Chapter 42: Dreamland Resort
Mu Sheng stepped out of his room and immediately glanced at the stairs leading up. Climbing these stairs would take him to the attic on the top floor, which surely contained information about the Yu family's secrets. But clearly, now was not a good time to go there.
Led by a servant, Mu Sheng walked toward his room. As he followed, he suddenly recalled the "Shu Cang" he had seen on the mountain earlier that day. On a whim, he thought that Yu Chao and Yu Yangxu seemed somewhat similar to Shu Cang. At least, in his current state, Mu Sheng couldn't immediately distinguish the differences between the three.
However, Yu Yangxu had a distinct smell. His younger brother smoked, and Mu Sheng had just noticed a sharp, high-quality tobacco scent. It wasn't unpleasant, but Mu Sheng wasn't used to it. As for Yu Chao, Mu Sheng never had the chance to detect his scent. Yu Chao was always a figure of attention, and he should have been in his study all morning.
So who could it be?
Mu Sheng had noticed a small detail earlier that made him suspicious of "Shu Cang". After Mu Sheng mentioned his eyes were uncomfortable, the immediate reaction was to advise him not to rub his eyes and to ask if he could see anything at all. This was quite strange.
Typically, when someone says their eyes are uncomfortable, the first reaction would be to assume something foreign got into the eyes. The direct leap from Mu Sheng's discomfort to suggesting he might be unable to see was odd. The person pretending to be Shu Cang must have known about Mu Sheng's eye problems.
Given that Mu Sheng had been in an accident and his vision sometimes failed, and considering that Shu Cang's physique was similar, the possibility of someone using a voice changer was high. Once these conditions were identified, the true identity of the impersonator should be apparent. But what was their purpose in pretending to be Shu Cang?
The servant had already led Mu Sheng to his room: "Second Young Master, we've arrived."
Mu Sheng, unable to see clearly, asked, "Could you please open the door for me?"
The servant was taken aback and said nervously, "It's really no trouble at all. I apologize, young master; it's my lack of attention. I will remember in the future."
Mu Sheng was surprised by the other person's words and recalled the purpose of "Shu Cang":
Could it be that they wanted to test whether he really couldn't see and whether he was truly Yu Mu Sheng?
Mu Sheng's expression remained unchanged: "It's fine, you can leave now."
He entered the room and sat at the table, reviewing the situation with a serious expression.
Had he revealed any significant flaws in front of anyone before, which led to others' suspicions?
The system, which rarely showed a hint of presence, said, 【Maybe it's not for this reason; I suggest the host consider another direction.】
Mu Sheng ignored it, furrowing his delicate brows as he continued to think.
The main task of this scenario was to survive for five days. According to the scenario's calculation method, yesterday didn't count; today was the first day.
The clue task was quite strange:
【Please find out the number of non-human entities in Area A of the Beautiful Dream Resort.】
Each player only had three chances to answer.
Area A of the Beautiful Dream Resort is easy to understand. The vast resort is actually divided into several sections, with Area A primarily designated for residents. It consists of standalone villas, and the people living there are all either wealthy or influential.
