Adventure World Online (AWO) Chapter 32 32: Special Chapter: The Watermelon Battle

Special Chapter: The Waterlon Battle

The Sumr Festival in Adventure World Online is one of the events eagerly anticipated by gars. Every city's beach hosts the Sumr Beach event, offering gars a chance to participate in various contests and win nurous prizes. As the Sumr on the Beach Festival day approaches, female players are seen choosing swimsuits to flaunt on the beach, while the male players are equally excited. mbers of the Pendragon Guild are seen debating whether Chang Long will attend the Sumr on Beach Festival and what kind of swimsuit she will wear.

Peach Blossom seed to have dragged Chang Long out to buy swimsuits together early in the morning. As for the male players, they already have their swimsuits ready. Leaving them with only one question, do they dare to show off at the event? Naturally, the good-looking and fit guys are bound to attract many won wanting to admire their six-packs. Those who are less physically fit or overweight are seen hunting monsters to get in shape, not willing to give up.

"It's no surprise those players are so diligent lately,"

Oliang spoke to his best friend, who was choosing sunglasses from a player's shop. He tried on several pairs but could not find the right one.

"Huh? Yeah, they're probably trying to slim down. Wonder if they'll make it in ti. But as for , heh, being this fit and handso, I guarantee the ladies will faint!"

Wet Trash Can replied cheerfully.

"Aren't you over-confident Wet Trash Can? Don't forget there's a handso guy who was on the most handso man list on the starting island,"

Draco joined the conversation.

"Who? Siegfried!? I bet he won't dare show off. He might just spend the whole event following Chang Long around,"

Wet Trash Can laughed, making the guys laugh along.

"Tomorrow's the day, huh? Speaking of which, are there any interesting activities? The ga's event prizes have always been intriguing,"

Oliang's eyes sparkled at the thought of the rewards from various mini gas set up by the GMs for players to enjoy.

"We'll find out tomorrow,"

Draco shrugged. After browsing sunglasses for a bit longer, three n headed back to their guild.

The next day, the announcent for the festival echoed at the beach near the port of the starting town. Players of all ages, n, and won alike, made their way to the event. Everyone was dressed in their finest swimsuits purchased specifically for this occasion. So of the more lavish attendees went all out with sun hats, sunglasses, colorful cover-ups, and accessories, looking like they were about to strut down a beachside runway. Siegfried, in a white short-sleeved palm tree printed shirt and wave-patterned blue swim shorts, complented by tea-colored sunglasses, gathered with his guildmates amidst the noticeably enthusiastic glances from female players. Peach Blossom dragged Chang Long into the event area, with the guys already betting that Chang Long would surely turn up in her regular outfit.

"Miss Chang, they're holding such a fun event, how could you possibly miss it?"

Peach Blossom sweetly remarked while pulling Chang Long to join Siegfried and the group.

"It's a pity Chang Long didn't wear a swimsuit,"

Oliang comnted with a smile, and the guys nodded in agreent.

"I don't like wearing swimsuits,"

Chang Long softly replied, blushing slightly.

"How about we check the event schedule? Maybe there's a fun ga to play,"

Rafael, the young man who let down his silver hair suggested. He wore black sunglasses and swim trunks that showed off his abs. Everyone agreed and walked over to the stage where today's event schedule was displayed.

"Would you like to try a ga, Chang Long?"

Siegfried engaged in conversation as they all headed towards the stage.

"I wonder,"

Chang Long mused, contemplating what kind of ga she might want to play in this sweltering sumr heat.

"Ladies and gentlen of Adventure World, the first ga of the day is about to start. Those interested, please co and register at the stage,"

announced one of the GMs, attracting the attention of the players.

"The first ga of today is called 'Blindfolded Waterlon Smashing!'"

The players expressed their interest with a buzz of excitent, but the young GM smiled cryptically before continuing,

"But it won't be that simple, folks. We only have one waterlon for players to smash. The first to succeed wins a Sumr Sweet Set!"

The young GM gestured towards a clean white table on the side of the stage, laden with fruit platters, seafood, and coconut water.

"Just to let you know, this table is for two. Perfect for you and that special soone you'd like to share this al with."

Several players registered to participate in the ga, but the n from the Pendragon Guild remained unmoved, not finding the prize appealing at all.

"Oh, co on, I think it's quite interesting. Sitting romantically by the sea. What do you think, Master Chang?" Peach Blossom sweetly coaxed Chang Long, which imdiately perked up the ears of the nearby n, who rushed to register for the ga.

"Uh-huh, it does sound interesting. That grilled squid looks delicious…"

Chang Long replied, eyeing the food on the prize table. The Pendragon Guild siblings perked up at this and hurriedly raced to the registration table.

"Sounds fun, then. I guess I'll join too,"

Rafael declared and ran off, followed by four n - Draco, Oliang, Wet Trash Can, and Aden - who exchanged sly grins before running off to register.

After the registration was complete with a total of 25 contestants, including just 1 woman, who appeared as determined as her male competitors, a part of the beach was set aside for the Blindfolded Waterlon Smashing ga. The participants stood in a circle, surrounded by a large waterlon at the center at a radius of 12 ters.

