Chapter 565: Unable to Understand Operations

Liu Xing just realized that it was still dark outside at the moment.

But come to think of it, if it were already bright outside, Rundell wouldn’t dare to swagger into Liu Xing’s bedroom like this, after all, this area is Tokyo comprehensive university, and there is still quite a large flow of people, so if Rundell, such a "big bird," flew into Liu Xing’s room, it would be very easy to be seen by outsiders.

If Rundell were discovered by someone, or even captured on video, then this matter would be troublesome.

So Rundell always came to find Liu Xing when it was dark.

But because it was already summer now, and it was still dark outside, it could only mean that it might not even be five o’clock in the morning yet, so Liu Xing decisively chose to close his eyes and continue his sleep.

Not knowing what time it was, Liu Xing was awakened by Ling Ishikawa.

"Leader, what kind of wine is in this wine jar? It smells quite fragrant, so no wonder you haven’t gotten up yet, Leader, it’s because you drank last night." Ling Ishikawa said with a smile.

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, only then did he realize that Rundell hadn’t taken away the jar of Golden Honey Wine, and it was still on the table in the bedroom.

But most importantly, Liu Xing couldn’t let Ling Ishikawa touch that jar of Golden Honey Wine, because as an item, once Ling Ishikawa, as a player, touched it, he would get specific information about the Golden Honey Wine, so Ling Ishikawa might discover his secret.

It’s not the time to reveal Rundell’s existence yet.

So, Liu Xing quickly came up with an idea and said to Ling Ishikawa, "Oh, this? I found it last night when I was tidying up my clothes. If I remember correctly, this jar of wine should have been brought by a friend of my father’s many years ago, so I opened it last night to take a look. I also think that this wine looks good and smells good, so I took a sip, and it turned out that the wine tasted good, and I ended up drinking too much... Okay, Ling Ishikawa, you go to the living room first, I’ll get dressed."

As Liu Xing spoke, he prepared to get up and get dressed, while Ling Ishikawa left the room.

After Ling Ishikawa left the room, Liu Xing directly attached the communicator to his right earlobe, wanting to contact Rundell to find an opportunity to take away the jar of Golden Honey Wine, after all, this Golden Honey Wine was of no use to him.

But at this moment, Liu Xing suddenly realized a problem, which was that he didn’t know how to use this communicator, and there was no mention of how to use it in the information about this communicator.

This was a bit embarrassing.

But Liu Xing still used his subjective initiative, or rather, used the operating techniques he had learned from reading some novels, to directly establish contact with the communicator using his mind.

And it actually worked.

After Liu Xing established contact with the communicator using his mind, he suddenly saw some strange characters in front of him, which should be Migo’s characters, after all, this communicator was made by Migo.

Because he couldn’t understand Migo’s characters, Liu Xing could only try to choose the first option, and it turned out that he did indeed contact Rundell.

"Hey, Ryuusei, what’s up? Why did you contact me so soon?" Rundell said with a smile.

Liu Xing shook his head and said helplessly, "Mr. Rundell, you’ve been in and out of my room twice today, did you not realize you left something behind?"

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he heard a sound of hitting coming from Rundell’s end, it seemed that Rundell had remembered.

After a moment, Rundell said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, Ryuusei, how are you feeling now? Do you feel anything wrong with your body?"

Liu Xing frowned. Since Rundell asked like this, it definitely meant that there was something wrong with that Golden Honey Wine!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately went to open the window and placed the jar of Golden Honey Wine on the windowsill.

Then, Liu Xing said angrily, "Oh, it seems like Rundell, you really wanted to kill me today, right?"

Rundell immediately smiled and said, "No, no, Ryuusei, you have to believe this was all accidental. I forgot about that jar of Golden Honey Wine today because I was in a hurry. But Ryuusei, you can rest assured, although that jar of Golden Honey Wine may have some effects on you humans, as long as you haven’t drunk it, it won’t cause permanent damage to you, nor is there a possibility of death."

