Chapter 285 How could you possibly know the benefits of having a ruthless teammate!
Under the watchful eyes of all the players, each with their own thoughts, the old housekeeper smiled, her aged face deeply lined with wrinkles:
"I hope all our guests will enjoy their dinner tonight."
Players: "..."
They felt it might not work.
Putting everything else aside, the old housekeeper's expression, which screamed "something's bound to happen tonight," was enough to make them feel no pleasure whatsoever.
“Of course, of course,” one player said with a smile. “Your cooking is excellent, and we are very happy with our meal.”
Weird.
"Yes, I haven't had such a sumptuous meal in a long time."
"I also……"
"..."
The players' chaotic chatter filled the air, and the old woman's smile deepened.
She smiled and nodded, "Then everyone, please eat more."
After she finished speaking, the old housekeeper clapped her hands.
Just like last night, countless dark figures emerged from the corners, carrying plates of exquisite dishes to the dining table.
This time, whether the players came down voluntarily or were "semi-forced" down by the shadowy figure to eat, they all picked up their bowls and chopsticks at the same time.
The old housekeeper waiting on the side gave them the feeling that she was determined to make sure they finished all the food.
I don't think so... I could have avoided eating so much last night...
Aside from Yu Shijiu, who genuinely enjoyed the lavish lunch and ate a lot, most of the other players practically swallowed their food as if it were poison.
These dishes are delicious, but just thinking about what might have been added to them makes them feel nauseous and want to vomit.
Especially for players who had previously watched the live stream of the "Chang Sheng Village" game instance.
Their eyes lit up with envy as they ate.
Those who had actually experienced the "Chang Sheng Village" game instance didn't care at all, picking up food with their chopsticks one by one, and chatting and praising it to the old lady steward next to them from time to time.
Without exception, the questions were always the same: "This dish is delicious, can I have it tonight?"
Or it could be, "Wow, the chef who made this dish is amazing! How did he manage to make carrots into roses?!"
Words like "..." kept swirling in their ears, leaving many players speechless.
When will they be able to talk and discuss with NPCs as freely as Yu Shijiu...? Everyone subconsciously ignored the fact that Yu Shijiu himself didn't care about death.
Only those who are not afraid of death can talk freely with NPCs who may turn into monsters at any time, because they don't care whether they will be marked by monsters and die.
After a "simple" lunch, the old housekeeper clapped her hands again and led a group of shadowy figures to begin clearing the table.
The players, finally relieved, stood up. Many of them, who were less able to accept things and had overthinking, blushed and quickly ran to the second floor.
—I feel like throwing up, thinking about things that might be turned into dishes.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Yu Shijiu didn't care about the strange looks he occasionally received from others. He patted his bulging belly and let out a burp.
"It's so delicious, I wish I could stay a few more days."
The other players who hadn't left yet: "..."
They looked at Yu Shijiu like she was crazy for several times, and finally stopped themselves from trying to get close to her.
Although Yu Shijiu seems very strong and shows no mercy in killing monsters... they still find it hard to accept that he has mental problems.
It's unacceptable, at least for now.
Thinking of this, their gazes toward the three people beside Yu Shijiu were now tinged with pity and sympathy.
Of course, Lu Chusheng received the fewest sympathetic glances.
After all, the identity of the captain of the inspection team is still very trustworthy.
He Lingling and Xu Han are different.
The former completely ignored everyone's gaze, and the latter was even more oblivious.
Xu Han had no idea that many people were "sympathizing" with him.
Even if he found out, it wouldn't matter; Xu Han didn't feel he needed to be pitied.
Come on, having a teammate who can kill and fight is just too awesome! He only needs to handle logistics and everything will be fine!
These people are indeed too stupid.
This is what Xu Han thought later when He Lingling reminded him that other players were "sympathetic".
As for this moment—
"Shall we wander around some more?"
Xu Han offered his opinion.
He Lingling directly refused, saying, "No need."
He Lingling: "Now, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you won't find anything useful."
Lu Chusheng did not refute, nor did Yu Shijiu.
"Sister Lingling is right."
Yu Shijiu leaned back in his chair, gazing at the towering oil painting behind the main seat of the dining table. His eyes lingered on the menacing rose bushes in the painting, and his vision gradually darkened.
"The plot hasn't progressed to that point yet, so we won't find anything."
Just like this morning, those players searched the kitchen for so long, but in the end they didn't see anything, did they?
The kitchen is really just a kitchen.
There wasn't a soul in sight.
Yu Shijiu said with a smile, "Apart from the butler, all the servants in this game instance seem to be just humanoid black shadows."
"..."
Lu Chusheng nodded in agreement, "So, the servants are just background figures in this game."
He Lingling remained very calm: "For now, we don't need to focus on whether there are servants in the kitchen or whether there are any other NPCs in the villa that haven't appeared yet."
He Lingling was certain of this when she saw the players who went to the kitchen to look for clues that morning but returned empty-handed.
There's no need to look for it, at least not now.
Xu Han: "..."
Listening to the three men say almost identical things, he had the illusion that only he was mentally challenged.
If He Lingling knew, she would sincerely say that this was not an illusion.
"So, what are we going to do now?"
They couldn't find any clues, and there was no need to investigate those shadowy figures that looked like servants. There were still almost six hours until dinner time... What were they supposed to do now?
"Rest."
Yu Shijiu took a tissue from the table and his gaze lingered for a moment on the table, which had just been cleaned by the old housekeeper and the shadowy figures.
"Take advantage of this time to rest and get some rest."
Yu Shijiu gave an innocent smile: "Who knows if you guys will be able to sleep tonight?"
After all, two people died last night—no, wait, one living person died.
Not counting the young master, he actually came back to life today.
Bad review!
Yu Shijiu silently added two sentences in his mind.
Lu Chusheng also stood up, his voice low and indifferent as he gazed at the elderly housekeeper's figure hidden in the shadows not far away:
"Shi Jiu is right."
