    Hearing the knock on the door, Xiao Lan quickly got up. Instead of wearing that troublesome dress to take care of, he directly changed into the one he wore when he entered the game, washed casually, and left the room with Luo.

    At the door, Xiao Lan noticed that Luo had been staring at the door next to him. The room on his left was Luo, and the one on the right was an unknown player.

    "What's wrong?" Xiao Lan asked, looking towards the area where Luo's eyes could reach.

    At this glance, found that there was a gray-white mark on the door, which was a bit large in size and irregular in shape. It was difficult to judge at a glance what was left behind.

    Luo stretched out his hand and touched the mark, leaving a white mark on his glove.

    He said to Xiao Lan: "This is lead powder, which was used by women in the past to make up, which can make the skin tone pale and white in line with the aesthetics of the time."

    "Such makeup is popular among the aristocracy. The nobles generally believe that only laborers have dark skin, and pale skin is a symbol of status."

    "Lead? Isn't that stuff poisonous?" Xiao Lan admired women's courage to pursue beauty in the past.

    Now that know that this is used on the face, it is still favored by nobles. Xiao Lan looked at the mark on the door again. The more she looked, the more she felt that it looked like a face stuck on the door. Because the area was too large and the structure looked different from ordinary people, there was no immediate recognize.

    In this manor, there is only one person with such a big face and a different structure.

    That is to say, after the players returned to the room, Mrs. Bella once came to the door of one of them and clinged to the door to eavesdrop on the movement in the room, but the players were unaware of it.

    It's so weird.

    Mrs. Bella's footsteps were so heavy that if she appeared in the corridor, how could no one hear the player. Did Mrs. Bella have a way to cover her footsteps, or was there something wrong with the players' rooms?

    "Luo, did you feel any unusual movement?" Xiao Lan asked.

    Luo shook his head: "No, everything is normal in the room I am in."

    He stayed in Xiao Lan's room the whole time, and there really was nothing wrong in it. As for the others, he didn't care.

    Since there was no clue now, Xiao Lan had no choice but to knock on the player's door and tell him what happened at his door in the other's lingering eyes.

    As for whether the player will suffer from insomnia, it is not up to him.

    After that, Xiao Lan planned to go to the kitchen first. It would be best if he could find what the servants had to eat. If he couldn't, he would just look for the ingredients that had been stored up. These basic ingredients would not be taken by Mrs. Bella as well.

    Xiao Lan and Luo slowly went down to the first floor avoiding the maid who was on duty at night. They searched the first floor and finally found the location of the suspected kitchen.

    However, just as they approached the kitchen, singing came from the closed kitchen door.

    It's a love song about the love of your sweetheart.

    The singing is melodious, the tune is mellow, and the person who sings has a beautiful voice. In conscience, this song sounds really wonderful.

    With the sound of the kitchen utensils colliding inside, one can imagine that a woman who is good at singing is preparing a meal for her beloved. It should be a warm picture.

    However, Xiao Lan recognized the voice, it was - Mrs. Bella.

    The current situation is that Mrs. Bella is singing and carrying out her dark cooking career in the kitchen, looking very happy.

    Xiao Lan on the other side is not so happy. Madam, is your enthusiasm for dark cooking a little too high? Don't you want to waste your sleep time?

    Through the crack of the door, Mrs. Bella's broad shadow was faintly visible. It seemed that the plan to visit the kitchen tonight could only be put on hold temporarily.

    Changing direction, they started looking for the location of the warehouse.

    The location of the warehouse is not hidden, and the door is also very conspicuous. Although there is a lock on the door, this old-fashioned lock is not difficult for Xiao Lan at all. After a few seconds, they entered the warehouse.

    Fortunately, this warehouse happens to be used to store ingredients.

    Along with the food, there are two other figures, Wang Teddy and Wang Ke. The two of them were squatting together, motionless around what looked like a pot, and turned around together after hearing the sound of the door opening.

    "Xiao Lan! Fei Luo!" The expression on Wang Taidi's face was like seeing a savior. He put down the suspicious looking black object and waved towards the two of them.

    Wang Ke also turned his head and nodded to them as a greeting.

    Xiao Lan greeted them, and at the same time a little puzzled, what is this for?

    When he got closer, he realized that there were more than one pots in front of the two brothers Wang Taidi. Four or five identical pots were lying on top of each other, and they were all black and unknown objects.

    It looks like a tragic rollover scene.

