Chapter 388 Reset
After Li Wu finished playing the victim, he paused for a moment to see Yan Xun's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xun said thoughtfully, "Isn't that a good thing?"
"You've gained valuable experience."
After Yan Xun finished speaking, he opened his live stream and saw that the chat was now completely filled with—
[Well done, Your Majesty! Your Majesty will not be easily fooled by such petty tricks.]
Looking at the lively chat in his live stream, Yan Xun asked, "Is today my third day in the dungeon?"
The system immediately reminded viewers, "[You can't spoil the plot in the live stream chat!]"
"It's nothing," Yan Xun said. He looked at the live stream chat and saw that the once bustling chat, where Yan Xun's face was almost invisible, had dwindled to just a few scattered comments.
【Yes. 】
"I understand." Yan Xun nodded.
system:【……】
Depend on!
It's not that no player has tried to take advantage of this feature in the live stream before, but the audience in most players' live streams is just there for fun, and they love watching these players get tortured to death by dungeons. Plus, the chat in the live streams isn't as lively as Yan Xun's live stream.
Even if someone spoils the plot, it wouldn't produce an effect like the screen being cleared.
When Yan Xun spoke to the viewers in the live stream, he did not avoid Li Wu.
Seeing this, Li Wu seemed inspired and asked a similar question to his own live stream.
Don't try it, buddy, we won't tell.
[Your livestream isn't that lively, so you can't tell by testing.]
While you can imagine how powerful it is to follow trends… don't get arrogant!
[Nonsense, can't you count?]
[He actually tried to play the victim with His Majesty, how despicable!]
"Your Majesty?" Li Wu noticed this comment.
He looked up at Yan Xun, "...Is His Majesty calling for you?"
Yan Xun: "..."
He felt ashamed whether he admitted it or denied it.
Perhaps sensing some truth from Yan Xun's silence, Li Wu nodded, "I didn't expect you to have already become the emperor in your live stream."
"...Everyone was quite accommodating," Yan Xun said, emphasizing each word.
【How could that be?! Your Majesty!!! We sincerely wish for you to become emperor, heaven and earth bear witness!】
[Wait, is this livestream even working? Are we going to acknowledge an ordinary player as our master??]
[Let's all have some fun with the memes, why is someone being such a spoilsport? Where did this old fogey come from? We just love being His Majesty's dogs, woof woof woof.]
[This is not a joke.]
[This isn't a joke :)]
Yan Xun really didn't want to see the barrage of comments going crazy, so he had to close the live stream again before saying to Li Wu, "Judging from the reactions in the comments, this shouldn't be my third day in the dungeon."
"But my memories only extend to the time after I got into the bridal sedan chair."
He also encountered a timeline issue during the previous "Sister-in-law" instance.
"I just don't know if this 'more than three days' means that we are in the 'modern' era, or that we have always been in the 'ancient' era."
Simply put, Yan Xun currently has no way of knowing when they entered the instance.
"You suspect that we entered the instance as ordinary college students who just wanted to play an escape room game?" Li Wu asked.
That's what I mean.
Yan Xun held up two fingers. "One possibility is that we entered the instance as players of an escape room game, and we happened to enter this escape room on this day and learned about its background story."
"Another possibility is that we're just unlucky."
"We entered this instance already in our current identities."
“But if that’s the case, something still doesn’t seem right.” Yan Xun pointed at Li Wu. “I just got married into the Gao family. What was I doing the day before I married into the Gao family?”
"Or is this actually our second time around?"
"If it's a second playthrough, what would be the key to restarting?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wu, without much thought, gave the answer along with Yan Xun: "As long as the player attends the banquet and fails to complete the game, the second playthrough will begin."
"That's troublesome."
Yan Xun said.
“Assuming we’re in the second cycle, then hiding the phone in the stove makes sense.” Yan Xun sorted out the sequence of events. “This is based on the premise that a second cycle truly exists and that my locked-room theory holds true.”
"We probably found the phone during our first playthrough, but it might not have been in such a hidden place as the stove."
Based on the theory that the secret room is a room and the black bear man might be an NPC, the phone is most likely placed next to the black bear man, or in a fixed cabinet.
They found the phone on their first playthrough, and their first reaction was naturally to take it with them. They left the black bear man's yard, gathered together, unlocked the phone, and saw what had happened and why a phone would appear in a story set in ancient times.
This action clearly resulted in the loss of mobile phone data.
For example, as he had previously guessed, nothing from this era would appear in the main setting of the Gao family.
In this era, mobile phones either become bricks or simply disappear.
That's why they hid the phone in the black bear man's yard again.
If this viewpoint is correct, then it's possible that the Black Bear Man's yard is a place that won't be reset in the instance, so the phone they hid last time is still in its original location.
Yan Xun told Li Wu all his guesses.
Li Wu nodded upon hearing this, clearly agreeing with Yan Xun's theory.
“But it’s useless. Right now it’s just theory and speculation.” Yan Xun shrugged.
The mission content of the instance will not change. If this is indeed their second playthrough, it means that they did not complete the mission in the previous playthrough and were unable to leave the Gao family during the banquet.
Yan Xun opened the task list again.
This time, his attention was focused on the hidden quests section.
Hidden Quest: The Gao Family's Secret
Why does the Gao family hold so many secrets?
Who exactly is the great deity they worship?
How can all this be put to an end?
"How can we end all of this?" Yan Xun gestured for Li Wu to look at the last hidden quest. "Wouldn't you consider this a hint?"
"As long as we can't complete this hidden quest, we can't end this instance and will have to keep resetting it."
