Chapter 98 Happy Amusement Park 9
Luo Qing replied to a few messages and returned to the restaurant with his phone. By this time, the players had already studied the rules of the restaurant.
The rules in the restaurant are very simple, with only a few of them, but they also seem to have a deep meaning.
【Happy Restaurant Dining Instructions】
1. All restaurants in Happy Amusement Park follow the principle of order first, payment later. Please collect your receipt after ordering and place the menu in a conspicuous place on the table.
2. All restaurants in Happy Amusement Park offer only six different set menus: Set A through Set F. If you find a set menu other than A, B, C, D, or F on the menu, please hand it to the black-uniformed staff, who will replace it for you.
3. When the restaurant is crowded, staff may make mistakes when serving food. If you find that your order is different from the set meal you ordered, please refuse to eat and call the staff in black uniforms to replace your set meal.
[4. All restaurants in Happy Amusement Park only serve normal human food. There are no hidden menus.]
5. Happy Amusement Park has established itself as a model for a green and civilized city in Ghost City. All Happy Restaurants use green and pollution-free ingredients. We encourage visitors to "Clean Your Plate" and avoid food waste, ensuring you can eat with peace of mind.
The five rules can be summarized as paying before ordering, placing the menu, paying attention to the menu and serving, and not wasting food.
Luo Qing returned to the restaurant and did not sit with the group members. No matter whether they were leading a group or a private group like this, the tour guide and driver would not eat with them.
She quickly ordered a C set meal at the front desk, took the sign and went straight to an empty seat and sat down.
On the other hand, after studying the rules, the players began to choose their packages.
"Set A is rice with gravy, Set B is noodles with braised vegetables, Set C has a choice of noodles in soup or fried rice noodles, Set D is a hamburger, Set E is pasta, and Set F is purely vegetarian. The categories are quite comprehensive, and you can choose braised vegetables or something else. Some come with soup, and some come with water." Ge Huiru looked at the menu with great interest.
"I'll have the fish-flavored shredded pork with rice from Set A." Li Gaoyuan made his choice quickly.
"I haven't had enough of the fish-flavored shredded pork in the cafeteria. Should I order soup noodles or fried rice noodles?" Ge Huiru was in a dilemma.
"Brother, what do you want?"
Murphy was in a daze, and when she called him, he responded, "I'll have a rice bowl with chili and pork. What do you choose, Xiao Ge? I'll take the order."
"Let's have fried rice noodles. I think soup noodles are easier to go to the toilet."
Murphy nodded, then stood up and went to the front desk to place his order. Players from the other two tables also took turns to sit down.
They all pay for their own food, so each person has to come and order.
After ordering the set meal for three people, he took the number 6 sign back and put it on the table, then secretly stuck his head out to look at Luo Qing.
After coming out of Happy Theater, Luo Qing didn't talk to him alone again, which made Mo Fei even more anxious.
What was she doing? Did she go out to make a phone call earlier? Could it be related to me? If she discovered something special about me, would she arrest me?
If his "Fortune Dice" was given to him by the "bad guy" in the past, would Ghost City take it away? How would he deal with it?
If he can't take it away, does that mean he has to deal with him himself?
Murphy's mind was in a mess, and he felt an indescribable panic. He was even more afraid that he would affect other players because of himself.
The set meals came out very quickly, and there were no mistakes at their table, but the other two tables had the wrong set meals.
Fortunately, everyone discovered it in time and nothing serious happened. It also sounded a wake-up call in the hearts of the players.
No players had any accidents in two consecutive events, jumping from a building and acrobatics, so they became a bit slack.
The menu of this restaurant is not a thick flip-through book, but a simple piece of paper that can be used as a pad of paper, with dining instructions and set meal prices written on it.
Murphy placed his plate on the menu paper and ate absentmindedly.
“The fried rice noodles are delicious, beyond my expectations.”
"My rice bowl is the same. The fish-flavored shredded pork tastes like something you'd find in a restaurant."
Listening to the two people's conversation, Murfei was also eating. The fried pork with peppers tasted good, a little spicy, and even went well with rice. However, Murfei had something on his mind and could not swallow it.
