Chapter 499: A Wave of Rewards is Coming, Hot Pot Restaurant or Hot Pot Island?
[Fairyland] This side.
Having just helped others and offered a small assistance, Bai Mengran returned to her villa after properly settling Xuan Wanling and her group into their hotel rooms. There, she began to settle her daily task status with the system.
Judging from the back-end account's revenue data alone, with the full opening and operation of the high-speed rail line, coupled with the successive opening of the amusement park and home appliance store, today's turnover has achieved a significant increase, almost doubling yesterday's revenue.
Now, when Bai Mengran looks at her account balance, she has to widen her eyes and carefully check how many digits are in the balance, for fear that she might accidentally misread the number of digits.
That's truly a case of "a small mistake can lead to a huge error"!
[Hehe, host, can you guess what your reward for today is? I guarantee there'll be something you'll like~]
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Tongtongzi was in an exceptionally good mood and even took the initiative to test the host.
"Well, since you put it that way, I'll just guess a hot pot restaurant~ I've been craving hot pot lately!"
Bai Mengran was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, packing her belongings, when she made that guess casually.
Then, the system gasped, staring at its host in shock and disbelief.
[...Host, you're amazing! You even guessed that correctly!]
*Sob* I was originally planning to keep you in suspense and surprise you, but you guessed it right away...
Upon hearing that she had guessed correctly, Bai Mengran immediately asked with great interest, "Really?"
Then, she paused her tidying work, hugged her knees, leaned back on the sofa, and urged with great interest:
"Chief, hurry up and broadcast the announcement! I'm ready!"
[Ahem, alright then, there are plenty of rewards today, so listen carefully, host!]
Clearing its throat, the system then switched to its rarely used broadcasting tone and began to broadcast in a serious manner.
[Ding, congratulations host, Lv.8-1 mission: Total store spending has exceeded system coins and has been completed (current progress (/)).]
Reward: One Level 1 hot pot restaurant with a customizable style and theme.
Unlimited supply of broth and seasonings; you can also choose from first-tier ingredients (meat, vegetables, bean products, dried goods, and staple foods), with 10 of each type available in unlimited quantities.
[Ding, congratulations host, Lv.8-2 mission: The cumulative sales of the Unforgettable Bathhouse have reached 100 million.]
Rewards: The "Unforgettable Bathhouse" will be upgraded to Level 2, adding a series of value-added services such as hairdressing, skincare, and beauty treatments. Several "Super-Powered One-Stop Hair Salon" and "Super-Powered Skincare and Beauty Salon" units will also be included, along with several AI technology service personnel.
[Ding, congratulations host, main mission 25: the number of AI waiters hired through the talent system has reached 300.]
Rewards: One Class A cinema with a customizable theme, 8 screening rooms, and an unlimited supply of selected films.
……
"Wow, this system is amazing! I love this reward!"
Before the system could finish announcing the subsequent rewards, Bai Mengran, who had heard about the first few rewards, was already so excited that she couldn't contain herself and started shouting at the first opportunity.
【…】
Suddenly bombarded with praise from the excited host, the system's broadcasting rhythm was disrupted. After a brief pause, it continued broadcasting the rewards for the remaining upgrade side quests.
Many shops have been upgraded this time, mainly because with the sharp increase in customer traffic, the sales volume of goods has also increased dramatically.
The barbecue area and the Western restaurant have both been upgraded to level two, while the public restrooms have been upgraded to the maximum level.
Fortunately, the upgrades for these shops were all done automatically by default, so Bai Mengran didn't need to make any further settings.
"We're going to be rich! What a lucky day it is today! A new store and an upgrade, this is amazing!"
As Bai Mengran listened to the system's announcements one after another, she became more and more excited, almost dancing with joy.
Today is a good day! All my wishes will come true!
The leader immediately started playing cheerful background music, and the two of them sang and cheered for the duration of a song.
"Collect it~"
Bai Mengran accepted the offer without hesitation, after all, she still had a lot to consider regarding these tempting rewards.
She first got herself a plate of fruit, and while eating, she said, "Let's start setting it up, first we'll eat hot pot... oh no, I mean, we'll set up the hot pot restaurant~"
[…Alright, I suggest you customize the theme of your hot pot restaurant first, then choose a name~]
The system provides suggestions while quickly opening the settings interface.
"Oh? What does 'custom' mean...?"
Bai Mengran was initially puzzled, but once she saw the available hot pot restaurant themes on the customizable interface, she instantly understood.
"Wow, is this hot pot restaurant going to make such a big fuss?"
Hot pot city... Hot pot island... Hot pot empire? Rise up!
After these themed art styles caught Bai Mengran's eye, even the largest ordinary hot pot restaurants paled in comparison and paled in comparison.
No wonder Tongzi asked her to decide on a theme first; it turns out that the word "shop" in the name of the hot pot restaurant simply doesn't match its scale and grandeur.
With such a large number of customization options available, who would want to choose the standard one?
After carefully reviewing and comparing the rough designs of the three groundbreaking theme styles, Bai Mengran unhesitatingly chose the "Hot Pot Island" theme style that appealed to her the most.
Built directly on a pristine stretch of ocean, this hot pot island, with its gentle sea breezes and rolling waves, and all its buildings designed around a hot pot theme, is absolutely amazing!
"Let's choose Hot Pot Island. It's both romantic and unique. Let's name it 'Unforgettable Hot Pot Island'!"
"Tongzi, no wonder you wanted me to decide on a theme before choosing a name. You're so thoughtful."
After Bai Mengran decided on the theme, the subsequent setup proceeded smoothly.
It's a good thing they didn't just call it a hot pot restaurant, otherwise it wouldn't have such a grand and memorable name.
Hehe, actually I guessed a long time ago that the host would be fond of this theme, and sure enough, I guessed right!
Now, please proceed with the location and product selection process.
However, since you've chosen a water theme, the location should be on the edge of the map. This will make it easier to actually develop the water area later... Aba aba...
The system was speaking enthusiastically when it suddenly realized that it had accidentally let slip some key information and hurriedly tried to cover it up.
Unexpectedly, the host, who usually doesn't pay much attention in class, heard everything clearly this time.
