Karen left, but the words he had said before still echoed in Angel's ears.
After listening to what Kallain said, Angle was not sure about the rest. The only thing he was sure of was that Kaushik was not simple.
Being able to restrain a fashion monster by himself, he is definitely not an ordinary person. He is probably another hidden NPC similar to Zuniga.
In other words, a magician with a story.
From this perspective, it seems that Angel encountered quite a few powerful hidden NPCs when he came to Modern City.
Kaushik hiding in the slums, Kaushik staying in the security room of Prada Media Company, and the Dark Lord who is suspected to have multiple identities...even the little witch of the Hermit Society can barely be counted as one.
The main mission of this copy floating on the surface is to help Prada Media Company regain its momentum.
But the tide surging in the dark is constructed by these hidden NPCs, creating a larger and more magnificent story.
At first glance, it sounds pretty good.
But Ingres sighed deeply in his heart.
Because according to the current situation, the main quest may only account for a very small part of this dungeon; the real big part is in those side quests, and even hidden quests...
In other words, it would be extremely difficult to complete this copy perfectly.
Angel's thoughts kept wandering, and finally he rubbed his swollen temples and decided not to think about it anymore.
Back to the previous topic.
The fact that Kaushik can artificially restrict the fashion monster shows how extraordinary he is.
But if we look back at the information in the text column, we can know that the Carnival Night Clown who stayed in the dark was actually sealed.
Kaushik has certainly been labeled as "not simple", but what kind of label should be given to the person who can seal the clown of Carnival Night?
Ingres thought about it for a moment, then quickly stopped.
Until it comes to that, stop imagining it.
……
After collecting the paints and cloths needed for the ceremony, Angel turned his gaze toward the starworms again.
I didn’t have time to watch the Starworm challenge mission before because I was interrupted by Kallain. I must not miss it this time.
The power information around the starworm was still floating, and Angel easily entered the challenge space where the starworm was through information perception.
The challenge space where the starworm is located is very, very small.
It's just a single room of less than five square meters.
There are doors and windows, but outside them is darkness that is so heavy that one cannot enter at all.
This means that the space that the star worm can move in is only the size of this single room.
This single room looked like an old-fashioned broadcasting studio. There was no other furniture except a recording console, a microphone, and a stack of envelopes.
Starworm was sitting in front of the console, holding an opened letter and reading it carefully.
If it was Gleipnir in the challenge space, Angel would definitely contact Gleipnir directly to inquire about the situation at the scene. But the person in the challenge space was a starworm, and in order not to reveal his identity, Angel could not contact him directly and could only collect clues on his own.
Fortunately, the Starworm seemed to have kept the text column open, and the power information was surrounding him. Angel successfully intercepted the information on the text column.
"Random mission "Unprocessed letter""
"Task Overview: Many years ago, there was an FM radio station in Modern City that had a talk show called "Solving Worry Mailbox" at midnight every weekend. Those listeners who were troubled would write letters to the radio station, and the host would sort them out and broadcast them at midnight on weekends. While reading the letters, he would give corresponding suggestions. However, this "Solving Worry Mailbox" column did not last long and was cancelled due to force majeure."
"Mission Target: "Time Radio" has decided to make up for the regret. It lets you become the temporary host of "Solving Worries Mailbox". You need to read out the incoming messages that were not processed before the program was suspended, and help give advice to satisfy the listeners."
"Countdown: 11:53:12"
"Countdown: 11:53:11"
"..."
This is the mission that Starworm received.
After reading the mission overview and objectives, the first thing Angle paid attention to was the difficulty of this mission. After all, the countdown for the main mission was imminent, and if Starworm took too long to complete this mission, it would likely lead to the failure of the main mission.
"The task doesn't seem difficult to understand, except..."
Angel pondered for a moment, turned his gaze away from the starworm, and contacted Gleipnir.
Gleipnir was on his way to Prada Media Company at this time. After hearing Angel's voice transmission, he immediately responded: "What's wrong?"
Without any greeting, Angel told Gleipnir directly about the mission that the Starworm had received.
Gleipnir was stunned after hearing this: "Is it a random mission? Not a side mission?"
Angel: "Yes, it's a random task. If nothing unexpected happens, he will get the final 'Location Rumor' after completing this random task."
Gleipnir was delighted when she heard this. She had previously thought that in order to obtain the rumors of the "location" behind the "prayer" and "sacrifice", the star worm needed to complete the side quest on Kaushik.
She was still very worried about this, after all, the process of side quests was generally longer than that of random quests.
Now that it has been confirmed that Starworms only need to complete a random task to obtain location rumors, Gleipnir is naturally delighted.
Moreover, even if the starworms cannot complete the random tasks in a short period of time, Gleipnir can get the tasks outside and help complete them.
In other words, side quests can only be done by Starworm alone. But random quests are different. Multiple people can take them together. Whether it is Gleipnir or Angel, they can take them. In the end, it depends on who completes it first.
This greatly improves the efficiency of completing random tasks.
Gleipnir: "The Starworm's random task is to deal with those unread letters?"
Angel nodded: "Yes, he will become a caring brother, reading the letters and giving advice."
"It doesn't sound that difficult." Gleipnir muttered.
Angell: "On the surface, it's not that difficult. But there's no specific standard for completing this mission, it just means satisfying the audience... That's too subjective."
"It's a bit like your previous mission. You need Anna to be satisfied before you can pass it. You also know that satisfying Anna is not that easy."
Gleipnir also recalled the process of drawing the design.
If Angel hadn't solved the puzzle, she would probably still be in the challenge space...
It was already difficult to satisfy Anna alone. And Starworm had more than one letter in his hand, so it would be very difficult for him to satisfy all the listeners.
