Chapter 640: Chapter 307 Joy City_2

Everyone immediately looked on with admiration as Lin Wu said, "With that ability, you can definitely give it a try. Sign up for ice-fishing, with Maya in charge of the underwater catch."

Maya: "Ice swimming."

Lin Wu said, "Maya, your ability can work wonders during ice-fishing and catch Dawn off guard. But your ability can’t pull any tricks in ice swimming. Let’s analyze this, who would choose ice swimming? Obviously, someone good at ice swimming. So why would Dawn let someone good at ice swimming win in ice swimming? Conversely, if a landlubber participates in ice swimming, that could surprise Dawn, allowing us to complete the challenge smoothly."

Hong Yi and others looked at Lin Wu with admiration: You really can talk nonsense.

Maya said speechlessly, "You stayed up all night and your mind is still not clear. Go to sleep." Totally paranoid delusions.

...

Like a mountain road, the train wound its way up the mountain and arrived at Snow Ridge Station. Snow Ridge Station was a breathtakingly beautiful spot; everyone stood by the railway track, with a sheer abyss below. Looking into the distance, the high-altitude view of the snowscape gave one a sense of standing as tall as the heavens. The surrounding trees were hung with ice, long icicles encasing the branches like amber, irresistibly tempting people to take a bamboo pole and knock at it.

The station master welcomed everyone to Joy City at Snow Ridge Station, and his introduction was roughly the same as what Hong Yi had found out. Parking for 24 hours, with a hotel, hot springs, and all facilities for free. There were many challenges waiting for players, but each player could only choose one challenge at a time, and a successful challenge was needed before claiming a second different one. There were unlimited attempts for challenges.

The best thing was that Joy City had bonfires set up everywhere, which could help the five shivering people recover their stamina.

There were a total of five challenges: snow-railing, ice-skating, ice swimming, ice-fishing, and snowmobiling, and it was time to choose now.

Lin Wu stretched out his hand and took the ice-skating tag: "I can’t ice skate, so I choose ice skating." Carrying his persecution complex to the end.

Maya took ice swimming, and the three from Hong Yi’s group each took a different challenge.

The station master led everyone into a canyon, and Joy City appeared before them all. It was an extremely luxurious and grand city of joy, with no visitors in sight. But it was not without NPCs; to the side of the hotel was a large hot spring swimming pool, with handsome men and beautiful women NPCs constantly making splashing laughs.

As a virtuous novel, everyone resisted this temptation.

Following the landmarks, everyone first accompanied Lin Wu to the ice-skating area. The referee NPC greeted Lin Wu and explained the rules: "Slide the ice block to the center of the target, and covering the center counts as passing." The distance to the center was 15 meters, with various sizes of ice blocks to choose from.

Seeing such an ice-skating challenge, everyone inwardly cried out that this was bad, getting exactly what Lin Wu jinxed.

Lin Wu made a victorious V sign with his hands and started ice-skating. Soon, he realized it was a bit tricky. Fifteen meters was quite a distance, and using small ice blocks was difficult for hitting the center, while large ones were really exhausting. So Lin Wu had Wai block the small ice block he slid out, making it land perfectly in the center.

Referee: "Foul!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Lin Wu was a teammate, it was hard to accept him getting through by sheer bluster. Lin Wu, red with embarrassment and anger, said, "Go on, go play your own games."

Continuing to ice skate, Lin Wu found it even trickier; though the ice blocks were large, not one was exactly the same, and none had the same weight, meaning he had no reference. However, true to his nature, Lin Wu skated as he wished without learning from past failures. And just like that, not ten tries later, an ice block stopped precisely in the center of the target.

Acceleration Card: The maximum speed of the train is increased to 120 kilometers per hour, and the optimal energy consumption is adjusted from 50 kilometers per hour to 60 kilometers per hour.

This thing was really nice; though Dawn was a trickster, they kept their word. When they said it was a precious item, it truly was one.

With the Acceleration Card in hand, Lin Wu, feeling quite pleased with himself, went first to visit the ice swimmer: Maya.

Maya was at the ice swimming referee’s side, warming up. Lin Wu boastfully displayed the Acceleration Card. Maya was, of course, thrilled, but she couldn’t stand his smugness.

Maya asked, "Can I start now?"

The referee politely said, "Not yet."

Lin Wu peeked into the ice hole and asked, "You’re going in there?"

Maya nodded: "I’ll swim a lap and then come back."

Lin Wu frowned and Maya asked, "What’s wrong?"

"No trap, too honest, this isn’t Dawn’s style."

The two argued about this for about five minutes, after which Maya asked the referee again, "Can I start now?"

The referee squatted down, touched the water in the ice hole, and shook his head: "I’m sorry, not yet."

Lin Wu felt something was amiss and asked, "When can it start?"

The referee answered, "Ice swimming, of course, starts in the winter. It’s now summer, so we have to wait."

"F*ck!" Maya cursed immediately and charged forward, intent on hitting the referee.

Lin Wu hastily stopped her: "Don’t be rash, fighting will get you thrown in jail."

"Let me beat him to death." Rage filled, Maya lost all sense, embodying an air of ’I’ll kill if Lin gets in my way, I’ll slaughter if Wu does.’

Lin Wu tried to calm her down: "How about we go check out the other unlucky ones, so you don’t feel so pathetic?" ’Shall we come back in winter?’ He didn’t dare say that, lest Maya throw him into the ice hole herself.

Seeing Maya’s anger dissipate, Lin Wu grabbed her arms and half-dragged her away.

Shuihua had chosen snow-railing, which normally would just be dogs running around pulling a sled. Here it was different; the challenge was to train a group of dogs that had never pulled a sled before to run on ice for 5 kilometers. Poor Shuihua had already fallen countless times. The two found him in a medical station on the side where he was being mandatorily treated by the referee. Treatment didn’t mean lying in a hospital bed, but being sewn up without anesthetics.
