Chapter 218 Fantasy Land: Hundred Flowers Garden
Dear passengers, the train will enter the Land of Fantasy in fifteen minutes. During this time, please check the rules and regulations and the tour map on the back of your seat.
After being reminded by the broadcast, many people withdrew their eyes from the window and found that there was a pocket on the back of the seat, just like the high-speed rail seat, with two color pictures inserted in it.
Lu Siqi and Zhang Le'en pulled out the two colorful pictures and found that one of them was the rules of riding, with several items written on it.
“1. Passengers can only get on and off at one station per day;
2. The scenery you see from the window is the actual scenery of the station. However, please be careful to listen to the announcement when getting off the bus and say the correct station name. Please make sure the station name is consistent with the announcement, otherwise you may end up in an unexpected place.
3. If you see someone selling items through a window, please do not trade with them. Beware of scams. If you have already traded with them and the situation becomes unresolved, please call the park's customer service hotline immediately.
4. Please recognize the faces of passengers on the train. If a stranger asks you to take him/her on board, please refuse decisively.
5. Snacks and drinks on the train are available at any time for a fee, but please do not take food from tourist attractions. If you insist on taking it, good luck.
After reading the lengthy list of ride rules, Lu Siqi was a bit dumbfounded. "Why do I feel like I've been transported to an infinite world? Is the infinite flow so popular lately that even the amusement park is trying to catch on? With the amusement park's technology, it would be easy to create a truly realistic infinite horror replica!" She turned to Zhang Le'en, eager to try. "Should we try breaking the rules? It should be exciting! We can experience the plot of a real horror movie!"
Zhang Le'en, who was flipping through the tourist map while listening to her, shook his head. "You're overthinking it. There's no room for you to do anything. Here, choose which stop we're going to get off at."
Yes, you can only choose one scenic spot to visit on this bus!
While the two of them were discussing, other tourists also saw the bus rules and tour map, but they did not realize that the bus rules seen by tourists of different ages were different.
What the young people saw was the same as what Lu Siqi and Zhang Le'en saw, while the rules of riding that the elderly and children saw were much clearer.
He Liqing is taking her daughter He Xiaoxiao to identify the rules, "...listen to the announcement when getting off the bus and say the station name accurately. It doesn't matter if you say it wrong, you will be taken to another place for a new adventure;
3. If someone is trying to sell items through the window, or after you get off the bus, do not trust them. They are unscrupulous vendors who have sneaked in. Report them immediately by phone.
4. Passengers who get off the bus have two hours to explore. Every genuine passenger can re-board the bus with the QR code. If someone asks you to take them back on the bus, they must be someone who sneaked in from outside and evaded the fare. Please ignore them..."
He Liqing was stunned after reading the rules. "I didn't realize there were so many people sneaking into the park without paying admission! They even had to issue a notice to warn tourists."
Sitting behind the mother and daughter were Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Lin. They laughed and said, "With such a large park and tens of thousands of visitors coming in and out every day, the management costs must be very high. It's normal for some people to sneak in. I remember there was a report in the news before about someone who evaded the entrance fee by climbing over the wall to enter the zoo and ended up being bitten by a tiger. Hey, the ticket is only a few dollars. There are always people who think they are clever and can get a good deal, but in the end they suffer a great loss."
He Liqing nodded in agreement.
Xu Shengkai, who was sitting diagonally in front of them, was looking through a tourist map, which was a map of the fantasy land.
As can be seen from the map, Fantasy Land is the last piece of land contracted by the park. It is right behind the Sky Aquarium and the church headquarters, separated by several rows of trees and a wall.
The railway tracks form a circle and run through this land of more than 1,000 acres. There is a station at regular intervals. The open stations are clearly marked with their names, scenery, and special attractions, while the undeveloped stations are shrouded in fog, and you can't see what's inside. However, the train will also circle along the tracks and return to the starting station.
There are three sites currently under development, the first one is called Baihuayuan.
