"Have the previous batch of visitors all died?"

Mia sneaked up behind Lin Ye and suddenly spoke to him.

"How could they possibly die? This is a very legitimate theme park here. Aside from competitors, no one would die... To be precise, they can't die even if they wanted to."

Lin Ye was processing the second batch of materials delivered by the parasitic creatures. Watching the continuously rising trade points, he began creating mutation creatures that could help him handle spiritual energy materials and print cards, which would increase production efficiency.

"Some enemies have entered the theme park disguised as visitors. They're probably here to cause trouble. Should I deal with them too?"

Mia had been using dinosaur hosts to operate in various planes recently. She was developing more ways to use hosts and just happened to need some experimental subjects.

"No need. Before, the park wasn't complete enough. Now, as long as they enter the park interior, except for those truly powerful individuals, the lives of all visitors are under my control. I can turn them into part of the park at any time, or I can turn them into parasitic bombs and send them back to where they belong."

The Alienation-themed park was Lin Ye's base. To cause trouble in his base, they'd need to send at least powerful individuals among high-level spiritual energy users, or existences beyond spiritual energy users.

"Doesn't that mean I'm unemployed then?"

Mia didn't want to lose her first job so quickly.

"You can return to your original profession. The Alienation Park needs a mascot."

Lin Ye stopped his work. With the help of the mutation creatures, the second batch of materials had already been processed.

"What does a mascot do?"

Mia had never been to other theme parks.

"Of course, it's to promote the advantages of the Alienation Park to the outside world. I just prepared some flyers. You can take your mascot subordinates outside to distribute flyers, promoting the park's advantages to guests. This is your activity budget. You can buy whatever you want yourself."

Lin Ye generously transferred 500 trade points to Mia.

"Received!"

Mia happily left the building with those alienated stuffed toys.

The victim state stuffed toy didn't leave with Mia. Lin Ye had other work for it to complete.

Chess: Boss, is there anything else you need me to do? It seems like I'm not needed here anymore.

Caris: Same here. The Alienated Grassland can already operate independently.

Amy: I'm chatting with the Graveyard master's corpse. Do you need me to stay here?

Lin Ye: Amy, continue chatting with the corpse. Chess and Caris can drive to other tunnels to place mutation creatures. I already sent people to mark the tunnels outside earlier. Green marks indicate tunnels that can be explored. Red marks indicate dangerous but explorable tunnels. Black marks indicate tunnels that absolutely must not be approached.

Chess: Received. I'll head over right away.

Caris: Received.

Lin Ye still needed to stay in the building to control the overall situation and continue setting up the base. Exploration missions requiring travel through space tunnels could only be completed by his teammates.

'I hope we can develop for a while longer.'

Lin Ye glanced at the assassin hiding in the room's shadow. This was the nineteenth assassin to break into the building recently, and the first to enter this room. Now, only his brain remained in place.

He was very patient, always waiting for an opportunity, so until now, he hadn't realized that everything on his body except his brain had already run off.

Perhaps only at the moment he tries to act will he realize his situation.

Out of respect for the strong, Lin Ye decided to give him a chance to act.

Although he no longer has hands.

But that's not a problem. With enough spiritual energy, Lin Ye could do many things even if only a brain remained.

Lin Ye grabbed the Penguin Baby that suddenly slid onto his thigh and petted it for a while. This Penguin Baby seemed to have other uses, but he hadn't found them yet.

Knock knock.

Suddenly, knocking sounded at the door. Lin Ye frowned and looked at the door. He hadn't detected anyone approaching outside at all earlier.

"Come in."

Petting the Penguin Baby, Lin Ye spoke.

"Excuse me. Someone paid me to come and have a few words with you. I hope you don't mind."

The Middleman pushed the door open and entered the room. He didn't pay attention to the brain hiding in the corner, walking directly to Lin Ye.

"Which merchant guild? Give me half the commission, and I won't mind."

Leaning back in his chair, Lin Ye said casually.

"This is a meeting fee I'm personally paying you."

The Middleman handed Lin Ye a festival gift.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Lin Ye accepted the festival gift. A chair moved behind the Middleman.

"No, I just came to see you. As for negotiations, I don't think it's necessary. You won't agree to the guild's conditions, and the guild won't give you a chance to backstab them."

The Middleman sat on the chair and took a sip of the drink on the table.

"What a pity. I wanted to stabilize them first. Seems like there's no chance for that."

Lin Ye was already prepared for a direct fight, but it would naturally be better if it were easier.

"The guild gave me a contract, a very powerful contract."

The Middleman emphasized the word 'powerful.'

"That's truly regrettable. I've always been amiable. Originally, I wanted to cooperate with the guild."

Lin Ye stroked the Penguin Baby's soft, warm belly. The Penguin Baby's breathing gradually slowed, falling asleep on his thigh.

"Of course, I know your character. It's the guild side that's too impolite."

The Middleman glanced at the brain in the shadow. This was indeed being amiable. If Lin Ye were to infiltrate the guild, wouldn't it end up with a circle of brains holding meetings in the conference room?

"You're right. It would be much more convenient if they were a bit more polite."

Lin Ye chatted with the Middleman for a while before the Middleman bid farewell and left the Alienation Park. He still needed to report the negotiation results to the guild.

During the conversation with the Middleman, Lin Ye wasn't idle either. He had been setting up the base, preparing for the upcoming festival parade.

Additionally, Chess and Caris were also on track. More spiritual energy materials were transported into the building. Lin Ye created another batch of mutation creatures to handle materials and print cards.

Not long after, new areas were processed, giving visitors entering the park two more new choices.

Lin Ye controlled the overall situation, continuously handling various problems arising from the Alienation Park's operation.

Knock knock.

Someone knocked on the door again, but this time Lin Ye already knew they were coming.

"Come in."

Lin Ye temporarily set aside those unimportant tasks in his hands, focusing his attention here.

"Excuse me."

Entering the room was a corpse, the corpse of a tenth-order spiritual energy user.
