Chapter 105

Tang Tian beside her: Shi Jian is straightforward—just said she didn’t want to play anymore, changed her mind.

Tang Tian, like Shi Jian, raised her face and agreed, “Yeah! So what!”

As consumers, don’t they even have the freedom to decide what to play?

Shi Jian even thought of one thing—if the amusement staff refused her,

could she complain about them?

At this thought, Shi Jian couldn’t help but smile slightly. She asked tentatively, “Not allowed?”

The staff said nothing for a moment.

For some reason, she felt the beautiful woman in front of her was trying to trap her, so the staff decisively replied, “Allowed.”

“Are you two guests sure you want to end now?”

“The line is very long.”

While saying this, she gestured to the long queue outside the railing—it really was a long line.

If Shi Jian wasn’t live streaming, she really wanted to lose face—no complaint possible.

But there was no way she would ride the drop tower.

Shi Jian confirmed they wanted to end, then quickly left the drop tower with Tang Tian.

“I wonder what would have happened if we had stayed on the drop tower.”

Tang Tian barely finished her sentence when the drop tower started. Their now-empty seats were quickly taken by other visitors.

Then a row of passengers climbed the ride higher and higher until, at the highest point, the seats suddenly “click” detached.

The row of passengers screamed and fell from high up, smashing into a pile of gore on the ground.

Tang Tian: “...”

Shi Jian: “...”

Though Shi Jian had seen many storms and was somewhat prepared, witnessing a group of people instantly die still caused her considerable trauma.

Sanity plummeted.

The drop tower—it really is a death tower!

Luckily, they ran fast!

...

Shi Jian and Tang Tian had not yet escaped the shadow of the drop tower when they were fortunate enough to see the flying chairs nearby.

The flying chairs took off, then all the visitors were thrown off for free, scattering in all directions.

They didn’t see more because a scruffy middle-aged man anxiously came up to call them over.

“What are you all just standing here for? Hurry up and gather by the restaurant entrance...”The middle-aged man not only called over Shi Jian and Tang Tian but also the duckbill cap girl who seemed to be a streamer.

However, after seeing the label stuck on the duckbill cap girl, his expression became somewhat subtle.

“Why do you have this sticker on you?” he asked the duckbill cap girl.

Shi Jian and Tang Tian, as the man approached, guessed he was likely an NPC here to guide everyone through the process.

Their phones showed no updates for the moment; based on past experience, if a task hadn’t been sent to their phones yet, there would be an NPC leading the team.

Like the butler in the newbie dungeon, the head instructor at Qingshan No. 1 High School, and recently the senior student.

Shi Jian and Tang Tian exchanged glances, both confused about what this label was all about.

The duckbill cap girl, already a bit panicked because of the sticker she couldn’t peel off, now became even more terrified.

She asked the middle-aged man, “What’s wrong with this sticker?”

The man didn’t explain fully but said, “You’ll know soon enough.”

“Let’s first gather with the main group.”

The man teased them, and Shi Jian and Tang Tian had no choice but to follow him to find the group.

Actually, it was just the streamer group.

This time the number of people was quite large; Shi Jian roughly estimated it was about the same as the group going to the orphanage in the welfare dungeon.

...

The middle-aged man explained the situation as he stood at the front, facing the streamers.

With passionate and serious expression, he said, “Hello to the twenty colleagues here. We are currently at the Dreamland, the largest facility with the richest variety of amusement content. Dreamland welcomes countless visitors every day, but in three months, Dreamland will close down and be abandoned.”

“Isn’t it strange that such a bustling amusement park will be deserted in just three months?”

The middle-aged man: Strange, right? Such a huge amusement park closing in just three months!

A clear female voice sounded.

“It doesn’t seem that strange.”

The speaker was Shi Jian.

Shi Jian pointed out, “Because of the deaths.”

She glanced outside and gestured to the middle-aged man, “Look.”

The restaurant wasn’t far from the drop tower, and now another batch of visitors had been smashed into a pile of gore.

Who would want to play? It’s a death sentence.

Shi Jian felt it was very strange and ridiculous that visitors seemed to continue playing excitedly as if they didn’t see such scenes.

This could only happen in a dungeon like this.

The middle-aged man was speechless.

...【Hahaha, damn, my internet mouthpiece for the streamer is online again!】

【No NPC can escape Fairy Shi Jian’s questioning and logic, none!】

【The senior who just logged off sent a congratulatory message to the new unlucky one, wishing you a pleasant dungeon run.】

【Yacht ×20】

【Flowers ×520】

【Shi Jian: Not strange at all, dear.】

【Other streamers’ faces also showed similar expressions.】

【Come on, place your bets—will the new NPC choose to ignore the streamers or keep arguing with them?】

The middle-aged man seemed to have some life experience; compared to the rookie senior, he had an instinct for avoiding troublemakers.

Yes, avoiding Shi Jian.

So he ignored Shi Jian and continued speaking as if nothing was wrong.

“What we need to do is conduct an in-depth investigation. Within 72 hours, everyone must submit a ‘Dreamland Decline Hypothesis Report’ and propose effective and reasonable solutions.”

“To carry out this in-depth investigation, everyone must participate in project check-ins, no slacking off. Practice is the only standard to verify truth.”

When he said this, everyone perked up their ears.

Because this was probably the requirement to clear the dungeon.

Project check-ins?

Almost everyone showed a worried expression.

One streamer asked, “Do we have to check in for all projects?”

The park is so huge; wouldn’t that be impossible?

The middle-aged man shook his head, pulling out some printed sheets. Tang Tian took one as well, showing various projects grouped by type.

The good news—

Not all projects require check-ins.

The bad news—

Shi Jian frowned and complained, “Why do we still have to pick one from the high-altitude projects?”

It wasn’t just high-altitude; for each project type, you had to check in on one of them.

Shi Jian’s thought, shared by many streamers, was that it would be best if they could pick any they wanted—then everyone would choose the easier ones.

But this path was blocked.

Shi Jian also noticed something else: she suddenly looked sharply toward the duckbill cap girl not far away.

The duckbill cap girl’s face was pale; her eyes fixed tightly on the project sheet. Finally, as if her mindset completely collapsed, she broke down crying loudly.

The duckbill cap girl thought she had escaped one disaster, but little did she know, another awaited her.Now Shi Jian and Tang Tian finally understood the purpose of the label that the amusement park staff had stuck on the duckbill cap girl.

The duckbill cap girl was restricted from playing any dangerous and thrilling projects, but one of the clearance tasks was that she had to check in.

This also meant that from the very start, she was already facing elimination—she couldn't leave this dungeon.

The game's cruelty hit head-on; Shi Jian and Tang Tian almost became among those who said goodbye to clearing the dungeon right at the start.

Just by a hair.

Shi Jian felt a wave of lingering fear, a chill rushing from her feet straight to her head.

The cruelty was not limited to just this.

Tang Tian also noticed, “Shi Jian, didn’t he say there were twenty people? It seems like we add up to only nineteen.”

Including the duckbill cap girl, there were only nineteen streamers present.

“One is already dead.”

Before Shi Jian could reply, a somewhat heavy female voice answered Tang Tian.

The speaker was a girl with gray-blue wolf-tail hair; she stood out in the crowd with a cool and sharp aura, and she stood firm in front of Shi Jian.

“It was a male streamer. When he was on the roller coaster project, he smashed his head into the iron frame; his head separated from his body.”

This dungeon was truly perilous.
