I Have a Five-star Seaside Hotel

Opening the door,

A huge black cave appeared behind it, with only a slide on the ground, seemingly only large enough for one person to lie down and slide through.

Wow!

So mysterious, I thought it was something else!

Turns out it's just a giant slide!

"Is there no accompanying staff for this ride?" Xiaoxiao asked, unwilling to give up.

"Yes, sir. Finding the Heart of Perseverance is a journey of self-discovery. This journey is lonely, and no companion can help you except your own determination."

The amusement park employee maintained his character seriously, speaking as if it were real,

as if Xiaoxiao was truly a warrior on a journey to find the Heart of Perseverance.

Although it was a bit awkward,

it must be said that the scenario was fitting, with a strong sense of immersion.

"Do I just sit here?" Xiaoxiao asked.

"Yes, sir," the amusement park employee pointed to a soft little cushion on the ground inside the door and said enthusiastically, "You just need to sit on this."

"Alright!"

Xiaoxiao didn't waste any time and directly sat on the little cushion.

You have to admit, this little cushion doesn't look like much, but it's quite comfortable to sit on, sturdy and comfortable, with a center curve that perfectly fits the human body, perfectly cradling the flesh, no matter how you twist, it won't deform or slip off.

"This little cushion is great!"

Xiaoxiao patted the little cushion under him in surprise, but before he could react, suddenly the amusement park employee's face darkened, and he kicked Xiaoxiao's back hard:

"Go down you!!!"

Xiaoxiao took the kick solidly, and with the little cushion, he screamed all the way down the slide.

"Whew... I hope I don't get a complaint???"

The amusement park employee listened to the screams coming from the slide with a sense of dread, his back tingling.

No wonder the boss has ideas!!

In the final level of Flame Knight City, guests need to feel the darkness of the world and experience the most unexpected betrayal to enhance their experience and immersion.

Although some employees had suggested that this kicking method might be a bit rough, and whether it should be changed to a verbal consultation.

But Chen Jianhai directly vetoed it.

Just kidding!

Other rides are fine, tying people to chairs, regardless of whether they agree or not, just start the machine when it's time, forcing them to enjoy the ride.

This kind of slide ride is like bungee jumping,

if the customer doesn't make up their mind to let go and grit their teeth to play, if they hesitate and dawdle, they might just stand there for hours!

Then the people behind won't be able to play.

Moreover, for such unknown thrilling rides, the best experience is to sit down and play immediately, without hesitation or thought, the more you think, the worse it gets.

So Chen Jianhai simply went all out, telling the amusement park employees:

If it's a young man, don't even ask, just kick!

If it's a girl, wait a bit, persuade them a few times before pushing them down.

Don't be afraid of guests cursing, and don't be afraid of guests coming back to complain, if anything happens, Chen Jianhai will take full responsibility.

With the boss's guarantee, the amusement park employees didn't hold back.

Although they felt anxious after kicking, you have to admit, kicking people felt great.

At this moment, the screams of Xiaoxiao could still be clearly heard from the slide, probably scared out of his wits.

"He probably won't come back to find me..."

As if the screams were too piercing, the amusement park employee simply closed the slide door with a "snap" and locked the bolt with a "click".

Perfect!!!!

...

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!"

Xiaoxiao slid down the slide, his throat almost tearing.

To be honest, after experiencing so many thrilling rides, a slide like this was child's play for Xiaoxiao.

The reason he screamed so much was purely due to the sudden loss of balance from being kicked down, an instinctive reaction.

The inside of the slide was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

But gradually, the black cave seemed to be pierced by light, and various gorgeous and colorful scenes and lights appeared on the inner walls of the slide.

A blue river floated with huge plants, the dome like blue stardust in the night sky, quietly emitting light, and the ripples below like sapphires, undulating with waves.

