Chapter 137
Walking in the jungle adventure area, you can hear discussions everywhere.
The influence of yesterday's rumors is still there, and when tourists are sightseeing, they can't help but look for the "traces" left by the stone statue's arrival.
Jiang Qing saw more than one group of players pointing at the fallen leaves in the jungle in the park and whispering.
"Look, this is the branch that was knocked down by the giant when he walked over it. Look carefully, only the branches nearby are broken."
"If you brush aside the fallen leaves on the ground, you can still see the huge footprints it left behind. They are two or three meters long and half a meter deep. You can't even fill half of them if you lie down in them."
"Do you think this stone statue will suddenly move?"
Only one night had passed, and the rumor had been supplemented with many more details thanks to the imaginations of the players, which shows how successful the boss's propaganda was.
After checking in on a few more items, they came to the restaurant in the park.
Even the restaurant here is in primitive tribal style. The table tops are made of giant logs cut in half, the roof is covered with thick hay, and even the plank roads and trees along the way are decorated with banyan tree branches and vines, creating a full atmosphere.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, they smelled a savage aroma. In the open kitchen in the center, several chefs, wearing feather ornaments on their heads and pendants made of monster teeth around their necks, were skillfully processing the ingredients.
There were large pieces of grilled meat lying on the grill pan, sizzling with oil. Just one look at it made my mouth water.
"What they sell here is actually barbecue!" said the swordsman player in the team in surprise.
There were already a few players seated around. One of them took the bones on both sides and bit them hard. The chef hired by Shu Mo has superb skills. The heat is just right when grilling the meat. The skin is crispy and charred, and the gravy is locked inside, so it is not dry or choking at all.
The brown sauce stained the side of his face, but the player ignored it and just focused on eating with relish. His unrestrained eating style made everyone else hungry.
A few people had not eaten enough in the morning and had been walking around the park playing games. Now their stomachs were really empty, so they went over and asked for one.
Jiang Qing had breakfast before going out in the morning, but he was not hungry, so he stayed there to occupy a table.
"Don't you want to eat?" Xu Ruixi asked her.
"I'm not hungry, just a little thirsty."
It has been many years since I had such fun. Jiang Qing had been immersed in the project, laughing and shouting. Now that he stopped to rest, he felt his throat was a little dry. And after walking so much, I actually felt a little dry.
It's cool outside, but it's warm inside. The water droplets on the swimsuit dried up quickly, sticking to the body and making it look even more stuffy.
Jiang Qing wanted to find some water to drink in his backpack, but suddenly a glass appeared in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was filled with freshly squeezed watermelon juice. There are several large pieces of ice floating on the surface, which keeps it at an icy temperature. When you put your hand on it, the heat is immediately relieved.
Xu Ruixi was very proud. "Didn't I go out late this morning? Actually, it was because I was making watermelon juice at home."
As the plantation expanded, the variety of crops also increased, and now in addition to the original few, there are also eggplants, cabbages, pumpkins, and watermelons.
There are more fresh fruits and vegetables on players’ tables, and more recipes can be unlocked.
Xu Ruixi brought back a big watermelon yesterday. She carefully selected the watermelon when buying it. The watermelon she chose had clear and evenly distributed dark green lines, and the surface was smooth and shiny. It felt heavy in her arms, and she could tell at a glance that it was very sweet.
I was even more convinced when I heard the sound of the flesh and rind breaking when I cut it with a knife.
When squeezing the juice, she deliberately picked out the watermelon seeds. The squeezed watermelon juice did not have a trace of impurities, only a layer of light pink foam floating on the surface, which made it appear more layered.
Jiang Qing recalled the conversation she had with the staff when she bought the ticket just now, and then she understood why she asked that question just now.
The other people just happened to come back at this time, and each of them got a large cup. They were so happy that they kept thanking him.
Jiang Qing happily picked up the cup and drank most of it in one breath. The cold liquid flows down the throat, refreshing and quenching the thirst, which is extremely refreshing.
The people nearby looked at them envious and ran over to ask them where they bought it. After learning that they made it themselves, they went back with regret. Jiang Qing wiped the corner of her mouth. Xu Ruixi's action reminded her that the supermarket now has so much supplies, she could buy more fresh fruits and vegetables, slice tomatoes, add lettuce and eggs, and make some sandwiches with toast from the bakery, and take time to organize a team to have a picnic by the lake.
Jiang Qing finished drinking the watermelon juice while thinking, and suddenly he was stunned.
When did I become so leisurely? I still want to go camping.
Listening to the discussions of people passing by, most of them are discussing where to go next, which facility they saw on the road is very exciting, which restaurant they must check in, etc. The topics of leveling, fighting and survival that I used to hear most often are no longer heard at all.
This amusement park seems to have a kind of magic that allows people to temporarily put aside the troubles of reality and immerse themselves in it completely.
A trace of emotion flashed through her heart. She wrapped the bath towel around herself and stood up energetically.
"let's go."
*
The signature attraction of the Underwater Kingdom is located on the palace, a long water slide. Because the slide is long and the descent speed is fast, it is particularly thrilling. The front half of the slide is still open to the sky, while the back half goes directly into the seabed, where you can glimpse the scenery under the artificial lake through a transparent underwater tunnel.
"Please maintain this posture during the descent and do not move to avoid injury."
"If you are brave enough, you can open your eyes and look to both sides while sliding down. You may find something unexpected."
When it was Jiang Qing's turn, the staff member reminded him of the precautions and then said something mysteriously.
Any unexpected surprises? Jiang Qing lay down thoughtfully.
