Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

"Okay, Master." Chuntao followed Zhao Xun and pointed to the road on the left, "Sir, please go this way."

Zhao Xun followed Chuntao's instructions and slowly walked towards the dining room.

During this period, he passed by a garden and stayed for a while, pretending to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Chuntao didn't rush him, just stood quietly beside Zhao Xun and waited.

After about ten minutes, the footsteps of several people finally came from the distance.

Zhao Xun showed an expected expression.

25 players is a lot. They can't all stay where they are, and they will definitely find a way to come out and explore the situation.

Among them there should be characters who are guests like him, as well as characters who are masters. These characters all have to participate in the noon banquet.

At this point in time, the probability of meeting someone in the garden is still very high.

Zhao Xun looked up and saw that the person walking towards him paused for a moment, then pretended to be nonchalant and walked up to Zhao Xun.

There were five people in total, and they could tell who were the players and who were the NPCs at a glance.

Although this platform game is set in an ancient setting, all players entering this game are wearing their own modern clothes, and they can be distinguished from those dressed in ancient costumes at a glance.

Of the five, two were in modern attire.

One is a middle-aged woman with short hair wearing a cotton-padded jacket, and the other is a young woman with a ponytail wearing a sweatshirt.

The other three are all dressed as maids, wearing double buns like Chuntao.

Two of the maids followed the ponytail, and the other followed the middle-aged woman.

"The younger one is the second young lady," Chuntao whispered beside Zhao Xun, "the older one is Aunt Liu."

Zhao Xun smiled.

It just so happened that he didn't need to test the identity of these two people anymore, which would save trouble.

He lowered his voice and asked Chuntao: "Is the second lady the child of Aunt Liu?"

"No," Chuntao shook her head, "The second young lady is the madam's daughter."

Zhao Xun remembered that Chuntao had said before that his wife gave birth to three children, two daughters and one son.

It seems that this second young lady is the last child the madam gave birth to.

"Hey, that's strange," Chuntao said with confusion in her tone, "Second Miss and Aunt Liu usually have very little contact, why are they two leaving together today?"

Perhaps the confusion on Chuntao's face was too obvious. Even though she spoke in a low voice so that no one could hear her, her expression made the two people across from her guess what Chuntao was thinking.

The second young lady quickly explained: "Aunt Liu and I met on the road."

She was afraid that if she spoke too late, she would be judged as having done something inappropriate.

She didn't want her final clearance points to be halved because of this.

"Yes," Aunt Liu nodded at the side, "I happened to bump into him outside the garden, so we came together."

Chuntao didn't speak, but showed an expression of "So that's it".

The second young lady and Aunt Liu were both relieved.

Then, the second lady looked at Zhao Xun and asked, "Are you...?"

"Young master is the hero that the master invited back as a guest yesterday." Chuntao explained for Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun made a fist-cup salute: "I'm not really a hero, I'm just a swordsman."

After saying that, he gently stroked the sword on his waist with his right hand.

The second lady hesitated for a moment and gave Zhao Xun a less than standard Wanfu gift.

After cramming before and tricking her personal maid to show it to her, she secretly simulated it several times in her mind.

This was the first time she had actually used it.

I have never done it in practice before, but now I feel that even such a simple action is very confusing.

She hesitated for a while just because she couldn't figure out whether or not she should return the gift, and what kind of gift she should return.

As the legitimate second daughter, there is no need for her to pay her respects to her aunt.

But as the master's guest or friend, she might have to return the favor.

She has never really learned these things. She is afraid of revealing her secrets, but she doesn't do them. She is also afraid that these NPCs will think that she does not have the manners of a rich lady and violates her personality.

It's all because of the presence of NPCs that things have to be so troublesome.

It’s so sad. Who would have thought that in a survival game, ancient common sense of etiquette would be tested!

Aunt Liu on the side saw the second young lady saluting and hurriedly knelt down for Zhao Xun.

Her movement was too big, and it wasn't a standard squatting gesture. It looked like she tripped and squatted down to stabilize her balance.

At this time, the four maids, including Chuntao, looked at Aunt Liu with puzzled faces.

After Aunt Liu squatted down, she realized that the second lady was only slightly bent and did not squat down. Her face suddenly froze.

