Chapter 369 - 368: Trampling the Lowly and Fawning on the Mighty
"I’m on my way to Somberfell City too. Today’s mission is there. Tonight, after my livestream ends, I can ask the show’s crew for some time off."
"You can’t make time to see me during the day?"
"Of course not. I have to be on the livestream all day."
"Then I’ll wait for you."
"Okay."
Melody Monroe put her phone away, her heart filled with uncontrollable fantasies of marrying Evan Fairchild...
Half an hour later, the car stopped beneath the archway sign for Somberfell City.
Melody Monroe and her team were the last to arrive.
"Melody Monroe!" a voice suddenly called out.
Melody Monroe looked toward the source of the voice. She couldn’t recall the person’s name right away; she only recognized her face and knew she was also a team leader.
"Hello," Melody Monroe said with a quick greeting as the woman approached.
"Melody Monroe, hi!" Someone else greeted her.
"Hello, hi."
One person, bolder than the rest, came right up and asked, "Melody Monroe, can I add you on WeChat?"
Melody Monroe didn’t feel it was right to refuse, so she took out her phone.
"I want to add you too!"
"Me too!"
"Melody Monroe, I’ve been following *Warm Wind*! It’s almost the finale. Can you give us any spoilers about Willow’s ending?"
"You’ll just have to keep watching. You’ll find out when the finale airs," Melody Monroe replied tactfully.
"Melody Monroe, your acting is amazing!"
"Thank you, thank you."
Melody Monroe had no idea what had gotten into everyone. ’Why are they all swarming me all of a sudden?’
Eileen Scott watched this scene from a distance, secretly grinding her teeth.
’These people have no principles at all,’ she thought. ’The second Melody Monroe gets popular, they all flock to her.’
"Everyone, listen up! I’m going to explain the rules. In a moment, the leader from each group will come up here to draw a piece of paper. This paper contains your hidden treasure hunt mission. Let’s see if you can decipher it!"
Several team leaders went forward, ready to draw lots.
Melody Monroe was internally screaming no! If she was the one to draw, it would definitely be something bad.
But as soon as she suggested someone else go, her teammates immediately pushed her forward, saying they’d be fine with whatever she drew.
After everyone had drawn, Melody Monroe immediately opened her paper.
She discovered that everyone else’s was the same.
It was a map, with markings on certain buildings. It was a map of Somberfell Town, but it had been turned into a cute, cartoonish version.
"What you’re holding are the route maps for today’s treasure hunt. The four groups will take separate routes, starting from the north, south, east, and west. Now, please proceed to your respective starting points."
As soon as the staff member finished speaking, the teams immediately took their papers and set off in their assigned directions.
Melody Monroe and her team passed through an archway and arrived at the first marked location.
"Will there be a clue here?" Shaun Owen asked, sounding uncertain.
"This is a noodle shop, isn’t it?"
"Looks like it. Let’s go in and check it out. We’re already here, after all."
Melody Monroe led her team into the shop.
"Melody Monroe! Oh my god, it’s really Melody Monroe!" the people in the shop exclaimed.
Melody Monroe immediately nodded to everyone. "Hello, we’re on a treasure hunt. I was wondering, is there any treasure to be found here?" she asked, attempting to state a potential password.
Just then, a person in historical costume stepped out. "I am the guardian of the treasure! If you wish to find it, you must pass my test."
"What kind of test?" Shaun Owen asked hurriedly.
