Chapter 62: The Second Guest
The rewards obtained by the Holy Hand are displayed in the system interface as follows:
1: Ingredients.
2: 20 flint stones.
3: Infrastructure upgrades.
4: Some furniture.
5: The number of rooms is added to one.
These are fixed rewards, and a few more are available rewards, as follows:
1: Storage room plot.
2: Lounge plot.
3: Kitchen plot.
You can only choose one of the three plots, and there are no specific plot hints.
The last bonus is related to the guest.
The system describes it like this: "If the lost woman has lived for a full day, please choose the reward." There are three types of rewards, the first of which permanently increases all team members' magical defense by 5. β
"Second, permanently increase all team members' magic attack by 3."
"The third way, if you randomly get a magic skill of the undead system, you may get nothing."
"Note: Once you select the type of reward, you can't change it."
The first few sentences are not difficult to understand, and the last sentence "the reward cannot be changed" indicates that the reward is not a one-time thing. In other words, in the future, as long as the lost woman continues to live in the Holy Hand Temple, she will receive the corresponding reward again for each day she stays.
"Let's talk about which reward everyone wants to choose." During breakfast, everyone gathered in the living room, and Jun Ziyang wanted to ask everyone's opinions.
Now, after the upgrade of the infrastructure of the Holy Hand Temple, there are several new sets of wooden dining tables and chairs, and the holes that have been filled with wooden planks have been replaced by new wooden walls, and the walls and ceilings have been replaced with better wood materials.
The hall was spotless, all the wooden furniture had a soft sheen, the broken lamp hanging from the ceiling had been transformed into a colorful classical chandelier, and the wall near the staircase was decorated with an oil painting of mountains, rivers and ice.
The counter has also been refurbished.
The 8 heating switches on the first floor are all put into the flint, and the room is warm. Flint is a renewable resource, and after it is used up, it only needs to spend 10 wealth points to be fully charged and continue to use, which is very convenient.
The guest room where the old woman lived on the second floor was also installed with a flint.
"I want to choose the kitchen plot, I'm a chef, I want to see what happens in the kitchen. Hehe, after the upgrade of the infrastructure of the Holy Hand Temple, there are a lot of utensils in the kitchen. The pony was the first to speak.
"I don't care, as long as it helps the team, I'm happy to choose anything." Lao Lu didn't care much.
"A few of us have discussed, just like Lao Lu, whatever." Su Panpan continued.
"Don't, it's like I have to choose the kitchen plot alone, then I'll do it casually." The pony was casual with the big guys, and he made a specific opinion on himself, and immediately changed his words.
"Well, this time, the plot reward will be done according to what Pony said. There will be plot rewards in the future.,Pony won't participate in the choice.,Let Xingtong choose.,If there's a plot reward.,Let Sister Pan Pan choose.,After that, it's YangbaiγLao Lu.,I'm the last choice.γ β
"It's fairest, everyone has the right to choose once, how about it?" Jun Ziyang proposed.
"Agreed." Everyone nodded.
"After the plot reward is chosen, it's the guest's reward. Three, the same rules, pony you choose. Jun Ziyang said.
"Huh? Then I want to think about it...... I'll pick the first one, plus the Magic Defense one. Ma Tachun said.
"Okay, so be it for the choice of reward. Is that old woman going to check out this morning? Jun Ziyang asked.
"This morning she called me up, saying that I was asked to prepare breakfast, I probed her tone, she wanted to leave, but I tried hard to persuade her that the wind and snow outside were too big, and she couldn't stop for ten days and a half months, so let her continue to live." Yangbai said.
"What did she say?" Jun Ziyang asked.
"At first, she was a little hesitant, but then she said that if we could provide her with a food called 'ice and snow soup' every day, she would consider staying for a long time, as if it was called ice and snow soup, well, it should be." Yangbai thought for a while and said.
"Pony, ice and snow soup, can you handle it?" Jun Ziyang looked at Ma Tachun.
"This ...... I don't have a recipe. The pony shook his head.
"The kitchen plot is open, you go and see." Jun Ziyang said.
"Okay."
