Chapter 90 Happy Amusement Park 1
Twelve players were sitting in a minibus. Murphy looked around at the surroundings, the familiar cars in Ghost City, and the familiar fog outside the window.
His new roll of the dice produced another question mark, once again ending his copy cooldown period early.
However, Murphy now feels a little relieved.
Another "?", perhaps, Luo Qing was there too this time.
He looked around, exchanged glances with the players in front and behind him, then quietly stood up and took a look at the number of people. There were twelve of them, six men and six women, with a fairly balanced age group, representing several age groups.
The driver was in the main seat, and the passenger seat of the minibus was empty. When the instance teleported him in, there was only one message:
[Dear tourists, please prepare yourselves, the destination ahead is Happy Amusement Park]
[Happy Amusement Park] is a relatively famous copy among the weird copies. The mortality rate of this copy is not high, and the amusement projects are also fixed, but there are always some unique tricks.
For players, there are a few things to keep in mind in this dungeon: be happy in expression and actions, and never reveal your fear.
As far as Murphy knows, Happy Amusement Park often gives two identities when drawing players, amusement park staff or tourists.
This time the copy has given a hint that they came as tourists.
In this dungeon, as long as you are not a newbie, veterans should pay more attention and follow the task prompts given by the dungeon. If there are players with the same frequency to remind each other, there is a very high survival rate.
Murphy recalled the posts he had recently read about the [Happy Amusement Park] copy.
This copy is basically entered every day, so the changes and updates to the copy will not be very fast. At most, the details will be slightly modified.
In yesterday’s strategy post, it seemed that a group of players were assigned to be performers in the theater of the amusement park. Some of them had to wear puppet costumes and interact with the indigenous tourists.
The Happy Amusement Park dungeon further ahead seems to be a role-playing + survival experience? Players get different roles.
Murphy quickly recalled that although he read the posts in the forum every day, he had to scan all the dungeons he had not been to, as well as various hot topics recently. The strategy can only be auxiliary. Today, this dungeon has to be done by these players themselves.
There was an indigenous driver in the car, so the players didn't dare to communicate loudly and only whispered to each other.
"Normally, we should be driving in Ghost City now. We should be there soon."
"Isn't there that doll in Happy Amusement Park? It's quite popular.
"I wonder if we should go together or what to do next." Murphy checked his carry-on luggage. He created a backpack and thoughtfully placed a raincoat, a power bank, wet wipes, and tissues. He felt in his pocket again and, as expected, found his "Outside Worker's Permit."
The dungeon has always been very considerate in this regard. Players will be given relevant things according to their identities. Travel dungeons will prepare backpacks and suitcases. This time, the amusement park tourists were also prepared with some things.
"Everyone, check your luggage and documents. Don't forget when you get off the bus." He spoke in a voice neither too loud nor too low, reminding other players to check their belongings.
Not knowing if there were any newcomers in this dungeon, Murphy thought for a moment and then spoke again, "Although this is my first time at Happy Amusement Park, I did some research before coming here."
He half-jokingly said, "Have we ever come here without any preparation?"
This is Murphy’s first time in Happy Amusement Park, which means it is his first time in this dungeon.
Making a guide means he has read related posts and is an old player.
The last question, "unprepared" naturally refers to the new players who were suddenly pulled in.
"Well, this is our first time."
Two young people sitting in the middle row raised their hands, a boy and a girl, who looked to be about twenty years old.
However, their expressions were still calm.
Murphy looked back at them, remembered their appearance and nodded.
He could feel that the bus he was riding on seemed to be slowing down. Was it heading to Happy Amusement Park?
No! The minibus suddenly stopped, the driver pressed a button, and the door opened.
A woman wearing a sun hat, holding a small flag in her hand, a sun mask on her face, and carrying a backpack came up.
Luo Qing got on the bus, stopped, greeted the driver, and took off the mask on his face.
Murphy met her eyes, and both of them were delighted.
As expected! As expected! He really ran into Luo Qing. The question mark on the fortune dice seemed to be locked on Luo Qing.
He immediately spoke up, clearly signaling to the other players: "Sister Luo Qing, are you here to be a tour guide again this time?"
