Escape from Paradise (End)
"Hello? Ahem, test the microphone..."
The abrupt female voice interrupted the countdown of the strange sound, and the crowd was slightly excited by this sudden episode.
"What tricks is the copy playing?"
"What are you doing? Don't make things complicated. I'm ready to vote."
"Damn, the person who was talking seemed to be the VIP sitting in the front row. I just saw her ask the waiter to go backstage to get something..."
"Is it the one who came here on a dragon this morning?"
The noise grew louder.
Xu Wei held the microphone, stood up slowly, and turned slightly to face all the players.
The big screen behind her was broadcasting live simultaneously. The face that usually looked harmless, soft and even sweet now seemed extremely indifferent. Her eyes stared coldly at the audience through the screen. It was as if the pause button was pressed wherever her gaze fell, and those who were stared at stopped whispering.
The voice in the microphone was high-pitched, calm, and somewhat nonchalant.
"Everyone, I am visitor No. 001 in this instance."
As soon as the voice came out, the whole audience fell silent.
She raised her lips slightly, nodded slightly towards the stage, and looked around the crowd again with satisfaction: "Director, since it was nominated by the tourists themselves, my teammates and I are the only two four-star tourists, so we should be able to say a few words, right?"
Without waiting for the strange voice to reply, she tapped the table with her fingertips: "If four stars are not enough, I think it's not too late to buy another one now."
"Buy another one? Two hundred Paradise Coins for one. They won't have completed all five projects, right?"
“That’s awesome, is this the VIP…” Someone in the audience was talking in a low voice.
The voice on the stage seemed stunned as well, as if they hadn't expected her to get the microphone and interrupt.
"you……"
"The director has agreed," Xu Wei interrupted with a smile, supporting the table with one hand, "In that case, I will say a few words as a representative of the tourists."
"As you may have seen in the video, I like to tame some small animals. They are very cute and obedient," she walked forward and leisurely walked to the front row of seats. She slowly placed one hand on the table. "For example, the twelve-headed bird that flew over the park that day. Its heads like to quarrel with each other. It's a bit naughty, but it has never quarreled with me."
With a suggestive smile, she glanced at the people in front of her, especially the player who had just pointed at her and talked behind her back.
The big screen updated her every move and subtle expression in real time, and meaningful words were loudly broadcast through the stage speakers. The venue suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
A subtle threat.
Xu Wei withdrew his hand from the table with satisfaction and nodded to everyone: "I believe that since everyone can enter this dungeon, the probability of 'consumables' is very low. I just want to emphasize one point - as players, which side we are on and which side we should consider."
"Based on this, I hope that the final situation will be a win-win situation." She straightened her back, raised her head slightly, and her eyes remained indifferent and calm. "I hope that you can sincerely consider my proposal."
The words "sincerity" are emphasized.
"Speaking of which, I want to introduce another cute little one of mine to you. It looks quite fierce, has sharp teeth, and runs very fast. I believe you all saw how vigorous and energetic it is last night," Xu Wei smiled, as if she was really talking about a cute little pet. "Since you are nominating the director, you must be familiar with the park and represent the overall image of our park. As one of the five major projects, the Dinosaur Siege left a deep impression on us last night, so..."
"No! How can a dinosaur be the director of the zoo?!" the voice interrupted hurriedly, "Don't interfere with the election process!"
Xu Wei raised an eyebrow, as if puzzled: "But just now you only said that the most expressive award was to be selected, and you didn't specify that it must be a tourist. Isn't it in line with the meaning of the election for me to stand here and recommend?"
She turned around with a smile: "Why don't we ask other tourists what they think?"
“I support it!”
Fu Fenglou slammed the knife on the table, stood up and shouted in support: "Choosing a dinosaur not only fits the image of the park, but also further showcases the style of the five major projects. I believe that if it becomes the director, it will definitely be able to run the park very well!"
“Snap, snap, snap.”
