Cheng Miao nodded to Tan Wen. Old players have their own routines. Some like group cooperation, and some like to act on their own.
But no matter what, as long as Cheng Miao never encounters a black sheep like Zhao Liang again, he will be satisfied.
There are quite a few new players in this dungeon, and there are five of them who seem to have never experienced a few dungeons. Like attracts like, and they are comforted by hugging together.
They want the care of old players, but they are afraid that old players will test themselves.
Cheng Miao knew from Qin Musong that anyone who is still a Tongpu player is considered a newcomer. If you are unlucky, you will indeed encounter an old player who specializes in trying new players.
There was a woman who attracted Cheng Miao's attention. She was a very charming woman. Objectively speaking, she was very beautiful, even more beautiful than Cheng Miao.
The vague temptation in her body made her get more attention than Cheng Miao.
But this woman was even less talkative than Cheng Miao. She only introduced herself as Lian Ge.
A woman full of temptation, a name like a stage name, it makes people think a lot.
Several little girls in the crowd looked at Lian Ge with strange eyes and moved slightly away, as if she had done something shameful.
Lian Ge wears a white cheongsam with lotus and silver patterns, and a pair of white mid-heeled cloth shoes. Her whole persona is enchanting and a bit holy, making people unable to take their eyes away.
The remaining old players are a capable short-haired woman named Ye Zi, a young man named Su Shuang who speaks in an effeminate manner, and a mustachioed man named Yan Qi.
When everyone was hugging each other, the sound sounded.
"Ding~ Players are welcome to enter the dungeon [Does this lantern look good]? Players are asked to try their best to leave Zhangjiacun."
“Hint: good and evil depend on each other.”
When the prompt sounded, an older man with a stooped figure appeared in front of several people. A fat girl among the newcomers was frightened by the sudden appearance and screamed.
The man turned to look at her and said nothing, but the girl covered her mouth and cried after the man looked away.
The newcomers who originally held her hand immediately stayed away from her. They offended the NPC before starting the mission. Who knows when bad luck will come.
The man coughed for a while, looking a bit sad in the forest like a broken bellows.
"Well, I am the village chief of Zhangjia Village. Thank you very much for coming to our village to provide social help. Our village is rich in lanterns. I hope everyone can experience the joy of making lanterns in Zhangjia Village these days."
As the village chief spoke, he turned around and crossed the stream. "The village is a bit far away, so everyone should walk faster. It gets dark early in the mountains."
Everyone hurriedly followed the village chief. No one dared to follow too closely for fear of falling behind.
Instead, the veteran players came up behind the village chief one by one in time, throwing the newcomers to the back of the team.
The girl with twin tails who was originally hooking up with the fat girl let go of her original companion and ran two steps to Lin Zhu, who seemed to be the most approachable among the old players, "Little brother, can I come with you? "
The twin ponytails are not pretty, but coupled with the pitiful expression, they have a soft-hearted aura.
It's a pity that Lin Zhu doesn't understand the style.
"We are all on the same team, we can't talk about whether we are together or not."
After saying that, Lin Zhu stretched out his hand to hold Qi Jiajia. There was moss on the ground. Qi Jiajia's small leather shoes were nice but not slippery. He was afraid that she would fall.
The twin-tailed man muttered a few times and then returned to the newcomer team. He was ridiculed by a thin boy in the same team. He immediately became angry, but he was worried that the NPC would hear it, so he could only swallow his anger.
Cheng Miao and the other old players didn't care about the newcomers' little thoughts and tried their best to set up information.
The summary so far is just a few points. They are community volunteers who come to help in backward villages.
Zhangjiacun's lanterns are well-made and are famous in nearby villages.
There will be an ancestor worship activity in Zhangjia Village tomorrow, which will last for three days. You cannot enter or leave the village after the ancestor worship begins, otherwise it will be unlucky.
All in all, their mission goal is to escape from Zhangjiacun, but as long as they enter today, they will not be able to come out.
As for what is in Zhangjia Village, they will have to wait until they arrive to find out.
The mountain road was difficult to walk, so Qi Jiajia rode directly on Qin Musong's neck at the back. Su Shuang, who was also almost unable to walk, felt jealous.
"I hate mountain roads the most. It will scratch my feet and leave marks on the blisters. It's so ugly." Su Shuang muttered as he broke off a small twig and hit it on the surrounding grass.
"Are you... gay?" Qi Jiajia leaned on Qin Musong's head and looked at Su Shuang curiously.
She has met many people in her life, but they are all the same, elegant gentlemen, like perfect ornaments without emotions or sorrows.
So she was curious and interesting about all kinds of strange people in the Survival Hotel.
"Jiajia, you can't ask like that, it's rude!" Cheng Miao was in front of the village chief asking for clues. It stands to reason that no one here can cure Qi Jiajia.
But Lin Zhu didn't think so. He felt he had to point it out if he made a mistake. He corrected Qi Jiajia seriously, and then looked at Su Shuang's face in a panic.
Su Shuang waved her white and slender hands and looked at Lin Zhu with a smile, "It's okay, little brother,"
Su Shuang turned to look at Qi Jiajia, whose face was darkened by Lin Zhu's words but who didn't say anything back. "I'm not. Although everyone thinks I might be, I am straight. I can't be straighter."
Qi Jiajia didn't ask any more questions, but her big cat eyes were full of curiosity.
Su Shuang also seemed to like this girl very much. He used the torn straw to weave a small bracelet for Qi Jiajia.
Liang Ge followed the others in silence. Logically speaking, her cloth shoes had heels and were not suitable for walking on mountainous roads. However, this woman was not out of breath at all and followed the team forward easily.
After walking for about an hour, we finally arrived at Zhangjiacun. This is indeed a very remote village, and it is unimaginable for people living in modern cities.
With twin ponytails and bangs hugging each other, they all came from the city. They had never seen a village like this, and their expressions of surprise and disgust were clearly revealed.
The fat girl hadn't spoken much since she was frightened by the scream. She looked up at the village, with a familiar look in her eyes, but more of a look of fear.
Zhangjiacun itself is in a mountain col, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the village entrance can go out.
This place is very backward. The houses are still made of bricks and mud, but they are very orderly. It can be seen that the village regulations are very strict.
From a distance, it looks like rows of identical houses lined up in an orderly manner. People coming and going in the village are all wearing coarse clothes, looking simple and kind-hearted.
The villagers were busy at the door of their houses on ladders. Every household hung up large, round lanterns. Even without lighting a fire, you could see how exquisite the lanterns were, and they were not on the same level as those sold outside.
It is the custom of Zhangjia Village to hang up lanterns when worshiping ancestors. The village chief told them about it on the way here.
"Brother, the way they look at us is so strange..." Tan Wu's trembling voice sounded behind Cheng Miao.
