At breakfast ti, the four of them had a video call through their wristbands, which had restored communication, to analyze and summarize the events of the Nightti Amusent Park ga from the previous night.
Yu Xi focused on the point that NPCs were also participants, advising everyone to pay more attention to the ga rules, as so intellectual challenges might have multiple ways to succeed.
Her main concern was Yu Zhenzhen. Since she wasn’t an actual task player and was acting alone, Yu Xi feared she might not be able to handle things.
On the other hand, Yu Zhenzhen was also worried about Yu Xi, as she was the only one without a defensive shield among the four of them.
Ya Tong shook her head. “There’s not much we can do at the mont. Lin Wu, Yu Zhenzhen, and I are relatively close to each other. It would take about 3 to 4 days by shuttle to reach us. If any of us uncovers the hidden station’s clues and confirms the station, the other two can simply take a shuttle to join up. This way, we can not only be together and look out for each other, but also stay close to the hidden station.”
This thod seed the most reasonable. At least during the 3 or 4 days they spent on the shuttle, they wouldn’t be selected by the Nightti Amusent Park.
However, Yu Xi was on gjgw star, the farthest amusent zone from them, and it would take seven days to reach any of the planets where her teammates were located.
The conversation then shifted back to the likelihood of being selected for the ga.
Ya Tong, Lin Wu, and Yu Zhenzhen all agreed with the 80% probability that the four of them would be selected again that night.
After all, based on the rewards they received from the previous night, it was clear that they applied to the entire station, not just the current one. This type of reward was usually given after completing hint tasks at other stations.
Yu Xi concluded, “So, the hidden Nightmare Park at midnight must be the crisis of this station. It wasn’t the first ti it opened. This situation has probably been going on for a long ti. But because visitors who participated and survived forget everything about the Nightti Amusent Park, and all the ga facilities reset to their original state, no one knows about Nightmare Park, and the dayti Fairy Tale Amusent Park remains as beautiful and perfect as ever.”
The term “beautiful and perfect” felt particularly ironic in this context.
Yu Zhenzhen sighed and still seed confused. “But what about the people who died in the Nightti Amusent Park? Other people might not know, but those who ca with them to the park—won’t their families or friends notice their disappearance?”
Lin Wu responded, “Since the mories of those who participated in the Nightti Amusent Park can be altered, the mories of other visitors can be altered as well. A single amusent area has tens of thousands of visitors every day. For the few who die, if even their own families forget them, how could others notice?”
After all, the amusent park here was planetary in scale, and the Fairy Tale Amusent Park covered an entire star system. In comparison, the number of missing people was as insignificant as dust.
Ya Tong raised an eyebrow. “Dozens of people every day—over ti, that’s quite a number. We’ve only just arrived, and we don’t know how long this strange phenonon has been happening, or what it will evolve into… But from the Nightti Amusent Park I experienced last night, there are so many details that can’t be explained by science…”
Yu Xi sighed as well. “Every station in the Endless Train world is anti-science. The fact that a disaster event could unfold at a station with such advanced technology ans that the disaster itself is overpowering the technological backdrop of this place.”
Though she sighed, it was also because she thought of the native residents of this station. For the four of them, understanding the crisis here was a relief. They no longer felt the sa kind of anxiety and confusion they had yesterday, unsure of where to begin.
If they were all drawn again tonight, it would an that the clues to the hidden station and the tickets or other rewards they sought would be obtained from the Nightti Amusent Park. This clear and specific task was far easier than exploring everywhere and waiting for a trigger event.
And during the dayti, in addition to familiarizing themselves with the different amusent zones, they could take care of other things as well.
For example: Stockpiling.
After all, this was a star system station, and with VIP privileges, most things were available for free. Not stockpiling would be a waste of the entire Endless Train world!
After ending the video call, Yu Xi finished the cream bone broth and tatar fruit pancakes that had been delivered by room service. She then called room service again to prepare ten portions of bone broth and pancakes, asking them to be packed and placed at the front desk as she would pick them up before checking out.
