"Hidden Easter Egg?"
Just by hearing the name of the mission, Luigi knew that it was definitely a good thing.
He did not hesitate to answer "Yes/No".
Along with the appearance of the word "Yes", the characters on the Wonderland prompt slowly changed, and finally, rows of new characters appeared.
[Hidden Easter Egg — Musical Score Exchange has officially begun. ]
[You can submit music scores to Uriel during the exchange. After submitting a music score, you will receive a Wonderland Box as a reward. ]
[Please note that the number of times you can submit music scores is unlimited. However, the maximum number of Wonderland Boxes in the Hidden Easter Egg is five. ]
[The type of Wonderland Box is random. ]
[The quality of the Wonderland Box will change according to the quality of the music scores submitted. ]
[Number of Wonderland Boxes remaining: 5/5]
[The deadline for the Hidden Easter Egg is when Main Quest 5 begins. ]
Luigi was pleasantly surprised when he saw the reward.
He was only looking forward to the "Stage of Dreams" in this quest. He did not expect to receive five Wonderland Boxes in addition to his expectations.
This was a completely unexpected surprise.
Angor was also surprised after hearing Luigi's description.
He originally thought that this Wonderland Instance Dungeon was a story-type Instance Dungeon. This kind of Instance Dungeon focused on the development of the "plot" and would not reward any Wonderland items.
He did not expect that even a "no battle, no exploration, and no map" dungeon like this would still give out Wonderland items. It was a little strange, but it was still a great surprise for challengers who were not good at fighting.
Also, the variety of items produced by the "Wonderland" meant that the authority of the "Wonderland" was very thorough in its planning, which pleased Angor a lot.
But, then again, that was not the case.
This method of repeatedly submitting items to the same NPC in order to obtain rewards was a bit like the activity NPCs or reputation NPCs in the game recorded in the holographic tablet.
Could the hidden easter egg of this dungeon be referring to the games in his memory?
Angor shook his head to get rid of these trivial thoughts.
"Since you triggered the Hidden Easter Egg, did you get a Wonderland Box now?"
Luigi nodded. "Yes."
While speaking, Luigi took out a handkerchief from his pocket.
It was a square, pure white handkerchief. It was very plain and didn't have any fancy patterns. There was only a cute yellow duck head pattern at the bottom left corner.
When Luigi carefully took out the handkerchief, Angor immediately realized that it was the item he got from the Wonderland Box.
There was indeed information about the Immortal Realm lingering on it.
He took a closer look and saw the properties of the handkerchief.
[Immortal Land Item: Little Yellow Duck Handkerchief]
[From the Immortal Realm, Uriel's Choice. "
"Little Uriel had a little yellow duck quilt that had accompanied him since he was a baby. Ten years had passed, and even though the quilt was full of holes, he could not bear to throw it away. It wasn't until little Uriel started to live on campus that he was forcibly separated from the blanket. In order to keep little Uriel awake at night, his mother had embroidered a handkerchief for him that was identical to the yellow duck blanket. Although it couldn't be used to cover his body, it represented his mother's love for him. "
[Effect: During battle, if you encounter a close-range attack, there is a certain probability of triggering Little Yellow Duck's Protection, and you will be immune to all physical damage. "
This was a protective Immortal Realm item.
At first glance, the property of the item was not bad.
But upon closer inspection, one would find that the effect had a lot of limitations. First of all, the item could only be triggered by a "close-range" attack. This was the first limitation.
Also, the damage that could be immune to was limited to "physical" damage. All energy, soul, spirit, and other types of damage were excluded.
As for pure physical damage, generally, only ordinary people would use it.
Even if it looked like physical damage, there would still be a certain amount of energy attribute added to the attack by supernatural beings.
The most typical example would be Bloodline Wizards. Even when they were still apprentices, their combat skills would be enhanced with thick blood aura and a certain amount of mana.
There was almost no such thing as pure physical damage.
More importantly, the protection of this handkerchief was not "100% protection". There was still a "probability", which added another layer of shackles to the handkerchief.
It was not that it could not be used. It was just not as useful as expected.
However, in a sense, this could be considered as the first defensive item in the entire Wonderland dungeon. Such a start was already considered a good one.
As for whether the duckling handkerchief looked too childish, or if its background story was a bit awkward … these were not important to him. No matter how childish the handkerchief looked, no matter how ridiculous the story was, it was not for him anyway.
As the owner of the Little Yellow Duck's handkerchief, Luigi did not care about such things either.
The handkerchief would work as long as he put it in his pocket, and no one could see it. Even if they could see the handkerchief's appearance, they could not see its properties without Luigi's permission.
Not everyone was as smart as him, who could see through a Immortal Realm item with a single glance.
"This is the item I got from the first Wonderland Box. I exchanged it with the 'Dark Alley Scripture'." Luigi sighed as he spoke.
"'Dark Alley Scripture' is actually similar to 'Black Sheep Confession'. They're both songs related to religion. According to the description, the Immortal Realm Box's quality will change according to the quality of the music score submitted. Since Uriel likes' Black Sheep Confession ', he should like' Dark Alley Scripture 'as well. I wanted to use this opportunity to please Uriel, but in the end … "
"Uriel gave me this handkerchief from his Immortal Realm Box."
Luigi was still a little unconvinced.
The handkerchief should be useful for exploring dungeons in the early stages. But it was only an "early stage" Immortal Realm item. When all Immortal Realm items became common, no one would use physical attacks in a battle.
Therefore, Luigi was still a little dissatisfied with the handkerchief that he had obtained.
He was trying to please Uriel, but he ended up giving him a handkerchief he used when he was young.
