The system displayed in front of Wen Nan the information about the strategy character of this instance that player Han Feng had already locked onto.
The information on the introduction page, including [Na] and [Identity], was more or less as Wen Nan expected. However, the [Background] section, particularly the portion about the Female War God, was not concerning; it was the last two paragraphs—
[On that day, the mistress ca before her, using [Adam's Rib Powder] and [Eve's Fragrant Oil] to create the biggest secret of the Snow Mountain Villa. And it is this secret that made Chef Xiao Ji what he is today.
Now, a guest nad Ye Jiu has appeared unexpectedly before Jill. His admiration for Jill's culinary skills made Jill feel a long-lost warmth and joy in this cold, unaccepted world. Friends are easy to find; a confidant is hard to co by. The guest's appreciation stirred strange feelings in Jill's heart; the guest's overwhelming charm occupied Jill's thoughts day and night.
Jill suddenly realized that perhaps, he had encountered love.]
Seeing this, Wen Nan fell into deep thought.
Looking up again at the title on the top of the introduction page, Wen Nan confird repeatedly that this was indeed the strategy character Han Feng had locked onto.
However, within the background introduction, there was no ntion of "Han Feng" from the beginning to the end. The emotional part was entirely centered around Wen Nan...
Did he accidentally intrude into the heart of another player's strategy character?
Previously, when Wen Nan went to try out Xiao Ji's new dishes, his sole intention was to complete side quests and loot gear. He never thought that he would also alter the strategy character's emotional line.
It seems his maxed-out charm value has an influence far more profound than he anticipated.
But for now, Wen Nan set this matter aside and turned his attention to the second-to-last paragraph of the introduction—
From this text, it appears that the biggest secret of this villa ntioned in the background introduction, is precisely the tool that can be synthesized from [Adam's Rib Powder] and [Eve's Fragrant Oil], and it is this tool that transford Jill into the current Chef Xiao Ji...
With this in mind, Wen Nan had a vague guess about the purpose of this synthesis tool.
However, no matter what, he still needed to find a way to get his hands on [Eve's Fragrant Oil] first.
"Hiss..."
While lost in thought, a slight sharp pain ca, causing Wen Nan to take a sharp intake of breath.
While Wen Nan was diligently examining the system, Yu Shouling was busy with her "research work" as well.
She, like a good student stepping into a biochemical laboratory for the first ti, felt both unfamiliar and curious about the experint subject before her. She was eager to extract crystals from the "experintal body" to complete her task as soon as possible; however, haste makes waste.
The more she tried to speed up the "experint" process, trying to increase the conversion rate and yield, the more counter-productive it was.
In alchemy, a field where Yu Shouling had been naturally gifted and proficient since childhood, she found herself incredibly clumsy and struggling when first encountering this kind of thing.
This left her feeling sowhat defeated.
Why did everything change just because the "experintal subject" changed, although it's rely the extraction of so special raw material?
Brow slightly furrowed, she sat up, fingers unconsciously rubbing the ruby on her collarbone.
The apple that tempted Eve in legend was indeed poisonous.
She didn't understand; it was too difficult.
Raising her eyes, intending to consult the "experintal body" and "instructor," she found them staring into a certain point in the void absent-mindedly, seemingly... daydreaming?!
Yu Shouling's brows tensed, bending down again...
Mr. Wen certainly wasn't daydreaming. Just as he put away Chef Xiao Ji's character introduction page, he saw a series of ssages pinging him in the guild chat, with mbers lanting and begging the guild leader for help.
Wen Nan now had the fate of countless offspring to worry about, having no ti to concern himself with the mbers' lives. So he quickly tossed a hint in the chat—
[Nine: The mistress of this villa has a deep understanding of special materials and potions. Perhaps there's a need to find connections from the material angle concerning the personal items and strategy characters.]
As soon as he sent the ssage, Wen Nan imdiately felt unusual, his breath catching.
Yu Shouling, seeing the other party so unfocused at such a ti, initially intended to attract his attention. Unexpectedly, hearing his gasp, she imdiately halted her movents, looking nervously at Wen Nan, "Is this wrong?"
Wen Nan shook his head, feeling that the matter still needed to adapt instruction to the material.
This current thod was clearly unsuitable for a research-oriented enthusiast like Yu Shouling.
He reached out, pinching Yu Shouling's slender arm, pulling her into his embrace, "Let us, try another approach."
...
...
In the Wenna Guild group, upon receiving the guild leader's ssage, mbers imdiately asked one question after another, yet the guild leader once again disappeared, ignoring their queries.
Xu Dongsheng and Maid Ah Zi paired up, still lingering at the end of a hallway, while Ah Zi searched a room for evidence. Xu Dongsheng stood guard by the snoring, belly-up fat orange cat.
Seeing the ssages in the guild group, he too posed a few questions, like everyone else, with no reply, as if sinking into the sea.
"Xu Dongsheng?"
Soone called him from behind, and Xu Dongsheng turned to see Liang Yiming walking toward him.
Noting the male servant following Liang Yiming, Xu Dongsheng asked softly, "What's up?"
Liang Yiming nodded, whispering softly so only the two of them could hear, "I have so questions to ask you, about what you ntioned in the group earlier, about Maid Xiao Huang accidentally entering your room."
Recalling Maid Xiao Huang suddenly appearing behind him, with her tongue stretched out, eyes rolled back, and head tilted, Xu Dongsheng shuddered but still said, "What's the issue, do, do tell."
Liang Yiming asked, "Can you recall if, in Xiao Huang's… special form, there are any strangulation marks on her body?"
Xu Dongsheng was montarily stunned, surprised by the question, but after slightly pondering, he nodded confidently, "Yes! There are strangulation marks! Right... right on the neck, a horizontal one, bruised and purple, very obvious, just..."
The remaining "hanged ghost" Xu Dongsheng swallowed and didn't utter.
Liang Yiming nodded knowingly and then asked, "Did you choose Xiao Huang's all-vegetarian set al? Did you get the side quest item reward?"
Xu Dongsheng shook his head.
No matter what, he couldn't bring himself to eat that bowl of yellow soup, and that task ultimately failed.
Liang Yiming's eyes showed a hint of disappointnt, "So no item was obtained then..."
Xu Dongsheng, having an idea, said, "The guild leader got it; it seed to be a ball of yarn he gave to Xiao Huang right in front of ."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yiming looked at Xu Dongsheng again, "You saw it?"
Then taking out a bundle of rope from his equipnt spare container, he asked, "Is the ball of yarn's material the sa as this rope?"
Xu Dongsheng touched the rope, "Pretty much."
After considering it, Liang Yiming finally decided to move towards the fat orange cat sleeping away.
Anyway, there were two locking chances. Might as well gamble once.
With this thought, Liang Yiming gently placed the rope in his hands onto the fat orange cat's belly.