As a VIP visitor at the Fairy Tale Amusent Park, she could take most food and supplies for free, though she couldn’t take more than ten portions per individual at a ti. But ten portions were enough for her, since there were many other restaurants in the “Snow White” amusent zone.
It was now 8:00 AM, and there were two hours before the amusent facilities would start accepting visitors. Today, she would take the shuttle to the “Little Red Riding Hood” amusent zone. Before leaving, she planned to use these two hours to stockpile so supplies.
In a star system station where everyone had wristband space, the biggest convenience of stockpiling was that she no longer needed to spend ti hiding her space.
Compared to the star system backdrop, the Fairy Tale Amusent Park didn’t offer many goods. Aside from a few the restaurants and drink/dessert shops, the rest were souvenir shops, costu shops, and stores offering daily necessities for visitors.
No matter how large it was, this was still just an amusent park. It was impossible to buy interstellar weapons, vehicles, or survival gear here.
At the sa ti, when visitors first arrived at the Fairy Tale Amusent Park galaxy, they went through a pre-entry inspection on the spaceship, and their private space buttons had to undergo security scans.
R-class weapons couldn’t be brought in, A-sized or larger vehicles couldn’t be brought in, personal als and drinks weren’t allowed, and live pets (including pet lovers) couldn’t be brought in…
Overall, it was no different from the entry inspections in her original world.
As for them, as travelers, they automatically bypassed this process upon arriving at the station.
Many visitors were naturally unruly, accustod to being reckless at stations, but here they had to behave.
During the day, she had seen conflicts arise between so visitors. Within less than a minute, park staff and security had arrived. They were well-equipped, even with weapons Yu Xi had never seen, quickly stopping the conflict and taking the individuals away.
This high efficiency contrasted sharply with the Nightti Amusent Park.
So, even if other visitors wanted to do sothing, they wouldn’t try to do it during the day.
The Nightti Nightmare Park was their ti. As long as they didn’t break the ga rules, they could do anything. After all, once the night session ended, everything would be erased.
The “Snow White” amusent zone has a total of nine thed restaurants, seven beverage and dessert stations, five souvenir and costu shops, and four supermarkets.
In the supermarkets, apart from everyday essentials, there are unique fruits from gjgw star and various custom-thed snacks made from the park’s special products.
Most of these items are whimsical and dreamy, with limited practical use, but because they are unique and beautifully designed, Yu Xi found them fascinating. She selected five to ten of each item she liked.
For example, the rainbow fruit juice she had drunk earlier. She didn’t know how it was made, but it had seven layers of juice, each with a different color and flavor, which didn’t mix. When drinking through a straw, she could finish one color before moving on to the next, enjoying seven distinct juice flavors in one go.
There was also the tatar fruit pancake she had eaten at the hotel that morning, which was also a fruit native to gjgw star. Apart from being used for pancakes, it could also be eaten directly. It had a creamy, juicy flavor—neither too sweet nor too greasy—and was very delicious.
Additionally, there were quite a few fun snacks similar to the skin-changing bubble gum, including imitation ice cream that matched different animal sounds to their respective flavors. After eating, visitors could mimic the animals’ calls, attracting them and increasing the affinity with the animals during visits to the zoo.
All the restaurants and shops could be accessed through the wristband’s interface, where visitors could choose their desired items. Each shop had a delivery robot that would quickly bring the selected items to them, making it the most common shopping thod of this era.
Of course, park visitors actually preferred going into the shops themselves.
They would sit down in the beautifully decorated thed restaurants, beverage bars, and dessert houses, leisurely ordering food and enjoying the view. Or, they would walk into souvenir shops and supermarkets, scanning their wristbands to access the appropriate product areas, where they could select items from the shelves or glass cabinets and place them in an automatic cart that followed them.
