Chapter 148
There were data files for more than a dozen technologies in total. Even if they were divided evenly among the Laboratory staff, each person would still get several projects.
The new Laboratory was nothing like their old cramped space. Here, everyone had their own dedicated area for experiments.
“Meeting time. Let’s divide up the next assignments!”
Zhu Xiaotong quickly dragged her boyfriend over and sat down in a chair.
“The boss handed down new tasks?”
Guan Guo nodded. “There’s a lot of material. Notify Professor Li and put the Laboratory under lockdown!”
Zhu Xiaotong looked at the files on the computer, and her eyes instantly widened.
“This much?”
“All right, you’ll have plenty of time to look at it later. Hurry up and get ready first!”
Under Guan Guo’s coordination, the Laboratory soon entered lockdown.
Meanwhile, the Amusement Park welcomed a guest no one had expected.
Looking at the man flanked on both sides by two burly bodyguards, Zhang Bei felt a headache coming on.
“Why didn’t you notify me in advance?”
Professor Li’s eyes went wide. “The Little Prince decided on this at the last minute. Even if I wanted to tell you, there wasn’t enough time!”
That was right. The person surrounded by the burly men was a prince.
Borshak Karui, nicknamed by others as the Oil Prince.
This time, the prince had come to Huaxia because of Huaxia’s new energy engines, hoping to establish friendly diplomatic relations.
Who knew where the prince had seen the news, but he had learned that Huaxia had an amusement park known as the best in the world.
In the spirit of friendly relations, the higher-ups had allowed this newly adult prince to come to Dingyang City.
By the time Professor Li received the news, it was already too late to notify Zhang Bei, so he could only accompany the Little Prince to the Amusement Park.
The higher-ups had no idea what this amusement park was like, but Professor Li knew all too well!
If the prince got frightened into some kind of psychological trauma, Professor Li was afraid he would be skinned alive!
Zhang Bei also felt the situation was troublesome. He had designed the entire amusement park himself.
If this pampered prince went through even one round of rides, wouldn’t he be knocked out for the whole day?
But Karui did not think so. He had read that Facebook article no fewer than five times.
He was full of curiosity about this amusement park.
Claims like only a true warrior could tame it, and a real man would never faint.
Every single line suggested that this place was anything but ordinary.
“Li, I want to ride that one!”
Professor Li looked in the direction Karui was pointing. Countless visitors on the Drop Tower were screaming at the tops of their lungs.
Professor Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “Your Highness, why don’t we try something else?”
“This is the one. I’ll go up myself!”
The prince spoke Mandarin very well. He left his bodyguards below and walked toward the line alone.
He had come out this time to relax. Apart from a few designated people, no one knew his whereabouts.
Naturally, there was no need to pull any special privileges. He simply treated himself as an ordinary visitor.
Before long, Karui successfully sat down in the seat and let the staff fasten his safety belt.
As the music began to play, they reached a height of thirty meters almost instantly.
Karui narrowed his eyes and cheered.
As a member of a royal family, chances to feel this free were few and far between.
Not to mention, he had never been allowed anywhere near dangerous sports.
The adventurous streak buried in his bones had long been suppressed deep inside him.
Soon, the Drop Tower’s first change arrived.
Karui watched the ground gradually recede below him, and his pupils constricted.
This thing could go even higher?
The experience at sixty meters sent Karui’s adrenaline soaring.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was bursting with excitement.
After several rounds, the Drop Tower rose once more, reaching ninety meters.
The excitement on Karui’s face gradually vanished, and fear crept into his eyes before he even realized it.
“Is he really going to be okay?”
Zhang Bei thought for a moment. “He’ll be fine. Worst case, he passes out for a while.”
Professor Li gritted his teeth. “Easy for you to say!”
“If something happens, you’re the one taking responsibility. Of course it’s easy for me!”
Zhang Bei had absolute confidence in his equipment. There was no way it would be life-threatening.
As for whether the Little Prince’s mind could handle it, that was outside the scope of consideration.
Up in the air, Karui finally encountered the Drop Tower’s final transformation.
Human Yo-Yo!
The two bodyguards standing nearby felt a chill run down their backs.
You call this thing an amusement ride?
What kind of amusement ride treats its guests like yo-yos?
The Little Prince’s screams echoed through the air.
Before they knew it, the crocodile pool beside the gallows surfaced in the bodyguards’ minds.
This was bad!
The doctor clutched his medical kit tightly, his resentful eyes fixed on the Drop Tower ahead.
Your Highness, if I examine him afterward, does that make me a royal physician too?
Royal physicians aren’t eunuchs, right?
Amid his wild thoughts, the ten-minute Drop Tower ride finally came to an end.
The group rushed toward the Little Prince at top speed.
Zhang Bei silently drew back the foot he had just moved.
Forget it. With a doctor here, there shouldn’t be a problem.
“Boss, isn’t the equipment controllable?”
Li Yang lowered his voice as he looked at the Little Prince surrounded by the crowd.
The Drop Tower had been the first attraction he was responsible for, so naturally he knew the thing was actually controllable.
As long as someone pressed the button, there was no way anything like the Human Yo-Yo mode would appear!
“The Little Prince came all this way for one visit. If I let him play some cut-down version, would I even be human?”
Hearing his boss’s righteous, solemn tone, Li Yang gave him a thumbs-up.
No wonder they said hell was empty and all the devils were here on earth!
With a heart like his boss’s, it had long since gone completely black!
Li Yang glanced at the deeply worried Professor Li, then forced back a laugh and turned to leave.
If the old man knew the equipment was controllable, he might just die of rage!
The Little Prince was quite tough too. With help from his bodyguards, he quickly got back on his feet.
His eyes were filled with excitement!
This thing was way too fun!
Once I conquer this amusement park, I’ll be a true warrior!
With that firm conviction, the Little Prince soon chose his second attraction.
The Roller Coaster!
The doctor slapped a hand against his forehead while holding his medical kit.
It’s over!
Another one’s gone insane!
Inwardly, he began to worry about the kingdom far across the ocean.
If this heir went mad, those two were still in good health. Having another one shouldn’t be a big problem, right?
Zhang Bei only watched for a short while before turning and heading back to the Dollhouse.
The Laboratory had already begun developing new technology, so he needed to use this time to design the water park.
Professor Li and the doctor were following the Little Prince the whole way, and there were two more professors holding down the fort at the Amusement Park. There was nothing to worry about!
Once the Little Prince had rested enough, he eagerly lined up in front of the Roller Coaster.
Under everyone’s worried gazes, he took a seat in the middle.
Soon, the Roller Coaster began to move. The Little Prince leaned to one side, pondering what excuse he could use to stay in Huaxia and play for two more days.
He had come all the way to the Amusement Park this time and hadn’t even seen the pandas.
He wondered if that little cub he saw last time had grown any bigger.
His drifting thoughts were quickly dragged back to reality by the screams beside his ear.
