Chapter 259 copy closed
“That’s a clue,” Fang Shuo said. “There’s no open flame in our kitchen.”
The man with the buzz cut looked at the bamboo pole and said, "I'm asking you."
Is there no open flame in the kitchen?
Upon hearing this, Bamboo Pole nodded silently.
He sat in the corner furthest from everyone else, looking as if he didn't want to make eye contact with anyone else.
"I plan to find some time to visit other people's homes in the community," Du Yun said.
The others nodded in agreement, probably thinking the suggestion was feasible.
These players have only been in the dungeon for less than a day, and they can't exchange any useful clues while sitting here, not to mention that most of them are new players.
"But we've been in the dungeon for so long, why haven't the quest notifications appeared yet?"
Fang Shuo said, "I remember in the old dungeons, they would give us quest hints after we entered the dungeon."
"Could this be a time-limited survival instance?" the crew-cut man guessed.
"Wasn't our evaluation period supposed to be one month?"
"A month is too long for a D+ level dungeon," Du Yun interjected. "But it's hard to say."
"I saw on the forum before that there was a dungeon guide that took a long time to complete, which was perfect for players to slack off in."
Yan Xun found the description very familiar. "What dungeon?"
“You’ve probably heard of it, right?” Du Yun said. “It’s called ‘Who Has a Sister-in-Law?’”
Yan Xun: "………………………………"
He knows this way too well!
He couldn't help but glance at Lou Yanchuan, only to see Lou Yanchuan wink at him.
Ugh, Yan Xun couldn't help but rub the goosebumps on his arms.
"This dungeon is interesting." Fang Shuo also became interested. "I was thinking of choosing this dungeon before."
"But we found that this copy was closed."
"Disappeared?" Yan Xun looked at Fang Shuo. "When did this happen?"
"Not long ago," Fang Shuo thought for a moment and gave a rough date, "around that time, this instance has been closed ever since."
The time Fang Shuo mentioned was exactly the time Yan Xun cleared the level.
Although she felt it was impossible for things to be such a coincidence... Yan Xun still looked at Lou Yanchuan.
Lou Yanchuan smiled at him and replied, "I do know a little bit about this instance."
"Hmm?" The others' attention was immediately drawn to it.
"You say you know why he shut it down?"
"Hmm," Lou Yanchuan said, "You all probably know that there's a chance of encountering some mysterious entities in dungeons of rank A or higher, right?"
"The higher the dungeon level, the higher the chance of encountering these mysterious entities."
"But I remember that the level of this instance for my sister-in-law isn't that high...?" Fang Shuo asked doubtfully.
"And is there some mysterious entity inside this instance?"
He looked at Lou Yanchuan with a puzzled expression. "I saw on the forum that this is just an ordinary fun game."
"You can pass the level as long as you find the teammate who is secretly dating."
“Yes, that’s the surface storyline of the instance.” Lou Yanchuan nodded. “It’s just unfortunate that someone reached the hidden storyline last time.”
Yan Xun, who has reached the hidden storyline: ……………………
"Hidden plot?" Shu Fan repeated the keyword. "Could it be that one of my teammates has some kind of religious belief?"
"More or less," Lou Yanchuan said. "The boss of the idol group in the instance is a believer in some mysterious faith."
"Several teammates in the dungeon are also more or less connected to this mysterious belief."
"This player just happened to walk onto this hidden path, which led to the appearance of the Mysterious Faith and increased the difficulty of the entire dungeon... After this player leaves, the dungeon will have to be temporarily closed."
"Because that mysterious entity has already partially awakened within the instance."
He looked at Yan Xun, and then at the other players, "Ordinary players have a hard time dealing with these things, which is why the dungeon is temporarily closed."
“But this wasn’t mentioned on the forum.” Fang Shuo seemed to trust the forum a lot, and this was his first reaction upon hearing Lou Yanchuan’s words.
"This kind of thing definitely wouldn't be discussed on a forum."
Yes, the others nodded in agreement.
They all felt that if they were the player who had followed the hidden questline, they wouldn't have made such a big fuss about it on the forums.
"So, you're a veteran player too?" Du Yun recalled what Yan Xun had said earlier. Although he didn't think Lou Yanchuan was related to the time travel, seeing how much he knew about the secrets, he suspected that the other party might be a veteran player who had cleared many dungeons.
The kind of veteran player who gets carried by their teammates.
"Yes," Lou Yanchuan readily admitted.
"How many copies of this are you making?"
"I don't remember," Lou Yanchuan said.
"I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be, how could I possibly remember how many instances this is?" He looked at Yan Xun. "You know best, don't you?"
The others didn't take Lou Yanchuan's words seriously, thinking he just didn't want to admit how many times he had cleared the dungeon.
Only Yan Xun still remembered the time when the timeline was established, and the scene he saw in Lou Yanchuan's memory at the end of the sister-in-law's story.
"How could I possibly know?" Yan Xun said.
"We're not even familiar with each other."
Lou Yanchuan smiled and said, "That's true."
"We're not really familiar with each other."
Du Yun was closest to them and heard their conversation clearly... Hearing this, he was also a little puzzled about the relationship between the two.
He originally thought that the people who could team up to enter the dungeon map would be either close friends or at least acquaintances.
Judging from the way these two people spoke, they were definitely not acquaintances.
More like an enemy.
"Let's put that instance aside for now," Shu Fan said. "What we need to figure out first is what the quest for this instance is."
"Up to now, the copy has only provided us with some rules and our identity information."
"It's been 24 hours since we first entered the dungeon." Shu Fan looked puzzled. "Why hasn't the main storyline started yet?"
"Perhaps the main quest only appears after it's triggered?" Yan Xun said.
His words plunged everyone into silence once again.
"We can't just go and break the rules, can we?" the crew-cut man couldn't help but complain.
"Ask the security guard?" Du Yun said.
"How about we split up and look for clues?"
“I think the security guards, or the people in the white house representing the property management, will have some information for us to know,” Lin Wen said at this moment.
Shu Fan glanced at her a few more times.
Yan Xun knew that Shu Fan had already suspected Lin Wen's identity as a player.
"How about we review the details of everyone's entrance?" Shu Fan suggested, "Let's start with you guys?" She said to Yan Xun.
Yan Xun knew that she was trying to make her goal less obvious.
“Okay,” Yan Xun said. “I just entered the instance and saw us standing in front of that garden villa.”