"Alright, here are all 25 competitors, and look, there's a lady competing with them too!"

The cheerful young GM announced, surprised to see Peach Blossom among the participants. Normally, a beauty like Peach Blossom would not need to compete herself as there would surely be n willing to do it for her.

"Hey, young lady, can I ask you sothing? Why are you joining in? You're the only woman here. Aren't you afraid of being at a disadvantage?"

The GM's hovered his microphone near the young woman's mouth. She stood proudly before answering,

"For Master Chang!"

"Oh, who's this Master Chang? What a lucky guy to have such a dedicated young lady striving to win a prize for him!"

The GM teased, making Peach Blossom blush but remain undeterred in her resolve to win a sweet dinner for two with Chang Long.

"This ga is very simple. The first to smash the waterlon wins. We will use a special cloth that prevents participants from using any special abilities, and let remind you, no one will guide you. It's all down to skill and luck alone."

Players around were rooting for their favorites, hoping to guide their n to the waterlon first. As the whistle blew to start the ga, contestants who were spun and blindfolded began staggering around with only a long stick in hand, trying to find their way to the waterlon. The cacophony of directions from the audience made it impossible to discern any clear guidance. Contestants were tripping over each other, colliding, wandering off course, or even starting to hit each other, much to the amusent of the spectators.

Siegfried accidentally bumped into another player due to being blindfolded and unable to see anything. He apologized politely, but the other player seed unwilling to let it go easily and swung his stick at Siegfried while shouting,

"I won't forgive you!"

Thwack!

Thud!

"Sorry, but I really can't see anything,"

Siegfried apologized again after managing to precisely knock the other player unconscious with a well-aid hit to the head, leaving him sprawled unconscious on the ground.

"Oh, this strategy seems effective – knocking competitors out cold, ans one less rival," the GM comntating on the match remarked. Hearing this, competitors began to try to take out anyone within striking distance.

Siegfried and his Pendragon guildmates easily overca their opponents. Their higher levels afforded them quicker reflexes and wit.

"Is it just us left?!"

Wet Trash Can exclaid in shock, not expecting that from a group of 25 contestants, only they would remain.

"There aren't many high-level players on the starting island to begin with. Besides, those guys wouldn't be interested in playing a ga like this anyway,"

Draco replied with a frown.

"If you keep talking, I'll just go for the waterlon first,"

Peach Blossom laughed maliciously before lunging to strike what she was convinced was the waterlon with all her might, hoping to break it in one blow.

Thump!

"Ouch, Peach Blossom, you hit my head!"

Oliang yelled out in pain.

"Oops, sorry, I thought it was the waterlon,"

Peach Blossom apologized before darting away.

"Dream on if you think I'm forgiving you for that!"

Oliang gritted his teeth in pain, tears brimming from his eyes as he swiftly chased after Peach Blossom, seeking revenge.

"Two down, ha-ha, so much for the Sumr Sweet set,"

Rafael chuckled satisfactorily and confidently moved forward, sure of his victory.

"Don't daydream, buddy!"

Draco and Wet Trash Can shouted in unison, blocking the young man's path.

"You're teaming up on ?"

Rafael protested, stepping back a few paces, but the two n laughed heartily and attacked Rafael, who complained about the unfairness.

"It's just us now. Honestly, I'd like to have a sweet mont with Chang Long too,"

Aden teased. Siegfried paused, tilting his head slightly to locate his daring challenger.

Siegfried distinguished Aden's faint footsteps amidst the surrounding chaos. The ninja was heading straight for the waterlon stand. Despite his profession not offering the sa speed as a ninja, his higher level ant catching up was not difficult.

"Aden, are you provoking ?"

Siegfried asked the ninja sternly. Their companions, busy brawling among themselves, realized these two were nearing the waterlon and stopped their skirmish to rush towards the stand.

"I'm serious, and I'm about to smash the waterlon,"

Aden replied with a chuckle.

Whoosh!

Siegfried attacked, forcing Aden to dodge and miss his chance to strike the waterlon.

"No, I'll be the one who smash it!"

Peach Blossom shouted, rushing to hug the waterlon protectively while Siegfried aid a powerful blow, hoping to split it in one go and end the ga.

Splat!

"Excellent, the waterlon has burst... along with, um, the head of that young lady, I guess. But we have our winner!!"

The GM announced joyously amid the players' astonishnt, all staring at the split waterlon in dismay.

"Oh no. Peach Blossom!"

As they removed their blindfolds to clearly see the situation, the Pendragon Guild mbers exclaid in shock. There, lying unconscious next to the split waterlon, was the headstrong girl who had tried to protect it with her own head.

Siegfried facepald in frustration. He turned to the GM to turn over the prize to his sister, acknowledging her effort and ultimate sacrifice (quite literally with her head) for the reward.

Amidst the sunshine, breeze, and waves, Peach Blossom smiled happily, sipping coconut water, and facing Chang Long, her date. Though Chang Long remained silent (trying hard not to laugh), she felt blissfully content. Not even a swollen head could dampen the young girl's spirits. Such is the power of love...
