Chapter 713: Chapter 286 Death Castle: I Became an NPC? [10,000 Words]_6
As for the invitation of a lower grade, it was not as much of a concern.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng tore the red and black invitation to shreds.
Instantly, a Transmission Array rose beneath Mu Rufeng’s feet, and he vanished on the spot.
————————
When Mu Rufeng regained consciousness, he found himself in a room.
He observed his surroundings, noting the room’s grim and somber character. Despite the electric light being on, the room still seemed somewhat dim.
As if the light could not be displayed correctly.
The room was not small, measuring two hundred square meters.
The room was rather long and narrow, with the door located in the middle section.
To the left of the door was a space resembling a study, with an old-fashioned Western desk.
On the desk were numerous ornaments and a book.
Surprisingly, the book was in English.
Behind the desk on the wall stood a bookshelf, crammed with books.
The wall on the left featured a European fireplace, while the right had a window, though the window was sealed with wooden boards.
Looking to the right of the door, there was the bedroom.
Between the study and the bedroom was a seating area with sofas and some collectible ornaments.
It was at this moment that a notification sound emerged in Mu Rufeng’s mind.
[Entered instance: Death Castle]
[Instance type: Special Multiplayer]
[Number of participants: Thirty]
[Role type: NPC Guide]
[Clearance task: Please lead the completion of the instance in Death Castle]
"Hmm? NPC Guide?" Mu Rufeng was slightly taken aback.
This was his first encounter with this type of instance.
His role was not that of a participating player but as a Guide NPC within the instance.
This meant that in this instance, Mu Rufeng’s task was to lead the Contractors to complete the instance’s content so that he too could return.
"That’s rather interesting, quite interesting indeed," said Mu Rufeng, stroking his chin with a smile on his face.
After waiting a while and no further notifications appeared, Mu Rufeng started looking for some clues around the room.
Although he was an NPC now, a complete lack of instructions would leave Mu Rufeng somewhat puzzled.
Soon, Mu Rufeng found a note beneath the book on the desk.
[Butler’s Notes]
1. Your name is Dorgula Sen.
2. You are the butler of Death Castle.
3. Please note that the thirty players coming to the castle to participate in the Death Game will arrive at the entrance on time at seven o’clock in the evening, and you are to receive them.
4. You can be attacked by players; if you die, all players will exceptionally clear the instance.
5. You are to decide the rules and gameplay of the Death Game.
6. You cannot favor any player; ensure fairness and impartiality.
7. Do not open the windows, never open the windows.
8. Some areas inside the castle are very dangerous.
9. Please ensure that at least one fireplace is burning in the castle.
10. When more than three fireplaces are lit, you may go anywhere in the castle.
11. There is no time limit for this Death Game, but you may impose one.
12. You need to prepare food and rooms for the participating players. You may offer these free of charge or charge them.
13. Fighting is not prohibited inside the castle, but you had better restrict them from fighting.
14. Remember, in the Death Game, there must be players eliminated and killed in every round.
15. Remember, absolutely do not let the players enter your room.
The note had many words, a total of fifteen rules.
Mu Rufeng read them meticulously and then memorized them in his mind.
"I really hadn’t expected that I would even have to make up the game; wouldn’t that mean those who die are killed by me?" It suddenly occurred to Mu Rufeng.
But soon, Mu Rufeng shrugged his shoulders—it was none of his business whether they lived or died; after all, he was just participating in the instance.
The most important aspect was that the instance was clearly a foreign one, as his name was Dorgula Sen.
A foreigner’s name and an Ancient Castle meant it was definitely a western instance.
Mu Rufeng also knew that in the future, when entering an instance, he might participate with Contractors from other countries.
Thus, Mu Rufeng took advantage of the time he had in the coming days to learn all the languages of the world.
With his current abilities, he could easily understand and integrate this knowledge. Therefore, except for some very obscure languages, Mu Rufeng now knew them.
He could even speak with the accent identical to the natives.
For foreign Contractors, Mu Rufeng would not care too much.
Mu Rufeng glanced at the floor clock in front of him; the time was already six-thirty.
The Butler’s Notes mentioned that the remaining thirty players would arrive at seven o’clock.
That meant he had half an hour left.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng began to search the room.
He didn’t find too many useful things but discovered a set of keys in a drawer.
The attributes of the keys indicated that this set of keys was for all the locks in the castle.
There was also a key placed separately alongside them, which was the key to his room.
Mu Rufeng promptly placed them in his Item Slot.
Then, Mu Rufeng approached the fireplace.
Inside the fireplace was nothing, not even a piece of wood—only a pile of black ash.
There was also a set of instructions for using the fireplace.
[To light the fireplace, please insert soul banknotes. Every ten thousand soul banknotes will burn for one hour, alternatively, you may use a body, which will burn for one day]
"You can use soul banknotes?" chuckled Mu Rufeng.
He then took out one million soul banknotes and threw them into the fireplace.
As soon as the soul banknotes hit the fireplace, they ignited instantly.
The black ash slowly engulfed the soul banknotes.
Flames continued to rise above the black ash.