As the name suggests, this is a garden full of various flowers. According to the introduction, it is about the size of a standard football field. After entering, you can find a hundred kinds of flowers that bloom brilliantly in different seasons, and all kinds of unexpected surprises are waiting for tourists.
"Yeah, my camera can come in handy." Xu Shengkai usually likes to take pictures of flowers and plants, but when he saw the line of words below, he was completely stunned.
"What? Fighting monsters again..." He sighed bitterly. Lately, to earn enough points for the "Book Tour" immersive mode, he'd been fighting monsters almost every time he arrived at the park. He'd been fighting monsters until he was sick of it. So he resolutely crossed out this option.
"I can only get off at one stop a day, so I'd better go to another stop. I'll save this for now and check out other people's travel experiences when I get back."
Xu Shengkai made the decision happily.
Dear visitors, we have arrived at the Land of Fantasy. The first stop ahead is the Hundred Flowers Garden.
After comparing, Lu Siqi and Zhang Le'en decided to go one by one and go to the first stop, Baihua Garden.
As soon as they arrived at the stop, the two got off the bus and shouted the three words "Hundred Garden" in accordance with the rules.
The car door opened and closed, but the scenery inside and outside could be seen through the window. The tourists on the car saw a translucent wall behind the station, surrounding a large garden. They could vaguely see colorful flowers inside, and a few red apricot branches poked out of the wall, swaying in the wind, as if greeting them.
As soon as Lu Siqi and Zhang Le'en got out of the car, they smelled a strong floral fragrance in the air. Generally speaking, a floral fragrance that is too strong would become smelly and even nauseating, but this fragrance coming from the flower garden was different. It was very fragrant, but just the right amount, making people feel happy and comfortable both physically and mentally.
The two took a deep breath and couldn't wait to walk down the platform steps and into the Hundred Flowers Garden.
Even though they had seen many beautiful scenery in the Fantasy Park, everything in the Hundred Flowers Garden still made their eyes light up.
Flowers, flowers everywhere! Flowers that bloomed more arrogantly than green leaves were everywhere. Lu Siqi also saw many rare varieties. There were no flower pots or enclosures, and they all grew freely on the ground!
Vines proudly bloom on walls and branches, herbs dance quietly in the wind, and woody plants grow into big trees, with all the flower buds gracefully blooming on the treetops, like a giant flower umbrella.
The flower shapes are also rich and varied, including complete flowers, incomplete flowers, symmetrical flowers, asymmetrical flowers, bisexual flowers... so many that the two of them can't tell which one is which.
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!" Lu Siqi rushed over. She originally thought that these were all holographic effects, but when she looked closer, she saw that the petals were wet, as if the morning dew had not yet dried up. They felt soft and delicate, and the roots were still covered with soil. It was impossible to tell whether they were real or holographic. They were too real, and even the veins of each leaf were completely different.
Zhang Le'en said, "It should be the holographic effect combined with the real flowers! Anyway, we can't tell them apart, so let's just have fun."
Lu Siqi thought so too, and posed for a few times so that Zhang Le'en could take some beautiful photos of her. Most of the tourists who came in after them also raised their phones to take pictures, treating this place as another photo-taking holy place.
Zhang Le'en looked at Lu Siqi, who was walking in the flowers, with her chest and below completely covered by flowers, and was still happily posing. He reminded her not to run too fast while taking videos and photos.
Just after he took several satisfactory photos, a vicious voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Your girlfriend has betrayed you. She cheated on you!"
Zhang Le'en frowned and looked around, but saw nothing. He almost thought it was an auditory hallucination and continued taking pictures. But the voice sounded again, "Your girlfriend betrayed you. She's secretly cursing you in her heart!"
Zhang Le'en frowned and replied, "You're wrong. She's not my girlfriend, she's my lover."
After he finished speaking, the voice seemed to pause, and then began to criticize, "Your lover betrayed you, she..."
This time, Zhang Le'en finally discovered the clue. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and punched out. A translucent object was knocked to the ground by his punch. It turned out to be a creature that could highly mimic like a chameleon, and it had been lying on a flower and saying bad things.
