The roller coaster soars into the sky, then sharply plummets, and then continues on countless spiral tracks, going so fast that it becomes a shadow. The players waiting below could only hear continuous shouting, and when they looked in the direction of the sound, the roller coaster had long disappeared.
Zhou Zhou squinted his eyes and held the doll pendants in his hands. Although all the dolls were tied firmly to Zhou Zhou with ropes on their heads, he was always afraid that one of them would accidentally fall off.
On the roller coaster, amidst the screams of a group of men and women, there were also the screams of many children. If the others had not been so busy taking care of themselves, they would have noticed that although there were clearly no children among them, they could hear a group of children screaming.
The children possessed their souls on dolls and asked Zhou Zhou to take them to the amusement park. They didn't expect the first ride to be so exciting. They could see the surrounding scenery and feel the suffocating feeling of the ups and downs of the roller coaster. Many of the timid ones lay on Zhou Zhou and just closed their eyes and screamed.
The roller coaster slowed down on the last stretch and when it slowly returned to its original position, the riders on the ride were gasping for breath in fear, their breath trembling.
Eddie and Qian Le, who had threatened each other and said they were not afraid, both looked pale and had dull eyes. Until the roller coaster stopped, their souls seemed to be left far away on the track and did not return, sitting there motionless for a long time.
The little dolls all collapsed and hung quietly around Zhou without making any movement.
Only Zhou Zhou took the lead in unbuckling his seat belt. Looking around, they both realized something was wrong.
"Qianle? Eddie? Are you guys okay?"
Eddie looked at Zhou Zhou with a dull look: "Huh?"
Only then did Zhou Zhou realize that the roller coaster ride seemed a little too exciting for them. He looked around and found that everyone else had the same expression, only he looked calm and was ready to go down.
Oh no, his behavior is different from everyone else’s and he will be discovered to be abnormal!
Zhou Zhou immediately sat back, leaning his head against the seat, his brows slightly furrowed, looking as if he was also feeling uncomfortable. Eddie and Qian Le hadn't come back to their senses yet, so they naturally didn't notice Zhou Zhou's little move.
Alvia walked slowly over with three glasses of lemonade. Looking at the pale-faced Eddie and Qian Le, she immediately felt that the two were slacking off at school.
Because of suspicion of Zhou Zhou's intentions, all the people who had contact with him were investigated. Although Eddie and Qian Le don't look very impressive, one of them is from the First Military University and the other is from the Imperial Comprehensive University, both of which are among the best schools in the empire.
Although the roller coaster in the amusement park was very fast, it was only of medium difficulty for the cadets. It was a bit...
Eddie and Qian Le didn't expect that because they rode a roller coaster, the school's physical training suddenly doubled after they returned to school, and countless new trainings were added. Not knowing the reason, they could only curse the school with tears in their eyes.
Moving her gaze to Zhou Zhou's face, Elvia was silent for a few seconds. Seeing him lying limply on the chair, she handed him a glass of lemonade.
"Thank you." Zhou Zhou half raised his head, looked at the water handed to him by the other party, and couldn't help but smiled widely. Then he remembered that he was "very weak", and his expression quickly restrained a little.
Zhou Zhou slowly reached out his hand to take the lemonade, lowered his eyes and took a few sips. It tasted cool, sour and sweet, and was very delicious.
At this time, Eddie finally came back to his senses. He was still a little dazed when he looked at Elvia standing next to him, until a glass of lemonade was handed to him, and he subconsciously took it.
Other people on the roller coaster also got off one after another. Zhou Zhou held the doll in one hand and drank lemonade in the other. Qian Le was still a little dizzy after he came to his senses. Seeing that everyone else had gotten off, he also walked down holding the handrail next to him, his legs still shaking.
"Why do I feel a little nauseous? I'm not going to vomit." He said with trembling lips.
Eddie has recovered and handed Qian Le the other glass of lemonade that El had stuffed for him: "Don't worry, you can't vomit in the holographic game no matter how uncomfortable you are."
Holographic equipment has long been used in universities, and they also use it during training. Even if they are beaten to the point of vomiting blood, or feeling dizzy, nauseous and want to vomit, it is just a natural reaction of the body and will not actually manifest itself in reality.
It’s like you feel like you are injured or bleeding in the game, but in reality your body is fine and there is nothing unusual. Similarly, if you feel like vomiting in the game, you can't vomit at all. No matter how realistic the game is, and how well it can project the original body's reactions, if it projects vomiting... that would be too much.
