Chapter 919: Let's Row Our Little Boats
Buddha Master stood by the riverbank, cursing loudly. As the leader of a gang trafficking human organs and women and children, he naturally didn't quite understand the rules of the Forbidden Zone...
Now, he was one kayak short, and then another.
Of course, it wasn't his fault. Normal people wouldn't have thought of exploiting this.
How could someone steal kayaks in an amusement park?
According to the rules, he definitely couldn't proceed to the next level. If he forced his way, he might very well die.
So, either he retreated, accepting defeat in this level.
Or...wait for the next batch of people's kayaks.
Buddha Master, along with Wang Tou'er, Er Hu, and Doggy's men, totaled over seventy people. According to their agreed-upon plan, they were divided into three groups to hunt down Qing Chen.
They absolutely had to hold onto the Chen Family Demigod's powerful support.
Therefore, Buddha Master still had a chance. Three groups, only two were destined to have enough kayaks.
While pondering, 22 kayaks suddenly appeared before them. He hurriedly said, “Go, go, go!”
A young man behind Buddha Master casually said, “Boss, this mission must succeed. There's no room for failure.
Remember that. Otherwise, it won't just be a matter of going to the Guardians' Union to tread a sewing machine. I'll personally flay you alive.”
Buddha Master was startled, hurriedly nodding, “Understood, understood.”
A group of people drifted down the river. Over ten Chen Family Gene Soldiers were stationed in the three teams, ensuring the teams floated safely on the river.
...
...
Midnight.
In the rapid river, Qing Chen skillfully controlled the direction and speed. Not only did he stabilize himself, but he could even salvage his ‘teammates’ who had fallen into the river, helping them secure their kayaks...let's call these inhuman thugs from the small town teammates for now.
The water ghosts were weak, too weak to be considered an appetizer before his battle with Chen Yu.
If the drifting area was only this difficult, it would be too easy for him.
But he knew it couldn't be that simple.
The river was extremely long. For example, the slide tunnel was 113 kilometers. This drifting river also had no end in sight.
There was no indication of where to dock. No one knew where the end point was.
At this time, someone behind Qing Chen whispered again, “Qing Chen, look behind you…”
He moved the oars expressionlessly, this time ignoring it completely.
The water ghosts in this river seemed endless. No matter how hard he paddled, he couldn't get rid of them.
Until dawn, Doggy shouted from a raft not far away, “Look, lights!”
At the end of the dark river, a lighthouse appeared. Everyone was overjoyed. If this drifting didn't end soon, they would be desperate! Everyone paddled towards the lighthouse, but the red brick lighthouse read: End Point, 50 kilometers ahead.
Qing Chen: “?”
Judging by this lighthouse's nature, this drifting area must have been created by Ren Xiaosu. He just needed to write ‘Surprise, surprise, unexpected, unexpected’ on the tower.
Spit!
Qing Chen continued to paddle forward. The river had calmed down here. He said, “Don't let your guard down. There will be many pursuers behind us. We must seize the initiative.”
Finally, a new lighthouse appeared ahead, and a port came into view.
Everyone landed. Just as they were about to abandon the boats, Qing Chen hesitated for a moment, then turned back, “Everyone, drag your kayaks ashore, and take your paddles as well.”
Doggy was stunned. “That's not necessary. These things are quite heavy. We can't carry them quickly or far. We've been paddling from midnight to noon, we're really exhausted.”
“No,” Qing Chen shook his head, “There are handles on both sides of the kayaks, drag them along, no one can be lazy. If you don't drag, I will hit you.”
!!!
Doggy gritted his teeth and said to his brothers, “Listen up, drag them all.”
This Head of the Qingshi Clan's way of threatening people is so direct; no beating around the bush!
Everyone dragged the kayaks ashore. They saw a stele, which read: “Ginkgo Drifting Paradise, giving you surprises every time you come!”
Doggy complained: “No way I'm coming back again...forget it, can't mention ghosts.”
Then, he stole a glance at Qing Chen.
He saw that there were 23 raised square stones in front of the stele. Qing Chen said, “Walk on them.”
Twenty-three people walked onto the stones. They felt that the stones were warm, instantly evaporating the moisture from their bodies. After soaking in water for 12 hours, and with their clothes dried, everyone felt unprecedented comfort.
