Guo Yue sat down on the ground, looking at the weird and terrifying old man, she wanted to run, but her legs were weak and she couldn't run at all.
She also wanted to call, but reason told her that this was not a good choice.
Although the yellow-haired young man and the muscular man in front of her were still standing there, they met by chance and were just temporary companions. If they were in danger, they would definitely not save her.
Guo Yue regretted that if she had known she would not have told them there was a door behind the cabinet.
After the game started, everyone searched separately. The hall that was placed in front of everyone was turned upside down first, and after confirming that nothing was found. They temporarily divided into three or two teams, and went to the side room to check.
Guo Yue was timid, she didn't dare to leave the hall and run to the side, so she just squatted in the hall alone and continued to rummage, but she didn't expect that she really found something. Pushing open the tall cabinet, there was actually a wooden door behind it. Without even thinking about it, she immediately called other people to help, but now...
It's better not to open it.
The old man stood up, and slowly patted the dust off his body, shaking off a bunch of cobwebs and a pile of spider shells that had been dead for an unknown amount of time.
He seemed to have been inactive for a long time, his back was hunched, and only a handful of bones remained. When you move, you can hear the sound of bones colliding.
Those cloudy eyes were deeply buried in the sunken eye sockets. When looking at people, they would turn around after a long time, which made people feel more and more cold behind.
Seeing that he seemed to want to walk towards them, Guo Yue desperately grasped the wooden stick in his hand, and his hopeful eyes fell on Pei Hu who was chasing him down.
In her heart, if anyone can solve this terrifying old man in front of her, it must be Pei Hu. Who told him that he was an old man who had experienced the game several times? He must have bought a lot of good things with points like in the novel, right
Pei Hu didn't let her down either. He strode over the yellow-haired youth and the muscular man, and then showed a simple and honest smile in the shocked eyes of everyone, and bowed respectfully.
"Dare to ask this uncle, are you from the orphanage?"
The old man looked up at him, stood there for a while, and then slowly said: "Yes, my family lives close together, and I have no children, so I come here to be a janitor and earn some pension money." .”
"Oh," Pei Hu responded, not caring about the old man's indifference, and continued to chat with him enthusiastically.
"We are people from the hospital. I heard that one of your children is sick and needs to be sent to see a doctor. Is that true?"
The old man didn't raise his eyelids this time: "Well, there is one more."
Pei Hu: "Then can we take him away?"
The old man: "Okay, as long as he is willing to go with you. But it's too late today, and it's not convenient for you to travel. You might as well stay here for one night before leaving."
Pei Hu: "Okay, then I will trouble you."
As soon as the two sang together, they quickly decided on where everyone would stay tonight. The originally eerie scene suddenly turned into a chat and accommodation, and the others were stunned.
Qi Yu felt that this scene looked familiar, so he couldn't help but mutter something in a low voice.
"How come it looks like chatting with an NPC before accepting a mission in the game."
As soon as the words fell, I heard a beep in my head, and a familiar light screen jumped out in front of me.
[Inspire the main task: Accommodation.]
[Task requirements: successfully spend one night in the room provided by the orphanage.]
[Reward: Information about the surviving child.]
Qi Yu: "..."
Never thought that blindness was right.
Thanks to him for taking the risk of failing in college and playing games unremittingly.
He saw the task here, and of course the others saw it too. While continuing to chat with the old man, Pei Hu secretly gave him a thumbs up from behind. The way other people look at him has also evolved from "weak little boy" to "fuck this little boy's brains are quite good."
Qi Yu: "..."
If he had known that he wouldn't be talking nonsense, he had a polite and well-behaved smirk on his face, only three words in his heart.
I am so hungry.
He is really going to be hungry, and he will live in the orphanage tonight. I don't know if there will be food here. Now if anyone has something to eat, even if the other party is a ghost, he will politely negotiate with the other party before considering the matter of escaping.
So, the game shouldn't be so bad that it starves the players to death, right
The game is that bad.
Perhaps Qi Yu's performance just now gave the newcomers a little face, Pei Hu's patience with them has improved a lot, and when he saw Qi Yu, there was an obvious smile on his face.
"It's a good thing you didn't do it yourself just now," he took the initiative to point out: "This is your first game, I don't know that sometimes the game will place NPCs in the plot, and they usually don't take the initiative to attack the player, but they will provide us with some Important information."
"Players can also take the initiative to talk. Anyway, you should be respectful and don't mess around, and they will definitely tell you some information. This is the only benefit that the game arranges for players, so you can't miss it easily, otherwise the game will be very difficult later. It is possible that customs clearance may not be possible due to lack of information.”
As for the consequences of not being able to clear the customs, everyone is very clear, that is, closing your eyes and belching.
Everyone was still young and didn't want to see Hades so early, so they all listened carefully.
