GBP Chapter 309
Chapter 309
"Since you are among the first guests, I am making an exception and allowing you to experience our most luxurious room type in the park at the price of the basic room type."
Feng Yan, blending seamlessly into the environment, was enthusiastically introducing the place to everyone.
"This room has a private teleportation array. If you don't want to use the teleportation array, there's a food street and a shopping street just a few steps away. It's in a great location and is the perfect choice for eating, drinking and having fun."
After briefly exploring the streets, Feng Yan led the group to the nearest teleportation point.
After making a few operations on the screen and granting permissions to the five people, the group arrived in front of a house in the next second.
The house in front of them was more magnificent than any of the houses they had seen on the way.
Standing in front of the mansion's gate, the group could already feel an atmosphere of luxury emanating from it.
"How much does this room cost per night?" Shi Bai swallowed.
Looking at the house, Shi Bai could tell that it wouldn't be cheap for a night.
Although none of them were short of money, he was always worried that he would be ripped off here.
"The normal price is 5888 per night, and it can accommodate 20 people at the same time, which is suitable for large families to travel together."
“However, I said I would charge based on the basic suite type, so it’s only 588 per night.” Feng Yan held up five fingers and said with a smile.
[!!!!!!容纳20人！我算算，5888除以20等于294！人均294！你就能住上豪宅！家人们，有没有和我一起拼团去的！]
Count me in!
Count me in!
[I!!!]
[Let's create a group chat, let's team up!]
[588? ??? Is the person in charge doing charity work?!]
[Seriously, are you all so excited without even seeing what it looks like inside? Am I the only one curious about what it's like inside?]
[Upstairs, isn't having a separate teleportation array something to be excited about? It's so much more convenient.]
[We want to see what the inside of the house looks like!]
The live stream room is in an uproar.
Shan Shanshan reassured everyone, "We'll be going in soon, everyone, don't worry!"
Throughout the journey, Tang Jiang remained deeply moved.
Similarly, based on his observations, Feng Yan also genuinely liked his vacation star.
The pride and joy that inadvertently shone in his eyes seemed genuine.
However, the secret joy in Feng Yan's eyes when he looked at them was also genuine.
Tang Jiang felt it was necessary for him to have a talk with Feng Yan.
While everyone was standing at the entrance of the house looking around, Tang Jiang came up to Feng Yan.
"Mr. Feng, aren't we being treated a little too well, as the first group of tourists?"
Tang Jiang smiled, but his eyes held a scrutinizing gaze.
Looking at his appearance, Feng Yan felt a strong sense of alarm.
Oh no! One of the Gods of Wealth is questioning why I'm being so good to him.
How should I reply?
How can I answer to dispel the God of Wealth's concerns?
After his thoughts lingered in his mind for 0.05 seconds, Feng Yan spoke decisively.
“You don’t need to be so formal. Just call me Feng Yan. Mr. Feng always sounds cold.”
First, we need to close the distance.
"You are the first people to come to No Night City, and your experience will certainly become our signature feature."
Then explain the reasons to them.
After speaking, Feng Yan smiled and looked at Shan Shanshan, who was interacting with fans.
Tang Jiang's gaze followed, and after a moment, he understood.
"I understand."
A hint of relaxation appeared in his eyes.
After all, people who dare to advertise via live streaming would never ruin their reputation before the live stream even begins.
It seems he can rest assured now.
From that moment on, Tang Jiang truly began to enjoy the trip.
"By the way, Brother Yan, what about the food street and shopping street you mentioned at the beginning...?"
Tang Jiang's sudden relaxed form of address startled Feng Yan.
Then, a flood of emotions welled up in my heart.
The God of Wealth approved of his explanation!
The plan goes through!
“It’s not far away, look?” Feng Yan pointed to the road crossing not far away, “It’s in there.”
"There are all kinds of food on the snack street, I guarantee you've never seen them before, they're all local specialties."
Seeing Tang Jiang's somewhat puzzled expression, Feng Yan winked mischievously and explained.
Feng Yan understood that, given the current situation where they could only drink various flavored nutrient solutions, his description alone wouldn't be enough for them to understand.
In his memory, non-nutrient liquid foods had almost disappeared.
