When Lin Sanjiu bent down and took a few deep breaths of air into her lungs, she belatedly realized the sourness rising from every part of her body. In order to escape Santa Claus, she just momentarily
The speed of the explosion was so shocking that even after I stopped, my calves were still shaking.
He set off ten seconds before Santa Claus, but he still almost caught up...
Reva and Zagage had long been separated while running away. They didn't know which road they took, or even whether they were still alive.
Listening to his own breathing, Lin Sanjiu straightened up and glanced across the bumper car arena towards the door.
Santa Claus, dressed in green, stood motionless at the edge of the venue entrance, trapped in the shadow cast by the gate; in the thick green shadow that seemed to be about to dissolve into a piece, a pair of snow-white eyes were glued to his face.
Lin Sanjiu lived there. The door frame covered the upper part of his eyebrows. When his eyes rolled down in the shadow, it seemed as if they were about to roll out of their sockets.
Facing such Santa Claus, Lin Sanjiu's eyes did not dodge to meet him. She raised a corner of her lips, showed him a smile, and then stepped into a bumper car next to her.
Santa Claus suddenly narrowed his eyes and moved his feet, as if he wanted to come in; when Lin Sanjiu mentioned it, he immediately stopped moving.
After the two stared at each other in a stalemate for a few seconds, when the old lady wearing an F1 racing suit powerlessly pressed the start button, Santa Claus finally laughed sinisterly, turned around and disappeared outside the venue gate.
With a sudden breath of air, Lin Sanjiu fell down on the bumper car seat.
Her confident look just now was actually all fake; when Santa Claus turned around just now, her heart almost stopped for a beat.
Although the Starry Sky Amusement Park is prepared for growth types, after all, there are too many ambiguities in the rules: when two adults enter an amusement ride at the same time, the one with the higher combat power will be used as the difficulty standard of the game.
But what if Santa Claus also comes in? Should the level of the growth type be used as the difficulty standard, or should the difficulty level be based on the non-growth type with higher combat power?
If it's the latter, I'm afraid Lin Sanjiu will suffer a big loss first.
When competing against the Starry Sky Amusement Park, Santa Claus probably has no choice but to live or die; but dragging Lin Sanjiu to death before he falls is probably not a problem. After all, the difference in strength between the two is too great.
Great disparity.
Fortunately, Santa Claus didn't understand the situation and took action when he saw her entering the venue. He still didn't follow her...
Now Lin Sanjiu can only secretly pray that Akel's words are true: the reason why she is still alive now is because the effect of Santa Claus's ability ends today; if she must get the "gift" before the end of today
If so, then Lin Sanjiu would be no different from a dead person. Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for Santa Claus to give her "gifts" again.
She had played the bumper car race several times. Without Kurosawa Ji around, it was easier to turn the car around. Lin Sanjiu avoided another bumper car, but her mind couldn't help but turn to another problem.
The green Christmas hat magnet seems to be a special item that can "attract" Santa Claus from other places to the point where the magnet is located. According to Santa Claus' plan, he probably wants to use it to avoid all the amusement rides on the road.
Project, directly reach Lin Sanjiu’s location...
"If I were Santa Claus," Lin Sanjiu said to himself after playing the first game, while using this to organize his thoughts: "...it took so much work to get to this point, and I will definitely not stop here.
Give up. Then...I will probably pick up the magnet next, wait for him at the entrance, change to a growing type, and let him bring the magnet..."
But in any case, after it was determined that Santa Claus's ability was invalid, all of this had nothing to do with Lin Sanjiu, and even the plan of the Growers Alliance Akol had nothing to do with her: as long as she found the doll before these people
Master, ask where the Lou brothers and sisters are. Then Lin Sanjiu can finally escape from this copy of the Starry Sky Amusement Park.
As for the Akol Puppet Master Santa...just let them go dog eat dog.
Probably only Kurosawa Ji would think that this place was a paradise where he could both exercise his fighting power and eat all kinds of sweets.
After the combat power increased, the difficulty of the three rounds of the bumper car game also increased accordingly; but Lin Sanjiu was someone who had beaten the difficulty level of "Kurosawa Ji", so naturally he cleared the entire ride without much effort.
"Congratulations on getting 46 stamina points," the old lady lowered her eyelids and added 20 points as a clearance reward, "... Do you want to change paths next?"
After a pause, Lin Sanjiu became a little interested.
"What road can I switch to?"
"You can go to each of the remaining 11 roads in the amusement park." The old lady always looked like she was lacking vitality, yawning and said: "...but you can only change to the first and second places.
This is the distance between game projects.”
Each of the remaining 11 roads was named after an animal or cartoon character; just from the names, Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell the difference between them at all.
"Then I'll just pick one," she thought a little hesitantly. The last time she saw Acol was on this Frog Road, and now she has lost her magnet, so it probably has nothing to do with Santa Claus, so many things.
It might as well be one less thing and avoid their group: "...the Big Bear Road, ah no, forget it, let's just go to the Swan Road."
The growth type whose head was taken off by Santa Claus came from the Big Bear Road... Lin Sanjiu thought. This is equivalent to saying that the dead growth type has helped her explore the Big Bear Road once.
…
"Okay, switch to the Swan Road."
The old lady's voice repeated slowly. Under her control, the second half of the wall of the bumper car venue slowly opened again. With the rumbling sound, a bright white skylight was cast; a strip of decorative style was obviously different and covered with thin white squares.
The brick walkway stretches out from the field of vision amidst the ding-dong-dong-dong outdoor radio music.
No matter how many times he has experienced it, Lin Sanjiu still deeply feels that the copy is really a magical thing.
On the "Swan Road", even the air smells different. The sweet aroma of cakes, mixed with the delicious aroma of grilled pepperoni, floats far away, and I don't know where the store sells these two snacks.
