Chapter 52 Amusement Park (6)
=======
The next level that Yi Han entered was called "Ghost Ship". After entering, he could feel the whole scene shaking slightly, as if he was really on a ship on the sea.
The background of this level seems to be a wrecked ship that mysteriously disappeared in the sea. Players only need to find the log records scattered in various rooms and restore the truth of the matter.
Yi Han held the weapon in both hands and quickly swept all the rooms. It must be said that this small escape game within the big escape game was very delicately arranged. Some clues were placed in more conspicuous places, and a few were hidden in secluded places. There was the sound of rushing water all around, and in the dark cabins and corridor corners, there were many dead bodies of crew members lying.
The corpse is naturally played by an NPC, who will secretly stand up and attack the player after passing by. But Yi Han is not an ordinary player. He usually swings the pot and smashes the NPC as soon as he sees it. The clues in this level are very easy to find, and he is too lazy to force the NPC to explain. He just brushes the points all the way and soon collects all the logs.
After coming out of the "Ghost Ship", Yi Han experienced seven/eight haunted house scenes, including the "Ghost Bride", "Ghost Opera House", "Death Photo Studio", etc.
These scenes all have their own background stories, and some of the scares inside are quite interesting. Yi Han feels that if he can maintain this quality, and move this haunted house to the real world to open a chain of escape room stores, he should be able to make a lot of money.
After experiencing all the rooms in the "Haunted House Adventure", Yi Han walked out of the corridor contentedly with more than 1,000 points.
The receptionist had a resentful look on his face and handed him the photo taken after clearing the level.
In the photo, the cute girl is dragging a chain in her hand, standing in a dimly lit corridor. In the background, the doors on both sides of the corridor are all open, and wigs, severed hands, and various bloody props are scattered at the door...
I always feel like it's a promotional poster for a horror movie, and Yi Han is the villain and murderer who looks innocent but is actually a pervert.
After leaving the haunted house, Yi Han took Jian Lin to play a few less challenging activities, such as the carousel and pirate ship.
Although it is called a "brutal mode", it is probably only brutal in the number of ghosts that come to harass him and the excitement of the level itself. For example, every NPC in the ghost ship scene will stand up and attack him, and the speed on the carousel almost broke his neck... But with Yi Han's current strength, he has no pressure against most of the ghosts in the two-star copy. Occasionally, there are NPCs with enhanced strange attributes that will make him worry, but most of the time, the NPCs are scared by him and run away.
By nearly midnight, the two of them had experienced all five rides needed to leave the park. The park is very large and it would take a long time to enjoy all of them, so there was no rush.
Yi Han brought Jian Lin to the lakeside villa area, which was a place provided by the system for tourists to rent and rest. After calculating the time, Yi Han paid for three days of rent first, and the two entered the villa and slept comfortably for a night.
The next morning, a service NPC came knocking on the door.
The rent for this kind of small villa is very expensive. Yi Han chose the one with normal specifications suitable for 2-3 people, but it still costs several hundred points a day, and the only free service is breakfast in the morning.
It was Jian Lin who got up to open the door for the NPC. The NPC was peeking around and acting very cautiously, which made Jian Lin very puzzled.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" After taking the plate, Jian Lin asked when he saw that the other party didn't want to leave.
"Oh, that girl in your team, is she awake yet? Someone asked us to deliver something to her..." The NPC hesitated.
"?" Jian Lin turned his head to look inside the house. After receiving a signal, he said to the NPC, "Then give me the things first, and I'll give them to him."
The NPC took out a large box of chocolates from his inventory. "That person said that this was a teammate of the girl's in the novice level, and he gave this to her as an apology."
Xiaojiu didn't know that Yi Han had peeked at the screen on the Ghost Forum, and thought that he didn't know his name.
"Okay, I'll give it to her." Jian Lin was stunned for a moment, then took it. Just as he was about to close the door, he saw the NPC took out a large box of star candies, a small lemon cake, and a cup of still hot milk tea.
"Wait, wait, there are these. They were given to me by a female player who lives in the house next door. She said she wanted to invite you to watch the float fireworks show tonight."
"Okay..." Jian Lin held breakfast in one hand and chocolate in the other. He had no hands to take it, so the NPC had to pile the sugar, cake and milk tea into his arms.
"Is there anything else?" Jian Lin said while holding a pile of things.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." The NPC who was still looking into the house with curiosity heard the slight sound of the quilt being lifted in the house. He quickly waved his hands and shook his head, turned around and ran away in fear.
Jian Lin felt strange. He closed the door with his elbow with difficulty and went back to the house carrying the food.
