The beam of the flashlight shone on the giant Alice doll, and suddenly reflected a silvery light.
Chen Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickened his pace, heading towards the silver light.
As he approached, he saw that the doll had an Alice Medal pinned to its chest.
His eyes lit up instantly, and he was so excited he almost jumped up, shouting:
"Ah! I found it! I'm number one! I'm number one!"
He couldn't wait to take the medal off the doll and ran back.
He didn't notice in the instant he turned around.
The giant Alice doll's eyes flickered slightly, focusing on him.
Chen Chen jogged along the dark path, heading towards the main gate.
However, when he ran to the door, he found that the door had been locked.
Chen Chen froze, gripping the railing, and shouted:
"Why are you closing the door? I've already got the medal! Open the door! I've leveled up!"
Zhou Tian stood outside the door, a faint smile on his face. He looked at Chen Chen and said calmly:
"Sir, have you forgotten the name of our variety show?"
"You have to stay in this amusement park for 72 hours. Only those who have medals when they come out at the end are considered to have advanced."
Chen Chen angrily pounded on the iron gate and complained:
"Why didn't you say so sooner? You've locked us up for three days! What do you take us for? What are we supposed to do when we're hungry? What are we supposed to do when we need to sleep?"
Zhou Tian maintained his faint smile and said:
"Don't worry about that. Our staff will be on duty outside the amusement park the whole time, and will deliver lunch to you every day at noon."
Chen Chen left the gate indignantly, carefully putting the medal into his bag.
He looked up at the sky; the night had grown even darker.
Viewers on the drone were engrossed in the scene and engaged in heated discussions:
[Keeping them locked up in an amusement park for three days? And live-streaming the whole time? Isn't that like being an animal in a zoo?]
[I knew it! The production team definitely didn't mean any harm! They can't let people advance so easily!]
[Three days in jail, eight medals, nine people—do you think they'll start fighting later?]
You know what, things are getting more and more exciting!
[...]
Upon learning that the iron gate had been closed, the atmosphere in the entire amusement park instantly became tense.
Under the dim light, the faces of the nine people all looked somewhat solemn.
After all, although there are eight spots for advancement, no one can guarantee that others won't steal someone else's medal in order to secure their own advancement.
This uncertainty and potential danger have made everyone wary.
Chen Chen suddenly realized that getting the medal too early might not be a good thing; instead, it made him a potential target.
His gaze swept across the crowd, landing on a few equally strong men.
He picked up an iron rod from the ground, held it in his hand, and weighed it in his hand.
At this moment, Xia Wantang and Su Muyao quietly approached Chen Chen.
Their faces were pale, and their eyes revealed a hint of fear.
Xia Wantang said in a trembling voice, "Brother Chen, we're a little scared. Can you protect us?"
Su Muyao nodded in agreement, "Yes, Brother Chen, you're the most capable one there. Can you protect us?"
Chen Chen's heart softened when he saw their pitiful appearance.
He patted his chest and said in a very hearty manner:
"Don't worry, you two stay with me, and I'll make sure no one hurts you!"
Upon hearing Chen Chen's words, Xia Wantang and Su Muyao exchanged a glance, secretly delighted that they had found a powerful backer.
They surrounded Chen Chen and said in unison, their voices sweet:
"Brother Chen, you're so kind!"
On the other side.
Yan Ning walked alone into the depths of the amusement park.
She quickly calculated the approximate location of the medal and headed towards it.
The amusement park's terrain was more complex than she had imagined.
It's likely that the designer referenced the plot of Alice in Wonderland when they created it.
Huge road signs point to various fantastical areas, with exaggerated and ornate architectural styles, as if they were scenes directly taken from a fairy tale.
Stone sculptures of white and red roses are neatly arranged along the winding road.
Walking through it, Yan Ning couldn't help but have a strange feeling, as if she were Alice herself.
Following the instructions of the divination, she traveled all the way to a huge tree hole.
The entrance to the tree hollow is partially obscured by dense vines, making it look both ancient and mysterious.
Yan Ning stopped and leaned down to look into the cave. It was pitch black inside, and the bottom was nowhere in sight.
She couldn't help but be a little surprised; this amusement park really went to great lengths to create an immersive experience.
They even built the rabbit hole from Alice's story!
But Yan Ning could clearly sense that the medal was somewhere below.
Therefore, to find the medal, you must jump down this hole.
Yan Ning took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then jumped into the rabbit hole.
Her body slid rapidly through the narrow hole.
The rough texture of the cave walls rubbed against her skin, bringing a slight tingling sensation.
After gliding for a distance, she suddenly lost her balance and fell onto a soft carpet.
Yan Ning plopped down on the ground, looking around in a flustered manner.
The first thing you see is a huge table, covered with all sorts of desserts and cakes.
These desserts look exquisite and tempting, ranging from giant strawberry cakes to colorful macarons.
Yan Ning was stunned. She slowly stood up and looked around.
The space wasn't large, and the walls were decorated with fantastical patterns that echoed the theme of Alice in Wonderland.
The table was placed right in the center, which was probably a carefully designed area by the amusement park to attract tourists to take photos and check in.
She nimbly climbed from the chair onto the table and began carefully searching for medals on the surface.
The cakes and desserts on the table weren't real; they were carved from stone, but they looked incredibly lifelike and even had a slight sheen.
Yan Ning couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The amusement park's designer really tried his best to replicate it, but unfortunately, it was abandoned in the end.
Just as she was engrossed in her search, a magnetic and pleasant voice suddenly rang out beside her:
"Beautiful lady, welcome to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party! Your presence makes our humble abode truly special!"
"??"
Yan Ning froze, turned her head, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
A strangely shaped doll slowly emerged from the shadows.
The doll was dressed in a gorgeous tea party outfit, wore a dark green hat, and had a big smile on its face.
He jumped onto the table, gracefully removed his hat, bowed to Yan Ning, and said with a smile:
"Hello, beautiful lady, my name is Mad Hatter. May I invite you to join me for afternoon tea?"
