Chapter 343 The Underground High-Speed Rail is Finally Coming! The Mission Can Even Be Upgraded?
After the luncheon, many guests who had traveled from afar had to embark on their journeys home early due to their schedules.
Their faces all showed undisguised reluctance. Led by the butler, they hurriedly returned to their rooms to pack their bags and left early, leaving a slight regret for this grand event.
However, what warmed Bai Mengran's heart was that almost every guest who was about to leave made a special detour to come to her and solemnly thank and greet her.
Their words were full of gratitude, and they all mentioned that the gathering held thanks to Bai Mengran's generous sponsorship was truly unforgettable.
Bai Mengran remained smiling, staying by Old Master Lu's side as they saw the guests off.
Seeing that everyone was in a hurry and eager to get on their way, she quickly and considerately informed them:
"If you are pressed for time, you may wish to go to the waiting hall and take the 'flying taxi'."
Although the flight area is currently restricted and we cannot yet take you out of the county, we can quickly transport you to the border of Yongle County, thus saving you a lot of travel time.
At this moment, Hu Jiangwang, having finished packing his luggage, strolled over to say goodbye to Bai Mengran.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute, bowed slightly, his eyes filled with reluctance and gratitude, and said:
"Miss Bai, I am truly honored by your hospitality these past two days. I have had a truly eye-opening experience and have benefited immensely from this trip!"
Now that I must return to the capital to report, I cannot stay here any longer.
However, when I have more free time next time, I will definitely bring my whole family here and stay for a few more days to fully appreciate the myriad charms of this "fairyland."
Old Hu was filled with reluctance, especially for this beautiful, idyllic paradise.
He couldn't help but picture the innocent and carefree smiles of the younger generation of the Hu family, thinking that if they could come here, they would surely be captivated by the beautiful scenery and novelties and never want to leave.
However, the capital city is far from the "Fairyland". If the entire prefecture were to travel, not only would it be arduous, but many matters would also be difficult to handle.
Seeing this, Bai Mengran quickly stepped forward to support Old Hu's arm and responded with a smile:
"Take care on your journey, Mr. Hu. It's a deal now! I look forward to your and your family's next visit!"
However, I can give you a heads-up in advance—in just a few days, a magical mode of transportation that can take you directly to other state capitals will appear!
"By then, even if you are far away in the capital, you can travel on this vehicle and reach our [Fairyland] in just a few hours. You can come whenever you want, which will be incredibly convenient!"
With the literary group's approval rating soaring to the maximum, it means that the high-speed rail mission has been successfully completed!
The thought that the high-speed rail era would soon be ushered in by [Fairyland] filled Bai Mengran with overwhelming joy and excitement. Unable to contain herself, she inadvertently gave a spoiler...
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Hu Jiangwang's eyes, and he hurriedly asked:
"Oh? Such a swift and wondrous object exists? Then this old man will be eagerly awaiting good news from Miss Bai in the capital!"
I only hope that the transportation between [Fairyland] can be connected to the capital city soon, so that it will be much more convenient for this old man to travel between the two places!
After saying this, Hu Jiangwang waved his hand and, under the respectful guidance of the butler, slowly boarded the sightseeing bus, disappearing into the depths of the winding paths of the "Fairyland" in the blink of an eye.
In the end, only Elder Lu and Lu Yanran remained in the room.
However, the three magistrates, including Magistrate Kong, had already left in a hurry due to their official duties.
Lu Weihuai stroked his long beard and said with heartfelt emotion:
"Miss Bai, thanks to your meticulous management these past two days, this banquet has been so grand, dazzling, and eye-catching."
Those old fellows showered me with praise the moment they saw me, their words brimming with satisfaction, clearly showing how much they enjoyed the banquet.
Having organized numerous banquets, Lu Weihuai naturally knew how stunning and unparalleled this Floating Wine Banquet would be, aided by the [Fairyland].
His admiration for Bai Mengran, this "mastermind behind the scenes," grew even stronger.
"Elder Lu, please don't say that. If it weren't for you and all the other officials, scholars and literati coming to support us, how could our [Fairyland] be so lively?"
Your presence here greatly enhances our humble abode.
Once these great scholars return and spread the word a bit more, the fame of my "Fairyland" will spread far and wide, as if it had grown wings!
Bai Mengran always felt that this was a win-win situation. Facing the familiar Old Master Lu and Yanran, she did not hide anything and frankly spoke about the pros and cons without any reservations.
Although Lu Weihuai was not very familiar with the intricacies of business, after listening to Bai Mengran's explanation and thinking for a moment, he instantly grasped the intricacies of the matter.
He was not a pedantic person, so he naturally did not feel there was anything wrong with discussing business. He immediately laughed loudly and said, "Miss Bai is indeed exceptionally intelligent, with unique insight and forward-thinking ideas. I truly admire you, I admire you!"
The three chatted happily, and time slipped away unnoticed amidst their laughter.
A moment later, Bai Mengran and the Lu family grandfather and grandson walked side by side and boarded the sightseeing bus together, which slowly drove towards the entrance of the "Fairyland".
Before parting, the three wished each other well and then embarked on their respective journeys home.
Bai Mengran strolled along the familiar path toward the villa, each step light and joyful, as if she were walking on clouds.
She had been working tirelessly on the preparations for the banquet these past few days, and now that it was finally completed, a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart. At this moment, she felt refreshed and invigorated.
"Baby Tong, I, Bai, have arrived with glorious glory!"
As soon as she entered the door, Bai Mengran, like a child who had received candy, couldn't wait to share her joy with the system.
[Clap clap clap, host is awesome! I knew no task could stump my incredibly skilled host!]
Sensing the host's overwhelming excitement, the system instantly switched to "supporting role" mode, praising enthusiastically, its cheerful electronic voice almost leaping off the screen.
"Alright, alright, I'm ready. Let's quickly announce the mission progress and reward details!"
In the past, although she valued missions, she had never been so eager for the mission rewards to be presented to her in a real and clear way as she was now.
[Hehe, I know you're in a hurry, host, but please don't rush~] The system said this silly thing playfully.
[Ding, congratulations, host. Main Quest 16: Invite all guests to the Fairyland for a team-building activity, arrange for them to stay at the Moxiang Inn, and ensure they receive unanimous praise. The quest is now complete.]
Rewards: Full reimbursement of the first team building activity fee, plus a complimentary Underground High-Speed Rail ride.
Note: The first underground high-speed rail line is now open. The line is 1000 kilometers long (upgradeable), with a maximum speed of 1000 kilometers per hour (upgradeable). Custom naming and route planning are supported. The construction period is three days.
[Um... regarding this reward, there are accompanying upgrade missions later. Would you be willing to press your advantage and claim it?]
Just after the reward was reported, the system immediately added, as if it wanted to say something but then hesitated.