After drinking the lemon water, he slowly recovered and his face looked no longer so ugly. Qian Le thanked Alvia awkwardly. He had always been on guard against Al, but he didn't expect that she would buy him water.
Eddie stood next to Qian Le and asked, "Didn't you say the coaster is very famous? But this is too exciting."
Qian Le sighed and said with a slightly vicissitudes of life: "I heard that he is indeed very famous, but I didn't expect that this fame does not refer to fun, but..." Thinking of the experience just now, he felt bad and started to feel dizzy again.
After quickly drinking some water, Qian Le looked at the others and said, "How about we find something less exciting to take a break?"
The three people who were full of life just now walked out listlessly. Although Zhou Zhou was in good condition, he kept his head down and held the little doll in his hand. Qian Le and Eddie thought he was feeling unwell too.
In fact, Zhou Zhou is very anxious now. After the children got off the roller coaster, they were all quiet. Before, they would move secretly or hit each other, but now none of them moved.
Could it be that he was also scared like Qian Le Eddie?
Zhou Zhou pursed his lips and couldn't help feeling a little regretful. He shouldn't have played this and scared the kids again.
Suddenly, the rabbit in his hand moved, and Zhou Zhou hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin, are you okay?"
The rabbit Xiao Jin moved his mouth slightly: "It's okay, I just felt a little dizzy."
"Where are the other kids? Are they okay?"
"That's fine."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you guys to play this."
The little rabbit raised its head and looked at Zhou Zhou with its pair of bright black eyes: "I like playing, I want to play this again when I come down."
Zhou Zhou was immediately happy: "Okay, I'll bring you here to play next time."
The other children seemed to have recovered as well. They moved their hands and feet and looked very lively. When others looked at them, they stopped immediately. When no one was paying attention, they started moving around again, showing great skill.
For a moment, the few of them didn't know where to go next, and finally they took a very slow sightseeing bus and drove around the amusement park.
The seats in the sightseeing bus were all arranged one right side up and one wrong side down. Eddie pushed Qian Le to sit in the same row, and the row opposite them was occupied by Alvia and Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou had never seen many things in the amusement park before. He looked at the scenery outside with curiosity and amazement, leaving the other three people speechless.
Qian Le had just accepted the lemonade bought by Elvia and was still feeling a little awkward. Eddie knew that Elvia didn't want to talk to them now, but Zhou Zhou was lying on the side looking at the scenery, so he had to find some topic to liven up the atmosphere.
"Speaking of which, the forum will be open tonight. Do you think there will be dungeon strategies in it?"
Qian Le: "I don't think so. Besides, the dungeons are all random nowadays. Even if there is a guide, it may not be useful."
When Zhou Zhou heard the word "forum", he immediately turned his attention back and looked at Eddie and Qian Le opposite him, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Eddie asked.
"Can I ask anything on the forum? Can I remain anonymous?" Zhou Zhou wanted to know the common sense of the outside world to ensure that he would not be exposed, but he was not sure whether asking questions on the forum would expose himself.
"You can probably ask anything, but anonymously... Nightmare City has not been open for long, and it is said that many features will be released gradually in the later stages. Whether the forum will be anonymous or not will only be known after it is released." Eddie said very conservatively.
Qian Le looked at Eddie in shock. "What's the point of playing a forum if it's not anonymous? Have you ever seen a forum that puts users' real names on it? Only when you are anonymous can you speak freely. Zhou Zhou, don't listen to him. It must be anonymous."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhou finally felt relieved.
Then he asked them what time in the evening they could watch it, where they could watch it, etc. Eddie knew more about this and explained it to him carefully.
Qian Le had only played one copy, so he didn't know as much as Eddie, but he had also been on various forums and could answer Zhou Zhou's questions.
Only Elvia was sitting aside, watching the three people chatting with cold eyes. His gaze moved from Zhou Zhou's curious eyes to his fair and rosy face, his eyes were dark and unclear.
After getting a lot of information from Qian Le and Eddie, Zhou Zhou finally felt relieved. From now on, he can ask questions about things other than games on the forum and no longer be afraid of being asked questions that he can't answer.
Zhou Zhou felt embarrassed when he found Al sitting alone next to him without saying a word. He was listening so intently that he actually forgot about Al. He had come out to express his apology to Al, but he ended up leaving him alone.
"Al, is there any other place you want to go?" Zhou Zhou asked.
Alvia shook her head.
Zhou Zhou looked at the other two again: "What about you guys?"
Qian Le shook his head vigorously. Although there were many famous places in the amusement park, he knew from being there that these famous places were not necessarily fun, so forget it.
