Doomsday Cruise

Chapter 29: Mr. A's Circus 16

Views:

Mo Xiaoyao and Jiang Yan walked into the tent slowly behind the crowd, they all took their seats according to their number, and no one was crowded.

Like those projects, the tent doesn't look huge from the outside, but it's roomy inside. In the center of the venue is a circular stage about half a meter above the ground, surrounded by a wide circle of loess roads. Judging from Mo Xiaoyao’s only experience of watching a big circus live, it should be reserved for real circus performances Plus, it acts as a buffer between the stage and the auditorium.

On the periphery of this circle of loess roads, there are circles of audience work and rest made up of long benches, in the form of steps. At intervals, about the length of four benches, there will be a passage for people to go up and down the stairs.

In the first and second rows facing the stage, there are about 20 individual seats with armrests and backrests, which should be the VIP seats that the clown said. From the aspect of watching the show, it is indeed the best in the entire tent. seat.

When Mo Xiaoyao and the others came in, there were already many phantom NPCs sitting in the arena, and they didn't know when they came in. In addition, there are some NPCs wearing the same uniform as the street vendors outside, with a belt hanging around their necks and a large tray attached to it, walking back and forth in the aisle, selling the goods in their hands.

"Light sticks, small speakers, support flags, poster boards, ribbon injectors, all kinds of support items are available, come and buy them!"

"Popcorn, lollipops, plum juice, clear spring water, all kinds of sweet, salty, bitter, spicy, everything, come and buy it!!"

"Souvenirs, souvenirs, souvenirs from Mr. A's circus, come and buy them all, don't miss them if you have money!"

Not in a rush to buy things yet, the two found their seats and sat down according to the guidance of the A-shaped brooch. Fortunately, they were next to each other. Mo Xiaoyao looked around and found that the players who could come in had been scattered to various positions in the tent.

"It seems that they are not all next to each other." Jiang Yan turned his head and said something to Mo Xiaoyao, and casually summoned a waiter who was selling wooden trays, "What do you sell?"

The waiters didn't look like those phantom NPCs, but more like the plastic mannequins in various clothes in the window who came to life. They were very flexible and fluent in speech. Just looking at that face made a toothache.

The NPC came to Jiang Yan with a wooden tray, and showed him his goods: "Light sticks, small speakers, support flags, poster boards, ribbon injectors, all kinds of support items, everything, should you buy one?"

Jiang Yan leaned forward to look, and Mo Xiaoyao moved his head beside him. The items here still follow the rules of the stalls outside. If you don't buy them, you won't see the effect. The two met head to head and researched it. One took the support flag and the other took the poster board. These two are not the lowest price, but they are currently the most cost-effective ones they can choose.

"What effect?" After the NPC collected the money and went to find the next customer with satisfaction, Jiang Yan began to speak. The index finger and thumb of his right hand kept twirling the small flagpole of the support flag, "This is to increase the number of actors by 50." % favorability."

Mo Xiaoyao stood the A4-sized poster board on his straight legs: "Resist 3 environmental disturbances."

Jiang Yan: "... what do you mean?"

"Literally." Mo Xiaoyao held the poster board, slightly raised his head and looked at the empty stage in front of him, "This thing can't even be taken out of this tent, guess what will happen soon?"

Jiang Yan: "...It's not a good thing anyway. Let's buy the other two first." As he spoke, he recruited waiters who sold the other two kinds of things. The two bought popcorn and sticks respectively according to their abilities. Sugar, plum juice and apple juice.

On the souvenir, the two chose the badge of a small tent with wide stripes by coincidence, and there is also a signboard with the word A hanging under the tent.

"You thought of it too?" Jiang Yan played with the badge in his hand, and looked at Mo Xiaoyao with bright eyes, obviously he was very happy to connect with his teammates.

"This is the only one that has anything to do with Mr. A. Since it's Mr. A's circus, you have to bring something with you back."

Mo Xiaoyao felt a little regretful in her heart. She also saw a little doll with double ponytails among the souvenirs. The craftsmanship should have been produced by a witch. Unfortunately, the price was too expensive. It's not enough to buy together, so I have to settle for the next best thing to choose a tent badge with better quality and lower price.

Circus Badge (Normal)

Introduction: Designed by Mr. A, it is one of his most proud works.

How to use: Wear it on your body.

Function: Unknown. A copy can be brought out.

Notes: Guess who will love it, who will hate it, and who will want it

Jiang Yan fiddled with the badge in his hand over and over again: "I always think this thing will be useful in the future."

"En." Mo Xiaoyao responded, threw the brooch into the carry-on bag, took a sip of the sweet plum juice on the side, and frowned, the taste was a bit too much.

