Open the Room
In the long, dark, and secluded corridor of the secret realm, Xiao Fan raised his hand and pushed open the second tightly closed door to the secret chamber.
[An empty room was detected; nothing happened.]
A cold, impersonal system notification sounded faintly; the room was empty.
There were no curses, no traps, no opportunities, only a silent darkness, with nothing but cold stone walls and the ground.
Xiao Fan glanced around briefly, then turned around and pushed open the second door without hesitation.
[An empty room was detected; nothing happened.]
The result was exactly the same.
The third door, the fourth door, the fifth door...
One heavy door after another was pushed open, only to be met with an unchanging emptiness and deathly silence.
The system's mechanical prompts were monotonous and tedious. The entire process proceeded without encountering any danger, nor did it yield any treasures or opportunities.
After five rooms were vacant, Xiao Fan frowned.
Why are there so many empty rooms?
A hint of surprise and helplessness flashed across Xiao Fan's eyes.
When he opened the first door, he remained vigilant, moving slowly and cautiously, fearing that he might repeat the same mistake he had made before.
Although these rooms are not cursed, who knows if there are other dangers?
Five consecutive empty rooms gradually relaxed his tense nerves.
At this moment, he no longer cared about being cautious and simply sped up his movements, pushing the doors open faster and faster. With each flick of his fingertips, one door after another was opened.
The tedious exploration continued until Xiao Fan reached out and pushed open the ninth secret chamber door. Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the room, instantly dispelling the long-standing darkness and coldness that had enveloped the corridor.
The entire secret room was bathed in dazzling golden light, with shimmering light and auspicious energy rising. Layers of magnificent light spread outwards, completely dispelling the surrounding cold and eerie atmosphere, creating a stark contrast to the previously empty and desolate room.
Xiao Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, filled with intense joy and anticipation.
"That light!"
Xiao Fan's face lit up with surprise, and he instantly became certain that this secret room must contain a great deal of hidden treasures!
After a brief moment of thought and confirming that everything was correct, Xiao Fan no longer hesitated, took a steady step, and strode straight into the room gleaming with golden light.
"Holy crap! This is...!"
Xiao Fan stared in shock at the things in the room.
Three stone Puppet clad in tattered ancient armor stood in the center of the room, Puppet eyes glowing with crimson fire, gripping rusted longswords and massive shields tightly in their hands.
[Puppet Support Room Detected. Players can contract one of Puppet temporarily assist them in their dungeon runs.]
The secret realm notification sounded again.
"Puppet is assisting in battle! It seems this is the teammate mentioned in the previous description of the Points items!"
"Puppet teammate, seems pretty good."
Xiao Fan focused his gaze on the three Puppet, observing them carefully.
The three Puppet in front of them each had a different form.
The Puppet on the left is holding a large shield in a defensive stance; it's obviously a defensive Puppet.
The Puppet in the middle wields a long sword with a fierce posture, clearly skilled in aggressive attacks.
The Puppet on the right has a medicine box on its back, so it should be a healing Puppet.
Three Puppet, three different uses, are all helpful to Xiao Fan, but unfortunately he can only contract with one Puppet.
Which one should I choose?
After a moment's consideration, Xiao Fan locked onto the defensive Puppet holding the shield, and with a thought, completed a temporary contract according to the Secret Realm Rules.
