The car door opened. In a short period of ten minutes, Wu Jin and the youth had already gotten very familiar with each other, even starting to address Wei Shi as ‘Brother Wei’.
This couple was familiar with budget travel, and they were incredibly adept with strategies and coupons. Wu Jin managed to pick up a few group coupons, taking Wei Shi to pet cats for free, then picking up two cups of the cheapest sundaes, digging out the basil that the big boss didn’t like.
Wei Shi watched Wu Jin eat the herb.
Wu Jin pointed at the basil and expressed, “Many people don’t like to eat this herb.”
Wei Shi hooked his fingers.
Lips and teeth gently collided, separating again after a brief touch.
Wei Shi evaluated the basil, “Not tasty.” Then, he gestured for Wu Jin to gnaw on the sundae again.
Wu Jin slapped the table, “No way, no way, we’re out in public. Don’t be shameless!”
Wei Shi cleared out his cup in a few quick bites and directly went over to press the other person into his arms.
The soft ice cream covered up the rich flavor of the herb.
Wu Jin flailed and kicked up a fuss. Wei Shi tilted his head, “There’s no one else here.”
Outside the primeval forest, after the rain, in a corner of the dessert station that was covered up by ferns, the two exchanged a kiss with high carbohydrate content and excessive sweetness.
There were three more stops before the minibus entered the pet exhibition.
At first, the other couple didn’t quite dare to talk to Wei Shi. However, after Wei Shi picked up a Flareon doll in an airgun shooting game, they immediately began to admire him. Wu Jin had been mooching coupons off them the whole way and finally gave the Flareon to the youth as a trade.
The two couples bid farewell to each other at the entrance to the pet exhibition.
After Wu Jin disappeared, the youth said excitedly, “The two of them are so nice!”
His partner nodded, “The one called Little Witch has constantly been dragging his boyfriend everywhere to see things.”
The youth, “Hm?”
His partner laughed, “It’s clear that Brother Wei is older and more experienced, but Little Witch is the one pushing him to come into contact with the outside world. They’re an interesting couple.”
Golden Cloud Special Pet Exhibition.
Wu Jin was filled with anticipation and expectations when he pushed open the door to the entrance. He enthusiastically picked up the tickets for the Pikachu exhibition––
Inside the crowded entrance.
Little ball-shaped yellow mice huddled together.
Wu Jin: “……”
‘Special Pikachu’ were displayed in different categories in the exhibition. The SS type Pikachu was a dyed hamster, the S type Pikachu was a golden hamster, the M type was a guinea pig, and the L type was a bamboo rat. There were also squirrels and a variety of foxes, and staff who were busy using animal-safe dye to color a mouse fox.
On the right hand side of the exhibition, there were many Pikachu dolls and figurines for sale, with a 10% off promotion. There were head scratchers, ethnic style long skirts, and red fluorescent fortune cards…
Wu Jin stared in shock at the highly photoshopped Pikachu on the flyer
The staff, on the other hand, were extremely patient, “It’s exactly because they don’t look alike that it’s special. If it was exactly the same, it would be an ordinary Pikachu! Dying mice is also a type of behavioral art. What do you say, will you buy anything? There’s a discount if you buy three hamsters together, and the bamboo mice can be used to make soup on the spot&#k2026;”
A few minutes later, Wu Jin was in a daze as they left.
“Wasn’t that all a lie!”
Wei Shi confirmed it, “Yes.”
Wu Jin unfolded the map for the tourist area and didn’t think twice before saying, “We’ll go to the hot springs hotel.”
So, the two people followed the stream of people headed to the hot springs hotel. On the way there, they met the same couple from earlier. With the exception of Wei Shi, the other three were all disappointed. Fortunately, based on the reviews on the Star Net, the planet’s private hot springs were very much worth visiting.
Scenic spot transportation hub.
Wu Jin and the youth opened their eyes wide at the same time, “What?!!”
The AI tour guide told them again, gently, “From here, you can take the minibus to the hot spring area. It’ll pass through three shopping centers, and there will be a one hour stop at each one. Dear tourist, we don’t do compulsory shopping, it’s just that since we’re passing by, and they shouldn’t be missed. Raw jade materials start from 90% off, and you can use your Federal credit status to bet on stones…”
Wu Jin and the other couple, “……”
Wei Shi suddenly spoke up, “What about the other routes.”
The AI tour guide was instantly excited, its mechanical eyes shining happily, “Hello, guest. The fastest way to get to the hot springs area from here is to cross the untamed jungle. There are over 40,000 species in Golden Cloud’s jungle, including extinct mammoths, artificially cultivated Saurischia dinosaurs, specialty moon goddess butterflies, and so on.”
“The cost of renting basic transportation equipment for the jungle is 600 credits per person and includes a safety anesthetic gun. The cost of employing an AI guide is 8000 credits a trip, and a field survival specialist instructor is 24,000 a trip. These one time fees will allow you to enjoy the splendor of the jungle. There are even famous survival show players among our gold medal specialists…”
The couple beside them were speechless and stunned.
The transportation and equipment rental cost was only 1200 for two people. It wasn’t unacceptable, but––
Who could cross the jungle with nothing but their bare hands?! A guide was a must, and at this time, it was already dark. If they weren’t lucky, they’d have to spend the night in the forest and hire a field survival instructor.
When these value-added services were piled on top, wasn’t it just a huge pit!
By the counter, Wu Jin was looking at the map, “The vehicle for rental is a small cross-country suspension vehicle. Driving in a straight line, it’ll take less than 3 hours.”
It was much faster than having to stay at the mandatory shopping points.
Wei Shi nodded, “We’ll go straight through.”
