Chapter 3680 Three Rumors
A few minutes ago, outside the Modern City dungeon.
In the live broadcast, Geralt is describing where the fashion monster is usually.
"Hidden in some hidden space?" Hearing this, there was a hint of doubt in Angel's eyes.
From a God's perspective, there is no blind spot in the modern city, and everything can be seen at a glance.
Even if the fashion monsters are hiding in a hidden space that cannot be seen from a God's perspective, such as a space similar to the "inner world", the "inner world" must also have an entrance to the "surface world".
However, Angel scanned every inch of the Modern City, and not only did he not find any entrance to the fashion monsters, he didn't even see any trace of the fashion monsters.
Therefore, Ingres had some doubts about this statement.
But what Geralt said next made Angel pause.
"Fashion monsters are hidden in people's hearts?" Angel narrowed his eyes slightly: "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 cannot see through, and that is... the human heart.
He might be able to detect someone's emotions through his extrasensory perception, but there is a long distance between emotions and thoughts. He cannot see through other people's thoughts, so he naturally cannot understand their hearts.
If the fashion monster really is hidden in the NPC's heart, then he really has no way of detecting it.
Ingres raised his field of view, and a bird's-eye view of the bustling modern city appeared on the live screen... neon lights flashing, bright lights and women everywhere.
They each go their own way, and each NPC has his own life trajectory and logic of behavior.
In a city with distinct classes and in a society controlled by fashion, it is normal for darkness to arise among so many people.
I just wonder, who has the fashion monster hidden in their heart?
As a spectator, Angel was originally just curious about this copy, but at this moment, he developed a certain interest in exploring this fairyland copy.
If the real fantasy and nightmare fantasy are combined, will the fashion monster hidden in people's hearts be aroused?
He really wanted to give it a try.
……
The perspective returns to Gleipnir.
Although the traffic conditions in the North Ninth District were complicated, after more than 20 minutes of searching, they successfully arrived at the location of Prada Media.
This is an obvious area of low-rise buildings.
Compared with the surrounding magical buildings and floating corridors, this place is not much different from the slums.
But even so, the people living in this area are still competing with each other in terms of clothing and appearance, as if the fashion trend has been engraved in their bones.
However, although the style is still trendy, the material is obviously different from other places.
Previously, silk, velvet, and top-grain leather were the most common materials in other areas, but here there are more offset printing, lychee leather, and various fancy polka-dot metals.
Whether the material is better or worse depends on personal aesthetics.
But there is no doubt that the people in this area dress more "shinily", and this "shininess" comes from the reflection of smooth leather.
Especially near the area of Prada Media, this "glossy" style becomes more and more obvious.
Soon, they saw the Prada Media building.
Sure enough, the building looks exactly like the crystal medium outside the copy.
A slightly old four-story building.
Not only is it different from the completely empty ruin-style building in Crystal Media, but the current building, although a bit old, is still very trendy at first glance thanks to the neon signs on the outside, various ribbons, and glowing flashing billboards.
When they arrived at the campus of Prada Media, a group of people dressed extremely extravagantly came out of the building.
Seeing this, Gleipnir and Starworm immediately remembered what Geralt had said before.
Dressed in such exaggerated styles, perhaps these people are fashion wizards?
Regardless of whether it was or not, Gleipnir and the Starworm subconsciously moved to the side to avoid contact with them.
However, these people themselves did not care about Gleipnir and the Starworm, but left on their own, with a very sad expression and some emotional words.
Gleipnir could vaguely hear: "This year's beauty pageant has actually been reduced to selling sex. Alas, this was once one of the three major competitions."
"Be quiet, be careful of the walls. Remember, these are two major events."
"I'm not afraid. In my opinion, the Dark Competition is also an excellent competition, and is definitely not worse than the Fashion Show. Moreover, now that beauty pageants are declining, the Dark Competition can completely replace the beauty pageants and become one of the two new competitions."
"You are so outspoken. I warn you, don't tell anyone outside that you know me..."
The sound faded away.
Gleipnir thought back to their words, and 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 wonderland reminder of mission completion popped up.
"Special Dream "Prada Beauty Show" Main Mission 1 (Completed)"
"Mission reward: three rumors."
"Rumor 1: In the lakeside corridor of Sona District, people have been hearing curses every midnight recently. The closer to the center of the corridor, the louder the curses are."
"Rumor 2: A ghost face appeared on the wall graffiti on the 30th floor of Longchi North Building. Maybe it was someone's prank?"
"Rumor 3: There is an old man who always dozes off at the security office on the first floor of Prada Media. Maybe he is hiding some secret?"
Gleipnir and Starworm were both confused when they saw the reward.
Isn't it said that the rewards for completing the main quests are all kinds of props, skills, and pets? Why are they only given three rumors?
What's the point of giving them three rumors?
Gleipnir looked at the three rumors carefully, and finally, his eyes fixed on rumor number three.
No one knew where the other two rumors took place; but rumor three was on the first floor of their building, which was... here.
Gleipnir turned his head and looked towards a big door on the right.
There is a nameplate with "Security Department" written on it above the door, and there is a transparent glass window next to the door.
When Gleipnir approached, he could clearly see through the glass window that there were two people in security uniforms inside.
