Hyper Velocity Coaster Upgrade Details:
Requirement 1: 3001/3000 Rider Count Achieved (Completed)
Requirement 2: Create a promotional video for the Hyper Velocity Coaster and promote it heavily online. (Incomplete)
Upgrade Changes: A 360-degree loop will be added to the Hyper Velocity Coaster, and the speed will increase to a supersonic 1250 mph when traversing it, allowing riders to experience ultimate speed.
Note: After the upgrade, the Death Coaster will include a supersonic protective suit, automatically adjusting protection based on each rider's constitution to ensure their body is not negatively affected by the extreme speed.

Jake's breathing grew heavier as his eyes darted across the system's explanation.
"A 360-degree loop!"
"Supersonic speed of 1250 mph!"
Jake instinctively licked his lips.
Just thinking about it was exhilarating, and his legs started to tremble.
He closed his eyes.
Images of riders already seated on the Death Coaster filled his mind.
From the moment the ride starts, the riders scream incessantly, their expressions terrified.
As they approach the loop, the coaster suddenly accelerates, more than doubling its speed, and the sound of breaking the sound barrier echoes throughout the Starlight Amusement Park!
The fantasy ended abruptly.
Not because Jake didn't want to continue, but because he couldn't imagine how much more terrified the riders' expressions could get!
"If I can't imagine it, I'll just have to see it for myself," Jake muttered.
Then, Jake took action, getting a drone and filming the Hyper Velocity Coaster from every angle, capturing a wealth of photos and footage.
After organizing the images and footage and sending them to a professional studio, a short Hyper Velocity Coaster promotional video was ready in less than two days.
Jake got the video and logged into his accounts on various social media platforms, posting the video. He also spent a lot of money promoting it to reach more people.
The video was titled: "Shocking! This Amusement Park's Coaster Silences Pilots, Makes Astronauts Weep. If You Don't Ride It, You're Not an American!"
"To be honest, I don't think that's clickbait, is it?" Jake muttered to himself.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
"System, I've completed the promotion task you set!"
"Ding, the Death Coaster upgrade task has been fully completed. The upgrade process can be started at any time!"
"Please select the construction method..."
"Manual construction!" Jake said.
"Estimated construction time is three days!"
Before long, trucks loaded with construction workers and materials appeared outside Starlight Amusement Park.
They skillfully opened the park gates and filed in with the various materials, starting the construction work.
The Hyper Velocity Coaster would be closed for the next three days.
Fortunately, Starlight Amusement Park was no longer what it used to be. Without the Hyper Velocity Coaster, visitors could still enjoy other rides and attractions.
During the time the system workers were upgrading the Hyper Velocity Coaster, the promotional video that Jake posted started to gain traction online.
...
Mike was a journalism intern.
As usual, after finishing his busy work, he returned home, eating while scrolling through various news media platforms on his phone.
He hoped to catch any breaking news stories so he could write a press release as soon as possible.
"Traffic accident in the suburbs of New York City results in 3 injuries..."
"Robbery in Chicago recently, suspect apprehended."
"The President announces they may leave yet another group chat."
Mike put down his phone and rubbed his eyes.
After looking for a long time, he didn't see any particularly noteworthy news.
The news he saw could be used to write press releases, but what was the point?
For interns like him, performance was everything.
Only writing noteworthy and explosive news would allow him to gain a foothold in the station and remove the word "intern" from his work badge.
"Sigh, those who work hard will be blessed by God!" Mike encouraged himself and continued searching for valuable and noteworthy news.
At that moment, a promoted video caught his attention.
"Shocking! This Amusement Park's Coaster Silences Pilots, Makes Astronauts Weep. If You Don't Ride It, You're Not an American!"
Mike subconsciously read the title aloud.
Then he snorted and looked stern.
"These people have no shame!"
"Whatever you write, it should be based on facts. How can you use clickbait?"
"Silences pilots and makes astronauts weep? What do you think the coaster is, a spaceship?"
Mike got angrier and angrier.
Wait!
Just then, Mike suddenly had an idea.
Could he do a segment on clickbait?
Clickbait has always been disliked!
If he could create a segment exposing clickbait, it would definitely be praised by those who have been harmed by it!
Mike felt it was more and more feasible, and his heart pounded.
Although it wasn't a huge breaking news story, it would definitely attract a lot of attention if it was reported.
"And soon I'll be promoted and get a raise, become a general manager, be a CEO, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of my life."
"It's a little exciting to think about!"
The corners of Mike's mouth involuntarily turned upwards.
No sooner said than done, Mike opened the video and began watching.
As the saying goes, know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated!
The video wasn't long, and Mike quickly finished watching it, then scoffed.
"What a bunch of baloney! A coaster that breaks the sound barrier and reaches supersonic speeds!"
"The fastest coaster in the world goes about 150 mph, and you're nearly 6 times faster than that!"
"Wait, grandpa's here to debunk you!"
Three days passed quickly.
The Death Coaster was completed as scheduled!
The overall shape of the Death Coaster wasn't too different from before, except for the addition of a 360-degree loop in the middle.
"Holy crap, Boss, you're too ruthless. The Hyper Velocity Coaster was already stimulating enough, and now you've added a 360-degree loop! Other amusement parks just want riders' money, but you want their money AND their lives!" Liam said nonstop.
Jake raised an eyebrow and said, "I feel like I need to pick a few people to test it."
Liam immediately stood at attention and said, "Boss, I was wrong. You're generous and forgiving, and don't hold grudges!
"Whatever good things you have, give them to someone else. Just don't give them to me!"
