Chapter 95: Exploration Mission Ends
As Atalan's soul rested in peace, Liao Aiguo was also released from that dark underground cage.
His lower body had returned to normal, and he followed a red-eyed elf into the palace, holding up his slightly loose pants.
As his eyes fell upon the surrounding buildings, he couldn't help but be filled with wonder. He had been sucked into an underground tunnel shortly after entering the City of Mischief. Up until then, he had only explored the civilian areas of the City of Mischief. While the buildings and streets there were quite exotic, they were also quite plain and dated.
But the royal palace is different. It embodies the thoughts and sweat of all the skilled craftsmen of Thornes. Even people without artistic talent can feel the magnificence and majesty that are displayed after exhausting all human and material resources as soon as they step into here.
"This is it, please come in."
Liao Aiguo didn't understand why these red-eyed elves suddenly became polite, and thought it was a problem with the park's programming. He withdrew his gaze from the exquisite carvings in the corridor and looked at the open door in front of him, and saw the other tourists inside at a glance.
Seeing his companions standing under the curtains of the hall, Liao Aiguo walked in excitedly, "You're all here!"
Except for Zhang Minmin, everyone else's body returned to normal. Liao Aiguo didn't know about their wonderful experience, and as soon as he came in, he couldn't help but look at the pair of butterfly wings behind Zhang Minmin.
Zhang Minmin flapped her wings to show off, "This can fly."
Liao Aiguo widened his eyes in envy.
They were both pranked by the red-eyed elves. He was turned into a mermaid with limited mobility and was thrown into a tunnel, while Zhang Minmin got wings to assist in flying. What a different fate for the same person!
The moment everyone arrived, the announcement sounded again, "Ding! Congratulations to all the warriors for overcoming the difficulties and passing the test. Now begins the final chapter of the exploration mission: clearing out the monster tide. Each warrior who completes the mission will receive a rare item."
Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up. They were all ranked above 5,000, so they certainly understood the importance of props. With the help of props, someone ranked only 10,000 could leap above 5,000 with just effort. And in Fantasy Paradise, the difference in pay brought about by this ranking difference was equivalent to saving hundreds of dollars.
Compared to before, the red-eyed elves now seemed quite cooperative. The cloak behind the Little Thorn King fluttered, carrying him to the tall lampstand. Standing on the lampstand, the Little Thorn King seemed to be standing on a tower of power. He waved his thorn scepter and issued an order, "Now, those who are willing to unite with these warriors, step forward."
The red-eyed elves are also a strange race that has difficulty reproducing. From thousands of years ago until now, there have only been more than 30,000 members of the tribe.
Although the five warriors who entered the paradise today were not at a high level in terms of extraordinary level, they all had their own highlights. Zhang Minmin was the highest level among them, Ma Xiaoxiao was of low level but had good talent, Liao Aiguo helped Atalan to rest in peace, and Cao Xiaoliang's transformation into a big mooncake did not prevent him from rolling very fast... Although some pranks were played on them, there were also many red-eyed elves who took a liking to them.
At King Little Thorn's command, five red-eyed elves emerged from the group and flew in front of Zhang Minmin and the others, their gazes filled with anticipation. They then raised their thorn forks and gently tapped the foreheads of the five tourists. At that instant, a tiny ray of light shone between the warriors' brows.
Several people originally thought it was just a special effect and did not pay too much attention to it. However, when the tiny light touched their foreheads, they actually felt a sensation between their eyebrows.
Cao Xiaoliang grabbed Zhang Hua beside him and said excitedly, "Did you feel that? I felt like my forehead was burned just now."
Zhang Hua's face flushed with excitement, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I felt like I was burned too. It's amazing!"
Others had the same reaction.
Live audience: Help! He even managed to fly! It's just a burn on your forehead, is there any need to get so excited? Look at the expression on King Little Thorn's face!
The contempt on King Little Thorn's face was barely concealed. He snorted, "What a bunch of ignorant tourists."
General Thorn beside him whispered, "Your Majesty, you are mistaken. You should call them warriors."
King Little Thorn: ...
Despite this, the five red-eyed elves successfully transformed into purple-eyed ones. The color of the thorn armor on their bodies became darker, and the thorn forks in their hands were obviously sharper than before. The monsters outside were still roaring, but the sound of cannons exploding seemed to ring in everyone's ears.
They walked to the great wall of the palace with their exclusive purple-eyed Thorns, and fought with the elves somewhat awkwardly.
The purple-eyed Thornes bound to Zhang Minmin rushed out first. It was extremely fast and hit a monster that was smashing the wall like a meteor. It poked the monster with the thorn fork in its hand, and then flew back to Zhang Minmin like a meteor.
