The hot sun was high in the sky.
The breeze blew by, but the atmosphere was still and silent.
Wu Jin’s expression slowly, slowly grew dazed…
Wei Shi narrowed his eyes.
“!!!” Wu Jin quickly took two steps back! The wind was blowing, the clouds were flying, and Wu Jin was about to get hammered!
The corner of Wei Shi’s lips coldly hooked up, the frostiness in his pupils were clearly visible, and he raised his hand and gestured for Wu Jin to come over.
Wu Jin was almost scared into hiccuping. His body subconsciously took two faltering steps forward, and he was very clever and well behaved as he untied the rope from the big boss’s hands.
The big boss probably felt that Wu Jin’s actions were too slow. The steady and powerful hands shook, and he spontaneously broke free from the rope bindings.
“!!!” Wu Jin was once again scared into retreat. The wind was howling, the clouds were quivering, and Little Witch was about to get beaten up!
Wait a minute, this person was clearly able to break free on their own––
Wei Shi’s long legs swept out of the roller coaster, and he examined Wu Jin expressionlessly, “Hm?”
Wu Jin was struck by an idea, “Hahaha, yes, I also didn’t notice how he came all the way over there, haha, I was focused on walking ahead hahaha… hic.”
Wu Jin forced Wu Jin into a corner against the wall, his actions aggressive and powerful, “Memories will interflow together.”
Wu Jin was bewildered, “What…”
Wei Shi slowly rolled up his sleeves. The standard gray combat uniform seemed to carry the spirit of his military uniform, boots, and cloak when worn on his body. The man stated his threat, “When the side effects are over, the memories will connect together again. I will check then.”
Wu Jin was really shocked silly, he-he-he couldn’t hide it!
––Wait a minute. Wu Jin was suddenly going to go crazy!
Their memories could eventually connect together? Then, why were they taking turns torturing each other, no, wait, what were they taking turns torturing him for!
Beside the wall, Wei Shi didn’t give Wu Jin any more space to think. The rough hand with the gun calluses directly vented his anger on the side of Wu Jin’s waist. Wu Jin cried out immediately; a boy group’s lead dancer’s waist was their most sensitive area and couldn’t be touched at all! Wu Jin rose up to resist and was mercilessly pressed down again by Wei Shi. Then, the side of his neck suddenly turned red.
The man’s cold and sharp canines were biting down beside the mark he’d once left on his neck.

Wu Jin was stunned, his mouth dropping open.
… Although he didn’t know what the test paper did, this was clearly interfering with the test results! This didn’t respect scientific practice at all! What was the difference between this and secretly pouring coke into the reagent, forcing results like ‘the blue litmus test paper turned red, so the reagent is acidic’!
A pale purple-pink color slowly, slowly diffused through the white test paper, then quickly turned white again.
Wei Shi looked at the test paper, then looked at Wu Jin’s expressionless face, “I’ll remember.” And deal out punishment later. “Let’s go, I’ll carry you to victory.”
At the foot of the roller coaster, Wu Jin was filled with trepidation as they finally set out again.
The big boss walked ahead of him.
Just now, he’d carried Little Wei, and now Big Wei was carrying him for the next one. There was nothing wrong with that!
Five hours into the game, a significant gap had already opened up in the rankings.
The elimination rate wasn’t high, and there were still 78 contestants left in the arena. Wu Jin looked down at the shotgun. No bullet supplies had been found in the amusement park, and the strongest weapon they had encountered to date was the crossbow.
That was to say, the longer the game went on, the less likely it was that a player would be eliminated accidentally.
On their left wrist watches, the rankings for the 42 teams of players in the arena was changing constantly.
At this time, most of the teams had finished 1-2 of the entertainment facility tasks. Eight teams had passed 3 tasks, and Wu Jin and Wei Shi were in first place with 4 finished tasks.
“Let’s get to the haunted house as soon as possible.” Wu Jin trotted along as he analyzed, “The current rankings aren’t stable. Almost all of the rides can hold multiple teams. In places where players gather, the chances of passing an instance is higher. The longer we delay, the less of an advantage we’ll have.”
Wu Jin looked down at the wrist watch.
“Haunted house, required clearance time, 17:22.”
The disbursement of the fog had caused the ambient temperature of the entire amusement park to rise, but it had also finally cleared up their field of vision.
The haunted house was at the north end of the amusement park, near the back of the mountain. They needed to go back to the Ferris Wheel to get there.
They once again passed by the grassy lawn that Wei Shi had used to dry out Wu Jin, went through the paths beneath the Ferris Wheel, and the landscape around them changed again.
Wu Jin looked up.
Both people’s attention was drawn to the shadow of the jumping machine installed into the side of the mountain at the same time.
“… Why is it crooked?” Wu Jin blurted out without thinking.
