Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Seeing that no one else seemed to have noticed, Leng Yuexing didn't show any unusual behavior.

He opened his prop bag and started rummaging through the props.

Since it's something that can't be seen, it's either a trick or someone used some kind of invisibility device.

He wanted to see if there were any props related to this in his prop bag.

While searching for Leng Yuexing, he sighed, wishing his spiritual power could come along too. If he could just gather his spiritual power into his eyes, he could see anything.

Li Liangcai has gone through dozens of dungeons and has a lot of items in his item bag, including many supernatural items.

Black dog blood, peach wood swords, and various talismans—all of these seem to be for dealing with ghosts.

He listened to the conversation while rummaging through his prop bag.

Fortunately, Leng Yuexing didn't feel any more touching after that, otherwise he would have exploded on the spot.

Leng Yuexing searched for a long time before finally finding the item he wanted—the Phantom Appearance—in a hidden corner.

It's an icon for a watering can, and it says:

【How to use: Spray the liquid directly at the location of the ghost to make the ghost appear for one minute.】

Precautions: This liquid contains stimulants. Exposure to these substances may cause a state of excitement. Please use with caution.

No wonder Li Liangcai put this prop in some obscure corner; it's practically useless.

If you have to deal with an excited ghost after the ghost appears, it's better not to use it at all.

However, after thinking about it, Leng Yuexing still placed him in a conspicuous place.

The only thing about the excited state of the ghost is that it's a bit difficult to deal with, but he's not afraid of it.

Having gone through so many dungeons, Li Liangcai possesses a wide variety of skills.

He had checked the skill list beforehand and found that in addition to basic increases in physical fitness and charm, there was also the ability to control the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The power level can be controlled simply by clicking a button on the control panel, which is very convenient.

The group arrived at the manor in the afternoon. After a brief chat, it was time for dinner.

The Western-style restaurant was also on the first floor. When the group entered the restaurant, they found that the rectangular Western-style table was already filled with various foods.

Perhaps to make it easier to take care of them, the dishes were not served in the order they were served, but rather all the dishes were placed on the table for them to choose from.

The manor owner and his wife were already seated on either side of the dining table.

A bunch of sunflowers was placed to the right of the manor owner, and a folded suit was placed on the chair.

Leng Yuexing guessed that it was prepared for their son.

After entering the restaurant, the group was unsure where to sit. Leng Yuexing took the lead and sat down to the left of the manor owner.

Afterwards, Chen Shaoyan and Zhao Ping went over and sat down next to Leng Yuexing, and Li Zhengyi and Qian Duoduo also sat down next to them.

At this moment, there was an empty seat next to them, the seat to the right of the manor owner's wife. The group had assumed that Zhou Xian would sit in that seat.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xian walked over and sat down opposite Zhao Ping.

When others saw Zhou Xian walk directly to the spot the manor owner had prepared for his son, they couldn't help but admire his courage.

It seems Zhou Xian wants to compete for the bride's position. Zhao Ping couldn't help but feel regretful after realizing this.

If I had known he was sitting in that position, I might have made a good impression on the estate owner and his wife.

He didn't care about becoming the bride of the manor owner's son; after all, he was just a dead man.

He planned to confess his feelings to Shaoyan later, thinking that Shaoyan wouldn't mind his desire to run for bride.

Zhao Ping's guess was correct. After seeing Zhou Xian sit down next to their son, the manor owner and his wife nodded in satisfaction.

The estate owner's wife gave Zhou Xian a satisfied smile.

Of the six people, the manor owner's wife was actually most satisfied with Leng Yuexing.

After all, Leng Yuexing's beauty was the best she had ever seen in her life, and she felt that only someone like her was worthy of her son.

However, after this seating arrangement, she realized that Leng Yuexing didn't seem very enthusiastic about competing to be the bride.

Seeing Zhou Xian sit down next to Jing Chen, she thought Zhou Xian was also a good person. Although he was a bit older, he was still good-looking, decent-looking and not bad-looking at all.

The manor owner did not speak, but after the manor owner's wife said a few words, she warmly invited everyone to start eating.

In front of Leng Yuexing were pan-fried steak, spaghetti bolognese, vegetable and fruit salad, and crème brûlée.

