Chapter 1267: Chapter 1256: Eighteen Levels of Hell
Originally, Ning Fan planned to take the opportunity of visiting the Zhonghai Theme Park to try several projects, but now it seems his plan was dashed.
After all, if you have to wait in line for two hours, the park would be closing by the time you get through, naturally leaving no time to play anything.
However, Ning Fan wasn’t too disappointed in his heart. Ever since he saw those two giant statues of Oxhead and Horseface at the entrance, his curiosity about this mysterious Ghost Domain had piqued. He was eager to know what it was like inside this Ghost Domain.
Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing wanted to move to the back, but Zhou Wei stopped them.
“Mr. Ning, Junior Xu, where are you going?” Zhou Wei asked, looking at Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing with curiosity.
“To queue up,” Ning Fan looked at Zhou Wei and said, “Unless you have another way in besides queuing? Are you thinking of cutting in line?”
“To save time, the only option is to cut in line,” Zhou Wei said with a hint of pride, “but my way of cutting in line leaves everyone with nothing to say!”
With that, Zhou Wei took out three cards from his pocket and handed two of them to Ning Fan, “These are the fast passes for Zhonghai Theme Park. With these, you can have priority access to certain attractions.”
“I didn’t expect Zhonghai Theme Park to have Fast Passes,” Ning Fan said, somewhat surprised. He originally thought only large theme parks would have Fast Passes.
Nonetheless, Ning Fan reached out and took the two Fast Passes from Zhou Wei, handing one to Xu Xiaoqing.
“Alright, let’s head directly into the Ghost Domain; the competition has officially started!” Zhou Wei saw Xu Xiaoqing also accepted the Fast Pass, a slight, almost unnoticeable smile flashed across his face before he returned to normal.
Ning Fan, however, said, “Hold on.”
Zhou Wei heard Ning Fan’s words, and his heart skipped a beat. He worried Ning Fan might have noticed something amiss.
If something were exposed, Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing might not fall for it.
“Is there something else?” Zhou Wei asked, forcing calmness, looking at Ning Fan.
“I’ve never been to this Ghost Domain. Give me an introduction first,” Ning Fan said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing Ning Fan’s request, Zhou Wei secretly let out a sigh of relief. As long as Ning Fan hadn’t changed his mind, he felt reassured.
Zhou Wei nodded and said, “This Ghost Domain is different from other ghost towns in our country, ranking among the top three super Ghost Domains nationally.”
“Other ghost towns typically have themes like hospitals or schools, or they are random mazes, which can get tiresome after a while.”
“However, the Ghost Domain’s theme at Zhonghai Theme Park is not those overused themes but instead the Eighteen Levels of Hell from our traditional mythology!”
“That means there are eighteen stages within the Ghost Domain, each representing a level of Hell, which is quite a distinctive feature.”
After hearing Zhou Wei’s introduction, Ning Fan finally understood. No wonder this Ghost Domain had such a vast area. It turns out there are eighteen checkpoints, each representing a level of Hell, which naturally requires significant space.
“Alright, let’s go in and have a look,” Ning Fan’s interest was piqued a little.
If the Ghost Domain’s theme were still hospitals or schools, Ning Fan wouldn’t have the slightest interest. Those themes are all the same, with little difference, offering minimal fun.
But the Eighteen Levels of Hell are different. This theme is no less intriguing than those so-called horror hospitals or deadly campuses.
“Let’s hurry up and go!” Zhou Wei was afraid Ning Fan might change his mind, so he quickly lifted his leg and walked towards the entrance, and Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing followed closely.
Zhou Wei walked straight to the front of the line, handed the Fast Pass to the attendant at the door, and said, “Let me and my friends go in first, please!”
Seeing the Fast Pass that Zhou Wei was holding, the attendant nodded and said, “No problem, sir.”
After a while, the attendant opened the iron gate, allowing Zhou Wei, Ning Fan, and Xu Xiaoqing to enter.
Seeing Zhou Wei, Ning Fan, and Xu Xiaoqing enter the Ghost Domain without queuing, the people waiting in line were immediately displeased!
“Why are they allowed to go in first? They didn’t queue!” a middle-aged man angrily shouted at the attendant at the door.
“Exactly!” A young couple in front of the man also spoke unwillingly, “We’ve been queuing for over an hour here! These three just walked right in! We demand an explanation! Otherwise, we’ll file a complaint!”
“That’s right! If you don’t give us an explanation, we’ll complain!”
…
As those at the front of the line led the way, the others behind joined in, shouting loudly.
The attendant at the door, seeing the discontent among the queuing visitors, didn’t dare provoke a public outcry and quickly offered an explanation, “Please, everyone, calm down and listen to my explanation!”
“Hurry up and explain!” The visitors below shouted loudly.
The attendant quickly said, “It’s like this: these three guests purchased Fast Passes from our theme park. The Fast Pass allows them to enter attractions without waiting in line.”
“There’s such a thing?” The visitors behind were stunned when they heard the attendant’s explanation. They didn’t expect there would be a Fast Pass!
But after hearing the attendant’s explanation, they had no grounds to continue causing a scene. After all, the three entered legitimately, not by cutting in line, so even if they complained, they wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.
“How much is this Fast Pass per ticket?” A visitor asked because waiting in line for one or two hours for a ride is tiring for anyone.
“The Fast Pass is 500 yuan per ticket. If anyone is interested, they can inquire and purchase it at the ticket office!” the attendant hurriedly explained.
Upon hearing it’s 500 yuan a ticket, those queuing up fell silent immediately. To know, the entrance fee to Zhonghai Theme Park was just over a hundred yuan, and a Fast Pass cost three times the ticket price!
Most people wouldn’t want to, as it’s 500 yuan!