There was no other reason for it. The installation of this ride was really too crooked. The jumping machine was like a lone chopstick inserted on the slope that faced straight towards the sun. The sun shone down from the top to the bottom, casting a straight, black shadow against the slope of the mountain.
In addition to the last item, the ‘haunted house’ at the bottom of the list, there was also a blank line in the itinerary that the program had given them.
“They made it so exaggerated. The blank line in the itinerary is the jumping machine, there’s no doubt about it.” Wu Jin breathed a sigh of relief. For the sixth elimination match, the program group had really given them a very clear hint.
The jumping machine was set deep into the mountains and was the furthest away from the rest of the facilities. Wu Jin thought about it briefly. In order to avoid having to make the long trek back, they finally decided to continue onto the haunted house the way they’d originally intended.
“So––”
Wu Jin turned back and was about to ask the big boss for his advice. Unexpectedly, he found that Wei Shi was staring at the sky, his eyes dazed.
Wu Jin was overjoyed. Cub! The simple and easy to coax cub was back!
So, it was impossible for the big boss whose core switched so frequently to carry him for a win. The 27 year old Wei Shi turned out to be a big liar! However, on second thought, Wu Jin was delighted once again.
He could take the cub to win and coax his little lover; he was very willing!
The 16 year old Wei Shi hadn’t yet fully come to his senses when the little shortie came up to stroke and touch and rub, quickly clearing up any blame as he complained, “He broke free on his own!”
Wei Shi’s expression turned cold, and he nodded simply. He looked towards the lake in the amusement park where the koi were being kept and spoke decisively, “Alright, next time before he comes out, I’ll jump in and feed him to the fish.”
“……” Wu Jin quickly dragged the cub away and earnestly explained things to him so that the big boss wouldn’t become the first player who’d thrown himself into the lake in the history of the Crosson Show.
Ten minutes later, the two of them finally entered the haunted house theme zone.
The air was moist and thin, and it was unclear if it was rain or dew that was dripping down from the tall and densely packed branches and leaves. The terrain was layered and headed upwards, and potato and corn plants could be seen everywhere. Wu Jin could even vaguely see traces of terraces…
Wu Jin crouched down.
The land here wasn’t very fertile, and planting a sparse amount of crops was already the limit of what the land could support. There were signs of scorching near the stones.
“Slash and burn…” Wu Jin murmured. Slash and burn farming was the embryonic form for almost all farming cultures, and it was similar to agricultural guerrilla warfare. The farmers would burn down the grass with fire, then cultivate land that had been softened after burning. When the land was no longer fertile, they would switch places and set fire to another stretch of land.
This kind of rough farming method had been in use for nearly 5000 years in a few select places.
“Slash and burn farming, highlands, rainforests, corn.” Wu Jin looked up into the distance and was inexplicably looking forward to it.
“The Mayan civilization.”
The luxuriant forest vegetation blocked the view in the distance. Wu Jin could only see that there were tall stone buildings behind the deeply hidden trail––
During the Mayan civilization’s long history that spanned nearly 5000 years, the gods played a joke on them. Both Central and South America were rich in minerals and deposits that made the world covetous towards them. It was all buried deep in the rainforests, but throughout the duration of the Mayan civilization, they hadn’t even found even a single vein.
The Maya didn’t have smelting, bronze, or iron. To use China as an analogy, they remained constantly in the Shang Dynasty. However, their civilization was the most brilliant one during the primitive production conditions of the Neolithic era. For a long time, their astronomy, calendars, and mathematics were far ahead of the rest of the world.
Inside the rainforest, Wu Jin rushed forward joyfully.
By the time the big boss caught up, he’d changed cores again.
Wu Jin expressed generously: Change at will! They were traveling to Maya, and it was the same regardless if he was taking his big lover, or his little one…
Wei Shi glanced at Wu Jin.
Wu Jin was instantly well behaved.
Wei Shi: “Like it?”
Wu Jin nodded repeatedly.
Wei Shi: “I’ll take you next time.”
Wu Jin immediately cheered up, and he chattered non-stop, “I remember that back then, the Maya were famous! In 2012, there was speculation about the Mayan end of the world. The Mayan crystal skulls in the Yiwu market were all sold out…”
Wei Shi: “Not just Maya.”
Wei Shi indicated that Wu Jin should look at the various scenes from the entertainment facilities around them.
Cotton thread was tied up into intricate knots and fluttered on a wooden pole. A serpent totem covered the whitewashed walls, and a smaller imitation of Machu Picchu’s altar stood with its entrance open.
Wei Shi: “Inca.”
Thanks for the chapter:)
I’m guessing that the jumping ride is actually a sundial. XD
I was just thinking that! Σ( ￣□￣||) But it’s also crooked! Can’t wait to see how this unfolds, hehehehe