Shaya clapped in her seat, and Corey beside her said in unison: "I think except for the Giganotosaurus outside, all the dinosaurs that appeared last night can share the responsibility of honorary director. This will also help you share the worries. The five of us fully agree with this!"
He raised his hands along with the two friends beside him, and Shaya also supported him by hugging Shali.
Li Xia was not willing to be outdone. He jumped up from his seat, took out a loudspeaker, and shouted deafeningly: "Director!! I understand that you are unhappy. After all, this dinosaur brother is so outstanding. It is normal for you to be afraid that you cannot compare to him."
"There are always people who feel guilty before the competition even begins..."
The crowd started to boo.
The voice was angry: "You are just making up excuses! Why don't you..."
"But you can't deprive it of the right to run for election, right? That's not fair!" Li Xia raised the volume to cover its voice. "How about having Player 1 call it in now, and you talk to it?"
Let’s see who can beat whom between you two?
"The countdown continues! Ten, nine, ..."
The voice tried to pull the scene back, and Xu Wei immediately interrupted: "Can you give our new candidate a shot? Although it didn't come, it wanted to come very much, and it even saved a ticket with me. Unfortunately, the trestle built by your theater is completely incompatible with its size. Is there any species discrimination against larger candidates?"
"Hey, oh, what about democracy, fairness, and openness?" Li Xia said sarcastically, "You're not even allowed to enter?"
"The Dinosaur Siege project has been closed. There are no dinosaurs in the park now..."
"No, it's there." Xu Wei interrupted it affirmatively, pursed her lips and looked at the big screen.
The most basic elements that make up a copy are murderous intent, survival conditions and rules that override the two. "It" provides the murderous intent for the copy, and the system provides the players with the conditions to break the murderous intent - this is her new understanding of passing the level through the information revealed by the high-dimensional creatures.
Therefore, Xu Wei speculated that the deeper meaning of the sentence "there will be no deadlock in the copy" is that even in the inevitable death option, there is a chance to turn around that is recognized by the rules. Once the player seizes the copy loophole to counterattack, the system will try its best to provide the conditions for counterattack.
The director announced the election for the "Most Expressive Award" and emphasized the additional consequence of "the honorary director must stay" so that visitors can choose for themselves. This is to deliberately blur the "nomination" link and the scope of candidates, so as to aggravate players' panic and lead to conflicts and divisions.
What Xu Wei needs to do is to tear open this loophole and show it to the rules openly.
Now, it was time for the system to confirm her guess.
She put down the phone and whispered to herself, "Come on, if it shows up, I will truly believe that interstellar civilization is here to help humanity."
A new candidate box appears in the lower right corner of the screen.
Its number - 093 - first appeared in the frame, and then it passed through the vast lake and the steaming water vapor. The picture gradually zoomed in and became clear, with the focus concentrated on the withered giant dragon.
It still maintains the posture of "Wife-Looking Stone", standing motionless and looking at the theater entrance.
Li Xia was moved: "It's true, I cried to death."
Xu Wei raised the corners of his lips again, and raised the two banknotes between his fingertips: "It has two hundred Paradise Coins deposited with me to exchange for the White Star."
The next moment, the banknotes at the fingertips disappeared, and the huge body of the Behemoth Dragon suddenly appeared in the ordinary seats, crushing nearly dozens of seats with its butt.
A burst of panicked fleeing sounds broke out near the dragon's body.
"Oh?"
The Giganotosaurus hadn't figured out what was going on yet. It looked around in confusion and saw that there were delicious humans everywhere. Immediately, its eyes flashed with ferocity, and it raised its front paws high, ready to attack.
Xu Wei coughed while holding the microphone.
“Ouch!”
The players were surprised to find that the dragon, who had just looked ferocious, suddenly had his pupils brighten, stopped attacking, and looked around expectantly with his head raised.
"Crash..." A row of chairs were knocked down by the tail.
"I told you that dinosaurs are no good! Take it back now!" The voice seemed to have been muted for a while before it was released, and he roared angrily on the stage, "Get it out!!"
