Chapter 65

Zhang Bei let out a soft breath, temporarily committing the matter to memory.

No matter how powerful the future amusement park might be, he still had at least a year.

He slowly immersed his consciousness into the System to check the rewards for this playtest mission.

[Playtest mission complete. Reward obtained: Popularity Boost Card.]

[Popularity Boost Card: Once used, it will bring about unexpected promotional effects.]

Looking at the card emitting a faint golden light on the System’s light screen, Zhang Bei chose to use it immediately.

Most of the things the System provided were designed to address the difficulties right in front of him.

Since it had given him this Popularity Card now, it was proof that it would definitely serve a purpose.

[Popularity Boost Card used. Target has appeared.]

As the System’s voice faded in his ear, another voice followed immediately after.

“Excuse me, are you Boss Zhang?”

Zhang Bei opened his eyes to see a man dressed in a suit standing before him.

“That’s me. And you are?”

The man hurriedly handed over a business card. “I am the Director of Running Man. I was hoping we could film here tomorrow.”

Zhang Bei glanced down at the card. “Mr. Shi, is there anything you need from me?”

It was obvious that this Director was the person designated by the Popularity Card.

Director Shi smiled. “We need to set up a few cameras on some of the facilities.”

Zhang Bei nodded. “It won’t affect the tourists, will it?”

“It won’t. Celebrities are people too; they’ll have to wait in line just like everyone else.”

Director Shi’s arrival at the amusement park was actually the result of a series of accidents.

The first location they had selected was a Broadcast Building.

However, before they could even set up the equipment, the building was temporarily requisitioned.

The second location they chose was a stretch of beach.

But because a shipwreck had been discovered there, the beach was now under protection.

With only one day left before the show’s recording, Director Shi was worrying over the filming location when he happened to see Qingqing’s livestream, which led him to discover this amusement park.

Seeing that Zhang Bei had agreed, Director Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

If this place hadn’t worked out, they would have had to find a random spot to make do for this recording.

“Boss Zhang, I’m not sure how you calculate your prices?”

Director Shi knew very well that borrowing a venue naturally required payment.

Even if Zhang Bei hadn’t mentioned it, he had to bring it up himself.

Otherwise, if Zhang Bei suddenly backed out right before the recording, it would be a disaster.

“There’s no need. Since it won’t affect the tourists, we don’t need to worry about a fee.”

Zhang Bei knew very well that this variety show was currently a massive hit. As long as the amusement park appeared in it-even if it was just a simple mention-it would undoubtedly bring in a huge amount of popularity.

The value of that was far more important than direct payment.

Director Shi raised an eyebrow. “Then I wonder what you would like, Boss Zhang?”

“Just mention the address of the amusement park during the program.”

“No problem, we will help you promote it.”

“Pleasure doing business with you!”

“Pleasure doing business with you!”

Director Shi discussed some of the follow-up details for the program with Zhang Bei before hurriedly leaving with his team.

The entire day slipped away unnoticed. The doctor watched the last batch of tourists leave and rubbed his aching shoulders.

The fainting rate for the Destiny Ejection Chair had now surpassed that of the Roller Coaster, reaching thirty-five percent.

The thing that gave the doctor the biggest headache was that out of that thirty-five percent, at least a third of them required Suxiao Jiuxin Wan.

Looking at the leisurely Zhang Bei, the doctor’s temples throbbed.

“Boss, our stock of Suxiao Jiuxin Wan is running low.”
Zhang Bei frowned. “Didn’t we just buy twenty cases the day before yesterday?”

The doctor’s gaze instantly became resentful.

*You have the nerve to ask!*

*Don’t you have any idea why they’re being used up so fast?*

“The Roller Coaster and the Drop Tower use up two cases a day. The Ejection Chair used up five cases just today.”

Zhang Bei’s face stiffened. “Five cases?”

That was absolutely ridiculous!

A single case of Suxiao Jiuxin Wan contained twenty boxes, and each box held five pills.

They could go through five cases in a single day?

That was a total of five hundred pills!

“Is the psychological endurance of people nowadays really that poor?”

Beside him, Professor Yao smacked his own forehead.

He silently took the dinner tray from Chef Li’s hands.

It really wasn’t easy for this boss to have lived this long without being beaten to death.

Was this really a problem with the tourists’ endurance?

Forget ordinary people-according to the professor’s estimates, the speed of that Ejection Chair was something even professional astronauts wouldn’t be able to handle.

However, Zhang Bei wasn’t one to procrastinate. He called the pharmacy and arranged a delivery time.

Suxiao Jiuxin Wan was for saving lives.

No one could guarantee the exact reason why a tourist’s heart rate might become abnormal.

In such moments, a single Suxiao Jiuxin Wan pill could at least ensure that no fatal accidents occurred.

Throughout dinner, Zhang Bei felt flustered under the doctor’s resentful glare.

He tossed his keys to Li Yang and hurriedly drove away.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the doctor would end up on the news for stabbing him twenty-eight times-none of them fatal.

Morning arrived the next day, and Zhang Bei arrived at the Amusement Park early.

By now, cameras had already been installed on many of the facilities within the park.

On a nearby patch of open ground, various props had also been set up.

Zhang Bei had left all these arrangements to Li Yang.

Meanwhile, the Program Team was waking up the group of celebrities.

Chen Chichi stared at Director Shi with a pair of dead-fish eyes.

“Why so early today?”

Director Shi ignored Chen Chichi’s complaining.

“Good morning, everyone! Today, we will be conducting an ‘Amusement Park Adventure.’ Please collect your mission cards!”

Yawning, Chen Chichi took a mission card into his hand.

“The theme for this episode is an amusement park?”

As he spoke, he looked down at the card and read it aloud.

“Each person must experience three amusement rides before noon. Clues for the next mission will be found during the rides.”

Brother Chao rubbed his eyes and laughed. “It seems they’re actually being decent this time. We even get to play at an amusement park!”

Director Shi checked the time. “You don’t have much time. You must get there before the Amusement Park opens!”

“Move it, move it!”

“Hurry up, it’s not often we get to play!”

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

Amidst laughter, the group piled into the vehicles prepared by the Program Team.

After a thirty-minute drive, they finally reached the gates of the Amusement Park at eight o’clock.

The first wave of tourists wasn’t particularly large, but upon seeing the stars, they immediately swarmed forward.

“Chichi, can I get an autograph?”

“Big Black Bull, can I feel your muscles?”

“Brother Chao, I love you!”

The fans’ enthusiasm gradually energized the group.

Signing autographs and taking photos took up a full ten minutes before everyone finally entered the Amusement Park.

The first thing they saw was Shen Nan’s Toy House.

Looking at the terrifying dolls hanging on the walls, Chen Chichi couldn’t help but start roasting them.

“The art style of these dolls is… a bit startling!”

Big Black Bull nodded. “It is a bit unexpected. They must have been designed based on some Haunted House.”
