Chapter 3681 Two Days
After reading the overview of the main quest, Gleipnir wasn't too surprised.
When she heard the group of people cursing at the corridor door, she already had some guesses.
As expected, the main quest is related to the core changes of the beauty pageant show.
Therefore, when Gleipnir saw that it was the main plot that asked them to persuade the chief planner to set things right, he felt very calm.
However, when she saw the countdown, her mood finally began to fluctuate.
48 hours countdown, isn’t this a bit too long?
She didn't care. At worst, she could just ignore the mission here and log off directly, but... the Starworm couldn't log off.
The starworm itself can only stay in the Dream Crystal Origin for six days. If it were to waste two days here, wouldn’t that be a bit bad?
Gleipnir frowned, thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.
Looking at the words on the Wonderland prompt...she suddenly thought of a possibility.
The main task is to let them "convince the chief planner", so if "persuasion fails", will it be equivalent to "mission failure"?
Think of this.
Gleipnir decided to give it a try.
She told Starworm about her plan: "I will go negotiate with the chief planner later. If I disappear, it means that my idea is feasible. You can act according to my plan later."
Starworm actually had some other ideas in his mind, but looking at Gleipnir's determined eyes, he finally did not speak and nodded: "Okay."
Next, Gleipnir took action.
She pushed open the glass door and walked into Prada Media.
About ten minutes later.
Gleipnir quietly opened the door and walked out. As she returned, a burst of mocking laughter came from inside the door.
From the sarcastic voice coming from inside the door, it can be known that Gleipnir's "persuasion failed", but she did not disappear, which means... the main mission has not failed.
After the door was closed and the scolding subsided, Gleipnir told his experience after joining the media company.
Although Prada Media is not as successful as it used to be, it is still big enough for many employees.
After she entered, she used the excuse of renting an empty shop in the building and learned from the employees where the chief planner's office was.
And met smoothly.
The chief planner has his name on a sign on his desk: Yusup.
When I saw the name of the main planner, the wonderland reminder came as expected.
Yusup
"As the newly appointed chief planner of Prada Media, Yousup has extremely lofty ideals. He hopes to give the Prada Beauty Show a new lease of life under his own leadership and make it the top of the three major competitions. Although he is an idealist, he is also a pragmatist. He knows very well that it is not easy to revive the beauty show after it has been blocked several times by the official "Fashion Guild". The key problem that lies ahead is... no money."
"Yusup is a key figure in the main quest."
Yusup does not have any side quests, but there are corresponding wonderland hints. The reason lies in the last sentence: he is the key figure in the main quest.
In other words, if you meet someone who does not have any side quests but also has fairyland hints, then there is a high probability that the other person is related to the main quest.
However, these are not important for now.
From Yusup's NPC information, we can know that he actually wants to run the "Prada Beauty Show" in his heart. It is precisely because he has such a desire in his heart that he can finally "set things right". On the contrary, if Yusup himself does not have any ideals, it is impossible to change the other party's mind.
Therefore, the key to completing the second round of main tasks has been directly stated in the wonderland information.
That is – money.
As long as they can get a large amount of money, they can complete the second main mission and make Yusup change his mind.
Gleipnir figured out the key clues to the second round of main missions, but she didn't care. She came here not to complete the mission, but to make it fail.
How to make the "persuasion mission fail"?
Since Yusup was short of money, Gleipnir did the opposite and did not implement any actual benefits, instead of just making empty promises.
Just as Gleipnir expected.
In less than five minutes, Yusup had her "carried" out. Amid waves of ridicule, Gleipnir's "persuasion mission failed."
But the main quest... has no effect at all.
Gleipnir sighed and looked at the Starworm: "So, if persuasion fails alone, there is no way to make the main storyline fail. We now have only two choices. Either wait 48 hours and the mission will automatically fail."
"Either..."
When Gleipnir talked about the second option, he suddenly stopped, as if hesitating whether to continue.
Starworm understood what she meant and said it for her: "Or, we should complete the persuasion mission as soon as possible and move on to the next round of the main storyline."
Gleipnir laughed and nodded. "Yes, but it is still unknown what the next round of main quests will be. The countdown may be shorter, or longer, or even no countdown at all."
"So, I thought about it carefully, and there is actually no need to spend energy completing this round of tasks for the unknown next round of tasks."
After Gleipnir finished speaking, he looked at the Starworm and said, "What do you think? Do you decide to complete the second round of tasks, or wait for 48 hours?"
Starworm didn't hesitate at all and chuckled: "I choose to wait 48 hours."
In fact, Starworm wanted to say it when Gleipnir was about to try to fail the mission.
He didn't care too much about the 48-hour countdown.
Initially, it was his own decision to "complete the first round of tasks"; therefore, he would bear all the consequences that might arise in the future.
48 hours...although it was quite long, it was actually within his acceptable range.
Gleipnir had said before that the fairyland system was the core element of the Dream Crystal. He spent 48 hours in the fairyland for an in-depth exploration, which was not a waste of time, but also a form of observation.
Two days later, couldn't he still go out and explore other things in the Dream Crystal Origin?
Therefore, he calmly accepted the 48-hour countdown. At worst, he would just explore the modern city.
It was a good opportunity to complete the other two rumors that were awarded before, and maybe he could be rewarded with a complete fashion magic. ——He really wanted to use fashion magic himself.
In his opinion, fashion magic originated from the fairyland, and the fairyland is the core system of the Dream Crystal Origin. Isn't trying fashion magic equivalent to trying the energy system of the Dream Crystal Origin?
Isn’t this also a kind of in-depth observation?
You know, Starworm has traveled to many worlds and observed many worlds on the Star Sea Train in the past. The energy systems of those worlds are not compatible, and he has no way to try it himself.