Then, Rundell explained the situation of the jar of Golden Honey Wine to Liu Xing.

In simple terms, that jar of Golden Honey Wine belonged to a limited edition of the Byakhee clan and was only suitable for consumption by the Byakhee clan. If other races drank this jar of Golden Honey Wine, they would definitely experience various adverse reactions.

However, this was also very normal because Golden Honey Wine was just a generic term, and the formula for Golden Honey Wine was different for different races, especially the five most important Materials, almost every race used completely different Materials.

So for the Byakhee clan, those five precious Materials that were harmless to them could be highly poisonous to other races.

And if a human like Liu Xing drank that jar of Golden Honey Wine, he would probably be doomed...

However, if it was just due to the normal volatilization of Golden Honey Wine, the impact on Liu Xing would be relatively small, at most causing some adverse reactions, temporarily being debuffed in various ways, and would fully recover after a period of time. So Liu Xing looked at his character card and indeed, some attribute values had temporarily decreased by a few points.

In addition, because there was a Material in the Golden Honey Wine of the Byakhee clan that emitted a strange fragrance, the Golden Honey Wine of the Byakhee clan could attract many races, including humans. So Rundell was very worried that Liu Xing would be attracted by that jar of Golden Honey Wine, couldn’t help but take a sip, and then die directly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xing couldn’t help but feel a little frightened. It seemed that the secret ballot conducted by KP Bamboo Rat last night was most likely not as he had imagined, to determine whether Rundell could bring back reinforcements, but whether he himself would be tempted by that jar of Golden Honey Wine.

It seemed that he was quite lucky...

However, despite the fear, the jar of Golden Honey Wine now gave Liu Xing a bold idea, which was that he could use this jar of Golden Honey Wine to do many things, such as poisoning Thousand Face, poisoning Oyamaya, and others.

Because Golden Honey Wine was a very obscure thing for NPCs in the Cthulhu RPG Game, after all, most NPCs never traveled interstellarly, so they generally wouldn’t come into contact with Golden Honey Wine, so their understanding of Golden Honey Wine was almost zero.

Of course, trying to poison Thousand Face with Golden Honey Wine would be too difficult, after all, as long as Thousand Face wasn’t a Fool, he shouldn’t drink wine of unknown origin, so Liu Xing thought it would be better to target Oyamaya and others.

So Liu Xing felt that as long as he repackaged this Golden Honey Wine made by the Byakhee clan, disguised it as champagne of a similar color, and then found an opportunity to poison the followers of Oyamaya and others from the Deep Diving Society, not only would the success rate be very high, but it could also effectively cover up his identity... Of course, if the people of the Deep Diving Society found out that this was Golden Honey Wine made by the Byakhee clan, then the Deep Diving Society might still suspect that he poisoned Oyamaya and others.

Moreover, if worst came to worst, he and his team could use these Golden Honey Wine as throwing weapons, causing damage to enemies while also applying several temporary debuffs...

Thinking of this, Liu Xing wanted to confirm a few details with Rundell, "Rundell, how much is the lethal dose of this jar of Golden Honey Wine for humans? Are there any requirements for the container of this jar of Golden Honey Wine? And how should this jar of Golden Honey Wine be sealed?"

Facing Liu Xing’s questions, Rundell immediately answered, "According to your human measurement standards, an ordinary human who consumes one hundred milliliters of Golden Honey Wine made by our Byakhee clan, if not given professional and timely rescue, will experience fatal poisoning within five minutes, and if it’s a physically strong human, the lethal dose will increase to one hundred and fifty milliliters, with the same time frame; as for the choice of container for Golden Honey Wine, there is actually no particular requirement because the nature of these Golden Honey Wines is quite stable, and they are not corrosive, so Ryuusei, you can just take any bottle and seal it according to your human standards."

