Cheng Ye walked towards the forest.
Like last time, he left a trail into the forest, then looked at the size of the tree canopy and walked in a wetter direction.
Mushrooms are slightly more difficult to pick than sticks.
But fortunately, he had expected such a day when he entered the forest last time.
So when I was picking up firewood, I instantly remembered the approximate location of the mushroom.
It's quite easy to pick now.
Cheng Ye calculated the time and found that he could complete this task in about an hour.
But compared to completing the task, Cheng Ye cared more about the initiating principle of the side task.
These side quests seem to be released whenever the maid does whatever she wants.
I had tried very hard to avoid the maid today, but it still didn't work.
As long as the maid is willing, she cannot refuse the side quest.
Damn the system will also say that it is a negative game.
Cheng Ye's eyes darkened.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong with the game. If it was just a newcomer copy, why were there so many side missions?
These side quests clearly kept interfering with his ability to complete the game.
Although Wei Sheng'an once explained to him that the newcomer's book is a comprehensive book and will try its best to teach newcomers how to download the dungeon.
However, side quests should not be released without affecting the main quest.
Now, the side missions are clearly interfering with his main mission.
Originally, these two hours were very precious for him to obtain key information, but they were abruptly interrupted by a side mission.
Cheng Ye raised his head and looked at his task panel.
【Red Mushroom: 86/100】
The mission is almost over.
He turned his head and looked in the direction he came from.
I don’t know if that beast Wei Sheng’an helped him ask the princesses for some key information.
Dinner was coming soon, and he had to take a princess with him tonight, but he still didn't know anything.
...
The fifth princess has entered Wei Sheng'an's room.
She is the second princess who drew number 5.
Before she came in, she had been anxiously walking back and forth in the hall, looking at the vines outside the window from time to time to determine the time. However, after she came in, her mind went blank and she didn't know what to say.
Wei Sheng'an leaned back lazily on his chair.
His brown eyes were half-lidded, seeming a little tired.
The fingertips have been tapping the table regularly, making a very light but rhythmic "ta... da... da..."
As the fifth princess entered the scene, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
These princesses enter the room at about the same time.
It seems to have been arranged in advance.
And that everyone's time is so even, it means that there is a timing tool in this castle that he doesn't know about.
He also thought of what Cheng Ye said a little bit sarcastically at noon: "I won't be keeping vigil tonight."
It seems that he clearly knows how to check the time but doesn't tell himself.
Wei Sheng'an's expression became lazier again. He sat loosely on the chair and suddenly didn't want to help Cheng Ye.
After all, he didn't tell himself the news.
But then I thought about it, it seemed quite interesting to use this information to go to Cheng Ye to ask for more things.
Wei Shengan was thinking about his own things.
The second princess is thinking about how to please Wei Sheng'an.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
Perhaps feeling the passage of time, the second princess became a little anxious and looked toward the balcony.
There's only one thing left to do in fifteen minutes.
She immediately stood up straight, her whole body tense and looking very nervous.
Wei Sheng'an raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the balcony casually from the corner of his eye.
The four princesses who came in before all had the same habit of looking at the balcony as this princess.
It seems that time is hidden there.
The second princess carefully looked at Wei Sheng'an, and then said timidly: "I, I want to ask you, how can I let the warrior take me away."
The whole thing is strong on the outside and strong on the inside.
Wei Sheng'an evoked a playful smile.
Among the princesses who had just come in, some seemed familiar from the moment they came in, and some knew how to make trouble. Such a brainless one was the first one.
It seems that this princess can give him a big surprise...
...
After Chu Yue finished sending the task, she was stunned for a while and then returned to her room.
Now that she realized something was wrong with her and discovered that the variable was Cheng Ye, after a short period of thinking, she had already made a decision.
When the warrior returns to the castle later, she will arrange more work for him.
...
【Red Mushroom: 100/100】
[Ding, congratulations to the warrior for picking enough red mushrooms. Go back to the castle and meet the maid Rose. She will definitely be very surprised and give you a big gift. 】
The system prompt finally sounded in Cheng Ye's ears.
He stared at the line of white words floating out in front of Mingming and sneered.
Bah, what a gift.
Awards ceremony? Or a random rose picked in the front yard?
What a gift this is.
