Chapter 127 Humanoid Boss
Dear warriors, the "Death by Monster" game has officially ended, and your points are being calculated.
[The humanoid monster boss will arrive at the battlefield in five hours. Warriors, please be prepared.]
"Five hours!" The tourists were shocked when they heard this.
Zhang Minmin and the others worked hard for an entire afternoon and finally made it to the first tier in the points ranking. They were feeling happy, but when they heard the news, their hearts sank.
Liao Aiguo: "It's six o'clock now. Wouldn't it be eleven o'clock in five hours? Why are the activities only starting at this time?" He said with a bitter face: "I have to go back to take care of the children at eight o'clock in the evening."
Zhang Hua was also surprised. "I thought we'd have a break of one or two hours for lunch at most, but it took five hours!"
Zhang Minmin and Cao Xiaoliang exchanged glances, both looking rather glum. After all, tomorrow was Monday, and they were both students. How could they possibly stay up all night fighting monsters? Although their physical fitness had improved significantly since their frequent visits to the park, and they could pull an all-nighter without feeling tired, their parents would call if they didn't return home after 10 p.m. How could they possibly wait until 11 p.m.?
Ma Xiaoxiao looked at them, feeling both relieved and disappointed. He was relieved that he had resigned and could play as long as he wanted. He was disappointed that his team worked well together and they had a lot of fun. Without his teammates, the game became less fun.
There was no way out. As students, Zhang Minmin and Cao Xiaoliang had to go home, and Liao Aiguo had to go back to take care of the children. Only Ma Xiaoxiao and Zhang Hua could stay.
Before leaving, Zhang Minmin and Cao Xiaoliang comforted them, "Don't worry. The others can't just skip meals and rest and keep fighting monsters. This is the first time a humanoid boss has appeared in the park, so we definitely won't be able to defeat them all on the first day. We'll be here right after school. Keep up the good work! We'll be watching you in the livestream tonight and tomorrow."
Ma Xiaoxiao and Zhang Hua nodded repeatedly. They knew in their hearts that without their teammates, their team's ranking would definitely plummet, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, studying was more important.
Even before the points were settled, the park's announcements were already telling visitors to leave and rest. Ma Xiaoxiao and Zhang Hua left the third map, walked around the entrance to the City of Mischief, and then went to the Dwarf Restaurant for dinner.
Most of the people who were served in the Dwarf Restaurant at this moment were tourists who had just finished the "Killing Monsters" game. The restaurant was very noisy, and many people complained about the unreasonable arrangement of the park activities while waiting for their meals.
"I checked into the hot springs last night and started killing monsters at 8am sharp. I had planned to play until 8pm and then rest, but it turns out the boss doesn't spawn until 11pm. Who can make it until then?"
"That's right. Most people should go to bed at 11 o'clock. By 11 o'clock, they're so sleepy that no one wants to go hunting monsters!"
"The park planners stood up and took the beating!"
"I heard that the director often hangs out in the park. Go find him and complain about the planner!"
"Can't we move it forward a few hours? Starting at eight o'clock would be perfect."
"The park used to close at 9:00, and most of the hot springs services stopped at 10:00. But this time they're not opening until 11:00. What's the plan?"
Chi Yizheng also received a lot of feedback from tourists. As soon as he opened the official account, the comment section was full of complaints about the event time.
Chi Yi really wants the event to start at 11 o'clock. Is that what I want? It's obviously that humanoid monster that sneaks into the park at 11 o'clock, okay?
But he couldn't tell the truth. If he did, the tourists would think he was just playing a joke to fool them. So after thinking about it, Chi Yizhen asked Meng Xiaodai to issue an announcement.
v Fantasy Paradise: Good evening, dear families. Regarding the boss battle not starting until 11 PM, the park has no choice but to adjust some of its activities due to the recent high number of complaints. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. (Fist jpg). Rest assured, during large-scale events, the park will have staff on duty 24/7, rotating shifts, and will ensure that everyone's service is taken seriously.
Hey, just don't tell us what complaints you've received, and don't explain why you'd rather schedule it at 11 o'clock than tomorrow. Just keep the tourists guessing.
Sure enough, not long after, the tone of the comment section changed. Some people offered comfort, some encouraged, some said they were very generous and forgave Fantasy Park, and more were just speculations.
——Complain? I’m surprised. Fantasyland is so fun and the service is so thoughtful. Who would be so stupid as to complain about Fantasyland?
The park's business is so good, people are jealous. Didn't people steal glasses and throw snakes into the park before? But thanks to swift police action and the mainstream media's support for the park, things gradually calmed down.
—I think it's probably a parent complaint! If the activity is set at 11 a.m., wouldn't that screen out the students? Tomorrow is Monday!
Yeah, although the park hasn't mentioned it much, I think it's received a lot of complaints. In the past, to protect children's mental health, they didn't allow children into the observation corridor and the monster-killing attractions. As a result, they received complaints from elementary school students about consumer discrimination. The park had to issue a test to ensure that the children could pass before letting them in. Kids these days are incredibly conscious of their rights. When I was a kid, I wouldn't have dared go if I wasn't allowed to play.
