Chapter 35 Water Park (View High-Resolution Footage)
Upon returning home, Lin Nanxing immediately placed the four-leaf clover next to the incubator.
The tender green leaves swayed in the wind, and tiny specks of green light, barely visible to the naked eye, began to appear in the air.
When evening came, after washing up and lying in bed, Lin Nanxing finally remembered that four unfamiliar high-level players had entered his territory, and he didn't know what the situation was.
[Host, the territory map function allows you to view the real-time movements of all personnel] the system quietly reminds you, [You seem to always forget my existence].
It's not a good thing that the host is too independent of the system; He felt somewhat frustrated.
"Oh right, there's this function too." Lin Nanxing slapped his forehead and quickly brought up the system panel.
The virtual map popped up, still shrouded in mist, but the illuminated area centered on Star Territory had expanded considerably, thanks to Big Mouth's explorations over the past few days.
At this moment, the Star Territory was glowing with yellow light. Inside the spherical glass dome, there was a small yellow light bulb every ten meters, which were streetlights that Lin Nanxing had installed some time ago.
The brightness of the small light bulbs automatically adjusted according to the movement of the players still walking outside, blinking on and off, which was quite pretty.
Lin Nanxing zoomed in with two fingers, instantly revealing high-definition details of the territory's interior.
The swimming pool is a four-square blue pool, the dormitory buildings are two four-story matchbox houses, the roof of the milk tea shop is painted with simple lemons, and the farmland is ten brown squares.
Around the farmland, coriander spirits transformed into miniature coriander leaves, their leaves trembling as they surveyed the fields, creating an overall cartoonish and anime-like effect.
Before he knew it, the territory was becoming more and more presentable, and Lin Nanxing nodded in satisfaction.
They zoomed in again, entering the apartment building.
A tiny figure with a round head and a stick-like body lay on the bed, her hand raised in mid-air, examining something—it was herself.
Lin Nanxing swayed left and right, and the stick figure also shook its head. Lin Nanxing found it interesting and kept switching the screen, but then her hand slipped and the interface switched to the next room.
A dark gray stick figure is standing under the showerhead. The next second, the pixelated figure takes off its shirt, and the system even thoughtfully adds highlights to the simple abs.
[Would you like to view the high-definition version?]
【whether】
Lin Nanxing: "..." Her finger trembled, and she almost chose "yes".
"System, what kind of function is this? I don't have a penchant for peeping at other people taking a shower!" Lin Nanxing said through gritted teeth.
As soon as the words were spoken, a notification popped up at the bottom of the map:
[Do you want to enable "Privacy Blocking" for a specific area?]
【whether】
Lin Nanxing quickly selected "Yes," and the gray stick figure was immediately covered by a mosaic cloud, leaving only the bubble on its head visible [Blocked - Taking a Shower].
Lin Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief, but involuntarily, some inappropriate images for children came to mind.
Lin Nanxing had actually seen Shu Yi's physique before. Although he had only seen him once, he had to admit that his upper body was perfect. In addition to having eight-pack abs and a V-line, even his pectoral muscles were of moderate thickness. He wondered what it would feel like to touch them.
"!!... Stop it! Lin Nanxing, what are you thinking?!"
Realizing what she was thinking, Lin Nanxing leaped into the blankets, making a loud noise that startled Clover, who was resting nearby, who thought something dangerous had happened.
Looking around, it only saw a raised area on the bed, which belonged to its owner; otherwise, there was no danger.
Seeing this, Clover started to let her mind wander again.
The air inside the blanket was so thin that Lin Nanxing had to stick her head out for air after less than five minutes.
Thanks to holding her breath for five minutes, she was finally able to clear her mind of all distracting thoughts.
Looking at the map again, Lin Nanxing didn't wander around this time. He went straight into the dormitory building. The four high-level players hadn't left. They had spent a lot of money to buy four places in the Star Territory.
The information for the four individuals is laid out in order.
[Hu Ba: Male, Lv55, Tank, younger brother of the mayor of Chixia Town]
Wei Feiyang: Male, Lv58, Assassin, from Fuguang Town
Wang Qian: Female, Lv50, Priest, from Fuguang Town
[Si Hao: Male, Lv51, Swordsman, from Lindan Town]
Lin Nanxing didn't expect anything from the younger brother of the mayor of Chixia Town; her target was Wang Qian.
As the only woman among them, and having witnessed firsthand how the territory treated those who bullied girls, Lin Nanxing, being a girl herself, was confident she would stay.
If she stays, perhaps Wei Feiyang, who lives in the same town, will also stay.
Lost in thought, Lin Nanxing fell into a deep sleep.
[Game date: October 6, 2010, 9:10 AM, Autumn, Sunny]
The morning sun pierced through the thin mist and shone on the newly renovated building.
After carefully checking the last facility, Lin Qiulan posted the brand-new "Theme Park Guide" on the notice board at the entrance.
The announcement was marked in bold, colored font:
[Newly upgraded! Four themed areas are now open]
1. High-Speed Slide Area (New)
2. Dreamy Children's Paradise (New)
3. Four standard swimming pool areas (upgraded)
Note: An anti-harassment monitoring system has been added to the venue to automatically identify inappropriate behavior. Those who commit serious offenses will be blacklisted and prohibited from entering.
The upgraded swimming pool has also been divided into multiple functional areas.
