Trigger the D-level side quest: Changes in Wonderland!
Mission Description: There seem to be some subtle changes in the wonderland, waiting for your discovery... You can go and investigate to uncover the truth behind it.
Mission Objective: There are new changes hidden in the Wonderland Natural Forest, Kazt Town, Haze Plains and River of Blood. Discover them and gain new rewards.
Mission rewards: 5,000 experience points, 80 silver medals and 20 circus contribution points.
"A new mission! Dear brothers and sisters!"
Goutoujin walked excitedly through the living room of the low-rent apartment, went upstairs, and knocked on his companions' doors one by one.
After a moment.
The top players of the Polaris team gathered on the sofa in the living room and began to discuss this matter.
"Has Wonderland changed? Is there any hidden update?"
Su Keying looked curious and spoke softly.
"That should be the case, otherwise they wouldn't have notified everyone... I just asked around, and all the players in the circus have triggered this mission. Maybe there's something new waiting for us to discover."
Dongyang nodded and replied.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
Goutoujin stood up quickly, rubbing his hands impatiently.
"Brother Gouzi, I know you're anxious, but don't worry... We haven't decided on a specific plan yet."
The Dragon King quickly advised.
"plan?"
Goutoujin looked confused.
"The map of Wonderland is so huge, you want to explore every corner? Idiot!"
Tail glared at him.
Goutoujin gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves and prepared for a fight.
Polaris beside him patted him on the shoulder and nodded immediately:
"The map is really too big, and it's not convenient to go through it all again in a short period of time... According to the mission description, we can also know that this new change is divided into regions, so we can start with the simplest and most familiar Natural Forest."
"agree!"
Bald was the first to agree, raising his right hand like a primary school student actively answering a question.
"I agree!"
Long Wang and Nana followed Bei Zige's footsteps and expressed their opinions.
Everyone immediately expressed some opinions, but generally agreed with Polaris' plan. The Natural Forest and the town of Kazt were the areas they were most familiar with, and it would be easier and more efficient to explore them.
Soon, everyone took action and collectively entered the wonderland through the silver snake ring, and then bought admission tickets from the statue of Jack... Now it is version 2.0 "Dark Resurrection", and the redemption threshold for admission tickets has been reduced to an extremely low level. It only requires 10 gold pounds or 10 contribution points to get one. Circus players basically go in and brush up when they have time.
Of course, their main activities are still limited to the Natural Forest and the town of Kazt. Only top players like the Polaris Team have pushed the progress beyond the Haze Plains.
After all, the danger levels of monsters in different areas are different, and generally show an increasing trend.
The reason why the circus players are so far ahead is thanks to this wonderland copy, where there are endless monsters, it is a good place to gain experience and level up, and the extraordinary materials produced can be sold for money, and the money earned can be used to buy more mystic resources... thus forming a virtuous circle.
This is also the reason why the circus has always been extremely attractive to players.
The Polaris team stood by the lake and raised the admission ticket in their hands. Suddenly, it spontaneously combusted until it turned into ashes.
At this moment, everyone looked at each other and jumped into the lake in unison. With a few splashes, they felt the world spinning around them. When they came to their senses, they found that the environment had changed and they were surrounded by a gray forest.
"Walk!"
Polaris pulled the brim of his hat down and spoke calmly.
He bought a dark blue top hat from somewhere, and imitated Jack's outfit, and asked a solar system craftsman to customize a metal staff sword.
With his windbreaker lifted up, he took a step forward, stepping on the thick dead branches and leaves, making a rustling sound.
Everyone had already gotten along very well, and they knew what to do without too many words... The team members followed the footsteps of Polaris in neat formation. Chenxi released the magic scroll of detection, and Honey Pomelo used her sharp extraordinary eyesight to be alert to the surroundings. The Dragon King spread his arms and turned into a large falcon, flying low over the heads of the crowd to explore the way. Dog-headed Gold and Forgotten Wuji were on the left and right sides, and the Dongyang horseman Kuang Ben Kuang was guarding the back of the team...
Everyone has their own tasks and responsibilities. They may play around at ordinary times, but when they really get into the mood, they will not let down the trust of their companions and friends.
Half an hour later.
Rest, rest, rest!
Several card throwing knives accurately slashed across the neck of an armored rat man. With a few ding sounds, the rusty chain mail was cut open and blood spurted out.
Immediately, a strong wind came, and the metal cane hit the rat man's helmet with a bang, leaving a huge dent. Polaris took advantage of the situation and drew out his cane sword, slashing it across his neck, and then turned around and kicked the rat man in the back of his head again.
Card bar!
A hideous rat head rolled down in a parabola.
Polaris performed a sword dance, shook off the blood, and then put the sword back into the staff.
Card.
Turning around, he adjusted his hat, looked at the rat-man corpses scattered all over the ground, and frowned:
"Still haven't found it..."
"These rats are a bit of a weakness for us now, but luckily we still have enough experience points... However, we are almost leaving the Natural Forest area, and we haven't noticed any new changes yet."
Dongyang walked over and said, drinking a bottle of tranquilizing potion.