After glancing at the steak and pasta, Leng Yuexing felt something was off, so she relied on her intuition and ate only some vegetable and fruit salad and crème brûlée.

The others didn't notice anything wrong with the meat and vegetables in front of them, but they all refrained from eating them, opting instead for some fruits and vegetables.

Their experience from dozens of dungeon runs taught them that the meat dishes provided in dungeons weren't necessarily made with the meat they were familiar with; they could be made with other things.

The group ate their food in silence, without chatting, and the entire restaurant was quiet.

The butler entered, breaking the tranquility. He carried a tray with yellow wooden plaques bearing their names.

He handed out the wooden plaques to the six people one by one, telling them that these were the plaques to be hung outside their room doors.

Although the group didn't know the purpose of the wooden sign, they decided to hang it up after dinner, just in case it had some kind of restriction that could protect them.

The group put the wooden plaque away, and the manor owner's wife glanced at them with a smile but offered no explanation.

After handing the wooden plaque to the group, the butler stood silently behind the manor owner's wife.

Although he lowered his head, Leng Yuexing could see that his eyes were always looking at the manor owner's wife sitting in front of him.

His eyes were filled with longing.

Just when Leng Yuexing thought the dinner would end peacefully, Zhou Xian stood up.

He picked up his wine glass, first toasting the manor lord, then poured another glass, and stood up to toast the manor lord's wife.

He had a big smile on his face, which was not the ruthless look he had shown in front of Leng Yuexing and the others. After saying a few polite words with a smile, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp.

The landowner's wife hesitated, but after seeing him finish his drink, she thought for a moment and prepared to drink the wine in her glass as well.

Upon seeing this, the butler first gave a cold look to a maid beside him, then stepped forward and snatched the wine from the manor owner's wife's hand.

He lowered his head and said, "Madam, this drink has some impurities. Please allow me to replace it with a different one."

The manor owner's wife was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and gave Zhou Xian an apologetic smile.

Zhou Xian didn't mind, he just nodded slightly, and then continued eating the food in front of him.

He didn't see the butler's cold gaze in the instant he looked down.

Leng Yuexing saw this, glanced thoughtfully at the butler, then lowered his eyelids, seemingly lost in thought.

Dinner ended without any unexpected incidents, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's also easy to let your guard down because of such a gentle atmosphere.

After returning to their room, they hung the wooden plaque given to them by the housekeeper on the door, and then went back to their room to prepare for bed.

Leng Yuexing didn't notice that after he hung up the wooden plaque and returned to his room, his name on the plaque seemed to have been suddenly drawn in blood, appearing exceptionally bright red.

They slept soundly through the night without any dreams, and no one noticed anything unusual. Just when everyone thought this dungeon was too easy, the door was pounded on forcefully.

The one banging on the door was Li Zhengyi. He was pale and his lips were trembling, as if he had seen something frightening and was trying his best to endure it.

Everyone opened the door and looked at him. He pointed tremblingly to Zhou Xian's room.

The group looked completely bewildered as they walked to Zhou Xian's room.

They saw Zhou Xian's body lying face down on the bed, the sheets covered in red blood.

The air was thick with the smell of alcohol, a mixture of blood and stench that made the people who smelled it feel nauseous.

Having seen so many dead bodies, the others remained relatively calm, except for Li Zhengyi, whose body was trembling uncontrollably.

Qian Duoduo, who had always been sunny and smiling, turned serious and lost all her smile after seeing Zhou Xian's body.

Smelling the alcohol in the air, Leng Yuexing thought of the glass of wine Zhou Xianjing had drunk yesterday, and realized it must be the cause of that drink.

The others also remembered the glass of wine Zhou Xian had offered yesterday, and guessed that Zhou Xian was killed because the manor owner's wife didn't like wine.

The only question is who killed him?

As the group was pondering, the butler's voice came from behind them.

"What's wrong?" the butler's gloomy voice rang out.

The group turned to look at the butler, but remained silent for a moment.

The butler peered into the room through the gap between the group and his eyes widened in surprise.

He then covered his mouth and exclaimed dramatically, "My God, what's going on? Someone committed suicide?"