Cheng Ye followed the traces left in the direction of the castle and left the forest with a cold face.
Wei Sheng'an was already asking the last sentence at this moment.
"How many more princesses came in after you?"
The second princess didn't understand why the other party asked this. She was the second princess. Aren't there only seven princesses in the castle?
Naturally, five more princesses came in...
No, something's not quite right...
Why can’t I remember how many princesses there are?
Wei Sheng'an looked at the confused expression of the second princess, with a bright smile on her face.
He said with a bright smile: "It's time for you to leave."
The second princess still wanted to struggle, but after looking at the vines, she obediently left the room.
Wei Sheng'an followed the second princess's gaze and looked over.
That's indeed the case.
…
Chu Yue sat in a daze on the shabby little bed.
She rested her chin on her hands, and the things she could remember ran through her mind one by one.
Her eyes gradually became warmer. Maybe after tonight, she would regain all her memories.
After a while, she glanced at the vines outside the window.
The time is almost up.
Haven't the Warriors come back yet?
Chu Yue stood up and walked out of the hut.
Walking towards the gate of the castle, as soon as he reached the door, he saw the figure of Cheng Ye holding a pile of mushrooms in the distance.
As the sun set, the golden light enveloped Cheng Ye softly.
His dark hair was dyed with a light golden edge.
He seemed to come through the darkness, like a destined prince.
Chu Yue's eyes gradually brightened.
She felt that she had waited for someone like this countless times.
And the outline of that person was exactly the same as Cheng Ye.
It is also so straight and straight.
He also came from the darkness, hugged himself into his arms, his big hands seemed to have a calming magic, stroking his hair, comforting himself silently.
Maybe he is the one he is destined to be?
Chu Yue raised her head, revealing her flawless white neck, like a little white rabbit waiting for her master to come home.
The eyes slowly became covered with a layer of red.
Is it the grievance hidden deep in my heart?
...
Cheng Ye got closer and closer. He was thinking about something in his mind and didn't look away.
When he was almost reaching the castle, he realized that the maid was standing straight at the door waiting for him.
Cheng Ye looked up at the sky and then at the maid.
Is he late?
It shouldn't be.
Cheng Ye kept muttering in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
He approached the castle with an expressionless expression.
Thinking silently in my heart:
"We were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. The people have faith and the country has strength."
Chu Yue stared at Cheng Ye with complicated eyes until he walked in, holding the iron door with her little hand and seeming to open it.
Just like last time, motionless.
Cheng Ye opened the door indifferently: "Thank you."
"This is dinner for the princesses."
He refused to say a word.
Chu Yue: "..." Am I the plague?
Chu Yue took the red mushroom, and the feelings that had just filled her heart disappeared.
She smiled and said: "Brave warrior, my room is leaking. Warrior, can you help me repair the window?"
Cheng Ye, who was about to go find Wei Sheng'an, opened his eyes wide.
Is this coming?
...
[Ding Dong: Congratulations to the player "Cheng Ye" for completing the side mission: Red Mushroom (100/100)]
[Ding Dong: Congratulations to the player "Cheng Ye" for receiving the side mission reward: understanding of the copy. 】
Cheng Ye: .......
Cheng Ye had nothing to say, and he stared at Chu Yue with a fierce look.
Is the game perfunctory to a certain extent?
He seemed to have given up resistance and stood there quietly waiting for the system's prompts.
really.
Three seconds later, the familiar system prompt sounded again.
[Ding dong, the system releases a side mission. 】
[Today’s task: The maid looked a little pitiful today. It turned out that the glass of her bedroom window was broken and the cool breeze blew in all night.
Woohoo, such a weak maid... the brave warrior must be very distressed.
Go and help the maid fix the window.
Windows (0/1)]
Cheng Ye smiled, turned sideways and passed Chu Yue, and walked towards the castle.
After taking three steps, he stopped again and asked coldly: "Where is your bedroom?"
...
in the next time.
Cheng Ye was assigned to repair eaves, tables and chairs, clean toilets, wash dishes and clothes...
He is like the butler in this castle, busy handling everything.
Cheng Ye felt that this was not a new book, but a manual of human survival skills.
And Wei Sheng'an has already sent away the last princess.
Through the different words of different princesses, he almost understood everything, and he probably guessed a possibility.
