The Night of Eternal Night City
"... You said before that you made these things yourself?"
Seeing the extremely miserable scene over there, Xu Lian, standing about 100 meters away, turned her head with a slightly stiff expression to look at Bai Zhi had somehow taken out a pen and paper and was writing something down.
"Yes, didn't I already tell you? Although this is the first time using it, the Special Effect seems pretty good... but there are still many areas for improvement."
After mentally assessing the Explosion Special Effect of the Toilet Paper Mine, Bai Zhi put the paper and pen back into his Inventory and turned to walk towards them before the amusement park Staff rushed over.
"Alright, it's time to go. What's the point of staying here any longer? At least until tomorrow, no one can gather here. That highly concentrated stench won't be easy to get rid of. Hmm... maybe next time we can consider adding Honey..."
The Stink Bomb he made, combined with Toilet Paper Mine, Special Effect surprisingly well. He had been having some trouble figuring out how to detonate the Stink Bomb, but the Toilet Paper Mine were the perfect fuse. It was worth all the time he spent mixing toilet paper into those Plastic balls all night. He didn't need too much, just enough to detonate them.
Xu Lian: "..."
From that moment on, the Tourist in the amusement park were in for a terrible time. Starting with what happened in that area, the same thing happened one after another in dozens of other places with high foot traffic.
The once bustling and prosperous amusement park now seemed shrouded in the Shadow of a pungent stench...
To deal with the endless Explosion of Explosion, the amusement park Staff were working tirelessly, and for a time, the entire amusement park had to come to a standstill. The Staff looked grim and terribly worried.
After all, you can't expect those Tourist who were treated like Stink Bomb to happily spend money again like before. Some of the more aggressive ones have already started demanding compensation from the amusement park...
Enveloped in this rather eerie atmosphere, night fell silently.
Compared to the amusement park during the day, the amusement park at night is significantly more beautiful. The entire amusement park is brightly lit, and the huge Ferris Wheel in the very center of the park is like a dazzling crystal lighthouse, which is why it is called the city that Eternal Night City.
Meanwhile, in the amusement park at night, a rather strange and disgusting Worm silently emerged from beneath the ground...
These Worm resemble earthworms in appearance, but are dozens of times larger. Their numbers are astounding, and they wander among the crowds like Specter, completely unnoticed by the Tourist.
"I see... I think I know what happens to those who run out of money."
Sitting on the Ferris Wheel, looking down at the rampaging Worm, Bai Zhi exhaled and turned to the Young Girl beside him, speaking.
"... So what did you see this time?"
The Young Girl looked speechless.
She did see the Worm, and she strained her eyes to look down, but aside from nausea and psychological discomfort, she still found nothing.
"Those Worm are the Cleaner of this amusement park."
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Bai Zhi looked down and answered.
"Tourist who still have Gray Coin can effectively prevent attacks from those Worm. However, Player like us who don't have Gray Coin, and Tourist who have run out of money, are the main targets of these Worm. They seem to be quite effective at distinguishing between these two types of people..."
Watching a Player squeeze through the crowd and flee into the distance, Bai Zhi shook his head almost imperceptibly.
"We'd better be careful when we go down. If we get entangled by those Worm, we should take them out as soon as possible... Although those Worm crawling out of the ground are at the very bottom of this amusement park system, acting like Cleaner, if they linger for too long, they'll attract the Staff."
"... I see."
Xu Lian glanced silently at the enormous Worm below, then looked at the Kitchen Knife in her hand, and nodded reluctantly.
To be honest, she regretted not choosing a long weapon.
As she was thinking this to herself, she saw the guy in front of her pull out a Silver White Pistol from somewhere and fire a shot downwards without even looking.
"Hmm... killing a Worm earns about 0.1 points... those points are a bit hard to earn. Maybe I should try killing a Staff instead..."
Leaning against the window, gazing at the scene below, the Handgun in his hand disappeared and then reappeared, as he muttered to himself.
Xu Lian: "..."
It was not a peaceful night.
The Staff of the amusement park and the Player who entered the park engaged in a fierce competition within the park.
Some Staff were killed by West Pavilion Gardener's team or other Player, while some Player were killed by those Staff.
Compared to these things, the Worm spreading throughout the amusement park are really negligible; at least a newbie player could at least bully Worm a little...
It has to be said that the opponent truly lived up to his reputation as a newbie who achieved S-rank rating in the Novice Quest; his performance in battle was incredibly fierce.
Most girls would be averse to these slippery insects that are dozens of times larger than themselves. Let alone killing them, the real problem would be preventing them from screaming.
However, Xu Lian seemed completely unconcerned about such matters. She simply swung her sword swiftly and decisively, without batting an eye or changing her expression... Bai Zhi began to believe that she had indeed fought her way through the Novice Quest.
During this time, they encountered Staff several times. Considering the combat strength of a certain newbie player, Bai Zhi and Xu Lian both boarded the Carousel and engaged in a fierce battle with the other player, lasting five or six minutes...
