The Meaning of an Amusement Park / A Job That Actually Pays You for Doing Nothing!

Yaochuan Guang, suddenly realizing what had happened, immediately burst into laughter, amused by his own foolishness. "Eh? Hehehe... Hahaha."

She's not intellectually challenged; she just makes silly mistakes a lot, which falls into the category of adorably silly.

Perhaps...

"Cough cough."

Slightly embarrassed Yaochuan Guang coughed lightly, then looked at the map and said, "Hmm, the roller coaster... I probably can't ride it."

Yes, Xiao Cui is not tall enough.

"However, I should be able to ride most of the other safe rides... as long as there are no lines."

Yaochuan Guang looked around and realized that there were quite a few people today. He felt that time was a bit tight, so he rushed to the front.

"Anyway! Let's go! Hurry up Cong Yu!"

"..." Cong Yu: "Yes, yes, yes--"

Chapter 115 The Significance of Amusement Parks

For Cong Yu and her group, today's amusement park experience was quite fulfilling, lasting from daytime until dusk.

The amusement park also began to light up.

However, it's fair to say that magical girls and oddballs like Cong Yu would find it difficult to get a complete experience from the rides in amusement parks.

Pirate ships, zip lines, bumper cars, and similar attractions are suitable for four people.

It's not stimulating enough at all.

Cong Yu and the others are all too strong.

They have become so powerful that they have transcended humanity itself, making it difficult for them to derive enjoyment from similar recreational activities.

It's not just these exciting activities.

The same applies to haunted houses, whether it's Yaochuan Guang, Cong Yu, or even Xiao Cui who tries hard to act scared so as to get close to Cong Yu.

The fear of so-called "ghosts" has disappeared.

Hmm... did we forget someone?

Oh, right, Lantian Zhu.

For some reason, during the haunted house adventure, Lantian Zhu was the most frightened, clinging tightly to Yaochuan Guang's hand the whole way.

He almost locked Yaochuan Guang in place with a joint lock, his eyes brimming with terror.

However, since no one shouted or yelled, therefore...

In Lantian Zhu's mind, if you were to rank the level of fear, "ghosts" would be less than "cockroaches".

It's hard to imagine that someone like Lantian Zhu would be afraid of ghosts and cockroaches.

Somewhat unexpected.

However, for them, more thrilling and exciting entertainment activities like carousels and egg shooting games are more enjoyable.

Although I find Cong Yu a bit childish...

After mounting the cute-looking pony, Cong Yu found himself speechless as he spun around along with the horse to the music.

Hearing the laughter coming from Yaochuan Guang and Xiao Cui ahead, Cong Yu turned to look at Lantian Zhu behind her... She's probably getting bored too, right?

Then, turning around, he found that Lantian Zhu was actually smiling.

Perhaps she was so terrified by the haunted house that her emotions broke down the last shred of her facial expression... She really has a childlike heart.

Even though "Fear" dealt the most damage, "Joy" ended up stealing the kill.

However, it was getting late.

It's about time to go home...

Lunch and dinner were also eaten at the amusement park... All I can say is that the restaurants here perfectly matched Cong Yu's imagination of "themed restaurants".

It looks nice, but it doesn't taste good.

"Ah, it's over! We've pretty much finished all the activities!"

Yaochuan Guang uttered this remark, then looked into the distance. "The next thing to say is..."

Lantian Zhu nodded, looking in the same direction. "As expected, this is how it should end at an amusement park... I've seen similar scenes in the manga I read."

Cong Yu: "..."

Cong Yu looked towards the Ferris wheel in the distance and hesitated... Generally speaking, the scenes inside Ferris wheels are from serious comics, right?

Has Lantian Zhu finally started reading serious manga?

Or is it still an unconventional comic, just a pure love story with a plot?

Or perhaps...

Unbeknownst to Cong Yu, had the NTR comic already begun to escalate to the point where something was happening inside the Ferris wheel?

As he thought this, the four of them slowly walked in that direction... The amusement park looked quite beautiful at night.

However, Cong Yu didn't care much about that.

He was long past the age of appreciating such artificial scenery composed of "lights" and "colors".

"Great! It can hold up to eight people, so we can all sit down together!"

Yaochuan Guang said this so happily.

Lantian Zhu was somewhat surprised. She wondered why there was such a setting, thinking that usually it was a two-person affair.

Therefore, we really should read fewer comics.

As for Yaochuan Guang's words, Xiao Cui looked unhappy... Oh no, she wanted to sit with Cong Yu.

Feeling a little regretful, she yawned and, after entering the Ferris wheel, lazily leaned against Cong Yu.

This cunning little fox.

Thinking this, Cong Yu let her lean against him and reached out to tidy Xiao Cui's hair. "For a child, today's play has been pretty wild."

