……

The main quest involves twelve ghost paintings, eight of which were hanging in the player's room and were all removed last night.

There are now four more hidden inside the cruise ship, which players need to find on their own.

Jiang Ling sipped her milk tea, deep in thought: "We only have room cards for our own room, so we can't get into the other guest rooms. We need to think of a way."

"Usually, the room manager or security guard has a master key to help guests solve problems at any time," Jiang Yao suggested. "If we can get our hands on a master key, we can find clues in the guest rooms."

"If we just ask, they definitely won't give it to us, right?" Ouyang Yu said. "We can only steal it, but stealing isn't that easy either."

At this point in the conversation, Tang Yunxi and Yan Zhao glanced at Yi Zanglan from the left and right respectively.

Noticing their gazes, Yi Zanglan stuffed the remaining ice cream puff into her mouth and nodded: "Okay."

The others: "What should we do?"

"Let's try to steal them, and try to steal a couple more."

"?"

Half an hour later.

Tang Yunxi called room service, claiming that she had lost her room key and could not enter her room.

Sure enough, a cruise ship employee arrived shortly afterward, offering friendly service and indicating that she didn't need to rush. He then used his master key to open the door for her.

"Guest, you can replace your lost room key at the cruise service center on the 1st floor."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much!" Tang Yunxi warmly grasped her hands, thanking her repeatedly. "I can never seem to shake this forgetful habit, but thanks to your thoughtful service, what's your employee number? I want to write you a letter of commendation!"

"No need, sir. It is my honor to serve you; it is simply my duty."

"No, I have to thank you. I'm the kind of person who always repays kindness!"

While Tang Yunxi was still dealing with the other party, Yi Zanglan calmly walked by and accidentally bumped into the employee.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she asked politely, "Excuse me, how do I get to the tea room?"

The employee pointed into the distance: "Keep going straight, then turn right and you'll get there."

"OK, thanks."

She strolled away from where she stood, and as she turned the corner, she saw Yan Zhao waiting for her there.

"Did it go smoothly?"

"It's nothing, nothing to worry about." Yi Canglan took his hand out of his pocket, a room key clearly between his fingers. "Let's go downstairs."

The two took the elevator to the 6th floor casino, where security personnel were patrolling. Yan Zhao walked straight up to them.

"Security officer!" she pleaded anxiously, feigning weakness and fear. "I just saw a fight on the 8th floor, and they looked like they were bleeding. It was terrifying! Shouldn't you go and try to maintain order?"

"What? We're coming right now!"

The two security guards rushed upstairs, but unexpectedly Yi Zanglan suddenly appeared from the shop next door, and the two bumped into each other.

Yi Zanglan immediately fell to the ground, looking up at the two of them with a resentful expression: "What are you doing? I'm going to file a complaint!"

"I'm so sorry!" The two quickly helped her up. "We're so sorry, sir. There was a fight upstairs, and we rushed to stop it."

"Oh, there's a fight?" She nodded, and waved her hand understandingly, "Then go quickly, I won't pursue it."

Thank you for your understanding!

Yi Zanglan watched the two hurriedly run away. She lowered her eyes, dusted off the corner of her clothes, and handed another room card to Yan Zhao.

"Let's go, it's done."

……

Twenty minutes later, the other four players who had been patiently waiting in the coffee shop, as told by Tang Yunxi, finally saw Yi Zanglan.

"Let's split up." Yi Zanglan tossed one of the room cards onto the table and calmly gestured, "The three of us will be responsible for floors 7 to 10, and the four of you will be responsible for floors 11 to 13. If you find any strange drawings, remember to keep track of the room numbers."

The arrangement was quite reasonable, and the others naturally had no objections, though they looked at her with a somewhat incredulous expression.

Jiang Ling vaguely felt that this was impolite, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked in a tactful way after careful consideration.

"Um, Miss Yi, did you... steal these two room keys through some means?"

"..."

Jiang Yao gave his sister a complicated look, which was anything but tactful.

Yi Zanglan was indifferent to this. She accepted the vanilla coffee that Tang Yunxi had just bought for her and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No, no! I'm just impressed; your efficiency is just too high."

"Hmm." Yi Zanglan took a sip of coffee and replied slowly, "Nothing special, just practice makes perfect."

"?"

* * * * * *

The three of them, holding the room keys they had just obtained, began to search each guest room quickly in search of the remaining four ghost paintings.

They searched all the way up to the 8th floor, but then they ran into some trouble. After opening a room, they found a young couple kissing inside.

"Hey! Who are you?"

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry." Yan Zhao immediately pretended to be an employee and bowed politely. "A guest just said they lost their room key. We went to the wrong place. We apologize for disturbing you."

She quickly closed the door behind her, gave her two teammates a wink, and complained in a low voice.

"Was that kiss a little too passionate?"

Yi Zanglan smiled and said, "You're quite observant."

"...You were looking quite carefully too, weren't you?" Yan Zhao casually nudged her. "What did you see?"

"I saw a painting hanging above the sofa."

"Hmph, you have good eyesight."

Tang Yunxi listened to the two of them talking back and forth, her face full of doubt: "Really? The painting we want is inside? I didn't see it clearly just now."

Yan Zhao nodded firmly: "It's true, every guest room has a still life painting, but not all of them have portrait paintings—I took a closer look just now."

"What's drawn on it?"

"A clown performing acrobatics."

"OK, got it, let's continue!"

Tang Yunxi's luck was truly remarkable. After discovering this painting, she quickly found another one by instinct in a luxury suite at the end of the corridor on the 9th floor.

The portrait painting depicts a ballerina in a white dress.

……

Almost at the same time, Ouyang Yu and her three companions also found their target room on the 11th floor.

She carefully observed the painting on the wall. The man in the painting was wearing a dark blue uniform with gold epaulets on his epaulets, and he was leaning on the railing looking out at the sea.

"This must be the captain, right?"

Zhang Nan confirmed, "Yes...it's the captain."

"Okay, remember the room number. Come find it tonight."
