Chapter 48



When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the mist into the crowded tricycle, the adventurers who had spent the first half of the night frantically fighting monsters and then wanted to sleep but didn't dare to in the second half woke up one after another.

Wang Xiao sat in the outermost corner of the carport, wiping his glasses while silently praising the seat he had chosen. Look at those guys rolling around and lying all over the car. If he really had to squeeze in with them in the middle of the night, he would wake up crazy.

Just as he was thinking this, Shang Chong, who was huddled in with everyone else, suddenly woke up and sat up. "Oh my god, how did I fall asleep? Are those weirdos still chasing me? Why can't I move my legs?!"

Shang Chong exclaimed and formed a thunder ball in his hand. If you look closely, you will find that the size of the thunder ball he pinched has changed from the original orange to the size of a grapefruit. Obviously, after a night of extreme fighting, his strength has increased.

"Open your eyes and see that your thigh is being pressed. It would be strange if you could move your leg after it has been pressed all night." Wang Xiao curled his lips.

Shang Chong finally woke up, and then found that the men and boys who were squeezed together with him were also awake.

Wu Xingyun was still holding his mushroom in his arms as a pillow, but the edge of the mushroom didn't seem to be the grayish-white color as before, it seemed to have a little bit of color.

His first reaction upon waking up was to subconsciously defend himself, but after looking around and then at the scenery outside the carport, he muttered after a while, "So, did we...really escape?"

Then he heard a clear, pleasant voice coming from the roof of the car: "Why don't you pinch your thigh to see if you're dreaming?"

After hearing this, Wu Xingyun actually reached out and pinched it. Then he said nervously, "Oh my god, I didn't feel any pain!"

Shang Chong threw a lightning ball directly at his mushroom. "Of course you don't feel any pain, you pinched my leg!!!"

Wu Xingyun was electrocuted and shivered while hugging Mushroom. Men Hulu and Meng Chang, who were standing next to Wu Xingyun, couldn't help but shiver as well. Men Hulu growled angrily, "Don't come over here!"

Everyone in the car was frozen for five seconds. The strongman who was forcing himself to drive and the jogger in front were screaming:

"Hulu, please shut up! We're driving and can't move for five seconds. Are you planning to flip the car over?!"

Five seconds later, the people who were frozen in time came to their senses, looked at each other, and burst into laughter.

This was the joy of finally being able to laugh out loud after suppressing it all the way, and it was the release of their excitement after struggling all night to survive.

"Oh my god, we really escaped from Carnival City!"

"Twenty-seven days!! We're a full twenty-seven days early!"

"Bow to Wangwang's father every day! I'll do whatever you say from now on! I'll be your most obedient son!"

"And me, and me! Brother Wangwang, can you let me be a good second son? I'm super obedient and I can even grow mushrooms!"

Wu Xiangwang, sitting on the roof, hadn't even rolled his eyes at the two clowns when he heard Little Lajiao's deliberate clapping sound again: "Well, sons alone don't make a family. Dad, do you need a good daughter? I can do that! I can grow peppers! And I'm especially good at making spicy hot pot!!"

"That's right, I have a safe where I can store important things for Dad!"

"Then I can give Dad therapeutic massage every day!"

So in just less than ten minutes, Wu Xiangwang, who was sitting on the roof of the car, received seven applications to be good eldest sons. The remaining Hao Youjin, Dalishi and Xiaopao did not speak up because they were too old and were not suitable to be good eldest sons anymore.

Only Wang Xiao elite firmly maintained his bottom line.

But he still pushed his glasses and asked, "Well, forget about the big boy, but I sincerely recommend myself to be the exclusive investment and fund manager of a big star. My investment never loses money."

Wu Xiangwang is really going to be killed by their filial piety.

I really couldn't control my laughter.

"That's enough, brave men, stop the jog. We've been running all night and you're tired. Everyone is tired too. Stop and rest, light a fire, have breakfast, and wash your faces. Then we can discuss how to proceed."

No one objected.

In fact, they were already extremely exhausted, but they were not sure whether they had really escaped the killing and pursuit behind them, so everyone was holding on.

But now that Wu Xiangwang said they could rest, they could stop and rest with peace of mind.

After last night’s dramatic turnaround, everyone is convinced that Want Want is awesome.

"Luckily, we have two space users, otherwise I would have been heartbroken to have had to abandon supplies in last night's battle."

