Chapter 158 Sky Oceanarium 1
Qian Yu's family got up before seven in the morning of the winter solstice. They used to be from Jin'an City, but later Qian Yu's parents moved to the provincial capital of Yangcheng. He grew up in Yangcheng since he was a child, and only during the holidays would he follow his parents to Jin'an City to visit his aunt's family who lived there.
Before, his sister Qian Panpan had some problems and had been depressed, so his cousin Meng Linlin took her to the Fantasy Park to play for a few days. After she came back, she was back to her old self. The Qian family was very happy, so they brought their whole family to the park to play for a few days, and then their family was completely captivated by it.
In order to catch the opening of the Sky Aquarium this time, their family arrived in Jinan City two days in advance. Fortunately, the winter solstice was not a weekend, so they all got tickets. However, they were unlucky and could not book a room in the hot spring center. They could not even book a hotel near Taoyuan Street, so they had to stay in a hotel in the next district.
"Honey, wake up! There's a bus from this hotel that goes directly to the theme park. Get up, wash up, and have breakfast, or you'll miss the 8 o'clock bus."
Qian Yu's wife Song Hui got up in a daze after hearing this, and subconsciously wanted to check the crib. After a moment of confusion, she remembered that there was no crib for babies in the hotel, and Qian Yu had already picked up the baby.
This time, their parents and younger sister couldn't come because they didn't have vacation time, so Qian Yu and his wife and their family of three came to visit. Their baby, a little princess who was almost two years old and could already walk, woke up earlier than her parents did. When Qian Yu picked her up, she immediately reached out to pull at her father's hair, shouting, "Daddy, pig head!"
Qian Yu protested, "How can you say that about Dad? Even if he's a pig head, Dad is the cutest pig head."
The baby giggled.
After playing with the baby for a while, Song Hui finished washing and taking care of her skin. The family of three picked up their backpacks and went downstairs to eat. After eating hurriedly without taking a break, they hurriedly got on the bus.
This bus is already full of tourists, all going to Fantasy Park.
Halfway through the drive, Song Hui suddenly called out, "Oh no! I forgot to bring diapers for the baby!"
Qian Yu: "It's okay. There's a baby room in the park's visitor center. I'll go in and buy some. Bring the milk powder and bottles with you!"
Song Hui rummaged through her backpack and laughed herself, "There's no milk powder, and no milk bottle either."
Qian Yu laughed when he heard it, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you carry the backpack. We could have gone directly to the park to buy it, completely freeing our hands."
They looked at the backpack together and found only a pack of tissues, a cell phone, and a camera. Good thing, at least I didn't forget my phone.
At this moment, a customer in front suddenly shouted, "Hey, driver, this isn't the way to the theme park! It's not even shown on my navigation."
The driver, without even turning around, said, "You're right. A new road has just been built here, and I'm sure it's not in the navigation yet! We can go ten minutes faster this way."
Upon hearing this, the customer fell silent, but the other customers started talking.
"I came here two months ago, and now it feels like a lot of changes have taken place."
"I heard a lot of new roads have been built, and they're also working on an airport! It will be very convenient for us to come here and visit in the future."
"The development of cities has slowed down in recent years. Few cities have changed as much as Jin'an City. If I hadn't been tied to my job, I would have wanted to settle here."
"Yeah, they said they're going to build a subway in the future!"
The driver was right. Taking the new road was indeed much faster. The bus stopped at the entrance of the park twenty minutes early, and Qian Yu and his wife quickly got off the bus with their baby.
Many people in the north think that the south is like spring all year round, but it is not true. Although it does not snow in the south in winter, it is still quite cold, especially early in the morning when the cold wind blows. One tourist said that he felt his nose was frozen red, but this did not offset everyone's enthusiasm for travel.
Qian Yu pulled the baby's little hat, and the couple quickly joined the crowd into the park.
[Ding! Verification passed, please enter the park.]
As soon as I entered the park, a warm breeze blew in my face, and the broadcast above my head just started looping again.
Dear visitors, for your enjoyment, the park has activated the heating service, and the average temperature in the park is around 20 degrees...
Qian Yu and his wife went to the visitor center to buy milk powder and bottles for their baby. Then they heard the staff say, "Hello, we'll take care of your belongings here. You can deposit any extra items with your annual pass or ticket."
