Chapter 53 Dream Amusement Park (35)
"What I mean is," Su Yue cleared his throat as Zhao Shuo and Su Chen looked confused, "Even if there really are gods, this seeker's actions wouldn't allow him to be protected by them."
"That's true," Zhao Shuo said. "This man has killed countless people. If God protects him, then he's truly blind."
"So, does God really exist in this world?" Su Chen asked.
This question was too sensitive for Su Yue and Cang Zhi. They looked at each other and changed the subject.
"Azhi, pour me a glass of water." Su Yue picked up the cup.
"Have another chicken leg. It's delicious." Cangzhi picked up another chicken leg and put it into Suyue's bowl.
The perceptive little girl Su Chen: ...?
Fortunately, the honest young man Zhao Shuo did not notice Su Yue and Cang Zhi's guilty conscience. He enthusiastically explained to Su Chen, "There is indeed a rumor that there are gods in this world. After all, there are survival games like this, so it's not surprising that gods really exist."
After a pause, Zhao Shuo continued, "However, since there is no evidence that gods really exist, it is just a rumor."
Su Yue thought to himself, isn’t that right? If the gods always hold up a big banner and shout “Look, I’m a god!”, what would that be?
Generally speaking, gods still have to hide their actions in the world and be reserved so that they appear more impressive.
Su Yue felt a little guilty that they were continuing to talk about this, so he took the initiative to change the subject: "Tomorrow is the fifth day."
"Yeah, I can clear the level tomorrow. I'm on the good side of the boss and Brother Cang again," Zhao Shuo said happily. "A 1,000-point dungeon should give me 1,000 points, so I can get more medicine for my next instinct... Hey, I heard the restaurant in the rest area is really good and the prices are very cheap compared to the items. I'm planning to go there for a meal."
Su Yue had heard of the restaurant in the rest area. In fact, the rest area not only had a restaurant, but also had a wealth of entertainment facilities.
Of course, Su Yue himself had never been there because he had no points and couldn't afford it, but he knew that the entertainment environment in the rest area was good and the prices were low, but even so, there were not many customers.
The main reason is that points are hard to come by, and players don’t even have enough to save their lives, so how can they care about entertainment?
"Is this how you plan to spend your points?" Su Chen asked, "Will the money be enough to buy props?"
Before this game, she also bought some defensive potions to use at the beginning, which helped her avoid the mechanical failure of the amusement facilities at the beginning.
Players who often play games have this common sense: fill up all kinds of status-enhancing buffs before the game starts.
"Even if I bought all the props, I still wouldn't be able to survive." Zhao Shuo said, "I've let it go now. It's not bad to enjoy life."
Just as Zhao Shuo finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
There were three knocks of "Knock, knock, knock", and then the man pushed the door open and came in without waiting for them to answer.
It turned out to be the very busy manager.
.
In this amusement park, all employees perform their duties, as if it were a well-set procedure, and there is never any situation of employees interfering with each other's positions.
This workaholic manager always stayed in the yard of the staff dormitory, yelling at them to come down to work with a loudspeaker. This was the first time he walked into the dormitory building, which was a bit strange.
The manager himself didn't think there was anything strange about it. He was holding the thick worksheet in his hand, with only one page left that had not been filled in.
He picked up the speaker and turned on the switch. A sharp electric sound came from the loudspeaker of the low-quality speaker.
Su Yue glanced at the manager.
manager:"……"
The manager silently turned off the speaker.
"Tomorrow's safety test doesn't require all testers, so we're recruiting two testers now. After the test is completed, the amusement park will be ready for opening!" the manager said. "Does anyone here volunteer?"
If it were other players, they would have to fight in this stage. The safety test is the key to death. If they can avoid participating, they will of course not participate. It is estimated that in the end, the two most unlucky people will be pushed out.
But for their four-member group, there is no such trouble.
Su Yue was of course planning for him and Cang Zhi to participate in the test, but before agreeing, he still asked the manager as a matter of routine: "Which amusement park attraction are we participating in the test this time?"
"Princess Castle Hotel." The manager lowered his head and wrote quickly on the form.
"The test will last two nights. You will all stay there tonight and tomorrow night. If neither of you pass the test tonight, we'll have to replace you with two new people tomorrow."
It turned out to be the Princess Castle Hotel.
They had always wanted to visit the place, but could never get in.
This is truly the so-called searching high and low for something in vain, yet finally finding it without any effort.
Su Yue pointed at Cang Zhi and said, "This person will take part in the safety test with me."
"Okay, I hope you won't let me down." The manager said, taking out two stickers from his pocket, and with two "snap" sounds, he gave one to Su Yue and Cang Zhi, one each, and put them on their chests. "I'll come pick you up after the hotel opens, but before that—"
The manager suddenly changed the subject: "We failed today's safety test, so you're being punished by cleaning the warehouse! Stop standing there like idiots! Get to the warehouse! What are you dawdling for?"
Su Yue: "..."
There's no way to escape the warehouse, right?
