Protagonist:
Lu Feng
The staff member quickly tied the safety rope around Lu Feng, saw his nervousness, and smiled to comfort him: "Little brother, don't be nervous, our safety measures here are perfect, absolutely nothing will happen. That couple behind you are even jumping together!"
Saying this, the staff member pointed to Sun Qiming and Xu Yating not far behind Lu Feng.
Lu Feng couldn't help but turn back to look; Sun Qiming was holding his mobile phone recording him.
This kid, he sure knows how to have fun?
Jumping together?
Looks like the rope is indeed quite sturdy.
Soon, the safety rope on Lu Feng was tied. He reached out and pulled hard, finding it quite sturdy, and his hanging heart finally settled a bit.
"Little brother, want to shout a couple of lines? Shouting out will make you less nervous."
The staff member checked the rope on Lu Feng, patted his shoulder, and asked.
Indeed, when a person is nervous at a height, shouting one or two times can relieve some of the psychological tension.
But Lu Feng had no mind for this; he just wanted to finish quickly.
Earlier in the group chat, quite a few people said they would come watch him bungee jump. Taking advantage of the fact that now only Sun Qiming and Xu Yating were two acquaintances, he just wanted a quick finish right now.
"No, let's just do it!"
Lu Feng took a deep breath, trying his best to keep his voice steady.
The staff member nodded, didn't force him, picked up the rope, and guided Lu Feng toward the jump platform.
Under the staff member's guidance, Lu Feng gritted his teeth, his brain forcibly commanding his legs, moving step by step to the edge of the jump platform.
The wind on the high platform was very strong, blowing him so he swayed as if about to fall. He hurriedly grabbed the railing beside him to steady himself, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.
Don't look down, don't look down...
Lu Feng kept silently reciting in his heart, but when he reached the edge of the jump platform, he still couldn't help but glance down.
The lake water below the jump platform shone with dazzling light; the tourists on the shore were as small as ants.
He regretted it instantly. This scene made him feel dizzy, and his legs began to go soft, not listening to his commands.
"Little brother, ready? I'll count to three in a moment, you just lean forward."
The staff member's voice sounded from behind him.
Lu Feng tightly closed his eyes, thinking about this week's mission reward in his mind.
To make his flowing hair immortal, go for it!
"I... am ready."
Lu Feng gritted his teeth, slowly released his hand holding the railing, and opened his arms.
"OK, then I'll count: three, two, one!"
Just as the staff member's voice fell, Lu Feng tightly closed his eyes, and his body fell forward into the void.
The next second, his body was wrapped in a strong sense of weightlessness, falling toward the lake surface like a kite with a broken string.
The wind whistled in his ears, making him almost unable to hear his own screams.
Lu Feng tightly closed his eyes, feeling his five viscera and six bowels had turned upside down.
"Bang—"
When Lu Feng's body was still twenty meters from the lake surface, the safety rope had already stretched to its longest, and his falling body slowly stopped.
Before he could recover, his body was suddenly yanked upward by the rope.
The rope made Lu Feng bounce violently several times in midair. He felt like a toy being thrown up, and every rise and fall brought a violent dizziness.
His stomach began to churn at this time, and Lu Feng hurriedly covered his mouth tightly with his hand.
He really didn't want to throw up in midair; that would be too embarrassing.
After a spell of dizziness, the amplitude of the rope's bouncing gradually decreased. Lu Feng's muscles were still tense, his body hanging in midair, swaying slightly.
The weightlessness on his body finally faded, and Lu Feng dared to open his eyes a crack.
The bright lake surface was just not far below his feet. The staff members on standby below were hurrying toward him.
Cheers and shouts of approval from other tourists sounded above his head, and faintly he could still hear Sun Qiming shouting loudly: "Boss Lu is awesome! Well done!"
Lu Feng's tense nerves relaxed. Hanging on the rope, he panted heavily, with a sense of surreal relief after surviving a disaster.
The small boat soon rowed to directly below him. Lu Feng slowly landed in the small boat, and the staff member helped him untie the rope on his body.
