Chapter 480: The Taunt of the Magikarp King

"Thank you for your patronage!"

After paying twenty thousand Dragon Coins, the server led the two of them to the riverbank and pointed at an entire row of small wooden boats.

"Would you two like to share one, or one each?"

They were truly small wooden boats, the kind that could only seat two people, ~and they were rowed with oars.

Fully manual, environmentally friendly, and pollution-free—just a bit of a waste—on stamina.

"No way? With a contraption like this, how long would it take to row? Wouldn't it be more practical to ride a Pokémon?"

The server said with a beaming smile, "Guests may certainly ride Pokémon if they wish, but I personally still recommend the small wooden boats."

Bai Jing really wanted to throw a punch at that smiling face—what kind of mystery was he trying to put on.

"Then bring one along."

He released Dragonite and tied the small wooden boat to its back.

"This should be fine, right?"

"Of course, as long as you're happy!"

"Set off!"

Looking at the small wooden boat being towed behind them, Deng Xin truly didn't understand.

"Why are we bringing it?"

"It might come in handy. Can't you see that server's hint?"

"A hint? There was one? How come I didn't notice?"

Bai Jing rolled his eyes. "Nothing, nothing, maybe I read it wrong!"

"Hey~ what's with that look? Do I look stupid?"

"I didn't say that—you said it yourself!"

"You… I'll bite you to death!"

Dragonite rolled its eyes—that's my back, not a bed, please have some self-respect!

The maze here was divided into block after block of water, and the task was to find the correct path leading to the endpoint.

Fine, that was nonsense—every maze was like this!

When they arrived at the first block of water, they found the path blocked, with a door on it, and a huge lock fastened to the door handle.

"Why does this feel like clearing levels? By the way, where are we supposed to find the key?"

The moment the words fell, a splash rang out on the water's surface as a Magikarp leaped out.

Both of them, with sharp eyes, noticed that hanging clearly around the Magikarp's neck was a key.

"Found it, grab it quick!"

With a splash, the Magikarp returned to the water.

"Hehe… watch me, this is my home turf!"

Deng Xin took out a Poké Ball, about to release a Pokémon, when the scene before her left her utterly stunned!

They saw Magikarp after Magikarp popping up one after another, filling the entire water surface, their bubble-blowing expressions looking just like they were taunting: Bai Chi! Bai Chi!

"Damn, the organizers are completely insane—how are we supposed to find it like this?"

·· ·····Seeking flowers· ······

"Hmph, leave it to me!"

Perhaps the Magikarp's taunt made Deng Xin feel she'd lost face, so she decided to give them a good show!

"Politoed, use Whirlpool!"

Under Politoed's havoc, the water current spun faster and faster, first forming a whirlpool, then a waterspout, sweeping all the dumbfounded Magikarp into it, and finally bursting open, raining down a shower of Magikarp.

"Quick, find the one with the key!"

"Found it!"
