I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 5, Section 1.0: Searching for the Golden Carrot

Mu Yegui did not use the prop immediately, but kept a close eye on Fei Xiu's actions.

“You don’t seem surprised.” Mu Yegui looked up at him, her delicate face serious, and said with certainty.

Fish stroked his smooth chin, his azure eyes gazing at Mu Yegui with a hint of amusement, and teased, "How am I supposed to answer that? The rules say there are 108 items, which means that items are extremely common in the King's Game, so it's not surprising, is it?"

"A perfect reason," Mu Yegui nodded, commenting, "but the logic isn't quite right. While it's not surprising, you forgot that this is the first time we've seen the prop. No matter what, there should be some curiosity, since no one knows what the prop actually looks like. But you didn't; instead, you confidently told me it was the prop mentioned in the rules. So, please give me another reasonable explanation that doesn't raise any doubts about your motives or identity?"

"Anything else?" Fei Xiu smiled faintly, showing no panic even after Mu Yegui exposed her, and waited casually for her to continue.

The two were vastly different in stature; Mu Yegui's height only reached Fei Xiu's chest, even though their auras were in no way inferior to each other's.

Seeing that Fei Xiu was waiting for her to continue speaking, Mu Yegui suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. She pursed her pink lips, her delicate and pretty face serious and taut, and said, "I'm thirsty, I don't want to talk for now."

“That’s what attracts me to you.” Fisch bent down slightly, reached out and cupped the loose three-strand braid beside her face, lowered his head and gently touched the red gem on the hair tie with his thin lips, a faint, ambiguous smile playing on his lips.

"Can I take it as you having an excess of hormones?" Mu Yegui tilted his head slightly and asked seriously.

"Hahahaha, sure, you can interpret it however you want." Fish laughed heartily after hearing this, his handsome face filled with joy, and his azure eyes revealed a hint of barely perceptible fondness.

Mu Yegui ignored the man's continued madness, turned and walked out of the small round house, casually stuffing the diary into the large pocket of her cloak. She had been trying, but ever since encountering the black hole, her supernatural abilities had become unusable, and even here, it was still no use.

Unable to use her supernatural abilities or any items not belonging to this world, she could only resort to the most ancient method: stuffing things into her clothing pockets. Fortunately, Nalan Xu had specifically designed a pair of pockets for her cloak for convenience, and now they came in handy.

This diary gave her a strange feeling; it seemed to be related to their mission in the instance, but not entirely connected.

Upon closer inspection, the name of this instance feels somewhat out of place. Why is it called "Beautiful Rabbit Village" instead of "Finding the Golden Carrot" like the quest?

Unless there's more than one quest in this instance...

Mu Yegui suddenly remembered the so-called level. At that time, the voice seemed to have announced the mission level rather than the dungeon level.

Therefore, she is now quite certain that there is more than one quest in the instance she is in. The diary in her hand is probably a necessary item for another quest. However, she did not see any other players. It should be that only one quest can be carried out in an instance, at least that's the case for now.

Although the diary is of no use to them, since it is a copy, the settings are the same.

She was certain from the fact that they were attacked after turning their backs to the rabbits that they couldn't eat the carrots either, because the setting stated that eating carrots would turn them into rabbits. And who could tell which carrots weren't grown from seeds given by the rabbit village chief? They didn't look any different.

Mu Ye returned to the small round house where she was temporarily staying and found that only the chubby An Lin was inside.

"You're back? Any new leads?" The chubby An Lin was holding a piece of wood in his hand, seemingly carving something.

"I've discovered two things: First, you can't turn your back on a rabbit carrying a weapon, or you'll be attacked. Second, you can't eat the carrots in Rabbit Village, or you'll turn into a rabbit." Mu Yegui held up two fingers, her delicate and cute face serious as she spoke.

"How do you know?" The chubby An Lin frowned slightly. Although it wasn't that he suspected Mu Yegui, it was always better to be a little more cautious in this godforsaken place. "I've been attacked by rabbits," Mu Yegui said calmly. "However, we still need to test it to see if it applies to you as well."

An Lin was the only one in the cabin; the other two should be in the radish field. Since she had never been to the radish field before, she decided to go and take a look.

Fish followed Mu Yegui silently the whole way, then suddenly said, "You're so kind."

With her cool, silver eyes glancing indifferently at the unconcerned Fei Xiu, Mu Ye Gui didn't answer. In fact, she simply didn't want to talk.

Mu Yegui did not go to the radish field immediately, but went to the village chief's house first.

The Rabbit Village Chief's house is located near the central fountain in Rabbit Village and is the largest building.

Mu Yegui knocked three times gently, carefully controlling her strength so as not to break the door.

Seeing that no rabbits opened the door, she pushed it open herself and went in. However, the moment she opened the door, a deafening snoring sound came out. "Snoring~" A gust of wind blew out of the house, making Mu Yegui's long hair float in the air.

The snoring never stopped, and the wind blew in and out, but Mu Yegui walked steadily in the house, completely unaffected.

Unaffected as well, Fei Xiu's eyes remained fixed on Mu Yegui, a hint of inquiry in them.

A huge, fat rabbit was fast asleep on the big bed. The snoring and the strong wind all came from it, but the arrival of Mu Yegui and Fei Xiu did not disturb its sleep.

The most important thing in playing games is collecting clues, and the most important step in collecting clues is to search through boxes and cabinets.

As the center of power in Rabbit Village, the village chief's house, the initial suspect recorded in the diary, must be searched.

She shoved the white rabbit she was holding into Fitch's hands and began rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

However, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any useful clues.

Fisch casually took a step to the side, and with no obstruction, the strong wind blew violently through the furniture in the room, knocking over the vase on the table.

With a loud 'bang,' the vase fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, making it impossible to recognize what it originally looked like.

The loud noise instantly stopped the snoring.

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback. Was he about to wake up?
She had only taken one step forward when she saw a small brown cloth bag peeking out from the broken pieces of a vase on the ground, with tiny seeds scattered about inside.

Mu Yegui squatted down and put the seeds back into the small cloth bag one by one. Then, grabbing the bag and Fei Xiu's wrist, he ran out of the village chief's house without looking back.

We've finally found the important item.
