Chapter 7 Paradise Opening (Revised)
Chi Yizhen wouldn't boast about anything else, but when it comes to aesthetics, he feels he has something to say. Thrall's initial appearance in the game was just cookie-cutter, but after his subtle adjustments, he had to show everyone that this was his best-looking cub. Sure enough, this handsome guy attracted a crowd the moment he stepped out on the street—all men.
The girls who should have been attracted to him only glanced a few more times, but were very reserved and kept their distance. The scene he imagined of a bunch of girls rushing over to grab the flyers didn't happen. What happened to the saying that opposites attract?
Looking at the boys surrounding him who pinched him from time to time and asked him about fitness methods, and then looking at his own strong muscles, Chi Yizheng seemed to understand something belatedly.
Sal's stern appearance did not dampen the enthusiasm of these boys. They took the flyers without even looking at them, and only asked, "Handsome guy, can you be my coach?"
Oh, so they thought he was here to promote the gym. Sal could only say coldly, "This is an amusement park. It opens at 7pm tonight and has an exploration theme."
These people focused on looking at the flyers in their hands and found that it really was an amusement park. They thought that amusement parks nowadays really spent a lot of money to be able to hire such a handsome guy to hand out flyers.
Jin'an is a small southern city, and both men and women are generally petite. Sal, at 1.88 meters tall, stands out as incredibly large. It was the first time Chi Yizhen had experienced what it was like to see nothing but heads at a glance, and he wished this was his real height.
"Everyone is welcome to come at 7pm."
The boys laughed and said of course, of course, but Chi Yizhen knew that only half of them would come. It wasn't that he didn't have confidence in Sal's looks, but because those boys were obviously from a nearby high school. Most kids of their age didn't even have personal freedom, and there weren't many day students who could go out and play at night. However, when he handed out flyers to them, he didn't expect them all to come, but hoped that they would take the flyers home and spread them from family to family.
Alas, since he is too poor to buy advertisements, he can only let everyone know that the amusement park is open in this way.
He walked around the street and finally had a sudden idea to go to the only gay bar in the area and get some customers by selling Sal's body.
As for the issue of moral integrity, this is all Thrall's personal behavior. What does it have to do with me, Chi Yizheng?
After delivering dozens of flyers to target customers, Chi Yizhen quickly returned to the park to start decorating. Why was it opened at 7 pm? Of course, it was because it was dark and the lights were dim, so customers couldn't see how shabby the park was!
In the blink of an eye, the sun set and the lights at the entrance of the park came on.
Cao Xiaoliang took his classmates and found the entrance of the park according to the address on the flyer.
He looked up and saw a brand new gate in front of him. Above the gate was a large red banner that was very eye-catching: Welcome to the Fantasy Paradise, giving you the most realistic monster-killing experience!!!
The three exclamation marks at the end seemed to be trying to illustrate how shocking this experience could be. However, after looking at it for a long time, Cao Xiaoliang could only taste a sense of poverty.
Ah, this...
He carefully examined the opening date on the flyer: July 17, 2022, which was today. Then, looking at the empty entrance to the park, he was certain that this newly opened park was indeed deserted. Not only were there no firecrackers or lion dances, but there wasn't even a flower basket.
His classmate Zhang He also wondered, "Are you sure we're in the right place?"
Cao Xiaoliang was also puzzled, "I found the right place!" It was just that the flyer said it was an adventure theme park, but the one hanging on the door of the park was a fantasy monster-fighting one.
How can I put it? It's like Di Renjie investigating a crime and stumbling upon Ultraman's monster-fighting scene. The whole thing exudes a sense of absurdity and hilarity.
The two were hesitating whether to go forward when the gate to the park suddenly opened. A young man wearing glasses walked out. His eyes lit up when he saw them. "Classmates, are you here to visit the park? Come in! The park is opening today. Show your flyer and you can get half-off tickets! It's only ten yuan to experience it!"
The two were hesitating whether to leave or not, but when they heard that half-price tickets were only ten yuan, they stopped in their tracks. Nowadays, a cup of milk tea outside costs twenty yuan, and they feel like they are getting a loss if they don’t try it for the ten yuan!
Cao Xiaoliang and Zhang He immediately expressed their desire to buy tickets to experience it, and then each of them received a pair of plastic glasses worth a few dollars, which looked exactly the same as the 3D glasses in the cinema. The ticket seller also specifically reminded them that this was an important prop that allowed them to experience holographic monster fighting, and they must not lose it, and they had to return it after the experience.
