Escape from Paradise (Part 3)
Xu Wei looked serious and nodded silently.
Although there are a lot of rules and restrictions given upon admission, and the "cannots" and "cannots" are clearly stated, considering the nature of the copy in the past, I always feel that there are some key things hidden.
It's like putting together a puzzle with 999 pieces, but missing the most important piece.
Unable to think of anything for a while, Xu Wei had to put his guess aside for the time being: "Let's do the task first. This is written in the rules."
The beverage cart was not far away, it was right at the fountain square upon entering. When the two arrived, the children who had formed a circle around the beverage cart had already dispersed.
Xu Wei slowly approached and looked at the beverage cart.
It looks like a small bus, with a blue body and covered with various cartoon stickers, and a pink cursive menu printed on the window glass.
The structure inside the car is simple, with only a bar for making drinks and small fabric leather stools for sitting.
The owner of the car sat on a small leather stool. He had broad shoulders and a thin body. He wore a pink bib and a small red hat. He said in a deep voice like a cow: "What do you want to buy?"
His voice was so low that Xu Wei glanced at him while studying the menu: "Excuse me, do you have a large cup of Lele Huo Huo blood ice cream?"
Red Hat sat there for a while before turning around slowly to get the crispy ice cream cone: "Yes."
"Hey wait! Can we ask the price before we drink?" Xu Wei hurriedly stopped him.
"Oh..." He turned back and put his long hands on the table, "Happy Life, a big cup of blood, and ice cream."
"How much?"
He answered hesitantly: "Five dollars."
Xu Wei asked again: "Do you know Grandpa Doll? I heard he loves to drink this."
Red Hat tilted his head, trying to read her lips.
"know."
Xu Wei slowed down his speech: "What does he look like?"
"An old tiger head in the square."
"Thank you very much."
At his speaking speed, it would take a lot of effort to find out the overall image of the doll grandfather. Xu Wei simply gave up on communicating and searched with his eyes.
Although the square is large, there are not many people with strange appearances. Most of them are people wearing doll costumes and playing with children. Among the colorful clothes, the figure of a man in tiger-head overalls is particularly eye-catching.
After running across most of the square, Xu Wei stretched out his arms to block its path: "Grandpa Doll?"
The tiger head's nostrils were facing her, revealing two cloudy eyeballs in the hollows. It turned around and said in a voice like gravel scraping against paper: "What's the matter?"
Xu Wei tried to smile to show his friendliness: "I would like to treat you to a large cup of Lele Huo Huo ice cream."
"No, I'm tired of drinking." The doll grandfather lowered his head and walked around her to leave.
"No," Xu Wei pulled his arm, "Is there any preparatory task to be done?"
Unexpectedly, he suddenly swung his hand away, and thick claws popped out from under his nails, and a foul smell hit his face.
"roll!"
His throat was hoarse, suppressing waves of unhappy growls, like the final warning of a ferocious beast facing a threat.
Get off my territory.
A blood-red claw mark suddenly appeared on Xu Wei's arm, and the skin and flesh were turned inside out, oozing out fine beads of blood.
Gritting his teeth to hold back the tears, Xu Wei used his skills and looked at Lu Fanye: "Five minutes."
Lu Fanye ran towards the beverage cart.
Her arm was bleeding and burning with pain. She frowned and looked at Grandpa Doll: "Since you don't want to eat on your own initiative, then please bear with the fatigue."
If it wasn't the early stage of the dungeon, it would be difficult to alert the enemy...
The latter's eyes widened in disbelief, and he struggled hard, but could not move at all. He let out a violent roar from his nose, but his body involuntarily followed the rhythm of the gymnastics music.
"Shoulder exercise, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, two, two, three, four..."
Xu Wei was secretly pleased, but he still fanned the flames: "Yes, that's it. Draw a circle with your hands. Not bad, better than Du Xingye's. I'll reward you with ice cream later."
The tiger's roar became louder and louder, as if an engine was roaring at full speed, scaring the tourists with children nearby and making them hide away.
“I’m going to kill you!!”
"Eat your flesh raw and tear your skin to pieces!!"
"I will cut you into pieces!"
Xu Wei stood beside him and covered his ears, watching Lu Fanye running towards him eagerly again, much faster than when he left.
In his hand he held a blood-red ice cream cone with a small eyeball decoration on the top. A few streaks of melted blood were oozing out from the edge of the cone and dripping onto his fingers.
After a few steps, the blood ice cream shrank visibly.
Without saying a word, Lu Fanye inserted the crisp tube into the doll grandfather's hand. The latter just raised his arms and held up the tiger head, just like a cartoon version of the Statue of Liberty.
The old man was still howling, and he checked off two and three on the task list, and no more tasks were refreshed.
"Have you finished today's mission?"
"Well, retreat first."
In order to avoid being accidentally injured by the violent old man, the two evacuated immediately. Xu Wei's injury could not be delayed, so after leaving the square, he ran to several surrounding stores and finally bought a string of bandages with dinosaur stickers printed on them for ten yuan.
After treating the wound, Xu Wei felt guilty: "The pirate ship cost twenty, the ice cream five, plus the bandage ten, the first park cost thirty-five. If only I had been more careful."
The money from the bandages is enough to take one more ride tomorrow.
Lu Fanye bandaged her wound tightly and said, "Instead of cutting costs, it's better to increase revenue and see if we can make money."
There are no spherical people here, and there is not even a mark of the park management office on the map. The two asked several restaurants in a row. At first, the boss thought they were here to consume and smiled. But when he heard that they were here to find a job, his face turned black and he drove them out.
After being rejected by the owner of the "Red Pepper Happy Lunch" restaurant again, Xu Wei counted on his fingers: "It costs money to ride the rides, it costs money to eat, and even if I get hurt, I have to pay. With one hundred yuan, the system itself can't make it through one ring within five days..."
