Chapter 57 Five-Digit Account Deposits
Before sending Kong Nishang back to her residence, Bai Mengran drove the food truck to the official's place again to pay the stall fee for tomorrow in advance and reserve the four old seats for today.
Then, guided by Kong Nishang, he drove her back to the mansion and took the opportunity to familiarize her with the place.
"Goodbye, Sister Bai. Thank you for your hospitality today!"
Kong Nishang, carrying three large bags of instant noodles, waved goodbye reluctantly after getting off the bus.
"Yiyi, come visit me in [Fairyland] when you have time."
Bai Mengran waved back to her, and after she went inside, she stepped on the gas and sped back.
Today was the most tiring day she had ever experienced since she transmigrated, and it also felt like the longest day.
I've been busy since morning, without a moment's rest.
Fortunately, today's harvest is proportional to this.
Looking at the five-figure balance in her back-end account, Bai Mengran felt that her hard work had not been in vain!
Back at [Wonderland], after parking the food truck and exchanging a few words with Xiao Yi, she went back to her villa.
The shop was handed over to the reliable Xiao Yi and Xiao Er; her mortal body simply couldn't handle it.
The first thing I do when I get home is take a bath to wash away all my fatigue.
After taking a shower and changing into her soft crepe cotton pajamas, Bai Mengran went to the dining room.
She ordered a bowl of spicy beef noodles from the back office and went into the kitchen to cook the noodles.
I took an egg from the refrigerator, found some luncheon meat, and fried both the egg and the luncheon meat in a separate pan.
The water in the noodle soup pot was bubbling and gurgling. Bai Mengran first put in the noodles, and then added all the seasoning packets in one by one.
Cook the noodles until they are slightly soft, then turn off the heat. Take a noodle bowl from the cupboard, put the cooked noodles into the bowl, and finally arrange the fried egg and luncheon meat on top.
She prefers instant noodles that are slightly undercooked, as they have a chewier texture.
Finally tasting the delicious food she had been longing for, Bai Mengran felt completely satisfied.
The spicy flavor kept stimulating her taste buds, and she couldn't help but pick up the noodles and start eating them with gusto.
It's made with high-quality ingredients, so you can taste beef and vegetables in almost every bite. A bowl of it is both spicy and refreshing.
She didn't even leave the soup base behind, drinking it all up. I have to say, instant noodles and luncheon meat are a perfect match.
The fried luncheon meat, golden brown and juicy, soaks up the spicy beef broth, and one bite is pure bliss.
This bowl of instant noodles was the most delicious Bai Mengran had ever eaten. This amazing system truly lives up to its name; who wouldn't be mesmerized by the improved flavor!
Feeling utterly exhausted and too lazy to wash the dishes, Bai Mengran simply put all the used pots, pans, and chopsticks into the dishwasher. Let technology save lazy people!
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she finally returned to the embrace of her beloved bed.
Leaning against the soft, plush pillow, I lay down without a care in the world.
She's completely unable to move at all today!
Lying in bed, Bai Mengran opened her account and checked her current balance, instantly regaining a bit of her energy.
The promotion of public carriages to pick up passengers was quite effective.
As of now, I already have 5 system coins in my account!
Although I know this money can't be kept secret, it's just so pleasing to the eye no matter how I look at it!
I really want to take a screenshot to remember this moment. It's true that when things keep happening one after another and you're constantly busy, the day feels incredibly long.
"Tongbao, are you there? If you are, let me know."
Unable to speak, Bai Mengran called out to the system in her consciousness.
【……squeak!】
"Pfft... No, Tongbaoji, you're too adorable! You just say whatever I tell you to say."
This system of hers seems a bit...unconventional.
【……??.??？】
It didn't understand. Wasn't that what the host meant just now?
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic, Tongbaoji, have you seen the empire I've conquered?"
Bai Mengran changed the subject and began to curry favor with the system.
[I saw it! Host, you're really amazing. You exceed expectations every time you complete a mission. I can barely keep up with all the missions I'm getting.]
The system got really excited. Before meeting its destined host, it had never experienced such a feeling of receiving so many tasks and having its points increase endlessly.
There's no way to take them all!
With its points skyrocketing in recent days, various systems have sent it congratulatory messages.
Their words were full of envy, and they all asked it what its secret to increasing scores was.
Hmph, would it possibly tell those systems that its most treasured possession is the host?
It can't! ╮（￣▽￣）╭
Let them be envious and jealous!
【whee…(?????)】
The system became increasingly smug and accidentally made a sound.
"...Tongbao, what are you grinning about? Don't you have anything to report to me?"
Bai Mengran lay there waiting for a long time, but the system didn't start announcing the task completion status, which puzzled her.
"Oh wait, don't report it yet! I almost forgot, could you help me buy another simple staff room and arrange it across from the small room?"
She didn't have time to arrange accommodations for Xiao Er during the day, but luckily she just thought of one.
Otherwise, if we didn't prepare a room for him to charge his phone, and the waiter ran out of power and went on strike, she'd be in real trouble...
While short-term memory still exists, it must be brought up immediately, lest it be forgotten in an instant.
[Host, would you consider building double-occupancy staff dormitories? They only cost 800 system coins, offering better value than single rooms!]
"Why didn't you say so earlier if there was a cheaper option... I'll definitely go for a double room!"
Since they'll be hiring a lot of waiters anyway, the staff dormitory is just a place for her employees to recharge, so they only care about the price and not the comfort.
[Host... Last time, you approved the deal as soon as I mentioned a single room, without even giving me a chance to introduce other room types...]
The system weakly defended itself, saying it was innocent!
"Is that so? Wait! Could there be some kind of dormitory or something?"
[…Congratulations, host, you answered correctly! Besides double rooms, there are also four-person and eight-person rooms, costing 1400 and 2600 system coins respectively.]
"Oh, there really is! Hey, what we're talking about is, could we recommend the most cost-effective option next time? After all, we're broke right now, so every penny we can save is a penny we can."
[Alright, host. However, the dormitory requires students to be of the same gender, so please keep that in mind when arranging accommodations.]
Sensing its host's slight dissatisfaction, the system pouted somewhat aggrievedly, its tone becoming low and somber. (′???`)
"Then let's build four-person rooms. I'll hire male employees first to share rooms with the waiter. Tung-Bao-Chi, I'll leave it to you then~"
[Yes, host. Confirmed. A four-person staff dormitory is under construction.]
Despite feeling wronged, it still had to obediently follow the tasks assigned by its host.
Hmph, the leader is aggrieved, but he won't say it!
Bai Mengran immediately sensed the system's childlike emotional changes and, after finishing her business, tried to coax it gently.
"My dear Tongbao, I'm not blaming you. Think about it, why am I so meticulous about budgeting? Don't I want to shop, shop, shop?"
Upgrading, unlocking quests, hiring people—all of these require money…that's why we need to spend every penny wisely, don't you agree?
