Chapter 4: Novice book (4)
"Excuse me, what's the next tour... performance?" Mu Anqi walked up to the stage, seeing that the red nose didn't speak, and the performer didn't speak, so she took the initiative to ask. She only has 666 Guan Si, which should only be enough to bribe one person, she has to think about it...
"The next performance is the Disaster Wheel" The performer came back to his senses, smiled at her, and waved his arm, "You will be tied to the wheel, with an apple on your head... Of course, the rope It doesn't matter, you can struggle. By the way, I can throw darts correctly, don't worry"
The voice fell, and his arm accidentally fell to the ground. With a sound of "Oops", he bent down and picked up his arm, only to find Mu Anqi's face as usual when he looked up.
Mu Anqi put her arms around her chest, looked down at him, and said lightly, "Wait, I have a more interesting way to play... We can change the roles." She looked like a big boss, but in reality superior-
Money can make a ghost run the mill, start it! All your belongings, press on!
The performer was about to refuse, but he could sense the message from Mu Anqi and 666 Guan Si, and his face froze. He glanced at the adults below without leaving a trace, and coughed lightly: "You say, what is a more fun way?"
"The roles are reversed, I'll throw the flying knife, you go to the turntable."
"...?" The ghost frowned, what's so funny! However, for Guansi's sake, if the lord is not here, he is willing to accept it, but lord... He secretly glanced at the female ghost below.
The female ghost looked at the stage thoughtfully, and nodded her head.
The ghost suddenly felt relieved, grinned and said, "Okay, it's up to you!"
[Ding! Skill activated successfully! ]
Immediately afterwards, Mu Anqi saw her backpack move. She raised her hand to open the zipper, and found that a large pile of Guansi had turned into a big red envelope lying in the bag. Mu Anqi was speechless for a moment, then quickly picked up the red envelope and stuffed it to the performer.
This action was not concealed at all, and the ghosts below booed everywhere. The performer's head can be screwed off at any time, as long as the adults don't blame him, what shame does he need? Without changing his face, he accepted the red envelope and brought Mu Anqi into the backstage.
The turntable was pushed up, and the ghost floated up the turntable slowly, with the apple above his head standing still, motionless. Another ghost in the uniform of the circus staff gave Mu Anqi ten knives, but did not blindfold her.
The curtain was lifted, Mu Anqi was playing with the knife, adapting to the weight of the knife, she tried to shake it, measuring her angle and strength... Even if the target was a ghost, she did not intend to hurt the ghost. A roughly human-shaped radian with ten green dots marked, which is obviously the corresponding area.
However... In addition to the ten green dots, Mu Anqi also saw a very eye-catching and conspicuous red "X".
"Hit the green dot, the game is over. Hit the red cross, and you will get a small gift from the circus after the game is over." The standing ghost tempted: "Maybe it's thousands of Kanji"
"..." Mu Anqi didn't pay any attention to the so-called prize, how about several thousand Guansi? If you can afford the money, you won't be bought off by 666 Guan Si. The ghosts have a way of playing with people's hearts, and they won't give players anything for nothing, so she won't be fooled.
Of course, it's all because she can't afford a second bribe anymore.
Mu Anqi weighed the small knife, and threw it out when the performer was about to continue to seduce.
The audience booed again, and even those players couldn't understand: "There is a reward for hitting red. Since she can do it, why not try it?"
"The newcomer is too timid."
"Why don't you try to kill ghosts? Huh."
…
Mu Anqi couldn't hear these voices. She concentrated on the turntable, and threw another knife, straight through the apple, and nailed it to the green dot behind the apple.
again and again.
Mu Anqi raised her hand to wipe off the sweat, took a few deep breaths and rested for a while before continuing to concentrate on throwing the flying knife—the green dot in the middle!
She is very serious and the process is very slow. The ghosts below were all waiting impatiently, but there was no time limit for this performance, so she prioritized her own completion - ten flying knives, all of which were green dots.
Mu Anqi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tsk, what a... wonderful performance!" The goblin cheered with open arms and jumped down the steps. Then, he walked to the back of the huge turntable and turned hard—
On the back of the turntable, is the man who disappeared during the Great Change! He sewed up his mouth in horror, his face was extremely red, and even had a dark blue color. He was actually tied upside down behind the turntable, and there were actually green dots on the turntable. The performer laughed and snapped his fingers, and the man rolled to the ground.
Only then... the red cross pattern behind him was revealed.
The man was breathing heavily, barely saving his life.
