Chapter 259: It's 1 o'clock, it's 1 o'clock, it won't be more

Yu Kouchen followed the guidance robot to the first level. The layout of this level was full of vibrant life.

The buildings full of ancient charm are surrounded by flowers and plants of all kinds. The air is also filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, which is refreshing and makes people feel relaxed and happy.

“The scenery of this place looks pretty good when paired with these buildings.”

Yu Kouchen looked at the sets and designs and felt much better. After he sighed for a moment, he walked into the house. The guidance robot 016 did not follow him in.

Yu Kouchen guessed that he would only lead the players to the level and would not help them solve the problems that arise in each level. All problems that arise in this process need to be solved by the players themselves.

Yu Kouchen didn't mind this. Instead, he thought the game was quite innovative. He just hoped that the game wouldn't be too simple, otherwise it would be boring.

Yu Kouchen walked into the house, and the furnishings in the house were full of ancient charm. The layout was very similar to the first floor of an ancient inn where individual guests could eat.

At this moment, a man dressed in shopkeeper's clothes was standing behind a counter similar to a modern cash register. When the man saw someone coming in, he smiled in a formal manner.

"Good morning, young master. Do you need to guess a riddle? If you guess the riddle correctly, you can hear a story from me."

Yu Kouchen paused for a moment, and in his heart he was impressed by the staff's dedication. He smiled and nodded without showing it on his face, and walked up to him, "Please go ahead, boss. I'm very interested in your story."

"Sir, you are indeed a humorous person. I will tell you the puzzle now. Please read it carefully before answering. You only have three chances. If you use up all three chances, you will return to the starting point and start your side game again."

When the shopkeeper heard Yu Kouchen's words, he smiled unconsciously, and then took out three wooden plaques with exquisite patterns carved on them. Each plaque had different words on it, namely: Passed, Restart, and Reward.

Yu Kouchen glanced at the three wooden tablets on the table. According to their shape, they should probably be called tokens. Each token represented a different meaning, but the ending was the same. He did not ask, but waited for the other party to ask a question.

The shopkeeper didn't expect Yu Kouchen to not ask about the meaning of the three tokens. He paused for a moment and didn't remind him. He just looked at him and said, "A family of ten, united as one, guess a word."

Yu Kouchen listened to the riddle and paused for a moment. Then he touched his chin and looked at him and said, "The answer to the riddle is 思 (si) in 思念 (missing)."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled and handed the reward token on the table to Yu Kouchen, "Sir, you are really smart. The answer to this puzzle is Si. Here is your token. As a reward, you can get an extra main story. It is hidden in the interlayer of the wooden sign. Please check it yourself on the way."

"Oh~ Can we play it this way? That's really interesting. Now, can you tell me the story? I've been curious about it for a long time."

When Yu Kouchen heard the shopkeeper say that there was an extra story in the interlayer of the token, his eyes suddenly lit up and he became very excited. He was very determined to listen to the story.

"of course."

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, then motioned for Yu Kouchen to sit on a chair to reduce the weight of his clothes so that he could feel more relaxed.

Yu Kouchen appreciated the offer and really sat down. Although the clothes he was wearing were not very heavy, he was wearing nearly fifteen layers of them and he felt really stuffy. If it weren't for his good physique, he might have fainted from heatstroke.

"I can tell you right now, but my story is only a short part, so you'd better listen carefully. If you miss it, you will never have the chance to hear it again."

When the shopkeeper saw Yu Kouchen sitting down, he smiled and gave him instructions. After he nodded, he started to tell him the story he knew. Yu Kouchen pricked up his ears and listened without missing any details.

"Once upon a time, there lived Xiao Qi's family of three in Yun Village. Xiao Qi lost his parents very early and worked hard in the town alone. He met a noble man, learned to read, and became an accountant. After saving enough money, he returned to the village, built a new house, and married a wife."

Seeing that Yu Kouchen was so interested, the shopkeeper became more interested in telling stories. He smiled and then began to tell the story in his lines.

