Chapter 174 Players enter Wonderland again! (Two in one, please vote!)
"Ah! Ahh!!"
"Uh huh huh...ahhhhh!!"
In the Jack Manor at night, a tragic scream could be heard faintly from the attic on the fourth floor of the villa.
Residential area not far away.
Six players were drinking tea and chatting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor.
Hearing the faint screams, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Did you hear that?"
the centaur asked.
"Well, it seems like someone is screaming."
The twin-tailed lolita Weiyin held the iced milk tea, stirred it twice with a spoon, and whispered.
"Why does it sound like Kotou Jin and Wang Wangwuji?"
Polaris frowned slightly.
Su Keying glanced at him.
"So it seems like...what happened?"
She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms.
"By the way, they must have been caught by Jack and are being tortured?!"
"It's possible. After all, they participated in activities against the organization, and their favorability has dropped to disgust. If they don't hunt them down, they will be taught a lesson."
Dongyang chuckled and took a sip of tea.
"Will it be so painful? Just minimize the pain perception in the game..."
Chen Xi frowned slightly.
"Who knows what weird tricks the famous 'Guide of Destiny' Mr. Jack will have. After all, this is an extraordinary world... maybe it's extreme itching, terrifying visions, picking off the heart and lungs, or eating oneself raw. ”
Dongyang said, putting down the tea cup.
"Even if you know this is a game, with such a real feeling, it still has a huge impact on people's spirit... isn't it?"
Hearing his calm words, the three women present were all a little frightened.
But the horseman turned his head and drank tea silently, not daring to say a word.
Because he was the one who secretly informed Kotou Jin and Wang Wuji of some information, causing them to "fall into the trap".
If these two people were tortured into stupidity, wouldn't he have to take the blame?
"Ahem, I'm a little tired. Let's go upstairs to sleep."
The centaur stood up.
"Well, it's almost time, let's go our separate ways."
Dongyang said.
"Everyone, skip the sleep time and remember to set the time. We have made an appointment to go to Xiashuitan to upgrade tomorrow morning to run in the team in advance and prepare for the 'Wonderland Dungeon'."
Chen Xi hummed and went straight upstairs without looking back.
At the end, Loli and Su Keying were still chatting in a low voice, and the name "Jack" could be vaguely heard, with strange smiles on their faces.
Polaris glanced at them and then shook his head.
He followed the centaur's lead and left the living room.
For some reason, he gradually became a misfit in this small group.
Maybe it's because the other players on the same team are either guild members or group members, but he is the only one who is a true lone wolf.
"You can do it, Polaris."
He silently encouraged himself, determination flashing in his eyes.
"Work hard! Struggle! Try to make enough money as soon as possible to be promoted to a transcendent! No one can look down on you!"

Room on the third floor.
Chen Lun sat on the chair by the window.
"Ahhhh!!"
"Don't come here!"
A faint shout came from above.
He raised his head and silently glanced at the ceiling.
‘What on earth is Maggie feeding them to get such a big reaction? ’
Shaking his head, Chen Lun picked up the unsealed old book on the table again.
""Dream Searching Town Kazite"... This book is very strange and gives me a feeling of déjà vu. ’
He flipped through the mysterious book with a thoughtful look on his face.
This book is "extraordinary knowledge". Apart from providing Chen Lun with 500 experience points, it has no other substantial benefits.
The book uses a first-person perspective to describe a down-and-out sailor who fell into a coma after being drunk.
In his sleep, he went down a staircase leading underground, walked 70 steps, and found a huge stone door.
Looking up at the stone door, for some reason, he could clearly tell that its name was "The Gate of Sleep."
The stone door is carved with various marine creatures, as well as strange and ferocious monsters. Beside the huge stone door, stood a tall woman whose face could not be seen clearly.
Wearing an elegant dark green gauze skirt, she silently looked at the sailor.