As Little Pepper spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and looked at Meng Chang: "Little Round Face, quickly get a pot of water and a few eggs from your safe. I'll make a pot of chili and egg soup for everyone!"

Meng Chang's face twitched when he heard what Little Lajiao said. "My safe is only one cubic meter in size. I put ten healing pills and ten pieces of energy beast meat in it, and it can't hold any more. You have to find Brother Wangwang."

"Also, I don't want chili egg soup! I only want tomato egg drop soup!! Don't put chili in my soup!!"

When Little Pepper heard this, she curled her lips and said, "What's wrong with peppers? Look, it rained heavily yesterday and it's so cold today. Drinking some pepper soup will warm you up!"

As a native Hunan girl, Xiao Lajiao really doesn’t understand why some people don’t like eating chili peppers.

But she still respected other people's opinions, "Brother Wangwang, give us something to eat!"

Wu Xiangwang was speechless when he saw her begging-like appearance, but he still pulled out a pink and white snail shell backpack with gorgeous and beautiful bone spurs from under her cloak.

Then he took out two bottles of water, five large eggs, and a piece of energy beast meat from his backpack.

In addition, Wu Xiangwang also took out the high-level purification stone that Scallop had mysteriously given him after he completed the beauty mission.

Since everyone has to eat breakfast in one pot anyway, let's just use his purification stone.

Little Lajiao looked at Wangwang Xiannan's pink and white snail shell backpack with eyes full of envy and admiration, and asked, "Who awakens to a space with such a beautiful little backpack?!" Even the awakened space power is so beautiful. Wow, Wangwang brother really deserves to be a top-notch immortal man!

She really wants to have the same style as the stars!

Unfortunately, this same item is a treasure that cannot be bought with money.

Then Little Pepper began to direct Menhulu and Hercules to pick up dead branches and stones to set up a pot and prepare to cook a pot of lean meat and egg drop soup.

At this moment, Bao Ben, Meng Chang, and Bu Die, three young men wearing financial glasses, pushed up their glasses and said, "You guys set up the pot and boil some water first. We'll look around the edge of the woods to see if we can find some edible wild vegetables we've remembered."

They didn't spend nearly two days in the trading house in vain. It's time to show the charm of these data elite men.

Xiao Lajiao and the others were very much looking forward to it, and Shang Chong decided to follow the three glasses to get to know the edible wild vegetables here. Wu Xingyun also wanted to follow with mushrooms in his arms, but was firmly stopped by the four.

"Hold your mushroom over there and say a few good luck words to it. When your mushroom stops bringing bad luck, the mushrooms alone will be enough for us to eat!"

Shang Chong grinned. God knew how much he wanted to drink some mushroom egg drop soup, but he was afraid that after drinking it he wouldn't be able to reach the gate of the next city.

Wu Xingyun sighed sadly, "Alright. But actually, I don't think I've been so unlucky these past few days. Good luck!"

Wu Xiangwang twitched his lips as he listened to Wu Xingyun's words. In fact, he had been wondering on the rooftop all night why Scallop Weird woke up from his coma so quickly. Then he thought that it was this unlucky mushroom who used his moldy mushroom to knock Scallop Weird off the car. Then Wangwang Xiannan covered his heart to stop himself from thinking about it.

It is difficult to determine whether the scallop’s strange early awakening is related to the mold mushroom, but he will never let the mold mushroom clean up the mess in the future!

He would never be allowed to open the treasure chest or complete the most critical part of the plan.

The instability is too great.

So Wu Xiangwang nodded to Wu Xingyun over there and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you see, Shang Chong's thunder ball has grown three times bigger. Your mushroom will also get better and better! Say a few auspicious words to it more often. That is a manifestation of your ability and luck! If you influence the mushroom, your luck will definitely improve!"

Wu Xingyun believed what Brother Wangwang said without a doubt, so he squatted under a tree nearby and began to brainwash his mushroom seriously.

"You are not a moldy mushroom! You are not a moldy mushroom! Whoever eats you will feel happy! Good luck! Everything goes well! Good fortune and happiness! A happy marriage!"

Don’t forget each other: “…”

"Based on my big data analysis, there's a 98% chance that this kind of self-soothing brainwashing is futile."

Wang Xiao sat next to him, his eyes reflecting pity.

