Chapter 271 Attacking the Golden Ball

During these seven days, although Youxi and her friends had video or voice calls every day, she never let Xiyuan appear on camera.

She knew that they decided to come together because they were worried, and she also knew that they were concerned about Xiyuan's half-NPC status, but he was her teammate after all, and even if they were concerned, they would not force her to do anything. It's

better to do it directly than to talk too much. Her friends are all action-oriented and respect her choice very much, so she naturally doesn't want them to add unnecessary worries.

Xiyuan's wolf head is too scary, the kind of scary that can scare adults to tears with a fierce glare, so she didn't let him appear on camera for the time being. Anyway, they will see him as soon as they arrive.

"Let me introduce you to Xiyuan. Like you, he was born in the apocalyptic world controlled by the system tower, and now he has entered the system tower world. For some reason, his identity in this world is a bit special. When he is at the station, he will have half the identity of an indigenous person."

She did not say that Xiyuan was not a tasker, but a wanderer. Because this is the biggest secret of Xiyuan's identity. Although he has joined the team now, he is not familiar with Lin Wu and the other two. If he wants to say it, he will naturally say it when he gets familiar with them in the future.

"So, his native identity is from the pet planet?" Lin Wu understood after hearing this. He had seen similar people before, in several special venues. He went in to trigger the mission prompt, but he didn't expect the scale inside to be so huge. He only lasted five minutes before escaping...

However, on his planet, in order to match the style of the Thousand and One Nights fairy tale theme, there are many people with partial animalization such as cat-eared dancers and rabbit-eared singers, and it is rare to see people with entire heads animalized...

Because of this stimulating first impression, Lin Wu and Tang Yatong all thought that Xiyuan had a domineering personality, such as being quiet, serious, and indifferent.

Especially Lin Wu, when he greeted the other party outside the spaceship station and stretched out his hand to shake his, he felt the other party's sharp gaze on him. The blue-green eyes were filled with a faint light of scrutiny and examination. While shaking hands with him, he had already scanned him up and down without making a sound.

Lin Wu didn't mind this scrutiny. After all, it was their first meeting, and the other party was different from Tang Yatong and You Zhenzhen. He was the first male member to join the team besides him.

What's more, with a wolf head on his neck, he should not be able to make any expression other than serious, solemn and calm.

However, the other party's taciturn and cold serious look only lasted about ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, they saw Xiyuan like this -

outside the shuttle station, You Zhenzhen had just left to get a drink at the dessert shop, Xiyuan immediately filled the empty seat next to Youxi, and the big wolf head rubbed against her face again: "Youxi, you abuse me..."

"Speak human language."

"I want a hug too... Awooo--"

The latter sound was the cry of pain after the wolf's ears were pulled.

On the shuttle, Youxi handed three copies of the information to Lin Wu and the other three, asking them to go through them quickly, because they would be dragged to participate in the nightmare park again tonight.

The information was in triplicate, and it contained the information about all the night playground facilities in the "Frog Prince" area that Xiyuan told her. At the same time, she also added simple drawings for some necessary places to facilitate their understanding.

This was agreed upon before they came. They would temporarily stay in the "Frog Prince" area for the first few days after they arrived.

Firstly, she had the most complete information about the nightclub facilities here. Secondly, according to Xiyuan, if you play multiple nightclub games in the same area, you might get tickets.

After all, there were still more than ten days left, and the station had been determined. It would be better if you could get one more ticket at this station.

Otherwise, when you get to the next station, you have to find a ticket, which is very passive.

Tang Yatong and the other two hadn't participated in nightclub games for seven days, so they were a little rusty. After getting the information, they looked at it very carefully. However, after a few minutes, they heard Xiyuan's suppressed sobs at the other seat. It sounded like... he was being coquettish?

That's right. Xiyuan, who was originally sitting in another row, rubbed against Youxi's seat at some point and insisted that something was stuck on the hair on the back of his head. He came to her and asked her to help him look.

Lin Wu: ...

Tang Yatong: ...

chatterbox, clingy, and acting like a spoiled brat...

Both of them had a bit of a smile on their faces. This was something they had never seen before...

"Stop it, there's nothing on your hair." Youxi pushed the wolf head away.

Xiyuan straightened his head somewhat unhappily, and happened to meet the gaze of You Zhenzhen, who was sitting diagonally opposite him. The other party looked at him suspiciously, and her brows were about to be knotted. After

a moment, You Zhenzhen suddenly had an idea and signaled with her eyes: Damn, you are not coveting my mother, are you? Although I will not get involved in my mother's emotional affairs, at least it should be a person!

The wolf head raised his eyebrows: I'm very handsome, okay?

You Zhenzhen raised his eyebrows: A very handsome wolf? Hahaha, then it's still a wolf!

