The Master of the Ancient Castle (Bonus Chapter for Tips)
The third floor of the Ancient Castle had nearly twenty rooms. Besides He Pu's bedroom, the lounge, and the Music Room, there were more than ten others, but Hu Shan showed the players only four. She sternly warned them that guests were not allowed to enter any of the third-floor rooms without permission from either He Pu or her.
When Xu Huo heard her mention that there was also a Study Room on the third floor, he wanted to go in and have a look.
Hu Shan kept a stern face and refused, but just then He Pu came out and said, "Open all the rooms except the ones I use and let the guests have a look."
Since He Pu had spoken, Hu Shan had no choice but to comply, however reluctant she was. She took out her keys and opened the third-floor rooms one by one.
After a quick look around the rooms, the players understood why Hu Shan watched them like they were thieves—He Pu was loaded!
The art collection they had seen earlier was child's play by comparison. There was a whole room of precious jewelry, another filled with antiques and paintings, and another with weapons and firearms. There was even a storeroom specifically for potions, a room for items, a collection of rare animal specimens from other game sub-districts, and an underground pool where mutated crocodiles were raised.
The players' eyes had all gone red when they saw the potions and items, but their spirits sank when they saw the pool. The Vanishing Guest had probably all ended up as crocodile food. How were they supposed to find them now?
