Throughout his repeated attempts to cross the mirror, Gu Shijiu always kept Xiao Qi's advice in mind, paying attention to the angle between the mirror and the wall, and carefully marking his route.

Finally, in front of a huge mirror, Gu Shijiu sensed a powerful and familiar aura.

She carefully observed the mirror and discovered that the ripples on its surface were different from those of all the previous mirrors.

Its fluctuation frequency seemed to resonate in a strange way with the frequency of the ideal body model in one's mind.

Gu Shijiu took a deep breath, concentrated all her mental energy, and carefully reached her hand towards the mirror.

The moment her hand touched the mirror, a bright light shone from its surface, enveloping her entirely.

Gu Shijiu felt a lightness in her body, as if she were being pulled by a powerful force, and arrived at the next mirror room.

In this room, the feeling of being confined suddenly disappeared.

Gu Shijiu subconsciously looked at her hands; her slender, fair fingers were as flexible as ever, no longer in their strange shape.

Looking down at his body, his legs were straight and strong, with good proportions, and his torso had returned to its normal upright posture.

The skin is smooth and delicate, without any pits or blemishes.

Gu Shijiu was both surprised and delighted. She excitedly spun around in place, feeling the ease of returning to normal.

This is the first time she's ever used her brain to accomplish something.

Just as Gu Shijiu was about to continue exploring the perimeter of the mirror room, a familiar figure emerged from the mirror beside her.

"Ah Jiu, you found this place too!" Shi Qi seemed to have returned to normal.

Gu Shijiu's heart tightened, and she looked at the person in front of her warily.

Although her appearance and voice were exactly the same as Shi Qi's, she keenly sensed something was amiss.

Gu Shijiu pouted: "You're not Shi Qi. Who are you? What are you doing pretending to be him?"

The man was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Gu Shijiu to see through him so quickly.

A moment later, his body began to change.

Shi Qi's original appearance gradually faded away, replaced by a semi-transparent humanoid figure that emitted a faint blue light, looking ethereal and unreal.

"I am the Mirror Spirit, responsible for protecting this space," the Mirror Spirit said, its voice becoming ethereal and otherworldly.

Gu Shijiu frowned as she looked at it: "Why does the guardian space have to look like Shi Qi?"

The Mirror Spirit sighed softly: "I sensed that you have mastered the secrets of this space, and I was worried that you would disrupt the balance here, so I wanted to test you."

I didn't expect you to be so perceptive; you saw through my disguise at a glance.

Gu Shijiu snorted coldly and proudly raised her chin: "That's right, I'm very smart. But you're too mean, making such a mess of me, I can't even lift my arms."

The spirit shook its head helplessly: "These are the rules, and I cannot change them. However, since you have already found the exit, I cannot forcibly stop you."

Gu Shijiu's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly came up with an idea: "You just pretended to be someone important to me, which frightened me and caused me mental distress. You have to compensate me."

The Mirror Spirit was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to make such a request: "Emotional compensation, what do you want?"

Gu Shijiu thought for a moment: "I want travel points, and a lot of them. I've been in this godforsaken place for so long, this compensation isn't too much to ask, is it?"

The Mirror Spirit remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Thinking of what it had heard about Mickey and Minnie's ordeal, it finally nodded: "Okay, I can give you play points."

However, once you obtain the play points, you must leave immediately and cannot cause any further impact on this space.

Gu Shijiu was secretly pleased with herself, but put on a wronged look on her face: "Of course, as long as you give me enough play points, I'll leave right away."

The Mirror Spirit stretched out its hand, and a sphere radiating light appeared in its palm, with countless numbers flashing within it.

"There are 5000 play points here, that should be enough to compensate you," the Mirror Spirit said.

Gu Shijiu's eyes lit up. This was much more generous than Donald's. She quickly reached out and took the sphere: "That's more like it. Okay, I keep my word. Let's go now."

As Gu Shijiu was leaving, she turned back and looked at a pair of bright eyes: "By the way, where did Shi Qi go?"

“He found the way before you and has already left.” The Mirror Spirit hesitated for a moment, then added, “I don’t know exactly where he went.”

As soon as she stepped outside, Gu Shijiu spotted a familiar figure not far away.

Shi Qi was standing on a lush green lawn, her posture upright and a gentle smile on her face. Upon seeing her come out, she immediately strode forward to greet her.

This time it is true.

"Ajiu!" Shi Qi's voice was full of joy. "I thought you would definitely come out, so I waited here for a while."

Gu Shijiu couldn't wait to share her experience in the mirror room.

From meeting Xiao Qi, to struggling to control his mental energy to adjust his body, and then to seeing through the Mirror Spirit's disguise and obtaining 5000 play points, he described it vividly and eloquently.

Shi Qi listened intently, occasionally exclaiming in amazement, her eyes full of admiration for Gu Shijiu: "Ajiu, you're amazing."

"Of course, I'm thinking that if I encounter any difficulties in the future, I'll use this method and think more carefully."

Gu Shijiu looked proud, then asked curiously, "And you, how did you find the exit?"

Shi Qi scratched his head: "I was lucky. I found a tattered notebook in a mirror room. It recorded some patterns of mirror fluctuations."

I just followed the trail, and stumbled upon it by chance.

As they were talking, a huge archway appeared in front of them, shimmering with colorful light, and the faint sound of cheerful music could be heard.

"Looks like that's the exit of the entire amusement park," Shi Qi said, pointing to the archway.

The moment the two passed through the archway, a bright and open space opened up before them.

In front of them was a spacious square, with a prominent souvenir shop standing on one side.

Curious, the two walked toward the store. As soon as they stepped inside, they heard a series of noisy sounds coming from inside.

Gu Shijiu looked closely and found that there were already several people who looked like contestants in the store.

However, they looked to be in terrible condition; some were missing arms, some were missing legs, and each of them wore a look of relief at surviving a disaster.

Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi exchanged a glance but remained silent.

They walked up to the display shelves in the store and saw that they were filled with a wide variety of goods, including dolls and videos related to the game levels, as well as some items that exuded a mysterious aura.

However, what attracted their attention the most was a bookshelf in the corner, neatly arranged with cultivation manuals.

This is one of the perks for participating in the competition; the viewers in the live stream were quite envious.

Everything in the souvenir shop is priced at 500 yen per item, but the shop only lists the types of items without providing detailed descriptions.

It's like opening a blind box.

Many contestants looked at the prices and sighed in despair.