Ultimately, seeing is believing, and tasting is believing.
"After you put down your luggage, I'll take you to get something to eat."
"Specialty food!?" Tang Jiang was extremely shocked.
He was the only one among them who had tasted local specialty foods, thanks to his uncle in the travel association.
Five years ago, after reviewing Molixing's case, my uncle brought back a box of a local specialty fruit called "Lala Fruit." He ate it and couldn't stop thinking about it.
When he wanted to buy some more, he learned that Mori Star had run out of stock and had started to limit the supply.
After the limited supply, it became impossible for ordinary college students like him to get their hands on them.
It's incredibly rare for a planet to have its own unique food.
Upon hearing Feng Yan mention the local specialties and snacks, Tang Jiang instantly thought of the lala fruit he could never forget.
Immediately, he wished he could rush straight to the food street.
Tang Jiang's shouts also attracted the attention of the other four people.
When they learned that there were local specialty foods on the nearby street, the group became excited.
"Let's go, let's go! We'll go now!" Shi Erzhe rubbed his hands together excitedly. "I've never tried local specialty foods before."
"I've always seen local specialties hyped up online, so I'm going to try them and see what makes them different."
The allure of the mansion seemed to diminish considerably under the temptation of local specialty foods.
"How about we go take a look first?" Ding Ning suggested to Shi Bai.
"Alright." Shi Bai nodded.
As for Shan Shanshan, ever since she heard the words "local specialty food," the food-loving faction in the comments section overwhelmingly outnumbered the house-watching faction.
You can see unique architecture anytime, but you must eat delicious food right now—no, I mean smell it.
Seeing the lively chat in the live stream, Shan Shan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the food street."
After seeing the attitudes of the others, Feng Yan understood.
"Let's go now."
[Ding dong, the Expectation Points system is now activated as the total has reached 100. One Expectation Point is added for every 1000 people who have expectations for anything related to Huaxing.]
[System activation costs 100 points]
[Current Expected Points: 0]
[A lottery based on anticipated points is now open. The number of points required for each draw is doubled.]
[Points required for the first draw: 2.]
NICE!
Feng Yan turned and led the way, a wicked smile spreading across his face in a corner where no one could see him.
A points system! Perfect timing!
With delicious food, why worry about not having enough points?
With points, why worry about not getting good stuff?
Feng Yan's gaze towards Shan Shanshan seemed to be burning.
This isn't a god of wealth, it's a money tree!
My points will depend on Shan Shanshan's live stream!
He was now eager to see how the group would behave at the food street.
Then came the huge influx of gold coins and points.
Jie Jie Jie Jie!
No one can resist the temptation of Earth's delicacies.
Even if they exist, they certainly aren't those interstellar people who drink grass juice every day!
The activity area in front of the house is still paved with bluestone slabs, and several evergreen trees are planted nearby.
Directly opposite was a long, vermilion corridor leading to the main gate. That was how the group had entered the house.
There are three small houses on each side, and a cobblestone path leads to the back of the house.
"I feel like I'm living in one of those tourist attractions that are open to visitors," Shan Shanshan exclaimed.
Following the cobblestone path, you arrive at the backyard, where a lush expanse of greenery immediately catches the eye.
Although it is getting late and visibility is poor, one can still feel their vibrant vitality.
In the distance lies a garden, where all sorts of flowers bloom in profusion.
A path leads directly to the center of the flower field, where a swing has been placed.
Beside the garden, there is a small pond, with a small stone bridge spanning it.
A small, exquisite pavilion stands beside the pond. Inside, there are stone tables and benches, and the eaves of the pavilion are upturned. The pavilion is decorated with red paint, making it look delicate and elegant.
Looking at the scene before them, the live stream room fell silent once again.
The pond is beautiful, and the pavilion is beautiful too.
But the real highlight is the yard full of vibrant, colorful flowers.
"Ding Ning, if I remember correctly, isn't the research topic of your laboratory about how to make the newly discovered flower seeds bloom?"
Shan Shanshan covered her mouth, her face full of disbelief.
Their university is a specialized university, especially known for its botany program.
Many plants on destroyed planets were collected and recultivated by them.
