Chapter 105: Cake Escape Incident
The Prank City has been open for more than ten days now. Based on the feedback from tourists, the transformation effects of the Prank City are constantly being adjusted.
One of them is: if the transformed form is an object or something like that, try not to have a human face. Even if a human face is necessary, make it a simple drawing, otherwise it will be too scary for children.
After comparison, Chi Yizheng found that embedding a human face was indeed scary at times and would reduce the playability, so he made a bold move and allowed the red-eyed elves to be fully unleashed when performing their prank skills, without having to retain the human face.
As soon as the announcement of the adjustment of the transformation effect came out, the socially anxious people rushed to tell each other that once the transformation was successful, they completely released their nature and became existences that made the socially anxious people speechless.
At the same time, another way to play Prank City has spread across the city at a speed faster than a virus. More and more tourists who have turned into objects have joined in. They are just like playing hide-and-seek, standing still in one place for a long time. Once a tourist passes by, they suddenly jump up to scare them, becoming more annoying than the red-eyed elves. But at the same time, many tourists also enjoy it. Some even memorize the map of Prank City and start live broadcasts to enjoy the joy of exposing the "objects" with the online tourists.
Meng Linlin was one of this annoying group. She was also aware of how incongruous it was for her to appear on the roadside in this transformed form, so she deliberately squatted in front of the tourist map. There was a flower bush in front of the map, and the flower bush was surrounded by stone fences. She jumped directly onto the stone fence, and it looked like someone had temporarily placed a cake there.
Because the cake she transformed into looked very expensive, and because Zhang Ruoruo's transformation attracted the attention of all tourists, no one came to touch her for a long time.
But she didn't expect Zhang Ruoruo to raise a knife towards her, as if she was going to cut her into pieces!
Meng Linlin was shocked. Is this cake yours? You picked up the knife and wanted to cut it? No, no, you're a tourist, and you brought a knife in. You're not a pervert!
In that split second, countless thoughts raced through Meng Linlin's mind. Could it be... this person was a psychopathic killer, deliberately coming in to kill people? And then using the excuse that he didn't know this person was real?
Meng Linlin's pupils trembled and she wanted to run away immediately. However, she had been squatting there for too long. Although she looked like a cake on the outside, she was still a human being on the inside. When she jumped up, she found that her legs were numb. She stumbled and fell on Zhang Ruoruo.
Because of her past experience, Zhang Ruoruo always hides a small knife on her body whenever she goes out.
In this city of pranks, with her mother by her side, she became the focus of all attention in her extremely gorgeous transformation. She no longer had to worry about someone in the crowd rushing out to hurt her. She was no longer the little girl who could only scream in fear in front of bad guys a few years ago, so she finally bravely took out the knife she had hidden.
This cake is so huge! She thought, I can't waste it! She cut it into pieces with a knife and distributed them to the tourists who were applauding her. But before she could cut it, the huge cake fell over. Zhang Ruoruo was startled and subconsciously reached out to catch it, but the cream hit her hands and face. Then the huge cake bounced away from her at an incredible speed.
Zhang Ruoruo: ...
She blinked, a little bit of cream still on her eyelashes.
The tourists watching also exclaimed in surprise, and someone shouted: "The cake escaped!"
The tourists outside didn't see what was happening, so they saw Zhang Ruoruo covered in cream and the huge cake still bouncing off into the distance. Without thinking, they shouted, "Someone took the cake!"
What? Someone's stealing cakes in Mischief City! Are thieves that rampant?
It’s so bad!
The tourists at the outermost edge felt a surge of sense of justice and rushed over to try to stop the big cake from escaping. As expected, they were all covered with cream. Some of them subconsciously licked it and found it was quite sweet!
The tourists were even more excited. Some of them ran after the cake, shouting, some moved tables to try to stop it, some raised umbrellas and kept hitting the air next to the big cake, and some ran to the staff to complain, "Oh no, someone stole the cake, it's an expensive cake!"
The staff was also confused and immediately called security to stop them when they heard this.
Meng Linlin thought she'd escaped the suspect's knife, but when she turned around, she was shocked to see so many people chasing her. It would have been fine if they were just chasing her, but why were they even trying to pluck the cream from her? Were these people all perverts?
Meng Linlin's scalp tingled, and she felt that these tourists had all gone crazy. She didn't dare to stop anymore, and her legs almost ran like Hot Wheels, and the big cake also rushed forward close to the ground as if it could fly.
Ever since Zhang Ruoruo's gorgeous transformation, some people have started live streaming targeting Zhang Ruoruo. At first, they thought that the cake was a prop transformed by tourists, but when they took a closer look, oh wow, the cream was actually falling off!
The barrage of comments suddenly became intense.
"The cream is falling off, it must be a real cake! It has so many layers, and there are cherries and strawberries on top. It looks very expensive."
"I wonder which tourist is so wicked as to steal someone's cake. He must be invisible!"
