Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 186: Bad luck is something you can only accept
This little princess-style room is filled with gauze curtains everywhere, making the room feel full.
But the Underworld Palace is the Underworld Palace after all. The atmosphere of life outside these rooms is created by the constant movement of stone sculptures. Once you enter the "copy", there is still a strange silence even though no living people have lived there for a long time.
The room had no windows and only a closed door.
Therefore, this silence made Tang Zheng very uncomfortable.
"Is there anyone here? If not, I'll stay here." Tang Zheng joked with a smile, but even the joke didn't get any response.
Originally, he thought that as a professional player in his previous life, he would have a great advantage in this underworld palace with great ideas.
Shouldn't the normal development be that he should show his prowess in this copy, kill people, steal treasures, etc.?
But what is the situation now!
He was alone, locked in this small room, unable to move forward or backward.
If he was outside and had no clues, he could talk to the NPCs and look for quests. No matter how unlucky he was, he would always be able to find it. However, in this small room, there was not even an NPC to talk to... What should he do?
"You don't want to talk? It's okay..." Tang Zheng smiled again, but he didn't panic. He walked over and pretended that there was someone sitting opposite him. "Yes, it's okay... I'll try to find out what I can say to trigger it... Oh, no, what I can say to make you interested in continuing the conversation."
His eyes fell on every detail of the room. The exquisite wooden tables and chairs had not decayed after being placed in the cemetery for so many years. The teacups on the table were upside down, but when he turned them over, they were all clean...
Tang Zheng subconsciously touched the teapot and his eyes flashed slightly.
The water in the teapot was actually warm!
If there really was a beautiful young girl sitting opposite him, then all this would be perfectly normal.
But, no.
He made sure that he was the only one in the room, not even the stone dummy was there.
And this quiet space is so strange. Just because there is one person missing, those exquisite tables and chairs, clean teacups, and warm tea all become extremely abrupt!
…
Tang Zheng did not just sit here and wait foolishly. He picked up the cup, poured himself a cup of tea, and placed another cup on the empty seat opposite him, then observed his surroundings once again.
The room was still so quiet, without any change due to Tang Zheng's action.
Tang Zheng didn't expect the problem to be solved so easily. He took a sip of the tea in the cup and tasted it.
"Oh, it's actually the deep valley white grass..." Tang Zheng was a little surprised.
If it weren't for the Star Hound Blood Lure that Feng Le had left on him, Ghost Grandpa wouldn't have invited him to "drink tea" and use the fresh aroma of tea to dilute the blood in his body. He also wouldn't have known that there was a precious tea on the Xingyao Continent called Deep Valley White Grass.
Deep Valley Imperata is a kind of tea that can only grow in medicinal fields, so the taste is very strange when you drink it. Tang Zheng will never forget it after drinking it once.
"Anyone who can use deep valley white grass to entertain guests must be a strong man of Leng Xianyuan's level, right?" Tang Zheng's thoughts, which had just been sorted out a little, were disrupted by this cup of tea. "Could it be that Leng Xianyuan has a cross-dressing fetish... Ugh."
Although everyone has their own little habits, such as licking the chopsticks before picking up food, or playing with hair when they have nothing to do, etc...
However, if this Hades Palace and this room were really Leng Xiangyuan’s own little secret, Tang Zheng truly could not accept this setting.
"Can I have a tour?" Tang Zheng asked into the air.
No one answered him, so he just took it as a yes.
Anyway, the other party invited him here because of the Sun Star Blessing on him. Judging from the overall orientation of the Hades Palace, they should not harm him.
So Tang Zheng started to rummage through the boxes without hesitation...
There is a wardrobe and a floor cabinet, both are very large, with fine carvings and the wood is also very good.
As funerary objects in the underworld, the white paint on them has not fallen off, which cannot be explained by just saying they are of good quality.
Tang Zheng temporarily assumed that there was someone there, so he did not search the closet at first, but opened the floor cabinet instead.
The cabinet had two doors and five drawers. Tang Zheng first opened the drawer closest to him...
"It's so heavy." Tang Zheng pulled the drawer open with some effort. He looked inside and his scalp was about to explode. "What?"
There wasn't anything scary in the drawer.
Instead, it was actually filled with a whole grid of purple gold coins!
One by one, the purple gold Tongbao coins were packed in exquisite boxes, with a box of 100 coins each, and the lid was made of transparent snow crystal glass. Boxes like this, neatly arranged one by one, filling up a drawer, were quite visually stunning.
Tang Zheng had no shortage of the money, and was about to close the drawer when he glanced and saw a box of purple gold Tong Bao coins, which seemed different from the other purple gold Tong Bao coins.
He reached out and carefully took out the box...
In previous games, taking such valuable items would usually trigger some mechanisms, but there seemed to be no such concept at all in the Underworld Palace, and Tang Zheng took out the box of purple gold coins so easily.
"Oh? What is this?" Tang Zheng kept talking, trying to make the female voice appear again, while taking out the purple gold Tong Bao from the box and observing it carefully.
There is no question of whether Zijin Tongbao is real or fake. Anyone with a little bit of star power can find out by injecting star power and communicating a little.
The purple gold Tong Bao that Tang Zheng saw had one side that was the same as an ordinary purple gold Tong Bao, but when he turned to the other side, he saw a portrait of a young girl.
The girl was very beautiful. Even if she was just engraved on the purple gold Tongbao, one could still see her stunning appearance. Even compared with the beauties of the Yaoshan tribe, she was definitely not inferior!
"Could this be the owner of the room?" Tang Zheng turned over the box and actually saw a line of small words underneath.
Huangfu Xuanluo gave it to the Son of the Sun.
Tang Zheng frowned: "Is your last name really not Leng?"
Huangfu Xuanluo...
I seem to have seen this name somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while.
However, Tang Zheng had only seen his name in a few history books!
The person who left an impression on Tang Zheng was the one who had appeared repeatedly many times and was definitely not an insignificant figure who only had a passing mention in history books.
"If Zijin Tongbao is a normal circulating currency, then this box... might be a commemorative coin or something ?" Since Tang Zheng saw the word "gift", of course he would not be polite. He took it away with peace of mind and closed the drawer.
Tang Zheng opened the remaining drawers one by one.
However, no more gifts appeared. Instead, he found some more private items and quickly closed the drawer.
He opened the closet again, but it was empty, with nothing in it.
But judging by the strong atmosphere of life in this room, there should be no , right?
Several flashes of inspiration in Tang Zheng's mind finally converged into a line.
"They said their master had been waiting for me for a long time, but no one came in... The tea was warm, so the master should have shown up, but he didn't. You shouldn't let me look for something as important as the commemorative coins in the drawer by myself, right? And there wasn't a single piece of clothing in the closet..."
Tang Zheng just wants to be alone now.
If he were to speak, he would definitely yell. Is it possible to be so unlucky ?
Because, he understood!
He already understood what was going on.
The "master" should indeed be waiting here, and should drink tea, talk with him, and give him treasures...
But why not?
It was very simple. If we regarded this entire Hades Palace as a stand-alone game, then there was only one explanation left that could explain all the abnormalities after he entered the room, and that was -
"I'm stuck with a bug!" Tang Zheng stroked his forehead with his hand and didn't want to say anything anymore.
