When Yiliu bent down and inhaled a few mouthfuls of air, Lin Sanjiu finally realized the soreness in her body. In order to escape from Santa Claus, Lin Sanjiu's sudden burst of speed was so fast that even after she stopped, her legs were still trembling.
She had moved ten seconds earlier than Santa Claus, but he had almost caught up to her.
Livia and Zagge had long since been separated from each other during their escape. No one knew which path they had taken, and no one even knew if they were still alive.
Lin Sanjiu listened to her own gasps and straightened her body. She looked past the bumper karts and toward the entrance of the amusement park.
Santa Claus was standing motionlessly at the entrance of the amusement park. He was shrouded in the shadow cast by the entrance. His snow-white eyes were glued to Lin Sanjiu as if they were about to merge into a patch of dark green. The door frame covered the area above his eyebrows. When his eyeballs rolled down from the shadow, they looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
Lin Sanjiu did not dodge Santa Claus's gaze. She curled the corner of her lips and flashed him a smile. Then, she stepped into one of the bumper karts beside her.
Santa Claus narrowed his eyes. He moved his feet as if he wanted to enter the amusement park. Just as Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat, he stopped moving.
The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds. When the old lady in the F1 racing uniform pressed the start button weakly, Santa Claus finally let out a sinister laugh. He turned around and disappeared from the entrance of the amusement park.
Lin Sanjiu let out a deep breath and sat down on the bumper karts.
The confident look on her face just now was all an act. When Santa Claus turned around, her heart almost skipped a beat.
Even though the Starry Carnival Amusement Park was designed for Growth-type players, there were too many ambiguous rules. When two Growth-type players entered the same attraction, the player with the higher combat level would be the standard of difficulty. But what if Santa Claus entered the amusement park as well? Would the difficulty of the attraction be based on the Growth-type player's level or the non-Growth-type with higher combat level?
If it was the latter, Lin Sanjiu would have to suffer a great loss.
Santa Claus would probably die if he fought against the Starry Carnival Amusement Park. However, it wouldn't be a problem for Santa Claus to drag Lin Sanjiu to death before he collapsed. After all, there was a huge disparity between their combat abilities.
Fortunately, Santa Claus didn't understand the situation. When he saw Lin Sanjiu entering the amusement park, he didn't follow her...
Lin Sanjiu could only pray that Aker was telling the truth. The reason she was still alive was that Santa Claus's ability would end today. If she had to get her "Present" before today, she would be no different from a of a dead person. Under such circumstances, Santa Claus would never give her of of his "present".
Lin Sanjiu had participated in the bumper karts a few times. Now that Hei Zeji wasn't around, it was much easier. Lin Sanjiu turned her bumper karts and avoided another bumper karts. She couldn't help thinking about another problem.
That green Santa hat magnet seemed to be a Special Item. It could "attract" Santa Claus to the spot where the magnet was. According to Santa Claus' plan, he probably wanted to use it to avoid all the attractions along the way and directly reach Lin Sanjiu's location...
"If I were Santa Claus," Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself after the first round. She took the opportunity to organize her thoughts, "After spending so much effort to reach this stage, I definitely won't stop here. Then, I will probably pick up the magnet and wait for a Growth-type player at the entrance. I will then ask him to bring the magnet along with him … "
In any case, after confirming that Santa Claus's ability was ineffective, Lin Sanjiu had nothing to do with any of this. Even Aker's plan from Progressor Alliance had nothing to do with her. As long as she could find Puppeteer before that group of people and find out where the siblings were, Lin Sanjiu could finally escape from this Starry Carnival Amusement Park pocket dimension.
As for Aker, Puppeteer, and Santa Claus, she could just let them fight amongst themselves.
Hei Zeji was probably the only person who would think that this was a paradise where he could train his combat ability and eat all kinds of sweets at the same time.
After Lin Sanjiu's combat ability increased, the difficulty of the three bumper karts increased correspondingly. However, Lin Sanjiu was someone who had cleared the "Hei Zeji" difficulty level. Naturally, it didn't take much effort for her to clear all the levels.
"Congratulations on obtaining 46 Stamina Points," the old man lowered his eyelids and added 20 points to Lin Sanjiu. "Do you want to change your route?"
Lin Sanjiu paused for a moment. Her interest was piqued.
"Which route can I change to?"
"You can go to any of the remaining 11 routes in the amusement park," the old man always looked lifeless. The old lady always looked lifeless. She yawned and said, "But you can only change to the distance between the first and second game."
Each of the remaining 11 routes was named by an animal or a cartoon character. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell the difference between each route just from the names.
"Then, I'll just choose one randomly," Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment. The last time she met Aker was on this Frog Route. Now that she had lost her magnet, she probably had nothing to do with Santa Claus anymore. She decided to avoid them, "Ursa Major Route. Ah, no, forget it. Swan Route is better."
"That Growth-type whose head was taken by Santa Claus was from Ursa Major Route …" Lin Sanjiu thought. This meant that the dead Growth-type had already helped her explore Ursa Major Route once …
"Okay, change to Swan Route."
The old lady repeated her words slowly. Under her control, the wall at the back of the Bumper Kart Stadium slowly opened up again. Along with the rumbling sound, a white light shone down from the sky. A walkway paved with fine white bricks, which had a different style of decoration, extended out from the stadium. Amidst the tinkling music from the outdoor broadcast, the walkway stretched out into the distance.
No matter how many times she had experienced pocket dimensions, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel that pocket dimensions were magical.
Even the air smelled different on the Swan Path. The sweet aroma of cake mixed with the aroma of grilled spicy sausages drifted far into the distance. Lin Sanjiu didn't know where the shop that sold these two snacks was. Unlike Frog Route, there were many bookstores, grocery stores, and cosmetic stores on this route. Lin Sanjiu couldn't figure out what they were for.