"I haven't heard that there's an invisible transformation effect in the City of Mischief!"
"You're stupid, right? Look at that guy who's clearly caught up but keeps sweeping the umbrella around the cake. Someone must be invisible, and they want to knock that person out."
"Oh my god, someone secretly scooped a handful of butter!"
"If it were me, I would dig it out too. It would be so much fun! And with a big cake running around on the road, who could resist taking a bite?"
"Hahaha, there was a fool who moved a table to try to stop the cake, but the table legs bent and hit him, hahaha..."
In the lively atmosphere, suddenly a barrage of comments slowly floated by.
"Do you think there's a possibility that the big cake was transformed from a human?"
The live broadcast room was silent for a moment.
"No way, the cake that turns into a human will drop the cream?"
"That's hard to say. After all, the technology in the park is so advanced. Speaking of which, during the previous exploration mission, didn't Zhang Minmin say that her butterfly wings would lose powder?"
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
The escape of the big cake was finally put to an end by Chi Xiaozhen. She was at the test flight square at the time and noticed the chaos in the City of Pranks soon after. So she flapped her wings and flew down from the high platform. She put one hand on the big cake that was jumping so hard that even some strawberries and cherries fell off. The big cake instantly turned into Meng Linlin herself, and all the people who were chasing the cake were dumbfounded.
Only the audience in the live broadcast room were frantically posting comments such as "The goddess is so beautiful", "The wings are flapping so beautifully", "Is it big wings that I lack? What I lack is this face and this figure. Okay, actually, I lack big wings too"...
Such a dramatic incident in the City of Pranks became a hot topic on the same day. The fast-moving reporter Fang Jiu immediately rushed over and interviewed the participants in this misunderstanding.
Zhang Ruoruo: "Today is my birthday. My mother said she wanted to give me a surprise. When I came in, I saw the cake and I thought it was for me."
Aunt Zhang said: "Today is my daughter's birthday. I agreed with the park to give her a surprise. I thought the cake was arranged by the park."
The tourist chasing the cake said, "Ah, I thought someone took the cake as a prank."
"I thought it was a red-eyed elf playing a prank, flying with the cake underneath, and I was trying to chase the red-eyed elf away!"
"That cream is quite delicious. I'm curious how they made it."
"To be honest, I saw that cake on Transformation Street a while ago. My child is in the oral stage, so he went over and took two bites."
Meng Linlin said expressionlessly, "Ah, I was running so hard that I forgot I'm a human being and can speak."
Audience: Phew!
The last part was an interview with the director of the park. Facing the camera, Chi Yizheng wanted to use some scientific and technological terms, but when he thought about the park's current popularity and the increasing number of scientists paying attention to it, he felt that if he really started to talk nonsense, his half-baked knowledge would be exposed at any time. So he hesitated and chose to tell the truth.
"Everyone knows that our park has always been committed to showcasing the charm of another world. The Red-Eyed Elves' mischievous magic is one of them. When they use this innate skill, it consumes a certain amount of supernatural power, just like using a big move in a game consumes mana. Whether it's scales dropped from butterfly wings or the cream in a cake, it's all transformed by this supernatural power. Don't worry if it falls on you; it will disappear soon. And don't worry if you eat it; it will be converted into energy and stored in the body... Ah, of course it can't be the clothes, hair, or dust on the tourists!"
"As for the texture and sweetness you can feel," the headmaster said with a faint smile, "that's a supernatural power simulating your imagination."
Audience: ...
Enough, Director. If you don’t want to reveal business secrets, just say it directly. It’s really eye-catching to see you trying so hard to cover up with your supernatural powers.

The cake escape incident came to an end, but the tourists developed another way to play in the City of Pranks. This time, they did not ask the red-eyed elves to give them bigger wings, but asked the red-eyed elves to turn them into delicacies.
In response, the red-eyed elves smiled evilly and turned the tourists who made the request into things with very strong smells, such as snail noodles, stinky tofu, large durian, large flowers and plants. The smells of these things mixed together and produced an indescribable olfactory attack. On that day, many tourists in the City of Pranks were asking the staff whether the toilet sewage pipe had exploded.
Staff: ...

After the interview, Zhang Ruoruo happily took photos with her mother and flew around the entire Prank City. Aunt Zhang is old and has little energy, so she couldn't hold on any longer in the afternoon. After Zhang Ruoruo sent her to the Fantasy Hotel to rest, she went out to play alone. The gorgeous big wings behind her can be folded and released freely. Aunt Zhang is very confident in her current appearance and encourages her to play with other young tourists.
Zhang Ruoruo agreed repeatedly, but after she went out, she did not look for anyone to play with. Instead, she went to the place where Atalan had been imprisoned. However, Atalan was more popular than she thought, and many people visited the underground pool. While waiting in line, Zhang Ruoruo's eyes wandered around, and suddenly she noticed a shop not far away with four words written on it: Wishing House.
