Chapter 632: Lanchi's Professionalism
Chapter 632: Lanchi's Professionalism
In the central courtyard of the Golden Bee Amusement Park, a fantastical space unfolded, illuminated by the park's lights reflecting off a gigantic magical apparatus, creating a dazzling and mesmerizing display.
Even Boss Cat was familiar with this kind of device.
The artificial shadow world terminals used for commercial purposes in the Southern Continent weren't as expensive as those used for combat training. They were primarily employed for research, entertainment, and lifestyle services.
It resembled the artificial shadow world terminal on the seventh floor of the Learning and Education Building at the Academy of Ecclesiasticism, with its casing crafted from mithril and magic crystals, the connections between them like icy veins pulsing with magical energy, though not as extensive as the one at the academy, which stretched for several meters.
The last time Lanchi helped Loren and Giuliana play matchmaker, he brought Boss Cat to that very place, where they embarked on a Frostbite Prison Trial with the top student of the Royal Academy of Yalloran, wagering on Loren's fate.
"Oh? So, you two are also here to participate? Well then, get ready."
The event manager, dressed in a Golden Bee costume, smiled and gestured for Lanchi and Talia to proceed through the gate.
Initially assuming that the pair were troublemakers, the manager now realized that they were probably here to secure a spot, as they seemed to know each other.
"The couple behind you will have to wait for the next round, I'm afraid."
The event manager addressed Loren and Giuliana, who were next in line.
"No problem," they both replied.
They had planned to spend a leisurely evening here, so they weren't in a rush. Watching the show together was more appealing than participating.
Lanchi placed the little black cat on the ground and gave Boss Cat a glance before striding resolutely towards the gate, his tall figure towering over the small feline.
"Meow..."
Excitement rippled through the Golden Bee Amusement Park, with voices echoing from every corner.
"Someone's challenging the Love Obstacle Corridor Academy again!"
"This is my favorite show! Quick, let's get some midnight snacks. This is perfect for a fun night in!"
There wasn't much time for preparation.
The event manager used a secret key to open the Void Gate of the terminal.
"This entertainment shadow world requires the consent of both parties to enter and leave. There will be brief breaks between each challenge, during which the parties can discuss whether to continue or exit," the manager explained, outlining the rules of the shadow world.
Lanchi and Talia stood before the vibrant void gate, its colors shimmering.
They exchanged a glance, each seeing a hint of tension in the other's eyes, despite their limited interactions.
However, they were both certain that the other possessed something they desired.
"Let's just do a few rounds and then get out," Talia whispered.
All she needed to do was show Miss Zhu Zhu the dangers of this game, and her mission would be accomplished.
"Sure," Lanchi nodded in agreement.
The game's dangers were specific to couples, and he and Talia were merely friends, so there was nothing to worry about.
Both experienced in shadow worlds, Lanchi and Talia needed no further explanation. They stepped through the vibrant void gate together.
Suddenly, the central courtyard fell silent, as if all sound had been muted.
The gazes of tourists waiting outside the various attractions converged on the magical screen.
The screen flickered with dazzling lights, revealing a dimensional space akin to a temporal tunnel, before briefly plunging into darkness.
"Let's take to the skies and jump!"
"Your worries will vanish with each leap!"
"Nothing beats the thrill of the dance!"
"Fear not, for I am your destiny's diva!"
As the upbeat, disjointed music played, the curtain rose once more, revealing the Shadow World: Love Obstacle Corridor Academy.
The real world gradually faded, replaced by a vibrant, colorful doodle-filled space.
It resembled a classroom, a stage, and at times, a jumping platform, with the ground and sky constantly shifting, pixelated blocks and dynamic scrolling backgrounds appearing out of nowhere.
Within this spacious classroom, Lanchi and Talia sat side by side, each holding a small blackboard and facing the camera.
In this moment, they were transformed into a youthful, stylish pair, wearing matching school uniforms, and looking at each other with confused expressions.
Even the simplest of movements and touches on their blackboards created exaggerated light effects, sound effects, and visual symbols.
If not for the game-like fantasy elements, they could have passed for childhood sweethearts attending the same school.
"Oh my! Are you two ready?"
Suddenly, a cartoon bee fairy appeared in mid-air, spinning around before addressing them.
Simultaneously, outside the shadow world, the event manager held a microphone and echoed the same words from the stage.
As the host, he could connect with the participants inside the shadow world and initiate conversations.
Additionally, the professional director of Golden Bee Amusement Park frequently switched the camera feed between the shadow world, the event stage, and the audience, providing a situational comedy-like experience for everyone.
"Let's begin."
In the doodle-filled classroom, Lanchi and Talia nodded slightly.
They had already seen the brief rules of this shadow world appear before them—
[The small blackboard magic devices in your hands will reveal the most truthful answers from your hearts.]
[In the Love Classroom, you will be asked questions alternately, and sometimes both of you will be questioned together.]
[The suffixes 'Male' and 'Female' indicate which party should answer, and 'Male & Female' means that both must answer.]
[Passing the fourteenth question will lead to clearing the game and receiving the top prize.]
[Note: The questions are randomly selected from a question bank and can be multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, or true-or-false. The further you progress, the higher the danger level of each stage.]
[Note: If you are found to be pretending to be a couple, you will be disqualified and ejected from the game.]
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously.
If a couple didn't participate in this activity, there was little risk of an emotional breakdown, and the chances of societal death were slim.
Thus, there had been previous attempts to bluff one's way through, only for the host to quickly catch on that they weren't a couple and disqualify them from receiving a reward.
However, Lanchi and Talia weren't here for the reward; they were here to cause a ruckus.
"It seems our challengers are quite confident. Let's wait and see what exciting performances they have in store for us!"
The host's voice, mixed with music, instantly heated up the atmosphere near the central courtyard of Golden Bee Amusement Park.
Within the shadow world, the cartoon host flipped over a card and glanced at it.
"The first question seems to be an easy one, just to get you familiar with the game mode."
He tossed the card, and the first question appeared at the top of the magic screen, right in front of Lanchi and Talia—
[First Question (Male & Female): How many times have you been on a date?]
[A. 0 times]
[B. 1-10 times]
[C. 10-100 times]
[D. More than 100 times]
