Chapter 159 Successful Promotion

Countless stars twinkle in the dark sky like a curtain. Google search reading

On the night of August 19, the game world of Endless Sea, the seventh game cycle.

Li Feng glanced at the brass clock on the table, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

In half an hour, he and Xia can enter the second floor of the Sad Theater.

As for the Tide Scepter and the sea market that he heard about in the chat channel this afternoon, Li Feng has decided not to think about it.

Although he accidentally boarded the new island that appeared in the storm and was suspected to be related to the sea market.

But in addition to the box of goods from the Wind's Rest Castle, Li Feng did not take away the voodoo doll that looked very unlucky and the white candle with an everlasting flame.

Now think about it, fortunately I didn't move those things, otherwise I don't know what they would be related to.

After locking the doors and windows, and drawing the curtains to isolate the night outside, Li Feng returned to the bed and lay down, and then opened the task panel.

He now has three tasks.

The first one is the player's cycle promotion task.

Within eight game cycles, a player must be promoted to the third level.

At the moment, because he can upgrade with the help of the Sad Theater, Li Feng is no longer worried about this task.

When he passes the remaining six floors of the theater, he can be promoted all the way to the second level and the ninth level.

At that time, he will only be one level away from the third level, and there is still a lot of time left.

So Li Feng expects that for the first task, he will not only complete it, but also complete it ahead of schedule.

As for the second task.

The second task is a personal task rewarded to him by the system:

[Hunter promotion task: Investigate the gargoyles and kill the mother of the gargoyles. ]

[Task prompt: Wind's Rest Castle]

[Task reward: Promote one more level to the original hunter level. ]

[Current task progress: 22%]

This is a task with equal rewards and difficulty.

Directly promoting a level to the hunter is indeed very tempting.

But the task difficulty is also very high.

Even though Li Feng's task progress has reached 22% now, he still hasn't figured out the ins and outs of the gargoyles.

Moreover, according to his current investigation, Storm's End Castle is collecting gargoyle heads.

And inexplicably, a box of gargoyle heads that should have been transported to Storm's End Castle appeared on the new island suspected to be related to the sea city.

Involving two forces made Li Feng feel that this matter was difficult to handle.

Not only did he need to plan for the long term, but he also had to proceed step by step.

Turning his attention to the third task, this last task was to trigger the task.

[Replace the Governor of Storm Island, Ponros Fell, and become the actual controller of Storm Island. ]

[Task reward: Fishing on your Storm Island, you will get the fragments of the Creator and a copy of the truth of the world. ]

Thinking about what happened in the past few days, Li Feng always felt that Ponros Fell must be related to the gargoyles in Task 2, and must also be related to the Sad Theater.

Thinking of the Sad Theater, Li Feng couldn't help but look at the desk again.

The prop cinnabar cup obtained from the first floor of the Sad Theater and the pink ribbon obtained by fishing the cinnabar cup were still quietly placed there.

"If you like corpses, you should be interested in my stepdaughter."

A story segment is staged on each floor, and a complete story is formed when they are connected.

This sad theater doesn't look simple at all.

Li Feng wondered in his heart whether the real highlight would come after they passed all seven floors.

But no matter what, he should make good use of the present and get promoted first.

'I just don't know what story will be staged on the second floor of the theater. '

While Li Feng was thinking about the performance on the second floor, the hands of the brass clock on the table quietly pointed to 11:30.

The night outside the window was like a curtain, and the moonlight was pouring down like water.

A hazy mist floated in from the doors and windows. Li Feng was attracted by the mist. He took a look and turned his mind back, and found that the scene around him had changed.

There was the sound of waves hitting the reefs around him, and a stream of water vapor rushed to his face.

Li Feng looked around carefully. This was no longer his personal room, but the lighthouse island where the sad theater stood.

The dark night gave the gray exterior wall of the Sad Theater a cold blue color.

This cold blue, under the warm yellow light on the first floor, was particularly dazzling.

"You're here."

A voice sounded behind him, and Li Feng turned around to see that it was Xia.

She was wearing a long dress that she usually wore. Because she was prepared, she was not as embarrassed as last time in terms of clothes or mood.

"Well, let's go."

After saying hello, Li Feng and Xia began to walk towards the Sad Theater.

As they approached, suddenly, the lights on the second floor of the Sad Theater came on silently.

There was a melodious music sound, replacing the singing on the first floor, coming from the second floor of the theater.

Like last time, Li Feng and Xia lost control of their bodies at the same time.

They began to be controlled by the Sad Theater and stepped into the main entrance of the theater step by step.

Unable to control his own body, although Li Feng had been prepared, his heart was still instinctively empty.

But soon, he noticed that Xia Ya beside him was calm and didn't care about it at all, just like going home.

