The King's Magic Mirror (1)
Jian Tanxi said, "Haha, okay."
At this moment, another long-haired girl wearing a white hooded sweatshirt walked over and greeted her: "Hello, Jane, my name is Liu Ao."
Although Liu Ao isn't considered exceptionally beautiful, she possesses a delicate and charming aura that evokes a protective instinct in people, making her a heartthrob for both men and women.
Jian Tanxi also greeted her.
Then, a tall, burly guy with an afro and triangular eyes said, "My name is Zhou Hui. I didn't expect it to be another girl-dominant combination. How boring. You girls better not hold us back, especially you, Jian Tanxi. Players with your reputation are most prone to arrogance and underestimating your opponents. Be careful later, and don't rush to the front if anything happens. Listen to our opinions."
Jian Tanxi: "..."
Liu Ao: "..."
Han Mengqi, who couldn't keep her mouth shut, retorted, "Zhou Hui, what do you mean? You think you're at a disadvantage teaming up with us girls? Everyone who's gotten this far is exceptional, so don't be so arrogant! You looking down on me and Liu Ao is already a heinous crime; and to look down on Jian Shen is simply deserving of death."
Zhou Hui rolled his eyes: "Who do you think you are? A judge? You think you can convict me? That's hilarious. If you're being chased by monsters later, don't come begging me for help."
Han Mengqi: "Who said I would be chased by monsters? Who said there would definitely be monsters in this level? I think you should say less. Saying too much will expose your lack of manners and make people laugh."
Zhou Hui wanted to continue arguing, but then the last man spoke up: "Hello everyone, my name is Qu Xingyuan, nice to meet you."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned, including Jian Tanxi.
Because Qu Xingyuan is also a very famous name, no less so than Jian Tanxi.
To this day, besides Jian Tanxi, there are a few other players who are called "gods," one of whom is Qu Xingyuan, who is known as "God Qu."
Previously, Jian Tanxi had heard her teammates mention this name when participating in some dungeons.
Unexpectedly, I actually met "The God of Music" today.
Qu Xingyuan is unassuming in appearance, looking like a very steady man from Northwest China, but with his glasses, he also exudes a scholarly air. These two completely different qualities blend seamlessly within him.
He looked to be about forty years old, but he was in good shape, without any hunchback or beer belly.
Han Mengqi couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god, I'm actually teamed up with both Jian Shen and Qu Shen at the same time... This game is a sure win!"
Liu Ao was visibly excited: "Great, I'm going to AFK this game, I'm ready to win without lifting a finger."
Jian Tanxi laughed and said, "Liu Ao, we are a team, and we still need to help each other. Don't give up prematurely."
Liu Ao: "Shen Jian, you're too kind."
At this moment, Qu Xingyuan took out a photograph and asked, "Have you seen this mother and child? They are my wife and son."
He showed the photo to other people, and they all said they didn't recognize him.
But when Jian Tanxi saw the photo, she was very surprised.
The people in the photo are Qin Man and her son.
It turns out that Qu Xingyuan is Qu Chen's father and Qin Man's husband.
Jian Tanxi hadn't seen Qin Man and her son for almost a year, and now that she suddenly learned about Qu Xingyuan's relationship with them, she felt a great sense of warmth.
She said to Qu Xingyuan, "These are Sister Qin Man and Xiao Chen. I know them... I've even teamed up with them many times..."
Upon hearing this, Qu Xingyuan's calm eyes lit up, and he asked, "Do you know where they are? Are they alright?"
Jian Tanxi shook her head: "I haven't seen them in a long time either. But every time I team up with them, they make a great contribution. Their intelligence and ability to clear dungeons are both excellent. I think they're probably in some dungeon right now. You'll meet them sooner or later."
Qu Xingyuan nodded: "Yes, thank you... When you have time, could you tell me about what they, the mother and son, experienced before?"
"no problem."
At this moment, Qu Xingyuan asked his teammates, "Does anyone have a powerful companion spray or a regular companion spray? I'll trade you other items for it."
Jian Tanxi thought that Qu Xingyuan was accompanying the sprayer because he wanted to wait until he saw Qin Man and her son so they could use it together. That way, the family could be together temporarily.
Unfortunately, Jian Tanxi doesn't have that.
Liu Ao and Han Mengqi were not included either.
Zhou Hui, with his afro, did have one. He said to Qu Xingyuan with a hint of arrogance, "I have a bottle of ordinary companion spray, but you'll need to exchange it for a prop."
Qu Xingyuan said, "No problem."
Qu Xingyuan took out some props, but unexpectedly Zhou Hui wanted them all.
Qu Xingyuan frowned, but didn't say anything, and handed it directly to Zhou Hui.
However, Zhou Hui said, "These props are not enough. Take out the rest of the props and let me see them."
Jian Tanxi said, "Zhou Hui, don't go too far. The props Qu Xingyuan gave you earlier are all very powerful, each one is more valuable than the companion spray. You should know when to stop."
Zhou Hui, however, remained unfazed: "Now it's him who wants to trade with me, not me. Of course, he'll have to pay a higher price. I know why he's been using the spray; he wants to spray his wife and children on them after he finds them. Now we'll see how much sincerity he can offer. His wife and children must be worth more than this in his heart, right?"
Qu Xingyuan took out about ten more props, and Zhou Hui immediately took them all without even picking them out.
