When he was young, he would explain his feelings to his master. Later, when he grew up, he realized that there were some things that no matter how much he said, it was useless, because others were not him and could never truly empathize with him.
Having just suffered a blow from his master yesterday, Wen Zheng was naturally disgusted by this topic, but unexpectedly, these netizens offered him some comfort.
Wen Zheng's mood improved considerably, and he even joked, "With a cat, of course you don't need to make friends."
-? ? ?
Is this still Z University? Did that cat use evil magic to switch out our Z University?
Cats are terrifying... Even someone as hardcore a cat hater as Z has succumbed to their charms...
When Dahei was mentioned, Wen Zheng finally had something to say.
As he fumbled for the light switch in the unfamiliar corridor, he said, "Big Black is cute and will eat the things I make. But it doesn't like fish soup."
As the lights came on, the shape of a semi-circular hall became apparent.
It looked like another examination room, much larger than the small room from before. In the center of the hall, on the left side, were three identical examination chairs, and there was another door facing the corridor.
"Fish soup... that's the gold medal fish soup. Clara endorses it. Yeah, it's very expensive."
The door had no keyhole, no obvious lock, and no password field; clearly, certain conditions had to be met to open it.
The comments section was filled with discussions about the signature fish soup; almost everyone said it was really good and their cats loved it...
“Dahei really didn’t like it and wouldn’t eat a single bite,” Wen Zheng emphasized. “Later, I made chicken meatballs for it, and then it ate them.”
Comments: …………
I'm impressed.
My cat gets to eat the premium fish soup once a week as a reward, while everyone else's cat gets to eat homemade cat food every meal.
-Gold Medal Fish Soup? What's that? Does it contain Z's deep affection?
-[Waving.gif] I also want to be Z's cat.
Wen Zheng walked around the hall for a while but didn't see any particularly obvious clues, so he focused his attention back on the puzzle.
The examination chair in the old, run-down room looked like it was about to break down, but the one here is much newer and cleaner.
The accessories next to the mouthwash station are also complete: a tool rack with tweezers, a hammer, a hook, a small drill, and a saliva suction device.
Wen Zheng picked them up one by one and checked them. There were no hidden mechanisms; they were all quite ordinary.
Suddenly, Wen Zheng frowned, faintly hearing footsteps.
He gently put down the small drill he was holding and slipped behind the innermost examination chair.
-Oh my god, I'm so nervous!
- Can I hide here? I remember that to avoid monsters, you need to hide in a confined space.
-Actually, as long as the other person can't see you, it's fine. Are you a new fan up ahead? Z is really good at dodging this; he can move and dodge at the same time!
The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground gradually became clearer. If the audience had a god's-eye view, they could see a zombie wearing a white coat slowly walking into the semi-circular hall.
Wen Zheng squatted down silently, entering a state of extreme stillness, as if even his breathing and heartbeat had entered another dimension.
He couldn't see the zombies, but he could accurately move to places out of their sight by listening to their footsteps.
Curtains, desk, green plants on the floor, cabinet against the wall.
The zombie strolled around leisurely, and finally left two minutes later. As it disappeared into the corridor entrance, a faint "ding" sound could be heard.
-…………I was terrified
-Z, may we speak now?
I didn't dare breathe properly just now, and I only realized how suffocated I was when I started typing; my face turned purple.
In the everyday world of "Living Space," all the bosses are depicted as zombies and ghosts, while in fantasy games they are mostly bird-like and fish-like monsters.
The monsters are the same, but the different outfits represent different identities in different dungeons.
For example, in this instance, the zombies are wearing white coats, which means they are dentists.
Wen Zheng walked to the spot where the zombies had disappeared, where there was a small brass key on the ground. The sound he had just heard was the key falling to the ground.
"I have the key. Several drawers and cabinets are locked, try it."
Someone asked Z why he wasn't fighting monsters today, and Wen Zheng mumbled, "I'm in a good mood, so I won't torture it."
When I tried the third drawer, the key clicked shut, and it could obviously be turned.
Open the drawer, and there lies a pink notebook, which must be the key prop.
Open the book, and you'll see a line of large text on the title page that almost fills the entire page, as if afraid you won't read it—[Susan's Diary].
“Hmm…” Wen Zheng said, “I’ve realized how important it is.”
- Hahahaha, it feels like he's saying: Look at me! Look at me!
