Chapter 496 Hidden Plot

At 7 o'clock in the evening, night falls, and the nightlife at the Magic Academy officially begins.

After dinner, most of the elves and orcs returned to the staff dormitory to take a nice hot bath, chat, eat snacks, sleep together, watch TV shows, and enjoy a happy after-get off work life.

Werewolves, vampires, witches, and other dark creatures that theoretically should be nocturnal, as well as a small number of daytime NPCs who are assigned to the evening shift on the first official day of work, put on make-up, eat something, and sadly start visiting tourists. Destined to be a pleasant late shift.

In the staff dormitory, Yue, who had taken off her makeup and gorgeous clothes and transformed from a radiant elf with buffs turned on to a beautiful beauty as before, was lying on the bed, applying a facial mask and watching TV dramas. She was watching the show with great enthusiasm. The door to the dormitory was half-opened. He was pushed away by Susie, the lamb orc NPC in the dormitory next door.

"Yue, I heard that Assistant Teacher Wang had a fortune telling today. Do you know which lucky visitor the fortune is for?" Susie still had the goat's horns on her head. She was wearing pink pajamas with short goat's horns. From a distance, she looked like a An emaciated and mutated little pink pig.

Yue raised her head, glanced sideways at Susie, and replied: "I know, count three."

"The first one is a male tourist who is wiping the handrail of the stairs on the third floor. The male tourist has been taking the exam for two years and wants to know if he will have a chance next year and whether he should continue to persevere."

"Assistant Coach Wang advised him to work hard for another year. If there is no good news before August next year, it is best to consider other options. After all, he and his girlfriend have been dating for so many years and are about to get married, but he has not There is no guarantee for a girl from a formal working family."

"Wow, Assistant Coach Wang is so kind, so considerate of his fiancée." Susie sighed, "What about the second one?"

"The second one is the first tourist who bought "100 Omens of Crystal Ball Divination" in the souvenir shop. She is a young girl. The girl has been unemployed since she lost her job a year ago. She found several jobs but found it unsatisfactory. I don’t want to do it after two days.”

"Because she hasn't had a job for more than a year, that girl's savings have almost been exhausted. Now she wants to do live broadcasting, but her family doesn't support it, so she asked Assistant Professor Wang to find a career and wanted to know if she can have a good future by doing live broadcasting. .”

"What did Assistant Teacher Wang say?" Susie was extremely curious.

"Assistant Teacher Wang asked her to find a class to make some money first. If she doesn't find a class to hang out like this, her fortune will be almost zero. Assistant Teacher Wang also advised her to listen to the opinions of people around her, especially her parents. If she really wants to do something The live broadcast can wait until you find a class, and then become the anchor after get off work."

"It is said that Assistant Professor Wang persuaded her for a long time at the door of the souvenir shop, and he left with peace of mind after watching the girl submit her resume on the recruitment software."

"Wow, Assistant Coach Wang is so responsible and has the character of a master." Susie's face was full of admiration, "What about the third one?"

"The third one..." Yue smiled awkwardly, took off the mask, put it on her neck and applied it, then sat up cross-legged and faced Susie.

"The third tourist was the first one to walk out of Teacher Jiang Cha's wood magic class. She was a middle-aged woman. When Assistant Professor Wang was doing calculations for her, I happened to see her on the side. What this tourist wanted to calculate was hers. Fund trends.”

Suzy:?

"Assistant Teacher Wang, forget it?" Susie said that her eyes were really opened. It turns out that the fortune teller can also predict the trend of funds.

So by the same reasoning, can a fortune teller calculate stocks, lottery tickets, house prices, and futures?

"No." Yue said, "Master Wang said he doesn't understand funds. He is just an Eastern fortune teller who came to the Incredible Magic Academy to communicate. It doesn't count."

"The lady heard that Assistant Coach Wang said that he couldn't count and found it boring, so she curled her lips and left."

Susie thought for a while and continued to praise: "Assistant Professor Wang is really principled, thumbs up!"

moon:……

You can't just mindlessly worship Assistant Teacher Wang just because he helped you figure out that your cheating ex-boyfriend will not end well in the future and will not be able to keep any money in the past few years.

Although Assistant Professor Wang’s calculation is indeed quite accurate.

