Chapter 1381: New Famous Painting

December 28th, Friday 8 AM…
Pei Qian woke up early today and called Old Ma to the Thriller Hostel.
He wanted to secretly experience how fun the roller coaster of Operation Skylark was.
The last time he came, Pei Qian had wanted to arrange for Boss Li and the investors to suffer on the roller coaster. However, they were not frightened at all. Instead, they were all very excited and clamored to do it again.
Subsequently, Min Jingchao said that this group of people played for the entire afternoon. They only left reluctantly at night.
Pei Qian was a little curious. How fun was this roller coaster project?
However, Pei Qian did not experience it with these investors previously because he was afraid that it would ruin his character.
Thus, Pei Qian purposely pulled Old Ma along today, wanting to experience it in the morning.
Pei Qian was mainly worried that he would be so scared that he would shout out once or twice when he played with others. That would really not match Boss Pei’s character.
However, there would definitely not be such a problem playing with Old Ma. At that time, the entire venue might be filled with Old Ma’s loud shouts. It would definitely become the focus of the entire venue and could effectively cover up any sound from the others.
What’s more, there was no way Ma Yang would ruin his character.
According to the plan, Thriller Hostel would be open for business today, and the roller coaster project would officially start at 9 AM.
Pei Qian thought about arriving an hour early to experience it. That would be about it.
It did not seem right for him to not have played the roller coaster that he had invested more than a hundred million yuan in.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the attribute of this roller coaster was “fun” and not “exciting”. If it was the latter, Pei Qian would definitely not experience it. He would only think of ways to send his enemy up.
The car could not drive into Thriller Hostel. It could only be parked at the parking lot at the entrance.
However, there were public transport like balanced cars and sightseeing cars in the parking lot. They could be used in the park of Thriller Hostel.
He had already greeted Chen Kangtuo, so the staff waited in the parking lot in advance.
Pei Qian and Ma Yang boarded the sightseeing car and entered Thriller Hostel. Then, they walked towards the roller coaster project.
However, Pei Qian was shocked the moment he entered Thriller Hostel.
“So many people?!”
Compared to normal times, Thriller Hostel’s human traffic had skyrocketed!
It was only Friday morning!
There were people queuing in front of the three projects. The queue did not look long because those who were queuing were about to enter.
Thriller Hostel was an electronic queue. You could collect your number when you arrived at the venue. You did not have to wait at the same place after receiving your number. Instead, you could wander around. You would only have to rush to the venue to queue when you saw that you were almost on the application. Otherwise, you would not be able to wait for your number to pass.
There did not seem to be many people in front of the three projects, but they were all about to enter the experience. There was still an unknown number of people waiting elsewhere!
Fortunately, these three projects were not the only ones available in Thriller Hostel. Tourists could also go for coffee or wander around the Golden Maze.
“That’s strange. Why are these people playing these three old projects instead of queuing at the roller coasters?”
“Logically speaking, you should be tired of playing these three old projects, right?”
Pei Qian had never played these three projects, and he did not want to at all.
Fortunately, even though there was more traffic today than usual, it was Friday morning after all. Thus, the sightseeing car passed through the original park of Thriller Hostel without any obstacles and headed towards the roller coaster.
Now, Pei Qian finally understood why people were still playing with old projects.
There were more people here!
The original three projects of the roller coaster and Thriller Hostel were very far away. Both sides of this road had been blocked by various shops. Of course, Boss Li and the investors had done it.
Now, these shops were filled with people, just like some popular commercial streets!
The situation was even more tragic if he walked any further.
The entrance of the roller coaster project was filled with people.
Even though this roller coaster project was also a live number and an APP number, these people were obviously too passionate. The earliest group of people were squeezed at the entrance of the project, waiting to experience it once it opened at 9 AM.
There were already so many people waiting an hour in advance. Pei Qian could not imagine what time these people would arrive.
Fortunately, there was a staff passage, commonly known as a back door.
Pei Qian was afraid that he would meet familiar faces so he wore a mask as usual.
Pei Qian reminded Old Ma when they were about to reach the back door of the project. “I told you before to wear a mask. Did you bring it?”
It would be too strange if the two of them kept a low profile together.
“Yes!” Ma Yang was rather reliable when it came to such things. He took out a mask from his pocket and put it on seriously.
Pei Qian: “…”
There was nothing wrong with the mask or the way he wore it.
However, the crux was that Ma Yang’s face was too long. The mask could not cover the lower half once it covered the upper half.
Ordinary people would wear it like that. After the mask covered their noses, a part of their chin would still be exposed. It looked very strange, making people think of the perverted person wearing underpants.
It was no wonder that Old Ma rarely wore a mask. This objective condition was indeed not very supportive.
However, that was not a big deal. As long as the meaning was there.
He arrived at the staff entrance. Indeed, it was deserted. There was almost no one here.
Obviously, everyone had either gone to queue at the entrance of the project or to shop in the surrounding shops after receiving their number. Who would be so free to squat in the employee passage?
Tourists could not enter after all. There was no point in blocking the door.
