Lin Leyou had been trapped by his family his entire life. Right after graduating from high school, he was forced to start working to support them, all because he had just gained a younger brother. ...
Chapter 144 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui blinked blankly, the scene already appearing in his mind, a very realistic portrayal.
"Brother Lin, you're absolutely right. If I saw that scene, I would think the same way. Players targeted by evil spirits have no idea that they are just a hair's breadth away from death."
“I would definitely stay where I am immediately, rather than trying to warn him or save him.”
Lin Leyou looked at the sightseeing vehicle and said, "It can go. You can sit in the front."
After Xue Rui boarded the vehicle, he noticed a screen at the front that displayed a cartoon map of the entire amusement park. Clicking on a particular icon would allow the vehicle to automatically drive to that destination without needing a key.
So none of those players looked carefully?
Lin Leyou sat in the back. "Shall we go?"
Xue Rui: "Yes, it's all set up."
Sure enough, the car started as soon as he finished speaking. It made a sound, but it wasn't loud; people a little further away might not be able to hear it.
The sightseeing bus doesn't move very fast, which makes it easy for Lin Leyou to observe the surroundings.
Perhaps the water park they were going to was quite far from the entrance, which is why they didn't see many other players along the way.
On the way, I did see two or three lone players, but they only flashed by at the edge of my detection range.
Lin Leyou didn't say anything; if they'd run away, they'd run away.
Just then, a faint scream came from afar. Both of them looked in that direction, but all they could see was thick fog.
Lin Leyou: "It sounds like it's coming from up high up. Is it the Ferris wheel? I doubt anyone would dare ride a roller coaster these days."
Xue Rui: "It should be, but if it's a Ferris wheel, then it's probably not as safe as they think."
Lin Leyou said, "There is no such thing as a 100% safe project."
The two didn't pay much attention. If other players died, they died. Did they have to go and save them?
The sightseeing bus took them to the entrance of the water park and then automatically stopped in a designated parking space nearby, where the two of them got off.
The players who had flashed past him earlier at the edge of his item detection area are now gathered together.
They cautiously leaned against a corner, glancing around every now and then. It was a small group of more than ten people, but they didn't dare to speak loudly, sometimes only in whispers.
Did you sense anything just now?
Someone raised their hand, "I have one! I used a prop just now and saw a sightseeing vehicle!"
"My God, this is terrifying! A player is sitting in front, and behind him is a skeleton monster emitting black smoke. That player didn't even notice the monster behind him. He's doomed!"
"You're too bold! This is what happens when you're alone. You went on a sightseeing bus alone, so it's no wonder you got targeted by ghosts. Anyway, we should all be more careful from now on. It's okay to die yourself, but we can't cause trouble for others!"
"Don't worry, we're not newbies who've never been into a dungeon before."
"Stop talking, let's get out of here quickly. What if the monsters come after that player gets killed? Let's go, let's go somewhere far away."
Only then did everyone realize what had happened.
"Hurry, hurry, let's go! They might really come back for us!"
These people only chatted for a short while, and when this topic came up, everyone was terrified and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
But after walking in one direction for only a short while, they were devastated to find themselves lost.
Which way should we go?
The group felt like it didn't matter which way they went!
All I could see was fog. Before, I could see some buildings and equipment to help me find my way.
However, we have clearly deviated from the original route, so we have no idea where we are now.
In short, they're lost now, and who knows which way to go away from where that monster was.
"Does anyone still know the route? Or the direction?"
No one spoke. Those who were using items just now can't use them anymore. Some items have time limits or cooldown periods.
“Standing still isn’t a solution. We need to find projects to work on and get stamps. Right now, we don’t have a single stamp.”
"It might guarantee our safety for a short time, but it definitely won't last long. What do you think? Should we try our luck and just choose a direction to go?"
Everyone thought it was a good idea, since standing still and waiting would only lead to certain death anyway.
"So, who among you has the best luck? How about letting him choose?"
"How do you define good luck?"
"I don't want to. What if we make the wrong choice later and everyone blames the person who made the decision? Just because we were lucky before doesn't mean we'll be lucky again. If we make the wrong choice, we'll all die together."
"I don't agree either; that's unreliable."
"How about we each choose a direction and then walk in the direction most people chose? What do you all think?"
Everyone agrees with this approach: the minority submits to the majority. If the minority is still dissatisfied, then they can go their own way.