"By the way, where is your roommate? Where's Ruru? I remember she didn't work the night shift today. Did she go to the amusement park to play?" Susie asked.

Yue shook her head, her voice full of sympathy: "Her hidden plot was triggered, so she will work overtime tonight."

At this moment, Ruru, a raccoon and half-orc who is working overtime tonight, is serving as the backdrop.

Regarding the hidden plots of NPCs, neither Principal Peggy nor Jiang Qi thought that these hidden plots would be triggered on the first day.

On the first day, the players did not have any chance to check the guide online beforehand. The teacher relied on Principal Peggy’s introduction at the opening ceremony. The classmates did not recognize them all, and the school did not understand them at all. In this case, the possibility of triggering a hidden plot is almost zero.

The hidden missions and hidden plots that the players thought were triggered were all made up in their minds. The only person who could barely be considered as triggering the hidden plots was the lucky player who was invited by Principal Peggy to the principal's office for afternoon tea.

Not only did I get a free afternoon tea, I also received a discount coupon.

This was just an impromptu idea from Principal Peggy. After all, she is the principal and she has privileges.

The real hidden plot is difficult to trigger.

These hidden plots themselves do not have particularly generous rewards. They are more like easter eggs in the game, which add surprises when triggered, but do not affect the gameplay of the game if not triggered.

Just like the Easter eggs in the game, it is often difficult for players to find the Easter eggs when they play the game for the first time. The discovery of Easter eggs usually occurs in the second, third or even dozen of brushes.

The same is true for the hidden plot of the Magic Academy. Visitors who enter the Magic Academy for the first time are too busy attending classes, exploring the castle, and shopping. How can they have the time and opportunity to chat and interact with NPCs to trigger the hidden plot.

Most of the hidden plots are related to the characters of NPCs, such as Lillian. As a school director, Lillian’s hidden plot is very well-planned and is a series of tasks.

First of all, players need to be curious about why Lillian is so poor. Lillian being poor is a fact that every player knows. After all, it was filmed in the promotional video. With such a high number of views, it is impossible for players who come to the school to play without watching the promotional video.

In the first stage, players need to obtain several key props:

1. Experience Lillian’s fire magic class in the front row. After witnessing the explosion, go to the podium after class to find the explosion fragments.

2. Gained Jiang Cha's love in Jiang Cha's wood magic class, and was invited into her office by Jiang Cha. It was discovered that Jiang Cha was actually the treasurer of the Incredible Magic Academy. Request through chat or explore to find Lillian's salary schedule and the specific amount of her debt.

3. Gain the favor of Principal Peggy, be invited into the principal's office, and find Lillian's list of compensation due in the principal's office.

After the above three conditions are completed, players only need to obtain three corresponding props and find Lilian to start the second phase of the mission.

The task in the second stage is to help Lillian work and pay off her debts.

After the opening of Phase 2, this mission will be open to all players. A limited scene bulletin board will be added to the auditorium. Daily work tasks will be posted on the bulletin board. Players can collect them at will, accumulate points by completing the tasks, and exchange the points for small gifts.

After the second phase is completed, the third phase will begin, which is also the final phase of Lilian's mission: to find out the truth about Lilian's frequent explosions and huge debts.

The tasks at this stage are more complex and involve many scenes. Players need to attack Lillian, Teacher Zero, Principal Peggy and the elusive Jiang Qi in sequence, explore all the teachers’ offices, collect props, and unlock all of Lillian’s plot.

At the same time, the third phase will involve a little bit of Teacher Zero’s hidden plot. It is discovered that Teacher Zero is Lillian’s mentor and the former director of the Incredible Magic Academy. All the shares in Lilian’s hands were left by Teacher Zero after his death. her. Let the players feel Lillian's prodigality and the earth-shattering relationship between master and apprentice.

Of course, the ultimate goal of the third stage is for players to discover that Teacher Zero and Lilian are actually excellent time magicians, thus triggering a major update of the Incredible Magic Academy - a new course, Time Magic Class! (Note ①)

Of course, some people may find it strange at this time. Wasn't the setting that Lilian is a time magician already made public in Snow Village?

This is true. Jiang Qi and Principal Peggy also believe that many tourists will remember the setting of Lilian.

But in Lillian's three-stage hidden plot, players will not think of this so early. Even if I think about it in the end, I don't think that the identity of the Time Magician is the final result of Lilian's hidden plot.

