Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] Section 81
It was different from the previous two missions, there was no exploration time, and the difficulty of the dungeon was not told - when the difficulty level was introduced, the system directly covered it with a chaotic noise, and even Yuan Xuxue's ear power could not hear it clearly.
The task panel even refreshes right in front of you. It jumped out, and the silver intertwined words blocked Yuan Yuxue's vision, calling for the quest to start directly.
[Dungeon: Murder House Trial Activation.]
Peach Blossom Garden is a first-line luxury villa area developed by Peach Blossom Real Estate, but the first batch of homeowners who moved in after the development went bankrupt within a month, took on huge debts, and committed suicide in Villa 101 due to a serious illness.
In order to pay off the debt, the property was repossessed for auction. But the bad luck began, and every homeowner suffered all kinds of misfortunes, lost money, lost relatives, and suffered from serious illness, and the name of Murder House 101 became famous from then on.
Peach Blossom Real Estate wants to save its reputation and clear the bad title of the murderous house. The new homeowner was anxious to get rid of it, but he didn't want the value of the property to be greatly discounted, so he co-financed and hired a test occupant of the house β that is, you.
Try to live in the villa for a month to clear the name of the murderous house for Peach Blossom Garden 101.
In order to ensure the authenticity of the trial housing, the live broadcast function will be turned on for the daily life of the trial residents and provided to "special audiences" to watch.
Viewers are more likely to visit diligent streamers, so even if there is a button to close the live stream, please use it sparingly and try to keep the stream live for as long as possible to maintain the interest of the audience and the popularity of the live stream. Perhaps their viewing will have an unexpected impact on your trial life.
Main quest: 1. Open the live broadcast room for more than one hour every day
2. The murderous house survived successfully after trying to live for a month
Side quests: 1. Get a popular live broadcast room
2. Gain the trust of homeownersγ
After the task was refreshed, a translucent ...... appeared in front of Yuan Yuxue's face Mechanical eyeballs.
Yuan Yuxue's movements paused slightly, and her fingers flexed slightly when her gaze landed on the mechanical eyeball.
His breath was still calm, but if there was a device that could measure his heartbeat, he would probably find that Yuan Yuxue's simulated heartbeat was a beat faster just now.
The mechanical eyeball was a lot like a camera used in a laboratory to monitor the pre-convict robots.
Yuan Yuxue was also monitored, in the period before he was indicted for treason against humanity and sent to a military court.
It reminded him of some slight ...... Not so good memories.
Of course, the current Yuan Xuxue is not very clear, and the little emotion in his heart at this time is with resistance.
Yuan Yuxue touched her eyeball with her finger with a cold expression, and a translucent light screen popped up on it. Although he was very unfamiliar, he could roughly guess that this was the live broadcast room in the mission introduction. According to the prompts on the interface, he found the number of people in the live broadcast room displayed in the upper left corner.
β 7βγ
At this time, a barrage also appeared on the interface:
"Why didn't anything start? So bored, gone. β
In addition, the barrage is very quiet, and on the big screen on the other side, at a very weird and comprehensive angle, the live broadcast presents the picture of himself touching the data eyeballs.
The number of people in the live broadcast room jumped to "6", and a barrage began to emerge again, urging him:
"Hurry up and do something fun, or I'll be gone."
"That's right."
"It's boring."
The "live streaming function" that this data eyeball can provide is very similar to the camera that monitors the prospective prisoner. But if there's one point of dissimilarity, it's ......
Yuan Yuxue clicked the button to close the live broadcast, and the picture on the light screen disappeared suddenly. The data eyeball also closed its mechanical eye, and gradually turned into a transparent form, if it weren't for Yuan Xuxue's excellent eyesight, he probably wouldn't have noticed that it was still secretly floating in mid-air at this time.
The dissimilarity lies in the fact that it can choose to close on its own.
Yuan Yuxue calmly continued to unscrew the bathroom door, her expression cold, but her fine eyelashes hung down, trembling slightly...... With a little bit of joy that is really hard to see.
And the audience who are still in the live broadcast room at this time: ??
What the heck? If you want to do something interesting, you just close the interesting method of the live broadcast room?
After Yuan Yuxue walked out of the bathroom door, he had already scanned the general decoration design of this villa, and if other functions were not considered, the design here did not look like a villa, but it was surprisingly suitable for shared housing, like a six-story building made up of countless independent houses.
