Chapter 2917 Swamp Track
After turning on the "Imaginary Physique", Lapras can completely ignore the shift in the center of gravity caused by the big tail.
Without any hesitation, Laplace gathered strength under his feet and quickly rushed to the high point of the ropeway, not forgetting to press the button on the timer midway.
tick, tick
The half-minute countdown, with the sound of the hands beating as a warning, sounded in Laplace's ears.
The ticking sound in her ears did not affect Laplace. She jumped onto the ropeway, leaned forward, and rushed out like sharp arrows with her two slender, fluffy legs.
The legs were exchanged so fast that afterimages almost appeared.
In Angel's opinion, it only took a short second for her to rush into the clouds.
Laplace seemed to be jumping among the clouds. Her body was very light and smooth. At least from her upper body, it was not apparent that she was galloping.
Five seconds.
When Laplace jumped onto the top of another peak with a fleeting appearance, it only took five seconds.
There is still twenty-five seconds left! It can be seen how exaggerated the increase in Laplace is after turning on the "Imaginary Physique".
After Laplace settled down, bursts of cheers immediately sounded from outside the clouds.
No doubt these should be the cheers from the audience.
However, their cheers did not seem to be that loud. Angel thought to himself, could it be that Laplace ran too fast and they had no time to react?
"Oh, look at our silver fox challenger, how neatly and neatly he is finished. His posture is light and swift, really like silver flashes, stirring the heartstrings." The host's voice also sounded.
However, after he finished speaking, there were not many cheers, only sparse applause.
Perhaps seeing that the venue was getting colder, the host began to change the topic and started telling all kinds of absurd and funny jokes in an attempt to heat up the atmosphere.
During the host's monologue, Laplace seemed to be completely forgotten.
Angel is also a little confused about the current situation. Logically speaking, shouldn't the protagonist be the "Challenger Silver Fox"? Why does he seem to be a marginalized person now?
Is it because the audience's response was not enthusiastic? So you want to divert your attention?
But Laplace's challenge was completed beautifully and neatly, so why didn't the audience respond enthusiastically?
When Angel was confused, Laplace suddenly said: "11%."
Angel: "What?"
Laplace explained softly: "After completing the first track, I received a prompt and the exploration level became 11%."
11%? Angel frowned: "If a track is given an exploration degree, and the exploration degree of each track is equal, this exploration degree does not seem to be very high."
The five tracks have a total exploration rate of 100%, and the full exploration rate assigned to each track is 20%. The exploration degree of 11% is indeed not very high.
However, this is just Angel's conjecture, and it is possible that the track exploration is not equally distributed.
But even if it is not evenly divided, 11% should not be the highest score on this track.
Thinking of the lukewarm response from outside audiences, could it be that the degree of exploration completed by Laplace was not high?
But Laplace has clearly completed this track perfectly, and there are still 25 seconds left, so why is the exploration rate not high?
Apart from completing the track, what else does the exploration level of this dungeon have to do with it?
Angel spoke out his thoughts, and after a moment of silence, Laplace said softly: "...Maybe the degree of exploration is related to the second suggestion on the sign."
Set up a sign? Second piece of advice? Angel had previously focused on Laplace and did not pay attention to the standing sign. Now when he heard Laplace talking about it, he couldn't help but divert his attention and returned to the original mountain peak.
Angel saw the second suggestion on the sign at a glance:
"Completing the challenge is important, but remember that as a performer, it is more important to bring joy to the audience."
After reading this advice, Angel had a complicated expression.
Laplace's suspicion may be true, and exploration is not just about completing the track, but also about audience feedback.
In other words, if you want to get a high degree of exploration, you must not only complete the track, but also "perform" when completing the track. No matter what kind of "performance" it is, if it brings joy to the audience, then the degree of exploration will increase.
Before, the response from the audience was obviously very weak. It should be that Laplace did not give a wonderful "performance", so the response was mediocre.
The only good thing is that at least there was no booing.
Angel: "Then the next track..." Can you perform?
Laplace: "No. I came to this special dreamland just to take away my body, not to explore it."
Angel: ...You said it so righteously, I almost believed it. You were the one who brought Gleipnir with me just for the sake of exploration.
Angel was complaining in his heart, but he definitely couldn't say that on the surface. Instead, he followed Laplace's words and said: "That's right, either full exploration or flying at low altitude. Now it seems that full exploration It’s no longer possible, it’s just about completing the track, there’s no need to perform.”
Laplace nodded secretly, Angel's excuse was not bad.
After they formulated their next response plan, the host, who had heated up the scene for five minutes, finally turned the topic back to Laplace.
"The next time, let's give it back to our Silver Fox Challenger. I believe she will bring more exciting performances to everyone on the second track!"
Perhaps it was because of the host's warm-up that the audience's interest in Laplace was rekindled. After the host's voice fell, there was an immediate warm response.
Anger, who could see the enthusiastic response from the audience, silently glanced at Laplace and sighed in his heart, letting Laplace satisfy the audience's desire to watch? Forget it.
"Silver Fox Challenger, do you feel the enthusiasm of the audience? You will definitely bring more exciting performances, right?"
The host's voice sounded in Laplace's ears.
Laplace was too lazy to reply.
The host didn't say much, and lightly snapped his fingers. The surroundings dimmed again. The mountains, clouds, and cableways all disappeared. Only the five spotlights were still shining on Laplace.
The darkness did not last too long. After about five seconds, the surroundings lit up again.
The brightness was about the same as before, and the visibility was still that of a cloudy day.
However, one of the five spotlights before was missing, and it became four.
Laplace didn't care. The five spotlights might correspond to five tracks. She guessed that one spotlight might be extinguished for each track.
The details were well done, but no matter how good the details were, they were just details. Compared with the clearance, they were insignificant.