Wu Xiangwang smiled and sat down. "That still leaves a 2% chance of change. As long as there's a chance, there's a chance it can change. Based on your previous big data assessment, what's the probability of us getting out of Carnival City?"

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows and laughed: "One in ten thousand."

Wu Xiangwang nodded: "So we are the one in a million."

Wang Xiao looked at this naturally proud man and smiled, then handed Wu Xiangwang a gorgeous bag. "These are the remaining energy coins that Bao Ben had used up. Everyone used their abilities almost non-stop last night, and I've seen almost everyone's abilities improve significantly. Perhaps with a little more effort, we can advance from level one to level two."

"But it consumes a lot of energy coins in one night, so you'll probably feel the pain."

Then Wang Xiao saw that the big star was very cooperative and showed a painful expression on his face, even though he hadn't even checked how much was left in the bag.

Tsk, a living drama queen.

However, Wu Xiangwang was just acting for a moment. He didn't even count how many energy coins were left. He smiled and threw the bag into his snail shell backpack.

"Money is meant to be spent. I'm not a dragon and I need to look at those glittering gold coins to be happy.

As long as the money is spent effectively and not wasted, it's well spent. In just one night, most of the team members have enhanced their physical abilities. Isn't this a big win for us?"

Wang Xiao looked at Wu Xiangwang with admiration at this moment: "Yes, in my opinion, this is also a good thing where the benefits definitely outweigh the costs."

Wu Xiannan nodded: "Besides, this money is not mine, so if there is any left, then I will make money."

Wang Xiao felt that this big star was actually very suitable to try his luck in the financial industry.

"There are still 50,000 energy coins left in the bag, which can probably buy a level 3 energy gem."

Yesterday, Wang Xiao saw Wu Xiangwang holding the energy gem in his hand and closing his eyes to awaken his supernatural powers, so he guessed that the energy gem might be the item Wu Xiangwang needed.

"When we get to the next city, I can accompany you to the trading house to buy the most cost-effective energy gem."

Wu Xiangwang smiled at Wang Xiao. It was really a pleasure to communicate with such a keenly observant, careful and intelligent person.

However, when he thought about what the next city would be, the smile on his face faded.

He took out the world map that the scallop had mysteriously brought out from his snail shell backpack.

When Wu Xiangwang unfolded the world map, which was two meters long and one meter wide, the attention of everyone around him was drawn to it.

Wang Xiao's face also showed shock and then ecstasy.

"You actually have a world map!!"

For those of them who have just arrived in this strange world and know nothing about it, this world map is a treasure more precious than energy gems.

With the world map, their return journey will be more directional and planned.

They can choose the shortest route through the ten cities based on the map.

Wu Xiangwang clearly also attached great importance to this world map. He looked at the Carnival City icon on the map, and seemed to regain the beauty and fragility of the beautiful Snail Beauty. "Thank you, Brother Scallop, for your generous sponsorship."

Wang Xiao and his companions immediately thought of the huge and ferocious blood-red eye in the dark night. Brother Scallop would probably never invite beauties to dinner or get sponsorship casually again.

Tsk, what a cruel and heartless man.

"Don't look at me like a heartless person. How can we fall in love if we're of different races? And if that guy finds out I'm human, he'll glare at me to death. What kind of person do you think he is?"

"Most importantly, that guy's two hundred eyes are so ugly!"

Wangwang Xiannan rolled his eyes in disgust. They were both weird, but how could something gorgeous and weird be beautiful, elegant, and powerful, while that scallop clearly didn't evolve well.

"...So the most important thing is face?" Xiong Zhuang, a single man with ordinary looks, complained depressedly.

The immortal man comforted him, "Not necessarily."

"But if you can rely on your looks, you don't need to put in any other effort. Being a salted fish is the happiest thing!"

"Okay, look at the map. I have something to say about the next city."

Wu Xiangwang's finger first touched the city emblem of Carnival City.

Carnival City is located in the lower left corner of the entire map, which is the southwest. The two cities closest to this city are in two completely different directions, northwest and southeast of Carnival City.

The city in the southeast is relatively closer, and it is also the direction they are heading at this time.

Before seeing the world map, Wu Xiangwang didn't quite understand why Carnival City only had two entrances and exits: the West Gate and the East Gate.

