The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

I'm not convinced!

"I'm sorry, Principal. I didn't tell them our destination this time because it was a surprise."

"I'm fine, Master Pingxin. It just so happens that the Stinky Rat is our imaginary enemy. I believe that after this trip, the four of you will definitely appreciate the charm of this place!"

The middle-aged man in a suit personally handed Ping Xin his admission ticket and then left, looking so aggressive that he worried he might have twisted his back. Seeing him storm off, Ping Xin wondered if he was going to make a big story, but since it looked interesting, he left it alone.

"Ping Xin, who was that just now~?" Hina was the first to ask among the four.

While he addressed Hiranobu by his name instead of "Hira-sama," and his demeanor during the conversation suggested they were acquaintances, nothing else was known. Someone holding a position under Hiranobu must possess the corresponding ability, and his outspokenness piqued Hina's curiosity about the amusement park.

"Well... to put it simply, he's an old architect who likes playing games. When we approached him earlier, he readily agreed. The only condition was that he become the principal."

Pingxin had no objection to this. After all, the director of an amusement park was just a title. Even though he had the highest position, he could still give some power to the deputy director.

Anyway, this old man himself has no interest in management, knows he is not capable and is willing to give up power. He just simply enjoys creating a fantasy world. So what if he is given the position of director of a kindergarten by such an interesting old man?

After putting on the smart bracelet that held the park admission ticket and distributing the remaining four to Toru, Enka, Hina, and Koito, Hiranobu cleared his throat.

"As an investor here, I now officially welcome everyone to Dreamland!"

Chapter 21: Trip to the Amusement Park Part 2

Compared to Disneyland, which should be bustling with people and crowded with people, Dreamland can be said to be sparsely populated and lacks the bustle and excitement of a large amusement park.

Having said that, there are actually quite a few people, and if you can get to a ride in about 10 minutes, who would want to wait in a long line for about an hour?

Especially since there were five of them today, there was no need to feel lonely or alone. The five of them were greeted by the smiling faces of the staff and allowed to enter the park, where they looked around the newly built amusement park.

In addition to the eye-catching buildings and facilities, the four were also curious about other places. For example, it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning, but there were neither too many people here nor too few people here. Even the number of vehicles passing by outside was not many, which seemed a bit strange.

"Today is the soft opening. Dreamland won't officially open until January 1st, the first day of the new year. Some of the people who can come in now are well-known critics and journalists, but the vast majority are people related to the Hengxin Group, the so-called stakeholders."

Enka looked around and found that most of the people here were families of three or four. There were some couples, but not many, but there were quite a few people who came alone. The composition of the tourists seemed a little different from that of ordinary amusement parks.

"Because it's Christmas and my birthday, everyone in the company is off except for essential staff. It just so happens that places like schools are holding various activities today, so there aren't many serious activities, so many people have taken time off to bring their children here to play.

There aren't many couples, really. There are a lot of solos because we have a lot of weirdos who don't mind being seen as alone. And...it's really fun here."

"Oh~~~~"

Hinana cried out when she heard Hiranobu's words, but I still gave her face as always, and she is worthy of being my beloved child.

Ping Xin added, "And according to the trend, we estimate that the number of people coming here will continue to increase from today, the 25th, to the 30th. After all, when the holiday just started, everyone definitely wants to get some sleep and rest, and some employees are coming here from out of town."

After five days of practical experience, Dreamland gave the staff a day off on December 5st to prepare for the opening on the first day of the new year. The first day was the least crowded, and it was his birthday, so today was the best day to come, and Pingxin's old plan was implemented.

“The only regret is that there were no themed events during the trial period. Normally, Dreamland would have themed events for different seasons, festivals, and events…”

"It's okay." Asakura Toru interrupted him directly: "We can come again next time... the five of us."

"...Well, let's go—"

......

...

..

After entering the park, there are not many amusement facilities, but a small square. There are not many people in the square now, but it may be crowded with people and pigeons looking for food in the future.

