"There are not as many players coming to Gem City as I thought." Li Kun added.
"Maybe it's because it's more difficult to clear the customs in Gemstone City, so I went to Moon City." Xu Huo looked at him, "What are your plans next?"
"On the way, Duan Cheng and I tested the public facilities on the street and also tried in the tavern, but we haven't found the props yet." Li Kun said: "Actually, whether you can pass the level or not is a secondary matter. The main thing is where to look for possible props."
According to the known examples of obtaining naturally occurring items in the game, they are usually obtained from extremely inconspicuous places, such as one of a pile of tools, or daily necessities that are still in use, or even in the trash.
——Although I don’t know who is bored enough to dig through the trash, this means that the prop itself may look very ordinary and has nothing special, so it is unlikely to judge it at a glance.
In this way, the scope is too large. Who can say that there must be no gems paving the streets?
It is impossible to inspect the entire city in a short period of time, especially when anyone who enters a house at will may be judged as a criminal.
"Are you planning to go to the King's Castle?" Xu Huo asked.
This is currently the most "efficient" method. You can not only look for props in the castle, but also possibly investigate the theft of gems.
"We have to wait until late at night before we can take action." Li Kun paused and asked, "How long will you stay here?"
"I plan to collect information here at the performance venue," Xu Huo said, "Maybe there will be clues, and we will meet outside the King's Castle in the evening."
Li Kun had no objection, nodded and left.
Not long after, Yan Jiayu came back and brought back accurate news, that is, no matter how outsiders changed their disguises, the residents of Gem City would be able to identify them.
"People in the whole city know each other. Even if they imitate their appearance and modify their appearance, the residents will think that they are foreigners who look like them."
"But you can disguise yourself as a resident of the city, but in this case, people who will talk to you will immediately appear around you. Our accents are no different from those of the people in Gem City, but they can recognize them immediately. I saw a person who revealed his identity on the road
player, he finally got away by saying that he just looked like the resident."
She paused, "And the people in Gem City have another kind of xenophobia. The player pretending to be a resident had previously hinted that he was here to find relatives, but no resident believed it."
"Everyone in the city knows the truth and it's impossible to pretend to be their relatives," Xu Huo said.
Yan Jiayu nodded, "At this time, the residents of Gem City are not as easy to talk to as we saw in the afternoon."
She touched her chin as she spoke, "Both adults and children are very firm in their understanding of themselves. It is indeed a fairy tale world."
The topic ended here, and Xu Huo mentioned Li Kun's visit again. Yan Jiayu said without surprise: "If the thief can be caught so easily, it won't be a C-level dungeon."
"Are we really going to perform on stage tonight?" She was very interested in this.
Since the identity has been set, of course it must be based on the identity. Xu Huo nodded, "I perform magic."
"I can perform with Da Mao!" Yan Jiayu became excited and took out a lot of small toys and props to choose from. "How many shows do you need to prepare? I can do twenty in one go!"
"You don't need so much," Xu Huo smiled, "Today is not a formal performance, just show off. Tomorrow night is the official performance, and we have to purchase the necessary items during the day tomorrow."
Yan Jiayu blinked and understood, and then said: "Did you find the props in the performance venue? Did Li Kun and the others find them?"
"I didn't. Li Kun and the others don't know." Xu Huo said.
Yan Jiayu picked up a piece of bread from the table and said, "They are dishonest. They probably won't give it to us even if they find the props."
"If they don't give it to us, we won't give it to them either."
In fact, everyone knew well before entering the dungeon that there was no mandatory contract, and whoever found good items would share them equally. This was just an excuse to form an alliance. After all, we had to clear the level together.
"We'll see if they keep their word then." Xu Huo agreed.
Yan Jiayu took a bite of the bread, then narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, "It's so delicious, you should try it too."
Xu Huo picked up a juicy red fruit and put it in his mouth to bite. The sweet pulp immediately exploded in his mouth, giving it a first-class taste.
Yan Jiayu also tasted one and spit out the core inside, "I wonder if I can grow it if I take it out."
"You'll know if you try it." The two of them worked hard to destroy all the fruits in the basket, split the core into two, and each person had half.
This scene was seen by the residents of Gem City who came to ask them to eat. The old lady's smile was full of kindness and said, "Are you hungry? Dinner is ready soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of clanging came from the open-air auditorium of the performance venue. The residents of Gem City first set up tables, chairs, and bowls and chopsticks, and then the fragrant and rich meals were served, with dishes and pots filled with delicious food.
A long table made up of several tables.
The adults called Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu over, but they were not polite and allowed them to sit down at the table and share the food and wine.
The table was full of fruit wine, which made it difficult to get drunk, so almost all the drinkers at the table came to clink glasses with Xu Huo and expressed their welcome again and again.
After they were full of wine and food, they put on their own special show, singing and dancing, and the children childishly performed the drama they learned from school.
The atmosphere was very lively, and Xu Huo also took advantage of the opportunity to perform two small "magic tricks", one to retrieve objects from the air, and one to perform a trapeze.
There was loud applause in the yard, and he immediately said that he could arrange a formal performance tomorrow, but because of the lack of tools, he had to go shopping during the day before starting at night.
People in Gem City expressed their excitement and offered to take them shopping.
"We don't need many things, but they are rather complicated. All you need to do is tell us where we can buy them." Xu Huo said with a gentle smile: "I also ask for your help in promoting it."
This just scratched the itch of Gem City residents. Adults and children all expressed their willingness to help, and even took the initiative to arrange a performance venue so that they could just go shopping without worry. Then they were given a hand-drawn simple map, which roughly marked the market.
Location.
There are many self-employed people in Gemstone City, and many shops are scattered, so under Xu Huo's questioning, the number of places circled gradually increased.
After the business was done, Yan Jiayu used the bubble machine hidden in his sleeve to "conjure" a yard of colorful bubbles, which brought an end to tonight's welcome banquet.
Chapter completed!
