Everyone felt like their worldview had shattered.
Every time a new paragraph appeared, the old paragraph would disappear into thin air, as if it was never there in the first place.
And after Bho Su and his friends read the last word, the entire map turned empty
It now resembled an ordinary sheet of paper.
"Brother Bho.
I just tried to say the word [activate] in my mind, but it didn't work." Bihn Owo said while scratching his head in embarrassment.
Why didn't it work?
Didn't the map say that they could activate it through their minds?
Yan Jin rubbed his chin deep in thought: "Me too. I tried it just now, and the map didn't seem to have any reaction too. So it's highly likely that it will only listen to Brother Bho."
"Ah? So that's how it is." Bihn Owo's eyes lit up.
Bho Su smiled: "Hm-hm... It appears to be so.
I didn't try it just now because I wanted you both to test it out for me."
"But how did you know that we would try it?
"Because when you two are excited, you always act before you think."
Bihn Owo laughed awkwardly.
Well, it was true.
They didn't mean any harm, nor were they trying to steal his map.
It was just that the sheer excitement overwhelmed them.
And as the map gave out instructions, they just followed as if the map.
Bho Su shook his head wryly before looking at the empty piece of paper in his hands.
"Now, let me try it."
Bho Su secretly said the word 'activate' in his heart.
And sure enough, it came alive again.
But this time, there were several dots, lines and images on the map.
Everyone's mouth stayed wide open as they saw several tiny dots on the map go back and forth.
And on the top left-hand corner of the map were the words: 'Map owner: Bho Su.'
There were also words that had several dots beside them in different colours.
For example, besides the word
Animals/beasts were Blue, Park staff were in orange, Friends were Purple, Park buildings were all in Green... and of course, Bho Su was the Red dot there.
.
As for the matter of Friends on the map, they could only be added from the membership card with the consent of both parties.
And the friends would automatically turn Purple on the map after getting added.
So whenever Bho Su was in the park, the map would show him if any of his friends were in the Park or not.
That said, the map didn't show any enemies at all.
All enemies and strangers were grouped as People, A.K.A, the many grey dots passing him by on the streets.
Again, one could turn
At this point, rather than Red, they would show up as grey on the map.
But changing one's status could only be done from their membership cards.
And as the tiny dots moved, they seemed to be leaving a trace of disappearing footsteps as well.
Everything was just too awe-inspiring.
Again, the moment the map got activated, it showed Bho Su and the rest their current location, as well as the park buildings in green.
And what made them stunned was the fact that the names of the buildings floated above the green building dots like a waving flag animatedly.
Of course, there were only 2 buildings on the map: The Registration Building and the Gaming Hall.
Additionally, besides the building name was its current status.
For example, the Registration Building had the word [open] beside it, while the Gaming hall had the word [closed] beside it.
There were also several lines on the map which represented the public roads one could take to get to any of the Park buildings on the map.
How convenient.
.
Seeing Bho Su's map, Yan Jin and Bihn Owo quickly dashed towards the map-receiving box in a flash.
What a joke!
How could they let this sort of opportunity slip by just like that?
The map itself was a treasure, so how can they not want it?
"Hey!
I got here first.
So I should be the one to one to take to one first."
"No way!
Let me go first
Who knows if the place will run out of maps after you place your hand in the hole?
Forget it! I'm going first!"
Boom!
In a flash, the duo raised their fists against each other.
Both had the same cultivation base, so they were equally matched.
"Iron Palm Fist!"
Yan Jin struck out his palm, creating an invisible but terrifying palm-like qi that rushed towards Bihn Owo.
But how could Bihn Owo be outdone?
"Dancing Beatles!"
Boom!
Dust raised in the air, making those who stopped to observe, failed to see who had won in the end.
To many, their moves were so fast that they didn't see how each other made their move.
Meanwhile, Bho Su just stood there helplessly.
All this while he had been trying to talk some sense into them.
But no one of them seemed to hear him.
It was like he was completely invisible and didn't exist.
Nonetheless, he knew that no matter how both fought each other, they wouldn't severely injure themselves.
They might not look like it, but those two were close to each other and had passed through life and death situations while saving one another.
They often challenged themselves by fighting to see who was the strongest amongst themselves.
And they truly learnt and bettered themselves through challenges like these.
So all Bho Su could do was sigh while looking at the massive crowd that they had gathered.
.
Boom!
The dust finally settled.
And both parties were still standing firm with their fists clashing against each other.
But before they had the chance to continue, a mysterious but domineering voice rang out from the building, making them freeze.
[Please be advised.
Even though troublemakers can only be banned or punished during the building's opening/working hours, fighting in front of the Gaming Hall during closing hours will be considered a direct attack on the building.
So for building safety and defence, even though you will not be banned, all troublemakers could still be punished for attempting to destroy Park property.
You have been warned.]
