Chapter 45 Amusement Park 2 (They're all incredibly brave)

"If you're too scared, switch games. Stop talking nonsense and disturbing other people's games," a man shouted.

Yun Xin looked up and, coincidentally, saw the person who had said he didn't believe in the existence of the evolution game when they first entered the amusement park.

The loud-voiced man wasn't afraid at all. Before getting on the roller coaster, he even gave Yun Xin a defiant look.

The four girls were willing to give up their seats so that the passengers behind them could board first.

They said, "We're not in a hurry, let's see how things go first."

As I spoke, I thought to myself, they're here to relax, not to risk their lives. It's not too late to go up after confirming the game equipment is safe.

"If you're so timid, why are you riding roller coasters?" the loud-voiced man muttered, though it was unclear who he was referring to.

Yun Xin smiled and said to Xiao Wei, "Wait here for a while. I want to see them finish playing before I leave."

"Okay," Xiao Wei agreed.

As long as Yun Xin doesn't sit on it herself, everything is negotiable.

Soon, the roller coaster was full of passengers, and the ride started.

The roller coaster was lifted from the horizontal plane to a 60-degree slope, and the passengers screamed with excitement or elation.

Just as everyone was waiting for the thrilling plunge, the roller coaster... stopped moving.

"What's going on?" four girls who weren't on the bus whispered among themselves. "Why are they taking so long? I saw in the videos online that they rushed off very quickly."

"Go!" shouted the passengers on the roller coaster, but the roller coaster remained motionless and stopped.

At that moment, passengers in both the front and back rows panicked.

"What happened? Why did it stop?"

"Oh my god! I'm never afraid of roller coasters, but I panicked when you stopped like that!"

"Can't you just give me a quick death?"

The loud-voiced man's face contorted with fear, his roar echoing throughout the amusement park, "Isn't anyone going to do anything about this? The roller coaster is on strike!!"

The staff below hurriedly tried to contact each other using walkie-talkies.

Soon after, repair personnel arrived to fix the problem.

It took about 20 minutes before the passengers were able to get off the roller coaster.

The moment their feet touched the ground, the passengers were unsteady on their feet, their faces were pale, and they all looked more haggard than the last.

The loud-voiced man's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Yun Xin had seen enough, and pulled Xiao Wei away, saying, "Let's go."

The fourth stop, "Railway Mining Car".

Compared to roller coasters, mine trains are much safer. The tracks are set on the ground, and the travel speed is not as fast as that of roller coasters.

The track has many curves, making riders feel like they might be thrown off at any moment, which makes the ride quite thrilling.

From a design perspective, it is a relatively safe game project.

However, Xiao Wei remained very cautious, saying, "Let's not sit down yet, let others sit down first and see."

Looking at the tourists at the front of the line, Yunxin kindly advised, "I don't think it's very safe, you'd better not sit here."

That's a clever way of putting it.

It was actually addressed to the tourists at the front of the line.

But to others, she appeared to be speaking to her colleague, Xiao Wei.

Therefore, even if they are unhappy, they will not speak out in criticism.

Shortly after Yunxin finished speaking, the mining cart took the previous group of tourists around and safely arrived at the destination.

The previous group of tourists returned safely.

The new group of tourists subtly sized up Yun Xin, their expressions indescribable. Then, without hesitation, they sat down.

Yun Xin, "..."

Let alone helping Xiao Wei get an A or removing the debuff, she herself couldn't be persuaded to do it.

The tourists who dare to come to the Death Park are indeed incredibly brave.

"Do you want to see it?" Xiao Wei asked.

"Let me see." Yun Xin took out her phone and glanced at the time. "After I check, we can go to the restaurant for dinner."

"Okay, then let's watch for a while longer."

After the mining truck started, they passed through the artificial desert landscape and entered the tunnel.

However, at that moment, the train derailed, and the two passengers sitting in the front row were seriously injured and fell into a coma.

Some passengers bravely got off the bus and ran out to seek help.

