Chapter 101
As the screams grew more and more intense, Qingqing also realized the Hot Air Balloon was climbing higher and higher.
After a dozen or so rounds of high-altitude bungee jumping, everyone had already reached an altitude of over a hundred meters.
At this height, forget admiring the scenery. Aside from the endless expanse of ocean, nothing else below could be seen clearly at all.
Qingqing steeled herself and looked toward the boys who were having the time of their lives. “Stop playing! We’re getting higher and higher!”
The moment she said that, the people around her shifted their gazes downward.
“Holy crap, we’re so high!”
“Stop, quick!”
“Stop pulling!”
Realizing something was wrong, the boys finally stopped messing around.
With the ropes no longer being pulled, the Hot Air Balloon slowly began to descend.
Before Qingqing could even breathe a sigh of relief, an irritable voice rang out.
“You think this is fun, huh? Then nobody gets to live!”
It was over!
The boy who had just been forced into endless bungee jumps was now fully awake. Grabbing one rope in each hand, he yanked them like mad.
The two people sitting beside him were sent bungee jumping over and over again at high altitude.
“What the hell, why are you pulling my rope?!”
“Who pulled my rope?!”
“Screw you, nobody gets to live!”
Chaos!
The entire Hot Air Balloon instantly descended into chaos. No one knew where their own rope was anymore.
Everyone was holding someone else’s rope.
The Hot Air Balloon shot up into the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Qingqing clutched her own rope tightly and stared at the ground growing farther and farther away.
“Everyone, calm down!”
“I’m begging you, stop playing!”
“I’m scared! We’re too high!”
Qingqing’s cries did nothing to move this crowd that had fallen into a full-on free-for-all.
Even the girl beside her was somehow made to bungee jump several times in a row.
Qingqing gathered her thoughts and was just about to try talking them down.
Unexpectedly, a hand reached over and snatched the rope from Qingqing’s grasp.
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Qingqing’s mind. Damn it, she really had believed the boss’s nonsense!
Did none of these people consider how high up they were right now?
Did they have to play something this thrilling?
Would it kill them to just enjoy the scenery?
Her thoughts ended there. The experience of bungee jumping from three hundred meters in the air made Qingqing fully understand the cruelty of society.
The ground in her vision rapidly enlarged. When she was only twenty meters from the ground, a powerful force yanked her body upward again.
In that brief span of time, Qingqing’s expression went from shock to pain, then to horror, and finally twisted completely out of shape.
The moment she returned to the Hot Air Balloon, the whole world fell silent.
Everyone on the Hot Air Balloon had experienced high-altitude bungee jumping.
Aside from Qingqing, they had also all experienced the joy of making someone else bungee jump.
As if by tacit agreement, everyone let go of the ropes in their hands and quietly waited for the Hot Air Balloon to descend.
So you all had your fun?
Now you’re done?
Be honest. Did all of you come here just to mess with me?
Qingqing felt that the entire Hot Air Balloon was filled with malice toward her.
Before she could even experience the joy of pulling a rope herself, this bunch had all stopped playing?
Still, with no one pulling on the ropes, the Hot Air Balloon finally returned to an altitude of seventy meters.
Looking at the artificial lake before her, Qingqing’s mood finally eased a great deal.
The experience was supposed to last an hour, yet this group had spent a full half hour high-altitude bungee jumping.
There was hardly any time left for Qingqing to enjoy the view.
The thought that she had not experienced any fun at all made her feel even more depressed.
The doctor glanced at the heart-rate chart on the tablet and let out a breath of relief.
The scenario he had imagined, where everyone on all five Hot Air Balloons passed out, had not happened.
After experiencing the bungee jumps, most people were able to make up with their friends as if nothing had happened.
Out of the five Hot Air Balloons, there were two like Qingqing’s, where the battle had stopped halfway through.
There were even two people who had earnestly stared at the scenery for a full hour.
As time passed, the final Hot Air Balloon finally touched down. The doctor’s eyelids began twitching wildly.
What the hell? What happened this time?
There were twenty people on the entire Hot Air Balloon, and half of them had passed out.
The other half were pale-faced, slumped in their seats, their bodies twitching every now and then.
The doctor rushed onto the Hot Air Balloon at once.
There was no need to say much about the ten who had fainted. To be safe, he shoved a Suxiao Jiuxin Wan into each of their mouths first.
The ones who hadn’t passed out weren’t much better. Their eyes were unfocused, and their hands and feet were ice-cold.
It was hard to imagine what they had gone through.
Calling them disheveled would honestly be putting it nicely.
But the next batch of tourists who arrived right after them made the doctor’s worries climb to an even higher level.
“You little brat, if your mom finds out you came out to play before finishing your homework, she’ll skin me alive!”
“Relax. We just won’t let her find out, right?”
A deeply worried father had arrived with his beaming son.
That’s right. It was none other than the Cao father and son!
The whole thing had started with a photo on Moments.
After Little Cao saw that the amusement park had opened a new ride for sightseeing, he couldn’t wait to drag Cao Jia over to try it.
Compared to something like the Human Cannon, this was the kind of thing kids were supposed to play on!
After his old man paid, Little Cao eagerly pulled Cao Jia over and sat down in the seats.
Soon, all twenty tourists had fastened their seat belts, and the Hot Air Balloon slowly started up.
Cao Jia relaxed back into his chair, savoring this hard-won peace.
“Once we’re done here, you’re going straight home to do your homework. Got it?”
“Got it!”
Little Cao waved him off, feeling the sea breeze brush against his face.
Everything was perfectly harmonious.
Then, all of a sudden, a faintly visible rope caught his attention.
Kids were kids. A little heavy curiosity was perfectly normal.
After carefully reading the notice Zhang Bei had left behind, Little Cao gave the rope a firm tug.
Cao Jia, who had been sprawled comfortably in his chair, had not even figured out what was happening before his body rapidly dropped downward.
By the time his soul returned to his body, Cao Jia was already seated back in his chair again.
Little Cao’s brain froze for a fraction of a second.
Then he burst into laughter. “Hahaha! I never would’ve guessed it. The owner really is a genius!”
Before Cao Jia could say anything, the rope was pulled again.
Watching his own father enjoy a sky-high activity suitable for all ages, Little Cao’s smile spread across his face.
“Hey, kid, how did you do that?”
Sitting beside Little Cao was a college student who had come to this Amusement Park with his dorm mates over the weekend.
Only, the moment they reached the Drop Tower, he had instantly chickened out.
Fortunately, there was still this not-scary attraction.
Little Cao pointed at the rope beneath the seat. “Just pull it once!”
The college student hurriedly nodded, then guiltily glanced at the roommate beside him.
However, the others were all immersed in Cao Jia’s screams and did not notice the danger approaching at all.
The college student quickly found the rope hidden beneath the chair.
“Brother Qiang, have you ever experienced despair?”
“Huh?”
The roommate being asked was utterly confused.
But immediately afterward, he understood the meaning of that question.
In the span of a brief moment, his figure went flying toward the ground.
His scream happened to form a duet with Cao Jia’s.
Everyone seated there suddenly felt as though they had discovered a whole new world. So this was the correct way to use it!
And Cao Jia, who had now experienced bungee jumping twice in a row, also located Little Cao’s rope in an instant.
Boss Zhang: “There are too many bad reviews. I have no motivation to update. I feel so wronged!”
