Chapter 88

Zhang Bei shut himself inside the Monitoring Room, the brush in his hand moving at lightning speed.

Once he had a rough concept, the blueprint was completed very quickly.

This thing couldn’t really be considered some large-scale amusement attraction. It was just meant to give children a chance to experience it.

As the owner of an amusement park, if he let that many kids stand around and watch without doing anything, would he even be human?

“System, you can build this, right?”

[Scanning. Scan complete. It can be built. Construction cost: fifty thousand Emotional Value.]

Zhang Bei smacked his lips. “Didn’t I already purchase the hot-air propulsion and electromagnetic devices? Why is it still so expensive?”

[It must be paired with parachutes. The facility costs thirty thousand.]

Zhang Bei scratched his hair and pulled up the Amusement Park’s 3D map.

It was only fifty thousand. Given the Amusement Park’s current popularity, he could still afford it.

Zhang Bei quickly settled on a location for the facility: right beside the Ferris Wheel.

It was close to Morgue No. 2, which would ensure that when the children came down from the sky, they could get the best possible rest.

Zhang Bei recalculated everything once more. Only after making sure there were no problems did he pick up the blueprint.

“System, same old rules!”

[Workers are entering the site. Emotional Value has been deducted. Estimated construction time: four hours.]

Zhang Bei checked the time. In four hours, it would be just about time for the afternoon opening.

He could announce the news now.

He pushed open the door of the Monitoring Room and quickly found Gu Yue, who was maintaining order.

“Put out a notice. There will be a parent-child attraction this afternoon, and we’ll run one trial first.”

“Yes, boss!”

Although Gu Yue was not as quick as Li Yang, she still carried out Zhang Bei’s task in full.

In just over ten minutes, news of the parent-child attraction had spread among the Amusement Park’s regular visitors.

And as one of the first batch of tourists to experience the Amusement Park, Cao Jia naturally received the news as well.

That’s right. Cao Jia was the man who had been among the first to try the Drop Tower and had ultimately gotten a dismissive “tch” from his own son.

“Son, that Amusement Park seems to have some kind of parent-child attraction this afternoon. Want to try it?”

“Really?”

“Really. Your mom isn’t back yet, so how about we go play for a bit?”

“Thanks, Dad!”

“Finish your homework first. Otherwise, nobody gets to live!”

“Mission guaranteed!”

Before they knew it, afternoon had arrived, and the black cloth covering the area beside the Morgue was finally removed.

Countless visitors also got to see the true appearance of the parent-child attraction.

Cao Jia brought his son along, parked the car, and entered the Amusement Park.

“Miss, let me ask you, where’s that parent-child attraction?”

Gu Yue, who had been stopped, gave the man a deep look. “Right beside the Ferris Wheel.”

“Thanks!”

Cao Jia pulled his son along and soon found the attraction’s location.

Only, when he looked at the thing in front of him, a bad feeling surged into his heart.

Have you ever seen an Italian cannon?

The current Cao Jia could tell you very clearly that he had never seen an Italian cannon, but he had now personally witnessed a Human Cannon.

The whole thing was shaped like a Cannon. Judging by its size, it could just fit one adult and one child.

And at the mouth of the Cannon, there was also a track pointing upward toward the sky.

“Hello, sir. Would you like to experience it?”

At this moment, Zhang Bei had transformed into an enthusiastic ticket seller, smiling warmly at Cao Jia in front of him.

“Uh… sure. Give me one ticket!”

Since they were already here, he couldn’t just not ride it. After all, his kid had been eyeing it for so long.

Very soon, Zhang Bei had gathered enough people for one round.

There were thirty Cannons of this type in total, and the System’s trial run was set according to the lowest tier of ten people.
Zhang Bei enthusiastically helped every visitor get strapped into their equipment.

“Just hold the child and lie down inside.”

Watching the parents lie down one after another, Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes and closed the bottom of the Cannon.

“Just a quick disclaimer: if you feel like you’re going too fast, you can pull the ring by your hand.”

The doctor had just pushed a cartload of visitors onto the wooden platform when he saw Zhang Bei press the switch.

“No, wait!”

Unfortunately, sound needed time to travel.

With a roar from the base of the Cannon, chassis after chassis with only four wheels shot out of the barrel in the blink of an eye.

The moment each chassis reached the top of the track, it came to an abrupt stop, and the parents shot into the sky with their children in their arms.

That was when another of Zhang Bei’s designs came into play.

From the outside, the thing looked like half an exoskeleton suit.

In reality, it carried a small Thermal Air Power Device, while also serving to secure the child to the parent.

Under electromagnetic propulsion, the parents quickly reached an altitude of one hundred and fifty meters.

At that point, the Thermal Air Power Device kicked in and continued pushing them higher.

Cao Jia felt the cold air high above the ground, and his entire body stiffened.

Little Cao, strapped to his chest, already had tears welling in the corners of his eyes. “Dad, I-I-I’m scared!”

At that moment, Cao Jia very much wanted to retort, “You think I’m not scared too?”

But as his child’s role model, he couldn’t exactly admit defeat now.

“It’s fine. J-just a little while. It’ll be over s-soon.”

It really wasn’t that long. After they kept flying upward for three minutes, a parachute deployed.

Current altitude above ground: three hundred meters!

Cao Jia felt dizzy after just one glance down.

With the steel exoskeleton, plus the combined weight of one adult and one child, Cao Jia felt his descent getting faster and faster.

And at that exact moment, Zhang Bei’s words echoed in his ears.

If you feel like you’re going too fast, you can pull the ring by your hand!

Cao Jia didn’t hesitate at all. He pulled it immediately.

Click!

The exoskeleton on his chest detached in an instant, and a parachute opened not far away from Cao Jia.

Watching his own son gradually drift farther and farther away from him, Cao Jia opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

The doctor was practically covered in question marks from head to toe.

You call this a parent-child activity?

“Boss!”

Zhang Bei was staring at the sixty parachutes in the sky, barely holding back his laughter.

The moment he heard the doctor’s resentful voice, he jolted.

“What’s wrong with you?”

The doctor glanced at the red alerts on his tablet. “They’re still children!”

“Exactly. Would I even be human if the Amusement Park didn’t let children play?”

Hearing Zhang Bei’s answer, the doctor kept taking deep breaths, forcefully suppressing the violent thoughts raging in his heart.

“This is the man who pays my salary. This is the boss. I can’t lose my temper!”

After repeatedly hypnotizing himself, the doctor finally buried all his emotions in a resentful gaze.

He silently sighed, then turned around to get the Suxiao Jiuxin Wan.

In truth, Zhang Bei had actually taken the children’s psychological tolerance into consideration this time.

With the current electromagnetic and thermal air propulsion, forget three hundred meters-even five hundred meters would be easy.

He had even been kind enough to give the parents the choice of whether to release their children.

And these parents truly hadn’t disappointed Zhang Bei. Without exception, every single one of them had chosen to let go.

After drifting through the sky for a full three minutes, the parachutes gradually returned to the ground.

Cao Jia quickly spotted his son. When he saw that the boy had completely passed out, his scalp went numb.