Xiyuan: ...

**

The temperature of the "Frog Prince" area is set at about five to ten degrees Celsius, which belongs to the early winter season. The plants here are mainly tall evergreen plants. It doesn't snow, but occasionally there will be fog in the early morning, and sometimes there will be a drizzle in the evening.

Apart from a few main roads, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and the road surface is deliberately made with ancient and old patterns to increase the sense of immersion.

The hotel where Youxi and Xiyuan stayed is next to such a bluestone road. It is a five-story pointed-roof building.

Most of the hotels in this area are old medieval buildings, usually five to six stories high, not very tall, with not many guest rooms inside, but a hotel usually has four to five small buildings.

The decoration in the room is relatively primitive stone walls with logs, and each room has a fireplace for heating and huge wooden lattice windows.

Because the rooms are free to check in, you must swipe your personal bracelet, so you can't book in advance if you are not there. After Lin Wu and the others arrived, You Xi took them back to the hotel first and asked for three more rooms in the small building where he stayed.

The fifth floor where You Xi and Xi Yuan lived was full, and the rooms of the three of them were all on the third floor, which happened to be connected.

After finishing these little things, it was already 5pm, and there were still three hours before the sun set at 8pm.

No one felt tired, and thinking of the nightmare park in the evening, they decided to go out and play all 15 projects in this section - no, to preview them.

In terms of personal age, You Zhenzhen is the youngest among all. She was 28 years old when she left the fragment world, and then lived in another world for five or six years. She crossed the space boundary again and went to Inner Tower, where she lived for another three or four years.

The time flow of Inner Tower is the same as that of Youxi's original world. When Leng Mian goes on a mission, or occasionally Leng Mian takes her on a mission, the time of Inner Tower is almost static.

Therefore, You Zhenzhen has the youngest mentality and still maintains the preferences of young people. She likes the fairy tale theme park in front of her very much. Others (mainly Tang Yatong) are here to prepare, and only she is here to play.

"It's been a long time since I went to an amusement park with so many people. I like the theme of GJGW Star more. It's so dreamy..." You Zhenzhen walked in front, checking the map on her wristband while telling everyone what the next facility was.

You Xi looked at her and thought of the ten years she had spent in the Storm Fragment World. In

those ten years, because of her and Tang Yatong, You Zhenzhen did not have to worry about food and clothing, and was always protected under their wings and safe. However, due to natural conditions, it could only be like this.

The land disappeared little by little. Let alone going to the amusement park, even if you wanted to go shopping, watch a movie, have afternoon tea with friends, drink a cup of coffee and eat a piece of cake, it was an unattainable luxury.

At that time, she looked at You Zhenzhen and always thought that she was still so young. When she left, she would be trapped in this small fragmented world for the rest of her life. If she gave birth to a child, her child would also be trapped in this world forever, over and over again...

Just by imagining it, she could foresee how hopeless that life would be.

And now, although they are in the mission world and have to face various emergencies and dangers all the time, they are together and move forward together in this vast world. No matter what the future holds, at least at this moment, their world is rich and colorful.

Especially this station, its hugeness completely exceeded her imagination.

A galaxy is a paradise, and humans can explore and travel in the universe, which is a world that is completely unreachable in her native world.

So, from a certain perspective, she is extremely grateful for being tied to the Star House at that time.

It was Xing Min who opened the door to the other world, allowing her to escape from her small single world and meet so many friends and family. Even though she encountered various dangers along the way, if she had to do it again, she would choose to be bound to the Star House without hesitation.

You Zhenzhen knew that Tang Yatong hated playing these facilities the most, so she would be the first to run to see her reaction after each project.

Tang Yatong had no idea what she was thinking. She was angry and amused. She hooked her arm around You Zhenzhen's neck and reached out to mess up her hair, making You Zhenzhen shout "Mom, save me..."

"Why are you shouting mom? I'm still your dad!" Tang Yatong thought of the years when she was taking care of the baby. This little girl would block her heart almost every few days. Thinking back, she was really sad.

You Zhenzhen couldn't get away from Tang Yatong, so she could only shout "Sister Yatong is the best and the most handsome..."

Lin Wu walked in the middle of the team. He looked at the people who were fighting in front of him and smiled with his head down.

The three of them transferred at the spaceship station on the same planet this time, and they were together for the next five days. He was no longer surprised.

You Xi walked at the end. Tang Yatong's words reminded her of the "stepfather" in the past. This girl probably didn't know that the sister Yatong in front of her was her contract boyfriend "Qu Yichen" who was regarded as her stepfather at the time.

So many past events, when recalling them, the road we have worked hard to walk together is always so warm, even those huge disasters and difficulties become insignificant.

At the side, Xiyuan stared at You Xi's profile in a daze. He had never seen her with such an expression.

