Time Traveler Help Hotline

"How about something less traditional?" Ji Mo asked curiously. Anyway, he wasn't afraid of rules, and even if Jiu Chong Lou bought it, he could only get powerless candy.

Hmm... Xiao Jiu is always playing pranks on me. Should I secretly buy two to retaliate?

Ji Mo pondered, then doubted whether it would work. The level of the applied rule was too low, and it still wouldn't work on high-level extraordinary beings.

The little elf thought for a moment, then pulled out a pink candy: "TS candy, a must-have for pranking your companions!"

"...What candy?" Ji Mo wondered if she had misheard you.

"TS Candy." The little fairy said with a serious face, "Eating it will change you to another gender. The user's race must be of binary gender."

"Give me--"

"She doesn't want to."

Ji Mo tightly covered Jiu Chonglou's mouth.

The little sprite blinked innocently and whispered, "Miss, actually some amusement park rides have a similar effect..."

"I heard you." Ji Mo coughed heavily.

The little elf exclaimed and covered her mouth with her little hand, too afraid to say anything more.

The humans who can hear my voice must be far more powerful than me.

"Two marshmallows, pink and blue, that's all." Ji Mo quickly finalized her request. "Thank you."

Only after dragging Jiu Chonglou away from the candy cart with the cotton candy did Ji Mo let go of her hand to let her breathe.

"Huff huff huff... If it were an ordinary person, they would be dead by now if you covered them like that," Jiu Chonglou complained. "You're immune to being hit, so what are you afraid of?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry." Ji Mo glanced sideways, seeing through Jiu Chonglou's thoughts. "You're different. You'll definitely try ten thousand times, betting on one in ten thousand."

"You can trick me too," Jiu Chonglou said, defiant yet supporting the idea of ​​mutual sabotage: "I don't mind."

Ji Mo subconsciously glanced at her chest, the curves of which were comparable to a vast plain. Even a dedicated flat-chested second-generation gamer would be moved to tears and call her a good sister: "...If I don't look at your face, just at your front and back, you're no different from a brother."

"Praise me more, I love to eat." Jiu Chonglou proudly puffed out her chest, which she didn't have at all.

"I wasn't praising you."

"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?"

Is this sentence used in this context?

Ji Mo was too lazy to argue with Jiu Chonglou. He regretted going out with her so early, as it would add several hours to his preparation time.

He could only hope that the rides here would function normally.

"What should we play first? The roller coaster? The giant swing?" Ji Mo asked.

"Since we're here, we should definitely do something special." Jiu Chonglou chuckled, opened his phone, and pulled up a picture of a building: "This one!"

……

██ One of the most famous attractions in the amusement park is the Blind Box Apartment.

It's less like an apartment and more like a super-sized hotel.

From the outside, countless window panes are arranged like copies, towering into the clouds, making it difficult for ordinary people to judge the floor level with the naked eye.

Surprisingly, there were quite a few tourists who came because of its reputation. Many people stayed in the lobby on the first floor, and everyone had paper and pen in their hands.

Upon entering, a strange figure resembling an old-fashioned television set greets you.

"Are you interested in participating in the blind box apartment project? If so, please come here to pick up a pen and a questionnaire."

Its television was playing a home surveillance video. A human child was watching TV while hugging a teddy bear. The television noticed Ji Mo's gaze and a female-sounding voice came out: "This is my human. Isn't he cute?"

Ji Mo noticed the child's chubby face on TV and nodded subconsciously: "...Indeed."

The child seemed to hear Ji Mo's voice, looked around, and the TV chuckled contentedly twice, reassuring the child inside before automatically switching to mute mode and handing over the questionnaire and pen.

"As the name suggests, after entering the apartment, the two will be randomly assigned to rooms with different rules, and can only leave after meeting the specified conditions."

"You can choose between the trial version or the long-term version. The difference is that the former only requires completing one room challenge, while the long-term version requires completing conditions in multiple rooms. If you are a newcomer, we recommend trying the trial version first."

"At the same time, considering that everyone's threshold is different, we will adjust the weight or disable it according to the customer's preference for checking the boxes."

"If you want a surprise, I suggest filling it out separately."

As soon as Ji Mo took the questionnaire, Jiu Chonglou stepped aside, seemingly not wanting him to see the selected answers.

"...Alright then."

Ji Mo looked down at the contents and was immediately amazed by the first option.

Whether death is acceptable (and results in resurrection) depends on point 2, not point 3.

What is the acceptable level of cruelty in death?

Are you willing to accept an attack that could cause serious injury or disability? Yes/No

[Would you accept memory blocking for a better gameplay experience? Yes/No]

【whether……】

The questionnaire has over a hundred options, and at the end there is a fill-in-the-blank question for customers to make special requests.

There's also a page filled with special notes.

[Special Notes: This attraction involves changes in physiological states such as resurrection and gender, affecting players at level six or below. If you are at level seven or above, please suppress your level during the experience and check the "No" box for all options related to death.]

[Please do not attempt to hide your advanced level. This apartment has a level detection device. Once detected, individuals at level seven or above will be automatically marked as "no" even if the death-related options are not checked.]

Do not attempt to bring corpses into rooms with resurrection rules. Room rules cannot resurrect people who died outside of those rules! Absolutely not!

This is an amusement park ride, not a real apartment or hotel. Please do not sleep on the floor here even if you cannot complete the required activities!

Please do not damage the room due to its embarrassing condition. We will pursue legal action against anyone who causes irreversible damage.

[In the event of intentional death that is not a result of natural causes, this amusement park will not be held responsible. The perpetrator will be handed over to the world in which the individual resides, in accordance with the law.]

Please do not...

Even Ji Mo's eyes started to hurt from looking at this series of precautions.

It seems that since the blind box apartment opened, it has encountered many bizarre situations.

After he finished reading, he looked around and found that many people couldn't stand reading it at all, and some even filled out the questionnaire halfway through by randomly ticking off boxes.

The TV set-top didn't seem to care, carefully collecting each questionnaire and asking the tourists to proceed to their designated rooms on the specified floors.

Meanwhile, at Jiuchonglou, Ji Mo handed in her paper while she was reading the instructions.

"What if the conditions selected by the companions are different? For example, one can accept death, and the other cannot?" Ji Mo asked the TV camera.

"If the option to accept psychological harm is selected, we will provide a room with a dream-like effect to achieve a situation where death and non-death coexist." The TV screen paused for a moment, then continued to explain, "If one party completely rejects death-related conditions, while the other party does the opposite, we will require both parties to enter separate rooms alone."