    Wang Teddy's eyes flashed with hope: "Xiao Lan, can you cook?"

    With the earnest expectation of Wang Teddy, Xiao Lan took over the task of cooking. Only then did he know that these seemingly identical pots are actually props, and their only function is to cook without fire, but the final product depends entirely on the skill of the cook.

    Watching Xiao Lan skillfully cut the ingredients into the pot, Wang Teddy's face was full of relief.

    His brother's cooking skills were his childhood nightmare. He didn't expect that after entering the game, because of the variety of ingredients, his brother's cooking has evolved, and it can be called an alchemist's experiment.

    Taking advantage of the cooking time, Xiao Lan casually chatted with him: "How did you get in? I just saw that the door was locked and there were no traces."

    Wang Teddy pointed to the window at the top of the warehouse: "The window came in."

    Xiao Lan looked up and saw that a piece of glass had been forcibly removed from the window that was high off the ground.

    Xiao Lan was a little curious: "Will you receive a system prompt when you open the windows?"

    Wang Teddy thought for a while: "Do you mean to increase the boss's attention to that? This level of damage is actually quite safe, especially since the manor is so large, it may require several floors to be demolished to attract Mrs. Bella's attention."

    There is no mention of poverty value at all. It seems that Xiao Lan is the only one who will receive poverty value prompts. It seems that other players will not become poor by destroying items.

    "What do you think this game prompt means? It doesn't seem like we really want us to seduce Mrs. Bella." Xiao Lan suddenly thought of this.

    Wang Taidi stared at the pot and said without blinking: "Boss's prompts are sometimes traps. The more you get to the later stage, the fewer bosses can give you clear prompts. When you don't give clear prompts, you need to determine based on clues."

    Xiao Lan nodded thoughtfully.

    It didn't take long for Xiao Lan's dishes to be ready, and he divided the dishes into the bowls that Wang Ke brought, and he immersed himself in eating.

    Wang Teddy looked at the mush in the bowl and fell into thinking and doubting about life and the universe. What just happened? Is this any different from what Mrs Bella did? If you can hide on the first day of the new year but not on the fifteenth day, the one who should come still has to come.

    No, no, how can a person be so shallow? You can't just look at the appearance of food, maybe it's super delicious? Wang Teddy plucked up the courage to scoop a spoonful of the unknown object in the bowl and put it into his mouth.

    Three seconds later, Wang Teddy's eyes straightened, and he suddenly felt that Mrs. Bella's dinner was not so scary anymore.

    Poverty has tempered Xiao Lan's ability to survive, but it has obviously not illuminated his cooking skills, and may have robbed him of his sense of taste.

    Wang Ke ate so fast that his face did not change color, but his hand holding the bowl was so hard that blue veins appeared.

    Only Luo finished his bowl gracefully, and smiled at Xiao Lan: "It's delicious."

    Human food is really very special. It can be turned into something completely unrelated to raw materials after simple cooking. Mr. Luo, who was eating human food for the first time, thought so.

    Then, he received the admiring eyes of the other two.

    Dude, you're a ruthless man!

    After eating this imaginative dinner, the four left the warehouse.

    Because of the early sleep, Xiao Lan didn't feel sleepy now, so he and Luo and the Wang brothers started to move in the manor.

    It was already late at night, and the entire manor was silent, falling into silence, only the occasional figure of a maid walking by with a candlestick in the corridor flashed by.

    A dimly lit room caught their attention.

    After approaching, they found that in the room was the serious-looking housekeeper who received the player before. The housekeeper was still meticulously dressed, and there was no sign of a messy bun on her head.

    The housekeeper seemed to be studying something, lying on the table and carefully writing and drawing, but there was only a faint candlelight in the room, and they were far apart, so they couldn't see what was inside at all.

    The identity of the housekeeper is very important to the manor, and what she is writing may be a key clue.

    Xiao Lan whispered: "Luo... Fei Luo, can your skills detect what the butler is writing?"

    He almost forgot the fake name Lowe used to face the player, Philo.

    Luo immediately understood what Xiao Lan meant, he nodded: "Yes."

    He stretched out his black gloved hand and pressed it lightly on the wall. A black shadow invisible to the brothers of the Wang family spread into the room, gradually covering the writing in front of the housekeeper, and quickly retracted after a while.

    During the whole process, the housekeeper didn't notice, and she even took time to drink a cup of coffee.

    "It's the drawing of the manor," Luo said. "It seems like it's being renovated here."

