Chapter 98: City of Mischief: White Cloud
Only then did He Liqing realize that her previous complaints and speculations about Fantasy Park were too arrogant. With her limited knowledge, she actually blamed others for false advertising. Now that she thinks about it, she is really a frog in a well.
The tourists around were discussing how to acquire the ability to fly, and they mentioned things like "pranks" and "skills". He Liqing didn't understand anything and wanted to ask someone, but the passers-by were more excited and anxious than each other, so He Liqing didn't feel comfortable bothering them.
At this time, several tourists had also gained the ability to fly, and they went up to the platform with wings of various shapes on their backs. Many tourists were taking photos and videos nearby, but more tourists had dispersed, obviously looking for ways to gain the ability to fly.
Seeing her daughter looking at them eagerly, He Liqing quickly found a staff member to ask.
Although the Fantasy Park has only been open for three months, it is already very famous. This was the first time this staff member had encountered a tourist who had entered the City of Pranks without knowing anything about it, so he immediately began to explain patiently and proudly.
Holograms, tree spirits, dwarves, and a fantasy haunted house that feels like traveling through time and space...
It turns out that Fantasyland is a high-tech exhibition hall endorsed by the state...
He Liqing was indescribably shocked. She realized how much she had missed. If it weren't for all the things that were weighing her down, if her life had been peaceful and smooth, she might have taken her daughter to the park a month or two ago, and she wouldn't have been so self-righteously "correcting" her daughter's ideas over and over again.
He Liqing's regret only lasted for a moment. In order to make up for her daughter, she immediately took her to catch the red-eyed elf.
"That aunt just said that the garden ahead has the most red-eyed elves. Let's quickly pick one and ask it to conjure wings for us, okay?"
He Xiaoxiao was very excited, her eyes lit up.
The mother and daughter quickly entered the garden. The garden of the City of Pranks was not small, with grass, flowers, trees, lakes and fountains. At a glance, there were already many tourists running around laughing. If you look closely, you will find that they are chasing those palm-sized elves flying in the air, exactly the same as what you see in the live broadcast.
The mother and daughter formulated a strategy and carefully selected a little elf that was resting on a flower. They pounced on it from two directions respectively, trying to catch the red-eyed elf from the front and back. Unfortunately, the red-eyed elf reacted very quickly. Not only did it dodge nimbly, it also raised its thorn fork and swept it at them, turning the mother and daughter into two big clown faces. They were stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud at the same time.
After that, they tried several times, but not only did they fail, they were also teased by the red-eyed elves from time to time. Either the tissues in their hands turned into ugly big bugs, or leaves suddenly fell from above their heads and covered them. When they chased after them, the red-eyed elves had disappeared.
At first, He Liqing was worried that her daughter would be upset, but she found that her daughter was not unhappy at all. Instead, she giggled, dusted off the leaves and continued to chase the red-eyed elf. Her worries were unconsciously put to rest.
"It seems that it is really difficult to catch the red-eyed elf with bare hands." The mother and daughter had no choice but to walk out of the garden and go to the fantasy grocery store to buy a net bag that was said to have a success rate of nearly 50%. After buying the net bag, they went to the fantasy store next door to buy drinks.
At first, He Liqing thought that such a large theme park had impeccable service and technology, and was even technologically ahead of the world. Such a good place must have high prices. But after buying things, she unexpectedly discovered that the things were not expensive.
The well-made net bag costs ten yuan each, and the drink is a brand I have never seen before, but it tastes surprisingly good. A 300ml bottle costs five yuan, which is also at a normal level.
After buying a net bag and drinking some drinks, the mother and daughter set out again. Perhaps because of the accumulated experience from previous times, or perhaps because they were particularly lucky this time, they actually caught an elf with one net bag.
Seeing the little elves fluttering around in the net bag, He Liqing felt excited and thrilled, not only for her daughter, but also for herself. Who hasn't dreamed about elves and flying when they were a child?
She squatted down in the garden and placed the net bag in front of her daughter, and they both stared at the elf inside with wide eyes.
Elves look similar to humans, with a head, two hands, two feet, two eyes, a nose and a mouth.
But it has a big head, a small nose, red eyes and mouth, and it holds a thorn fork in its hand, looking fierce and aggressive. It can even talk!
"I'm warning you, I'm a noble red-eyed elf. If you don't let me go, you'll regret it."
He Liqing, who had already learned the process from the staff, was very interested. "Then how are you going to make us regret it?"
He Xiaoxiao said in a baby voice, "Are you going to transform for us? Okay, okay, hurry up!"
Red-Eyed Elf: ...
The red-eyed elf raised his thorn fork at them angrily and shouted, "Prank!"
With two puffs, the net bag fell to the ground. He Liqing couldn't control her body and fell down. Then she found that she and her daughter had turned into bees!
The lower body and legs have changed, only the upper body still looks like a human. I feel like there is something extra on the back. When I turn my head, I see that it is the small wings of a bee. And looking at the round shape of the lower body, it seems to be a famous cute creature in nature: a bumblebee!
Just little bumblebees the size of an adult human.
The mother and daughter looked at each other. This feeling was really fresh and happy.
After the transformation, it was not very convenient for them to move. The mother and daughter slowly moved to the edge of the lake and looked at their current appearance.
