"Let's go, we're moving!" Zack and his group excitedly headed forward.
Meanwhile, Ben picked up a yellow brick from the ground.
"Everyone, let me do it. I'll use this brick to smash open the lock on the large door!"
As a member of the team, Ben spoke up to make his presence known.
As a smart and resourceful man who had found over 500 Moons in "Super Mario: Odyssey" and over 700 Korok Seeds in Hyrule.
Ben immediately saw through the puzzle-solving game before him.
There was a large door not far ahead, and an item resembling a brick at the starting point.
Did he need to think about this any further?
"Ben? What are you talking about?" Zack, walking at the front, turned around and looked at Ben, who was walking over holding a brick, with a speechless expression. Then, with a small push, the door in front of them was opened.
Seeing the door pushed open, and then looking at the brick in his hand, Ben was completely bewildered. "This doesn't make sense!"
If the door could be pushed open so easily, why put such an obvious brick by the entrance?
Wasn't that like taking off your pants to go to the toilet?
"Ben, I think with your intelligence, you're basically done with puzzle games. Just follow behind me," Zack sighed.
In the team's voice chat, Hannah and the other two also let out cheerful laughter.
"Nonsense! Get out of my way!" Ben threw the brick in his hand away and rushed towards the door.
"Holy crap, Ben, don't shove! Are you going to be the first one through when you're just watching?" Seeing Ben rush towards the door, Zack quickly started to move.
Hannah and the others next to them were not to be outdone, wanting to be the first to pass through the door.
The door wasn't very large, only big enough for one and a half people to fit through.
Combined with the game's hands that seemed to be coated in super glue, the situation immediately became very chaotic.
The five of them got stuck together right at the doorway. No one knew whose hand grabbed whose head, or whose hand grabbed whose belly.
Ten hands were intertwined, and the five people were blocking the doorway, unable to move.
It was just like your tangled headphones, controllers, keyboard, and charging cables.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Who's grabbing my head? Let go! Let go!"
"Whose hand is this! Stop pulling my head! I'll rip it off!"
"Stop pulling! Stop pulling!"
"I've already let go! Whose hand is still pulling!"
"Haha, whose hand can you be holding the door with one hand and my waist with the other!"
For a while, the situation was quite chaotic. The five people were like conjoined twins, standing at the door, holding onto each other and completely unable to get through.
The five people stood at the door, hurting each other for a while, before they finally agreed and let go of each other, one by one coming out of the door.
Of course, as agreed, no one was allowed to run around after leaving the door.
They were one whole, one team!
Just like when they used to play "Rainbow Six Siege," they would all die together, and then collectively watch the surveillance, enjoying the spectacular performance of the last random player on the team.
Now, playing this kind of PVE mini-game, they had to be united!
"Very good! Come, let's hold hands, heart to heart, and march towards the finish line ahead together." Passing through the door, Zack, standing in the middle, raised his arms and grabbed the two people on his left and right.
Then, the two people he grabbed also grabbed the two outermost people.
The five people formed a horizontal line and swayed forward.
The way the five people swayed looked like they had all drunk fake wine and had just come out of a hotel.
Just looking at them made people unable to stop laughing.
"Haha! This is like five big idiots!" In the voice chat, Joey, standing on the outside, couldn't help himself.
"Are you talking about yourself like that!" Wells, in the voice chat, chimed in.
Although it did look a bit like that, they shouldn't curse themselves!
The group walked forward, laughing and joking.
The first level ahead was a scene like an aerial garden; it wasn't difficult, at most it was a novice tutorial level.
But sometimes, the difficulty doesn't come from enemies, but from the teammates around you.
For example, right now.
They reached out and pressed the switch for the first door, and the five of them came out one after another, then lined up and walked forward in unison.
Although this level was called a mansion, the entire game scene was floating in the air. This meant that there were no walls around, and no invisible walls.
So, as they passed through a corner corridor, an accident suddenly happened.
The characters in the game were a bit unsteady when they walked, just like real drunkards.
Joey, walking on the outer edge, wasn't paying attention when turning and stepped on air, falling straight down.
At the same time, Ben, who was next to him, was dragged down halfway, and Zack in the middle was startled by this sight.
He let go of the hand that was holding Ben, but luckily, the other party was quick-handed, grabbing Joey's hand with one hand and clinging to the wall with the other just as they were about to fall.
"Holy crap! Zack, why did you let go? Pull me up quickly, quickly! I'm going to fall!" Ben desperately clung to the wall, but Joey, whom he was holding, had nothing to grab onto and could only hold onto Ben's arm with both hands.
Also, because he was hanging in the air, he swung back and forth like a swing.
In reality, Ben thought he would have definitely fallen, but in the game, those super glue hands were very strong. As long as he didn't let go, it seemed he would never fall, but he also wouldn't be able to climb up.
"Hahahaha... that pose, I can't! Haha!" Seeing Ben half-sprawled on the ground with the other half hanging outside, Zack in the game laughed so hard his stomach hurt.
"Stop laughing, hurry up and pull me up!" Ben urged.
"Alright, don't rush! I'll pull you up right now." Zack, still laughing, reached out with both hands and grabbed Ben's head. Hannah and Wells on the side also came over, grabbing Zack's back and pulling backward.
"Stop pulling my head, are you pulling a radish!? It's breaking! It's breaking!" Ben yelled loudly.
Just like pulling a radish, Zack dragged Ben by the head, pulling him up bit by bit.
"I've got your head, don't you still have one hand? Grab on and pull yourself up, don't just rely on us! But don't let go with your other hand, or you'll lose Joey." Zack said.
Ben didn't say anything, but Joey below spoke up. "Don't worry, Zack, it's no use if he lets go. I'm holding onto him now!"
With great effort, the three people grabbed Ben by the head and pulled him up from the cliff and threw him onto the ground.
After a series of twists and turns, the brothers finally regrouped.
"This game is just too ridiculous!" Back on the ground, thinking about the scene of being pulled up like a radish, Ben couldn't help but sigh.
