Chapter 217: Rose Factory
Liu Jiayi A group of people guarded the closed door.
She frowned as she watched the color of the raw rose liquid flowing from the doorway grow darker and darker, finally turning almost as luscious as blood.
Liu Jiayi wrinkled her nose, hidden beneath the light rose scent of the original liquid, she detected a very unpleasant smell of blood and mushrooms - it reminded her of her last copy.
...... last copy - In a flash of lightning, Liu Jiayi remembered the Blood Lingzhi, the monster book reward for The Loving Welfare House.
She didn't manage to hit the orphanage's monster book bonus herself, so there's no Blood Lingzhi.
Liu Jiayi hadn't even thought in the direction of the Blood Ganoderma before, because it was too outrageous--but the moment she smelled the flavor now, Liu Jiayi understood what Bai Liu was talking about in terms of the antidote.
-It's a blood reishi.
Plus Bai Liu inexplicably asked her those words about Heart A skill cards ...... ghost can not think what he wants to do!
Liu Jiayi took a deep breath, feeling the rare headache of having a member of her warband who liked to fool around, she swatted away the stragglers who stood in front of her, sprayed herself with enough spirit-reducing rose perfume, and removed her visualization props to head for the door.
--The most powerful point of that god-ranked NPC's alienation attack is her eyes, so if you can't see them, you should be able to reduce the speed at which she is alienated.
But the moment Liu Jiayi took a step, countless thorns and vines spilled out lovingly through the doorway.
These vines were like creepers under the speed camera, climbing and spreading rapidly along the narrow corridor of the Rose Factory, and in the blink of an eye, the tunnel leading to the outside was turned into a dense primitive jungle, with spreading and curling branches and leaves as far as the eye could see.
The thick spikes growing densely on these vines are like the teeth of a vampire that is still feeding after being plucked, sucking up the blood-colored liquid flowing on the ground in no time, and then growing rapidly.
Dark red fluorescent dots gathered around the spikes that pulsed like hearts, bulging as if they were about to explode the next second.
"What's the situation?" Tang Er hit the alert, pulling out his gun and aiming it at the rapidly expanding spikes, "This isn't a Dry Leaf Rose plant, what did Bai Liu do?"
Liu Jiayi bowed her head and put on the visualization prop as she looked up at the closed door, "He did what he always wanted to do."
Tang Er struck a chord.
The huge, tightly closed door was pushed open by a surge of vines, and Tang Er spun around to look in.
In the center of the room, Tang Er struck the core of these growing and spreading vines, which caused his breath to stutter slightly for a moment.
In the transparent display case filled with blood, two people lying in blood and water lean on each other.
One against the other's heart, the canes with their spikes piercing through their bodies in a steady stream, and it was as if they felt no pain at all, immersed in warm blood embracing together, serene, still, as if the moment felt like an eternity of sleep.
Floating on the bloody water was the reddish Heart Ace playing card.
The spikes burst brilliantly, and dark red points of light levitated and floated away from under the fungus umbrella, through the dark and deep corridors, and wandered along the ends of the vines to where the May daylight reached-where the sixteen thousand acres of flower fields where old friends had been buried.
Missing the nutritional roots of the rose inwardly rolled trousseau, filled to the sky of the illusion of light pink with the departure of the gods and withered, is cut up and deeply hidden sixteen thousand thoughts, in the blazing sun wrapped in the summer will soon come to a brief moment of the world, but also with the petals fall into the dust of the dissipation of the disappearance of the petals.
The winds trample the delicate stamens of early summer's favor, the period of summer's lease is too short, and the sun burns like an eye left behind by the gods (note).
The sixteen thousand acres of roses that turned the world upside down have faded, but your long summer will never fade.
--That was a summer that even the gods had praised for its beauty.
---------- ----
In the game lobby, a small TV area vacated by Titan's casting of the skill flickered twice and suddenly reappeared.
Mu Sicheng and Mu Ke, who had been sitting next to each other waiting, stood up violently, and Mu Sicheng ascertained the time - it was still far from a dimensional clock, but the people from this King's Guild had actually come out already ......
The foreboding feeling in his and Mu Ke's hearts grew heavier and heavier.
Titan stepped out of the small TV area with a ground-shaking stride, his beefy arms held flat and a lazy, lip-covered, yawning Heart sitting on his shoulder.
Seemingly catching sight of Mu Ke and Mu Sicheng, who were blocking the front of her path of departure, Heart pulled back her eyes, her eyes swung between the two for a moment, and suddenly rested her cheeks in a light laugh:
"Hating and glaring at me here won't do any good." Her brow smiled and her eyes were soft, "Now go rummage around in no man's land and you might even find your boss."
"Of course if you can't find it, and Bai Liu doesn't make it out of the game alive, and you don't have a ground Fang Ke to go to--" Heart lazily extends his hand to Mu Ke, his smile deepening, " --The doors of the King's Guild will always be open for you potential players."
Mu Ke pulled back Mu Sicheng, who wanted to rush up and punch someone in a fit of anger, and took two deep breaths to control his emotions.
His face was all white the moment he heard the words Bai Liu couldn't come out of the game alive, no blood at all, like a porcelain doll about to break.
Knowing that Heart's statement was probably a fishing expedition, Mu Ke couldn't help but bite the hook when the little TV fell into no man's land with no way of learning anything about Bai Liu.
But the complete absence of Bai Liu has caused Mu Ke's mind to work at a surprisingly high speed.
Can't panic, panic will be all over, will make him behind these only remaining can help Bai Liu power are lost.