Now its true form is revealed, a strange creature with a mouse head, a caterpillar body and moth wings.
"Huh? Is this the bad-mouthing bug?" Lu Siqi leaned over to take a look. "How disgusting."
Zhang Le'en: "Monsters are all disgusting." He kicked the monster to death. At the same time, the mobile phone APP vibrated and a message came.
[Congratulations on killing the Badmouth, a special monster in the Hundred Flower Garden. You get +1 point and +1 Hundred Flower Fragment. If you have 10 or more Hundred Flower Fragments, you can participate in the Hundred Flower Banquet.]
They had seen the tour map and knew before coming in that there was a kind of badmouthing bug in the Hundred Flowers Garden that specialized in speaking ill of others. The description in the guide was that this monster had low combat power, even weaker than a level 1 monster, and could even crush an ordinary person with one foot. However, it specialized in doing bad things like sowing discord, so once encountered, no need to hold back, just kill, kill, kill!
While they were checking their phones, they saw other tourists killing some bad-talkers and getting some points and Hundred Flowers Fragments. As they walked in, they heard other tourists complaining.
"Hey, I didn't expect to have to fight monsters here!"
"Hahaha, everyone knows that Fantasy Park is actually a monster-hunting park. I think the director developed so many projects just for us to fight monsters."
"This thing is easy to deal with, but it's annoying. If you don't want to deal with it, just put on headphones and listen to music. It's quite convenient. Anyway, they can't get close to us."
Lu Siqi and Zhang Le'en were ranked above 5,000 after all, so they quickly collected twenty Hundred Flowers Fragments and entered the center of the Hundred Flowers Garden. There was another layer of barrier there, which was quite different from the surrounding area. As soon as she entered, Lu Siqi exclaimed, she felt as if she had come to the Giant Garden.
All the flowers expanded dozens of times. She jumped hard and rolled into the flowers. The fragrance made her sneeze.
Zhang Le'en jumped onto a leaf and steadied himself to hold onto a flower branch.
The sky in front of them had changed at some point, and the pink sky made their faces look rosier. They jumped around on the flowers, wishing they had a video camera to follow them the whole time.
After playing and laughing for a while, the sky in front of Lu Siqi suddenly darkened. She raised her head in a daze and her breath caught.
In front of her, a very tall woman appeared, taller than Zhang Le'en who was 1.8 meters tall. She was wearing a bright red palace dress with wide sleeves embroidered with golden peonies. Her long black hair was combed into a noble bun with pink peonies and golden hairpins inserted in it. Her face was perfectly made-up, and her eyes under the red flower ornaments were tender and heroic, with a unique charm that could not be ignored.
Lu Siqi was undoubtedly stunned.
The beautiful woman took Lu Siqi's hand and said to her, "Hello, I am Zhu Mudan, today's host of the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Would you like to dance with me?"
Lu Siqi was stunned and speechless, but this graceful and elegant beauty in ancient costume just assumed that she agreed, and smiled as she hugged her and danced on the huge flower.
While dancing, she took off the pink peony on her head and gently swept it over Lu Siqi. In an instant, Lu Siqi's long-sleeved trousers convenient for traveling turned into a pink wide-sleeved palace dress. The two danced on the flowers, like a painting from a thousand years ago coming to life.
Zhang Le'en was surprised at first and paused for a moment. But when he saw Lu Siqi being hugged by the beauty with a silly smile on his face and his saliva about to flow out, he was so happy that he immediately took out his mobile phone to record his lover's silly look.
During the recording, the mobile app issued a reminder, "Dear visitors, you currently only have 20 Hundred Flower Fragments, and the Hundred Flower Dance experience lasts only five minutes. Please defeat more Bad Talkers to win more time for the Hundred Flower Dance!"
So this has to be paid for! It's just that the payment is based on the number of Badmouths you kill.
Come to think of it, how could such an experience be completely free?
Zhang Le'en typed and asked, and found that paying in RMB was not an option. He glanced at Lu Siqi, who looked happy, shrugged helplessly, and went out to buy time by beating up badmouthing her.