The plaza's purpose is, firstly, to facilitate meeting up with other visitors, as finding someone outside amidst the crowds can be challenging. Secondly, neatly arranged signage displays the names and gameplay of each attraction, along with real-time estimated waiting times. Visitors can also scan a QR code to download an app or log in to a mini-program for easy access. This truly exemplifies the modernity of amusement parks worldwide.

"There will be many opportunities to play in the future, so there is no need to play them all this time. It is not realistic in terms of physical strength or time, so my suggestion is..." After taking everyone to look at all the electronic screens, Ping Xin gave his own suggestions.

After a brief discussion, the five of them decided to play in a clockwise direction, starting from the left and eventually checking out all the areas. They would play whatever they found interesting in the middle and leave when the time was up.

Connecting the plaza to the main park is a bronze gate carved with fantastical creatures from legends around the world. Standing approximately eight meters tall, it stands open, symbolizing the connection between reality and fantasy.

The gate with all sorts of mysterious carvings on it looked so mysterious and majestic in front of the short mortals, but when I thought about the climbing frame in the old park that was taller than it, it didn't seem so majestic anymore...

"Dreamland is shaped like a square, and we're now at one of its corners. Besides the left and right routes, we can also take the middle route.

At first glance, it looks like a classic three-way choice, but you can actually go to other roads on the central avenue that spans three roads. Besides the roads indicated by the signs, you can certainly take shortcuts, but for safety reasons, we don't recommend doing so.

Although Pingxin likes to be the midfielder and take resources and set the pace, today they are playing as a group, so the five of them started playing from the project on the left road as they had discussed before.

......

...

..

"The buildings here look very old, and the people passing by are all dressed in very old-fashioned clothes. Is this a reproduction of a bygone era?"

"And the architectural styles vary greatly between regions. Perhaps it's not just the eras that matter, but also the regions themselves. It's truly fascinating..."

The bell tower from the Italian Renaissance, the pirate ship from the Golden Age of Piracy, the Notre Dame Cathedral that existed during the French Revolution, the tower from the Victorian era in England... If you didn't know in advance that these were things that were reproduced with great effort, you would probably really suspect that you had accidentally traveled through time.

"The first half of the left road is divided into sections, each representing a different era. Visitors can simply admire the architectural styles, clothing, and food of each era, or actively play the role of a member of the Assassin Brotherhood."

Hiranobu, walking behind the four, had donned a robe and a white hood, his face half hidden in the darkness, making his true form unidentifiable. With the exquisitely crafted robe, the light armor that required a premium, and the even more expensive hidden blade, Mane's class transformation into an assassin was complete.

"Ah, I know. It's that parkour game where you just rush in and kill everyone, right?"

"..."

Although Ping Xin wanted to refute, firstly, his current character is an emotionless killer (assassin), and secondly, what Hina said seemed to be true. He could only say that this was the Berserker's Creed.

"There are also a range of activities here, including archery, dart shooting, parkour, stealth, horseback riding, etc. Which one should we try?"

The four people's answers were just as expected. After all, since they were already here, they definitely had to experience the signature program.

Chapter 22: Trip to the Amusement Park Part 3

Considering the issue of combat effectiveness, Koito proposed the idea of ​​choosing a setting set in the era of firearms for the experience. After all, it's unlikely that such a cute child would be able to wield swords and become a berserker. It would certainly be much more convenient if she could use American Iai. However, after Hiranobu's persuasion, he eventually gave up on this idea.

After all, when you can use a gun, the enemy can usually use one too, and there are more of them...

"To obtain the protected secret information, we need to unlock the five mechanisms located throughout the castle. You need to find the mechanisms and eliminate the guards there within 30 minutes.

After all the mechanisms are activated, someone will need to retrieve the intelligence located in the secret door of the command room. Then you will need to find a way to escape. If one person can reach the evacuation point with the intelligence, it will be considered a success."

After the explanation, the secret door at the back of the castle opened. Standing there, the assassin team, wearing robes of five different colors—black, white, yellow, blue, and brown—did not rush to set off. Instead, they stood there in a formal manner and began to discuss tactics.

