Chapter 173: Players Re-enter Wonderland! (2-in-1 Ticket!) )
"Ahh Ahhhh ”
"Uh-huh...... Ahhh ”
At night, from the attic of the fourth floor of the villa, there was a terrible scream.
A residential area not far away.
Six players are chatting over tea on a couch in the lobby on the first floor.
Hearing the looming screams, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Did you hear that?"
The centaur asked.
"Well, it looks like someone is screaming."
The double ponytail Lori tail held the iced milk tea, stirred it twice with a spoon, and whispered.
"How does it sound like a dog's head and oblivion?"
Polaris frowned slightly.
Su Keying glanced at him.
"That seems to be true...... What's going on? ”
She rubbed goosebumps from her arm.
"Anyway, they couldn't have been caught by Jack and being tortured, right?!"
"It's possible, after all, it's involved in the activities of the confrontation organization, and the favorability has dropped to disgust, and if you don't hunt them down, you will also learn a lesson."
Dongyang chuckled and took a sip of tea.
"Will it be so painful? It would be nice to minimize the perception of pain in the game......"
Chenxi frowned slightly.
"Who knows what strange methods this famous 'Destiny Guide' Mr. Jack will have, after all, this is an extraordinary world...... Maybe it's a strange itch, a terrifying vision, a heart-gouging out of the lungs, or eating yourself raw. ”
Dongyang said, putting down the teacup.
"Even if I know that this is a game, but in such a real sense, it is still a great blow to people's spirits...... Isn't it? ”
Hearing his calm words, the three women present were all a little hairy.
But the centaur turned his head, drank tea silently, and did not dare to say a word.
Because he secretly reported the news and told the dog head Jin and Forgotten Wuji some information, which caused them to "fall into the net".
If these two people were tortured into stupid monuments, wouldn't they have to carry the cauldron.
"Ahem, I'm a little tired, go upstairs and sleep."
The centaur stood up.
"Well, it's almost time, let's go our separate ways."
Dongyang said.
"Skip sleep time, remember to schedule, we have made an appointment to go to the beach together tomorrow morning to upgrade, run in the team in advance, and prepare for the 'Wonderland Dungeon'."
Chenxi snorted, and went upstairs without looking back.
At the end, Lori and Su Keying were still chatting in a low voice, and the name of "Jack" could be vaguely heard, and the faces of the two were filled with strange smiles.
Polaris glanced at them and shook his head.
He followed the horseman's footsteps and left the living room as well.
For some reason, in this small group, he gradually became a misfit.
Maybe it's because the other players on the same team are either guild members or huddle mates, and only he is Polaris, a real lone wolf.
"You can, Polaris."
He silently encouraged himself, and his eyes flashed with determination.
"Try! Struggle! Strive to earn enough money to be promoted to the Transcendent as soon as possible! No one can look down on you! ”

3rd floor room.
Chen Lun leaned back in a chair by the window.
"Ahhh
"Don't come here!"
A faint shout came from overhead.
He looked up and glanced silently at the ceiling.
'What the hell was Maggie feeding them to react so much?' ’
Shaking his head, Chen Lun picked up the unsealed old book on the table again.
'Dream of the Town of Kazt...... This book is peculiar and gives me a sense of déjà vu. ’
He flipped through the mysterious book, his face brooding.
This book is "transcendental" and does not have any other substantial benefits other than providing Chen Lun with 500 experience points.
The book depicts a down-and-out sailor who falls into a drunken drowsy drowsia from a first-person perspective.
In his sleep, he descended from a staircase leading to the underground, walked 70 steps, and found a large stone door.
Looking up at the stone gate, for some reason, he could clearly recognize its name as "The Gate of Sleep".
The stone gate is carved with all kinds of sea creatures, as well as bizarre and monstrous monsters. Next to the huge stone door, there stood a tall woman whose face could not be seen clearly.
Dressed in an elegant dark green gauze skirt, he silently examined and looked at the sailor.
