Chapter 23 Jasmine Town
Meng Le was also among the crowd, but because there were too many people queuing and she was short, she couldn't see Cao Xiaoliang himself. So she laughed to her friends beside her, "The Unparalleled God of War, hahaha, what kind of name is that? He must be an elementary school student!"
My friend said, "You're overthinking it. Primary school students are not allowed to enter the park."
That's right, even now, there's still an entry threshold to the Fantasy Park! Meng Le thought this was a good thing. Children are quite troublesome. If they get scared by the viewing corridor and burst into tears, it will affect the experience of other tourists! So she said with certainty, "It must be a little brat who just started junior high school!"
Today is Saturday, and Meng Le, a working woman, came early in the morning to support Fantasy Park. Besides the special feeling in her heart, Fantasy Park has indeed attracted her. Every time she comes out of Fantasy Park after defeating monsters, she is exhausted, but also feels a kind of comfort that is hard to describe. The quality of her sleep that night is also better than before. In the past few days, Meng Le wakes up and looks in the mirror and finds that her skin is a little smoother than before. She said to her friends: "Sure enough, exercise is the best skin care product."
My friend touched his face and nodded seriously.
The park had more than one ticket machine, so the lines were forming faster than before. Seeing this, Meng Le said, "It looks like the park really does have a new experience area! Previously, the park only allowed 20 people in a group, and the rest of the visitors either had to go into the viewing corridor or queue at the entrance. I think there were more than 50 people entering before."
Finally, it was their turn to buy tickets. Meng Le's nickname on the merit ranking list was Le Xiaomeng, which was simply her real name reversed. However, she was a low-key person and did not like the park's way of selling tickets. She also felt that since nicknames were chosen instead of real names, it meant that many people were just playing a game. It was quite embarrassing to announce her randomly chosen nickname and record in front of so many people.
Fortunately, I didn’t choose a childish nickname like the previous person. I wonder if I can talk to the head teacher about it. It would be great if it doesn’t have to be announced.
While Meng Le was thinking about this, he paid the ticket price with his mobile phone.
Please collect your ticket.
When the mechanical female voice sounded, Meng Le was stunned. She took out the ticket somewhat unexpectedly. Her friend was behind her, but the ticket machine announced her friend's nickname and record normally.
My friend was quite happy. "I'm in the top ten on the merit list! Did you see that just now? Those guys behind me were shocked when they heard my nickname and ranking. Hahaha. They're so big and strong, but their achievements can't compare to my thin arms and legs..."
As his friends chattered excitedly, Meng Le explained what went through his mind when buying the ticket. He then asked, "Didn't you hear the ticket machine introduce my nickname and ranking just now?"
The friend nodded, "I really didn't hear it. The ticket machine must have been malfunctioning!" Seeing Meng Le thoughtful, she said, "Do you think the ticket machine can read your mind?"
Meng Le thought about it, and realized it was possible the ticket machine could actually read people's minds. There must be something wrong, or maybe it was just set up to read things randomly. With that thought in mind, Meng Le put aside his suspicions and happily went on a trip with his friends.
In just five days, Fantasyland had changed significantly. Previously, upon entering the park, the entrance to the abandoned park was directly in front of you, followed by the entrance to the viewing corridor to the left and the exit to the right. However, this time, there was a sign next to the corridor sign, indicating a new fork on the left that led to Jasmine Town and the purple lake.
"It's just as advertised online. There are two new experience areas!"
"What is Jasmine Town? Is there a town with jasmine flowers?"
"There's also a purple lake. It all sounds pretty ordinary."
The voices of other tourists filled the surroundings. Meng Le and his companions had originally planned to go to the Abandoned Park to fight monsters and exercise, but the Abandoned Park was already full of people and they had to wait for half an hour for the next group, so they decided to go to the two newly opened experience areas first.
