Chapter 3681 Three Rumors
A few minutes ago, outside the Modern City dungeon.
In the live broadcast, Geralt was talking about where the fashion monsters usually were.
"Hidden in a hidden space?" Hearing this, Angel's eyes were full of doubt.
Under the observation of the God's perspective, there is no blind spot in the Modern City, and everything is visible.
Even if the fashion monsters are hidden in a hidden space that cannot be seen from the God's perspective, such as a space similar to the "world", the "world" must have an entrance to the "surface world".
However, Angel roughly scanned every inch of the Modern City, not only did he not find any entrance to the fashion monsters, he did not even see any traces of the fashion monsters.
Therefore, Angel was somewhat skeptical about this statement.
And then, Geralt's other statement made Angel pause.
"Fashion monsters are hidden in people's hearts?" Angel narrowed his eyes: "This statement... is quite interesting."
Angel can indeed see every plant and tree in the box garden copy from a God's perspective, but there is one thing he can't see through, that is... the human heart.
He may be able to perceive someone's emotions through super perception, but there is a long distance between emotions and thoughts. He can't see through other people's thoughts, so he can't see through the human heart.
If fashion monsters are really hidden in the hearts of NPCs, then he really can't detect it.
Angel raised his vision, and the live broadcast screen showed a bird's-eye view of the prosperous modern city... neon flashing, bright lights, men and women.
They each do their own thing, and each NPC has his own life trajectory and logic of doing things.
In a city with obvious classes and a society controlled by fashion, it is normal for such a multitude of people to breed darkness.
I just don't know, who will hide the fashion monster in their heart?
As a spectator, Angel was originally just curious about this copy, but at this moment, he had a bit of interest in exploring this fairyland copy.
If the combination of real fantasy and nightmare fantasy, will the fashion monster hidden in people's hearts be aroused?
He really wants to give it a try.
...
The perspective returns to Gleipnir.
Although the road conditions in the North 9th District are complicated, after more than 20 minutes of searching, they still successfully arrived at the location of Prada Media.
This is an obvious low-rise housing area.
Compared with the surrounding magical buildings and floating corridors, this is not much different from the slums.
But even so, the people living in this area are still competing for beauty in their clothes. It seems that the fashion icon has been engraved in their bones.
However, although the clothes are still fashionable, the materials are obviously different from other places.
In other areas, silk and velvet, as well as top-layer leather, are the most common, but this is more offset printing, lychee leather, and various fancy polka dot metals.
The material wins and loses depends on personal aesthetics.
But there is no doubt that the people in this area are dressed more "shinier", and this "shininess" comes from the reflection of smooth leather.
Especially near the territory of Prada Media, this "shininess" style is more obvious.
Soon, they saw the building of Prada Media.
As expected, the building looks exactly like the crystal medium outside the copy.
A slightly old four-story small building.
Not only is it different from the completely empty ruins-style building of Crystal Media, but the building at this moment is a bit old, but it is still very fashionable at first glance with the neon signs, various ribbons, and glowing flashing billboards on the outside.
When they came to the campus of Prada Media, a group of people dressed extremely exaggeratedly came out of the building.
Seeing this, Gleipnir and Starworm immediately remembered what Geralt said before.
With such exaggerated dress, these people may be fashion magicians?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Gleipnir and Starworm subconsciously moved to the side to avoid contact with them.
However, these people themselves did not care about Gleipnir and Starworm, but left on their own. His expression was very sad, and he said some emotional words.
Gleipnir faintly heard: "This beauty pageant has become a sex show. Alas, this was once one of the three major events."
"Be quiet, be careful of the walls. Remember, it is two major events."
"I'm not afraid. In my opinion, the Dark Competition is also an excellent event, and it is definitely not worse than the Fashion Show. Moreover, now that the beauty show is declining, the Dark Competition can completely replace the beauty show and become the new two major events."
"You are really outspoken. I warn you, don't say you know me outside..."
The voice faded away.
Gleipnir recalled their words, and always felt that they were foreshadowing something.
Without thinking too much, Gleipnir and Starworm walked into the building.
The moment they stepped into the building, a fairyland prompt popped up that the mission was completed.
"Special Dream "Prada Beauty Show" Main Mission 1 (Completed)"
"Mission Reward: Three Rumors."
"Rumor 1: In the lake corridor of the Sona District, people have heard curses every midnight recently. The closer to the center of the corridor, the louder the curses."
"Rumor 2: A ghost face appeared on the wall graffiti on the 30th floor of Longchi North Building. Maybe it's someone's prank?"
"Rumor 3: There is an old man who always dozes off in the security department on the first floor of Prada Media Company. What secrets might he have?"
Gleipnir and Starworm were both confused when they saw the rewards.
Didn't they say that the rewards for completing the main quests are all kinds of props, skills, and pets? Why did they only get three rumors?
What's the point of giving them three rumors?
Gleipnir looked at the three rumors carefully, and finally fixed his eyes on rumor 3.
No one knew where the other two rumors took place; but rumor 3 was on the first floor of their building, which is... here.
Gleipnir turned his head and looked at a door on the right.
There was a plaque with "Security Department" written on it above the door, and a transparent glass window next to the door.
Gleipnir approached and saw two people in security uniforms through the glass window.
One of the security guards was a young man of seventeen or eighteen, who was concentrating on drawing fashion designs and didn't seem to care about anything else. The other security guard was an old man, sleeping soundly on the red beech table.
There is no doubt that these two security guards did not play the role of security guards at all, but it is not important.
According to the fairyland hint, the dozing old man should be the person who is rumored to be "hiding a secret".
However, even if we know that he has a secret, how can we trigger it?