The children's water play area is only half a meter deep and is equipped with a mini slide; the family leisure area is one meter deep, suitable for parent-child interaction; the adult swimming area is divided into shallow and deep water areas, greatly increasing the playability.
Even before the park opened, a long queue had already formed, winding around twice, at the entrance.
Within the group, young people dressed in light clothing chatted and joked, and many demon-hunting teams were exchanging experiences. The most eye-catching were the children born after the apocalypse.
They clung to the railing, their little faces pressed against the glass, their eyes glued to the colorful amusement facilities inside.
After the swimming pool was upgraded into a water park, the entire exterior wall was renovated into a glass wall, and the first floor is a children's playground.
"Mom, aren't we going to play in the water today? Why aren't we going in?" Ten-year-old Zhu Quan stood on tiptoe, looking at the thronging crowd with a puzzled expression.
Although it had only been three days since her last time playing in the water, and the week that her mother and she had agreed upon had come early, Zhu Quan was still eager to get into the water. She didn't understand why they had to wait outside.
"Wait a little longer, Quan Quan, there are too many people inside, it's not our turn yet." Tan Ya Shao gently tidied her daughter's hair, which was ruffled by the morning breeze. "How about Mommy takes you to ride the slide later?"
Zhu Quan was born on the day the apocalypse came. When the apocalypse arrived, Zhu Quan's father died at the hands of monsters while protecting her and her mother. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhu Quan's mother, Tan Yashao, became a player, and the mother and daughter were able to survive.
Over the past decade, Tan Yashao has always been busy working to provide a better life for Zhu Quan. After she broke through level 50, her daughter moved into the best room in town, but her life was still confined to that small space.
Until a month ago, a swimming pool opened outside the town, and there was even a special escort team available for a fee, which gave Zhu Quancai the opportunity to go out and have fun.
Tan Ya Shao originally planned to bring her daughter to the Star Territory once a week, but after she returned from hunting demons last night, she heard that the swimming pool in the territory was going to be transformed into a water park. Quan Quan was also there when others mentioned this.
Tanya Shao felt heartbroken when her daughter asked her curiously what a water park was. Children born in the apocalypse live in a town with no entertainment space or recreational facilities.
They didn't even know what a water park was.
So she changed her plans that very night and set off from town with Quan Quan early this morning. Clearly, many parents shared the same idea.
The line moved slowly, and Zhu Quan counted the heads in front of her for an hour before it was finally their turn.
"Madam, here are your two wristbands." The receptionist handed over the two wristbands with a friendly smile. "The one-hour timer has started. Have a great time."
"
As soon as Tan Yashao received her electronic bracelet, Zhu Quan grabbed her clothes and rushed towards the children's area: "Mom, there are elephants from the storybooks over there!"
Tan Yashao stumbled as she was pulled along. Grabbing her excited daughter, she turned to try and negotiate with the receptionist, "Could we extend the time a bit? An hour is too short."
Lin Qiulan's smile remained unchanged, but she sighed inwardly. She had heard similar words countless times that morning, and the answer was, of course, no.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, today is the first day of operation for the water park. Due to the large number of people, we are offering a limited-time offer for today so that most people can enjoy the park. Starting tomorrow, we will resume the normal consumption mode."
Having said that, Tan Yashao didn't press the matter further. She nodded understandingly, picked up her daughter, and went to the changing room.
When Tanya Shao and her daughter came out of the changing room, the children's area had already become a sea of joy.
Following her previous experiences, Zhu Quan initially only dared to linger in the shallow water, but she was quickly infected by the joyful atmosphere and, encouraged by her mother, joined the children in their water fight.
The little boy next to him had just slid down when he was "ambushed" by a jet of water splashed up by his companion. He was stunned for a second, but he wasn't angry. He turned around and started giggling.
He stretched out his chubby little hands, scooped up a handful of water, and splashed it all over Zhu Quan, who had just come over. Zhu Quan was not to be outdone and scooped up even bigger splashes of water in return. The two children instantly started playing around.
The children were playing around, while Tan Ya Shao floated in the water as if she were soaking in a hot spring, keeping an eye on Quan Quan out of the corner of her eye.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhu Quan reluctantly said goodbye to his new friends.
In the shower, Tan Yashao was rinsing her daughter when she suddenly asked, "Mom, why can't we live here?"
Tanya paused for a second as she turned off the tap, then said calmly, "Does Quan Quan think this place is nice?"
“Yes, Brother Zhou said they live here and can come here to play every day. I also want to play with Brother Zhou. He said he has all kinds of vegetables to eat every day.”
Seeing his mother's hesitant expression, the clever Zhu Quan continued, "I heard from Brother Zhou that they are a group of children who stay together during the day, and different parents watch over them every day, so it's very safe."
Although ten-year-old Zhu Quan had never been to school, she understood everything she needed to know. She knew her mother was concerned about her safety, but she was so clever that she had already found out.
Tan Yashao immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that someone had set up a daycare center in the Star Territory, which was indeed a good idea.
With someone looking after Quan Quan, she can go out to hunt demons with peace of mind.
Seeing his mother's expression soften, Zhu Quan immediately pressed his advantage: "Mom, let's move here, okay? Little Zhou said he doesn't have to wear protective clothing anymore and he sleeps very comfortably every day. I also want to sleep without protective clothing."
