Chapter 62: A Conversation from the Past

After breakfast, Zhang Yuanqing went to the bathroom to wash up, then returned to his room, turned on his computer, and started writing a strategy guide.

From a purely monetary perspective, selling the guide privately would definitely be the most profitable. The official reward wouldn't be much, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

But many things cannot be measured by money, such as merit points.

Merit points can mobilize official resources, access classified information, increase promotion opportunities, apply for official assistance, and so on. These are things that money can't buy.

Moreover, the officials provided guides for his two S-level instances, so now it is right to reciprocate.

Zhang Yuanqing's fingers flew across the keyboard:

[Strategy Guide for Jinshui Amusement Park, Number - 6203, Difficulty Level S, Type: Multiplayer Instance (Death Category)]

[Main Quest of Jinshui Amusement Park: Complete two or more amusement park projects.]

[The first entertainment project I played was the roller coaster. The strategy remains the same: close your eyes during the roller coaster ride to pass through without damage. But the reality is far from as simple as imagined. More details will be provided later.

[Different from the old version, the new version of the amusement park has a "series" setting. The series where the roller coaster is located is called "Heart-Pounding." The entertainment facilities in this series are: Roller Coaster - Underground Parking Lot - Haunted House (Ghost Marriage) - Detective Reasoning Hall.]

[The main task of the underground parking lot is... Remember, when dodging the car robots, it's best for all team members to ride in the same car to reduce time consumption. When drawing cards, try to find a lucky player; those with bad luck shouldn't force it, or there will be a risk of team wipe...]

[The haunted house is the most terrifying scene in the amusement park. There are additional wedding invitation and betrothal gift stages. Female The Way of the Extraordinary members, remember not to fill in the gender as female when filling out the wedding invitation, as women will definitely die. The betrothal gifts are medicinal wine, a wedding quilt, a golden hairpin, and a steelyard. Each betrothal gift corresponds to a vengeful spirit. The method of solving it is...]

[Note that the betrothal gifts are a compulsory attrition stage. Be vigilant against teammates killing each other.]

[Note that during the ghost bride's groom selection stage, Night Watchers will definitely die!! I was able to escape from the ghost bride's pomegranate skirt only because I was naturally handsome and extraordinary, which made the vengeful spirit fall for me. This is a gift from heaven and beyond human ability. You can't imitate it if you can't grasp it. But don't panic, I have a way to avoid the dead end. The solution is in the second stage, the underground parking lot...]

[The strategy for the Detective Reasoning Hall is...]

[Hidden Mission of Jinshui Amusement Park: After watching the Detective Reasoning Hall process, I believe you have some understanding of the hidden mission...]

[Currently, the mechanism for assigning roles in the instance cannot be determined, but in this team, there is an evil person whose identity is neutral. I suspect that the assignment of traitors and evil people is not based on profession, but on people's hearts.]

After writing the guide and carefully checking it, Zhang Yuanqing sent it to Li Dongze's email.

Looking at the successful sending interface, he immediately thought of something:

"Xie Lingxi, that big loli, was able to get the old version of the guide, either she's an official or has a deep connection with the official. Just check it, and you can confirm my identity, no, my ID."

The purpose of The Way of the Extraordinary using IDs is to have a public alias, which is convenient for establishing a foothold in the instance world, so this identity is usually not kept secret.

Just like Yuan Shitianzun's completion of the Sheling Tunnel, his deeds spread in the Five Elements Alliance and Taiyi Sect. Everyone thinks that Yuan Shitianzun has good potential, but what does this have to do with Zhang Yuanqing?

This time, after completing the S-level mission, the Five Elements Alliance will probably not hide his achievements, and may even promote his reputation to show that the organization is full of talents.

Of course, it is limited to promoting the ID, and information related to reality will be upgraded to a confidential level.

Xie Lingxi only needs to inquire a little to discover that her Wang Tai brother is actually a liar named "Yuan Shitianzun."

"If she has an official background, then knowing it is fine. It doesn't matter. I often deal with official members, but only under the identity of Yuan Shitianzun."

Zhang Yuanqing closed the email interface and opened the official forum on his phone.