This possibility made him couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he thought about it.
He walked slowly to the balcony and looked into the garden.
Hey, who is that man bending over after all the hard work?
It turned out that he felt sorry for Cheng Ye.
Wei Sheng'an smiled brightly and looked at Cheng Ye's busy schedule, feeling very happy.
At this moment, Cheng Ye was pruning the flowers in the garden.
He cursed the maid under his breath.
Next time I would rather go to a more difficult dungeon instead of this newbie dungeon.
The task is really simple and not difficult at all.
but--
It takes too much energy.
The thorn of the rose accidentally cut Cheng Ye's finger, and the faint smell of blood hit his nose.
It's very, very light, and there's a hint of sweetness in the bloody smell.
This sweetness makes people feel false warmth, just like the paintings hanging in the stairwell.
Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes. After a while, he returned to normal and continued to handle the roses.
The damn maid said she couldn't sleep without the scent of roses, so she arranged for him to cut some roses and put them in her room.
If he remembers correctly, he can be considered a prince in this copy...
Cheng Ye sighed and continued to prune the roses.
The image of what Chu Yue had just said appeared in his mind.
She tilted her head and said rationally: "It must be the biggest and best rose in the garden. There are 11 roses in total. Pick them and put them in the pen holder beside my bed."
"I am so grateful to the great warriors."
Cheng Ye squeezed the rose tightly.
Bah, bitch woman.
After a while, Cheng Ye finished pruning the roses. He casually held the bouquet and returned to Chu Yue's room.
This time, he was in no hurry to leave.
He finally discovered that Chu Yue deliberately didn't want him to have free time.
As long as he submits the task, there will be a new task waiting for him immediately.
He was not given any time to talk to other princesses.
So this time, he decided to wait in the room until dinner started.
Anyway, there is not much time left.
Cheng Ye stuffed the flowers into the pen holder in front of the bed and opened the window.
Everything in the backyard is revealed.
The feeling of looking at the backyard from the second floor is completely different from that from the first floor. The first floor will feel more intimate.
Cheng Ye took a deep breath of fresh air and turned around as he watched the last light of the setting sun disappear.
At this time, he saw scratches on the wall.
...These scratches look a little strange.
Why is it so straight at the beginning and so crooked at the back?
Is this maid really mentally ill?
For example, if you have bipolar disorder, you can control your emotions at first, but then you start swiping randomly when you get irritable?
Cheng Ye smiled and disagreed.
His nose gradually began to smell the aroma of mushrooms.
I have to say that although this maid likes to make things difficult for him, her cooking (except for the soothing soup) is quite good.
Suddenly, the traces on the wall were no longer visible.
The setting sun has been completely swallowed up by darkness.
The night does not come slowly, but suddenly.
…
Cheng Ye raised his head and glanced at the vines. It was still one minute before 6pm.
Dinner, the devil will come, right?
Cheng Ye adjusted his clothes and walked out of Chu Yue's bedroom.
The other princesses had arrived long ago, and all of them focused their eyes on him.
Follow his figure all the way to the seat.
The first thing Cheng Ye did when he sat down was: "Did you ask?"
Wei Sheng'an seemed not to have heard.
Cheng Ye: "I will do the upgrade task well."
Wei Sheng'an laughed secretly.
Quite threatening.
This sentence is saying that if this copy does not help him, he will never complete the upgrade task...
"They only see demons when they sleep."
"The devil randomly chooses a princess to sleep with every night."
"Tonight the three princesses' room is in the fifth room. They will know the changes in their rooms every afternoon."
…
Wei Sheng'an only provided three pieces of information, and none of the others he inquired about wanted to tell Cheng Ye.
After all, if you say so, this copy will end immediately.
Then it wouldn't be fun.
Cheng Ye was thoughtful after listening.
The third princess is the most beloved by the devil, and he will choose the third princess no matter what tonight.
Although this answer is most likely wrong.
But this is to kill two birds with one stone.
Just as Cheng Ye was thinking, Chu Yue came out with a tray.
The rich aroma of mushrooms filled the room.
Chu Yue's eyes did not leave Cheng Ye, and Cheng Ye raised his head feeling that he was being targeted.
The two looked at each other, and Cheng Ye immediately lowered his eyes.
Hurry up and hide after eating. This maid is the real devil.