The temperature outside the park was about ten degrees today. The couple both wore sweaters and cotton jackets, and the baby was also dressed in many layers. Unexpectedly, the park had a constant temperature service. When they walked from the door to the visitor center, they both sweated, and the baby was writhing with heat. When the staff reminded them, they immediately helped the baby take off two layers of outer clothes. Song Hui found a baby anti-collision cap in the mother and baby room, so she took a anti-collision cap to replace the original thick small hat.
After taking off their cotton-padded jackets, the couple felt at least two pounds lighter. Qian Yu rocked the baby and found it easier to hold. They rented a stroller in the mother and baby room and pushed it towards the Sky Aquarium following the signs.
[…Visitors visiting the Sky Aquarium are requested to avoid crowding and maintain order… If you encounter an emergency, please do not panic and call customer service…]
[Please do not bring children under the age of eight into the abandoned park, viewing corridor, Jasmine Town, Fantasy Haunted House, or church station.]
Dear visitors, children under eight years old can enjoy the following attractions: Tree Spirit Children's Area, Fantasy Ranch, Elf Kitchen, Prank City, and Sky Aquarium.
The last time Qian Yu and Song Hui came here, there was no Sky Aquarium yet, and there were few places to take the children. Now that the aquarium has opened, it is another opportunity to take the baby to visit, and of course they will not miss it.
"I wonder what the aquarium is like?"
“There might be lots of marine animals to see!”
"I heard there's also snorkeling service."
"Really? I can't believe it in such a small place."
The Fantasy Park had obviously planned the route, and all those who took the same route as them were going to the Sky Aquarium. Qian Yu and Song Hui listened to the people around them talking, and their expectations became even higher. After all, the Fantasy Park never disappoints people.
The entrance to the Sky Aquarium is just behind the Fantasy Ranch. When they passed by the Fantasy Ranch, they saw a ground dragon spewing clouds into the air while carrying tourists up layer by layer. The baby in Qian Yu's arms tilted his head back and stared with eyes wide open and mouth wide open, looking as if he had never seen the world before, which made the couple laugh.
To be honest, the last time they came and saw the scene at the Fantasy Ranch, they also looked completely clueless. Fortunately, the baby was too young to laugh at them.
Dear visitors, the Sky Aquarium is located in a special location and requires a ride on the Yunxiao Dragon Car. The Yunxiao Dragon Car ticket is 20 yuan per person. Children under eight years old are charged half price, and children under five years old are free...
"Ah, we still have to take a car, there was no official announcement before!"
"Twenty dollars, that's not bad!"
"There's also an item rental option..."
After passing through the gate next to the Fantasy Ranch, you enter a very large space. A high hemispherical glass roof covers the entire space. You can see the blue sky above through the glass. Several huge characters hang down from the dome - Bus Waiting Station.
Seeing those five words, Song Hui smiled and said, "I feel like I'm waiting for a train at a high-speed rail station."
You know what, the decoration design of this place is indeed a bit like a high-speed rail station. There are high-definition screens playing the park's internal channels, small shops providing drinks and snacks, rows of seats for people to rest, as well as mobile phone charging stations, toilets, etc.
Looking forward in the direction of the flow of people, you can see eight other arched exits in the waiting station, and vaguely see a cart with several seats and a ground dragon pulling the cart in front.
Seeing the iconic shell-blue scales of the ground dragon, Qian Yu exclaimed in surprise: "They really are using ground dragons to pull the cart!"
At this moment, someone in front exclaimed, "Look, look up!"
Qian Yu and his wife looked up subconsciously and opened their eyes wide in surprise.
On the glass dome, there was a person who was obviously a tourist swimming after a fish. When he found someone watching below, the tourist stopped and patted the glass. After staying for a while, he swam away again.
The waiting station instantly became extremely noisy and everyone's emotions became excited.
"Did I see it right just now? Someone swam over my head?"
"Isn't there sky above the glass? How could someone swim across?"
"Isn't that stupid? It must be the oceanarium!"
"You're stupid! That guy wasn't even wearing diving gear, didn't have an oxygen tank, and didn't even have an eye mask. He was swimming so fast. How could he be underwater?"
Everyone's discussion was filled with surprise and excitement. Qian Yu and Song Hui were also full of curiosity. Fortunately, it was their turn soon.
The two paid the fee and rented props on the recommendation of the staff. The props looked quite childish and colorful like children's water guns. Seeing that they had a baby, the staff specially prepared a baby seat and fastened the seat belt. The ground dragon pulling the cart in front snorted and soon started running.