Yi Han was actually awake at this time, but perhaps because of the overly relaxing atmosphere in the amusement park, he stayed in bed for once and was now curled up in the quilt playing with Jian Lin's mobile phone.
Seeing the pile of things sent by the NPC, he only glanced at them and said, "Keep the breakfast arranged by the system and throw away the rest."
But as soon as he said this, he realized that this was no longer the real world, and he was stunned for a moment.
Because he had been maliciously fed strange things when he was a child, although he did not fall for it at that time, Yi Han never liked to eat things given by others afterwards... But now he is not in the real world, and the witch and Xiaojiu are not the kind of people who would do such things. Under the supervision of the system, this dangerous escape game is actually safer than the real world. It has to be said that it is a bit ironic.
"Well... leave it aside for now. You can eat it if you like. I don't like sweet things." Yi Han sighed and changed his tone.
The candy cakes and milk tea sent by the witch were just ordinary snacks. But the chocolate from Xiaojiu was different, and seemed to be a special food with a buff effect.
【Four-leaf Clover Chocolate with Liquor Filling】
【Quality: Grade C】
【Condition: Brand new】
[Explanation: Every time you eat one, you will have a layer of tipsy effect, which will increase your mood and luck a little bit.]
The system is usually very precise in its wording when describing the effects of items. If it says "a little bit", it probably really is a little bit. Eating a whole box is like picking up a dollar while walking. This is more in line with its C-grade quality and its positioning of "looks good and tastes good but is useless, and is a suitable gift for girls".
Yi Han really didn't like this kind of sweet snack, but Jian Lin liked it, so the box of chocolates was given to him. But it was still early, so the two of them simply washed up and had breakfast first.
Yi Han ate while looking at Jian Lin's phone. As he was in a checkpoint, he could not open the forum and the mall. And because Jian Lin was successfully promoted, the "underground supermarket" work group was also withdrawn by the system. Now in his notification bar, there are a total of five work locations to choose from. Jian Lin handed the phone to Yi Han just now, just to ask Yi Han to help him see which checkpoint to work in after the promotion.
Yi Han actually recognized one of the names of these five levels: "Hot Spring Baths". The European Emperor is still the European Emperor. He can even be assigned to such a resort when he is randomly assigned a work location.
While eating breakfast, Yi Han briefly told him about the working environment of the hot spring level and the NPC colleagues he might meet. In fact, the players and ghosts he met in that level were all pretty good... Due to the character value screening rules, there would not be employees with particularly bad character and temperament in normal levels. At that time, the NPC Xiaojiu was there with his female ghost partner, but later Xiaojiu was promoted and left. There should only be a couple of ghosts, a family of three ghosts, and a skinny ghost who was on duty and good at disguise.
Except for the "hot spring bath" that Yi Han had been to, he didn't know the other four levels proposed by the system. If we only analyze it based on the name, the hot spring bath is indeed the best choice, after all, the environment is good. Yi Han roughly expressed his opinion, and then returned the phone to him, letting him choose by himself, after all, Yi Han is not his real master.
After a little hesitation, Jian Lin finally chose the hot spring bathhouse that Yi Han had been to as his next workplace. His reason was not because he thought the environment there was good, but because it was the only difficult level among the five choices.
Jian Lin seemed to be quite anxious to improve his strength. This could be seen from the fact that during his rest time, he spent almost all his time on work and training, except for eating and sleeping.
“Actually, there’s no need to force yourself. Just take it slow.” Yi Han saw his anxiety, hesitated for a moment, and then thought about the wording before comforting him.
It is not easy to resurrect from a ghost to a human, but if you make steady progress, you will succeed one day. With Yi Han's current strength, it is basically no problem for him to protect the two of them when he is a player, and when Jian Lin is on duty at the level, he can scare the players easily because he has the Book of Fear. The two of them have made stable progress in their respective levels. Jian Lin has been putting a lot of pressure on himself, which may have the opposite effect.
"Compared to you, I'm too weak. If I don't get stronger quickly, I'll be a drag." Jian Lin lowered his eyes and ate rice with chopsticks. "I can't always be taken care of by you. I have nothing but a little luck."
It's not all bad...
Yi Han felt that he should refute it, but after thinking for a long time, he could only think of one sentence, "Don't you still help me drive the bumper car?"... But this sentence probably wouldn't have any comforting effect at all, so he had to hold it back.
Now if the endless stairs in their previous life were counted, this was actually the fifth level they had experienced together. However, in the process of passing the level, Yi Han did not seem to regard him as a capable assistant who could help him.
