The housekeeper's room was full of flowers. Feng Fu, who arrived late, couldn't help but tease the housekeeper's girlish heart in his heart, but Wang Qiang seemed a little moved. Such a dreamy room was exactly in line with his aesthetic!

Although Sang Qi went upstairs before Feng Fu, she did not go in. It was better for "her" as a "pregnant woman" not to smell the strange smell inside.

After searching repeatedly, Lian Wu and Li Yan found a pile of dried flowers, information on vines, a list of castle schedules, and a lingering floral scent. Elsewhere, Zhou Yixi and Zhang Hui also found many dried flowers, but also a golden brooch with a unique pattern.

According to the time on the regulations, it is almost lunch time.

They quickly restored the butler's room, sat down in the restaurant in advance, and exchanged information while waiting for lunch.

Sanqi used the quill and vellum found in the guest room to draw a structural diagram of the castle.

"The castle most likely has a basement, and the two missing players are likely there. The structure of the third floor should be quite different from the second, otherwise the castle's foundation wouldn't be able to withstand it."

After Sang Qi finished speaking, he fell silent again. He and Chen Qianyi could form a silent duo.

The castle was built on a mountain. On their way there, they discovered that the surface soil was loose, especially at the top. If the third floor had the same number of rooms as the second, the castle's weight would be horrific. The castle hadn't been there for a year or two, and given the mountain's geological conditions, it simply couldn't support a castle. Therefore, the third floor must have fewer rooms.

Li Yan: "There is a garden behind the castle, but it is guarded by vines and requires fertilizer to enter. It must be a key location. The problem now is how we can get the raw materials for fertilizer."

Feng Fu suggested: "We can take the flesh and blood from the dead players. We can go find the bodies of Chen Qianyi and Tang Ze."

Zhou Yixi frowned and retorted, "I don't think it's feasible. First, we're not sure if they're dead yet. Second, even if they are, the gardener said flesh and blood can't be rotten. We can't guarantee that their bodies will still be rotten by the time we find them, and fermentation takes five days. If we don't find flesh and blood tomorrow, then there's no way to make fertilizer within the dungeon time."

[Now that I put it that way, it seems to be true.]

[But are we just going to give up exploring this place?]

[Not necessarily. What if they kill each other?]

"There's another way to get into the garden."

The players looked at Lianwu.

Lian Wu said slowly, "Hold the vine master hostage."

"Are you joking?"

Feng Fu's tone was full of sarcasm. He knew without even thinking that the owner of the vines was the dungeon boss and it was not so easy to hijack him. He was simply overestimating himself.

"If we don't find any usable flesh and blood or lifeless flowers tomorrow, this will be the only way to enter the garden. Or do you have a better way?"

Feng Fu stopped talking. This was a survival dungeon anyway, so exploring the garden wasn't necessary. Besides, Lian Wu wouldn't be able to stay that way for long. Just because he hadn't succeeded yesterday didn't mean Lian Wu could always survive. This dungeon was likely to be filled with monsters, and he doubted Lian Wu could survive. Even if he managed to survive, he had a way to make sure he died.

The old players in the guild had already warned him, asking him to be patient for the time being and then use the NPC to kill Lianwu.

The maid arrived and lunch consisted of roast turkey, wine, and some light desserts to alleviate the greasiness.

Lian Wu remained calm on the surface, but in reality, she was extremely curious about the goblet and the wine. The rich aroma of the wine made Lian Wu want to try it very much.

However, 042 reminded him in his mind that this was wine. The alcohol content was not bad, but it would still make people drunk, so he should not drink too much.

After taking a sip, Lianwu's eyes lit up. It was the taste he liked.

Lianwu obeyed 042 and only drank two cups.

After lunch, he started strolling around the first floor, and Li Yan followed behind him, doing his best to be his younger brother, although Lian Wu did not admit it.

Zhou Yixi was also searching for clues on the first floor. When she walked past Lian Wu, she found that something seemed wrong with Lian Wu.

Lian Wu's eyes were a little dazed, as if he was drunk.

However, Zhou Yixi remembered that she drank quite a bit of wine, while Lian Wu only drank one or two glasses. How come she was not drunk, but Lian Wu was?

042 hadn't expected Lian Wu to have such a poor alcohol tolerance. If it weren't for the obvious change in Lian Wu's physical data, he would have almost failed to notice that his player was drunk.

However, Lian Wu was a good drinker and did not get drunk. He looked no different from usual. At most, his consciousness was a little unclear, but it did not affect the search for clues.

The maids' room on the first floor was much more normal, at least without a bunch of flowers. The maids were still chatting and eating in the maids' lounge. It was called a lounge, but it was actually just a small room next to the kitchen, and it was always filled with smoke.