Suddenly, he saw a shocking post:

#Shocking, Jinshui Amusement Park has been cleared, and the conqueror is actually this person#

Zhang Yuanqing was startled, thinking, "I've only been back for a few hours, and I've already been dug out?"

Opening the post, he realized that it was talking about He Bo. Before entering the instance, He Bo notified his superiors as required. After a night of torment, his superiors and colleagues were pleasantly surprised to find that He Bo had returned.

The local officials were immediately in an uproar, and the news spread instantly among the The Way of the Extraordinary in the same city. Its popularity was like a student from the village being admitted to a university in the capital.

[Qu Ri Ku Duo: Where's the guide? Is the guide written? I've already submitted an application using points, but the deacon told me that there is no new version of the guide in the database.]

[Lai Ri Fang Chang: There is indeed no new version of the guide. I just refreshed the database @He Bo]

The official The Way of the Extraordinary members were initially overjoyed and praised He Bo from Yan Province, sparing no words of praise.

After praising, they found that the guide was not updated, and He Bo did not come out to speak. For a moment, they were a little confused, and some people began to question the authenticity of the post.

[Gua Ren You Ji: Are you trying to get beaten for spreading rumors? Believe it or not, I'll bring my brothers and take the high-speed rail to Yancheng to beat up your branch @He Bo.]

After some bickering and denunciation, and tireless @s, He Bo finally showed up and said:

[He Bo: I did clear the Jinshui Amusement Park and received an 18% experience reward, which is quite generous.]

[Qu Ri Ku Duo: Where's the guide? Where's the guide?]

Seemingly embarrassed, He Bo was silent for several minutes, and the reply came late:

[None.]

What?

Just when the official members in the forum felt like they were being played, He Bo replied again:

[I just took a hit for someone, and then I died, and then I cleared the instance, so I don't have a guide for you. Perhaps you find it incredible, how can an S-level instance be so simple? I can only say that this is one of the ways to play Jinshui Amusement Park. Specific details cannot be said in the forum. The expert who carried me through should have a complete guide, but he doesn't seem to be an official. I can tell you his name.]

He Bo cleared the instance by lying down? Who, who is so compassionate and resourceful? What kind of person is this?

[Qu Ri Ku Duo: Who is it? Tell me quickly!!]

Qu Ri Ku Duo and some official members who are about to enter the instance are the most eager.

[He Bo: I only know his name is Wang Tai. We didn't interact much, so I don't know much about him.]

[Li Dongze: ???]

[Guan Ya: ???]

[Qing Teng: ???]

[Bai Long: ???]

Others began to discuss who Wang Tai was, surprised that they had never heard of this person. Someone tried to @ Wang Tai and found that there was such an ID.

[Qing Jiao Wo Nv Wang: Oh, it seems that he is one of our officials, that's great.]

Under the tireless summoning of a group of people, Wang Tai appeared.

[Wang Tai: I didn't, it wasn't me, don't talk nonsense. But I know who it is, his name is Yuan Shitianzun.]

[Qu Ri Ku Duo: Yuan Shitianzun? What a domineering name, no wonder he is so excellent. Who is he?]

[Gua Ren You Ji: Why does it sound familiar?]

[Bai Long: I know, it's the Night Watcher who cleared the Sheling Tunnel. He was forcibly taken as a subordinate by that dog thief named 'Li Dongze' above. I have just decided to rescue him from the sea of ​​suffering.]

As soon as she said this, everyone in the forum reacted and remembered the newbie who cleared the Sheling Tunnel. More than half a month ago, he was also quite famous for a while.

[Qu Ri Ku Duo: It's him? That's great, it's good that he is one of our officials. The most afraid thing is that wild The Way of the Extraordinary complete the guide, and secondly, the guys from Taiyi Sect.]

Because only their own people can make a guide, they can get it at the lowest cost. Their own guide and other people's guides are different.

[Qing Jiao Wo Nv Wang: It's him. Speaking of which, he is also a Night Watcher. Fortunately, he was recruited into our Five Elements Alliance. Well, I suddenly remembered a popular saying in the Taiyi Sect forum recently: Elder Sun is confused!]

[He Bo: So his name is Yuan Shitianzun...]

[Gua Ren You Ji: So, this kid, no, this big brother, has cleared two S-level instances?]

