A patch of wasteland at Starlight Amusement Park was quickly cleared by workers in uniform.

  Then, various large pieces of equipment arrived.

  Holes were dug for the foundations.

  Prefabricated concrete panels were assembled.

  The workers were in full swing, and in less than half a day, the basic structure of a square building was already taking shape.

  Tourists occasionally passed by, eagerly asking Jake, who was acting as the supervisor, what new attraction was being built.

  "From Starlight Amusement Park, must be good."

  This has become the consensus of every veteran tourist.

  Although some of the attractions are a bit too inhumane, it cannot be denied that the stuff is indeed top-notch.

  It's like a cross-dressing internet celebrity; the hardware may not match you, but you can't deny that they're top-tier.

  "Oh, we're going to build a Tabletop Game Mania. After it's built, you can come here to play games like Werewolf, murder mystery game, Game King..."

  Before Jake could finish speaking, the tourists left listlessly.

  Turns out it's just a Tabletop Game Mania.

  Monopoly, Game King – these were games they played as kids. They’re long past the age where a few cards and a piece of paper could entertain them for a whole day.

  Even if they did play, it would be with their younger sisters.

  That's not really about the game.

  The construction of the Tabletop Game Mania will take about three days.

  During these three days, the virtual reality arcade unleashed its power once again.

  The unlocking of the "Final Stand" not only brought a carnival for a bunch of gaming enthusiasts, but many players who were tired of playing racing games also returned after hearing the news.

  The long line in front of the virtual reality arcade could easily reach over a thousand people every day.

  On average, each player could only get on machine once a day.

  To get on machine more often, players were going to extremes, using every method not explicitly prohibited in the park rules.

  Honest players lined up overnight, trying to be among the first to get in. If they died early enough, they could re-queue and possibly catch another ride.

  Wealthy players hired Ticket Scalpers to help them line up.

  However, as the Ticket Scalpers started taking breaks one by one, the price for their services skyrocketed.

  The remaining people, who had neither money nor time, used all sorts of tricks, doing whatever was the most outrageous.

  Jake, guarding the virtual reality arcade these days, had his eyes opened.

  During this time, the game progress inside the virtual reality arcade was also constantly being advanced.

  Players first developed a relatively stable set of equipment. The primary weapon of choice was laser weapons, which allowed for ranged attacks, keeping the user out of harm’s way.

  Lightsabers looked cool and allowed you to show off.

  But clearly, most people didn't have the ability to use them effectively. They usually ended up getting killed in a second, giving away a free kill at the start.

  Then, there's the exoskeletons, which enhance all physical attributes in every way, making them essential equipment for home, travel, killing, and arson.

  Finally, there's the force field shield.

  The force field shield looks like a watch worn on the wrist. When danger is encountered, the immense energy contained within the watch instantly generates a force field that can block damage within a certain range.

  Mastering these three items makes it possible to go one-on-one with giant ants.

  Jake was watching the players' performance, feeling happy in his heart.

  After all, if the players could clear the "Final Stand", it would benefit him as well, and he could get a new game for free!

  Time flew by, and the construction site of the Tabletop Game Mania was also undergoing rapid changes. A rectangular building rose from the ground, and high-tech equipment was installed inside.

  In front of the Tabletop Game Mania, Liam was begging Jake in a low voice.

  He was incredibly annoyed. Why did he have to wander around the park for no reason? He got caught by Jake.

  Why couldn't he learn from Mike? As soon as he left his post, he immediately changed into casual clothes, put on a mask and sunglasses, making him look like a perverted stalker.

  "Boss, can't I not go in?"

  Jake looked at Liam with a puzzled expression, saying, "Didn't I tell you earlier? It's just a Tabletop Game Mania. What are you afraid of?"

  Today was the completion day of the Tabletop Game Mania, and Jake was preparing to go in to check out the situation.

  He couldn't play tabletop games alone, so Jake was planning to find a few people to play a game for fun when he saw Liam slacking off in the park.

  A major taboo in the workplace: you can slack off, but you can't slack off in front of the boss.

  Even if you really have nothing to do, you have to pretend to be busy!

  That's why Liam was grabbed by Jake to be a workhorse.

  "Really? I don't believe it!" Liam almost shouted, "I don't trust you, you old bastard are up to no good!"

  Last time, you said the same thing about the Hyper Velocity Coaster.

  But after getting on the ride, he realized that there were crocodiles and giant pythons all around, and he almost died.

  "Believe it or not, you have to go in today."

  Jake chuckled and dragged Liam towards the Tabletop Game Mania.

  "Help!"

  "Murder!"

  "Someone call the cops!"

  Liam screamed at the top of his lungs.

  Not far away, a person wrapped tightly watched this scene silently.

  It wasn't until Jake dragged Liam into the Tabletop Game Mania and locked the entrance from the inside that he took off his sunglasses, pulled down his mask, and breathed a sigh of relief.

  "Sure enough, you have to disguise yourself when slacking off!"

  ......

  Inside the Tabletop Game Mania.

  The incandescent lights were bright and clear, illuminating every corner.

  But Liam felt as if he was in a pitch-black, eerie, and cold tomb. He took one step and looked three times, occasionally sticking his foot out to test for traps.

  "Just follow behind me." Jake rolled his eyes and walked straight into the nearest tabletop game room.

  Liam looked solemn, silently remembering the landing points of Jake's footsteps. Like a cat, he followed the footprints, silently entering the tabletop game room.

  The arrangement of the tabletop game room was very simple. Besides ten chairs, there was nothing else. It was empty.

  "Sit!"

  Jake gestured for Liam to sit on the chair opposite him.

  Liam walked over, carefully inspected it for a long time, and only sat down after confirming that there were no problems.

  "Come on, let's play a game of Game King!"

  "You should know how to play, right?"

  Jake thought for a while before deciding to play Game King. After all, tabletop games like Monopoly and Werewolf require multiple players to start.

  Two people can't play at all.

  Game King's 1V1 mode is perfect for two people.

  "I know how to play, but..." Liam looked confused, spreading his hands to indicate that there wasn't even a table, so how could they play a tabletop game.
