At this time, whether it was the audience squatting in front of the live broadcast room or the five warriors who were waiting here in advance, they all looked a little surprised when they saw Duoduo walking towards them.
"Is this the strongest warrior recommended by the headmaster? He looks so small!"
"She's so pretty, with all that baby fat on her face, she really is an elementary school student!"
"Little sister, what's your name, and how old are you?"
The person who asked this question was Ma Xiaoxiao.
Of the five people chosen by Fantasy Paradise this time, two were locals from Jinan City, and three were from outside the city. The locals were high school students Cao Xiaoliang and Zhang Minmin, while the outsiders were Ma Xiaoxiao and two men: a tall, thin man in his twenties named Zhang Hua, and a man clearly approaching middle age.
Upon hearing this, Duoduo took a big sip of milk tea, drank the last bit of milk tea, and then said: "Duoduo, thirteen years old." After she finished speaking, she threw the milk tea cup back without even looking at it, and with a click, she threw it accurately into the trash can. This move stunned the audience, not to mention the five people present.
Ma Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "You are so amazing, kid."
Under Duoduo's guidance, a huge curtain that blocked the view suddenly opened from the middle, like the opening of a grand show on the stage. Then, an extremely tall and magnificent city wall appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, both the five selected tourists and the audience squatting in front of the live broadcast screen were shocked by the scene before them.
The golden wheat-colored city walls built of bricks and stones are tall and magnificent. The towers on both sides of the top of the wall are slightly glowing in the sun. The tall black wooden door shows no signs of splicing, and there are marks of sand, gnawing and impact on the door. The edges are also uneven and slightly worn, as if they have experienced many impacts.
A sense of historical sedimentation comes over you. When you stand here, it is as if you are walking through the unknown fragments of light and shadows of mankind in the cracks of history.
——Wow, the Prank City I imagined has always been an animated cartoon, I didn’t expect it to be like this.
——It was so funny. The five tourists had dazed expressions when they looked up.
——The city wall was so high that they felt like they had accidentally entered the land of giants standing there.
Without giving the audience time to sigh, the black city gate opened with a loud creaking sound. At the same time the city gate opened, a broadcast voice resounded throughout the area.
Good morning, respected warriors, and welcome to explore the City of Mischief, a great city-state lost in history. Your mission is to discover its former name and history and defend it. The entire mission will be livestreamed. Revenue from the livestream and subsequent traffic will be divided equally among the six warriors, after deducting operating expenses. Warriors, give your all to win this battle.
Of course, the broadcast sound was also synchronized into the live broadcast room. Before the five tourists had time to react, the barrage of comments sent by the audience had already filled the screen.
——Wow, Fantasy Park really made a big investment this time!
——Everyone knows that the Fantasy Park is very popular. This time, the Prank City has been preheated for more than half a month in advance, and there are a huge number of people paying attention to it. Now the live broadcast has just started and there are already 10 million people watching online at the same time. It is said that after the live broadcast, the wonderful clips will be edited and put on the video platform, and there will be advertising income in the future... This time, those five tourists made a lot of money!
——I made a lot of money +1. Not only did I get a free day ahead of others, but the travel expenses, food and accommodation were also covered. I was already envious enough, and this time I even got a share of the traffic. I am so jealous. I didn’t know the benefits of killing monsters when I was young, and when I needed it, I hated the ranking... Woohoo, why didn’t I work hard to kill monsters before? If I was ranked above 5,000, maybe I could have won it too.
—Fantasyland is so generous this time! I really want to travel back a few days to see how much money these tourists get. It must be at least tens of thousands of yuan!
——Ahhh, hurry in, hurry in, I’m so looking forward to seeing the red-eyed elves!
Amid the audience's anticipation, Duoduo took the lead and walked into the city of pranks.
After walking in personally, the feeling was even greater than being outside. Most of the buildings in the city use the same golden wheat-colored bricks and stones as the city walls, with peculiar modeling styles, slightly messy traces of life, flags flying on tall buildings, wind chimes hanging on the big trees by the river... It seems as if taking people to another world.
——The architectural style here is similar to the ones seen in Jasmine Town and the Fantasy Haunted House, but it is a bit more rugged.
——I remember that a blogger once analyzed that the fantasy park wants to create a new world, so it is normal for the architectural style to be unified!
—Huh? Did something just flash by?
——Ahhhh, it really is there, be careful!
Human perspective is limited, but the live broadcast room is all-encompassing, so two screens were specially set up for this purpose. One is an overhead shot, and the other follows the direction of the tourists' movement, of course, it can see angles that the tourists cannot see. At this time, it was discovered that the tourists on the screen were completely unaware. The audience was initially immersed in the show and became anxious. Later, a barrage of comments floated by, and the atmosphere in the live broadcast room changed.
——Sorry, I suddenly remembered the setting of the red-eyed elf. It’s just a prank, right?