.
Su Yue is still thinking about his hidden mission: to help the headmaster fulfill his dream, but he has no idea about this hidden mission at the moment.
There were almost no clues about the director, either in the amusement facilities or in the warehouse.
There are only some things that resemble background stories in the warehouse, and the NPCs' faces change when they mention the director.
The only chance to explore the hidden mission is to meet with the headmaster.
On the way to the warehouse, Su Yue tentatively asked the manager if he could help them find the headmaster again.
According to the rules of the "Employee Handbook", managers are supposed to help testers complete their requests. The last time Su Yue went to see the principal, it was the manager who helped him, but this time the manager refused.
"The director is busy today and doesn't have time to see guests!" the manager said. "If you pass the safety test, I can make some concessions for you. But you didn't pass the safety test today. The director must be very annoyed to see you, so how can he ask for your help?"
It seems that there are conditions for meeting the principal, which is to pass the safety test on that day.
However, there are only one day and two nights left before the end of the mission, and the only safety test left is the Princess Castle Hotel.
Although according to the manager, every safe night spent in the Castle Hotel is considered a completed safety test, there are only two opportunities to meet the director at most, and it is uncertain to what extent clues can be uncovered.
But there is no way around it. If he wants to pass the safety test, no one can die on the same day. However, Su Yue's strength is severely limited in the game. He can only use his physical strength and intelligence, which have nothing to do with his identity as a "god". It is impossible for him to save everyone.
Fortunately, Su Yue and Cang Zhi will participate in the final round of security testing, so they will definitely pass.
With two chances left to meet the principal, Su Yue hopes his luck will be better.
.
Su Yue and Cang Zhi once again came to the familiar warehouse under the guidance of the manager.
As night fell and the stars twinkled, I could vaguely see the light of a stream passing through the night sky, and the leaves of the ivy trembled slightly in the wind. There was actually a vague sense of romance.
This romance disappeared after meeting the deputy manager in charge of the warehouse.
The deputy manager in charge of the warehouse looked at them as if they had seen a ghost, glaring at them with rat-like eyes: "Get out! All of you get out!"
"We failed the safety test and were asked to come here to tidy up the warehouse." Su Yue looked innocent.
"Then you've finished packing now! Go! Go!" The deputy manager looked like he was about to collapse.
In recent days, the deputy manager has seen this young couple every day. Not only do they slack off while tidying up the warehouse, but they also show their affection in front of him, which is very unsatisfying.
But the handsome white-haired boy in the couple who looked prettier said innocently, "But what if we don't complete our work seriously? If the manager knew you didn't want us to work, he wouldn't be happy, right?"
He then opened the employee handbook and pointed to a clause in it for the deputy manager to read:
-[Subordinate employees must complete the work assigned by their superiors to the best of their ability and must not be passive, negligent, or lip-service.]
Deputy Manager: “…”
The deputy manager struggled for a long time, then walked to the box for drawing warehouse numbers with an expressionless face and quickly drew one.
When he took out the signature paper, his face was full of rejection, as if if he didn't look at the number on it, the number would disappear.
This time they drew Warehouse No. 521, which was the warehouse where the vengeful ghost was. It was a bad thing for others, but for Su Yue, who was eager to complete the main task, it was good luck.
——
Su Yue and Cang Zhi once again took the elevator to the underground.
Su Yue was still the same as before, half leaning on the elevator railing, his left hand clasping his right hand, staring at the dark elevator shaft in a trance.
He had been busy until recently, so he hadn't thought too much about it. But now that he had some free time, he couldn't help but start to ponder.
In front of him was a screen showing information about Supervisor Z, his predecessor.
He probably triggered the alarm two or three times today at the racetrack.
Based on the previous experience in the mountain village dungeon, Cang Zhi should have sent him several messages to confirm the situation.
But until now the message screen is empty.
.
This is actually not a big deal. First of all, Su Yue and Cang Zhi have already broken up peacefully and are just ordinary colleagues. Secondly, didn’t they cooperate in the same way with the previous supervisor?
Again, wouldn’t it be troublesome if Cang Zhi really asked him about everything?
But Su Yue inexplicably cared about it.
I clearly sent you a message before, but now I haven't. It's really annoying. Even if you're a colleague, you shouldn't change so suddenly. It's really annoying.
Did you decide to keep your distance after meeting?
No matter how Su Yue thought about it, he felt that it was unnecessary, right? But Cang Zhi didn't come to see him the day before he left, so it seemed that he didn't want to bother with him anymore.
But judging by my ex-boyfriend's style, he might have just realized it was unnecessary and stopped posting. He never does anything meaningless.
As for emotions, Cang Zhi has never really cared about other people's emotions because he is naturally slow.
.
Su Yue thought idly. The only sound in the descending elevator was the rustle of running rails, making everything else seem even quieter. Occasionally, a spark of fire flashed in the distance, like a shooting star in the night sky.
"You are in a daze. Is there something wrong?" Cang Zhi suddenly asked from the side.