The pony rushes into the kitchen with chopsticks.
"The kitchen plot is triggered, please complete the cooking of all food within the specified time limit and reach the corresponding quality, if it fails, the kitchen plot will be closed." System prompts.
The system lists 12 dishes that need to be cooked within 3 hours and of the highest quality, including ice and snow soup.
"Come on, ponies!" The crowd shouted into the kitchen.
Cooking is something that Ma Tachun can do. Food cooked with automatic cooking utensils is often unable to achieve the highest quality of food, and only a professional chef profession can endow food with a variety of different special attributes to achieve the highest quality of food.
After breakfast, everyone waits for the second guest except for the pony, who is still busy with the story mission.
The door, which was facing the stairs on the second floor, was back to its original state, and Jun Ziyang tried to open it, but found that it could not be opened as before.
Jun Ziyang checked the number of people in the current copy of the Ancient Era in the morning, and there were only 600 people.
There is still more than a day before the end of the dungeon, and I don't know how many of these 600 people will be left.
At 10 o'clock, the pony rushed out of the kitchen and laughed, "That's it!" β
The kitchen plot is completed, and the pony has a total of 12 recipes, all of which are related to the ancient era, and these twelve dishes can finally be written on the recipes of the Holy Hand Temple, and if the guests want to order, they also have to choose.
12 o'clock sharp.
"Someone's coming!" Star Boy, who had been guarding the window, shouted.
Su Panpan, who was dozing off at the counter, immediately raised his head and tidied up his appearance in a panic.
"Bang bang." There was a knock on the door.
Yangbai went and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the person who came almost dragged his body and crashed in, throwing Yang Bai, who was guarding the door, directly to the ground.
It was two people, one of whom was a woman, she was holding a man, but it was estimated that she was physically exhausted after walking for too long in a snowstorm, and after pushing the door open, she collapsed with the man at the door, pressing Yangbai under her.
"Please, help!" The woman stretched out her hand, and after saying this sentence with a faint breath, she tilted her head and fainted.
The man was already unconscious.
Yang Bai struggled to get out from under the two of them, and shouted with a frightened face, "What's going on? β
"Sister Pan Pan, come and take a look." Jun Ziyang squatted down calmly and observed the two people.
"This man is injured and his life is in an endangered state, and the woman is fine, but she faints from exhaustion and wind and snow." Su Panpan took a quick look at the physical condition of the two people.
"Xingtong Lao Lu took the handle and helped them to the lounge." Jun Ziyang said.
"Okay."
After helping the two into the break room, the system prompt came.
"This is an injured expedition couple, and the two of them are special guests who must be received, and if they are unable to complete the reception task, there will be no more guests."
Now Junziyang and they only have one long-term guest, that is, the lost woman, after having the ice and snow soup, she has agreed to stay for a long time, and the stay time is 7 days.
To complete the survival test, two more long-term guests are needed.
And now these two guests have become the guests who must be received, and if they can't be successfully received, then there will be no more guests.
This means that if this reception task fails, it will not be possible to gather 3 long-term guests, and the survival mission will fail, and everyone will be eliminated.
The plot brought by these two guests can be seen at a glance.
That is to heal the wounded man.
The only person in the team who has the ability to heal is Su Panpan. Now the injured man has been helped into the rest room, Su Panpan has gone in to check the specific injury, and the rest of the people are waiting at the door of the lounge.
A minute later, Su Panpan walked out.
"How?" Jun Ziyang asked.
"He had some traumatic injuries on his body, which I had healed, but what the injuries that really endangered his life, I couldn't tell. Within 20 minutes, he would be dead. Su Panpan said with a solemn face.
"20 minutes?" Lao Lu frowned.
"What about the woman? When can I wake up? Jun Ziyang asked quickly.
"It's going to take four or five hours at least." Su Panpan said.
"20 minutes is too short, isn't it?" Yangbai said in a bit of a panic.
In 20 minutes, the wounded man will die, and if he dies and the plot mission fails, then the survival mission fails.
The time is really short.
"Search for any clues on these two people, Sister Pan Pan, you go search for that woman." Jun Ziyang said.