Mu Anqi was a little stunned. She thought it would be a trap or something else. Didn't she expect the ghosts to use this method to be disgusting? To be honest, Mu Anqi really wasn't ready to kill, but fortunately, fortunately, she was cautious enough - she silently turned and walked off the stage, and the lady got up again to give her way. For some reason, Mu Anqi was stared at by the female ghost's eyes.
"Interesting ability." The lady said suddenly.
"!" Mu Anqi's eyes widened, are all the NPCs so smart now? No, this is set? No, no, maybe the ghosts in this game have self-awareness, or they may be real ghosts, but... so frankly speaking of player ability! "...Thank you for the compliment." She replied dryly.
The lady seemed to be embarrassed by her answer. She stared at Mu Anqi with a slightly playful smile, then sat down again, her expression calm again, as if nothing had happened.
An opportunity for interaction ended successfully, although she saved someone else's life... But no one knew anyone, and Mu Anqi didn't want to have any friendship with strangers. As for repayment - forget it. She sat in her seat, watched the stage curtain fall, and finally relaxed.
She's been through an interaction safely, and it should be... over.
It's not too difficult for a novice, right?
The circus was not yet successful. It invited two VIPs and none of them died. The performers seemed a little embarrassed, and the red-nosed clown's nose seemed to be even redder. They interspersed with a cutscene, and pulled the NPC ghosts on the VIP seats to perform a "Wave Bridge" to relax. It should be a visual enjoyment performance, but it turned into a thriller under the rippling head and arms. There is no doubt that this wave came from the corpse factory.
Mu Anqi closed her eyes, her heart was like still water.
However, as soon as she closed her eyes, a voice came from the left side: "Why, do you think these performances are difficult to watch, and they are not worthy of the name of the first circus?"
"Gu." Mu Anqi shuddered, she shouldn't have triggered...
The Lang Bridge on the stage stopped abruptly at this moment, and the broken limbs and heads that followed the "Lang Bridge" rippling fell to the ground, and the "Lang Bridge" also stopped. Full of resentment. And the auditorium of the circus - again as quiet as a chicken.
Mu Anqi almost suspected that all the voice actors were in the audience, and she muted her voice when she was nervous.
"Don't dare, the performance is very exciting. It's just that the lights are too dazzling and it hurts my eyes, so I can't help but close my eyes and rest for a while..." The string in Mu Anqi's mind was tense, and she looked at her face. Calm down, so answered.
The female ghost chuckled lightly, not knowing what it meant. But the circus also recovered at this time. The "Wave Bridge" performance on the stage exited early, the lights of the VIP seats turned on again, and the lucky audience began to be selected.
With the precedent of that man, the male player who was selected this time did not cry for his father and mother, but went directly to the stage. With Mu Anqi's example, the players in the audience all widened their eyes, daring not to take it seriously.
"The next performance is a small game called Burst Poker." The performer exited the stage, and the red-nosed clown stepped on the red ball to the center, and took out a deck of playing cards like a conjuration. On the big screen above the auditorium, the performance on the stage was magnified, so that the audience could also see the cards in the clown's hand.
"The game is very simple. There are no big or small kings in this deck of poker, and this pile...you just draw one from it." The clown grinned, "Don't worry, it's absolutely fair"
The young man hesitated for a moment, and his eyes were a little flustered, maybe because his ability was of no use? He draws a card from it. It is a club K.
The Joker puts the King of Clubs into the deck, and the pile of cards the young man didn't draw is discarded. "Now, there are only four kings in this deck. Four kings are bombs." At this point, there are forty cards.
The clown shuffled the cards with a smile and handed them to the young man: "If you're worried, you can shuffle the cards again. Then... we'll draw cards from each other, draw a card from each other's hand each round, and discard a card except one. Cards other than kings. Once someone collects all four kings, then... this burst poker, it will become a bomb Isn't it interesting?"
"What? What if I start with four kings!"
"Isn't that the best part of the show? Hahahaha...just kidding, how could it be?" The clown laughed.
any luck? Mu Anqi frowned at the high-definition image on the big screen.
"First deal, first deal. You can decide whether you go first or me first."
"You... I will go first." The young man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth. He shuffled the cards several times, and his hands were shaking a little when the cards were dealt. Under the gaze of so many ghosts, he didn't dare to cheat. myself, clown, myself, clown...
Twenty cards were not many, and they were dealt at once.
"Now, the circus has entered the silent moment." The clown reminded with a smile, and then the circus fell into silence. The enlarged screen is divided into two parts, one showing the perspective of a clown and the other showing the perspective of a young man.
Mu Anqi thought that the ghost would do something small, but she was shocked to find that the clown actually had three kings in his hand, and the young player only had one in his hand!
