Chapter 304 Way to the Top (11)

After getting the magic beans, the four did not rush into the soil but started a comprehensive inspection of this floor.

Similar to the rope and the cow, the clues that can be found after closer observation may not be only one place, they must check them out. In addition, they also want to know… Where did the Tin Woodman go?

It’s reasonable that on this soft mud ground, its weight will leave traces. But the players only found some footprints next to Don Quixote’s body. In just a dozen steps, the footprint disappeared abruptly.

If the footprints disappeared next to the wall, it could also be explained that the Tin Man entered the mural, but this was not the case… The place where the footprint was interrupted was far away from the wall. It’s in an area in the grass as if the Tin Man suddenly disappeared in the air while walking.

The puzzles of this scenario can be said to be weirder and weirder. The Keter SCP on the first floor seems to be just a small test… After going up to the third floor, the whole condition of the Oz Tracey case has not been understood. On the fourth floor, Don Quixote died, and then there were boy trade magic means with a cow. Even Feng Bujue can’t imagine what else will come next…

The exploration went on for ten minutes, no progress was made, and there was no clear indication of where the magic beans should be put. Thus, they just picked an open space to grow the magic beans.

“I had now understood why the floor here is dirt and grass.” Autumn Wind said as he used Feng Bujue’s small knife to dig the hole.

“Don’t dig too deep, the magic beans in that story were just spilled on the soil and grew then,” Calm Speaker reminded.

“Wait, shall we plant all the beans, or just one to see what happen?” Feng Bujue took the bag of magic beans, took one out and put it in his hands, trying to learn it.

“Isn’t there a description on the item?” Swan said, “It’s useless to keep it.”

“Maybe there are some hidden attributes, such as eating one to be able to resurrect in the next second,” Feng Bujue joked.

“That’s Senzu Bean 1)!” Autumn Wind corrected.

“Fine.” Feng Bujue said, dumped all the sacks of magic beans into the pits he had carved out.

Autumn Wind pushed the dirt with his hands, buried it shallowly, and then returned the knife to Feng Bujue. He patted the dust on his hands, “Done.”

“It won’t take too long to grow, right?” Calm Speaker said.

Feng Bujue said, “What then? Shall I water it?”

“What are you talking about…” Autumn Wind had a bad hunch again, squinting at Feng Bujue. “You can’t take off your pants in the game. Don’t be whimsical.”

“I said watering, but not using urine,” Feng Bujue said.

“You are the one who spoke about feces and urine the most since I played the game…” Swan couldn’t bear it anymore: “From your previous remarks, you seem to be someone doing literature. Why are you so…”

“Is being elegant change anything? There are so many people doing literature who can do great writing, but they behaved as badly as gangsters. As the saying goes… Emperors are sometimes inferior, but folks are always.” Feng Bujue came to the wall, he squatted down and used those silver magic shoes to pick up some water from the stream on the wall.

“Oh, I see.” Autumn Wind saw what was Feng Bujue doing and got his idea.

After watering into the soil, the little mound immediately moved slightly.

None of the four responded slowly, knowing that something was going to happen, they all went back.

After a few seconds, the towering beanstalks emerged from the ground, like a long dragon rushing straight up. The buds on the top of the bean stem are like a drill, and the stems on the back are staggered and twisted.

The players thought that the bean would break the ceiling of the fourth floor, but it rushed directly into the “sky” painted on the ceiling.

After five full minutes, the bean stalks stopped growing and moving.

The four looked up, they could not see the top of the beanstalk, nor could they see anything above the “cloud”.

“Well… we shouldn’t be able to get into this scene…” Calm Speaker said.

“Not necessarily.” Swan held his glasses up and looked up: “We just tried four walls, but we haven’t tried the ceiling yet…”

“Assuming we can indeed climb into the ‘sky’ along the beanstalks… I’m afraid we won’t be able to reach it within a kilometre or two,” said Autumn Wind.

Feng Bujue said with emotion, “Ah… I remember climbing to such a high place, and grabbing the Sacred Water from an immortal at the top of the tower…”

“Aren’t you talking about Korin Tower!” Roared Autumn Wind.

“Well… Calm Speaker can wear the hat. How can Autumn Wind climb with the broom?” Swan said.

“How about holding it in your mouth?” Feng Bujue suggested.

“You do it!” Autumn Wind handed the broom to Feng Bujue quickly.

“Sure.” Feng Bujue agreed instantly, and handed the pair of shoes to Autumn Wind: “Hold this for me.”

Autumn Wind was completely shocked. He took the shoes with a dumb face and shoved the shoes into his pockets (Autumn Wind’s pockets were bigger than Feng Bujue’s long suit pocket), and then… he watched with shocked eyes as Feng Bujue bit the broom, and walk calmly towards the beanstalks.

“Remember when I practiced Santoryu 2), I was holding a knife handle thicker than this all day…” Feng Bujue bit the broomstick, drooling inexplicably.

“I would bet 5 game coins, this guy is sick…” Autumn Wind muttered, looking at Feng Bujue’s back.

Calm Speaker and Swan next to him roasted: “Why would you want to bet for such an obvious thing…”

…………

These four players in the game are far beyond normal people, climbing along the bean stem is easy for them. Not long after, they have successfully entered the “sky” painted on the ceiling. Of course, the world around them is still 3D from their perspective.

From this moment, it is unclear which “floor” did they reach. After another ten minutes, the players will exceed the height of any building in the real world.

About twenty minutes later, they saw a golden cloud. The cloud is solid, and next to the beanstalk, there is a giant leaf on the stalk that stretches out towards the side of the cloud.

Seeing this obvious path, the four immediately accelerated towards the target. Two minutes later, they jumped into the clouds.

