The flower bed in front of the villa is full of flowers and plants. Colorful chrysanthemums are in full bloom, colorful and charming. The faint floral fragrance permeates the air, which is sweet and smells good.
"Lisa, are you the only maid in the villa?"
"Yes,"
"Can you handle all these flowers and cleaning of the villa by yourself?"
"Yes, watering and cleaning do not need to be done every day. The workload is actually not that much."
After a while,
The silver-haired maid led six people into the villa.
The light suddenly dimmed, but there was no depressing gloomy atmosphere, and everything seemed normal.
"Guest, please come this way. This is the reception room."
Led by the maid, everyone came to the reception room on the right side of the first floor of the villa.
In the spacious reception room, a long marble table was quietly placed with a bouquet of lilies on it and ten solid wooden chairs next to it.
After the six people were seated, the maid smiled and said, "Please rest in the living room for a while. I will inform the young lady that the distinguished guests have arrived at the villa."
After saying this, the maid bowed slightly, stepped back slowly, and quietly closed the door of the living room. Her every move showed the quality and upbringing that a maid should have.
"It seems...there's nothing abnormal!"
The high school student spoke cautiously first, breaking the silence.
"The spooky game is not what it seems."
The calmer it is now, the more turbulent it will be in secret.
"See if there are any clues or useful information here."
After Leng Shuang finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to explore the living room.
"On the table."
Asuna discovered a piece of paper that appeared out of thin air on the stone table.
Lin Ye was nearby, so he stood up and picked up the paper. The three people opposite him took the initiative to walk around the long table and come over.
"《Reminders for Life in a Woodland Villa (Guest Edition)》"
"Strange rules?"
"We can survive if we follow the rules?"
This made the career beauty's eyes light up. Compared with the weirdness that appeared out of nowhere and could hurt people at will, she felt that this kind of weirdness with clear rules was safer.
“Not necessarily, but breaking the rules generally doesn’t end well.”
The words of the passerby changed the expressions of the two newlyweds.
Reminder 1: This villa does not allow quarrels and noisy behavior between guests. If it occurs, you will be asked to leave the villa.
提醒2:早上7:30到9:00,17:30到19:00为早餐和晚餐时间,请客人准时前往餐厅用餐。
Reminder 3: Maid Lisa hates wasting food, so please be sure not to waste food.
Reminder 4: After 10pm is the evening rest time. Guests are requested to return to their guest rooms to rest in time. If you hear any noise coming from outside the door, please ignore it.
Reminder 5: Miss Carter doesn’t like to hear about her grandfather, so please try to avoid this topic.
Reminder 6: It is human nature to love beauty, but please do not be malicious towards Miss Carter.
Reminder 7: German Shepherd John is very obedient. If he suddenly yells at you, please be sure not to run away.
Reminder 8: People cannot hurt people, but weirdness can kill people.
……
……
Several people returned to their seats, and this reminder was passed on one after another. The six people read it carefully again.
"For rule-based dungeons, if you have any ideas, just bring them up and discuss with each other to increase your survival rate."
Lin Ye didn't rush to tell his analysis. His eyes first fell on Leng Shuang.
"Observe the time, breakfast, dinner and bedtime. We need to confirm the time at the villa to prevent any time errors."
In the reception room, there is an old clock swinging, and the current time is 12:18.
Leng Shuang took out her pocket watch to adjust the time.
The passerby raised the mechanical watch on his left hand and began to check it.
Lin Ye noticed that Asuna didn't respond, "Ms. Asuna, have you adjusted the meter?"
She looked calm and shook her head slightly, "I don't have a mechanical watch."
The next second, Asuna saw Lin Ye take out a red mechanical watch and push it in front of her.
She was stunned, "Then you..."
"I brought two."
He brought three disposable raincoats and two mechanical watches. Does this guy have a phobia of running out of supplies?
"I would personally move the clock forward an hour out of an abundance of caution."
The passerby quickly understood what Lin Ye meant. "Brother Ling, you have thought it through carefully. If the mechanical watch with wrong time will not be affected by unknown forces, we can use the mechanical watch with wrong time to determine the current time."
Leng Shuang thought about it and took the initiative to say, "I will set my mechanical watch back one hour."
The time shown on the watches of the passerby and Asuna was consistent with the ancient clock in the reception room. The time on Lin Ye and Leng Shuang's mechanical watches were one hour fast and one hour slow respectively.
"I'm sorry, the two of us..."
The high school student was embarrassed to speak, but the career beauty Linlin was not embarrassed at all. As a person who had entered the society and worked in sales for several years, she was not embarrassed at all.
Salespeople who feel "embarrassed" will not achieve good results and will not be able to survive in the sales industry.
"Just follow our actions."
The passerby said with a smile, causing the career beauty to swallow back the advice she was about to say.
She suddenly realized one very important thing, that is, the old players had no obligation to protect them.
On the premise that the old players ensure their own safety, they will spare some time to take care of the two newcomers. However, how can they take care of the two newcomers when the old players have no spare energy?
These two newcomers are now a blatant burden.
Leng Shuang spoke up at this time, "Don't worry that we will abandon you two. The number of people who survive is related to the final evaluation and rewards. In some dungeons, if too many players die, the strength of the weird will continue to grow."
Therefore,
Unless it is necessary, veteran players will not sit idly by and watch large numbers of casualties occur without taking any action.
Both the career beauty and the high school student felt a little relieved.
The topic returned to this 'reminder'.
"Article 5, Zero, what do you think?"
Asuna asked.
Her bright eyes reflected Lin Ye's face.
"The maid mentioned this grandpa, who left the villa some time ago. German Shepherd John is the grandpa's beloved dog, and the rules mention him again. I think this 'grandpa' must have a great connection with the background of this 'forest villa' and must be an important person."
"Miss Carter doesn't like Grandpa. Obviously there is a conflict between the two. This conflict may be one of the keys for us to decipher and explore this forest villa."
Leng Shuang spoke up at this time, "Our mission is to survive for three days, or to kill Weird, not to decipher the secret."
Lin Ye seemed to have expected someone to say this, "First, deciphering the complete background story can improve your evaluation and get higher rewards."
"Secondly, killing the weird also requires a method. If Miss Leng is confident in her own ability, I can give you a good suggestion."
"What suggestions?"
"Kill all the creatures in the villa, including the German Shepherd."
Leng Shuang was stunned. She had never thought of this. If she couldn't find who the weirdo was, then she should kill them all?
This operation seems to be feasible to a certain extent.
"Brother Lin, haha, I have thought of this too, but we can't do it this way. If the characters in the copy die, the copy will collapse. We don't know what kind of monster will appear. It is very likely that a powerful and unmatched monster will appear. At that time, no one will be able to resist and survive from it."
He smiled and said, "I remember a player actually did that. As a result, in that round of dungeon missions, except for one player who was lucky enough to come back alive, the other eight veteran players all died, torn to pieces by the monster that suddenly increased in strength."
Sure enough, other players have done this before.
Lin Ye took note of this incident.
Asuna continued, "The sixth point is to remind us not to have bad intentions towards Miss Carter, but what if she is weird!"
"Breaking the rules doesn't mean you'll die,"
In other words, even if you violate the rules, you still have a chance to survive.
This was Asuna's first time experiencing a rule-based copy, so her first instinct was to abide by all the rules.
But it seems that the reality is somewhat different from what she imagined.
At last,
met free