Such a person may become a rising star in the Five Elements Alliance in the near future.

Please let Elder Sun go, no, let Captain Yuan go. Elder Sun will beat him to death... Zhang Yuanqing quit the forum with satisfaction, put away his phone, pushed away from the table, and went over to lock the door.

Then, he opened the drawer and took out the Cat King speaker.

This tricky item cannot be stored in the item bar and can only be carried with him. After returning, he threw the speaker into the drawer.

"Brother Bing said that he left everything in the Cat King speaker, and this item does have a recording function. It has been verified in the haunted house, so to know what Brother Bing left behind, you have to make it speak..."

Zhang Yuanqing held the black metal-cased speaker in his palm and fell into deep thought.

The Cat King speaker only has two buttons, one for drum sounds and one for suona. The two sounds are quite magical and cannot be tried in residential buildings, otherwise innocent people will be affected.

Moreover, even if you press the button, it is unlikely to get information.

"When it revealed information in the haunted house, it was automatic. I didn't press the button at the time. In this case, to get information from the Cat King speaker, can you only be random?"

Zhang Yuanqing frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly thought that this tricky item showed a desire to survive that it shouldn't have when facing the ghost bride.

"That's right, the soul of the Cat King is sealed in the item. Like the Red Dancing Shoes, it is an item with its own ideas. If you have ideas, you can communicate..."

After figuring this out, Zhang Yuanqing cleared his throat:

"Cat King, you will follow me from now on, eat good food and drink good drinks, good days are ahead. I want to ask you for a favor now, um, do you have any records about the Demon Lord?"

He originally wanted to say Brother Bing, but the Cat King definitely doesn't know who Brother Bing is, and he doesn't know Brother Bing's instance ID.

The black metal-cased speaker did not respond.

"Are you refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit?"

The speaker did not respond.

After several unsuccessful persuasions, Zhang Yuanqing was furious and threw it into the trash can, unbuttoning his pants:

"Okay, if you are unrighteous, then I will be unfaithful. Let you taste the virgin soup."

Just as he was about to take out the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle and empty the sea eye, the Cat King speaker, trapped in a difficult situation, made a "buzzing" electrical sound.

There's hope!

Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed. The next moment, a strange audio echoed in the room:

"Ah~ Ah ah... Um~ Um~ Ah... Be gentle..."

The woman's seductive whispers and the man's heavy breathing echoed in the room, surround sound.

What happened... Zhang Yuanqing's face was dull, and a row of question marks flashed in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, the bedroom door was knocked on violently, and his grandmother's angry roar came:

"Zhang Yuanqing, what are you doing in the room! The sound has spread downstairs, aren't you ashamed! Open the door, I'm going to beat you to death today!!"

Grandma, let me explain!!! Zhang Yuanqing stretched out his hand towards the door in despair, grabbing twice as if to save his lost family affection.

That's right, the Night Wanderer skill can eliminate all sounds... He quickly bent down, picked up the Cat King speaker in the trash can, and entered the Night Wanderer state.

The illusory power of Taiyin exploded, wrapping him up, and Zhang Yuanqing's figure was forcibly erased.

In an instant, the seductive sound dissipated in the room, only echoing in Zhang Yuanqing's ears.

His grandmother stubbornly knocked on the door for a long time. Seeing that the sound had stopped and her grandson was playing dead, she left a harsh word and left.

"I'll deal with you when you come out."

Huff... Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, with the man's low roar, all sounds disappeared.

A few seconds later, a young but hoarse voice sounded:

"I've slept with so many women, but the women of your Beauty God Association are the most comfortable. It's worthy of being a profession that controls love and desire."

Then, a soft and sweet voice, with a hint of hoarseness, replied:

"Lord Demon Lord, it is Betty's honor to serve you. When will you leave this country and accompany Betty to meet the chairman? Our chairman has always wanted to meet you."

The pronunciation of this woman is a bit lame, as if she is from abroad.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing was stunned. The seductive sounds just now were not the Cat King speaker messing with him, but a conversation that had happened in the past.

The protagonists are the Demon Lord and a foreign woman.

Zhang Yuanqing's spirits lifted, he pricked up his ears, and waited for the next conversation.
