As Yin Zhu watched the woman's retreating figure, she suddenly felt a bit cheated: Otherwise, why would this colleague run away so fast? It was as if a cheetah was chasing her for cough syrup.
Looking back at the elderly people in the classical garden, they were still peacefully going about their lives, as if nothing was wrong.
Just in case, Yin Zhu found Grandma Yan, who was playing croquet on a lawn in the classical garden: "Yan Zihan, are there any precautions to take in the classical garden? I'm here today to take care of you after handing over to my colleagues."
Grandma Yan glanced at Yin Zhu, then continued playing her ball, reminding her, "The activity center has its own rules, and the classical garden has its own rules."
Even classical gardens have rules.
Yin Zhu suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, because she had never even considered this possibility since arriving here.
My mental capacity seems to be worse than yesterday. It's not just that I can't remember things in the morning; I'm also not as quick to react as I used to when I encounter many things.
After quickly circling the garden, Yin Zhu finally spotted a small sign next to a pavilion.
【Precautions for using classic gardens】
[1. Do not damage the flowers, plants, or trees. This area is for normal activities only.]
2. Do not disturb others with noise; loud noise will affect the activities of others.
3. Animals are not allowed in the park; you will be responsible for any consequences.
Phew, thankfully there aren't many rules. If there were dozens, Yin Zhu would probably have to use her phone to take pictures to save her increasingly fading brain.
The rules are all very reasonable—to prevent others from causing damage, shouting, closing doors, or unleashing dogs, thus ensuring the safety of both the venue and the elderly, saving half the trouble.
How could that colleague have run so fast with this content?
Just as Yin Zhu was wondering what was going on, she suddenly heard a shout: "Ah—badminton—"
Turning around, I saw that an old man and others had gotten their badminton shuttlecock stuck in a tree.
Alright, it's time for me to step in again.
Unexpectedly, before Yin Zhu could even walk over, a vine suddenly stretched out from the grass, wrapped around the old man, and pulled him directly into the ground. During this time, the old man tried to struggle, but to no avail.
A deathly silence fell over the crowd.
At this moment, Yin Zhu noticed that everyone was covering their mouths, afraid that they would be discovered by the strange plant.
...
"The activity center wasn't this dangerous before!"
"No wonder that old lady ran so fast! I would have run too! It's too dangerous!"
"By the way, was Yin Zhu scammed?"
"ah?"
"I'm afraid Yin Zhu can only leave if the staff at the activity center take the initiative to hand over the duties."
"No wonder the staff at the activity center are reluctant to communicate with others. They're doing just fine over there, so who would want to come here? But the people here are willing to communicate. They finally have a chance to run around, so they have to make the most of it."
"Normal conversation volume won't trigger any danger, it's just that the old man's voice was too loud."
"I think the clause about harming flowers, plants, and trees also has its pitfalls."
"Actually, we can reinterpret the rules of classical gardens, which are: you cannot directly harm the plants, you cannot cause noise to harm the plants, and you cannot cause indirect harm to the plants."
"So if you bring a rabbit in, and the rabbit nibbles on the grass, the punishment will ultimately fall on the owner."
"This classical garden feels a bit like the last instance; both have dangerous green plants. Is this some kind of hidden agenda?"
"I understand. It's not okay to say you don't like vegetables."
"What? The Unspeakable is also a meat lover? Hahahaha, the end of vegetarians has come!"
"Wake up! Humans are also considered meat!"
On the live stream screen, Yin Zhu began taking care of the elderly within the rules. After watching for a while, the comments were unsurprising, and the viewers started chatting casually. Soon, they reached a key discussion:
Which country do you think will be the first to open its borders?
"Dragon Kingdom!"
"Dragon Kingdom +1"
"Dragon Kingdom +2"
"Black Lion Country, they're making pretty fast progress. It seems like Yin Zhu's side is still completely clueless."
Why do people always seem to be letting their own country down?
"I just think that blind confidence is not good. What if Yin Zhu isn't the first to pass the level? Wouldn't you all criticize her to death? Ji Liao brought glory to the country several times before, but as soon as he died, a bunch of people criticized him for not keeping up... Did he want to die?"
"Everyone, calm down Σ( ° △ °|||)︴ Don't argue."
“I think he’s right. Ji Liao was my high school classmate. I was very excited when he won glory for the country, and I was particularly sad when he died. But when I searched online, I found that many people were cursing him. Even though the country arrested a lot of people who insulted martyrs, how many days could they be detained?”
"Does anyone still remember Chen Xiaobao? The chosen one who cleared the 'Northern Train' dungeon?"
"I remember, but in the later 'Love Hospital' instance, he was killed by the doctor who was following him because he didn't pay attention to closing the door. After that, several chosen ones from the Dragon Kingdom died due to various problems, until Ji Liao was chosen and the game was finally completed."
"Some people shouldn't act like they're entitled to be selected for the Strange Tales instance just because they think their brains are full of nonsense about the cycle of life and that they didn't exist. They're not even worth a hair on the pile of Five Virtues!"
"666, how come they can swear so well without censoring any words?"
"What did he say? I don't understand."
"As the ancients said, chickens have five virtues. As for the first one, it refers to the excrement you produce after you finish eating every day."
"Look what netizens have been driven to by censored words, hahaha."
"This elegant name does sound more cultured than a homophone. It's much better than some people using homophones to insult others and inadvertently attacking our district's name. What did our district do to deserve this?"
"Phonetic puns can be artistic too, right?"
The initially extreme topic was quickly pushed to the top by a flood of comments, as if nothing had happened, and the live stream returned to its usual cheerful state.
After sending the last sentence "puns will get you penalized" in the input field, Zhang Baye opened the Coke next to her computer and took a big gulp: "Awesome—" It was another day off for her, but she was in a good mood, so she decided to help the government guide the direction of the live stream. It would be even better if the government could give her money.
She didn't have deep feelings for Yin Zhu; she preferred the previous Ji Liao.
To be precise, what Zhang Baye misses is the era when the chosen ones of the Dragon Kingdom didn't need any help from a think tank, and could quickly clear levels and stand out from the crowd on their own.
However, that period is gone and can never be returned to.