The AI guide was immediately excited, “Hello, two low-altitude cross-country suspension vehicles, an AI guide, plus a field survival specialist. A total of 33,200 credits. You can swipe here…”
Wu Jin refused directly, “Just the two vehicles.”
Standing in front of the tour guide service desk, the AI was stunned for a moment, so shocked it almost stalled. At the same time, the young couple, the live instructors who were trying to market to their customers, and the customers who were leaning against the counter, all exchanged glances.
Just the two vehicles?
What was the origin of these two people? They were wearing sunglasses on a day with light rain, and they even wanted to play and explore the jungle by themselves! Were they looking down on the mammoths and dinosaurs?!
The youth who’d given Wu Jin a bunch of group buy tickets immediately spoke up, “How about joining us on the minibus? I brought a board game––”
Wu Jin smiled broadly and waved his hand, “See you at the hot springs hotel!”
The two of them spoke to a guide to rent the vehicles and were immediately approached by the ‘safety director’ for a final round of persuasion.
On the field beside them were two teams of field instructors who were teaching customers how to use the rental equipment. At this moment, they were helping customers check over the hunting anesthesia guns that were attached to the vehicles.
The customer who was being helped gossiped, “Are those people also customers of yours? Why were they able to adjust the guns much faster than you guys, and finish in just a few moments.”
The field survival specialist, “Hey, how could that be––”
The specialist turned around, “––!!!”
At the edge of the primitive jungle, Wu Jin was installing the adjusted anesthesia gun onto the suspended vehicle’s weapons rack. The youth’s movements were quick and accurate, and his muscles that could burst out with explosive strength were revealed beneath the cuffs of his shirt.
Wu Jin put on his helmet and waved to Wei Shi who was close by.
The vehicles slowly ascended, and then rapidly sped into the jungle under the dusk sky like two meteors!
In the crowd, the youth who’d just been playing with Wu Jin was shocked, “The two of them… what exactly do the two of them do for a living?”
There were many tourists gathered together, so of course there were others who had noticed the commotion. In the faint breeze, someone could be heard whispering, “Didn’t they look like Little Witch and Wei Shi? Holy shit, how come I feel like I might have shipped a real CP?!”
The youth was stunned. Little Witch, Wei Shi.
He looked down at his terminal and searched them up, quickly showing the results to his partner.
Wu Jin, White Moonlight Entertainment, professional survival show battle team (Federal) assault and commander position, first rotation.
Wei Shi, Floating City Entertainment, professional survival show battle team (Wild Card) captain.
The youth was in a trance, “… The two of them look like that, yet they went to fight in survival shows? So, if they’re already professional players, why are they traveling on a budget?!!!”
Golden Cloud Resort Star, primeval jungle.
Two small cross-country vehicles shot past the trees, shaking the damp leaves and then shooting through the clinging, damp fog.
Wei Shi turned on the walkie talkie, “Prepare to ascend.”
The vehicles suddenly lifted up, breaking through the humid jungle mist. The last rays of burning sunlight were above their heads, and below them was a boundless sea of trees, scattered rivers, and the brilliant traces of life along the water.
Birds occupied the ecological niche at the edge of the jungle, while leopards, foxes, wild boars, and armadillos lived along the river. Deep in the jungle, the mountain cliffs blocked off the monsoons and ocean winds of the planet. Herbivorous feathered dinosaurs appeared sporadically, followed by large feline mammals that looked down from high perches––
On Wu Jin’s terminal, the oxygen content index went up and down crazily.
They arrived at the first charging station.
The vehicles landed. Wu Jin unclipped the helmet and bent over to replace the energy core.
The youth’s chest and back were sweating from the heat of the vehicle. There was nobody else at the charging station, so Wu Jin took off his jacket and sprayed himself with water from the hose before swiping his card and buying a disposable towel.
Wei Shi’s voice transmitted across the walkie talkie, “Listen carefully.”
The hot air seemed to have been disturbed by low-frequency sound waves, and the earth trembled slightly. In the distance, there was a series of calls, the sound deep and majestic.
Wu Jin’s heart abruptly thudded in his chest.
Wei Shi’s vehicle descended, and Wu Jin drilled in directly. The man wiped the youth dry with the white towel that was wrapped around Wu Jin, and the vehicle rose up into the air again.
In the distance, a group of mammoths slowly ascended the mountain, visible at the boundary between the forest and the snow field at the top of the mountain peak.
The ridges of the snowy mountains in the distance were straight, like a white pyramid. The snow cap reflected the last rays of sunset, and the mammoths were like travelers who were returning late to meet the sunset.
Mammoths had died out even before 2000 BC, when pyramids had just risen up in Ancient Egypt. They were first depicted on pottery found in Babylon, like leaders of an ancient tribe.
Wei Shi: “Hold tight.”
The vehicle entered low-noise mode and followed the tracks of the mammoths. When they approached the artificial snow mountain, the cool wind blew into the half open window. Wu Jin’s eyes were fixed on the scene, and Wei Shi deliberately controlled the altitude of the vehicle without disturbing the elephant herd.
The mammoths disappeared with the last traces of sunset.
The vehicle returned to the charging station.
It vibrated violently as it landed on the flat ground, and Wu Jin jumped out from inside a while later, “No way! It’s dark here––”
Wei Shi’s voice was hoarse, “So?”
The youth’s pupils were shining in the night.
Wu Jin’s breathing was also coming rapidly. He blurted, “––To the hot springs hotel.”
The moon was a sliver in the sky, and the primitive jungle was covered in a layer of moonlight.
Two vehicles soared up into the sky, merging into the stars.
Juurensha: Omg, it’s so real, the tour that takes you through 3 whole shopping complexes…still, cute honeymoon trip!
xiin: i just smile like a fool every time i read this extra and think about WS and WJ being so low key and applying their survival show badassness to real life~
