"That task was really not easy to complete."
Strawberry Cake unscrewed the purified water Fang Xinhan had gotten from the vending machine and started drinking it.
She had gone to great lengths to prevent the cannonballs from hitting the pirate ship, and now she could finally take a breather.
However, just as they were about to rest, a couple approached Ji Zi, asking her to take a photo of them together.
Ji Zi recalled the rules and told them it was no problem.
The couple then handed Ji Zi a camera. She aimed the lens at them.
Only the couple was in the camera's view, no one else; the number of people was correct.
Ji Zi pressed the shutter button, then handed the camera back to the couple.
After a while, the four had recovered some of their stamina and magical energy, and they decided to try a second attraction.
After analyzing the pros and cons, the four decided to go on the Ferris Wheel.
As a sightseeing attraction, the Ferris Wheel only required them to sit and enjoy the view; there shouldn't be any danger, right?
The four arrived at the base of the Ferris Wheel, where the rules were posted nearby.
Ferris Wheel Rules:
Rule 1: There are no safety issues during the operation of the Ferris Wheel. Please do not open the windows while riding.
Rule 2: When the Ferris Wheel reaches its highest point, there will be a fireworks display. At this time, no matter what happens, it is safe. Please do not worry.
Rule 3: If the Ferris Wheel stops mid-air, please do not panic. Immediately 【LOCK】 the doors and windows and 【STAY】 in your current cabin.
Rule 4: Each cabin can only bear the weight of two people. If it is overweight, the cabin will fall.
Rule 5: No visitors are allowed to fly within the scope of this facility.
"There's red text."
Ji Zi immediately noticed the red-highlighted words "【LOCK】" and "【STAY】" in Rule 3.
"This red text should be wrong."
Fang Xinhan compared Rule 1 and Rule 3 and drew a conclusion.
"Rule 1 says there are no safety issues during the 'operation' of the Ferris Wheel.
But Rule 3 says if the Ferris Wheel 'stops,' it's clearly no longer operating at that point, so there might be safety issues."
"But what if we stop very far from the ground? Even if we are players, we can't jump down from dozens of meters high and be unharmed, right?"
Ji Zi asked.
"Then what do you think Rule 4 means? Isn't it just telling you to jump to cabins with no more than two people when Rule 3 is triggered?
Of course, as players, we also have life-saving trump cards, but it's a pity that flying is not allowed within the Ferris Wheel's range."
The group discussed for a while and finally decided that Fang Xinhan and Strawberry Cake, a Level 18 and a Level 15 player, would form one group, and Ji Zi and Fang Nuannuan, a Level 7 and a Level 22 player, would form another group. The two groups each boarded separate cabins.
This distribution at least made their average levels seem not too different.
After boarding the Ferris Wheel, the Ferris Wheel slowly began to turn.
Since the Ferris Wheel was operating, Fang Xinhan, with nothing to do, looked at the scenery outside the window; the entire amusement park was enveloped in a black mist.
Below were adults and children playing.
Their chattering noise seemed to tell them: this is just an ordinary amusement park.
The four slowly ascended in the Ferris Wheel. Fang Xinhan and Strawberry Cake started chatting, from dungeons to anime, their mouths never stopped.
Meanwhile, in the other cabin, Fang Nuannuan and Ji Zi sat opposite each other, both silent, just looking at each other.
"The Captain seems quite interested in this lady. Could it be that he wants to pursue her?"
Fang Xinhan: Your thoughts seem a bit too dangerous.
Ever since Fang Xinhan obtained the Machine Block mod, he had created many puppets to help with the construction of the Hyperion.
Fang Xinhan even asked Ji Zi to call him Captain. Ji Zi didn't mind being called that; after all, being called 'cool' or 'boss' all the time made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"This Wu Liangta Himeko seems to be the real one, I remember Hanhan seems to like her very much. Should I get a group photo or an autograph?"
Fang Nuannuan was still thinking about her younger brother, debating whether to get a group photo or an autograph.
Time slowly passed, and the four finally reached the very top of the Ferris Wheel.
At this moment, fireworks began to go off outside, but these fireworks were quite close to the Ferris Wheel; some sparks even hit the cabin.
Fortunately, they had followed the rules and not opened the windows.
However, as long as they acted according to the rules, even ordinary people would be fine.
No matter what happened, as long as the Ferris Wheel was still operating, they would be safe.
After passing the highest point, their cabin began to descend.
The descent was as slow as the ascent.
However, Fang Xinhan gradually felt something was wrong; the Ferris Wheel seemed to be slowing down more and more.
After a period of time, the Ferris Wheel slowly stopped.
Then, the four players felt something staring at them inside the cabin, and then blood began to seep out within the cabin.
"Go!"
Before Strawberry Cake could react, Fang Xinhan grabbed her with his left hand. Fang Xinhan kicked open the cabin door with his right foot.
Then, Fang Xinhan quickly locked onto an empty cabin and leaped onto it.
Fang Nuannuan and Ji Zi also jumped out of their cabin, though Fang Nuannuan was carrying Ji Zi in a princess carry.
When Strawberry Cake came to her senses, she found herself and Fang Xinhan already standing on an empty cabin of the Ferris Wheel.
"The cabins below, don't jump on the ones with two people. Jump onto those with one person or empty ones."
Fang Xinhan said to the others.
However, as Fang Xinhan was speaking, two dark shadows condensed from the cabins they had just been in.
Then they began to climb down towards the group.
"You all go first, I'll try to hold them off."
Then, a… fluorescent light tube appeared in Fang Xinhan's hand?
"Can you do it?"
"A man can't say he can't."
Fang Xinhan leaped to the cabin above, combining One-Yang Finger and Lion's Roar Skill, and roared at the two dark shadows:
"Come here!"
Fang Xinhan used the skill Taunt. The two dark shadows paused for a moment, then fell into a frenzy; the effect was excellent.
Then Fang Xinhan used Star-Treading Steps to continuously toy with the two dark shadows.
After confirming that the three women had landed on the ground, Fang Xinhan leaped to the very top.
Then, he forcefully pushed off with his legs, performing a jump that rotated like a bullet, followed by a Leap of Faith action.
Fang Xinhan spread his arms, faced the ground, and then made a confident leap.
The two dark shadows were dumbfounded: "No, buddy. There's no haystack below, not even a trash can. What Leap of Faith are you playing at? Do you think you're an assassin or a Harland Superman?"
Fang Xinhan was seen doing a 360-degree spin in the air, then a bucket appeared in his hand.
The moment he touched the ground, Fang Xinhan, with quick reflexes, placed water, and he stood in the water, completely unharmed.
Fang Xinhan: This is the skill of an old Minecraft player.
(P.S.: No one wants to see me in women's clothing, right?)
