The destination was a large lawn.

The lawn was already crowded with many tourists, all waiting.

Across from the lawn, there was a ticket office converted from a residential house.

Chen Yang stopped the car, looked around carefully, and found that this scenic spot was quite shabby, with many outdated facilities.

"Looks like it's been around for some years, not new," Chen Yang commented lightly, then found a parking spot and parked the car.

"I'll go down and check the situation first, you all stay in the car," Chen Yang turned off the engine and said to the four women.

"Okay."

The four women also knew it wasn't officially open yet, so there was no use going down together, and they agreed to stay in the car.

Let Chen Yang go check things out on his own.

Chen Yang got out of the car and immediately looked for someone to inquire about the situation.

After learning the activity would start in just a few minutes, he hurried to the ticket booth to buy tickets.

"Hello, I'd like five tickets," Chen Yang said at the old window.

Inside the window sat a rural woman in her thirties or forties, watching TV on her phone.

Hearing Chen Yang ask for five tickets, she looked slightly impatient.

But she didn't say anything and silently took out five tickets and handed them to Chen Yang. "That's five hundred in total, just scan the code on the wall."

Hearing this price, Chen Yang felt it was a bit expensive.

However, since they were out having fun, he didn't fuss about it and used his phone to transfer the money.

Then he took the tickets and left.

Going back to the car, Chen Yang handed out the tickets to Yang Ruoxi, Wang Jingman, and the others.

"This scenic spot's environment isn't great, but the price isn't cheap, a hundred per ticket," Chen Yang complained at this point.

Chen Yang thought it was expensive, but the four women didn't think so.

Hearing Chen Yang's words, they all exchanged amused glances.

"Chen Yang, did you ask when it starts? How much longer do we have to wait?" Yang Ruoxi asked.

"I asked. It should start soon, but our tickets are a bit later, so it might take a while," Chen Yang said.

"Oh, okay."

Yang Ruoxi responded and then fell silent, sitting in the car and waiting quietly.

The car remained quiet for about five or six minutes, and the scenic spot officially opened.

This scenic spot didn't require queuing; they used the order of ticket purchases to determine the sequence.

When it's your turn, a woman with a megaphone comes out to call your number.

So until their number was called, they could stay in the car.

The scenic spot's environment and fees weren't great, but this system was quite good, preventing queue-cutting and letting visitors rest comfortably.

They just needed to walk over when their number was called.

Chen Yang sat in the car, watching waves of people being called to go play.

After another ten minutes or so, their number was finally called: Chen Yang, along with the four women.

As soon as their number was called, Chen Yang immediately took Yang Ruoxi and the others out of the car.

As they were getting ready to go, a person with a staff badge suddenly approached them.

From his appearance, he seemed like a staff member from the scenic spot.

"Hey buddy, need help with the car?" the staff member approached Chen Yang and struck up a conversation.

"Huh?" Chen Yang was surprised by this and didn't understand what he meant.

"I asked if you need help with the car. When you go drifting later, you'll end up at the bottom of the mountain. I can help move your car down, so you don't have to come up again," the staff member explained seriously.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang understood what he meant.

"How much does it cost?"

This service obviously wasn't free, so Chen Yang straightforwardly asked for the price without any fuss.

"Fifty," the person responded directly seeing Chen Yang being direct.

This price, honestly, was quite high.

Just to move the car down cost fifty, it was pretty much like extortion.

However, at this point, Chen Yang didn't mind anymore for the convenience and agreed.

"Alright, how do we make the transaction?" Chen Yang asked.

"You give me the car keys, and I'll drive it down. When you finish playing and reach the bottom, there's a stall specifically for retrieving car keys. You just pay the fee there and pick it up," the staff member said.

"Okay."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang didn't overthink it and directly handed over the car keys to him.

After exchanging a few simple words, Chen Yang led the four women to queue for the activity.

The facilities in this scenic area were all very old, but there were still a lot of visitors.

Even though their number had been called, they still waited in line for more than ten minutes before it was their turn.

Fortunately, the rafting boats here seated exactly five people per group.

So Chen Yang could sit on the same boat with Yang Ruoxi and the others.

"Let's all go together," Chen Yang said to the staff member in charge.

The staff member was an older woman, who either was in a bad mood or something else was bothering her.

From the start, she had a grumpy look on her face as if someone owed her millions.

"Fine, got it."

The older woman replied impatiently to Chen Yang and then gestured for him to wait on the side.

They had to wait until the previous boat was filled with five people before they could board.

Many scenic spots arranged this way; after all, if the previous boat wasn't full, it wasn't good to launch the one behind.

So Chen Yang didn't say much and waited on the side.

After about a minute, the previous boat was finally full and floated away with the current.

"It's our turn."

Yang Ruoxi was excited seeing the previous boat go and thought it was finally their turn.

Unexpectedly, the older woman acted like she forgot about them and continued to guide the following group to board instead.

"What's going on? We were clearly ahead," Yang Ruoxi turned back in disbelief to Chen Yang.

Wang Jingman, Wu Kexin, and Li Han were also a bit annoyed.

It wasn't so much about being cut in line, but feeling the older woman's deliberate hostility.

Since they met, she had been scowling, and now she was ignoring them, which seemed somewhat intentional.

Not only did the three women sense this, but Chen Yang also felt it too.

He furrowed his brows and stepped forward. "The last boat left; shouldn't it be our turn?"

Obviously, the older woman remembered Chen Yang and the others, but she pretended not to.

Seeing Chen Yang speak up, she feigned realization. "Oh, I forgot about you guys, you'll have to wait for the next one."

The older woman dismissed Chen Yang with a casual remark and continued to assist others boarding, completely ignoring him.

Seeing this, Chen Yang was naturally furious.

Just as he was about to argue with the older woman, Wang Jingman and Wu Kexin stopped him.

"Forget it, Chen Yang, we'll just take the next one. No point arguing with her."

"Yeah, we're here to have fun. Let's not spoil it."

...

Their advice made Chen Yang decide to let it go.

They were right; there was no need to get into a dispute over this.

Chen Yang stepped back and waited with the four women for about another minute.

When the previous boat left, Chen Yang seized the moment, stepped forward, and stood directly in front of the older woman.

From her expression, it was clear she was still trying to ignore him.

But since Chen Yang was right in front of her, she had no choice but to reluctantly let them board.

"These are your suits, put them on and you can board," the older woman handed Chen Yang a suit with great reluctance.

Chen Yang ignored her expression, took the suit, and put it on.

The four women also put on their suits one after another.

"Alright, can we board now?" Yang Ruoxi put on her suit with delight, smiled, and asked the older woman.

The older woman still wore an expression as if they owed her money, reluctantly nodding her approval.

Yang Ruoxi was annoyed by the woman, but she didn't let it spoil her mood.

With a light chuckle, she boarded first.
