Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 84 What goes around comes around, let's move on to the next project!
[Achievement Name: Tasting Monkfish]

[Requirement for acquisition: Consume cooked monkfish meat.]

[Achievement Points +5]

Wang Zixu almost burst out laughing after reading the newly unlocked encyclopedia information.

Good guy!
Wang Mazi was taken for a fool and was completely swindled.

He asked:
Have you ever eaten monkfish?

Wang Mazi was engrossed in eating when he heard this and shook his head:

"What's wrong?"

"Do salamanders not taste good?"

Wang Zixu gave a half-smile:
"No."

"Monkfish is ten yuan a pound, and it tastes a bit like this."

Wang Mazi waved his hand dismissively:

"Pull you down."

"I don't know what you mean by 'that thing,' but can that thing compare to a giant salamander?"

"This is a protected animal!"

Wang Zixu chuckled twice and said nothing more.

He then picked up a piece of what he called pangolin meat with his chopsticks.

Sure enough, I unlocked a new achievement again.

[Achievement Name: Tasting Porcupine Meat]

[Requirement for acquisition: Consume cooked porcupine meat.]

[Achievement Points +5]

Wang Zixu tasted all the dishes on the table. They were alright, but none of them matched the names of the dishes.

They use common meats from the market to deceive the park's dog handlers.

A meal like this would normally cost less than 200 yuan outside, but here it costs 20,000 yuan.

It's a fighter jet of exorbitant profits!
[Haha, this is hilarious! The park makes so much money, but they're selling nothing but pre-made fake food? That's so narrow-minded!]

[Isn't this normal? Putting aside the fact that it's a scam park—those who deceive others will always be deceived in return—it's also a waste of time, effort, and the law to hunt and kill those protected animals listed in the guidebook. And if they were expensive, even dog lovers couldn't afford them. It's better to just buy similar meat from the market and pass it off as real meat; after all, no one among the dog lovers has ever eaten the real thing.]

[The comment above is correct. Those who have eaten these "delicacies" are probably already working as sewing machines, not being tricked into coming to the park.]

Holy crap, that makes so much sense, I can't argue with it!

[Wait a minute, everyone, I've noticed something interesting! Food unlocks achievements, but what about cigarettes? And alcohol?]

[Hiss! After this experience, I'm pretty sure the cigarettes and alcohol here are mostly fake too!]

I agree!

[+1, eagerly awaiting the streamer's selfless test!]

Wang Zixu was suddenly startled, but the live stream chat reminded him.

If you can achieve something with food, what about tobacco and alcohol?
This thing isn't considered a contraband in the game.

Drinking alcohol and smoking are also considered violations.

He licked his lips and glanced at Wang Mazi.

Wang Mazi picked up some food with one hand and poured wine from a bottle into his mouth with the other, looking quite like a hero from Liangshan Marsh.

After finishing the wine in the bottle, he reached out to take the wine glass next to Wang Zixu.

Wang Zixu reacted quickly, grabbing the wine glass before him and downing the liquor in one gulp.

I'll give it my all for those achievement points!

When Wang Mazi saw that Wang Zixu had finished his drink, his eyes softened, and he laughed heartily.
"it is good!"

"That's my true buddy!"

"Come!"

"Dry!"

next second.

A spicy liquid burned down my throat.

Wang Zixu clutched his throat with one hand, his face turning red, and quickly stuffed a few pieces of old duck meat into his mouth.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after the burning sensation subsided.

He then came to his senses and remembered the important matter at hand.

However, the expected achievement notification did not appear.

It seems that alcohol won't work.

That smoke...

He figured it wasn't very feasible...

"You've never even drunk alcohol before?"

"How did it grow so big?"

Wang Mazi was still laughing heartily at Wang Zixu's earlier embarrassment.

Wang Zixu glanced at him and happened to see the words "sauce aroma" printed on the bottle. His brows furrowed.

"The wine is fake too, isn't it?" Wang Mazi's laughter stopped abruptly, and he suddenly became sentimental:
"Whether it's real or fake liquor, it's still liquor, and it all has an alcohol content."

"Compared to the past and the future, this wine is damn sweet."

Wang Zixu rubbed his temples and said helplessly:

"you're drunk."

Wang Mazi grumbled and retorted:

"I'm not drunk!"

"I can drink another pound!"

Although he claimed he wasn't drunk, the flush on Wang Mazi's face and his increasingly dazed eyes betrayed him.

His speech started to become incoherent and illogical.

"Wine and meat pass through the intestines... but Buddha remains in the heart..."

He picked up the empty bottle, filled his glass again, and swayed his head.

"Half a pound down and you hit a wall, a sky full of stars crashing down on your spine."

"I ask the King of Hell if he'll accept me, for I still have debts to repay in the mortal world."

He looked at Wang Zixu with bleary eyes, still drunk:
"So, who's better, me or Li Bai...?"

"I'm not bragging!"

"I am familiar with Li Bai from Yan and Alexandre Dumas from abroad."

"Otherwise... otherwise, how come I managed to fool all those women back home?"

"..."

Wang Mazi got drunk, and perhaps due to the long-term high-pressure life in the park, his emotions became somewhat out of control, and he started talking nonsense.

The words have not yet fallen.

His body tilted to the side, and his head slammed onto the table with a thud, becoming completely still.

Haha, Uncle Ma looks kind of cute when he's drunk.

[This NPC's got some skills; he can even write poetry! What was that poem called again? It even rhymed quite well.]

[It seems to be a character created within the game.]

[If you don't understand, just ask: Who is Li Bai?]

[Sounds like a fictional literary giant from a game.]

What about Alexandre Dumas?

Uh... right now I just want to know, now that Uncle Ma is asleep, are there any projects coming up? (doge emoji)

The two finished all the food on their plates and even the wine.

Wang Zixu is in okay condition, but he feels hot in his chest and a bit restless.

Wang Mazi has really messed up.

When eating, people would shove the wine bottle directly into their mouths, spilling half of it but swallowing the other half.

The person is completely exhausted by now.

He lay down on the dining table and fell asleep, huffing and puffing.

"Ugh……"

Wang Zixu sighed deeply, rubbing his forehead; he was truly speechless.

Thanks to Wang Mazi's foresight in slipping the cook a cigarette.

The cook, instead of chasing him away, pulled out a tattered cloth from somewhere and had Wang Zixu put it on Wang Mazi.

Wang Zixu has nowhere to go now and can only pace back and forth in the cafeteria.

I chat with the viewers in the live stream every now and then to avoid awkward silences and a drop in viewers.

Perhaps the next project Wang Mazi mentioned was attractive enough, and the viewers were very much looking forward to it, so the popularity of the live stream did not decrease much.

About two hours passed.

Wang Mazi finally woke up slowly.

Wang Zixu handed him a glass of warm water to help him sober up.

Wang Mazi took the water and drank it all in one gulp. He then stood up, stretched, and loosened his muscles.
"Cool!"

He picked up a wine bottle from the table and smashed it on the ground with a loud "bang" without warning.

The wine bottle was shattered into pieces.

Wang Zixu was startled:
"Fuck!"

"What are you doing!"

Wang Mazi spat on the ground:
"You're right, this stuff is fucking fake alcohol."

"But the bottle is real. If we keep it, they might just fill it with fake alcohol and continue to deceive people."

Wang Zixu rolled his eyes and sneered inwardly.

You're a professional scammer, and you still have the nerve to criticize others for scamming people?
You deceive others, and others deceive you; karma is a cycle, it's just your turn now.

Before leaving, Wang Mazi drank another cup of water and said with renewed vigor:
"The next project!"

"let's go!"
