They planned to live near the station, but there were no B&Bs nearby, and the merchants were unwilling to give them rooms, so they had to look for them along the side roads.
From a distance, he saw a man in his thirties sitting in the yard. Wei Xian went over to ask if there were any rooms for rent. The man gave them a cold look, threw away the wooden sculpture in his hand, turned around and entered the house.
Several people looked at each other, and then a young girl with big pigtails came out of the kitchen next to her. She said apologetically: "My brother has a bad temper, so don't take it to heart. He wants to rent a house. My house won't receive guests these days.
You can go and ask in front, or go to the hotel at the end of the road."
After saying that, he also entered the house, closed the door and locked it.
This was the case for several households in a row, either they had closed their doors and asked people not to respond, or they hurriedly closed their doors and ignored them when they saw them.
"The people here are very strange," Tian Kunwen said, "Aren't they warm and hospitable?"
They had no choice but to continue walking. After a while, they came to a house. Before they could call someone, the aunt who had come in the same car came out and waved to Fu Danhong enthusiastically, "Girl, my family is here."
The room happened to be empty.”
There was a man standing at the door behind her. The man was coaxing the child to sleep, patting the child's back frequently and looking at Fu Danhong and Yi Pei.
Fu Danhong took Wei Xian's arm and said, "I want to live with my boyfriend."
The aunt waved her hand, "We all have single rooms, only one person lives in them."
"How can that be done? I don't want to be separated from my boyfriend." Fu Danhong made a look of disgust and said regretfully: "I have to find another room."
The aunt smiled and said, "Only one guest per household is allowed. This is the rule of our county."
"What a broken rule, I've never heard of such a rule!" You Jun said in a loud voice: "You need money, right? I'll give you three times the price!"
The woman and man in the yard were obviously interested, but they still refused after a moment. The aunt said: "If you want to live together, you should go to the hotel in front... Girl with long hair, you don't have a boyfriend, right? You can stay there.
Come down here and I’ll give you an advantage.”
Yi Pei didn't respond and turned away with some disgust.
This one didn't work, so they had to go to the next one.
But every hotel says the same thing: you can only entertain one person at a time. If you want two people to stay together, just stay in a hotel.
You Jun wanted to threaten the head of the household, but was stopped by Wei Xian.
"This county is very abnormal. If we offend the NPC, not only may we not be able to find clues, but we may also be misled by them." Wei Xian said: "It is impossible to spend seven days safely hiding in a room."
"How about we go check out the hotel." Yi Pei said: "The people in the county have bad intentions towards us. I think it is safer to live together."
At this time, Tian Kunwen pointed to a house not far away with his chin, "That person has gone in."
He was talking about the black-shirted player who had not cooperated with them and was also looking for a place to stay.
"Artists are so brave," Wei Xian lamented, "I don't have the courage to act alone, so I'd better go to the hotel."
Everyone unanimously decided to go to the hotel. However, when they walked to the front of the hotel, they were unable to open their eyes due to the unusually pungent smell inside.
"Holy crap, this is a biological weapon!" You Jun covered his mouth and nose and backed away quickly.
"Sorry, sorry, the hotel is being disinfected. The smell is a bit strong now, but it will be fine in a while." The administrator wearing a gas mask came out, "Do you guys want a room?"
Several people looked hesitant, but Xu Huo ran out of patience. He put on a protective mask and walked into the hotel to ask for a room.
Other players also followed and originally planned to squeeze into one room, but the administrator said meaningfully: "Let each person live in one room, for everyone's good."
In the end, everyone requested a room each, three upstairs and three downstairs. Just as they were about to leave, two panic-stricken people rushed out of the stairwell and slapped their room cards on the front desk, "Check out!"
These two people were also players. They glanced at the room cards in the hands of Xu Huo and others, and left the hotel after saying "I advise you not to stay here."
"The player who arrived first." Tian Kunwen and others looked at each other. At this time, another player walked out. He leaned against the wall and looked at the backs of the two people and said: "Two idiots, what is different about this county?
The hotel is safer.”
After speaking, he smiled at Xu Huo and others, turned around and returned to the room.
Wei Xian followed closely and said, "Friend, let's talk!"
The man stopped and said, "I know what you want to ask, but I'm only here a day early. I don't know the specific situation, but I can be sure of one thing. Staying in a hotel is definitely safer than staying in a B&B. Believe it or not."
Wei Xian followed a few more steps, wanting to ask something, but the man slammed the door as soon as he entered the room.
"What's going on?" Wei Xian turned back, "Are what they said true or false?"
"They should all be true." Tian Kunwen said: "It's just based on my own experience, but now it seems that there is not much difference between a hotel and a B&B, so feel free to stay."
Their rooms were on the second and third floors. There was no elevator in the hotel, so they took the stairs to go up. During this period, You Jun said: "Why don't the players come in at the same time when doing the same dungeon? Doesn't this cause an information gap?"
"It's because the difficulty of the dungeon has increased." Yi Pei walked unhurriedly, "Not only is the dungeon itself dangerous, but players who come first may also give wrong messages to subsequent players. If you survive the dungeon, as long as everyone doesn't die together, the first player will be the one who comes first.
You can trick those who come after you to transfer them."
"The dungeon boss will not directly kill everyone, they must abide by the rules of the game."
"That means we don't know how many players there are in the county now." Wei Xian shook his head, "Maybe other players will attack us."
It is best if multiple people live together and take care of each other.
"Three people are the safest, how about we combine freely?" Fu Danhong said.
"You can do whatever you want, I'll live alone." Xu Huo said and walked straight to the first room by the stairs.
"No more discussion?" Wei Xian said quickly: "Only when we are together can we take care of each other. This is also the original intention of cooperation."
Xu Huo had already opened the door, stopped and said: "B&Bs require one-on-one accommodation, and hotels also recommend one person per room. Although I don't know the reason, spreading people around spreads risks."
"Living alone may also cause danger." Yi Pei said.
"There are risks for one person and many people." Xu Huo does not believe that safety comes with large numbers. The background indicates that this city has religious habits. The woman who invited Fu Danhong was attracted by You Jun's price but refused. This is very possible.
Being linked to religious customs, whether it is a true belief or being forced to abide by it, at least shows that in this county, it is an explicit rule for players to live alone.
The rules of the game may not necessarily be beneficial to the players, but before judging the pros and cons, you must first think about who made the rules.
