I’m A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 326: Chapter 325: Package Ticket Game!

Translator: 549690339

“Is it the Soul Arrival Mode again?”

Du Gang immediately realizes that his body has turned into that of an ordinary person.

He feels this is normal since out of the three contests he has been in, two were in this mode.

But the others were not the same.

“What’s going on? Where is my body?”

A man who has only participated in six contests cries out in surprise.

Several others are just as bewildered, clearly not having experienced this mode before.

At this point, a man named Ji Shan steps forward and quietly says, “Soul Arrival Mode, usually occurs at a 10 percent probability rate. In this task world, our goal is not to kill, but to use intelligence to escape!”

All eyes turn to him simultaneously.

“Our task is to complete all conditions in each ticket package. This is essentially a survival game!”

“There must be something tricky about these games. What we have to do is to survive until the end!”

He picks up his ticket that has already appeared in his hand and asks: “My ticket is called High-Speed Spook, which demands to finish five out of nine high-speed items. What about yours?”

After hearing this, everyone quickly checks their match tickets.

“Mine is also High-Speed Spook…”

“Same here…”

“Mine is different!”

Cai Junlang, who entered second to last shakes his head, “My package is called Ghost House Spook, also a five out of nine selection!”

“Mine is Ghost House Spook, too…”

Suddenly, a large group begins to chime in.

Du Gang, however, squints at his ticket.

“It’s a Beautiful Time package, also a five out of nine selection!”

At his words, Tao Xuanzhu and Kou Yingwu beside him relaxes.

They also have the same ticket package.

Knowing that the task this time is Soul Arrival Mode, relying mostly on intelligence to survive, they had been worried about separating from Du Gang, but luckily, they are still together.

[Please report to your respective ticket area within 30 minutes to check your tickets!]

Before there is much time for discussion, the system prompt sounds again.

At the same time, the previously closed theme park gate slowly opens, revealing three distinctly different paths in front of them.

The name of each different ticket package is written above each path.

“Everyone!”

With that, Ji Shan stands out again, heads to the front of the crowd, and when everyone’s eyes land on him, he begins, “In this task world, it’s called Green Peace, which implies no competition among us…”

“So I hope we can work hand in hand to complete this task. If you observe anything, it’s best to share it. Only by pooling our clues together can we survive…”

The simple purpose of his speech is to establish himself as the de facto leader of the High-Speed Spook group and thus demonstrate his capabilities.

Just as he pauses, Cai Junlang, who entered second to last, steps forward as well.

“Those who have the Ghost House Spook ticket, please come join me. Let’s discuss…”

It’s clear he also wishes to be a leader, not to showcase himself but to gain more information and thus increase his chances of survival.

Suddenly, the crowd divides into three groups.

One group follows Ji Shan down the path on the far left, another group follows Cai Junlang down the central path.

The rest, who didn’t move, are left with five people in the group.

Du Gang, Kou Yingwu, Tao Xuanzhu, along with the fourth and fifth women who entered – Zhang Xinyi and Yu Qian.

Seeing that no one else has moved, Kou Yingwu glances at Du Gang and upon seeing him nod, stands up to say: “We should get moving too. From the names, we can guess what games the other two groups might be playing. However, our Beautiful Time package is rather mysterious. Let’s take a look inside…”

He doesn’t mention anything about being a team leader. After all, even though they have five people in their group, one more than the other two groups, three of them are a sub-group. There’s no need for a formal leader.

After he finished speaking, the other three women remain silent, but they exchange glances, as if communicating through their eyes.

If there were others present, they would be suspicious whether these three women knew each other beforehand since they kept gazing at each other for such a long time.

Oh dear!

Kou Yingwu feels a bit awkward, no one seems to care about his suggestion.

“We should indeed take a look inside!”

Du Gang doesn’t seem to notice his embarrassment and nonchalantly agrees before heading toward the path on the far right.

Seeing this, Kou Yingwu shakes his head and follows Du Gang.

In the back, the three women finish their eye-to-eye conversation and finally follow behind them.

The path isn’t long, just over ten meters. In just a few steps, they reach a sign at the entrance.