One of the security guards was a young man of about 17 or 18, who was absorbed in drawing fashion designs and seemed to be completely oblivious to the outside world. The other security guard was an old man, who was sleeping soundly on a red beech table.
There is no doubt that these two security guards did not play their security role at all, but that doesn't matter.
According to the hint from the fairyland, the dozing old man should be the one 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 in thought, the starworm that followed him suddenly said, "I think I understand."
Gleipnir looked at the starworm in surprise.
Starworm said nothing, but pointed to a document on the red beech table, motioning Gleipnir to look at it.
Gleipnir looked and saw a name on the document - Kaushik.
The moment she learned the name, hints of wonderland appeared before her.
Kaushik
"Kaushik wandered here five years ago. He was taken in by the owner of Prada Media 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 well-liked by everyone. He was also very knowledgeable and would always give some pointers to the newcomers. But when his past was mentioned, he immediately became silent. Perhaps he was hiding some unknown secrets."
"Contact Kaushik and you 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, they might not have known that the old man working in the Security Department had a side quest.
If you want to pass this dungeon perfectly, side quests are absolutely the top priority.
However, for Gleipnir and Starworm, this information was not very valuable, because they themselves had never thought about completing this dungeon perfectly, and even if they knew that Kaushik had a side quest, they had no time to complete it.
What's more, if you want to accept this task, you need to gain recognition.
So... forget it.
Although Gleipnir had no intention of contacting Kaushik, she couldn't help but glance at the security department.
Every time the NPC information introduction is triggered, it is the time to know the other party's name.
There are two security guards in the security department. Perhaps the other young security guard who is studying hard also has his own story?
Soon, Gleipnir saw a folder with his name engraved on it next to the young security guard.
Aaron Bernou.
This is the name of the young security guard.
However, when Gleipnir saw the name, she did not feel any fairyland information feedback.
Gleipnir understood immediately.
It seems that not all NPC information will have wonderland prompts. Only those that contain important information, such as Geralt and Kaushik who have side quests, will have corresponding information prompts.
For those challengers who are willing to pass the challenge perfectly, this is quite humane and they can avoid seeing a lot of redundant information.
Gleipnir shook his head and left the security office.
At present, it seems that the three rumors most likely correspond to the three pieces of information.
Among them, rumor three represents a side quest.
Rumor 1 and 2... don't seem to involve people directly? Could it be that these two rumors are related to fashion monsters?
If so, does that mean that if they go to the locations of rumor one and rumor two, they can trigger a random mission and obtain the fragments of the fashion monster?
Gleipnir was actually quite interested in fashion magic, and if she had time, she really wouldn't mind going over to take a look.
But unfortunately, things in the outside world were too busy and more urgent, and she had no time to challenge this copy.
……
"By the way, why didn't the subsequent quests get triggered after the main quest was completed?" Gleipnir was a little confused.
It’s not that she wants to continue to complete the mission, but it’s difficult for her to leave this copy without triggering the main mission and causing the mission to fail.
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 split up and search." Gleipnir looked at the starworm, "Let's split up and look around the building to see where we can trigger the second main mission."
Starworm thought about it and nodded: "Then I'll go to the third and fourth floors."
Gleipnir nodded. "Okay, I'll just check out the first and second floors."
After the two of them split up to search, Gleipnir began to wander around the corridor on the first floor.
This building doesn't look very big from the outside, but it has a corridor-like interior, so it has a lot of space and many rooms...
Gleipnir wandered around for a few minutes and met some people working here, but still did not trigger the second main mission.
However, through observation and superficial communication, Gleipnir already knew that all the rooms on the first floor seemed to have nothing to do with Prada Media.
He saw "dye workshops", "custom leather merchants", and "galleries" here, but he didn't see anything related to media companies.
After thinking for a while, Gleipnir went to the second floor again.
However, the second floor is the same as the first floor, with various private workshops and even private residences, but there is no media company.
Gleipnir sighed and decided to seek help off-site.
Soon, Angel's voice came in.
"I just took a quick look. It seems that Prada Media has rented out the first three floors. They only have half of the fourth floor left."
"On the left side of the fourth floor is Prada Media. On the right side is a law firm."
"If the second main mission 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 searching the second floor, but climbed to the fourth floor.
At the corner of the stairs on the third floor, Gleipnir encountered a starworm that had searched the third floor to no avail.
"I just asked, and it seems that Prada Media has some financial problems, so they rented out the first three floors. If nothing unexpected happens, we need to go to the fourth floor to trigger the next main quest."
After explaining, the two of them went up to the fourth floor.
When they reached the fourth floor and looked around for a while, they saw the sign of Prada Media.
Before entering the company gate, they saw a recruitment notice poster next to the gate.
Recruitment Announcement: Beauty Show – Bikini Season.
Below the announcement, there was a beautiful woman, covered in oil and wearing very little fabric, blowing kisses to the people outside the picture.
The moment they saw this announcement, the long-lost hint of wonderland finally lifted the veil.
"Special Dream "Prada Beauty Show" Main Mission 2 - The Eve of the Dream's Fall."
"Main storyline: When you come to Prada Media with expectations, eager to start your dream 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 "body show". When you heard the news, your dream... was shattered."
"Main mission: Please use all the methods and means you have within the limited time to convince the main planner of the beauty pageant and put everything right."
"Countdown: 48:00:00"
"Countdown: 47:59:59"