It seemed that his plan was feasible.

So after mocking Rundell a few more times, Liu Xing hung up the call with Rundell, and then took out his mobile phone to notify Honekawa Suneo to bring over some tightly sealed bottles, preferably with labels in French, after all, champagne originated from France.

Although Honekawa Suneo didn’t know why Liu Xing needed empty bottles, he still assured Liu Xing that he would deliver the empty bottles by tonight.

After finishing these tasks, Liu Xing came to the living room, where Zhang Jingxu and others had already started having breakfast.

After breakfast, Liu Xing and the others faced another question: what should they do next? Since Liu Xing and the others were still on "leave," they didn’t need to report to school. They already had a good understanding of the main quest of their module, and they just needed to wait until Friday to stop Oyamaya and the others from harming the original members of the Urban Legends Club. As for Thousand Face, they had to wait for updates from the Island Nation authorities.

Of course, Liu Xing and the others also had their additional mission — killing the Soul-Eater Demon, which depended on news from Hashi Motojun and others. Only after Hashi Motojun and his team tricked the Soul-Eater Demon into a trap would it be time for Liu Xing and the others to finish it off.

By the way, Liu Xing had already arranged for Honekawa Suneo to set up a trap. In a room with an area of thirty square meters, Honekawa Suneo had secretly installed more than thirty high-pitched speakers. These speakers were all remotely controlled and powered by individual batteries, capable of emitting noises exceeding one hundred decibels in an instant.

So after some consideration, Liu Xing and the others felt that there was only one thing they could do: go and check out Cross Lake...

Since they had nothing else to do, Liu Xing and the others set off for Tokyo Comprehensive University.

Although there was a strange heavy rain yesterday, it was summer now, so the temperature had risen to thirty degrees Celsius today. Therefore, many students who were getting ready for class came to Cross Lake to cool off.

This time, Liu Xing and the others didn’t enter the club activity room but went to the pavilion at Cross Lake to observe. After all, this would give them a better view of Cross Lake’s situation.

As soon as they entered the pavilion, Liu Xing and his group saw Hashi Motojun and others sitting in the pavilion, focusing on playing mobile games.

After exchanging glances, Zhang Jingxu stepped forward and said, "Good morning, Hashi Motojun. What are you guys playing?"

Hashi Motojun looked up and smiled, saying, "Speak of the devil, and he appears. We were just discussing whether to contact you guys."

At this point, Liu Xing finally saw that Hashi Motojun and the others seemed to be playing an online mahjong game.

Of course, since Hashi Motojun said so, this mahjong game should not be simple.

Sure enough, Hashi Motojun didn’t beat around the bush and directly told Liu Xing and the others that earlier this morning, the mobile game that Thousand Face used to release missions suddenly popped up an update notification. After they clicked "confirm," the mahjong mobile game they were playing now replaced the previous one.

So Hashi Motojun and the others believed that this mahjong mobile game should be the new game released by Thousand Face, and this game should have a "hidden world" just like the previous one. After all, from their current gaming experience, this mahjong mobile game didn’t seem any different from other mahjong games on the market...

So Hashi Motojun and the others were now completing the new player mission of this mahjong mobile game. They wanted to contact Liu Xing and the others after entering the "hidden world" of this mahjong mobile game.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xing was quite surprised. He hadn’t expected that Thousand Face would actually come up with a new mobile game. Wasn’t that seeking death?

As long as Thousand Face had a bit of sense, it should know that the Island Nation authorities already knew that it was using the mobile game platform to send missions to players to achieve its goals. So Thousand Face should be able to guess that the Island Nation authorities had probably obtained a lot of mobile phones with the previous game installed. And now, pushing out a new game, the Island Nation authorities were likely to have found out.

So why did Thousand Face do this? Wasn’t it afraid that the Island Nation authorities would follow the trail and track its location through this new game?

Thousand Face’s actions were really incomprehensible.
