Chapter 4179 Passing Through the Golden Land
It took half an hour for the wine glasses to "reconcile employee records" with the guestbook.
After marking several employees with strong willpower, he excused himself by saying he was going to check on the employees' dormitory.
The guestbook was very satisfied with this and immediately granted "exit permission," while also granting access to its study to the wine glass, thus fulfilling its previous promise.
Although Wine Glass was eager to go to the study to check the relevant information immediately, she considered that the guestbook was still watching her, and her purpose in going to the study was very clear. It would be bad if Pinocchio discovered anything amiss.
Therefore, the priority at present is to reunite with Satan and others, and other matters can be discussed later.
After leaving the sculpting workshop, the wine glass went directly to the staff dormitory.
After spending some time in the staff dormitory, they took a roundabout route towards the crater.
The reason for this is still concern about Pinocchio's surveillance, although it's highly unlikely that Pinocchio can monitor areas outside the shaping workshop. After all, if he could really monitor, he wouldn't need to let her do it; Pinocchio could go to the staff dormitory to investigate clues himself.
However, just to be on the safe side, it's best to be cautious with the wine glass.
As previously agreed, the wine glass went to the chimney near the crater and quickly left a few lines of text using symbols that only the spirits could understand, simply stating his identity and setting a time for his next visit.
After doing all this, she didn't stay there any longer and turned back to the staff dormitory.
After all, she had left early under the pretext of checking the staff dormitory, and to avoid appearing clueless when Pinocchio asked her later, she still had to actually search the staff dormitory.
I'll also wait here to finish get off work and see if I can run into the Ice Maiden on her way back. It would be great if I could meet up with her earlier.
……
For the rest of the time, the wine glass basically circulated around the staff dormitory.
I look through it every now and then.
But just as I expected, there were no so-called "clues," and we had very few possessions.
In the end, he simply stopped searching the wine glasses and went straight into the Ice Maiden's room to wait. The room was as simple as the other dorm rooms, with only a piece of unmelted ice crystal on the bedside table, exuding a faint chill.
She sat on the edge of the bed and waited quietly for the end of her workday.
With the wine glass livestream temporarily suspended, everyone in the Heart Space finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The day's live stream was full of ups and downs, from the indignation at seeing the wine glass being sold to the surprise of discovering that it had been bought by a priest from the Deity Sect by mistake.
Then, when the sacrifice began, Na, the Milk Dragon, and the Mud Duke appeared one after another, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Next, at the chocolate factory, the wine glass inexplicably became Pinocchio's assistant...
The live stream was far more exciting than expected. Angel could even imagine how incredible the buzz it would generate if these clips were edited into a variety show.
It was precisely because today's live broadcast had kept everyone's emotions on a rollercoaster that everyone finally had a chance to catch their breath now that things had calmed down on the other end of the show.
Luigi is preparing to create background music for the characters' entrances, while his water clones are starting to flood the "forum".
After stretching, Angell decided to log on to check on the rabbit girl's situation, wondering if she had managed to clear the Golden City.
With these questions in mind, Angell closed his eyes and drifted into a deep, sweet dream.
When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at the players' camp under the projection of the floating island sand table.
As soon as he entered the camp, Angel heard a surging clamor, the sounds so chaotic and mixed together that they were difficult to distinguish.
But you can vaguely hear a few keywords: it seems to be talking about the puzzle level, where... a perfect clear has appeared?
Now that a day has passed since Nereid was cleared, even the most heated discussions will calm down a bit after a day of reflection. Moreover, Dream Crystal currently lacks a unified discussion platform, making it even more difficult to maintain a consistent presence in trending news.
Therefore, Angor speculated that the "perfect clear" being discussed outside was probably not Nereid.
So which level was perfectly cleared?
Is it the golden land conquered by the rabbit girl?
With these questions in mind, Angell adopted a "God's-eye view" to try and gauge public opinion.
As soon as he immersed his consciousness into the "public opinion field" of the camp, the noisy waves of sound instantly became clear. From God's perspective, even if countless words appeared at the same time, they were classified and sorted out, just like a originally blocked single-channel receiver suddenly unfolding into a multi-track parallel information network. Every sound had its own track, so clear that one could hear the amazement or doubt hidden in the words.