Although Jiang Yan didn't look up, as if he had eyes on the top of his head, he casually stuffed a lollipop to Mo Xiaoyao: "Hey, fortunately, the effect of taking one bite is the same as eating it up, otherwise it would be fatal." .”

Food and drink, which can give them 30% speed and dexterity bonus, are limited to the tent. Coupled with the effect of the things bought at the street vendor before, if the buffs on the two of them were visible, there would be enough for two rows.

Just as Mo Xiaoyao was about to say something, all the lights in the tent suddenly went out, and several beams of light crisscrossed back and forth above the circular stage, and finally landed on the middlemost place.

The clown who sold the tickets at the door before did not know when he stepped onto the stage, and on his shoulders stood a man with a short stature that looked like a dwarf.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my circus." The dwarf looked short in stature, but his voice was unexpectedly loud, allowing everyone to hear his speech even without a microphone.

The phantom NPCs seemed to know Mr. A. After he finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause, accompanied by applause and shouts, making the atmosphere lively.

Mr. A was obviously very satisfied with this effect. With his two short legs slightly bent, he jumped from the clown's shoulders to his head, bowed to salute in all directions, and behaved very gentlemanly.

"Thank you for your support, thank you! I know you can't wait to see the show, so I won't repeat myself, please enjoy our wonderful show!"

After the voice fell, the lights on the stage were also turned off, and the entire tent was completely invisible. Mo Xiaoyao straightened his back, put the poster board flat on his bent knees, and listened vigilantly to the movement around him. Unexpectedly, his right hand resting on the stool was suddenly pressed down.

She was trembling all over, and she couldn't hold back her cry. She took out the high-heeled shoes from her carry-on bag with her left hand, and just about to smash them in the dark, she heard Jiang Yan's voice in her ears, and she could even feel the squirt from his mouth. Warm breath.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Mo Xiaoyao froze, stopped what he was doing, and was about to say something in response, when the lights on the stage were turned on again, and then the lights came on, and the audience seats were no longer pitch black, at least they could see Clear the snacks and drinks at hand, as well as the people sitting next to you.

Jiang Yan looked at Mo Xiaoyao's high-heeled shoes that had been held up in the air before he could take them back, calmly withdrew his left hand that was covering his right hand, pretended nothing had happened, and said softly: "I thought You will be afraid of the dark."

"I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of people." With a poker face, Mo Xiaoyao calmly put away the weapon in his hand, turned his eyes away from Jiang Yan's face, and turned to the stage, "It's started. "

"Well, don't let your guard down." Jiang Yan responded and looked towards the stage. At this time, the first show was acrobatics. The NPCs that appeared were all scattered around the circus before, performing ball throwing, fire breathing, NPCs like somersaults.

Thinking that something would happen, the two of them kept tense and vigilant, but the shows followed one after another, nothing happened, as if they were really watching a circus performance on the earth before, all they needed to do was cheer, eat, drink, And waving the support items in your hand is enough.

Mo Xiaoyao quickly figured out the key point: "I remember that Mr. A mentioned, let's watch the band performance at the closing ceremony, and the clown also mentioned Thunder, the key point should be on them."

Jiang Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and approved of Mo Xiaoyao's conjecture. He felt that his companion was really good. He could notice all kinds of clues that were easily overlooked, combined them, and guessed another one based on the current situation. closest to the real answer.

He hoped to have an in-depth conversation with Mo Xiaoyao after returning to the boat. Since the two sides cooperated so tacitly, it was almost time to introduce themselves to each other and increase mutual understanding.

And after going back this time, the power distribution on the ship will definitely usher in a new reshuffle, and it's time for him to talk to Mo Xiaoyao about his future development plan.

While thinking about it, Jiang Yan watched the circus performance with Mo Xiaoyao next to him. In all fairness, the level of these actors is very good, even on the unexploded earth, they should be at the top level in the industry.

So the time watching the show was not difficult, but when Mr. A came on stage, Jiang Yan felt a little unfulfilled.

Mr. A still stood on the shoulders of the clown, and he was carried onto the stage by the other party. Because of his excitement, his face was covered with oil, and it shone under the light of the stage lights.

First he raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then into the microphone in front of him, Mr. A yelled out his last line: "Then, in the remaining 10 minutes, please enjoy the last program of this closing performance—from" Thunderbolt "Excellent performance!"

As the voice fell, the lights on the stage flickered for a while, and then, a band composed of 8 people appeared on the stage out of thin air.

In an instant, thunder and lightning flashed inside the tent, and small whirlwinds more than half a meter high appeared in various places in the auditorium, sweeping away many phantom NPCs nearby.

Screams, thunder, musical instruments, the roar of the lead singer, all kinds of sounds filled the tent for a while.
