Chapter 84 A blessing in disguise
Five minutes later, Meng Qingyin arrived at the next stop, the ice sculpture station.
The chubby husky stretched out its front paw: "Please pay the fare of 3 silver coins."
Meng Qingyin's hands trembled as she took out three silver coins, reluctant to give them away.
The chubby husky didn't give her a chance to hesitate. It brought its chubby face close to her hand, and with a flick of its tongue, it snatched the silver coin away.
Then, the four huskies and the sled disappeared together.
Meng Qingyin: "..."
She carried her baby into the ice sculpture exhibition area, where various small animals were lifelike and crystal clear under the sunlight.
But Meng Qingyin had no time to appreciate the ice sculptures; she just wanted to know if there was any forced consumption involved.
After nearly ten minutes of anxious anticipation, the broadcast suddenly came on.
[Dear visitor "Mengmeng", you have less than one minute left to view the ice sculptures. Please pay 5 silver coins to leave, or continue your visit.]
Meng Qingyin calculated that visiting the ice sculpture for ten minutes would cost 5 silver coins, which was much cheaper than the bumper cars that cost 10 silver coins.
She has 25 minutes left to stay, and if she continues to visit the ice sculptures, she only needs to spend another 15 silver coins.
I don't know how the next project will cost, so I might as well just stay here for 25 minutes.
Otherwise, if the later projects are too expensive and exceed the budget, she will have to stay here to work and pay off her debts.
Meng Qingyin immediately made a decision and paid 5 silver coins to continue visiting the ice sculptures.
Feeling a little more at ease, she focused her attention on the ice sculptures and began to examine them carefully.
Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Meng Qingyin paid another 10 silver coins.
At this point, there are five minutes left before the end of the stay.
[Dear visitor "Mengmeng", your visit time is less than five minutes. Since your spending exceeds 50 silver coins, please go to the "Visitor Area" immediately to redeem your prize; otherwise, it will be forfeited.]
Meng Qingyin was taken aback. She could even redeem prizes?
She immediately grabbed the baby and ran out of the ice sculpture area. As expected, the huskies were already waiting for her there.
Meng Qingyin: "How many silver coins will it cost to take me to the tourist area? How long will it take?"
The chubby husky answered methodically, "The price varies, and so does the time required. The slowest is the tortoise speed, which costs only 3 silver coins but takes ten minutes."
"The second is medium speed, which costs 5 silver coins and takes five minutes."
"And there's also Divine Speed, which costs 10 silver coins and only takes one minute."
Meng Qingyin hesitated for a moment; a snail's pace or a medium pace would definitely not be enough to catch up.
I can get there quickly enough, but... do I really have to spend another 10 silver coins to get there as fast as I can to redeem the prize? Who knows if the prize is worth a lot or a little?
Meng Qingyin had already been swindled out of several dozen silver coins and was finding it difficult to make a decision.
Just then, the management group made a move.
[Hyena: Do you think number 666 will spend 10 silver coins to rush to the tourist area?]
[White Fox: I don't know, but if it were me, I would definitely go.]
[Pheasant: Then I hope the evil humans don't go!]
[Honey Badger: I can understand why #666 is so scared of being ripped off and doesn't dare spend silver coins to gamble for prizes anymore. If they dared to rip me off like that, I would definitely smash this place to pieces.]
[Azure Wolf: Honey Badger, I believe you're capable of doing something like this, but you need to understand, player number 666 is just an ordinary player!]
[White Fox: But the prizes this time are really generous, it would be a real shame to miss it. They have a saying, "A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise," I wonder if number 666 can seize this opportunity.]
Upon seeing this, Meng Qingyin immediately and calmly turned off her watch, got into the sled, and left.
She said to the husky in front of her, "Since I've already been ripped off with so many silver coins, I don't care about 10 more. Get me to the visitor area as fast as you can. I want to see what this prize is all about."
As soon as the words were spoken, the huskies strained together, and the sled shot off with a "whoosh".
This time, Meng Qingyin experienced what lightning speed truly meant.
In less than a minute, she arrived at the "visitors' area".
Meng Qingyin forced herself to get off the sled, her stomach churning, and felt her legs go weak.
The chubby husky panted with its tongue lolling out: "Please, please pay 10 silver coins..."
It's clear that all four of them are exhausted.
So those two times they weren't even using their full strength yet.
Meng Qingyin took out 10 silver coins and handed them to the chubby husky before pushing open the door and entering the "Visitor Area".
The entire visitor area was quiet; there wasn't a single person there.
In the middle of the room was a round table with a round plate on it. The plate was divided into small compartments, and the top was sealed with paper, so the contents of the box could not be seen.
Meng Qingyin walked to the round table, and the broadcast sounded at just the right moment.
[Dear visitor "Mengmeng", according to statistics, you have spent a total of 71 silver coins in the Ice and Snow World. After deducting the basic spending of 50 silver coins, the remaining 21 silver coins can be exchanged for one chance to win a prize every 10 silver coins. You have two chances to win a prize, so please participate!]
You have two chances to win a prize...
Meng Qingyin looked at the round plate on the table. At a glance, it had about a hundred small compartments.
[White Fox] said the prizes this time are very generous, but it's impossible for every square to contain good stuff, right?
She only has two chances to win the prize. Will she be able to win the grand prize?
Meng Qingyin hesitated to make a move.
She glanced at the management group chat again.
[Pheasant: This prize wheel is so flimsy! What if some player doesn't follow the rules and breaks all the squares?]
[Azure Wolf: The props 007 made may look simple, but they are by no means poorly made. Once the lottery draw is over, no matter what method is used, it is impossible to open any other slots.]
Meng Qingyin understood; it seemed 007 had made thorough preparations to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.
[Pheasant: Brother White Fox, what kind of good stuff are in the prizes?]
[White Fox: Hehe, I won't tell you.]
[Pheasant: Tell me, tell me! You're still hiding things from me? I'm really curious!]
[White Fox: I can only say that every prize here is pretty good, after all, it cost quite a few silver coins. However, the grand prize is in the small box in the top left corner.]
[Pheasant: The grand prize? What could it be?]
[Azure Wolf: The snow season is almost here. Inside is a snow-related item, and there's a high probability that it's the only one of its kind.]
[Pheasant: The only one? So, if the item is drawn by an evil human, then no other player can draw it?]
[Honey Badger: That's right. Even if other players enter the "Ice and Snow World" site later and get a chance to win, the prizes that have already been won will not be replenished. Every prize in the prize pool is unique.]
[Pheasant: Lord Chicken God, please protect that evil human from winning the grand prize!]
[White Fox: Don't worry, how could Lady Luck always favor the same person? Last time, 666 was already very lucky to have accidentally drawn the legendary beast egg from chest number 57. This time, she definitely won't get the grand prize. After all, the top left corner is so inconspicuous; no one will even look at it.]
[Pheasant: Brother White Fox, you've written a lot, so you must have a point!]
