Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Outrageous Players
Translator: 549690339
“Ah!” Seeing the red-cloaked figure that fell in front of her, Camille Victoria was very surprised, and she greeted them as she approached, “Hello, are you also a player?”
As soon as she finished speaking, with a ‘dong’, she emitted a ring of resonating white light.
The red cloak in front of her also resonated with a ‘dong’.
“Um…” Camille Victoria was a little confused and tried to ask, “How did you get your mask? Can you take it off so we can get to know each other?” As soon as she finished speaking, with a ‘dong’, she resonated once again.
The red cloak in front of her also resonated in response.
Camille Victoria started to understand and changed her address to the audience, saying, “It seems that this red cloak can’t hear me. No matter what I say, it will be transformed into a resonance. I think the same goes for what they say. It seems that this game limits players’ communication.”
“There wasn’t this restriction during the closed beta. Everyone could see each other’s faces and the dialogue was smooth. Why add this restriction now?” Camille Victoria was a bit puzzled, but soon she had an idea, “But this won’t stump me. The planner has underestimated me! I can’t stop now. After I’m done sliding, I’ll show you how to break through the planner’s restrictions!”
Having said that, she threw away all distractions and started to enjoy sand sliding.
The players watched Camille Victoria sliding in the sand with ease, guessing randomly.
“Is this really a player? Maybe it’s an NPC.”
“A dedicated game partner for the level? Is this the mercy of the planner?”
“It’s quite possible. Look, she got the console for Cloud Dream so quickly, had it delivered to her home equally fast, and made such swift progress in this level.
It’s highly unlikely! I think it’s mostly an NPC!”
“Ah, should we remind the anchor? I guess she probably wants to write in the sand to communicate. ”
“Ah, that’s really a genius idea, most people probably can’t think of that.”
Camille Victoria had no time to pay attention to the comments. She was completely immersed in the wonderful experience of the beautiful scenery, music, and sprinting, and she “whooshed” through the stone doors one after another.
Until the red cloak next to her suddenly resonated, and then turned away from her, she followed unconsciously and also emitted a resonance to call for her little partner.
However, the little partner was moving too fast, and all she could do was try to catch up from behind.
Soon she understood why the little partner left her, because a glowing rune was on a broken stone platform, and she had to leave the quicksand to get it. The little partner had successfully obtained the rune due to her early direction adjustment.
However, Camille Victoria realized a bit late. Under the accelerated speed brought by the continuous dive, she simply couldn’t stop and crashed into a stone pillar. She was bounced off a meter away and then continued to move down at high speed with the quicksand and inertia.
“Ah—” Camille Victoria wasn’t in pain, but she was heartbroken watching the rune moving away from her.
Even if the little partner rejoined her, she couldn’t be happy and started to vent her frustration by bumping into the red cloak.
After passing through a corridor, they slowly fell and landed on a protruding stone platform in mid-air, obtaining the rune here.
Camille Victoria just started speaking to the audience, “OK, we can stop here now. I will demonstrate the trick to communicate when we can’t talk.”
However, the little partner beside her did not jump down to the open courtyard, but directly flapped the cloak and took off from the spot, flying towards the distant high wall.
Camille Victoria was stunned, “Is he trying to skip the puzzle of this level?”
Before she could think too much, she also took off to catch up and help replenish energy. However, because she started late, she couldn’t catch up and saw the red cloak fly to the high wall.
However, due to a lack of energy, she fell into the courtyard.
“Ah! So annoying!” Camille Victoria vented by pounding the ground.
She looked up and saw the figure with the red cloak peeking at her from the high platform and giving her a ‘dong’ resonance sound.
“Is this guy mocking me?” Camille Victoria seemed confused.
But soon she realized that wasn’t the case because the red robe jumped down and came back to her side to help her solve the puzzle.
Camille Victoria jumped with joy again, running around the red cloak while sending out ‘dong dong dong’ resonances nonstop.
However, she didn’t forget her job. She quickly squatted down and began to write in the sand, “Hello, my name is…”
But as soon as the words were written, the delicate sand automatically blended together, leaving no trace at all.
She tried again, slowly writing in the air and on the ground, and the red-cloaked figure on the other side did the same, but all attempts were declared a failure—they saw each other’s strokes as scrambled.
This kind of simple loophole, of course, Lincoln had plugged. Communication? It won’t happen until the second round!
Camille Victoria felt a bit awkward, and the comments started rolling in, “I am unstoppable,” “the planner is too naive,” and so on.
Ignoring what had just happened, she quickly switched topics and explained,
“That was just a standard try, my idea is—sign language!”
After finishing her sentence, she competently demonstrated some sign language.
She had participated in volunteer work at schools for the hearing impaired many times, and learned sign language for convenience due to frequently needing it.
Feeling slightly proud at this moment, it’s good to have many skills, learning an additional language always comes in handy.
However, she was too busy trying to ease her own embarrassment, that she overlooked the fact—the person on the other side does not know sign language…
The atmosphere once again turned awkward.
The comments transformed into a sea of amusement.
Camille Victoria was considering whether to act like nothing happened, explore for murals, and activate some mechanisms, or not.
At this moment, the red-cloaked figure on the other side began to resonate with a “thud thud thud.’
? Camille Victoria found it strange, “What’s he trying to do?”
But someone in the comments noticed, “This rhythm! Is this Morse code?!”
“Thud, thud, thud, thud”—The little red figure resonated rapidly four times then took a small leap.
“Thud”—lt took another leap.
“Thud, thud—Thud, thud”—Another leap.
“Thud—Thud—Thud—” Three long resonations, another leap.
Camille Victoria was stunned, the person on the other side really didn’t know sign language, but she didn’t know Morse code either!
Fortunately, her live streaming room had a huge crowd, with many experts among the audience. There were naturally people who knew Morse code and soon someone provided the answer.
Camille Victoria quickly nodded to show she understood.
So the red-robed figure in front of her continued.
The comments translated one by one.
“Alright,” sighed Camille Victoria, “You spent all this effort just to greet me.
Well, hello to you too.”
But the little red figure didn’t stop there, it continued to resonate persistently.
After much effort, the comments helped Camille Victoria decode this password as well, realizing it was a string of numbers.
“Is this a phone number?” Camille Victoria was somewhat puzzled.
The almighty viewers once again came to the rescue: “Found it! This is a UID from Little Video Station! It’s this person’s account!”
Camille Victoria didn’t know how to react. She could only follow the viewers’ guide, pulling out her control panel visible only to her, linking her external account, and then searching for this red-cloaked figure’s UID…
One of the comments reflected her current thoughts, “Add friends through Morse code?? Are these players, and you audience, too exaggerated?!”
