In the blink of an eye, several months passed and Zhou Zhou's new copy was designed.
The scale of this dungeon scene is very large, and it is impossible to conduct internal testing with only one or two people, so Zhou Zhou invited many people he knew.
Needless to say, Eddie, Qian Le, Shirley and Keli, as well as other players Zhou Zhou met while doing dungeons were also invited. Even classmates he knew from school were not spared.
Although dozens of people were curious about the new copy, they were more afraid. After all, none of the copies designed by Zhou Zhou before could be easily passed.
The new copy is called Amusement Park. It has a simple name, but people who know Zhou Zhou know that the simpler and better the name, the more difficult the copy will be.
Waiting for the new instance to open with mixed feelings, Shirley, taking advantage of her good relationship with Zhou Zhou, couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Zhou, can you give us a hint, at least let us know what's inside."
Zhou Zhou and Alvia stood together and said, "These are the facilities that you would find in a normal amusement park. You can play while looking for the exit."
It's as if you said nothing.
Keli also asked: "After we enter, will everyone do the task together, or will we be separated? It's just an internal test now, and we won't get points even if we are eliminated or win. Please give us a hint, otherwise I'll be a little nervous."
Others echoed.
Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, everyone will be teleported to different locations after entering, but everyone has a teammate, so don't worry."
"That's good. I'm just afraid of being alone."
“I hope my teammates can take me flying.”
Before others could continue asking about the situation in the copy, the copy had already been opened, and dozens of people present disappeared in an instant.
Zhou Zhou was teleported to the vicinity of the haunted house. He looked around, quickly locked the location, and then started running towards his destination.
Occasionally he would meet acquaintances on the road, but before they could say hello, Zhou Zhou would run away like a gust of wind, leaving the player who was still waving his hand standing there, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
It seemed like a Zhou Zhou flashed past.
Zhou Zhou has something important to do today.
Elvia was teleported to the vicinity of the pirate ship. He took out the map in his hand and examined it carefully. This was the map that Zhou Zhou had secretly given to him before he came in. The map was very simple, with only the approximate locations of various places drawn. However, there was one place on the map that was highlighted and circled in red, for fear that he would not be able to see it.
Is this considered cheating? Alvia raised an eyebrow and walked towards the marked location on the map.
Shirley found her teammates and was teleported to the carousel.
Who could have thought that I would be in a place like this as soon as I opened my eyes? I almost fell, but was pulled up by the person next to me.
"Thank you, who are you?" Shirley hugged the horse's head and turned to look at the boy sitting on the colorful pony next to her.
The boy had a strange expression on his face: "I'm Zhou Zhou's classmate, my name is Zhao Yijie."
So why would a boy like him sit on such a childish thing? And someone saw it.
"Hello, hello, I'm Zhou Zhou's friend, Shirley."
The two completely unfamiliar people looked at each other in silence. With the constantly spinning carousel and pleasant music, the atmosphere felt very awkward.
There seems to be no one else around, so are the two of them a team?
Zhao Yijie couldn't help but ask, "Should we get down from here first?"
Shirley looked serious and waved her hand: "Wait."
"What's wrong?"
"This should be your first time doing a copy of Zhou Zhou."
Zhao Yijie was confused: "This is my first time playing, is there any problem?"
Shirley said earnestly, as if she had experienced it before: "This is a copy designed by Zhou Zhou. We can't be careless. If we accidentally touch anything, we may be eliminated."
Zhao Yijie: "Is it so difficult? Then what should we do now?"
As a veteran player, Shirley felt it was her duty to lead the newcomers through the levels: "I'll try to see if there's any mechanism triggered after I go down first. If there's no problem, you can come down later."
"good."
The carousel didn't stop, so Shirley had to wait for the right moment to jump off, roll on the ground, squat steadily, and then look around vigilantly.
...nothing happened.
Zhao Yijie was still asking: "Can I come down now?"
"Oh, sure, sure." Shirley stood up and said calmly.
Zhao Yiji was on the inside. He nimbly stepped on the back of the wooden horse and jumped forward, standing steadily next to Shirley.
Shirley stared at him expressionlessly. Zhao Yijie saw some resentment in her eyes and touched his nose guiltily: "I am also a military academy student after all."
