Chapter 176 "Book Travel" Experience Hall 1
Early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people lined up at the entrance of the park. There were local residents wearing new clothes, and foreign tourists with dark circles under their eyes after being excited all night, but everyone's face was filled with excitement.
Li Chenggong and his family of three came here today specifically for the "Book Tour". They have been loyal fans of the park for a long time. When Li Chenggong was in the early stages of cancer, it was fortunately discovered by the doctor in the park's medical room. Later, after the operation, he followed the doctor's advice and came to the park frequently to fight monsters. Recently, his health has been getting better and better, and he has become more and more impressed with the park.
"Luckily, I've been coming to the park to fight monsters every day for the past six months. While I certainly haven't killed 666 level 1 monsters, I've killed quite a few level 5 and 6 monsters. I've earned points and never used them in all this time. This time, I'll take you guys along for some fun."
Although people on the internet have been complaining that the participation and immersion modes of "Book Travel" require four-digit points, which is really terrible, for local residents of Jinan City, this number of points is not unaffordable. After all, there was no limit on ticket purchases in the early days of the park. Local people with money and free time could come every day, and the points they earned had no other use, so they just kept accumulating there, and now they can be used.
As for those whose points are not as high as theirs, they also saw the benefits of points from this "Book Tour" project. They have been working hard to kill monsters these days. They just regret that the park didn't have another large-scale event. After all, although fighting that level 30 eagle-eyed serpent monster was annoying, the points they gained were indeed quite a lot!
As usual, Li Chenggong swiped his ticket to enter the park. He heard the tourist in front of him stand still after swiping his ticket. He thought something had happened, then he heard the tourist say, "People used to give their nicknames when they swiped their ticket. Why didn't they do that this time?"
The ticket machine at the entrance of the park did not always report nicknames and battle records in the past. It was random, sometimes reporting and sometimes not. At that time, some people jokingly said that this ticket machine had the ability to read minds. Later, the park launched more and more new projects that became more and more fun, and people gradually stopped paying attention to this ticket machine.
Suddenly hearing someone asking, Li Chenggong glanced at the person and said, "You're from out of town, right?! These ticket machines don't report nicknames and records anymore, saying it wastes time. If you want to report them, you can set them up yourself on the park app."
He thought that since this person wanted to share his nickname and achievements, he might be a big shot on the merit list who wanted to show off his achievements. So he asked a few more questions, and the foreign tourist said calmly, "My nickname is 'Leg-crippled Cute Newbie Looking for Thumbs Up.'"
After saying that, he limped away.
Ah, it turns out the other person has a bad leg. Li Chenggong felt a little apologetic. Just now, this person moved slowly in front of them, and he secretly complained in his heart.
He hurriedly took his wife and children to the park, swiped their tickets, and entered, but he could not see the man anywhere. There were simply too many people in the park, especially in the small area near the main entrance. If one person walked in, they would quickly disappear in the crowd.
His wife, Ms. Song, said, "Don't worry about it. He's given a nickname like that, which shows he's very optimistic. The facilities in the park are so good, why worry that he won't have a good time?"
Li Chenggong thought about it and agreed. He was a very proud person. He didn't dare let others know that he had fallen and hurt himself, for fear of losing face. But others might not have as many problems as he did. Thinking about it, he put the matter aside and happily walked towards the "Book Tour" experience hall.
Dear visitors, Happy New Year. Currently, the park has sold 60,000 tickets. Due to the large number of people, the entrance is crowded. Please queue up in an orderly manner and refrain from pushing or cutting in line. Please go to an open area to play.
Fantasy Ranch, Mischief City, Fantasy Haunted House, and Sky Aquarium all have wide-open spaces for everyone to enjoy. Please refrain from spending too much time in narrow areas.
Dear visitors, there is no limit on the number of visitors to the "Book Tour" experience hall, and there is no limit on the time of visit. You can visit at any time as long as you need. The waiting time will not exceed ten minutes. Please do not rush and enter in an orderly manner with your ticket.
When the Sky Aquarium opened, it had set a limit on the number of people allowed in. Li Chenggong and his family were originally quite anxious, fearing that the "Book Travel" experience center would be too popular and they would not be able to get a number, thus wasting their time. But now, upon hearing the reminder on the radio, they felt relieved.
Tourists around were also saying, "Looks like we don't have to worry about missing out this time."
"Do you have any points? Can you give me some? I want to go directly into the book."
"Is spectator mode like watching a holographic movie?"
"Extra, Extra, I'm charging points. 1 point is one dollar. Cash transaction. No limit on quantity. Anyone selling points?"
"Points can really be bought and sold! Does the park allow it?"
“There’s no option to buy or sell points in the park app, but you can gift points by adding friends on the app.”
"Then we can do the transaction offline?"
"You still have to be careful. What if someone cheats you out of points?"
"Haha, besides selling props, here's another way to make money."
…
The "Book Travel" experience center is located on the land that the park leased from the government for the second time. On the way, you will pass by the headquarters of the four major churches. The road and the church headquarters are separated by only a row of fences.
As Li Chenggong and his family followed the signs and the surging crowd, they saw a seal lying on the ground in the sun near the church. He smiled and said, "When did the park have an animal exhibition? It's quite cute."
