Although Diona originally wanted to go to a bar or something, she eventually "reluctantly" agreed to Xavier's suggestion to go to the amusement park together.
With so many people going, it was, of course, the familiar bus.
Since many people were riding a bus for the first time, they found the experience quite novel.
"I can't believe the vehicles on Blue Star are so big. It would be great if we could ride one in Mondstadt too."
Noelle stroked the seat cushion, probably finding it too convenient.
When she usually delivered things, she either walked or had to ride a very primitive horse-drawn carriage.
"Hmm~ It seems I need to buy two more, otherwise, they might not be enough later."
Xavier stroked his chin, thinking it was necessary to buy two more.
This bus could seat a total of 50 people, and more than half of it was already filled.
If everyone were invited over later, one vehicle would definitely not be enough.
Of course, some people did not come every day.
For example, Keqing and Ganyu had not appeared for some time.
They needed to be busy with their careers in Liyue, so it was naturally impossible for them to just come over.
"An amusement park, it sounds like a place for children. I'm not interested at all."
When Kaveh learned they were going to an amusement park, he expressed disdain, saying he had lost interest in such places.
He was an adult now, not a child.
"Is that so? If you really don't want to go, you can actually stay home and guard the door."
A voice that shouldn't have been there startled Kaveh.
He quickly turned his head and asked in surprise, "Alhaitham, why are you here?"
"I've been here for a while; you just didn't notice. Can you blame me for that?" Alhaitham closed his book.
He had indeed arrived only two minutes before Xavier was about to leave, so it was normal for Kaveh not to notice.
The bus driver was clearly an experienced hand; even with so many people making noise on the bus, he still drove steadily forward.
After about half an hour, they finally arrived at Jiangcheng's largest amusement park.
"What the heck? I thought it would be huge! Turns out it's only this small!" Looking at the not-so-large gate, Itto was very disappointed.
"No, it's not. It only looks that way. It's actually very vast inside."
Today, Venti was wearing casual clothes that were loose yet had a sporty feel.
He held a phone in his hand and had a lollipop in his mouth, seemingly having fully integrated into this society.
Xavier also said with a look of disdain, "Itto, you're just a country bumpkin! This is the largest amusement park in Jiangcheng!"
He considered himself a respectable person; how could he take everyone to such a small, unpresentable place?
It would be too boring if it ended after just two rides.
"Damn it, Xavier, are you looking down on me? I, the Great, have been to many places and seen everything!"
Even though Itto knew he was making a fool of himself, he still tried to put on a brave front.
Xavier didn't argue and led them into the amusement park one by one.
The ticket-checking young lady was already dumbfounded.
She almost thought there was some event today, as so many cosplayers had come.
"Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's really big inside!"
As an Outrider, Amber's occupational habit kicked in.
As soon as she entered, she observed her surroundings and looked around, realizing that it was indeed much larger inside than it appeared from the outside.
"We probably can't finish exploring this even if we spend a whole day, can we?"
Eula also observed her surroundings and found that there were many amusement rides, and further away, there were many large-scale amusement facilities.
Looking at it, it was already as big as a small town.
"Yay, Klee wants to play!"
As the youngest child among them, Klee was naturally the happiest one.
Seeing so many interesting amusement facilities, she could no longer contain herself.
Fortunately, Yoimiya pulled her back.
"Klee, you must be careful and don't get lost, otherwise, in such a big place, we won't be able to find you."
"Mmm~ Can Big Sister Yoimiya play on the merry-go-round with me~"
Klee pointed into the distance, surprisingly knowing what a merry-go-round was.
Hmm! Venti must have told her!
"Tch, a merry-go-round sounds so childish." Kaveh seemed to despise the merry-go-round ride.
Cyno, however, said with interest, "This ride seems to have a gentle pace; it must be great for relaxing."
After speaking, Cyno even went along with Yoimiya and Klee.
"Then I want to go too!"
"And me!"
Of course, the two troublemakers, Hu Tao and Furina, couldn't be left out.
Once on the merry-go-round, the two gradually discovered the fun of the ride.
Although the pace was gentle, sitting on it indeed had a unique charm.
However, Cyno, who had initially held some expectations, found that the ride seemed a bit different from what he had imagined.
It was just spinning in circles, and the up-and-down movement of the wooden horses was even a bit monotonous.
Indeed, some things look good but don't offer as good an actual experience.
Moreover, he remained expressionless throughout, making it impossible to tell if he liked it or not.
After the few of them got off the merry-go-round, they found that many people had already left.
Hu Tao wondered, "Xavier, where are Zhongli, the Vanquisher of Evil, and the others?"
She looked around, and there was not a single person in sight nearby.
Xavier shrugged, saying, "There are too many people. I told them to look around for rides they want to try and to gather back here in half an hour."
Since it was an all-access pass, they could play whatever they wanted.
And there were indeed quite a lot of people; if they all waited in line together, it would waste too much time.
Zhongli and Xiao walked through the amusement park as if they had simply changed places for a stroll.
Zhongli suddenly asked out of the blue, "How does it feel?"
"Is Rex Lapis asking about this amusement park?" Xiao paused slightly.
Zhongli nodded.
"This place seems to be full of worldly desires; I am not accustomed to such places. But I must say, the Blue Star people's minds are indeed much richer to be able to build such a place."
"That is natural. However, I wonder if there's any ride you'd like to experience. Perhaps you could personally try it."
Zhongli probably hoped his son could integrate into Blue Star's life, so he said that.
"This..."
Xiao hesitated; he didn't particularly like these rides.
However, if he had to experience one, he could only choose one among them that he found somewhat acceptable.
After looking around, Xiao's gaze fell on a ride not far away.