Likewise, the sailor somehow learned the woman's name, "Lady Sighs."
The lofty and majestic aura gave the sailors an impulse to worship, and they did not dare to have any blasphemous thoughts.
As if passing some kind of test, Lady Sigh opened the door for him.
The sailor crossed the stone gate and went down again. After going through 700 steps again, he came to a gray forest.
The forest was extremely dark and no living creatures could be seen.
The sailor is lost in the forest until he meets a black cat.
The black cat spoke human words and was hospitable. He gave the sailor a homemade wine called "moon wine" and then guided the sailor to "the sound of water and the pile of rocks."
The sailor followed the black cat's guidance and finally succeeded in finding an ancient town——
Kazite.
The sailor was surprised to find that the residents of this small town were all intelligent white cats.
They have a common leader, who is both the mayor and the high priest, named Daye. This is an old cat with a tabby-brown appearance, completely different from the white cats in the entire Kazite town.
It is responsible for deciding major events in the town and for worshiping the town's belief, the cat god.
The sudden appearance of the sailor made the cat residents of Kazite Town very surprised and curious, because it had been a long time since the last human visit.
They welcomed the sailor warmly and gave him a banquet.
At the banquet, the sailor took out the moon wine, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the white cats because it was a gift from the black cats.
The white cats took out their pride, sun wine.
The sailor had never tasted such fine wine and was very drunk.
Driven by curiosity, he secretly drank the moon wine, and finally entered an indescribable and wonderful state.
He found that he could see scenes that he could not see in the past, and he also saw that above the small town of Kazite, there was a huge figure wearing a yellow robe that covered the sky and the sun.
At that moment, the sailor felt himself sublimated.
But in the eyes of the white cats, he instantly turned into powder and disappeared into the air.
The sailor's dream never awoke.
It's just that there is an extra cold corpse on the dock in reality.
The story of "Dream Seeking Town Kazite" is not long, but the whole story is filled with a kind of weirdness.
After reading, Chen Lun gently closed the book and frowned.
"The Gate of Sleep...The Sighing Lady...The Town of Kazite...The Yellow Robe..."
He murmured these words, feeling like he was a very high-ranking being.
And the atmosphere depicted in the entire story is also quite epic.
The forest that the protagonist first entered reminded him of the dark forest in "Wonderland".
‘Could the dream in the book be a fairyland...? ’
Chen Lun guessed.
‘If this is the case, it’s no wonder Philip is so afraid of fairyland...’
He stroked the unsealed old book and then put it away properly.
But I made up my mind to pay close attention to the clues that appeared in the book during the exploration of Wonderland to prove whether there is a connection between the two.

Four-story loft.
The dog-headed gold looked at the monster in front of him in shock.
This is a powerful creature with a bull's head and a human body, with four arms, downy hair on its chest and abdomen, cow's hooves, and knotted muscles throughout.
"Fuck! Brother, you have become a four-handed tauren now!"
The dog-headed gold said.
Wang Wuji rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"How do you think you are so good? You have grown two penises."
"Ah?! No?!"
Goutoujin immediately lowered his head.
boom! !
There was a loud bang.
Wang Wuji punched hard, knocking the head of a dog-headed and golden bull off his head, leaving half of his face bruised with blood.
The dog-headed gold fell heavily and made a muffled sound.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
The rotten half of his face was recovering at an extremely fast speed, with the flesh squirming and intertwining.
Wang Wuji picked up Kotoujin by his horns and lifted him up.
"I can't control myself, so I want to hit someone!"
Forgotten Wuji's eyes were red and he was breathing heavily.
He punched Kotou Jin in the face again, and the newly healed wound shattered again.
The dog-headed golden eyes were broken and dripping with blood, and his body was swaying but still standing.
He also seemed to be in some kind of violent state. Two of his thick arms stretched out to grab Wang Wuji tightly, and the other two clenched fists and swung violently.
Bang bang! Crack! !
