Long Duo regretted not following his heart and forming an alliance with Cheng Shuang and the other three from the beginning, but what's done is done. Even if he flattered and fawned, all he got was being thrown onto the screen as a vanguard.

Long Duo truly lives up to his name, he's overthinking things. Cheng Shuang and the other three don't care about him at all. As long as he doesn't have any ulterior motives, no one will do anything to him!

Even if he were to be shown on screen, it would be because his shallow scheming would be exposed in front of the Du brothers and even Cheng Shuang.

Why should others tolerate his insincere attitude?

Given Long Duo's cold-hearted and selfish nature, he probably feels that he has compromised no matter what kind of people or things he encounters!

The four of them took ten minutes to close their eyes and rest for a while, regaining some energy. When the theme song of the third movie started playing, they slowly opened their eyes, listened to the music, and shared their popcorn and drinks.

Believe it or not, these two snacks actually do replenish energy.

However, the effects are not as immediate as those of pills; after a certain period of use, the benefits gradually slow down.

Don't even think about restoring their mental strength; it would be a pleasant surprise if they could even boost their physical strength back.

Fortunately, although I was a bit nervous in the last two games, strictly speaking, my mental energy was not severely depleted.

Before the movie officially started, a few scattered moviegoers entered through the entrance, at least a third fewer than during the first two screenings.

Cheng Shuang remembered that there were two other maintenance workers queuing up behind her to buy tickets. They didn't appear in the 'Three' screening room, presumably because they had chosen other types of movies.

If the joint ticket was aimed at the maintainers, and Liu Juan met up with them before the second movie, then if the other two maintainers were alive, they would most likely be here now, and Long Duo would most likely choose to ally with them.

The little girl didn't tell the three of them about her idea. She kept observing the porch until the movie officially started and the door was locked, but the two of them didn't appear.

She silently pursed her lips, a feeling of melancholy welling up inside her, but she quickly dismissed it with indifference.

Having witnessed so many life-and-death situations, it would be a lie to say I'm not numb.

Cheng Shuang simply hoped that the people she cared about would be safe and sound, and even if death was inevitable, she didn't want them to suffer all kinds of pain and torment, leaving behind too many regrets.

Including herself.

Who doesn't want to live?

But life is unpredictable!

The third movie was Cowboy's End. The moment it started playing, Cheng Shuang's mind went completely blank.

Because they were sucked into the movie scene.

He rode a horse and cracked the whip, taking on the role of a tough cowboy.

The little girl even had two small mustaches on her lips, making her nickname, "Little Bob the Short Gunner," quite fitting.

Putting aside the harsh environment of the desert under the scorching sun, this stage was actually passed by very smoothly.

The simple plot and the disparity in numbers and strength between the two sides created a one-sided and easy situation.

The cowboy team consists of Cheng Shuang, the Du brothers, and Liu Juan.

Alien: Longdo, and plastic moviegoers controlled by the alien Longdo.

Customers like these entering the Wanwuda Shopping Center don't use any special tools. They are just like the most ordinary consumers in the normal world, even storing their bags in the public lockers outside the cinema, enjoying themselves however they please.

Therefore, they lost a battle decided by physical strength because they were completely powerless.

Cheng Shuang and Liu Juan didn't even have a chance to go on stage.

Du Lanshan used the last ten minutes of his skill time to first turn the weak-willed alien Long Duo into his subordinate, and then... that was the end of it.

What can those plastic figures that only make weird noises do besides scare people by taking off their heads and limbs?

Using your head to fill with sand and arrange flowers to beautify the environment?

Or will she serve as a large-scale Barbie model for little girls' dress-up games?

The plastic moviegoers were left by Dulanshan to the local cowboys; at least they could help the cowboys practice their marksmanship...

How about an immortal target?

The four, who received high praise and friendship from the cowboys, drank a lot of local specialty cloudy beer in a noisy bar and passed the level perfectly.

After Liu Juan walked out of the screening room with her reward for passing the test—a carnival shopping voucher given to her by the Wanwuda Cinema—she became dazed.

Although her first film was a comedy, it also had elements of thriller and suspense. She almost got accused of being the murderer while playing one of the suspects and was imprisoned for life.

Fortunately, among the plastic moviegoers, there were those who considered her one of their own and chose to give her the opportunity to recount the case and overturn the verdict. Otherwise, her ending would have been the same as that of the five beauties' friend and Long Duo: losing the duel, trapped in the movie, and her fate uncertain.

Was this match really that easy?

This doesn't even seem real!

Cheng Shuang didn't share Liu Juan's complicated emotions; the little girl happily examined the carnival shopping voucher closely.

Both sides feature flashy line maps and text advertisements. The front side highlights the must-see attractions on Carnival Night, including a cinema, a children's entertainment area, an arcade, and a haunted house.

Here's a little helpful tip: Complete at least five of the ten challenges for a special surprise.

They didn't expect any special surprises, but they were mentally prepared for some kind of shock.

The shopping voucher had the cinema's location stamped with the cinema's official seal, indicating that they had already watched the movie. The four of them planned to go together for the rest.

The haunted house was unanimously rejected, and four other projects were temporarily selected: a children's play area, a game room, a baby care center, and a gym.

Of course, in a place like a gym, which is primarily about physical exertion, Du Lanshan is the home turf. Liu Juan loves children, and she and Du Lushui are mainly in charge of the childcare center and children's play area.

Cheng Shuang was interested in the arcade. She had never been to one before but had longed to go. However, the three adults were worried about letting a little girl who had never been to an arcade go and try her luck. But considering the child's self-esteem, they didn't directly advise her. Instead, they exchanged knowing glances and told each other to keep a close eye on her.

On the other side are ten designated restaurants and beverage shops for the carnival's food, drink, and rest areas. Two of these restaurants and two beverage shops offer a 50% discount on set meals, while the remaining six offer a maximum discount of 20% on set meals.

Remembering the effects of the popcorn and drinks they had bought, Cheng Shuang suggested finding a restaurant for a short rest and adjustment.

Although I recovered the physical energy from watching the three movies, I was still mentally exhausted from being so stressed.

The three adults had no objections and ultimately decided to go to the restaurant with the closest discount on the way. However, when they arrived there, there were many plastic figures waiting for a table outside, and the restaurant was so crowded that they couldn't even get in.

The group decisively changed their route and went to another place. They found that almost all the restaurants and beverage shops that offered 50% off deals were packed, and occasionally they could see a few maintenance workers waiting in line with indifferent expressions.

The four of them reluctantly discussed the matter and, after careful consideration, decided to choose the most expensive beverage shop in the shopping voucher package, which was still discounted by 20%. There was a Western restaurant across the street that also offered a 20% discount, so if the Western restaurant was also crowded, they could just rest at the beverage shop.

This moment brings to mind the scene of shopping at a mall on a weekend in the real world, and the inexplicable feeling of exhaustion when you can't even spend money...