However, he still refused to take out the companion spray.
Several girls couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to teach Zhou Hui a lesson.
At this moment, Qu Xingyuan looked at Zhou Hui and said, word by word, "Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
He grabbed Zhou Hui by the collar, and Zhou Hui felt a powerful pressure that made him unable to stand up straight.
Zhou Hui stammered, "Don't get excited, Master Qu, I'll give you the companion spray..."
Zhou Hui took out the companion spray and handed it to Qu Xingyuan.
Qu Xingyuan then released him.
Just then, a large piece of paper floated over, with a witch on it.
The witch said, "Welcome to the next round of the game—The King's Magic Mirror. Participants: Jian Tanxi, Liu Ao, Qu Xingyuan, Zhou Hui, Han Mengqi."
The king of the Blue Sea Kingdom possesses a magic mirror, which has its own consciousness and yearns to become stronger. Players need to help the magic mirror become one of the most powerful items.
Here's a hint: The Magic Mirror devours those with superpowers, granting them all their abilities. So, if you're really out of options, you can sacrifice yourself to the Magic Mirror, hehehe..."
Han Mengqi couldn't help but curse, "What are you laughing at? What's the difference between this and suicide? You old witch, stop bewitching people here!"
The witch was a little angry: "You little girl, how dare you insult me! If the referee wasn't forbidden from interfering in the game, I would have eaten you!"
Han Mengqi: "You know you can't do anything to me, so just give a proper introduction and stop saying things that are detrimental to the players."
witch:"……"
The witch was furious and it took her a long time to say, "In short, the time is seven days. If you can't strengthen the magic mirror within seven days, you will be devoured by it."
After saying that, the witch disappeared.
Everyone gathered around the magic mirror and discovered that it could not reflect people or other objects.
Jian Tanxi tried to talk to the magic mirror: "Magic mirror, can you talk?"
The magic mirror responded in a rather mechanical voice: "Okay."
How can you become stronger?
"Devouring ability users".
"What else?"
"have no idea."
"I think you're an antique; you must have lived for many years. How could you not know?"
"I have a simple method, so of course I won't inquire about complicated methods."
Jian Tanxi knew that the "simple method" mentioned by the magic mirror was to devour those with superpowers.
Jian Tanxi tried to read the Magic Mirror's thoughts, but found she couldn't. It seemed her mind-reading ability was ineffective against the Magic Mirror.
Liu Ao, a girl with long hair, stared curiously at herself in the mirror.
After a while, a man's figure suddenly appeared in the mirror. The man was about 1.9 meters tall and had a fairly handsome appearance, but his eyes were completely black, with no whites at all, which made him look terrifying.
Liu Ao screamed in fright, but the man's image in the mirror suddenly disappeared.
The magic mirror said, "Don't keep staring at the mirror. Sometimes the superhumans who have been swallowed will float out. I won't be responsible if someone gets scared to death."
Liu Ao asked, trembling, "The person in the mirror just now... was a superhuman who was devoured?"
"That's right."
"Is he still alive?"
What do you think?
Liu Ao dared not think too much about it and hid behind Jian Tanxi.
At this moment, Qu Xingyuan took out a small mechanical bird from his personal space and asked, "Who has the ability to strengthen this magic mirror?"
The mechanical bird said, "I can only answer one question, and then I'll become completely ineffective. Are you sure you want to ask this?"
Qu Xingyuan: "Confirmed."
"Even if I told you, you still wouldn't find him. Because the mechanic who can enhance items lives on another planet. That planet is 10 light-years away from here."
"Tell me the mechanic's exact coordinates."
"OK."
The mechanical bird didn't move its beak, but Qu Xingyuan nodded. It seemed that only Qu Xingyuan could hear the coordinates the mechanical bird spoke of.
Han Mengqi asked, "Master Qu, is there someone on another planet called the Mechanic who can enhance this magic mirror? How do we get there?"
Qu Xingyuan: "Let's walk there."
"ah?"
Qu Xingyuan didn't explain anything, but directly activated his superpower: "Superpower activated—Cosmic Folding. Folding coordinates..."
Qu Xingyuan whispered a coordinate.
Then, a circular halo appeared before everyone's eyes. The halo was hollow, and from this side, one could see the tall buildings on the other side.
Those skyscrapers all look like they're made of a special material, unlike reinforced concrete or glass; it's a material that no one has ever seen before.
Qu Xingyuan said, "Just bring the mirror and step over the aperture."
The crowd was skeptical, but Qu Xingyuan picked up the magic mirror and tried to cross the light circle.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Hui with the afro stepped forward, snatched the magic mirror from Qu Xingyuan's hand, and said, "I'll take it. You can't do all the work by yourself, otherwise when it comes to calculating contributions, none of us will be as good as you."
Qu Xingyuan didn't say anything and simply stepped across the aperture.
Zhou Hui carried the magic mirror and then stepped over it.
Then there are three girls, including Jian Tanxi.
Once everyone had stepped over it, the halo disappeared.
As they walked down the streets of this strange world, they saw things they had never seen before, such as cars with eagle wings and water cups that could connect to the skin.
Qu Xingyuan led everyone to a simple repair shop. Inside were items that the players had never seen before, but it was immediately obvious that they were broken and needed repair.
Inside sat only an unassuming old man wearing a black hat. Qu Xingyuan asked, "Are you the repairman?"
