Chapter 1

【Feng Bujue, Level 29】

【Please select the game mode you wish to join.】

【You have selected Single Player Survival Mode (Nightmare), please confirm.】

【Confirmed, scenario generating...】

【Loading start, please wait.】

"Welcome to Thriller Paradise." This time, the voice reciting the lines sounded very familiar, like the deep male voice that often appears in trailers for European and American blockbusters.

【Loading complete, you are currently playing Single Player Survival Mode (Nightmare).】

【This mode provides a scenario introduction and has a chance to generate side hidden quests and a special worldview.】

【Scenario Completion Reward: An 80% bonus to the basic experience earned upon settlement.】

"Oh, this reward is high," Feng Bujue said upon seeing the prompt. "Even though Single Player Survival takes less time, this is Nightmare difficulty. The reward at settlement will definitely be good; 80% bonus experience is like double."

Actually, there wasn't much to get excited about. For those rmB (renminbi, Chinese currency) players who use double experience cards, every game is a 100% bonus to basic experience...

At this moment, the opening CG began to play.

The scene that appeared before Feng Bujue's eyes was something like a paper-cut animation; a very childish and "cartoonish" style.

But when Feng Bujue saw the first scene, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "No way..."

In the picture, there were blue skies, white clouds, and bright sunshine.

In the distance was a range of dark green mountains, their peaks capped with white snow.

The camera moved down, revealing many rectangular houses of various colors, with a smooth gray road running in front of them.

【This is a small town located in Colorado, USA.】

"No, no, no, no..." Feng Bujue repeated as if hypnotizing himself, "Impossible... this is impossible!"

【This is a peaceful, tiny, useless, rural, remote, nameless, childish, simple, small-farmer-minded, hick, right-wing, flat-topped, truck-driving, outdated, hillbilly, inbred, messed up, expired, out-of-the-way, poor, redneck... small mountain village.】

【This is...】

As the system voice spoke to this point, in the CG's close-up, a wooden sign appeared on a patch of snow, with the words "southpark" written on it.

【South Park.】

"Aaaagh—!!!!!!!!!" Feng Bujue screamed.

A second later, he screamed again: "Aaaagh—!!!"

He didn't even know why he was doing this...

【According to accurate data from the US Department of Homeland Security, the world is experiencing a severe economic recession and ecological crisis, like a plague. The reason is... Peruvian pan flute bands.】

【They are all over the world, concentrated in areas with high densities of tourists and shoppers, playing Peruvian pan flute music. In some areas, there are an average of 65 Peruvian pan flute bands per square kilometer.】

【And all of this will be stopped this morning...】

At this point, the scenario officially began.

At this moment, Feng Bujue had become like the style of this scenario, a flat paper-cut figure.

He stood on a snowy mountain near South Park, with thick snow under his feet and a few sparse fir forests around him. The sunshine above his head was plentiful, and the view was wide open. From here, he could directly see the town at the foot of the mountain, and it didn't look like anything special...

Strangely, in this place surrounded by snow, he didn't feel cold. His body felt like it was around twenty degrees Celsius, and the humidity was just right, a very comfortable state.

"This is going to kill me..." Feng Bujue was covered in cold sweat. He had never shown this level of tension in any scenario. "Pan flute bands... pan flute bands..." He quickly searched his mind for memories of the *South Park* animation. "Got it! Episodes ten and eleven of season twelve, 'Pandemic.'"

Feng Bujue had roughly recalled the plot, and almost at the moment he remembered, the system prompt came:

【Main Quest Triggered】

【Survive Jimbo and Ned's attack.】

"Jimbo and Ned..." Feng Bujue's face twitched. He immediately became vigilant and began to look around. "Those two aren't hunting, are they..."

Just as he muttered this to himself, he heard a shout from afar: "It's charging at us~"

As soon as the shout started, the sound of submachine gun fire followed closely behind.

Without even thinking, Feng Bujue knew that the bullets were aimed at him. He hugged his head with both hands and darted in the opposite direction of the sound.

In fact, his reaction was already slow. Running after hearing the gunshot definitely couldn't outrun the bullets.

Fortunately, Feng Bujue had the protection of both the [Embrace of Artemis] and the [Echo Armor], so even though he was hit by more than a dozen bullets in two seconds, he didn't lose any survival points.

Feng Bujue spent five seconds hiding behind a large rock, which temporarily put him out of the opponent's line of fire. But as soon as he caught his breath, he heard Jimbo shouting to Ned in the distance, "Ned! It's hiding behind the rock, throw a bomb!"

Ned's reply sounded like a robot (Ned has throat cancer due to excessive smoking and lost his right arm in the war. He needs to use a voice synthesizer against his throat to speak). He used that magnetic electronic voice and always flat tone to reply, "Understood--"

Feng Bujue could only leave his original position again, shouting as he ran, "I'm a human! A human!"

But his voice was drowned out by the machine gun fire and the subsequent explosions.

"This isn't going to work." Feng Bujue quickly realized the seriousness of the situation. His survival value was originally only 90% (because he had equipped the [Implantable Alchemy Amplification Device]). Even with the protection of powerful equipment, it was impossible to remain unscathed from repeated bursts from an automatic rifle. What's more, Jimbo and Ned had the firepower of arms dealers. God knows what they would pull out next.

Feng Bujue didn't want to get entangled with them any longer. Instead of trying to rush up to these two and prove that he was human, he might as well run, run into town, and these two "hunting" lunatics wouldn't run amok anymore... hopefully.

Thinking of this, Spiritual Consciousness Convergence was suddenly activated, and he turned into a swift shadow, bypassing the opponent's firepower and sprinting towards the foot of the mountain.

At the beginning of this scenario, Feng Bujue hadn't even had a chance to experiment with that summoning skill before being beaten into a hasty retreat.

He also knew very well in his heart that in the world of South Park, no place, no character, was safe, and no one's IQ, logic, or worldview could be trusted...

It looked very harmonious here, but for an outsider like him, it was more dangerous than hell...
