"Next, the reward for the black cat challenger …" The MC's tone was a bit strange. Perhaps the host himself also realized that his tone was not right, so he paused for a moment, adjusted his breathing, and continued, "I'm sorry.
"There are two types of rewards. Let's take a look at the first one."
The MC turned around and revealed a table in the center of the stage behind him.
The reward was on the table. However, it was different from what people expected. They thought there would only be one reward for a reward below 15 points, and it would definitely be a costume. But this time, it was different. There were actually two plates on the table. This meant there were two rewards.
Laplace only got one reward when he scored 13 points. Angor, on the other hand, only got 9 points and two rewards, which surprised everyone.
The MC spoke again, and this time, his words cleared up everyone's confusion.
"Originally, rewards below 10 points wouldn't include the costume reward, but the leader felt that there wasn't much difference between 9 points and 10 points. Moreover, the black cat challenger's performance was worth more than 10 points. So, the leader simply asked me to bring up the rewards of 9 points and 10 points for the black cat challenger to choose from."
In other words, even if he could choose one of the two items, the quality of his reward would not reach 15 points.
To put it bluntly, the ringmaster only gave Angor a costume as a reward.
The reward was not good, but at least Angor had the right to choose.
On the left plate was a black cat costume, which was similar to the other costumes. Wearing it would grant the challenger some of the black cat's talents.
On the right plate was a cone-shaped firework tube.
The host focused on the firecracker. According to the host, this firecracker was called the "Sunshine Cannon". After using it, it could be used to fix the entrance to the "Sunshine Circus" for a month.
It was similar to the special dream gate. As long as the entrance was fixed, the special dream of Sunshine Circus would be here for a month, waiting for challengers to challenge it.
For Angor, the "Sunshine Cannon" was basically useless.
He did not care about the 100% exploration rate. Why would he keep the entrance open for a month? Why would he keep challenging it?
Angor looked around and did not see anyone who wanted to increase their exploration rate.
Then he looked at Laplace and asked if he wanted to increase the exploration rate of the dream.
Laplace, who had been acting like a perfectionist, turned his head away. She could try to increase her exploration of other special dreams, but she didn't want a special dream like the Sunshine Circus that required a performance.
From this, it could be seen that the Sunlight Salute was despised by everyone. It was of little value. No wonder it was a reward with less than 10 points.
Host: "Does the black cat challenger need to think about what to choose?"
He pointed at the black cat costume and said, "I'll take this one. But can you make it a little smaller? "
The host was stunned for a moment. "Huh? Become smaller? "
Angor nodded and gestured with his hand. "About the size of a palm. About the size of a bird."
The black cat costume was useless to Angor anyway, but he could give it to Toby as a gift. Anyway, Toby liked to wear all kinds of strange clothes, so this black cat costume was perfect for him.
The host hesitated and nodded. "Y-yes. Do you want to change the color of your costume?"
"Hmm … Gold." Angor tried imagining Toby's costume in different colors.
Toby's feathers were grayish black, and his tail feathers were bright. However, as long as he remained calm, he would not attract attention. This dark color would go well with either gold or red. But Toby had too many red dresses, so gold was a better choice.
Soon, the host adjusted the color and size of the costume according to Angor's request and handed it to him.
Angor looked at the golden cat costume for a while and put it away in his wonderland space.
Also, Angor noticed that the space inside the item was really inside the wonderland. However, it was deeper inside the wonderland, which was not in the same area as the crystal objects.
Angor sensed the general direction and did not pay much attention to it.
The host continued, "That was the first reward for the black cat challenger. The second reward is a personal gift from me, so I can't show it to you.
"Black cat challenger, please follow me to the backstage."
The host walked to the back of the stage as he spoke.
Everyone understood that this was what the wonderland meant when it said "personal gifts from the host will not be shown to the public".
Angor did not say anything. He stood up and followed the host to the backstage.
They thought Angor would not stay for long. However, he did not come back for a long time.
Half an hour later, their surroundings suddenly became illusory. At the same time, they received a message from the wonderland in their minds.
[All rewards for challengers have been calculated. ]
[You will leave the dream in three seconds.] []
[3, 2, 1.] []
When they read the message, they realized that Angor's second reward had already been calculated. It seemed they would be kicked out of the dream right after the reward was calculated. There was no other way to end it.
If they were not mistaken, Angor should have left the dream together with them.
When they reappeared on the wasteland, they saw Angor standing beside them, just as they expected. However, Angor did not say anything. Instead, he was staring at something behind them.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw that Angor was looking at the rabbit-eared headband that tricked the rabbit girl and all of them.
Perhaps because they had already cleared Sunshine Circus, the rabbit-eared headband was floating in the air and slowly turning illusory as if it was about to disappear into the void.
When everyone saw that the rabbit-ear headband had disappeared, they heaved a sigh of relief. It had disappeared just in time. They did not want to see this thing again.
What they did not know was that Angor did not see the rabbit-eared headband's hidden form. Instead, a large amount of information was gathering around the headband.
It was similar to when Laplace came out of Helen's Dream, and Helen's Dream began to change.
However, this time, the information flow was more complicated, and it contained the rules of Wonderland's Dream Authority.
Even if he could, he was sure that he would be knocked out by the sheer amount of information coming at him. Perhaps it would not last long, but it would be embarrassing to pass out in front of so many people.
Therefore, Angor did not cut off the flow of information.
Besides, based on his experience in Helen's Dream, Angor guessed that since the information flow was gathered here, the challengers would receive the specific information flow later, and it would be simplified.
