379 Conditions for reaching the end line
The morning light seemed to be blue, and it was a little cool, dyeing everything in the field of vision with a faint layer of white. There was still half a moon like ice chips in the sky, and a pale orange red had spread in the east.
Retracting his gaze from the sky, Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh, looked at the cat and soul in front of him again, and asked in an accentuated tone, "...... Are you really thinking about doing this? It's a risky ......."
"It should be fine," Dr. Cat nodded at her as if to reassure, his bright green eyes shining with wateriness, "...... I think that although he has a strange temper, he is still a good person; Besides, as a doctor, I can't leave a patient who is still recovering. ”
The puppeteer's request is a matter of life, and Lin Sanjiu can't make decisions according to his own wishes, he must ask the wishes of the parties; Unexpectedly, I brought this to the cat doctor, and he agreed to it - I don't know where it got the sense of security.
Hearing this, Lin Sanjiu groaned for a moment, and then turned his gaze to AYU.
The latter, for a rare moment, was no longer silent as before—its eyes widened, as if it were a little incredulous, and it waved its arms in a high-pitched tone: "...... Am I the only one who thinks this conversation shouldn't be in front of him? ”
The puppeteer sitting cross-legged on the ground as if he hadn't heard, his eyes closed and his head down, his pointed pale jaw looming between his wet black hair.
"Ahem," Hu Miaomiao flicked her tail unconcernedly, "Anyway, it's such a big place." He could hear it everywhere. ”
AYU stretched its face and was silent—since it was around Lin Sanjiu, the expressions and behaviors of these souls had become more and more vivid, and they had become more and more like living people—and after a while, it replied in a low voice with very obvious resistance, "...... Her Majesty said yes. It also said that it is better for you not to your useless heart, but to think about how to find your friends and help us multiply. ”
Lin Sanjiu plucked out his ears, but he didn't take it to heart at all. She didn't guess what the Queen of Souls had in mind: she must have relied on herself to only wear a layer of human skin, even if her whole body was turned into a puppet. I guess I can still get out of it - I don't know what the puppeteer's abilities do. Can it penetrate into the real flesh of the soul clan?
Of course, that's not a good question. However, since the soul has something to rely on, and the cat doctor has a life-saving grace with the puppeteer...... Lin Sanjiu sighed and finally put his hand on the doorknob.
"Then I'll go in first, and you guys be careful about everything."
Because the puppeteer has been out for too long. It's no longer the same game; In order to avoid the difficulty level of the two people affecting each other. The two decided to go their separate ways. After a pause, Lin Sanjiu glanced at the black-haired man sitting on the ground again, and said softly, "That." I'll leave it to you, my friend...... When you reach the end, remember to undo the abilities you cast on them. ”
The puppeteer opened his eyes and glanced at her.
"The fact that you're alive now says a lot," he chuckled softly, with a hint of threat out of nowhere, "...... Otherwise, it's useless for you to tell your tongue to rot now, right? ”
"Yes, yes," Lin Sanjiu hurriedly raised his two hands as if in surrender, glanced at Doctor Cat again, and finally didn't say anything more, turned around and pushed the door open; A second before she stepped in and the door closed, she faintly heard the kitten sigh and say, "Alas, it's really short."
Lin Sanjiu's old face suddenly turned red.
…… Before she came out of the first game, the puppeteer had actually woken up for hours; During this time, he was not idle, but turned around and cleared the last amusement project again - the so-called feng shui rotates, this time in order to be able to pass the second game as smoothly as possible, Lin Sanjiu also had to ask the puppeteer for part of the physical strength "help".
Stepping into the "Cartoon World Experience Hall" again, Lin Sanjiu finally understood what the puppeteer meant by "playing meat".
She never imagined that every choice and action she made in the previous game would cause such a monstrous follow-up impact; As the initiator, Lin Sanjiu was like a small boat in the wind and waves, and he could only barely move forward, and he was almost caught by a series of chain reactions several times-
Once, when she was surrounded by hundreds of Minnie Mouse Mouses on a high clock tower, there was no escape from all directions. The only exit is probably the doorway opposite the bell - but this doorway is in the air at a height of 100 feet, and when you look out, there is only a blue sky, and the outside of the clock tower is bare and slippery, and there is no place to borrow any strength.
Seeing that the huge faces of "Minnie" were already crowded in front of him, Lin Sanjiu gritted his teeth, grabbed the wood used to hit the bell, and after cutting the rope on one side, dragged the other end and flew out of the doorway - judging by the length of the wood, she should at least be thrown out a hundred meters and fall into the woods not far away; However, as soon as her body hung in the air, her ears suddenly caught a "cluck" - just after twisting her neck, the wooden pole suddenly cracked in Lin Sanjiu's gaze.
…… At this time, Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized that this wooden pole was made of the tree that was almost kicked and broken by her in the previous game.
If it weren't for the fact that she suddenly called out the [Tornado Whip] when she was about to hit the ground, I am afraid that she would not die at this time and could only lie on the ground and be motionless due to serious injuries - but the [Tornado Whip] was extremely strong, which was equivalent to throwing her out in a different direction, and Lin Sanjiu still broke a rib.
Just kicking a broken tree was already so powerful, she obviously didn't expect that her every move in the second game would be magnified in the third game with a fifty-fold butterfly effect.
…… All in all, when Lin Sanjiu knelt down in front of Mickey Mouse covered in blood and "coo", she had almost begun to blur her mind - in her chaotic vision. The sound of the stadium "rumbling" open the walls sounded like angels singing.
Whether it is mental or physical, Lin Sanjiu doesn't know whether to say that he has suffered a great challenge or has been greatly tortured; Staggering out of the venue, she immediately grabbed a telephone pole and slid down the pole, without breathing for a long time.