Although the slide's descent was fast, the colorful lights seemed static, appearing one by one in Xiaoxiao's eyes. Since the inside of the slide was opaque, in the pure black environment, these lights were even more beautiful and dazzling, making it hard to look away.

Perhaps shocked by the scene, or perhaps the weightlessness from the acceleration pressed him so he couldn't scream,

In the end, Xiaoxiao didn't even know when he closed his mouth, just staring wide-eyed at the scenes inside the slide,

for a moment, he couldn't tell if he was experiencing the trial of the "Heart of Perseverance" or a magical journey.

"Wow!!! This special effect is like watching IMAX in a cinema."

"Yeah, it's really beautiful!!"

"I feel like the inside of this slide has some kind of deceleration glass, if it were this fast normally, the naked eye couldn't capture such clear images,"

"Even if you could see, you'd definitely throw up."

"That makes sense!"

As everyone watched in amazement with Xiaoxiao, suddenly a faint light appeared ahead, seemingly the exit.

Then, Xiaoxiao felt the slide steepen, and he "whooshed" out with the little cushion, landing directly in a huge circular fountain pool.

Although it was a circular pool, the inside of the slide was perfectly enclosed by tempered glass, perfectly separated from the water, at first glance it looked like sliding through water.

"Is this a buffer??" Xiaoxiao was stunned.

With the speed of the slide's descent, Xiaoxiao elegantly circled half the circular fountain pool, then his body slid down again, falling into the next slide entrance.

"Wow... there are actually two more sections of slide!!"

Xiaoxiao looked around in surprise,

Wait!

This, this seems to be the bottom of the lake!

Xiaoxiao widened his eyes looking around.

At this moment, the inside of the slide was entirely made of transparent tempered glass, and with the light from the slide's outer ring, the scenery inside the lake could be clearly seen.

Weeds grew, mud was everywhere, and under the sunlight on the lake's surface, you could vaguely see black and dark green mud algae, and some places were pitch black, completely bottomless, just a pool of ink, as if connected to a dark cave below, once pulled in, you would be completely dragged in,

The passage was narrow, the lake water enclosed,

In a short moment, Xiaoxiao's scalp was about to explode.

Although the deep sea is scary, sometimes deep lakes are even scarier than the deep sea.

Every unique lake has its unique killing move.

Some lakes look calm and beautiful on the surface, without a single ripple, but in reality, some depths can reach 30 meters, and the depth changes from the sides to the center are not gradual, but irregular,

Some places are cliffs, maybe just a few steps from the shore and it's already 10 meters deep, the lake water so dark you can't see anything, bypassing all senses and perceptions, like a stone thrown into the water, sinking directly, without any response.

As for lake monsters, water monsters, leeches, big fish, you name it.

If some unfortunate brother falls into the lake in winter, he might be silently frozen at the bottom of the lake for the entire winter, and when the ice melts the next spring, he might be fished up by some even more unfortunate brother with a fishing line.

Before, Xiaoxiao was curious about what the hotel boss would use to create the atmosphere of seizing the Heart of Perseverance in the darkness,

But who would have thought, in the end,

The hotel boss returned to simplicity, after a long series of gorgeous and dreamy scenes,

Directly using the most natural, most real deep lake as the slide, from nearly a hundred meters high directly down to dozens of meters deep in the lake, making people go from heaven to earth.

If at this moment some big creature suddenly appeared from the dark and enclosed lake, Xiaoxiao could instantly spin 360 degrees and ascend to heaven!

But Xiaoxiao's real-life scene experience seemed quite ordinary in the live stream.

"What is this?"

"Dark, did the live stream camera get blocked??"

"Yeah, just now it was a big fountain pool, how did it suddenly turn pitch black,"

"Am I lagging??"

"Moderator, is the connection bad, is the internet lagging?"

As the live stream audience called for the moderator, Xiaoxiao, in the enclosed lake bottom, finally saw the light and rushed out of the slide passage!

"This... where is this?"