After walking along Swan Route for five minutes, Lin Sanjiu still hadn't seen the next attraction.
After two days of fighting, she had accumulated injuries all over her body. Her adrenaline surged during the battle, so she couldn't feel the pain anymore. Now that she had calmed down, she felt as if every step she took was exhausting.
"Huh?" After Lin Sanjiu groaned inwardly for a few times, she looked up and saw a shop that was just in time for her to enter the shop. "Is this … a pharmacy that treats the symptoms but not the root cause?"
Behind a stall selling grilled corn, there was a freshly decorated pharmacy in blue and white. Half of the shop's facade could be seen from the back of the stall. There was a big blue cross and the words "treats the symptoms but not the root cause". Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell which one was more eye-catching.
"Who came up with such a name?" Lin Sanjiu mumbled as she pushed open the door hesitantly. "Is there really a business here?"
No matter what, her business was here.
The pharmacy could be said to be bright and clean. Rows of medicine shelves were arranged neatly, but it seemed that there was no one in the pharmacy.
"Welcome. May I know where you are feeling unwell? What kind of medicine are you looking for? "
Even in her hypersensory state, Lin Sanjiu didn't notice anything amiss. Suddenly, a warm greeting rang out from the corner of the pharmacy's lobby. A plump man wearing a white lab coat quickly came out from behind the shelves. In the still air, he nodded at Lin Sanjiu with a smile on his face.
"He can't be a human."
"If you want to know where I'm feeling unwell, there are many." "I've seen more than one inhuman creature," Lin Sanjiu replied casually. She glanced at the shelves of medicine beside her. The place she was standing in wasn't quite right. All she could see were "Masculine Wind Pills", "Kidney Treasures Capsules" and the like. They weren't cheap at all. "Are you a doctor?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
When the plump man heard that, he sighed and started rambling, "Sigh, I could use a doctor! It's so hard to find a doctor in this shabby place … There was one in Grizzly Trail, but I don't know where he went … "
While Lin Sanjiu was thinking about her injuries, she walked to the shelf where the wound medicine was placed. She listened to him talking absent-mindedly. However, before the fatty could finish his sentence, her hand, which was reaching for the "bone healing oil", suddenly froze.
"You said there was a doctor in Grizzly Trail?"
"Yes," the plump man's gaze fell on the bottle of oil. He immediately forgot what he was talking about and smiled at her, "Oh, this is good! Do you have any broken bones in your body? Where? Are your ribs? Oh, your internal organs must have been shaken, right? Sigh, you just need to apply this for ten minutes, and you will feel your bones reconnecting … "
Of course, the items sold in this pocket dimension weren't ordinary medicine.
When Lin Sanjiu realized that she was holding a Special Item in her hand, she also realized another shocking problem.
"Is that doctor … a player?"
"Oh, of course. I know all the people in the amusement park, but we don't have a doctor. However, the doctor has probably left and is no longer in the amusement park. If you ask me, you don't need a doctor, "the plump man did not give up trying to promote his product. He enthusiastically brought a small basket over," Look, this is a celebration for our new shop. We are offering a 10% discount. I will only charge you 41 Stamina Points for this bone oil! It's not expensive, right? "
There was no price tag in this shop, but the price that the plump man offered was just enough for her to pay for the ticket to the next amusement park … Lin Sanjiu pinched the box containing the [Bone Oil] and narrowed her eyes at him. She did not move.
There were so many people in the Twelve Worlds Centrum, so it wasn't strange for there to be a doctor here. What she was concerned about was the information that the plump man revealed between the lines.
"Oh, 40 Stamina Points is a little expensive," Lin Sanjiu gasped as if she was shocked by the price. "I was going to buy a grilled spicy sausage … After all, I can't go without food when I'm injured."
The plump man looked at her eagerly and then looked at the medicine in her hand. He seemed a little troubled, "We don't bargain here … This is the lowest price …"
"Oh, I didn't say that I won't buy it."
The bottle of [Bone Replenishing Oil] in the woman's hand did not fall into the basket. "Boss, where's this medicine? I'll take it … but it's not worth it to spend 41 Stamina Points on this medicine. Can you give me something else?"
"Give … give me what?" This was probably the first time that the plump man saw someone bargaining with a pocket dimension creature since he opened the shop, so he was a little stunned.
"You said that there was a doctor in the Grizzly Path, but I don't know where he is now …" Lin Sanjiu smiled at him, "So, even if you are not in the same area, you know the movements and location of the players in the amusement park, right?"
The smile on the plump man's face gradually melted like ice. He pursed his lips and stared at Lin Sanjiu without saying a word.
Lin Sanjiu took his reaction as a tacit agreement, so her smile widened.
"Since you can know the location of a player, there's no reason that you can't know the location of other players, right? Don't tell me that you can only detect doctors … I don't believe you. "
"Alright," the plump man remained silent for a while under her gaze. Then, he suddenly slumped his shoulders, "Which player do you want to know? But, you have to buy the medicine first before I can tell you. "
Lin Sanjiu's heart pounded. She was right!
It seemed that there was more to discover in this Starry Carnival Amusement Park than the rules on the notice board …
Following the plump man's request, Lin Sanjiu bought the [Bone Oil] without hesitation. Then, she asked carefully, "I haven't seen this person for a few years, so I don't know what he looks like now. However, he calls himself Puppeteer. He is a man about this tall … Do you know his location? "
After she tried her best to describe Puppeteer's appearance, the chubby pharmacy owner nodded his head calmly.
"Yes, I know."
