Chapter 783 ON HIS WAY
NOW that Luo Yan knew the important things he needed to know, he finally had the chance to analyze the \'rules\' given to him.Third, a task would be given that they had to accomplish within a given time. Since a player could only remain inside the game for six hours, it\'s safe to say that the time frame that would be given to them would not exceed \'six days\'.
Fourth, if they were killed then mission fail. But even so, the world would still continue on until either all of them died or the task was finished. And lastly, they couldn\'t use their abilities or their Status Window for that matter. Even their stats were now all negligible.
What Luo Yan found most unfair here was the fourth \'rule\'. Since there was a rule like this, there probably would be a series of murders in Magnolia Manor. If people started to die one by one and they didn\'t know who was who, no matter if one of them accomplished the task, the dungeon clearing would still be a failure.
Something like that was just too frustrating. Spending so much effort to succeed in something and yet finding out you failed at the end, that could give anyone a trauma. If they could at least know who each other was, then that would be a different matter altogether. Things would at least be much easier. But no, this Arcadia, we need to make things harder – said the game devs.
Luo Yan truly wanted to just raise his middle finger.
Now, let\'s look closer to his current identity – James Payton. It\'s not really that hard to play such a character. A charismatic gentleman who solved crimes as his job. Since he only had a mild OCD, that\'s also easy to fake. He just needed to be a bit fussy regarding patterns and cleanliness.
If he managed to successfully play a courtesan, then playing an OCD detective should not be so hard. He\'s just grateful that he didn\'t need to play a woman again. He couldn\'t exactly say the same for his other team mates. After all, these game devs loved to gender bend.
Which was a big cause for worry. Both Shen Ji Yun and Luo Jin were not good actors. If they had to play women on top of that, they might not even last for a day before they were discovered as fakes. Hopefully, that wouldn\'t be the case and they all passed this until the end of the time limit.
But just to make sure, it would probably be better to finish this task as fast as possible to decrease the mistakes.
Speaking of task, he still hadn\'t received one. If it didn\'t appear here, it would probably appear once he arrived at the Magnolia Manor.
A letter was sent to the role he was playing. It didn\'t have much information. Just telling him to go there because he would find an interesting case. Luo Yan actually found it stupid that this guy would actually go there just because he was bored. Showing that he was quite an eccentric on his own right.
Now that he had organized everything in his mind, the next step would just to wait until he arrived at Magnolia Manor.
In the meantime, he should probably solve one thing that\'s been bothering him ever since he found out that the setting of this world was 1930s England. The language. He wasn\'t sure about the other, but he for one couldn\'t speak straight English. Wouldn\'t that quickly give him away as a fake?
But then again, the game devs would have surely taken that into account. It\'s either they would be able to speak fluent English in a perfect British accent or everyone would speak in Chinese and they would just have to pretend that they were speaking in English.
In his opinion, the probability of the latter being correct had a higher possibility.
To test it out, he called the waiter passing by.
"Do you need anything, sir?" the waiter asked.
Luo Yan smiled in that perfect gentlemanly manner. The other just spoke in fluent Chinese. So, his guess was correct. He didn\'t need to worry how to speak then. But his speech pattern should change since he\'s playing a noble and gentlemanly detective.
"Yes, another cup of tea, please," he said.
"Certainly, sir."
After he drank his tea, Luo Yan went back to his first-class cabin according to the memory he received from this NPC. Sitting down comfortably, he simply waited.
-----
An hour later, the train finally arrived at Andover. Knowing that this was his stop, Luo Yan got off the train with his small suitcase and a cane. The latter was pretty expensive looking. Seeing as how the top of the cane was bejeweled by a ruby no less.
After he got off the train station, he walked straight out. It was said in the letter that someone would be waiting for him outside the station. This person would bring him to Magnolia Manor.
Sure enough, the moment he stepped outside, a man wearing a chauffeur\'s uniform walked up to him. It was a middle-aged man who had this somber expression on his face.
"Mr. Payton?"
"Yes, it is I," Luo Yan answered. "Are you the one sent from Magnolia Manor?"
"Indeed, sir. Saunders the name," the man said tipping off his hat at him. Luo Yan did the same to acknowledge the other. "The car is this way, sir."
Saunders then took his suitcase from him before guiding him to where the car was parked.
Arriving at the car, Saunders put his luggage on the trunk before opening the door for him. He got inside and sat on the backseat. After Saunders sat on the driver\'s seat and started the engine, Luo Yan was finally on his way to Magnolia Manor.