This is not actually Jian Lin's problem. Today's Jian Lin is no longer the weak chicken who was bullied in the mental hospital without any ability to fight back. Yi Han didn't notice it before, but now he finds that Jian Lin's body has become much stronger than when they first met. His once very thin arms now have some tight muscles, which he gained by participating in countless combat training levels. If he were to catch ghosts with his bare hands now, it should not be a problem.
But in the actual clearance process, Yi Han still rarely asked him for help, and only thought of him when rolling dice or touching boxes. This was probably the reason why he always felt anxious.
Yi Han seemed to have figured this out in a trance, but in his independent life over the years, not relying on anyone's help and getting what he wanted by his own strength no matter how difficult it was had become a habit in his subconscious mind - not to mention Jian Lin, the silly kid whom he classified as "someone I have to protect", even if Yi Han was given an invincible and powerful boss now, he would probably habitually bear everything alone.
Both of them fell into silence and finished their meal. After digesting the food a little, they returned to the park and continued to challenge the levels.
Jian Lin was already familiar with Yi Han's style of trying to get every point, so he actively helped him search for treasures and draw rewards.
In the Mirror House level, the two got a recipe: Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs.
Its effect is to increase the memory of the eater, an effect that should be very useful in certain puzzle levels. Yi Han immediately bought the ingredients, made a portion, and placed it in a fresh-keeping box in the inventory for later use.
The two of them progressed very quickly. At the end of the day, they had walked through the entire park, took a thick stack of photos, and earned a lot of points.
At dusk, Yi Han stood in front of the only remaining water rafting gate next to the artificial lake.
The entrance and exit of this level is separated from the two people's residence by a whole winding artificial lake. Next to the exit is the trading street in the park. There are many snacks and gift shops along the street. The evening float and fireworks show takes place here.
There was still more than an hour before the performance began and the witch girl had not arrived yet. Yi Han planned to take this opportunity to pass this last level and complete a set of photos.
The NPC at the entrance of the water rafting turned pale when he saw the cute girl killer who had been discussed in the work group for two days approaching.
Now, their place is the only level that has not been destroyed. All other levels have been destroyed by this cute girl. No one survives wherever she goes. There were more than 200 active people in the work group the day before, but now there are only a few of them and some colleagues who do service work.
Yi Han wanted to go in, and the NPC who was receiving him was powerless to stop him. He could only send a sad message in the group chat: "She... is coming in. Take care, everyone..."
The other staff members were not in the mood to respond. They all had only one thought: "Resistance is definitely useless, so we should quickly choose a painless death for ourselves."
The only NPC who wasn't sighing in this level was Xiaojiu.
Water rafting was where he was on duty, and after learning that the cute girl boss was going to clear every level, he waited the whole day, and finally saw anyone at night.
The place where Xiaojiu was lying in ambush was a bend in the rafting route. His enhanced ability happened to be related to water, and he had frightened many people in this amusement project full of water.
He will not go easy on Yi Han. Although he wants to reconcile with him, he will still go all out in the confrontation. This is the respect for his opponent.
From a distance, Xiaojiu saw Yi Han and his friends coming by boat.
The system naturally wouldn't provide players with life jackets in the level, so Yi Han was still dressed the same way he entered the park, with his partner sitting next to him.
"...Wait, what are they eating?" Xiaojiu hid in the grass by the lake and blinked hard.
The cute girl was holding the chocolate he bought, and the stinky man next to the cute girl actually picked up a chocolate and put it in his mouth to eat.
Xiaojiu: Damn!!!!!!
--------------------
Xiaojiu: I spent a lot of money to buy it for you! Damn it!

My dears, the following passage was posted on 2020-8-19 14:14:27.
Yesterday, a reader was blocked by the website's anti-theft function and could not read the new chapter, so he came back to give this article a negative review, accusing the author of setting up an unreasonable anti-theft function. Because some readers have mentioned the problem of not being able to see the latest chapter after purchasing the skipped chapter, and I accepted the suggestions of my dears and have lowered the anti-theft ratio twice~
The reader who gave negative comments yesterday did so because his subscription rate was only 15% (he only bought the 4 chapters that were missed on the pirated website). I really can't adjust this anymore, so there is no way.
Dear readers, please don’t swear for me when you see similar negative ratings. You will be reported. If you report too much, your account will be blocked, and you will be scolded again (after being scolded, this negative reader came back to the article to continue to negatively rate, and even changed her nickname to the ID of the genuine reader who scolded her, pretending to be the other party and scolding herself...) Everyone should just talk to reason in a friendly manner. I am also very sad to see my baby being scolded, but the author cannot delete the negative ratings. Everyone must protect themselves. Thank you very much for speaking up for me, dears, you are so nice~
