Chapter 55: Chapter 46: Happy Paradise
Chapter 55 -46: Happy Paradise
[Reagan’s Mint Chocolate: A bestselling product from Reagan Food Processing Factory, silky smooth and sweet, gives a refreshing sensation as if you were on the peak of a Snow Mountain after eating – in reality, you’ll indeed be teleported to an unknown Snow Mountain. If you don’t have a teleportation device, you might want to go ahead and write your will.]
[Reagan’s Spicy Strips: Its unique spicy flavor is popular worldwide but failed spectacularly in the East Continent due to a legendary local brand. In short, this pack of spicy strips is also an abnormal item. After eating it, you’ll feel immense heat spreading through your body as if you’ve swallowed a ball of fire, then you’ll be teleported to the crater of an unknown Volcano.]
[Reagan’s Soft Candy – Strawberry Flavor: After eating, you’ll turn into a big piece of soft candy. Guess what the main ingredient for this candy is?]
[Reagan’s Animal Cookies: Available in 12 animal shapes, after eating, you’ll transform into the animal corresponding to the shape of the cookie.]
Looking at the notes popping out from the snacks, Zhou Yuan kept a straight face, but inside she was ecstatic. These were all amazing items!
“Free?” Zhou Yuan maintained a wary expression toward the stranger.
“Absolutely free.”
“Ha, I’ve seen this trick before. Next, you’re going to ask me to scan a QR code to download an app for support, right?” Zhou Yuan sneered.
“???”
Reagan’s eyes flashed with confusion, having no idea what Zhou Yuan was talking about.
“You might have misunderstood something.”
He said as he placed the briefcase on the seat and took out a business card from his pocket with another hand. “I am the director of Reagan Food Processing Factory. When I travel, I also conduct some market research. These snacks are free samples for tasting.”
Zhou Yuan took the business card and glanced at it. “Reagan Food? Never heard of it, but you’re sure these snacks are really free?”
“Absolutely free,” Reagan nodded.
“Alright then.”
Zhou Yuan took a few packs of snacks from his hand, checked each one, then asked, “Got more? This little bit isn’t enough for anyone. Don’t you think you should let people try all your products when doing market research?”
“I left in a hurry this time, didn’t bring much… And little brother, you can’t just take these without eating.”
“I just had a meal, not hungry now, I’ll eat when I’m hungry.”
Reagan: “…”
Zhou Yuan glanced at the bulging briefcase on the seat next to him and asked, “You really don’t have any more?”
[This is an abnormal item with an unfathomable storage space inside. It’s Reagan’s private mini treasure chest.]
Reagan patted the bag. “This is my personal storage device, never store snacks in it. The factory has been doing well recently, made me some money, so I’m planning to go to Happy Paradise to have a good time, didn’t plan on market research, hence didn’t bring much.”
He paused, smiling slightly. “If you really want to try our snacks, you can come directly to the factory for a visit. You can try all our products for free then.”
“Maybe sometime later,” Zhou Yuan looked forward to how much profit the “Reagan Food Processing Factory” instance could bring her.
“Then I won’t disturb you any further.” Reagan stood with the briefcase and found a seat nearby with nobody around to sit down.
Zhou Yuan took the snacks into her backpack and opened the system to check.
[Reagan’s Mint Chocolate: Rare. Price: 1000 Star Coins.]
[Reagan’s Spicy Strips: Rare. Price: 1000 Star Coins.]
[Regan’s Soft Candy – Strawberry Flavor: Excellent. Price: 700 Star Coins.]
[Reagan’s Animal Cookies: Excellent. Price: 700 Star Coins.]
Selling all four packs could net her 3400 Star Coins. Adding up the accumulated 7500 Star Coins, the total savings would reach 10900 Star Coins, breaking the ten thousand mark.
But Zhou Yuan didn’t plan to sell these four packs of snacks, as their effects were all astonishing. If used properly, they could play a crucial role.
The bus re-entered the Spirit World, and after driving for over forty minutes, it surprisingly stopped in the Spirit World.
Zhou Yuan looked outside in surprise, spotting a bus stop sign beside the bus. Bus 106 and the sign were floating in midair, surrounded by abstract objects and light shadows defying physical laws.
There were glowing jellyfish, immense phantom dragons soaring with wings, vast oceans bubbling with countless giant whales swimming, disordered city buildings…
The Spirit World was a highly mysterious space. Everything here was based on the real world but transcended it. Furthermore, the Spirit World even harbored abnormal creatures. Some deities and higher beings preferred to reside in the Spirit World rather than the material world.
While Zhou Yuan was admiring the scene outside, new passengers boarded the bus.
The first to board was a female elf exuding a fresh natural fragrance, dressed in a forest green gown, with golden hair woven with many flowers and leaves.
Next was a woman in a luxurious black dress, with jet-black hair, eyes dark as night, a smile playing on her lips, radiating relaxation and joy.
Lastly, a woman radiating wildness boarded, with flaxen hair braided into coarse plaits, hanging over her strong shoulders. Her attire was simple and cool, wearing a leather skirt and boots, with her upper body only wrapped in animal hide around her chest, with colorful paint adorning her face and body, resembling a warrior from ancient legends.