My arm aches, but it's not as painful as the pain from spending more money than I earn.
"I really want to give that kid a swollen eye."
I wish I could cheat him out of another bandage.
I sighed and was about to turn around and go to the next restaurant when a melodious bell sounded in the distance.
As the sky darkened, colorful cardboard arrived as expected, fluttering down like snowflakes falling on the earth.
Xu Wei looked up at the sky and picked up a card that fell on his arm: "Are there more cards?"
As she fell for longer, the cards accumulated in a shallow layer at the soles of her feet, almost covering the entire ground.
This is not a good sign.
She remembered clearly that she did not put the cards on her chest during the first wave of card rain. After a while, the Sad Frog took effect automatically, but the cards she stepped on did not produce any effect.
Based on this, it can be inferred that the card is likely to be effective only when it is in contact with the skin, and may even have a time limit. It will automatically transform into a nameplate after being held for a certain period of time.
If the card rain gets heavier, once every three hours, there will be at least six waves based on business hours. If the number of each wave increases successively, people may come into contact with them more and more as time goes by, and it will be difficult for a person not to hold multiple nameplates at the same time.
If it's "Sad Frog" or "Dignified Lady", it's okay...
Xu Wei looked at the card in his hand.
murderer
Holding effect: Killing belongs to you, you are a natural criminal expert, go ahead, believe in yourself, and create your own hell.
Holding time: five hours.
If your hands shake, throw it away immediately.
"It would be nice if I had a lighter." He burned each picture he saw.
She picked and chose for a long time on the ground, and finally chose one that she liked, and then she put it against her chest.
Precisionism
Holding effect: You never allow reckless things to happen, otherwise you will suffer greatly.
Holding time: two hours.
Xu Wei saw that Lu Fanye also picked one and asked curiously: "What did you choose?"
Lu Fanye said expressionlessly: "Although I have looked at many cards, I have not been able to choose a satisfactory one. Some of the cards are very creepy, such as the bomber, and the poisoner that fell from your arm."
"I found that these side effect cards will follow people when they fall, and the cards with normal effects are not only rare but also very scattered."
"As for me, the nameplate I chose will not have any actual impact on me. It can even promote our communication and liven up the team atmosphere. It is also conducive to our increasing revenue and reducing expenditure and creating a prosperous tomorrow together."
Xu Wei was stunned. After a while, she came to her senses and looked at the nameplate.
"A chatty salesman?"
really.
Xu Wei wanted to laugh at him, but couldn't help saying, "I admit that what you said is reasonable, but at the same time, the chatterbox card may also cause danger in the future - for example, you talk too much nonsense and miss the point at a critical moment, causing me, as your partner, to completely fail to understand what you mean, and ultimately lead to mission failure."
"Therefore, I suggest you think carefully next time you make a choice, so that I can plan the next direction in a comprehensive manner."
I didn’t think so!!
Lu Fanye's eyes showed a struggle: "I don't agree with your point of view. First of all, communication is a very important thing. We are in a dungeon world. The surrounding ghosts and monsters and the mutual traps among fellow players make teammates more and more important. What do teammates need most? It is communication, and it is tireless..."
"Effective communication is much more important than your nonsense. The most important thing is to be cautious," Xu Wei interrupted, and then covered his mouth with all his strength, "Besides, you are too conceited, which is not conducive to..."
Lu Fanye interrupted her with a dull look: "Please respect my right to speak. In my opinion, your idea is wrong and..."
"but……"
"I……"
One hour.
For a whole hour, the two stood next to the park restaurant, criticizing and refuting each other's views. Their voices became louder and louder, and the argument became so fierce that most of the tourists who wanted to enter the restaurant were driven away by their spit.
There was a long queue at the fried chicken shop not far away, but here there were few customers. Only one or two brave people walked past them and looked back at the two from time to time.
It's finally over.
Xu Wei almost collapsed on the ground, his throat aching: "This is too strong."
Lu Fanye may not have spoken as much as he did today in his entire life. His eyes were dazed and his expression was confused. Although he looked normal, he seemed as if he had been tortured by a storm.
The restaurant owner, who was hiding behind the glass door, noticed that they had stopped fighting and quietly opened the door.
Cautiously: “You want to make money?”
He was pushing the two of them out an hour ago.
Xu Wei coughed: "Do you have a way?"
This sentence makes them seem even wilder, like social people who come to collect rent on the street.
The boss bowed his head even lower and smiled reluctantly: "This is the official restaurant of the park. We can't accept any guests. It's not that I don't want to accept you two. I'm so sorry."
"Then why did you come out? To watch the fun?"
"No, no, no, don't worry." The boss quickly shrank back into the door, revealing only half of his body. "I just want to tell you that you can go play the five major projects. There's a promotion going on right now. You'll be rewarded 100 yuan and a white star for each play."
"What does White Star do?"
"The more stars you collect, the closer you get to the front of the show. You should know there's a closing show in five days, right?" The boss squeezed his body closer and closer to the door, leaving only half his head. "Of course you have to sit in the front row to watch the show."
Finally, he retracted his head and urged: "I've told you everything, hurry up and leave!"
The door slammed shut. The tourists sitting by the window were changing seats with their plates in their hands. The boss and a group of employees were lying behind the door, waving their hands at them, and their mouths were all saying "go away".
Well, I was disliked.
Xu Wei sighed, looked at the big clock, it was 1:15 in the afternoon, touched his stomach for a while, and asked: "Are you hungry?"
Lu Fanye temporarily regained his mental state, and after hearing what he said, he felt: "Not too hungry."
"Then go and have a look?"