[Package items: Ferris wheel, Merry-go-round, Luxury carousel, Happy sky, Pirate ship, Bumper cars, Rocking flying chair, Self-control plane, Monkey climb pole]

The group of five looks at the items listed on the package and finally understands why their package is called Beautiful Time.

The nine items are all relaxed games suitable for seniors.

Afterwards, seeing that the others still remain silent, Du Gang shakes his head and steps forward.

“Now, we have two choices!”

Everyone promptly looks at him.

Du Gang continues: “First, we can randomly choose the games we want to play, each on their own!”

“Second, we can each play a different game, and then inform each other of the game details and experience!”

His preference is for the second option. But this may seem unfriendly to Kou Yingwu and Tao Xuanzhu.

After all, these two teamed up with him because of his intellect. They might be reluctant to separate at this point.

However, they didn’t rush to express their stance. Instead, they are interested in hearing what Du Gang has to say.

On the other side, Zhang Xinyi is nodding her head, “If that’s the case, let’s go with the second option. Each person plays a different game. That way, it will be faster…”

Just as her voice trails off, Yu Qian shakes her head, “No, let’s go with the first option… It’s not good to separate. This task is designed for 13 people. If each person can clear the game on their own, wouldn’t it be too easy?”

The reason may be far-fetched, but from her eyes that were subtly locked on Zhang Xinyi, it becomes evident that they knew each other beforehand.

Du Gang contemplates for a moment before saying, “Normally, we would all choose to experience the games individually. But as Yu Qian has pointed out, if it were that simple, it wouldn’t meet the difficulty level set for thirteen people…”

“So, for safety reasons, let’s experience the first game together, shall we?”

Du Gang suspects whether clearing the game is linked with the number of people. For instance, if there’s a game that requires several people to work together for clearance, otherwise, it would result in everyone perishing.

Although Yu Qian has no objections, Zhang Xinyi appears hesitant. She clearly wants to finish the games on her own.

Du Gang clears his throat, “Right now, we don’t have any knowledge about these games. Hence, I suggested we stick together for the first round…”

“Once we are familiar with the rules, we can decide whether to separate for the second round!”

With clear understanding of Du Gang’s intention, Kou Yingwu nods, pretending to agree, “Sounds reasonable. Let it be so!”

Tao Xuanzhu, standing by his side, naturally won’t object and nods approvingly as well.

On the other side, Zhang Xinyi, seeing that the others have agreed, doesn’t voice any objections and agrees as well.

“So, which game are we playing for the first round?”

Kou Yingwu looks at the countdown which is still ticking and quickly asks.

A few people looked at the nine package options, all descending into the throes of indecision.

“In the dark and not knowing anything, it doesn’t matter which one to choose!”

Du Gang quietly said: “Regardless of which to choose, let’s experience it first, then gauge what the situation is!”

“Then… the Ferris wheel?”

Zhang Xinyi looked at the distant wheel that reached high into the sky and asked softly.

Hearing this, Du Gang looked towards the faraway Ferris wheel, which was no different from those he had seen on Earth, and it appeared harmless.

“Let’s choose this then!”

Soon, they headed towards the Ferris wheel attraction.

Before long, they reached the ticket checking area of the ride.

[Please register with the package ticket]

Encouraged by this notice, the group individually swiped their package tickets at the entrance check.

[The participants for this Ferris wheel attraction are: Du Gang, Tao Xuanzhu, Kou Yingwu, Zhang Xinyi, and Yu Qian. Please enter the cabin within ten minutes]

With the announcement from the system, everyone quickly proceeded along the path provided.

“Don’t be the first!”

As they entered, Du Gang subtly reminded Tao Xuanzhu and Kou Yingwu.

In a situation where nothing is known, it is best to keep a low profile and not make oneself the front runner.

Don’t be the first?

Upon hearing this, Kou Yingwu was startled and then made a mental note of Du Gang’s words.

Considering he was currently the first one in line and it was not easy to stop on the bridged path, he walked all the way to the bottom of the Ferris wheel where there was room for three or four people, stopped, moved aside, raised his head to look up as if he was very curious about the object above.

Du Gang was second in line, so he naturally wouldn’t go ahead either. He, too, walked by Kou Yingwu, looking up towards the sky.