Ignoring this matter tacitly, the two originally wanted to leave here, but after walking for a long time they couldn't get out and kept circling around the carousel.
The experienced Shirley immediately guessed that they might have to trigger the plot here before they could leave, and the two immediately began to look for the trigger mechanism around.
"Found it." Zhao Yiji said, pointing at the carousel.
"Where, where?" Shirley still didn't see it.
"There's a line of words written on the side of that pink pony." Zhao Yiji pointed from a distance, and the pony that had already turned a circle turned in front of them again.
There were indeed words on it, but before Shirley could see them clearly, the little pink horse turned away. Shirley could only follow the wooden horse, tilting her head to read the words.
"No, I'm dizzy."
Zhao Yijie: "Didn't it say that two people need to sit on the merry-go-round and spin a hundred times to get the clue?"
"Can you see clearly?!"
"Isn't it obvious at a glance?"
Shirley: "...Well, cadets are awesome."
The two had just gotten off the carousel and were now about to get on again. Zhao Yijie was fine, it was easy for him to go up and down, but Shirley was not so lucky. She could only hold one and climb up.
I originally thought that a hundred laps would be easy and I could finish them slowly.
But after the two of them got on, the speed of the carousel became fast and slow.
When it's fast, people become afterimages, and the entire carousel will drift up and down.
"Yue~" Shirley felt like she was going to faint.
Zhao Yijie, who was sitting on the wooden horse behind Shirley, was anxious: "Sister, hold it in, don't vomit!"
Otherwise, at this speed, the vomit would easily float to me!
"I'm trying my best to endure it~"
After finally spinning a hundred times, Shirley got off the carousel dizzy with the help of Zhao Yiji.
"I held it in and didn't vomit." When her feet landed on solid ground, Shirley felt dizzy.
Zhao Yijie was fine, after all, the various trainings in school were much more difficult than this. He supported Shirley and looked around: "Sister, haven't we already gone around a hundred times? Why haven't the clues appeared yet? No, the words on the wooden horse have changed. If you don't ride according to the requirements, this time is invalid? What does that mean?"
Shirley froze: "What?"
After discussion, the two finally guessed that they might need to sit on the two small wooden horses that they first entered here and could not change positions at will.
Shirley: "...Let me take a break before going up, or I'm really going to vomit."
The two were still riding the carousel here, and Keli on the other side was about to cry. Who would have thought that his teammate would be a resentful woman!
Keli also became an intermediate player not long ago, but he has not designed a new copy yet.
He had previously learned from Zhou Zhou that this strange-looking girl was also a real-life player and Zhou Zhou's friend, but he had heard about her battle records from Qian Le and Eddie. Now that he had to challenge a terrifying real-life NPC, he felt uneasy.
"Hello, I'm Keli."
Molan was also invited by Zhou Zhou to participate in the internal test. As the number of intermediate players gradually increased, more and more players knew her. Some players even invited her to challenge levels together or let her be the NPC of their own dungeon.
"Hey, I've heard of you." Looking at Keli with dark and lifeless eyes, Molan tried to give a friendly smile.
Keli: Oh my god, I’m even more scared. Is she really a teammate? Why does it feel like he's here to seek revenge?
Duan Yu, who was standing in front of the haunted house, looked at the man next to him in confusion: "Are you a player too?"
The man with a ferocious face and scars all over his body seemed to seldom meet strangers. He was a little shy when he heard this: "I'm Locke."
The sturdy and scarred body looked like someone who was not easy to mess with, but the man's slightly shy expression ruined his image. Duan Yu, on the other hand, raised his chin and said in a contemptuous tone: "Since you are also Zhou Zhou's friend, I won't say anything. Just follow me and I will take you through the customs together."
Locke looked up at the scary-looking molds outside the haunted house, then looked at Duan Yu and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then followed him into the haunted house.
After a while, the sounds of wolves crying and ghosts howling were heard from the haunted house.
“Ghost!!!”
Duan Yu was almost strangled by the collar, "Fuck, let me go, you are scared like this by a dummy, it's really embarrassing for a man."