Mu Ke pulled Mu Sicheng, whose eyes were red with impatience and who was cursing at Heart, by the back of the neck, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and turned to look at the terrified Guild members behind him, his face once again an impeccable mask of a smile:
"Gentlemen, we have just achieved a stage victory."
The originally anxious team members and Mu Sicheng all looked at Mu Ke with a [Have you gone crazy?! eyes at Mu Ke, who was smiling in an unbelievably dignified manner.
Mu Ke organized himself well and continued on without a hitch:
"Is Bai Liu the most important person in our guild? No, the most important people in this guild are you, Bai Liu is just an agent, dispensable, anyone can be this agent, this person who serves everyone - and you are the main body of this guild, you are the most important."
Mu Ke recounted calmly, "And you guys have just - by Bai Liu, an unimportant being, proved your power, and together you were able to shake up even the King's Guild, forcing them to send one of the strongest members of their team to stop you - isn't that a victory? -Isn't that a victory?"
"This could well be called a big win!"
The guild members looked at each other anxiously, they felt that there was something wrong with Mu Ke's logic, but they couldn't find a point to refute it, instead they couldn't help but be inspired and carried along by the logic of his words.
"Now all we have to do is, never give up, and then ride out the victory." Mu Ke smiled with immense decency and sincerity, "We've already won half of it, all we need to do next is to find Bai Liu in no man's land and we've won!"
Obviously, finding someone in [No Man's Land] is an impossible task, but when Mu Ke throws it out there so lightly, it seems like it's just something that can be done with a little more time and effort.
Mu Sicheng leaned in close to Mu Ke's ear and warned with words popping out from between his teeth, "I don't know how many small, scrapped TVs there are in no man's land, and all these people together won't even be able to find them in ten years."
"Then look for twenty years - they won't run easily with the upfront cost sunk in." Mu Ke replied back in a low voice with a smile that didn't move in the eight winds, he slightly squinted and swept his eyes at Mu Sicheng, his gaze burning, "If they die in the game I'm going to go and recruit new members, make sure you find Bai Liu, I won't give up."
Mu Ke raised his jaw slightly, his expression somehow arrogant, "You can leave if you want to, I'm going to be more useful to Bai Liu than you."
Mu Sicheng was stunned.
Mu Ke ignored him and turned back to the members, turning up the volume, "Now we're heading for no man's land!"
Heart, who was sitting on Titan's shoulder, raised an eyebrow slightly at the sight - this one, Mu Ke, was a good talker.
She cocked the heels on her feet, and the team members below looked up at her as if they had a heart to heart, "Empress, are there any orders?"
Heart's gaze fell on Mu Ke's back, "Tell Wang Shun to check out this newcomer named Mu Ke."
Before she could say anything, someone came clapping.
"Pah-pah-pah-!" Charles applauded and laughed, sidestepping Wang Shun who was following him, "Wang Shun, I've found someone better than you to promote the Bai Liu Warriors."
Fully dressed Wang Shun scalp numbly lowered his head, two hands on both sides of the trouser leg, completely not dare to look at the condescending scrutinizing Heart, voice as thin as mosquitoes, "...... Emperor, Empress."
Charles jumped up and stretched out one heel against the ground, removed his high bowler hat and turned it over in his hand twice fluently against his heart, curtsied and raised his hand in a somewhat streetwise salute to Heart, "Good afternoon, my beautiful queen."
All of the smirk on Heart's face subsided as she swept her downcast eyes back and forth between Wang Shun and Charles a few times and spoke without much emotion, "Charles, I thought it was an agreement between the guilds not to touch each other's message members."
"That's certainly true for the big guilds." Charles flipped his hat twice and settled it firmly on his head again as he straightened up to look at Heart, who was sitting on Titan's shoulder, and smiled, "But for a newcomer guild, there should be a certain amount of special leniency, no?"
"If by newcomer guild you mean the Eclipse Guild." Heart opens her hands and presses them against the hem of her skirt that spreads out to the side of her waist, leaning towards Titan with misty eyes, "Charles, I regret to have to inform you that about three dimensional minutes ago, the president of this guild - Bai Liu - fell into no man's land. "
"That's unfortunate news, oh poor Bai Liu." Charles folded his hands tightly over his heart and seemed extremely pensive, but the pensive expression lasted less than a second on his face before it turned back into an unreadable grin, "Maybe it's not such a bad outcome after all. "
Heart finally realized what Charles was about to do and she sat up straight, frowning as she intoned a warning, "Charles, the season of support has only just begun, you have a ton of better options, there's no need to spend it on a newcomer."
"But I fell in love with him at first sight, and I'll never look at another player again." Charles braced himself on his civilized staff and covered his forehead in a mesmerized gesture.
Charles collapsed his shoulders and looked to Heart with a cynical, playful expression, "Empress, gambling is like falling in love, you have to be single-minded when you indulge in it, and a horse I like to bet on is worth throwing away money for."
"Even if he's only played three games, dropped into no man's land, and only has a ragtag guild." Heart asked back, faintly, "And you don't replace who you bet on?"
Charles shrugged, "You know Queen, for a gambler like me, picking a horse to bet on is about as unreasonable as falling in love with someone."
He tilted his head back to lock eyes with Heart, a teasing and flirtatious smile on his face, "I think Your Highness, who has had her heart deeply broken by a man, should be quite able to understand my state of knowing it's wrong and still being unable to stop myself from being attracted to someone, shouldn't she?"