However, there were only ‘almost no one’. From time to time, one or two passers-by would pass by curiously. Perhaps they were lost.
Pei Qian did not pay much attention to it as he brought Old Ma through the staff entrance.
Chen Kangtuo had arrived a long time ago. He brought the two of them in to experience the roller coaster of the Skylark Plan.
Soon, the round ended.
Ma Yang had obviously not recovered from his excitement. He was still holding onto his magnetic rail rifle and aiming it in all directions, making beeping sounds as he spoke.
“Wuhu! Brother Qian, this roller coaster is really too fun! Let’s go again!”
Pei Qian’s face darkened. “I’m not coming yet. Let’s talk about it another day.”
The roller coaster was indeed quite fun. It was very immersive, especially when the roller coaster was moving quickly and spinning. Zergs rushed over from all directions. Coupled with some realistic models, it made people nervous and excited. They could not even tell which were illusionary and which were reality.
The interaction was also very strong. They pulled the trigger with all their might to shoot at the Zergs and tried their best to fight their way out of the siege. It made their adrenaline soar, and they felt like they were playing an immersive VR game.
What’s more, this was even more exciting than VR games because it had a physical feel.
Firearms could vibrate and produce realistic sounds. There was a surround sound effect around them. The graphics were extremely immersive. Coupled with the weightlessness brought by the roller coaster itself, the experience could be said to be maxed out.
However, the bad thing was this’ very interactive ‘.
Pei Qian already knew that there were different routes on this roller coaster. Tourists had to shoot hard to enter different routes.
The worst outcome would be not doing anything and being brought out of the Zergs’ nest by Captain Qin Yi. The best outcome would be that all four of them were very supportive and chose the right route. That way, they would be able to kill their way into the depths of the Zergs’ nest and behead the Zerg Queen.
Other than that, there were other endings that could be simply regarded as different levels.
They had also failed to complete the decapitation operation. Some ended up leaving the depths of the cave in dirt. Some ended up killing their way out of the siege, breaking through the surface of the Zergs’ nest, and soaring to a height of thousands of meters. They could see the dense human fleet in the sky and the sea of insects below, which was addictive.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. They might not have enough firepower to hit the Zerg Queen even though there were two of them. However, it should not be difficult to look at the scene in the sky after playing a little, right?
In the end, they realized that Old Ma did not seem to be here at all!
He heard Old Ma shouting, screaming, and shooting at him. However, after a long time, where were his bullets?
Pei Qian had been working so hard with the magnetic rail rifle, but he could not feel any fire support from Old Ma.
Pei Qian could not help but recall the scene when he played Gods Rising and GOG with Old Ma. It was as if he did not exist the entire time…
He could only say that Old Ma was still Old Ma. He might have changed from the long-faced Ma to the current Boss Ma but his initial intentions had not changed. He was a pure slacker no matter what game he played.
He ended up with the worst ending. Was there a need to experience it again?
One had to know that this ending was something that all tourists could achieve by not doing anything, not shooting, only watching the scenery in their seats!
Play it again with Old Ma?
That was simply a form of torture.
Seeing that Old Ma was still not satisfied, Pei Qian persuaded him. “There are so many people queuing at the entrance today. Let the tourists experience it first.”
“We can experience it any time we want. When we get back, find an opportunity to organize a cohesion at the Sealed Garden of Thriller Hostel. You can pull the employees from Bunny Tail Live-Stream over and let them play this roller coaster with you until you kill the Zerg Queen.”
Pei Qian knew himself very well. He would definitely not be able to bring Old Ma along. It was better to let Old Ma’s exclusive team complete this.
Ma Yang was elated. “Alright, that’s a deal! I’ll wait for your arrangements, Brother Qian!”
Pei Qian called Chen Kangtuo over. “If there’s no problem with the equipment, let’s start it in advance. I think everyone is waiting outside. They’re very passionate. Opening it an hour earlier would allow tourists to experience it.”
“Those who can come so early are all true love. Let everyone play two more rounds.”
In any case, at this point, the popularity of the roller coaster was already set. There was no point in hiding it. Let nature take its course!
Chen Kangtuo was stunned for a moment before he nodded. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll arrange it now.”
Pei Qian brought Old Ma and the others out of the staff entrance.
However, this time, the people who had been wandering around the employee entrance discovered the two of them.
“Didn’t you just go in not long ago? The staff should be busy today, right? Why are you leaving?”
“Tsk… this person’s face is too long, even his mask can’t cover it? Isn’t this Boss Ma?”
Ma Yang was now considered an internet celebrity. After all, he used to live-stream live commerce and had spent money on Weibo before. Many people had seen Boss Ma online before.
Logically speaking, he should not be able to recognize him with a mask on. However, his face was too long and was too recognizable. He would not be able to hide this obvious characteristic even with a mask on.
“If it really is Boss Ma, then wouldn’t the other one be…”
“No wonder this back view looks so familiar!”
The onlookers were instantly excited.. They could not contain their excitement as they took out their cell phones and took a picture of their backs as they left the employee passage.
