Xu Qing: "Don't be too happy yet. I think there will definitely be more ways to increase the player's mutation value in the future."
"Huh? What should we do then?" Luo Bin asked, blinking.
Xiao Jin held the amusement park guide in her hand, but showed no anxiety on her face: "Two options. Either speed up the completion of the project, and then stay hidden and don't move."
You can either find items in the park that can reduce mutation values, but the latter might actually cause mutation values to increase more rapidly during the search.
"In that case, it's better to find a place to hide. If we don't find any elimination items while searching, and our mutation value increases significantly, we'll end up losing out." Luo Bin frowned slightly.
"Ha~" Cui Mingyang chuckled: "Ying is just teasing you."
Xu Qing nodded: "That's right. It seems like there are two options, but in reality, we can only do the latter one."
The game will absolutely not give you a chance to passively hide; the final result will definitely be that your mutation value will have already increased to 100 before the return time even arrives.
Xiao Jin determined the direction of the bumper cars and walked over: "Moreover, you can't guarantee that you can still maintain human thinking after undergoing a high degree of mutation."
Xiao Jin's last sentence hit the nail on the head.
If someone truly lacks human thought, can they still be considered a player? And they could never return to their login space.
……………………
Before long, Xiao Jin and his group of five arrived at the bumper car attraction.
After leaving the restaurant, there were less than 40 players left on the player's side.
Having just left the disgusting ghost restaurant, the group wanted to find something more relaxing, so they chose bumper cars.
Since Xiao Xin had used up all her bumper car spots, she had to go to the haunted house instead. Xiao Jin, on the other hand, didn't do anything, because she had already thought of a better way.
The bumper car area is located in a semi-open, expansive area, surrounded by sturdy and elegant railings, isolating it from the noise of the outside world.
The midday sun shone through the clouds, casting dappled patterns all around, carrying a hint of heat.
Upon seeing the people in front of the bumper cars from afar, Tong Xiaolu and the others quickly destroyed the food bags in their hands to cover up the evidence.
The group didn't feel very comfortable during the meal, so after leaving the restaurant, Xiao Jin found some food and distributed it to them.
After all, there are still tough battles to fight this afternoon.
Unlike the chocolates before, this one is something that can actually fill your stomach.
They ate convenient foods like hand-pulled pancakes, sushi, mochi, taro cake, and fruit. They didn't look for a place to eat, but simply ate as they walked.
Try to eliminate everything before you get to the bumper cars.
After eating and drinking their fill, the group looked at the bumper cars. From their bright colors to the familiar collision sounds, they were exactly the same as the bumper cars in amusement parks in the real world.
Nothing seems out of the ordinary in the short term.
The rules for bumper cars are also very simple and clear:
The competition is conducted in groups of ten. Participants must remain in their vehicles for the allotted twenty minutes without being knocked out of the car. The last one standing wins.
Before long, the number of people was gathered.
With a soft click as the staff gently pulled open the gate, everyone entered the venue one after another.
All the cars here are pretty much the same, so Xiao Jin simply chose one that looked good and sat inside.
She didn't think much of it at first, but when she went inside, she was instantly dumbfounded. These bumper cars were like children's toys, with extremely cramped interior spaces.
Tong Xiaolu is rather small, but she can fit in the seat.
Compared to Xiao Jin and the other contestants, they looked rather clumsy. Their hands and feet could barely stretch out, and their bodies appeared particularly awkward in the cramped space.
Seeing this, the others could only force themselves inside, making sure their hands and feet weren't bound by the vehicle.
After adjusting my posture repeatedly, I was almost sweating.
But as soon as the staff member slammed the start button, the sky suddenly darkened, and the players had no time to react before everything went black.
Immediately afterwards, everyone found themselves suddenly in another space, surrounded by thick, dark darkness, so dark that they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces, and not even a sliver of light could escape.
Xiao Jin became secretly wary, her brows furrowing slightly as she sensed something amiss.
Logically, under such a sudden change, Xu Qing and the others should have immediately raised an alarm. However, half a day has passed, and why hasn't she caught even the slightest sound?
Now that their vision is restricted and communication is prohibited, it means that other players' bumper cars could suddenly burst out from some unknown corner at any time.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and then something even more shocking happened.
Xiao Jin's body jerked backward, and the bumper car beneath her suddenly started moving on its own, without her control, and at a considerable speed.
Xiao Jin tried to find the brakes, but her night vision seemed to be disabled in this strange space. Like the other players, Xiao Jin's vision was completely dark.
She could only rely on her sense of touch to painstakingly explore the cramped car interior.
However, no matter how hard Xiao Jin searched, she couldn't find a single trace of brakes.
Just then, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of them, moving at an astonishing speed and carrying an indescribable chill, as it crashed into Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin's heart clenched suddenly. Almost instinctively, she grabbed the steering wheel and turned it to the left with all her might.
The car shook violently as the dark figure brushed past the bumper car where Xiao Jin was sitting, creating a whooshing sound.
Xiao Jin could even feel its icy aura brushing against her cheek, sending chills down her spine.
Coming to her senses, Xiao Jin stopped trying to stop the bumper cars.
It seems this is one of the game's hidden rules; the only thing players can control is the steering wheel on the car.
So, Xiao Jin tried to recall what had just happened while mobilizing all her senses.
Perhaps it's the inherent quirk of this project, but when two bumper cars collide, Xiao Jin can briefly see what's happening on the other side.
She had a good memory and recognized that the person sitting in the car opposite was not any of the ten players.
That's a vengeful ghost!
It's a vengeful ghost full of malice towards players!
He was about ten years old, covered in bruises, and his gaze toward Xiao Jin was filled with venomous resentment and tyranny.
Without even thinking, Xiao Jin knew that the other party had deliberately bumped into her in order to eliminate her.
Moreover, it is not affected by the surrounding darkness and can accurately locate players.
