet. The beige wall coverings of the hall were covered with quaint grape vine patterns. The brass chandelier in the central hall lit up with gentle light. In an instant, the whole world was shrouded in a European atmosphere.
Looking at the changes around him, Xia Qi couldn't help but be shocked.
Just then, a middle-aged man walked down the spiral staircase in the center of the hall.
He was wearing a black tuxedo and stopped in the middle of the hall.
The middle-aged man bowed towards the blue area and said in a graceful tone: "Dear ladies, welcome to Rose Castle. I am the butler Oss."
Miss
Xia Qi could be sure that except for two female high school students, everyone else around them was male.
"Why does he call us ladies?"
"Is the butler blind?"
There was an obvious loophole in the housekeeper's words, and the teammates couldn't help but grumble.
Then the butler turned to the Red team and said, "Dear gentlemen, welcome to the Rose Castle."
"Ha, there's something wrong with this butler's eyes. Aren't there two women on their side?" The teammates continued to complain. This butler really has something wrong with his eyes. He called the men on the blue side "Madam" and called the red side, which obviously had women, "Sir."
After the butler finished greeting the red team, he suddenly walked towards the blue team and waved his hand elegantly at them: "Now, ladies, please follow me."
Xia Qi followed the housekeeper up the spiral staircase. At this moment, Cha Gong called him from behind and said to him loudly: "Xia Qi! Be careful!"
Xia Qi pursed his lips and did not linger on what Cha Gong said.
He and Cha Gong have parted ways, and whether in reality or in the game, he will never look back.
After reaching the second floor, they came to a long corridor. Compared to the hall which was still lit, the corridor was particularly dark and eerie with flickering candlelight.
There are two rows of portrait oil paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor. Except for the first painting which is a single-person portrait, each painting is a double painting of a couple.
In the double oil painting, the man and the woman have dignified expressions and elegant manners. The woman wears an overly charming Rococo-style dress and the same red diamond ring on her hand. I don’t know if it is for aesthetic reasons, but these portraits paint the skin of the man and the woman very white, making them look sickly.
At the beginning, the style of the portrait was very normal, until the seventh painting, when the style began to change suddenly. In the portrait, the woman was holding the man's hand and resting her head on his shoulder, but the upper half of the woman's face looked like it had been run over by a truck, and brain matter mixed with blood was flowing from her hair, dyeing her entire face red.
Even though her face was covered in blood, she was still smiling with satisfaction. The curve of her mouth was different from that of an ordinary person, almost reaching her ears.
"Fuck! Isn't it creepy to hang a painting like this?" The fat man walking behind Xia Qi was obviously frightened by this horrifying oil painting.
"Oh my god! I'm so scared!"
Everyone who passed by this painting would be frightened. As if affected by the terrifying atmosphere in the corridor, everyone began to quicken their pace, hoping to stay away from these paintings.
Xia Qi walked the slowest. When he reached the end of the corridor, he suddenly felt a vague gaze behind him, so he quickly turned around and looked toward the corridor.
Unfortunately, there was no one in the corridor.
Xia Qi walked back and looked at all the paintings from back to front again. He suddenly felt strange: "Maybe I am hallucinating."
Xia Qigang was about to chase his teammates when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a warm golden light flashing on the first portrait in the corridor.
That was the only portrait of a single person. When he just came in, Xia Qi couldn't help but take a glance at it.
Xia Qi decided to go forward and take a look.
When he stood in front of the portrait again, he was immediately attracted.
Unlike the other two-person portraits that have a scary atmosphere, this single-person portrait is full of sunshine and positive energy.
The tall young man in the painting is standing in front of a bush of bright roses. His blond hair is like a brilliant crown. He is wearing a dark red Clark suit and the slim vest makes his waist look thin.
He lowered his head slightly, gazing at the red rose in his hand that was still covered with dew. Under his eyelashes that were like a row of small fans, his eyes seemed to contain a pool of lake water with a little bit of the blue of the sky. In the dim candlelight, his eyes looked affectionate and gentle.
