Chapter 41 Dirty Building (5)

They said they were looking for water, but after going around and around, they still went to the street to buy two bottles of mineral water worth three yuan. They returned to the building and poured all the mineral water into the iron bucket. He Zhinian looked at the rippled water surface. Asked: "This should be okay, right?"

Sicheng looked up at the fourth floor and said hesitantly, "Maybe."

Xia Lingge leaned on the railing and looked down. The bucket filled with clean water sat quietly on the ground for a long time. She didn't see any movement in the iron bucket.

Shouldn't an obedient bucket come up by itself? Shouldn't she have to go down and pick it up herself? ? ?
She sighed and walked down with a vicissitude of steps, and then came up with a vicissitude of steps. When she put down the bucket and prepared to work, she suddenly questioned why she had to climb to the fourth floor. Wouldn't it be the same if she started working from the first floor? ?
Otherwise, she would carry the bucket back to the first floor again?
Xia Lingge hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up the idea, not for anything else, but mainly because she was too tired. She took off her large cotton-padded jacket, pulled off a few pieces of fabric and soaked them in water, then squatted on the ground and wiped them.

[Building cleanliness: 0.1%]

Xia Lingge straightened up and looked at the entire corridor from left to right, then looked at the [-]% on the progress board, and suddenly realized the viciousness of this game.

"Girl, what happened?"

The [-]% progress bar alarmed everyone. Chen Shu, Zhao Xiaohong and Fang Heli all ran up to her. Chen Shu was even more shocked when she saw the water in the iron bucket next to her: "Where did you get the water?" ?!”

Xia Lingge looked at it and replied honestly: "Call someone to ask for it."

"Looking for it from someone?!" Chen Shu seemed to not understand what she said. He frowned and thought hard, as if something happened that subverted his outlook on life. "No, it's not right... It shouldn't be like this..."

He stared straight at the bucket next to Xia Ling's singer: "There must be a trap here. How can things that are not in the game be used in the dungeon." He turned to look at Zhao Xiaohong and Fang Heli, "Let's continue digging the well, after all. That’s what the game provides us, so it’s definitely no problem.”

But neither Zhao Xiaohong nor Fang Heli moved.

Chen Shu waited for a long time and received no response. He rubbed his brows and sighed helplessly: "Okay, everyone has different ideas, so you can handle it yourself."

His figure disappeared.

Zhao Xiaohong frowned, turned to Xia Lingge and Fang Heli and asked, "Do you think this Chen Shu is a little strange?"

"I think." Fang Heli agreed, "I've obviously found a better way, but I still insist on my own way. I don't know what I think."

Zhao Xiaohong thought of something and said nervously: "Could it be that Chen Shu is fake... Didn't we say before that there would be some monster pretending to be a human and defrauding the players' trust?"

Fang Heli became nervous when she said this.

"No." Xia Lingge shook his head. "If it is really a monster in disguise, then he should unite with us now instead of insisting on digging a well."

Zhao Xiaohong frowned: "Then why is he acting so weird?"

Xia Lingge still shook her head: "It's better to complete the task first and return to reality as soon as possible. Don't worry about monsters or not." She raised her head and looked at them, "You can also call your relatives and friends. Just rely on me. I’m afraid it’s not enough for those two friends to support me.”

Zhao Xiaohong looked embarrassed: "I...I'm from another province. I don't have any relatives or friends here. I don't know who to hit."

Fang Heli also lowered his head hesitantly: "I'm not very popular, and I don't have many friends."

Xia Lingge: "..."

She looked at their embarrassed and flattering faces, and a voice suddenly came out in her mind, shouting, 'Leave them alone, leave them alone, they just want to enjoy the benefits and treat you like a thankless fool.'The clamor in her mind became louder and louder, making Xia Lingge frown slightly, but she knew clearly in her heart that it was not coming from her heart, but the bad roots embedded in the [props] began to take effect.

"It doesn't matter. Let's complete the task first."

Xia Lingge controlled her thoughts and spoke word by word. However, as soon as she finished speaking, the voice in her mind made an inaudible 'tsk' sound and then suddenly disappeared.

"Then let's start."

Zhao Xiaohong and Fang Heli didn't notice anything was wrong with her, so they gathered around the bucket and started cleaning the building. They worked hard, and they didn't know how long they kept cleaning before the progress bar above their heads started to change.

[Building cleanliness: 3%]

[Building cleanliness: 2.7%]

Xia Lingge/Zhao Xiaohong/Fang Heli: "???"

They looked at each other, and suddenly a shout of surprise came from downstairs: "We dug it! We dug it! We dug a short well!"

Chen Shu, holding a shovel and covered in dust, stood beside the mouth of a low well with sparkling eyes. He raised his hand to say hello to them, as if he had finally proven something.

But Zhao Xiaohong and Fang Heli looked at his somewhat crazy look and couldn't help but step back: "Girl, do you really think there is nothing wrong with him?"

Xia Lingge also became hesitant, "Let's go down and take a look first."

But one thing she did know was that not only the entire building, but also the small garden under the building was included in the cleanliness index. This was really shit.

When they came under the building, Chen Shu pointed out to them with a smile. It was a sunken well, as if it was built halfway and then abandoned, but was too lazy to refill it. The mouth of the well was only blocked with a flat stone. Chen Shu Shu and Fang Heli worked together to lift the flat stone, revealing the deep well mouth.

Fang Heli lowered his head and looked down. It was so dark in the well that he couldn't see anything clearly. He picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it down. He held his breath and heard a small "plop" sound.

"There is really water..." Fang Heli said with a surprised expression.

Zhao Xiaohong took the few remaining iron buckets, pulled off the strips of cloth from her coat, tied them together and twisted them into a rope, put them down, and then lifted them up. The water in the iron bucket was almost full.

"This is great." Zhao Xiaohong looked at the clear water and said with joy, "With the water now, it is only a matter of time before the task is completed."

Everyone's faces were filled with joy. Xia Lingge also raised his eyebrows and smiled, but his eyes dimmed when his eyes fell on the short well. Is it really that easy...

However, the other three people had already begun to work. Chen Shu picked up the iron bucket and walked in the front. Zhao Xiaohong and Fang Heli followed and waved to her at the same time. Xia Lingge looked away and responded, slowly walking over.

The well behind him was quiet, and the dark crows circled and flew down to the mouth of the well, screaming twice and pecking at their feathers. Suddenly, a sick and withered hand climbed up to the mouth of the well, frightening the crows away.

There is no time of day or night in the game. When they were exhausted, they returned to Room [-] to rest. This was also suggested by Chen Shu. He believed that Room [-] was the starting point of the game, and the starting point was always safe.
