The clay sculpting competition at the pottery park is actually just a game for children.
The so-called ranking was based on children voting for each other. Each child had two votes, which they could only cast for others, not for themselves.
There are only four children in total, plus Xia Tianqiong, the eldest child, making a total of five.
The result was predictable.
Xia Tianqiong, that ugly and unattractive clay figure, received the most votes.
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him," these children, having eaten Xia Tianqiong's spiritual fruit, naturally had to cast their votes.
Perhaps if my brother is happy, he'll give them some spirit fruits to eat!
Just as they had hoped, after the competition ended, Xia Tianqiong brought out a bunch of spiritual fruits, which delighted them.
The female shop assistant stood to the side, a smile playing on her lips. "Congratulations! This is the prize for first place."
She handed me a piece of clay, about the size of a cantaloupe, and explained the purpose of shaping clay.
Xia Tianqiong looked at the other person and suddenly had a thought.
"Would you like to form a contract with me? I'll give you 50,000 ghost money every month, and you'll also have access to spirit fruits and spirit wine. There are many benefits."
Although I was told that I couldn't make a contract with the strange creatures here, I still wanted to try, or find out why I couldn't make a contract with them.
The female shop assistant's eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of joy instantly spread across her face.
It was obvious that she was very excited and tempted.
But the next second, his expression suddenly darkened, and he slowly lowered his head.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Xia Tianqiong assumed that she had something difficult to say. "If you have any questions, you can tell me. Maybe I can help."
The shop assistant sighed softly, a hint of sorrow in her voice, "You can't help us."
He turned and left after saying that, unwilling to say anything more.
Xia Tianqiong stood still. Although the other party didn't say anything, some things could be inferred from their tone, expression, and the word "we".
"Big brother, it's my turn!" A voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Xia Tianqiong turned around, and behind him was the little boy whose secrets had not yet been deciphered. He held a spirit fruit in both hands, munching on it while staring at him with sad eyes.
"Speak up, you're the only one missing!"
"Brother, my mom is missing. Can you help me find her?"
"no problem."
Everyone says my mom is the most beautiful. She's right here, so don't get the wrong one!
"Don't worry, you'll see your beautiful mother soon."
Xia Tianqiong looked at the little boy with a half-smile and reached out to pat his head.
Outside the pottery park.
The twelve people stood in a row by the window, each staring intently at what was happening inside.
They gradually realized that the person inside seemed to have some skills.
Breaking two rules in a row brought him far more benefits than others, which is truly enviable.
Fu Qing slapped his thigh, looking regretful. "If I had known this guy was so capable, I should have let him go in first. That way, everyone could learn from him and get more rewards."
"Yeah, I got two pieces of sculpting clay, which together don't even amount to a tenth of what others get. I'm so regretful."
"All this talk is nonsense. Now let's see if he can crack the last mystery."
"That's something that's never been cracked, so it's probably going to be tough."
The crowd chimed in with their own words, expressing both envy and anticipation.
Of all the people, Xiao Zijun was the one who most hoped that Xia Tianqiong could solve the last strange mystery.
But the words he uttered always carried a derogatory tone.
"Don't be too happy yet. In order to crack this boy's mystery, the Xinglian Alliance sent out more than 30 mystery hunters, all of which ended in failure."
More than twenty people died inside and were turned into ceramic figures. Even if this kid has some cleverness, he might not be able to crack the code successfully.
The crowd was used to his speaking style, so they neither refuted nor agreed with him.
Only Fu Qing, being rather sarcastic, remarked, "Captain Xiao, what if he cracks it?"
Xiao Zijun's face immediately darkened, and he gave Fu Qing an unfriendly glance. "If we crack it, it will be a good thing for all of us. He will get a reward from his supervisor."
After saying all that, he added, "This boy is desperately looking for his mother, and his search is limited to the amusement park, but he has already tried everything inside."
The ceramic figures, ceramic animals, ceramic utensils, as well as the children, parents, and female shop assistants, are not the boy's mother.
It could be said that this seemingly simple rule of death is actually impossible to break. So many people haven't been able to find a way to break it, I don't believe he can.
Everyone pondered it carefully, then shook their heads, unable to come up with a solution.
Fu Qing suddenly shouted and laughed wildly, "I've got it! This is a pottery shop, I can just make a clay figure for him to be his mother!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing that this method was worth trying.
When they looked at Xiao Zijun, they were met with a disdainful sneer.
"Do you think we're all fools? This method has been tried before, and more than once, but unfortunately, it still failed."
Fu Qing's smile froze, and he sighed, "This won't work, that won't work, it seems that guy inside is doomed."
"Look, what is he doing?" someone suddenly called out.
Everyone quickly turned their attention back to it.
Inside the amusement park, Xia Tianqiong held the clay figure she had sculpted in her left hand, picked up a carving knife from the table with her right hand, and carved three words on the back of the clay figure.
Then he handed the clay figure to the little boy, saying, "This is your mother, isn't she beautiful?"
The little boy was eating a spirit fruit when he saw the ugly mud figure and suddenly stopped.
He wrinkled his nose, his eyes clearly showing his dislike.
