The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 222 is a good chapter.

"Never mind, I'll stop looking at it for now," Fang Cheng thought, folding the paper and stuffing it into the pocket of his clothes. He then took out the two little golden finger figures that he had quickly moved from his pocket.

Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM, who had been inside the pocket for half a day, finally came out, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief—they could finally get some fresh air.

The equation places the two little figures in the basket being carried, while the two hands begin to pick tea leaves.

As Fang Cheng picked tea leaves, he asked, "Do you know any information here? Information that isn't mentioned in the rules?"

"Well, based on the information we have so far, it can be said that this dungeon has two bosses, twin females," said System WQBYRZM, recalling the original text he had summarized.

There were indeed two people. Fang Cheng thought to himself, then continued to ask, "Anything else?"

"Also, the second young lady will appear on the outer perimeter of the tea garden, and the eldest young lady will appear inside the tea shop. The two of them will appear simultaneously on the inner perimeter of the tea garden," said System WQBYRZM.

"So where do we start calculating the outer perimeter?" Fang Cheng asked again.

“The fourth one from the fence is the outer perimeter,” said System WQBYRZM. “We are still in the inner perimeter.”

“Oh, I see…” Fang Cheng said, “Oh right, you two take a look at this piece of paper.”

As Fang Cheng spoke, he took out the piece of paper with the rules written on it from his pocket and placed it in front of System WQBYRZM and Lu Renkui.

Lu Renkui got up and picked up the paper, but then sat back down in the basket because of the feeling of being suspended in mid-air. System WQBYRZM also came over and started reading the words on the paper.

After reviewing the rules, the system WQBYRZM looked up and said, "There are no obviously conflicting rules here."

"Is everything correct? They didn't set any traps for me, did they?" After hearing this, Fang Cheng checked with the system WQBYRZM again.

"No," the system WQBYRZM said decisively. "These are all normal rules; none of them are designed to trap you."

"Is that so? That's good." Fang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that as long as he followed the rules, he could leave after three days and two nights.

“Instead of checking if the rules are correct, you should speed up the tea picking now,” Lu Renkui said. “Mao Shi, Wu Shi, and Xu Shi correspond to 5:00-7:00, 11:00-13:00, and 19:00-21:00. There is less than half an hour left until 1 p.m..”

Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng immediately quickened her pace—her basket was only slightly full, still a long way from half full—and asked while picking tea leaves, "Where did you see the time?"

“There’s a sundial on the roof of the tea plantation, and below the sundial is a clock embedded in the wall.” Lu Renkui pointed to the huge sundial on the central building. Even though it was so far away, Lu Renkui could still make out what was drawn on it.

There was a large clock beneath the sundial. It was too far away to see clearly; only the approximate direction of the hour and minute hands could be discerned.

To determine the time, you need to consider both factors together.

Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng looked up and indeed saw the enormous sundial and the barely discernible Western clock beneath it.

After realizing that the little person with braids was right, Fang Cheng picked tea leaves even faster.

Finally, as the Western clock began to chime, Fang Cheng ran to the entrance of the tea garden carrying a basket.

As the bell tolled, Fang Cheng's two feet stepped out of the tea garden. The gate slammed shut, and a huge plume of black smoke appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the entire tea garden and obscuring even the slightly blue sky.

Fang Cheng swallowed hard; she couldn't imagine what would have happened if she had been any later.

Any later and she would be trapped in the black fog, and then...

It will probably become part of the black mist too.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng shuddered—this was the first time she had faced death so directly and so close. In the previous dungeons, she had basically gotten through by hiding and dodging.

But it's clear that this instance is unavoidable.

Remembering the rule on the paper that the tea leaves should be taken to the kitchen for the cook to brew, Fang Cheng immediately set off to find the kitchen. With the help of the system WQBYRZM and Lu Renkui's hints, Fang Cheng found the kitchen without asking anyone along the way.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Fang Cheng began searching for Bai Xingyi.

There was hardly anyone in the kitchen, except for two men sitting in front of the stove, one fat and one thin, chatting about something.

The fat man facing the kitchen door was the first to notice Fang Cheng, who was standing at the door looking for Bai Xing. He waved and said, "Are you the new tea-picking girl? Put your tea basket here, and we'll brew the tea and pour it for you, Miss."

Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng was about to put down the basket when he suddenly remembered the rules on the paper and stopped. Seeing that the new tea-picking girl hadn't put down her basket, the skinny man said, "What are you waiting for? Just give it to us, we won't forget."

The equation remained unchanged.

Seeing that Fang Cheng still showed no intention of handing over the item, the skinny man got up and walked towards Fang Cheng.

Upon realizing the situation had changed, Fang Cheng immediately clutched the basket of tea leaves tightly to his chest.

Seeing Fang Cheng's reaction, the fat man and the thin man didn't do anything. The thin man sat back down in his seat, and the two of them continued to sit in front of the stove, adding firewood and chatting.

After a while, Bai Xingyi returned, followed by two cooks dressed in the same clothes.

Upon seeing Bai Xingyi return, Fang Cheng quickly handed the basket full of tea leaves to Bai Xingyi.

Bai Xingyi, who was carrying a vegetable basket and hadn't even had a chance to put it down, was suddenly handed a basket of tea leaves. Before he could react, Bai Xingyi looked up and met Fang Cheng's eyes. He immediately guessed that Fang Cheng's mission might be partly related to him.

Remembering that his rules required him to select two ounces of the finest tea leaves from the basket picked by the tea-picking girls to brew tea for the eldest or second young lady, Bai Xingyi knew that his task had also arrived.

"Leave it to me. Who should we give these tea leaves to after brewing them?" Bai Xingyi asked.

"It must be given to the young lady," Fang Cheng replied. "Remember, it must be black tea. If you don't have black tea, brew green tea."

"Okay, I understand." Bai Xingyi nodded, handed the vegetable basket to the other two cooks, and went to make tea himself.

After handing the tea to Bai Xingyi, Fang Cheng walked out of the kitchen. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Gu Huayang.

When Gu Huayang saw Fang Cheng come out, he waved to Fang Cheng and said, "My task is to lead you and prevent you from running around. Come with me."

Fang Cheng followed behind Gu Huayang. Because of their significant age difference and lack of common topics, the two walked quietly one after the other after exchanging information.

Taking this opportunity, Fang Cheng began to analyze what hidden traps the task sheet might have set for him. For example, the tea delivery slip clearly stated that it was for the cook. This meant he was supposed to give it to the girl cooking in the kitchen. If he actually gave it to those two men, one fat and one thin, then the tea probably wouldn't reach the young lady.