At this moment, everyone in the camp seemed to have become an NPC in a game, with "bubbles" constantly appearing above their heads, each bubble containing their dialogue.
At a glance, all the information is readily available.
Although Angell hadn't sorted out the "dialogue" bubbles yet, he already had the answer just by looking at them.
Because in these conversations, almost every chat bubble contains several unavoidable keywords: "Golden Land", "Rabbit Hole", "Singer", and "Perfect Completion".
Just from the keywords, you can tell that this time the perfect clear was really... Golden Land.
Although the sand table projection and text bar did not update the information on clearing the Golden City, the leaderboard remained unchanged from yesterday.
However, this doesn't mean anything.
Because the information about the Wonderland is usually updated after midnight of the new day, in other words, it will take at least two or three hours for the synchronized information of the level to be displayed to the public.
However, this only means that external information is slower to be synchronized, but within Golden Township, the information has actually been released earlier.
When the Golden City is perfectly cleared, all teams that completed that level will receive a [Sandbox Announcement], along with their team's final score.
Therefore, the strategy team for Golden Township knew the outcome in advance, and the news naturally reached the players' camp after they came out.
This is why, even though the sandbox leaderboard hasn't been synchronized yet, information about clearing the game is already rampant.
Back to the topic.
After seeing these keywords, Angell had a general idea of what the content was, but one question remained: the Golden City had been perfectly cleared, that was for sure.
Why did both the "Rabbit Hole" and "Singer" teams simultaneously trend on social media?
Which of these two teams conquered the Golden City?
Intrigued, Angell began to explore further.
As he filtered through the chat bubbles, he quickly understood the reason.
About half an hour ago, Golden Village was perfectly cleared, and the team that cleared it was... Rabbit Hole!
But the reason why "The Singer" was also a hot topic was because the final scores of the two teams were not far apart, and they were almost neck and neck.
According to information provided by the team that came out of Golden Country in advance, the final score for Rabbit Hole is 110 points.
The "Singer" scored 90 points!
Rabbit Hole was only leading by twenty points, such a narrow margin is why the public discussion was so heated.
It's worth noting that in the Nereid level, Rabbit Hole took first place with 130 points, while the second-place team, Lord of the World, only had 41 points.
The difference is nearly ninety points!
Everyone assumed that the gap between the first and second place finishers in the subsequent levels would be just as large, but the score calculation in Golden Village this time was completely unexpected.
At this moment, almost everyone was asking how the singer had managed to do it.
The teams that came out early also reported the score breakdown for Rabbit Hole and the singer.
"Rabbit Hole - Total Score 110: 100 points (Perfect completion mode, ascend to the Golden Throne), 10 points (Observer Rating)"
"Singer - Total Score 90 points: 50 points (Complete Normal Mode, Ascend the Silver Throne), 40 points (Observer Rating)"
When Ingres saw the composition of this fraction, he understood instantly.
This time, the observers didn't seem to favor Rabbit Hole. Even though Rabbit Hole had a perfect run through Golden Country, the observers still gave the majority of the points to the Singers' Team instead of Rabbit Hole.
While Montedan initially favored the Lord of the Worlds team, he ultimately remained relatively objective, awarding the majority of the observer rating to Rabbit Hole. After all, Rabbit Hole's perfect completion of Nereid was an undeniable fact.
This time, however, the observers did not follow objective standards, but rather gave rather subjective scores.
This is the reason why Rabbit Hole and Singer didn't widen the score gap.
Angel knew that the Singer's Squad was most likely the same team led by Miss Gesha. With Miss Gesha being such a bug, it was normal for them to get high scores.
However, he was still very curious about what Miss Gossa had done to make the observer so "biased".
Unfortunately, neither the Singer nor Rabbit Hole teams have left Golden Country yet.
Although he didn't know why they were still stuck inside the checkpoint, Angor wasn't in a hurry. Half an hour had passed since they cleared the Golden Village, and they should be out soon.
