"Any other information?" Zuniga looked at Dan.
Dan thought for a moment and said, “It is rumored that Ms. Zoe plays a big game in private…”
Angel and Zuniga glanced at the same time.
Angel: "...What kind of information is this?"
Zuniga: “Please elaborate.”
Angel and Zuniga spoke almost at the same time. Dan looked at Angel, then at Zuniga, and finally decided to listen to his master.
"The reason for this rumor is that residents near the Ruiyi Theater often see a large number of men and women entering and leaving the theater late at night."
"Among them were models from Zoe's label, and some celebrities from Modern City... They went in with a lot of anxiety, and left with a lot of spring in their faces."
It was the middle of the night and the lights were not on in the theater, but there were a large number of handsome men and beautiful women gathered there, as well as celebrities and dignitaries... Naturally, it made people imagine a lot.
There are even rumors that the Ruiyi Theater and Hongxiang do the same thing at night, except that Hongxiang caters to ordinary people while the Ruiyi Theater caters to high-end customers.
Zoe is the biggest driving force behind this chaos.
To put it bluntly, according to rumors, Zoe is the madam.
Dan: "Although it's just a rumor and has not been confirmed. But what the nearby residents saw should be true. I just don't know what the Ruiyi Theater is doing with its doors closed in the middle of the night."
Zuniga: "It sounds exciting, but there is no evidence. Apart from this, do you have any other information?"
Dan shook his head. "I don't have any information about Ms. Zoe for now. However, Leonard and I have arrived at the Snake Path. The situation here... how should I put it, it's a bit complicated."
The Snake Road is the winding underground passage from the Fifth Town to the Thirteenth Town.
Previously, Zuniga learned from the daily news that the "People of the Mountains" would most likely appear in the Snake Road, so he sent Print Girl there in advance.
As for Leonard, he was an external aid that Zuniga found for Print Girl before he came to the underground block to look for Angel. He could cooperate with Dan to draw graffiti in various places.
"problem occurs?"
Dan sighed, "It's not serious yet, but I think it will be soon. I'll show you..."
After he finished speaking, Dan's figure gradually faded into thin air, turning into a flat color palette, with all the colors reorganizing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a while, a picture was reconstructed.
A young man with dark green curly hair stood in the dim corridor. He was surrounded by four mutants. Judging from their "cool" and unrestrained attire, they were probably homeless people from the neighborhood.
The green-haired man seemed to be trying hard to explain something, but the mutants around him had fierce expressions and greedy eyes, and they were getting closer and closer, as if they wanted to surround the man.
Zuniga frowned, "What's going on?"
Dan: "We wanted to paint graffiti here, but these people surrounded us and stopped us, saying that this is where they sleep and we absolutely cannot paint here..."
"In fact, this is not the first group of people. We met several groups of people along the way. Most of them can be dealt with with money. But there are also some who don't want money, like these few."
Dan felt helpless. Even though Leonard said he would give them money, they didn't seem to care about the money at all and insisted on driving them away.
"Don't care about money?" Zuniga sneered: "They don't look like they don't care about money. They probably want to extort more..."
The Print Girl was silent for a moment. "What should we do? They have occupied the key fork of the Snake Road and want everyone passing by to see the graffiti. This is the best place to draw it."
Print Girl is another monster that is not good at fighting.
Apart from adding some graffiti on the opponent's body, it has no other fighting power.
Zuniga's eyes turned cold: "I'll send Fengwen over. He can control the wind... Forget it, I'll go there myself."
Zuniga originally wanted to let the boy Fengwen go, but he thought again that the remnants of the Kingdom of Mountains were most likely near the Snake Road, and he couldn't wait to see his "old friend".
Besides, it seems unnecessary for me to go looking for Ms. Zoe, so I might as well go to Snake Road to draw graffiti. Maybe I can be the first one to meet the people of my homeland.
Zuniga told Angel his idea, and Angel did not stop him. He nodded and said, "If you have any news, remember to contact me."