    Xiao Lan: "Is there anything unusual in it?"

    Luo recalled for a moment: "There is a room with a fork. It should be a very good room in terms of size and location. It may have belonged to people with relatively high status."

    Xiao Lan: "In such a large manor, an entire family usually lives. But there is only Madam Bella as the owner here, which seems very strange. Could it be that there were originally many people living here, and that room was originally owned by the owner? "

    Wang Teddy raised his hand: "I think it is very possible, and have you noticed that not only there is no other master here, but there is not even a male servant."

    Servants...they might be right beside you, Xiao Lan remembered the maid who seemed to have an Adam's apple in the cloakroom.

    Xiao Lan turned to ask Luo: "Can you re-draw what you just saw?"

    Luo nodded: "No problem."

    Several people quietly returned to the floor where the player was, and they entered Luo's room.

    Luo found a pen and paper, lit the candlestick on the table, and drew the drawing that he had just seen, stroke by stroke.

    Wang Teddy gave a like: "Feluo, you are amazing!"

    Luo smiled: "It's nothing, it's just related to my skills."

    He deliberately did not go into great detail, only categorizing his abilities as skills. Wang Teddy will not ask, after all, for players, skills are related to their own lives, and most people do not want to be known, except for Wang Teddy, who revealed his old bottom.

    Xiao Lan proposed to go to the room to investigate.

    Wang Teddy nodded in agreement.

    Wang Ke just watched them without saying a word, and didn't interfere with his younger brother's game choices. It was like watching him grow and only intending to take action at critical times.

    According to the guidance of the drawings, several people came to a corridor.

    There is only one gorgeous wall where the room is on the drawing, but the location of this wall is really strange. The corridor is narrowed out of thin air, and the pattern is very strange.

    Xiao Lan stretched out his hand to buckle the wall, and what he heard from his hand was a solid touch of the wall, but judging from the sound, the wall was not thick. It seems that this room is still sealed with masonry, which is troublesome.

    Originally Xiao Lan thought that the room was just locked, and then he could easily unlock it and enter the door. But if the masonry is to be broken, the wall must be destroyed, which will make a loud noise, and unless the entire manor is deaf, it is impossible for them to sneak in.

    Seeing Xiao Lan frowning, Wang Teddy asked, "What's wrong?"

    Xiao Lan said: "The sound of destroying this wall is too loud, and it is estimated that many people will be alarmed."

    Wang Teddy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "No problem, look at me."

    After saying that, he closed his eyes and looked for it in his storage props. After a while, a pot-like prop appeared in Wang Taidi's hand. He said to Xiao Lan, "This should be fine. No Yinluo. After it grows, the sound in the area it covers will be completely isolated."

    Wang Teddy put the soundless vine next to the wall, tapped the flower pot lightly, and the transparent light green vine trembled instantly, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, climbing on the wall, and finally breaking through the wall The limit grows into the air.

    After a while, the space where Xiao Lan and the others were located was surrounded by it, like a transparent cocoon, a leaf swept the back of Xiao Lan's hand lightly, but did not bring any sense of touch.

    Seeing Xiao Lan looking at Muyin Luo, Wang Taidi explained: "This is a plant without a body. It only has the effect of sound insulation. It is a very common prop in an intermediate field."

    Thinking of the storage space that she had nothing but envelopes and timekeeping notes, Xiao Lan felt a gap between free players and kryptonite players.

    Wang Ke stepped forward, a blood-red long knife appeared in his hand, facing the wall, he took the posture of drawing the knife and slashing.

    "Wait." Xiao Lan hurriedly stopped him, "I'll come, I can pass through walls."

    Demolish the wall! This is a good opportunity to earn Poverty Points justifiably!

    Thinking of the experience of getting Poverty Points by tearing down a brick in the last dungeon, and then looking at this gorgeous and alluring wall, Xiao Lan's heart was hot.

    Wang Ke put away the knife without saying a word and walked aside.

    Seeing that Wang Teddy was still standing by the wall, Xiao Lan raised her hand to indicate, "Teddy, go farther, the power of wall penetration is stronger."

    "Oh." Wang Teddy took small steps and ran behind his brother, waiting to see through the wall.

    I saw Xiao Lan took a few steps back, trotted and sprinted to speed up, then jumped up and kicked the wall.

    "Boom—"

    The wall collapsed, revealing the delicate wooden door inside.

    Wang Teddy, who was hiding behind his brother: "..."

    It's still a fucking physics skill...