"What's wrong with Aunt Liu?" Chuntao asked in a low voice, "Is it possible that the cobblestone road is not smooth and caused her sprained foot?"

Her voice was so low that only Zhao Xun could hear it.

Zhao Xun could see that Aunt Liu didn't know how to salute at all. She just followed the second lady's actions, but she didn't expect that she went too far and squatted down directly.

However, in the situation just now, from the perspective of NPCs who didn't know what was going on, they might just think that Aunt Liu almost fell.

"Aunt Liu, you should pay attention to your manners in front of outsiders." The maid standing behind Aunt Liu spoke in a moderate voice, just enough for everyone present to hear, "If you want to fall, you can come to me. Damn, I can still help you, so you won’t end up like this..."

The maid didn't say the last word "shameful", but everyone knew what she wanted to say.

As soon as the maid finished speaking, she came over and helped Aunt Liu up.

"Sorry." Aunt Liu apologized awkwardly, and followed the maid's words, "I almost fell down just now, I lost my temper."

It would be better for others to think she was rude than to be found out that she didn't even know how to salute.

While Aunt Liu was talking to the maid, Chuntao explained to Zhao Xun in a low voice: "Sister Cuizhu is the maid assigned to Aunt Liu by Madam. With Madam's support, Aunt Liu will always be polite."

Zhao Xun showed a clear look: "So this person named Cuizhu is actually Madam's eyeliner."

I don’t know if the player who pretended to be Aunt Liu was lucky or had figured out Cuizhu’s identity before. Anyway, Aunt Liu’s current attitude towards Cuizhu is normal in the eyes of all NPCs.

What a pity, so far, he has not had the opportunity to see how NPCs will react to players who behave in ways that are inconsistent with their status.

To what extent will the NPC question the player before the level is judged to be halved?

Chuntao softly said "Ah" and quickly reminded Zhao Xun: "Don't dare to talk nonsense."

Zhao Xun didn't pay attention to Chuntao's cautious look. He asked the second lady and Aunt Liu: "Are you planning to go to the dining room?"

"Yes." The second lady took the initiative to answer and asked, "Are you too?"

"Yes." Zhao Xun responded, but did not take a step toward the dining room. He was already standing where he was.

"You...are you waiting for someone?" Aunt Liu asked puzzledly.

"There's still some time before lunch. I was just strolling around. I saw that the garden was nice, so I stayed a little longer." Zhao Xun paused, with a polite detachment on his face, "Aunt Liu, you are a female family member after all, so you shouldn't interfere. My whereabouts. People who don’t know about it may think you care about whether I’m waiting for someone.”

As soon as Zhao Xun finished speaking, the four maids all looked at Aunt Liu again.

Aunt Liu's face became stiff again.

"Aunt Liu, let's go first." The second young lady saw that the situation was not good and immediately spoke out.

While speaking, she was already walking forward.

"Didn't the Second Miss say that she and Aunt Liu just met outside the garden by chance and happened to walk together on the way?" Zhao Xun's voice raised slightly, "I heard from Chuntao that the Second Miss and Aunt Liu are not very close to each other on weekdays. , why did you just invite Aunt Liu to the dining room with you? It seems that you two have a pretty good relationship."

This time, before Zhao Xun finished speaking, the four maids had already looked back and forth at the second young lady and Aunt Liu several times.

The faces of the four maids were all suspicious.

The second lady's expression also became stiff, and even her steps stopped.

Aunt Liu's originally raised foot was frozen in mid-air, neither stepping out nor taking it back.

It felt like she was confirming Zhao Xun's words by taking a step forward, and she seemed guilty when she took it back.

The main thing is that she really feels guilty!

After a stalemate for about five seconds, the second lady finally turned around.

She looked at Zhao Xun and said with a smile: "Although I have a normal relationship with Aunt Liu, she is my father's aunt after all. I can't let her stay with a foreigner like you. It's not polite. Even if It’s for my father, so I should take her with me.”

After saying that, she applauded herself mentally.

If it weren't for the environmental restrictions, she would have jumped up and praised herself repeatedly.

She is so awesome at being able to come up with such a reasonable explanation in such a short time!

When Aunt Liu heard this, she walked quickly to the second young lady and said repeatedly: "Yes, that's right, I definitely want to go with the second young lady."