The bathroom he was in was on the second floor in the east area. There is a small living room, study, dining room, video room, gym, two bathrooms and a bathroom, water bar and kitchenette, self-contained space, if there is enough food and water, it can provide a human daily life space needs, and a total of six floors, almost every floor is roughly the same design.
Helicopters are designed at the left and right ends, but now Yuan Yuxue is on the second floor, and he walks directly down the roundabout corridor, so he can better observe the environment in which he scans.
In the lobby on the first floor, there are already five players seated.
They didn't seem to notice that there was another player who hadn't arrived and had already started the introduction session.
The first to speak was the most beautiful woman among the several people.
Her long hair curled slightly, reflecting a beautiful red wine color in the light of the crystal lamp in the hall, and a slender lady's cigarette was between her fingertips, but she didn't smoke it, she just clamped it.
She wore dark lipstick, her lips were like flames, and she wore a long red dress, which outlined her figure. shook the cigarette slightly and said, "You can call me Sister Hong." β
- A nickname that fits her characteristics very well and is easy to remember.
The next person to introduce himself was a slightly older man, about forty years old, with a loyal and honest face, he stood up directly and said: "Call me Lao Wang, of course, you are not very old, if you are willing to call me Uncle Wang, it is okay." β
The order of introduction was roughly clockwise, and the young man on Wang's left was handsome, fair-skinned, but carrying a very strange sword wrapped in cloth on his back. It doesn't look like it's powerful, but if you want to take it out and beat people, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to dismantle the fabric. When he saw everyone looking at him, he bowed his head slightly and said, "Ah Jian." β
I guess I took it casually from the sword behind his back.
It's the next person's turn to introduce, and it's also a very young boy, he seems to be a little cramped and nervous, most likely a newcomer to the dungeon, and he is still uneasy about the strange situation today, and it is difficult to concentrate. His head hung deeply, and he stared at the tip of his shoe like this, until he found that everyone was quiet, and everyone else was looking at him, and then he said as if startled: "It's okay to call me Xiao Ming." β
His voice was so low that the others couldn't hear him. Lao Wang asked him again very gently. Xiao Ming trembled slightly, as if he was about to cry, and said in a loud voice: "Xiao Ming! β
When you hear it, it's a random name taken by a passerby. To be honest, a newcomer with such a personality, even if other players are friendly to him, it will be difficult to survive in the dungeon.
Everyone looked away with some emotion, and their eyes fell on the girl at the end.
She looked too young, about twelve or thirteen years old, and she was still a little girl.
In the dungeon, children of this age are rarely seen...... Probably because children have limited self-protection ability, it will be difficult to survive the dungeon if there is no one to take care of it.
The little girl also looked a little shy, but her personality was actually more outgoing and cheerful than Xiao Ming, and she said softly at this time: "My name is Xiaoluo." β
At the end of the self-introduction session, everyone was about to shift their focus to the copy itself, when they noticed that a teenager had come down from the upper floor, came to the living room, and stood in front of the long table where they were.
The first thing that came into view was the dazzling cold white skin, and the players were stunned and a little distracted. Then he subconsciously looked at Yuan Yuxue's side, but didn't see the mechanical eyeballs floating beside him.
After they finished watching the task, because it was best to broadcast live for a long time as prompted in the task, the audience's popularity might help them, so they opened the live broadcast room one by one, and they didn't see the mechanical eyeballs around Yuan Yuxue at this time, and they preconceived that they were ...... There shouldn't be any players who close the live broadcast room at will, right, so the person in front of you is an NPC? What type of NPCs? Acting as a guide or in opposition to them-
At this point, the players also hear the boy introduce himself.
"Yuan Desire Snow."
Yuan Yuxue lowered her eyebrows slightly and introduced herself.
With previous experience, he was already adept at learning human behavior.
It's a very cool tone, and it's also very good.
This name is not difficult to remember, and it inexplicably makes players feel very compatible with the boy in front of them.
Sister Hong was slightly stunned, and said tentatively: "You are ......"
"The owner?"
Yuan Yuxue: "......? β
He paused slightly, obviously not realizing why Sister Hong would ask this question: "...... I'm a test occupant. β
It's actually a player.
Everyone was slightly stunned, and Sister Hong showed a somewhat embarrassed look. Her fingers trembled slightly, put the cigarette on the cuff, and apologized quietly: "I'm sorry, we waited below for a while, but I didn't expect anyone to be there." β
Yuan Yuxue's progress is obviously different from theirs.