"Try to avoid line of sight and wait for about three minutes until everyone is in position before attacking simultaneously. There's a limit on the number of NPCs that can spawn in the castle within a certain period of time, so if five of us attack together, the pressure on each other will be much less."

After the tallest man in the white robe spoke, the other four nodded one by one, and tacitly handed the most difficult command room task to him, and then began to internally allocate who would attack the remaining four points and what kind of tactics they should use to cooperate with each other.

After the first few levels, they've fully understood the rules of the game and how to capitalize on their strengths. Under the influence of a certain point slave, they've begun trying to break records for five-person teams, striving to make their mark on the leaderboards. Of course, besides someone's "teaching by example," the most important thing is...

The game is really fun.

The biggest problem with real-life role-playing projects is the lack of sense of immersion. After all, players cannot really encounter danger like in the game. After all, there are no resurrection coins in reality, and deducting 1 is useless. This just lacks the tense and exciting feeling in the game, which is the failure of traditional types.

But this is also the selling point of Dream Paradise——

Relying on special augmented reality equipment, not only the visual effects such as "Eagle Eye Vision" are provided, but also the sound of gunfire, the crisp sound of sword collision, and the smoke bombs will produce real visual impact.

Swords, spears, knives and axes appear different visually depending on each person's choice, but in reality they are all plastic sticks of uniform quality; Assassin's Creed's iconic hidden blade equipment is used with the help of special gloves, and when the palm touches the target, the hidden blade will extend in the virtual vision to kill the target; convenient weapons such as the hidden gun are aimed using the instrument on the wrist, and shooting is achieved by touching the trigger button on the index finger glove with the thumb; smoke bombs and other throwing props are selected with the button on the belt, and then the gloves and wrist instruments are used to perform real-time parabolic calculations. Even Newton would give a thumbs up when seeing this.

The design has been tested by professionals, modified many times after actual use, and the AR glasses and other high-tech equipment that have perfectly realized it, even if they are just some plastic toys in reality, can bring players enough novelty and immersion.

Thanks to AI and augmented reality, they've even saved on hiring NPCs. All enemies within a level are generated in real time by AI using models from a database. While ultimately lacking human intelligence and looking just as dumb as in the game, their appearance and player experience are impeccable, making them perfect for mowing down enemies in a game.

......

...

..

Behind pillars, in the bushes, on the beams and even behind the enemies, the petite figure in the black assassin robe seemed to be possessed by the soul of an assassin from ancient times, and truly transformed into a true shadow.

The ability to sense other people's gazes developed during the recording of the program, the flexibility and jumping ability honed by dance training, the skills to quickly absorb knowledge and practiced through daily study, and even her petite figure, which originally made her feel a little inferior, became her support at this moment.

Hinana's bright yellow robe was striking, while her translucent blue robe seemed out of place on land. Enka, unpretentious, opted for a brown robe to match her hair color. Hirayuki, a true experimenter, naturally chose classic white. Only Fukumaru Koito, after careful consideration, opted for black, ideal for stealth.

Although her actions were all during the day and she could achieve perfect stealth by simply killing all the witnesses, her dedication was evident in these small details. Taking Hirayuko's words, "walking, sitting, or lying down is all practice," to heart, Fukumaru Koito diligently "practices" every day, so even in an assassin role-playing game, she gave it her all.

"...!"

Hiding in the bushes, then waiting for the two soldiers to come over and killing them with one blow, this sounds like a simple thing. After all, in the game, you can just use your right hand. But in this role-playing game, there are no double hidden blades or execution prompts. All Fukumaru Koito can do is fast! Fast! Fast!

The left hand's hidden sword attacks the back of the heart, triggering a fatal blow. The right hand also stabs the opponent through the heart, killing him instantly, then sheathes the sword. Then he grabs the air and takes the two "corpses" back to the bushes to wait for the opportunity.

"5, 4, 3, 2..."

