The Princess's Smile (5)
Professor Pan stepped in to smooth things over: "Everyone, stop arguing. We don't have much time. Let's think about what to do next."
Huo Zimu said, "In my opinion, that princess has facial paralysis. Does anyone here know acupuncture? You can cure her facial paralysis."
Jian Tanxi: "I don't think so, and I don't think it's facial paralysis, that princess just doesn't like to smile."
Others also said they didn't know acupuncture.
Huo Zimu had only said it casually, and he didn't really have any hope for it.
At this moment, Xu Yunhong said, "I have two interesting props that might make the princess laugh."
Huo Zimu: "Then why didn't you take it out sooner?"
The others stared at Huo Zimu speechlessly, unable to offer any comment.
Professor Pan said, "Let's take a look at what props Xu Yunhong has."
Xu Yunhong took out a necklace of green vine and green-veined stone and said, "This is called the Beauty Necklace. Wearing it will make you the most beautiful girl within a radius of twenty miles. All girls love beauty, so perhaps with this necklace, the princess will smile. If she doesn't smile, I have another prop."
Xu Yunhong took out an ordinary plastic water bottle and said, "This is called the Hundred Flavors Water Bottle. You can fill it with water and pour out all kinds of drinks, such as cola, orange juice, milk tea, milk, watermelon juice, etc. Whatever I want, I can pour out. It can only be used 3 times per game."
Everyone thought these two props were pretty good and worth a try.
Anyway, there are still plenty of pills left, and there's still a chance to try and fail.
So, ten minutes later, Xu Yunhong went out to make the princess laugh.
Xu Yunhong first presented the princess with a beauty necklace, saying, "Princess, wearing this necklace will make you the most beautiful girl within a radius of twenty miles."
The princess put on the necklace and looked even more radiant, her beauty enhanced considerably.
However, she did not laugh.
Xu Yunhong exclaimed, "Princess, you look so beautiful! I dare say there is no one more beautiful than you in the entire kingdom."
The king said, "Daughter, you have really become more beautiful! Of course, you were beautiful before."
The princess nodded and said, "Yes, I noticed."
Seeing that the princess did not smile, Xu Yunhong said, "Princess, I will also perform a magic trick for you. I will pour water into this bottle, and whatever drink you want, I can pour out that drink."
Xu Yunhong took a bottle of water out of her bag, poured it into the Baiwei Water bottle, and then asked, "Princess, what would you like to drink?"
The princess said, "Grape juice."
Xu Yunhong was thinking about grape juice, and what came out was indeed grape juice.
She showed the grape juice to the princess, who drank it, nodded, and said, "Not bad."
Xu Yunhong: "Princess, does this grape juice taste to your liking?"
"Um."
"If you can smile, I'll believe this grape juice is really good."
"I don't want to laugh."
Xu Yunhong paused for a moment and asked, "What else would you like to drink?"
"Snowmelt from the Alps".
"OK."
Xu Yunhong silently recited "Alpine snow water" in her mind, and the water that came out was indeed exactly the same as snow water.
After drinking it, the princess neither agreed nor disagreed.
Then, the princess asked for a glass of birch sap, which Xu Yunhong poured for her.
After three drinks, the princess still didn't smile.
Xu Yunhong had no choice but to make faces at the princess, but the princess remained unmoved.
Xu Yunhong told a few more jokes, but the princess remained expressionless.
Five minutes have elapsed; mission failed.
Miss Jenny beat everyone up again.
Jian Tanxi, Qu Chen, and Meng Yuening were killed, and the other four were seriously injured.
Professor Pan fed Jian Tanxi and the other two a resurrection pill, and they came back to life.
Xu Yunhong had used up her two money-power abilities. This was the first time she had been hit, and she couldn't take it anymore. She lay half-reclined to the side, groaning.
"Ouch... I've never been hit before, I never imagined it would hurt so much... Miss Jenny looks so small, but I never expected her to have such a strong grip..."
Huo Zimu, who had also been hit, said, "Stop talking, the more you talk, the more it hurts."
Xu Yunhong: "What I said is none of your business. Your pain is because Miss Jenny hit you, it has nothing to do with me."
Hearing that Xu Yunhong could still be so logical despite being in excruciating pain, Jian Tanxi almost laughed.
After being hit, Lin Nanhuai was furious but didn't know who to vent to. He could only pound the wall with his fist and mutter to himself, "This damn game, did they even ask for my permission before dragging me into this?"
No one can answer this question.
Huo Zimu asked, "What should we do in the next round?"
Jian Tanxi asked, "Does anyone have any special props?"
Meng Yuening said, "I have a Walkman that can play any song four times. I wonder if it would work if I played a song that the princess likes."
Jian Tanxi said, "It might not work. Your prop is similar to Xu Yunhong's Hundred Flavors Bottle; both are designed to please the princess. But even if the princess eats her favorite food and hears her favorite music, she might not laugh, thus wasting an opportunity."
Meng Yuening nodded and said, "That's true."
