Chapter 185
Cai Quan followed the line forward, and it was soon his turn.
Li Yang looked at the man in front of him and felt that he seemed oddly familiar.
“Are you alone?”
The man nodded. “Can I go on the ride?”
Hearing his voice again, Li Yang suddenly remembered the screams from yesterday.
“Were you that NPC who ran the fastest?”
Cai Quan immediately fell silent.
Several long seconds passed before he forced a reply through gritted teeth.
“No. You’ve got the wrong person!”
Li Yang scratched his head. “Sorry about that. Hold on tight to this paddle!”
Cai Quan took the paddle and sat down on the rubber tube.
The moment Li Yang gave him a hard push, a wave of water smacked him in the face.
Holy shit! You call this thing a slide?
As he spun through turn after turn, the scenery high above the ground flashed past his eyes.
Combined with the constant downward force, the ride soon left Cai Quan’s eyes bloodshot.
Still spinning at high speed, the rubber tube shot onto the electromagnetic launcher.
Cai Quan braced himself for the next wave of water.
To his horror, the rubber tube suddenly launched into the sky.
He had no desire to admire the view. All Cai Quan felt was sheer terror.
What kind of slide sends people flying into the sky?!
Someone save me!
I’m begging you! Let me down!
As Cai Quan stared at the ant-sized figures below, scenes from his life flashed through his mind.
In the end, all his memories froze on his manager’s face.
A company-funded trip to an amusement park?
You bastard! You’re clearly trying to get me killed!
I bet you changed the beneficiary on my insurance policy to yourself!
When the rubber tube finally landed back on the slide, Cai Quan’s soul, which had been soaring through the heavens, returned to his body as well.
Up ahead, the slope in the middle of the massive loop was visibly almost vertical!
“No! Stop! I can’t go down that!”
His tearful cry echoed throughout the entire slide.
But there were no second chances in life. The rubber tube carried Cai Quan toward the seventy-five-degree drop at top speed.
The spray kicked up by the impact traced a beautiful arc through the air.
Standing below and staring at the slide’s exit, Luo Yi couldn’t help but worry.
Just moments ago, he had seen two crocodiles in that pool with his own eyes!
After enduring untold suffering, Cai Quan finally shot out of the slide.
His face was deathly pale, but at least he hadn’t passed out.
Before he could appreciate the warmth of the sun, Luo Yi’s frantic shout reached him.
“Run!”
Huh?
Run?
Why?
Forcing his limp body to move, Cai Quan swept his gaze around the pool.
What was that gray thing?
Was that… a crocodile?
Holy shit!
Cai Quan used the last dregs of his strength to paddle for his life.
At last, just before his strength gave out entirely, he managed to scramble ashore.
Looking at Luo Yi’s face, Cai Quan used what little strength he had left to rasp, “Fuck your mother!”
Luo Yi silently backed away two steps as Cai Quan collapsed unconscious in front of him.
Was this guy about to lose his mind?
Was it dangerous for him to stay here?
No, this wouldn’t do. Maybe he should claim something had come up at work and leave?
Professor Yao, pushing Xiao Chen, helped get Cai Quan onto the beach. Meanwhile, Zhang Bei approached Luo Yi with a smile.
“Want to try an attraction I designed myself?”
“Huh?”
“Why not give it a shot?”
Luo Yi shuddered at that familiar smile.
“N-No, that’s all right.”
“Come on. It’s not like it’ll cost you anything!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Bei dragged Luo Yi onto the Destiny Ejection Chair.
He even thoughtfully fastened Luo Yi’s safety harness for him.
Luo Yi could only watch as the buckle locked into place. The refusal caught in his throat simply wouldn’t come out.
Before long, every seat on the Destiny Ejection Chair was occupied.
The entire facility came to life with it.
To show his genuine sincerity to the guests who had traveled so far,
Boss Zhang personally slipped into the control room.
He opened the backend of the control interface and found the program number he had personally selected.
The moment he clicked the mouse, a shriek as piercing as an air-raid siren erupted.
Veteran visitors naturally knew that the key to the Destiny Ejection Chair was the “Destiny,” not the “Ejection.”
But how could Luo Yi, who had been strapped into the chair, possibly know that?
After being launched onto a track at high speed, things gradually took a bizarre turn.
First, his chair contracted into a stool. Immediately afterward, the track began to curve.
The screw-twisting routine once experienced by one lucky visitor now descended upon Luo Yi as well.
With the nitrogen boost propelling him along the spiral track, the sky and ground swapped places over and over in his vision within a single second.
Luo Yi’s chubby little hands flailed helplessly in the air.
As the stool began to slow, Luo Yi finally adjusted to the rhythm of the spinning.
Although his view was still shifting, he could at least make out the track ahead.
Holy crap!
The track was broken?
Before his brain could process what he was seeing, the slowing stool accelerated again.
This time, it carried him straight into the sky!
At that moment, Luo Yi finally understood the unwillingness in Cai Quan’s eyes.
He might run an Amusement Park, but he had barely ridden any attractions himself.
He blacked out before he even reached the next section of track.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Bei wheeled Luo Yi over on a cart and dumped him onto the beach.
Future Amusement Park-total wipeout!
Zhang Bei nodded in satisfaction at the spectacular scene before him.
A family should always stay together!
Suddenly, Zhang Bei turned his gaze toward the driver sitting on a nearby bench.
Wasn’t he the one who had driven them here?
Could they still be considered one big, happy family if the driver was missing?
The driver was sipping his drink and admiring the scenery of the water park.
The moment he noticed that soul-piercing stare, he shuddered.
I don’t think I locked my car.
Time to go!
Since the Amusement Park had been closed yesterday, there were especially many visitors today.
Zhang Bei even had to help the doctor administer emergency heart pills for a while.
By the time he was free again, half an hour had passed.
Yet no trace of Luo Yi and his group could be found anywhere in the Amusement Park.
It was almost lunchtime now, though.
Boss Zhang could only sigh in regret. He hadn’t gotten the chance to treat them to the Amusement Park’s specialty dishes!
The sky outside was clear blue, but inside the car, thunder roared and rain poured.
Nangong Guo frowned as he looked at the woman resting with her eyes closed beside him.
What a pain!
Last time, he had rushed back after trying only two attractions at the Amusement Park.
Who would have thought that, after hearing this Amusement Park could scare people unconscious, this woman would insist on coming to experience it for herself?
Worse yet, he couldn’t stop her.
One look at this woman was enough to tell she was no good.
She was Xiang Mei, the daughter of the notorious drug lord Xiang Xing.
His undercover mission was about to end, and an operation had already been arranged.
Yet at such a critical moment, this woman had dragged him to the Amusement Park.
Nangong Guo couldn’t help wondering whether she had begun to suspect him.
Would the Sweep Operation still proceed smoothly?
The car continued on its way and reached the gates of the Amusement Park just in time for the first group of afternoon visitors.
Xiang Mei stretched, her slender figure drawing countless gazes.
“Come on. Show me what’s fun around here!”
Nangong Guo nodded and pointed at the Ferris Wheel nearby. “How about that one?”