Eddie originally wanted to play, but then he thought that Al and Zhou Zhou were supposed to go out together, and they ruined the game. It would be a bit too much to continue playing.
"Why don't we just sit here and chat?" Eddie said. It’s okay to be a little excessive, he can go even further.
"Zhou Zhou, can I ask you a personal question?" Eddie said with a smile.
Personal question? Zhou Zhou immediately became alert: "What's the problem?"
"Do you have someone you like?"
The other two people immediately looked at Eddie, but Eddie pretended not to know and waited for Zhou Zhou's answer.
Someone you like? Zhou Zhou looked up at the people present and nodded shyly.
Qian Le instantly thought of Zhou Zhou's ex, the bastard who made him alone and sad under the Ferris wheel. To be honest, he had suspected that the man was Al before, but looking at Zhou Zhou's attitude towards him, it didn't seem like it.
"Would you mind telling us who it is?"
"It's Qian Le..."
Qian Le's heart skipped a beat and his mind went blank. He really didn't expect that the person Zhou Zhou liked was him. Then last time, when he said he liked me in the copy, was it true?
Eddie was so surprised that his eyes raised. He didn't expect it to be Qian Le. Obviously, Al should be the best in all aspects. If he messed up, Al wouldn't beat him.
Alvia glanced at Qian Le, her ice-blue eyes were not as pure as usual, but had a hint of darkness. Qian Le was still immersed in thinking about when Zhou Zhou fell in love with him and whether he should respond now, and he didn't notice that Al was looking at him at all.
"Eddie, Shirley, Cole..."
After Zhou Zhou took a deep breath, he told everyone he knew in the game, and everyone looked at him speechlessly.
Qian Le looked at Zhou Zhou disappointedly. This is how much he liked him.
Eddie didn't know what to say for a moment. Looking at Qian Le, who looked ecstatic and then lost and lowered his eyes, he always felt guilty. Was his question too careless?
"Then let me ask again, if you were to fall in love with the three people here, who would you choose?" This time the scope is narrow enough and clear enough, right?
Just as Zhou Zhou was about to say the names of the three of them, he caught a quick glance and noticed that Al was staring at him. He immediately remembered that when he confessed his feelings to Al before, Al not only refused but also forbade him to have a relationship.
Anyway, what Eddie is talking about now is if, so as long as Al is not mentioned, it shouldn't matter.
"I choose you..." and Qian Le.
Before Zhou Zhou finished speaking, Al suddenly interrupted: "We're here."
Where are you? Several people immediately turned around and looked outside, and found that they had reached the exit of the amusement park.
...Didn’t you say we should take a few laps around the amusement park first? How come it came out so soon?
When Eddie saw Zhou Zhou looking at him intently with his amber eyes and saying, "I choose you," his heart almost stopped.
He really didn't mean that. He was just an ordinary gossip lover who wanted to see couples being sweet and chasing their wives in the crematorium, but why did the fire burn himself?
How could he possibly date Zhou Zhou? Even though he was good-looking, had an outstanding temperament, a good personality, was very reliable and good at playing games, and was impeccable with his companions, but he... but he...
Eddie suddenly frowned and started thinking. Yes, why couldn't he date Zhou Zhou? Al had not been successful, and Zhou Zhou didn't have a partner now, so he couldn't be considered taking advantage of the situation.
But for some reason he felt very guilty. Eddie looked up at Zhou Zhou who had stood up and got out of the car. His delicate face was bathed in the sun, like the most perfect work of the Creator. When Zhou Zhou turned around and smiled at him, his amber eyes seemed to be radiating light. His eyebrows were still childish, but they looked clean and gentle.
Eddie didn't know where he got the courage from. He suddenly stood up and shouted to Zhou Zhou: "Zhou Zhou, do you have a partner? Would you like to consider me?" The boy's love was pure and natural, without so many concerns. He just thought about it and immediately wanted to know the answer.
Qian Le, who had just been feeling sad, immediately looked at Eddie in shock, as if to say, "I treat you as my friend, how dare you run away?"
Zhou Zhou was originally planning to tell Eddie to stop daydreaming and get off quickly because the sightseeing bus was about to leave. As a result, he heard the other party's sudden confession. He was very familiar with this matter. After all, he had agreed to it countless times in the game before. He immediately smiled with curved eyebrows and was about to agree, but something went wrong.
The sightseeing bus parked at the exit suddenly started running at a very fast speed, almost as fast as the roller coaster just now. Then the sightseeing bus carrying Eddie disappeared in front of the three people.
