The King's Magic Mirror (6)
Jian Tanxi has a special ability called "Lucky One," which allows her to find the key to breaking through desperate situations.
This ability was copied from Qu Chen.
Jian Tanxi activated her "Lucky One" ability, and two words appeared in her mind—"Magic Mirror".
That's all the information available.
Could the key to breaking the deadlock lie in the magic mirror?
Now, as long as we find the Three-Shelled Turtle, the Mechanic can upgrade the Magic Mirror.
So Jian Tanxi asked the magic mirror, "Magic mirror, do you really not know where the three-shelled turtle is?"
Magic Mirror: "I don't know."
Jian Tanxi tried using the "good guy card" on the magic mirror, hoping it would tell the truth. However, the magic mirror was neither a person nor an animal, so the "good guy card" had no effect on it.
At this moment, Liu Ao asked, "Shen Jian, have you discovered any clues?"
Jian Tanxi said, "Yes, but we can't let the magic mirror know."
Liu Ao: "That's easy, I'll just activate the soundproof space ability again."
Magic Mirror: "Are you isolating me again?"
Liu Ao: "Shut up."
Liu Ao activated his "soundproof space" ability again, creating a soundproof space and locking the magic mirror inside.
In this way, the magic mirror can no longer hear what the player says.
Jian Tanxi shared the clues she had discovered with the others.
Han Mengqi asked, "So, the key to finding the Three-Shelled Turtle lies with the Magic Mirror?"
Jian Tanxi: "Yes."
Han Mengqi: "But the magic mirror won't tell the truth, what should we do?"
Jian Tanxi: "Perhaps the magic mirror isn't lying; it really doesn't know where the Three-Shelled Turtle is. But if we want to find the Three-Shelled Turtle, we need to keep an eye on the magic mirror."
Liu Ao: "Could it be that the three-shelled turtle was also swallowed by the magic mirror?"
Jian Tanxi: "It's possible, but the probability is very low."
Han Mengqi: "I have a special ability. If I answer three questions from someone correctly, I can find out a secret in their heart. I'm trying to use this ability on the magic mirror to see if it has any secrets."
So Liu Ao retracted the soundproof space, and the magic mirror landed back in front of the player.
Han Mengqi deliberately asked the magic mirror, "Magic mirror, are you very smart?"
Magic Mirror: "Of course."
"So you're smarter than humans?"
"To be objective, I am indeed smarter than most humans."
"I don't believe it unless you can stump me."
I don't care whether you believe it or not.
"If you ask me a question and I can't answer it, it proves that you are smarter than me."
"I don't need to prove that I'm smarter than you."
Han Mengqi said, "Okay, you've killed the conversation. I was going to tell you that I've found a way to make you the strongest."
The magic mirror couldn't help but ask, "What method?"
Han Mengqi: "It means having the mechanic enhance you."
Magic Mirror: "Isn't this something I already knew?"
"yes."
"Then why are you keeping me in suspense?"
"So that you'd ask me questions. You've asked three already, and I've answered them all correctly. So, the secret in your heart is—your master is clearly an ordinary person, but he has lived for over a hundred years and hasn't aged. You find this very puzzling, but you don't know why."
The magic mirror was somewhat surprised: "How did you know this?"
Han Mengqi: "You don't need to worry about that. Your master is the king of the Blue Sea Kingdom. He's an ordinary person, yet he remains youthful and hasn't aged even at over a hundred years old... There must be something fishy about this. What is it? Is it related to the Three-Shelled Turtle?"
Magic Mirror: "I don't know."
Han Mengqi: "I wasn't asking you, I was asking my teammates."
Jian Tanxi said, "I'll go ask the mechanic."
Jian Tanxi rode a flying carpet to the mechanic's shop.
She asked directly, "Mechanic, can your three-shelled turtle grant immortality?"
The mechanic said, "Drinking the blood of the three-shelled tortoise regularly can indeed keep one young and long-lived. But immortality is impossible; at most, it can only extend one's lifespan. Why do you ask this question? Did you see my three-shelled tortoise, and was someone drinking its blood?"
"No, I was just guessing, but I'll be finding your three-shelled turtle soon."
"Where?"
"Another planet."
Jian Tanxi returned to her residence and told her companion what the mechanic had said.
Qu Xingyuan said, "It seems that the Three-Shelled Turtle is most likely in the hands of the King of Blue Ocean Kingdom. Let's go back to Blue Ocean Kingdom now. After we find the Three-Shelled Turtle, I will use my Cosmic Folding ability to hand it over to the Mechanic."
With Qu Xingyuan's help, everyone returned to the original instance, which was the royal palace of the Blue Ocean Kingdom.
To prevent the magic mirror from tipping off the king, Qu Xingyuan hid it in his personal space.
Upon seeing the players return, the king came to greet them and asked, "Have you completed the quest? Where is my magic mirror?"
Qu Xingyuan: "The mission is not yet complete. We were traveling through time and space just now, and we were afraid that the magic mirror would be damaged, so we hid it in our personal space."
Then, Qu Xingyuan gave Jian Tanxi a wink.
Jian Tanxi said to the king, "Your Majesty, as the princess of the Red Strawberry Kingdom, I have come to your country and should, by custom, offer you tea. Please allow me to go and prepare the tea."
