Chapter 24 Can You Give Me a Bit of Food?
The moment he opened his eyes, Xu Ren'er was shocked.
In front of her, there was fairy mist and green mountains. The auditorium had completely disappeared. She could not see any shadow of the auditorium, nor could she hear any sound from the auditorium.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of falling water. She turned around abruptly and saw a huge pool of water, sparkling and clear blue. Around the pool, a dozen elves were running around on the ground.
The elf is only about the height of an adult's arm. It has a transparent light green shell and a pair of deep blue eyes, which take up two-thirds of its face. Its bulbous nose is very small, about the size of the little finger's nail. Its pale yellow cherry mouth is particularly eye-catching, and it looks like a chicken's mouth.
These elves all stood upright, each with two pairs of snow-white wings growing behind them. They flapped their wings hard, but the height they flew to was truly indescribable.
The sound of falling into the water that Xu Ren'er just heard was caused by one of the elves not paying attention and falling in.
The elf was neither impatient nor anxious. After floating on the water for a few seconds, it flapped its wings twice and returned to the ground from the water.
Xu Ren'er thought for a moment, associated it with the notice he received three days ago, and instantly guessed the origin of these elves.
This should be the free-range chicken mentioned in the notice. Because she took the illusion pill, her cognition has changed dramatically.
Ignoring these elves, she cautiously looked around, took a step, and her boots quickly turned into giant claws, which she held in front of her body, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
Across the pond, she found a large pile of firewood. The firewood had a dark purple outer skin, with pink stripes running from light to dark, over and over again.
Fortunately, only the color has changed, and the shape is still exactly the same as the public knows. Otherwise, she would not dare to use it indiscriminately. If she gets sick from using it, it would be a waste of time.
Continuing to walk forward, she actually found a staircase leading up and down the stairs.
The stairs were suspended in the air, and each step was just a fiery red vine. There was smoke all around, and even some little sparrows with fiery red duck beaks flying around the vines.
Xu Ren'er stared at them intently for a while, and she realized that the flying patterns of this group of sparrows were very fixed, and she even figured out a set of patterns.
It seems these little sparrows are not living creatures, but just serve as decorations, Xu Ren'er thought.
I have a general understanding of the structure inside, and I will observe the specific details slowly. Xu Ren'er looked at the outer layer of smoke.
Why don’t you go over and take a look?
She walked cautiously towards the scenery she saw at the beginning, and tentatively used her dog paw to wave forward.
I thought I would touch something, but it was just empty space, no feeling at all.
How about trying to move forward?
She retracted her paw, walked forward, and tentatively lifted her hind legs.
She didn't know that this operation scared the people in the audience to death. They watched with their breath held and without blinking.
In order to allow the audience to see clearly what is happening inside the attic, the outer wall of the attic is changed from vertical to horizontal.
It wouldn't be a problem for Xu Ren'er to take a few steps forward, but if he kept going forward...
Then she would miss her step and fall to her death in full view of everyone.
Xu Ren'er took a few tentative steps and did not feel the sudden danger.
After thinking about it, I decided to keep moving forward. At this moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose.
Can't go any further!
This idea came to Xu Ren'er's mind the first time.
Without any hesitation, Xu Ren'er turned around and left without any reluctance, no longer moving forward.
The onlookers also breathed a sigh of relief for her.
Xu Ren'er walked to the vicinity of the pool and looked down at the bottom of the water, but was surprised to find that his appearance had changed slightly.
There were some head ornaments on her forehead out of thin air, and a layer of light purple eye shadow was smudged on the corners of her eyes, extending from her neck to the top of her front paws, and a thin purple gauze wrapped her whole body.
Her white boots also disappeared. Even though she could feel the presence of the white boots, it was not visible on the outside. Instead, there was a pair of lavender embroidered shoes with pure white geraniums.
A perfectly good dog actually gave the illusion of being charming and attractive.
Xu Ren'er twitched her lips, and the dog in the water moved with her.
Mu Shuangyan didn't tell them that this Illusion Pill could also beautify people, no, dogs...
——
On the first day, all contestants were in an exploratory state and everything was fine. It was only at night, when it came time to roast chicken to satisfy their hunger, that they needed to make some mental preparations.
Huanshiwan transformed the free-range chickens into elves, but the appearance of these elves was so human that it was a bit hard to eat them.
Xu Ren'er couldn't tell which internal organs were unnecessary, so he had to guess one by one.
After all, the whole chicken is a treasure, and she can't bear to throw it away, such as the gizzards, hearts, livers, kidneys, intestines, etc. These are all delicious parts and full of nutrition for her.
After plucking the feathers and cleaning them, Xu Ren'er unfortunately discovered that the chicken she selected did not seem to have the foreign matter mentioned in the notice. Fortunately, it was only the first day, so Xu Ren'er was not in a hurry.
Unfortunately, there is no seasoning and it tastes bland.
Xu Ren'er was chewing on a chicken leg while thinking with tears in his eyes.
Although the contestants did not make any moves on the first day, the onlookers, except for some people who did not buy the Illusion Pills, those who bought them did not feel bored.
The Illusion Pill opened their eyes and allowed them to see scenery they had never seen before, not to mention that the scenery was dreamy enough, which brought the sense of novelty to the peak.
