Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Even though he was strapped in with a safety belt, even though both his hands had already started shaking, the boy still stubbornly wrapped one arm around the girl.

“W-w-wifey, i-it’s f-fine.”

Compared to them, the scene next door had taken an even more bizarre turn.

A strapping man nearly six foot three was curled up in the arms of a much smaller girl.

“Honey, I’m scared!”

“There, there, sweetie. Don’t be scared!”

“Oh my god, this thing is way too terrifying!”

“It’s okay, honey, it’s over!”

The instant she finished speaking, a tremendous force shoved them forward.

Two safety belts hung from a single, lonely safety line, and as the Ferris Wheel rotated, they began to fly.

This design was something Zhang Bei had specifically devised with couples in mind. With only one safety line, if one person curled up in fear, the other would have to bear greater wind resistance, and their field of view would become even wider.

Still, as a young couple about to get married, they clung tightly to each other.

“Ah, slow down! Holy crap, I’m dizzy, dizzy, I’m gonna pass out!”

“H-honey, save me-help!”

But in the end, only a minority of people could still think of their wife while dangling in midair.

The moment most couples were flung into the sky, their minds went completely blank.

Most of them curled their own bodies up, paying no mind whatsoever to whether their other half lived or died.

The ten-minute Ferris Wheel experience ended in a flash, and the couples returned to the glass cabins one after another.

Zhang Bei and the doctor also entered the fenced-off area. The doctor was watching the alarms on the tablet with his heart in his throat.

Zhang Bei was there purely because the trial mission was complete, and he wanted to see the tourists’ real reactions.

Soon, the couple in the first glass cabin was carried out.

Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes and took a look. The boy was hugging the girl tightly, both of their eyes shut.

Mm. Carry them away, carry them away. Next!

Both of them had fainted, so they had no reference value.

An employee opened the second glass cabin. The doctor checked the Wristband number and fed the girl a Suxiao Jiuxin Wan.

Zhang Bei looked at yet another unconscious couple and curled his lip.

The third, the fourth… all the way to the seventh cabin door.

This time, someone in the couple had finally managed not to pass out, so Zhang Bei took a couple more steps forward.

After finishing his examination, the doctor was about to have the two of them loaded onto the cart when the girl slowly spoke.

“P-please… separate… me… and him.”

Though her words came out in fits and starts, the doctor still understood what she meant.

Standing off to the side and witnessing this scene, Zhang Bei finally broke into a smile.

Now that felt good!

This was how it should be!

When disaster struck, everyone should fly off on their own. That was human nature!

The boy, who was still in a daze beside her, instantly jolted awake. “W-w-wifey, d-don’t!”

“Y-you… just now… you refused… no matter what… to hold me.”

“I-I-I was wrong!”

Listening to the two stutterers start arguing, Zhang Bei felt an abnormal sense of satisfaction.

Having seen the tourists’ real reactions, Zhang Bei hummed a little tune and sat down in a chair.

With his eyes half closed, he began checking the reward for this trial mission.

[Trial mission complete. Reward: one Expansion Mission.]

Zhang Bei read it carefully twice, and his face immediately darkened.

Are you playing nesting dolls with me here?!

Looking at the reward displayed on the System’s light screen, Zhang Bei tapped it directly.

[Expansion: The Amusement Park’s land is gradually becoming scarce. Please purchase enough land to install at least two facilities for expansion.]

Looking at the mission before him, Zhang Bei frowned.
The Amusement Park actually occupied a huge area. Aside from the attractions already in use, there was still a stretch of wasteland on the other side.

And beyond the Amusement Park, the remaining land was even more desolate.

This place had been on the outskirts to begin with, and with Dingyang City’s population constantly draining away, even fewer people were willing to develop the area.

After thinking it over for a while, Zhang Bei decided to set the task aside for now. There was no rush.

Once the timing was right, he could try incorporating all the nearby wasteland into the Amusement Park.

Zhang Bei had received a new task from the System, so he was in a fairly good mood.

The Morgue, however, was not nearly as peaceful at the moment.

“Baobao, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me!”

“Get lost!”

“Come on, don’t be like that. How about I buy you that bag you liked as soon as we get back?”

“Hm?”

“Really. I’ll buy it the second we get back!”

As soon as those words fell, the arguing couples around them immediately went quiet.

The looks in the men’s eyes were practically murderous.

The women’s eyes, meanwhile, lit up one after another.

The Ferris Wheel had also successfully left a massive psychological shadow in the hearts of every man present.

But in one corner, the painting style of a six-foot-three hulk of a man and his petite girlfriend was always a little different from everyone else’s.

“Be good, hubby. I’ll buy you an Iron Man when we get back, okay?”

“No!”

“Come on, hubby. I just didn’t have time to hug you, that’s all!”

“Hmph, hmph, hmph!”

Looking at her husband, the girl took a deep breath.

“I’m counting to three. If you don’t stop, you’re sleeping on the couch tonight.”

“Three, two-”

“Honey, what do you want for dinner?”

The girl smiled smugly. “Porridge.”

“You got it. I’ll make it as soon as we get home!”

After the trial run, the Ferris Wheel was officially added to the list of operating attractions.

The doctor, who had finally finished being busy for the time being, quickly found his boss.

“Boss, does your conscience not hurt?”

The moment Zhang Bei saw that familiar look in the doctor’s eyes, he shuddered.

“Nope.”

“Are you sure this Ferris Wheel is supposed to help couples strengthen their relationships?”

“Of course. Look at them. Aren’t their relationships better now?”

The doctor stared fixedly at his boss, his gaze full of resentment.

Their relationships got better because of the Ferris Wheel?

Wasn’t that clearly the result of countless handbags and all kinds of humiliating treaties?

The doctor glanced at the tablet in his hand. “Boss, a total of one hundred visitors rode the Ferris Wheel this time, and eighty-five of them fainted. I think it’s necessary to shorten the ride time.”

Zhang Bei waved a hand. “Relax. The Ejection Chair has been running for so long and nothing’s happened, right?”

Seeing the doctor’s expression gradually turn into that of someone about to eat a child, Zhang Bei couldn’t help taking two steps back.

“Keep up the good work. I’m leaving first!”

Watching his boss flee the scene in a hurry, the doctor let out a long sigh.

What sin did I commit to deserve this?

The moment he thought about having to work here for ten years, even the sky seemed to darken on its own.

In this sweltering autumn, the doctor actually felt a chill like the dead of winter.

Meanwhile, the men who had gotten off the Ferris Wheel had also come up with an excellent idea.

Since they had already been screwed over, their friends could forget about escaping too!

“Hello? Third Bro, hurry up and bring your girlfriend to the Amusement Park. There’s a Ferris Wheel here that’s super fun!”

“My dear son, hurry up and bring our daughter-in-law to the Amusement Park. I found something fun!”

“Xiaodong, weren’t you chasing after your goddess? Bring her to the Amusement Park. Your sister-in-law and I will be waiting here!”

One phone call after another went through as the men summoned friends and acquaintances alike.

And the women standing beside them made no move to stop them.

After all, what best friend could possibly be worth more than a handbag?

Time flew by, and a couple leaning against each other stepped through the gates of the Amusement Park.
