I started on a rocking horse and relied on watching ads to dominate the highway survival charts.

"If your wish is too big, you should tell me, and I will help you determine how to avoid triggering the rules."

"This works too?" Huo Yunzhi hadn't expected to find such a convenient option.

"In principle, it is not allowed, but you are subject to the rules of the Mountain God Temple Service Area."

"Okay, I want two parking passes for Ghost Theater."

The mountain god paused, first frowning before relaxing: "This wish can be made, but..."

"But what?"

"However, there are no parking cards at the Ghost Theater." The Mountain God Ghost carefully recalled something: "I remember that the opening time of that service area is fixed. As long as players have a ticket, they will be automatically teleported there when the Ghost Theater opens."

The mountain spirit pulled out two tickets: "These are them. You can make a wish if you need them. It's just..."

"Just say everything you have to say at once. Are you toothpaste? Squeeze out a little bit at a time."

"Rule number two: When making a prayer, one must bow and kowtow three times with a reverent heart."

Huo Yunzhi raised an eyebrow, pondered the second rule several times, and finally discovered a loophole.

This rule seems to lack a subject?

That leaves a lot of room for maneuver!

Thinking of this, Huo Yunzhi pointed to the prayer mat in front of the incense table: "Ghost, kneel down, I have a favor to ask of you."

The mountain spirit was incredibly perceptive and immediately understood Huo Yunzhi's meaning.

Then a strange scene appeared in the mountain god temple: the tall mountain god knelt on the prayer mat, his hands clasped together, and he knelt and kowtowed three times and nine times with a devout expression.

The player who made the wish stood calmly in front of it.

I silently recited the wish in my heart, and no warnings appeared that triggered any rules.

This means that their attempt to exploit the loophole has succeeded.

The mountain god and ghost respectfully presented the two tickets.

Huo Yunzhi took the money, yawned slightly, and walked out, saying, "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll go back and rest."

The mountain spirit followed Huo Yunzhi obsequiously: "My lord, it's a rare occasion for you to come here, so let me treat you properly. There are still plenty of wine and meat offered by players in the warehouse."

"No need, I've already eaten."

Huo Yunzhi was escorted out of the temple by the mountain god and ghost. When she saw the two fierce ghosts guarding the entrance, she said to the mountain god and ghost, "Now that there's a parking fee, the survival coins for the people below can no longer be delayed. If I hear something similar next time I come, I'll be unhappy."

"Understood, understood, I will follow your orders, sir."

"If the pollution affects the ranking, please send a designated service area parking card through the friend channel, and I will handle it."

"Yes!" This time, the mountain god and ghost responded the loudest: "Respectfully seeing off the ghost messenger!"

Three vengeful ghosts stood at the entrance of the service area, watching Huo Yunzhi leave.

They only breathed a sigh of relief after Huo Yunzhi disappeared from sight.

"The Ghost Messenger is truly beautiful inside and out."

"Yeah, if it were one of those heartless ghost messengers, we would be dead already."

"No, I need to clear the parking area!"

The three ghosts rolled up their sleeves and enthusiastically began to maintain the originally dilapidated mountain god temple.

After returning to the vehicle, Huo Yunzhi sent the information she had heard from the mountain spirit to the group chat.

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: I've checked. The Ghost Theater will reopen in three days. I'll trade one of the tickets to Shen Chilie first.

【I Have a Logic Cat】: Okay, I understand. I will also take this time to collect more information about the Ghost Theater.

[Iron Wolf]: I will prepare my weapons in the meantime.

[Bang Bang will give you two punches]: Ah! I really want to go with you guys too!

【Shangshanruoshui】: I will prepare enough healing and auxiliary tools for you with Miaomiao.

[Ruthless Rice Cooker]: What should I do then? Can I bring pets in? How about I bring Miaomiao along?

[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: We won't use this for now.

After Huo Yunzhi traded the tickets to Shen Chilie, the group chatted for a few more minutes before starting to complete their respective daily schedules.

For the next two days, Huo Yunzhi spent her time increasing her mileage with Fufu, listening to Wen Zhaoye share information in the group chat, and collecting materials needed for fishing rod blueprints.

Coincidentally, the carbon fiber needed for the fishing rod blueprints, like the waterproof coating, can only be obtained at the Ghost Playground service area.

This made Huo Yunzhi increasingly looking forward to the Ghost Opera Garden service area.

Day Three

After finishing in the evening, Huo Yunzhi sat fully armed in the vehicle.

The ticket says 8 PM, but it's already 7:55 PM.

During those five minutes, their group messages kept coming in one after another.

The group chat stopped as soon as the clock struck eight.

Looking out the window of the vehicle, Huo Yunzhi saw a brightly lit, antique-style house appearing by the roadside.

The Ghost Theater has opened.

Huo Yunzhi parked the vehicle in the parking area, told Fufu to keep an eye on it, and then carefully got out of the RV.

[Service Area: Ghost Theater]

[Rank: NO.827]

[Pollution level: Completely polluted.]

It was indeed a completely polluted service area.

Huo Yunzhi pursed her lips excitedly, a little nervous.

After all, this was the first time she had ever seen a service area ranked so low.

"The ranking of these service areas is outrageous." Shen Chilie appeared out of nowhere next to Huo Yunzhi.

Huo Yunzhi frowned deeply: "This means that this service area has been contaminated for a long time. As long as there is any living thing inside, it is probably just like the Qiao family's old house, completely contaminated and full of evil spirits."

"The chat group is also unusable," Shen Chilie told Huo Yunzhi after fiddling with the panel.

Now, even Wen Zhaoye, the "Super Brain," can't be used.

Huo Yunzhi and Shen Chilie exchanged a glance and then both sighed.

The moment the two stepped into the theater, a notification sounded in their ears, and a message appeared in front of Huo Yunzhi without warning.

[Special Supplementary Rules for Ghost Theater: This service area requires 15 players to operate. Each player who successfully watches the entire show in this service area will receive 6000 Survival Coins, 1 selectable special item, and 2 special resource materials. If any player dies, their rewards will be divided equally among the remaining surviving players.]

Huo Yunzhi quickly turned to look at Shen Chilie, only to find that Shen Chilie's expression had not changed at all, as if he had not seen the rule at all.

"Why did you stop?" Shen Chilie took two more steps forward, then turned back curiously when he realized Huo Yunzhi hadn't followed. "What did you find?"

"No." Huo Yunzhi shook her head and glanced at the other players who had already entered the theater.

Only when she realized no one was looking in their direction did she walk over to Shen Chilie's side.

She tiptoed closer to Shen Chilie's ear and asked, "When you came into this theater just now, did anything appear?"