'Well, in a sense, she did go home. '

The waves not far away kept hitting the rocks again and again.

Soon, Li Feng and Xia Ya almost walked to the bottom of the Sad Theater Tower, and the warm yellow lights reflected from the first and second floors shone on them.

Still silent, the two heavy front doors of the Sadness Theater suddenly opened to both sides.

The fully opened front door showed all the broken walls and ruins of the first floor of the theater.

"How did the first floor become like this?"

Xia, who had already walked into the theater, was very surprised.

"Didn't you do this?"

Li Feng replied through the contract.

The last time Xia obtained the power of the black dragon ancestor on the first floor of the theater, because her ancestor's power was too strong, the entire first floor of the theater was destroyed.

Xia: "...Okay."

Unable to control their bodies, Li Feng and Xia observed the surroundings as much as possible.

This place full of broken stones and pillars is the first floor of the theater, but how can we get to the second floor of the theater?

While they were thinking, there was a heavy click sound coming from above their heads.

Looking up as much as possible, it turned out that the stairs leading to the upper floor moved by themselves.

The heavy stone stairs covered with bright red carpet kept rotating and retracting.

Soon, a staircase leading to the second floor appeared in front of Li Feng and Xia.

Still under control, they stepped onto the stairs and entered the second floor of the theater.

Looking at the rows of seats covered with thick red velvet in front of them, and the stage with a blood-red curtain not far away.

Li Feng felt that the second floor of the Sad Theater was no different from the first floor.

"Then shall I start?"

Seeing that they had reached the second floor, Xia said to Li Feng through the contract.

Thinking of the ancestral power that was about to be obtained, her tone was full of anticipation and excitement.

"Wait a minute, let's see what's on the second floor first."

Li Feng always felt that the Sad Theater was not that simple.

Judging from the cinnabar cup on the first floor, maybe something else would appear after passing the seventh floor.

And he was also very curious whether the seven performances on the seven floors of the Sad Theater would really form a complete story.

Anyway, with Xia here, she can flip the table at any time. She is idle anyway, so why not watch the performance on the second floor.

"Well, okay."

The two have been together for a long time, and Xia also understands what Li Feng means without too much explanation.

At the moment, they still obey the power that controls them and sit in the middle of the front row of the audience.

As last time, the song before the formal performance sounded.

Listen carefully, in the ethereal and beautiful song.

It tells that a long time ago, there was a small country on this land.

But one day the king of this country died, the kingdom had no son, and the queen inherited the throne.

But this country is very small, and there are many neighboring countries outside the forest on its border.

One year on Midsummer Festival, the prince of a neighboring country passed through this small country, and the former queen, now the queen, entertained him with rich food.

But the queen thought that her country was too small to fight against those big countries.

So she hoped to win over the prince of the neighboring country and entertain him with herself in order to seek an alliance between the two countries.

At the end of the ethereal song, singing to the quiet night, the queen stepped on the moonlight and walked into the prince's room.

The singing ended, and the scarlet curtain on the stage was pulled up, revealing the set.

It was a bedroom shrouded in the night, with a simple style.

There was a huge moon hanging outside the long arched window, and the white curtains fluttered, as if there was a night breeze blowing.

"Dong Dong Dong."

The wooden door on the left side of the scene was knocked gently.

The prince of the neighboring country, who was already lying in bed, got out of bed and opened the door after hearing the knock. The queen of the small country was standing at the door in a thin pajamas.

Li Feng: ? ? ?

No way, what does this mean?

Before coming here, Li Feng had fully utilized his potential as a plagiarist and wrote countless sequels based on the bloody story on the first floor of the theater.

But I never expected that, according to this development, the performance on the second floor would be a small film?

And in the current situation, fortunately Xia knew that he would not predict the plot of the performance in advance.

Otherwise, based on his previous sentence "Wait a minute, let's see what is performed on the second floor first", he would definitely become a weird uncle who deceived the little girl.

Moreover, Li Feng complained strongly in his heart.

For this kind of plot, shouldn't the dinner scene be performed in detail? Isn't the after-dark scene just mentioned briefly?

How can you, Sadness Theater, put the cart before the horse? !

It seems that there is indeed no God of Harmony in the other world. Alas, the Seven Gods don't care about it.

Sitting with Xia and watching this strange thing, Li Feng now perfectly understands what embarrassment is.

Like Li Feng, Xia is also embarrassed.

Thinking about what will happen on the stage, Xia suddenly feels that this is not as good as the first level of self-castration.

Thinking that there should be no useful information later, Xia is ready to end it early. She asked Li Feng through the contract:

"How about..."

"Hmm."

Li Feng also planned to end this embarrassing performance.

But just when Xia was about to use the power of the ancestors to regain control of the body.