At least when he entered the dungeon, he started the task directly, changed his clothes and came down, and the delay was not long. In between, I didn't run into other players, and it seems that I entered the dungeon later than anyone else.
But at this time, Yuan Yuxue didn't pay much attention, he bowed slightly, found a place to sit down, and the topic returned to the dungeon.
This time the dungeon was strange, and no one received any information about the level of the dungeon. But judging from the description of the mission and the length of time for safety, there are two obviously ineffective characters (newcomers and children) among the six people, and they guess that this time it should not be too difficult.
Sister Hong first got straight to the point and said, "Have you received a text message from the homeowner?" β
Chapter 96: Murder House Trial 3
Yuan Yuxue had seen some belongings outside the bathroom before, mobile phones, keys, wallets and other bits and pieces, which he had brought with him, but he hadn't had time to look through them yet.
At this time, Sister Hong spoke, and he also clicked on the copy of the mobile phone equipped with him, and there were more than 20 unread messages in the inbox - judging from the unopened brief interface, the following few are official numbers related to sales, advertising, phone bill information, etc. Only the latest one is obviously from a private number, although there is no note, but it must be the "homeowner" that Sister Hong said.
In addition to Yuan Xuxue, Xiao Ming and Xiao Luo also clicked on their mobile phones, It is estimated that before Sister Hong mentioned it, they didn't notice the new text messages on their phones.
As one of the employers who hired them to try out the murderous house, the landlord was clearly not ...... Very good talking character.
Roughly because of the high salary, the homeowner paid that staggering price, and he was very calculating. They think it's too cheap to just let the test occupants sleep in it and eat and drink every day. Therefore, in addition to the trial residence, they are also required to contract the maintenance of the house, and must not let other inexperienced outsiders enter the villa, so as not to cause unnecessary losses.
The homeowner required that they have two people to clean the house, one to cook and cook, one to wash and sew clothes, one to repair electrical appliances and repair damaged equipment in the villa, and one to take care of the daily life of the homeowner himself who may come for a short stay.
The previous requirements can still be understood, and when everyone sees the last one, there are obviously some black lines. It's about having them take one salary and do two jobs...... What's more, as players, they didn't even get that salary.
These positions are still mandatory to be filled, and the text message mentions that everyone must perform their own duties and cannot exchange their positions for at least seven days.
Homeowners will often check the situation of the villa through live streaming and in-house monitoring, and if someone does not achieve their work and is found by the homeowner, they will be punished.
The word "punishment" is used very well.
If they are just a simple employer-employee relationship, the so-called punishment is nothing more than a deduction of wages. But in fact, they are now on a quest for copies, and the so-called punishment, of course, cannot have anything to do with money, but may be life-threatening.
Thinking of this, everyone's faces became a little ugly.
Such a domineering and arrogant clause of the homeowner may be a dead node that needs to be paid attention to in the dungeon.
On the bright side, though, the homeowner's text message also revealed some information about the copy. Perhaps it is in the course of these "house-taking" tasks that they want to avoid triggering dangerous plots. It's better than staying in the house and waiting to die.
They hadn't forgotten that this was a murderous mansion, and it was in a dungeon, so it was strange that there was no danger.
In this way, the choice of task is very important.
It's not that it's not easy - like this big villa, the player in charge of cleaning will definitely have a little more difficulty. However, this kind of cleaning is not necessarily the most dangerous, because it is not a difficult task.
For example, the unclear meaning of "responsible for repairing electrical appliances and various equipment damaged in the villa" looks very easy, but the upper limit of difficulty will also be high. Even if players can do anything, they can't fix everything. If it is not completed, does it trigger the death option in the dungeon?
And players who think more deeply also realize that the work they are responsible for is also somewhat relevant to attracting audiences in the live broadcast room...... These viewers are clamoring to see some exciting pictures, what is the "exciting" picture they want to see?
What kind of jobs will appeal to them more?
For a while, the players' minds were fluctuating. After Sister Hong and the others had finished reading the text message, she clicked the table slightly, and the eyes of the others suddenly focused on her fingertips and the slender cigarette that was lightly held in her fingertips. She sighed softly and said, "Now that you understand, let's assign your respective tasks first." β
Sister Hong called up a mobile phone software, which was an electronic lottery software, on which was a big red turntable with various positions already written. She put her phone in the middle of the crowd and gestured: "Draw lots, is it okay?" Wait until seven days have passed, and then consider whether to redraw. β