Finally, they chose a direction and kept walking in that direction. If they encountered an obstacle that they couldn't overcome, they would take a longer route.
They originally thought that even if their luck was bad, they could at least choose a slightly more normal direction, but they didn't expect their luck to be so unpredictable.
This direction is exactly where Lin Leyou and his group are heading, the route to the water park.
Of course, Lin Leyou and his group went by car, while these players found their way there by walking, so the time difference was quite long.
Lin Leyou stood at the entrance of the water park and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
Xue Rui: "Wait, there's some information about the location of this entrance."
Lin Leyou leaned over and took a look. It was indeed a simple introduction, such as slides, wave pools, and rafting. If it wasn't a dungeon, it seemed like it would be fine to play around with it.
If you want to go out and have fun in the Endless World, be careful of Jiang Xiaoyue and her family's revenge. What a hassle!
So... if you want to play, just wait until you're back in the real world. It won't take up much time anyway.
Looking back now, it seems I never actually went to an amusement park in my past life, let alone played there, I never even passed by one.
He had only occasionally seen some videos and pictures on TV or in the news.
However... at that time, I just glanced at it casually and had no intention of playing it at all.
Xue Rui, "Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou snapped out of her daze. "What's wrong?"
Xue Rui, "Shall we play together?"
Lin Leyou hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse, because he really wanted to play.
"Sure, I mainly came to this instance to keep you company, but if we want to play together, how about this rafting trip?"
Rafts come in all sizes; they can get a big one.
Xue Rui, of course, wouldn't object. He skipped along with a smile, "Let's go."
With Lin Leyou, an NPC, around, no matter how dangerous the rafting trip is, Xue Rui won't encounter any other NPCs, making it feel just like a real rafting trip.
We followed the route to the starting point of the rafting trip.
When they got closer, they discovered that the mist that had been shrouding them as if it were stuck in the air had suddenly dissipated!
It's not that all the fog has cleared up; it's just that the fog has cleared up in the area where the rafting activity is located.
So that's how it is?
Lin Leyou said, "This way, players can see how other players in the same game are dying miserably."
Xue Rui nodded. This might scare away some timid players and make them go to other rides. In that case, a hundred players doesn't seem like a lot for the entire amusement park.
The two went over and picked out a raft. "Brother Lin, what do you think of this one?"
Lin Leyou didn't care about that, "Then this one will do."
Place the raft in the water.
They were ready to set off. The water in the rafting river was flowing, but the speed was a bit slow. However, the scenery on both sides of the river was really nice.
It feels like being in the tropics. When I return to the real world, I definitely want to travel to the south and play by the sea.
Xue Rui, "Hmm?"
Lin Leyou looked at him, "What?"
Xue Rui: "There seems to be something underwater."
Lin Leyou didn't care at all, "Never mind that."
Xue Rui blinked, obediently ignoring it. He knew without a doubt that what was underwater was an NPC hiding there, there to attack the players.
However, it must have seen Lin Leyou sitting next to it, so it merely passed by and did not actually attack.
The entire rafting trip lasted about twenty minutes. Xue Rui watched it with great enjoyment, his smile never fading, since he had never been to an amusement park in the real world.
They received elite education from a young age and were not allowed to play. Not to mention amusement parks, even their toys were carefully selected educational games or very complicated and annoying things.
To his surprise, he was able to play this game just before he turned 18.
The rafting trip has ended.
Xue Rui successfully obtained a stamp at the finish line. The stamp was shaped like a driftboat, and it was a cute little chibi version.
Lin Leyou leaned closer to take a look. "Can this be put in a backpack?"
Xue Rui tried it, "It doesn't work."
Lin Leyou pondered, "So that means it can be stolen?"
Xue Rui gently squeezed it. "It should be fine, right?"
He casually put the stamp in his pocket. "Let's go, Brother Lin, let's go check out the next project."
Lin Leyou nodded, "Don't go on any of the rides that require you to play alone, just in case something unexpected happens."
Xue Rui didn't try to be brave. He didn't want to fail the level and he also wanted to spend more time with Lin Leyou, even though Lin Leyou was currently in the terrifying form of a skeleton monster.
"kindness."
Sure enough, there were so many attractions at the water park. After they tried a few, Xue Rui had already collected five stamps.