Unfortunately, the illusion pills obtained by the audience were different from those obtained by the contestants. The illusion pills in their hands were disposable products with a time limit, which only lasted for one hour and ended quickly.
After viewing the scenery, there was no interaction between the contestants, and many spectators left one after another.
Ai Wanle also felt very bored and gave Ai Xiangshou a look. Under Ai Fengdou's relieved gaze, the three of them left one after another, leaving only the scholar in charge of recording and some guards who were needed to maintain the scene.
——
The bright daylight faded away little by little, and the setting sun and clouds intersected with it, gradually covering it, and strands of orange light fell to the ground.
Apart from the dedicated guards and scholars, the number of spectators outside the venue was dwindling, and the presence of Shangguan Jieshu and Mu Shuangyan attracted special attention.
"Miss Mu, it's getting dark soon. It's not safe for you. How about I take you back home first and come back tomorrow?"
Shangguan Jieshu turned his head and said.
"Just call me Shuangyan." Mu Shuangyan corrected Shangguan Jieshu's choice of words and continued, "Don't worry about my safety. Let me stay a little longer."
What we should really worry about is the safety of others.
Shangguan Jieshu: "Is it for Qiuyue?"
Mu Shuangyan nodded, acknowledging his question, and smiled as she revealed Shangguan Jieshu's thoughts:
"You plan to send me back home and then come back to watch Miss Shangguan's game, right?"
She and Tang Qiuyue are just friends, but Shangguan Shujie is Shangguan Jieshu's biological sister. In terms of concern, Shangguan Jieshu is the one who is most worried.
"Hey, why should I care if she lives or dies? My sister is a martial arts master, and killing is prohibited in the competition. Why does she need me to watch over her?"
"Honestly?"
Mu Shuangyan propped up her chin with one hand, stared at him straight, and asked with a friendly smile.
"Of course it's the truth."
Shangguan Jieshu looked back, and they stared at each other for a long time. Shangguan Jieshu looked at her teasing eyes and gave in first.
He sighed deeply: "You are really hard to fool."
Mu Shuangyan asked back, "Isn't this something that anyone can see?"
"Being able to see it is one thing, but whether or not to point it out is another. Normally, shouldn't a young lady like you be more understanding? You know it in your heart, but you usually won't expose it to someone's face."
"You seem to have a deep misunderstanding of me. Have you ever seen a young lady waiting to be married wandering around with a group of people without a maid by her side?"
Shangguan Jieshu shrugged and cited the most obvious example around him: "Yes, Shujie can be considered a lady from a noble family, but she likes to wander around alone. Throughout the year, she rarely stays at home."
"Reluctantly???" Mu Shuangyan grasped the key words.
"She is a daughter of the Shangguan family. With her background, she was destined to be considered a lady of noble birth. However, she hardly behaves like a lady, so it's forced."
"Does she know you said that behind her back?"
"She's used to it."
Mu Shuangyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She looked up at the sky. While they were chatting, the color of the sky gradually darkened, as if it would be plunged into darkness in the next second.
"It's time to go." Mu Shuangyan slowly stood up and said.
She was about to take another step into the darkness.
——
The next morning, Xu Ren'er heard some noise around him. He quickly opened his eyes and looked towards the unusual voice warily.
Someone was coming down the stairs towards her level!
The elves around seemed to sense a different atmosphere and fell silent.
Here we come!
The dog's paws lit up and her eyes became extremely sharp. If anything went wrong, she would attack without mercy.
“Help, help me…”
When the visitor successfully reached her level and saw Xu Ren'er, he fell to the ground in front of her with a "thump" sound, before Xu Ren'er could wave his paw.
Xu Rener: ???
She was afraid of a trap and didn't dare to go forward. This person had a weak aura, unlike contestants like Zhui Du or Xiao Aodang, who were unforgettable.
Looking carefully at the other person's appearance, Xu Ren'er frowned, and his brain could not find any impression of him.
Of course, it could also be the effect of the Illusion Pill, which blurred her perception of other people's appearance, which also caused her to be unable to identify who the other person was.
However, the other party seemed to be completely unconcerned with her vigilance. He was just gambling on other people's kindness.
"Can...can you...give me something to eat..."
He pleaded weakly.
After all, he was really hungry.
Hearing this, Xu Ren'er became even more wary: "Don't you have any free-range chickens on your floor?"
Unexpectedly, when the other party heard this, tears almost burst out.
"No, not a single one."
He almost turned his floor upside down, examining every part carefully, but he didn't come across any creature that looked like a free-range chicken.
The organizers are so stingy! They wouldn't even give him a chicken?!
——
At the same time, on the seventeenth floor.
Hao Yunqi woke up from his sleep. The scenery on his floor was extremely characteristic of the prairie. It was boundless, the sky was clear blue, and the white clouds were clean white.
What's even more fortunate is that there are no small reptiles in the grass of his grassland. The grass is very soft and extremely comfortable to sleep on.
On the grassland, in addition to him, there were nearly forty strange creatures.
They are orange all over, have the body of a cow, the head of a chicken, but their four hooves are light pink horseshoes.
As soon as he saw the chicken's head, Hao Yunqi knew that this was the free-range chicken mentioned in the notice.
But there was one thing he didn't understand.
There are nearly forty free-range chickens. How many meals will it take him to finish them?
The organizers were quite generous! They gave him so many chickens!