——Ah, the one that just flashed by was a red-eyed elf. Suddenly I’m not worried at all!
The prank city looked deserted, with no staff or NPCs participating in the interaction. The team walked forward for a while, and the middle-aged man called out a few times, but found no one responding. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are there no staff? How can we play here?"
After he finished speaking, their team suddenly seemed to be cursed. One person tripped, another fell, and banana peels would suddenly flash under their feet from time to time. None of the problems were serious. They had put on protective gear in advance and were not injured. However, every step they took was terrifying, as if there were landmines under their feet.
Zhang Hua, a tall and thin boy, was just following the group forward when he suddenly tripped and fell forward with a thud. He was in a panic and instinctively grabbed the person in front of him. With a ripping sound, the middle-aged man's outer pants were torn, revealing the bright red autumn trousers underneath. He immediately turned his head, stared at Zhang Hua with wide eyes and asked, "What are you doing!"
Zhang Hua was startled and subconsciously let go and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just tripped suddenly..."
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "It's bad luck." But since Zhang Hua didn't do it on purpose, he didn't make things difficult for him. He just covered his pants and looked around. "This should be live broadcast now! Wouldn't the whole country be able to see it?"
The others nodded and quickly formed a fence around him.
——Wow, I thought others would laugh at him. Sorry, I just laughed. Please deduct my merits!
——Although they are all strangers, it is still quite heartwarming.
——Hasn't anyone noticed that this uncle is particularly unlucky? He's been the one who got into trouble many times before.
——Duoduo is so great, he avoids the traps accurately every time.
The middle-aged man wanted to go out and ask the staff for a pair of pants to change into. Although he had a pair of autumn trousers that were above his knees and would not reveal anything, he still felt that it was not very decent. However, at this time, the gate of the City of Pranks had automatically closed.
The others followed Duoduo's lead and went to search the nearby houses. Cao Xiaoliang said in surprise, "There are clothes in the poor houses here. Why don't you come and find one to wear?"
The middle-aged man saw the clothes they were carrying. Although the style was strange, they did have two legs. So he took one and went to change in the other room. Just as he closed the door, a red-eyed elf with small black wings, wearing thorn armor and holding a thorn fork, passed by with a smile. With a wave of the thorn fork, a lock suddenly appeared on the door. The middle-aged man, who was changing his pants, was completely unaware of this.
audience:……
——Hahaha, gosh, that’s so mean! He’ll be so pissed when he finds out!
——Wow, even though it’s bad, it’s so cute, and its bad look is so cool.
How is this done? Is it holographic again? But can holograms be this realistic?
—Who cares how he did it? I've already started laughing.
At this moment, the live broadcast screen switched to someone else's screen. What the audience couldn't see was that the middle-aged man had finally changed into his strange-looking pants and was about to open the door when he found it was locked. He opened his mouth to call for help when a red-eyed elf in thorn armor suddenly appeared before him.
The red-eyed elf laughed, took out a thorn fork, pointed it at him and shouted, "Prank!"
With a thud, the middle-aged man fell to the ground. Shocked, he touched his lower body and discovered that he had turned into a merman! A merman with a beard, exposed chest and belly, not beautiful at all!
On the other side, Ma Xiaoxiao was wondering why the person who went to change his pants hadn't come back yet, when he heard Duoduo shout, "Come here quickly, I found a clue."
Everyone gathered around and saw Duoduo holding a piece of paper in one hand and a small box the size of a palm in the other. There was a line of words written on the paper: This is the land of Thornes. Every human who comes here will be our brother or sister. We welcome all human outsiders.
Ma Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "So this place is called Thornes?"
At this moment, there was a ding-dong sound, and the broadcast sounded again, "Congratulations to the warriors for finding the former name of the City of Mischief - Thornes. Please keep up the good work."
Duoduo nodded and said, "Look for more boxes like this. There should be clues and props inside." She opened the box again, and a golden net bag floated out?
Click on the net bag and a description will appear next to it: Net bag for catching red eyes.
Now the mission is very clear, find clues to piece together the history of Thornes, and capture the red-eyed elf at the same time.
Ma Xiaoxiao was saying, "How can you catch red-eyed elves when they're so cute?" She was gazing enviously at the net in Duoduo's hand. Suddenly, Duoduo tossed the net into her hands and said, "Here you go. No need to refuse. We're a team." Then she swiftly gave the task, "You two form a team and quickly spread out to explore the surrounding area. I'll head towards the central avenue."
——I don't know why? Even though she's an elementary school student, she looks so cool when she's serious!
——Yes, yes, yes, and she is very reliable and has a strong aura. Several adults are obedient in front of her.
—Hahaha, did anyone notice? Duoduo just secretly ate some candy. Elementary school students shouldn't eat too much candy, or they'll get cavities.
—Oh my god, did anyone notice? A red-eyed elf has quietly slipped into Zhang Hua's clothes.