"Oh, Xiao Mo, right? What a coincidence! I didn't take this job from Tuming Travel Agency, and I ran into you again."
Luo Qing also thought it was a coincidence. Could it be that he had a special connection with the members of the tour group from Yinhuai Village?
Xiao Liu became the first tenant and employee. Xiao Xiang also just rented a house and met Xiao Mo again.
"We'll talk later. I'll take the roll first."
"Mo Fei, Li Gaoyuan, Liang Shuang, Ge Huiru, Gu Tongtong, Wang Changhong...
Luo Qing took out his mobile phone and clicked on the names. After listening to them, he nodded and introduced himself to the tourists with the microphone.
"Hello, fellow tourists and friends. I am the park manager who will be accompanying you in planning your amusement time at Happy Amusement Park this time. My name is Luo Qing, and you can just call me your tour guide." Luo Qing recited a set of small words familiarly.
Because she was standing and the tourists were sitting, Luo Qing could clearly see the expressions of the twelve tourists present.
They were all looking at her, some with surprise, some with vigilance, and some with confusion.
As a tour guide for a group, it is not surprising to encounter any attitude from tourists. After all, some tour groups and unscrupulous tour guides engage in forced shopping and serious sales practices. Now many tourists become alert when they hear the tour guide start talking.
Well, it seems that some tourists are looking forward to going to the amusement park, some young people are drowsy, as if they haven't woken up yet, and some seem to be on guard against her sales pitch at any time.
"Happy Amusement Park is the largest park in Ghost City. It has a high visitor flow year-round and the waiting times for attractions are long. I believe that everyone has specially ordered the park butler service this time because they want to have fun and enjoy themselves to the fullest extent possible."
"So, please listen carefully to what I am going to say next." Luo Qing emphasized his tone.
"First of all, there are twelve of us in this group, which is quite a large group. We all know that some rides in amusement parks have a limited number of people allowed on at any one time. Four people might get on this ride, and the remaining eight will have to wait for the next one. If the twelve of us plan to ride the same ride together, we'll inevitably have to wait for each other."
"During this period of waiting, please remember that we are a team. Don't complain. You waited for me, and I waited for you."
"However, I've noticed that our group has different age groups, so everyone might have different preferences. Some like thrilling rides, while others prefer less thrilling ones. If I'm lining up for the carousel, and a few others want to go on the roller coaster, I'll need to arrange them separately. That's fine, but the park is huge, and it'll take me time to run back and forth. So, if you finish your ride and don't see me when you come out, please wait for me at the agreed location. Don't run around."
"If, I mean if you are impatient to wait for other group members and want to go shopping and play on your own, you can leave the group. However, the tour fee that the park steward has already registered for cannot be refunded. It cannot be refunded." Luo Qing said firmly.
Murphy silently absorbed information from Luo Qing's words. What he meant was that players could participate in different amusement projects at the same time, and after the project ended, they would wait for Luo Qing at the designated location.
If you run around randomly, you are likely to encounter something weird in the park.
She specifically mentioned that if they left the group on their own, it would mean that the players had given up her protection, and Luo Qing, the "park manager", would no longer bear any responsibility, and the danger would undoubtedly increase greatly.
After finishing a string of words in one breath, Luo Qing cleared his throat again: "Is everything I have said clear so far? Is there anything unclear?"
"clear."
"I understand."
"no problem."
Luo Qing was very satisfied with the tourists' response. She continued, "Our tour group guarantees that everyone can enjoy the eight main events. However, this also requires everyone to be physically and mentally prepared. When I say run, everyone must look carefully at the flag and follow me. The waiting time for the events is uncertain, so we must seize the opportunity when time is short and head straight for the goal."
"Is there anyone with a bad leg or any physical discomfort? Please raise your hand." She asked again, and walked into the minibus, looking at people carefully.
"No one raised their hand, so there's no problem."
"Everyone, please check your ID. Since this is a single-day ticket, we will scan your ID when you enter the park, and the staff will give you a park card. This is also your identity certificate in Happy Amusement Park. Don't lose it."