Only Qi Yu looked at Pei Hu, hesitating to speak, his eyes full of longing.
It's evening, where shall we go for dinner
Pei Hu saw his longing, he thought he wanted to know how to arrange tonight, and with the mentality of cultivating good seedlings patiently, he told everyone in detail about the conversation he just had with the old man.
In fact, it's nothing special, just discuss where the big guy lives at night, and then try to get other information from him by the way.
From the mouth of the old man, they finally knew a little information about this orphanage.
The orphanage is considered a public institution, which is jointly sponsored by the country and a well-known local company. At the beginning, the funds were sufficient, and everything could be arranged in place for someone to adopt. But they are actually a small town, and the government is not too rich, so they basically rely on that enterprise to support them.
Later, the company went bankrupt, and their orphanage closed down.
Most of the orphans were sent away, leaving only him, the caretaker, with a few children. The old man didn't say why those children were not sent away, but only vaguely said that they were sick and couldn't leave. And he, the gatekeeper, will not leave until the last child leaves. This is the agreement he signed.
He didn't say what the specific agreement was, but it wasn't a very happy agreement, otherwise, how could he have become like this, still watching the door here.
Qi Yu suspects that the other party who signed the agreement with the old man is the game, otherwise there is no way to explain why he became an NPC.
He called this behavior maliciously extending the employment period.
It is very likely that at that time it was just bullying the elderly who were not literate, digging pits to collect NPCs, and playing games for profiteers!
It can be seen that knowledge changes life!
Although he, as a new generation of educated youth, has also been reduced to working for the game, trying to earn points to survive, but he is still very optimistic.
So, when to eat
He is really hungry.
Under Qi Yu's expectant gaze, the old NPC floated over.
He was carrying a bunch of keys in his hand.
"This is the key corresponding to the room you are staying in tonight. There are three rooms in total."
The old man made a random move, like an eagle catching chickens, counted two of the players, and handed them a bunch of keys.
The short-haired girl Guo Yue lived with the muscular guy, the yellow-haired young man lived with the thin man with glasses, the long-haired girl who didn't talk much lived with Pei Hu, and the rest...
Qi Yu: "???"
Qi Yu asked blankly: "Then what about me? Where should I live, sir?"
"You?" The uncle glanced at him, twisting the corner of his mouth to reveal a twisted and terrifying smile, "Didn't you already choose the room, why do you still want to ask me?"
Why has he already chosen the room
Qi Yu almost went up against the police, he was thrown away here before he even had time to eat, he followed around just now, he didn't even touch the door, where is the time to go...
Hey, I haven't touched the door, but he seems to have touched a lock...
Thinking of the lock that opened automatically in front of him, Qi Yu's face turned blue.
No way…
Everyone is a newcomer, why is there special treatment for him to play games? He doesn't remember what cheats he bought
Regardless of whether it is cheating or not, the room has already been set anyway, and the player has no right to change it. After the old man gave the key, he continued to drill into his own room, as if he had finished his get off work and was about to leave work, and refused to disturb was written all over his face.
Qi Yu didn't dare to pull him, so he could only look at Pei Hu aggrievedly.
Pei Hu sighed, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Things are not that bad, the game often engages in some showy operations, maybe it's just a matter of sleeping alone for a night. Man, don't be cowardly, bring more tools , if you encounter something... "
"Just work hard on your own."
MMP!
Qi Yu cursed angrily in his heart, which meant that he couldn't help.
If he is unlucky, is he about to die? !
With tears in his eyes, Qi Yu grabbed Pei Hu's hand.
"I will work hard, Brother Pei, will you have dinner for the game?"
Pei Hu: "..."
Qi Yu: "The game lasts for 48 hours, two full days. It's not true that we won't be given a bite of food, right? Wouldn't that mean we want to starve us to death?"
The corner of Pei Hu's mouth twitched. He originally wanted to tell Qi Yu that some food would be refreshed in the game at the specified time, but for some reason, seeing his longing eyes, the words he blurted out became:
"I brought a can of beef."
Qi Yu: "!!!!"
On the second floor of the orphanage, a locked window was suddenly pushed open. A slender figure was leaning against the window. He could be seen picking up the quilts on the bed and shaking them, then throwing them aside with disgust.
After a while, the dusty bed was cleaned up.
And spread a cute pink floral quilt, four pieces in one color.
The author has something to say: Gong: Please tidy up the room and wait for my wife to sleep with me.
Qi Yu: Ah, Dad! Whoever gave me canned beef is my dad!
attack:? ? ? ?
Pei Hu:? ? ? ? Murderous? !
Ahhh I'm catching up, I'm catching up! I updated it before twelve o'clock, I didn't goo!
Sickness makes people scream, and the original plan to save manuscripts is cold, hahaha, everyone can only watch me sprint crazily every day to catch up with updates.