Zhou Zhou still had his mouth open, staring blankly at the sightseeing bus. Why did it leave? He hasn't spoken yet.
Qian Le had no time to be angry, and stared blankly at the sightseeing bus that suddenly ran away. If he remembered correctly, they should have chosen the slowest sightseeing bus, so why did it suddenly speed up so fast? Game BUG? But then he thought, it’s right! Who made him suddenly confess to Zhou Zhou? This BUG came at the right time and it was perfect!
The sightseeing buses in the amusement park are automatically driven, and only Zeus can make the buses run in a way that does not follow the set program. So was it Zeus who was causing trouble just now?
The corners of Alvia's mouth curled up, revealing her first smile of the day, although this smile was fleeting.
"Zhou Zhou, let's go." Qian Le greeted Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou was still looking at the direction where the sightseeing bus disappeared: "But, Eddie hasn't come yet?"
"Hey, you see he was in such a hurry to leave just now, he must have something to do. Let's go first. Aren't you very interested in the game forum? Let's go back and wait for the forum to open, otherwise we won't be able to have the first bite of fresh melon."
In fact, it is still early to go back now. After all, no matter which area of the game you are in, it only takes a moment to reach another place. Qian Le held back his laughter and fooled Zhou Zhou. He had long seen that Zhou Zhou was very concerned about the forum. As long as he mentioned the forum, Zhou Zhou would definitely be diverted.
"Really? But he didn't even say hello." Zhou Zhou was still a little hesitant, mainly because he hadn't promised Eddie yet.
"Look, he hasn't come yet. If he really wanted to come and say hello to us, he could have arrived in one or two minutes by taking other sightseeing buses. We've been waiting for three minutes. He must have gone offline since he hasn't come yet." Qian Le said with certainty.
Yeah? Zhou Zhou walked forward a few steps, looked back, but still didn't see Eddie, so he had to turn around and leave with everyone.
Qian Le was in a very good mood today, mainly because he saw Eddie's miserable appearance. People are indeed happier when seeing other people having fun.
He originally wanted to go do a dungeon with Zhou Zhou while there was still time, but Zhou Zhou insisted on waiting until the forum opened in the evening. Qian Le thought that last time he passed the dungeon mainly with the help of Zhou Zhou, and he wondered if he could do it alone. Thinking of this, he suddenly became eager. After all, he was a student of the Imperial University, and the school was ranked in the top ten in the empire. A game should not be difficult for him.
So Qian Le gave Elvia a final warning look and left alone. He wanted to try to do the copy himself. If he really passed it, he could still take Zhou Zhou with him in the future.
Seeing Qian Le leave, Alvia said he had something to do and also went offline.
Zhou Zhou always felt that everyone didn't have a good time on this trip, but Xiao Jin was very happy and said that they hadn't had a chance to play together for a long time.
When they returned to the room, a group of little dolls immediately jumped off Zhou Zhou and danced around in his room. For them, they were happy as long as they could come out and play.
Originally, there were a few children who were afraid of Zhou Zhou because of the ghost story, but as they kept sticking to him along the way, the children's emotions came and went quickly, and they immediately forgot about his bad behavior.
Now he is using his little doll body to climb onto Zhou Zhou, showing his great courage.
Zhou Zhou also likes the lively atmosphere in his room and playing with the little ones.
After Elvia logged off, he came out of his bedroom and walked towards his usual office.
Ryan had been standing outside. When he saw Elvia come out, he immediately followed him with a solemn expression, which was completely different from the nonchalant look he had when he met Heya.
When they were almost at the palace, Alvia suddenly said, "Ask Anderlu to come over."
Andru is a senior figure in the imperial education system and has good relations with the presidents of many universities. Various college competitions are also held at his suggestion.
Ryan didn't know why His Majesty suddenly summoned Anderlu, but this was not a question he should ask: "Yes."
When Alvia returned to the palace, Zeus was already waiting for him.
He was sitting in a chair and laughing. When he saw Elvia, his laughter immediately became louder, fearing that Elvia couldn't hear his laughter.
"Where did you take the person?" Alvia asked while sitting at her desk.
Zeus laughed and said, "He's still wandering around the amusement park."
"It is not allowed to modify the program at will. Put the person down."
The person they were talking about was Eddie, and the two men knew it very well. Zeus carefully watched Elvia's expression and found that he had no intention of locking him up in the small dark room. He responded and stopped the sightseeing bus that was doing crazy parkour in the amusement park.
