Chapter 292 This is Street Dance!
Chapter 292 This is Street Dance!
Shan Shijiu turned and rushed into the backyard of the post station, moving as fast as a twenty-year-old.
The four players stared in disbelief at what they saw.
"This...this NPC can change its face?" the little green-skinned creature murmured.
Chen You crossed his arms, his expression calm.
As long as there's a health bar, you can kill it.
If there's a price, you can buy it.
This is the underlying logic of the source world.
The special funds given by Director Li are not meant to be wasted.
Before long, a violent surge of magical energy emanated from the backyard.
The ground trembled, and the accumulated snow fell in a soft rustling sound.
"Young hero! Please make way!"
The voice of Yamashiki came from the backyard.
Immediately afterwards, a massive snow monster pulled an extremely exaggerated vehicle and slowly drove into the yard.
It was a giant RV that was ten meters long and three meters wide.
The car body is made of dark red purple cloud wood, and its surface is engraved with complex cold-proof and defensive magic arrays.
The car windows are inlaid with transparent crystals, through which the luxurious leather sofas and thick carpets inside can be vaguely seen.
The most outrageous thing is that there is a metal chimney emitting heat on the top of the carriage.
The four players' jaws nearly dropped to the floor.
"Is this some kind of caravan?" the werewolf asked, his voice trembling as he pointed at the enormous vehicle.
Shan Shijiu rubbed his hands together and ran up to Chen You, his face crinkling with laughter, looking just like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Young hero, what do you think of this 'Snowy Realm Spirit Boat'?"
"This is my most treasured possession! It has a purple cloud wood body, a third-level windproof array, and an internal constant temperature barrier."
He lowered his voice and added mysteriously, "There's also a small kitchen inside."
"Old man, I've prepared top-quality Wagyu beef and broth; you can even have hot pot in it!"
Chen You raised an eyebrow.
Hot pot?
This NPC has a good sense of service.
"Okay, that's it." Chen You pointed to the gold coins on the ground. "Keep the money safe."
"Hey! Alright!" Yamashiki quickly swept the gold coins into his backpack, not even bothering with the pipe that had fallen into the snow.
Chen You turned to look at the four players who were still in a daze.
"It's fate that we met." Chen You pointed to the luxury RV. "Get in, it's on me."
The four players were startled.
The goblin was almost in tears: "Boss...you not only took us, but you even treated us to a ride in the RV?"
The skeleton frantically pounded its breastbone with its only remaining hand: "Wandering God! From this day forward, my life belongs to you!"
Chen You waved his hand without saying anything more.
The hot pot has a strong flavor, so it should be able to mask the smells from the other people.
The group filed onto the "Snowy Spirit Boat".
The temperature inside the carriage was as warm as springtime.
The large, soft, and comfortable leather sofa had a copper pot boiling in the center of a mahogany table, with neatly arranged slices of marbled beef next to it.
"This game... can be played like this?"
The ghost player stared at the steaming hot pot and fell into deep self-doubt.
Chen You sat down in the main seat, picked up his chopsticks, and put a slice of beef into the pot.
"drive."
Yamashiki sat in the driver's seat and gave the reins a tug.
"Hold on tight! We're heading to Hidden Star City, let's go!"
The snow monster let out a low roar, pulling the massive RV out of the inn and plunging into the swirling snowstorm.
……
Outside the car window, the wind and snow roared like an angry beast. The goose-feather snowflakes were whipped up by the gale and slammed hard against the carriage made of purple cloud wood, making a series of dull thuds.
Inside the carriage, however, was a completely different world.
On the small red clay stove, a brass hot pot bubbled and bubbled with milky white broth.
Several slices of snowflake beef, cut as thin as cicada wings, floated up and down in the soup, emitting an enticing aroma.
The constant temperature array worked diligently, completely keeping out the severe cold.
Chen You leaned back on the soft leather sofa, holding a cup of unidentified hot tea in his hand, looking calmly at the four players in front of him.
These four people are currently in a bizarre state of revelry.
"Waaaah... This is so delicious!" The short goblin player with green skin stuffed beef into his mouth while his eyes welled up with tears.
His ID above his head is "I love to forgive".
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
The hairy werewolf player, [Moonlight Howl], clumsily gripped chopsticks with his claws. Although his movements were comical, his eating speed was by no means slow.
The ghost player standing to the side, [Midnight Ghost Knocking on the Door], looked grief-stricken.
He has no physical form and can only float above the hot pot, sucking in the rising steam, trying to feel full by "smelling" the aroma.
The most outrageous one was the skeleton player with only half an arm left, [Skeleton Amazing].
He opened and closed his jaw with a clicking sound, tossing a piece of blanched meat into his mouth.
The slice of meat slid down his empty cervical vertebrae and finally fell with a "plop" onto the receiving plate in his pelvis.
He skillfully reached out and picked up the slices of meat, rinsed them with water, and then threw them back into the hot pot.
"Brother, this is physical recycling." The werewolf stared in disbelief.
"What do you know? I'm just venting." The skeleton didn't care and turned to look at Chen You, its empty eye sockets flickering with ghostly blue soul fire.
"Your kindness is beyond words! You spent so much money to show us poor folks the world; I, Gu, truly feel indebted!"
Chen You put down his teacup, his tone calm and collected: "It was just on the way, don't worry about it."
He didn't want to get too involved with these people.
His mind is now filled with thoughts of how to cause trouble in Cangxing City, trigger hidden quests, and reap massive amounts of experience.
Bringing these players along is purely for show.
After all, he's a celebrity; he can't afford to have his reputation ruined.
But the skeleton players clearly don't think that way.
"No!" Skeleton Amazing suddenly stood up, but the movement was so big that a rib on his right side fell off with a "crack".
He casually picked up the rib and stuffed it back into his chest cavity, his tone impassioned and passionate.
"Free food and drink is not my style! The journey is long, and it's snowing heavily outside, so I'll prepare something to liven things up for you!"
Chen You's eyelids twitched.
Get one? Get what?
Before Chen You could refuse, the skeleton had already walked to the empty space next to him.
He took a deep breath (though he had no lungs), and the ghostly blue flames of his soul suddenly blazed.
"Music!" the skeleton snapped its fingers.
The ghost player, 【Midnight Ghost Knocks on the Door】, understood immediately and floated into the air. He rubbed his hands together and released a ball of flickering ghost fire.
The will-o'-the-wisps flickered in rhythm, creating a visual effect reminiscent of laser lights in a nightclub inside the carriage.
The goblin player, "I Love Forgiveness," was not to be outdone. He took out two leftover cow bones and began rhythmically tapping them on the mahogany table.
"Thump! Tap! Thump thump tap!"
Accompanied by simple yet highly rhythmic drumbeats, the skeleton moved.
He first assumed an extremely stiff posture, and then his entire skeleton began to twist in a way that defied biological norms.
"Click! Click! Click!"
The crisp sound of bones colliding perfectly matched the rhythm of the goblin's hammering.
He performed a perfectly executed robotic trembling motion, with all two hundred bones in his body exerting force simultaneously, as if an electric current was passing through his skeleton.
Chen You's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air.
Is this... a street dance performance?
