The Princess's Smile (4)
Jian Tanxi angrily said to Huo Zimu, "What are you doing? Xiao Chen doesn't understand anything!"
Huo Zimu said, "Why isn't this silly kid dead yet? He's just a hindrance here. What bad luck, we're in the same group with this silly kid again."
Upon hearing this, even Professor Pan, who was usually averse to conflict, became somewhat angry. He gave Huo Zimu a cold look but said nothing.
Jian Tanxi didn't have time to argue with Huo Zimu. She simply pulled Qu Chen up and kept him by her side to prevent him from running around and taking things randomly. She whispered, "Xiao Chen, you can't eat those things."
Then, she opened Qu Chen's pocket, wanting to see what useful things were inside.
Inside were only two sleeping pills, six voice-changing pills, a small firework, a bracelet that looked like a mosquito repellent bracelet, and a white flower, probably the one she took from Miss Jenny's wedding.
Apart from that, there were no healing pills or resurrection pills.
Qu Chen must have teamed up with other strangers before. Even if he had healing pills and resurrection pills, they were probably taken by his teammates.
After all, Qu Chen was just a child and didn't understand anything.
Jian Tanxi put Qu Chen's things back and said, "Qu Chen doesn't have anything useful here. Who's next? Huo Zimu? Lin Nanhuai?"
Huo Zimu said, "I only have one healing pill."
As he spoke, he took out a healing pill and placed it in the public area.
Unexpectedly, Qu Chen suddenly looked at Huo Zimu, started crying and making a scene, and even ran over to hit him.
Huo Zimu pushed him away, but he continued running over to hit him.
Jian Tanxi quickly hugged Qu Chen. But Qu Chen still wanted to run to Huo Zimu's side. He scratched Jian Tanxi's hands and face, trying to break free from her.
Jian Tanxi felt a little pain, but she didn't let go.
Lin Nanhuai said, "I don't have any healing pills or tools."
At this moment, Qu Chen suddenly broke free from Jian Tanxi and ran to Lin Nanhuai to hit him.
Lin Nanhuai struck Qu Chen on the head with a palm strike. Although Qu Chen felt the pain, he continued to hit Lin Nanhuai.
Lin Nanhuai said, "What's going on? Whose child is this? Jian Tanxi, did you bring him? Do something about him... Ouch..."
While he was speaking, Qu Chen hit him several more times. Of course, he didn't lose out either, hitting Qu Chen back.
Jian Tanxi felt very sorry for Qu Chen and quickly brought him back.
However, Qu Chen still watched Lin Nanhuai and Huo Zimu crying and making a scene.
Meng Yuening asked, "Tanxi, why is this child crying?"
Jian Tanxi shook her head: "I don't know... He shouldn't be hungry... Could he be sleepy?"
"Even if you're hungry or sleepy, there's no need to beat up Huo Zimu and Lin Nanhuai..."
At this moment, Professor Pan suddenly asked Jian Tanxi, "Do you know what Qu Chen's special ability is?"
Jian Tanxi shook her head: "I don't know... He himself can't say. So, I'm afraid no one knows about his special ability."
Professor Pan said, "Qu Chen must have participated in several games, so he must have at least one special ability. I wonder if his special ability is related to lie detection?"
"A lie detector?"
“That’s right. Huo Zimu and Lin Nanhuai might be lying, which is why Qu Chen reacted so strongly just now.”
Huo Zimu felt a little guilty and said sternly, "Professor Pan, what did you say? What lie did I tell?"
Lin Nanhuai also said, "That's right, I didn't lie."
Meng Yuening realized what was happening and looked them straight in the eye: "Whether you're lying or not, you know the truth yourselves. You still have some healing pills and resurrection pills on hand, haven't you taken them out?"
Huo Zimu and Lin Nanhuai remained silent.
Qu Chen cried even harder.
Jian Tanxi also had her doubts. She took out the interstellar triangular pyramid and said to Huo Zimu and Lin Nanhuai, "Did you take it out yourselves, or did the rest of us force you to? There are seven people here. Apart from the little boy Qu Chen who cannot participate in the battle, can the two of you fight against the four of us adults?"
Huo Zimu and Lin Nanhuai weighed the pros and cons and did not want to make enemies with the other four.
Then, Huo Zimu took out three healing pills and one resurrection pill. Lin Nanhuai also took out two resurrection pills.
This time, Qu Chen finally stopped crying.
Jian Tanxi also confirmed that Qu Chen's special ability was indeed lie detection.
Jian Tanxi counted that there were now a total of 19 healing pills and 11 resurrection pills. In addition to her own healing ability and other people's life-saving methods, these things should be enough to last for four or five rounds.
She entrusted all the pills to the highly respected Professor Pan for safekeeping, and no one else had any objections.
Just then, Miss Jenny called out from outside, "Ten minutes are up. Who will come out to make the princess laugh? If you don't come out, it will be considered a forfeit."
Lin Nanhuai, carrying the miniature landscape model and the Spring Breeze Bottle, went out and said, "I'll perform a magic trick for the princess."
Next, he enlarged the miniature landscape to half a person's height and placed it on the ground.
Then, he took out the Bottle of Spring Breeze and said, “Princess, this miniature landscape is still in winter, but as long as I let the spring breeze blow in, it will turn into spring.”