"Brother, is yours not tasty? How about we change it?" Li Gaoyuan said, looking at his expression.
"Ah, no, it's delicious, I'm just not very hungry." Murphy said, and hurried to eat again. The rules said that food should not be wasted, and he still remembered the "Clean Plate Campaign".
No, he can't go on like this.
Murphy was well aware that he had been distracted for two projects in a row. If this state continued in the afternoon project, he would easily make mistakes.
He wanted to find Luo Qing and ask her clearly, even if he died, he wanted to know the truth.
He finished his set meal very quickly, and then downed the soup in one gulp. His bold and quick movements amazed the two teenagers.
"Did the tour guide mention any time requirements for meals?"
"It seems... not. The tour guide is eating too."
The two were confused about Murphy's sudden acceleration, so they had to speed up as well.
The college entrance examination candidates who just finished their senior year also eat very quickly. It takes them ten minutes from the time they get their meal to the time they finish it.
"You don't have to eat in a hurry. I have something to talk to the tour guide about." Murphy asked them to slow down, but he still didn't get up at this time. Instead, he used a spoon to clean the rice on the plate again to make sure that the plate was empty.
He took out a bottle of water from his backpack, took two big gulps, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the dining table where Luo Qing was.
"Luo...tour guide." Murphy temporarily decided to call her tour guide.
Luo Qing looked up at him. She was eating noodles with soup and there was still a lot of soup left. She waved her hand and a staff member in black uniform came over and quietly took away the plate without saying anything.
Murphy didn't know whether this counted as wasting food as stipulated in the "Dining Instructions", but it was obvious that the indigenous Luo Qing would not be bound by this rule.
At this moment, he had no time to complain about this "different treatment". He just sat down quietly and waited for Luo Qing to wipe his mouth.
"Xiao Mo, are you done eating?" Luo Qing looked at him with a relaxed tone, as if he was just chatting casually.
Mo Fei nodded and was about to continue speaking, but he saw her open her phone and handed it to him.
"You told me you wanted to rent an apartment. I just checked the available housing. There's a vacant room, 403, in Unit 1, Building 9 of our complex."
"It's quite a coincidence. My former neighbor moved to a house in the school district. I was planning to keep 403, but I don't know why he changed his mind recently and just listed the house with me."
"You are familiar with Xiao Xiang and Xiao Liu, right? Xiao Liu also lives in this unit."
"This house has a strong atmosphere of life. I've lived here before." Luo Qing introduced it to Mo Fei.
Room 403 is downstairs from Xiao Liu. Previously, a family of four lived there. When the eldest daughter went to middle school, the whole family moved next to the Seventh Middle School.
When Luo Qing and her husband heard about it, they were still sighing. Ping'an Home is not far from the Seventh Middle School. If there is a traffic jam in the morning, it will only take about ten minutes to drive there. If there is no traffic jam, it will take at most seven or eight minutes to drive back.
This distance is definitely close compared to many other communities, but this family still felt it was too far and moved directly next to the school to give their child more sleep. This is what is called parental love for children.
Murphy was stunned. He was revising the plan in his mind. It turned out that Luo Qing was taking the initiative to introduce a house to him?
This isn't the right approach, is it? Are we not continuing the previous topic?
"What? You think this one isn't good? Well, they've lived in this house for a few years. There's another room, 401, in Unit 3, Building 9. Here's the photo."
Luo Qing reached out and flipped through the pictures in the album again.
Unit 401 of this three-unit apartment was originally rented by Xiao Cui and his two companions. However, on that day, the sewer overflowed due to hair.
Fortunately, Xiao Cui and the other two were easy to talk to and had no objection to moving to the seventh floor. After Luo Qing and her husband cleaned up unit 401, they replaced it with new furniture.
"The furniture in this room is new. There was a problem with the sewer before, but it's been repaired. Aren't you going to bring your younger siblings? It also has two bedrooms, so there's enough room for them."
Murphy listened to Luo Qing's tone of selling the house. He stretched out his finger and slid it, looking down at the photo.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Luo Qing's tone was a little eager.
Moreover, Murphy remembered that before entering this dungeon, he saw a player's house rental sharing on the Rugui Forum. It had been mentioned before that there were no houses left in Building No. 9 where Luo Qing was, and the players were all divided into Building No. 10, Building No. 11, etc.