Therefore, there was no need to check the information flow now.
As expected, when the rabbit-eared headband completely disappeared, a series of "Wonderland Notifications" appeared in everyone's minds at the same time.
[Special Dream — Sunshine Circus. Total score of the relay is 79 points. Exploration progress is 79%.]
[Because the total score of the relay is over 75 points, the special dream "Sunshine Circus" will enter challenge mode. ]
[Challenge mode is fixed as a relay race. Five humanoid creatures will be randomly selected from the outside world every week to challenge them. ]
[Every time a team of challengers completes the relay race, the race track and rules will be changed. ]
[Challengers who have completed the race can choose to become spectators or ignore them. ]
[If there are less than five humanoid creatures who did not pass the race, they can also be recruited from the challengers who completed the race. ]
[If there are less than five humanoid creatures in the outside world, continuous recruitment will be carried out. ]
[Challenge mode will be terminated when exploration progress reaches 100%. ]
After reading this series of information, everyone fell silent ….
Angor sighed in a low voice. "Did we just open Pandora's Box? Random recruitment across the entire realm … "
No one knew what Pandora's Box was, but they could guess what Angor was thinking because they had the same feeling.
"Is there an end to this?" Laplace couldn't help but ask.
"It's fine. We're all challengers, so we can become spectators and watch other people's performances. Maybe we can even give scores to other people, "said Luigi. As the only one who didn't hate Sunshine Circus, he didn't mind the weekly recruitment. In fact, he was looking forward to it.
However, as soon as Luigi finished speaking, Glepnir's voice sounded behind him. "If it's a solo race, Luigi, you can go and have some fun if you like. However, this is a relay race. It's useless even if you get full marks alone..."
"And where are the five humanoid creatures from? How can there be five humanoid creatures in the Dream Crystal now? "
According to the circus's schedule, there would be a new round of recruitment in two days on Monday.
Apart from a small number of "cleaners", they were the only ones in the Dream Crystal.
There was a notice in the fairyland that stated: "If there are less than five humanoid creatures in the outside world who are not challengers, they can also be recruited from challengers who passed the trial." This meant that if there weren't five humanoid creatures in the Dream Crystal within two days, they would be recruited again.
Angor felt a headache coming on.
If it was the wizarding world, he could easily recruit some people to fill the numbers. However, this was the Dream Crystal Plain. In the Wizarding World, it was impossible to pull someone into the Dream Crystal Plain. They could only pull someone into the Dream Wasteland.
If he wanted to fill the numbers, he had to find humanoid creatures in the Dream Crystal.
But Angor wasn't familiar with the environment of the Dream Crystal at all.
Angor looked at Laplace. "There are two more days until Monday. How about I give you a log-in device so you can lure some humanoid creatures in?"
Laplace understood Angor's dilemma. Since Angor wasn't familiar with the Dream Crystal, they had to do it.
It was just that Laplace didn't know where to find them.
Angor said, "They don't have to be humanoid. Laplace, you're not a human either. As long as you can transform into a human and enter the Dream Crystal, you'll be considered a member of Sunlight Circus. "
Laplace's eyes twitched. If that was the case, the range of possibilities was much smaller.
Previously, she had been thinking about finding some Mirror's Wrath to trick them into the Dream Crystal, but now, she had a much wider range of options.
Even the Cyclops Family could enter the Dream Crystal. However, considering the relationship between the Cyclops Family and the Wise Ruler, Angor believed that the Cyclops Family wouldn't be involved in the Dream Crystal for the time being. At least, before he left the underground ruin, he had to draw a clear line between the Wise Ruler and the Dream Crystal.
"How about we lure the Tooth Immortals into the Dream Crystal?"
"If you want those Tooth Immortals to set up their" online shop "in the Dream Crystal, you'd better not do that now."
Angor thought about it and agreed. The Tooth Immortals didn't like the Dream Crystal. Whether they liked it or not depended on their first impression. If the Tooth Immortals' first impression of the Tooth Immortals was that they were "tricked into joining the relay race", they would definitely dislike the Dream Crystal. Even if they could get rid of it in the future, it would still be a thorn in their hearts.
"How about we find someone who doesn't mind joining the relay race?" Angor thought about it and shook his head. "Even if they don't mind joining the race, they won't be able to clear it."
According to the information provided by the Wonderland, the rules of the race would change once a person cleared the Dream Crystal. Angor and the others didn't know about the new race rules.
If the race was too difficult, even if they didn't mind joining the relay race, they would still be locked up in a small black room.
This would definitely hurt the confidence of the others.
Therefore, it would be difficult to choose the first batch of Dream Crystal customers.
"Maybe I can find someone from the real world?" Angor couldn't help but think about how he built Foundation City. Back then, he couldn't find anyone to help him build the city, so he had to find people from the real world who were about to die and bring them into the Dream Wasteland. These people became the first residents of Foundation City.
Every now and then, Freud would drag people who were about to die into the dream wasteland. However, most of them were mortals who were beyond cure, unlike the "dying" Angor used to drag criminals into the dream wasteland.
Angor added, "Or maybe we can drag in any dying creatures in the Mirror Domain."
Just like the Dream Wasteland, the Dream Wasteland could accommodate consciousness entities. Such entities without physical bodies could also become the first residents of the Dream Wasteland.
Glepnir suddenly thought of something. "There are still some humans in the Mirror Domain. And … they're dying."
After Gleipnir finished speaking, Laplace seemed to have thought of something as well. "You mean … Charlie Palace?"
