Chapter 405

The tea and fruit having problems was just a possibility, and this possibility wasn't actually very high.

Things had already happened, so naturally, there was no need to say more.

"Brother Ling, you two have any discoveries? Don't be busy with romance and ignore our important matters."

The Passerby teased.

Asuna looked and then spoke, "We discovered two points. First, the German Shepherd John is relatively friendly to guests. When we met it for the second time, the barking situation from the first time didn't appear."

"But when we returned from outside the villa and looked at the German Shepherd again, it was neither enthusiastic nor barking. We can't determine if this is the German Shepherd's normal reaction, or because we touched some unknown rule that caused the German Shepherd's attitude to change."

The German Shepherd John was an entity that appeared on the 'Reminder'.

Its behavioral changes were also reflecting the rules to a certain extent.

As players, they definitely needed to pay attention.

"What about the other point?"

"When we left the villa and prepared to go to the forest, the maid appeared and caught up to us, persuading us back to the villa," Lin Ye said.

"So, I have a suggestion. Later, Asuna and I will find the maid and chat with her, while Ms. Leng and you, Passerby, pair up to leave the villa and head to the forest."

Speaking of this, everyone understood Lin Ye's purpose.

"No problem."

The information exchange was complete.

The four players operated, and the Gao Zhongsheng was caught to be used as a messenger.

Lin Ye and Asuna found the silver-haired maid Lisa, who was busy processing ingredients, in the kitchen on the first floor.

'Swish...'

'Swish...'

Running water was washing the potatoes.

"Need help?" Asuna inquired.

"No, no, no, no need. How can there be a reason for guests to help?"

"But you can't be busy processing so many ingredients alone, right?"

"I can."

Lisa said firmly.

"But we still want to help you. Give us a chance!"

Under Lin Ye's request, Lisa finally relented. "Then please help me peel the potatoes. I'll go process other ingredients."

"Alright."

And the Gao Zhongsheng at the kitchen door immediately set off to send a signal to Leng Shuang and the Passerby under Lin Ye's eye reminder.

The two veteran players immediately set off and walked out of the villa door, heading to the forest.

But the two unexpectedly found a tall, golden-haired figure standing with her back to them ahead.

Aiki Carter,

the young lady of this villa.

She hadn't appeared since their first meeting in the afternoon. The young lady suspected of staying in the room on the fourth floor had now actually appeared in the wild outside the villa.

It was unreasonable and very abnormal.

Leng Shuang had already raised her vigilance.

"Ms. Carter, out for a walk?"

"Yes, I stayed in the room all afternoon today. Now I'm out for a walk to relax. Are you two guests also out for a walk to relax?"

"Yes."

"Then shall we walk together?"

Leng Shuang and the Passerby looked at each other and accepted this invitation.

Perhaps,

they could obtain some new clues and information from this golden-haired young lady.

As for the test on the maid?

Actually, their purpose for testing had already been achieved. When they left the villa but couldn't continue to the forest because of the golden-haired young lady who appeared, it indicated that an invisible force was preventing them from staying away from the villa and heading to the forest.

They could try to force their way to the forest, but what it would attract would definitely be a greater backlash.

With insufficient information and an unclear situation now, they didn't need to take huge risks to continue going out.

"What kind of man does Ms. Carter like?"

Unlike Leng Shuang, the Passerby took on the heavy responsibility of proactive chatting. Relying on his characteristic of being shameless, he talked a lot and asked many questions that easily caused disgust in normal people.

"Definitely not a frivolous man like you, guest."

"Ah! I, I'm actually not frivolous. I'm very shy."

"Hahaha..."

The golden-haired young lady covered her mouth and laughed, her smile brilliant.

Honestly, even Leng Shuang had to admit that this golden-haired young lady was truly naturally beautiful with outstanding features. If it were in real society, she would have countless suitors.

And she noticed the Passerby's embarrassed reaction, only feeling that this player's acting talent was very strong.

If she didn't know this was a LV3 player, she would have felt this guy was a pure-hearted man.

In the evening,

the sun set, and the sky was rendered with a layer of beautiful red blush.

Six o'clock in the afternoon,

dinner time.

All six people appeared in the dining room.

The maid served six identical dinners for the six people.

Beef stew with potatoes, salad, roasted pumpkin, stir-fried noodles, and a small bowl of sweet soup.

"If guests feel the portion is not enough, you can contact me, and I will add the dishes and staple food you need."

"Lisa, my appetite is a bit small, I might not be able to finish it."

Asuna pretended to be embarrassed and spoke.

"This... wasting food is not good. How about you let Mr. Ling help?"

The silver-haired maid thought for a while and looked at Lin Ye.

Lin Ye shrugged and said, "Since you can't finish it, share some with me!"

"Thank you."

"Ms. Carter isn't dining with us?" The one asking was Leng Shuang.

After they returned to the villa with the golden-haired young lady, the golden-haired young lady went upstairs first. Facing her invitation to eat together, Aiki Carter didn't refuse, but she didn't directly accept either.

"The young lady will come down later. Please eat first, guests. The quality of our ingredients is guaranteed; Ms. Asuna and Mr. Ling can testify."

Lin Ye nodded. "It's indeed not bad. The vegetables are all fresh. Asuna and I both contributed, everyone should eat well."

This was letting them eat with peace of mind?

Leng Shuang couldn't help but think.

"Please eat, honored guests. If you need anything, call me."

Lisa took her leave first.

After confirming that the maid had already left, the Passerby spoke up. "Is it certain there's no problem with this food? How about we don't eat it and eat the food we brought ourselves?"

Because there was preparation time, the veteran players all brought dry rations.

Three days, just eating a little to hold on wasn't a problem at all.

Leng Shuang also tended not to eat.

But if they didn't eat, they would waste food. What would the maid do then?

This was another problem.

"Asuna and I participated in the processing of the ingredients throughout the whole process, and we basically watched the cooking process. The possibility of the dishes themselves having problems is not high. And the rules clearly mentioned 'we need to prepare to go to the dining room to eat', so... I tend to eat."

Lin Ye looked at everyone and continued, "My thought is, rather than worrying about what harm eating will cause, consider what not eating will attract."

Eat or not eat?

Both have the possibility of causing mutations. ===== CHAPTER 406 =====