"Wuwuwu~ I don't want it." The tall man who tried hard to hide himself behind Duan Yu sobbed and shook his head, looking extremely scared.
Duan Yu was furious. He had no habit of getting close to men. Of course, if it was Zhou Zhou, he would definitely hug him and coax him, but the man behind him now was a man who was taller, stronger, more timid, and most importantly, ugly.
"open!"
Being able to rank among the top in the mecha department, Duan Yu is also very strong. He pushed the man behind him hard, and Locke was "weakly" pushed to the ground.
Something rolled to Duan Yu's feet.
The light in the haunted house was not good. Duan Yu lowered his head to carefully identify it. There was an ugly face crying and embarrassed at his feet. Realizing that Duan Yu was looking at him, Locke tried to turn his head so that his face was facing Duan Yu, and cried to him: "How scary."
Duan Yu's scalp went numb, a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and all the hairs on his body stood up in an instant.
"grass!!!"
The two players at each location were trying to clear the level, while Elvia traveled through the amusement park alone and finally arrived at her destination.
There was silence all around. Alvia looked up at the huge silver Ferris wheel and slowly walked forward.
The wheel turns slower and slower until it stops.
The door of the cockpit at the bottom opened automatically, and Zhou Zhou inside was waving happily.
Alvia walked in, and then the Ferris wheel started again and slowly turned.
Starting from the bottom of the Ferris wheel, lights lit up one by one, and the entire Ferris wheel went from dim to dazzling. The silvery-white halo covered it with a layer of holy glory, beautiful and sacred.
The inside of the cabin was also illuminated by a silver halo. Zhou Zhou, who was standing in the center of the cabin, was covered with a layer of light, and even the expression on his face became softer.
"I came here alone to ride the Ferris wheel before. Although it felt good, I was alone at that time, and I was terrified and afraid of the unknown world. But now, I finally waited for you."
Zhou Zhou took out a silver ring. The style of the ring was exactly the same as the mecha ring given as a reward in reality.
"You gave me a ring in the real world. Are you willing to accept this ring in the virtual world now?"
Alvia stood in front of Zhou Zhou, and almost the next moment, he stretched out his hand: "I do."
Zhou Zhou carefully put the ring on Alvia's finger.
At this time, the cabin they were riding in had reached the highest point, and suddenly a bright and beautiful firework lit up in the sky. The huge and beautiful firework illuminated the entire sky, illuminating Zhou Zhou and Elvia's faces with the same smile, and the silver ring.
Alvia stroked Zhou Zhou's hair and said, "I originally wanted to put the ring with the mecha on it on you myself, but I thought that as your abilities improve in the future, you will have to continue to change mechas, and the ring will also need to be changed, so I didn't take action. As a result, you got it first."
"Are you happy? Do you like it?" Zhou Zhou grabbed the ring on his middle finger, as if he would pull the ring off if he didn't answer correctly.
Alvia suppressed her laughter and said, "I like it."
The fireworks outside the window continued, one after another. The two of them looked out the window together, quietly enjoying the scenery outside.
Suddenly, a tiny person squeezed in among them, and Zeus stood on tiptoe and leaned on the window, watching the fireworks with them.
Zhou Zhou didn't say anything, but just smiled and touched Zeus' head, while Elvia took Zeus aside.
Zeus rolled his eyes at him, but did not deliberately make trouble at this moment. Instead, he continued to look out through the window.
The Ferris wheel spun round and round, and the three people enjoyed the warm and beautiful moment and the gorgeous fireworks outside the window.
Alvia suddenly said, "The Ferris wheel is getting faster and faster."
The Ferris wheel started to rotate slowly and steadily at the beginning, then the speed got faster and faster, until now it was very fast, and the huge wheel had formed a silver-white halo.
Zhou Zhou blinked and said, "We came here as players, and each entertainment facility is a level. We have to get out, otherwise the space in the cabin will become smaller and smaller until we all become paper people."
Alvia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Well, it seems we have to continue to break through."
Zhou Zhou and Elvia were preparing to jump out of the window of the Ferris wheel, while players in other places were also trying to pass the level. Screams and exclamations, as well as voices calling for teammates, could be heard from the entire amusement park from time to time. It sounded very lively.
The 'nightmare city' continues...