"Unit 401 of this three-unit house looks like a good one." Murphy said while looking at the photo.
"Is that so?" Luo Qing also nodded. She felt that Xiao Mo would be able to find it, so she asked Xiao Liu to take out the keys to the two rooms separately.
"If you plan to move here, we at Ping An Real Estate are now introducing jobs to you, mainly part-time jobs. For example, there are several tenants working in Happy Amusement Park today." Luo Qing said after taking a sip of water.
"Didn't you say before that you were in operations?"
"Internet operations, right? I know someone suitable for this job. Our Anxi Technology Company in Guicheng is very famous. If you are interested, I can recommend it to you."
Mo Fei understood what Luo Qing meant, but he was a little confused.
He first looked at renting a house for himself, then mentioned work, and it was a job at "Anxi Technology".
Luo Qing's attitude towards him was simply amazing! You know, even the players who were officially looking for jobs in Ghost City were mostly doing manual labor, and Luo Qing actually directly recommended Anxi Technology to him?
Murphy didn't think he was special enough to receive such an "honor", unless it was all because of his uniqueness.
Renting an apartment, finding a job, is this to monitor him? Or to control him?
But for Murphy right now, it was indeed difficult for him to refuse these offers. Compared to every dungeon where he nervously rolled the dice after the cooldown expired, each time was a gamble, with far too much uncertainty.
He had rolled a "6" for great fortune, and he had also rolled a "0" for extreme bad luck. But when one was in a dungeon, one couldn't help but want to take a gamble. What if, what if? If only he rolled a better fortune, this dungeon might be easier.
It is difficult for people to quit after they have tasted the benefits. Even if he once warned himself in his heart not to rely on the fortune dice, after each cooling-off period of the dice, Murphy would roll a new result.
If it were ordinary daily life, then even if the luck range was 0-6, Murphy would think how much more unlucky it could be? But in the dungeon, it was different. If you rolled a low luck, you might be targeted by strange forces and your life would be in danger.
Therefore, if he could rent a house and find a job in Ghost City, it would have a deeper meaning for Murphy.
Perhaps he could try to stop rolling the "luck dice." Without the danger of his life, in the repetitive cycles of ordinary life, good fortune might mean a subway seat, a bike scan, or a leftover portion of his favorite duck leg rice at his favorite restaurant. Bad luck could also mean a series of red lights, rain without an umbrella, and a taxi queue a hundred people ahead of him.
Therefore, facing Luo Qing in front of him, Mo Fei nodded slowly.
"Thank you. After we finish our tour today, we'll go see the house in person."
"Okay." Luo Qing put her cell phone away. She asked Aunt Tian Fang to clean room 401 in unit 3. This room had been cleaned before, so it only needed a simple sweep of the dust.
Luo Qing stood up and glanced at the other members. They had all finished their meal.
She looked down at the time. It was now eleven forty. It took her less than ten minutes to walk from the Happy Theater, and she finished her meal within half an hour. Very good, very much like the spirit of a special forces soldier in the amusement park. This is the speed required to fill the entire theater.
In the past, if it was a private tour to an amusement park like this, some members would even give up their meal time in order to play more projects, and would eat and rest while walking between projects.
Mo Fei was interrupted by Luo Qing's words just now. The topic shifted from renting a house to work, and he couldn't start talking at all about the topics he had prepared in his heart. He looked at the menu on Luo Qing's table and his eyes suddenly froze.
X Set, Dependent's Legacy, Gift of Steak, Stir-fried Mystic Eye...
Did he see the hidden menu? Was this something Luo Qing had originally had here, or had it just changed?
Luo Qing was about to call for help, but she saw Xiao Mo lowering his head, looking at the menu on her table. She glanced at it, frowned slightly, reached out and pulled the thing over, and threw it into the trash can next to her.
"Is everyone finished eating? Do you want to rest for a while, or should we continue the project now?" She looked up at everyone.
"If you feel that you just finished eating and it's not convenient to do strenuous exercise, I think you can take a break, or walk along the lakeside to digest the food, or go ride the Ferris wheel." Luo Qing stretched out a hand and pointed out the window. She put her other hand behind her waist and hooked her hand to the staff at the restaurant counter.
