Chapter 1 The Dreamlike Space

In the central courtyard of the Golden Bee Amusement Park, a gigantic magical device reflected the dazzling lights of the park, creating a dreamy spectacle.

Even Boss Cat was familiar with this kind of device.

The activation terminal for artificial shadow worlds used for commercial purposes in the Southern Continent wasn't as expensive as those used for combat training. It was mainly used for scientific research, entertainment, and lifestyle services.

It was very similar to the artificial shadow world activation terminal on the seventh floor of the Ikeryte Academy's Learning and Education Building. Its shell was made of mithril and magic crystals, and the connections within were like the veins of life, both cold and full of magic, except it wasn't as long as the one at the academy, which stretched for more than ten meters.

Last time, when Lanqi helped Loren and Julianna get together, he took Boss Cat there and had an ice prison trial with the top student of the Yaroran Royal Academy, gambling on Loren's fate.

"Oh? So you two are here to participate too? Then quickly get ready."

The activity administrator, dressed in a golden bee costume, immediately smiled and motioned for Lanqi and Talia to pass through the gate.

Originally, he thought these two were here to cause trouble, but now that he looked closely, it seemed like they knew each other and were here to grab a spot.

"The pair behind you, please wait for the next round."

The activity administrator looked at Loren and Julianna behind them.

"No problem."

Loren and Julianna both replied.

They were planning to spend a leisurely evening here anyway, so there was no rush. It would be more fun to watch the show together than to participate in the activity.

Lanqi put the little black cat on the ground.

He glanced at Boss Cat, his tall figure overshadowing it, and walked resolutely towards the gate.

"Meow..."

Excited voices gradually rose around the Golden Bee Amusement Park.

"Someone is challenging the Love Maze Academy again."

"This is my favorite show! I need to grab some late-night snacks; this is perfect entertainment!"

There wasn't much time to prepare.

The activity administrator used the key to open the Void Gate of the terminal.

"This entertainment shadow world requires both parties to agree to enter, and both parties must agree to leave. There are short breaks between each question, and both parties can discuss whether to leave."

The administrator explained the rules of the shadow world.

Lanqi and Talia stood in front of this colorful Void Gate.

They looked at each other, and they could see a hint of nervousness in each other's eyes.

Although they didn't have much opportunity to communicate, they were both sure that the other had something they wanted.

"Just play a few rounds and then come out."

Talia said in a low voice.

She only needed to let Miss Zhu Zhu see the danger of this game, and her mission would be accomplished.

"No problem."

Lanqi nodded in agreement.

The danger of this game was only for couples, and he and Talia were just friends, so it was fine.

Neither of them were newcomers to shadow worlds, so Lanqi and Talia didn't say anything more and walked into this colorful Void Gate.

The central courtyard instantly became extremely quiet, as if all the sounds were shielded.

The eyes of many tourists outside the entertainment facilities were focused on the magic screen.

The screen flickered with brilliant light, and a transdimensional space like a time tunnel opened up, then briefly plunged into darkness.

[Let's start skydiving]

[Your worries will be swept away with the jump]

[Nothing is more exciting than dancing]

[Don't be afraid, because! I am your destined soulmate]

In the cheerful, disjointed music, the curtain reopened, and it had become the scene of the shadow world: Love Maze Academy!

The scenery of the real world gradually became transparent, replaced by a graffiti space full of vibrant colors.

It was like a classroom, a stage, and a jumping platform. The ground and the sky were always changing suddenly, with pixelated blocks and dynamically scrolling backgrounds appearing.

Lanqi and Talia were sitting in this empty classroom, one on the left and one on the right, each holding a small blackboard, facing the camera.

At this moment, they had transformed into youthful and beautiful students in the same school uniform, tilting their heads in confusion to look at each other.

Even simple movements and touching the blackboard in their hands would emit exaggerated light effects, sound effects, and visual symbols.

If it weren't for the heavy video game fantasy colors of this shadow world, the two of them would have looked like childhood sweethearts going to school together.

"Ohyi! Are you two ready?"

Suddenly, a cartoon little bee sprite appeared in mid-air and asked them after spinning around twice.

At the same time, outside the shadow world, the activity administrator was holding a microphone and saying the same thing on stage.

As the host, he could connect inside and outside the shadow world and initiate conversations with the two challengers inside.

In addition, the Golden Bee Amusement Park's professional directors would often switch the camera from the shadow world to the activity stage and the audience, bringing everyone a sitcom-like experience.

"Let's begin."

In the graffiti classroom, Lanqi and Talia both nodded slightly.

Because they had already seen the brief rules of this shadow world appear before their eyes—

The magical devices of the little blackboards in the hands of boys and girls will present the most authentic answers in their hearts.

In the love classroom, you will be asked questions in turn, or both of you may be asked.

The suffix "male" indicates that the male answers, "female" indicates that the female answers, and "male & female" indicates that both male and female must answer.

You can pass the level and win the first prize if you can complete the fourteenth question.

Note: The questions are randomly selected from the question bank, and there are multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and true-false questions. The further you go, the higher the danger level will be for each level.

Note: If you are judged to be impersonating a couple midway, you will be disqualified from the reward and ejected from the game.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

If this activity wasn't attended by a couple, there would be no risk of a breakup, and there was a very small probability of a social death.

So there were participants who had tried to bluff their way through before, but the host quickly caught that they were not a couple and disqualified them from the reward.

However, Lanqi and Talia weren't in it for the reward; they just wanted to cause trouble.

"It seems that this challenger is very confident, so let us wait and see what wonderful performance they will bring us!"

The host's voice mixed with music, instantly heating up the atmosphere near the central courtyard of the Golden Bee Amusement Park.

The animated host in the shadow world opened the card in his hand and glanced at it.

"The first question seems to be a freebie, just to familiarize you with the game mode."

He threw the card out.

Immediately, the first question appeared at the top of the magic screen, and also in Lanqi and Talia's vision—

Question 1 (Male & Female): How many times have you been on a date?

a. 0 times

b. 110 times

c. times

d. 100 times or more
