It was the weekend, and a holiday at that, so the amusement park was packed with people. Looking down from mid-air, the areas below many of the outdoor rides were teeming with crowds.
Amusement parks, after all, needed crowds to create an atmosphere.
However, with limited time, they could only pick a few attractions to enjoy.
Zhang Chen landed in a secluded spot and, with his family, happily walked towards the amusement park.
From a parked car by the roadside, a little girl, her hands gripping the car window, widened her eyes in surprise and exclaimed, “Daddy, Daddy, look, they’re flying down from the sky!”
“Mm-hmm, yes, flying down!” The little girl’s father was busy buying amusement park tickets on his phone.
300 yuan per ticket. Hiss… the ticket price was too expensive…
On the other side, Zhang Chen arrived at the ticket booth and bought five VIP tickets. This allowed access to all attractions via a VIP channel, with much shorter queues than the regular ones.
Of course, the tickets were indeed outrageously expensive.
But for Zhang Chen, the money in this world was merely a pile of waste paper.
Once they left, it would be useless, so why not spend it?
Besides, it was found money, so there was no heartache in spending it.
The group entered in single file. The entrance area resembled a long, fairytale-like town, with cartoon mascots Zhang Chen didn't recognize waving to everyone.
The animation and cultural industries in this world differed significantly from Zhang Chen’s original world, but the concepts were similar. The park adopted a cute style, highly favored by children.
Xiao Bai, Mo Ran, and Zhang Mo were particularly captivated by the park as soon as they entered.
They couldn't help but look around, seemingly wanting to crawl into the mascots to see what was inside, appearing utterly unworldly.
…And indeed, they had never seen an amusement park before.
“Ah, so this is an amusement park, just like I imagined!”
The one speaking was Katerina. Like the children, her eyes were shining.
“Cough, you’ve never been to an amusement park before, have you…”
Zhang Chen asked softly from the side.
“That’s right, I’ve only seen them on television. This is truly my first time!”
“Before, under my father, I was managed militarily every day, undergoing training. After growing up, I followed orders on missions. I genuinely never had the chance to come here!”
Katerina said excitedly.
“Then… you all have fun. See what you’d like to play?”
“I must remind you all that we only have… one hour and forty-five minutes, so prioritize playing what you want to play the most!”
Zhang Chen reminded them.
“I want to ride the roller coaster! I’ve wanted to do that for a long time!”
Katerina pointed to the roller coaster in the distance, which was speeding past with the screams and cries of tourists.
“Alright, go ahead. Anyone else want to go? You can go with her.”
Zhang Chen asked.
Xiao Bai and Mo Ran glanced at the roller coaster, their faces indifferent.
Their expressions seemed to say: What’s so fun about that… we often experience similar situations during battles…
“I want to play this!”
Xiao Bai suddenly pointed to a promotional poster.
It depicted a sinister and terrifying ancient castle, with illustrations of vampire bats and ghosts.
Upon seeing this, Mo Ran’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly:
“Yes, yes, this looks like a lot of fun!”
Zhang Chen quickly waved his hand to stop them:
“You two can’t play this!”
“Why?” Xiao Bai and Mo Ran asked, utterly confused.
Of course, he couldn’t let them go to the haunted house.
If this world’s haunted houses were like those in Zhang Chen’s original world, with actors playing NPCs or monsters, then given Xiao Bai and Mo Ran’s personalities, they would surely be unsatisfied until they had eliminated all the monsters inside.
Then the haunted house would truly become a haunted house…
However, he couldn't explain this directly to them, as they would surely make all sorts of promises about not taking action just to play.
But the truth was, if they were startled by staff inside, they would instinctively retaliate. With the fragile bodies of the humans in this world, they likely couldn't withstand even a fraction of Xiao Bai’s strength. Therefore, promises wouldn’t suffice.
“Because the haunted house doesn’t allow children your age to play. You’re too young. See, it’s written here!”
Zhang Chen pointed to the sign on the haunted house poster that read: "Not recommended for pregnant women, people with high blood pressure, or heart conditions!"
“It says here: Forbidden for girls under twenty years old!”
“We’re here to have fun at the amusement park, so we have to follow their rules. There are many other fun games, why don’t you try something else?”
Zhang Chen said with a strained smile.
“Really? Is that what it says?”
Mo Ran, although appearing older than Xiao Bai, was less than a month old since her birth and couldn't recognize a single character.
“Mm… it seems so. The characters match!”
Xiao Bai frowned and analyzed. In reality, she didn’t recognize many characters either; her literacy level was about the same as Mo Ran’s.
“Then… let’s play something else…”
Mo Ran said, looking disappointed.
“Phew… it actually worked? Being uncultured really makes people easy to fool!”
Zhang Chen thought to himself, not daring to say it aloud.
Since they were bored, Xiao Bai and Mo Ran could only follow Katerina to ride the roller coaster.
After the ride, the girls were all excited and chattered incessantly.
Although Katerina was interacting with Xiao Bai and Mo Ran up close for the first time, they were all naturally candid, so they quickly became good friends. The three of them walked arm in arm, becoming a beautiful sight in the amusement park.
With just the three of them, they were undoubtedly the pinnacle of beauty in the entire park.
They attracted envious glances, and some even took their pictures repeatedly.
Bang!
As they strolled through the park, eating ice cream, a sound drew everyone's attention.
It was a boxing machine that tested strength.
A muscular man, with tattoos covering his arms, was hitting the machine.
Shortly after, a score of 876 appeared on the machine, earning applause from the surrounding crowd, who seemed to consider it a high score.
The muscular man saw Katerina, Xiao Bai, and Mo Ran, whose beauty was unparalleled and whose figures were like supermodels with nine-head proportions. He couldn't help but flex his muscles towards Zhang Chen, showing off and provoking him.
Zhang Chen pretended not to see, turning his head away.
Compare his strength to the humans of this world? How bored would he have to be?
“Daddy, Daddy, I want to play this too!”
Zhang Mo, seeing the banging machine, said wistfully.
“Alright, but go easy on it, don’t break the machine!”
Zhang Chen helplessly lifted Zhang Mo onto his chest—he was only three years old and too short to reach the boxing machine.
“Ya, heh!”
Zhang Mo’s voice was childish, and then he gently threw a punch!