But he knew it after seeing the world map, because on the world map, leaving aside the villages around the cities, if you only look at the ten main cities in the strange world, it is probably a huge circle surrounding the world and three points in the center.

The outer circle is composed of seven main cities. No matter which city the adventurers start from, because the city has only two entrances and exits, their route is fixed, and every adventurer will eventually draw a circle on the land of this world.

And after the adventurers have completed the outer circle, they can probably walk from the seventh main city to the three cities in the middle. Among the three cities, the one in the middle is undoubtedly the capital of the strange world.

The remaining two are one in the sky and one on the seabed.

Obviously, the last three cities show their uniqueness on the map.

"Oh my god, there really are cities in the sky and under the sea. Coming to this world has really opened our eyes."

"That requires you to reach the main cities in the sky and underwater first! Just the outer ring of cities is already quite depressing! Look at this main city, it's in the desert, right? The main city to the north should be covered in snow-capped mountains! And this main city over here has bugs painted on it! Could this city be full of bugs?!"

The more Hao Youjin looked at the map, the more confused he became: "This really is a journey around the world in another world."

"It's a shame this trip is so deadly."

That's right.

Traveling on Earth costs money, but traveling to this strange world costs your life.

Wu Xiangwang moved his finger from the Carnival City to the next city with a smiling face painted on it.

“If we keep going, we’ll reach this peaceful city with painted smiling faces.

Based on the distance from the Ninth Novice Village to Carnival City, if we travel overnight, we will reach Peaceful City in about five days."

"Old Czech told me some information he knows about this city. I think I need to tell everyone in advance."

"Old Czech said this city is called 'Anle', and many human adventurers who entered this city never came out again."

Little Lajiao had already cooked the soup. When she came over to hear the news, she couldn't help but be shocked: "Was he killed?"

Wu Xiangwang shook his head: "No, Old Czech said that once you go in, you don't want to leave. Because it's very peaceful there."

At this moment, Shang Chong and the three people with glasses who were digging wild vegetables also came back. After hearing this, he just complained:

"How could you possibly not want to leave after entering? A city full of weird things, it's neither a fairyland nor our home, who would want to stay?"

No one answered him.

But Wu Xiangwang spoke after a while:

"What if it looks like a fairyland, or home."

Shang Chong immediately shook his head while holding his own thunder ball: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Five days later.

When Wu Xiangwang and his companions' electric tricycle had used up four Yuanhe batteries and finally arrived at the gate of the City of Anle, Shang Chong looked at the city in front of him, holding the thunder ball in his hand and felt that his face was about to be swollen.

"Am I dazzled? This city, this city... looks so normal! It doesn't even have walls! Just a wooden fence? What can it possibly hold back?"

"And those city gate guards standing at the entrances and exits, are they really that weird?! They don't look ferocious at all!!"

"If all the weirdness in this main city is like this, all like this..."

Shang Chong severely shocked himself with the lightning ball: "That will cause big trouble!"

Wu Xiangwang looked at the city in front of him from the canopy of the carriage. It was a city with an overall natural pastoral style. There were no tall, suffocating city walls. The buildings in the city could be seen through the small, fresh wooden fences.

Most of the houses were warm-toned villas with red, yellow roofs and white walls. The roads in the city were paved with colored stones or bluestone slabs. Wu Xiangwang even saw a farmhouse with a Chinese-style architecture.

It is a building that makes "all human beings" feel friendly and warm at first sight.

There are no huge gates at the entrances and exits of the city to block people from moving forward or leaving, only two wooden bars operated mechanically.

On the left are people and cars leaving the city, and on the right are people and cars entering the city.

There is a fairy-tale-style pavilion on each side, and next to the pavilion are the guards of the city's entrance and exit -

There were six cat-like creatures with different fur colors and styles, but all with warm and friendly smiles on their faces.

But unlike the weird cat-beast that Carnival City wanted to put into the Never Forget Each Other sack, which looked ferocious and ugly no matter how you looked at it, the six cat-beasts at the city gate were weird. No matter whether their hands, feet, tails or ears were fully evolved, or whether they had cat noses on their faces and were a little furry, they were all good-looking without exception.

At least, it is completely acceptable to humans.

Wu Xiangwang looked at the city and the weirdness and took a deep breath.

"Yeah, it's a bit troublesome."

City of Peace and Happiness.

Are you happy here and don’t miss your homeland?
