Chapter 38: Admission Ticket

Guo Yinjv stepped through the doorway.

The instant both his feet crossed into the Fantasy Park, he immediately felt all the surrounding clamor fade away, and the very air he breathed seemed to grow sweet and fragrant.

But then, the light in front of him dimmed abruptly. Reflexively, he looked up, only to find an enormous creature looming into view.

“Oh my god!”

The sight of those crimson eyes startled Guo Yinjv out of his wits.

[Old Guo’s face just turned white with fright.]

[What is that thing? Is it a Rampaging Dinosaur?]

[Ha, it must be King Kong.]

After a brief moment of terror, Guo Yinjv quickly regained his composure.

He gave an awkward smile and waved at the King Kong before him. “Hi there, King Kong.”

King Kong glanced down at the badge on his chest, as if checking whether he’d put it on the wrong way.

Guo Yinjv quickly realized and said, “Hold on a moment.”

He pulled out his phone and scanned the QR code.

To his surprise, he wasn’t prompted to enter a payment amount directly. Instead, several product purchase pages appeared.

“That’s odd, this doesn’t match what I was told,” Guo Yinjv muttered, angling his phone screen at the camera.

Several options were displayed.

The first was “Fantasy Park Admission Ticket,” priced at 10,000.

The second was “Dinosaur Pavilion,” priced at 100,000.

The third was “Python Pavilion,” also 100,000.

The fourth was “Arena Spectator Ticket,” 100,000.

The fifth was “Arena Participant Ticket,” 1,000,000.

The sixth was “Fitness Plaza,” also 1,000,000.

After reading through each, Guo Yinjv exclaimed in surprise, “So they’re all sold separately. I thought buying the admission ticket meant you could explore everywhere.”

“Let’s check the descriptions.”

“Oh, with this ticket, in theory, you can visit everywhere, but not enter the interiors. For example, you can watch dinosaurs from the sightseeing corridor, but you can’t get up close.”

“Wow, the Dinosaur Pavilion and Python Pavilion also let you ride the Rampaging Dinosaur for free. That sounds awesome.”

“And the Arena—says you can pick an opponent and go down to fight.”

“The spectator ticket is for watching from above, the participant ticket lets you go down and fight. You can even choose to battle a dinosaur. The key point is…”

“No one dies in there!”

“Ha, actually it’s not that amazing—anyone who’s watched Xiao Yu’s live streams knows that no matter how badly you’re injured inside, you come out healed.”

Guo Yinjv struck a serious fighting stance. “I think I should try the Arena, see what a dinosaur tastes like. If I’m quick enough, maybe I can bite one myself.”

He clicked his tongue regretfully. “Too bad I forgot to bring some chili powder…”

“Let’s look at the last one: with the Fitness Plaza ticket, you can get free martial arts training from either Miss Long or Granny Sun.” Guo Yinjv raised his fist excitedly. “I want that—martial arts, that’s awesome.”

“I want them all.” He leapt up, both hands in the air, like a child weighing a hundred and fifty pounds.

Guo Yinjv carefully selected every ticket, then paid for them all at once.

A total of 2.31 million.

The admission ticket was the cheapest.

When he submitted the payment, another page popped up.

“Visitor Rules… Violation will result in a permanent ban from Fantasy Park. What’s that about?” Guo Yinjv looked up.

Evidently, no one in the live chat knew either.

“Let’s take a look,” he said. “No harassing staff…”

He glanced at King Kong. “I doubt anyone has the guts to harass the staff.”

The chat erupted in laughter.

“No spitting, no relieving yourself anywhere, and especially not in the Transformers vehicles…” Guo Yinjv looked up. “I’d say no normal person would do that anyway, but if you don’t care about your life, feel free to try.”

He went through the visitor rules one by one, then concluded, “There’s quite a lot here, but it’s all useful.”

“Especially the parts in red—it says that when visiting the Dinosaur Park and Python Pavilion, you absolutely must not stray from the Transformers or Rampaging Dinosaur you’re riding, or you might end up as a snack for the other dinosaurs or pythons.”

“I think that’s very necessary.”

“I’ve seen a lot of people on Twitter discussing how to sneak into Fantasy Park and hide without leaving.”

“That’s actually really dangerous.”

“I strongly, strongly advise you not to do that.”

“If you ever get the chance to come in, be sure to follow the rules.”

After clicking “Accept,” Guo Yinjv confirmed his payment.

[As if we could even get in.]

[Over two million! So expensive!]

[Old Guo isn’t short on cash.]

[No one who can get in is short on cash.]

Reading these comments, Guo Yinjv smiled. “The tickets are a little expensive, but in this place, it’s actually not expensive at all.”

“Look, everyone buys tickets after coming in, but no one says the price is too high and wants to leave.”

“In fact, I know some people spent a fortune just to get their admission…”

“All in all, I think it’ll be worth it. The only pity is there’s nothing to eat in here.” He chuckled. “Because they close at five, and time’s limited. Let’s get in line now.”

Behind the ticket booth, which was only half the size of King Kong, was a small door.

After Guo Yinjv bought his tickets, the small door opened.

He stepped inside.

“Welcome to Fantasy Park.” A young man with a “Volunteer” armband greeted him in English.

“Hello.” Guo Yinjv glanced around and noticed everyone who’d entered before him had already left.

“Where did everyone go?” he asked.

“A group just left with the ‘Detective’ vehicle,” the volunteer replied. “Where would you like to go next?”

“I’d like to tour everywhere. What route should I take?” asked Guo Yinjv.

“If you want to visit all the sites, you can wait two minutes. The Rampaging Dinosaur will be here soon,” the volunteer replied. “You can ride it to tour the Dinosaur Park for an hour and a half, and then continue to the Python Pavilion…”

Guo Yinjv nodded enthusiastically.

He glanced at the chat and then asked curiously, “I watched Xiao Yu’s stream before, and there weren’t any volunteers mentioned. What’s going on?”

The volunteer smiled. “Since the first wave of visitors aren’t familiar with the park, Mr. Qiao recruited some volunteers from the public. We were selected a week ago and trained before starting.”

“How did you get picked? I never heard about it,” Guo Yinjv asked with interest.

“They picked randomly online—maybe the park has special criteria,” the volunteer replied. “I only found out because someone messaged me on a forum.”

“How many volunteers are there?” Guo Yinjv asked.

“A hundred,” the volunteer said.

“One hundred lucky ones, and none of them is me!” Guo Yinjv wailed at the camera.

[Be grateful—they gave you tickets, didn’t they?]

[Look at this guy!]

[Yinjv is too greedy.]
