As the desert scorpion fell, it remained suspended in mid-air for a long time, and then a light and cheerful melody echoed from it.
"Suppression successful!"
Four dazzling characters appeared in mid-air, then vanished. The surrounding smoke and dust, the brown sand pits, and the rain of gold all disappeared in an instant, leaving only the green grassland and the motionless corpse of a giant scorpion lying on the grassland.
The girl immediately performed a neat sword flourish and sheathed the katana.
The girl then reached into her helmet and removed the horned helmet from her head.
The next second, a waterfall of black hair flowed out from the helmet, revealing a girl with a flawless, fair face and eyes as black as ink.
This girl is Bai Jiahei, who lives in Xiaobai's mental world and hasn't been seen for a long time.
"Phew! After dying over three hundred times, I finally took down the Desert Giant Scorpion!" Bai Jiahei breathed a sigh of relief, tossing aside her helmet with satisfaction. She pulled out a small knife and went to the corpse of the Desert Giant Scorpion, beginning to cut into its body. "Now all the boss-level creatures on the Extermination Notebook are gone. Woohoo, as expected of me, I'm really powerful!"
The giant scorpion's shell, as hard as iron, was as fragile as tofu in front of Bai Jiahei's dissecting knife. Bai Jiahei easily and happily cut and sliced, and the desert giant scorpion's body was quickly dismembered into eight pieces. The dismembered body fragments emitted a golden light and dissipated, eventually turning into perfectly prepared ingredients, as well as some equipment, gold coins, maps and other game props.
Bai Jiahei packed up the scattered ingredients, then collected the dropped equipment, coins, and maps. Carrying the various packages on his back, he headed back in one direction.
"Sigh, Tizi and Sarah haven't logged on for over a year, and I'm going to beat this game all by myself now..."
"This game is quite fun, but it's a shame that traveling isn't very convenient..."
Bai Jiahei carried the package for more than half an hour, and finally, a medieval-style village appeared at the end of her sight.
Bai Jiahei looked up at the village's address sign, which read "Dafeng Village: No. 28".
"In Dafeng Village on the 28th, I remember there's an NPC gourmet who buys the meat of crustacean bosses at three times the price, and I heard there's a hidden reward... This is it."
Bai Jiahei carried the packages into the village.
Inside the village, all sorts of deep-sea giant phoenixes were living, creating a vibrant scene. However, none of the deep-sea giant phoenixes spoke; all their communication was through hand gestures. As a result, the village was filled with the clanging and clattering of objects, but no human voices, which sounded quite eerie.
Bai Jiahei seemed to be completely familiar with the situation. She carried the materials to a restaurant-shaped building and rang the doorbell.
"Jingle Bell!"
As the doorbell rang, a deep-sea taihou wearing a chef's hat and holding a spatula appeared in front of Bai Jiahei.
Bai Jiahei handed over some scraps of the boss to Shenhai Dafeng. Shenhai Dafeng took the materials, waved and gestured at Bai Jiahei, and then handed him a bag of gold coins.
Bai Jiahei accepted the gold coins and, without saying a word, carried the remaining scraps to another manor building not far away.
After being introduced by the gatekeeper and the butler, Bai Jiahei finally met the gourmet, Dafeng. At a table in the center of the manor, a beautiful deep-sea Dafeng, dressed in an elegant long dress, sat gracefully in the head seat, staring at Bai Jiahei with her red eyes.
Bai Jiahei will hand the ingredients for the giant desert scorpion to the gourmet Daihou.
After inspecting the items, the gourmet Daifeng nodded to Bai Jiahei and gestured for her servant Daifeng to step forward and place a dozen bags of gold coins and a special card in front of her.
Bai Jiahei's eyes lit up, and she quickly put the dozen or so bags of gold coins into her bag. Then she picked up the card and looked at the words on it with a puzzled expression.
"What's this card for?" Bai Jiahei asked.
“…” Food critic Da Feng gestured remotely.
"Never mind, I can't understand it anyway." Bai Jiahei sighed, got up, and left under the watchful eyes of the deep-sea giant phoenixes.
After processing the boss's materials, Bai Jiahei left the manor, looking thoughtfully at the card in his hand.
"What is this card? If it's a hidden reward, why isn't there any special hint..." Bai Jiahei was thinking when she speechlessly poked the card. "That boss took a lot of my effort, I should at least get something for myself... Ahhh?!!"
