Chapter 326: South Park 1

“Feng Bujue, Level 29

“Please select the game mode that your team wants to join .

“You have selected the Solo Survival Mode (Nightmare) . Please confirm .

“Confirming .

“Adjusting nervous connectivity, generating the scenario…

“Please wait a moment . Downloading . “

“Welcome to Thriller Paradise . ” This time, the greeting sounded very familiar, like the deep and dark male voice that often announced trailers in American flicks .

“Download complete . You are currently playing Solo Survival Mode (Nightmare) . A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance to trigger a side or hidden mission and special world-building .

“Reward for clearing the scenario: During rating review, additional eighty percent of EXP on top of basic EXP .

“Playing the scenario introduction soon . The game will start right after . “

“Oh, this reward is quite nice,” Feng Bujue said . “Even though the time needed for solo mode is quite short, this is nightmare mode, and the reward during rating review wouldn’t be so bad . Eighty percent additional EXP is basically double EXP . “

Actually, that was nothing to get excited about . For those whales who used double EXP cards, every scenario had one hundred percent bonus EXP during rating review…

Then, the introductory cinematic began . The scene that appeared before Feng Bujue was a paper-made animation . It looked very juvenile and had a very ‘cartoonish’ style, but when Feng Bujue saw this scene, his expression shifted . He gasped, “No way…”

He saw a blue sky, white clouds, and the bright sun . There was an inky green mountain range in the distance with snow caps . The camera panned down, and there were many rectangular houses with various colors and a straight gray road cut before the row of houses .

“This is a small town in Colorado, USA . “

“No, no, no, no, no…” Feng Bujue repeated to himself like self-hypnosis . “Impossible… this is impossible!”

“This is a quiet, small, useless, backward, countryside, unknown, juvenile, redneck, rightwing, old-fashioned, inbred, out of time, poor, woeful, pitiful, out of sight… small mountain town .

“This is…”

At this point of the cinematic, on a stretch of the snowy landscape, a wooden stake stood with a plaque that said, “South Park . “

“South Park . “

“Ah!” Feng Bujue screamed . One second later, he screamed again . “Ah!”

Honestly, he did not know why he was acting that way .

“According to the Department of Homeland Security’s accurate data, the whole world is going through an epidemic of serious economic decline and biological terror . And the reason is… the Peruvian Flute Band .

“They are spread all over the world, playing Peruvian music in places where visitors and shoppers are gathered . In certain areas, every square kilometer, it’s suspected there are sixty-five Peruvian Flute Bands .

“But all of that will be stopped this afternoon…”

Then, the scenario officially started . The current Feng Bujue had assimilated into the style of this scenario and had a paper-cut animation . He stood at snow mountain near to South Park . A thick layer of snow was underneath his feet, and there were sparse conifers around him . The sun was bright above him, and he could see far into the horizon . From his standpoint, he could look down into the small town at the foot of the mountain, and it did not look that special from there .

The strange thing was, even though he was surrounded by snow, he did not feel cold . If anything, the temperature around him felt to be around twenty degrees, and the humidity was just right . It was comfortable .

“This is going to be the end of me…” Feng Bujue was covered in cold sweat . He had never been this nervous in any of the previous scenarios . “Peruvian Flute Band… Peruvian Flute Band…”

He scanned through the memories he had of the animation South Park in his mind . “Got it! Episode ten and eleven of the twelfth season, Pandemic . “

Feng Bujue had memorized the general plot, and in that instant, the system notification came .

“Main quest triggered . Survive the attack of Jimbo and Ned . “

“Jimbo and Ned…” Feng Bujue’s face was twitching as he looked around in alarm . “Those two idiots wouldn’t really be hunting, would they?”

Just as he said that, he heard… a loud yell coming from afar . “It’s coming after us!”

Following the yell came the sound of rattling machine guns . Without even thinking, Feng Bujue knew that the bullets were coming for him . Hugging his head, he ran off in the other direction . Actually, his reaction was too slow . Running after hearing the bullets meant that he would not outrun the bullets . Thankfully, Feng Bujue had Artemis’ Embrace and Echo Armor, two layers of defense . Therefore, even though he was shot more than ten times in under two seconds, his Life Points did not drop .

Feng Bujue took five seconds to hide behind a big boulder and hid in the enemies’ blind spot . But he had just taken a breath and heard Jimbo say from far away, “Ned! It’s gone hiding behind the rock . Quick, toss the grenade!”

Ned’s reply was robotic on account of his throat cancer due to smoking . He had also lost his right arm in the army, so he needed to use an audio box to hold his throat when speaking . He used his magnetic electronically-manipulated voice and always flat tone to reply, “Understood . “

Feng Bujue had to leave and shouted as he ran, “I am human! Human!”

But his voice was swallowed up by the rattling guns and the explosion .

“This is not going to end well for me if I don’t figure something out . ” Feng Bujue soon realized how dangerous his situation was . He only had ninety percent of his Life Points because he had equipped Embedded Alchemical Enhancement Device . Even with powerful armor, being repeatedly shot at by guns, it was impossible to stay completely unscathed . Furthermore, Jimbo and Ned’s equipment was military grade . Who knew what weapon they would pull out next?

Feng Bujue did not want to tussle with them any longer . Instead of trying to prove to them that he was human, he decided to race all the way to the city . That way, the two ‘hunting aficionados’ would stop acting crazily… hopefully .

Feng Bujue activated his Body Enhancement Spell . He morphed into a shadow, evaded the bullets, and raced down the mountain . At the start of this scenario, Feng Bujue was not even given the chance to use his summoning skill, and he had already been forced to flee .

He knew full well that in the world of South Park, there was not one place or character that could offer him security . There was not one character’s intelligence, logic, or morality that could be trusted .

This place looked so peaceful on the surface, but for an outsider like him, this place was more dangerous than hell .