The players discussed for a moment and reached a consensus. They had been sitting in the theater for quite a while, even eating while sitting. It was enough time for them to rest and eat and drink enough, so it was just right to ride the Ferris wheel.
"Guide, let's go to the Ferris wheel from the lakeside." Wang Changhong said.
Luo Qing snapped his fingers. "Okay, if you need to go to the bathroom, hurry up. We're ready to go. Take your belongings with you."
Murphy returned to the two teenagers at this time. He saw the restaurant staff taking away the trash can next to Luo Qing's table, and his heart became even more thoughtful.
Luo Qing was obviously helping him just now.
Hiding the words "set meal" on the menu, she processed it faster than he did.
Luo Qing was obviously very clear about the rules of this copy.
After the players took turns going to the bathroom, the group left the restaurant under the leadership of Luo Qing and walked along the lakeside path of the artificial lake to the Eye of the Ghost City Ferris wheel.
"This Ferris wheel is much bigger than the one we have."
"It really is a giant Ferris wheel, but it doesn't look very fast, it moves quite slowly."
"But it shouldn't be as slow as we see when we ride it." The players talked at once, looking at the Ferris wheel. On the surface, there was no sign of any dangerous features.
Of course, it is also possible that the version in front of you is special for indigenous tourists, and it will be different when they get there.
"In TV dramas, the male and female protagonists confess their love and kiss on the Ferris wheel. Let's do this together," Huo Min said.
"That's right." Gu Tongtong joked.
"When I was a kid, I actually didn't like amusement parks at all. I was always afraid of what would happen if the power suddenly went out or the rides stopped," said Zhou Keqin.
As soon as he said this, the players in front and behind him suddenly fell silent. Don’t say it, you really shouldn’t say it.
The Ferris wheel is hovering at the highest point, motionless, and the equipment is malfunctioning. It is really possible for a copy to do this.
Now, we can only hope that Zhou Keqin is not a pessimist.
"Come to think of it, don't you find it strange? Why build such a large artificial lake in an amusement park?" Liang Shuang said, looking at the huge artificial lake.
"And there aren't any yachts or boats on it. Normally, a lake like this would have to have some sort of paid activity."
Ge Huiru nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, for such a big lake, we can build a chain on both sides, or a cableway, and some water obstacle courses or something." She stretched out her hands and gestured the distance to the other side of the artificial lake.
"I feel like this artificial lake is big enough for dragon boat racing. I wonder how deep it is." Xin Guirong continued.
Finally, someone took the initiative to ask Luo Qing: "Guide, what is this artificial lake used for?"
Luo Qing thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because it looks good. The Ferris wheel on the water is even more beautiful with the lake view reflected on it."
Her answer left the players speechless for a moment, and then Luo Qing continued to add: "It's noon now. There will be more tourists in the evening, and the Ferris wheel can also project images."
Murphy quietly counted the number of boxes on the Ferris wheel; there were twenty-four.
"Guide, how many people can sit in one box?" Tang Suxia spoke at this moment. This was related to how the eleven of them should be allocated.
"The minimum is one person, and the maximum is four people." Luo Qing said.
The players felt much more at ease now that the Ferris wheel could seat four people. If Luo Qing also entered the Ferris wheel's box, they could be divided into three groups.
Walking from the restaurant along the lakeside path to the Ferris wheel, some players observed the environment and the lake, some stared at the running Ferris wheel, and some were guessing and pondering the new rules in their hearts.
"We shouldn't have any fear of heights, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, or mental illnesses here, right? We've already screened for jumping off a building." Luo Qing looked at the group members.
"You don't need to store your bags on the Eye of the Ghost City Ferris Wheel. There's plenty of space inside the box." She reminded everyone of the precautions and led them inside.
Players quickly looked for the instructions for riding here. The first two items were seen in other projects. Luo Qing also mentioned the height requirement for children to be accompanied, and the prohibitions on riding due to several diseases. The real thing to pay attention to is from the third item onwards.
