Chapter 119 Activity Impact
——Ahhh, so beautiful, like a mythical creature!
——If its limbs were shorter, its body was longer and thinner, and it had two more whiskers around its mouth, it would really be a dragon!
——When I was a kid, I watched TV dramas and was so envious of the protagonists riding dragons. Now that there are no real dragons, riding a ground dragon wouldn’t be bad either!
——Curious, can the fantasy park really be restored?
The park's technology is incredible. The Dryad, Dwarf, Red-Eyed Elf, and Atalan were all incredibly well-made, so I'm sure this one will be just as recreated. Ahhh, just thinking about the future mounts is so exciting I can't sleep tonight!
Can you reveal the requirements for obtaining the mount? Do I have to catch it myself like I do with the Red-Eye Pokémon? Since the Earth Dragon is so big, it should be easier to catch than the Red-Eye Pokémon!
—Those who have caught Red-Eye Pokémon countless times say that even a Red-Eye Pokémon is so hard to catch in Fantasy Paradise, how could they just give us such a cool mount? We might even have to buy it.
—— I support spending money to buy it. I have money, I am willing to buy it! I can spend a thousand!
——I’ll give you two thousand!
——Five thousand!
--Please, can everyone stop rolling around? Since this is all just a dream, of course we should be bolder. I think we should get the Earth Dragon for free with a ticket. Director, did you see that? If you know what's good for you, just do what I say and don't make me kneel down and beg you. Doghead jpg
This time, Fantasy Park was clearly planning something big. Not only did they launch a prop recycling system in the park mall and open a mount system, they also held an event where you could win big prizes by watching the live broadcast. Money was also being spent lavishly, which naturally triggered unprecedented popularity. For three consecutive days, the top ten hot searches were all related to Fantasy Park. Many people who were not originally interested in the "Internet celebrity" park were also attracted by the prop cash recycling and the live broadcast lottery content.

Xu Huilan, a woman with little education, left behind two children after her husband's unexpected death. She had to pay the mortgage and earn enough to support three children, working tirelessly every day but still failing to save. Both children were in junior high school, and in two years they would have to go to high school. Without free compulsory education, the combined cost of high school tuition, accommodation, and living expenses of 1,000 to 2,000 yuan would be enough to crush her. Every day, she thought about how to find another job to earn more money.
Therefore, although she is also a native of Jinan City, she has never thought about going to the theme park.
The two children are also sensible. Although almost all their classmates are discussing going to the amusement park, they always read and study quietly on the side. When they get home, they never pester their parents to go to the amusement park like other children.
After work that day, she dragged her tired body home and saw her neighbor Aunt Liu waiting for her at the door.
Aunt Liu lives upstairs from her house. She used to take care of four children every day and looked lifeless every day. Ever since she stopped taking care of the children, she has become much more energetic and looks much younger than before. She is a kind-hearted old woman and is very caring towards Xu Huilan's family. Sometimes when Xu Huilan works too late, Aunt Liu will call her two children to her house for dinner. Xu Huilan wanted to give her money several times, but Aunt Liu refused. She just said to keep it with Xu Huilan first and return it to her when her two children grow up and can earn money.
Xu Huilan herself had a hard life and was unable to repay the kindness, so she could only silently remember this kindness in her heart. Seeing Aunt Liu waiting at her door, Xu Huilan walked over and invited her into her home.
Aunt Liu's husband passed away early, and she also raised two sons alone when she was young. Therefore, she has always felt a sense of sympathy for Xu Huilan. Now that good news has come, she hurried to inform Xu Huilan. Without even having time to sit down, she said, "Hey, I've been waiting for you at your door today because I have good news to tell you. You don't have to work multiple jobs every day. It would be great to have time to go to the park and fight monsters!"
Xu Huilan was stunned and had no idea what she was saying.
Aunt Liu, knowing she had never been to the park, told her about it and its recent events. "You work three jobs a day. Helping out at the breakfast shop from six to nine in the morning, then rushing off to the restaurant to wash dishes before ten, then working at the market until nine in the evening, and then back home doing handicrafts. You work until midnight every day. How can your body handle that? Look at you, you're as thin as a stick."
But if there were any other way, why would Xu Huilan have to torment herself so much? "I have to save for my two children's tuition and materials..." Life requires money everywhere, and every little bit counts. With both children still growing up, Xu Huilan would rather suffer a loss than let them go hungry or unclothed.
Aunt Liu: "I know what you're thinking. I went through the same thing. Do you think I, Liu Meifen, would give you bad advice?"
Of course, Xu Huilan didn't think so. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I don't know how long this activity at the park will be useful. I'd better work steadily!"
Aunt Liu took out her phone and pointed it at her, saying, "Look at what it says. It's valid long-term. Lots of people are rushing to the park to fight monsters right now! If you don't seize this great opportunity, you'll be toiling for the rest of your life!"
Aunt Liu didn't know how to use a phone before, but she learned a lot from the older sisters. She took out the theme park app and showed it to her, "Look, I made 10,000 yuan just from selling props in the past two days!"
Xu Huilan's eyes widened as she listened to Aunt Liu's analysis. "You only have a permanent job right now, butchering fish at the market. You can earn three thousand yuan a month. You can do that. You can quit the others. Take advantage of this time to buy an annual pass and go monster hunting every day. My older sisters have calculated that the fastest way to kill monsters is at the Fantasy Haunted House, where you can kill monsters more than ten times a day. Even if you kill monsters ten times! Even if you have the worst luck, you can still get a level 1 item as a guarantee. You can exchange a level 1 item for five hundred yuan if you recycle it at the theme park mall! Think about it, if you work like this for a day, won't you have already earned back the money you spent on the annual pass?"
