The front row of a roller coaster offers the most visual impact, but the truly terrifying spot is actually the last row. If you want to enjoy the visual impact, naturally, you choose the front row. But if you want to enjoy the ultimate speed, the last row is recomnded.
After the safety attendant buckled Luofeng in, Liu Hanyan proactively grabbed Luofeng’s arm, encouraging him, "Big King, you have to hang in there!"
"Yeah!" Luofeng took a deep breath.
When the roller coaster slowly started and then reached the precipice of its descent, Luofeng still let out a roar.
Alright then. Brother Feng admits defeat. This fucking roller coaster is simply toxic. Just for a mont there, Luofeng even wondered if the Danger Prediction Card had crashed. That feeling—it was like the roller coaster was about to collapse, right? And still no danger alert?
When the roller coaster finally returned to the station, Luofeng sighed in relief. He swore this would be the absolute last ti he ever rode a roller coaster.
After getting off, Luofeng retrieved his Patek Philippe watch from the locker area and put it back on. chanical wristwatches are delicate devices. Apart from a few specialized pilot’s watches, most fine tipieces are not recomnded to be worn on roller coasters; the excessive centrifugal force could cause them to malfunction.
"Big King, are you okay?" Liu Hanyan looked at Luofeng with concern.
"No problem. It was indeed terrifying on the roller coaster just now, but now that I’m standing on solid ground again, I feel completely fine," Luofeng affird with a nod.
"Thank you, Big King." Liu Hanyan took Luofeng’s arm.
The two of them left the roller coaster area. Liu Hanyan then pulled Luofeng over to a balloon-popping ga booth. Luofeng only needed one look to see through the scam. These types of balloon-popping stalls offering plush toys as prizes were all scams, without exception. The vendors intentionally tampered with the air guns; even if you aid perfectly, there was always a degree of random deviation.
"Hey handso, pretty lady, want to try popping so balloons?" the middle-aged male stall owner called out.
Luofeng imdiately declined and then quietly explained the situation to Liu Hanyan.
"Are they really that crooked?" Liu Hanyan said in surprise.
"Of course," Luofeng chuckled. "Otherwise, at a distance of just two or three ters, what kind of idiot wouldn’t be able to hit a balloon?"
"Let tell you about another scam," Luofeng revealed. "See that ga over there where you throw basketballs to knock down cans?"
That ga involved a pyramid of a dozen or so drink cans, with four cans at the base and one at the very top. If you managed to knock down all the cans, you would win a hefty prize. For example, you might pay ten yuan for three throws, with a prize of one thousand yuan. A reward of one thousand yuan wasn’t excessively high or low; it seed quite reasonable. If they claid it was a million, even a fool would know it was a scam.
Actually, a little thought was all it took to realize that the diater of a basketball simply couldn’t cover all four cans at the base simultaneously. Therefore, it was naturally impossible to knock down all the cans in one go. More critically, the vendors also cheated. The four cans on the bottom layer were all filled with sand, and crystal glue was used to solidify the sand, making them even more stable. Even if a math genius ca along and calculated the perfect rebound trajectory to cover all the cans, they still wouldn’t succeed.
Of course, most people knew these gas were rigged, so why did they still play? Weren’t they at an amusent park to have fun? Why get hung up on such things? It was like wealthy people tipping a female strear thousands of yuan, even knowing she was probably a "beauty monster" like Qiao Biluo, relying heavily on beauty filters. They tipped anyway. If you didn’t have money, you might think they were idiots. But for them, spending a few thousand yuan was like spending a few cents; they didn’t care.
"Is this also a scam?" Liu Hanyan exclaid, her worldview practically overturned. She had always thought it was a matter of skill, strength, and luck.
"Of course, it’s a scam. How else would they make money?"
"Then we won’t play," Liu Hanyan said without hesitation. Knowing it was a scam and still playing? That wasn’t Liu Hanyan’s style.
But at that very mont, Luofeng rembered sothing: a Prop Card. This particular one was an "Amusent Park Thrill Experience Prop Card." The card’s conditions were very simple: the host could invite up to two people of the opposite sex to an amusent park to experience thrilling attractions. After the thrilling attractions were completed, a comprehensive calculation would be perford based on the level of thrill experienced by the companions, their satisfaction, and a random coefficient from 1 to 1,000. Then, a cashback reward would be given based on the amusent park’s ticket price.
There was a friendly additional condition. If the thrilling experiences were completed within the sa day, then for any companion of the opposite sex who had participated and subsequently, proactively invited the host to dine, their al expenses would also be included in the cashback calculation. That was quite user-friendly.
Luofeng had already experienced the Ferris Wheel and the roller coaster today. So, there was no need for more experiences? Would the reward be factored in when Liu Hanyan treated him to dinner later? This reward is quite interesting. It strongly hinted at sothing. Luofeng must get a free al today. But Little Fairy would love to treat Luofeng to a al, right?
The two quickly got into the car. As Luofeng drove, he reminisced about the food from his dad’s old catering group, "That taste from my mories, it hasn’t changed a bit. It really makes you sigh at how ti flies!"
"Little Fairy, do you have any morable dishes from your past?" Luofeng asked after finishing his story.
"Of course, I do!" Liu Hanyan replied. "Big King, have you ever had Dried Fish Maw & Chicken?"
"I have!" Luofeng nodded without hesitation. Recently, Dried Fish Maw & Chicken had beco quite popular in Shu City, and perhaps even nationwide. After all, it aligned well with modern dietary concepts.
"Actually, I first had Dried Fish Maw & Chicken when I was in junior high," Liu Hanyan said nostalgically. "I still rember the taste from that very first ti!"
"Shall we go try it then? Do you know a good place?" Luofeng asked.
"Of course, I do!" Liu Hanyan quickly set up the navigation for Luofeng.
As Luofeng drove, Liu Hanyan explained, "My mother’s family is from Shanghai; my grandmother lived there. Back in junior high, during school holidays, I’d visit my grandmother, and she took to eat Dried Fish Maw & Chicken once!"
So? Little Fairy’s family was from Shuangqing, but her mother’s family was from Shanghai?
"After my grandmother passed away, I never went back to eat it. Dried Fish Maw & Chicken beca just a taste in my mory!" Liu Hanyan continued.
Luofeng tentatively asked, "In that case, should we pick another place?"
"It’s okay," Liu Hanyan explained. "My grandmother lived a long, full life, so her passing was considered a joyous occasion. I’m just feeling nostalgic; the place won’t make sad."
"Mhm!" Luofeng nodded.
"I’ve always wanted to go back and try that restaurant’s Dried Fish Maw & Chicken, but I never had anyone to go with . I even thought about going when I was scouting locations for my food show, but I ultimately decided against it." Liu Hanyan said she wasn’t afraid of old mories stirring up emotions, but in truth, she was. With Luofeng around, though, perhaps it would be better?
Around six o’clock, they arrived at an old residential building. Luofeng looked at the shop’s sign: Jiulong Collagen Chicken Dining Company? He quickly parked the car by the roadside.
Liu Hanyan took Luofeng’s hand and led the way. "This place’s Dried Fish Maw & Chicken is probably the best and most authentic in the entire area," she introduced. Then, she lowered her voice, "I heard that Uncle Wang, the owner, offended soone on Hongkang Island and ended up choosing to develop his business here!"
Oh? Such a story? But Luofeng saw through it in an instant. A restaurant owner who offended soone on Hongkang Island and fled to a faraway place—why would he tell people about it? If it was serious enough for him to flee, wouldn’t he be worried his enemies would find out if he spoke of it? So, stories like that were just to fool people, to create a bit of a background narrative, that’s all.