A maid sipped hot cocoa and said, "I heard Mr. Leeson is handsome and wealthy. I really want to see him in person."

The freckled maid next to her said, "Don't even think about it. Mr. Leeson loves flowers and would probably like to spend his whole life with them."

"That's not necessarily true. I have a distant cousin who used to be a maid in the castle. I heard her say that Mr. Leeson would sometimes have all the flowers in the room thrown away, only to put more flowers in a few days. Sometimes he would be particularly gentle to the servants."

"That means there's still hope for me."

"Oh, Mr. Leeson is so rich, how could he fall in love with us? Besides, we will be leaving after the flower show. How can we have a chance to fall in love with Mr. Leeson?"

"Just let me think about it."

Zhou Yixi squatted quietly in the corner alone, without bringing Zhang Hui with her. Worried that she would be discovered, she asked her to follow Lian Wu and the others. So after listening to them, she went to find Lian Wu.

Mr. Leeson is a bit eccentric, and the maids are all hired on a temporary basis, but Mr. Leeson doesn't seem to harm the maids. After all, the maid's cousin survived.

In the maid's room they found nothing.

These maids were replaced every year and did not leave any useful information at all. However, a love letter written by a maid to Mr. Leeson was found. It was so corny that it gave Li Xian goosebumps.

Words like "Your handsome face is like a god" filled the entire paper.

After leaving the maid's room, Zhang Hui suddenly thought of something and her face changed.

Zhou Yixi happened to come over and saw that Zhang Hui looked unhappy. She immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Are you in danger?"

Zhang Hui shook her head and asked nervously, "Has anyone found the chef?"

Zhou Yixi thought about it and realized that she had indeed never seen a chef in the castle. The others also shook their heads.

"Did you find the person who delivered the food?"

Everyone's faces darkened, as if they had thought of something not so good.

They had no idea where their food came from or who made it.

"Does the guest need help?"

At some point, the butler stood at one end of the corridor, looking at them with a dark and unclear look in his eyes.

Zhang Hui trembled with fear.

"Any more wine?"

Lian Wu suddenly spoke and smiled, looking innocent and harmless.

Li Yan was startled. Hadn't they just discovered the chef's problem? Why was Lian Wu already asking for wine? Wasn't he afraid of problems?

"Does the guest want to drink?"

"Ah."

"plz follow me."

Lian Wu followed the butler slowly and looked in a good mood.

Watching them leave, Li Yan tried to follow them, but was scared back by a glare from the housekeeper. Even the veteran player in the live broadcast room told him not to follow.

Li Yan looked anxiously, "Why did he just go there? Isn't he afraid of death?"

"He should have his own plans."

After Zhou Yixi said this, she herself didn't quite believe it. It looked like he was drunk and subconsciously wanted to continue drinking.

However, Li Fen and Zhang Hui didn't know that Lian Wu was drunk. After hearing what Zhou Yixi said, they really thought so.

Lian Wu followed the butler in a daze, feeling a little dizzy while walking, and almost used his strength to take off on the spot.

042 was so depressed that he complained to other systems online about Lianwu's drinking capacity. The players he led were courting death, and he couldn't break the rules to remind them. He could only feel helpless and angry and complain to his colleagues.

The butler walked around the kitchen and led Lianwu to the tall tower behind.

A 20-meter-tall, green brick tower was covered in creeping vines. The tower door was locked, and the housekeeper, looking like a landlady, produced a large bunch of keys.

After searching for a while, the butler took out a key engraved with a rose, inserted it into the keyhole, and opened the lock with a click.

"Guests, please follow closely and don't touch anything."

The butler spoke meaningfully.

[I feel like the butler is talking about them entering his room.]

[I also think that it might be the scent of those flowers on them.]

Lian Wu nodded to show that he understood.

Walking up the winding spiral staircase, some white fungi are popping out from the cracks in the masonry walls.

There are wall lamps in the tower, but it is still a little dim, and occasionally a few spiders crawl across the wall lamps.

The white clothes accidentally rubbed against the wall, leaving dark brown marks.

When they reached the fifth floor, the butler stopped, took out the key and unlocked one of the doors.

There was a lot of wine in the neatly arranged cabinet, and the glass door was carefully opened. The butler carefully took out one of the bottles and handed it to Lianwu.

"The host said that we will meet all reasonable requests of our guests."

Lian Wu tilted her head slightly, "Which requests are unreasonable?"

"Things that the master doesn't like, things that violate the master's taboos."

Lian Wu nodded thoughtfully, holding the wine he had just taken out in his arms.