Forgotten Wuji was punched hard, and blood splattered on his teeth.
But he still had the energy to fight back, and he also punched the nugget.
The two of them howled and screamed in pain while fighting each other.
In the end, they both fell to the ground, their muscles and bones broken into pieces, like a puddle of mud.
But they were still not dead, still breathing.
"——Brother, the effect of this medicine is really amazing! It is simply a magic medicine for fighting! The recovery speed of health points is frighteningly fast, and it also increases a lot of attributes! It's just a bit over the top..."
"——The most important point is that this is our credit! The birth of the miracle medicine is because of our selfless dedication! So I decided! From now on, I will be a loyal fan of the 'Beef Powerful Bottle'!"
< br>
"——Me too! Damn it, I feel uncomfortable all over without drinking!"
"——Have you recovered? I want to fight again!"
"——Come!"
The two four-armed bull-headed monsters struggled to get up again and started a new round of fighting.
"Ah! Ah!!"
"Ah hum! Ah!"
Eight fist shadows intertwined, punching to the flesh.
Bang bang! Crackling!
Maggie stood in the corner of the attic, blushing, watching this scene excitedly.
"Succeeded! Although there are some insignificant side effects, it is indeed a success! In a sense, the side effects can also be the advantages of the medicine. The alienated body increases the offensiveness...!"
She held a notebook in her hand, observing the fight between the two tauren, and quickly recorded something.
After a while.
The battle between Kotoujin and Forgotten Wuji ends.
This time, their bodies finally couldn't hold on any longer and disintegrated into flesh, turning into white light and dissipating.
Maggie looked at where they had disappeared, her eyes shining.
"This is the 'immortal' that the leader calls it. It is indeed an excellent material for testing medicine!"
She put away her notebook and pen, walked quickly to the table, picked up a bubbling red viscous potion, turned around and left.
"You must tell the leader this good news! Hehe!"

Chen Lun finished washing and came out of the bathroom.
He was about to go to bed when he heard a knock on the door.
Open the door.
Maggie dodged and got in.
Before Chen Lun could speak, she took out a crimson potion.
"Captain! It's a success! This is the 'Beef Powerful Bottle'! My most satisfying masterpiece so far!"
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and took the potion.
【Extraordinary Potion-Beef Powerful Bottle】
Item description: A powerful recovery potion developed by a heretic pharmacist. Using ancient techniques and materials, plus fantastic ideas, the dark red potion was finally concocted.
But it comes with terrible side effects.
Item effect: It can greatly restore internal and external injuries, and has targeted effects on hemostasis, blood production and musculoskeletal recovery.
It is 100% transformed into a creature with the body of an ox, with a maximum health value of +200, a maximum physical strength of +100, strength +5 and endurance +5, and falls into an extremely violent state, full of murderous intent and desire for destruction, lasting for 30 minutes.
After the effect of the medicine wears off, the body will inevitably collapse, and the upper limit of health, physical strength, strength and endurance will be halved for 48 hours.
Warning: Do not take it again within 48 hours, otherwise it will trigger instant death.
"Beef...Pennis...um."
Chen Lun held the potion and was speechless for a moment.
Although he wanted to complain about Maggie's naming ability, he had to say that this name was more vivid than his "powerful blood-generating bottle".
Without getting hung up on the name of the medicine, he opened the bottle cap and sniffed it gently.
A strong smell of raw beef hit his face, making him frown.
Along with the slight itching all over his body, Chen Lun even felt that his breathing was getting heavier.
‘The medicine is very effective! ’
Surprise flashed in his eyes.
‘This potion can provide a powerful life recovery speed... Although it has serious side effects and will transform into a bull monster, it is surprisingly suitable for players to use! ’
Chen Lun looked at the crimson potion in his hand.
For some reason, he always has the illusion that when this potion is in the hands of the player, its side effects may be its main effect, and the recovery of life becomes the icing on the cake.