Gleipnir also discovered the trap of this mission at this time. It looked simple, but it was actually full of pitfalls.
"You're right. The concept of 'satisfaction' is too subjective." Gleipnir narrowed his eyes. "Besides, each audience has a different personality. Some audiences may be satisfied with just a few words of comfort, while others may not be satisfied even if you open your heart to them."
"If you meet someone with a weird personality, maybe what he needs is not good advice, but a harsh scolding to wake him up..."
From this we can see that there are millions of listeners and it is impossible to satisfy everyone with just one trick.
Most importantly, Starworm has no idea of the audience's personality through the radio, so he can only keep trying and praying that some kind of comforting method can hit the audience's pain point...
This kind of trial and error is a completely exhaustive method and will definitely take a lot of time.
Thinking of this, Gleipnir's originally optimistic attitude immediately changed: "I feel that the starworm may not be able to complete this task within three hours. It seems that only the two of us can take on the task."
Angel thought so too. It was basically impossible for the Starworm to complete this task in a short period of time.
They're the only ones left to take over.
However, the mission they take over may not necessarily be easier than the Starworm's mission.
"I'll go over and take the mission first and see what kind of mission I'll get." Gleipnir sighed, "I hope it's a simple mission."
Angel was silent for a moment: "If it's too difficult, then wait for me to come over and spend money."
Gleipnir: "That's all we can do."
After disconnecting from Gleipnir, Angel looked towards the challenge space where the starworms were.
Angel still had some hope... Maybe they were just scaring themselves, and the audience of "Solving Worry Mailbox" wasn't that hard to please? Maybe Starworm could handle it all by himself?
However, when Angel looked at Starworm, he found that he did not start to "comfort" the audience, but frowned and stared at the letter in his hand.
Angel leaned over to take a look and immediately fell silent.
The content of the letter is very simple -
"Just a quarter of an hour ago, I killed my wife. I wrote this letter while smoking a cigarette. I am very happy, I think... but I am also a little confused sometimes, because... if possible, I would like to hear the advice of the host of Jieyou..."
The author of the letter spends a lot of space describing his changing moods, which are like a roller coaster, sometimes ups and downs.
But the only thing missing is the panic that a normal person would feel after killing someone.
He was like a mentally unstable murderer who wrote this letter in an excited state of mind.
Moreover, he did not seem to need the host's comfort. He just wanted to hear other people's opinions... It was even possible that he wanted to exchange experiences in killing people?
In short, when Ingres saw the letter, he already understood why Starworm remained silent for a long time.
If it were him, he wouldn't know what to say.
Comfort him? No need.
Scold him? Afraid he would feel good.
Warn him? Does warning really work with a madman?
Agree with him? Is approval really what the murderer wants?
In short, Angel was at a loss as to how to respond in order to satisfy the murderer.
Ingres was silent for a moment, then he looked at the unopened letters from a God's perspective, wanting to see if there were any that were a little "simple".
Then, the second letter he read made Ingres silent again.
"My mom has been acting strange lately. She cooked carrots for me, but I didn't like them, so she turned into a rabbit. My dad slapped me today, and then he fell down the stairs and turned into a fly swatter. My brother seemed to like strawberry pie very much, and he got into the pie like a strawberry, and even offered it to me. But I don't like strawberry pie, so I gave the pineapple pie to Subi. By the way, Subi is my dog, and he always meows at me. After eating the mango pie I gave him, he excitedly turned into a pile of bones in the basement..."
After reading just this part, Ingres was completely stunned.
Judging from the signer of the letter and the childish handwriting of the entire letter, it seems to be written by a little girl.
The content of the letter was full of absurdity and fantasy, and Ingres could not tell which words were true and which were false.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that if this little girl was not having a nightmare, her mental state was too advanced.
No matter which one it is, it is not easy to satisfy a little girl.
Angel read a few more letters, and there were some slightly normal troubles in them, such as a young man who desired a girl's personal belongings... Well, not too normal.
But compared with the previous letters, it seems too normal.
But even with this kind of "normal" letter, it is difficult to satisfy them.
Angel shook his head and silently withdrew his prying gaze.
I guess I can't count on the Starworms. I can only hope that the mission Gleipnir is going to take is a little easier...
……
About ten minutes later, Xiaolu returned to the Desire Hotel.
She came carrying a full iron bucket.
The iron barrel is filled with solidified wax. According to her, these are the raw materials for wax in carnival paper lanterns. When the carnival comes, the merchants will melt the wax in the barrel and pack it into carnival paper lanterns...
Xiaolu didn't know how much wax Ingres needed, so he just bought a bucket. According to the merchant, this bucket was enough to supply hundreds of carnival paper lanterns.
"If that's not enough, shall I buy some more?"
Angel: "No, these are enough."
Ingres checked the oil wax and found that it was indeed slightly different from the commonly used oil wax. It seemed to contain some more active elements that could release more gas.
This is probably why they are used in "Carnival Paper Lanterns".
This time, Angel used Modern Coins to purchase the items, because membership points can only be used to purchase products within the Hermit Club, and these oil waxes were bought by Xiaolu from outside using Modern Coins, so they are external products.
Therefore, you can only buy it with Modern Coins.
Fortunately, it’s not expensive.
Compared with the price of oil wax, the fee that Ingres paid Xiaolu for running errands was actually more expensive.
After the transaction was completed, Xiaolu blinked curiously: "Sir, is there anything else I can help you with?"
Angel thought about it and nodded: "I do have something that I would like to ask the Hermits for help with."
Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately turned serious.
If he just wanted her help, she could relax and joke around; but Ingres made it clear that he was asking the Hermits for help, so he had to be more serious.