After the two of them finished speaking, they both immediately looked at the reactions of the maids.

Seeing that the doubts in the maids' eyes disappeared, and they all showed "I see" and "That makes sense" expressions, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, regardless of whether it was in line with etiquette or not, the second lady and Aunt Liu left quickly as if they were rubbing oil on their feet, fearing that if they stayed for a second longer, Zhao Xun would get around them again.

While running away, the two people took the time to look at each other, and both saw the same message in each other's eyes.

It's really scary. The old player's casual words almost caused their identity to be suspected.

Definitely stay away from this veteran player.

The further away the better!

Zhao Xun looked at the two players running away and asked Chuntao behind him: "Chuntao, do you think their words and deeds are strange?"

"It's a bit." Chuntao answered seriously, "However, the second lady's explanation is very reasonable. Aunt Liu should not be alone with her husband."

"With you and Cuizhu here, how come Aunt Liu and I are alone?" Zhao Xun asked.

Chuntao was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Sister Cuizhu and I are servants, different from the master."

Zhao Xun didn't argue with Chuntao anymore.

After a few test sentences, he has basically determined that as long as the person under suspicion can give a reasonable explanation and the NPC thinks it is reasonable, the suspicion will be dispelled.

Even if others remind him that there is something wrong, the NPC will not be suspicious of this matter anymore.

Zhao Xun was about to take a look at the time on his phone when he heard a rough male voice coming from behind him: "Who is this little brother?"

He looked back and saw a bearded man walking over with a smile.

The man is tall and strong, and even before he gets close, he already gives people a natural sense of oppression.

He looks much taller than Zhao Xun, probably over 1.9 meters tall.

Chuntao was so frightened that he took two steps back, and then cautiously said to the man: "He is the master's guest, and he is a hero."

Then, Chuntao introduced Zhao Xun in a very low voice: "This is the master specially invited by the master for the young masters. The one who teaches martial arts is named Wu."

"It turns out he is a hero." Master Wu clasped his fists at Zhao Xun, "I have admired him for a long time."

Zhao Xun returned a fist salute.

Before he could speak, Master Wu spoke again: "I wonder where this hero learned from? What is his ability? Do you want to compare with me?"

Zhao Xun looked at Master Wu up and down and did not speak in a hurry.

The other party was wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt. In the late autumn, he didn't even wear a coat, but he didn't seem to feel cold at all.

Even though he was wrapped in a T-shirt, his strong muscles could be clearly seen from the outline.

Obviously, this is a player and should be much stronger than the average person in terms of strength and stamina.

The most important thing is that Master Wu took the initiative to talk to Zhao Xun.

All new players should know that Zhao Xun is an old player. Even so, Master Wu still chose to take the initiative to talk to him.

Either they are seeking cooperation, or Master Wu is quite confident in his own strength and does not take the old players seriously.

Judging from the last few words Master Wu said, they were full of provocation.

The reason why he chose to talk to Zhao Xun was more like being confident in his own strength and not taking Zhao Xun seriously.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun showed a polite smile: "There's no need to gesture, it's almost lunch time, I'll go to the dining room in a hurry."

Zhao Xun's performance undoubtedly made Master Wu think that Zhao Xun was afraid.

Master Wu chuckled, but did not continue to provoke Zhao Xun. He just said: "That's good, I also want to go to the dining room, let's go together?"

"Okay." Zhao Xun did not refuse.

The two people walked forward side by side.

"Why doesn't Master Wu have any followers?" Zhao Xun asked, looking at Master Wu seemingly unintentionally.

"Why would a rough guy like me need a follower?" Master Wu said, glancing at Chuntao who was standing behind Zhao Xun, "Unlike you, the hero, you never forget to have a beautiful woman by your side when traveling in the world."

Chuntao shrank her neck in fear and did not dare to say a word.

Zhao Xun didn't pay attention to Master Wu's teasing. His eyes stayed on Master Wu's chest.

There was a stubby hair there.

After confirming his goal, he looked at Master Wu again: "Master Wu, you are joking. This is the maid assigned to me by the master of the house. She is responsible for taking care of my food and daily life."

Then, he changed the topic with a natural expression: "Speaking of which, I'm curious about how Master Wu developed his muscles?"

After speaking, he raised his hand and patted Master Wu's chest: "It's so strong."