Angel was also very curious about what this man from the mountains who was swallowed by the dark corner had experienced and how he got out in the end.
Zuniga: "Don't worry, I will contact you as soon as I have any news. The same goes for you. If you need my help, remember to let Dan find me."
After parting ways with Zuniga, Angel boarded the train to South District 13 alone.
The Ruiyi Theater is located in the South Thirteenth District.
It is worth mentioning that South District 13 and South District 3 are adjacent to each other. After meeting Ms. Zoe, Angel can also go to Modern Middle School to meet Com, and then he can draw cards again.
When Angel thought about drawing cards, he felt a sense of anticipation.
He didn't really care what ability he drew, but he enjoyed the thrilling process of drawing the cards.
Just as Ingres was sitting on the city train and resting quietly, the text column that had been silent for a long time finally showed new changes.
"Special Dream "Prada Beauty Show" Main Mission 2 (Completed)"
“Since this task is completed by multiple people, the reward will be divided into two parts, a joint reward and a private reward.”
"Please check your rewards."
Finally... the second round of the main mission is completed!
Angel checked the situation at Prada Media and after consulting with Gleipnir, he found that everything was going more smoothly than he had imagined.
Gleipnir took Abigail to see Yusup.
At that time, Abigail pretended to be a special form of monster, belonging to Gleipnir.
When Yusup learned that Abigail was the "Carnival Night Clown", he had almost no hesitation, and without even waiting for Gleipnir to speak, he took the initiative to ask Gleipnir to help save the Prada beauty pageant.
Although Yusup has invested a lot of money in the "meat show" and has shown an attitude that it must be held, deep down in his heart, he actually hopes to hold a real "Prada beauty show".
Unfortunately, without Paipai and the clowns of Carnival Night, the beauty pageant could not be held at all. He could only settle for the second best and use the sex show to prolong the life of Prada Media. Only by surviving first can there be a chance to start over.
But all of this was broken after meeting Abigail.
Why would he hold a sex show when he had the chance to hold a real beauty pageant?
Soon, after a period of discussion, they successfully reached an agreement. Gleipnir agreed to let Abigail help Prada Media to re-organize the beauty pageant; and Yusup needed to give them full support in this process.
At the moment the contract was reached, the second round of the main mission was finally completed.
"I was thinking that if even Abigail couldn't get Yusup to give in, then I'd just have to keep throwing money at him." Angel: "Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly."
Gleipnir: "Although the second round of main quests went smoothly, when I looked at the requirements for the third round of main quests, I just felt exhausted."
Angel looked at his text column curiously, but did not see the third round of main tasks: "Have you received the third round of main tasks?"
Gleipnir nodded. "You should have some too. Once you claim the quest rewards, a new main quest will pop up. I feel like this new main quest... Sigh."
Hearing Gleipnir's long sigh made Angel even more curious about the new round of main plot.
"I'll collect the reward first and tell you later."
After Angel disconnected the connection, he looked at the text column.
He said he would claim the reward first, but he did not claim it right away. Instead, he clicked on the “clickable” text in the text box.
For example, "shared rewards" and "private rewards".
As he clicked, two new rows of text messages appeared——
"Joint Reward: All participants in the dungeon will receive the reward together. (Current number of participants: 3)"
"Private Reward: A separate reward will be given according to your contribution to the completion of this task. (Check your contribution)"
Angel clicked on "My Contribution" again, and immediately rows of new information popped up. This information was so complicated that you couldn't even see the end at a glance.
But to sum up, it is a summary of Angel's participation in the second round of main tasks.
Putting aside those detailed evaluations and simply summarizing the main line, Angel's contribution comes from two aspects: independently obtaining location rumors and assisting in completing sacrifice rumors.
The total contribution is 35%.
Gleipnir and Starworm contributed 34% and 31% respectively.