Similarly, the sailor also inexplicably learned the woman's name, "Lady of Sighs".
The lofty and majestic momentum made the sailors have an impulse to worship, and did not dare to have any blasphemous thoughts.
As if having passed some kind of test, the Lady of Sighs opened the door for him.
The sailor crossed the stone gate and went down again, and after 700 steps again, he came to a gray forest.
The forest was dim, and there was no living creature in sight.
The sailor gets lost in the forest until he meets a black cat.
The black cat was so promising, and with great hospitality, he gave the sailor a kind of home-brewed wine, the "moon wine", and then guided the sailor to "the sound of the water, in the pile of stones".
The sailors follow the guidance of the black cat, and finally succeed in finding an old town-
Kazit.
The sailors were surprised to find that the inhabitants of this town were all intelligent white cats.
They have a common leader, who is both the mayor and the high priest, named Daye. It was an old cat with a tabby brown appearance, completely different from the white cats of the entire town of Gatzt.
It is responsible for deciding the major affairs of the town, as well as worshipping the town's faith, the cat god.
The sudden appearance of the sailor surprised and intrigued the cat inhabitants of Gatzt Town, as it had been a long time since the last human visit.
They warmly welcomed the sailor and gave him a feast.
At the feast, the sailor took out the moon wine, which caused the displeasure of the white cats, because it was a gift from the black cats.
The white cats brought out their pride, sun wine.
The sailors had never tasted such good wine, and they were drunk.
Driven by curiosity, he quietly drank the moon wine again, and finally entered a state of indescribable wonder.
He found that he could see things that he had not seen before, and he also saw that in the sky above the small town of Gatzt, there was a huge, yellow-robed figure that covered the sky and the sun.
At that moment, the sailor felt sublimated.
But in the eyes of the white cats, he turned into powder in an instant and disappeared into the air.
The sailor's dream, never woke up again.
It's just a dock of reality, with one more cold corpse.
The story of "Dream Town Gatzt" is not long, but the whole story is full of a kind of grotesqueness.
Chen Lun gently closed the book after reading it, his brows furrowed.
"The Gate of Sleep...... Sigh Lady ...... The small town of Gatzt ...... Yellow robe......"
He muttered these words, feeling like an extremely high being.
And the atmosphere depicted in the whole story is also quite epic.
And the forest that the protagonist first entered reminded him of the gray forest in the "fairyland".
'Could the dream in the book be a fairyland...... ’
Chen Lun guessed.
'If that's the case, it's no wonder that Philip is so jealous of Wonderland......
He stroked the unsealed old book, then put it away properly.
In my heart, I made up my mind, and in the process of exploring the fairyland, I should pay attention to the clues that appeared in the book to confirm whether there is a connection between the two.

Four storey attics.
Kotou Kim looked at the monster in front of him in shock.
It is a strong creature with a bull-headed body, with four arms, chest and abdomen, hooves, and knotted muscles.
"! Brother, you are now a four-handed minotaur! ”
Kotou Jin said.
Forgotten Wuji rolled his eyes, and said angrily:
"Where do you think you're getting better, you've grown two cows."
"Huh?! Not a horn?! ”
Doghead Jin suddenly lowered his head.
Rumble!!
There was a loud bang.
Oblivion Wuji punched violently, knocking the dog's head and golden bull's head crooked, and half of his face was blurred with flesh and blood.
The doghead fell heavily and let out a muffled thud.
"What the hell are you...... Do?! ”
The rotten half of his face, flesh wriggling, intertwined, and recovering at breakneck speed.
Oblivion Wuji carried the horns of the dog's head and lifted him up.
"I can't control myself, so I want to hit someone!"
Forgotten Wuji's eyes were red and he was panting.
He threw another punch, hitting the bull's face with a golden head of the dog, and the wound that had just recovered shattered again.
The dog's eyes were shattered, blood was dripping, and his body was shaky but standing.
He also seemed to be in a state of some kind of rage, and his thick arms stretched out two to grab Oblivion, and the other two clenched fists and swung violently.