"If you work a few more days and buy two more annual passes, your two kids can go to the park too. Won't they be laughed at by their classmates?"
"Think about it, five hundred yuan a day is fifteen thousand yuan a month. Don't even mention that the park is incredibly wealthy and doesn't keep its promises. Even if the park closes in a few months, you'll still be making tens of thousands. Isn't that better than those odd jobs you do? Besides, those odd jobs you do are everywhere you look. They're not good jobs, so why worry about not being able to find them in the future?"
After hearing Aunt Liu’s analysis, Xu Huilan’s eyes gradually brightened up, but she had never been to the theme park. Could she really do it?
Aunt Liu said, "You work in the market killing fish every day. You have a lot of strength. You must be much better at fighting monsters than an old woman like me."
Xu Huilan was persuaded by Aunt Liu and immediately agreed to give it a try tomorrow. Before leaving, Aunt Liu told her that the amusement park would be broadcasting live tomorrow, so she should remember to turn on the TV at home and watch it, maybe she could win a prize!
There are many people like Xu Huilan who are tempted by the money-making power of the theme park. In the eyes of most ordinary people, the Fantasy Park is fun and fantastic, but they also have to live and work. Even if they have an annual pass, it is impossible to go to the park often. But if they can make some money by the way, many people will flock to it.
The park app was launched on the 20th, and the park tickets were sold out two hours earlier than usual that day. After the news spread over the next two days, the park tickets were sold out even faster, and they were almost all sold out before 10 o'clock in the morning.
The grand occasion of Fantasy Park also "alarmed" CCTV. CCTV broadcast the interview of Chi Yizhen by Jinan City TV Station for the first time, almost openly announcing its support for Fantasy Park.
During the interview, reporter Fang Jiu asked questions that were of primary concern to the public. First, would the park's financial resources be sufficient to sustain the situation? Would the park secretly manipulate item drop rates for profit? Second, if this continued, would many people, especially those in Jin'an City, abandon their jobs to go to the park to fight monsters, impacting the real economy and bringing the city's operations to a standstill?
In the video, the gentle-looking Director Chi didn't brush off the questions, but answered them earnestly. "First of all, regarding the park's financial issues, I've already stated in a dynamic post that the park's current revenue is sufficient to keep the park mall model running permanently. You don't have to worry about me lowering the item drop rate. In fact, the item drop rate has remained unchanged since the park opened, and it won't change in the future. But I can't guarantee luck. It's like playing a card game. Some people are more lucky and some are not. This is a personal factor, and I can't change it."
"Second question, I think the reporter is joking. Jinan City alone has a population of several million, but Fantasy Park currently only has a capacity of 30,000 visitors. Oh, and with the event starting tomorrow, ticket sales will increase to 40,000. But compared to the entire city's population, this is just a drop in the bucket. It won't affect the city's operations at all, not to mention that many of these visitors are from other places."
"My team and I anticipated this situation would arise after the theme park mall launched, so we rushed to launch the app before the event. It includes an advance ticket booking feature, similar to how train and high-speed rail tickets are booked. Visitors can purchase tickets up to 15 days in advance, without having to worry about not being able to buy tickets after traveling all the way to the theme park. This way, everyone can plan their time more efficiently and have a great time..."
There is still a long part in the interview video, but netizens are not in the mood to watch it.
——To be honest, I have been struggling these past two days over whether or not to sell the last item. The intelligent combat power analysis system has been reminding me not to sell it. Now that the director has so generously promised that the theme park mall can operate forever, I can rest assured to keep the item.
——Although the director of the park is very thoughtful, I must say that many people will directly purchase annual passes. In this way, they can enter the park every day, which is equivalent to occupying a ticket every day. The others who can’t buy tickets will feel so pitiful!
——Hahaha, you're overthinking it. Now annual passes have to be booked in advance on the park app. In order to grab tickets, I have already installed a network cable with hundreds of megabytes of bandwidth. I don't believe that my network speed can't be slower than others every day.
——Yes, even if he can go to the theme park every day, the drop rate of props is there. Even the lucky ones will run out of luck one day. When they find that the income from getting props is not as good as that from a proper job, of course they will reduce the frequency of their visits!
——It’s over. Before the theme park app was launched, locals only needed to enter the theme park one step earlier than foreign tourists to win. Now the locals have to compete with people from all over the country. How can they win?
—Think positively, the locals might be tired of playing, so they’ve left the spots for us. (﹃)
——Local people said that what was said above was nonsense and it was absolutely impossible!
At the same time, Chi Yizhen was reading the comments in the park. As he was reading, he thought, no, you have missed a possibility. Although I, the director, will not secretly change the drop rate, I will secretly change the probability of you buying tickets!

***
On October 23rd, Frost Descent, a new event in Fantasy Park begins.
Xia Qingqing used up the annual leave she had saved up from working for several years and arrived in Jinan City before seven in the morning.
As soon as she got off the high-speed train, she was shocked by the huge crowds of people in front of her.
The high-speed rail station and the train station in Jinan City are almost connected. It is outrageous enough that the high-speed rail is crowded with people, but I didn’t expect that the train station is also full of people. The advertising space in the lobby of the high-speed rail station, which used to be full of celebrity posters, is now a fantasy park.