Some passengers were trapped inside the mine carts and were rescued only after staff arrived.

Two staff members huddled in a corner and began to whisper among themselves.

"Didn't I just say that the mine carts make a strange clanging sound when they run? We need to get someone to fix them, so it can't be opened for the time being?"

Another person said, "The tourists have been queuing for almost an hour. How can we tell them that the ride needs to be temporarily closed and ask them to go somewhere else? I know the mine cart makes strange noises, but it ran fine a few times before. I didn't expect this time..."

At this point, another person joined the conversation, "We found out that two bolts on the locomotive's guide wheel assembly came loose, causing the axle to jam. The locomotive lurched downwards, and the rear half of it hit the tunnel ceiling. Moreover, this force tore off the traction rod, which is why the train derailed."

The three of them looked at each other, and finally, without prior agreement, they all chose to shut up.

Logically, given the distance and the low volume, Yun Xin shouldn't have been able to hear it. However, as her attributes increased, her hearing and eyesight improved significantly.

She heard the whispers of the staff very clearly.

"The 'misfortune' debuff seems to turn what was originally a 'possible' safety incident into a '100% certain' occurrence," Yun Xin pondered.

"I'm hungry, shall we go eat?"

The sound of voices interrupted her thoughts.

Yun Xin nodded. "Let's go."

Upon seeing the restaurant and pushing open the door, Yun Xin was immediately stunned by what she saw.

So much black fog!

So many countdowns!

She then realized that her opportunity had arrived.

Yun Xin carefully observed the food served to the people counting down the day and gestured to Xiao Wei, "There's something wrong with the braised tofu with wood ear mushrooms. Tell the restaurant not to sell it."

"Okay." Xiao Wei obediently walked over there.

At that moment, a girl angrily blocked the window, shouting, "What's wrong with your restaurant? My friend ate your food and keeps complaining of a stomachache!"

“You can’t just say things like that.” The restaurant manager arrived and stated firmly, “We use only fresh ingredients, there’s absolutely no problem.”

"Did your friend eat something strange before going to the restaurant?"

The girl hesitated when asked this question. After all, who goes to an amusement park without eating snacks? Her stomachache now was probably from eating something she shouldn't have.

But then she thought about it again, and realized that they had shared snacks the whole way. The only exception was when they ate at restaurants, which her friend ate alone.

Because she has a small appetite and was full from snacking, she declined the offer to have a meal.

Thinking of this, the girl straightened her back and spoke louder, "The problem is with the food at your restaurant! I ate everything else and was fine. But she ate your restaurant's food alone, and soon after eating it, she complained of a stomachache."

The restaurant manager felt he had nowhere to turn for justice.

Unfortunately, at that moment, other guests also experienced abdominal pain. Some also felt dizzy and nauseous, and were unable to stop vomiting.

"What's going on? Call an ambulance!" The restaurant manager was sweating profusely.

If so many customers get food poisoning from eating at their restaurant, then their restaurant is doomed.

Just as things were getting tricky, a kitchen worker ran over, shouting from afar, "Don't sell braised tofu with wood ear mushrooms!!"

"What is it now?" The restaurant manager's forehead veins throbbed.

“Um…” the kitchen worker stammered.

"Say what you have to say in front of everyone." The girl grabbed the waiter and wouldn't let go, saying sternly, "I've already called the police, don't think you can just get away with this!"

Left with no other choice, the kitchen worker had to lower his head and admit in front of everyone, "The chef is getting old... his memory is failing. He soaked a batch of wood ear mushrooms first, then forgot and soaked another batch."

"The first batch of wood ear mushrooms was used when cooking."

"Because it has been soaked for too long, the bacteria levels may be too high, and it's not good for your health if you eat it..."

The case is solved! No wonder the restaurant still had food poisoning despite using fresh ingredients.

The restaurant manager felt dizzy. But he rallied and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Get him to the infirmary right now!"

