Chapter 188: Eager to get home and exercise, first leisure task completed!
The "flying car" gradually accelerated, and in an instant, it sped back like an arrow released from a bow.
Some of the people who had witnessed it passing by on the street were still walking when they saw the red and white speeding car whizzing past them again, leaving a dazzling trail of light.
"That's truly astonishing speed! It looks much faster than a public carriage..." exclaimed a commoner.
"Yes, judging from the direction they're flying, they're definitely heading to [Fairyland]!"
"It's obvious that only there could you find such a wondrous thing. I just wonder how I can ride in this vehicle and experience the thrill of speeding along?"
"We're close to [Fairyland], so I think renting a shared bicycle would be both affordable and convenient, enough for us to go and explore!"
……
Seeing this, the bystanders, who had nothing to do, spontaneously gathered again and began to discuss it enthusiastically.
They speculated about the secret of the "flying car" one after another, and everyone had excited smiles on their faces.
It seems that discussing the wonders of their newly discovered "fairyland" has become a great source of joy in their otherwise ordinary lives.
As the "flying taxi" started moving, the interior wasn't much better; a duet of tenor and soprano voices immediately filled the air...
Su Zirang was in the passenger seat, his legs stretched forward, his hands gripping the handrails tightly. He was so excited by the car's incredible speed that his face turned red, and he kept yelling "Ah ah!" feeling both scared and exhilarated.
The other person to respond was Su Yingying, but she was carefree and not afraid at all; her shout was a joyful sound born of excitement.
"Wuhu, Sister Bai, riding in this car is so exhilarating! It feels like we're taking off right there!"
After getting used to it, Su Yingying lowered her voice.
At this moment, only Su Zirang in the front seat could be heard groaning nervously inside the car...
Su Yingying couldn't help but roll her eyes at the person in the front seat, speechless at her cowardly second brother who was all bark and no bite.
"Second Brother, none of the women behind us are scared, but you're the one screaming the loudest. How can you be so shameless?"
Seeing this, Madam Su quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere: "Yingying, stop teasing your brother. You know that Rang'er has always been timid! You're just making a fool of yourself in front of Ranran."
Why are her two children so easily startled? They're nothing like her calm and collected self; they've both taken after their father. Sigh...
"Haha, it's alright, Auntie. This is all normal. If you think the car is going too fast, you can ask the driver to slow down."
Although Bai Mengran also found Su Zirang's reaction somewhat amusing, she certainly wouldn't show it unless she couldn't help it.
"Please take your time!"
"Please don't slow down!"
Two completely different voices rang out at the same time, putting the driver in a dilemma: should he slow down or not?
"Yingying, stop fooling around." Madam Su spoke up in time, rescuing the driver from his predicament. "Please, driver, slow down."
Upon hearing this, the driver immediately responded, "Okay, I have slowed down as requested by the passenger. Please feel free to ask if you have any other needs."
Mrs. Su immediately said politely, "Thank you for your trouble."
As the speed gradually slowed down, the view outside the window became clearer.
Almost every passerby couldn't help but cast curious glances at them, as if they were admiring something new and interesting.
Su Zirang finally recovered from the shock and belatedly realized his loss of composure, so he chose to remain silent and try to minimize his presence...
"Auntie, the Fairyland is just ahead; we've arrived."
Meng Ran looked at the familiar door in front of her and spoke up to remind Madam Su, who was visiting for the first time.
"Wow~ Surrounded by distant mountains and shrouded in mist, this place truly lives up to its name as a fairyland!"
Mrs. Su sat in the middle seat in the back row, with an extremely wide view in front of her.
When she first saw the gate to "Fairyland", she was deeply attracted by the paradise-like scenery.
She was an introverted person who did not easily reveal her inner feelings, but faced with such a moving landscape, she could not help but feel excited and wished she could immediately pick up her paintbrush and capture it on the canvas.
"Mother, the scenery outside is just the tip of the iceberg. The sights inside the [Fairyland] are truly eye-opening!"
Su Yingying couldn't help but speak up to remind her mother.
The "flying car" slowly came to a stop in the open space outside the door, and the four people got out of the car one after another.
Since Madam Su and Su Zirang were new guests, they needed to queue for tickets before entering. Therefore, Bai Mengran went ahead and asked Su Yingying to accompany them to get tickets. She would meet up with them later in the "Fairyland".
Su Yingying readily accepted Bai Mengran's suggestion, knowing full well that Bai Mengran was extremely busy and dared not take up her time.
At this moment, Madam Su was completely captivated by the beautiful scenery before her and had long since abandoned any thought of leaving the house.
She pulled Su Yingying aside and asked her all sorts of questions, filled with curiosity about everything around her.
Su Zirang, who had never held a high position in the Su family, was now as if he had been abandoned and could only silently follow behind his mother and sister.
I listened intently to their conversation, occasionally chiming in with a word or two, but it all seemed so insignificant.
Bai Mengran hurried to the villa and started exercising as soon as she entered.
Once she reached the safe zone, she was finally able to relax, no longer needing to maintain a certain image, and began to do squats to her heart's content.
By the time she had done sixty squats, her thighs had started trembling uncontrollably…
"Oh dear, my darling, do you see the sweat and suffering I've endured for you?" Bai Mengran gasped for breath. She hadn't exercised in a long time, and her stamina was really lacking.
[I saw it... Host, you've worked hard! I'm cheering you on! You're the best!]
"Phew... I've discovered that being your host is really not easy. I even have to get involved in sports? I never expected this..."
While talking to the system to distract myself, I did it in three separate sessions and finally completed one hundred squats!
[Ding, Leisure Task 1: Complete 100 squats in one day. Current progress (100/100).]
Rewards received: 1 bottle of Leg-Soothing Spray, +2 Leisure Points (currently 2), +1 Constitution. (A new [Character Attributes] panel has been added, allowing you to view your character's attribute values based on comprehensive analysis.)
Just as Bai Mengran was trembling as she stood up after completing her 100th squat, the system reward announcement rang in her ears.
But she had no interest in the reward at that moment; she only felt severely exhausted, panting heavily, her hair soaked with sweat.
She deeply realized that what seemed simple at first became increasingly difficult as the task progressed.
Each squat requires clenching your teeth and exerting tremendous effort to stand up shakily; it is truly not easy.
Fortunately, the mission was finally completed, and the leg-sore-free spray had been automatically stored in her bag.
Bai Mengran slowly moved her crippled leg to the swing chair in the courtyard and sat down, intending to check the newly released character attribute panel first.
She secretly wondered if this was one of her attributes.
I clicked on it, and hey, it really was hers...