The two walked into the lounge and searched the men and women, respectively, but found nothing. These people also have their own backpacks, and it is estimated that everything is placed in the backpack.
"What should I do?" Su Panpan looked at Jun Ziyang worriedly.
Jun Ziyang kept his face calm and didn't make a sound.
He didn't know what to do either.
A man of unknown origin lies in front of him with an injury that he has somehow caused, and in 20 minutes he will die, and if he dies, everyone will die because of the failure of the mission.
It is imperative to know how this man's injuries were caused.
"Yangbai, go upstairs and invite that old woman down!" Jun Ziyang rushed out of the lounge and said to Yangbai.
"I can't go up, there is no request from the guests, the second floor is the forbidden area." Yang Bai was also a little anxious when he saw Jun Ziyang, who had always been calm, and suddenly became even more anxious.
"Noon, huh? She's supposed to have Chinese food, don't worry, wait. Jun Ziyang calmed himself down.
"That's it...... Waiting? Lao Lu asked.
"Wait." Jun Ziyang said in a low voice.
What can I do if I don't wait? Jun Ziyang really couldn't think of any other way to do it, because they didn't know anything.
It felt like I was holding a lot of energy in my heart but didn't know where to go.
"What if the old woman doesn't know how this person was hurt?" Zhan Xingtong asked.
"She'll know, trust me." Jun Ziyang is very determined.
"How can you be so sure?" Lao Lu asked.
"Two points. First, the old woman came to us by being lost, which means that she must have some understanding of the environment outside the Holy Hand, but it was the extreme horror of the wind and snow that caused her to be lost. β
"The injured man and woman are explorers, they came here to explore, the man's injuries must have been suffered in the blizzard environment, and it can be inferred that the most likely injury is not far from the Holy Hand Temple."
"Because that woman was able to help a big man walk to our holy hand temple alone in such bad weather, it means that the place where the man was injured is not far from us, if it is too far, it is impossible for a woman to have such a strong physical strength to help a man walk so far to come here."
"That woman looks at what she is wearing, it shouldn't be a warrior's profession, so measuring her strength, you can know that the place where the man was injured is not far from here, and then there is the man's injury, Sister Pan Pan can't see it, it must be extraordinary, if the place where he was injured is far away from us, it is estimated that he will die if he can't hold us here."
"To sum up, it is very likely that the old woman knows what kind of injury this man has suffered."
"Second, think about it, if these two people are the first guests to come to the Holy Hand Temple, and they are special guests who must be received, then, how can we break this bureau?" Jun Ziyang asked calmly.
No one answered.
"It can't be broken, because we'll never be able to figure out what this man's injuries are. The wind and snow are so big, we can't get out, there are no other insiders in the Holy Hand Temple, if they are the first guests to come to the Holy Hand Temple, it will be a dead end. β
"So they can't be the first guest, so there must be other guests before them, there must be someone in the know, that is, we must keep even one guest."
"With an insider, this bureau is alive. This is the result of my backward extrapolation, old woman, must know something. Jun Ziyang analyzed.
Everyone listened to Jun Ziyang's words and felt a little relieved.
Although it is such an analysis, Jun Ziyang has no bottom in his heart. The old woman became their only hope.
Now Jun Ziyang is glad that he has managed to keep this old woman, if she leaves the room this morning, then it will still be a dead end to meet this injured explorer couple.
In short, before the couple arrives, there must be at least one guest in the Holy Hand Temple to revitalize the situation.
As the minutes ticked by, the wait was too painful as death kept approaching.
Everyone was silent, only Yang Bai walked anxiously back and forth in the hall.
It's been 8 minutes.
"Guests in Room 1 on the second floor will have Chinese food." System prompts.
"She's finally hungry!" Yangbai screamed.
"Ponies!" Lao Lu shouted into the kitchen.
"It's ready, serve it quickly!" Ma Tachun rushed out of the kitchen, carrying a bowl of hot ice and snow soup.
The soup had already been prepared, and it had been kept hot, just waiting for the old woman to be hungry.
Yang Bai took the ice and snow soup and hurriedly ran towards the second floor.
