——This can not be eaten.
After realizing this, Nan Zhou’s expression turned cold, it wasn’t too obvious that his mood was gloomy.
Noticing Nan Zhou’s thoughtful face, Jiang Fang couldn’t help but laugh, he lightly nudged Nan Zhou: Look at me.
Nan Zhou looked at him.
Jiang Fang lowered his head and whispered, “I will learn to make it later. It shouldn’t be too difficult.”
Nan Zhou blinked.
These words brought a warm sensation to his stomach which was twisting in hunger.
Like a butterfly with thin scaled wings fluttering around his internal organs, lifting him up into the skies.
Nan Zhou looked at Jiang Fang, his eyes being the guide that prevented Nan Zhou’s mind from drifting towards someplace he himself didn’t know.
… It felt like Jiang Fang was his anchor.
Nan Zhou looked away.
It seems like he had reproductive impulses again.
And a very special kind of reproductive impulse.
He vaguely remember reading somewhere that when there is a strange urge to reproduce, people don’t particularly want to have sex, they just want to cuddle.
As for which book he had read it in, he’d forgotten.
This is bad, Nan Zhou thought.
They were still in the middle of the task.
The steam rising in the black teapot hit the lid and it collided with the pot, making a clear, fine sound
An ominous heatwave came from the depths of the floor beneath their feet.
The two siblings beamed eager and innocent smiles at their guests.
Thanks to the siblings, Nan Zhou’s somewhat drifting spirit was brought back to the right track.
He cleaned his silver fork and forked a piece of soufflé.
When the soufflé’s skin, which was as soft as a marshmallow, was torn open by the silver fork, a strong scent of fresh egg mixed with rich strawberry cream wafted towards Li Yinhang’s face.
It was a kind of mental torture to let a hungry person smell this fresh mellow fragrance at a close distance.
Jiang Fang slightly curled his eyes and relaxed against the sofa, saying in an approving tone, “That’s very impressive.”
Jiang Fang had the ability to make anyone find him very approachable for a short period of time.
Sure enough, the sister blushed a little, proudly saying, “A small part of it was done by my brother, but most of it was done by me.”
Her brother glanced at her and shook his head disapprovingly.
Jiang Fang softened his voice: “Where did you buy the raw materials? I would also like to make a house like this for my teammate for him to live in.”
The sister, “That’s impossible. The candy house is unique. It will continue to produce the newest and best candy in the world.”
Jiang Fang calmly continued to obtain information, “Then have you considered opening a candy shop…”
Thanks to Jiang Fang diverting their attention, the brother and sister failed to notice that Nan Zhou hadn’t taken a single bite of the dessert at all.
They didn’t have a lot of time left.
The two siblings had been intentionally or unintentionally forcing them to quickly eat the desserts.
Many players are prone to interpret their dessert treats as “a task they need to complete”.
Nan Zhou’s mind was single-threaded and didn’t think about the twists and turns.
——The two siblings said they do not need the player to complete the task.
——As the only NPC in the game at the moment, this statement itself is a lie.
——Therefore, it is common sense to not believe the words of the people who lie naturally.
The siblings’ coercion to get them to eat the desserts was all too strong.
If they were made aware of a flaw in the plan, it would be difficult to predict what would happen.
The hunger pangs at the moment were strong enough that it affected his judgment, but rather made Nan Zhou’s mind work more strongly and efficiently.
Since entering this level, the path they had taken was an obvious single thread.
They had already explored in advance the other deserted road that led to the Great Swamp.
Other than the candy house, there was no place they could escape to.
In other words, the clues to clear this level must be hidden inside the candy house.
Fortunately, the candy house wasn’t too large.
After looking around for a while, Nan Zhou noticed two details.
First, there was no trace of a third person in this family.
Cups and photos were exclusive to the brother-sister duo.
Even the beds were two fluffy french bread children’s beds.
A “character” that should have existed in the fairy tale—the father of the two siblings—disappeared silently in this copy.
