Chapter 781 THOUSAND WORLD FANTASIA
Chapter 781 THOUSAND WORLD FANTASIA
”EXCUSE me, Mr. Conductor,” Luo Yan called the rabbit. “Are there no other information about these three destinations?”The rabbit shook its head. “No. We, here in Thousand World Terminal, believe that it’s important to give our passengers a considerable shock factor. We believe that their travel experience would be much more worthwhile in that way.”
So, this rabbit was low-key telling them to just pick on random?
”Are these the only three destinations available?” he continued to ask.
”This is the Thousand World Terminal. There are as many as a thousand destinations,” the rabbit responded. “But since this is the Fantasia Train’s first journey, we decided to give you three options instead of just letting you travel in a random manner.”
No wonder the dungeon was called Thousand World Fantasia. – Luo Yan thought. The ‘Thousand World’ didn’t only pertain to the name of the terminal, it also meant the number of possible destinations the train could take them to.
”Well, thank you very much for that,” Su Yuqi said sarcastically.
”So, this new dungeon is made up of a thousand worlds?” Bai Ze said. “How the heck are we supposed to clear this? We’re not going to have to travel to those thousand worlds, right?”
Shen Ji Yun turned to the rabbit and simply asked straightforwardly, “What are the conditions for clearing this dungeon?”
”You just have to return back here at the designated time. Of course, all of you should come back without one missing. If not, then, this journey would be labeled as incomplete,” the rabbit answered.
Truly, how vague could you be? – Luo Yan thought.
”Can you be more specific?” Bai Ze said, voicing what’s on Luo Yan’s mind.
”This is as far as I’m allowed to say. You will receive more information once you boarded the train,” the rabbit said.
”Basically, we just have to pick one destination from these three cards. Travel there, then come back without any of us dying, and the dungeon would then be cleared. Is that it?” Luo Jin asked for clarification.
”Correct,” the rabbit replied. “You now only have three minutes left to choose.”
”Well, at least we only have to go to one place to clear this thing,” Bai Ze said.
”Since the rabbit wouldn’t tell any more information, we should probably just choose which destination we should go to first,” Luo Yan suggested.
”Agreed,” Shen Ji Yun followed. “We will only get more information once we boarded the train. So, the only thing we could do now is choose.”
”The question is, which one?” Su Yuqi asked while looking at the three cards.
”Let’s just go with the majority vote,” Luo Jin suggested. “It would all be the same no matter which one we picked anyway. It would still be as hard to clear.”
”Let’s do it that way then,” Luo Yan said. “How about pointing at the card of our choice after the count of three?”
All the other four nodded in agreement.
”Should I do the counting?” Luo Yan asked. After he got everyone’s permission, he started the counting. “3… 2… 1!”
All five raised their hands to point at the cards above. One was pointing at the Mermaid Cove, another one at the Amphitrite, and three were pointing at the Magnolia Manor. And with this, their choice was finally made.
”I guess that’s it then,” Luo Yan said.
”Have you made your choice?” the rabbit asked in a timely manner.
Shen Ji Yun turned to the rabbit and answered the other’s question, “We pick the Magnolia Manor.”
”A good choice. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your stay at this charming countryside manor full of secrets and intrigue.”
After the rabbit said that, he took out a whistle and blew on it. The sound that came out of the whistle seemed to be a signal. Then they heard the choo-choo sound that was very unique to the old train models. Sure enough, a train that looked like that one from that famous movie series about wizards and witches stopped in front of them.
”Please, enjoy your journey,” the rabbit said, extending his arm to the side in a welcoming manner.
The moment he said that, one of the doors of the train opened, as if enticing them to walk inside.
”I’ll go first,” Shen Ji Yun said, walking inside.
Seeing that the inside was just filled with ordinary seats, he turned to the others and gestured that it was safe. After all of them boarded the train, the voice of the Conductor echoed in the car they were in.
[Attention, passengers. This is your conductor speaking. We will now begin our journey to the beautiful Magnolia Manor. Please, sit down and enjoy the train ride.]
The five of them sat down on seats near each other. That way, it would be easier to discuss things.
After Luo Yan sat down, Shen Ji Yun quickly sat beside him. Luo Jin was about to do the same and sit beside Su Yuqi but before he could, Bai Ze had already pulled him to the seat beside the other. Luo Jin truly wanted to complain but seeing his cousin’s carefree grin, he just decided not to.
Then, the train started moving.
All of them looked outside the window almost at the same time. The pink sky that was supposed to be outside became a white light. As if the train was travelling at the speed of light.
”I thought they would explain things further. Why is nothing happening?” Bai Ze asked after a while.
Luo Yan thought the same. He was expecting, at least, some kind of virtual screen to appear, explaining to them what they needed to do. But so far, there was nothing.
He was about to speak when the train suddenly accelerated. His body almost flew forward. But a strong arm held his shoulder. He raised his head and stared at Shen Ji Yun. The tip of the other’s ear that he could see was bright red, a sign that he was feeling very shy right now.
He was thinking of teasing the other when the conductor’s voice echoed in the train car.
[Attention! Attention! We’ve arrived at our destination!]
