Chapter 256 How to get to the primate area?
During the simulation, Lin Feng pressed the red button forcefully with his fingertip.
However, there was no feedback when the button was pressed; there was no flashing light or any sound.
Lin Feng waited patiently for about three minutes, but the area around the ticket counter remained quiet, and no staff came to help, as if the button was just for decoration.
"There's definitely a trap here!" Lin Feng frowned as he performed the deduction.
However, the intuition brought by [rule affinity] clearly told him that there should be no problem with this rule.
Therefore, the problem must lie with the button.
He exited the simulation and instead bent down and crawled under the ticket counter to examine it carefully.
After a thorough search, Lin Feng finally found a pea-sized red button in the gap between the inner table leg and the tabletop.
"They really hid it well!"
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, and he activated [Infinite Deduction] again.
During the simulation, he quickly pressed a small button on the inside of the table leg—
"Beep—!"
The sharp alarm shattered the silence of the park in an instant.
Within seconds, a team of staff members in black uniforms appeared in front of the ticket window...
The simulation is complete.
Lin Feng crawled out from under the table and straightened up when he saw a father leading his child to the window to buy tickets.
He quickly took the money, stamped the ticket with a "valid for the day" stamp, and handed it over.
Rule 6 has been verified; now only rule 4 remains.
If visitors ask for directions to the primate enclosure, you must provide a verbal explanation and never point in any direction. Also, avoid making eye contact with visitors for more than two seconds at any time.
Lin Feng activated [Infinite Deduction] again, fast-forwarding the time progress bar.
About an hour later, a hunched-over man wearing a gray robe appeared at the window.
After buying the ticket, he suddenly looked up and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Excuse me, how do I get to the primate enclosure?"
Lin Feng jumped in surprise—They're here!
He quickly shifted his gaze to the other person's mouth to avoid eye contact, and replied in a calm tone:
"The primate enclosure is on the west side. After entering the park, turn left, pass the bird area, cross the stone bridge, and walk straight for about 200 meters. You will see it then."
The man frowned, his tone suddenly turning cold: "That's it? How am I supposed to find it with such vague wording?!"
He took a step closer, a sense of oppression washing over him through the glass window. "Give me specific directions!"
Lin Feng's heart tightened. Remembering the rules, he dared not point, and could only repeat, "Follow the route I told you. There are signs along the way, you won't go wrong."
"Useless! You can't even point out a direction, what use are you!" The man was furious and suddenly punched the glass.
In the instant the glass trembled, the man's mouth suddenly opened, and a long, dark red, slippery tongue, like a snake, darted out, passed through the glass window, and instantly wrapped around Lin Feng's neck...
Lin Feng abruptly opened his eyes from the simulation, his chest heaving rapidly.
He quickly steadied his breathing, his mind racing.
His intuition, aided by his affinity for rules, told him that the rule itself was correct—no pointing, and no eye contact for more than two seconds.
But... the consequences of doing this are already clear—he would be strangled to death on the spot by that tourist's tongue.
It seems that some additional conditions need to be added in addition to following the rules.
Lin Feng's first thought was bribery; after all, money makes the world go round!
[Infinite Deduction] is activated again.
After Lin Feng verbally explained the location of the primate enclosure using the same script as before, the gray-robed man's tone suddenly turned cold and impatient, just like last time.
"How am I supposed to find it if you're being so vague?!"
He lunged forward, almost pressing his ashen face against the frosted glass, his voice filled with hostility:
"Give me specific directions—quickly!"
Lin Feng immediately and secretly pulled out a stack of brand-new ghost coins from his spatial storage and handed them out the window:
"Brother, I'm new here, and I really don't know the layout of the park."
"Why don't you go into the park first and ask the staff there? Here's a small token of my appreciation; please take it and buy a bottle of water."
The man stared at the stack of strange coins for a moment, then his anger surged instantly: "You dare to bribe me?!"
Before he could finish speaking, he opened his mouth again, his long tongue whipping out like a whip, instantly wrapping tightly around Lin Feng's neck—
The simulation came to an abrupt end.
Lin Feng opened his eyes and cursed inwardly:
This guy is truly impervious to reason; he's clearly just deliberately picking a fight!
As Lin Feng was complaining, he suddenly saw through the window that the gray-robed man from the simulation was walking towards his ticket booth.
He suddenly felt a jolt.
No, according to the timeline in the simulation, this guy should not appear until an hour later...
Or are these tourists randomly generated and there is no fixed order at all?
Lin Feng didn't have time to think it through and immediately seized the opportunity to dive back into the simulation space.
This is his last chance.
If we still can't find a solution this time, we'll have to resort to the Silent Grip.
In the simulation space, his brain was working at lightning speed.
What is the purpose of this tourist's visit to the primate enclosure?
Lin Feng shook his head.
It cannot be determined, but it must be related to "ape".
猿！
Lin Feng's mind flashed instantly to the ape-shaped pattern in the locker and the black ape pattern mentioned in Dormitory Rule 6.
A thought suddenly popped into my head.
He immediately picked up a pen and, referring to the ape pattern in the locker in his memory, quickly drew a twisted black ape totem on his left wrist, trying to reproduce the lines and shape as accurately as possible.
Almost simultaneously, shadows had already fallen over the window.
The man in the gray robe stood outside, his voice low and menacing: "Buy tickets."
Lin Feng took the 100 yuan, quickly issued a ticket, stamped it, and handed it over.
The man took the ticket and asked, "How do I get to the primate enclosure?"
Lin Feng remained calm. He slowly raised his left wrist, presenting the drawn ape totem to the man, and lowered his voice, subtly implying that he was one of their own:
"Brother, the primate area is on the west side. After you enter the park, turn left past the bird area, cross the stone bridge, and walk straight for about 200 meters. You will arrive there."
The man's gaze fell on the totem, and his brow twitched almost imperceptibly.
Although still somewhat dissatisfied, he didn't make things difficult for her anymore, simply saying, "I understand."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the park gate.
"Hey, buy tickets!"
A voice suddenly came from the void above.
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, returning from the simulation space to the real world.
The gray-robed man was already standing at the ticket window, handing over one hundred ghost coins...
Damn, they came so fast!
The design hasn't been drawn yet!
Lin Feng took the strange coin, pulled out a red ticket, and picked up the "Valid for Today" stamp to stamp it—
Just then, he strategically jerked his hand, and Zhang rolled to the ground with a thud.
"Sorry, sorry!" Lin Feng quickly said to the gray-robed man.
He held a pen in one hand and bent down to pick up the stamp.
Taking advantage of the moment when his body was partially obscured, he quickly sketched an ape pattern on his left wrist.
Fortunately, I had already drawn it once in the simulation, so I was familiar with the movements and completed it in a few seconds.
Lin Feng picked up the stamp, straightened up, steadily stamped the ticket, and handed it out.
The man took the ticket and, as expected, asked, "How do I get to the primate enclosure?"
Lin Feng steadied himself and, following the instructions in the simulation, slowly raised his left wrist to show the other party the temporary totem before verbally describing the route.
The man stared at the totem for a few seconds, gave a faint "hmm," and turned to walk towards the park gate.
Only after his figure completely disappeared did Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief, his forehead already covered in cold sweat...
