Lin Mo paid without hesitation, and the attendant immediately handed over two distinctly different wristbands.
One black, one pink.
The craftsmanship of the wristbands was far from exquisite. They were just a layer of cheap plastic printed with a crooked amusement park logo and today's date. The clasps also seemed rather flimsy, clearly meant for single use.
Probably to prevent them from being reused.
Lin Mo picked up the pink one, gently took Chu Miaomiao's hand, and carefully fastened the wristband around the girl's fair, slender wrist.
He was just about to put the black one on himself when the wristband in his hand was snatched away by a small hand.
"Brother, let me help you."
The young girl's voice was soft and carried a hint of sweetness, like freshly made cotton candy, making one's heart melt.
Lin Mo let her somewhat clumsily fasten the wristband for him. The accidental touch of her fingertips brought a faint, ticklish sensation.
With the wristbands on, the two held hands again, palms pressed together, and walked toward the deepest part of the park, heading for the most eye-catching behemoth.
When Changlong Amusement Park first opened, it made a name for itself relying on this ten-ring roller coaster, which claimed to be the number one in the country.
At this moment, a long, seemingly endless line had already formed at the roller coaster's entrance. The noisy chatter of the crowd and the screams whistling past overhead mixed together, forming a symphony unique to amusement parks.
The people in line were all standing on their tiptoes, their faces full of anxiety. Looking at this situation, it would take at least half an hour to reach the front.
"Thank goodness we bought the VIP passes," Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh.
"Yeah, but how do we use this VIP pass?" Chu Miaomiao asked curiously.
Lin Mo pulled the girl along and flashed the VIP wristbands on their wrists to the staff member at the entrance.
The staff member glanced at them, and their professional smile gained a touch of sincerity. They stepped aside, made an inviting gesture, and led them toward the exclusive lane on the side.
"VIP lane, right this way, please."
That empty staircase formed a sharp contrast with the completely blocked, long queue on the other side.
Countless gazes shot over in unison, filled with envy, jealousy, and some undisguised murmuring.
Being stared at by so many people, Chu Miaomiao shrank her neck a bit uncomfortably and whispered in Lin Mo's ear, "Is this a bit bad?"
She felt a sense of guilt, as if she were cutting in line.
Lin Mo squeezed her hand, the warm touch bringing her a lot of reassurance.
"What are you thinking about? We spent money to buy time and convenience. This is a service provided by the amusement park, and we paid for it. Strictly speaking, we don't owe them anything, and the amusement park, in order to make money, doesn't owe them anything either."
Fast passes are something almost all amusement parks have.
Even the world's number one, Dinini Park, is like this.
After all, there are plenty of people willing to pay this price to enjoy fast access.
His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the staff member leading the way.
The staff member's mouth twitched imperceptibly, but they immediately returned to normal, continuing to lead the way looking straight ahead, as if they hadn't heard anything.
But in their heart, they muttered: He's not wrong. If you want to have a great time, VIP is the best choice.
However, many ordinary people are willing to just buy a regular ticket and then wait in line.
After all, many people only play each attraction once, so waiting in line isn't too big of a problem.
Smart people will even wait until the afternoon to go to the rides that are usually crowded, because the public mentality is to line up for the games they want to play the most right from the start.
Therefore, in the afternoon, the number of people waiting in line will become fewer and fewer.
Just as they stepped onto the platform, a roller coaster fully loaded with screams roared out, rushing toward the clouds along the twisted track.
They had to wait for the next round.
The steel behemoth-like silhouette of the roller coaster was close at hand. The roar of mechanical operation, as well as the hoarse shrieks of the previous batch of tourists, made Chu Miaomiao, who was riding a roller coaster for the first time, unconsciously grip Lin Mo's hand tighter, her palms seeping with fine sweat.
Lin Mo noticed her nervousness and turned his head to point at a nearly vertical diving track in the distance.
"Do you remember the Six Flags roller coaster?"
This familiar term was like a switch, instantly lighting up the girl's eyes, sweeping away all her previous tension.
"I remember! Of course I remember! Jörmungandr! Mingfei and the principal were still chatting on it, and Senior Brother Chu directly activated third-degree Blood Rage!"
She even gestured excitedly, completely forgetting where she was.
Lin Mo grinned, a wicked gardenia-like smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"What if we also encounter Jörmungandr's attack and the track cracks?"
Hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up again, and she turned to look at Lin Mo.
Chu Miaomiao was not only unafraid, but her eyes shone even brighter. She whipped her head around and looked at Lin Mo with eyes full of anticipation.
"Then Brother will definitely save me, right? Brother will activate Blood Rage just like Senior Brother Chu and bring me down safely, right!"
Very good, she wasn't nervous at all.
After all, he had actually exposed his abilities in front of Chu Miaomiao first.
Lin Mo raised his hand and rubbed her head, his eyes full of doting affection. "I definitely will. When the time comes, I will open my Golden Eyes and guarantee that everyone on the entire coaster lands safely."
He didn't deliberately lower his voice when saying this.
In the regular lane next to them, a couple who had finally made it to the front heard it loud and clear.
The boy stared at his girlfriend, dumbfounded. "Wh... what did he say? Golden Eyes? Blood Rage? Is this some new way of flirting? Taking notes, taking notes."
"I don't understand either."
A knowledgeable friend next to them explained, "That's the plot of a novel. It shows that the two of them share the same hobbies. I also want a girlfriend who reads Dragon King with me."
On the other side, several bachelors who had come together burst into a chorus of wails.
"Stop talking. He's handsome, rich enough to use the VIP lane, and can say such cool romantic lines. This world is too unfair to us!"
Amidst this sour, lemon-scented chatter, the departed roller coaster finally slowly drove back to the platform.
The safety restraints opened, and the previous batch of tourists walked down with weak legs, their faces pale, as if they had just taken a trip through the underworld.
Over here, the single staff member smiled at Lin Mo and Chu Miaomiao.
"You two, the first row has the best view. Please get on."
Lin Mo pulled a Husky-pointing-at-people expression.
I am a VIP! To think there are unruly peasants trying to harm His Majesty?!
However, in the next second, the young girl immediately took Lin Mo's hand and stepped forward.
"I want to sit in the first row!"
Since the girl had said so, Lin Mo could only sigh. "Alright then, the first row it is. The brave get to enjoy the world first."
Lin Mo secured the girl's safety belt and then grabbed her hand.
"Hold on tight. If you fly out, don't blame me."
"Holding on tight! I won't let go of Brother for the rest of my life!"
The boy sitting on the other side of Lin Mo felt absolutely screwed! I obviously sat in the first row to have a thrill!
What thrill is this?!
Lin Mo: It really is a thrill!
