Chapter 77 Paradise Internal Channel
“This room is in great condition!”
After Li successfully entered the room, he expressed satisfaction with the accommodation conditions of the hot spring resort.
Because they are a family of three, they live in a family suite. In addition to the master bedroom for the couple, there is also a small second bedroom for the child, and a small living room. There is also a smart TV opposite the sofa. The decoration design and color matching are very trendy, and you can tell at a glance that the designer is a young person.
My wife, Ms. Song, is not very fond of the decoration style, but she has very high requirements for hygiene.
After entering, she took a quick look, then unwrapped the quilt, pillowcases, mattress, carpet, and bathroom supplies. She was surprised to find the room spotless, with even the back of the TV spotless. This amazed Ms. Song. She hadn't stayed in the highest-end hotels, but because of her work, she had stayed in rooms in the 200-1,000 yuan range. For various reasons, even hotels costing over a thousand yuan a night couldn't guarantee comprehensive cleanliness. Someone once claimed that cleaners received the same salary regardless of hotel price, and therefore maintained the same hygiene standards.
She originally thought that since the hot spring center could provide hot spring bathing, buffet meals, and other services with a ticket price of 500 yuan, and since a large number of coupons were issued, the room conditions must be poor. It was not that Ms. Song felt that the park did not want to do a good job, but the cost was there, and if it continued to operate like this, it would inevitably lose money and go bankrupt. She did not expect that Fantasy Park would pay such strict attention to hygiene and pay attention to this aspect. The director must be very confident in the operation of the park.
Li Chenggong had already sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. Seeing his wife rummaging around the room like she was on a treasure hunt, he smiled and said, "Are you still worried about living here? Didn't I tell you before that Fantasy Park has a big background? Not long after it opened, the city government added two bus lines to it. Other things, like applying for loans, are also very fast... Hey, aren't you tired after playing all day today? Stop watching, come and watch TV with us."
"What's so good about TV?" Ms. Song muttered, but sat down next to her husband honestly.
At this time, the TV screen lit up. Li Chenggong was about to tune into his favorite channel, but he found that there were no usual channels on the TV. There were only two channels, one for the dwarfs and the other for the tree spirits. There was also a line of text next to them: This is an internal channel independently created by Fantasy Park. It aims to help everyone understand the daily life of the dwarfs and tree spirits. If you want to watch ordinary satellite channels, please press the return button.
While Li Chenggong looked confused, Ms. Song became interested.
This evening, after a sweaty family trip to the park, she saw the dwarf pups serving the hot springs. Ms. Song has always had a soft spot for plush creatures. She loves them in videos and pictures, but feels uneasy when they get close. When she learned that these adorable pups were controlled by the park's intelligent AI, she asked, "I heard these pups are intelligent. Are there gender differences?"
The staff member had no doubts about her question, as it seemed many people had already asked it. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, there are male and female cubs. The female hot spring area is staffed by female cubs, and the male hot spring area is staffed by male cubs."
Ms. Song originally thought the so-called male and female was just a setting, but when she left the hot spring area and went to the cute pet interactive area, she was shocked to find that the male cubs there really had little bells. She also sighed to Li Chenggong about how much attention to detail the park has paid to. Then, seeing that the park actually has two channels of its own, she immediately said to her husband, "Hurry up, I want to see the dwarfs."
Li Chenggong immediately clicked on the dwarf channel.
What appeared before them was a bird's-eye view. The camera kept falling, revealing a devastated earth and a deep, frozen chasm at its center. The background music was majestic, like the beginning of a conspiracy, the prelude to war. Then, the camera quickly moved downward, revealing a small hole. From within, a medium-sized dwarf crawled out. At the same time, the background music changed, becoming the cheerful, clattering rhythm of small drums.
The camera follows the elf as it runs into a big house where there are countless elves, all of whom are... making snacks!
That's right, it's about making snacks. Upstream, a group of dwarfs are diligently making food, and downstream, there is a packaging machine. Two furry guys are putting snacks into the packaging bags one by one. With a beep, the machine seals the bag, and a bag of bulging snacks rolls into the big cardboard box on the ground.
Ms. Song recognized it and blurted out, "Isn't this the snacks I bought during the day? So this is how it's made. It's so cute."
No one took this seriously, thinking that the park had made such a video specifically to promote the fluffy elves as its brand image.
After watching Fluffy for a while, the two of them curiously went to watch the Tree Spirit Channel. The picture showed a group of tree spirits sitting under the trees, singing and dancing. The beauty of the people and the scenery were very enjoyable to watch. The two of them were getting into the show when suddenly the TV screen turned into a snow screen with a crackling sound.
Li Chenggong: "What's going on? Is the TV broken?"
Ms. Song: "Let me call customer service and ask!"
At this time, their son came back from playing and pointed at the TV screen and asked, "What is that?"
When the couple looked over, they found that the snow on the TV screen had disappeared, and a few large white words appeared on the black screen: Welcome to watch the Fantasy Park's temporary special program - "Three Stupid Thieves in the Park".
"Look at this, look at this!" The son pulled them to sit down. When the couple saw that there was no problem with the TV, they sat down and continued watching.
"Eh? These look like the foreigners from today!" Li Chenggong called out.
In the center of the screen, the faces of the three familiar foreigners were clearly illuminated by the lights in the hot springs. Ms. Song said with certainty, "That's them."
Son: "Are they speaking English? There are subtitles below!"
***
Lauren, Tom and John had no idea that they had become part of the show being watched by the guests at the hot springs.
