Chapter 905: The Wrong Way to Open
Creak~
The door was pushed open, and a humanoid creature with a sturdy build and gray-black skin walked into the room. The humanoid creature was about three meters tall, bald, with thick lips, wearing tattered linen clothes, with large fingers, and skin as rough as sandpaper.
"Galu, Galu."
The humanoid creature's language was unclear. Its footsteps were heavy. Because it had been barefoot for a long time, a thick layer of calluses had been worn on the soles of its feet.
"Galu, clean it up."
The Wolf Butler raised his chin. The humanoid creature named Galu walked forward and carried the gloomy man's corpse on its shoulder. Fresh blood soaked the linen clothes, and the humanoid creature named Galu didn't care at all.
From Su Xiao's perspective, when the other party bent over, he saw two flat protrusions on the other party's head. The flat protrusions were originally two horns, but now they had been sawed off.
According to the known intelligence analysis, this humanoid creature named Galu was highly likely the Demon Servant, which was the original owner of the Demon Castle.
Galu carried the gloomy man's corpse and walked toward the outside of the room, leaving a trail of blood on the ground. From beginning to end, except for constantly muttering 'Galu, Galu' in its mouth, Galu's expression didn't change much, and those eyes were even more gray.
The first round of the game ended, and the smell of blood permeated the room. The gloomy man's strength wasn't weak, but his luck wasn't great. He neither had the luck of an empty shot nor a defensive skill with extremely high strength.
The detective little loli wiped the filthy things on her face. The heavy smell of blood made her frown. The detective little loli was a Third Tier contractor after all. Although her expression wasn't very good, she wasn't exaggerated to the point of retching.
Not only the detective little loli, but everyone present was a Third Tier contractor, including the National Football Team three brothers. The promotion speed of the National Football Team three wasn't slow, and their strength matched their tier, so they should have had some adventures.
"Congratulations everyone, you have successfully passed the first round of the game. In the next three days, you can move freely on the first floor of the Demon Castle."
The Wolf Butler picked up Fate Master from the ground, took out a white cloth, and started to wipe Fate Master.
Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and walked toward the outside of the room. He was prepared to explore the Demon Castle first. According to the information in the world introduction, there were 147 side quests here.
Walking out of the room, Su Xiao found that the style of the Demon Castle was similar to that of an ancient European-style castle.
The first floor of the castle was an open space covering an area of about a thousand square meters. The shape of the open space was long and narrow, rectangular. There were dozens of stone pillars in the open space, and the ground was paved with stone slabs.
The room Su Xiao was in before was located on the east side of the open space. Hundreds of meters away, on the opposite west side, was a stone staircase leading upward, which should be the road to the upper floors of the castle, but it had already been blocked.
As for the north and south sides of the open space, there were many rooms. A conservative estimate was dozens of rooms. The wooden doors of these rooms were tightly closed.
Magic lamps hung on the walls of the castle, and the walls were gray and black. The castle was slightly dim.
The magic lamps flickered on and off. The feeling the entire castle gave people was very old, full of the sense of time. Fortunately, the ventilation in the castle was good, and there was no damp and cold feeling.
After completing the first round of the game, one could move freely on the first floor of the Demon Castle. This might be a reward session in some sense. As for where the reward was, this required Su Xiao to find it himself.
Su Xiao walked to a wooden door. This was the wooden door closest to him. He examined the wooden door, and there was a line of small words written on the wooden door.
'Candy is a very good hard currency. Don't try to open this door, you will regret it.'
Seeing this unclear information, Su Xiao stood in front of the wooden door and thought. There was a small hole the size of a fist in the middle of this wooden door. Looking into the small hole, it was pitch black.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao tried to knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock...
The room was quiet. Su Xiao waited for a few minutes and just prepared to try another room when a sound came from the room.
"Who~"
The voice was very crisp. Judging from the voice, there was a little girl in the room.
Just as Su Xiao was thinking about what tone to use to talk to the little girl in the room, an eye approached the small hole in the door.
This eye was light green and very clear.
"Big brother, can you give me some candy."
The eye retreated, and instead, a small, somewhat dirty hand reached out.
"Can."
Su Xiao looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. He didn't have the habit of carrying candy with him. In his storage space, there were many explosives, but not a single candy.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang took out several fruit candies and milk candies. Su Xiao put the candy on that small hand, and the small hand shrank back with a swoosh.
Chewing sounds came. A few seconds later, that small hand reached out again, and Su Xiao continued to put candy on it.
After repeating dozens of times, Su Xiao hooked his finger at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog face was stunned; it had no more candy.
Hiccup~
A hiccup sound came from inside the wooden door.
"Big brother, thank you, I'm full, you are a good person."
The room became quiet. Su Xiao stood outside the door, and he had the urge to chop this door and drag the little girl inside out, making the other party reorganize her language.
Knock, knock, knock...
Su Xiao knocked on the door again. The room was quiet.
"That's it? Ate ten catties of candy..."
Su Xiao originally thought that the previous conversation + candy would trigger a side quest. Now it seemed that it wasn't the case at all. The little girl in the room was full to the point of hiccuping. As for the side quest, not even a shadow was seen, leaving only the sentence 'Big brother, you are a good person'.
Undoubtedly, Su Xiao's 'high' 8-point Charisma attribute played a 'crucial' role in this negotiation. As for letting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang negotiate, in the case of being separated by a wooden door, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang couldn't negotiate just by barking.
Su Xiao's eyes narrowed. He was hesitating whether to chop the wooden door, drag the little girl inside out, and let the other party reorganize her language.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Xiao chose to be safe, but he didn't leave, instead leaning against a stone pillar dozens of meters away to observe.
About half an hour later, a contractor walked in front of that wooden door. It was the man with gold-rimmed glasses.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses didn't look very good. He seemed to have been rejected many times. He wanted to get a side quest from the plot character in the wooden door, which not only required the Charisma attribute to meet the standard but also depended on compatibility. If the compatibility didn't match, no matter how high the Charisma attribute was, it wouldn't work.
Knock, knock, knock...
The man with gold-rimmed glasses knocked on the wooden door. A moment later, he handed over a few candies and talked to the little girl in the room. Silver bell-like laughter came from the room from time to time.
Ten minutes later, the room was pushed open a small crack, and an envelope was handed out from the hole in the door. The man with gold-rimmed glasses left with joy.
Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at each other. Could he endure it? Of course he couldn't! Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's nose was crooked with anger. That was its candy.
One person and one dog walked toward that wooden door with high spirits. Today, even if he had to use a knife, Su Xiao had to get this done.
'Candy is a very good hard currency, but don't try to open this door, you will regret it.'
This sentence seemed to be warning not to enter the room, but in reality, it was bluffing. Just now, that wooden door was opened from the inside. If there were very dangerous things in the wooden door, the expression of the man with gold-rimmed glasses would definitely change.
Moreover, the Wolf Butler's words before were a bit thought-provoking. One could move freely on the first floor, and this 'freedom' was worth pondering.
Su Xiao stood in front of the wooden door.
Knock, knock, knock!
The wooden door was knocked very loudly.
"Bi... big brother, you are a good person. Thank you for your candy."
Seeming to notice that the knocking sound was wrong, the voice from the room sounded a bit weak.
"Those candies... were they delicious."
Su Xiao wasn't the type to suffer and not say anything. Moreover, he thought of a new way to open it.
Since the Charisma attribute was insufficient, plus the compatibility didn't match, then he would put the knife on the plot character's neck. He strengthened the other four attributes, which to a large extent compensated for the lack of Charisma attribute. ===== CHAPTER 906 =====
