With their heads still spinning, the group quickly carried the unconscious fugitive out of the attraction.
Zhang Bei casually took the glasses back and placed them in their box.
The police, satisfied with catching the fugitive, dragged the man into the police car.
Zhang Bei stood where he was and watched the police car drive away.
His gaze still held a hint of confusion. He couldn’t understand why a tomb robber couldn’t even handle a medium-difficulty experience.
Chef Li patted Zhang Bei on the shoulder. “Boss, it’s time to eat!”
Zhang Bei finally snapped out of it and nodded. “Let’s go!”
Dinner passed quickly amidst praises for Chef Li’s culinary skills.
The next morning, a line of tourists gathered early at the entrance of the Amusement Park.
Standing at the very front this time were clearly two girls who were here on vacation.
Behind them were several magazine editors invited by Qi Xiu.
“Hello, I’m the executive editor of Huaxia Geography. May I ask you a few questions?”
The voice from behind made the two girls, who were chatting quietly, turn around.
“Oh, sure!”
The man pulled out a small notebook filled with common questions collected about the Amusement Park.
“Is this your first time here?”
“No, it’s actually our second!”
“When was the last time you visited?”
“After the college entrance exams. We came here with a tour group back then.”
“What made you come back again?”
“Because the boss opened new attractions, of course! I heard there’s even a Roller Coaster this time!”
The man nodded as he recorded the girl’s answer in his notebook.
“Thank you for your help!”
The girl waved her hands quickly. “It’s nothing, really!”
Zhang Bei’s voice suddenly rang out nearby. “The Amusement Park is now open! Everyone may enter!”
Hearing this, the two girls cheered and headed inside.
The editors exchanged looks and followed the crowd to the first attraction.
At this point, we must mention the editor of Huaxia Travel Guide: Qingyang.
Qingyang was a pen name he had used for many years.
As one of the most well-known editors for travel guides today, he never looked at any reviews before visiting a place.
He believed in experiencing everything from the perspective of an ordinary tourist.
The first thing Qingyang passed was a cart pushed by one of the chefs.
He raised an eyebrow at the slightly charred popcorn inside.
“Handmade?”
The chef blinked. “Yes, the boss insists that all food must be handmade.”
Qingyang narrowed his eyes. He bought a small portion of popcorn along with some sour plum soup to sample.
After finishing the snacks, he took out his notebook and began writing.
[Snack flavor: Five stars. Compared to semi-finished products, these fully handmade snacks are full of sincerity.]
The first attraction Qingyang arrived at was the Carousel. He nodded at the sight of the uniquely styled horses.
[Carousel: The powerful design of the facility is eye-opening.]
Since it was early morning, there weren’t too many people at the park yet.
Most were tourists, so Qingyang was able to take a seat quickly and let the staff fasten his seatbelt.
In just over a minute, the Carousel began to move.
As Qingyang felt the speed gradually increase, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This Carousel is fast enough to drive on a highway!
Just as that thought crossed his mind, his whole body suddenly jolted.
The one-minute mark had been reached, and the entire Carousel instantly reversed its direction.
How long does it take to go from zero to a hundred kilometers per hour?
Qingyang could give you a very definite answer: three seconds!
In just three seconds, the entire Carousel suddenly accelerated to full speed in the opposite direction.
Watching the oncoming tourists, Qingyang’s brain went momentarily blank.
“Holy crap, this boss is trying to kill me!”
The moment before the two carousels were about to collide, Qingyang’s wooden horse suddenly lunged upward.
Watching the scenery abruptly rise before his eyes, Qingyang let out a long, shaky breath.
For the remaining eight minutes, Qingyang experienced a sensation unlike anything he had ever felt before.
When he finally stepped off the Carousel, he felt completely drained.
In a mere ten minutes, he had truly experienced what it meant to go through extreme ups and downs.
Sitting on a nearby bench, Qingyang slowly wrote down his thoughts in his small notebook.
[The Carousel-I’d prefer to call it the Disco Horse. Here, you can experience the ultimate thrill of high-speed racing.]
After resting on the bench for a while, Qingyang’s gaze fixed on the nearby Roller Coaster.
Having visited so many amusement parks, he had long since developed his own set of evaluation criteria.
During his break, Qingyang noticed a doctor pushing a cart, transporting tourists from the Roller Coaster into a nearby Pavilion.
The boxes on the ground piqued his interest even more.
“Hello, are you a doctor here?”
“I am. Are you feeling unwell?”
Ever since Professor Yao arrived at the Amusement Park, the doctors’ duties were no longer limited to just checking emotions and heart rates.
As long as a visitor needed it, the doctors would perform a general physical check-up.
“I just wanted to ask, what is that Pavilion used for?”
The doctor looked in the direction Qingyang was pointing, where a neat row of tourists lay.
“That’s a place for people who have fainted to rest. Quite a few people call it the Morgue.”
Qingyang’s face stiffened. Looking at the rows of tourists lying there like corpses, he suddenly felt the name was quite fitting.
Wasn’t this row upon row of stiff-looking tourists exactly what a Morgue looked like?
But that wasn’t the main point. Qingyang looked at the boxes on the ground, the red crosses on them clearly visible.
“What’s inside those?”
The doctor squinted, looking a bit embarrassed to speak.
“Suxiao Jiuxin Wan. I can’t talk now, I have another batch of tourists to transport!”
Qingyang was stunned.
What kind of amusement park keeps Suxiao Jiuxin Wan on standby?!
What kind of amusement park buys Suxiao Jiuxin Wan by the crate?!
What kind of amusement park has doctors who are busier than the regular staff?!
His inner critic was screaming. Qingyang let out a slow breath and joined the queue for the Roller Coaster.
It was hard to imagine what kind of facility would require a constant supply of heart-saver pills.
Since he couldn’t imagine it, he might as well experience it for himself.
Seeing two doctors in white coats nearby actually gave Qingyang a bit of confidence.
The line wasn’t very long, and Qingyang soon found himself sitting in the middle of the Roller Coaster.
As the music began to play, the Roller Coaster started moving slowly.
A slow ascent, a high-speed dash-for the first ten minutes, there were only sporadic cries of surprise from the entire ride.
Before Qingyang could even form an evaluation, the Roller Coaster entered its second stage.
The speed wasn’t particularly fast, so Qingyang looked down.
“Holy shit, how high up are we?”
This stretch of the track was a full hundred meters high. Even the well-traveled Qingyang gripped his safety harness tightly.
If he fell from this height, they probably wouldn’t even find a whole piece of him, would they?
