After saying this, the sunny young man stood up again and walked to the kitchen, but when he opened the door, the boss who had gone back and forth happened to come out. While pushing him out, he said: "Don't be anxious, the food will not be served so quickly..."
"
The sunny young man grabbed the door frame and looked inside. Then he did not let the boss push him out again, but asked coldly: "Where is the female player?"
The boss said nonchalantly: "You said the girl who came in just now is gone."
The sunny young man's face dropped, "You just want to leave? I was still there just now."
The boss looked at him strangely, "You are players, when are you leaving, can we stop you?"
Sunshine Youth returned to the store angrily and said to other players who were eating: "Don't eat, you all, this is a shady store!"
Before the boss could explain, a player said: "You just arrived here, don't you know the rumors about Cockscomb City?"
Sunshine Youth, like Xu Huo and others, had indeed just arrived, and he was randomly teleported here by props.
The player took another bite of chicken and said, "There has been a dungeon here that swallows people randomly a long time ago. The time and place when the dungeon is opened are not fixed. It will wander around the city and swallow people, and it will only swallow players."
"So the woman suddenly disappeared. She may have left on her own, or she may have been transported to the dungeon."
Seeing that he was serious, Sunshine Youth said dubiously: "Since you know, why do you still stay here?"
But the player raised his head and said with a smile: "I came here just for this copy."
Sunshine Youth still couldn't believe him, so he checked the contents of the random copy on the Jixin Terminal.
There is indeed such a random dungeon in Cockscomb City, and this dungeon has existed for a very long time. The difference from other random dungeons is that ordinary people cannot enter the entrance of this dungeon, and it has no fixed opening conditions, except for that person.
The time and place mentioned by the player just now, and other rules have not been summarized - this is the experience that local players have gained in exchange for their lives.
In addition to the two cockscomb cities, there are about five nearby cities that are within the scope of this random dungeon event. Therefore, these cities cannot retain players. The local players have long since disappeared. But also because of this, players from outside areas do not dare to stay for a long time.
On the contrary, these cities have become good places for ordinary people to live. Whether those players leave their hometown to take care of their families or miss their hometown, they will have some material support. This is the fundamental reason why life in Cockscomb City is pretty good.
"Is it really a dungeon?" Sunshine Youth remained skeptical, "If it is a dungeon, the local players who entered should have informed their companions outside. It is unlikely that no one has said anything about this dungeon until now, right?
"
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Huo and Hua Nu beside him, as if he wanted to seek approval. However, the next second, he disappeared from the place, as if he had never appeared.
"Look, I believe it this time." The player who explained took a slow sip of soup.
The boss was not surprised by this and said to the kitchen: "The vegetarian guest is gone, so there is no need to cook it."
But the people in the kitchen shouted: "It's already done. If you say no now, why did you go there earlier?"
The boss thought for a while, then entered the kitchen and came out quickly, delivering a plate of prepared vegetarian dishes to each table, "I'm a treat, I'm a treat, don't be polite."
"Boss, why don't we sit down and have something to eat together?" Xu Huo extended the invitation.
The shop owner is a very generous person, so he agreed without much thought, and even brought the wine over, "This is a good wine I brewed myself. Normally I wouldn't be willing to serve it to guests, but you are in for a treat today."
He filled two cups, and before Xu Huo could pick up the cup, he drank the cup in front of him, blushed and took a deep breath, and then urged Xu Huo to taste it.
Xu Huo took a sip, swallowed it reluctantly and said, "It smells very fragrant, and it's very strong when you drink it."
The boss laughed loudly and started to talk about the origin of his wine. He said that about ten years ago, many mutant plants suddenly grew near Cockscomb City. Although most of them are not poisonous, it is troublesome to grow too fast. It happened to catch up with that.
The environment in the formation was not good, and many crops were dead, so everyone used those mutated plants as food, which really saved their lives.
Xu Huo wanted to ask about the random copy, so he asked when the random copy first started.
The boss's high-spirited mood calmed down a little, and he poured himself another glass of wine. "Thirty-five years ago, on the first day of summer, it happened to be my birthday, and it was also the birthday of my neighbor's old man. The two families have a good relationship, and he
My grandson also prepared a gift for me. What a good boy. But when we were having birthday wine, he suddenly disappeared. The soup bowl and spoon were all smashed on the ground."
"Ordinary people don't understand the matter of players entering the game. They only know that some dungeons leave at the drop of a hat. Everyone assumes that he has entered the dungeon. His friends who are traveling with him also say that he has gone to the dungeon, so the old man should not worry."
"It was only later that I found out that he didn't reply at all after he left. He was the ninth such example."
"After that, many players disappeared, and no news was sent back. They probably died too."
The boss took a sip of wine, half-squinted his eyes and said drunkenly: "Death is a common thing in the game, and everyone has gradually accepted it. Anyway, people with no ability like me live well, and the players have all left.
"
"You guys come from out of town and don't know how powerful they are. If you have nothing to do, just play for a while and leave. It's not cost-effective to suddenly enter the dungeon like the two people just did."
"Thank you, boss." Xu Huo added, "I have been to so many zones, but I have never experienced a dungeon like this."
"I heard that the game world is huge, but even players haven't been to every place. It's normal to see some." The boss said and laughed again, "It's better to live in a muddle than to die.
"
Xu Huo smiled slightly and raised his glass to toast him.
The two had a few drinks. The boss had already laid down on the table and was carried back by the chef behind him. Although Xu Huo was not drunk, his head was a little swollen. He drank a hangover potion and left the small house with the painting girl.
shop.
A few steps ahead is the residence of the shop owner. There is a sign with an arrow on the door that reads "This restaurant's food is delicious." There are also people living in the small courtyard a little further forward. In the courtyard, an old man is doing handicrafts.
, there was an iron chain at his feet, and tied to one end of the chain was a haggard-looking woman. The woman was sitting on the ground. When she saw Xu Huo and the painting girl passing by, she immediately rushed up, holding the photo high, and shouted randomly: "䱱伱
Have you seen my son? Have you seen my son? My son!"
She was pulled by the chain and could not get close to the courtyard gate, but she still tried her best to hold up a family photo and hit the young man behind the old man, "My son! My son!"