"It's a good painting." Xia Qi couldn't help but praise it.
After admiring the portrait, Xia Qi turned around again and quickly caught up with the main group.
When Xia Qi left the corridor, the man in the portrait moved his eyes slightly and looked in the direction where he disappeared.
Xia Qi followed the butler into a huge cloakroom.
This is a cloakroom for ladies. There are all kinds of women's skirts hanging on the hangers, which is dazzling to look at.
"Ladies, please dress up. I will lead you to the restaurant for dinner in 30 minutes." The butler smiled at everyone and then emphasized, "Ladies, please make sure to wear your dresses."
After the housekeeper finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in Xia Qi's ears.
Congratulations to Blue for accepting the task: Who is the most beautiful woman
Task description: Put on a beautiful dress and you will be the most beautiful woman!
Mission countdown: 00:29:59.
Is this... a countdown to changing clothes
After the housekeeper left, the members of the blue team looked at each other with confused looks in their eyes.
Xia Qi couldn't help but think of what Cha Gong said about "old man". Looking at the appearance of his teammates on the blue team, they should all be newcomers like him, right
This is bad, they don’t even have an elderly person.
However, this made Xia Qi wonder why the old people would unanimously choose to join the red side and drive all the newcomers to their blue side
"I don't want to change clothes!" After entering the cloakroom, the first person to speak was the fat man who looked like a mountain of flesh.
The fat man had been holding back for a long time. After he entered this crappy game, he was first squeezed to the blue side by the red team, and then encountered various strange events. His spirit was extremely tense and his emotions were about to explode.
Looking at his teammates in a mess, Xia Qi instinctively felt something was wrong: "Everyone go change your clothes, I suspect this is a pvp game."
"What is a pvp game?" asked the youngest high school girl in the team.
"PvP stands for 'player versus player'. Red side and blue side are used to identify the enemy and our side." Xia Qi said calmly.
The only old man among the "old, weak, sick and disabled" in the team said "hmm" and gave him an admiring look: "You are a very smart young man."
Why are there tasks and countdowns for changing clothes? It is very likely to allow the red and blue teams to compete.
The fat man remained unmoved. Xia Qi was about to persuade him when the old man came to his side and whispered, "He will die sooner or later if he continues like this. It's better for him to die sooner..."
"Why is it better to die early?" Xia Qi looked at the old man puzzled.
The old man laughed dryly, grabbed a pink dress, and went into the small room: "If you don't change, I will! I, an old man, have priority!"
Watching the old man competing for the first place, Xia Qi suddenly suspected that this team might not be entirely made up of newcomers.
With the old man leading the team, the two female high school students also changed their clothes. The remaining men at the scene showed painful expressions and lamented: "It's disgusting! This is forcing us to become cross-dressing bosses!"
Xia Qi frowned and walked to the clothes rack.
As a newcomer, he could only do as he was asked before he figured out the rules of the game.
He picked out a very modest women's dress.
The dress is a dark rose red skirt with three layers. The top has a large lace collar that reaches the neck, and the cuffs have a lot of lace, which is inlaid with lace in each section.
At first glance, this suit looked difficult to wear. Xia Qi clumsily put himself on from top to bottom. But at this moment, the clothes seemed to have a soul. It suddenly pulled down automatically, and the two sleeves passed through his arms, and finally opened to the sides to wrap his back. Finally, the outermost skirt flipped back and tied a cute bow behind his buttocks.
Xia Qi: “…”
If he hadn't walked through that terrifying corridor just now, he might have thought he had traveled through time and space to a dress-up game?!
All in all, this game has completely lost its moral integrity. In order to force men to wear women's clothes, it even has an automatic dressing function.
Xia Qi was about to push open the door when a pitch-black wig fell on his head. Before he could react, the wig even started to automatically braid his hair...
Very good, they even arranged a wig for me, which is very thoughtful.
If you put some makeup on him, the service of the game system will be a five-star rating!