"Not long after, his wife gave birth to a chubby, white boy. Xiao Qi named the child Ye Zi, hoping that he would be as free and carefree as a leaf, and know how to return to his roots."

"The three of them lived a simple, happy and blissful life in the village for a while, until Ye Zi was ten years old, when Xiao Qi's wife suddenly fell into a well and died."

"Xiao Qi was devastated and died of depression, leaving Ye Zi alone to face the world. He had no choice but to grow up."

"Ye Zi, who was only ten years old, returned to the town with what he had learned from his father. He inherited his father's business and became an accountant. It was also here that he met an important person who changed his destiny..."

The shopkeeper stopped talking here. Seeing that Yu Kouchen was still looking at him expectantly, he felt soft-hearted and reluctant for a moment, but for the job he had finally gotten, he still insisted on his professional ethics. He nodded slightly to Yu Kouchen and reminded him with a smile.

"My dear sir, I have finished my story here. If you want to know what happens next, please go to the next level. There is a new story waiting for you there. Welcome to your arrival and wish you a pleasant journey."

"Ah?" Yu Kouchen paused in his motion of drinking from the cup, staring at him in bewilderment, exclaiming in disbelief, "What are you talking about? I'm listening with great interest, but you don't have any more stories to tell."

"e=(′o`*))) Alas, your story is really just a short paragraph, there is really not much extra, and you even gave me a suspense."

Yu Kouchen stopped drinking water. After putting the cup down, he stood up and nodded to the shopkeeper, "Okay, I'll leave now. The first level is quite simple. The others should have almost cracked it."

"Take care, young master. Come and play again when you have the chance."

When the shopkeeper saw that Yu Kouchen was about to leave, he said something reluctantly. Yu Kouchen listened, but did not hear any intention of trying to keep him, so he smiled and nodded.

"If there is a chance, I will come again. I will leave now. See you next time."

Yu Kouchen left the first level. When he was led by 016 to the next level, he took the opportunity to take out a small part of the main story content from the interlayer of the token and read it. If he didn't read it now, when would he read it?

After reading the above content, Yu Kouchen paused for a moment, combined it with the story he had just heard, imagined the possibilities, and analyzed it before moving on to the next level...

The guests had a lot of fun playing roles in the ancient ghost town. There were a total of ten levels, and the first eight included intelligence games and physical training.

Each person plays a different role, and the ratio of intellectual games to physical training they encounter is different. For example, for a role like a general, the ratio of intelligence to physical training must be 1:1.

The ratio of intellectual games to physical games in the subplots of other guests is also determined by the characters chosen.

Everyone had a great time and soon reached the ninth level. Shen Weiqi was the second one to arrive. He was dressed in tattered beggar's clothes, which formed a sharp contrast with the guests who came later.

"Shen Weiqi, if you don't say anything and squat outside with the bowl in your clothes, you might really be able to get a lot of money. But your face is too handsome and it's easy for someone to molest you, so you have to be careful."

When Yang Yuan looked at Shen Weiqi's outfit, he couldn't help but laugh and complain about him. After hearing what he said, Shen Weiqi immediately ran to Qin Shiming with a wronged look on his face, hugged him and cried.

"Wuwuwu...baby, they all bullied me, you have to avenge me, it's so hard for me..."

Qin Shiming raised his hand and patted Shen Weiqi's back, then rubbed his head soothingly, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, don't feel wronged, it's okay as long as the game is over, we will treat you to a big dinner tonight, you can eat whatever you want."

Shen Weiqi's expression changed instantly after hearing these words, and he smiled like a proud peacock, "Hehehe... I knew Xiao Shiming was the best. When the game is over, I will slaughter them mercilessly!"

"Yes, yes, when the game is over, I'll let you, Brother Qi, make a killing. Now let's quickly share our stories and piece together the main and side plots. We'll have to repeat them to the NPCs later."
