[Happy Kids Swimming Pool 2] The instance gets harder, and Chen Han narrowly escapes!

At last, the time reached 00:00.

The instant it reached 00:00, every player's clothes changed.

The men wore only swimming trunks, while the women wore short-sleeved shirts and shorts.

They were equipped with fluorescent yellow swim caps and fluorescent yellow goggles.

A ticket for Happy Kids Swimming Pool also appeared in everyone's hand, presumably for the upcoming ticket inspection.

Chen Han actually hadn't swum in a long time, but he had at least learned as a child.

He wasn't a complete beginner.

Since the system had automatically changed everyone into swimwear in this instance,

they would definitely have to get into the water soon.

That made knowing how to swim crucial.

Chen Han guessed there would definitely be plenty of traps ahead, and the slightest carelessness could cause a player to drown.

His Cat Paw Badge also began to take effect.

[Effect: After use, negates the hunger debuff in rules horror scenarios and increases energy by 20%.]

He immediately felt energized.

He felt absolutely bursting with energy now, as though he had returned to being seventeen or eighteen in an instant.

An electronic screen popped up from every player's watch.

Only the wearer could see their screen, so Chen Han couldn't see what was on anyone else's.

[Welcome to Happy Kids Swimming Pool. You will enjoy the finest swimming experience here. For the sake of your swimming experience, please read the following rules carefully.]

[1. The area within the fence constitutes the swimming pool premises for this visit. Once you enter, do not leave before dawn, no matter what happens.]

[2. While waiting for ticket inspection, do not engage in any verbal communication with the children.]

[3. After entering the swimming pool premises, please proceed to the ticket inspection area to have your ticket checked. After confirming your identity, the ticket attendant will hand you your ticket. Please trust them.]

[4. You must enter the pool. Once inside, you must not leave, or you will face severe punishment.]

[5. If anyone at the swimming pool challenges you to a swimming race, you must not refuse under any circumstances.]

[6. The swimming pool will experience a power outage once every hour. Do not keep company with the darkness, and always watch for places with light.]

[7. If any problems arise during a power outage, you may ask a child for help. He knows a great deal. Do not trust the lifeguard.]

[8. Do not believe anything the children say. They are full of lies. If any problems arise, please ask the lifeguard for help.]

[9. The lifeguard may be asleep. He has a bad temper, so please do not wake him lightly.]

[10. Please leave the pool before dawn.]

These rules were considerably longer than those in the previous instance, Happy Family.

It seemed this instance really was much harder than the last.

After reading all the rules, Chen Han had a general understanding of what would happen next.

First came ticket inspection, followed by heading to the pool.

Rules 2 and 3 were the ones that actually concerned the upcoming ticket inspection.

Rule 2 revealed that children would appear, though there wasn't a trace of them yet.

Rule 3 said they could trust the ticket attendant. Although that didn't guarantee he was a good NPC, at least he wouldn't suddenly attack anyone.

Everyone gradually headed toward the ticket area. Since they all had tickets, they only needed to have them checked, not buy any.

Within those few seconds,

the teasing laughter of children suddenly rang out.

The sound came from outside, accompanied by skipping footsteps.

It sounded quite jumbled. There were probably several children.

The sounds drew closer and closer to the swimming pool, until the group of children appeared right in front of Chen Han and the others.

There were about four of them, and the oldest couldn't have been over ten.

There were two boys and two girls, and the colors of their clothes made them easy to tell apart.

They wore red, yellow, blue, and green respectively.

The tallest was under 1.5 meters.

Even the shortest was 1.3 meters.

Their height wasn't particularly threatening, but just from their faces and expressions,

Chen Han could pretty much confirm that they were brats.

The children's arrival didn't thaw the atmosphere. Instead, it grew tense.

Rule 2 had specifically warned them not to communicate verbally with the children.

Everyone therefore acted as though facing a formidable enemy, pretending not to see them.

Just then, Chen Han keenly noticed the ticket attendant's expression freeze for an instant.

His brows furrowed.

It seemed the ticket attendant didn't get along very well with the children.

The blond-haired man rushed to take the first spot.

He was followed by the middle-aged woman, the girl with the high ponytail, and Chen Han.

The man in his forties brought up the rear.

Chen Han had deliberately taken the second-to-last spot. The first and last positions were usually the most dangerous.

And the farther back he stood in line, the more he could observe.

The ticket attendant checked tickets quite quickly.

He basically just glanced at each one, then marked it with the swimming pool's special stamp.

The livestream's bullet comments started pouring in too.

"I feel like there's something wrong with these kids. They look like they're full of nasty tricks!"

"Of course there's something wrong with them. They're definitely going to stir up trouble!"

"I'm so curious. Who's going to be their first victim?"

Suddenly, one of the children, dressed in yellow, moved.

He first studied everyone's backs, then selected his first target: Chen Han.

He charged toward Chen Han.

But to his surprise, just as he was about to crash into Chen Han,

Chen Han happened to crouch down to tie his shoelaces.

The child in yellow immediately fell flat on his face.

He let out a scream.

"Aah!!!"

Everyone jumped at the scream, but none of them openly looked to see what had happened to the child in yellow.

They only watched discreetly.

What they saw gave them a fright. The child in yellow had struck his teeth against the ground and was bleeding.

Together with his screams, it was downright creepy.

Meanwhile, Chen Han quietly stood up after tying his shoelaces.

He looked as though nothing had happened.

It was none of his business, so he stayed out of it.

The sudden turn of events also sent the bullet comments exploding.

"Hahaha, I'm dying! Why do the supernatural entities in this instance seem kind of stupid?"

"Has Boss Chen Han already started showing his skills?"

"What skills? His shoelace just happened to come undone, so he crouched down to tie it!"

"Exactly! It's not like this guy has eyes in the back of his head. How the hell could he see anything?"

Li Chen was watching Chen Han's livestream too, of course.

He had been planning to go to sleep, but he hadn't expected Boss Chen Han to suddenly start streaming again at this hour.

Overcome with excitement, Li Chen grabbed the coffee powder from his bedside table and poured it straight into his mouth.

He wasn't sleeping tonight!

Seeing people dispute Chen Han's ability, Li Chen curled his lips into a smile.

These people were still too naive!

Now it was his turn to set the record straight for Boss Chen Han.

"Boss Chen Han's shoelace wasn't even undone. He deliberately crouched down to tie it."

"As for Boss Chen Han not seeing the kid's movements? What a joke. The kid's movements were reflected right there on the floor. From Boss Chen Han's angle, he could see them perfectly!"

Li Chen's step-by-step reasoning stunned the bullet commenters.

"Holy shit, I really didn't think of that!"

"You can see reflections on that floor? What genius would look at the ground for no reason?"

"Is this young guy really that good?"

"I'm on my knees. The boss has shown us up again!"

"I still don't think I believe it. I'll keep watching for a while!"