Perhaps because Angel purchased the sacrifice, his total contribution was slightly higher than Gleipnir's; and Starworm only participated in obtaining the prayer rumors and did not come to hold the ceremony afterwards, so his contribution was the lowest.
But no matter what, the three of them each completed a rumor, so the minimum contribution is 30%, which can be considered a normal distribution.
After reviewing the information, Angel finally chose to view and claim the reward.
"The mission rewards are as follows:"
"Joint rewards: 1. Exploration degree +15%. 2. Fifteen random rumors. 3. Two designated rumors."
"Private Rewards: 1. Any series of puzzle pieces (medium). 2. Three side quest rumors. 3. One hidden quest rumor."
This mission reward...how should I put it.
Not quite.
However, the puzzle pieces of any series are okay, but unfortunately they are not large pieces, and there is only one. Compared with the rewards given by Angel for doing side quests before, it is a world of difference.
The only slightly better thing is the rumor about the hidden mission.
Before this, Angel had done a hidden mission: the unknown savior.
He knew very well how generous the rewards for hidden missions were.
However, no matter how generous the reward for a hidden task is, it still requires time and effort to complete it. If you fail, then the reward will be wasted.
So, on the whole, we can only say that the rewards for the main quest this time are very average.
"This fits my stereotype of the main quest rewards..." Angel murmured in a low voice. You know, the reward for the first round of main quests was only three rumors.
Compared to the rewards for the first round of main quests, the rewards for this second round are actually pretty good...
After comforting himself, Angel looked to the bottom of the text column.
New text information has emerged here, which is the third round of the main quest mentioned by Gleipnir before!
"Special Dream "Prada Beauty Show" Main Mission 3 - The Price of Chasing Dreams."
"Main storyline: After Abigail joined Prada Media, Yusup felt that he was back on track, so he canceled the promotion of the sex show overnight and started planning the beauty show. However, as one of the three major competitions, the beauty show needed more than just the help of the Carnival Night Clown. It also needed a stronger foundation. However... Prada Media's foundation had been used up by Yusup some time ago."
"Main mission: Please use all means and methods within the limited time to restore the foundation of Prada Media Company and meet the minimum standards for hosting a beauty show."
"Countdown: 360:00:00"
"Countdown: 359:59:59"
……
Looking at the third round of the main quest alone, it actually doesn't seem to be too difficult.
But Angel knew that a task that could cause Gleipnir so much trouble must not be as simple as it seemed.
In particular, the time limit for this mission was directly jumped to half a month, which was enough to show that the hidden difficulty of this mission was definitely very high. Otherwise, how could they give you so much time to prepare.
Angel looked at the "minimum standards" in the mission objective. The word was highlighted, which meant it could be clicked to expand.
What would be the "minimum standard" that would give Gleipnir a headache?
Ingres stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the text column in mid-air.
sieve--
I don’t know if it was the sound of the wind or Ingres’s illusion.
When the new words appeared in front of Ingres, he froze like a wax figure.
"Minimum Standards:"
"1. Start-up capital: million."
"2. Talent pool: at least fifty magicians."
"3. Resource supply: ..."
"4. Logistics: ..."
"5. Cooperating organizations: ..."
"6. Security: ..."
"..."
There were more than ten items in total, and Ingres was dizzy just by reading the detailed specifications.
However, the subsequent standards, in Angel's opinion, were not particularly difficult. The most difficult part was the reserve of magic talent. At least 50 new magicians had to be recruited for Prada Media Company. In Angel's opinion, this was completely beyond the scope!
Magicians are a minority in Modern City, and most of them have their own guilds and organizations. Where can he find fifty magicians?
Even if the magicians that were poached by the Fashion Guild were rehired, the number would probably not be less than fifty.
Moreover, after finding them, the subsequent supplies for the fifty magicians will also cost a lot of money.
When Angel saw this, he finally understood why Gleipnir felt a headache... Not to mention Gleipnir, Angel felt worried too.