After making their selections, they could walk to the exit, where their wristbands would be scanned again, and the automatic detection system would store the items in their wristband space for them to take away.
It was said this thod mimicked ancient shopping practices from before the Great Universe era and was a shopping style that many visitors preferred.
Even though the items in hand were identical, many visitors reported that this selection thod felt more enjoyable.
As they gazed over the shelves full of products, food, and drinks, their brains produced a sense of satisfaction and happiness, an inexplicable feeling of contentnt.
Yu Xi: …
A perfect summary.
Wandering among the shelves filled with products, without needing to check prices or worry about whether the items were useful, she could simply take whatever she liked and place it in the cart—all without needing to push the cart herself, thanks to the fully automatic follow-cart.
Leaving the store, there was no need to wait in long lines to check out. She only had to ensure that she didn’t take more than ten of any item, and there was no need to bother with bags. She could simply scan her wristband and take the items directly into her space.
This was probably the ultimate shopping dream for anyone who liked to stockpile.
Between the two shopping thods, Yu Xi didn’t hesitate to choose the latter. In just two hours, she swept through all the restaurants, beverage and dessert houses, and supermarkets.
Condensed milk snow mountain ice cream, crispy blue bone fish, magical spicy chicken wings, bubble bread, fresh bone soup noodles, cloud sweet pastries, little dwarf sweet wine, rainbow fruit juice, fresh mint fruit, Queen’s concentrated coffee… ten portions of each!
Hovering replacent skateboards, breathing masks, sterilizing dental wipes, waterproof feather suits… ten of each!
…
Of course, she put most of the items in her space, leaving just a few in the wristband space.
Since the wristband space had a ti flow rate, food would spoil and beco cold, while her personal space didn’t have that issue, and retrieving items was much more convenient.

At 10:00 AM, she boarded the shuttle and left the “Snow White” amusent zone, heading to the “Little Red Riding Hood” zone.
The shuttle was sowhat like a high-speed train, with several carriages per vehicle. The exterior was a reclining cylindrical shape, and apart from the base, both the sides and top were entirely transparent glass.
The vehicle’s passage was suspended in the air inside a circular transparent pipeline, and the shuttle traveled at a high speed, even faster than the planes in her original world.
While sitting, if she slightly tilted her head, she could see the entire “Snow White” amusent zone.
Between different amusent zones, there were vast forests of green, purple, and pink trees, with bizarre shapes and colors.
In just ten minutes, she had crossed from one zone to another.
In addition to “Little Red Riding Hood,” the other two supporting thes in this zone were: Golden Goose and Little Farr.
Compared to the “Snow White” zone, which featured white buildings and a romantic atmosphere, “Little Red Riding Hood” had a more childlike architectural style, with richer colors.
The buildings here were modeled after various plants, simulating their shapes and colors to create a building forest, dotted with mushroom houses and cloud houses in varying colors. It was a zone that children would instantly fall in love with.
Therefore, compared to the “Snow White” zone, most of the visitors here were families with children.
Yu Xi stepped off the shuttle at the station and saw children running around in the plaza, inhaling the fresh scent of grass and trees in the air.
Not only was the architectural style considered, but even the temperature, humidity, and scent had been factored in.
The “Snow White” area had a noticeably cooler temperature with a fresh scent of rain and snow in the air, while the the of this area was set in a forest, so the temperature was warr, around twenty degrees Celsius, with a rich scent of sweet cake alongside the grass and wood.
Yu Xi found a “Tree-Imitation” hotel at the center of the “Little Red Riding Hood” zone. The entire hotel was built in the “tree,” and the “tree trunk” building looked incredibly grand. The rooms were mostly treehouses built on “branches” or individual cloud houses floating near the “leaves.”
She requested a cloud house and took the sightseeing elevator built on the “tree trunk.” After exiting at the corresponding floor, she walked through a suspended “branch” walkway to reach the cloud house.