【Instructions for playing Eye of the Haunted City】
3. During the operation of the Eye of the Ghostly City Ferris wheel, you cannot pause or go up or down automatically. The Ferris wheel takes a long time to complete a full rotation, so please be prepared for this ride.
4. Please fasten your seat belt immediately after entering the Ferris wheel's private cabin. During high-altitude operation, any activities that may affect the cabin, such as jumping or shaking, are strictly prohibited. During this period, the ground-based staff in black uniforms will not be able to provide service.
5. To allow you to better appreciate the panoramic view of Guicheng from above, when your box is at a high point, it will briefly hover at the highest point so that you can take photos and videos and enjoy the high-altitude scenery and the view of Xiansheng Lake.
6. The Eye of Haunted Ferris Wheel is a local landmark, and all staff sincerely wish you a pleasant visit.
Players were pleasantly surprised to find that since the Ferris wheel is also an outdoor facility, there is no problem of finding exits and entrances, which reduces one pressure.
At this moment, there were a group of indigenous tourists queuing in front of them, and the players were counting the number of people together.
"We should be able to go up together, right? There are 24 boxes, so at least a hundred people can go up at once."
"You are calculating based on four people per box. If there are many tourists alone or in pairs in the front, it will be troublesome."
Although they have such concerns in their hearts, most players feel that they will not be separated when they are in the dungeon, as the dungeon always likes to mix everything together.
Tourists were constantly getting on and off the platform, and the first two groups of players quickly boarded. After that, it was Mo Fei's turn, along with the two teenagers and Luo Qing.
When Ge Huiru asked if she wanted to ride the Ferris wheel, Luo Qing replied, "Thank you for the invitation. I'll join you three."
Got on the Ferris wheel box.
Mo Fei quickly fastened their seat belts. Luo Qing moved casually. Ge Huiru and Li Gaoyuan sat opposite her and Mo Fei. They were a little nervous and didn't dare to look at Luo Qing.
Because the tour guide was there, they didn't dare to say anything careless. They could only comfort themselves in their hearts that the tour guide was in the same box with them, so nothing should happen.
The Ferris wheel does not go up very fast, but you can feel it clearly when you are sitting in the box. Through the windows on both sides, you can feel your body rising little by little.
Several people were looking at the panoramic view of the Ghost City outside the window. The two teenagers were looking at it with curiosity, but Murphy was looking at it eagerly. It turned out that the Ghost City was so big.
Luo Qing's eyes swept across the obvious landmark buildings, constantly connecting them with familiar places from the past in his mind.
"It's so big!" Ge Huiru exclaimed as she looked at the city view.
"There are reflections in the lake, but it's a pity there are no lights on, so there are only shadows. It would look better if there were lights." Li Gaoyuan looked at the lake.
Li Gaoyuan's words prompted Mo Fei to look at the reflection of the lake outside the window. He paused, then paused, "This shadow looks a bit like a clock."
The Ferris wheel was getting higher and higher, and they could see that the boxes of other players in front of them were almost at the top.
Suddenly, the entire Ferris wheel's cabin began to shake, not like the wind, but more like an earthquake, as if it was about to fall from a high altitude!
The players were cursing in their hearts. Is this the crisis of this project? Mo Fei and the other two clung to the handrails, and he subconsciously looked at Luo Qing.
But at this moment, Luo Qing's face looked a little ugly.
Ding!
The copy prompt suddenly appeared in front of the eyes and ears of the eleven players.
[It has been detected that the current copy is affected by force majeure factors, and this copy has entered the suspended storage. ]
[Dear players, please wait patiently for two minutes to be teleported back to the city. This instance will be settled directly for you later.]
What's going on? The instance is paused? This is the first time anyone has ever encountered this, and yet they're still on the Ferris wheel!
Is it to teleport them directly back to reality?
The two teenagers were looking at Murfei at this moment, not knowing what to do and at a loss, and Murfei was the same.
But within ten seconds, the copy prompt appeared again.
[Dear players, due to force majeure, the return channel is temporarily unavailable for you. Please forgive us.]
【Later, staff in black uniforms will arrange a suitable place for you.】
The Ferris wheel paused and was sliding down rapidly.
All the players' expressions changed drastically! What's going on in this dungeon?!