Bang bang! Crackling!!
Oblivion is punched hard, and his teeth are splattered with blood.
But he still had the strength to fight back, and he also threw a punch at the doghead gold.
In this way, the two of them howled and screamed in pain in hand-to-hand combat with each other.
In the end, they both fell to the ground, their musculokeletal bodies shattered, like a puddle of mud.
But they weren't dead, they were still gasping for breath.
"- Brother, the effect of this medicine is really good! It's a miracle drug! The health recovery rate is frighteningly fast, and the stats have skyrocketed! It's just a bit of a top-notch ......."
"- Most importantly, it's a credit to us! The miracle medicine was born because of our selfless dedication! So I decided! I'll be a big fan of Beef Bottle! ”
"—I'm the same! Greatly, I feel uncomfortable not drinking! ”
"—Are you recovering? I want to fight again! ”
"-come!"
The two four-armed minotaurs struggled to get up again, starting a new round of fighting.
"Ahh Yes!! ”
"Ahhhh Ahh ”
The eight fists are intertwined, and the fists are to the flesh.
Bang bang! Cracking sound!
Maggie stood in the corner of the attic, blushing and excited.
"It worked! Although there were a few minor side effects, it was a real success! In a sense, side effects can also be the advantages of the potion, and the alienated body increases the offensive ......! ”
With a notebook in her hand, she watched the fight between the two minotaurs, quickly recording something.
After a while.
The battle between Kotou Gold and Oblivion Mowgli is over.
This time, the bodies of the two finally couldn't support it, and they disintegrated into flesh and turned into white light and dissipated.
Maggie's eyes lit up as she looked at where they had disappeared.
"This is what the regiment leader called the 'immortal', and it is really an excellent material for testing medicine!"
She put away her notebook and pen, walked briskly to the table, picked up a bubbling red viscous potion, and turned to leave.
"The head of the regiment must be told the good news! Hey! ”

Chen Lun finished washing up and came out of the bathroom.
He was about to go to bed when he heard a knock at the door.
Open the door.
Maggie dodged and got in.
Before Chen Lun could speak, she took out a crimson potion.
"Captain! It worked! This is the 'Beef Viagra'! My most satisfying masterpiece so far! ”
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and took the potion.
【Extraordinary Elixir - Beef Vigor Bottle】
Item description: A powerful recovery potion developed by heretical apothecaries, a crimson potion that was created using ancient techniques and materials, combined with whimsy.
But with that comes terrible side effects.
Item Effect: It can greatly restore internal and external injuries, and has targeted effects on hemostasis, blood production, and musculoskeletal recovery.
100% Transformed into a Bull Creature, Max HP +200, Max HP +100, Strength +5 and Endurance +5, and Fall into a state of extreme rage, full of murderous intent and destructive desire, lasting 30 minutes.
When the potion wears off, it will inevitably lead to flesh collapse, halving maximum health, maximum stamina, strength, and stamina for 48 hours.
Warning: Do not repeat within 48 hours, otherwise it will trigger instant death.
"Beef...... Vigor Bottle ...... Forehead. ”
Chen Lun took this potion and was speechless for a while.
Although he wanted to complain about Maggie's ability to choose a name, he had to say that this name was more vivid than his "powerful blood vial".
Not dwelling on the name of the potion, he lifted the cap and sniffed it gently.
A rich smell of raw beef rushed to his face, making him frown.
Accompanied by a slight tingling and itching all over his body, Chen Lun even felt that his breathing was a little heavier.
'The effect of the medicine is very strong! ’
Surprise flashed in his eyes.
'This potion provides a powerful health regeneration rate...... Although the side effects are very large, and you will transform into a bull monster, it is surprisingly suitable for players! ’
Chen Lun looked at the crimson elixir in his hand.
For some reason, he always had the illusion that the side effects of this potion in the player's hands might be its main effect, and health recovery became the icing on the cake.
"Well done Maggie, this potion is indeed very new, and I am surprised."
