Chapter 437: Dongming Island Theme Park Goes Viral on the Internet, and Mr. Lu is Confused (2-in-1 Pre-order)

The setting sun on Dongming Island, like a flaming fireball, slowly sank into the shimmering sea, coating the entire coast in a warm orange-red hue. In a seaside tavern on the island, a group of young game developers sat together, excitedly discussing the level design for their upcoming open-world immersive game, Nightless.

Sitting at the head of the table was Ma Feilei, the company's technical director, a handsome, refined young man. He glanced at the excited faces, his lips curling up slightly in a sly smile. "Tell me, how are you planning to design the new levels for 'Nightless'? Don't forget, we're aiming to create an unprecedented immersive experience in the motion sensor cabin this time."

Huawu's beautiful producer immediately took over the conversation, her petite frame brimming with energy as she spoke about the game. "Remember what we discussed in the tavern just now? We're drawing inspiration from the thrilling experiences you, Mr. Ma Feilei, have designed for this park. For example, in the Jiangnan Water Village level, why not design a large-scale 'flooding of the Yellow Turbans' scene?"

Ma Feilei nodded, his obsidian eyes gleaming with admiration. Hua Wu, caught in his unfathomable gaze, felt a flicker of anxiety. Her face flushed slightly, and she shyly lowered her head.

Ma Feilei glanced around at the others and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Not bad, not bad. It seems you've drawn a lot of inspiration from the experience projects on Dongming Island. But this is just the beginning. To create an excellent somatosensory cabin game, we need more unique and intriguing scene designs." He paused, a sly glint in his deep eyes, and then changed the subject, "Why don't you incorporate some of our classic games from the past to create unique experience parks?"

He waved his hand with a flamboyant expression. "For example, we could create a 'Cat Girl Paradise' just for cat girl enthusiasts! It would be filled with all sorts of cat-eared girls, from swimsuit cat girls to kimono cat girls to samurai cat girls. They'd be charming and virtuous, or majestic and powerful. Not only would you be able to interact with them up close, you might even find yourself a special cat girl companion!"

Hearing this, the young male producers present couldn't help but cover their noses, fearing that they would burst into a nosebleed. Seeing this, Ma Feilei stretched out his finger and shook it in front of them, revealing a mischievous expression. "Hehe, this is the paradise that everyone longs for. I knew you would like it! But don't get too excited, there might be some little Easter eggs hidden in it."

When the young people heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. Everyone knew how difficult it was for Ma Feilei to design game levels. Perhaps there was some shocking conspiracy hidden behind this seemingly paradise-like cat girl paradise?
"Okay, okay, don't be so nervous." Ma Feilei laughed as he looked at everyone's uneasy expressions. "I was just joking. But getting back to the point, let's design a 'mouth cannon arena' specifically for players who like to output damaging words. Here, you need to use the most vicious language possible to attack your opponent and force them into a desperate situation in order to win! Of course, in the arena, everyone will prepare endless trash talk for you, so you also have to be prepared to be beaten to a pulp."

Hearing this, many producers were already scared out of their wits. This is really a nerve-wracking game design! But at this moment, Ma Feilei suddenly made a dramatic turn. "Finally, we will also design a 'desert island survival' level. Here, players will be abandoned on an uninhabited island, surrounded only by the surging sea and the boundless blue sky. You will have to use limited resources to try to survive in this remote place. You may have to be self-reliant, hunt for food, build simple tents, or even engage in a desperate fight with other tourists for those precious survival resources!"

Ma Feilei's eyes lit up with a frantic and determined expression, and his words became increasingly powerful. "You must learn how to survive on a deserted island, enduring hunger and thirst, traversing the sand, and battling the elements! Only by persevering will you finally be rescued! I promise you, this will be an unprecedented thrilling experience, one that will leave you in a perilous predicament, forcing you to fight tooth and nail to stay alive!"

Ma Feilei's impassioned speech truly moved the young people present. They were involuntarily captivated by his enthusiastic performance, their eyes gleaming with immense longing and yearning. "Alright! Let's design these unprecedented experiences in 'Never Nights'!" Hua Wu excitedly shouted, her childish body trembling slightly with excitement. The others also cheered, enthusiastically voting to approve Ma Feilei's new ideas.

Seeing the enthusiastic response, Ma Feilei put on a refined and elegant expression, his lips curled up gracefully. "Great, I knew you guys got my idea. Remember, we design games to give players the most unique and impactful experience! I believe that in No Nights, you will be able to turn these fantastic ideas into reality."

The last rays of sunset faded into the horizon as he spoke. The warm glow of the tavern illuminated everyone's faces, making them even more charming and inviting. They chatted and laughed, filled with endless anticipation and passion for the upcoming game development. It was as if, on this ordinary night, a brand new gaming kingdom was slowly being built.

