Chapter 22: Grade A Elixir
“Why aren’t you guests sleeping at night? What are you doing here?”
The front desk staff’s figure slowly emerged from the dining room, holding a dim lantern in his hand.
The outside lights were already quite dim, but the arrival of that lantern not only didn’t make the space look any brighter, but actually seemed to make it even more gloomy.
Wang Xuming calmly sized up the front desk staff. The skin on the front desk staff’s face had no difference from human texture at this moment.
To be honest, this was of course abnormal.
There was a side quest on this front desk staff. However, this side quest wasn’t very related to the main quest. As long as it wasn’t triggered, this front desk staff was basically safe.
Of course, the premise was being able to find the correct rules. If the death rules were violated, the front desk staff would naturally kill people.
And in fact, Wang Xuming had only just learned that this front desk staff could also have a significant role, such as being able to take people outside.
Because no one spoke, the front desk staff’s face looked even more eerie.
He possessed a very outstanding face. Even when he looked like a plaster statue before, it was evident that his features were like perfect works of art.
But apart from his pitch-black eyes, it was difficult for players to remember his appearance.
“Why are you all silent? Did you do something bad?”
Wang Xuming smiled.
“It’s nothing. I just couldn’t sleep at night and was walking around. Why is Mr. Front Desk here?”
“Oh, I saw someone sneaking into the kitchen to eat. I remembered that a guest complained about the food being unclean this afternoon, so I dealt with it, and by the way…”
He turned sideways and casually flipped the light switch on the wall.
Bright light instantly illuminated the entire front hall and dining room of the guest-house.
Wang Xuming saw the scene inside the dining room at a glance.
There was blood on the ground.
A tall figure lay there, it was Brother Cai.
His chest looked like it had been torn open alive, and his heart was crushed.
His eyes were wide open, but the expression on his face was somewhat abnormal, an indescribable madness, satiety, and astonishment.
And his skin had a grayish-white color, quite similar to the front desk staff’s previous state.
Besides him, there was another figure lying on the other side, it was Bai Cha.
She lay weakly on the ground, looking like she was about to faint, her breathing very weak, but she was clearly not dead.
There were no injuries on her body, but that lingering, terrifying aura of an evil god clearly emanated from her.
A flyer had also fallen beside her.
Wang Xuming thought of a possibility and sucked in a cold breath.
So Bai Cha summoned the evil god?
Was she crazy?
No, then how did she survive?
Wang Xuming looked at the front desk staff.
He saw the front desk staff say, “By the way, I found that this guest seems to be very ill and was planning to ask you to take her back to her room to rest.”
The ponytail girl and the man with glasses had already walked over. The man with glasses pushed up his glasses and exchanged a look with the ponytail.
This Bai Cha indeed had some tricks up her sleeve. Brother Cai died, but she didn’t.
“Thank you,” Wang Xuming said, passing by the front desk and heading to the scene in the dining room.
“Are you alright?” Wang Xuming didn’t even look at Brother Cai, squatting down beside Bai Cha.
Bai Cha’s eyeballs moved. Her pupils were already somewhat dilated.
The front desk staff had finally made a move.
Just as she thought, the front desk staff needed power from that unknown Buddha statue to unlock some shackles.
But there were two Buddha statues.
The devotees were probably different.
So there were two possibilities. Maybe she had just stumbled upon it, just like the flyer in the front desk’s notebook corresponded to the tarjani mudra Buddha statue.
And the flyer she got outside was also like that.
Another possibility was that the front desk staff needed their power but wasn’t necessarily their devotees.
Perhaps there was a third party involved, but all of this was too complicated, and Bai Cha didn’t have the strength to think about it anymore.
Even though that terrifying aura was being drawn away, the remaining power was still accelerating the erosion of her body.
Wang Xuming picked up the flyer beside her and looked at it. He took a deep look at Bai Cha, took out a white porcelain bottle, and fed Bai Cha a red pill from inside.
Bai Cha immediately felt much better. That terrifying chaotic energy was being dissolved, and her body received a trace of comfort.
“Don’t worry, after you leave the game, all your conditions will return to what they were before you entered the game,” Wang Xuming said in a low voice.
Bai Cha’s eyes flickered, and she looked at him.
Wang Xuming made a shushing gesture.
“Shall I help you back to your room?”
Bai Cha closed her eyes. That pill was indeed very effective, but unfortunately, she still couldn’t move.
Of course, she also didn’t know that in her live stream at this moment, the comments were full of question marks.
[This newbie’s luck is too good, right? Someone is actually willing to take out a Grade A Purification Pill!! I don’t understand!]
[Isn’t this person only A6? This thing is so rare, only a very few instance leaders might be able to farm it, and it’s even more expensive in the shops!]
[It can’t be because she’s good-looking, right? They seem to have figured out she’s a newbie too?]
[Speechless, what good luck! This newbie encountered a saintly player first thing after entering, and now she’s met a second one! What kind of good luck is this!]
[And that front desk staff actually said he’d help. What kind of Mary Sue skill does this newbie have?]
[But… she performed quite well just now, right? She was actually bold enough to ask an evil god for help]
[What kind of good performance is that? It’s just a newbie being fearless, a blind cat catching a dead mouse. What else could it be but good luck?]
Bai Cha didn’t know that because of this pill, the popularity of her live stream suddenly increased.
