Chapter 275 Semifinals (1)
Gu Shijiu looked up at the huge sign in front of her, which was flashing with colorful lights—Piaomiao Amusement Park.
An amusement park named after the whole world must be so much fun!
Gu Shijiu was quite tempted; it had been a long time since she had last been to an amusement park.
She is currently on a small earthen mound at the park entrance, where she can see the roller coaster, Ferris wheel, and other amusement facilities in the distance through the fence.
However, there are no tourists inside yet.
Gu Shijiu looked at the people around her; Shi Qi wasn't there.
"Welcome to the Misty Amusement Park, everyone. We are delighted to welcome you."
A languid female voice approached from afar, and a girl dressed in an elaborate Lolita dress and small leather shoes strolled over, carrying an orange cat.
Gu Shijiu stared curiously at her red pupils, somewhat envious: "Your eyes are so beautiful."
"Thank you, you look good too." The girl across from me smiled and engaged in a round of mutual compliments.
Some people were getting impatient: "Isn't this supposed to be an acting competition? What is this all about? It looks more like an amusement park in a fairy tale kingdom."
"Have you been to that amusement park too? It's really fun, but the location is a bit out of the way," one contestant chimed in.
Gu Shijiu had also been there, but she didn't say anything.
The girl suddenly appeared and pulled out a huge signboard from thin air, sticking it into the ground. Several contestants' eyes twitched as they watched.
They had just tried it; this place has limitations on abilities and cultivation levels, but it didn't reduce them to zero, which shows it's a world with spirits.
The playground is surrounded by paved ground, and this little girl, who looks like an employee, easily inserted such a large sign into it, which looks like a warning no matter how you look at it.
"Imperial Amusement Park Precautions":
It is a great honor for all of us at this amusement park to meet you all. To ensure that visitors have a better experience of the park's facilities, we have established the following rules.
1. No ticket is required to enter this park, and all visitors will receive an initial 15 play points. Each day spent in the park will consume 10 points.
2. When a visitor has less than 10 play points remaining, they will randomly lose one of their carried items;
3. If you exit the amusement park and re-enter, your play value will be restored to its initial value;
4. When the play value is 0, visitors will no longer be able to enter the amusement park;
5. The amusement park is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Players who need to leave temporarily should do so within the designated opening hours.
6. Completing a game will earn you 5 game points, so please participate actively.
7. We hope that visitors will keep the above rules in mind and consciously abide by them, so as to jointly create a harmonious and joyful amusement park.
Gu Shijiu frowned as she looked at the notice board. She didn't understand the complicated rules at all.
Below the rules is a map of the park.
The amusement park has four main gates. Entering through different gates leads to different areas, and each area has several independent paths.
No wonder there are still twenty contestants left, but only a few here. It seems the others might have appeared at other entrances.
One participant has already started asking: "Does this mean that if I have less than 10 play points left today, I can leave the amusement park and come back tomorrow?"
The girl holding the cat nodded: "That's right, otherwise, we'll lose something."
She didn't say what they would lose, but it seemed like she had already said it, since everyone came in empty-handed.
Aside from the clothes and shoes, there was nothing else on them, so the amusement park probably wasn't interested in these outfits.
The contestant then asked, "If that's the case, what's the purpose of the play value? If it drops below 10, you can just leave immediately, right?"
"But no matter which door you come in from, you have to start from the first attraction again. You can only play the others after you've cleared the first one."
The girl smiled with a hint of malice, and the orange cat in her arms meowed.
"Apart from that, play points and tickets are similar in function, each activity requires about 5 play points to play."
Also, if you're staying long, you'll need to eat eventually; you can use your visit points to buy all the merchandise inside the park.
The group exchanged glances, and a middle-aged man who hadn't spoken until now asked, "What if you don't want to continue playing the game halfway through?"
"A certain amount of play points will be deducted. Play points can be traded between players. If you have any further questions, we can discuss them once you're inside."
The girl suddenly became impatient, scratched the cat's chin a couple of times, and hurriedly left.
Unfortunately, recording tools were not allowed in. Everyone else had already left, and Gu Shijiu was still staring blankly at the notice board.
She counted on her fingers for a long time and found that she currently had 15 play points, and she had to spend 10 every day, which meant she actually only had 5 left.
These 5 play points can only be used to play one activity. If you win, you still have 5 points; if you lose, you have 0 points.
In other words, you can only win the first game and not lose, otherwise you can never enter the amusement park again. It's basically a competition with eliminations.
After calculating for a while, Gu Shijiu suddenly realized something.
You need 5 to play a game, and you only get 5 if you win. Even if you keep winning, you'll only ever have 5 play points.
On the second day, you either leave or something is taken away from you. What about the third and fourth days?
Gu Shijiu couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, so she followed the other contestants at a distance into the amusement park.
On both sides of the road are open and well-maintained green lawns, with several snack trucks and ice cream trucks on the lawns;
Sunlight streamed onto the ground, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
The closest attraction was the roller coaster. Gu Shijiu turned her gaze to the venue not far away, where the road disappeared.
But obviously this venue is not the end, so you can only choose one of the roller coaster and the venue as the starting point.
Gu Shijiu felt that this was similar to some games she had played, where you had to complete a level before you could move on to the next.
The group stopped in front of the roller coaster, seemingly wanting to try the nearest attraction first.
Gu Shijiu walked around the roller coaster and stepped over to check out the venue.
"Hey, aren't you going to ride the roller coaster? The whole route is outdoors, it doesn't look dangerous." A kind-looking young woman called out to her.
"Aren't you actors?" Gu Shijiu asked seriously. "In movies and TV shows, roller coasters and Ferris wheels are usually places where people die."
"Um..." the young woman hesitated for a moment, "Then where are you going?"
Gu Shijiu walked quickly to the outside of the venue, where two large characters on the door reflected the light: Haunted House.
"I'll go here."
The young woman looked on with a respectful expression: "Hehe, then I'll go on the roller coaster instead."
Damn it, everyone knows these things can damage your mental strength.
This guy must be a complete idiot!