Both of them: ...
Just when the two of them were full of complaints and didn't know where to vent, several beams of light came from afar. They looked up and saw two cars parked not far away, one in front and one behind. Then the car doors opened and several men dressed extremely flamboyantly got out. The oldest looked to be in his thirties and the youngest was in his twenties. As soon as they came in, they poked their heads around and asked in subtle ways about the handsome guy who was handing out flyers today.
The conductor was not at all flustered by this scene. He said calmly, "Oh, you mean Sal? He works the day shift and I work the night shift."
A few gay guys eagerly said, "Then we'll come over tomorrow?"
The ticket seller calmly said, "The park will be closed for a day tomorrow for renovations."
Everyone was disappointed, and Cao Xiaoliang also found it strange. How could a business close for rectification on the second day after opening?
"But..." the ticket seller suddenly said, "If you have fun after entering and spread the word about it on your social media, you can get the WeChat ID of our publicity manager, Sal."
The gays were delighted to hear this, but one asked doubtfully, "Can you make the decision?"
The ticket seller, Chi Yizhen, smiled and said, "I am the boss."
After he said that, everyone had no more questions and bought their tickets before entering the park one after another. Cao Xiaoliang and Zhang He were the first to arrive, but now they were at the end of the line. They murmured to each other, and Cao Xiaoliang suddenly felt regretful. "Could this park be just a duck shop in disguise?"
Zhang He complained, "Can a duck shop have a handsome guy as high-class as Sal?"
Cao Xiaoliang thought so too. With Sal's looks, he could easily become a star. At the very least, he could become rich as an internet celebrity. Why would he end up here as a gigolo? He must be a college student working part-time, and then being used as a publicity stunt by an unscrupulous boss. The talk of working the day shift and closing the shop tomorrow for repairs was definitely an excuse!
However, no matter how much he grumbled in his heart, it did not prevent Cao Xiaoliang from entering the park for a visit. After all, he had already spent the money.
“This scene is really well put together!”
“I put my heart into it!”
Cao Xiaoliang looked up and saw a half-collapsed carousel in front of him. The paint on the poles supporting the wooden horses was mottled, revealing the rusty iron sheets underneath. After walking two steps forward, he saw another wooden horse lying on the ground. The weeds next to it were almost as tall as a person, and under the dim green light, it looked a bit eerie.
According to the flyer they got, today's mystery game took place in a shabby amusement park.
"We walked past the collapsed carousel, pushed aside the unsightly half-human-high weeds, and saw a plaster sheep that clearly bore the marks of age. Two black eyes on its head seemed to stare at us..." Zhang He read out the game script and exclaimed, "It's exactly like the script! And the marks on the plaster don't even look old!"
Of course, they didn't know that this script was based on the shabby park. They just thought that this place was specially built for the exploration theme. They all admired the park's intentions. Those gays who originally came to pursue Sal couldn't help but focus on the game when they saw this.
They found the plaster sheep and fumbled around for a while. Someone accidentally bumped into the plaster sheep, and it fell to the ground with a thud, revealing a smooth wooden stick underneath with a note on it that read: Congratulations on obtaining a weapon.
There were eleven people in the group. Following the script, they wandered around the park. Everyone found a weapon. A wooden stick was the most important. Others found iron pots with holes in them, some found stones with shapes that suited them, and some found flashlights...
By this time, half an hour had passed. What would normally be a boring thing seemed to have become a little fun once it became a game and was placed in such an old and gloomy place.
But from the beginning of the game until now, there has been no guiding NPC, no other exciting projects, just following the script to find things. After the novelty wore off, everyone felt very bored. Just when Cao Xiaoliang felt that he had bought a ten-yuan deal and was thinking about going home, Zhang He next to him suddenly shouted, "Holy shit, look at what that is!"
Cao Xiaoliang and several people beside him looked in the direction Zhang He pointed, but they only felt a gust of cold wind blowing on their faces and saw nothing else.
Zhang He hurriedly said: "Glasses, glasses, put them on!"
Cao Xiaoliang quickly put on his glasses, and the next moment he exclaimed "Oh my God!" He saw a monster that vaguely looked like a combination of a wolf and an eagle wrapped in a black mist rushing towards them.
Everyone's first reaction was shock. When the thing rushed over with a foul smell, everyone forgot about the weapons in their hands, howled like ghosts and wolves, and ran out!