Standing on the golden clouds, their sights are suddenly widened. Here is like a continent on a cloud, everything is shrouded in golden brilliance.

Just over a hundred meters away, there is a Disney-like castle that is common in fairy tales. Looking at it from afar, they can see that on the spire of the highest tower of the castle, there is even a long ladder, which leads to a higher cloud above it.

“From that ladder, we should be able to go to the fifth floor,” Feng Bujue said.

“You still hold the concept of ‘this is a building’ now?” Autumn Wind said.

“What I care more is… When did Tin Woodman go? Will we meet it on the upper floor?” Swan groaned.

“I think it’s better to focus on the situation in front of us,” Calm Speaker said. “If we are still in the story of Jack and Beanstalk… will there be a giant in the castle in front of us?”

“Come, get your broom.” Feng Bujue ignored him and handed the broom to Autumn Wind.

“Hold my broom. I’ll just keep the shoes.” Autumn Wind didn’t want to pick up the broom with saliva.

“Are~you~sure?” Feng Bujue asked with a prolonged voice.

“Absolutely,” Autumn Wind replied.

“Good!” Feng Bujue agreed flatly again, then placed the broom horizontally behind his neck, spread his arms, put his wrists on both ends of the broom, and wobbled toward the castle, humming in his mouth: “Bitter sea ~ Love and hate abound ~ In this world ~ It is difficult to escape the fate ~” 3)

“Oh… For God’s sake​​…” Swan could not help but laugh: “He is really… funny all the time.”

“Must admire him at this point,” Calm Speaker agreed.

The three followed Feng Bujue toward the castle and came to the gate a few minutes later.

“It’s very obvious that,” Feng Bujue said. “At least in terms of the size of the gate, this castle is not for a giant.” He was right, although the height and width of the gate were relatively large. It still serves normal humans.

“Shall we knock on the door or…” Feng Bujue had retreated ten meters away before Calm Speaker finished.

“I support you mentally!” He shouted as if he was taking it for granted.

“Then let me knock the door this time,” Calm Speaker said. He hasn’t played a lead so far, and it’s his turn to follow the rotation.

Calm Speaker grabbed the ring on the door and knocked three times. After about twenty seconds, there was no movement in the door, so he knocked it three more times.

After one minute, there was still no response.

They separated and wanted to look in through the windows, but the windows of the castle were very high, and they were all coloured glass. Under the glow of golden light, they can’t see the situation inside well.

“No idea… Shall we open it by force then?” Autumn Wind suggested.

Swan agreed with a hum.

Calm Speaker rushed to the front and said, “Leave it to me, I can open it by force.” He faced the door, put his posture and used a skill with one palm.

As a result… nothing happened.

“Oh… I’m sorry, my Fighting Specialization is the only E, my skills have failed.” Calm Speaker said with a smirk.

Swan and Autumn Wind both smiled. “It’s ok, it’s ok.”

Calm Speaker said, “I’ll try again.” After saying that, he used the skill once more time.

This time, it seemed to be a success. The palm wind hit the door. The thick door was blown out in the middle of the thick door, and the two-door panels were loosened, moving away slightly.

For non-fighting players, everyone has such a practical level E fighting skill. Even if it is not available in the scenario, players will still go to the shop to buy one. Anyway, these kinds of skills are not expensive.

It is only Feng Bujue, as a puzzle-solving player and does not buy any skills specifically, made his Fighting Speciation level C…

“Feng Dude, there’s no danger. Can you come over?” Swan shouted back. “We don’t know what to do if the door is shut in a sudden.”

Feng Bujue didn’t need his mention. He had squinted in the distance to watch for a long time. When Swan spoke, he was already moving forward.

The four walked into the castle together. After opening the door, there is a curved staircase facing upwards. The stairs are close to the four walls and went up like a ring. A giant chandelier is suspended from a very long chain, suspended from the top, the dome is high, while this chandelier is very close to the ground, which can be reached with a hand.

By only bypassing the stairs, the players can reach the ends and back of the castle floor. Of course, the four did not go upstairs immediately but were prepared to explore the things on the first floor of the castle.

In the story of “Jack and Beanstalks”, the castle has a “chicken that lays golden eggs”. Even if there is no golden egg in this castle, it is good to have a few shiny tips.

But their San Value dropped after looking around…

This castle is both strange and magnificent. In the golden, dreamy light, the castle did not give people a fairy-tale feel, but there was a weird atmosphere that was beyond words.

The design of the stairs and chandeliers at the front door is a bit inexplicable, but this is just the beginning. Designs such as this can be found everywhere…

For example, the dining hall on the first floor has a long table in the middle, which is more than ten meters long. It has a zebra pattern on it, and there are dozens of giant high chairs on both sides… It’s like a place for tennis referees.

There are also a kitchen sink and a cooking table. The former is as large as a bathtub, the latter is as small as a mobile phone screen, though. The cooktop is as low as the squat pit in the toilet, while the firewood is added from an inclined slope.

Then, the dance floor in the middle of the dance hall is not circular or square, but lightning-shaped, where Spin Cobra can use Thunder Dribble 4). The stage for the band to stand looks like a concave slope for skateboarding, and the U-shaped ground couldn’t even flatten the instruments.

1. Senzu Bean (Dragon Ball Universe): When eaten, the consumer’s energy and physical health are restored to their fullest. The item was grown by Korin in Korin Tower. Feng Bujue again used Dragon Ball reference after this one, which’s also about Korin Tower.
2. Santoryu: Skill used by One Piece character Roronoa Zoro, which basically holds two blades in hands and another in the mouth.
3. ED of Steven Crow’s movie A Chinese Odyssey, the name of this song is Love in a Life Time, but I found no English version of it.
4. Thunder Dribble is the skill of Spin Cobra, a car in the series Bakusou Kyoudai Let’s & Go!