Not to mention that Jiang Qi and Principal Peggy can control the progress of Lillian’s hidden plot. Let’s just talk about the second stage.

How much money Lilian owes, and how much money Lilian can repay each time the players complete a part-time job task, isn't this all decided by Jiang Qi and Principal Peggy?

The time magic class is on the fifth floor.

The Academy of Incredible Magic cannot be unlocked on the 5th floor unless it reaches two stars. If the fifth floor is not unlocked, the time magic class cannot be started. The time magic class cannot be started, so Lillian's hidden plot is destined to be stuck.

It can be seen from Lillian's hidden plot that some hidden plots are destined to be impossible to complete on the first day.

Of course, this does not mean that Jiang Qi and Principal Peggy are so evil that they make it impossible to complete all the hidden plots at once, forcing players to stay or play twice.

Most of the hidden plot requirements are not too high.

The student's hidden plot is easier to complete than the teacher's.

As long as the player consciously communicates with the student, understands his racial preferences and personality, and adds a little bit of luck, the hidden plot of the student can be solved in one go.

Of course, accommodation visitors have a much higher chance of completion than non-accommodation visitors, and more than half of the hidden plots are set at night.

There is no way, all the money is spent to stay in 2888 alone. You have to give the person who spends some extra money, otherwise how can you highlight the preciousness of 2888?

Ru Ru's hidden plot is the kind that is easier to trigger.

It's just that the triggering of her hidden plot is different from what everyone imagined.

Ru Ru is set as a weak but cute raccoon orc, and most of her colleagues affectionately call her Gan Noodles.

Anyone who knows a little bit about raccoons knows that the name raccoon comes from because raccoons wash their food in water before eating.

According to the raccoon's habits, Ruru's setting is to only eat food with soup, and not eat anything without soup.

Fish soup is Ruru’s favorite.

As for Ruru's character, she has severe difficulty in making choices.

The types of meals provided in the auditorium of the Mysterious Magic Academy and the goblin cafeteria on the third floor are enough to drive a person with severe choice difficulty crazy.

To trigger Ruru's hidden plot, you only need to meet three conditions:

1. I have spoken to Ruru, know her name, and have attended the same class as her.

2. Take the initiative to help Ruru choose dishes when she eats. Be sure to choose fish soup, and there should be no other food without soup.

3. Visiting students must stay in the school for one night, because the hidden plot of Ru Ru is triggered after dinner.

If the above three conditions are met, the hidden plot will be automatically triggered.

To be fair, as long as the visiting students know enough about Ruru's character, it is not difficult to trigger her hidden plot.

But what makes Ru Ru stunned now is that she feels that her hidden plot has been triggered, not because the visiting student knows her well enough, nor because the visiting student has discovered something else.

It was entirely because these two visiting students were damn lucky.

Dog European Emperor!

The two dog European emperors did not know that they had triggered a hidden plot. Zhou Yuan and Li Meng were still working hard on the live broadcast.

Different from the previous live broadcast with a black screen in the art gallery challenge, Zhou Yuan and Li Meng paid for their live broadcast this time.

When collecting money, you have to be professional.

Therefore, during the live broadcast between the two of them, Li Meng held the mobile phone as the commentator and photographer, and Zhou Yuan acted as the main anchor, filming and broadcasting one by one.

The popularity of their live broadcasts is not very high, and they are even at the bottom among this group of anchors who have also received commercial orders.

There is no way, Zhou Yuan is just a part-time anchor who became a monk halfway. Li Meng was originally a professional, but he didn't become famous.

The popularity last time was entirely due to luck, but now the results of serious live broadcasts are far less effective than those of professional anchors.

Jiang Qi didn't expect these two to be very effective. The wages of these two half-hearted people may not be as high as those of other professional anchors.

You get what you pay for, and there is a reason why Zhou Yuan and Li Meng are cheap.

"What did the anchor have for dinner just now? Yuanyuan had the special meal set A for visiting students, and I had the special meal set B for visiting students. Each portion is 39 yuan, one dish, one soup and one staple food."

"Taste? It tastes quite good, especially the soup. It's sweet and sour and delicious. Yuanyuan, what do you think?" Li Meng took the initiative to cue Zhou Yuan with his mobile phone.

