Meet the principal

Afterwards, Reiner accompanied Phoenix on some other rides. With the experience of the first two rides, Phoenix gradually became less restrained and devoted himself to entertainment.

After enjoying an affordable and delicious lunch at the theme park restaurant, Reiner took Phoenix to a building that looked slightly incongruous with the park's architectural style from the outside.

This one-story building is unpretentious and completely different from the fancy and eye-catching facilities in other theme parks.

But as soon as he entered the house, Phoenix noticed something different.

In other entertainment facilities, there are all kinds of equipment on one side, and you can tell how they are played at a glance. But now in this empty room, there are only a few compartments, and you can't understand what's going on in them. Mystery.

Reiner and Phoenix came to one of the empty compartments and saw that it was not spacious and could only accommodate two people sitting side by side. Inside the compartment was a black stone.

The stone was magically projected with words and images, and it seemed to have buttons, which made Phoenix frown.

"What's this?"

She has never seen anything like this. If the roller coaster is the result of machinery and Castle William is the result of illusion, then this thing in front of her, with complex words projected on the simple black stone, seems to contain a complex magical structure?

Phoenix pays more attention to practical training than the theoretical school. This does not mean that she knows nothing about magic theory. In fact, some of the teaching aids at Phoenix Magic Academy are written by Phoenix. However, she is completely unable to understand what she is seeing. The black stone and the magic within it.

"This is my personal little invention. This venue has only been opened in the past two days. As for what it is specifically, we can try it and see what it is."

Reiner smiled mysteriously. He motioned for Phoenix to sit down first, and then he sat next to him. Since the space was not spacious, the two people's arms touched from time to time, but obviously, they were not interested in such things. care.

Phoenix looked at the projected picture with all his concentration. It was a picture of birds singing, flowers fragrant, blue sky and white clouds. For some reason, there were several thick pipe-like things sticking out on the ground, which seemed a bit out of place with the scene.

In the middle of the picture, there was the word "Super Mario" written on it. Phoenix didn't know who Mario was, and she didn't know why the super prefix was added. She saw Reiner reach out and click on the bottom of "Super Mario" The words "Start Game" appeared on the screen, and the screen suddenly went black, and a middle-aged man with a double body, a red hat, and overalls appeared, looking like a worker repairing the sewer.

Next came a plot. Phoenix watched it carefully and got a general understanding of the background of the game. The bad guys took away the princess, and the protagonist Mario needed to pass through many tests to rescue the princess.

The plot ended and the game officially entered. Reiner asked Phoenix to operate it himself. With the help of the tutorial, Phoenix quickly understood the purpose of this "game".

To put it simply, you just keep running and jumping on a flat map, avoiding enemies, crossing obstacles, and reaching the other end of the map. At first glance, it seems very simple.

Although this game can be played by two people, Reiner decided to let Phoenix try it out by himself first.

Phoenix followed the prompts,

I invested two copper coins, which is the cost of playing the game once.

Soon, she began to operate the plumber with the red hat jumping up and down on the map. At first, Phoenix easily crossed some deep valleys, but it didn't take long for her to encounter problems.

That's a turtle.

This turtle slowly swam between the two stones on the map, but it happened to be on the path that Phoenix must pass through.

"Do I need to step on it?"

Phoenix has crushed several mushroom men before, but this was the first time he encountered a turtle.

"You can try."

Reiner didn't answer directly, but asked Finnis to bravely try.

Phoenix thought for a moment, then jumped over and stepped on the turtle's shell.

Just as she expected, the turtle immediately retreated into its shell and stopped moving.

However, the turtle shell did not disappear immediately like the previous mushroom man, but stayed in place. The red hat plumber stepped on the turtle shell, and the turtle shell began to slide quickly to one side, and rebounded after hitting the stone. Come back.

But the plumber controlled by Phoenix didn't have time to react, and directly hit the rebounding turtle shell, let out a scream, and disappeared.

The screen quickly went black, and the words "Game Over" appeared, but Phoenix, her hands still stayed on the control joysticks and buttons, seemed to have not yet reacted.

"ah......"

After two seconds, the disappointed Phoenix came back to his senses and looked at Reiner.

"There is actually something like this!"

She was a little unconvinced. This kind of deceptive operation was really bullying. Phoenix knew that he could trample these monsters to death, but he didn't expect that the shell left by the turtle could kill him!

"No, I have to try again."

With that said, Phoenix took out two copper coins and put them into the game console.

The game started again. This time, she was familiar with the road and soon arrived at the place where she had just met the turtle.

"The first step on it will only make the turtle shrink. As long as you don't touch it, it won't slide."

She quickly figured out the turtle's movement pattern, so she nimbly jumped onto the slow-moving turtle. With a single tap, the turtle retracted into its shell. Then, Phoenix hurriedly changed direction in the air. , landed firmly next to the turtle shell, and the turtle shell that ended her game just now remained motionless in place.

"Success!"

Phoenix clenched his fist. This sense of accomplishment was as intoxicating as successfully analyzing a magic spell model.

"I'll join you too."

Reiner saw that Phoenix had adapted to the game very well, so he also joined the battle. Different from the plumber uncle in the red hat, he was a tall uncle in green clothes. The two of them were jumping in tandem in the virtual world. go ahead.

About an hour later, the two finally defeated the bad guys and rescued the princess. Phoenix was finally able to relax his tense nerves and breathed a sigh of relief.

It had been a long time since she had paid so much attention to something other than magic. This black machine and the two little people seemed to have endless attraction, making her addicted to it.

"Sir Iain Gray, what on earth is this?"

Phoenix turned his head and asked Reiner.

"This is a magic computer."

Reiner said when he saw that this had successfully aroused the other party's interest.