-Important items should be displayed in very large font.
- Here it comes! We're going to save Susan! The clues in this instance are pretty clear!
Wen Zheng opened his diary.
May 15, 2019, Weather: Sunny.
My name is Susan, and today, my mother cruelly sent me to Wayne Dental Clinic.
Uncle Wayne, the dentist, is a terrible and cruel man. I'm terrified of him.
I saw him put tweezers and a drill into people's mouths, and those people screamed in pain.
Cruel Uncle Wayne, cruel Mom, cruel world.
I hid all those cruel instruments of torture.
Uncle Wayne looked very anxious.
I finally escaped! Hehe.
The page numbers at the back of the diary were glued on. Wen Zheng held up this page for a moment so that the audience could see it clearly.
The barrage of comments is truly cruel.
“Hide the tools, and the door will open,” Wen Zheng concluded, then sighed very softly.
So annoying.
I wanted to smash the examination table.
Wen Zheng's least favorite part of puzzle games is finding things.
Some mechanisms are really inconspicuous, and the hints often flash by. A patient person can feel every inch of a table to find where there is a small protrusion that is an anti-human switch.
But he couldn't. Every time Wen Zheng needed to find something, he felt like he was going to explode on the spot.
But it's still in single-threaded mode, so Wen Zheng can only figure it out in silence.
First, there's a groove at the bottom of the drawer that was just opened, which fits the hook perfectly. Then, there's a notice on the side of the cabinet. After tearing off the notice, there's a hole where you can put a small drill bit.
Wen Zheng carefully put away the tools one by one, but there was only one pair of tweezers left, and he couldn't find where to put it no matter what he did.
He took a deep breath, then another, and sat down on the middle examination chair with his legs apart, looking utterly desolate.
Don't speak, let me have some peace and quiet.
-Z is so pitiful.
Why are you making things so difficult for him?!
- I feel sorry for Z Da every time I see him looking for something alone, but looking for something is really frustrating...
-I really wanted to tell Z where to put it...but...
Don't say anything, it hurts me.
Generally, once a device has been used, it is not reused. For example, a drill bit is put into a cabinet, a hook into a drawer, and a saliva extractor into a planter pot.
The hall was spacious, but there weren't many items. Even the most anti-human game wouldn't place mechanisms out of reach, otherwise it would defeat the purpose of solving the puzzle.
Of all the "furniture," the only one that hasn't been used to hide anything is the examination chair.
However, on the one hand, the tools were taken from beside the examination chair, and Wen Zheng was unsure whether the chair counted as the "starting point." On the other hand, there was a chandelier overhead that he hadn't looked at, but it was very high, and he couldn't climb up without a ladder.
He could do it, but considering the different situations of the players, for example, if Deng Puyue were here, it would become an impossible task.
But he had already touched all three of the examination chairs at the beginning, and they didn't seem to have any grooves.
Thinking about it that way, I should still try a chandelier.
Wen Zheng felt much better, stood up, and walked to the cabinet.
-Didn't we just see this place?
Don't ask, just quietly watch Z University's performance.
I always have a bad feeling about this...
Wen Zheng took two steps back, used the momentum to propel himself forward, kicked off the wall, and nimbly leaped to the top of the cabinet.
-...Holy crap?
I'm really curious about how Z allocates points to his physical attributes...
Even if I followed Z's advice and added points, I wouldn't think of climbing higher; it's a matter of mindset!
-Report: I tried to learn it in the game, and then I got dizzy.
The cabinet was already the tallest piece of furniture in the entire hall, but even so, it was still some distance from the chandelier.
Wen Zheng moved his hands and feet expressionlessly, squatted down and then suddenly jumped up, barely managing to grab the power cord on the chandelier with one hand.
As soon as he tried to get on the list, Wen Zheng knew it was going to be fruitless. Even he was having such a hard time getting on; how were the other players supposed to possibly get on...?
Sure enough, the chandelier's casing was perfectly intact. Wen Zheng swung it around twice, then let go at the lowest point, and it fell to the ground from mid-air.
He looked unwell and glanced at the examination chair.
Why can't I find it?
Your mother's, why?
If it weren't for the electrical wiring and internal mechanics, Wen Zheng would have dismantled the examination chair entirely. First, he'd rip off the light fixture, then the armrests, and then…