The moment Bai Jiahei's fingers touched the card.
A tremendous suction force emanated from the card, and the next moment, Bai Jiahei only had time to let out a panicked scream before being sucked into the card in a flash.
Splash splash splash...
The girl with black hair and fair skin simply vanished.
The girl's equipment, along with the large amount of gold coins she had just earned, were scattered all over the ground.
……
Bai Jiahei felt a sudden dizziness, and then she fell with a thud onto a soft piece of furniture.
Bai Jiahei got up with a bewildered look on her face, staring blankly at the ground beneath her.
"Huh? A sofa? Where am I?"
Bai Jiahei looked around in disbelief and found herself in a strange dormitory room filled with a bunch of odd things that looked like DVDs.
Bai Jiahei subconsciously got up, and suddenly felt that her body was completely naked. She looked down at her body, then blushed and quickly covered herself.
"Damn it... all the gear I painstakingly acquired, where is it...?"
Bai Jiahei muttered to himself, his face flushed as he approached the cabinet containing the CDs.
The cabinet was filled with a huge pile of CDs and some cassette tapes. Bai Jiahei stood in front of the CDs and looked at them. He found that each CD had its own label, and most of these labels were names. There was nothing else, which left Bai Jiahei completely puzzled.
Bai Jiahei quickly glanced at the labels of these names.
Missouri.
—Iowa.
—Veneto.
——Changchun.
——Fukami Yamato.
—Nanxing.
——Super Yamato.
——…
What is this?
Bai Jiahei looked bewildered.
Chapter 3748 I, Bai Jiahei, am not to be trifled with either.
Although Bai Jiahei wasn't wearing any clothes, the room was warm enough and the humidity was just right, so she didn't feel too cold or uncomfortable for the time being.
Bai Jiahei rubbed one shoulder, subconsciously crossed his arms, and looked around at his surroundings with a suspicious expression.
So... it was that black card that teleported me here?
Could this room be a hidden reward for me?
What kind of place is this?
The room where Bai Jiahei was located, judging from its layout and decoration style, was probably someone's bedroom. It was not large, only a few dozen square meters, but the room was fully furnished with all kinds of furniture, such as a TV, refrigerator, bed, and sofa. Moreover, all the furniture was exquisite and modern in design.
Although the room's color scheme leans slightly towards cool tones, the arrangement of small household items, as well as the distance and angle between furniture, all contribute to a sense of home and familiarity, suggesting that the room's owner uses the room frequently.
However... there is one puzzling thing about this room.
That is, there is no "door" in this room.
Yes, Bai Jiahei stood there, looking left and right for a long time, but couldn't find the door on the wall of the room.
Bai Jiahei even tried running up to the wall and punching it with her fists, but the wall, though seemingly ordinary, was as hard as a thick steel plate. Even with all her strength, Bai Jiahei couldn't budge the wall, let alone make a sound when she punched it.
In the end, Bai Jiahei could only rub his slightly red and painful wrists and return to his original position.
"Oh no... Could it be some kind of treasure chest trap...?"
Bai Jiahei muttered softly.
Being in a cramped space made Bai Jiahei, who was used to running freely on the boundless grasslands, feel a sense of constraint and lack of freedom.
Bai Jiahei rubbed his shoulders and looked away.
The rest of the bedroom was nothing special, except for its exceptionally sturdy construction. In the end, it was just an ordinary bedroom with exquisite decorations. But this bright, enormous iron cabinet, filled with a huge pile of cassette tapes and CDs, had a slightly unusual air about it.
—If this is a treasure chest trap in the game, perhaps this collection cabinet is the opportunity for me to escape?
Bai Jiahei pondered this, then refocused his gaze on the large collection cabinet in front of him.
This display case is indeed very large.
Almost half of the bedroom's space is occupied by this collection cabinet, which is the main reason why Bai Jiahei feels cramped in this small room.
Bai Jiahei walked back to the large display case and began to carefully examine the object in front of him. The display case was exceptionally tall and wide. Its outer shell was made of a strange black metal, while the rest of the middle part was completely transparent glass. Although there were handles on the surface of the glass that could be pulled open, when Bai Jiahei tried to use them, he found that the handles on the glass seemed to be integrated with the surrounding space and did not move at all.
Bai Jiahei wasn't too surprised by this phenomenon. She lowered her hand and continued to examine the collection cabinet.