The others also praised the seal for its lively appearance. When they saw the seal looking up, they all said, "Hey, this seal can actually understand human language!"
Seal Bishop sunbathing: ...
The Four Seasons Church and the Life Church saw a large group of tourists coming early in the morning. They were delighted with the growing reputation of the church and were thinking about how much conversion fee they would have to pay. They were ready to preach, but they saw that the tourists ignored them without hesitation and walked directly to another road.
The "Book Tour" experience center is located in an area behind the church. It looks like a huge open book, much like the design of a library. Visitors line up to enter and choose the mode they want to experience.
The gate is five meters wide, with two rows of dividing fences dividing it into three passages, and diversion signs are posted in front of the passages.
The overhead announcement loops, "Dear visitors, welcome to the "Book Tour" experience center. Visitors who wish to spectate should use the left aisle, those who wish to participate should use the middle aisle, and those who wish to immerse themselves should use the right aisle."
Dear visitors, the "Book Tour" experience hall has a lounge with drinks and snacks, a nursery room, and accessible restrooms...
[Tickets for viewing are 20 yuan, with children under 10 years old paying half price. Parents are advised to carefully read the "Tour Guidelines" section. Children under five years old are prohibited from viewing the following books...]
[Entrance to the participating mode is 6,666 yuan + 6,666 points. Visitors with insufficient points are advised to proceed to the spectator mode channel to avoid increasing the workload of the service staff.]
[Immersive mode admission is 8,888 yuan + 8,888 points. Please note that certain movements below the neck will be blocked during the tour. If you encounter any blocking, please don't panic and just double-click "Skip."]
Li Chenggong and his family thought that the three of them and their child would have to pay more than 10,000 yuan for half-price tickets, and they felt sorry for the money. They decided to just watch and walk through the left aisle. However, a couple in the middle aisle were arguing because they could not experience "activities below the neck".
Seeing this, Li Chenggong and Ms. Song's shoulders trembled, and they were trying to hold back their laughter. Their son asked them with a confused look on his face what exercises below the neck were.
Li Chenggong was unsure how to respond when Ms. Song replied casually, "Oh, just sit-ups."
The son immediately lost interest.
At the end of the passage is a manual service window, which really looks like a train ticket station. There is an LCD screen under the window, and a door on the left side of the window with "Tour Entrance" written on it.
Li Chenggong went forward and scanned his park account, and then heard the staff say, "There are three of you in total, and the ticket price is 60 yuan."
After Li Chenggong and his family swiped their annual passes to the theme park, they saw rows of book titles pop up on the LCD screen in front of them for them to choose from. Among them were some famous works and ancient books, all of which were ancient works whose copyright protection period had expired.
Li Chenggong and Ms. Song thought that they were bringing their child, so they consulted their son and chose the "Xiao Qian" chapter from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
Then they passed through the door on the left, and their eyes went dark and bright, and they found themselves in front of a wild temple. The sign on the temple read: Lanruo Temple.
In the hazy mist in the distance, a scholar carrying a book box was walking slowly. It was obviously Ning Caichen. A line of golden simplified Chinese characters was floating around him, which was the original text of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
"Wow!"
Li Chenggong and his family followed Ning Caichen to watch this story, and were amazed to find that this story was nothing like what was shown in the movie.
It turns out that Yan Chixia is not a bearded, sloppy man, but a handsome and elegant scholar who carries a sword to exorcise demons. Moreover, Yan Chixia is not a pedantic Taoist who kills demons when he sees them. He is quite open-minded.
Ning Caichen's story was just okay. At the end of the story, he brought Xiaoqian home as his second wife, and she later gave birth to his child. It was nothing like the sad ending in the movie.
Li Chenggong and his wife weren't majoring in literature, so they didn't quite understand why the story unfolded this way. They just found it quite novel. "Can ghosts give birth to children? How are they any different from humans?"
On the other side, Xia Qingqing and Ma Xiaoxiao also entered the "Book Travel" experience hall's spectator mode.
Both of them participated in the Frost Descendant Demon event last time and had a lot of points, but they were reluctant to spend the four-digit entry tickets for the participation mode, so they chose the spectator mode first.
The only novels that can be viewed at the "Book Tour" experience center are ancient novels that have no copyright disputes.
Neither of them wanted to choose the more well-known ones, so after choosing for a while, they chose "Youwei Caotang Notes", which neither of them had read the original text.
Then as they entered, their eyes were dazzled.
The person who appeared before them was actually a beautiful young man with a complexion like a flower in the spring morning. How handsome was this beautiful young man? When he glanced over, their hearts began to beat fast.
Xia Qingqing said happily, "The protagonist is so good-looking. We are so lucky this time."
The handsome boy in this story was very worried, because he obviously knew that he was too handsome, and he worried every day that he would be raped when he went out.
So he practiced martial arts hard and became a peerless master. Finally, he had the courage to go out.
After he went out, as expected, he was stopped and teased by big men because of his handsome face that was so handsome that it made the sun and the moon pale in comparison. So the beautiful young man, who had become a martial arts master, raped the two big men in turn.
Xia Qingqing and Ma Xiaoxiao: ...
After coming out, they took a closer look at the author of the book - Ji Xiaolan, and were shocked again.