The cloud house was entirely white, shaped exactly like a cloud, even with a similar texture. But when she opened the door, the interior was incredibly stylish and beautiful. There was a cloud-shaped bathtub, a cloud-shaped hammock, and a cloud-shaped terrace.
The overall setup was reminiscent of the terrace rooms she had stayed in at a cliff hotel in the past. Because it was high above the ground, looking out from the cloud terrace gave her a feeling of serenity.
Yu Xi spent half an hour in the hotel room, familiarizing herself with the three fairy tales: Little Red Riding Hood, Golden Goose, and Little Farr. Then, she left the hotel and started checking out the amusent facilities for the day.
With a clearer goal than yesterday, she paid more attention to the ga rules of the dayti attractions, the involvent of the staff, and whether any NPCs looked non-human or were playing roles.
By 1:00 PM, she had visited all the attractions—twelve in total, fewer than the “Snow White” zone.
She had lunch at one of the restaurants and began her stockpiling session, sweeping through all the restaurants, beverage stations, dessert shops, and supermarkets.
By 7:00 PM, at sunset, she sat by the window in a treehouse restaurant, enjoying a spicy lamb pot and a “Little Red Riding Hood” flower smoothie. While having dinner, she video-called her friends, who were also eating.
Yu Zhenzhen: “Can you believe it? I went to ‘Havoc in Heaven’ today, and now I’m drinking ‘Nectar of the Gods’…”
Lin Wu: “I’ve ridden the Demon King’s spinning light four tis today, and now even looking at curry makes
want to vomit…”
Ya Tong: “…”
She didn’t say a word, but her expression said it all. Given her personality, playing through every single attraction in the Hans Christian Andersen amusent park was practically torture for her.
Yu Xi chuckled but quickly sobered up. “Everyone, be careful tonight…”
**
At 2:00 PM, midnight arrived.
After dinner, Yu Xi returned early to the cloud hotel and inexplicably fell asleep again. Then, she was awakened once more by the familiar ringing of the bell.
The familiar childish voice echoed through the night sky.
—Ding… ding… ding…
—Nightti Amusent Park: Nightmare Park is now open. Visitors selected for the ga, please head to the highlighted area on your wristbands to participate in the activity.
—Hehehe, I’ll be waiting for everyone here~
Yu Xi opened her wristband, and this ti, the highlighted facility was: The Hungry Wolf Track.
**
During the day, the Hungry Wolf Track was one of the most popular attractions in this zone.
Visitors rode in bouncy cars, driving along a specially designed track. During the ride, 3D projections of hungry wolves and hunters would suddenly appear from behind trees or rocks.
There were more “hungry wolves” projections, about twenty or so, and when a visitor saw one, they had to press the jump button to avoid the projection. If a car touched a hungry wolf projection, it would be locked in place for one minute.
If the car was locked too many tis, the visitor would lose the ga.
There was only one “hunter” projection, appearing for a short ti at tricky angles. Its location varied randomly during each round. If the car could hit the hunter projection and reach the end, the visitor would receive a mysterious gift.
In terms of gaplay, this was more of a physical challenge, as the way the car moved was controlled by the visitor stepping on high and low foot pedals inside the car.
Half an hour later, all the visitors selected for the “Hungry Wolf Legend” ga (including Yu Xi) had gathered, totaling twenty people.
As the entrance opened, lights along the passageway flickered on, and the voice of the NPC echoed from inside the venue.
This ti, the NPC’s voice wasn’t the usual childish voice, but a clear male voice, with a tone that was completely different from the one announcing the opening of the Nightti Amusent Park. It lacked the malicious excitent and was instead languid, almost as if disinterested, very nonchalant.
—I am NPC No. 18. Please enter quickly, the ga will start in ten minutes.
—By the way, the venue will close in ten minutes. Visitors who fail to enter will be considered to have lost the ga.
—Once inside, each person gets one car. Please wait…
