God-Level Game Developer System: I Brought In-Game Items To Real World - Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Staff-Only Restricted Area In Windesburg Hotel
Hearing the guide’s explanation, Ayame and her group knew that they couldn’t further put pressure on the guide.

No matter how you coerce a fish to live on land, it would only die anyway.

Forcing the guide to do what he could not do would only lead to a futile effort.

Of course, there was also the possibility that the guide was lying and he was tricking them. But even if that was possible, Ayame and the others didn’t have any evidence that proved that.

Moreover, the guide was still somewhat useful in navigating the Nevergreen Forest. Even if the guide was tricking them, they didn’t have any choice since they weren’t familiar with Vacation Paradise Island.

If Winston was here, it would have been more reliable to just use the balloon curse on him and use the Balloon Authority to take away the knowledge and memories of the guide. As long as they obtain that, then they would no longer need to rely on the guide in exploring Vacation Paradise Island.

When Ayame had that flash of inspiration, she couldn’t help but think more about it, ‘It’s not impossible for Winston to use his Balloon Authority against the guide.’

‘We don’t know much about the guide so rather than relying on someone our group isn’t familiar with, it’s much more reliable if Winston obtained the memories and knowledge of the guide.’

‘Or, Kayden could also force the guide to participate in a gambling match and the guide would have no force to wager his memories and knowledge about Vacation Paradise Island.’

Having that plan in mind, Ayame decided to put up with the feigned ignorance of the guide.

Ayame felt that the guide was playing with them but she didn’t have any evidence. However, she no longer cared since as long as she could get Winston or Kayden’s help, she wouldn’t have to put up with the guide’s shenanigans anymore.

‘Although I can use my Gourmet Authority to eat the guide and obtain his memories and experience, it still doesn’t feel right with me to eat sentient humanoids. It feels cannibalistic and I can’t bring myself to do that.’

‘Even if this is just a game world and my real body isn’t the one eating them, I still have the memories of eating them which still doesn’t feel right. This is why Kayden’s authority is much more reliable than mine when it comes to dealing with sentient humanoids.’

‘If I became a cannibalistic savage and didn’t care about such humane feelings, then I would be able to awaken the full potential of the Gourmet Authority. But since I can’t, then my Gourmet Authority will not be able to show its full potential and will look worse than Kayden’s Gambling Authority.’

‘But I’m human and not a monster. So I guess I can only do what I think is right for now. Power isn’t everything and I still have my big brother’s backing. He had already advised me to just treat this as a game and enjoy it as much as I can.’

With those thoughts in her mind, Ayame could only sigh and put up with the annoying existence of the guide.

Ayame spoke to the guide, “If you obtain information about those monsters or evil spirits, then inform us about it. For now, assist us in exploring Nevergreen Forest. As for exploring Mt. Hooroo, that can wait for tomorrow.”

In response to that, the guide nodded his head and agreed, “Okay then! We have a lot of time before lunch break. I’ll show you the wonders of nature in Nevergreen Forest!”

Hearing the guide’s words, Bianca complained silently, “If meeting a treant and almost getting us killed is the wonders of nature in Nevergreen Forest, then what a thrilling vacation this is.”

Their surroundings weren’t that noisy so even if Bianca’s words were silent, they could still hear her. Nevertheless, the guide still feigned ignorance and he led them into Nevergreen Forest.

…

In Windesburg Hotel, Winston and Kayden were leading Kuroneko and GoldMiner as the four of them explored the interior of Windesburg Hotel.

They were snooping around the facilities of Windesburg Hotel such as the entertainment facilities and the staff seemed to ignore their actions.

But when they were about to enter the kitchen, the chef stopped them, “This is off-limits for tourists. Can’t you see the staff-only sign labeled on the door?”

In response, Kayden explained, “We want to observe how the chefs cooked such delicious food. As tourists, it’s only natural for us to be curious especially when we had already booked an all-round tour at Vacation Paradise Island.”

The chef sneered, “Didn’t you know that curiosity killed the cat? You lot can explore any place here at Windesburg Hotel and we won’t stop you. However, the staff-only restricted areas cannot be visited by outsiders.”

Hearing the chef’s sneer, Kayden and the rest didn’t have any intentions of leaving yet.

They knew that if they wanted to get to the bottom of Windesburg Hotel’s mystery, accessing the restricted areas was a must.

Kayden and his groupmates exchanged glances and they already knew what the other had planned in mind. Even if they didn’t talk, they could already guess the other’s intentions.

Kuroneko and GoldMiner immediately charged towards the chef much to the chef’s surprise.

However, the chef’s reaction speed was quite fast as he had already picked up the butcher knife and slashed it towards Kuroneko.

Kuroneko agilely dodged it as he moved sideways. Since the chef was distracted by Kuroneko, GoldMiner took advantage of this.

Since the chef had picked up a butcher knife and attacked them with a pointed object, GoldMiner picked up a kitchen knife and stabbed the chef from behind.

Before the chef could respond, a knife swiftly flew towards his face and stabbed his eye!

“Grahhhh!”

The chef groaned in pain as he was not only stabbed in the back but a sharp knife was even plunged into his right eye!

Seeing the progress they made, Kayden suggested, “Winston, throw more knives! We need to eliminate him before it catches the attention of other Windesburg Hotel staff.”

“Don’t worry, we have luck on our side!”