He uncorked the bottle of spring breeze, and the spring breeze blew into the miniature landscape, transforming it from winter to spring—it was beautiful.
The princess nodded: "This toy is nice."
However, the princess did not laugh.
Lin Nanhuai was a little anxious and asked, "Princess, do you like this toy?"
"like."
"Then why aren't you smiling?"
"Should you smile if you like something?"
"this……"
This question stumped Lin Nanhuai.
He plugged the bottle of spring breeze, and the landscape turned back into winter. He said, "Princess, you see, the spring breeze has stopped blowing, and these scenes have immediately turned into winter."
The princess did not laugh.
Lin Nanhuai opened the Spring Breeze Bottle again, turning the landscape back into spring, and then said, "Princess, look, this landscape can switch back and forth between winter and spring, isn't that interesting..."
The princess did not laugh.
Lin Nanhuai is on the verge of a breakdown.
As a big star, he's always been the one being coaxed to be happy. He's never put so much effort into coaxing someone before, and he even failed.
He wanted to scold the princess, but he didn't dare.
Left with no other option, he resorted to telling jokes, but the princess remained unmoved.
With time running out, he had no choice but to tell his embarrassing story: "I once pursued another female celebrity, wearing my most expensive clothes and giving her 999 roses, but she called me a peacock displaying its tail feathers. Funny, right? Hahaha..."
The princess remained expressionless.
Miss Jenny announced expressionlessly, "Time's up. You didn't make the princess laugh, so prepare for my beating."
Lin Nanhuai was dragged back to the conference room.
Before Miss Jenny could make a move, Professor Pan suddenly asked, "Miss Jenny, when you hit me, will you only hit me?"
Miss Jenny said, "That's right, I hit people randomly, whoever I want to hit. But when I hit a particular person, I will only hit that person and not anyone else."
Just as Miss Jenny was about to strike, Professor Pan said, "Superpower—Dual Transformation, Activate!"
At this moment, Professor Pan suddenly turned into two.
The two Professor Pans look exactly alike.
They both looked at Miss Jenny and said, "You said that when you hit me, you would only hit one of me. Now, which one are you going to hit?"
Miss Jenny was stunned, and so were everyone else.
It turns out Professor Pan can create clones of himself.
Miss Jenny was confused because she couldn't tell the difference between the two Professors Pan.
So she could only choose one Professor Pan to fight, while the other Professor Pan stood aside and watched.
She hit Professor Pan for a while, then went to hit other people.
Xu Yunhong used her financial power to avoid being hurt once, but Miss Jenny, just like last time, bypassed Xu Yunhong and went to attack the others.
Lin Nanhuai activated his "overwhelmingly positive" superpower, and Miss Jenny immediately became a fan of Lin Nanhuai.
She said to Lin Nanhuai, "You are my idol, of course I won't hit you."
Huo Zimu took out a helmet, put it on, and became invisible, along with the helmet.
Miss Jenny couldn't see him, so he escaped a beating.
As a result, the rest of the people suffered.
Jian Tanxi, Qu Chen, Meng Yuening, and one of Professor Pan's colleagues were all seriously injured.
Ten minutes later, Miss Jenny said, "Punishment time is over. Now we'll begin a new preparation period. In ten minutes, players, please come out and try to amuse the princess again."
Jian Tanxi asked, "Wait a minute... isn't there a break? Are we just going to keep trying like this until the princess laughs or the player dies?"
"Of course we have to keep trying. The princess has finally managed to find the time, and you want to rest? Giving you ten minutes to prepare each time is already very generous. Stop haggling."
Jian Tanxi: "..."
Miss Jenny went outside.
At this moment, the Professor Pan who had been beaten disappeared, and another Professor Pan walked over.
Jian Tanxi asked, "Are you the real Professor Pan, or an avatar?"
He said, "I am the real me. The one that was just attacked was a clone. It has no effect on me."
"Professor Pan, your superpower is amazing, but how can you be sure that Miss Jenny will hit your clone and not your real body?"
"Because I have this."
Professor Pan took out a four-leaf clover and said, "This item is called the Lucky Four-Leaf Clover. It can increase your chances of survival in battle. When I have a clone, the clone is more likely to be targeted by the enemy, and my real body can avoid damage. Of course, it's not absolute."
"I see, that's great."
"Jian Tanxi, would you like to take the healing pills?"
Jian Tanxi shook her head: "No need. If I get beaten to death next time, just give me a resurrection pill. I get injured all the time, I'm used to it."
Lin Nanhuai said, "We shouldn't waste the pills unless it's absolutely necessary."
Meng Yuening: "Nobody asked you, you can shut up."
Lin Nanhuai: "How dare you speak to me like that? Do you know how difficult it is for my female fans to even see me? You get to spend every day with me, yet you don't appreciate it!"
Meng Yuening: "Pah! Pah pah pah pah pah! Does anyone have pomelo leaves? Give them to me to get rid of bad luck."
Lin Nanhuai: "..."
Huo Zimu said to Lin Nanhuai, "Lin Nanhuai, stop putting on your big star act. Nobody will put up with you here. You failed twice just now, and I haven't even said anything to you yet."
Lin Nanhuai retorted angrily, "What's there to say? Weren't the actions we took just now agreed upon by everyone? How can you blame me alone?"
