Chapter 41 Fantasy Amusement Park (23)
Su Yue circled around Cang Zhi three times with a puzzled look on his face. Cang Zhi let him circle around him with a righteous look on his face.
In front of Zhao Shuo and Su Chen, Su Yue didn't dare to ask Cang Zhi directly what he had learned in the few days between the mountain village dungeon and the amusement park dungeon.
Because if these two knew that their "Brother Cang" was actually a puppet, their three views would probably collapse.
However, Su Yue didn't care too much about it. It wasn't a bad thing for Cang Zhi to become a little more interesting.
They waited for a while, and the figure of the park manager came into sight, hurrying along the main road of the amusement park, which was covered with carousels and flower flags.
The manager always seemed to be in a hurry, as if he had something important to do.
Even now, he was just helping them ask the head teacher, which was not a "serious matter" within his job scope, but he was still moving very fast.
After the manager stood in front of them, he quickly picked up the sticky note in his left hand, which was now densely written with memos, thoroughly implementing the principle that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
"The director said you are excellent testers and he hopes to meet you and praise you in person," said the manager.
Su Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, but before he could say anything, the manager continued, "But only one person can go. You can choose a tester to represent you and meet the director."
Of course there was no need to choose. Su Yue followed the manager, while Cang Zhi, Zhao Shuo and Su Chen went back to the staff dormitory to wait for him.
When the manager walked, his shoulders were tense, his neck and head stretched forward subconsciously, and his feet walked very quickly. It was obvious that he always walked in a hurry.
Su Yue followed behind him, looking much more relaxed, even strolling in the garden, but he easily caught up with the manager's footsteps.
There are some unnamed buildings in the amusement park, and you can't tell what kind of amusement facilities they are on the map, but they are still painted in the style of castles, ensuring that no matter where you are in the amusement park, you can immerse yourself in the fairy-tale atmosphere without being distracted.
The manager brought Su Yue and stopped in front of such a building.
.
The building looks like an old-fashioned magic bookstore, with a dark green exterior and slender floor-to-ceiling windows on the sides of the first and second floors. At first glance, it seems that you can see bookshelves, umbrellas, owls and other decorations inside the house, but when you look closely, they become blurry.
There is a red mailbox in front of the building. A thick iron chain is hung from the mailbox to the doorpost on the other side. Under the iron chain hangs a small plastic sign that reads "No Admission for Unauthorized Persons".
If the manager hadn't told him, Su Yue would have thought it was a souvenir shop in the park that hadn't opened yet.
"This is it." The manager pointed to the door of the building. "Ignore the sign. Unlock the chain and go inside to see the director."
He then began to complain again, "I really don't understand. The park isn't even officially open yet, and there are only employees in the park. What's the point of putting up a sign like this?"
Su Yue noticed the manager's position. As a guide, he seemed a little too far away from the building.
Su Yue suddenly had an idea and pointed at the mailbox and asked, "Manager, what's written on it?"
The manager almost rolled his eyes. It was obvious from his expression that he didn't want to pay any attention to Su Yue. But he was the manager and had to follow the instructions in the work manual. He could only squint his eyes and stretch his neck, reluctantly trying to read the mailbox: "What did you say?"
"The words embossed on the mailbox." Su Yue said innocently, reaching out to pull the manager's arm, "Come closer and take a look."
Unexpectedly, the manager reacted strongly to this action. He quickly broke free from Su Yue and took three steps back as if he had been electrocuted. "I'm not going. I'll stay here and help you."
Su Yue did not force him. If he had insisted on holding the manager, the manager would not have been able to break free. He just wanted to test whether the manager was really afraid of this building, or afraid of the director.
Now that he had gotten the answer, Su Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and see for myself."
Although the manager was very afraid of this building, he didn't see any words on the mailbox, and he was a little curious about what Su Yue said. He stood far away, but his attention was clearly on Su Yue, wanting to know what was written on the mailbox.
Su Yue walked to the mailbox and took a look: "Oh, I read it wrong, there seems to be no words on it."
manager:"……"
The manager was so angry that his face turned pale: "Are you sick?!"
Su Yue curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled lazily. A gust of wind blew through his hair. His expression made people suspect that he was deliberately making trouble for the manager who started work at 1 pm and yelled at them to get up at 5 am.
But Su Yue certainly wouldn't admit it. He smiled and waved at the manager: "I'm going upstairs to see the director. Don't bother waiting for me."
manager:"……"
The manager turned around and walked away angrily, like a bullied child.
.
The building was quiet and deserted. There was a front desk, but it was unstaffed. There was only a cartoon sign with a chubby canary in the corner that read "Second Floor, Please."
The platform was filled with various green plants, some of which were vines, some with thin threads, and some with small star-like flowers. A birdcage was hung above the spider plant, and a small bird was standing on the horizontal bar, chirping melodiously.
All these scenes make people feel that the owner of this house must be a person with a great interest in life.
