Prisoners Around the World
(Chapter 260 was originally combined into two chapters, and I forgot to change the chapter number in the original manuscript, so it was directly labeled as chapter 262 when Replication and pasted it. Only the chapter number was wrong, the content is continuous. But the author cannot change the chapter name, I will ask the editor in the next few days if it can be changed.)
Regarding the Iron Legion, Xiao He still has many areas for improvement. For example, he could create a "controller" similar to a VR device, allowing others to operate the Yinglong Robot. This would eliminate the need for him to participate in minor roles, promote the use of Yinglong Robot, and further reduce the threat of Mutator.
Of course, the real reason was that Xiao He could slack off.

"Huh?!" Adner stopped mid-air, glaring at Xie Haining below with bloodshot eyes, and roared in an exceptionally sharp voice, "What did you say?! Are you looking down on me! You despicable bastard!"
"Oh? A hundred isn't enough?" Xie Haining laughed. "Then how about two hundred? Or you can set a number."
Adner gritted his teeth, glaring at Xie Haining and roaring, "Fine, one hundred! If you do that, I'll let everyone else go! But..." Adner then grinned maliciously, "If you don't, I'll devour your soul and turn you into my Joker Clone, to work here forever!"
"Deal," Xie Haining said with a smile, then strolled around the amusement park.
"This guy's abilities are so interesting, I really want to go in and play too..." Xiao He thought to himself, resting his chin on his hand.
Each ride has a ticket gate indicating the number of coins required to start the game. Since it's just starting out, Xie Haining can only choose the games that require "0" coins, which are also the easiest.
"Oh? Does the carousel count too?" Xie Haining looked at the carousel in front of her and asked with interest. The ticket for this ride was "0" gold coins, so Xie Haining sat on the carousel and waited for the ride to begin.
"How do you play this game? I don't understand..." Xiao He shook his head and observed the situation.
As pleasant music began to play, the carousel started to turn slowly, much like an ordinary carousel, except that there was a countdown timer on the central pillar, counting down from "60".
Just then, with a loud "Bang!" Adner suddenly appeared on one of the carousels, grabbed its head, and laughed, "The key is not to get thrown off the carousel before time runs out!" With that, Adner slapped the carousel's rump with a "Ha!" and the carousel began to accelerate wildly. "Let's gallop!"
Xie Haining turned around and sat sideways on the carousel, then crossed his legs, appearing calm and composed. He then leaped onto the innermost carousel horse. No matter how fast the entire carousel rotates, the innermost horses will experience the least centrifugal force.
However, as the carousel accelerated, it soon began to move as well, with the inner horses moving outwards and the outer horses moving inwards. Seeing this, Xie Haining remained calm, leisurely swinging his legs while seated on the horse. At this point, the carousel was moving very fast, yet Xie Haining's body didn't sway at all.
Xiao He knew that this was because Xie Haining was constantly adjusting her center of gravity to cope with the increasing centrifugal force as the carousel rotated. Although Xiao He was getting sick of watching the carousel so fast, it didn't matter much to Xie Haining. Xie Haining stood steadily on the horse's back and then lightly leaped.
But at that moment, the carousel suddenly accelerated, but Xie Haining simply reached out and grabbed one of the carousel's steel pipes, then spun around the pipe like a pole dancer before regaining her balance and easily landing on the back of the inner carousel horse. She sat down again and crossed her legs.
After several repetitions, the sixty seconds were up, and Xie Haining jumped off the horse with ease.
"Congratulations, you've got a gold coin!" Adner laughed, spinning around the carousel. "Next, you'll be able to participate in some rides that require tickets! Rides that require one gold coin will reward you with multiple gold coins!"
A gold coin fell from the sky and landed in Xie Haining's hand. Xie Haining tossed the coin up and caught it, then strolled around the amusement park with his hands in his pockets, looking quite relaxed. Next, he came to a drop tower and observed the amusement facility with great interest. It cost one gold coin, and you could get three gold coins by playing the game.
"Interesting," Xie Haining said, resting her chin on her hand, before getting on the drop tower, sitting down, and fastening her seatbelt.
"Bang!" Adner emerged from the smoke, clapping his hands and laughing, "Next... is the surprise time!"
A normal drop tower ascends slowly but accelerates suddenly during the descent. But this drop tower... as soon as the ride starts, it goes "whoosh!" and rises higher and higher.
Xie Haining remained calm, arms crossed, waiting. Just as they reached the highest point, the drop tower's seatbelt suddenly unfastened! Xie Haining was thrown out by the inertia and flew into the air.
However, at that moment, several parachutes fell from the sky. Xie Haining calmly caught the parachutes, deftly put them on his back, and pulled the opening line. "Whoosh!" The parachutes opened behind him, and his descent speed slowed down instantly.
On the ground ahead, a small "H" mark indicates where to land. Outside the circle, fires and spikes are burning. Clearly, failing to land inside the circle results in game failure.
"This is fucking interesting... I really want to play too," Xiao He thought to himself, clenching his fist.
Xie Haining kept pulling on the parachute lines, carefully adjusting the parachute's direction, as she passed through flames and mountains of knives.
However, suddenly a giant Joker appeared from the side and blew a big breath at Xie Haining. Xie Haining calmly responded, but as he passed a fire-breathing intersection, the heat from the flames blew him into the air again, giving him more room to maneuver. Xie Haining continued to adjust his direction and landed safely on the platform.
Three gold coins fell from the sky and landed in Xie Haining's hands.
"Indeed, this is wonderful." Xie Haining tossed the gold coins in his hand and laughed. A staircase extended from the platform in front of him, allowing him to leave the amusement park.