"Ah?" Zhou Yuan, who was poking at the pattern on the wall carefully to see if she could find any mechanism, was stunned and nodded subconsciously, "It's delicious, delicious and cheap."

Li Meng continued to read the barrage: "Anchors, your food is so shabby... Hahaha, there is no way. We two young anchors are short of money and can't bear to eat expensive food. It's good to eat cheap food."

"The fairy next door eats the elf set meal from 888..."

"Wow." Li Meng couldn't hold it back and said wow.

"Wow." Zhou Yuan also agreed, "So rich! I want to eat too!"

Ruru on the side:......

Aren’t you two anchors? Aren’t all the anchors who came to the amusement park today taking business orders? The only ones who have been able to stay till now are the anchors besides the related ones. What’s going on with you two?

Why do you look like someone who sneaked in?

There is an NPC as big as me here, don't you two think you should chat with me?

If only other anchors would have rushed up to chat with me!

If you two don't chat, how can I reveal my personality? If I don’t reveal my character, how will I lead you into the hidden plot later?

Ruru complained ten thousand words in her heart, but in the end she could only take a deep breath and show a sweet smile. Taking advantage of her baby face and cuteness, she could pretend to be cute no matter how she wanted to, and said sweetly: "Two A beautiful sister, thank you just now for helping me choose dishes."

Zhou Yuan smiled sheepishly and said: "It's a small thing. If you sat at the same table with us at the opening ceremony this morning and recommended us to take Teacher Lilian's fire magic class, we have to thank you."

"By the way, did you go to Teacher Lillian's fire magic class today? It's really cool. A fireball burned in Lillian's hand. Throw the fireball into the box, and the box exploded with a bang. Oh, it scared me! I was worried about whether Teacher Lillian would be injured, but it turned out that Teacher Lillian was fine and turned into a flame again."

Ru Ru: "...I'll sit behind you."

How did these two European emperors accidentally collide and complete the hidden plot!

Ruru could only bite the bullet and continue the conversation: "Teacher Lilian's class has always been like this. It would be strange if it stopped exploding one day."

"By the way, sister Yuanyuan, how do you know that I like to drink fish soup?"

"Ah, do you like fish soup?" Zhou Yuan looked surprised, "I just saw that the name of the fish soup on the menu is very long, and the price is not very expensive. It should be high-quality and low-priced, so I I recommend the dish you ordered.”

"Actually, I also want to ask you, do you orcs also want to lose weight? I see that you only drank a bowl of soup at night and did not order any staple food. Do you want to give up carbs at night?"

Such as:……

Ru Ru: "Actually, I only drink soup. I am a raccoon orc. People of our tribe only drink soup and do not eat food without soup."

"That's it." Li Meng suddenly realized, "Then your clan's tastes are quite strange."

Li Meng glanced at the live broadcast room where the number of people increased significantly, and continued: "Ruru, can you tell us about your clan?"

"Of course." Ru Ru smiled and nodded. Not only did she smile brightly, she also found a good angle for herself so that Li Meng could take pictures. "The auditorium is also open at night. How about we go to the auditorium and sit and chat."

"Okay, okay!" Zhou Yuan agreed immediately.

Li Meng followed behind and filmed conscientiously, while reading the barrage to Zhou Yuan.

"If Ru Ru took the initiative to talk to the anchors, did the anchors trigger a hidden mission?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yuan turned around and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Weren't all those who triggered the hidden mission this morning taken away immediately? One was taken to the kitchen to wash dishes, one was taken to the principal's office for afternoon tea, and one was taken to the crystal Ball divination class and fortune telling, those are the hidden tasks."

"Ruru may just want to chat. There are so few visiting students in the school now, only 80 of them are left. Many visiting students are not willing to chat with NPCs now, because there is a night tour or something in the evening. Everyone Let’s all explore the castle to see if there are any secret passages or anything like that.”

"It's definitely not a hidden mission."

Li Meng continued to read the barrage: "Hahaha, what the anchor said makes sense. Anyway, I watched several live broadcast rooms at once, and other anchors went to explore the castle. You anchors can't explore the castle, so you just chat with the NPCs."

"Yes, I think so too." Zhou Yuan nodded, "We are not good at exploring mechanisms and hidden tasks at all, so it is better to chat."

Ruru walking in front:...
