FPE Chapter 6

The original large iron gate of the amusement park had already been removed. At the original gate’s position, workers were laying bricks, seemingly wanting to enclose the original gate along with a large empty space nearby within a perimeter wall. And about several dozen steps to the left of the original gate, they had knocked down a wall and opened a large doorway, apparently planning to create a new gate there.

Old Wang was a generation older than Chi Yizhen. Back in the day, he had been a neighbor living next to Chi Yizhen’s grandmother. Seeing the amusement park undergoing such major construction, he assumed Chi Yizhen had struck it rich and couldn’t wait to go inside to take a look. The result was a huge disappointment—inside the amusement park, nothing had changed at all! So it was just changing the facade!

Seeing that Chi Yizhen had taken away the flyers and banner he’d made, Old Wang couldn’t help but say, “You’re… planning to open the park already?”

Chi Yizhen nodded. Old Wang blurted out, “Will anyone actually come to this run-down amusement park?”

Chi Yizhen wore a profound expression. “I have my own clever plan.”

Old Wang gave a dismissive laugh, thinking this kid had either gone stupid or was bluffing. He couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. “Young people these days just won’t work hard and steadily. They only know how to take shortcuts. That won’t last long.”

Chi Yizhen didn’t respond, instead watching the workers do their job from the side. Seeing him act this way, Old Wang snorted, waiting to watch this young upstart eventually fail and close down. But watching the spectacle alone wasn’t enough—he also took a few photos, planning to go back and tell the neighbors, to see how many days it would take for Chi Yizhen to go bankrupt.

Not long after Old Wang left, the construction crew completed the work according to Chi Yizhen’s requirements. Their movements were extremely swift, and the quality was good too—definitely not a shoddy job. This super reliable construction crew cost Chi Yizhen 500 points. (That’s right, the game’s player points could actually be used this way.)

After the gate was renovated and a new amusement park sign was hung up, Chi Yizhen suddenly heard a game notification: [Player has constructed one ordinary gate, experience points +50.]

Chi Yizhen hung the banner above the gate, and heard another game notification: [Congratulations, player has reopened the amusement park, experience points +50.]

With a thought, Chi Yizhen realized that renovating the amusement park to make it better and sturdier was also a path to leveling up. Unfortunately, he had no money now. He was just thinking about getting a business card from the construction crew, planning to hire them for renovations when he had money in the future to avoid using points, but as soon as he looked up, he saw the construction crew’s figures gradually fade and disappear. He couldn’t help but rub his eyes, once again witnessing the game’s power.

It seemed the construction crew was just the game’s way of maintaining appearances. There was no other way to renovate the amusement park except using points. Come to think of it, that made sense—the amusement park had already been transformed by the game into a divine realm. How could it possibly be successfully renovated using ordinary building materials and workers?

After all this commotion, it was already 3 PM. Chi Yizhen discovered that despite having pulled an all-nighter until now, he wasn’t tired at all. However, time waits for no one, and the threat of magic beasts waits even less. Fortunately, the batch of plastic glasses he’d urgently purchased had already arrived. Chi Yizhen went to pick up the goods, then processed the glasses inside the amusement park.

Ordinary people didn’t possess extraordinary power and couldn’t see magic beasts, naturally couldn’t touch them either, but magic beasts could harm ordinary people. What he needed to do now was use a medium to channel a tiny bit of extraordinary power into ordinary people. “Holographic glasses” were a very reasonable method.

As for whether anyone would believe in “holographic glasses” that cost a few yuan per pair, that wasn’t within Chi Yizhen’s consideration.

He opened the game’s amusement park management mode. In the projects section, magic beasts were prominently listed, and the plastic glasses that had just been confirmed as park assets also appeared in the list. He carefully read the game’s auxiliary instructions and clicked through various options, successfully “enchanting” each pair of glasses. One pair of plastic glasses cost him 10 points of mana, and after activation, they were only effective for two hours. Moreover, mana took one hour to recover after being depleted. He spent three hours and only managed to create 60 pairs of glasses.

After completing this, he felt unsteady on his feet and his face was pale, looking as if he’d just had his essence drained by an immortal maiden.

In this condition, he couldn’t go out to distribute flyers. Besides, Chi Yizhen had done plenty of part-time jobs during university and was well-versed in distributing flyers. He knew that most passersby, after taking a flyer, would immediately look for a trash can, and the better ones would glance at it first before looking for a trash can. If a hundred flyers distributed could attract ten real customers, that would already be considered divine blessing.

Moreover, every single flyer now cost him money—a poor man could never tolerate any flyer ending up in a trash can!

So he had a flash of inspiration and put on Sal’s disguise.

As soon as this handsome man appeared on the street, he caused a small commotion.