When Gleipnir frowned and thought, the starworm that followed him suddenly said: "I think I understand."
Gleipnir looked at the starworm in surprise.
The starworm did not say anything, but pointed to a file on the red beech table, indicating Gleipnir to look at it.
Gleipnir looked at it and saw a name on the file - Kaushik.
Just when she learned this name, the fairyland hint also appeared in front of her.
"Kaushik"
"Kaushik wandered here five years ago. He was taken in by the boss of Prada Media Company because he looked like an old friend of the boss. Although Kaushik was often lazy at work, he had a very good personality and was very popular with everyone. He was also very knowledgeable and would always give some advice to the newcomers. But when he mentioned his past, he immediately kept silent. Perhaps he had some unknown secrets."
"Contacting Kaushik may trigger the side quest "Time is a circle.""
After reading Kaushik's introduction, Gleipnir seemed to understand something.
The so-called "rumor reward" is actually an intelligence reward.
If it weren't for this information, perhaps they would not know that the old man working in the security department had a side quest.
And if you want to pass this dungeon perfectly, the side quest is definitely the top priority.
However, for Gleipnir and Starworm, the reference value of this information is not too high. Because they themselves had not thought about going through this dungeon perfectly, even if they knew that Kaushik had a side quest, they had no time to complete the quest.
Moreover, if they wanted to accept this quest, they had to brush up their recognition.
So... forget it.
Although Gleipnir did not intend to contact Kaushik, she could not help but glance at the security office.
Every time the NPC information introduction was triggered, it was when she knew the other party's name.
And there were two security guards in the security office. Perhaps the other young security guard who was studying hard also had his own story?
Soon, Gleipnir saw a folder with his name information engraved next to the young security guard.
Alan Bernu.
This was the name of the young security guard.
However, when Gleipnir saw this name, she did not feel any fairyland information feedback.
Gleipnir immediately understood.
It seems that not all NPC information will have fairyland prompts. Only those with
important information, such as Geralt and Kaushik who have side quests, will have corresponding information prompts.
For challengers who are willing to pass perfectly, this is quite humane, and they can read less redundant information.
Gleipnir shook his head and left the security office.
At present, the three rumors are likely to correspond to three pieces of intelligence.
Among them, rumor three represents a side quest.
Then rumor one and rumor two... don't seem to involve people directly? Could it be that these two rumors are related to fashion monsters?
If so, does it mean that they can trigger random tasks and get fashion monster fragments by going to the locations of rumor one and rumor two?
Gleipnir is actually quite interested in fashion magic. If she has time, she really doesn't mind going over to take a look.
But unfortunately, things in the outside world are too busy and more urgent, and she has no time to challenge this dungeon.
…
"By the way, why didn't the follow-up tasks trigger after the main task was completed?" Gleipnir was a little confused.
It's not that she wants to continue to complete the task, but if she doesn't trigger the main task and doesn't actively cause the task to fail, it will be difficult for her to leave this dungeon.
Although the specific reason is unknown, based on the hint of the main task one, it is not difficult to guess that the main task two is most likely waiting for them in this building.
"So..."
"Let's search separately." Gleipnir looked at the starworm, "Let's go around the building separately to see where we can trigger the main task two."
The starworm thought about it and nodded: "Then I'll go to the third and fourth floors."
Gleipnir nodded: "Okay, I'll look around the first and second floors."
After the two of them searched separately, Gleipnir began to wander around the corridor on the first floor.
This building doesn't look big from the outside, but the interior is a corridor-type, with a large space and many rooms...
Gleipnir wandered around for a few minutes and met some people working here, but still did not trigger the main task 2.
However, through observation and shallow communication, Gleipnir already knew that all the rooms on the first floor seemed to have nothing to do with Prada Media Company.
He saw "dye workshop", "custom leather merchant", "gallery" here, but nothing related to the media company.
After thinking about it, Gleipnir went to the second floor again.
However, the second floor was the same as the first floor, with various private workshops and even private houses, but no media company.
Gleipnir sighed and decided to seek help off-site.
Soon, Angel's voice came in.
"I just took a quick look, and it seems that Prada Media has rented out the first three floors. They only have half of the fourth floor left now."
"On the left side of the fourth floor is Prada Media. On the right side is a law firm."
"If the main task 2 is in this building, then it is most likely on the left side of the fourth floor."
Gleipnir naturally believed in Angel's judgment, and did not continue to search the second floor, but climbed to the fourth floor.
At the corner of the stairs on the third floor, Gleipnir met the starworm who had searched the third floor and found nothing.
"I just asked, and Prada Media seems to have financial problems and has rented out the first three floors. If nothing unexpected happens, we want to trigger the next main task, so we have to go to the fourth floor."
After explaining, the two of them went up to the fourth floor.
When they arrived on the fourth floor, they looked around a little and saw the sign of Prada Media.
Before entering the company's gate, they saw a pictorial of a recruitment notice next to the gate.
Recruitment notice: Beauty show - Bikini season
Below the announcement, a beautiful woman with a shiny body and very little fabric was blowing kisses to the people outside the picture.
The moment they saw this announcement, the long-lost fairyland hint finally lifted the veil.
"Special Dream "Prada Beauty Show" Main Quest 2 - The Eve of the Dream's Fall."
"Main Thread Summary: When you come to Prada Media Company with expectations, eager to start your dream-seeking journey here, you find that everything has changed. The original "Prada Beauty Show" was a place for civilian designers to show their excellent designs, but now it has become a "beauty show" and a "meat show". When you learned the news, your dream... was shattered."
"Main Thread Task: Please use all the methods and means you have within the limited time to convince the main planner of the beauty show to make everything right."
"Countdown: 48:00:00"
"Countdown: 47:59:59"
