His words immediately sparked whispers among the other teammates of Xie Tengfei.
"Yeah... who gets so stressed that they choke someone..."
"And from the look on Old Xie's face, it really seems like he wants to strangle someone!"
"We're all in this team, yet the Main Quest got snatched by someone else. What's the point of our team?"
...
Hui Shou Tao noticed that others were disparaging Xie Tengfei on his behalf, and he was not pleased.
"How can you say that about Old Xie! Without him helping us in this Game, we would have been dead long ago! You’re really ungrateful!"
He rubbed his neck, trying hard to defend Xie Tengfei.
Those who repeatedly complain about their partners or criticize their bosses are not worth helping.
"I'm fine! I really am!" Hui Shou Tao said to everyone.
Lu Ming put an arm around Hui Shou Tao's shoulders, speaking affectionately like a good buddy, "Exactly! The person involved says he's fine, so you shouldn't blame Old Xie anymore! What’s most important now is to complete the Main Quest and finish the side quests! Didn't Hui Shou Tao accidentally trigger a Side Quest? We all need to work together to help him complete it!"
Originally, Wu Yong had been loyal to Xie Tengfei.
Now that Wu Yong had been captured by the Recycling Ghost, Hui Shou Tao had stepped in.
Lu Ming wondered to himself, "Why does Xie Tengfei always have these kinds of people around him?"
He did not know Xie Tengfei's profession.
Naturally, he was unaware of Xie Tengfei's professional skills.
The S-Class Profession of Wealthy, in addition to its inherent active skills, also came with a passive skill.
—Attract.
His Wealthy profession allowed him to Attract individuals with weak personalities, turning them into his lackeys.
Just like in reality, where wealthy individuals are often accompanied by several lackeys.
Thanks to Hui Shou Tao's words, the crowd's anger was quelled.
Meanwhile, Xie Tengfei's gaze was fixed on Jin Zhuo.
In his team, there was no room for anyone who defied him!
Moreover, Jin Zhuo's profession was merely Guide; a Guide was not significant in the Game!
After calming the crowd's fury, Xie Tengfei called Lu Ming to his side.
"I lost something very important."
Xie Tengfei's eyes were locked onto Hui Shou Tao.
“Do you suspect that Old Xie took it?”
“Only he possesses that skill.”
“What is it that makes Old Xie so concerned? Is it a mission item?”
Xie Tengfei slightly raised his head. “That’s none of your business. Just keep an eye on him for me. If he makes any moves, remember to tell me!”
In Lu Ming's eyes, a flicker of curiosity and intrigue passed by.
…
Lin Xun took a moment to calm himself.
Even if he obtained the Demon-Bane Staff, the mission still needed to be completed.
He took out four letters and opened them one by one.
Inside were four lines of love poetry.
“I found that I liked you very much yesterday, I like you today as well, and I have a feeling I will like you tomorrow too.”
“Your dimples have no wine, yet I’m drunk like a dog.”
“Do you know what I love the most? You’ll know the answer by looking at the first word of this sentence.”
I know you must be busy, so just focus on the first three words.
"Ugh, thank you, I got oil on me."
"Who writes love letters seriously?"
"Yeah."
"Do you write love letters?"
"I don't."
"Do you write love letters?"
"Who can put their true feelings into a love letter?"
"What you write can't be called true feelings."
"How vulgar!"
Although there was no signature, the strokes were wild and unrestrained.
This strange handwriting, where had Lin Xun seen it before?
"That person from Xue again!" he murmured to himself.
"How do you say it?"
"We've been to the room of the Three Golden Flowers, and there are traces of this person named Xue! This person must be very important!"
"But we haven't encountered this NPC named Xue yet."
[Attention! A Noble Guest is about to arrive at the First Floor Hall. Please welcome them!]
Hearing the prompt from the System, the players immediately gathered on the first floor.
At this moment, players were congregated together, and even Lian Zhanlang had appeared.
Except for Xu Jingyu, all the surviving players were waiting on the first floor for the Game's announcement.
In the Game, there was no distinction between night and day.
It was always dark within the Game.
Only scattered candlelight and faint moonlight dispelled a bit of the Endless Darkness.
The hall at this moment was no different.
A flickering Bright Lamp struggled against the boundless darkness.
The candlelight was placed beside Xie Ruyi's head, its flickering glow illuminating her face with a vivid hue.
She seemed both dead and alive.
At that moment, the door of the brothel swung open, and a powerful gust of cold wind rushed in.
The chilling wind swept through, penetrating to the bone.
Hua Tian clutched Lin Xun's arm tightly.
He could even hear the sound of Hua Tian's teeth chattering.
"My SAN Value has been dropping..."
Hua Tian's voice was tinged with a sob.
Once the SAN Value fell to a certain level, players in the game had a chance of turning into Gui Wu!
Lin Xun did not want his opponents to increase!
He pointed at the tall, thin figure outside the door and shouted, "Do you have any sense of public morality? It's freezing out there, and you just stand there without coming in? What are you trying to prove? Can't you see everyone is freezing?"
What the hell is public morality?
Honestly, without rules, players would have died a hundred thousand times already!
A shadow outside the door staggered slightly before a man in a blue robe slowly walked in.
The man was tall and slender, with an elegant demeanor. He wore green boots and held a brown Oil Paper Umbrella.
The umbrella conveniently obscured his face.
**Name: Xue Qing**
**Note: Philanthropist. A man's words are deceiving!**
"Xue Qing? Is he really the Sea King?"
Everyone was very curious about what this beautiful man, who could captivate the Four Flowers, actually looked like.
In the Game, what kind of face would he be assigned?
His body appeared normal, but it was his features that were likely to be unusual.
Would they be rotten, skeletal, mutated, or perhaps the form that Lin Xun disliked the most—an appearance that triggered fear of tight spaces?
"The fleeting years do not linger for youth. The hatred is endless. When will it cease? When the flying catkins and falling flowers arrive, I ascend the tower. Then spring rivers become tears, flowing endlessly, filled with sorrow."
Xue Qing recited the verses as a cold wind lifted the hem of his garments behind him.
There was a hint of ethereal grace in his demeanor.
As the song came to an end, Xue Qing gradually lowered the Oil Paper Umbrella...
Behind the Oil Paper Umbrella was a face that surprised everyone.
This face was not terrifying.
There were no gaping wounds, no grotesquely twisted features, and no decaying flesh.
What it had were threads.
His eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were tightly sewn shut with red threads.
Yet even with his mouth brutally stitched closed, he could still utter beautiful words.
A shock ran through the crowd.
Hua Tian's SAN Value dropped a little more.
Lin Xun looked at him.
This outfit was somewhat creative, wasn't it...?
"Now that I've finished speaking, can you close the door?"
Lin Xun opened his mouth to inquire.
The ghost paused in the act of lowering the Oil Paper Umbrella.
What was going on?
Logically, when players saw him, they should feel a sense of fear!
In this Closed Space, with the flickering red candles and the drifting Yin Qi, the Man With Stitched Eyes, Mouth, Ears, and Nose appeared before him, yet this person showed no signs of panic at all?
Was he ignorant or fearless? How could he be so disrespectful!
"I've already shown you enough courtesy. Normally, you should close the door as soon as you enter! Are you scholars really this lacking in manners?"
Xue Qing gritted his teeth!
He clenched his jaw and turned to shut the door behind him.
If it weren't for the constraints of the rules, he would have torn Lin Xun to pieces long ago!
Instantly, the cold wind in the room vanished, and the chill dissipated.
As a result of Lin Xun's actions, the gradually declining SAN Value among the others began to stabilize.
