Chapter 228: Guardian Battle
On April 12, the park’s new announcement immediately caused a sensation on the Internet.
You have to know that the Fantasy Land has only been open for a few days, and many people have not had the opportunity to experience it yet. Suddenly, it was announced that a large-scale event would be held, and even the fans of the park who had high expectations were confused.
Some innocent tourists were overjoyed and rushed to tell others: "Ahhh, the park has opened a new one! So happy!"
There are gold-diggers who want to take the opportunity to salvage some points: I missed the last Frost Descendant Demon Event, I must make a fortune this time.
For those concerned about the principal's health: Help! The park is launching new events more frequently than online games. Can the principal's liver handle it?
Some are worried about not being able to get tickets: "Look at the time! The May Day holiday is almost here. Is this a warm-up for May Day? I had already planned to go to the theme park on May Day with my family, but now it's over. I definitely won't be able to get tickets."
Someone analyzing the new event asked: "Is there really a million-dollar grand prize? As expected of a theme park, every time they throw real money at it."
There are also some worried park fans: "Ah, that's it! Actually, six months or three months is a better time to release something new. Director, aren't you launching events too quickly now? We'd rather take it slow and focus on quality!"
In short, it stayed on the hot search for several days.
Inside the Fantasy Park, employees also discussed this event.
Meng Le is drawing the design. It has been a long time since the park has had any large-scale projects requiring her to participate in the design, but Meng Le has never had a gap in her work. Although there are no large-scale projects, some details, such as the landscape in the park, the distribution of green belts, etc., still need her to adjust.
It was almost lunchtime, and she heard several newcomers talking to Meng Xiaodai at the same time.
"Sister Meng, I've seen a lot of people online saying the theme park's events are coming out too quickly. Can the park really handle it?"
Meng Le thought, you are surprised by this, but she was too concerned. The park was expanding very quickly, so naturally they were recruiting new employees every month. The new employees were curious at first and had a lot of questions, but within a few days, they would get used to everything in the park and, like the old employees, turn a blind eye to the wonders in the park, thinking that it was as normal as eating and going to the toilet.
Sure enough, Meng Xiaodai didn’t explain too much. She just said that you should do the things at hand first and you will know in a few days.
As soon as she finished speaking, another colleague asked, "Sister Meng, we've been given a task from higher-ups, saying that some unnecessary rides will be closed during the World War event. They've asked us to compile a list of regulations and post a notice. But where are any unnecessary rides in our park? Every single one of them is absolutely necessary!"
This new colleague was a fan of the theme park before he joined the company. After visiting the park several times, his preference for it became even stronger. He soon quit his original job and joined the company. Now, when he saw that some rides were going to be closed, his tone became heartbroken, as if a piece of his flesh was being cut off.
Meng Xiaodai used to do copywriting and publicity work, but now those tasks have naturally been handed over to the newcomers. She carefully read the email sent down from her superiors and said, "It clearly states that this is just to make room for a large-scale event. It will be open after the large-scale event is over."
Compared to Meng Xiaodai, who was preoccupied with other things, the new colleague, working in a copywriting position, clearly read the email word for word. He was very confused, "But it says 'World Defense War' is a large-scale, long-term event. How long will it last? If it lasts only a year or two, wouldn't it be a shame to shut down all the attractions? And many tourists haven't experienced everything yet."
Meng Xiaodai only took this issue seriously after hearing it.
Her job is to do whatever the director tells her to do. When she first started working, she had some doubts and concerns, but later she became a robot that did whatever the director told her to do. This does not mean that she has lost her own judgment and opinions, but because facts have proved that all decisions made by the director will lead the park to a better path, and her doubts at the time were only because she did not have a long-term vision.
But this email really made her wonder for the first time in a long time. She said to her new colleague, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll ask the principal."
She walked out of the busy cubicle, returned to her office and sent a message to the principal, asking him if he wanted to reconsider his decision.
The email stated that the businesses that would be temporarily closed during the event included the Hot Springs, Fantasy Ranch, Prank City, Tree Spirit Children's Area, and Fantasy Land.
It would be fine if the "World Guardian War" event only lasted for a week or a few days like previous events, but if it really lasted for more than a few months, the tourists would be very disappointed. When the news was posted online, many tourists would be dissatisfied with it.
Although she didn't understand the deep reason, Meng Xiaodai had a vague awareness: the theme park is a place that makes people happy and tourists cannot be disappointed.
