Chapter 434: If I Built My Own Amusement Park

"In this bright, golden autumn season," 

"I have seen the most beautiful sea—the sea of people at the Magic Century Theme Park." 

"I have seen the most beautiful mountain—the mountain of people at the Magic Century Theme Park!" 

The bustling amusement park was filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter, floating in the air. Every drop of sweat from those waiting in line was the most sincere affirmation of the park's attractions! 

One line after another, 

one queue after another, 

Whether it was exhaustion or frustration, 

Chen Jianhai even had a moment of hallucination: 

The Magic Century Theme Park before him was actually a golden-robed God of Wealth, sitting cross-legged on a cloud, with a bronze basin in front of him. 

And they were the devout believers, 

crossing mountains and rivers, enduring all kinds of hardships, 

just to toss their hard-earned money into the bronze basin in front of the God of Wealth. 

And this offering was made with utmost humility. 

The God of Wealth: "Want to give me money?? Then get in line first!!" 

"Only when it's your turn can you give!" 

"You say you have money? Heh... No matter how much money you have, you still have to queue in my domain!" 

"Get to the back of the line!!" 

... 

Just as Chen Jianhai was lost in these chaotic thoughts, 

one complaint after another reached his ears. 

"Isn't this the trial phase? Why are there still so many people?" 

"Exactly... If it's this crowded now, it'll be even worse when it officially opens!" 

"I started lining up for the Wizard World Pavilion at noon, waited almost 2 hours, and then the broadcast said the Wizard World ride broke down and would take 40 minutes to fix. I wasted my time! I'm such an idiot!!" 

... 

Yeah, if you weren't a complete idiot, who would come to this cursed place to suffer? 

Chen Jianhai yawned, shamelessly slinging his arm over Xie Zhu Long Xiong's shoulder and transferring some of his weight onto him. 

Among the group, 

Lin Suyang was already completely exhausted. 

While others were standing in line, this guy had already squatted down. 

Xiao Lang and Xu Bo, having worked in the food and beverage industry for years, were used to standing for long periods. Though they were tired, they could still hold on. 

But Chen Jianhai, who was used to a life of comfort, 

spent most of his time lounging on the sofa or lying on the bed. 

If he could lie down, he wouldn't sit; if he could sit, he wouldn't stand. 

And given his larger build, standing for too long really made his back ache. 

Among the group, only Xie Zhu Long Xiong, who worked out regularly, was still holding up. Though he was sweating slightly, he looked completely fine. 

So Chen Jianhai shamelessly decided to lean on him. 

Xie Zhu Long Xiong silently turned his head to glance at Chen Jianhai, 

then silently turned it back. 

His face clearly said: If you weren't the one paying my salary, I'd beat you up right now. 

But no matter what!! 

Even though Chen Jianhai had reached the point where he needed to rely on another man to stand, 

one strong conviction kept his spirits up: 

"No matter what, as long as I have a breath left today, I will experience every single attraction in this park!" 

Perhaps this indomitable, unyielding spirit moved the system, 

because every time they queued, 

the system's familiar, cold voice would ring in Chen Jianhai's mind: 

"Ding!" 

"The system has detected that the host's 'Striver Who Refuses to Be Ordinary' title has taken effect, increasing the success rate by 10%." 

"The system is now calculating the success outcome." 

"Ding!" 

"Due to objective and uncontrollable factors, the host's success rate verification has failed." 

"This value will be automatically accumulated and settled at an appropriate time." 

... 

"Heh." 

After hearing yet another "This value will be automatically accumulated and settled at an appropriate time," 

Chen Jianhai's expression was numb and indifferent. 

But then, a voice from behind caught his attention: 

"If I had the money, I'd build my own amusement park and play as long as I wanted!!" 

Yeah! 

Chen Jianhai nodded heavily. 

In this day and age, relying on others is worse than relying on yourself. If you have it, it's better to have it yourself! 

If I had the money, I'd definitely build my own amusement park and play as long as I wanted! 

At this thought, 

Chen Jianhai's pupils suddenly contracted, and he sharply turned his head toward the source of the voice. 

But when he looked back, 

the dense crowd, packed shoulder to shoulder, made it impossible to tell who had spoken. 

"Right!" 

"Why don't I build my own amusement park and play as long as I want?" 

The fog in his mind seemed to clear in an instant, illuminated by a flash of wisdom. 

At this moment, Chen Jianhai felt as if he had come back to life. His numb, indifferent expression was gradually replaced by a determined, upward-looking energy. 

"Although the Magic Century Theme Park is fun, it relies more on fantastical scenes and rich, detailed光影 effects to create its atmosphere." 

"The immersion is far greater than the actual游乐 experience." 

"It's more like a themed movie immersion world than a magic park." 

Even now, if Chen Jianhai had to pick the most memorable, most enjoyable, and longest-queued attractions, 

it would only be a few like the 'Wizard Zombie Mummy Chaos Battle,' which had incredibly immersive光影 effects. 