Where is it? Different from "Frog Road", there are many bookstores, grocery stores and cosmetics stores on this road. It's really hard to figure out what they are used for.
After walking along the "Swan Road" for five minutes, Lin Sanjiu hadn't seen the next attraction yet.
After the battle in the previous two days, she had accumulated injuries all over her body; adrenaline surged during the battle. These injuries were hidden so that she could no longer feel them. Now that she calmed down, it seemed that every step she took was exhausting.
As if gaining strength
"Huh?" After Lin Sanjiu whined several times in her heart, she didn't expect that when she raised her eyes, she saw a store that came just right. "This is...a pharmacy that treats the symptoms but not the root cause?"
Behind a small stall that sells roasted corn, a drugstore with a refreshing blue and white decoration reveals half of its facade, a big blue cross, and the words "Treat the symptoms but not the root cause". It can't be said that it is.
Which one is more conspicuous.
"...Who came up with such a name," Lin Sanjiu muttered and opened the door hesitantly. "Is there really going to be business?"
But no matter what, the business came to her.
The pharmacy is quite clear and clean, with rows of medicine shelves neatly arranged, but no one seems to be there.
"Welcome. May I ask where you feel uncomfortable? What medicine are you looking for?"
Even in the pure touch state, I didn't notice anything strange. Suddenly, a warm greeting came from the corner of the pharmacy lobby; a fat man wearing a white coat and agile quickly got out from behind the medicine shelf, and in the completely still air flow
Inside, he nodded towards Lin Sanjiu with a smile on his face.
...This can't be a human being.
"... If you want to say that I feel uncomfortable, there are many." There were more than one inhuman creature that she saw. Lin Sanjiu responded casually, and glanced around the medicine shelf beside her. At this time, she
The place where I stood was not quite right either. Everywhere I could see there were some things like "Xiongfeng Pills" and "Shenbao Capsules". The prices were very expensive: "...are you a doctor?"
When the fat man heard this, he sighed immediately and started talking nonchalantly: "Well, I just need a doctor. It's so difficult to find a doctor in this poor place... Originally there was one on the road to the Big Bear.
, I don’t know where I went in the blink of an eye..."
While thinking about her injuries, Lin Sanjiu came to the shelf of trauma medicine; she was absentmindedly listening to him. But before the fat man finished his words, she stretched out her hand to take the "Bone Renewal Oil" and suddenly stopped.
"...You said there is a doctor on the Great Bear Road?"
"Yes," the fat man's eyes fell on the bone oil, and he immediately forgot what he had said, and smiled at her: "Oh, this is great. Are there any broken bones in your body? Where are they? Are they ribs?
Oh, so your internal organs have also been shaken, right? Hey, I’m not telling you, as long as you apply this for ten minutes, you can feel the bones growing and connecting again..."
The things sold in the copy are certainly not ordinary medicines.
When Lin Sanjiu realized that what she was holding was a special item, she also realized another very surprising problem.
"Is that doctor...a player?"
"Oh, of course. I know all the people in our amusement park, but there is no doctor. But the doctor probably left and is no longer in the park. If you ask me, you don't need a doctor," the fat man did not give up the promotion.
With great efforts, he enthusiastically brought a small basket: "...Look, to celebrate the new opening of our store, the whole store is 10% off. I only charge you 41 stamina for this bone oil. Is it worth it?"
There was no price tag in this store, but the price the fat man called out happened to leave her with only the ticket price for the next amusement park... Lin Sanjiu pinched the box containing bone oil and squinted her eyes.
She glanced at him and didn't move.
There are so many people in the Twelve Worlds, so it's not surprising that a person with a job as a doctor is here. It's not that she cares about, but the time spent in these few sentences, the message that the fat man leaked between the lines.
"...Ah, 40 stamina points is a bit expensive," Lin Sanjiu took a breath of air, as if he was surprised by the price: "I was going to buy a grilled sausage...after all, I was injured.
It’s impossible not to eat.”
The fat man looked at her longingly, and then at the medicine in her hand, a little embarrassed: "We don't negotiate here... This is already the lowest price..."
"Oh, I didn't say I wouldn't buy it either."
The bone-regenerating oil was dangling in the woman's fingers, but she refused to drop it into the basket. "Boss, where is this medicine of yours? I want it... but it's not very cost-effective to buy just this medicine with 41 physical strength."
, you can give me another ride."
"What are you talking about?" Since Fatty opened the store, this was probably the first time he had seen someone bargaining with a replica creature, and his expression was a bit stunned.
"You just said that there is a player on the Big Bear Road who is a doctor, but now I don't know where he is..." Lin Sanjiu smiled at him: "In other words, even if they are not in the same area, you still know a certain player in the amusement park.
Is this the case with its dynamics and location?"
The fat man's smile was like ice and snow, gradually melting and disappearing from his face; he pursed his lips and stared at Lin Sanjiu without saying a word.
Lin Sanjiu took this reaction as acquiescence and smiled a little wider.
"Since you can know the location of one player, there must be no reason not to know the location of other players, right? Don't tell me that you can only detect doctors... I don't believe it."
"Okay," under her gaze, the fat man was silent for a while, then suddenly his shoulders slumped, "...Which player do you want to ask for news? But you must buy the medicine first before I can tell you.
"
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She guessed it right.
It seems that there is much more to be discovered in this starry sky amusement park than just the rules on the bulletin board...
According to the fat man's request, she bought the bone oil without blinking an eye, and then asked carefully: "...I haven't seen this person for several years, and I don't know what he looks like now. But he
He calls himself the Puppet Master and is a man about this tall... Do you know his position?"
After she described the puppet master's appearance as best as she could, the fat drugstore owner nodded calmly.