Su Yue waited for a while, but no one came out to take him, so he went up to the second floor by himself through the spiral white narrow staircase.
The second floor is very tidy. There is an office with a wedding photo hanging on the door. A young girl in a white wedding dress is smiling and holding the arm of a handsome young man in a suit. Judging from their clothes and background, it is easy to recognize that they are the couple that Su Yue saw in the video recording in the warehouse last night.
Now that I can see their faces clearly, I can see that the couple looks like a married couple. They are both very gentle and beautiful, with almond-shaped eyes that droop slightly at the corners.
Su Yue knocked on the door, and a gentle voice said from inside, "Come in."
.
Pushing the door open, Su Yue met the director of this fantasy amusement park.
He immediately knew that this must be the director, because unlike other staff members, this director looked much more "human".
His eyes were neither ashen gray like those of the crow-like staff, nor as sickly yellow as those of the mouse-like staff. They were a pair of normal human eyes.
The corners of his eyes are slightly droopy, and he has gentle almond-shaped eyes. Although he looks ten or twenty years older than in the photo, he is indeed that person.
"Hello." The headmaster looked at Su Yue and smiled gently. "What's your name?"
Su Yue thought for a moment and replied, "Leader of the Red Team."
The headmaster didn't mind Su Yue's reluctance to give his name. He smiled and pointed to the chair opposite him, extending his hand politely: "Please sit down."
Su Yue sat down opposite the director without any hesitation.
.
Although the structure of this office is similar to that of an ordinary office in the human world, it looks almost nothing like an ordinary office due to its extremely complicated decorations.
For example, there is a tree stump on the table with a woodpecker model standing on it. Another example is that the walls are covered with gorgeous velvet, which looks like water flowing smoothly from the ceiling.
The director's temperament is very suitable for such an office. He is an elite with a somewhat classical temperament.
His hair was combed meticulously and was a little gray, but his face looked quite young. He was wearing a well-tailored black suit and a burgundy and dark green striped tie, which added a festive atmosphere to this solemn and serious outfit.
The director opened a drawer and took out a medal. This thing could only be described as a medal because, like all the other accessories in the room, it was extremely gorgeous and even looked a little cumbersome.
It was a large wine-red round medal, decorated with patterned pleated cloth on the outside and with two ribbons extending from the bottom. In the middle of the medal was written "Excellent Employee" in beautiful cursive script.
"Thank you for completing the safety test." The headmaster smiled, put his hand on Su Yue's chest and put the medal on him.
The headmaster sighed again. His fake smile was more genuine than this one, and it was obvious that he had been in a lot of trouble recently. "I thought we wouldn't be able to complete a single safety test."
Su Yue calmly moved his position so that the director's hand could only touch his shoulder.
The medal is worn slightly above the heart and slightly below the shoulder.
Then Su Yue asked, "Why do you say that?"
Hearing his question, the director sighed deeply and said, "If you're asking that, I have to first tell you the original intention of why I invested in building this amusement park."
The current situation is like walking to a hidden location, triggering an NPC, and unlocking a new level of world exploration.
Although the rules of the game world are that as long as you can survive successfully, it doesn't matter if you stay at the birth point from the beginning to the end and the exploration level is zero, but as a god who enters the world to find bugs, Su Yue must of course increase the level of exploration of the world as much as possible.
So he smiled, nodded, and said politely, "Please."
.
"I built this amusement park for my beloved wife," the director said. "You should have seen the photo on the door. It's a picture of me and my beloved."
When he talked about his wife, his gentle eyes lit up, and it was obvious that he cherished his wife very much.
Su Yue nodded.
"We originally considered this amusement park our lifelong work and a testament to our love. You've probably noticed that all the rides here are named after something related to 'love,' and I carefully planned every detail because it's a testament to the love between my wife and me."
The director paused for a moment and then continued, "In fact, the amusement park is not only a testimony to our love, but also my commemoration of her."
"Memorial?" Su Yue repeated the word.
"Yeah." The headmaster pursed his lips and nodded quickly. Although he still kept smiling, Su Yue could clearly see the sadness in his eyes.
The director choked up and said, "Because during the construction of the amusement park, my wife passed away in an accidental fire."
"My condolences." Su Yue said after thinking for a while.
Although the other party was an NPC, the sadness in his eyes at this moment was real, so Su Yue's attitude was also sincere.
He also roughly understood why the headmaster should be young but had gray hair.
It is difficult not to be defeated after such a change, and becoming haggard is almost completely inevitable.
"From then on, building an amusement park became my belief, because it was also my lover's wish," the park director said. "I invested a lot of money, and it can be said that this amusement park was a loss-making business for a long time. I didn't even consider the cost-effectiveness at all, as long as it could become a dreamlike love park."
He paused for a long moment, the shadow of the curtain casting a shadow on his face. After a while, the director sighed and said, "But just before the amusement park was about to be completed, one day, all these amusement facilities that we spent countless funds and efforts to build suddenly started to break down one by one."