Meanwhile, the girl who had complained about the restaurant's food quality froze, staring blankly into thin air. She seemed to be both daydreaming and reading a written description.

Seeing this scene, Yunxin felt both sympathy for the innocent diners being implicated and regret that Xiao Wei had missed a good opportunity.

“Since someone is already stopping me, I won’t go.” Xiao Wei returned to Yun Xin’s side, her mind focused on planning, “If we can’t eat at this restaurant, let’s go somewhere else.”

In the afternoon, the roller coaster's seatbelt automatically released, killing one rider instantly and causing extreme panic among the other riders. The amusement park finally took the incident seriously and decided to close early.

Yunxin spent a day wandering around the Death Park and felt that everything was absurd.

Despite so many accidents, the amusement park continued to operate as if nothing had happened until widespread panic ensued.

The tourists too. So many people were injured and sent to the infirmary, yet they were still able to continue playing.

The most outrageous thing was that she took Xiao Wei around everywhere, but they didn't get to play a single attraction... because every attraction looked too dangerous, and Xiao Wei told her to wait and watch others play first. Then, something went wrong while she was waiting, and instead of playing, she rushed to the next attraction.

This process was repeated many times until the day ended.

Yunxin looked at the huge amusement park, her feelings complicated. What kind of mess is this? She didn't get to play, and she failed to remove the debuff; it was a complete waste of time.

"I shouldn't have chosen this amusement park," Yunxin reflected deeply.

The idea of ​​removing debuffs early and then having a good time is just wishful thinking and has absolutely nothing to do with reality.

"It's alright, I had a great day." Xiao Wei said, completely unconcerned.

Yun Xin remained silent.

I wandered around the amusement park from morning to afternoon and didn't get to ride a single attraction. What's so fun about that?

Her dog even lied to comfort her.

Yunxin was unsure whether to feel relieved or guilty.

Upon further reflection, something was amiss. Her intuition radar wasn't reacting, which proved that Xiao Wei wasn't lying to her.

“It’s true.” Xiao Wei looked at Yun Xin with puppy eyes and smiled brightly. “I’m so glad to have played with you at the amusement park, and the things that happened were very interesting.”

Yun Xin was certain once again that no one could resist the adorable Xiu Gou... at least she couldn't.

On the way home, Xiao Wei drove while Yun Xin sat in the passenger seat reading the news on her phone.

When Yunxin arrived, she asked Xiao Wei when he learned to drive and where he got the car.

Xiao Wei said he got his driver's license because it was necessary for work. He bought the car because it would be more convenient to get around.

In fact, Yunxin also got her driver's license.

She usually gets around by bus and subway, so she doesn't need her driver's license.

Yunxin searched for information about the disaster-stricken cities and quickly found the information she needed.

Although the city hit by hail is expected to suffer a significant reduction in grain production, at least most people are unharmed.

The city is shrouded in thick fog, which has lingered for days. To ensure the safety of residents, all vehicles are subject to speed limits. It is said that if any accidents occur under these circumstances, the government will consider restricting vehicle movement until the fog clears.

The worst affected cities were those ravaged by blizzards and left without power. In modern society, some people may not understand what it means to be without power for several days in a row.

My phone is out of battery and I can't charge it.

The refrigerator is out of power and cannot work properly.

The air conditioner is out of power and can't provide heating.

I wanted to take a shower in the dead of winter, but even the electric water heater wasn't working!

Although the government delivered supplies door-to-door, such as coal braziers for heating and bottled water and instant noodles to keep people from starving, the quality of life was indeed very poor.

Online reports suggest that some residents have broken down emotionally, shouting, "I didn't go online to check the Takahashi Foundation's official Weibo account, nor did I read the news, so why should I suffer with you?"

Yes, this resident knew nothing about it until the blizzard hit, when he heard the reason from other residents in the community.

Upon learning the truth, she wept bitterly. She felt as if all the suffering she hadn't endured in the first half of her life had been experienced in just these few days…