When Meng Xiaodai sent the message, Chi Yizheng discussed this issue with his character cards in the security room of Fantasy Park.
Thrall, covered in wounds, had been carried back by Bo Shuangchi and nursed in his backpack for days. Now, he was finally alive and kicking. Upon waking, he immediately embraced his young father, then hugged Chi Xiaozhen, Duoduo, and Bo Shuangchi one by one. He snatched Duoduo's unwrapped gummy candy and began chewing it, then said with a tone of relief, "I almost thought I'd never see you again."
Duoduo glared at him, very dissatisfied with his behavior of snatching the candy from the children.
Chi Xiaozhen patted his shoulder and said thank you for your hard work. Bo Shuangchi looked at this and that and remained silent.
Chi Yizhen looked at them and said, "Okay, what do you think about closing some of the rides?"
The brothers and sisters looked at each other, then Chi Xiaozhen and Bo Shuangchi expressed their agreement, while Sal and Duoduo said no.
Chi Xiaozhen said, "War is imminent. The entire park will become a battlefield. The power of the evil gods cannot be underestimated. If they break through the park's suppression, the residents of the hot springs will definitely bear the brunt. We can't take that risk. Moreover, with the war imminent, it's best to focus all our efforts on training extraordinary people and fighting the evil gods. These insignificant attractions are not necessary."
Bo Shuangchi: "I agree."
Sar said, "If we can't even protect the residents of Fantasyland by then, then let alone the citizens outside, it's just a matter of whether it's closed sooner or later. It won't make much difference whether it's closed or not. But it's best not to close it."
Duoduo nodded. The two of them had obviously discussed this. Duoduo added, "If only the hot springs were closed, it wouldn't be a big problem. But this time, the director wants to close too many attractions. The children's area, Prank City, and Fantasy Ranch. If all of these attractions were closed, many visitors would be disappointed. The park cannot disappoint. We want everyone who thinks of the park to feel happy and positive."
Yes! We want everyone who thinks of Paradise to have happy, positive thoughts in their hearts.
This has been the purpose of the park since its opening. If tourists feel disappointed or regretful about the park, the park's power will be weakened. This is the fucked-up part of the rules in the game system.
But if he didn't use that set of rules, Chi Yizhen wouldn't be able to reach this level now. How could he still be sitting here and talking about things? He would have been defeated by the evil gods long ago.
Alas, he used the power system from another world, but he was not an evil god. The evil god could be a good person on the one hand, relying on human faith to gain power, and he could also be a bad person on the other hand, using the intimidation of monsters against humans to gain power. He was really both a referee and a contestant.
He is not capable of doing this, because he is tied to the park. Tourists highly recognize the park, and disappointment with the park means disappointment in him, and his power will become unstable.
This really makes the head teacher worried!
Let’s go back a few days.
When Chi Yizheng realized that something was wrong with Thrall, he tried to forcibly recall Thrall. After failing, he remembered that after the character card became real, the forced recall function became invalid. The character card can only choose to return on its own and cannot be forcibly recalled by him. At the same time, all the messages he sent to Thrall fell into the sea. He didn't know whether the other party could not hear him or heard him but was unable to respond.
Feeling that he had been tricked by the evil god, Chi Yizheng immediately sent a message to Bo Shuangchi to go and help Sal. However, Bo Shuangchi, who was a directionally challenged person, had completely forgotten how to get to the Kingdom of Theodore. He had no choice but to keep in touch with Bo Shuangchi at all times and act as a temporary smart navigation.
After rushing all the way, they finally arrived near the Kingdom of Theodore. However, as soon as Bo Shuangchi arrived near the royal capital, he lost contact with him.
Chi Yizheng had a headache at that time. Thinking of the group of mice he had secretly released into the other world, he almost wanted to drive the mice over to check out the situation. Fortunately, the space blockade set up by the Pope of the Four Seasons and the clergy was not very strong. In addition, the blockade became brittle after Thrall resisted for more than two hours, so Bo Shuangchi was able to break through the blockade and return with Thrall.
Otherwise, he might really have to die this time. No, it's not just that. The evil god of seasons is very cunning, and there's no telling how he'll use Thrall if he gets into his hands. He might even make him his puppet and use him to attack Paradise.
Chi Yizhen almost broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. Although he occasionally felt a little disgusted with Sal, after all, Sal embodied many of his own shortcomings, but this was his first character card after all. Although Sal often did not act like an elder brother, he was very protective of his brothers and sisters, and was very good to him as the headmaster. This kind of affection was something that no one else could cross. If something really happened to Sal, he would be heartbroken.
