Chapter 2252: A Special Restaurant
Next up is the four-star district.
Before he even went inside, Zhao Chen could feel Chu Xuan's body trembling little by little.
"Darling, it's getting late."
"How about we find a place to eat first?" Zhao Chen suggested.
"Yes, it's time to eat," Chu Xuan agreed.
When Nannan heard about eating, she immediately pointed to a restaurant at the entrance of the Four Star Street area: "Okay."
I had previously seen that there was a horror restaurant in this four-star neighborhood that served food.
How about we eat here?
Hearing what Nannan said, Chu Xuan's expression was quite helpless.
There's no way to avoid it.
Since Nannan had said so, Zhao Chen and Chu Xuan naturally didn't want to spoil her mood.
Before going in, Zhao Chen leaned close to Chu Xuan's ear and whispered, "If you can't accept it..."
You can wait for us outside.
"I can go in with my daughter."
Chu Xuan shook her head and said seriously, "We promised Nannan that we would play with her properly."
Since Nannan likes it here.
Then it's time for our whole family to play together.
This opportunity is invaluable for both us and for our daughter.
I don't want my daughter to be unhappy or regretful at all this time.
Don't worry about me, this little bit of fear is nothing. I know it's all fake.
...
"Mommy!" Chu Xuan tugged at Zhao Chen's sleeve and buried her head in his armpit.
If Zhao Chen had a hole in him right now, she would want to crawl into it.
This made her think.
Why doesn't Zhao Chen have any holes or bags on his body?
She knew that there was an interstellar race.
Men are born with a pouch, just like kangaroos.
The children and wife can hide inside the bag.
If only Zhao Chen were like this now.
She can then hide inside.
Zhao Chen was unaware that Chu Xuan now wished she could become a kangaroo.
Walking into this four-star neighborhood, Nannan has now gotten used to the atmosphere and has even started to take Zhao Chen and Chu Xuan with her.
"Mom and Dad, the place to eat is right here!" Nannan pointed to a building in front of her.
There is a sign on the building.
It was marked "Cemetery".
Who's the kind person who eats in a cemetery?
Although there are indeed symbols of knives, forks, and plates next to the two words.
But why does this look so strange?
After entering the cemetery.
Then a skeleton-like figure walked over.
"Hello, how many people are in your party?"
Looking at the skeleton in front of me.
The little girl happily held up three fingers: "Three people."
"Please follow me." The skeleton led the way.
Soon, Zhao Chen and the other two were taken to a grave.
Yes, it's a grave.
To be precise, it's the kind of structure where there's a monument in front, a coffin behind the monument, and four chairs around the coffin.
Is this supposed to be letting them eat on their coffins?
Zhao Chen couldn't help but admire the designer's skill in creating such a clever setup.
It's impressive that someone can still have an appetite in this kind of environment.
However, it's also clear that not many people can accept this.
Because there were only a few tables of customers in this restaurant.
"Please order," the skeleton continued in its chilling voice, handing a blood-stained menu to the three of them.
Chu Xuan didn't move. From the moment she entered the cemetery, she had been gripping Zhao Chen's wrist tightly, not daring to move an inch.
"Give me a bite, little one," Zhao Chen said.
Nannan looked at the menu, and then she did something unexpected. She reached out and rubbed the blood on the menu, then put it to her nose and smelled it.
Finally, I licked it.
"Jam, so sweet!" Nannan exclaimed excitedly.
The skeleton NPC was dumbfounded; he probably never expected that this five-year-old child would do something like this.
He was somewhat stunned when he saw a five-year-old child appear here.
How daring must these parents be to bring a five-year-old child here?
Aren't you afraid of scaring someone badly?
But now it seems he was very wrong; the child wasn't afraid at all.
Even now, it seems that the little girl was actually enjoying it.
"I want this one, this one."
And this too.
"The name of this dish is quite interesting." Nannan ordered a lot at once.
After ordering halfway through, Nannan looked at Zhao Chen with some difficulty: "Daddy, these dishes are all quite expensive..."
Zhao Chen glanced at the price.
That price is indeed not cheap.