"Don't get too cocky! This is just the beginning!" Adner said, sitting in his little car and circling Xie Haining. "There are still many interesting facilities to come! Let's see if you can pass them!"
"So, how much longer do I have?" Xie Haining asked, tossing the gold coins in the air.
"You still have some!" Adner glanced at his watch, then shrugged. "Okay, you have fifty-two minutes. I suggest you hurry, because there are many interesting facilities waiting for you to experience!"
"Hmph..." Xie Haining turned around and stopped in front of a "Death Drift" ride.
This game is similar to a regular "river drift" activity, except that instead of a rubber boat, they are sitting on a small wooden raft, which is equipped with props such as harpoons and cannonballs, so it is obviously not that simple.
"This one will do." Xie Haining nodded, inserted two gold coins, and would receive a reward of five gold coins upon completion.
Then, Xie Haining jumped onto the raft, which immediately drifted forward with the current. But after a short while, the narrow stream turned into a wide river, and the raft looked like a swaying leaf in comparison.
Xie Haining steadied himself by holding onto the mast and adjusted his center of gravity with the current, but this journey was naturally not going to be that simple.
"Boom!" A large splash of water erupted around Xie Haining. He turned his head and saw a large number of monkey soldiers wielding cannons on both banks. The monkey soldiers had a cartoonish appearance and looked harmless, but the cannonballs they threw were real.
"Is this what these things are for?" Xie Haining turned to look at the cannonballs on the raft, grabbed one, and threw it at the monkeys on the shore. After a loud bang, the two monkeys were blasted into the air and then fell into the water.
"Hmm..." Xie Haining nodded with interest, then walked over to the pile of shells.
The raft would move forward with the current, so he didn't need to control it. He just needed to stand firm and then attack the monkey soldiers on the shore with cannonballs. Xie Haining calmly rolled up his sleeves and began to throw. He threw one cannonball after another, seemingly without any aiming, but each cannonball landed accurately on the most effective point of impact.
Because the explosion of the shells was localized, Xie Haining could blow up three or four monkey soldiers with each shell he threw, which greatly slowed down the monkey soldiers' harassment and almost prevented a single monkey from throwing a bomb.
The raft moved swiftly forward with the current, bobbing up and down, swaying from side to side, but Xie Haining remained firmly on her feet until...
As the two sides disappeared, the view suddenly widened considerably, revealing an ocean.
The raft gradually slowed down, but the sails on the mast were unfurled, and the boat began to move forward steadily. However, soon a large number of shark fins appeared on the surface of the sea.
"Hmm..." Xie Haining grabbed the harpoon behind him, observed it with interest, and then suddenly thrust it to the left side of the raft. Almost at the same time, a shark pounced out from under the water, saw stars after being pierced by Xie Haining's harpoon, and sank back to the bottom. At this moment, the drifting turned into a game of whack-a-mole.
Xie Haining continued to stun the sharks that broke the surface of the water and followed the sea breeze. Soon, an island appeared ahead. On the island was a glittering golden treasure chest, which seemed to be his destination.
A large splash erupted on the water's surface, followed by the appearance of a gigantic Kraken, its tentacles flailing wildly. However, being a cartoon version of the Kraken, it didn't look frightening. Its tentacles twisted and slammed down towards Xie Haining, creating huge waves that veered off course and derailed Xie Haining's raft.
At the same time, two tentacles entangled themselves around the edge of the raft, slowing its forward speed.
"The final boss?" Xie Haining said, turning his head to grab a cannonball and throwing it, blasting back a tentacle that was about to be raised. At the same time, he raised his harpoon and stabbed a tentacle that was resting on the side of the raft. The stabbed tentacle quickly retracted under the sea, and the raft began to move forward again.
"Use bombs for the tentacles' slapping, and harpoons for their coiling?" Watching Xie Haining deal with the siren's attacks, Xiao He finally understood the game's mechanics. "After we're done, let's capture this guy and let me play a turn too."
As Xie Haining suppressed it, Kraken's tentacles began to break off one by one. Soon, the poor creature cried as it burrowed back into the sea. Xie Haining then slowly rode a raft to the island and opened the treasure chest.
With a crisp "clink," five gold coins landed in Xie Haining's hand.
"Let's go, next one." Xie Haining stuffed the gold coins into his pocket. "Six coins, I have... forty-six minutes left."
After walking for a while, Xie Haining came to an entertainment facility: ring toss. Each ring was tossed with a gold coin, but the reward for each successful throw was three to five gold coins, depending on the prize landed.
"This looks pretty convenient." Xie Haining nodded in satisfaction, then threw in all six gold coins, exchanged them for six rings, examined the value of the various gifts in front of him, and then got into position.
"Okay, that's it." Xie Haining seemed to have made up his mind and threw the first ring out.
But the gifts immediately began to shake, and Xie Haining threw out the second one, then the third, until he had thrown all six rings in a row. The second ring hit the first, the third hit the second, and so on, one ring after another, until all six rings were thrown out.
The rings scattered like petals from a fairy's shower, landing precisely on the six gifts.
With a "ding-a-ling!", two three-gold coins, three four-gold coins, and one five-gold coin appeared, instantly making twenty-three gold coins in hand.
"Can I continue playing?" Xie Haining asked with interest, looking at the batch of gifts in front of her.
Xie Haining counted the gifts, then put in twelve gold coins to exchange for twelve rings.
Twelve gifts received: five two-gold coins, four three-gold coins, two four-gold coins, and one five-gold coin, totaling thirty-five gold coins. Adding the eleven gold coins remaining from before, Xie Haining now has forty-six gold coins.
"Wow, you've made a fortune!" Xie Haining laughed, looking at the large handful of gold coins in his hand. Then he turned to look behind him and asked, "What other fun amusement rides are there?"