After observing the AI ​​soldiers for so long in the bushes, he had memorized their patrol patterns. Because of the perfect assassination, the "dead" soldier hadn't attracted any attention. The location of the trap had already been pinpointed using Eagle Vision, and when the three-minute mark hit, Koito pressed a tile on the wall.

About two or three seconds later, the other four traps were also triggered. By then, Koito had already begun preparing to retreat. Because she trusted her companions, all she had to do was ignore them and return to the escape point alone, completing the achievement of perfect stealth...

"...Where are the people?"

1, 2, 3. After she emerged, four people should have escaped, but Koito never saw the iconic white robe. After all, she was just acting, not a true assassin. The passionate and compassionate girl, disguised as Teemo, crouched in the bushes near the back door, observing silently, but there was no sign of Hirayuko...

what are you doing?

When the four saw the white-robed assassin standing at the highest point with his arms outstretched, there was no need to say anything more—

Free fall, leaving your body to gravity, and entrusting your life to faith, this is a leap of faith!

GAME Clear!

Chapter 4000: Trip to the Amusement Park Part ()

"It's okay to take pictures, but why such a weird pose?"

"This is the signature pose of the Ginyu Force, the top elite troops under the Emperor of the Universe. So, the little brats now..."

Higuchi Enka is angry!

"Ahaha~ Heishin is only two years older than me, but he always sounds like an old man when he talks~"

But judging from her appearance, no one would have thought that Hina Ichikawa, who is the tallest and has the best figure, is actually the youngest one here. Who can you go to for justice?

"It's pretty good, isn't it? It looks very interesting."

This is Toru Asakura, she has never cared much.

"Enka-chan, isn't it nice to experience this feeling once in a while?"

If it weren't for the bonus from the hidden achievement Leap of Faith, Fukumaru Koito's perfect stealth would have been the highest score of the entire team, which shows how dedicated and immersed she is. It's only occasionally okay, but if it happens more often, Enka is really worried that Koito will suddenly awaken her assassin bloodline and run around in the heights for no reason.

You have to know that there are not so many hay carts, haystacks or rivers for you to jump into nowadays!

But since no one seemed to mind, Enka let go of her slight embarrassment. Koito was having so much fun, she didn't want to spoil it. Thinking about it, the assassin's hood covered most of her face, and if it weren't for the team name "noctchill+," no one would have thought they were them. So, reluctantly, she chose the more normal pose from the five options...

Although it was only relatively normal, it made her feel better in comparison. If it weren't for Koito, Enka would have flatly refused to participate in such a stupid thing even if the other two begged her.

If it was a regular letter, I would definitely sigh "This is motherly love~" and then be beaten up -

"..."

"No, why did you hit me suddenly?"

"Sorry, my assassin bloodline suddenly awakened, so I wanted to give you a stab."

"?"

Instead of choosing the photo of Hiranobu with a puzzled look on his face after being backstabbed, he chose the photo of the five people in a mess as they were preparing to pose as the Ginyu Force as a commemoration. In this way, the memories of the five people were also recorded in the system. Does this count as leaving their own shadows in the world?

No, if we're talking about souvenirs, then the usual live broadcasts, live performances, and various magazine photo shoots are more like souvenirs. After all, the pose in this photo is really stupid. If it weren't for the team name, who would have connected the five humorous hooded men with them?

"..."

Higuchi Enka suddenly thought of Hirayobu. He was a mystic, leaving no visible evidence of him to the outside world except for family photos and a few people's private collections on their phones. Perhaps he was a little relaxed today because it was his birthday, or perhaps it was because they were there too...

No, if you think about it, with his hood covering his face, who would recognize him? Although Enka herself could recognize Hira Nobu from this photo...

"? No, Enka, why did you poke me again?"

"It's okay, my hand just slipped."

"???"

We were three meters apart, and you flashed over and stabbed my kidney with a knife (stick). Do you call that a slip of the hand?

After quietly saving the photo data on her phone, Enka, wearing a brown hood, silently returned to the lively foursome. Perhaps at this moment, she looked even more like an assassin than before—

"You slipped again!???"

......
