The Princess's Smile (2)
Jian Tanxi said with lingering fear, "No, you haven't met Miss Jenny, so you don't know how terrifying she is. The second game I participated in was to help Miss Jenny find a groom. If I found the wrong one, I would be beaten by Miss Jenny. Her beatings are painful and vicious. Being beaten once will result in serious injury, and being beaten twice will result in death."
Meng Yuening asked in surprise, "Is that so? Is there any way to dodge or counterattack?"
“Her physical abilities are far superior to ours. Whether it’s running, jumping, or attacking, we are far inferior to her and have no chance of escaping or fighting back.”
"So, we actually only have two chances? Two failures, and total annihilation?"
Jian Tanxi said, "Not really. We should all have healing pills and resurrection pills on hand. Healing pills can be taken when seriously injured, and resurrection pills can be taken when dying, but they must be taken within five minutes of death. I also have healing abilities, and I can use them twice more this month."
If we gather all our healing items, pills, and special abilities, it should last for several rounds. How about we take out all our healing pills, resurrection pills, and other healing items, see how many we have, and then devise a game strategy?
This way, you'll have a clear understanding of the situation.
Meng Yuening said, "I agree."
Professor Pan: "I agree."
Qu Chen: Smiling.
Jian Tanxi spoke on his behalf: "This child can't speak and has poor cognitive abilities, so I agree on his behalf."
Huo Zimu said, "I disagree. If we take out all the healing pills and props, who should keep them? What if someone takes all the props and pills, or even eats them all at once? Besides, I don't want to reveal what I have. I think as long as we successfully make the princess smile in the first round, there will be no problem, and we don't need to use the healing pills at all."
Actor Lin Nanhuai also said, "I think so too. Making a princess laugh is very simple, for example, telling a really funny joke. I don't want to reveal my hand."
Another girl, Xu Yunhong, said, "I don't care. If everyone else brings out their treasures, I'll bring mine too. If none of you bring out your treasures, then I won't either."
Jian Tanxi said, "I don't think this game is that simple. When we came in, there was blood on the ground, the blood of the previous group of players. This means that at least one group of players has failed in this game. We can think of telling jokes, and so can the others. The previous group of players must have tried it, but it didn't work. So we need to be careful when using jokes."
Huo Zimu disagreed: "That's because the jokes told by the previous group weren't funny."
Jian Tanxi: "Is it that simple? Everyone who participates in the game is a genius. They will definitely come up with the funniest jokes they have ever seen in their lives. I think that beating this game may require a special method."
Male celebrity Lin Nanhuai said, "I have a special method here that guarantees success. Don't worry, you don't need to use any pills, just watch me perform."
Xu Yunhong asked, "What method?"
Lin Nanhuai: "I have a special ability called 'Overwhelming Praise'. When activated, it can make the other person become my fan and crazy about me. As long as I activate this ability on the princess, she will immediately become my fan. Of course, fans will smile when they see their idol."
Xu Yunhong: "That sounds good. Can we try it on you first?"
"No, I can only activate this ability twice per game."
"Then why don't you try it now and see the effect?"
"No, I'll save the other one for when I need it."
"But what if you don't even try? What if it doesn't work?"
Lin Nanhuai: "How could it not work? Do you even know what superpowers are? Superpowers will definitely work!"
Huo Zimu said from the side, "Even if the superpower works and the princess becomes your fan, she might not necessarily laugh."
"Why wouldn't she laugh? Her idol is right in front of her; she would not only laugh, she might even faint from excitement!"
Although Jian Tanxi and the others felt that Lin Nanhuai was too confident, they thought it was worth a try.
However, we still need to prepare for both possibilities.
If the princess doesn't laugh, Lin Nanhuai will have to tell jokes.
Time was of the essence, so everyone came up with a joke to make Lin Nanhuai remember it.
Lin Nanhuai didn't want to memorize them, so Jian Tanxi forced him to memorize jokes with a triangular pyramid. He had no choice but to reluctantly memorize a few.
Not long after, Miss Jenny said, "Ten minutes are up. Players, please come out and make the princess laugh. If you don't come out, you forfeit your chance."
Lin Nanhuai walked out and said confidently, "I'll participate."
Next, he used his "rave reviews" ability on the princess.
The princess was captivated by Lin Nanhuai, and her eyes lit up.
However, she didn't laugh; she was just a little excited.
She asked Lin Nanhuai, "Are you really Lin Nanhuai?"
Lin Nanhuai: "That's right, it's me."
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm a fan of yours."
"My dear princess, why don't you smile?"
Why are you laughing?
"To express a happy feeling."
"Just be happy in your heart."
The princess kept a straight face throughout.
Time ticked by, and Lin Nanhuai panicked, quickly telling jokes.
However, he told five or six jokes in a row, but the princess didn't laugh at all.