But thinking about how Elvia got up in the morning and changed her clothes, she was disturbed by a bunch of light bulbs. It's really funny that Eddie, the guy who has been trying to bring them together since they met, is trying to steal her away.
He covered his mouth and chuckled a few times. When he saw Elvia looking at him again, he quickly covered his mouth with his other hand.
"Do you have Zhou Zhou's data?" Elvia asked.
The data he asked about referred to the various data at the settlement after Zhou Zhou completed the game copy, including mental power, brain wave map, etc. Of course Zeus has it, but this thing can only be viewed by himself, and other people cannot check other people's data. Elvia asked this question to ask him to take out Zhou Zhou's data.
Zeus wanted to keep it a secret for Zhou Zhou. After all, he liked Zhou Zhou very much, although he didn't know why he liked Zhou Zhou. However, Elvia had the highest priority, so he could only hand over Zhou Zhou's data to him with tears in his eyes.
In fact, in addition to these data, tables, and graphs that are organized for the convenience of players, there are also some more complex data that will not be displayed. After all, most people can't understand them, and even if they understand them, it is of no use to them, but Elvia asked for all the data.
The total of all the pages was thicker than a book, so he just sat there reading.
Zeus felt bored after staying for a while and went back to the game to watch Zhou Zhou and the other kids play.
At night, all the children went home, leaving only a dozen dolls. Zhou Zhou placed the dolls neatly on his bedside, and then opened the task panel.
Sure enough, there was an additional forum module.
After clicking on it, there are various categories of the forum. After all, there are so many people in the Empire now. If they were all crowded together, as soon as someone posted, he would be pushed behind the top 100 in a second, so it can only be classified into different categories.
Zhou Zhou did not look for the most popular game section, but looked at the daily area.
Many people here have nothing to do and come here to watch the fun, chat about gossip, complain, etc.
And the answer Zhou Zhou wants can be asked here.
"Do you have anything interesting to share recently? I'm so bored."
"This is the fifth time today that my toes have kicked the corner of the bed. What should I do? Do I need to do something to get rid of the bad luck?"
"A giant cockroach suddenly appeared at the head of the bed. Help! I am dead~"
Zhou Zhou looked through the posts one by one and found that every post had an answer. He thought about it, lowered his head and posted his question.
“Is there any remote and unknown school?”
As soon as the post was sent, someone left a message.
“Good use of search, thanks.”
"No, how can a school that can be searched be called remote and unknown?"
"Homeschooling?"
"My hometown's primary school is the most remote. After all, the total population of the planet is less than a hundred, so it can be as remote as it can be."
Zhou Zhou looked at other people's replies and could only add one more sentence.
"Is there any remote and unknown university?" He should go to college at his age.
"University? But aren't all universities concentrated in one galaxy now? They should all know each other."
"If anyone wants to keep it a secret, it should be Hezdorn College. After all, it's been a countdown for ten thousand years."
"What's wrong with the countdown? Did I provoke you? Don't you remember the countdown very clearly?"
"The location of Hezdorn College is not that remote. The most remote one is Narelle College, which is located at the edge of the galaxy and always arrives last for any competition."
"When all the major universities were founded, they fought tooth and nail for positions. Narelle College was unwilling to compete and ended up at the edge."
"Isn't it because we can't win?"
"You guys are crazy, right? Narelle is always in the top 50 in every school-level competition, and you don't know? Aren't you just ignorant?"
"Stop talking about it. The Imperial University is the least known. The school does everything but does nothing. Hahaha."
"Then I was saying that the Imperial Royal Academy is always ranked second or third, but the way they act is even more arrogant than the first place."
"What do you know? The Imperial Royal Academy has a long history and is the first choice for every generation of princes and nobles. Your fake universities cannot compare with the Imperial Royal Academy at all."
"Oh, you caught a student from the Imperial Royal Academy, and you chose him first. Did you forget that His Majesty graduated from the First Military Academy? You're embarrassed."
"you……"
The post became more and more heated, and everyone who came in forgot what the poster was asking and started to belittle and insult each other. It is now holiday time for various universities, so many of the people hanging around are students from various universities. When they saw their alma mater being insulted, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and rushed over.
The question Zhou Zhou posted was pushed to the top of the homepage, but there was no one to help him answer the question. Looking at the screen flashing with a faint blue light and the increasing verbal battle, Zhou Zhou blinked in confusion.
Why is it different from what Eddie and the others said? Doesn’t it mean that as long as someone asks a question, everyone will answer it?
But everyone was obviously busy arguing and no one answered his question.
Then will he continue to ask?
The author has something to say:
