260: Chapter 260: The Hidden Rules of the Amusent Park
Although Xu Huo didn’t eat candy, Yan Jiayu loved it and kept stuffing one piece after another into her mouth, sharing the delicious experience with her stuffed rabbit while munching away.
The stuffed rabbit, which initially sat on the sofa, gradually ended up kneeling at the table, resting on the edge, and staring at her with eager eyes.
Ti had long passed the ten-minute mark, yet the stuffed rabbit hadn’t forcibly snatched any candy.
“Since we’re bound to lose this ga anyway, why don’t you just declare us the losers?” Xu Huo said at this point, “Save us so ti.”
The stuffed rabbit was unwilling, “How can I declare the visitors have lost when the ga hasn’t even started?”
“That’s too bad.” Xu Huo shook his head, “You can’t play ‘paper,’ and you aren’t willing to declare our loss, so you can only watch us eat all the candy.”
The stuffed rabbit slamd the table and rose, glaring angrily at him, “Then hurry up and play the ga with !”
Xu Huo laughed, “I feel safer staying inside the cabin than going outside, especially since you can’t just end the ga whenever you want.”
“You’re driving
mad!” The stuffed rabbit turned and ran to the fireplace, grabbed the decorative axe above it, and charged at Xu Huo in two strides, raising it to chop down at his face!
Xu Huo dodged to the side, the axe struck the floor, creating a large pit, then was easily pulled out and unleashed another relentless attack.
Human and rabbit chasing each other around the room, the stuffed rabbit wielded the axe competently, smashing almost everything breakable inside the cabin, and seeming increasingly frenzied from not being able to injure Xu Huo, its voice growing more irate, “I’m going to kill you!”
The stuffed rabbit, axe in hand, cast shadows as it darted around the cabin, while Xu Huo held his sword but didn’t make a move, simply parrying when necessary.
“The instance rules say that staff can’t be hard during the tour,” Yan Jiayu stayed by the table as Xu Huo and the stuffed rabbit tacitly avoided her area, “but I don’t think it says anything about not being able to during the ga.”
Hearing her words, the stuffed rabbit hesitated for a mont, then stepped back, short of breath, “If you don’t follow the ga rules, you’ll be subject to severe punishnt!”
“It’s lying!” Yan Jiayu grabbed the stone stick.
Yet Xu Huo said, “How could we do such violent things in an amusent park?”
He sheathed his sword, and said to the stuffed rabbit, “How about this, you concede the ga and let us win, and I’ll give you so candy.
What do you say?”
This offer was viable, and the stuffed rabbit hesitated there for a while before asking, “How much candy will you give ?”
“Five jar candies.” Xu Huo replied.
That won’t do, at least ten,” the stuffed rabbit refused.
“Four.” Xu Huo lowered the offer.
“Then nine!” the stuffed rabbit quickly said.
“Three.” Xu Huo further decreased it.
“Eight…
no, seven, can’t be any less…” the stuffed rabbit’s speech was interrupted before finishing, “Two.”
The stuffed rabbit, infuriated, scread and hopped about cursing Xu Huo, “You’re a dishonest adult, you bully children, you said five and now it’s two, you’re a bad guy!
Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy!”
Amid the sharp cries, an invisible force surged out of the wooden cabin; while the items inside only trembled, the giant rabbits that were gathered outside the cabin instantly burst into puffs of blood mist, not one escaped.
“You set the ga rules yourself, don’t you want to abide by them?” Xu Huo ignored the plush rabbit’s screams.
The plush rabbit imdiately shut its mouth.
Unable to express more with its doll-like body, it still stomped its feet furiously until Yan Jiayu handed it so sugar to calm it down.
After stuffing the candy into the pocket on its belly, it pulled out several small hats the size of fingertips, “Sister, I like you, so I’ll give you a few more.”
Yan Jiayu glanced at Xu Huo first, and seeing him shake his head, she said, “I only want two.”
“But all these little hats are different, which two does Sister want?” the plush rabbit asked innocently, tilting its head, “Each little hat is unique.”
Yan Jiayu looked at the pink little hats it touched, indeed they were all different: there were tall top hats, short top hats, Duck Tongue Caps, and berets.
Aside from their shapes, she seed unable to discern any other differences.
“Do the fifteen hats need to be of different types?” she asked, directing the question both to Xu Huo and to the plush rabbit.
“I’m just a rabbit, how would I know so much?” the plush rabbit laughed.
Xu Huo walked over and patted the rabbit’s head, randomly picked two hats, and asked, “Is there a place where candy is sold?”
The plush rabbit ran away from under his hand, hopping and jumping to the door, pointing to another path that appeared in front of the wooden house: “Go check out the Mirror Tent over there.”
After it spoke, it hopped out of the wooden house, and not far away, candy wrappers began to flutter out.
Yan Jiayu picked up the remaining candy, walked over to Xu Huo, and looking at the different-shaped hats in his hands, she said, “Does the key to clearing the stage have nothing to do with the shape of the hats?”
“It’s not clear yet, but judging from the rabbit’s behavior, getting the little hats doesn’t seem difficult.
If it’s just about getting fifteen hats, there’s no need for ten ga points.” Xu Huo examined the small hats inside and out but didn’t find anything resembling a mark.
He paused and then said, “However, taking fewer is safer than taking more.
The main premise of the ga is not to destroy the Pink Hat, so the extra hats can’t be destroyed and probably can’t be discarded either.”
Yan Jiayu nodded, “I saw that rabbit almost drooling, yet it didn’t forcibly snatch the candy to eat.
Forcible snatching is probably not allowed in this chapter, and whatever it wants must be willingly given by others.”
This is the hidden rule, not explicitly stated, but very much in line with the logic of a child.
If the chapter is based on “voluntary” actions, then forcefully making soone accept the excess little hats would also be considered invalid or a breach of the rules.
That’s why the player who ca in earlier left after failing to deceive.
Xu Huo shared the sa view, saying, “The Mirror Tent isn’t on the guide map of the amusent park’s routes, but since the rabbit pointed in that direction, we can go take a look first.”
“I have no problem,” Yan Jiayu agreed readily.
The two left the wooden hut and followed the guide signs through the jungle to the “Mirror Tent.”
From a distance, they could see a small amusent park scattered among the trees.
Besides the plush animals hustling around, there were quite a few players lingering here.
“Why are there so many people?” Yan Jiayu wondered aloud.
Indeed, there were quite a few people.
In addition to the three players hovering at the entrance, many players were walking around inside the amusent park.
The largest gathering was at a giant tent on the innermost side, where so players were queuing, while others were simply watching the passersby.
But without exception, they all hung the little hats on the outside, even deliberately walking back and forth to make their presence known.
“You guys are new here, right?” Before they even entered, two players imdiately ca over with friendly smiles, “Would you like a copy of the upgraded guide to the amusent?”