Her eyes were very, very gentle, but behind this gentleness was an incomparable firmness, as if in order to wait for this moment of warmth and beauty, she could turn herself into a sharp blade at any time to cut off all enemies and protect them with everything she had.

He also smiled, and for the first time he did not act coquettishly, but like a brother, he stretched out his hand and rubbed her head: "I understand, they are very important to you, right?"

You Xi looked back at him, with surprise in her eyes.

"Your teammates are all your very important friends and family, right?" The big wolf head tilted slightly, and came in front of her, with a serious look in his eyes, "Don't worry, your friends and family are my friends and family, and I will protect them with you."

At 2 p.m., midnight, You Xi woke up and checked the facilities that were lit up in the bracelet amid the bells and the tender voices of children: the attacking golden ball.

She frowned. This facility was not among the fifteen amusement facilities during the day.

**

——Congratulations on being selected as the hidden amusement facility in the "Frog Prince" area.

Lin Wu, Tang Yatong and You Zhenzhen also had this facility lit up, and this line of blood-red words appeared below the lit icon. After seeing the lit facility, they immediately gathered in Youxi's room.

"We are all participating in the same amusement facility tonight?" You Zhenzhen was a little surprised. "Is this normal?"

"It's definitely not normal." Youxi looked at the door of the room. Originally, Xiyuan would always appear in her room at this time. Although he did not participate in nightclubs or serve as an NPC, because she had to participate in Nightmare Paradise every night, he would come over at this time to check her lit facilities and give her a few more instructions.

Youxi asked the three to wait for a while, and walked to the next room to knock on Xiyuan's door, but no one answered. He was not in the room.

Where else could he go at this time if he was not in the room?

The communication function of the bracelet had stopped, so she could only send him a message on her mobile phone.

But the other party did not reply until the four of them followed the map on the bracelet and came to the outside of "Attack of the Golden Sphere", and her mobile phone vibrated.

It was a message from Xiyuan, who seemed to be in too much of a hurry and did not have time to explain himself.

Xiyuan: "Attack of the Golden Sphere" is a special venue, which should be triggered when the number of passengers in this section reaches a certain standard. All the participants in this game tonight are passengers. In addition to the game itself, you must also be careful of similar fights. The specific game rules have not been released yet, but it is speculated that it should be related to the dark version of "The Frog Prince", so be careful!

Although Xiyuan didn't have time to talk about himself, Youxi guessed that because of this special situation, he should be pulled to be an NPC, and because of some restrictions, he didn't have time to explain too much to them.

But for now, these hints are enough.

Youxi looked at the people around him calmly, and didn't talk directly to Lin Wu and the others. Instead, he forwarded the message sent by Xiyuan to the team group on his mobile phone, and reminded them to pretend that they didn't know each other for the time being.

After all, after the passengers arrived at this station, the teams were very scattered and separated, and the countdown was tight. Few teams were like them. They confirmed the hidden station in a few days, and then everyone gathered together again.

If the team was shown at this time, it would definitely be eliminated by other scattered passengers as the number one enemy.

So, the four people not only did not stand together, but each chose a corner and stood a little apart, and tried to keep calm when sending messages.

While the number of people was not yet complete and the amusement facilities had not yet opened the door, Youxi talked about the dark version again.

There are indeed two versions of "The Frog Prince", the two versions have completely different plots, and the two protagonists: the princess and the frog have completely different personalities.

The most popular version is the truth, goodness and beauty version, in which the frog helps the princess find the golden ball, the princess keeps her promise and kisses the frog, and the frog becomes a prince and lives happily together with the princess.

But in another version, the frog did not ask for a kiss. It wanted to be the princess's companion, play games together, eat together, and sleep together. It could use all the princess's exquisite tableware and bedroom like the princess. The princess agreed, but broke her promise after the frog found the golden ball.

The frog ran to the castle and yelled. When the king knew about it, he asked the princess to fulfill her promise. The princess let the frog in, held it in her arms with disgust, and let it use her own tableware and chairs. But in the end, after the frog asked to sleep in her bed, she couldn't bear it anymore and smashed the frog against the wall.

After that, the frog turned into a prince and took the princess back to his kingdom.

In this version, the princess was untrustworthy and had a very bad temper, and the frog repeatedly threatened the princess with the king, but in the end, they were able to achieve a happy ending, which really made Youxi feel incredible.

In fact, many of the selected stories in Grimm's fairy tales were originally very dark. These stories were originally written for adults, including "Snow White", which is just a dark ethical story about a biological father and daughter who were found out by their biological mother.

These stories were modified and embellished by the Grimm brothers, and the original dark stories were packaged into beautiful fairy tales, which led to the widely circulated Grimm's fairy tales.