The stele suddenly spoke: “Congratulations on clearing the level! Everyone, please note, the area ahead will become a battlefield. Please remember, collision is art.”
What does that mean? Mysterious.
The congratulatory message after each level actually contains a lot of information, but whether you can utilize it is your own problem.
In this amusement park, all information must be utilized, because the person who set up this amusement park would not do anything superfluous.
Qing Chen pondered that the hardest part of the drifting level was actually bypassed by him using a bug.
Normally, a team short of one kayak could only have 22 people here. Therefore, the hardest part was how to reach the end point without loss, over the long two hundred kilometers, with only 22 kayaks. I praise Buddha Master, thankful for nature's gift.
A person nicknamed Buddha Master did many good deeds for the Knight. Truly a compassionate Buddha. {14
The gate's green light had already lit up. Qing Chen carried his kayak over to scan his iris and slowly walked inside. He turned to Doggy, “Choose one unlucky one to stay behind. I don't know if there will be an opportunity to come back and get him.”
Doggy gritted his teeth and looked at one person, “You stay, hide well and don't let the others find you. Don't worry, I'll come back for you.”
After saying that, he also resolutely entered the next unknown area.
…
At 2 pm, Buddha Master also arrived at the end point. Fortunately, there were Chen Family experts; otherwise, they would have all capsized.
Everyone, with weary bodies, landed and stood on the square stones to obtain the clearance qualification.
At this time, Buddha Master lowered his voice and said to the Chen Family expert, “Let's wait, let Doggy's group go in first to scout the way.” {Chen Family expert remained silent for a moment, “Okay.”
Although he had to complete the Boss's instructions, how could he not be under pressure when facing the Master of Daybreak?
One hundred of him wouldn't be enough for the Master of Daybreak.
The Boss's instructions were to keep tabs on Qing Chen and not let him go, putting pressure on Qing Chen, trapping him in the amusement park. The Boss didn't order him to die.
If Qing Chen didn't pass the next level either, he would ambush him along the way, which no one could stand. After everyone dried their clothes, they hid in the woods by the shore.
At 2:30 pm, Doggy's group landed, grumbling, “That bad Buddha Master actually stole our kayaks! I don't know what the next level is...Buddha Master's group should have gone in to scout the way, right? Let's go in quickly. Maybe we can ask Buddha Master for advice.”
The group passed through the gate, walking quickly for more than ten kilometers. Suddenly, they saw a huge race track ahead.
The winding race track was ups and downs, just like the roads in Chongqing, a huge race track that looked like a maze!
And in this race track...were bumper cars commonly found in parks!
Doggy walked in, and after only two steps, he saw Doggy, Qing Chen, and others sitting on more than 20 bumper cars ahead.
Qing Chen was resting with his eyes closed, thinking over and over again about the details since entering the amusement park, trying to connect them.
Unfortunately, there was still too little information. This was only the third level.
When he heard footsteps, he slowly turned to look at Doggy from his bumper car.
Doggy felt his heart almost skip a beat when Qing Chen looked at him...It was too oppressive.
Why is the Boss waiting for him here?
“Buddha...Buddha Master,” Doggy's voice trembled.
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “If I'm not mistaken, there are only two possibilities. One is that they all capsized during the drift, and the other is that they hid in the woods to the left of the stele, letting you scout the way first.
“Don't kill me…” Doggy said.
Qing Chen smiled. “I'm here to play the game, to pass the level. I don't have time to kill a small fry like you. Quickly, get on the bumper car, the game is about to begin.”
But they heard the clear and sweet voice of a girl in the race track: “Please players take your positions. This level is a melee level. The two teams will compete based on their total scores. Hitting the opponent's car on the left or right side earns 1 point, hitting the rear earns 2 points. The winner gets an information reward, the loser can continue playing, but without an information reward. During the game, you cannot leave the car, violators will be eliminated directly.”
Doggy was relieved to hear that the loser would not be eliminated. He looked at Qing Chen, “You really won't kill me?”
“A Knight's word is golden. I won't kill,” Qing Chen said lightly.
Doggy stroked his chin. If you can't leave the car, everyone is driving the same type of bumper car. Even the Head of the Qingshi Clan wouldn't have any advantage.