Xu Yunhong said, "Besides the beauty necklace and the multi-flavor water bottle, I don't have any special props. Since I started participating in the competition, I've been just coasting and haven't made any significant contributions, so I haven't won anything amazing."
Lin Nanhuai said, "I have dementia pills. If the princess takes them, she will become an idiot and may be easily amused."
Xu Yunhong said, "Didn't we say we couldn't touch the princess? How could you give her this dementia pill?"
Lin Nanhuai: "I can't think of anything right now, can't you think of something yourself?"
Lin Nanhuai's idea was a bit ridiculous, and no one agreed with it.
Professor Pan said, "I have a shrinking potion that can shrink people. I wonder if the princess would like that."
Huo Zimu said, "The princess didn't even smile when we used a miniature landscape to perform 'Spring is Coming.' Your potion only shrinks people; it's not very interesting, so the princess is even less likely to smile."
Meng Yuening: "It seems like none of my props are of any use..."
For a time, a stalemate ensued.
Jian Tanxi said, "Everyone, please look again to see if we have missed any interesting props."
Huo Zimu suddenly looked at Jian Tanxi: "Don't you have an ecosphere? There are hundreds of thousands of people inside. You just need to shake or flip the ecosphere, and the people inside will definitely sway or fly into the sky and then fall down. Some might fall into the water, some might fall onto the main road and have their heads blown off. It will be very interesting. The princess might laugh when she sees this scene."
Jian Tanxi: "..."
Others: "..."
Xu Yunhong murmured, "Now I finally understand what ancient tyrants were thinking... Huo Zimu is truly born with the body of a tyrant."
Huo Zimu: "What do you mean? Why are you being sarcastic? I only came up with this idea to pass the test, didn't I?"
Jian Tanxi: "I would never risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people to make the princess smile. Give up on that idea."
Huo Zimu: "Since you refuse, then you can only wait to die."
Meng Yuening: "Why don't you take out your props and take a look? Maybe they'll be useful."
Huo Zimu: "Didn't I provide that miniature landscape model? That's all, just a bottle of hair smoothing spray. It will make your hair smooth. Do you want it?"
Meng Yuening rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything.
At this moment, Huo Zimu rummaged in his bag and suddenly said, "Wait, I have this too."
He pulled out a paper boat.
This paper boat is small and looks very ordinary, nothing special.
Huo Zimu said, "This is called a boat in fire. It can travel on fire and won't be burned. Why don't we show this performance to the princess?"
Professor Pan said, "This prop looks good; perhaps the princess will like it."
Huo Zimu said, "I'm not providing this for free. At least give me a healing pill first so I can recover."
Jian Tanxi said, "The pills are very precious now, so try not to take them."
Huo Zimu said, "This paper boat is also very precious, so we should try not to tear it up, but I can still tear it up."
As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to tear up the paper boat.
Professor Pan quickly gave him a healing pill to help him recover his health.
Huo Zimu also gave the paper boat to Professor Pan.
Professor Pan said, "I'll go next time."
Jian Tanxi said, "This ship will be sailing through the fire. For safety's sake, I'll go instead. I have a fireproof gauze."
Professor Pan knew how powerful Jian Tanxi's fireproof gauze was, so he agreed.
It hadn't been ten minutes yet, but Jian Tanxi felt that preparing the fire would take a little time, so she wanted to go out early.
Without hesitation, she took the paper boat and went outside, saying to Miss Jenny, "I want to start earlier."
Miss Jenny nodded: "Okay."
Jian Tanxi said, "I would like to perform a magic trick for the princess. This paper boat I have can travel on fire. Could you please have someone prepare a fire?"
Miss Jenny said, "You will need to provide everything you need yourself."
Jian Tanxi was in a dilemma.
Without a fire, the performance couldn't be completed.
If she were to chop wood now, there wouldn't be enough time, and besides, she didn't have anything to start a fire.
Then she looked around and noticed a fire in the fireplace.
All you need to do is collect the wood from the fireplace, pile it up, and you're ready to perform.
Therefore, Jian Tanxi put on a fireproof gauze robe, quickly went to the fireplace and picked up a few thicker pieces of wood with a strong flame, and piled them in the center of the palace.
The palace floors are fireproof, so it doesn't matter.
The flames produced by these logs were large enough to complete a performance.
Jian Tanxi then placed the paper boat on it.
The paper boat swayed and prodded forward in the fire, just as if it were sailing on water. Moreover, it was not burned at all.
The princess clapped her hands and said, "This toy is nice."
But she didn't laugh.
Jian Tanxi's heart sank.
This princess is so hard to please!
Having no other choice, Jian Tanxi racked her brains and told several jokes.
Time was up, and unsurprisingly, it failed again.
Jian Tanxi was dragged back to the conference room by Miss Jenny.
Ten minutes later, Jian Tanxi, Qu Chen, Meng Yuening, and Huo Zimu were seriously injured, while Xu Yunhong, Lin Nanhuai, and Professor Pan were killed.
Jian Tanxi used three Resurrection Pills to save the three people.
Currently, there are 18 Healing Pills and 5 Resurrection Pills remaining.