She and Li Feng suddenly realized that the performance on the stage did not develop as they expected.

Instead, some incredible things happened.

At this moment, the prince of the neighboring country asked the queen of the small country to take off her clothes and then stood in front of the tall window.

The performance on the stage did not indicate the season, but judging from the fluttering curtains and the state of the queen of the small country, the night wind was strong and cold.

"What are they doing?"

As a black dragon, Xia found it difficult to understand and asked the human around him.

"Hmm...I don't understand either."

Looking at the stage, Li Feng couldn't imagine what the prince from a neighboring country meant.

Simple humiliation?

Judging from the increasingly obsessed expression on his face as he sat on the edge of the bed, it didn't seem like it.

But what does the neighboring prince mean?

Although they are both human beings, Li Feng also feels that what is happening in front of him is difficult for him to understand.

Probably because he is not perverted enough.

Things developed in a strange direction, and Shia did not end it immediately.

Both she and Li Feng were vaguely curious about what would happen next.

Without letting them wait too long, the prince from the neighboring country pulled the queen of the small country to the bed. It seemed that he was about to start something that ordinary people could understand.

But before he started, he explicitly asked the queen of the small country not to move, make a sound, or respond.

Shia:? ? ?

Li Feng: ...I'm really not perverted enough.

What happens next, judging from the obsession of the neighboring princes, is that the Queen of the small country’s request for an alliance will not only be met.

And the closeness must have exceeded her expectations.

But this is a performance after all. As the actors on the stage work harder and harder, the audience below the stage feels more and more helpless.

Although she couldn't understand it, Shia felt that it was time to end it all.

Li Feng also believed that it was time to end this perverted show.

But at the same time.

On the stage, maybe the political demands were met, which led to a good mood, or maybe it was simply because I couldn't hold it back.

The queen of the small country who promised not to move still responded.

The next second, the prince from the neighboring country instantly lost interest, got up and left her in disappointment and anger.

Shia:? ? ?

Li Feng: "I understand."

"Understand what?"

Shia asked immediately.

"Do you remember the words on that ribbon?"

Li Feng replied:

"If you like corpses, you'll be interested in my stepdaughter."

"Hmm... I remember, but what does it have to do with tonight's performance?"

Thinking back to that ribbon, combined with tonight's performance, Shia suddenly realized that humans are really difficult to understand.

"That prince from a neighboring country likes corpses."

Li Feng cleared his mind and answered at the same time:

"Standing at the window, it was so cold that my skin lost its temperature. I couldn't move, make a sound, or respond.

This is clearly a prince from a neighboring country who is letting the queen of a small country play the role of a corpse.

And he... liked corpses. "

After hearing this explanation, Shia was stunned for a long time and then said meaningfully:

"I see--"

Li Feng was speechless:

"I just analyzed it based on clues. I don't have the same hobbies as the prince from a neighboring country."

"I didn't say that!"

"All right."

While the audience in the audience analyzed the plot, the performance on the stage continued.

The night passed unsatisfactorily for both of them, and the time came to the next morning.

The narrator's singing voice started.

In the morning light, the prince from the neighboring country took the people away without any regrets.

They will pass through the dense forests on the border and return to their home country.

Judging from the cold attitude of the neighboring princes, the queen of the small country's request for an alliance is hopeless.

As the prince of the neighboring country rides away, the queen of the small country closes the windows of the castle and the show ends.

The scarlet curtain slowly lowered, covering the entire stage.

"That's it?"

After the show resumed its normal content, it ended without beginning or ending, leaving Shia confused.

She originally thought something bloody would happen.

But now it seems that the second level of the story is only perverted but not bloody.

Li Feng, who was also watching the curtain fall, suddenly became more convinced of his original guess.

Each story in Theater of Sadness is just a fragment of a whole story.

They may be out of order, but...

Just as he was thinking this, Li Feng suddenly felt blood in front of his eyes.

After a while, his vision recovered, and he realized that he had been pulled onto the stage by the power of the theater, and the performance had begun.

Looking down at his surroundings, Li Feng found that he was sitting on the bed at the moment.

Well, he plays a prince from a neighboring country.

Then the current plot should be...

I vaguely felt that there was a figure standing in front of the tall semicircular window.

But before he could see clearly, Shia, who was standing by the window, turned over the table.

The sky-wide flames destroyed the curtain. As the power of the dragon ancestor was extracted, the entire second floor of the theater began to decay at an extremely fast speed.

There are ruins everywhere.

With Shia breaking the theater's power, Li Feng has regained control of his body.

He found a safe place to stand, and not long after, something appeared before his eyes:

[You passed the place of loss - the second floor of the Theater of Sorrow]

[You gain the power of a hunter and are successfully promoted to the second level and fourth level hunter]