"Is this entire tower used to store wine?"

"The master can store whatever he wants. As a servant, you just have to obey."

The butler didn't say it explicitly, but whenever he mentioned his master, there was a pious smile on his face.

After leaving the tower, the butler ignored Lianwu and returned to his room to enjoy the company of flowers and satisfy his hobby.

After bringing the wine back to the room and putting it away, Li Fen also came over.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that Lian Wu was fine.

The old player asked him to follow, but Li Yan really just followed Lian Wu. He didn't communicate with her and didn't help at all.

"Don't let anyone else know there's alcohol in my room."

Li Yan showed a puzzled expression, then relied on his imagination to come to the conclusion that this wine had special effects, and nodded excitedly.

042 suspected that Lianwu was just protecting his food, and since he was still drunk, this possibility was much higher.

Downstairs, Feng Fu and Zhou Yixi were arguing, and Zhou Yixi was tied to the ground.

Li Yan acted as a peacemaker, "Stop, we're all players who completed the dungeon together, don't ruin the relationship."

"Heh, I really don't understand where all the so-called good people in Shocking Memory come from. They're all people who almost died, and they're all so hypocritical."

Feng Fu scoffed. He had always looked down on those players who claimed to want to play together. He had been deceived in the same way and nearly died.

Lian Wu glanced at them and frowned.

"What are you doing? Where are Zhang Hui and Wang Qiang?"

Li Yan replied, "Zhang Hui has returned to her room. She's a bit nervous and needs to rest."

Sang Qi was a loner, so Lian Wu didn't ask.

"Wang Qiang? He was sent by some bastard to seduce the maid."

Zhou Yixi's face turned red with anger.

"Who are you scolding! He's just an NPC, what's the big deal? Only hypocrites like you pretend to be fair to an NPC. When the real crunch comes, you'll just push the NPC out!"

After hearing that a maid had a crush on Mr. Leeson, Feng Fu disguised Wang Qiang as a successful man, intending to seduce the maid so that he could easily get her to talk and take advantage of her. He himself benefited from this and would not have to bear any responsibility if anything went wrong.

If Wang Qiang died, that would be perfect, then there would be a source of flesh and blood.

As Wang Qiang was being escorted to the maid, Zhou Yixi, who happened to be going upstairs, discovered his intention. She tried to stop him, but Feng Fu tied him up with a set of props. Wang Qiang took the opportunity to escape, and Zhou Yixi got into an argument with Feng Fu.

When Li Yan heard this, he ran to catch Wang Qiang. Lian Wu couldn't help but reveal a look of contempt. Feng Fu's behavior was simply disgusting and unbearable to watch.

Feng Fu disagreed. An NPC is an NPC, not a human being anyway. It's just a deception of feelings, which is nothing.

However, when he saw Lian Wu's expression, he was still very unhappy. Why were they all so hypocritical?

"Let her go."

Lian Wu stared at Feng Fu gloomily, his tone cold and full of oppression.

[Let that player go first. Don't cause trouble for the guild, or you know what will happen.]

Looking at the words from the old players in the guild in the barrage, Feng Fu had no choice but to retract the prop rope.

Zhou Yixi, having regained her freedom, slowly stood up, holding onto the wall. This was the first time she had encountered such a shameless player. Lack of sympathy was one thing, as there were plenty of such players in Jingyi. But to insult and deceive the feelings of NPCs like this was the worst of the worst!

[042: Take it easy. We can discuss this if you have anything to say. Don't resort to violence. Players can't kill other players!]

[This kind of scum deserves to be killed, but don't worry, I won't do it myself.]

Not doing it yourself doesn't mean you won't let others do it. Lian Wu doesn't want to dirty his hands, although he doesn't think his hands are very clean.

Soon, Wang Qiang stumbled over, holding his head, a maid chased after him, waving her fists, and Li Yan was laughing secretly at the back.

Looking closely, this maid was the same one who was frightened by the mist in the morning.

Seeing so many guests together, the maid quickly withdrew her hand and stopped.

"I'm sorry to bother you all."

Wang Qiang took the opportunity to hide behind Feng Fu for shelter, secretly staring at Lian Wu and the others, including the maid, with vicious eyes.

He was clearly on the verge of success when Li Yan came over and disrupted things. It was obvious with a toe that it was Zhou Yixi who complained, and Lian Wu was definitely involved. The maid was even more abominable, hitting him in the face with her shoe. His face was still burning with pain.

"It's okay, you can continue. He deserves to be beaten. And this guest is the culprit. He was the one who ordered it."

Looking in the direction where Lianwu was pointing, the maid was so angry that her teeth were itching. These two guests were really going too far!