Sitting in the small boat, he still hadn't recovered.
Until the small boat reached the shore and his feet stepped on the grass by the shore did Lu Feng belatedly realize that he had actually jumped down.
He felt his steps were still a bit unsteady. He hurriedly reached out to hold the tree by the shore, standing for a good while before adapting.
At this moment, the system's Ti Wake suddenly came from the depths of his mind.
【Congratulations Host on completing Century Amusement Park Sign-in, unlocking Recipe: Full-Level Braised Pork Technique!】
Finally over!
Lu Feng leaned against the tree trunk and slowly sat on the grass, his back soaked with cold sweat.
This was the first recipe unlocked this week. Even bungee jumping was arranged. Who knew what more outrageous requirements the unlocking of the next few recipes would be.
Lu Feng was unwilling, and didn't dare, to think about it.
He shook his head, pressing the worry in his heart back down again.
Take it one step at a time!
The system might be a scam, but it probably doesn't actually want his life.
The discomfort in his body hadn't completely faded, so Lu Feng simply sat down on a bench by the shore to rest.
His nerves, taut just moments ago, now completely relaxed; since he'd already suffered, he might as well stay here and watch the show.
On the Bungee Jumping Platform, Sun Qiming and Xu Yating already had their safety ropes secured.
Century Happy Valley's high-altitude bungee jumping allows two people to jump together, perfect for a couple like them.
Xu Yating's face was full of tension, her hands clutching Sun Qiming's arm so tightly that even Sun Qiming couldn't help but grimace in pain.
"Come on, come on! A couple's tandem jump is so romantic!"
Xu Qiming endured the pain in his arm, forced a smile onto his face, and pushed Xu Yating toward the edge of the platform.
Xu Yating's face was written all over with reluctance; her white dress clung tightly to her legs in the wind.
To prevent exposure, the staff thoughtfully wrapped tape around her hem several times.
She clung tightly to Sun Qiming's arm, her voice sounding somewhat trembling: "Slow down! I'm not ready yet!"
Sun Qiming held Xu Yating's waist, saying with a completely unconcerned expression: "It's fine, I'm here! Look, Boss Lu jumped down just now and was fine too, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
The two were guided by staff to slowly walk toward the platform edge; just as they stepped up, Xu Yating couldn't help glancing down, instantly turning pale with fright and letting out a scream.
"Don't look down!"
Sun Qiming shouted a rebuke, but he himself also couldn't help stealing a glance downward.
Just that one glance, and the excitement on his face vanished completely, the smile on his face instantly freezing stiff.
Sun Qiming swallowed hard, his right hand swiftly grabbing the iron railing beside him.
He tugged hard at the carabiner of his safety rope with his hand, giving a dry laugh to the staff member beside him: "This rope of yours... sturdy, right? How about we two jump one by one instead?"
"Rest assured, young man, our rope is extremely sturdy, not to mention you two, even adding another person wouldn't snap it!" The staff member laughed, patting his shoulder and soothing him.
"I'm a bit scared... how about we don't jump, let's go ride the Ferris Wheel instead?"
Xu Yating shrank into Sun Qiming's embrace, her shoulders trembling slightly, her face full of refusal, her voice carrying a hint of a sob.
Sun Qiming really wanted to agree, but thinking of Lu Feng waiting down below right now, he forced himself to calm down: "We've already come this far, plus Boss Lu is watching from below, we've got to show some backbone!"
The staff member stepped forward, asking with a smile: "Are you two ready? If so, I'll start the countdown."
"No! I'm not ready yet!"
Xu Yating looked at the staff member with some alarm, her hands tightly gripping Sun Qiming's arm.
Sun Qiming's palms were sweating with tension at this moment, his grip on the railing even slipping a bit; he wanted to shift to a different grip, but his hand grasped empty air, and his body involuntarily tilted outward.
Before Xu Yating could react, her body was pulled toppling down by Sun Qiming.
"Ah— Sun Qiming you damn—"
Xu Yating's scream tore through the sky above the amusement park; even Lu Feng sitting on the shore heard it clearly.