Following the direction of the sign, I saw that there was indeed a fork in the road next to the entrance of the viewing corridor. There used to be a wall here, but after the expansion of the Fantasy Park, the wall was demolished and replaced by a very spacious road paved with cobblestones of various colors. Cobblestones are not uncommon in the city, but there are not many such cobblestones that are so beautiful that form an entire road. And I don’t know why, after entering the park today, I felt very comfortable, but I couldn’t really tell where I felt comfortable.
"Maybe it's because the weather is good today so the air is good!" said my friend.
There were many tourists around. Meng Le and his companions took photos as they walked. Not long after walking along the road, they saw a small town made entirely of stone and wood appear in front of them. There was a wooden board at the door with the words "Jasmine Town" on it, which seemed to have been weathered by time.
Walking into the town, you can see that there are about twenty or thirty small houses in Jasmine Town. In addition, there are wells, firewood rooms, planting areas and other facilities to facilitate the lives of residents.
"The architectural style of this Jasmine Town is quite unique." Meng Le said. Due to her professional background, she is familiar with many architectural styles at home and abroad, but she has never seen one like the town in front of her.
Most of the houses in this town are built of stone, and the doors, windows and daily necessities are mostly made of wood. However, each house has several windows, but they are very small, and it looks like there is only enough space for one person to get in. Meng Le found it strange. If it was for lighting, why not just open larger windows? If it was for anti-theft, why didn't each window have a fence and was it made large enough for a person to get in?
If a thief comes in, can't he just break the wooden window?
Moreover, the wooden door here is also quite strange. It can be seen that it is made of a thick piece of solid wood, but it is very narrow and can only allow one person to enter and exit. There is a small hole on the door that can be opened and closed.
"It looks like this kind of building is built to prevent something from getting in, and that thing is quite large." Meng Le murmured.
My friend said without hesitation: "Isn't it just to prevent monsters?"
Meng Le suddenly realized what was going on. Yes, ever since the opening of the Fantasy Park, the monsters there have all become quite large. The smallest monster is larger than an adult man. The buildings here look like a defensive fortress that a village that has been harassed by monsters has been forced to build. With this connection, everything in this town seems to have a story. Looking at every brick and tile here, it feels different from before.
Meng Le became a little excited, "I think Fantasy Park is really thoughtful!"
As I was thinking this, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! Monster!"
Meng Le looked up suddenly and saw a giant snake with three heads coming out from the corner. Each head had a pair of sinister fangs. Its upper body stood up and looked at least three meters tall.
This time the park did not give them glasses, and the tourists faced the monster with their naked eyes. Everyone felt a cold and oppressive feeling. Meng Le's legs even softened involuntarily. She seemed to be back to the first time she entered the fantasy park. She was so scared by the extremely lifelike monster that she didn't even have the courage to run away.
Most other tourists felt the same way; the oppressive feeling of this monster was too strong.
At this moment, a mechanical voice rang out from the sky, "This is the Level 3 monster that has occupied Jasmine Town and murdered all the residents. Warriors, please defeat the three-headed snake and make it pay for its evil deeds!"
At the same time, a video emerged from nowhere. The tourists saw a three-headed snake break into Jasmine Town and slaughter the townspeople. They saw those simple townspeople bravely fighting to protect their homes, but they ultimately failed to drive it out and collapsed helplessly in a pool of blood...
Although there was no sound but only pictures, the instinctive compassion in human nature made many tourists' eyes warm.
"Kill the three-headed snake!" Someone yelled first, but then almost all the tourists rushed forward. Some of them only had the initial wooden sticks provided by the park, while others already had props like axes. With a roar, they rushed forward. Even Meng Le, who had been paralyzed by fear, suddenly came to his senses. Yes, isn't this just a hologram? Grandma, what am I afraid of!
Meng Le yelled, "Come out my baby Hammer!"
The next moment, a sledgehammer fell into her hands out of thin air. Amid the envious exclamations of "Wow!" from the surrounding tourists, Meng Le smashed the three-headed snake's head with the hammer.
No one can stop me from earning merits!

On this day, the Jasmine Town in the Fantasy Park and the remaining images of the townspeople became hot searches.