Inspired by Ma Feilei's design, Dongming Island's theme park quickly became a tourist favorite, and the entire island was bustling with activity. At the park's entrance, a team of staff dressed in adorable cat-ear costumes enthusiastically greeted visitors. Their sweet smiles warmed the heart like a ray of sunshine, and their rosy cheeks and towering cat ears captivated many young male visitors, who couldn't help but stare at them intently.

Seeing this, a staff member smiled sweetly, gently hooked his cat ears with his fingers, and made a coquettish expression. "Meow~ Welcome to Dongming Island's Cat Girl Paradise! Here, you will have an unprecedented immersive experience and interact with adorable cat girls up close! But you have to behave well, otherwise you will be fined!"

Hearing this, a group of adolescent boys blushed and nodded cautiously. Then, a beautiful catgirl in a kimono sauntered over, her captivating fox eyes scanning the crowd with a mysterious smile. "Sir, would you like to be my master?" she suddenly invited a young man, reaching out to pull him into her embrace and whispering softly in his ear, "Follow me, and you'll be in a cat-ear paradise like no other."

The young man was instantly dazzled and paralyzed, letting the catgirl drag him into a complex maze-like building. This was the "Catgirl Harem," a paradise designed specifically for catgirl enthusiasts. It was said to be home to countless beautiful catgirls with diverse personalities, ready to serve and satisfy visitors' every whim and fantasy. Of course, this was only part of the game; what truly awaited him was likely far more thrilling and brutal.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the park, a venue known as the "Word Cannon Arena" erupted in a flurry of insults. Two young men in training uniforms were seen exchanging heated barbs, standing, crouching, pointing, their faces distorted by the intensity of their shouting. "You're a stinking pighead, a brainless idiot!" "You're just a parentless, defective piece of shit, living like a pariah, waiting to die!" Each exchange of insults grew more vicious than the last, and the constant barrage of insults was heard. The audience outside the arena gasped in amazement, praising this "word cannon battle" as truly spectacular.

At that moment, a stunning woman in a dress entered the arena. With a clap of her hands, the verbal spat between the two sides abruptly ceased. "Very well! It seems you've fully grasped the essence of the 'verbal battle.' However, I declare now that you two will enter the next stage—a verbal battle!" With a frivolous smile, she suddenly pulled out two sharp daggers from her bosom and tossed them to the two men. "Come on, prove your strength with your ruthless tongues! Whoever's throat is slashed first by the other's blade loses!" The audience erupted in astonishment at this unexpected development. This verbal battle was truly bloody and brutal, wasn't it? Even as everyone was still stunned, the two young men were already hurling insults at each other while stabbing frantically with their knives. It seemed they had long since mastered their verbal and physical skills, completely oblivious to the life-or-death situation at hand.

Leaving this frenzied battlefield behind, let's take a look at the park's other attractions. On a desolate stretch of mudflat, dozens of tourists desperately ran, hunted, and pitched tents. They were all participants in a "desert island survival" simulation, forced to fend for themselves, humble themselves, and fight the elements to stay alive. Some were squatting on the ground, struggling to build a fire, others killing a rabbit with branches, while others lay limp, exhausted. Suddenly, a group of masked men, armed with weapons, burst out. They bullied and threatened the tourists, forcing them to surrender. The tourists endured the humiliation and fought back desperately. This was perhaps what Ma Feilei described as "a desperate struggle for resources."

Meanwhile, the park's various landscapes unfold with breathtaking scenes. In a village engulfed in flames, visitors desperately flee, locked in a desperate battle with the weapon-wielding "Yellow Turban Army." In a frontier fortress shrouded in smoke, visitors are seen fighting, wounded, and killed in a hail of gunfire. Even the park's creeks occasionally surge, swallowing up visitors. The omnipresent danger and death create a thrilling and unpredictable virtual world.

Yet, amidst this perilous environment, a warm, human touch persists. From the park's somewhat shabby tavern, you can often see a few drunken tourists stumbling out, mumbling incoherently. And in secluded corners, you can occasionally glimpse a couple embracing and kissing, as if they've completely forgotten all the bloodshed and violence, simply basking in the tenderness of love.

Thus, in Dongming Island's theme park, a myriad of contrasting scenarios—crisis, joy, death, life—construct a series of unique and bizarre scenes. Visitors are invariably deeply moved and captivated by this unprecedented experience, as if transported to a new and unfamiliar dimension. While experiencing the thrill, they also seek a new outlet for humanity.

As night falls, this crazy and strange world does not sleep. The park is filled with mottled lights and regretful laughter, looming in the ambiguous moonlight. The tourists immersed in it seem not to want to wake up. Meanwhile, Ma Feilei and other producers are drinking and chatting happily in the tavern, celebrating the formation of this new and interesting world. They are all looking forward to the park becoming more and more popular and more exciting in the days to come.