The king said, "No need. You're here to do a mission, so there's no need for so much formality."
"No, this is the proper etiquette between the two countries, and it doesn't take much effort at all."
Seeing that Jian Tanxi insisted, the king ordered the maids to take Jian Tanxi to the tea room.
The tea room has many teapots containing different kinds of tea.
Jian Tanxi poured a cup of black tea from a teapot.
She wanted to add something in, but the maids kept staring at her, so she couldn't.
Then, she hid a lucky flower in her sleeve and put the lid on the teacup.
While she was putting the lid on, she quietly placed the Ruyi Flower into the teacup and murmured, "Ruyi Flower, according to my will, become colorless and tasteless, and blend into the tea. After the king drinks the tea, he will do as I said first."
Then, Jian Tanxi brought out the tea and handed it to the king.
The king drank the tea and then set the teacup aside.
At this moment, Jian Tanxi looked at the king and said, "Secretly take out the three-shelled tortoise and give it to me, without letting anyone in your kingdom know."
The king involuntarily entered a secret room, fished out the three-shelled turtle from the water tank, and hid it in his clothes.
He was very puzzled, because he was hiding the Three-Shelled Turtle and drinking its blood to prolong his life. This should have been something no one knew about, so he didn't know how Jian Tanxi knew.
He was very reluctant to hand over the three-shelled tortoise, but he couldn't control his own thoughts.
He returned to the main hall and secretly slipped the three-shelled tortoise into Jian Tanxi's hand, without letting anyone else see it.
Jian Tanxi winked at her companions, signaling them to leave quickly. But at that moment, the king regained his senses and immediately said to the guards, "Seize them! Don't let them escape!"
The players were trying to run away, but guards surrounded them from all sides.
As the other players prepared to draw their weapons and engage in combat, Jian Tanxi quickly activated her superpower: "Superpower activated—Sentence Reorganization. 'The King ordered the capture of the player.' Reorganized into 'The player ordered the capture of the King.'"
The guards were initially focused on capturing the player, but in an instant, their thoughts shifted to capturing the king.
Instead, they attacked the king.
But halfway there, they realized they couldn't attack the king? And the players weren't authorized to command them? What had just happened?
In the short time the guards were stunned, the players had already run far away.
The guards, now fully conscious, gave chase.
Jian Tanxi handed the three-shelled turtle directly to Qu Xingyuan and said, "Master Qu, hurry up and go to the mechanic's planet, have the mechanic strengthen the magic mirror, and then come back. We'll find a way to hide ourselves."
Qu Xingyuan took the three-shelled turtle, nodded, and without saying much, activated his Cosmic Folding ability and went back to the Mechanic's planet.
Jian Tanxi took out the magic carpet and pulled Liu Ao to sit on it together.
The magic carpet flew incredibly fast, and Jian Tanxi even used a prop accelerator to speed it up, making it impossible for the guards to catch up.
Han Mengqi took out the prop "Cloud Piercing Arrow," which carried her swiftly upwards and into the distance, disappearing from sight in no time.
The last player, Zhou Hui, took out an invisibility bracelet, put it on his wrist, and immediately became invisible.
The guards chased after them for a while, but failed to catch any of them, so they had no choice but to return.
After all, the palace cannot be without guards for a long time.
On the magic carpet, Liu Ao asked, "Jane, where are we going? How are we going to find our companions later?"
Jian Tanxi: "We can fly freely. Once the Magic Mirror is fully enhanced and Qu Shen returns with it, our mission will be complete. The referee will find a way to gather us in the same place."
"OK."
So Liu Ao simply put his mind at ease and followed the magic carpet to tour the entire Blue Ocean Kingdom.
About two hours later, Liu Ao and Jian Tanxi were pulled back to the palace of the Blue Sea Kingdom by an irresistible force.
Other players are also here, including Qu Xingyuan.
Qu Xingyuan looked travel-worn, but his face couldn't hide his joy.
The referee witch was also there, and she said to the players, "Congratulations on completing the quest and strengthening the Magic Mirror."
However, her face showed no joy, only pain. Perhaps the witch had intended to kill Jian Tanxi and Qu Xingyuan at this stage, but her plan had failed.
Jian Tanxi had seen this pained expression on many referees' faces.
Regardless, the witch must distribute rewards to the players.
Jian Tanxi has gained a special ability: Who's the Spy? If someone in the player team tries to harm their teammates, Jian Tanxi can activate her ability and immediately detect it.
In addition, two superpower replicators were obtained.
They also obtained an item: the Dancing Fairy's Shoes. Wearing these shoes, they could perform any dance perfectly.
Next, the witch brought out two ecospheres for Qu Xingyuan and Jian Tanxi to choose from.
The two immediately accepted the ecosphere.
Jian Tanxi said to Qu Xingyuan, "Master Qu, if you see Sister Qin Man and Xiao Chen, please give them my regards."
Qu Xingyuan nodded: "Okay. If you see them first, remember to tell Qin Man that I will definitely find them. In all things, protect yourself first, don't stand out or offend anyone."
"OK."
Jian Tanxi was teleported away before she could say more to the others.