The latest operating hours for the attractions at Fantasy Park were 9:00 PM, the children's area closed at 6:00 PM, and the Dwarf Restaurant closed after 6:00 PM. As a precaution, they waited in their room after dinner until 10:00 PM before leaving. As they left the hot springs, they were questioned by the staff, who unanimously explained, "The park must be beautiful at night, and we wanted to go for a walk."
After they said that, the staff also became proud and just gave them a few words of advice.
What the staff reminded them of were the three check-in rules behind the hotel room door, which made the three people more convinced that those places were the core secrets of the fantasy park.
The park is very quiet late at night. Only the hot spring hall has some noises because of the tourists staying there. Once you walk out of the hot spring hall, you can't hear any sound. Only the street lights shine silently all night long.
"Be careful of the cameras here," Lauren said. He wasn't usually a talkative person, but today, for some reason, he felt a strong need to explain his every move. "Although we've already brought the most advanced jammers, we still have to be careful to prevent Fantasyland from using even higher technology."
Tom: "In that case, why don't we wear a hood?"
John: "Are you stupid? Without the hoods, we can explain that we're just guests who've strayed off the beaten path. But with the hoods, doesn't it make it clear that we're up to no good?"
Visitors watching the show: Wow! This stupid thief is quite smart!
The three foreigners had already memorized the park's topography. Lauren said, "This park is so small, it's impossible to get lost. But they specifically warned you not to go through that door if you get lost. There must be something wrong there."
So the three of them split up: Lauren went to the gate, Tom to the abandoned park, and John to the children's area. Before they parted ways, Lauren explained, "We've brought the largest hard drive we can. If we find the park's AI host, we'll use it to copy the core code. If we can disassemble the holographic projection device, we'll do so. If not, we'll try to take as many photos as possible."
Why did Lauren explain the plan they had already agreed on again? This thought flashed through Tom and John's mind and they quickly forgot about it. They gave each other an OK sign and went to different places.
Lauren came to the viewing corridor. The corridor without tourists was pitch black. He put on night vision goggles and quickly found the small door in the middle.
He took out various high-tech devices from his pocket, which was like a treasure bag. After spending half a minute, he finally cracked the electronic code on the door. He pushed the door open excitedly, but found that the door was not locked at all. After the code lock was unlocked, a spring-loaded boxing glove appeared, which punched him quickly, accurately and fiercely.
Lauren, with a bruise on the left side of her face: ...
Tourists watching the show: Hahaha, this stupid thief’s expression made me laugh to death!
Lauren hit the boxing glove in anger, but didn't dare to make any sound. At this time, he began to doubt whether the top secret of the park was behind this small door, but he had already opened the door and came in, so it would be unreasonable not to go in and take a look.
Lauren walked in and found a grassy patch behind the door. This grassy patch looked particularly familiar. Wasn't it the same scene as inside the glass wall of the viewing corridor?
"I worked so hard for so long, and all I got is a glass exhibition room?"
Lauren cursed her bad luck and was about to leave when the door slammed shut automatically. At the same time, a low, nasal sound like an animal's breathing came from behind her.
Lauren's scalp tingled and he slowly turned his head. He saw a snake-like creature with two black wings staring at him with a pair of vertical pupils, looking at him ferociously.
This feeling was completely different from what they saw through a glass wall. Moreover, the three foreigners had no experience of facing monsters directly. When they were stared at by a monster, they were so frightened that they almost fell to their knees.
The audience who like to watch the fun and not mind the trouble: Come on! Grab your weapons and fight the monsters!
The monster pounced on him, and Lauren screamed, running for his life in the glass exhibition hall. He broke his knee and the smell of blood stimulated the monster, "Fuck..." Lauren cursed and crawled, his face covered with snot and tears. The night vision goggles on his face were broken and thrown away by him. He rolled all over the mud and grass. When he was about to run to the exit, he was hit by the monster's tail and fell to his knees on the ground with his butt facing up.
The monster was never picky about flesh and blood, and seeing this, it bit Lauren's butt without hesitation.
"ah……"
Lauren's screams resounded through the sky.
Audience: Wow, this foreigner has great acting skills!
***
In the staff dormitory, Chi Yizhen of course heard the scream. He raised his head and asked, "Game, you said before that no one would die, right?"
Game: [Please rest assured, the park will not be burdened with such negative news.]
Chi Yizheng just said "oh" and ignored it, lowered his head and continued to work.
At the same time, Tom, who was exploring the deserted park, heard Lauren's voice. He peeked into the hole connecting the deserted park and the viewing corridor, "Lauren?" He took a few tentative steps inside and saw Lauren being bitten on the butt by a horrible monster, his eyes widened in fear.
Perhaps the monster noticed Tom's movement, it raised its head and looked at Tom, with blood dripping from its open mouth.
Lauren also found Tom. He still had the strength to crawl over and grab Tom's feet. "Tom, help me, help me..."
The sound of heavy footsteps rang out. Tom stared blankly at the monster approaching. Suddenly, he shuddered and came to his senses. "Get out of here, you bitch!" He kicked Lauren away with both feet, then crawled out of the deserted park.
…
Li Chenggong: "This program is well-made! It has a very foreign feel."
Ms. Song: "What's that smell?"
Li Chenggong: "It's all blood and gore, and at crucial moments, they'll definitely go bad, dragging down their teammates, abandoning them. What do they call it? Analyzing human nature."
Ms. Song scoffed, "Human nature is so bad everywhere."
Li Chenggong followed suit and complained, "That's right. There are bad people and there must be good people, right? Then at critical moments, there must be more people who unite and help each other and sacrifice for their ideals and beliefs. Otherwise, how could human civilization continue? Otherwise, how could our country have overcome countless difficulties and obstacles to establish itself back then..."
Ms. Song: "Okay, just focus on the show."
Li Chenggong: “Oh.”