The current strength of the Polaris team is between Sequence Eight and Sequence Seven, and their average Sanity value is around 40. However, this still cannot support them to stay in the wonderland for a long time, so they need to be supplemented with tranquilizing agents.
"Pack up the spoils and then continue walking forward."
Polaris said.
Dongyang sighed and nodded, then turned around and greeted everyone.
A moment later, they came to the cobblestone path again. When they passed a big rock, they saw the black cat Nada, who had killed them in an instant, still squatting on it.
"kill!"
Polaris didn't waste any time and gave the order directly.
The past is the past. Now they are no longer the same as before and have enough confidence to defeat the elite monster blocking their way.
The team members started fighting without hesitation, and rushed forward in perfect harmony.
"Damn outsiders! Don't even think about passing through here!"
Unlike the black cat in the real world, the one here still looks young. It picked up the huge axe as tall as a person and jumped towards the Polaris team...

After several minutes of fierce fighting, the Polaris team successfully killed Nada.
With Pumpkin, Dog-Head Gold, Forgotten Wuji and Dongyang as the front row, the rest of the team members had no pressure in output. Finally, Polaris used the "Great Transfiguration" to flash behind the Black Cat and bit off its head with a crocodile hand.
You killed the "Path Guardian" and gained 1500 experience points!
Su Keying walked forward and stared at the black cat's corpse that was slowly disappearing on the ground, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Hey, do you think this cat looks like a member of Mr. Jack's team? The captain of the Black Cat Warriors is also called 'Nada'."
"It does sound a bit like that when you put it that way."
Polaris groaned, then frowned slightly.
"Could it be that Mr. Jack can take the creatures out of Wonderland? But how can this be explained? They keep appearing..."
"There should be some connection between them. Maybe digging deeper can trigger a hidden plot... But for now, we probably don't have the strength to get in touch with it."
Dongyang walked over with the others and said.
Polaris and Su Keying nodded without further investigation.
At this time, when the black cat's body completely disintegrated and disappeared, a page of manuscript paper was left on the ground, shining, and it seemed to be some kind of task prop.
"Something exploded!"
Goutoujin was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and quickly bent down to pick it up.
Completed the D-level side quest: Changes in Wonderland!
Obtain mission rewards: 5,000 experience points, 80 silver medals and 20 circus contribution points!
You have passed the test of "The Guardian of the Trail" and unlocked the hidden copy of Wonderland "Jackspeight's Past"!
"Prologue: Red Apple Prison" has been unlocked!
He was slightly stunned, then turned around and said to the others:
"Did you guys get the hint too?"
"Um… "
Polaris and others nodded.
Among them, Dongyang took a deep breath, with anticipation in his eyes.
"I never thought that the new change would be a hidden copy!"
"How about going in and taking a look together?"
Dog-headed Gold asked from the side.
"Of course!"
Dongyang clenched his fists and chuckled.
"This is a hidden copy! And judging from the name, this is a series copy. We have only unlocked the prologue now... Mr. Jack's past should be related to him. I just don't know what good things will be produced in it!"
"Since no one has any objections, let's proceed without further delay."
Polaris looked around and said with a smile.
Goutoujin raised his hand slightly, and the manuscript paper he was holding suddenly burst into flames with a loud bang, and turned into ashes and dissipated.
Everyone felt that an invisible force was at work, and the surrounding scene became distorted, and the light gradually dimmed...
I don’t know how much time has passed.
They suddenly realized that they were lying on the ground, as if they had just woken up. They stood up quickly and found themselves in a closed prison, which was damp and dark, and they could faintly hear the squeaking of mice.
Enter the dungeon "Jackspeight's Past"...
The current chapter is "Prologue: Red Apple Prison"
Main mission objective of the dungeon (choose one): Help Jack escape from prison / Help the Red Apple Church suppress Jack
The Polaris team looked at the prompt that popped up on the panel and couldn't help but look at each other. Immediately, the scarlet prompt box slowly flashed -
The copy begins the countdown: ten, nine... two, one
The copy officially begins!
"Hey man, what do we do with these guys?"
As the countdown ended, the high-level players could faintly hear a guard outside the prison whispering.
"Heh... According to the priest, they will be sacrificed tonight."
Another guard replied.
The members of the Polaris team immediately realized that the prototype of this copy was exactly what Mr. Jack had experienced in the past... and the young man sitting on the ground without saying a word was his past self!
"—Brothers, how do we choose?"
Dog-head gold spoke in the chat channel.
"—Is there any need to ask? It must be to help Jack escape! If you dare to choose the opposite, I will chop off your vitals right now, believe it or not?!"
Tail tone immediately threatened.
Several people then spoke one after another, but Polaris finally confirmed the team's choice:
"— Let's help Mr. Jack first this time. According to the original trajectory, he escaped from the prison, so this is just going with the flow and the difficulty will be relatively small... Our main goal is not to clear the game, but to understand the general process, so that it will be convenient for the second round later."
"—Okay, got it!"
"—I understand, Brother Beizi."
Everyone finalized the plan.
Polaris ignored the men and women huddled in the corner, and walked straight to the young man Jack, stretched out his hand with a smile and said:
"Hello, my name is North Star."
