Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Chapter 111: The Fall of Diamonds (2)

Silvia raised an eyebrow, unsure if it was the lingering effect of her earlier rapid conversation with Ai Mei, but she nodded and spoke, "Well, it's quite possible. After all, I've been in Blood Howl Town for over a month now, and I haven't heard anything about the purpose of these diamonds with the highest exchange value. Now, each of you needs five diamonds to leave this forsaken place, and it's essentially similar to our mission, requiring ten thousand points."

Liu Xing nodded in agreement. Silvia was right; at the core, both players and NPCs had similar missions. However, players didn't have as much time as NPCs to slowly accumulate points over one or two months.

"Currently, here's the situation with the five diamonds in Blood Howl Town. First, there's a friend of mine, her codename is 'Second Auntie.' She has a team of more than ten people with decent weapons and equipment. They are currently occupying a hotel room across from our bar, forming an alliance of sorts with us. As you may know, women are naturally drawn to diamonds, so Second Auntie claimed she wanted to research the specific effects of the diamonds, but as soon as she exchanged for one, she immediately turned it into a diamond ring."

"The second diamond is located to the north of Blood Howl Town, at the entrance to the graveyard, guarded by a team of tombkeepers led by someone named Jigu. He was the first player to exchange for a diamond, but I heard he spent over a month researching its effects and couldn't figure it out. He stashed the diamond away. If it hadn't cost him two thousand points, I believe Jigu would have simply thrown it away."

"As for the player who purchased the third diamond, his name is Sikong Yangbing, and he's now a wanted criminal. However, because he leads the largest player team in Blood Howl Town, with over twenty members, no one dares to confront him. His team occupies several houses next to the three-story stone building in the center of town, and they get priority on daily mission refreshes."

"As for the remaining two diamonds, one is still up for sale at the price of two thousand points. The other diamond has become an additional reward for a mission, but that mission is quite challenging, so no one has attempted it so far." Silvia shared all the information she knew.

After a moment of contemplation, Liu Xing realized that these were essentially the five missions in Blood Howl Town, each of which rewarded a diamond.

"Miss Silvia, could you please provide us with more detailed analysis on how we can obtain these five diamonds? We've just arrived in Blood Howl Town, and we're not familiar with the place," Ai Mei asked with a polite smile.

However, this time, Silvia didn't offer a direct response. Instead, she smiled and said, "My dear friends, I understand that you've just arrived in Blood Howl Town and are not familiar with the place. You indeed need..."

Silvia only spoke half of her words, but the meaning was crystal clear.

After all, before coming here, both Luo Cong and Xiao Liu had already invited Liu Xing's group to join their team.

Liu Xing turned to look at everyone, and they all silently nodded in agreement. Liu Xing understood their intentions and then addressed Silvia, "Miss Silvia, if you don't mind, could you accommodate us? As you mentioned, we're newcomers here, and we don't have much in terms of weapons and equipment. It's quite challenging to survive in this Blood Howl Town."

Silvia saw Liu Xing's willingness and nodded with a smile, patting her well-defined muscles. She said, "Of course, that's not a problem at all. The monsters and missions here are quite straightforward, but new players often lack adequate weapons and equipment, which is why the mortality rate is so high. However, now that you've joined my team, I'll make sure to provide you with a set of weapons and equipment. Just remember, from now on, you should call me 'little sister' instead of Miss Silvia!"

Liu Xing immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Little sister, you're absolutely right. We are now under your care, so could you provide some advice on how to obtain those diamonds?"

Silvia rubbed her chin, pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "Getting the diamond from Second Auntie won't be a problem. After all, we have a good relationship, and she's quite easy to talk to. Moreover, Second Auntie has a soft spot for Xiao Liu, so I'll have Xiao Liu help you retrieve that diamond. After all, that diamond is a matter of life and death for you, and Xiao Liu sacrificing a bit for the team is only fair."

"However, obtaining the diamond from Jigu might be a bit tricky because Jigu is a peculiar person. He often ventures into the graveyard for no apparent reason. But recently, I heard that Jigu has been publicly claiming that he needs a team of at least ten people to explore the graveyard. The graveyard is full of Ghouls, and they are exceptionally strong. So, despite Jigu's strong team, they find it challenging. With our team of eleven, we can easily accept this task. After assisting Jigu's team in exploring the graveyard, we can choose three items from Jigu's loot, including the diamond."

"Moreover, the mission that rewards the diamond also requires exploring the Ghoul's lair and obtaining a staff from deep within the nest. Jigu mentioned earlier that although he explores the graveyard and visits the Ghoul's lair, his goal is not the staff. He is willing to give the staff to the team that assists him. So, we can follow Jigu's team and try to get that staff."

"The most challenging part is Sikong Yangbing's diamond. This guy relies on his large and powerful team to act recklessly and domineer in Blood Howl Town. Therefore, trying to obtain the diamond from Sikong Yangbing through regular means will be exceedingly difficult."

Liu Xing nodded silently, beginning to digest the information provided by Silvia.