Xiaoxiao looked around in shock, for a moment even feeling like he had traveled through time.

A sudden shock!!

A bloodied mermaid was tied up, hanging high in the air, her deep blue tail weakly drooping to the ground, with traces of blood still dripping down.

The entire street was a deep blue, with dreamy bubbles floating up from time to time. The small houses on both sides of the street had blue-and-white sea wave shapes, decorated everywhere with seashells, small fish, and frogs. The ground was covered in shiny little stones.

Under the sunlight, the entire street looked like fine sand scooped up from the seabed, shimmering like Cinderella's glass slipper.

Except for the dead mermaids that occasionally appeared on the beams, walls, and even the street—everything was breathtakingly beautiful.

Perhaps due to the hotel boss's twisted sense of humor,

Next to the hanging mermaid at the top, a crystal-clear seashell sign was held high, displaying five bold words:

"Romantic Mermaid City."

The scene before them completely stunned Xiaoxiao and the live stream audience.

"Shouldn't Romantic Mermaid City be at the entrance of the park?"

"Yeah, I remember the left side of the park entrance was Wizard City, the right side was Mermaid City, separated by a whole large park."

"Just now the streamer was at the hundred-meter slide in Flame Knight City, and the next second he slid out from the entrance of Mermaid City??"

"That slide is too long!!!"

"No... didn't you notice the mermaid?"

"In all my life, this is the first time I've seen a mermaid designed so tragically."

"Wow! How could they do this..."

"In my opinion, this place shouldn't be called Romantic Mermaid City, it should be called Persecuted Mermaid City."

The scene before them was both extremely romantic and utterly devastating.

Although the mermaid's fate was tragic, the park's design made her breathtakingly beautiful—especially the smooth curves of her tail, the overlapping scales in shades of blue and white, and the shimmering luster of the sea and moonlight, making it impossible to look away.

Combined with the surrounding streets and decorations, instead of instilling fear, the scene evoked a haunting beauty in destruction and ruin.

"Too bad, this Romantic Mermaid City isn't suitable for kids!"

"??? The others aren't either!!!"

"Lion Lake Castle Amusement Park is designed for adults, none of the rides are suitable for kids."

"And the story background is also very dark, this is definitely not a children's fairy tale, better not bring kids here."

"So, is the mermaid's tragedy also done by Grandpa Vikam?"

"Grandpa is awesome!!!"

As the live stream audience discussed fervently,

Xiaoxiao had already gotten up from the warm and cozy little cushion, curiously looking up at the mermaid hanging in the air.

"Is this a prop or a real person?!!"

Logically, it should be a prop, but the upper body of the mermaid was too realistic,

Not just the skin,

Even the structure, ribs, and the veins and muscle lines bulging when the arms were tied up were exactly like a real person.

Thinking of the dedication of the hotel staff, it's not impossible to have an employee dressed as a mermaid hanging here!

...But wouldn't that count as abuse?!

Xiaoxiao mustered his courage and poked the mermaid's tail with a finger.

The touch was cold, the flesh under the scales was soft, feeling very much like a live fish at the market.

Except for the tail below, the upper body including the hair was exactly like a real person, but unfortunately, the face and chest were covered by long hair, making it hard to see the gender.

As Xiaoxiao observed carefully, an amusement park employee suddenly appeared from the side.

"Brave wizard, congratulations on passing the dark challenge and obtaining the Heart of Perseverance!"

With that, a knight card was handed over with both hands.

Xiaoxiao looked down. The originally red knight card was now intertwined with red and blue. Against the ornate sword and shield background, instead of a heart, there was a mermaid bound in chains.

The appearance and shape were exactly the same as the mermaid in the air.

"How strange."

Xiaoxiao frowned.

"The trial I passed was the Heart of Perseverance, why is there a mermaid printed on it?"

"Could it be that the Paladin's Heart of Perseverance was sealed by Vikam in the Underwater City?"