It's normal for each planet to have a few pollution-resistant plant species, so they didn't pay much attention to the greenery along the way when they entered the city.
I thought a planet could only have a few kinds of plants, but I never expected that there would be at least ten different kinds of flowers in this small flower garden.
[Family, I have a bold idea.]
[No bold ideas allowed.]
I really want to know how polluted this place is.
[This level of pollution is definitely not right.]
[Waiting for the test report.]
Ding Ning was already squatting beside the flowerbed, her eyes glistening with tears.
"I need to talk to my advisor."
With that, she got up and rushed out of the backyard.
[Ah, Miss Ding Ning is gone.]
[Of course! Judging from your IP address, you're from Arc Light Star. You must know that the only Decorte flower on display in your planet's museum was cultivated in Ding Ning's mentor's lab, right?]
……
When Ding Ning returned, Shan Shanshan had already turned off the live stream and was sitting on the swing in the center of the flower bed, swinging.
She waved happily when she saw Ding Ning return.
"Ningning, you're back! How are you?"
"My supervisor didn't answer; he's probably still in the lab. I've already left him a message."
"Come and play!"
Ding Ning's eyes were red, but she seemed to be in a good mood.
Seeing Shan Shan sitting leisurely on the swing, she couldn't help but have a mischievous thought.
She ran over quickly, deliberately without slowing down, and pounced directly onto the swing.
The swing began to shake violently, and the girls' screams and laughter echoed through the garden for a long time.
"What are those two doing?" Shi Erzhe and the other two were sitting in the pavilion by the pond when they heard a noise near the garden and peered over.
Then he got hit on the back of the head.
"So curious, huh?" Tang Jiang was in a good mood and asked him with a mischievous grin.
"Tang Jiang, I'm warning you, if you resort to violence against me again, I'll tell my dad to not let you graduate," Shi Erzhe said, covering his head and groaning.
"Professor Shi wouldn't do that." Tang Jiang made a face at him, then left the pavilion and squatted by the pond.
"Hey, look, what's that in the water?"
Tang Jiang suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Several koi carp were swimming in the water. When they saw Tang Jiang appear at the water's edge, they smacked their lips and begged him for food.
He had seen similar aquatic creatures when he went to other planets with his uncle before, so he wasn't surprised.
Looking at the koi fish, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a biscuit, crushed it into powder, and threw it into the water.
"What is that?" Shi Bai and Shi Erzhe also came over.
Then the three of them watched curiously as the koi fish swam up and down in the water, vying for food.
"Hmph, the boys are having a lot of fun too, aren't they? At first, Tang Jiang and Shi Bai didn't want to come over."
The two girls were drawn to the commotion on the boys' side and temporarily ceased their fighting.
"You can't say that. Unknown planets are indeed dangerous, and their concerns are reasonable."
Ding Ning rested her chin on her hand, leaning against the swing.
"Hmph, you think you're the only one who'd speak up for them."
Shan Shanshan leaned back and lay on the swing, gazing up at the sphere in the sky that emitted a faint glow.
A gentle breeze blew by. The two fell silent again, enjoying this leisurely moment.
"Speaking of which, Ningning, why did you agree to come? Logically speaking, you wouldn't have voted in favor, would you?"
Among the five, Ding Ning is the more composed type.
Even the two members of the support group couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive about coming to Huaxing.
It was their innate curiosity and desire to explore that drove them to come.
But Ding Ning's decision to come here was, frankly, unexpected for everyone.
"..."
Ding Ning remained silent for a long time.
Just when Shan Shanshan thought she wouldn't answer, Ding Ning spoke up.
"Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just really missed home for a moment, so I thought I'd come and visit."
"homesick?"
Shan Shanshan was confused for a second.
"Oh right, you live in Danhuajiangxing, and there is indeed a character that is the same."
"If we had known you were homesick, we probably would have turned back."
Having figured out the cause and effect, Shan Shanshan slapped her head in frustration.
Then he immediately started trying to justify himself.
Having been in this interstellar world for so long, she has not found any trace of Earth anywhere.
But now, sitting here, she feels as if she has returned to China.
I have returned to the homeland of my soul.
I have returned to the homeland of my soul.
