Chapter 61 - 'Dream Land' Amusement Park (Part 1)

Angeline waved at David who was waiting in line to get admission tickets to the Dream Land theme park. The counter is divided into two parts, the first part is for people who want to get regular tickets, and the second counter is for people who want to get VIP tickets.

Why didn't David use the connections he had to get an entrance ticket to a place that was his own company, even though indirectly? Isn't the Stockholm Corporation, which is the biggest contributor to the project to build this amusement park, a company owned by David?

Why would David be willing to wait in line like that when he had his own advantage as the owner of a company that contributed greatly to the construction of this amusement park?

The reason is very simple. Because David wants to feel spending romantic time together with Angeline as an ordinary married couple, not as a billionaire-married couple.

The difference from regular tickets and VIP tickets is about the price, facilities and also the queue for each vehicle you want to ride.

The reason is, regular ticket prices are much cheaper than VIP tickets, of course, but the benefits obtained from VIP tickets are also no joke.

In addition to getting free lunch and dinner at all the dining venues in the Dream Land theme park, they will also queue at a special place on each ride. Initially, Angeline wanted to get a regular ticket, but when she saw the queues for each ride that were so long, Angeline canceled her intention.

This time, Angeline will not argue with David about the issue of ticket prices, which she considers a waste, because the difference in queue length between visitors who have regular tickets and visitors who have VIP tickets is very different.

Just imagine, for a ride, the queue ratio of people who have regular tickets to VIP tickets is one in five, so if one person is queuing in the VIP queue, then there are about five or more people lining up in the line of people with regular tickets.

And if there were twenty people in the line with VIP tickets in their hands, then the line for people who had regular tickets would be roughly a hundred people if counted roughly.

Totally worth the price offered.

While waiting for David to stand in line to buy tickets, Angeline several times smiled back at the people who passed her and greeted her kindly, although most of them were men who were fascinated by her beauty. It is not uncommon for a man who is even carrying his girlfriend or wife to glance at Angeline. Her beauty was just so hard to resist for every pair of eyes who happened to see her.

David had returned with two golden VIP tickets in his hands and showed them to Angeline. "Wow, four hundred and fifteen bucks just for a ticket? And we can get five regular tickets for this price. The owner is really greedy."

"I'm sorry if I look so greedy in your eyes." David replied which made Angeline look away from the golden ticket in her hand towards David. Angeline smiled with a contrived guilt accent because Angeline had just realized that David's company was one of the biggest investors in the construction of the theme park project they were going to visit this time.

David stretched out his arm, "Shall we go in now?"

Without further ado, Angeline immediately hugged David's hand and walked side by side toward the entrance. They got special stamps on the back of their hands at the entrance of the amusement park after showing their tickets and finally they were able to enter the amusement park that Angeline wanted to visit so badly.

Dream Land theme park turns out to look like a real dream park. The style of the building is really made to look like a dream land, like, literally. From a distance, Angeline can see various kinds of rides in this amusement park.

The place was so wide that they had to spend twenty minutes from the entrance to reach the nearest attraction on foot. Along the way, Angeline kept her eye on every place that sold interesting items. And Angeline's eyes immediately fixed on a place where a large teddy bear was displayed at the front.

"David, I want that, let's go over there." Angeline whined like a child who was asking her parents to buy candy. If it wasn't Angeline who asked for it, people might find her disgusting for trying to look cute.

But because Angeline did it, even David, who was the cruelest and trickiest person in the Underworld, was trying to hold back his smile, because Angeline really looked really cute.

David glanced at the place where Angeline was pointing. People were trying to hit a target to get a reward for their girlfriend, but many of them cursed that they were annoyed that it was so difficult to hit the three moving targets. They have to hit a minimum of one target to get a small doll. Two targets for a medium sized doll, and three targets for the grand prize.

Angeline hugged David's hand and dragged him to the place. Finally, they went to a place where people looked frustrated after trying to play the game in that place.

"What the heck? The rifle is too weak, and the target is too far away and also what's with their movements that are too fast? Come on honey, let's get out of this stupid place."

The nagging guy leaves with his girlfriend who looks disappointed. "What do you see?" Asked the man to his girlfriend who suddenly froze when her eyes saw something very beautiful in front of her eyes.