Luo Qing gave some instructions and looked out the window. The minibus had already turned into the parking lot of Happy Amusement Park.
"Okay, everyone, grab your luggage, park the car, and we'll be ready to enter Happy Amusement Park."
"The group for this tour group has been created. I will send our license plate number later to make it easier for everyone to find the bus after the tour."
Luo Qing put on his sunscreen mask again. It was already June, and although it didn't feel very hot physically, if he stayed in the sun for a whole day, only he would know how hot it would be!
Luo Qing held up her own small flag. "Everyone, keep an eye on our little pink flag. There are a lot of visitors in the park, and there are security checks. I can only hold a flag this big."
The minibus stopped and Luo Qing got off first. He held up a flag and took a picture of the minibus's exterior and license plate number and sent it to the group.
The players got off the bus one by one and took the opportunity to communicate with each other.
"It's Luo Qing. We won't separate this time. We will definitely follow her."
"Of course. How can I not hug her thighs? I wonder if I can ask her for her business card."
"She might not be able to bring her business card with her when she comes out as a tour guide, right? I'm wondering if I should take advantage of this opportunity to rent a room."
This time, Murphy also walked over to the two new players and whispered, "For this dungeon, follow the guide throughout. Do whatever the guide says and don't disobey him. Do you understand?"
"How old are you?" he asked.
The boy and girl seemed to know each other, like a young couple holding each other's clothes. Mo Fei remembered that when they called the roll just now, the boy's name was Li Gaoyuan and the girl's name was Ge Huiru.
"We are both nineteen and have just taken the college entrance examination," said Ge Huiru.
Murphy was stunned for a moment. This, this, shouldn’t today still be the college entrance examination?
These two unlucky kids are so unlucky.
He sighed in his heart, "Grab your bags and follow me. Remember, you must listen to the tour guide."
"Are you from the traditional college entrance examination area? Or the 3+3 program? You didn't take the exam today, but you were pulled here?"
"It's the traditional college entrance examination. Our parents support the border areas, and we also go to school in the border areas. We just relaxed today and wanted to go out and play." Li Gaoyuan said.
Murphy looked at them and said, "No wonder, you don't look like people from the frontier region, you don't look like ethnic minorities."
"Let's go. Keep your mouths shut and talk less. If you're not in front of the tour guide, you can ask me questions." He said, and trotted to Luo Qing with the two newbies.
Murphy smiled and said, "Guide, I just heard from Tianyi that she's also renting a room with you?"
Luo Qing was holding a small flag and leading the tourists towards the gate. When she heard Mo Fei's words, she immediately said "hmm" and looked at him in surprise.
"Xiao Mo, you two have a good relationship. Xiao Xiang just rented the house."
"Yes, I've been thinking about finding a house recently. I also have two younger brothers and sisters who don't want to live in the school dormitory. My family is thinking of renting a house for them. I was thinking of visiting your place and asking for a business card for their parents."
Murphy didn't know whether Luo Qing brought a business card, so he could only try and give one to these two newbies.
"Your relatives." Luo Qing looked at the two young men beside Mo Fei in surprise.
"Ah, we are related. Why didn't you ask me to bring him out to play?" Mo Fei hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it.
Luo Qing felt in her pocket and realized something was wrong. She hadn't been to Happy Amusement Park for a long time, and for the sake of sun protection and comfort, she had packed a lot of things and thrown them into her bag. But she hadn't taken out this backpack for a long time, and there was no business card box in it, nor in her clothes today.
"Oh no, I forgot to bring it." Luo Qing spread his hands and did not notice the frustrated sighs of several players behind him.
"It's okay, I'll tell you the address. You can see it when you get out of Ping'anli subway station. My name is Ping'an Real Estate. There are always people in the store during the day." she said.
"Okay, I'll take a look. If I'm not tired after playing today, I'll take them both to your place to have a look. I heard from Tianyi that houses are in high demand now, and there may be fewer and fewer good houses." Murphy said.
Luo Qing didn't bring his business card with him, which made him feel a little regretful. So he simply continued to ask for a room to rent so that Luo Qing could have some impression of them and see if he could take care of the two newbies.