The physical exertion was so great that I could barely scream even the fluttering things; Her fingers trembled and screamed several times, and the [Bone Oil] finally appeared in the palm of her hand after flashing twice.
Smeared with medicine. Rested in place for a while. Lin Sanjiu felt that his eyes were no longer black for a while.
Raising her eyes, her gaze followed the brand-new pumpkin path. Just like the previous stretch of road, the road here is lined with small shops of fresh colors and shapes.
…… If there's anything to be gained from the "Cartoon World" project, it's ScroogeMcDuckPower. It's probably a hundred or dozens of physical strength points on her body; Although it wasn't enough to redeem her special items. But at least it was enough for Lin Sanjiu to buy some amusement park products - just one [Bone Oil]. It's too little to help her now.
Slowly, step by step, she stopped at the door of a small pink hotel.
Although the colors were a little evocative, what caught her eye was a sign on the door that read "Medicated Bath" - and a small line underneath the sign: "Our Medicated Bath is made with a variety of precious medicines." It has a miraculous effect on staying up late, wind chill, relieving fatigue, bruises, sprains, rejuvenating youth, and combat injuries, and charges 50 physical strength per person. ”
Lin Sanjiu stared at the signboard and hesitated for a while, but finally walked in without resisting the temptation.
…… In the Starry Sky Amusement Park, there is no false advertising.
When she came out of a pool of hot brown soup drenched, it was as if she had been relieved of the burden of a thousand years, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was refreshed and refreshed—her honey-colored skin was shiny, and there were almost no wounds to be seen, and the broken muscles and bones were gradually recovering with a gentle tingling; Although she hasn't fully recovered from her injury, at least she is now motivated to move on to the next project.
Putting on a bathrobe and tying a tie around his waist, Lin Sanjiu lifted the curtain.
"Hello!"
She had just come out of the hot medicine pool when a waiter in a red uniform came up from the opposite side; Holding a tray, he smiled and asked Lin Sanjiu, "Would you like a cold drink?" This is provided free of charge. ”
Lin Sanjiu's body was steaming with white steam, and his hair was dripping down; Wiped it with the bath towel on her shoulder, she glanced at the waiter--due to the effect of [ScroogeMcDuckPower]1, not only did she reduce the amount of physical strength required for bathing by twenty percent, but now she also had a complimentary drink--but she didn't know if it was because of her ability, Lin Sanjiu felt that her way of thinking sometimes seemed to be slowly influenced by McDuck-" ...... Oh, free? Then I'll have a drink. ”
A golden-orange iced drink with a tropical flower on the rim of the cup was quickly delivered; Lin Sanjiu took a sip lightly, and while feeling the sweet smell of alcohol in his mouth, he calculated the departure time in his heart.
It's been almost an hour of delay here, and she's got to get on her way quickly.
…… However, there was one thing that she had to worry about.
"Hey, you wait," Seeing that the red uniform was leaving, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly called out to him: "...... I'll ask you something. ”
"You're a VIP guest," Red Uniform smiled, "just ask me if you have anything to say." ”
"That's the case," Lin Sanjiu couldn't help frowning slightly when he remembered the scene he had just seen, "I walked outside for a while just now, why didn't I see the next amusement park?" How long will it take to get from here to the next venue? ”
The young man in the red uniform tilted his head slightly, and looking at her expression, Lin Sanjiu's heart suddenly lifted.
"Guest, do you want to go to the end?" The waiter said as he smiled slightly: "...... On the road from here to the end, there is no amusement park like before; It's just that you can't go straight to the finish line. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Being able to come here shows that your agility, strength, combat skills, and flexibility of thinking have risen to a certain level. From the last hurdle, however, it's more than just these things needed to get to the end. The waiter barely had time to pause and think, and spoke very fluently: "...... If you go down like this from here, even if you go to the wilderness, you won't see the finish venue; There are just a myriad of different shops. ”
Lin Sanjiu looked at him in a daze, and even forgot to drink the drink in his hand for a while.
"Can't just walk?" She was still a little incomprehensible: "...... What does it take to get to the end? ”
The waiter's smile looked very standard, and eight white teeth were exposed: "Physical strength." ”
"Stamina?" Since this information was all unexpected, Lin Sanjiu could only repeat his words a little dumbfounded: "Could it be that you must have a certain amount of physical strength to see the end?" ”
"Yes."
“…… So, how much stamina does it take to see the end? ”
"For the average person, you need at least 3500 stamina," the waiter tilted his head and thought for a while, "But you are a VIP guest, I think there will be a certain degree of reduction." ”
This number was so startled that Lin Sanjiu almost didn't even hold the drink in her hand - although she remembered Mike Duck first, but then suppressed this thought again. In order not to be blackmailed by her for her stamina, McDuck has not been seen since the end of the first game, apparently to avoid her.
"But there is no amusement park here, in order to earn stamina, do I have to go back and clear the previous amusement attractions again?" The more Lin Sanjiu spoke, the more he couldn't help but feel frustrated and angry in his heart: "...... But when I turned around, I naturally had to deduct the cost of staying overnight and entering the venue, and besides, with the little physical strength of the reward, who could save enough 3500 points! ”
"Guest, of course you can't get the finish package so easily." The waiter smiled unmoved and said, "...... For your sake, let me tell you a little bit more. If you complete this goal, you will be able to draw a prize at random before you reach the finish line...... Accumulating 3,500 stamina points doesn't have to turn back. ”
Lin Sanjiu's eyes narrowed.
"So what am I going to do?"
"Let me say so...... Every store you see is a two-way deal. The waiter smiled meaningfully, then bowed his head to her and turned away. Before he left, the last sentence floated into Lin Sanjiu's ears like a whisper: "...... Make the most of your potential to earn stamina along the way. (To be continued.) )