Yes, something so beautiful was none other than David's adonis face. It was as if the woman was looking at the incarnation of a very handsome Greek God descending to earth. The man also gave David an unpleasant look and immediately dragged his girlfriend away as far as possible.

"Would you like to try it, sir?" the person who works at the place offers a wooden rifle modeled after the sniper rifle model during the second world war with rubber bullets loaded inside of it to David.

David looked around, as if no one had ever gotten a prize at all because the items still looked complete. "Give it to me."

David examined the rifle, examined it as thoroughly as possible, and after a moment, David grinned. He found something strange about the weapon, precisely in the rubber bullet launcher. The angle was deliberately changed to make it difficult for people to reach the target, even though the target was very close to where the visitor was shooting.

"For the first trial there will be no fee, the second trial will be charged a fee of five dollars. But if you have a VIP ticket, you can try up to five tries without being charged at all."

David stepped over to the X sign painted on the floor where the shooter was supposed to be. The officer working on the spot pressed a button that made the target move.

David admitted, for ordinary people, even with a rifle under normal conditions it would be difficult to shoot a target that was moving that fast. Especially with a wooden gun that had been fraudulently tampered with by the shop owner like this.

"Take it easy sir, you can take your time--"

Bang! ... Bang! ... Bang! ...

David fired the rubber bullets inside the wooden rifle without pause and took down the three targets that were the most distant and had the fastest movement of all the targets there.

Of course, as the man who had been devious to deliberately make the wooden rifle so that the visitors who tried to play the game could never hit the moving target with the right target, what David had just done left him speechless.

David returned the wooden gun filled with rubber bullets to the shopkeeper who was still dropping his chin as low as he could and still staring in disbelief at what David had just done.

David didn't care what the shop owner looked at. He took the biggest teddy bear on display in front of the shop and stared at it for a moment. Are you guys thinking what David thought when David saw that big teddy bear? Yep, the teddy bear looks a lot like the grizzly bear he faced while getting lost in the forest with Catty a while ago. "Yo, Benedict, are you tired of your life as a highly respected mobster, and decided to become a gift doll in an amusement park like this?"

Angeline did not understand what David was muttering, but the girl immediately hugged the brown teddy bear that David got for her. They also left the shopkeeper who was still gawking in disbelief at David.

How come? With the launching parts for the bullets on the wooden rifles that had been tampered with so that the visitors would not be able to shoot properly like that, David was still able to hit three of the most difficult targets there. Even David did not appear to be in a position to prepare to fire at all, all David did was press the trigger on the wooden rifle three times without pause with each shot. Just thinking about it gave the shopkeeper goosebumps.

Of course. David is the person you don't want to be deceived the most in this world, especially when it comes to firearms and anything like it.

As long as that thing functions to shoot bullets, whatever it is, even if it's just rubber bullets, then David is the one who can't be cheated the most by that.

"Do you like teddy bears that much?" David asked when he saw Angeline hugging her teddy bear while David carried her side bag. Angeline nodded enthusiastically, making the little side of David's heart jealous of the teddy bear that resembled Benedict's face.

No, he couldn't envy a doll.

Angeline pointed again somewhere. "Let's go there."

David followed Angeline's forefinger and found a place marked 'Love Boat' at the top of the entrance gate. The name alone made David understand why the queue was filled with people who came with their lover.

A vehicle for a game that presents a boat that can only be occupied by two people and they will be brought into a place called 'Love Cave'.

Romantic?

Even David wanted to throw up just reading the name of the place.

"Shall we go somewhere else?"

Angeline pursed her lips and showed her puppy-eyes, Angeline's secret weapon that could make David indulge no matter how ridiculous it was. David also exhaled and forced a smile, causing Angeline to immediately drag David's hand to join the queue in the VIP line.

But someone accidentally bumps into David's shoulder which makes David turn his head. The man did not stop to apologize and immediately left until he disappeared into the crowd of amusement park visitors.

In his mind, he did not expect, there are still people who are rude like that.

Let it be, what is clear is that now David has to accompany Angeline on a ridiculous ride called 'The Love Boat', or 'Cave Love', whatever.

Just thinking about the name of the place made David feel like throwing up ten times.