Angel glanced at the illusory sand table above his head, took out the key card for the Text Manor, opened the door, and stepped into the Text Manor.
The place to enter was still near the garden of the Great Mary Rose.
When he arrived, a large crowd had already gathered there.
Laplace, Grey Porcelain, Gabriel, Montedan, Ivda, and a Crystal Eye were all in the garden.
Judging from the enthusiastic discussion, they must already know that the Rabbit Girl game has been completed.
Before Angell even entered the garden, he overheard their conversation, which, unsurprisingly, revolved around the "Golden Land" and the "Singer."
Like everyone else in the contestant camp, they were all curious about what the singer had done to earn such a high score from the observers.
Gabriel was extremely indignant, and the illusion puppet wrapped in his tentacles spoke quickly: "Montedan still had to perform, and he gave us thirty points. This observer of the Golden Land didn't even perform, and actually gave all the points to the singer?!"
Gray Porcelain muttered to himself, "They didn't give it all; they at least gave Rabbit Hole ten points."
Gabriel: "What's ten points?!"
Gray Porcelain: "Ten points is indeed nothing, but if we don't give them ten points, then the singer and we will be split evenly..."
Gabriel: "..."
Meanwhile, Montedan, who was standing nearby, heard their conversation and said quietly, "I didn't act at the time either. I just initially focused more on the normal version. I didn't expect that a challenger team could complete it perfectly."
Ignoring Montedan's protest, Gabriel asked curiously, "Do you observers not care about the results when you score? We clearly achieved a perfect score, yet you only give us ten points. That's too little, isn't it?"
Montedan paused for a moment, "As I said before, each observer has a different personality and different scoring standards. I set the maximum score for both the normal and perfect modes before scoring, which was planned in advance and will not be changed. That's why, although I initially appreciated the bond of friendship in the Lord of Ten Thousand Games team, I ultimately gave you more points."
"Some observers may value the overall process more than the comparison between the two modes, so even if the rabbit hole is completed perfectly, it will not be given a higher score."
Gabriel: "You mean, observers in the Golden Country might value the process more than the result?"
Montessam thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Gabriel grinned, and the illusion puppet uttered a questioning voice: "So what you're implying is that our captain's challenge of the Golden City was inferior to that of the Singer's Squad?"
Montedan was taken aback: "I didn't say that."
"But isn't that what you mean?"
Montessone sighed helplessly, and was about to explain when his gaze suddenly fell on the end of the garden path.
They saw Angell walking towards them.
Angel's arrival briefly halted the heated discussion, but it quickly ignited even greater enthusiasm. Everyone hoped to glean information from Angel, especially regarding the reason for the singer's high score—after all, Angel was known for providing unexpected insights.
Unfortunately, Angell didn't know what the singer had done this time either. The only thing he could be sure of was that the reason the observer was so biased was most likely related to Miss Gossa.
But he has no idea what Miss Gossa did.
Everyone looked disappointed.
Laplace remained calm and composed, saying, "You'll know the answer when your commander returns. There's no point in speculating now."
Everyone thought it made sense, and decided to wait until the rabbit girl came out before making any decisions.
Angor sat down next to Laplace, his gaze sweeping over Ivda in the distance and the crystalline-skinned tribesman beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Did they bring intelligence about the new level?"
Laplace nodded: "Yes, I just asked about it, it's information about the 'Echo Library'. But I haven't asked for the specifics yet, I plan to discuss it together after the bunny girl comes back."
"What? Are you planning to ask now?"
Angel shook his head: "No need, let's talk about it together later."
Next, they entered the waiting period. During the wait, Angell also had a brief chat with Laplace about the situation of the wine glass and others.
Specific details were not disclosed because they will be available through mind sharing after Laplace goes offline.
Angell mainly talked about how things were progressing rapidly, with the wine glass and others already entering the secret area, and now it was up to them to see if they could conquer the chocolate factory.
Not long after they finished talking, the gates of the Word Manor opened again.
And the one who stepped into the garden this time was none other than the "mayor" of Rabbit Town, and also the leader of the Rabbit Hole—the Rabbit Girl!