Although you can't tell what kind of dish it is from the name, some restaurants charge thousands of yuan for just one dish.
But considering the environment, the price seems understandable.
After all, what normal person eats on a coffin in a cemetery?
"It's okay, just order whatever you like."
"We're not short of money," Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Nannan ordered several more dishes.
"Please... wait a moment." After saying that, the skeleton left.
Then, the snacks and drinks were served first.
The drink was a bright red liquid, and there were eyeballs floating in it.
I don't know what the eyeballs are made of, but they really look like real eyes.
Zhao Chen picked it up and took a sip.
Lemon Coke.
Chu Xuan stared at the drink, hesitant to drink it for a long time.
Although she knew the colors and the eyes inside were fake, she still couldn't accept it.
As for the snacks...
It's called "live nail peeling".
One of the plates had pieces of fingernails on it, but after eating a few, it turned out to be potato chips.
There were also servings of grilled skewers.
The sign reads "Eyeball Skewers".
Looking at those eyeballs.
Zhao Chen had lost his appetite.
But Nannan didn't hesitate at all and took a bite right away.
"This tastes like... mutton..."
Lamb eyeballs?
What kind of cutting-edge technology made this?
"Mom, would you like a bite?" Nannan handed the eyeball skewer to Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but swallow, but how could she refuse food offered by her precious daughter?
In the end, all I could do was take a deep breath, bite off an eyeball from the skewer, and chew it a few times.
The taste was indeed that of mutton.
However, considering that she had bitten an eyeball, Chu Xuan didn't have much time for savoring the thought and quickly swallowed the eyeball.
It's fair to say that she didn't appreciate the food at all and didn't care what she was actually eating.
And the main courses that followed were even more exquisite than the last.
For example: stir-fried human liver, noodles mixed with corpse oil, hot pot made with freshly slaughtered human flesh, cake made with human brain, etc.
Everyone knows what human liver is, like beef liver.
But the problem is when the food is served.
A person wearing a white hospital gown came up, reached into the liver area, and pulled out a liver.
Then the chefs on the side cook it right there.
You ask where the chef comes from?
Under the coffin lid.
Especially that hot pot.
A person who was struggling was carried up by several other monsters, and then they began to scrape flesh off the body on the spot.
The man's screams, the others' laughter.
It became the accompaniment for the live performance.
Then the shaved-off meat was placed in a steaming hot pot shaped like a skull.
This was the first time Zhao Chen had ever tasted such a unique hot pot.
I must say, the taste is quite good.
At least that's what he thinks.
Chu Xuan barely touched her chopsticks throughout the entire meal; every time a dish was served, she wished she could close her eyes.
The little girl, however, ate with great relish.
They would also occasionally offer a comment.
"You cut it in the wrong place; the meat there is too fatty."
"Uncle, isn't it too stuffy cooking down there?"
"This idea isn't fresh enough."
The NPCs were all very surprised to hear such a cute child say such things.
Who would have thought that a five-year-old child would not only not be frightened here, but could even offer some comments?
Time passed little by little.
The delicious meal was over in no time.
Zhao Chen looked at Chu Xuan, whose face was pale, with some sympathy. He had originally wanted her to take a break and rest during the meal.
But now it seems that Chu Xuan has no chance to rest at all.
On the contrary, they were quite frightened.
The next project is also extremely terrifying.
After experiencing the four-star district, the five-star district comes next.
Within the Five Star District.
Not only are there scary projects, but there are also tasks that they need to do.
For example, haunted old villages, or embroidered shoes for brides.
To explain the differences between these different levels of difficulty.
If the previous one-star and two-star ratings were for individual, standalone attractions, then these horror elements were what drew in tourists.
So when it comes to four-star and five-star hotels, they force these tourists to seek out these horror elements.
Add to that the enclosed space, the lighting, the environment, and the even more terrifying and proactive NPCs, and the horror factor is pushed to the maximum.
Several times, Chu Xuan disregarded her image and jumped directly onto Chu Xuan.
When the family of three finally walked out of the horror-themed amusement park.
Zhao Chen felt that his back was a little wet, and Chu Xuan's face was really pale.
