Confirming Clearance Item

"Uh, since Alger has already gone to the hospital, it seems there's no way he can participate in this gathering anymore. So, let's start playing now," Tina said, putting down her phone and suppressing a smile.

Ming Shi Xiang nodded and took out a few flyers from the small bag she was carrying. "These are flyers for this Harvest Festival that I just got from the staff at the entrance. They have the venue map for the Harvest Festival on them. I think they'll be useful, so I grabbed a few copies. Everyone take one."

Ming Shi Xiang said as she distributed the flyers to everyone.

Liu Xing took a flyer and looked at it carefully.

The front of the flyer introduced the origin of the Harvest Festival and its schedule.

Since Liu Xing already knew this information, he directly flipped to the back.

The back was the venue map for the Harvest Festival. Based on the entrance where Liu Xing and the others were, the area to the left and right consisted of various stalls forming a Commercial District. However, it was worth noting that in the Commercial District on the right, there would be a performance about the Harvest Festival. Liu Xing checked his phone; there were still ten minutes before the performance began.

In the Commercial District on the left, the map indicated a Grape Arbor.

In the Cthulhu Mythos tabletop RPG, there are generally no useless clues. Therefore, Liu Xing felt that this specifically marked Grape Arbor was definitely a location that must be explored.

Additionally, Liu Xing felt it was worth noting that on the Mountainside leading to the Immortal Crane Temple, there were bamboo forests on both the left and right. Behind the temple of the Immortal Crane Temple, there were also a few Peach Trees. The map also specifically marked that these Peach Trees were planted by that Taoist Priest back then, so the offerings used for every Harvest Festival would include peaches picked from these Peach Trees.

Liu Xing nodded silently. It seemed he had to find a way to get a peach.

"Alright, has everyone seen enough? I think we should go to the Commercial District on the right and watch that Harvest Festival performance first. It looks quite interesting," Tian Dao said, clapping his hands and smiling at everyone.

Everyone agreed without objection and began to move towards the Commercial District on the right... However, because Li Ming's leg was injured, a journey that would normally take one minute took them five minutes. After all, there were many NPCs at the Harvest Festival. If Li Ming wasn't escorted by Liu Xing and the others, it would truly be an arduous journey...

"Uh, I'm sorry everyone, for wasting your time because of me," Li Ming said, awkwardly rubbing his head.

"It's nothing, we're all friends," Tian Dao said with a smile, patting Li Ming's shoulder nonchalantly.

Liu Xing also nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, we're all friends now. How could we possibly abandon our friends and go play by ourselves?"

However, in his heart, Liu Xing made a silent decision: when it's time to let go, let go. He really didn't have any good way to help Li Ming, whose mobility was so low. After all, Liu Xing's physique and strength were not high, so he might not be able to carry Li Ming. Even if he could carry him, Liu Xing felt his agility would be halved.

And the Mythical Creatures in the Cthulhu Mythos tabletop RPG were far faster than humans. So, if there was a chase, Li Ming would likely be a goner. If he went to help Li Ming, he would probably suffer the same fate as Li Ming...

"Alright, the performance is starting," Tina said, looking at the stage not far away, which was already packed. The actors were in position.

Thus, the group stopped discussing and prepared to watch the Harvest Festival performance attentively to gather information about it.

The performance on stage reenacted how that Taoist Priest presided over the Harvest Festival back then. Liu Xing's focus was naturally on the items on the Offering Table.

"KP, I want to confirm what's on the Offering Table. Does this require a skill check?" Liu Xing actively contacted kpcao. After all, Liu Xing's current position was quite far from the stage, so even with his good eyesight, he couldn't determine what was on the Offering Table.

Kpcao thought for a moment and said, "You can, but all players now need to roll for Investigation to determine what's on the Offering Table."

Liu Xing, 33/40, Success.

Tian Dao, 61/70, Success.

Tina, 77/50, Failed.

Ming Shi Xiang, 47/40, Failed.

Li Ming, 56/55, Failed.

The moment the Investigation Roll succeeded, Liu Xing felt his vision sharpen. He clearly saw peaches, grapes, and bamboo shoots on the Offering Table.

Liu Xing exchanged a look with Tian Dao, who had also succeeded in his Investigation Roll. They both knew that the Clearance Items needed for this Harvest Festival were likely these three things.

After the performance ended, Liu Xing smiled and said, "Did you all see? The items needed for the Harvest Festival aren't the traditional Three Sacrificial Animals, but peaches, grapes, and bamboo shoots. It seems this Great Immortal has rather peculiar tastes."

Tian Dao then picked up Liu Xing's thread, "I don't think the Great Immortal's tastes are peculiar. Rather, the Taoist Priest back then probably used local ingredients. After all, didn't the map on the back of the Flyer mention that there's a Grape Arbor, bamboo forest, and Peach Tree around Immortal Crane Temple?"

Liu Xing chuckled. Tian Dao was indeed a reliable Teammate, and they cooperated seamlessly.

"Yes, I agree with Tian Dao's idea. Liu Xing, it's not good to speak ill of the Great Immortal like that," Tina said with a smile. Although Li Ming and Ming Shi Xiang didn't speak, they both looked at Liu Xing with amused smiles.

Liu Xing could only shrug in feigned helplessness and say, "Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay? But the performance is over now. Shall we go to the Grape Arbor in the Commercial District on the left? We might be able to eat fresh grapes there."

Everyone naturally understood Liu Xing's intention. Eating grapes was an excuse; obtaining them was the real goal. After all, grapes were one of the Clearance Items, and acquiring them now should be easy.

Just as Liu Xing was about to turn towards the Commercial District on the left, he noticed a cute Little Girl squatting by the roadside and crying. The NPCs passing by, however, seemed oblivious to her.

Liu Xing knew it was time to trigger the Main Quest for this module.