—Hahaha, I was so excited when I found out the event was scheduled for 11 o'clock. I just went online and realized you've been opposing it for so many years! No, what are you opposing? The park's merit rankings now include not only kindergarteners, but also first graders and seventy-year-olds—every age group. There are even quite a few elementary school students in the top 1,000. Setting the time at 11 o'clock will screen out a lot of people, so won't we earn points faster?
—Right, right, right! Kids have to go to school, and the elderly don't have as much energy as we do. Wouldn't our chances of winning a mount be even greater then? Why object? The real thing is to pull an all-nighter and rack up the points!
After this debate, netizens suddenly had an epiphany and no longer had any doubts about the park's activity arrangements. Some people even excitedly said that this time, thanks to the large-scale event, their points would finally surpass the old lady in front of them.
A bored person clicked on this person's homepage and found out that this person was an unlucky guy who was always defeated by the team of elderly people. He couldn't help but light a row of candles for him.
At 11 p.m., visitors began to enter the third map. Since it was already midnight, the third map, though undeveloped, had been decorated with numerous lights. The white lights shone on the grass and trees, creating a distinctly different feel from daytime. Furthermore, despite being in a place that resembled the wilderness at night, not a single mosquito bit the visitors. This was quite strange, but the visitors were too preoccupied with earning points to notice. Even if they did notice, they would simply appreciate the park's excellent service, including the pre-emptive mosquito control.
Xia Qingqing entered the third map. She originally thought that being ten minutes early was early enough, but she didn't expect that there were many people who arrived earlier than her. It seems that everyone's desire for points is really strong!
At this time, a puffing sound was heard above her head. Xia Qingqing looked up and saw a large snow-white bird swooping down. When it was several meters above the ground, it transformed into a human and landed beside her. It was the knife bird that had been with her all day.
At this time, in the third map, it is not uncommon to see the flying Puccinators and the running Ground Dragons. Whether they are accompanying the tourists during the day or the Ground Dragons hiding in the "white clouds" and watching, they have all chosen the warriors they like the most.
The warriors who were selected were ecstatic, thinking that the points ranking had not yet been announced, so could it be that they had already been selected?
However, the ground dragon and the puff bird that took the initiative to walk up to them were not as calm as they were during the day. On the contrary, their eyes were darting around, and their wings and hooves were moving around, making them look a little anxious and uneasy.
Some tourists were careless and didn't notice their emotions at all. They were still taking pictures of the ground dragon and the puffin bird that transformed into a beauty. They thought they looked better under the lights than during the day, like He Jing.
Other tourists noticed this, like Ma Xiaoxiao and others. She even discussed it with Zhang Hua, saying, "The park arranges every activity so carefully. Look, the Puccinator and the Ground Dragon are obviously getting anxious. That's all about emotional expression!"
Whether it was the former or the latter, the tourists didn't care much at first, and only thought about how to get more points, but as time passed, they couldn't help but become a little nervous.
If it were a mobile phone or computer game, people wouldn't feel so strongly about it, but everything in front of them seemed so real, and there were a lot of people participating in the event. Even if there were only a few thousand people present because it was too late, this emotion spread extremely quickly.
Fortunately, the park did not make the tourists wait too long, and soon the broadcast sounded again.
Dear warriors, in this Frost Descent event, we must face a level 30 humanoid monster. Its name is the Hawk-Eyed Basilisk, a boss-level monster possessing speed, strength, flight, agility, venom, and exceptional dynamic vision...
During the park broadcast, eleven o'clock arrived.
In a corner behind the abandoned park in Fantasyland, a hawk-eyed basilisk emerged from a hole in the world's barrier. As soon as it arrived in this world, its nose twitched slightly, and it sniffed the overpowering scent of flesh and blood. But when it sniffed more carefully, the scent was gone, as if it had only just imagined it.
What the hawk-eyed basilisk couldn't see was that a second before it drilled out of the hole, all the buildings in the park emitted a layer of faint light that it was invisible to, protecting the breath of all living creatures moving in the park, making it airtight.
The only people it could sense at this moment were the thousands of people waiting to defeat the BOSS.
Of course, the hawk-eyed basilisk quickly felt the breath of those thousands of people. Although there were not a few people, their levels were all very low, with the highest not exceeding level 11. There was a natural gap between level 30 and level 11, and this gap could not be filled by a few thousand people.
It knew very well that someone had isolated this place from other places, but it didn't matter. As long as it ate those thousands of extraordinary people, it could move up two levels, and then find out who was behind the scenes. No one could stop it from dominating this new world!
The Hawk-Eyed Basilisk spread its black wings and flew straight towards that place. It was a powerful humanoid monster, bringing with it a terrifying gust of wind, but as soon as it landed, it was greeted by a group of weak humans who were celebrating.
Hawk-Eyed Basilisk: ???