Five minutes were up, and the king said angrily, "These players have completely wasted my time! I thought they really had a way of making the princess laugh! Miss Jenny, teach them a lesson!"
Miss Jenny retorted angrily, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Miss Jenny stepped out of the paper and picked up Lin Nanhuai.
Lin Nanhuai was taller than her, but he couldn't break free and was half-dragged and half-pulled into the conference room.
Then, the meeting room door slammed shut, and Miss Jenny began playing against the players.
Jian Tanxi tried to use the interstellar triangular pyramid to poke open the wall, but found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't poke it open.
Miss Jenny ran towards her and hit her hard on the head, making her see stars.
She quickly put away the interstellar triangular pyramid to prevent Miss Jenny from taking it away, which could cause even greater damage.
Professor Pan tried to protect Qu Chen, but they both still got hit several times. Miss Jenny always managed to find an opening to strike Qu Chen.
Meng Yuening and Huo Zimu were also brutally beaten.
Meng Yuening tried to fight back, but found that her movements were too slow compared to Miss Jenny's, and she couldn't hit Miss Jenny at all.
Next, Miss Jenny went to hit Xu Yunhong.
At this moment, Xu Yunhong suddenly said, "Money power activated! I'll use 200,000 to avoid one instance of damage!"
Miss Jenny then avoided Xu Yunhong, as if she hadn't seen her at all.
Miss Jenny went to hit Lin Nanhuai, and Lin Nanhuai quickly said, "'Starry Night' ability activated!"
Then, his entire body emitted a blinding white light, enveloping him. The intensity of this light was greater than that of a car's high beams, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
Miss Jenny couldn't open her eyes either, so she could only avoid the light source and attack the other people.
Ten minutes later, Jian Tanxi, Professor Pan, Qu Chen, Meng Yuening, and Huo Zimu were all seriously injured and lay half-lying on the ground, unable to move.
Only Lin Nanhuai and Xu Yunhong, who activated their supernatural abilities, were unharmed.
Miss Jenny said, "Alright, you now have ten minutes to prepare. In ten minutes, we will begin the second round of the experiment to make the princess laugh. I hope you will not waste the princess and king's time again."
With that, Miss Jenny left the meeting room and returned to the paper. She transformed from a three-dimensional person into a two-dimensional portrait.
Huo Zimu said weakly to Lin Nanhuai and Xu Yunhong, "So you two had a way to avoid getting hurt, but you didn't say anything just now... Lin Nanhuai, you used up your first chance so easily, causing us to get beaten up, while you managed to dodge it yourself..."
Lin Nanhuai said, "Whether it's the highly praised superpower or the dazzling superpower, it's all mine. I dodged the harm with my own abilities, what's there to say? Besides, I didn't waste my first chance. I really thought that the highly praised superpower could make the princess smile."
"Besides, I told several jokes, but the princess didn't laugh at all. This at least shows that ordinary jokes don't work on her. We need to come up with even funnier jokes for the second round."
Xu Yunhong looked at the others with some guilt: "I'm sorry, my 'money power' can only be used on myself, and I can only use it twice per game. Otherwise, I would have given it to everyone. It's not that I'm selfish, I just had no other choice."
Jian Tanxi said, "It's alright. Your superpower is your own, we don't blame you. But, from what you just said, you used 200,000 to avoid being hurt once?"
"Yes, my special ability is that I can use 200,000 to avoid any damage."
"This superpower is pretty good, but it's expensive."
"It's okay, I'm quite wealthy."
Others: "..."
Huo Zimu frowned and said, "What kind of time is this to be showing off your wealth? Does having money make you superior?"
Xu Yunhong said somewhat aggrievedly, "I didn't flaunt my wealth, and I don't think I'm anything special... My money all comes from my parents; I don't have any special skills..."
Meng Yuening said, "Now is not the time to argue. Let's think about what to do in the second round."
Huo Zimu: "I can only come up with even more outrageous and bizarre jokes."
Jian Tanxi said, "I think telling jokes should only be a backup plan. Previous players have definitely told all sorts of jokes, but they still failed. So, we should look for other special methods first."
Huo Zimu said impatiently, "All you do is spout this nonsense. Why don't you think about what to do instead?"
Jian Tanxi was a little angry, but she could only suppress her emotions and said, "No problem, I have the ability to read minds. I can read the princess's mind and see what she likes."
Jian Tanxi activated her mind-reading ability and heard the princess's thoughts: "These players are so boring. They either tell boring jokes or do boring things. It's not fun at all. I wish someone could give me some novel and interesting toys."
Upon hearing her thoughts, Jian Tanxi was overjoyed: "I heard it! The princess likes novel and interesting toys, but she doesn't really like listening to jokes."
Huo Zimu said, "You say so? How do we know you can read minds? Why don't you try reading our minds first?"