"That's fine, but it depends on whether you have the physical strength to hold on. And if you want to watch the fireworks show tonight, you'll have to go back late, and the light at night will also affect house viewing. Although I don't mind working overtime, you may want to go home early to rest and come back next time." Luo Qing said with a smile.
Murphy could see that the two newbies' eyes were filled with questions and confusion, but he didn't have time to explain the details to them for the time being.
Ahead, the entrance to Happy Amusement Park is here.
"Everyone, get your ID ready. Hold on to it tightly and don't drop it. We are about to enter the park. Check your bags for any prohibited items and dispose of them immediately. Follow me, everyone." Luo Qing waved his small flag and led his men forward.
Mo Fei used both hands to push the two newbies behind Luo Qing and in front of himself, and said to the other players behind him: "Everyone should stay together and don't disperse."
"Know."
"Those of you who have spare hands can help take care of those two kids."
There are many entrances to Happy Amusement Park, and other indigenous tourists will disperse to other entrances when they see that there are many people. This allows all players to squeeze into one line.
Luo Qing entered directly by scanning her face. She said to the tourists behind her, "Put your ID on it, and then they will spit out the park card. Take your ID and the park card."
Li Gaoyuan was the first to go. He was nervous and put his ID card at the card scanning area. Then he saw the gate open and the machine in the channel spit out a card with a big smiling face and the words "Happy Amusement Park" printed on it.
He grabbed his ID and park card and immediately ran to the guide's side. Ge Huiru followed suit, nervously completing her own process. Compared to them, the other players had it much easier, swiping their way in quickly, and then the bag check and security began again.
The process of this part is similar to that of a real-world amusement park, which calmed Li Gaoyuan and Ge Huiru to a great extent.
The two had originally agreed to go out and play with other friends today, but they were directly pulled into the dungeon.
When they were in the car, everyone was sitting quietly and no one dared to speak until Murphy spoke.
It should be said that after going through the college entrance examination, their brains were still running fast enough. They quickly realized what Murphy meant in the car and responded.
After that, the two of them had no idea what the dungeon mission was, nor what they were supposed to do specifically. They could only listen obediently to what the old players who came over said. If they were told not to speak, they would not speak and would just listen silently, even if they had a hundred questions in their minds.
After passing the entrance and security check, Luo Qing led the twelve tourists to the huge gate of Happy Amusement Park, and a copy prompt appeared in front of all the players.
At the same time, the Happy Amusement Park broadcast sounded.
Dear visitors, welcome to Happy Amusement Park.
[After entering the park, you can go to the information desk to get a park map and park information]
To ensure a happy experience for you, your family, and your friends, please carefully read the instructions for each attraction before entering.
[Smoking, fighting, arguing, queue-jumping, and other uncivilized behaviors are prohibited while queuing for any amusement ride. If you need assistance, please contact the staff immediately.]
Please note that all staff at Happy Amusement Park's attractions wear black uniforms. If you encounter staff in blue uniforms, please ignore them. They are maintenance personnel and will not provide inquiries or services to visitors.
[Park staff in blue uniforms will not ask for directions. If you encounter someone asking for directions, please ignore them.]
Food stalls will be available 24/7 throughout the park, and all restaurants will be open from 10:00 AM. Please read the relevant notices before entering the theme restaurants.
[In this park, gift shops selling souvenirs to visitors are located at the exit of each attraction. If you are unsure where the exit is, please remember that it is on the left side of the entrance. If you find that the exit is in the wrong location, please do not enter.]
[The entire Happy Amusement Park staff sincerely wishes you a pleasant visit and a joyful day with your family, friends, and loved ones.]
Ge Huiru and Li Gaoyuan were frantically memorizing the amusement park rules they'd seen and heard, fearing they'd forget something and cause a bloody disaster. They knew that as newcomers, encountering the legendary rulebook for the first time was bound to be a difficult dungeon, and they didn't know what to say except that it was bad luck.
The moment Murphy heard the broadcast and saw the text, his face turned green. Not only him, but other players did the same.
Damn, the rule book! There's more than one rule! This is killing me!
Happy Amusement Park, now everyone is going to be unhappy!
