Chapter 99: City of Mischief: Fairy Tale
The first day of the opening of Mischief City was a huge success. Due to the large amount of feedback from tourists, the visitor load of Mischief City was increased from 5,000 to 10,000. However, many tourists still said that they bought tickets to enter the park but could not enter Mischief City. In view of the surge in the number of tourists during the National Day holiday, Fantasy Park had to extend the opening hours of Mischief City from 7 am to 11 pm.
But even so, it still cannot meet the needs of tourists.
A city in the north.
As a high school senior, He Mingming had very little free time. She spent six of the seven days of National Day holiday studying, leaving only the last day for herself. She knew her dream school in the south was too far from home, and the admission requirements were high. To get in, she needed excellent grades; otherwise, her parents wouldn't allow her to go so far.
Therefore, He Mingming has been working very hard. He has not turned on his mobile phone for a month since school started in September.
After waiting for so long, she finally got the day off. Early in the morning, He Mingming turned on her phone. In an instant, her mailbox was filled with messages, including updates from bloggers she followed, messages from netizens she followed in the super topic, and various small groups related to Fantasy Park. If she glanced at any one of them, she would see over 99 new messages.
He Mingming wasn't surprised by this; after all, it had already been a month! She'd heard that Fantasy Park had just opened a new attraction called Prank City, so most of the news was normal. But He Mingming hadn't anticipated the overwhelming amount of information about Prank City that flooded her the moment she opened the Fantasy Park chatroom. Prank City's popularity surpassed all of Fantasy Park's previous projects.
The Super Topic Square is full of tourists posting pictures and videos. Every minute and every second, many new posts will pop up with a casual refresh. Moreover, the popularity of the Fantasy Park Super Topic has been at the top for seven consecutive days, and even the promotion of the new movie of the top star cannot cover it.
He Mingming didn't know what was so fun about the City of Pranks or what the background story was. As soon as he entered, he was shocked by the fairy tale or dreamy pictures and videos. He thought he had entered the wrong topic and came to the role-playing topic square.
Some have wings on their backs, some are covered with fruit shells, some have turned into a big mushroom, and some have their lower bodies turned into flowers and plants... The key is that if you look closely, you will find that the clothes these people are wearing are very sophisticated. Although they have cartoon-like designs, the degree of realism is as high as 80%.
He Mingming was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that the red-eyed elves in the City of Mischief possessed the magic of transformation, and the people who posted the pictures were not cosplaying animals, plants, or food... but were transformed into these by the red-eyed elves. Some of them had wings on their backs and could even fly!
Even though the Fantasy Park had created countless miracles before, He Mingming still felt as if she was in a dream. She clicked on a post that showed the wings behind her back.
The original poster: Ahhhh, I won the prize. I brushed for seven days in a row and finally got big wings. Although they are gray, I am satisfied. Attached picture: A boy with gray wings growing out of his back flaps his wings.
——I was lucky enough to get big wings after seven consecutive days of playing. I also went to the City of Pranks every day, but I have only been able to transform three times so far, and I could only run on the ground. The rest of the time I could only drool at other people's wings in the square.
Although Prank City is only 300 acres, it's still quite spacious, with all sorts of high-rise buildings, small villas, garden plazas, and more. I feel like it could easily accommodate even more people. Although the opening hours have been extended, each visitor only has four or five hours to explore. Once the time is up, they're reminded to leave, which doesn't make for a very enjoyable experience.
——It’s good enough to have fun there, but some people have never been to the Fantasy Park. I’m talking about me-_-||.
He Mingming felt a pang in her heart when she saw this comment. She scrolled down eagerly, and after finishing the comments, she quickly went to the blogger she followed and saw a video that Xiao Zhou, whom she followed, had pinned two days ago.
"Hello everyone, today Xiao Zhou will continue to take you on a tour of the City of Pranks in Fantasyland... Through the continuous efforts of our visitors, Fantasyland has finally increased the number of visitors allowed in and its opening hours. The City of Pranks was previously open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a maximum of 5,000 visitors allowed in at any one time. With two batches, morning and afternoon, only 10,000 visitors could enter the city each day. Now, the City of Pranks is open in three phases: 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Each batch can accommodate 10,000 people, and the morning and afternoon batches each last five hours. The third batch has a four-hour visit."
"But don't worry, everyone. Although the third group of tourists has one less hour, they definitely won't lose out in terms of experience. This is because the third group of tourists can go to the palace to watch the special show of the City of Pranks - the Red-Eyed Elves' Dinner. The dinner is hosted by our cute and charming King Thorn. During this one-hour dinner, the red-eyed elves will not only eat and chat, but also dance and sing together and share their experiences of pranking tourists. Yes, you heard it right, they really will share their experiences with each other. Xiao Zhou himself attended three dinners, and none of them were repeated. Moreover, the time, place, people and events they mentioned when sharing their experiences can all be found in the prototypes during the day. This is amazing, which shows that the elves during the day are really working hard for us overly enthusiastic tourists!"