Before Xia Qi could finish his complaints, a feather covered in white powder flew towards him crookedly, lashing his cheeks and chest wildly...
After changing into the dress, Xia Qi walked out of the small room with a pale face.
"Fuck!"
The teammates have changed their clothes and come out. Except for two girls who look normal, the other men look very ugly.
When the men saw each other for the first time, they couldn't help but exclaim.
"What a shame!"
"Forcing a good woman into prostitution!"
The mission countdown ends!
With a creaky sound, the butler pushed open the door and arrived at the cloakroom. He looked at everyone with a smile on his face, until his eyes fell on the fat man, his face turned cold.
"Why don't you change your clothes!" The butler's gentle and polite tone disappeared, and his voice became colder than ever before.
The fat man looked at him with disdain: "I don't wear women's clothes, what can you do to me?"
The butler glanced at the fat man with a strange expression, then stopped looking at him, raised his hand towards the corridor, and said to everyone, "Ladies, please follow me to the dining room."
Seeing that the butler didn't get angry, the fat man smiled smugly: "I said he couldn't do anything to me."
The fat man held his head high and walked out first. Seeing that nothing unusual had happened, the others followed him, lifting their skirts.
He didn't know if it was Xia Qi's illusion, but when he passed the double portrait at the end of the corridor, he felt that the smile on the face of the woman with a bloody head became a little bigger.
The butler stopped at the corridor and motioned for the fat man to go down the stairs.
"Playing tricks!" The fat man glared at the housekeeper angrily and walked towards the stairs.
At this moment, the fat man felt something strange pulling his ankle. He didn't even have time to scream. His whole body tilted and he rolled down the stairs in an instant.
"ah!!!"
This is a curved spiral staircase, but the fat man's sturdy body rolled down from top to bottom at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. Finally, when his head made close contact with the tile floor, there was a loud "bang" sound similar to an earthquake.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, the fat man fell face down on a layer of white tiles, thick blood oozing from under his head. He just fell like a tomato, "pop", and the ground was covered with thick juice.
"Just, just fell to death like that?" The yellow-haired man, who had just been walking behind the fat man and witnessed the whole process of how the fat man fell to death, was sweating profusely and trembling all over.
At this moment, the fat man suddenly jumped up from his original position.
"How could he still be alive?!" the yellow-haired man exclaimed.
As if to answer the yellow-haired man's question, the fat man turned his head stiffly and looked in the direction of the yellow-haired man.
"Ugh—" The yellow-haired man vomited immediately after accidentally seeing the fat man's broken face.
There was a big gash on the fat man's forehead, and thick blood plasma mixed with white flocs covered his face. The fat man looked at everyone with wide eyes, as if he didn't understand why everyone was looking at him strangely.
"you… "
He stretched out his hands and took two steps toward the stairs. The two little girls couldn't stand this kind of stimulation. They let out a shrill scream and retreated towards the corridor.
The fat man seemed to be completely unaware of his condition. He used his hands and feet and climbed up the stairs in an extremely stiff posture like a quadruped.
“Huh—”
The moment he reached the second floor, a strange sound came from his throat.
When everyone saw him going upstairs, they all stepped back.
The fat man looked at everyone in a daze, and then followed everyone's gaze. When his eyes drifted to the painting at the end of the corridor, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up in an exaggerated arc to his ears.
Amid the screams of the crowd, the fat man quickly rushed to the depths of the corridor and knelt down in front of the last horrific double portrait.
When the fat man stopped moving, the butler smiled at everyone and raised his hand elegantly towards the spiral staircase on the third floor: "Now, ladies, please go to the dining room."
The mission of "Who is the most beautiful woman" is over!
The progress of the red and blue teams has been recorded... The progress of the plots of both sides is being settled...
After hearing the prompt tone, Xia Qi roughly understood the rules of the game.
The tasks released in the game must be completed. If the player fails to complete them, he will die unexpectedly like the fat man.
At the same time, after completing the task, both parties will settle the plot progress.
What makes Xia Qi curious is how much progress the red and blue teams have made in this round of the plot