What Laplace was most concerned about now was what the second track was.
She looked around the surrounding environment and frowned slightly. She was now in a dense forest swamp full of stench from the top of the mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.
She was still standing on the thick ground, but not far in front of her was the dense forest swamp with bubbles gurgling. There were familiar signs and timers on the edge of the swamp.
Behind her was a red curtain, and she couldn't see what was behind the curtain.
She wanted to retreat, but after retreating to a certain position, the doll costume became heavier, and finally gave Laplace a feeling as heavy as a mountain.
Obviously, the people of the Sunshine Circus didn't want her to retreat. In other words, the rules of this special dream would not and would not allow her to retreat.
Laplace was also very sensible and did not confront the rules head-on. Instead, he walked to the side of the sign and read the text on it.
The content on the sign was similar to the previous one, which introduced the situation of this track.
According to the information on the sign, the name of this track is: Swamp Track.
There is no time limit on the sign, and there is no limit on the way to cross the swamp. However, there is a skateboard and a pole at the edge of the swamp, which are probably props prepared for challengers.
Coincidentally, the host was also introducing this track at this time and mentioned these props: "We have prepared a tool for challengers to cross the swamp, but only by taking the opponent by surprise can you win... Will Silver Fox Challenger choose them?"
According to the host, if you use it, you should follow the routine, and the exploration degree will not be too high. If you want to increase the exploration degree, you can either use other tricks to cross the swamp, or perform in a way that makes the audience applaud.
For this special dream, Laplace did not think about high exploration, so she decided to choose skateboards and ferry poles.
However, Laplace still has some questions. Is this track really timeless? If there is no time limit, will the end be hidden and need to find the end?
Also, what is the red curtain behind? Or is it just a background board?
And, is this track another glass landscape? If so, how did she get here?
Laplace does not know these questions now, but... Angel knows.
Angel did not hide it and told everything he saw from his perspective.
The first thing Angel answered was the question of location. This is indeed a glass landscape, but Laplace was not transferred to other glass landscapes, but in the same glass cabinet, from the previous mountain cableway, to the new landscape of dense forest swamps.
How this change was achieved, Angel could not explain clearly. He only saw that there was one less spotlight on Laplace, and this beam of light turned into a new landscape in the glass cabinet.
What is the principle, Angel does not know.
However, the original form of a special dream is actually an ordinary dream. Dreams themselves are absurd and unrestrained. It is also ridiculous to look for principles in dreams.
So, it doesn’t matter how it changes. Anyway, Laplace has not left the glass cabinet. This is certain.
Then, Angel talked about the end of this track.
Angel can clearly see from the perspective of God that this track has an end, and it is not far away.
The swamp area can be imagined as a circular moat. The entire track is a circular circle. The starting point is actually the end point. Angel estimated that the distance may be about two kilometers, which is still not long.
Finally, Angel mentioned the red curtain.
"The position behind the red curtain is the so-called end point, but even if you lift the red curtain, you can't see the end point because there is something that will block your sight."
"This thing is... the clown's head."
To be precise, it was a clown head, and the makeup on this clown head was not the perfunctory clown makeup that the host outside had put on, but a complete makeup...or the makeup was wrong, but a real clown monster. Its swollen cheekbones, skull-like jaw, various grotesque paints, and a head full of explosive green curly hair all showed the gap between it and ordinary humans. This was a real scary clown.
Although it was only a clown's head, it was very huge, about five meters high, and four meters at the narrowest point, which could block all of Laplace's sight.
The clown's eyes were wide open, and from Angel's perspective, he could see that the direction the clown was looking at was Laplace.
Even with the red curtain covering it, the clown seemed to be able to pass through the red curtain and look directly at Laplace. No matter where Laplace went, the clown's sight would not be deviated.
Laplace: "You mean, the clown is eyeing me?"
Angel: "It should be."
Laplace sneered and looked back at the sign.
There is also a suggestion at the bottom of this sign. Laplace didn't understand it before, but now she roughly knows what it means.
"Please don't slack off... Those who slack off will be eaten by the clowns who catch up. However, performance is not considered slacking off. The clown loves performance the most."
Although this track has no time limit, this clown head is likely to be triggered together with the challenger, which will force the challenger to complete the challenge as soon as possible, otherwise he may be preyed on.
This is also an alternative time limit.
Or in Angel's words, the theme of this track is not swamp sliding, but "Battle Royale".
As for the fact that "performance" can make the clown ignore slackness, Angel and Laplace did not mention it. Anyway, Laplace is impossible to perform...
Angel: "I guess this clown head will be protected by the rules of the fairyland. Even if you fully activate the fantasy physique, you may not be able to fight it... So, you can only escape from its hunting range at the fastest speed and reach the finish line."
Don't fight, reaching the finish line is the winner.
After Laplace silently recited this sentence in his heart, he did not hesitate any longer, activated his imaginary physique, pressed the timer button, and rushed into the swamp quickly.
The swamp track is officially open!
As the track opened, Laplace's guess was confirmed. The red curtain fell directly, and the huge clown head laughed and chased Laplace.
The clown head was suspended, so there was no need to worry about sinking into the swamp, and its speed was quite fast. If Laplace did not have the imaginary physique bonus, it would probably be caught up by it immediately.
Most importantly, the clown head would accelerate. Although the acceleration time would not be too long, each acceleration could shorten the distance between it and Laplace.
The entire track was like a tug-of-war.
But in the end, Laplace was more skilled. The imaginary physique had an all-round bonus to her physical fitness, and the skateboard with the pole sliding on the swamp was like mirror paddling; and mirror paddling was too easy for Laplace.
Under the clown's regretful gaze, Laplace went ashore and reached the destination.
