Chapter 153
Before long, a group of employees filed into the Cafeteria.
Li Yang swallowed at the sight of the table laden with snacks.
“Can we eat now?”
“Go ahead!”
At Zhang Bei’s answer, Li Yang grabbed a tray and began picking out his food.
Five Meatball pieces, five cubes of stinky tofu. And were those stuffed flatbreads?
He took two of those as well!
With his tray piled high, Li Yang sat down.
Chef Li stirred the sour plum drink in the pot with one hand, glancing at Li Yang every so often.
Zhang Bei watched intently, a smile on his face.
He had prepared two wasabi-filled surprises for every kind of snack. Now they just had to see who the lucky winners would be!
Oblivious to both of their stares, Li Yang swiftly picked up a Meatball and popped it into his mouth.
The instant he bit down, a scorching blast shot straight into his head.
Tears immediately streamed down his face.
Zhang Bei clicked his tongue as he watched Li Yang’s reaction.
There were only two of those in total, right?
Chef Li had already eaten one. Was this kid’s luck really that good?
It took Li Yang an entire cup of water to recover.
Breathing heavily, he stared at Chef Li.
“Why was it filled with wasabi?”
Chef Li shot him a meaningful look: I didn’t make these things!
Li Yang instantly understood and cried, “Boss!”
“There are only two wasabi-filled ones for each kind of snack. The rest depends on your luck!”
Li Yang opened his mouth, then stared grimly at his overflowing tray.
Zhang Bei did not tolerate wasted food. The consequences were severe.
Had everyone forgotten that the last person who wasted food had passed out on the Roller Coaster?
“Relax. That’s it for the Meatball. Chef Li already ate the other one.”
Li Yang did not look the slightest bit relieved.
He had taken five different kinds of snacks this time, and his luck was practically in the negatives.
While Li Yang was still wrestling with himself, the rest of the employees began filing into the Cafeteria.
Li Lei casually grabbed two steamed buns and sat down.
“Why the long face?”
Li Yang glanced at the buns in Li Lei’s hands and fell silent for a moment.
“The boss made breakfast. I’m expressing my gratitude.”
The doctor, who had just walked through the door, immediately took two steps back.
The boss had made breakfast?
Was it poisoned?
Had he put laxatives in it?
After spending so long with the Amusement Group, the doctor had come to understand one profound truth:
You could never predict what a lunatic would think of next!
When Li Lei heard that her boss had made breakfast, she bit into a bun without a second thought.
That single bite gave her a glimpse of the end of her life.
Her brain instantly crashed, and tears and snot came pouring out.
Seeing Li Lei’s reaction, Li Yang finally smiled and finished the last Meatball on his tray.
“I forgot to mention that the boss put wasabi filling into two of every kind of snack.”
Instead of growing alarmed, the doctor relaxed when he heard that.
It was fine. As long as it wasn’t poison, there was nothing to worry about!
The other employees, however, stared blankly.
Wasabi filling? What kind of lunacy was that?!
Before long, everyone had selected their breakfast.
Each tray held at least two different kinds of snacks.
One pair of furious eyes after another turned toward Zhang Bei.
Then they all looked away.
They couldn’t beat him, and they couldn’t afford to provoke him!
The atmosphere over breakfast instantly became strange.
Chef Li handed Zhang Bei a tray, then stood off to the side to enjoy the show.
Li Yang stared at the steamed bun on his tray. Finally steeling himself, he took a huge bite.
Safe!
The aroma of pork filled his mouth, complemented perfectly by the shiitake mushrooms. As he bit down, savory juices burst from the filling, flooding him with satisfaction.
The others followed Li Yang’s lead and began cautiously testing the food.
The third victim was You Bai. The culprit: stinky tofu.
The stench of the tofu mixed with the sharp bite of mustard instantly robbed You Bai of the ability to think.
But there were always exceptions. The class monitor picked up a piece of stinky tofu and popped it into her mouth.
“The mustard in the stinky tofu is gone. It’s safe to eat now.”
At the sound of her voice, everyone turned to stare at the class monitor.
Under their collective gaze, she scratched her head.
“I grew up by the sea and always took a tube of mustard whenever I went beachcombing. I’m used to it. Totally used to it!”
Thus, breakfast ended amid a flood of tears.
Aside from the doctor, practically everyone had fallen victim.
Zhang Bei pushed open the gates, officially opening for the day.
Wendell was first in line. He led the friends he’d gone to enormous trouble to round up into the Amusement Park.
He had deliberately chosen this hour.
There weren’t many guests around this early, and the Morgue was completely empty.
If he wanted to prank his friends, he naturally had to make all the necessary preparations!
“Is this Amusement Park really as amazing as you said?”
Wendell patted his chest. “Of course! Didn’t you read my article? Only true warriors can face it!”
“I still don’t believe an Amusement Park in Huaxia could measure up to Disney.”
“There’s only one way to find out, right?”
Wendell led the group straight toward the Giant Swing.
Professor Yao, who was sitting nearby, immediately lit up when he spotted the foreigners.
They’re here! They’re finally here! The day I’ve been waiting for has finally come!
“Old Wei, get over here!”
Professor Wei looked over from his cup of hot tea.
The moment he saw the group of blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign guests, he became visibly excited.
“Wait while I grab a chair!”
Before long, two chairs had been placed in front of the Giant Swing.
The two old men, whose combined ages came to well over a hundred, excitedly watched as the foreigners took their seats on the Giant Swing.
Wendell ushered his friends into their seats, then turned around and stood off to the side.
“You’re not coming?”
Wendell could barely suppress the grin spreading across his face.
“No, no. I’m a coward. I’ll just watch you guys!”
It was still early. Seeing that there were enough riders, the employee started the ride without waiting for every seat to be filled.
Feeling the ride spin at a leisurely pace, Kevin immediately relaxed.
“How about we have Wendell take us to see Tuanzi tomorrow?”
“Of course!”
“That’s what actually matters!”
None of them noticed the Giant Swing gradually accelerating. They simply kept chatting away with great enthusiasm.
Five minutes quickly passed.
Noticing that his line of sight was steadily rising, Kevin couldn’t help speaking up.
“Aren’t we getting higher?”
At his warning, the others turned to look as well.
The wheel around the outer edge was visibly growing larger, while the Giant Swing spun faster and faster!
Finally, after a faint click, the Giant Swing shot into the sky.
“Fuck!”
“Damn it!”
“Help!”
Screams rang through the sky. Down below, Wendell could no longer contain his laughter.
Kevin was a strapping six-foot-one man, so muscular you could practically race a horse across him.
Yet now, he couldn’t even force out a scream.
His eyes were locked on the rapidly approaching ground.
“No, no, no!”
Munching on a snack, Zhang Bei glanced up at the Giant Swing.
Huh?
Foreigners who didn’t know how to scream “holy shit”?
“Give the Giant Swing another two minutes. I told you, we’ve got to make our foreign guests feel welcome!”
“Yes, boss!”
Grinning, the employee pressed the overtime button twice in quick succession.
