This was already the last day Yun Shu and the others spent in the castle.
Two days of free activities were enough for them to get familiar with this place.
The castle was very large, and the architectural style was completely different from what they were familiar with, but the only spaces open to them were the living room and the rooms on the second floor, and other places were closed and inaccessible.
However, Yunshu's daily activities are smaller - sleeping in the room, going downstairs to eat, and then returning to the room to sleep.
Occasionally when I didn't feel sleepy, I would watch Lu Mingzhu jumping around in the living room and Chu Xiaoqin caring about them both.
Chu Xiaoqin is... how should I put it? Yun Shu took a serious look at his appearance for the first time in a long time.
He is tall and thin, a bit weak and handsome, and he is different from the poor and backward mountain boy.
As for his personality, after getting along with him for more than half a month, I can see that he is quite gentle. Although he is a bit awkward, at special times, such as the last storm on the island, his concern is very real.
As for being cramped, all three of them are the same, so no one can blame the other.
They didn't talk about each other's past families and experiences in detail. They all had a sense of propriety and didn't ask around. People like Lu Mingzhu, who talked a lot, didn't even ask.
After sizing up the only male here, Yun Shu slowly looked back, holding a talking sheep toy, and continued to slump on the sofa in boredom.
The robot that delivered it had delivered a lot of gadgets in the past two days. She didn't hide them to check, but pretended to be irritable and opened them all in front of those ubiquitous "eyes".
But I never found the "Zhipu Electronics" sign again.
However, she made a small discovery - the toys delivered in the past two days were all... cute.
And when she came up from the basement, she discovered that there were so many beautiful dresses in the room that they were so crowded that the closet door could not close tightly.
Is this what a program crew that makes them sacrifice their lives to compete for the audience's love would do? Take care of the guests' clothes and toys?
Yun Shu pinched the plush ears of the sheep toy and rubbed it for a while, then called out to Lu Mingzhu who was not thinking about Shu.
"ask you a question."
Lu Mingzhu sat on the sofa and raised her hands to fan herself: "This place is as cool as March. It was obviously too hot on the island before. What do you want to ask?"
These words flashed through Yun Shu's mind, causing her to pause for a moment. Then she whispered into her ear and asked, "How many skirts are there in your room?"
Lu Mingzhu looked at her speechlessly: "How mysterious are you doing just to ask this?"
Chu Xiaoqin looked at them.
Lu Mingzhu waved her hand and said, "Don't listen to girls' matters."
He smiled and lowered his head to play with the potato again.
Yun Shu didn't push her and asked again.
"How many are there?"
Lu Mingzhu thought for a moment: "Four or five. Hey, let me tell you, one of them is very...very revealing. Beautiful ones are the most beautiful, but I am embarrassed to wear them."
"It's okay, you have a good figure and can wear it." She said casually, focusing on the number.
Lu Mingzhu only has four or five, but there are more than a dozen in her room.
Is this preferential treatment for her?
Is the person behind this show a man? Or is he a man who doesn’t speak well of Lu Mingzhu?
She could only come to this conclusion.
Once she thought about it, she felt that the eyes around her slowly gathered into a pair of huge eyes, hanging outside the prison castle, staring at her meaningfully.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the sheep toy for a while, thinking about it in her mind.
Should she speak out about this? Will speaking out cause those people to equally distribute their attention to her?
Can their whispers be hidden from those "eyes"? If so, should she tell Chu Xiaoqin and Lu Mingzhu all her guesses?
Is it worth the risk?
"Why are you in a daze again?" Lu Mingzhu pushed her and interrupted her thoughts, "You are still holding the toy and not letting go. Are you really eighteen years old?"
Yun Shu raised her head and looked at her: "I've never played before, is there any problem with playing more now?"
Lu Mingzhu was in a good mood and said in a long voice: "No problem, you can play with the toys, little sister."
...I don’t know who my sister is, and I was so scared by the prop that I crawled all over the floor.
She continued to lie motionless until the food-dispensing robot ran out again.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat--"
This was the last meal they had in the castle. The meal was very sumptuous, and magically, the robot also provided them with a larger rice bowl for them to choose from.
Everyone knew who this was for, and Lu Mingzhu laughed at her while eating.
"Now everyone knows that you eat too much. Isn't it because the audience asked for the extra bowl? It's embarrassing in front of all the audience."
Yun Shu glanced at her coolly: "That's not as embarrassing as the two days ago when you crawled all over the ground and screamed until your voice became hoarse."
Lu Mingzhu's smile suddenly stiffened.
Chu Xiaoqin was like a doormat caught in the middle. He didn't dare to offend his sinful and stupid mother-in-law, and he didn't dare to offend his sister-in-law who was extremely powerful in combat. He could only lower his head and suppress a snicker even when he laughed.
Yun Shu treated what she said as water being thrown away, and was not responsible at all. She just finished it after saying it. She didn't care about Lu Mingzhu's expression of not being able to swallow, and just continued to eat by herself.
Today, there is finally no milk stew that she hates, and there is stuffed pork with bean paste that she likes. This meal is very satisfying.
After dinner, the electronic voice that had been away for three days informed them: "Please go back to your room and wait for the map to be changed. The fourth phase of the game is special. You are allowed to pick something smaller in the castle to take with you. Please bring something with you."
The guests were selected within ten minutes.”
"Can you choose something?" Lu Mingzhu became excited again and walked around, "Then what should I bring, this little potato? What do you want to bring?"
Yun Shu looked around but couldn't find the wine bottle she wanted. She could only sigh and touch the sheep toy next to the seat.
"I'll take this with me."
Lu Mingzhu: "Bringing toys? You're not mistaken, right? What's the use of it?"
"At least it doesn't scream or get all over the floor..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lu Mingzhu stopped provoking her and approached Chu Xiaoqin with a blue face.
She touched the sheep's head again with satisfaction.
After ten minutes of picking and choosing, Lu Mingzhu finally brought the potato and Chu Xiaoqin brought a fork.
Each one is weirder than the last.
After selecting, the three people returned to the room and waited.
Yunshu was very energetic. She kept standing in front of the full-length mirror holding the sheep toy, trying to open her eyes wide to understand the process of "converting the map".
But within a few minutes, she suddenly felt a little sleepy. Slowly, her eyelids started to tremble and her body became weak.
The sheep toy in her hand fell to the ground, she opened her eyes and couldn't see clearly, staggered and fell to the ground.
There was silence in the castle. Half an hour later, someone entered the gate of the castle.
——
ps: The difference between the three players in the game can be explained with an example. If three bloody medium-rare steaks are placed in front of them——
Chu Xiaoqin won't say anything. Even if he doesn't like it, he will eat it and keep smiling.
Lu Mingzhu didn't want to eat but was embarrassed to say so. She hesitated and could only mutter a few words, "This meat still has blood. These people's habits are really disgusting." Then she frowned and took a bite.
As for Yun Shu, if you don't like it, you just don't like it. No matter how much it's worth, just push it away neatly.
Different personalities will lead them to make different choices in the future.