This time I have the opportunity to try a new fashion magic system in Wonderland, which is worth it.
On the other side, after hearing Starworm's decision, Gleipnir asked curiously, "Since you have decided to stay here until the mission fails, what are you going to do in these 48 hours?"
"Explore the city, search for rumors, and try fashion magic." Starworm said without hesitation.
Seeing that the starworm had its own goal, Gleipnir breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about you?" Starworm looked at Grapnel: "Do you want to explore the remaining two rumors with me?"
Starworm stretched out his hand and invited sincerely.
Gleipnir was silent for two seconds, then shook his head. “I actually want to explore with you, but I still have a lot of things to deal with. So, we can only go our separate ways here for now.”
There are too many busy things in reality. As the leader of the Dream Mirror Organization, Gleipnir cannot waste time in this copy.
She sighed and said softly:
"I've already given you the manor door card. When you leave the dungeon in 48 hours, we'll meet at the manor."
Although Starworm felt a little disappointed after being rejected, he didn't think much about it and nodded: "Okay."
He did not forget that he had promised Gleipnir that he would tell her about his experiences.
After deciding to separate, Starworm prepared to explore the Modern City alone, while Gleipnir prepared to log off after Starworm left.
However, just as the starworm was about to disappear from the corridor, she suddenly thought of something.
He called out, “By the way, I have a question for you.”
Three minutes later, in an empty corner outside the Prada Media building.
Gleipnir looked at the starworm and whispered, "Have you heard of the Hulifa?"
"Xu Lifa?" When Xing Chong heard a name, he didn't react at first. After thinking for a while, he suddenly came to his senses: "Are you talking about the doom puppet Xu Lifa?"
Gleipnir nodded: "That's her."
"Why did you mention her suddenly... She is a taboo existence in the infinite plane."
Gleipnir did not explain, but simply asked: "What should I do if I encounter a doom puppet?"
"Meet the Doom Puppet?" The Starworm looked at Gleipnir strangely. "I don't know who you are talking about who met the Doom Puppet, but if it's you, I suggest you just accept death if you meet the Doom Puppet."
"Even if you are a legendary being, your chances of surviving when you encounter the Doom Puppet are slim."
Then, Starworm told what he knew about the Doom Puppet.
The information he provided almost all overlapped with that of the Sun-Moon Intelligence Agency, but he did mention quite a few cases of the transformation of the Disaster Puppet that even the Sun-Moon Intelligence Agency was not aware of and that the Order Guild had not even recorded.
However, these cases are still of no reference value in Dream Crystal.
Because the questions asked and the requests made by the Disaster Puppet are completely random, the previous cases are for reference only and have little value.
Although Gleipnir had expected this, he was still a little disappointed after hearing the starworm's answer.
"No more questions, let's part ways now."
Gleipnir said this, and signaled the starworms to leave.
Starworm thought for a moment and said, "I once heard a rumor that each of the top five members of the Star Train has the ability to resolve disordered things."
"If you really encounter the Marionette and want to find someone to deal with it, maybe you can go talk to the conductor later."
Gleipnir: "The owl?"
The Starworm nodded: "The conductor is in the top five. Perhaps it can find a way to solve it."
Gleipnir pondered for a few seconds and nodded casually: "I understand."
Starworm didn't say anything more, nor did he ask for information about the "Disaster Puppet". He knew what he should inquire about and what he shouldn't inquire about.
The Doom Puppet is something you shouldn't ask about.
Starworm waved goodbye to Gleipnir and disappeared at the end of the street.
Gleipnir did not log off immediately, but whispered: "I was planning to explore this dungeon before, but now I find that it is too complicated."
An echo suddenly sounded in the silent space.
"So, you don't plan to conquer this dungeon?"
There is no doubt that the person who spoke was Angel outside the copy.
Gleipnir nodded. "I'm not planning on that. This instance doesn't look like it's suitable for immigration right now. Fashion monsters are too weird, and no one knows if they will be replaced suddenly."
"If you want to immigrate, you can only pass this instance perfectly, but it's not that easy to pass this instance perfectly."
After the words fell, about ten seconds later, Angel's voice came slowly: "I am quite interested in this copy."
Angel's words not only stunned Gleipnir, but even Laplace outside the copy looked at Angel in surprise.
"why?"
"There's not much reason. I just think the background of this dungeon is interesting." Angel: "I'm very curious about where the fashion monster is hidden. Is it really hidden in another dimension, or is it hidden in people's hearts as Geralt said?"
"If they are human hearts, then can I detect them using the True Illusion Technique?"
Hearing Angel's answer, Gleipnir seemed to understand something.
Angel probably felt that this fashion monster was hiding too secretly, which aroused his desire to challenge it.
Laplace thought so too.
But the actual situation is somewhat different from what they imagined.
The setting of the fashion monster did indeed arouse Angel's interest in exploration, but what really concerned Angel was the background of this world.
Putting aside the extraordinary setting of fashion magic, this modern city is too similar to the metropolises on Earth in the holographic tablet.
Although Angel didn't think Modern City had anything to do with Earth, he couldn't help but make a comparison.
Before, he had secretly used the God's perspective to look at various libraries in Modern City, trying to find the history of this city and the world it existed in... But unfortunately, he found a little bit of history, but it was useless. There was nothing else.
But Ingres did not give up, because books are written by people.
There is no record in the books, so are there any related memories in the minds of the countless NPCs in the Modern City?
This is actually the reason why Ingres was interested and even wanted to go in and experience it in person.
However, these are all related to "Earth", and Ingres does not intend to say it out loud.
That’s why I found an excuse to “explore fashion monsters”.
——But then again, he does have some interest in fashion monsters.