Angor remained silent for a moment. "Dark Alley Canon is related to religion. But did you forget that it's a religious hymn at its core? Black Sheep Confession, on the other hand, is an anti-religious song. "
Luigi was a little surprised. He quickly recalled something that happened a few days ago.
He had bought Dark Alley Scripture from Parrot, and he had bought Filthy Blood Purification Song in the same batch of music sheets.
Come to think of it, when the parrot was trading the music scores, it did say something. "These two music scores have great origins. One is a hymn from a Transcendent religion, and the other involves a special mystic instrument."
Without a doubt, Dark Alley Canon was a religious hymn.
Although there was an anti-religion section in the Dark Alley Scripture, it was just a prelude. It was set up to suppress the desire to rise.
The core of the song would be revealed in the later stages, which was a religious hymn.
Thinking of this, Luigi understood.
No wonder Uriel's brows had been furrowed so tightly after examining the score. Uriel didn't like religious music, especially those that praised religion.
Angor looked at Luigi who was still in a daze. "You'll know if it's a hymn or not after you play it. Didn't Uriel ask you to play it when you talked to him? "
Luigi scratched his head. "I can play it. But I've already memorized the notes since I got it. I didn't play it even once. I was worried that I might be too rusty, so I gave him the music score directly."
Speaking of this, Luigi felt a little embarrassed.
As long as he could play it, he would be able to find the core of the hymn even if he didn't play it well. However, he was worried that he might not be able to play it well for the first time and missed the chance.
Luigi sighed helplessly. "No wonder he gave me a useless handkerchief in the Wonderland Box. So he didn't like Dark Alley Canon at all … "
"What a waste of a chance to exchange for a Wonderland Box."
Angor tried to comfort Luigi. "Actually, the quality of the Wonderland Box doesn't necessarily depend on Uriel's preferences."
"The Wonderland Box only said that the quality of the box would change according to the quality of the music scores submitted. It didn't mention anything about Uriel's preferences …"
Luigi said, "Now that you mention it, I feel even worse. The quality of 'Dark Alley Scripture' is actually on the same level as' Black Sheep Confession '. In terms of quality, it can only be exchanged for a small yellow duck handkerchief. Wouldn't it be even harder for me to get a better Fairyland Box? "
Angor didn't know what to say.
Angor considered. "The yellow duckling handkerchief isn't as useless as you think."
Angor wasn't slapping himself in the face.
He had to admit that the yellow duckling handkerchief wasn't very useful to Luigi. But it was only useful to Luigi.
Luigi had a physical body in real life. If he ran into any danger in the Wonderland dungeon, he could just force himself to log off.
But for the new residents who only had one life, this kind of defensive Immortal Realm item was definitely more valuable than any other item.
Another's arsenic was another's honey.
If Luigi didn't think his arsenic was good enough, he could always trade it for honey.
When the new residents' groups expanded, they would be able to get all kinds of Wonderland items from the dungeon. When the time came, Luigi could trade with these new residents and exchange them for items that he liked.
Luigi rubbed his chin and nodded. "Now that you mention it, it does make sense."
"Plus, we still have four chances to exchange for Wonderland Boxes, right? This time, you don't have to sing about religion. Use an anti-religion one. "
Luigi considered and nodded. "Then I'll use 'Blood Purification' this time? Parrot told me that the background of this song tells a story about the reversal of light. "
Blood Purification basically told the story of a believer who fell into darkness, so religious people came to purify him. However, as they did so, they realized that the believer's so-called fall into darkness was actually a search for light, while the religious people were the ones who needed to be purified.
The story wasn't purely anti-religion, but it was similar to the "awakening" of ordinary people.
Moreover, according to the parrot, the Filthy Blood Purification Song also involved a secret ritual.
If Uriel … or the Immortal Authority behind him could hear the value of the "secret instrument", perhaps the quality of the Immortal Box would improve as a result?
Angor didn't mind Luigi's choice.
He couldn't ask Guy and the others for help right now. The Easter egg wouldn't last long, and he might not be able to find a perfect match.
Since he had made up his mind, Luigi didn't hesitate and went to Uriel.
However, he didn't hand it in right away. Instead, he decided to play it first.
At least, he wanted to make sure the core wasn't "religious".
Although he had never played the Filthy Blood Purification Song before, he still managed to play the entire song almost perfectly with his excellent skills.
The first half of the song was mostly about purification, with all kinds of holy chants.
The middle part was the same holy chants and the same melody. But at the end, the song was filled with darkness and ghosts.
At the end of the song, the Filthy Blood Purification Song reached its climax again.
It was still the same melody, but this time, it was filled with a distant and deep hope in the darkness. It was like seeing a lighthouse in the endless sea of darkness.
One melody, three cores, three atmospheres.
Uriel's eyes widened as he listened. Even though he did not say anything, Angor could see how shocked he was by the arrangement of the music.
When the song ended, Luigi was a little shocked by the arrangement.
It wasn't a traditional anti-religion song, but it still had elements of anti-religion in it. The most important thing was that the music was very clever. With a simple change of tune, the whole atmosphere was completely changed.
And this was Luigi's first time playing it.
If it was like the Black Sheep Confession, he could practice for a few more days before playing it. Perhaps the Filthy Blood Purification Song would surpass the Black Sheep Confession and take the first two places!
It was an excellent piece of music, no doubt.
But Luigi didn't sense the "secret ritual" core in Blood Purification, as mentioned by Parrot.
Was the "secret ritual" a three-tone atmosphere? Or was there some secret code hidden in the notes?
Luigi couldn't think of anything.
But these were all trivial details that didn't matter.
The most important thing now was to submit the Filthy Blood Purification Song and see what kind of reward Uriel would give after he received it.
Would the Paradise Box improve its quality?
