The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 94 There’s a big problem!

The next day.

It was just dawn when Qin Lang, who was still sleeping soundly in bed with his baby in his arms, was awakened by Cao Dongdong's hurried knock on the door.

After washing up, Qin Lang looked at Cao Dongdong and Zhao Qian, who were already dressed outside, with a bit of resentment in his eyes, "Is it necessary to be here so early?"

He, who wants to check in to the Traveler's Book, is not in such a hurry!
Can't people just take a good nap?
"You don't understand," Cao Dongdong said with an expression that said, "I've been there before." "Happy Party Amusement Park receives many visitors every day. If you go too late, the ticket queue alone can take hours."

"There are fewer people now, so you don't have to wait long to get in after buying a ticket, and you don't have to queue for any of the rides."

"I think what Cao Dongdong said makes sense." Zhao Qian, who was standing by, rarely agreed with Cao Dongdong's words. "Let's set off early."

"Okay." Qin Lang yawned and followed the two of them.

After a moment, looking at the deserted amusement park ticket gate, the three of them fell silent at the same time.

"Is this what you said... a long queue?" Qin Lang glanced at Cao Dongdong suspiciously. "Are you sure you remembered it correctly?"

The look Zhao Qian gave Cao Dongdong was also a bit indescribable.

It's rare for me to trust you, but you made me lose so badly!
"That's not right." Cao Dongdong looked surprised. "It's okay to be closed at night, but why is there no business during the day?"

"Let's go in and take a look first." Qin Lang shook his head slightly.

All signs indicate that the amusement park in front of him is no longer the one Cao Dongdong remembered three years ago.

Something might have happened here.

But no matter what, as long as it doesn't affect his clocking in, it's fine.

The person guarding the ticket gate was the same old man from yesterday. When the three people bought tickets to enter the amusement park, he glanced at them and then waved his hand to signal them to go in.

"Wow, this amusement park is quite big." Zhao Qian couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course not. I recommend you try the roller coaster here. It's so cool to try it." Cao Dongdong chuckled, "I haven't been here for three years. I'm going to have a blast this time."

"Forget about the roller coaster." Zhao Qian shrank her head. "I'll just ride the carousel or something else first. It'll be easier."

"Qin Lang, what about you?"

"Me?" Qin Lang, who had been observing the surroundings for a check-in spot, came back to his senses and smiled, "I'll take Danbao around first."

The three people had different goals, so they simply set a meeting time and acted separately.

After separating from the two, Qin Lang and Danbao searched for a while and soon found the angle of the picture in the Traveler's Book in the amusement park. However, he stood there for a long time, but the Traveler's Book did not respond at all.

This…

Qin Lang blinked, took out his hand-drawn drawing from his pocket, and looked up at the scene in the amusement park.

Right?
This should align correctly.

Why didn’t I complete the check-in and get the reward?
To be on the safe side, Qin Lang walked around and tried to fine-tune the angle, but this still didn't work.

Just when Qin Lang was at a loss, Cao Dongdong walked towards him with a depressed look on his face.

"Dongdong, aren't you going to ride the roller coaster?" Qin Lang couldn't help but become curious. "It's not time to meet up yet, so why are you here?"

"Don't mention it." Cao Dongdong shook his head. "The roller coaster was closed. I didn't even ride it."

"Why not open?" Qin Lang couldn't help but become curious.

"They said the amusement park's visitor numbers were low, so the roller coaster, Ferris wheel and other large rides were temporarily closed." Cao Dongdong looked speechless. "If these rides are not open, what's the point of the amusement park?"

"Indeed." Qin Lang nodded in agreement, and then his expression shifted slightly as he looked back at the hand-drawn picture. On the hand-drawn picture, a roller coaster was clearly moving along the track.

Could it be that this problem occurred because the roller coaster was not open and stopped at the starting point, and the picture was different from the landscape painting?
Qin Lang frowned and was thinking, but he saw Zhao Qian on the other side walking towards him with a bad expression.

"Is the carousel not open either?" Qin Lang couldn't help but ask.

"No?" Zhao Qian was stunned. "The carousel is open as usual. Could it be that the ride you want to play is not open?"

"The roller coaster I want to ride isn't open." Cao Dongdong spread his hands. "Not only that, the Ferris wheel won't be open either."

"What? The Ferris wheel isn't open either?" Zhao Qian was about to cry, "I was planning to take you guys on the Ferris wheel..."

"Let's put the Ferris wheel issue aside for now." Qin Lang looked at Zhao Qian, "Have you encountered any problems over there as well?"

"Don't mention it." Zhao Qian waved her hand. "There aren't many people in the amusement park. Bubu and I are the only ones on the carousel."

"Can you imagine what that feels like?"

Qin Lang and Cao Dongdong looked at each other.

When you think about it...it's really boring.

In an amusement park, the entertainment projects are either for excitement and thrills, or for the atmosphere of entertainment.

A project like a carousel is clearly the latter.

It's fun to play when it's full of people.

Speaking of carousels…

Qin Lang took another look at the hand-drawn painting in his hand, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

In the sixth landscape painting, there is also a corner of a carousel, and the vague figures of many tourists can be vaguely seen, which is very lively.

In this case, the failure to check in may also be related to the carousel.

"I originally thought the Ferris wheel was small, so the three of us wouldn't be bored together." Zhao Qian sighed, "Who knew it wouldn't be open at all."

Qin Lang's expression changed again when he heard this.

If you insist, there might be a reason for the Ferris wheel.

After all, the location of the cabins on the Ferris wheel doesn't match the painting.

All these reasons boil down to the same reason.

That is, the amusement park is not as lively as in the landscape painting. Instead, it appears extremely deserted. This difference makes it inconsistent with the picture.

"But I still can't figure it out." Cao Dongdong shook his head. "This amusement park was so fun three years ago. How did it become like this now?"

"If we want to know this, we may need to ask the staff here." Qin Lang looked around and soon saw a cleaner in work clothes.

"Excuse me, old lady." Qin Lang quickly stepped forward and called out to the other person, saying politely, "Do you know why so few people come here?"

"I don't understand these things." The old lady shook her head. "If you want to know, it's best to ask Director Ye directly. He knows best."

"The director of the amusement park..." Qin Lang seemed to be lost in thought. "Then may I ask, grandma, where is Director Ye?"

"That's the ticket gate." The old lady pointed towards the ticket gate.

Qin Lang and the other two suddenly looked excited.

The old man I saw last night and today is the director of this amusement park?
