Chapter 170: Someone Won't Be Able to Sleep Tonight
"Boss, this reaction isn't right."
"I'm not blind, I don't need you to tell me!"
W's face darkened, and then the monitoring room employee got a smack on the head.
"So, should we continue?"
The employee said aggrievedly. Their preparations weren't limited to just this; to increase the excitement, some staff had already infiltrated.
"Continue? Is there still a need? Quick, quick, quick, get moving, time to head to the next project."
If we really go, we'll be waiting for Boss Kevin to kick our asses, won't we? If the boss deliberately doesn't act to cooperate, that would be way too fake and would definitely be noticed.
Originally, I wanted to use lighting and the theme to create a bit of a horror atmosphere, then have the girl scream and hug the boy or something...
That's exactly what the book said! Where exactly did it go wrong?
W was somewhat annoyed; she rarely ever settled down to study a book seriously.
......
The cinema employees who received the order looked at each other.
They were already in position, and now they're being told to crawl back?
Although slightly unwilling, for the sake of their wages, they had no choice but to take their chrysanthemum monster headgear and crawl out of the movie theater.
Sensing several presences moving away, Kevin
let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief.
He wasn't very good at acting.
"I'm very sorry, sir, miss. There was a problem with this screen; it's our theater's responsibility."
"We will refund you three times the original ticket price. Our sincerest apologies."
A man in a suit, who looked like a manager, pushed open the theater door and walked in.
"Ah, so it wasn't an impromptu program arranged by the theater?"
Pozëmka was still expecting a few chrysanthemum monsters wearing headgear to jump out from somewhere.
Then she and Kevin could join forces with their swords and take them down. Wouldn't that make the experience perfect?
Wouldn't that be much more interesting than this boring movie?
"Impromptu program? You've misunderstood, miss. But we will consider your valuable suggestion for the future."
The manager was taken aback but still forced a smile.
.......
Outside the theater, the lights were coming on as night fell, and neon lights lit up the commercial district.
"I thought you wouldn't take that money."
"Huh? Those who don't manage a household don't know the cost of oil, salt, firewood, and rice. It's what we deserve. It's good to take it; we'll have money for groceries tomorrow."
Fiammetta put a few thin Lungmen Dollars into her pocket.
Despite being the second richest person in the world, she acted like a thrifty and virtuous wife.
"The movie's over. What now?"
She wanted to see what medicine Kevin was really selling in his gourd.
The fox's tail would eventually show itself. She was so convinced of this that—
"Go home."
Pozëmka's little face gradually went blank, but seeing Kevin's receding back didn't seem fake.
No way, really going back?!
"4...3...2...1......"
Kevin silently counted down according to the time W had indicated.
"Kevin, wait!"
Fiammetta's call came from behind, timed perfectly.
This wasn't something W could have managed.
Kevin instantly made a judgment. Not to deliberately belittle her, but based on his understanding of W, her limited brain capacity simply couldn't support her pulling all this off.
So there must be someone else behind the scenes?
The notion that love lowers intelligence clearly didn't apply to Kevin.
"Since we're already out, could you accompany me for a bit longer?"
Pozëmka's eyes scanned around and lit up when she spotted a slowly rotating Ferris wheel in the distance.
She suddenly remembered that Elysia had mentioned to her these past few days that there was a newly opened amusement park in Gou Wu. Wasn't now the perfect time to go?
Under the covert manipulation of the person behind the scenes, initiative and passivity quietly switched places. Compared to W's rather crude plan, this move was clearly much more skillful.
"How about we go there?"
——————
Rumor has it that this amusement park was previously bought by a big boss. After some renovation and adjustments, it reopened.
Some of its unique attractions, like pirate ships and such, have reformed many traditional amusement park facilities, attracting a large number of guests.
The amusement park was now bustling with visitors—couples and families walking together.
"Golden Amusement Park."
Are you hinting at me? Elysia.
The amusement park's name seemed like a hint left for Kevin by a certain lady.
No, or rather, she was just notifying Kevin in a way both of them could understand.
So when she asked me for "start-up capital" back then, she had already thought of this part today?
This approach of not bothering to hide anything is indeed very much Elysia's style. Since it's her, all I need to do now is cooperate properly, right?
"Three hundred Lungmen Dollars? So cheap?"
"Miss, it's like this: our facilities inside are charged separately..."
Just as Kevin was staring at the name in a daze—
"Kevin, come on, let's go queue up!"
Pozëmka waved the tickets in her hand.
......
"Take another look. No problems?"
"No problem, boss. Even if your mother came, she definitely wouldn't recognize you."
"I don't have a mother."
That simple sentence brought the small group to a standstill.
"Ah... ahaha, then our fath—"
The underling choked up, just about to say something to salvage the situation.
"I don't have a father either. I'm an orphan."
Dead silence. Utter dead silence!
Everyone except W glared fiercely at the guy who spoke out of turn. Even he himself couldn't help wanting to slap himself.
What a piece of shit!
Who would have thought that W, who seemed quite cheerful, would have such a tragic background?
"What are you all staring at? Can't you see the horns on my head? Isn't this normal? Stop being so wishy-washy. All of you, get moving."
W laughed and scolded. In Kazdel, war orphans were not uncommon; just being alive was good enough.
Who had the spare energy to care about who their parents were?
Now that she's been taken out of that sea of suffering, having her boss is enough for her.
"Yes!"
The underlings answered in unison.
——————
"Take a look! Have a look! Don't miss out! Specialty bouquets imported from Kunmi City! Buy flowers worth one thousand Lungmen Dollars or more and get a free fortune-telling session!"
Kevin held two cups of milk tea while Pozëmka looked here and there,
looking around.
She finally stopped in front of the flower stall. Although the stall was very simple, almost like it was set up temporarily,
the flowers on display were extremely beautiful in both color and form, appearing to be of quite extraordinary quality.
It wasn't just Fiammetta who fancied them; other interested customers also shook their heads and left after inquiring about the price.
The price was simply too high; better to buy something more practical.
"Boss, how much are these flowers?"
The flower stall owner was a woman dressed very strangely.
A dark cloth hat covered her hair; she wore traditional Yan cloth clothes; she had sunglasses on her nose bridge; and she sat on a small stool underneath her, looking profound and mysterious.
"This much."
"Five hundred per bouquet?"
The boss shook her head.
"Five thousand? Then please pick two bouquets for me."
This price was on the high side, but given the appearance of these flowers, it wasn't too much of a loss.
Pozëmka was just about to take money out of her small purse when she noticed the other party shaking her head again.
"No, it's fifty thousand!"
golden amusement park? golden courtyard!