She had never experienced such discomfort when she built those poorly equipped starships and completed warp drive in her early years.
But Nannan was very happy at that moment.
"Mom and Dad, this amusement park is so much fun!"
"Let's come again next time, okay?" Nannan looked at her parents excitedly.
Chu Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
This trip left her feeling like she'd lost half her life.
If she had to go through it all again, she really couldn't guarantee that her soul would still be there.
"Daughter, this time your dad and mom are with you."
Next time, how about we find someone else to keep you company?
For example, there was that Annie sister before.
Didn't you say that Sister Annie was very interesting?
"I'll help you ask her out next time," Zhao Chen suggested.
Speaking of that lovely sister Annie.
The little girl nodded happily.
"OK."
Annie, who was still working diligently at her post, couldn't help but shudder and shiver.
For some reason, she had a feeling that she was being targeted by something bad.
We visited two amusement parks in one day, and now it was completely dark outside.
Although the amusement park is open at night.
However, Zhao Chen decided to take Nannan to rest for the night first, as sleep is very important for children of Nannan's age.
Moreover, the place where they sleep happens to be an amusement park.
Underwater amusement park.
This is the most seaside amusement park in the entire Xiaolong Amusement Park, because half of its area is submerged in the sea.
The hotel where Zhao Chen and his two companions will be staying tonight is also the most famous hotel in this underwater amusement park.
Inside the hotel.
It's all glass on all sides, glass overhead, and glass all around.
You can see the seawater and various marine life through the glass.
Whales, sharks, squid, and all sorts of colorful fish roam this area.
You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the deep sea simply by lying in bed.
It is absolutely breathtaking.
When Nannan entered the room, she originally wanted to admire the scenery a little longer, but she fell asleep while looking at it.
She even had a smile on her face when she went to sleep.
You can tell she had a lot of fun today, but she's also very tired.
After watching Nannan fall asleep, Zhao Chen patted Chu Xuan and pointed outside.
Chu Xuan opened her eyes and saw Zhao Chen's gesture.
It's time to sleep, why are you asking me to go out?
Could it be that you want that?
Chu Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Although she and Zhao Chen had already been intimate, and she became pregnant after being shot once.
But at that time it was a one-woman show for her.
Now, facing Zhao Chen in his conscious state, she was still somewhat nervous.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed.
But Zhao Chen didn't give her a chance to speak and had already walked out of the room.
Is he in such a hurry?
My little girl is still here.
After confirming that Nannan was asleep, Chu Xuan tiptoed out and carefully closed the door.
She looked at the pajamas she was wearing.
Isn't this pajama set a bit too plain?
He sniffed his own body.
Did you wash yourself clean when you took a shower?
It feels like there's something that wasn't washed clean.
At this moment, Chu Xuan was already lost in her own thoughts.
What are you still standing there for?
"Come over here quickly." Zhao Chen looked at Chu Xuan, who was standing there in a daze, and pointed towards the suite's dining room.
"Here?" Chu Xuan was startled.
"If not here, do you want to stay in the room?"
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing the little girl?" Zhao Chen asked rhetorically.
Chu Xuan was a little confused. Did this suite not have any other rooms?
And being in the kitchen... it always feels a bit stimulating.
If Nannan opens the door at night and sees this, she will be too ashamed to face anyone.
"If all else fails... shall we open another one?"
"It wouldn't be good to disturb Nannan here," Chu Xuan said hesitantly.
Zhao Chen looked at Chu Xuan suspiciously, pointing to the food already laid out on the table: "Open another room?"
"It's just getting something to eat, why do we need to open another room?"
On the table, there was a variety of delicious food, still steaming hot.
Chu Xuan looked at the food, then glanced at Zhao Chen with surprise.
"Did you invite me out for a meal?"
Zhao Chen squinted at Chu Xuan, as if he could see through Chu Xuan's little thoughts.
Of course.
I noticed you didn't eat much at the cemetery last time.
You must be hungry by now.
So I ordered some food and had them brought it in.
Of course, if you eat all of this and it's still not enough.
I can also grant your wish and let you eat whatever you want.
Zhao Chen's final smile carried a hint of ambiguity.
