Chapter 2402 - 2403: Entrance
They didn’t ask proactively, and naturally, Feng Yuan didn’t explain his idea of being a student at the Beast Taming Academy. He felt there wasn’t much difference no matter what type of school you attended.
It wasn’t until they were about to get off at the stop that the students, who were still unsatisfied, wanted to exchange contact information, did they surprisingly discover that Feng Yuan was also a student of the Beast Taming Academy.
"I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable about our stuff here."
One boy who had been chatting pleasantly with Feng Yuan said enviously that students of the Beast Taming Academy generally had higher practical abilities than theirs. On top of that, Feng Yuan also had a lot of knowledge they weren’t aware of, which made him feel quite impressed.
"Not really, after all, the Crystal Domain has a significant impact on Beastmasters, and I haven’t really studied it. The reason I can see those materials is probably because I contributed to the research on the Crystal Domain."
With a chuckle, Feng Yuan said, the boy shook his head and said,
"You can’t say that, being able to contribute to research is already amazing, alright, we won’t disturb you while you enjoy the amusement park."
Though there were hints of envy in their tone, they weren’t particularly jealous of Feng Yuan, as they weren’t that petty. They just felt a bit hit seeing Feng Yuan fitting in so well on both sides.
As for not inviting Feng Yuan to join them, it was simply because they knew Feng Yuan wasn’t here for research but purely to have fun. After all, people like them who wanted to research the new stuff others created were rare.
After saying goodbye to each other, Feng Yuan and his group went straight to the entrance of the flame mine theme park. As for those students? Their purpose was to study, so they needed to apply to the park authorities.
Of course, even if they were refused, they could still enter the theme park to observe on their own. However, if they could get permission from the park authorities, things would be less troublesome.
As for whether the park authorities would allow them to do so, they initially had doubts. But now they felt the likelihood was high. After all, according to Feng Yuan, it didn’t use anything overly sophisticated.
Perhaps the only thing worth keeping secret is the device used to activate the Crystal Domain, but that thing is still too advanced for them at this point, at least that group of people didn’t feel like they had the capability to study it now.
"Relying on the Crystal Domain to provide special sensory effects, but is this really okay?"
Qi Chen also learned the truth from listening to Feng Yuan and them discuss on the bus. After all, the park authorities wouldn’t proactively disclose what technology they used. Although there are patents, saying it out loud wouldn’t be of any use and wouldn’t bring more tourists, so naturally, the marketing department wouldn’t go out of its way to do so.
"It shouldn’t be a big issue since the Crystal Domain has never had much ability to directly interfere with reality from the start. Even if that device can artificially activate a pseudo-awakened Crystal Domain, it shouldn’t have a significant direct impact because this thing isn’t something you can use on tourists just because you want to."
Feng Yuan said after thinking about it, feeling that its safety was ensured. After all, the safety requirements for such public entertainment places are quite high, and they definitely wouldn’t allow something untested to be put into use.
Not to mention, the flame mine theme park is directed towards the general public. If anything were wrong, the first ones to get into trouble would definitely not be them but the ordinary people with weaker abilities.
"You’re right, I wonder what it feels like, if it’s the same as when we were kids."
Scratching his head, Qi Chen chuckled, realizing he’d forgotten how strict safety regulations are on these things. There’s no choice, without strict regulations, who knows what might happen.
You know, with the abilities that people like Qi Chen have as Beastmasters, among ordinary people, they’re already considered quite good. If even they could get injured, then those facilities would be utterly unsuitable for ordinary people, and since the main customers of theme parks are ordinary people, they wouldn’t do something so self-defeating even without strict safety protocols.
Amidst their casual conversation, they completed the ticketing and entrance process, stuffing the exquisite tickets into their pockets, and Feng Yuan couldn’t help but marvel at how even the tickets for the flame mine theme park are quite a decent souvenir.
Yes, although it’s just a ticket, the ticket for the flame mine theme park is not ordinary. Made with hard plastic as the base, it has beautiful images of the flame mine theme park printed on it.
On the hard plastic, there’s an additional layer of amusement facility images with embossed and curved parts, only connecting to the underlying image at the bottom horizontal line.
Feng Yuan tried, and found that these images could be bent and stood upright. When the ticket is laid flat, all the facility images can stand up like a sign, coupled with the embossing on the images themselves, even the ticket could serve as a neat little desk ornament.
A large amount of flames is used as decoration in the flame mine theme park, formed by special devices. Some are purely visual effects, while others have features completely contrary to conventional flames.
Like a gap that seems to have been dug into the rock wall, flames are continuously spewing out, with bright yellow flames even flowing onto Mud Street.
Yet these flames didn’t make people feel hot, but rather a chill that emanated from them.
"These flames are pretty special, they’re actually heat-absorbing flames."
Feng Yuan noticed the nature of the flames at a glance. Mud Street is the main street right after the main gate of the flame mine theme park. The environment here resembles a canyon, with decorations and some performance facilities on both sides, along with many shops decorated to look like mine entrances.
Though it’s called the flame mine theme park, the main scenes are more akin to a canyon. After all, many amusement facilities cannot be placed in underground mine shafts.
Like the Ferris wheel, in the theme park, it’s decorated as a giant wheel of flames. The brightly burning fierce flame wheel stands particularly striking, and even if you can’t see it because of the canyon setting, you can still feel the heat coming from its direction.
As for where Feng Yuan and his group are on Mud Street, it’s filled with various flames. Of course, these flames don’t give a scorching feel but at most make people feel warm.
Although the ground appears as a dirt road, complete with tracks that seem to have been left by vehicles, these are just carefully arranged decorations. Even those little pebbles, when stepped on, reveal themselves to be mere visual effects.
The entirety of Mud Street, though its appearance mimics the dirt road leading to a mine entrance, is actually a specially hardened surface that’s undergone specialized treatment.
It’s exactly these visual effects that make the visitors feel as if they’ve genuinely arrived at a peculiar mine entrance while standing on Mud Street.
"The roller coaster is over there. Hmm, the attractions near the entrance are either spinning or like the pirate ship, and I’m not really into that."
Feng Yuan isn’t very fond of rides designed to spin people dizzy, and as for the haunted house, even though it’s labeled as a haunted mine, Feng Yuan was sure it’s still predominantly Ghost Series and Death Series Spirit Beasts inside, not to rule out the presence of some rare Ghost Series Spirit Beasts with a Fire Attribute.
But...
Stealing a glance at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan wasn’t sure if he should go to the haunted house. In places like that, mechanical devices can be talked about, but if Spirit Beasts are used to scare people...
It’s really hard to say who would scare whom, and Feng Yuan didn’t want Xiao Ji to frighten the amusement park staff and cause trouble.
Looking puzzled at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji sensed a hint of malice in his gaze earlier.
"The pirate ship doesn’t seem ordinary, and ’Blazing Sea Waves’ appears to be specially customized equipment, as for the other things..."
Looking at the amusement park map, Qi Chen shared his thoughts. He wasn’t much interested in swinging rides like The Pendulum. If they didn’t affect him, it wouldn’t be an enjoyable experience, and if they did...
They’d make people dizzy easily. At least before becoming a Beastmaster, Qi Chen had experienced them. He really didn’t like that spinning sensation.
"We can take a look, and if it seems fitting, we can go for it. These things seem to be deeply customized and not entirely dismissible."
Dou Yanlan spoke while looking at Feng Yuan, and scratching his head, Feng Yuan said,
"Alright then, since we have plenty of time, we’ll just take it slow and see."