Tao Xuanzhu was a bit embarrassed. Under normal circumstances, she would continue forward to maintain her lady-like demeanor, but Du Gang had also quietly told her not to be the first.

Well then, when it comes to survival versus face-saving, survival clearly holds priority.

With that decision, she also stopped and raised her head just like the other two, looking towards the sky.

“Huh?”

Zhang Xinyi and Yu Qian trailing behind approached with quizzical expressions, also looking upwards.

“What are you all looking at?”

They were rather curious, not knowing what these three were up to.

Especially Tao Xuanzhu, who in their eyes was a fairy untouched by mortal affairs, did appear somewhat foolish with her head held aloft…

Without turning his head, Kou Yingwu replied indifferently: “Nothing, just seeing how high it is, and if there’s anything unusual up there…”

Yu Qian also checked with others for a while, but since she couldn’t notice anything unusual, she glanced at the time hanging on one side and said: “Guess it time to get on, not much time left…”

After saying that and seeing that others hadn’t made moves, she shrugged, and walked over to the platform by herself.

When she reached the cabin, she checked quickly and upon finding no abnormalities, climbed up and sat on a chair on the side.

Just as she was about to beckon the others, the cabin she was in suddenly lurched, as if being pushed, and began to rise towards the sky.

“Oh…”

Seeing this, the others quickly followed.

Humans can be quite strange at times. When the Ferris wheel was stationary, no one wanted to be the first one to get on, but once it started, they didn’t want to be left behind.

Kou Yingwu ran over quickly, getting into the cabin that stopped at the second position.

Following him were Zhang Xinyi and Tao Xuanzhu.

Du Gang, however, was thoughtfully staring at the central hub of the Ferris wheel.

“Du Gang, hurry up!”

Tao Xuanzhu had been watching Du Gang ever since she climbed up and upon seeing him daydreaming, she reminded him.

After hearing her, Du Gang nodded and did not delay. As the new cabin arrived, he leapt inside the next moment.

[The Ferris wheel is starting. All players, please complete five rounds immediately]

“Five rounds?”

The others were puzzled, “Are these five rounds determined by the number of players?”

None knew the answer. They all sat in the cabins, watching the world outside.

Meanwhile, the Ferris wheel began to turn slowly without any issues, like a common amusement ride.

Kou Yingwu looked around for a while, but couldn’t discern anything. His heart was in turmoil.

He understood that things here were far from simple. Unfortunately, he couldn’t discern anything out of the ordinary.

“Wait, the biggest anomaly is that everything here is too normal!”

He looked down at the cabin where Du Gang was, only to observe Du Gang staring blankly at the spinning hub.

Staring blankly?

Kou Yingwu felt a twitch in the corner of his mouth. “Brother, are you serious? If even you’ve got nothing, the situation is dire…”

The others were having similar thoughts.

“This is a mission for thirteen players and we are supposed to pass through five games. It’s essentially a game of survival!

Yu Qian voice echoed through the wheel, as if speaking to all others, “But now, why is this Ferris Wheel so eerily quiet?”

She was utterly baffled. In her view, whether there were enemies or challenges yet to face, they were supposed to present themselves for resolution, right?

However, everything was currently too serene…

“Could it be that this Ferris wheel is really as simple to pass as it appears?”

“Is Heavenly Court kindly giving us a vacation this round?”

Yu Qian was sitting in the first cabin, which was slowly ascending to the highest point.

She rested her head against the glass, her eyes darting back and forth, hoping to spot something unusual.

Yet disappointingly, the Ferris wheel remained as peaceful as it initially appeared.

“That is…”

Down below, Du Gang’s pupils suddenly shrunk. Staring at the wheel’s hub, he abruptly stood up.

In tandem with the rotation of the supporting struts, the hub resembled a twisted puzzle piece. The once smooth hub now sported elongated, spike-like rods.

The first cabin to reach the highest point suddenly lost its safe mooring and started to slide down.

“Whizz!”

Before anyone could react, Yu Qian’s cabin quickly slid to the central position of the hub.

“Chich!”

The grisly noise reminiscent of a steel needle piercing a watermelon echoed loudly.

The cabin Yu Qian was in instantly turned red with blood.

The first death had occurred…