As she spoke, Cong Yu looked through the glass of the Ferris wheel at the colorful lights of the entire amusement park and at the children playing happily.

Then, as the Ferris wheel slowly rose, the entire city began to unfold before his eyes.

The Wind City lit with lights from every household.

Looking at the Wind City that belonged to him, Cong Yu tossed his hair, then carefully removed his headband.

Then Cong Yu's jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, sparkling under the lights.

Watching Cong Yu re-tie her hair without waking Xiao Cui, Lantian Zhu couldn't help but swallow hard, struggling to look away from her.

He also looked out the window...

Damn it, how could Cong Yu be so arrogant?

Yaochuan Guang's thoughts were much purer. She looked at Cong Yu and asked softly, "Cong Yu- chan, how was your day?"

Cong Yu, having finished tying her hair up, glanced at Yaochuan Guang, who had asked the question, and smiled, "Pretty good."

Although it feels a bit childish, that childishness is just right.

It's just the right amount to evoke memories and stir up a flood of emotions, without feeling as awkward as riding a rocking horse in the street.

Is that so?

Yaochuan Guang tilted his head. "That's good. I thought Cong Yu- chan, you had a boring day..."

Is it really that obvious?

Thinking this, Cong Yu then began her specialty: making up lies. "It wasn't that boring..."

Whether something is boring or not is very subjective.

"Just like taking a walk, walking is probably a boring thing, isn't it? But people will actively give it meaning."

"Taking a walk to aid digestion after a meal, walking while walking the dog, walking with someone you care about... each of these reasons gives the walk a different meaning."

Cong Yu said this very softly so as not to disturb Xiao Cui: "So no matter what, today's experience will become an important memory for me in the future."

Yaochuan Guang: "..."

Yaochuan Guang (didn't understand): o_0

"I didn't understand, Cong Yu- chan... My Chinese grades are just average."

As Yaochuan Guang said this, he raised his hand as if asking a question in class or about to launch Ultra Hand Chop.

Lantian Zhu declined to comment.

"Sigh, as expected of you... I think your grades in every subject are actually a bit barely passing."

After first criticizing Yaochuan Guang's grades, Cong Yu clarified her point. "The amusement park rides are indeed boring."

Yaochuan Guang: "I see... What a pity."

"..."

"But because I'm playing with you guys, I feel pretty good... at least I'm really happy."

Cong Yu added, but how much of it was to Yaochuan Guang, and how much was her own sincerity?

Cong Yu herself probably doesn't quite understand it either.

Chapter 116 It's actually a job where you get paid for nothing!

"..." Nagashima Riko, dressed in a very formal office lady outfit, looked up at the building sign of "Liangliang Pharmaceutical Corporation."

I'm wondering why this is the location of the Monster Group?

It looks like a legitimate company...

Wearing a well-fitting black suit, she looked poised and confident, paired with an office lady skirt and black stockings.

After straightening her white shirt and making sure there were no wrinkles, Nagashima Riko walked into the doors of Liangliang Pharmaceuticals.

Then she saw a woman in her twenties sitting behind the front desk, fiddling with her phone, dressed very similarly to Nagashima Riko.

However, it looks more casual and relaxed.

"Hello?"

Nagashima Riko asked softly, and the woman at the front desk immediately greeted her, "Good morning. Liangliang Pharmaceuticals is not accepting business discussions at the moment."

That's what they say, but in reality, Liangliang Pharmaceuticals has never accepted any business negotiations.

If they really wanted to negotiate, they would usually talk about robbing a bank, or sending someone's enemy to Africa to see crocodiles baring their teeth... things like that.

"No, I'm here for a job interview. I submitted my resume on [your company's] website... saying I'd be here for an interview today."

Nagashima Riko still didn't understand the situation. Although she trusted Cong Yu's explanation, she couldn't help but think that the receptionist was just a human being.

She began to doubt whether she had remembered something wrong.

In response to her question, the receptionist nodded. "Please say a specific word that starts with G... Do you know what that word is?"

G?

G... Cup?

"Country... country? No..."

Nagashima Riko said this instinctively, then immediately realized something and finally relaxed. "A weirdo."

The receptionist seemed pleased with what she said. She pointed to the elevator and said, "I'm Mirror Woman. If all goes well, we'll be colleagues from now on. Please take the elevator to the 22nd floor for your interview. Miss Big Shadow is waiting for you there."

The Big Shadow? Mirror Woman...

It sounds like the name of a weirdo.

Only Mr. Cong Yu's name seems somewhat out of place.

While silently complaining to herself, Nagashima Riko thanked them, nodded, and stepped into the elevator...

"..."

"Hmm? The newcomer looks familiar."