"Come here." Xu Wei waved at the Giganotosaurus, who immediately stared at her, excitedly strode over a dozen rows of seats and rushed to her, then swung its tail, smashing the round table of the VIP seats into pieces.
"My chair!!" the voice on the stage was about to break.
The Giganotosaurus understood that he was being scolded, and not willing to be outdone, he roared towards the stage, causing the stage decorations to fall down with a clang.
There was no sound on the stage.
Xu Wei touched the Megalosaurus's drooping head and said, "Be good."
Turning his head lightly, he said, "Let's start voting."
Passed unanimously.
Xu Wei was somewhat surprised by the result. She thought that her arrogant attitude would not only shock most players but also attract a lot of hatred. However, she did not expect that no one would vote for her.
This year's players are pretty good.
The voice no longer had the arrogance it had just now, and it was weak: "I declare that the winner of this year's Most Expressive Award is, is..."
"Xiao Hei." Xu Wei looked at the Giganotosaurus standing obediently on the stage with a little red flower on its head and reminded him.
"Xiao Hei... let's congratulate it..." Its voice became lower and lower.
"Very good," Xu Wei was waiting for it to finish, and immediately interrupted, "Since our new honorary director cannot speak, I will serve as the temporary spokesperson to announce two important events on behalf of the director."
She smiled at the Giganotosaurus, who immediately roared in response.
"First, modify Rule 5 of the park's rules. Visitors can and should beat up staff and destroy park buildings. Anyone who enforces this rule will receive the park's highest reward."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Fanye, who opened the colorful notebook, glanced at it, and nodded slightly at her.
Great, the rules were modified successfully.
"this……"
The voice was hesitant and trying to stop it, but the giant dragon opened its mouth wide on the stage and tore off a large piece of curtain.
"Ah!!" it screamed on the stage.
"Its main body is a stage!!" The people in the audience reacted quickly.
No one needed to remind them; once the rules were lifted, the players became like wild dogs that had broken free from their reins, and began to vent frantically the frustrations they had felt since entering the park.
We are all veterans with some protection. We don't beat up NPCs when we usually go through dungeons, but we are not afraid of them. Once we enter this dungeon, we are restricted from beginning to end...
The Giganotosaurus hurriedly ran to Xu Wei and rubbed her fearfully.
Xu Wei staggered and almost dropped the microphone.
She supported the dragon's head and stood up again. She looked back at the stage to catch her breath. Amid the heart-wrenching screams, she smiled and said, "Second, I declare that the Dark Paradise will be closed from today on, forever..."
At this point, she felt a little bit of resistance, but still said it forcefully: "Closed. The creatures in the paradise are forbidden to harm foreign creatures anymore. At the same time, all taboos and restraints are lifted and they are free again. No rules are to be imposed on them anymore, until... the paradise disappears forever."
As soon as she said this, her whole body trembled violently, and she fell to the ground as she suddenly lost all her strength. Her whole body became limp, and even her eyelids began to droop.
The Giganotosaurus was so anxious that he pushed her with his head frantically, causing her to roll over on the ground twice without getting up.
It has no hands.
Realizing this problem, the Giganotosaurus stood there in a daze.
Lu Fanye rushed over and picked up Xu Wei. After confirming that she was just asleep, he looked up and looked into Long's eyes.
He choked.
What happened to cause him to see the "broken feeling" in the eyes of a fierce beast?
Foolish humans don't know that dragons in love are sentimental.
“Pah.”
A huge tear fell from the dragon's eyes. It shook its front legs sadly and tried to lower its head to observe. However, its head was too big and it couldn't see the scene below the neck. It looked heavily at Lu Fanye's hands holding Xu Wei.
The dragon was heartbroken.
“Wow…Ah!!”
With a whimper, the Giganotosaurus stomped its feet on the ground anxiously. Seeing that Xu Wei was still unconscious, it finally collapsed and ran away howling.
The movement of its huge body caused the ground to tremble, as if its dragon heart was trembling in pain.
The first love of the Megazord was forever broken up because he could not embrace the other person with his hands.