Not long after, Qian Yu and Song Hui felt their eyes brighten, and they left the arched tunnel where they had been waiting for the car and came under the clean sky. What appeared before them was a winding bridge paved with clouds. The ground dragon pulled the car and ran quickly on the cloud bridge. It really seemed like they were flying into the sky in a cloud dragon car.
This fantastic scene made all the tourists exclaim in surprise. Qian Yu and Song Hui were afraid of scaring the baby and didn't dare to laugh loudly at first, but the baby laughed louder than them.
As the Yunxiao Dragon Car continued to move forward, the height they were at was getting higher and higher. Qian Yu glanced down and was a little surprised. This height was at least ten stories high, and they were still rising! How did they do that? It couldn't be dangerous!
Just as Qian Yu was getting worried, the announcement began to play in a loop: [Dear visitors, welcome to the Sky Dragon Ride. This service is provided by the Earth Dragon and the Puff Bird. The park will ensure your safety throughout the ride, so please feel free to enjoy... When you see the dream bubbles next to the Cloud Bridge, please use the prop water gun to shatter them. The number of fragments you obtain will determine your experience at the Sky Aquarium.]
At the same time, bubbles suddenly appeared on both sides of the cloud bridge. They were as big as an adult's fist, with a green light in the center, as beautiful as a gem.
After hearing the broadcast clearly, Qian Yu and Song Hui quickly raised their water guns and aimed at a bubble in front of them. With a sound like breaking glass, a dream bubble was shattered by Qian Yu. The baby sitting between them widened his eyes and giggled.
Qian Yu also laughed, "Baby, watch, daddy will make bubbles for you!" Then there was a burst of gunshots.
The baby seemed to love watching this. He laughed so hard that his eyes almost went blind. The giggles never stopped since they started. It was the first time that Song Hui saw a baby laughing so loudly. Worried that the baby would faint from laughing, the two of them stopped for a while from time to time. However, as soon as they stopped, the baby started dancing and urging them to pop bubbles, so the two of them had to continue.
Unconsciously, the Yunxiao Dragon Car was running higher and higher. Qian Yu looked back from time to time and found that there were many Yunxiao Dragon Cars catching up. Some tourists had rented prop water guns like them and were happily shooting bubbles, while some tourists did not have props and looked at others with envy.
Suddenly, Song Hui cried out, "Look, the bridge ahead is broken!"
Qian Yu was startled and quickly turned around to see that the cloud bridge in front of him was indeed broken. The gap was quite large, at least five or six meters. How could he jump across such a long gap? Was his family going to fall?
Just as the shock and worry were rising, the dragon pulling the car slowed down, raised its head and blew out a long puff of white smoke. The white smoke quickly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, the gap in front was blocked, and the family passed through safely. Qian Yu kept looking back and saw the roller coaster behind pulling tourists through one after another, and he didn't see any problems happening there.
The couple looked at each other and were once again shocked by the technology of the park.
As the altitude increases, the scenery on the cloud bridge becomes more and more beautiful. There are puff birds flying by one after another, carrying flowers and willow branches in their beaks. There are elves with flapping wings gathering on a floating cloud to play. There are also clouds flying around, carrying hot cakes and snacks.
The tourists looked out of curiosity, and the cloud flew over as if it had some kind of induction, and erected a QR code with the words "5 yuan per piece of cake or snack, scan the code to pay" written next to it.
Qian Yu and Song Hui had already passed the end of the cloud bridge and arrived at a place made entirely of clouds. There was a fairytale castle, lush flowers and trees, and a giant panda sitting at a table. It said in a childish voice, "Visitors to the aquarium, please register here. Babies must wear safety harnesses."
Qian Yu and Song Hui were dazzled by what they saw, and it took them a while to react. After they completed the registration, they found that there was no safety rope. Instead, they saw the giant panda in front of them took out a dream bubble from somewhere, pinched it hard, and the bubble turned into a traction rope.
Qian Yu and Song Hui were stunned. The giant panda continued, "You've popped fifty-one bubbles in total. You can use them to make fifty different items. Go play!"
Qian Yu was just thinking about where to get the bubbles when his hand suddenly felt heavy and an extra bubble appeared. He tried to test it out, "Turn it into flowers."
With a puff, a bright red rose appeared in his hand.
Qian Yu: ...
Could it be any more outrageous? How on earth did this come about?
The couple looked at each other and saw their excitement.