Second, several display shelves composed of chocolate crepes were built against the wall, just opposite the entrance to the candy house.
The top was decorated with fondant cakes in the shape of sheeps, squirrels, and other small animals.
But the display wasn’t entirely against the wall.
There was a gap between the wall and the shelf, causing the design to look a little out of place.
Nan Zhou held the soufflé and settled in a relaxed posture. After readjusting his posture to get a better line of sight, he looked over once again.
This confirmed his suspicions.
There was something behind the shelf.
Looking closer, Nan Zhou could roughly guess what was behind the display shelf based on the location of the thing—a hidden door.
The wall behind the display shelf was covered with a mousse coating, in an attempt to blend in with the original wall.
However, the imperceptible gap between the door and the wall could not be whitewashed without a trace.
And the door handle is even more difficult to hide.
So they simply placed a decorative shelf to cover it up.
Although the means of shielding was poor, considering that the candy house was quite small, if they had chosen a thicker disguise, it would reduce the open space available and make for an even more eye-catching cover up.
Nan Zhou unconsciously cut up the soufflé while stalling for time, putting his other hand into the warehouse. He calmed himself down and reorganized his thoughts.
——Could it be that if you don’t eat the food they provide and find this door, you can leave?
Would it be this simple?
Amidst his thoughts, Nan Zhou suddenly felt a cold gaze on him, “Why… don’t you eat?”
Nan Zhou raised his eyes, and the younger brother’s peacock green eyes stared at him.
Looking at the soufflé that was cut into pieces on the plate, Nan Zhou stopped trying to explain.
He made a backhand throw——
The brother closed his eyes in a conditioned reflex, but his sister’s scream came from beside him.
The cream of the soufflé hit her face.
The brother realized the plan was foiled and got up abruptly, trying to grab Li Yinhang’s shoulder.
When Li Yinhang saw his sister’s face smeared with cream, she sensed something was wrong and started to run away.
But the brother was exceptionally fast and flexible.
Seeing that it was too late to dodge, Jiang Fang kicked the tea table into the air. At once, he stuck the brother’s leg with the tea table and held him back.
Li Yinhang didn’t wait to see what happened next, and just as she was starting to run away, she felt a cold, strong wind blowing in. Someone grabbed her waist, pressed her horizontally against their side, lifting her entire body in the process.
Nan Zhou, holding Li Yinhang, strode towards the display rack.
Jiang Fang immediately sensed his intention and followed closely behind.
On the way to escape, Nan Zhou looked back.
The two siblings didn’t catch up.
Instead, they walked towards the two compartments on the floor against the wall, holding hands and looking sorrowfully at the three.
Nan Zhou thought about it and gave Li Yinhang an order: “Close your eyes.”
Li Yinhang gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.
In turn, he shouted to Jiang Fang, “Brother–”
Jiang Fang’s reaction was not slow, hearing the urgency in Nan Zhou’s tone, he leaped towards the jeweled sugar chandelier hanging on the ceiling.
In this short period of time, the floor under the three of them moved.
The floor on which they could stand turned upside down and folded into itself from both sides at high speed.
The exquisite small coffee table, sofa, and bed in the house turned out to be the appendages of the floor.
With the folding, the furniture, due to some special forces, were compressed like a piece of paper, as if a mustard seed was taken by Sumeru Mountain.
Only the area where the siblings stood, and the small piece of floor under the display shelf near the hidden door remained intact.
Nan Zhou thought, “No wonder the player’s nails appeared in the floor cracks.”
No wonder the two siblings didn’t find the clipped nails.
The player who lost his fingernail probably fell off the sofa.
He tried to grab the flipped floor, but it only pulled out his nail.
After the floor was restored to its original state, the sofa, which returned to normal, naturally hid the bloody secret…
After the floor tiles were removed, what was hidden underneath was a dozen huge soup pots placed next to each other, emitting snow white, boiling bubbles.
Each looking like living coffins.