Zhang Minmin instantly felt a strange power in her body. She flapped her wings and flew down the palace wall, summoning the prop she had once obtained - a bow and arrow that was glowing. After finding the distance, she began to draw the bow and shoot arrows. With one arrow, the monster became dizzy. With the second arrow, the monster twisted and turned into black mist and dissipated.
Seeing this, the others also cooperated with the purple-eyed elf to fight monsters.
Although they had a hard time getting half the result with twice the effort at the beginning due to lack of coordination, these people were not stupid and they quickly adapted to the situation and became more and more proficient at playing.
This scene also made the audience excited.
Because Fantasy Paradise constantly offers promotions, the rankings on the Merit List fluctuate rapidly. Previously, a Level 1 Warrior could be in the top 100, but now, if you're not at least Level 6, you can't even dream of even breaking into the top 100. Zhang Minmin is ranked over 1,000, and her Warrior Level shouldn't be higher than Level 4. However, using items and the help of the Purple-Eyed Elf, she was able to kill a Level 9 monster with two critical hits. The Red-Eyed Elf's support is simply too strong.
——Before Ma Xiaoxiao entered the City of Pranks, her merit points were just over 5,000, and she didn't even have any props. But with the help of the Purple-Eyed Elf, and in cooperation with Zhang Hua, she was able to kill a level 9 monster within five attacks. If you calculate it this way, there's hope that this wave of monsters can be defeated before dark!
[Live Broadcast Room Announcement: The Purple-Eyed Elf uses a skill, Zhang Minmin gains a strength bonus; the Purple-Eyed Elf uses a skill, Ma Xiaoxiao gains a new skill...]
——Fuck, look at Duoduo, are today’s primary school students monsters?
Unlike others, Duoduo was not surrounded by purple-eyed elves. When she was in the palace before, those red-eyed elves did not choose Duoduo. Both the audience and the tourists who were doing the mission together thought that she had bound to the purple-eyed elf in advance, but even so, her performance was too strong.
She took out a huge machete from somewhere, the handle of which was twice as long as her entire body. Without any protection, she jumped directly from the palace wall several meters high, waving the machete in her hand into an airtight circle. Wherever she passed, the monsters around her were ruthlessly strangled like they were in a meat grinder.
Since monsters would turn into black mist and then dissipate after death, wherever she went with the machete, the place would become dark, like a huge ball rolling into the black ocean, turning everything upside down, while she herself remained calm.
Zhang Minmin and others all took notice.
——Humph, what’s so great about that? She’s from the amusement park, so the amusement park must have given her some cheats!
——It doesn’t feel fair. No one else is using any cheats, but she is given such a big one. The big machete in her hand must be a very powerful prop!
-Don't be too sore in the front, okay? If I gave you the same prop, could you wield it as beautifully as her? Just this one move would take years of practice, okay? This kid really has a knack.
——It’s not just a question of whether he’s cheating or not. The way this kid jumped off the city wall, the way he got up and down...it was obvious that he had some martial arts skills.
I feel like Paradise is being too cunning. After this wave of publicity, anyone who still wants to rank up will have to do endless quests to curry favor with the Red-Eyed Pokémon? I'm guessing the Merit List rankings are going to see another major shakeup.
——Hahaha, even if it’s not for the rankings, I also want the red-eyed elf. Who doesn’t want a magical elf that can help you transform?
There were a total of sixty-six monsters in this wave. With everyone's concerted efforts, the mission was completed in less than half an hour.
When the last monster was defeated, countless salutes exploded in the City of Mischief. In the lively atmosphere, several beautiful tree spirits appeared and placed hand-woven wreaths on the heads of the six warriors. Other tree spirits sang and danced beside them, and flower petals and hand-woven elves flew all over the City of Mischief on the wind.
The live camera also moved upwards, and the audience followed the camera, watching the entire Prank City from a bird's-eye view for the first time, with comments of admiration filling the entire live broadcast room.
—Wow, there are lakes, thorn bushes, and gardens!
——There’s an interesting little building over there. I wonder what it looks like inside. I’d like to go and see it.
——The palace is bigger than I imagined. You can spend the whole day there just checking in and taking photos!
——Wow, there is actually an area planned for farming. Is it so full of life?
——There are not only fields, but also wells, stables, textile workshops, herbal medicine shops, blacksmith shops, bakeries... This place is simply the reality of my fantasy online game!
—It's not even midnight yet, is the exploration mission over already? Can't we open Prank City today? I want to visit the pond where Atelan lived... Oh my Atelan.
——Ahhhh I’m so anxious, why can’t the Prank City be opened today o(╥﹏╥)o, I really want to have beautiful big wings today!
——How can you be sure that the one in front is a beautiful big wing? What if it is a large fluttering moth?