To Zhou Yuan’s surprise, the Eyes of Identification failed, providing no information.
“Must be a significant level gap… Being able to traverse the Spirit World freely, they must be at least mid-tier extraordinary beings, and they look like they’re casually having a friend trip. They might even be higher-tier…’
“Could they also be going to ‘Happy Paradise’?”
After boarding the bus, the three mysterious women headed straight to the back. Zhou Yuan wisely moved from the last row to the front.
After another two minutes, just as the bus was about to close its doors, a figure rushed in, crashing into the protective barrier of the driver’s cabin, panting heavily.
He was dressed like an adventurer, in an old jacket, wearing a cowboy hat, looking much like Indiana Jones from “Fortune Hunters.”
“Yo, isn’t this Mr Wang?”
The Playboy Angel suddenly spoke. “What brings you to the Spirit World?”
Mr. Wang?
Zhou Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be the forum poster?
Bam!
Then there was a loud bang outside the bus, as if something huge crashed against the door. But the bus didn’t shake at all.
Zhou Yuan glanced outside, breath catching.
A tentacle, enormous and covered with countless sharp mouthparts, swayed outside the bus. Tracing the tentacle, far in the distance, an abyss of deep darkness had appeared.
It was as if the Spirit World had split open, revealing a path to the abyss. Distorted forms emerged faintly within the darkness, casting malicious glances.
[???!!!!*&*@##!%&*(&%…%—-@@)!!!!!!!]
The Eyes of Identification scrambled, spitting out gibberish as if crashing.
Boom! Zhou Yuan felt her mind was about to explode. With heightened perception, she could vividly feel the immense malice radiating from the abyss.
Chaos, despair, death, coldness, madness, anger…
Just a glance threw her mind into disarray.
Ah… Ah… What is that…
“Drive!” Mr Wang shouted.
The driver floored the gas pedal, and Bus 106 shot off, weaving in and out of the Spirit World and reality.
After a long while, the view outside stabilized back to the Spirit World.
“Damn, how did you provoke such a high-tier entity?” The Playboy Angel couldn’t help but curse, sweating profusely after feeling the threat of death.
“So stingy, I just stole an egg,” Mr Wang panted, patting his satchel. This journey had been perilous, luckily he caught the bus in time.
“Mr Wang, if you continue like this, I might have to blacklist you,” the driver suddenly spoke, wiping a layer of cold sweat from his forehead.
Although the bus endured the attack, it was only because the entity hadn’t fully descended into the Spirit World. If it had, everyone on the bus would have been in serious danger.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be more careful next time.”
“Hey, that guy looks like he’s in trouble,” the Goat Demon noticed Zhou Yuan, slumped in the seat, face pale.
“Help… me…” Zhou Yuan convulsed, reaching out to Mr Wang for help.
“Still conscious? Impressive,” Mr Wang took out a small bottle of smelling salts from his bag, placing it under Zhou Yuan’s nose.
Seconds later, Zhou Yuan’s scattered mind slowly gathered, color returning to her face.
“Boy, remember this: never rely on your high perception to look around recklessly. Some higher-tier entities can make you go mad just from a glance.”
Mr Wang warned sternly, then used the smelling salts to wake up the Submersible Fishmen and Goblins – Reagan and the three ladies in the back row seemed unaffected.
“Got it…” Zhou Yuan rubbed her temples. Miraculously, the smelling salts instantly healed her damaged psyche.
As expected from mystical smelling salts.
“I’m exhausted, I’m going to sleep… By the way, what’s the next stop?” Mr Wang asked the Playboy Angel and Goat Demon.
“Happy Paradise.”
“Oh… Then let’s go relax.”
·
Very soon, Bus 106 arrived at the next stop, an enormous, lavish building appeared. It was still in the Spirit World.
However, this time the bus did not park near a bus stop but directly drove into the building’s parking lot.
The lot was filled with various vehicles, seahorses, pumpkin carriages, Christmas sleighs, Hellfire motorcycles…
Zhou Yuan was stunned, so she asked the driver: “Sir, are you parking here?”
“We’ve reached Happy Paradise, how could we not have some fun inside?”
The driver opened the door. Passengers disembarked one by one, and he stepped out of the driver’s cabin. “We’ll depart once I’ve had my fill of fun.”
Oh, come on… Zhou Yuan was baffled. How could he be slacking off now?
She had no choice but to get off. The bus wouldn’t run without the driver, so standing around was pointless. She might as well explore “Happy Paradise” and uncover its secrets.
Following the other passengers, Zhou Yuan soon arrived at a grand palace-like entrance, where several elegantly crafted automaton dolls greeted the guests.
[ Created by a certain master alchemist, these high-grade alchemical constructs possess consciousness. However, don’t try to take them home as wives; they only obey the master of “Happy Paradise.”
And yes, I know what you’re wondering. My answer is – realistic.]
When it was Zhou Yuan’s turn, a smiling automaton doll greeted her:
“Welcome to Happy Paradise, sir. I noticed it’s your first visit. Would you like me to be your guide?”
Such thoughtful service? Zhou Yuan pondered. “Is there a fee?”
“Completely free.”
“Great, lead the way then.”
