Chapter 49 Haunted House

"He named me 'Wang', probably because he wanted to constantly remind me not to have any delusional thoughts." Chen Wang recalled his childhood and unconsciously tightened his grip on the water cup. "When I was little, I often liked to run outside and was not very obedient."

"But he picked me up because he thought I had a high talent level and used me as a tool to make money."

There was no need for Chen Wang to explain the rest, as Yu Zhi could roughly guess it.

The homeless man probably guessed that Chen Wang came from a good family and might have inherited a superior talent bloodline. He just wanted to give him food to eat, and he probably wouldn't be very nice to him on a daily basis.

When Chen Wang grew up a little, he showed his extraordinary talent in mechas, started working in the black market, and gradually became famous.

"Two years ago, he got drunk and fell, hitting his head. When we found him, he was already dead." Chen Wang said calmly, "But I just felt relaxed all over. At that time, I even thought I was terrible."

Yu Zhi frowned and corrected him, "He wasn't kind to you and had no real feelings for you, so you naturally don't have to feel sad about his death."

Chen Wang looked at her intently for two seconds, as if to confirm the truth of her thoughts.

"Yeah." He smiled gradually, "I hope you don't think I'm cold-blooded."

"Of course not," Yu Zhi answered without hesitation, "Didn't you just help me beat up Sheng Jiayi? And you even came to pick me up when it was raining before."

"I know you're good to me."

Heat rose on Chen Wang's face again, and he drank a sip of water as if to hide it.

After finishing the meal, Yu Zhi was about to check out on her laptop to pay the bill, but she discovered that Chen Wang had already paid.

"How did you pay?" She looked at him disapprovingly.

This meal costs thousands of star coins, and Chen Wang was not even willing to spend the money to go to the medical room when he was injured.

"I have money." Chen Wang said seriously.

Ever since that man died two years ago, he has been saving rapidly by helping Brother Wang modify mechas, and now he has over a million.

I'm just used to being frugal and don't want to spend money on myself, but for Yu Zhi...

He did it willingly.

After taking a short nap in the VIP lounge, Yu Zhi felt refreshed again.

"Hmm... let's go to Xuanwu District!" She pointed to the location in the upper left corner of the map, adjacent to the Qinglong area where they were now.

The projects in Xuanwu District don't seem as exciting as those in Qinglong District, but that's only physically - the mental thrill is even greater.

Yu Zhi was excited to visit this naked-eye holographic haunted house called "Primitive Land".

Looking at this ordinary name, it shouldn't be too scary.

Chen Wang had heard of the reputation of this haunted house, but seeing that Yu Zhi seemed very interested, he thought she was not afraid of these things, so he did not mention it.

However...Yu Zhi is the type who is addicted to being a loser.

In her previous life, she loved playing in all kinds of haunted houses and escape rooms, and she insisted on playing scary ones, but she would immediately become timid after entering, and she could even be so weak in the legs that she could only act as a pendant the whole time.

The background of "The Primitive Land" is on a deserted primitive island, where tourists act as the protagonists and go in to explore the environment.

In order to ensure a better travel experience, the staff will let each team of tourists enter separately. The space inside is large and the sound insulation is good, so you will basically not feel the presence of other people.

When Yu Zhi went in, she didn't realize what she was about to face.

"Wow, it's so real." Yu Zhi walked slowly, looking at the primitive island environment projected around him.

Of course, as a veteran who was experienced in being frightened, she stayed close to Shen Wang with great caution.

The ambient sound gradually quieted down and the sky darkened. Yu Zhi nervously grasped Chen Wang's arm.

There was a dense jungle ahead, and the view was completely blocked by plants as tall as a person, but they had to pass through this road.

"I... I'm a little scared..." she stammered.

Chen Wang's comfort was also very straight: "It's okay, it's all fake."

What else can he do? Since he chose to play, Yu Zhi could only bite the bullet and move forward.

As she expected, as soon as she entered the dense forest, the way behind her was mysteriously blocked, and a rustling sound came from the front.

A terrifying roar was heard, and the plants in front were suddenly pushed aside, and a human-like monster with blood dripping and flesh rolling out rushed out.

Yu Zhi screamed and jumped up, hanging on Chen Wang, then buried her head in his chest with her eyes closed, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

Chen Wang was also frightened, but not by the monster, but by Yu Zhi in his arms.

She...she actually threw herself completely into his arms...

Yu Zhi was genuinely frightened and didn't consider her image at all. She was now buried in Shen Wang's arms in a koala-like hug.

In order to prevent her from falling, Chen Wang could only place one arm horizontally under her hips and stroke her back with the other hand to give her a greater sense of security.

"It's okay, it's okay," he coaxed patiently, "If you're scared, I'll just carry you like this."

Yu Zhi hummed in a depressed tone, her face flushed a little.

She was obviously eager to play this, but when she came in, she was scared to death.

Chen Wang held her in his arms, ignoring all the terrifying monsters and scenes that appeared along the way.

Yu Zhi nestled in his arms and felt a little less scared. She could even lie on his shoulder and secretly squint her eyes to observe the surrounding situation.

But even so, he was frightened several times by the holographic monsters that appeared close to his face, and could only shrink back timidly.

After walking like this for about ten minutes, it finally ended.

Yu Zhi was still like an ostrich, lying in his arms and refusing to get down.

She was still feeling weak. She had already lost face in this project, so this little bit didn't matter.

Chen Wang laughed softly. Of course he was happy to hold her like this all the time. The girl's weight was as light as a feather to him. He wouldn't feel tired even if he held her for a whole day.

"Don't laugh at me." Yu Zhi buried her head in his chest, her voice muffled and angry like a little kitten.

"I'm not laughing at you," Chen Wang coaxed good-naturedly, "I'm just having fun."

Practice makes perfect, and now he can at least move around freely while holding Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi stayed for a while before coming down.

This time it was Chen Wang's turn to look at her rosy face, and his heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

One of Yu Zhi's strengths is that he is thick-skinned. After a while, he no longer cared about the embarrassing situation.

The two passed by a nearby gift shop, where the various animal headdresses were very realistic and cute.

"Go and try it!" Yu Zhi's eyes lit up, and he pulled Chen Wang inside.

Well, Chen Wang has silver hair, so he should look good with these white cat ears...

The silver horn seems to be more suitable?

And the light grey chunky puppy ears are so cute too!

Yu Zhi was in a dilemma of making a decision.