There is a shallow current on the slide, waves brushing across her body, reducing friction while protecting her from injury during the slide. The employees saw that she was ready. After counting down, Jiang Qing suddenly felt her body lighten and she slid down at high speed.
She couldn't help but let out a small cry of surprise. The tall coconut trees on both sides of the building flashed by in her peripheral vision, and suddenly everything was plunged into darkness.
Almost underwater?
She continued to charge forward, trying to keep her eyes open. In the darkness, the only sound you could hear was the rushing water. Gradually, a dim light appeared ahead.
The sunlight cast into the deep artificial lake, reflecting a swaying water ripple, which was reflected in the glass tunnel in front of her. The slope of the slide became gentler here and the speed also slowed down. Jiang Qing slid through the bright and dark light and shadows. Without looking up, he could see the clear blue lake water beside him and the snow-white sand below.
Jiang Qing saw a huge building complex on the sand and rocks. After a long time, this sunken ancient kingdom has become an empty ghost town with only colorful little fish swimming around.
Although he knew that all this was just the scenery of the park, Jiang Qing still couldn't help but hold his breath. It was as if she was really in an isolated underwater world, afraid of disturbing anything.
The water was rippling, but other than that, everything was quiet.
She was so fascinated by the sight that when she was about to leave this slide, the surrounding lake water suddenly began to boil, as if the fish had encountered something terrifying. The fish scattered in all directions as if they were running for their lives, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Before Jiang Qing had time to wonder, he felt the light in his peripheral vision dim.
It was as if something huge was passing overhead, its body blocking the light and casting a fleeting black shadow on the transparent slide in front of her eyes.
Jiang Qing: “……???”
Is she dazzled?
Her heart suddenly rose in her chest, and she felt as if she had seen something, but when she looked up, the lake was as calm as ever.
Not far away, seaweed swayed on the broken stone pillars.
The only difference is that the fish are gone.
...Jiang Qing remained there until he was helped up by the staff waiting below.
Falling back into the lively atmosphere of the park and leaving the quiet underwater environment just now, she felt a little creepy belatedly.
She shuddered.
Could there really be sea monsters hiding in this sunken underwater kingdom? ?
…
Soon, word spread that some mysterious giant beast had been accidentally sighted while riding the Atlantis underwater slide.
Some people, like Jiang Qing, saw black shadows, while others said they saw with their own eyes the ruins on the seabed shaking faintly, sand and rocks flying, and the sea water being stirred up.
Some players didn't believe it, and they argued, "Didn't you see the fish get scared? Unless there was a monster, how could they suddenly scatter?"
In short, people said all kinds of things, but no one saw the monster's true form.
There was no way. The water slide was simply going too fast. The actual time I stayed in it was probably no more than ten seconds. There was no time to see anything clearly.
Just for this reason, many people go to watch it three or four times.
Everyone wants to be the first person to see the true form of a monster, not only to satisfy their own curiosity, but also to save face when they can tell others about it.
Due to this mentality, there was a long queue for the water slide starting that afternoon.
…
Although only a portion of the underwater ruins can be seen through the water slide, the system's architecture is very comprehensive. If players can take a closer look, they will find that even the patterns on the stone pillars are made in an extremely detailed manner. Some statues of gods, most of which are sunk to the bottom of the sea or even missing arms and legs, also have lifelike skin texture and muscle movements, which are not done casually at all.
A huge tentacle monster was moving slowly between the buildings.
To them, this ancient city under the sea was no different from the cities on land, except that it was a little old. The stone bricks on the ground were loose and one corner was lifted up, so they could easily trip over it.
It walked very carefully and turned a corner, and saw a door suddenly appearing in the center of the ancient Greek-style building.
There was a sign on the door that said "Staff Lounge".
The tentacle monster looked furtively to the side, then extended a pink tentacle tip, gently wrapped around the round metal handle, and turned it forcefully.
The door creaked open, revealing a transparent membrane that separated the lake outside. The tentacle monster's huge body changed little by little, and finally turned back into an ordinary-looking man wearing a pink employee uniform, who stepped in lightly.
Shu Mo was sitting on the sofa in the lounge drinking tea. Seeing him come back, he poured him a cup as well. "How is it going? Are you adapting to your first day at work?"
"It's a bit troublesome to adapt, but I have to find a way to avoid being seen by tourists." The man wiped the water from his forehead and said gratefully, "Thank you, boss."
Shu Mo sighed, "There's nothing I can do. This is the nature of this job. I have to protect the dreams of tourists."
Think about amusement parks in the past, weren’t there a lot of this type of staff? Play various types of dolls or characters and interact with players.
Although the sea monster actor she found is a real sea monster...
Really, I play myself.
"Fortunately, there are some C-rank monsters to help me share the burden." The man took a sip of water and said, "Sometimes I don't have to do it myself, just let them go."
"Oh, you are talking about those fish actors in the atmosphere group, right?" Shu Mo thought for a moment.
The monsters working in the underwater kingdom are not only this tentacle monster, but also some weak C-level monsters he brought with him. They mixed in with the schools of fish released by Shu Mo and acted as managers.
The specific job content is to organize other fish loudly every once in a while when tourists pass through the underwater slide...
one two three--
run!
Then all the fish scattered.
He ran breathlessly to a place where the players could not see him, leaving the tourists shivering alone.
According to the feedback from these monsters, the work content is quite easy and most of the time you just need to wander around. The only drawback is that it is a bit physically demanding.
Shu Mo plans to introduce a shift system for them after a while.
She sat for a while, and seeing that everything was running normally, she patted his shoulder with confidence, "Take a rest, don't rush out, I still have to rush to the next park to inspect the work..."
