117: Chapter 117 Alice's Doll Tea Party 10
As Alice finished speaking, the hall fell silent. The players didn't dare to speak for a moment, not knowing what to say. They sat silently in their original seats, watching Alice.
Fortunately, Alice didn't mind the players' silence. She clapped her hands happily, humming a melody with strange syllables, her youthful childish voice echoing hollowly in the hall.
"Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap..."
Following the tune hummed by Alice, footsteps sounded from the doorway. Everyone looked over to see more than a dozen Maid Outfit Dolls, each carrying a tray, walking in while dancing a cheerful dance to the beat of the hollow, monotonous music.
If this scene appeared in a movie or cartoon, and you removed the eerie childish voice from the air, it might just be a scene from a wonderful fairy tale.
But when they appeared in reality—
Stiff expressions, mechanical dancing, obvious marks at the joints of their bodies, plus the fact that the players' bodies were now just like these dolls...
Adding all this together, it only made people feel creepy, and goosebumps instantly broke out.
The Maid Outfit Dolls placed the meal trays neatly on the table, then, like robots, turned in a circle in place with incredible uniformity, before dancing away with stiff, rhythmic "tap-tap-treading" steps, leaving the hall.
Only one Maid Outfit Doll remained by Alice's side.
The dishes on the table suddenly became dazzling, with steak, roast chicken, and foie gras. The tempting aroma rushed into their noses, making Luo Yuejian's mouth water instantly.
Alice picked up a small silver spoon and tasted a bite of the chocolate pudding on the plate, squinting her eyes in satisfaction, looking at the "dolls" around her who still dared not move.
"Eh, why aren't you eating? Hurry up and taste the refreshments Alice prepared. A Tea Party, after all, should be about eating, drinking, and having fun together~" Her tone was soft and coquettish, every sentence sounding like she was acting spoiled.
Several players looked at each other, none daring to speak.
Alice's smiling expression gradually became dangerous and eerie. "Why are you ignoring Alice? Alice wants to talk to you~"
Mindful of what Mr. Mask said at the beginning: "Don't upset Alice," The man with the emerald finally spoke first: "We are honored to be able to attend Miss Alice's Tea Party. Since it should be about eating, drinking, and having fun together, I wonder what activities Miss Alice has prepared?"
The man with the emerald was actually a bit anxious inside, but fortunately, Alice didn't become dissatisfied. She just tilted her head curiously, then her golden eyes curved into a beautiful arc.
"Are you all actually that looking forward to Alice's Tea Party? But don't be so anxious, eat first. Only after you've eaten will you have the strength to play games~"
The first person to pick up a fork was Luo Yuejian. After all, while other players were still worried about whether this meal had any traps, Luo Yuejian had no such concerns at all.
If there really was any danger, she would have to be grateful...
Honestly, since entering the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, Luo Yuejian hadn't eaten a single bit of food. Now that she tasted the sumptuous dishes, Luo Yuejian felt tears welling up in her eyes.
This is what life is about!
Unfortunately, Luo Yuejian didn't have a big appetite. In order to eat more, she didn't even touch the red wine on the table, and in the end, she didn't eat much.
Seeing Luo Yuejian pick up her chopsticks first without anything going wrong, the other players felt a bit more at ease and also picked up their forks.
They finished the meal quietly, with several players deliberately maintaining table manners, neither making noise nor smacking their lips.
By the time everyone put down their chopsticks and wiped their mouths, Alice had been waiting for a long time.
"Did everyone enjoy the meal?"
The players nodded sincerely; they really couldn't bring themselves to lie and say the meal wasn't good.
Alice smiled happily: "Great~ Since everyone is full and satisfied, let Alice explain the rules of this Tea Party to you~"
"Every doll has a unique status. The higher the status of the doll, the more Maid Outfit Dolls it can command at will."
Among them, a Princess can command 10 Maid Outfit Dolls, a Grand Duke can command 8, a Duke can command 6, a Marquis can command 4, and a Count can command two.
This means that the Baron, that is, the Young man in a blue suit, cannot call upon any Maid Outfit Dolls.
Several players were pondering this rule; they didn't know the function of the Maid Outfit Dolls.
Based on their observations when Alice had the Maid Outfit Dolls bring the food earlier, those dolls didn't look very big, their joints were relatively stiff, and the whole doll looked quite rigid, like a robot.
It seemed they could only serve as bodyguards at best.
Seeing that none of the players' expressions changed, Alice propped her chin up as if a little dissatisfied. "You mustn't underestimate these Maid Outfit Dolls..." A slightly eerie arc rose at the corners of her lips, "They are very strong."
At the same time, the Maid Outfit Doll standing next to Alice stepped forward.
That pair of jointed hands seemed to exert force gently on the corner of the long table.
The next second, that corner of the table was actually snapped off by the Maid Outfit Doll!
The players, who had been relatively calm, were all stunned to see this scene. Holy crap, what the hell is this? A battle maid?
This is a genuine weapon of mass destruction! If you have it in your hands, wouldn't you be invincible? Point wherever you want to hit?
The unhappiest person among everyone was definitely the Young man in a blue suit.
Although he had guessed the disadvantages brought by status levels earlier, at this moment, seeing that high-status players could possess such powerful Maid Outfit Dolls, he immediately felt a bit low and anxious.
If other players wanted to target him, it would be as easy as pie. He couldn't possibly beat that terrifying Maid Outfit Doll; he could only be slaughtered.
After Alice enjoyed the different expressions on the players' faces—some surprised and delighted, some frowning in thought, some dejected and disappointed—she was satisfied this time.
Only then did she giggle and slowly add: "However, to keep Alice's Tea Party balanced, if you want to unlock the Maid Outfit Dolls, you must find the gold coins Alice hid in the castle."
A touch of playfulness flashed in her golden pupils, "Only by finding all the gold coins needed for the Maid Outfit Dolls corresponding to your status can you unlock your own Maid Outfit Dolls at once~"
"In other words, the Count only needs to find two gold coins to unlock his own Maid Outfit Dolls~ How about it? Hee hee, isn't Alice thoughtful?"