Chen Lun smiled at Maggie.
Maggie smiled, raised her hand, and spread out her palm.
"Commander, there's no money."
"Forehead ......"
Chen Lun was slightly stunned, then shook his head helplessly, took out a money bag containing 200 gold pounds, and handed it over.
"This 'beef vial' can be made a little more, and it could be very popular......"
"No problem, Captain!"
Maggie cheered.

A few days later.
A total of ten players, including Kotou Gold and Forgotten Mowgli, gathered in the living room on the first floor of the villa in Jack's Manor.
In addition to the original six players, the two extra ones are a cadre from their own guilds pulled by Dongyang and Chenxi, a man and a woman, named "Crazy Ben Maniac" and "Honey Grapefruit" respectively.
They are ready to go to Wonderland together.
"Doghead gold, oblivion, welcome back."
The centaur smiled heartily at the two of them.
A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
These two people were tortured by Jack to be like this because of themselves, which is really pitiful.
The reason for the horse's birth to have this idea is naturally the dog-headed gold and oblivion, who always maintain an excited look on his face, his eyes swimming, and his concentration is not concentrated.
Symptoms of hyperactivity in patients with live detachment.
Anyway, it doesn't look normal.
Because the "Beef Vigor Bottle" had just been concocted and the reserves were limited, Chen Lun only sold one bottle to each of them, and the others did not know the news for the time being.
Doghead Jin and Forgotten Mowgli are looking forward to the power of Hercules Medicine at this moment, hoping that they can perform well in this Wonderland dungeon.
"Centaurs, long time no see!"
Kotou Kim said hello to him.
"Polaris, Su Keying, you too...... There are other new friends as well. ”
He and Oblivion said as they looked at the others.
Polaris nodded at the two of them, and the others also bowed their heads, and Su Keying responded enthusiastically.
Wait for them to sit down on the couch.
"Are you ready, warriors of the Outland?"
A deep, magnetic voice came.
The ten players turned their heads and looked at the black-hatted youth on the sofa opposite the coffee table.
They were in the chat room, after a brief round of communication. Dongyang, the vice president of Valhalla Court, spoke on his behalf:
"We're ready, Mr. Jack."
They each took out a symbolic ticket.
This is the entrance ticket to "Wonderland".
"Very good......
Chen Lun smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.
Syllable!
A small flame popped out of his hand, and it exploded into ten tiny sparks, which instantly fell into the hands of ten people.
The tickets burned out and dissipated into smoke.
The players were slightly stunned.
Immediately, they saw Mr. Jack hold out his hand to them.
"Warriors of the Outland, go to Wonderland to explore......"
A deep, magnetic voice sounded.
A familiar scene appeared from the Polaris Horse Man and other Closed Beta Five, and from Mr. Jack's cuffs, countless tiny vines drilled out, interwoven into a quaint book.
Boom la la ......!
The pages are turned open.
"Quietly into my dreams......"
Jack grinned.
With a bang, everyone's eyes saw a flash of white light.
I don't know how long it has been.
When they came back to their senses, the scene in the living room of the villa had disappeared, and the surrounding area was a gray forest.
"Whew...... We're back! ”
Doghead Jin spoke.
Unlike the first time he was at a loss, this time he felt extremely anticipated.
"yes."
The centaur also sighed.
"Is this the Grey Forest? What is the starting point of Wonderland......? ”
Dongyang looked left and right, with a hint of curiosity on his face.
Chenxi and Tail Yin and the others also raised their heads and looked at the surrounding environment, feeling new to all this.
"That's not right!"
Polaris spoke suddenly.
The others looked at him with puzzled expressions.
"This is not where we came."
Polaris pointed in a direction that no one else had noticed, and as they looked that way, they were surprised to see a wooden hut looming in the shade of the trees.
"Cabin ......? We really didn't encounter it in the first place! ”
The centaur said in a deep voice.
That's when it happened.
In their minds, a prompt box popped up!