Fortunately, Sal returned safely.
After this incident, Chi Yi really understood that Si Ji was going to completely turn against him. Although it was a bit sudden, he was not too surprised.
Over such a long period of time, through constantly absorbing evil spirits from other worlds and digging deep into the history of the Thorns Empire, Chi Yizheng deeply understood how cunning and greedy those evil gods were.
So far, among the four evil gods in the other world, two extremes have emerged. One is the God of the Sea. Because of his believers, he has become increasingly dull and weak. This dullness does not mean that he is stupid, but because the pure emotions he receives from his believers conflict with his own evil attributes, causing him to be in chaos. The good side suppresses the evil side, but it also makes him weak. He has to sleep frequently and does not have much energy to keep thinking.
In Poseidon's current situation, he can't even take care of himself, so he poses basically no threat to the Earth.
The other extreme is the Four Seasons Goddess of the Kingdom of Theodore. Although they are called goddesses, these evil gods themselves have no gender distinction. The images they create are just to make it easier for them to attract believers. Compared with male gods, the image of a goddess is of course more friendly and warm to humans.
In stark contrast to the Sea God, the Evil God of Four Seasons possesses a deep-seated evil, combined with the extreme emotions he has absorbed from humans, making him extremely intelligent and well-versed in human nature. During the Thorns Empire, he was able to use tactics such as sowing discord and framing others to cause the collapse of an entire empire. After becoming the "guardian god" of the Kingdom of Theodore, his followers have repeatedly caused the destruction of others' families...
How could such a clever evil god not notice Paradise's perfunctory treatment and calculations towards him?
Chi Yizheng carefully analyzed the game between the two sides during this period.
Initially, the monsters, driven by their instinct for flesh and blood, discovered the hole in the world barrier and, lured by the lure of flesh and blood, continued to pour into Earth. Soon, the hole grew larger and larger, and even the evil god noticed something was amiss, so a leech possessed a level 30 monster to test it.
After some discussion, they came to believe that there were countless gods on Earth, so they reached an agreement: the Evil God Church would come to preach, and Earth's electrical appliances would be sold to the other world. During this period, they had a friendly and cooperative relationship.
Then, the Evil God Church was trapped in the paradise, unable to leave. Their missionary work failed, and they were bullied by strange races. Visitors to the paradise wanted to obtain the Church's skill books for free, so the Evil Gods took the initiative to open the skill books and exert their power within them, hoping to secretly influence the visitors' minds. However, this tactic was thwarted by Chi Yizhen using the Sky Aquarium. The power of the Psychic Dolls sealed the visitors' minds, blocking the influence of the Evil Gods' power.
From this point on, problems arose. In a short period of time, the evil gods did not notice anything, but as time went on, they discovered that there were tens of thousands of tourists coming and going in the park every day, and so many people had learned skills, but not a single one joined the religion. Of course, they would become suspicious.
However, the evil gods were quite patient. Not only did they show no signs of abnormality, but they continued to provide monsters to the park for tourists to upgrade as usual. This calmness and smoothness made Chi Yizheng mistakenly believe that the evil gods had not discovered the truth until today when they suddenly attacked and almost killed Sal.
They dared to do this, so they must have been completely certain that what Chi Yizheng said at the beginning was all lies, and that apart from Chi Yizheng, there was no other god or means on Earth that could stop them?
The power must have seeped in from a crack in another world. After all, there was no paradise blocking the way there, so it wasn't difficult for the evil gods to spy on the true situation on Earth.
So the question is, why choose this time to launch the attack? What is different from the past?
Chi Yizheng initially thought that Si Ji attacked Sal because he was angry and embarrassed after discovering the truth and was about to turn against him. But now, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was deliberately using Sal to divert his attention. So what was he going to do after diverting his attention?
What could be more important than the life and death of a level 50 follower? And if they really wanted to kill Thrall, Four Seasons could have easily done it with a single slap. Why would they have to toil for so long for a whole group of clergy? After all, King Theodore was the home of the Four Seasons Evil God!
At that moment, Chi Yizheng's heart was pounding and a sense of crisis came over him. He suddenly looked in the direction of the hole in the world and found that the hole was suddenly stretched open after a tremor!
It was stretched open!
Stretched open!
It’s open…
