A finger hovered over the send button, then tapped it lightly.
At the sight of the message confirming it had been sent, a smile tugged at the sender’s lips.
Meanwhile, Boss Zhang received a phone call.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t expect anyone to bypass me and inspect your Laboratory.”
The caller was none other than Professor Li.
He had been tied up with a long-term research project and hadn’t received any news. But the moment the project concluded, he called Zhang Bei.
“It’s fine. Everyone has their own difficulties. I understand.”
Zhang Bei wasn’t nearly as worked up about the matter as one might have expected.
The Laboratory’s relocation overseas was already a certainty.
This incident had merely moved the schedule forward.
Professor Li fell silent for a long moment. “It’s dangerous out there. Come back.”
“Don’t worry. I have a way to handle it.”
Hearing Zhang Bei’s relaxed tone, Professor Li heaved a long sigh.
“Very well. Just remember to stay safe!”
A smile appeared on Zhang Bei’s face at Professor Li’s concern.
Relocating the Laboratory was unavoidable.
No matter how much freedom Professor Li gave him, conflict between the two sides would be inevitable once Zhang Bei started launching private satellites.
After hanging up, Zhang Bei stretched lazily.
The Laboratory issue was settled. Next, it was time to start accumulating Emotional Value.
Several days passed, but the video’s influence showed no sign of fading.
Out-of-town visitors continued to pour into the Amusement Park without end.
Today, Zhang Bei stood with his employees before a large blue gate.
“Same rules as always. Get changed, then try everything out!”
Li Yang looked up at the distant waterslide, which stretched so high that he couldn’t even see the end, and fell silent.
Why do I feel like that thing’s a little too tall?
Isn’t it even higher than the Destiny Ejection Chair?
Still, everyone was already accustomed to their heartless boss.
They quickly changed and entered through the water park’s gates.
Every open area in the water park had been tiled and transformed into shallow pools.
The moment Li Yang stepped into one, he felt a wave of warmth.
“Boss, is this hot spring water?”
Zhang Bei nodded. “Every attraction uses hot spring water, so it won’t be cold even in winter.”
He led the employees to the first attraction.
“Head up. We’ll try the slide first.”
Li Yang stared at the escalator beside them, his scalp tingling.
What kind of waterslide needs an escalator just to reach the top?!
Unfortunately, they all lived under Boss Zhang’s tyranny and had no room to resist.
As the view below grew more distant, a smile crept across Zhang Bei’s face.
Stairway to Heaven!
That was the escalator’s name!
They soon reached a height of ninety meters. Zhang Bei glanced at the people beside him.
“Chef Li, you can try this one first.”
Knowing there was no escape, Chef Li could only step onto the metal platform.
Zhang Bei pulled out a paddle from the side and handed it to him. “Take this and sit tight!”
The instant Chef Li sat down, the safety belt locked firmly into place.
The morning sun was warm, but Chef Li felt ice-cold inside.
As soon as Boss Zhang released his grip, the inflatable raft shot down the slide. Every turn brought the terrifying sensation that it was about to fly over the edge.
But this was only the beginning!
The raft hit an upward slope and launched straight into the air.
Blue filled every corner of the water park, but Chef Li’s eyes held nothing but despair.
The raft didn’t stay airborne for long. After all, this slide was designed to be safe for children too.
Zhang Bei merely glanced at him before leading the remaining employees farther up the escalator.
A height of one hundred and thirty meters!
Zhang Bei looked at the employees huddled there with their necks tucked in. “Who’s up this time?”
Li Lei was the first to step forward, with You Bai right behind her.
While everyone else was still hesitating, the two of them seized the opportunity.
What the hell was there to hesitate about?
If they didn’t volunteer now, who knew what they would face on the slides higher up!
The two girls sat down on the same inflatable raft. To speed things along, Zhang Bei gave it a hard shove.
The raft hurtled downward at free-fall speed, throwing up a huge spray of water in a beautiful arc.
But the two people on the slide only felt their blood run cold.
The raft carried them into a circular section.
At the sight of the slide in the middle, You Bai desperately curled up on herself.
“No! Stop! Don’t go in there!”
What was a slide with a seventy-five-degree drop like?
One glance was enough to fill You Bai with despair.
But their combined weight was nowhere near enough to resist their forward momentum.
After circling the section once, the raft carried them straight into the center.
Zhang Bei had even added a special feature here.
The slide was lined with spiral grooves, which made the raft spin its riders around as it raced downward.
What an incredible experience!
Hearing the screams from below, Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes in delight.
Awesome!
“Let’s go. There’s only one slide left!”
The employees dragged their unwilling feet to a height of one hundred and sixty meters.
From there, the entire Amusement Park stretched out beneath them.
“Don’t be shy. Split yourselves into groups. It can hold up to six people!”
The groups were quickly formed. Li Yang stared wide-eyed at everyone who had abandoned him.
“That’s too much!”
Zhang Bei smilingly dragged out the raft.
“Gu Yue’s group can go first!”
Pale as a sheet, Gu Yue sat down on the raft.
Once all six people had fastened their safety belts, Zhang Bei gave them a forceful push.
As the most thrilling slide of them all, it was naturally unlike any other.
From the very beginning, the six riders felt Zhang Bei’s boundless love for them.
The slide itself formed a giant spiral, and its surface was covered in spiral grooves.
As a result, not only did the raft loop around with the slide, the riders themselves were also spun around inside it.
They got to experience every last bit of that exhilarating sensation firsthand.
The raft soon shot past the thirty-meter mark. By then, Gu Yue was already dizzy and disoriented.
Even so, she had to force herself to stay alert and keep her eyes on the path ahead.
How could Boss Zhang’s design possibly be that simple?
A slide?
No. No, no!
This was a race between life and death!
The raft soon reached a metal plate, and the electromagnets hidden beneath it sprang into action.
The repulsive force launched Gu Yue into the air in an instant.
Zhang the Thief, for once in your life, act like a human being!
Gu Yue’s face was drenched. It was impossible to tell which droplets were tears and which were water.
The raft soared through the air before gravity pulled it back down onto the slide.
And this section was yet another seventy-five-degree drop!
In the blink of an eye, the speeding raft reached the next section.
An upward-curving ramp!
Their current height was ten meters!
Before Gu Yue could even see what was happening, she experienced the sensation of flight once again.
This time, however, there was no slide waiting beneath them!
Carrying all six riders, the raft crashed into the pool and sent up an enormous splash.
On the shore, Chef Li saw their miserable state, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
The real show was about to begin!
In the crystal-clear pool, two crocodiles slowly surfaced.
Gu Yue’s eyes instantly locked onto the gray figures.