He Liqing was initially worried that the realism might be too high, making it seem a bit creepy. But after carefully comparing her entire body against the lake's surface, she realized the transformation was more cartoonish, like wearing a perfectly fitted, expensive doll costume. The only realism was in the wings, which didn't feel insect-like at all. He Liqing breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the park had been very thoughtful in this regard. He Xiaoxiao was already happily spinning around on the ground.
He Liqing quickly took out her cell phone and took a few selfies with her daughter.
Their changes have long attracted the attention of tourists around them. Many people surrounded them to take photos and videos. He Liqing was very tolerant of this, especially after she found that her daughter did not mind, but instead happily posed in various poses for photos, she felt more relaxed and happy.
"Wow, it can actually turn into a bee. This must be a bumblebee! So cute!"
"Children are even cuter, and the tentacles sticking out of their hair move!"
"What good luck! I ran for a long time but didn't catch a single red-eyed Pokémon."
Some kind tourists, seeing that they were not very mobile, asked the staff to push a cart for them and took them to the square.
He Liqing hugged her daughter and thanked her repeatedly. The female tourist smiled and said, "It's okay. Can you take a few photos with me?"
He Liqing readily agreed, and when she arrived at the square, the flight instructor was still there.
The gorgeous big wings behind the other person made her unable to help but take a few more glances.
After Chi Xiaozhen finished teaching a few lucky tourists how to fly, she saw He Liqing and her daughter. The gentle smile on her face froze for a moment, "Ah, it's a bumblebee! Bumblebees are also a kind of insect!"
The second half of her sentence was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
The girl in front of her was so beautiful that even her stiff smile looked extremely eye-catching. He Liqing stared at her for two seconds, then proudly hugged her daughter in her arms, "Yes, it's a bumblebee. My little one loves bumblebees too."
He Xiaoxiao giggled.
Chi Xiaozhen carefully held the hands of the two, one large and one small, and brought them to the platform to teach them flying techniques. "First, learn to flap your wings. Use force. Think of your wings as a bone in your body, another pair of arms... Yes, that's it, great! After you fly, you can try gliding, but you have to go to a place with fewer people... The transformation effect only lasts for about three hours. You are beginners, so you can only fly for two hours. After two hours, don't fly too high. The transformation effect will disappear and you will fall. If you get too high and can't get down, don't worry. Call customer service. It doesn't matter if your phone is out of battery. Just wait there for a while. Someone will come to you in ten minutes..."
Under the instruction and guidance of Chi Xiaozhen, He Liqing and her daughter successfully flew up. Although they could only fly to a maximum of three meters due to the height limit, if they climbed to a high place and took off, the height could be increased by two meters.
Flying is a dream that is simply engraved in human genes. The feeling of flapping your wings and flying is completely different from that of riding an airplane or hang gliding. It should be said that the latter is far from comparable. He Liqing's heart was pounding with emotion. After all, this feeling of flying in the wind was something she had only experienced in her dreams in the past.
Holding hands, the mother and daughter flew in the air together, overlooking the city of mischief.
They saw people coming and going on the ground, some holding up their phones to take pictures of them, some were chasing red-eyed elves, and some had transformed into strange things and were jumping around on the ground... They saw people who had also gained the flying transformation, some had half of their bodies transformed into insects like them, some only had a pair of wings growing on their backs, some flew very freely and unrestrainedly, and many people gathered around to take pictures and record videos, and some flew stumbling and falling, which made everyone laugh.
At first, He Liqing and her daughter stumbled around and almost bumped into others, but after getting used to the situation, they let go and watched their daughter fly happily in the air.
They set out from the square, passed through the garden, the thorn bush, the rich area, and finally arrived at the palace. They planned to fly in from a window to take a look, but they hit a cloud on the way. The mother and daughter huddled together and almost fell down.
"Oh, I'm sorry, are you okay?" The cloud turned around, revealing a human face. It turned out to be a tourist who was turned into a cloud.
He Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Uncle, you are so awesome."
The cloud coughed twice. "I'm only in my twenties, and I call you brother. I've caught several Pokémons today, begging each one. Finally, one agreed to give me the ability to fly. I asked for a white one, thinking it would give me big white feather wings, but it turned me into a cloud. I'm so worried now. The cloud can't land. I've been floating here for two hours now, and I don't have my phone with me. The staff haven't noticed me, and I'm too embarrassed to call for help. Could you please help me find a staff member?"
He Liqing and her daughter burst into laughter.
This little episode made the trip even more interesting. To thank the mother and daughter for their help, the young man acted as a tour guide, showing them around the entire City of Pranks, taking them to visit the Atalan pool, and then at noon, he took them to the hot springs...
The mother and daughter had a fulfilling and dreamy day today. At night, lying in the room of the hot spring resort, He Xiaoxiao was still talking excitedly, "Mom, mom, we are going to play again tomorrow. Tomorrow I want to soak in the hot spring for a while longer, play with Fluffy, eat at the dwarf restaurant, and go to the Prank City again. I had such a great time flying today!"
He Liqing was also happy, "Okay, how about we spend seven days here during the National Day holiday?"
He Xiaoxiao nodded happily and got up to write down what happened today in her diary. He Liqing took a look and found that most of the words in the diary were pinyin, and some were spelled incorrectly. She laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up.
Later, it was really late, and He Liqing coaxed her to sleep. She heard her daughter whisper with her eyes closed: "Mom, I don't want the dad at home. I want Brother Baiyun to be my dad. Atalan can also be my dad..."
After hearing this, He Liqing's eyes became slightly moist.