"Well done Maggie, this potion is indeed very novel and surprised me."
Chen Lun smiled at Maggie.
Maggie chuckled, raised her hand, and spread out her palm.
"Captain, we have no money."
"Um..."
Chen Lun was startled for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, took out a bag containing 200 gold pounds, and handed it over.
"This 'Beef Powerful Bottle' could be prepared a little more, it might be very popular..."
"No problem, captain!"
Maggie cheered.

A few days later.
A total of ten players, including Nugget Jin and Forgotten Wuji, gathered in the living room on the first floor of the villa in Jack's Manor.
In addition to the original six players, the two extra players are Dongyang and Chenxi, a man and a woman each recruited from their own guilds, named "Kang Ben Kuang" and "Honey Pomelo" respectively.
They are already ready to write the book together and head to Wonderland.
"Golden dog head, forgotten Wuji, welcome back."
The centaur smiled heartily at the two of them.
A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
These two people were tortured by Jack and became like this because of themselves. It was really pitiful.
The reason why the horse people have this idea is naturally the dog-headed gold and Wang Wuji, who always maintain an excited look on their faces, with wandering eyes and lack of concentration.
The symptoms of ADHD.
It doesn't look normal anyway.
Because the "Beef Powerful Bottle" had just been prepared not long ago and the reserve was limited, Chen Lun only sold one bottle to each of them, and the others did not know the news for the time being.
Nugget Gold and Forgotten Wuji are very much looking forward to the power of Hercules Medicine at this moment, hoping that they can perform well in this copy of Wonderland.
"Catman, long time no see!"
The nugget gold greeted him.
"Polaris, Su Keying, you too...and other new friends."
He and Wang Wuji looked at the others and said.
Polaris nodded towards them, the others also nodded, and Su Keying responded enthusiastically.
Wait for them to sit down on the couch.
"You warriors from other places, are you ready?"
A low, magnetic voice came.
The ten players turned their heads and looked at the young man in black hat on the sofa opposite the coffee table.
They were in the chat room, after a round of simple communication. Dongyang, the vice president of Yingling Pavilion, spoke on his behalf:
"We're ready, Mr. Jack."
They each took out a symbolic ticket.
This is your ticket to “Wonderland.”
"Very good..."
Chen Lun smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
A small flame popped out of his hand and exploded into ten tiny sparks, instantly falling into the hands of ten people.
The tickets burned up and dissipated into smoke.
The players were slightly stunned.
Immediately, they saw Mr. Jack extending his hand towards them.
"Warriors from other places, go explore the wonderland..."
A low magnetic voice sounded.
A familiar scene for the five members of the Polaris Centaur and other internal beta testers appeared. Countless tiny vines emerged from Mr. Jack's cuffs, intertwining into an ancient book.
Crash...!
The pages of the book opened.
"Quietly entering my dream..."
Jack grinned.
With a bang, everyone saw a white light appear in their eyes.
I am so confused that I don’t know how long it has been.
When they came to their senses again, the scene in the living room of the villa had disappeared, and the surrounding area became a gray forest.
"Phew...we're back again!"
The dog-headed gold opened his mouth.
Unlike the first time when he was at a loss, this time he felt extremely hopeful.
"Yeah."
The horseman also sighed with emotion.
"Is this the Gray Forest? The starting point of Wonderland...?"
Dongyang looked around, with a hint of curiosity on his face.
Chen Xi, Wei Yin and others also raised their heads and looked at their surroundings, feeling novel about everything.
"Wrong!"
Polaris suddenly spoke.
Others looked at him with doubts on their faces.
"This is not where we originally landed."
Polaris pointed in a direction that no one had noticed. They looked along that direction and were surprised to find a wooden cabin looming under the cover of the woods.
"Wooden house...? We really haven't encountered it before!"
The centaur said solemnly.
Just then.
A prompt box popped up in their minds!