He led his brothers to the cars. “Let's go, maybe we can win.”
The moment they all sat down, the car's safety belts automatically locked.
Doggy was not panicked but delighted. This made things completely fair; he couldn't leave the car, and neither could the opponent...Your mom!
When Doggy turned to look, the moment the safety belt locked, everyone on Qing Chen's side pulled out a paddle from the bumper car and held it tightly.
“Wait! You're breaking the rules!” Doggy was completely disconcerted. How can you bring weapons? Who plays bumper cars like this?
However, Qing Chen had already noticed that the Forbidden Zone prohibited the use of tools, but only prohibited external tools, not the internal ones!
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to use kayaks in the drift.
Moreover, during the carousel level, the girl's voice said it very clearly: Kayaks are free, please use them with peace of mind. She didn't say "ride' with peace of mind, but "use' with peace of mind! As a pass reward information, the other party was actually reminding him to find all useful tools!
In this kind of place, any word-by-word interpretation is not excessive, because clues and winning chances are hidden in the hints!
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
“The game begins!”
Qing Chen and Doggy's team stepped on the gas, screaming and shouting, turning the steering wheel with their left hand and wielding paddles with their right hand, rushing towards Doggy, looking like they were riding horses into battle.
Doggy was completely overwhelmed, desperately driving the bumper car to escape.
If the gas pedal was slightly slower, the paddle would hit his head with a bang!
If it were according to the game's logic, everyone is locked in the bumper car, ignoring each other's strength. Even if you are a Demi-God, you have to honestly play bumper cars.
Until Qing Chen had paddles in his hand.
A bunch of bumper cars chased each other into the maze-like track, the battle was one-sided from the beginning.
Doggy shouted, “Scatter!” With a hum, 22 bumper cars dispersed into various branches.
Doggy chased after Doggy, wielding his paddle and screaming wildly, “I'll get you for selling me out! I'll get you for selling me out!”
Doggy sneered. At this moment, a lurking bumper car suddenly charged from the side and hit Doggy's bumper car!
10 points!
However...Doggy didn't care at all. After being ambushed, he didn't run away. He even directly let go of the steering wheel, grabbed the paddle and beat the thug who hit him. {1} The thug had a huge bump on his head and reversed his car and ran away.
Honestly, they really didn't expect that children's bumper cars could be played so bloody and brutal.
Who came up with this?!
Doggy didn't think about fighting back anymore. Just run when he saw the paddle. If he runs away, he might still have a life to go back, but if he doesn't, he'll die in the car.
Three hours passed, the scoreboard in the race track showed that Qing Chen's team scored 3560 points, and Doggy's team scored 110 points. {1} China's football team didn't lose so badly to Brazil.
Ding!
“Qing Chen's team wins, congratulations on clearing the level! The team leader can listen to the reward information under the scoreboard! The highest scorer in this game: Qing Chen, 1310 points! You can listen to additional reward information under the scoreboard!”
With a click, the safety belt was released. Qing Chen came to the scoreboard.
The first message: “Please remember, the swing may randomly throw out a visitor!”
What the heck is randomly throwing out a visitor...
The second message: “The roller coaster area is not to the left of the haunted house, but to the right!”
Qing Chen pondered. The swing information could probably be used soon, but the latter information was strange.
The visitor's notice clearly stated that the roller coaster area and the haunted house area did not exist, but it also reminded what to do if you saw these two areas. {1} Now, the reward information actually negated the information in the visitor's notice!
This is...a rule paradox?!
Which piece of information should he believe? Does the roller coaster area really exist?
At this time, Doggy came over.
Qing Chen calmly asked, “Feeling better?”
“Feeling better.”
“Where are they?”
“They are still locked in the bumper cars. The amusement park didn't release them. It seems that if they don't wait for the next team, they will be stuck there to death,” Doggy said.
The teammates around were shocked. If there is no next team, just starve to death in the bumper cars, which is also cruel.
“Should we kill them?” Doggy asked.
“No.”
Doggy asked, “You could have easily killed them with one blow just now. I'm curious why you didn't.”
Qing Chen looked at him calmly, “Because that water ghost is still on my back.”