"Tourists who can't enter the City of Mischief at night don't have to worry. The Red-Eyed Elf's dinner video will be played simultaneously in the hot springs and then uploaded to the video platform the next day."
The comments were all "hahahaha" at this point, and some tourists who had attended the dinner claimed it was real and had even recorded it. He Mingming clicked on the profile picture in the comment and found the most popular video pinned to the top of his profile. The title was: "The Red-Eyed Elf Said Bad Things About Me at the Dinner, and I Recorded It." The video lived up to the title: cute and hilarious. He Mingming couldn't help but laugh at the fact that the Elf in question, after being recorded saying bad things by tourists, still had a cocky, arrogant attitude.
After watching the forwarded video, she went back to watch Xiao Zhou's video.
"If you haven't caught a Red-Eyed Pokémon in the City of Mischief for two hours, don't be discouraged. Tell the staff and, after verifying your situation, they'll give you a handful of snacks. Bringing these snacks over will attract the Red-Eyed Pokémon to help you transform. As for the Red-Eyed Pokémon playing tricks on you, the park has removed the risk of them tripping you. Don't worry about embarrassing yourself like you would during the Exploration quests. Just be careful when passing under trees or in gardens; the Red-Eyed Pokémon might get you into trouble by throwing leaves."
In the footage, Xiao Zhou walked into the City of Mischief while speaking. "Everyone was worried about whether it would be crowded with 10,000 visitors at once. Now Xiao Zhou's video proves it's not crowded at all. I specifically asked the staff about this, and they said the park director initially only allowed 5,000 people in because visitors needed an open space to exercise while chasing the red-eyed Pokémon and transforming. But after a few days of experimenting, the visitors have spontaneously established a certain order, and the park staff have done an excellent job of maintaining order... Now the square is the designated test flight area."
The camera moves upwards, and several tourists who have achieved the flying transformation are excitedly practicing in the square. Although they fly all over the place, it can be seen that they are very happy. The onlookers are also very happy, and laughter can be heard from time to time.
"Then there are streets with groceries, hotels, and shops."
The camera followed Xiao Zhou to the street next to the square, and He Mingming's eyes lit up.
The street is about ten meters wide, with open shops on both sides for tourists to relax. Except for the modern lounge chairs and tables inside, the rest of the architectural style is consistent with the entire city.
But the point is not this, the point is the weird and cute tourists wandering on this street.
Some people turned into giant cups of pearl milk tea, the pearls in their "belly" swaying with every step; some turned into giant mushrooms, squatting motionless on street corners, pretending to be scenery, and suddenly jumping up to scare people when someone passed by; some turned into centaurs, carrying their wives and children on their backs and ostentatiously walking through the streets; some turned into balloons, shouting "Help, I'm afraid of heights, I don't want to float up into the sky..."
Both the barrage and He Mingming couldn't stop laughing.
He Mingming discovered that the transformation's appearance and performance varied from person to person. Some people were like wearing a very realistic doll costume, yet it was so light that it didn't affect their movements at all. This was common with stuffed animals, where only a human face appeared on the animal's head, such as rabbits, cats, and mice...
Some people still have human form, but with extra features like butterfly wings, dragonfly wings, cat tails, or fox tails growing out of their backs. Some people have half their body transformed while the other half remains the same, like the mother and daughter who passed through Xiao Zhou's camera. Their lower bodies are bee-shaped, and their plump bee butts wiggle as they walk. It's so adorable...
There are also people like the balloon guy just now, whose facial features turned into a few simple lines. If the balloon hadn't suddenly shouted loudly, no one would have noticed that there was a guy who had turned into a balloon until he floated into the sky.
——Walking into this street is like walking into a real fairy tale world. Everyone can become weird, but so happy. You can tell it must be fun just by looking at their smiling faces!
——Yes, and they are not ordinary costumes and accessories. The ones with wings can really fly, and the ones with animal tails can really be controlled and swung... That must be a wonderful feeling.
——Hahaha, Xiao Zhou, did you see that? There is a “chair” behind you. When you are tired, you stop to rest, but another tourist sits on it. Hahaha.
——Ahhh, I really want to go to the Fantasy Park, I really want to experience it. If I can't go to the Fantasy Park in this life, if I haven't entered the City of Prank once, I will never rest in peace!
He Mingming nodded frantically. Yes, yes, that was her idea too. If she didn’t go to the Fantasy Park and transform herself in the City of Prank once in her life, she would never be able to rest in peace!