As for the other rides like roller coasters and giant slides, all he could remember were the different queue areas and the endless sea of people. 

The fun factor was almost nonexistent. 

Basically, you'd queue for 2 hours to play for 5 minutes, if that. 

In some ways, it wasn't even as fun as the Dream Sea Amusement Park in Nanjiang City. 

At least there, if you were brave enough, you could ride the roller coaster at least three times in an hour. 

"If I could build my own amusement park..." 

Chen Jianhai's hands trembled slightly, and he was startled by the idea that had surged up in this impulsive moment. 

Since the land he bought on Butter Road was so vast, 

Chen Jianhai had specifically spent a large amount of积分 to exchange for a beautiful forest near the Magic Century Theme Park. 

Moreover, 

Unlike other system products, trees were living plants and required far more积分 than other items. 

They could also be exchanged for other道具 at相应的积分 prices as the hotel's plans evolved. 

So, there was definitely enough space at the Zaomen Hotel to build an amusement park. 

"But... my hotel is right next to the Magic Century Theme Park." 

"They have an amusement park, and now I want to build one too. Is that okay?" 

Chen Jianhai scratched his nose, his eyes filled with contemplation. 

Not to mention that they were a legitimate amusement park with professional facilities and attractions, highly recognized by customers and strong in market confidence. 

Building this Zaomen Hotel was already riding on their coattails, trying to make a little profit under their shade. 

But now, not only was I trying to enjoy their shade, but I was also planning to stab them in the back by building my own amusement park. 

Wasn't that taking advantage... and a bit unethical? 

For a moment, Chen Jianhai was caught in a dilemma. 

... 

Meanwhile, 

at the highest point of the Wizard Castle, 

Two men stood by the window, looking down at the massive crowds queuing in the park, their faces filled with satisfaction and joy. 

One of them had blond hair and blue eyes, while the other had black hair and black eyes. 

The tall, blond foreigner looked to be in his 40s, with a golden stubble on his chin and incredibly bright, white teeth. 

He was none other than the owner of the Magic Century Theme Park, the "Golden Pants" God of Wealth himself—Jimmy King. 

Beside him was the black-haired, black-eyed Easterner, the owner of the Colorful Holiday Resort Hotel—Lin Tao. 

From their high vantage point, 

the dense crowds stretched layer upon layer, 

all the way to the distant subway station. 

And even now, more people were emerging from the subway entrance, lining up to enter the park. 

"Today's main test is the park's daily capacity limit. From this morning until now, the park has served a cumulative total of 30,000 visitors," 

"If this trend continues, we should be able to accommodate 50,000 visitors by the time the park closes tonight." 

Lin Tao spoke excitedly. 

Given the size of the Magic Century Theme Park, accommodating 50,000 visitors in a single day was already quite an achievement. 

If today's test was successful, 

Then when the park officially opened, it could handle peak holiday crowds and nip many potential issues in the bud. 

Jimmy King nodded in satisfaction and asked, "How's your hotel doing?" 

Lin Tao replied, "There are still some basic facilities that need improvement and refinement. Give me a month, and I'll get everything up to standard." 

"Good!" 

Jimmy King wasn't too concerned about the hotel. His gaze remained fixed on the crowds of visitors waiting and queuing in the park, 

his eyes filled with guilt. 

Even though this was a trial run, Jimmy King genuinely wanted visitors to have a perfect and unforgettable experience. 

But unfortunately, 

Today's test direction was bound to disappoint a large number of visitors. 

After a moment of contemplation, 

"We should find a way to compensate them..." 

Thinking this, 

Jimmy King took out his phone and made a call. 

... 

Meanwhile, 

After navigating through the sea of people, 

Chen Jianhai, who had finally realized that平凡 was the only answer, 

After completing the "Goblin Mine Cart Grand Tour" in a whopping 1 minute and 50 seconds, 

Collapsed onto a bench in the Goblin Park, unable to take another step. 

"Boss, have something to drink." 

Xie Zhu Long Xiong walked over with a plastic cup and handed it to Chen Jianhai. 

"What's this?" Chen Jianhai asked weakly. 

Xie Zhu Long Xiong: "It's called 'Lemon Juice Squeezed by Goblins Themselves.' It's 50 yuan a cup. I saw that the line at the themed roadside stall was short, so I bought it." 

"How much?! 50 yuan?!" 

Chen Jianhai's voice shot up, and he sat up straight, staring in disbelief at the small plastic cup in his hand. 

The cup was about the size of two disposable plastic cups, and the liquid inside was barely half full. 

What kind of nonsense costs this much?! 

Xie Zhu Long Xiong said seriously, "This is lemon juice squeezed by goblins themselves. 50 yuan is reasonable. Drink up." 

Then, 

he sighed and added, "We're already here."
