The owl left so quickly that Chen Lin had no time to say anything.
He kept looking at the other person with his mouth open until he turned into a black dot, then he looked away and looked at the colorful mushroom next to him.
"Your Excellency took my gold nightmare coins, brought me here, and hid from me, and didn't let me participate in the story contest. What's your purpose?"
Chen Lin held back his anger and tried to keep his tone gentle.
There was no other way. He had to lower his head when he was under the eaves. Even though he looked like a mushroom, it was not something he could contend with.
"Hmph, do you know what a story contest is? You have to participate."
Xiao Mushroom glanced at Chen Lin and snorted, his face full of sarcasm.
"oh?"
Successfully raised the voice of doubt.
Then his eyes flashed, and he said with a look of disdain: "Isn't it just a story contest? What's the difficulty? I have a lot of stories in my stomach, and I can tell them for three days and three nights without any problem!"
"ignorance!"
The little mushroom curled his lips.
"If we just tell stories, why don't we need Lady Sheila to personally send the invitation letter? I won't have to hide!"
Chen Lin was still disdainful and said: "I don't believe that there is any danger in a story contest. Are you too timid?"
"Am I timid?"
The little mushroom sneered.
Arrogantly said: "I, Lilia, am a famous adventurer in Fairy Tale Town, with the title of Adventure King. You are the first one to say that I am timid. You are really blind!"
Seeing that the other party was a little irritated, Chen Lin's tone immediately became gentle again.
"Really, then I'm looking down on you. Then why are you afraid of participating in the story contest? Is this contest any different from ordinary contests?"
"Of course it's different."
In order to prove that she was not a coward, Lilia explained.
"The Story Contest is a once-in-a-century event in Fairy Tale Town. But in the past, participation was voluntary. If you get a ranking, you will get a reward. If you don't get a ranking, it doesn't matter. Everyone is happy, just like celebrating a festival."
"But since something happened in Fairy Tale Town, it has become mandatory. Residents in the town must participate as long as they receive an invitation."
"The rules of the competition have also been changed. Those who rank at the top can get rewards, and those who rank at the bottom have to pay fines. Therefore, the residents of the town hide as much as they can and try not to accept invitations."
"I've been hiding for so long, but I still can't escape. Lord Sheila actually took action personally. I'm afraid no one can escape this time."
Lilia sighed, helpless.
Chen Lin's heart moved.
According to what the other party meant, by not coming out for so long, I wasn't trying to keep him dry, but I was hiding from the invitation letter for the story contest.
"Then what is the story contest about and what is the basis for determining the ranking?"
Chen Lin continued to ask.
From a literal analysis, this is a storytelling competition. Fairy Tale Town should be about fairy tales.
But judging from the other party's expression, it won't be that simple.
Lilia did not hide anything and replied: "The story competition is held at the Fairy Tale Theater. The contestants' stories can bring the audience into the characters and experience the excitement of the story immersively. The Jieshi Theater will give rewards based on the audience's satisfaction.
Contestant Ratings.”
Chen Lin looked surprised when he heard this.
This is really not a simple story telling.
"Who are the spectators? Are they the other contestants?"
Chen Lin immediately asked questions of concern.
If it were other contestants, then this competition would not be about strength, but about worldliness.
"of course not."
Lilia answered immediately.
He continued: "The theater will project the stories of the contestants in the form of dreams into the dreams of children in the world. These children are the audience, and their inner feedback is the most authentic judgment, and there will be no false scores.
"
Chen Lin was secretly shocked when he heard the other party's explanation.
It is indeed a golden scene, and the method is indeed extraordinary.
"Are all the audience children?"
Chen Lin asked again.
"Um."
Lilia nodded.
"It is said that Fairy Tale Town was formed based on children's imagination, so everything here is something children like."
Chen Lin understood.
Since it is called Fairy Tale Town, it must be related to children, and he has been mentally prepared for this.
As for fairy tales, he can also make up some, but he is not sure whether he will get a ranking.
"Your Excellency Lilia, may I ask how I can leave here?"
Chen Lin finally got to the point.
He had been dealing with the other party for so long just to ask this question.
The story contest and the rewards have nothing to do with him. He just wants to leave safely now, or at least master the method of leaving.
"It's very simple, as long as you participate in the story contest and get first place!"
Lilia's answer made Chen Lin's face look ugly.
He asked in a deep voice: "Is this the only way?"
If this was the only way, then the other party's act of rejecting the invitation on his behalf would be really deplorable.
"of course not."
Lilia glanced into the distance and said, "If you can crack a fairy tale world, you can also gain permission to leave."
"Fairy tale world?"
Chen Lin was thoughtful.
"Um."
Lilia hummed.
Then he said: "All the buildings here are a fairy tale world, and their origins are transformed from the story of the first place in the fairy tale competition."
"In every fairy tale world, there is a main story line. You need to enter it and complete the main line tasks on behalf of the protagonist. In this way, you can not only get rewards, but also gain the right to leave the fairy tale town freely."
Speaking of this, Lilia looked at Chen Lin.
He smiled and said, "But you don't have a golden guide, so you can't go to any fairy tale hut. Originally, you could have chosen my mushroom hut, but I am a senior resident and have the right to refuse your request to enter the hut."
Chen Lin watched the other party gloating about his misfortune and had no reaction.
He has already figured out that the other party's purpose is to let him represent the other party's Mushroom Hut in the story contest.
The big mushroom he saw in the Broken Arrow scene was what the other party used to select replacement candidates.
If so, then the special soul may have some kind of bonus to the performance in the story contest.
"What do you want me to do, compete in your place?"
I basically got all the information I still knew, and Chen Lin pointed it out directly.
"Uh-huh."
Lilia nodded repeatedly.
"I have participated in story contests too many times, and I really have nothing to say. The preferences of those little brats are really hard to understand. Every time I am ranked at the back, and I have to use gold nightmare coins to exempt myself from punishment. My family fortune is almost gone.
It was fined."
"So this time, my noble Lord Baron can only help Lilia!"
"whee."
Lilia smiled and made an elegant gesture.
Chen Lin's mouth twitched.
No wonder the opponent looks down on ordinary nightmare coins. It turns out that the fine for the story competition must be paid in gold nightmare coins.
"I don't know how much the fine is. What will happen if I can't get it?"
Chen Lin continued to ask.
He didn't think he could tell a good story, so he had to determine the intensity of the punishment and then decide whether to participate in the story contest on his behalf or directly enter the fiefdom and escape from here.
"The lower the ranking, the greater the fine. At least one gold nightmare coin. If you can't get the fine, you can only become a puppet and provide entertainment for the guests who come to Fairy Tale Town. When you have earned enough fines, when will you pay again?"