Inside the cabinet are hundreds of small compartments for storing items. Each compartment can hold just ten beautifully bound CDs or cassettes, and each compartment has a nameplate labeled with its contents.
Bai Jiahei's gaze lowered slightly, focusing on the nameplates beneath these display cases.
Bai Jiahei had just looked at these name tags. The things written on these tags seemed to be people's names, but Bai Jiahei didn't know the meaning of these names, so he didn't observe or count them too carefully at the time.
Since Bai Jiahei couldn't do anything else anyway, she simply started seriously counting the number of CDs and tapes represented by those name tags...
The CDs and tapes were arranged very carefully, with each compartment filled with exactly ten, making it easy to count them day and night. She reached out and tapped the glass to count the number of CDs.
—Missouri's CDs and tapes totaled eighty-seven, among which one CD, numbered 001, had a packaging that was noticeably different from the others; it was shiny and particularly eye-catching.
—Iowa's CDs consist of six discs.
—Seventeen Veneto cards, forty-one Changchun cards, forty-seven super-large cards, eight Deep Sea Akagi cards, eleven Nanxing cards…
When Baijiahei finally finished counting, he was shocked by the remaining name tags.
Finally, this set of CDs and tapes called "Deep Sea Yamato"... there are over a hundred of them! They fill more than ten storage compartments, that's way too many!
Looking at the CDs in the cabinet, Bai Jiahei suddenly had a feeling that the contents of these CDs might be the key to her escape from this room.
So... how do you view the contents of these CDs?
Bai Jiahei looked around and sure enough, he found an old-fashioned CD player on the sofa not far away. Next to the player was a small monitor, so it seemed that they had the tools to read CDs.
Next, we took the CD out...
Thinking of this, Bai Jiahei reached out and grabbed the handle on the glass panel, using all her strength to open the door.
As expected, the cabinet doors were tightly shut. Bai Jiahei, his face flushed from holding his breath, collapsed to the floor, panting, his eyes wide as he stared at the CDs inside the glass door.
"What...what is this thing...how can it be so hard...I can't open it...I can't open it..."
Bai Jiahei got up and angrily kicked the display case.
Boom!
The cabinet was unharmed, but Bai Jiahe's feet were instantly covered in red marks.
"Ouch!"
Bai Jiahei immediately fell to the ground again, clutching her right foot, rubbing her toes, and rolling around on the ground.
"I forgot I wasn't wearing shoes... Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Bai Jiahei curled up on the ground, her black hair lying messily. After a violent roll, she seemed to have completely exhausted all her energy, and silently spread her limbs, lying on the ground in a starfish shape without any dreams.
"Sigh... So be it... It's my fate, Bai's destiny, to end up like this in this life..."
The sound of white plus black is weathered and lingering.
then.
At this peculiar moment, a crisp "click" sound of a door opening suddenly rang out from inside the room.
Upon hearing the door open, Bai Jiahei sat up abruptly, staring wide-eyed at the wall in astonishment.
According to Bai Jiahei's assessment, the sound of the door opening just now seemed to have come from that wall.
And that was exactly what happened. Under the watchful eyes of Bai Jiahei, a black door suddenly appeared on the wall, which should have been smooth and white and completely bare, with a crisp click!
The door was slowly pushed open under the shocked gaze of Bai Jiahei.
Then, a tall, slender woman with a cold and indifferent expression and black hair walked into the room carrying a brand-new, sealed disc.
The black-haired woman entered the room, tucked the packaged disc under her forearm at her waist, and walked toward the display case. Just as she approached the display case, she glanced at the naked man sitting on the floor, staring blankly at his white and black clothes like a roly-poly toy.
The black-haired woman stood still.
The black-haired woman stood still and stared at Bai Jiahei for a few seconds, her deep, dark pupils showing no emotion.
After a while, the black-haired woman acted as if she hadn't seen Bai Jiahei at all. She walked to the display case and gently pulled the handle on the glass door with her index and middle fingers.
wow-
The glass cabinet door, which Bai Jiahei considered sturdy and heavy like some kind of locked mechanism, was opened so easily by the two fingers of the black-haired woman in front of him.
The black-haired woman placed the latest CD into "Nanxing's" collection cabinet, then gently closed the cabinet door and turned to look at Bai Jiahei sitting on the ground.
