Chapter 60 Hot Springs Pavilion Completed
The news that Fantasy Park announced its annual pass quickly caused a sensation in Jinan City, and the news spread throughout the city in less than a day.
Aunt Liu, who has four children, was counting money at home and feeling anxious when she heard her seven-year-old grandson run in, holding a toy water gun. "Grandma, when are we going to Wonderland today?"
Another grandson rushed in, "Grandma, I want the elf."
"Grandma, I want a wreath."
"Grandma, I want to play with Sister Shuling!"
Aunt Liu was annoyed by the noise and said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't go today? Going every day would cost too much money."
Aunt Liu recently met a lot of old sisters who used to fight monsters together in the park and established a deep revolutionary friendship. But after more than half a month there, Aunt Liu suddenly realized that she had spent too much money.
It's 50 yuan per person for her, and half price for each of her four grandchildren, so the total for the five of them is 150 yuan. The tickets alone cost 4,500 yuan a month. Plus, they have to eat at the dwarf restaurant at noon and in the evening after going to the park, otherwise the four grandchildren will make a lot of noise and give her a headache. The cost of two meals for five mouths adds up to two or three hundred yuan, so it's more than 10,000 yuan a month.
Aunt Liu has been feeling uneasy ever since she calculated the bill after leaving the park yesterday. "This is too expensive." So although she was reluctant, she decided to take a few days off.
But Aunt Liu didn't expect that it would be so difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Once she got used to fighting monsters with her old sisters in the park, taking walks in the purple lake, listening to the singing of tree spirits in the children's area, and waiting for the furry waiters to deliver food in the dwarf restaurant, she couldn't stand returning to her life of taking care of her four children.
Look, it used to be normal for the four kids to play around her, but now, whenever the four kids start talking, she feels like four thousand ducks are chattering in her ears. Aunt Liu's forehead veins are throbbing, and she feels like she can't hold it in for even a second.
Just then, the eldest son came back from outside. Seeing her, he glanced at the dining table and asked in surprise, "Mom, why didn't you cook at home today?"
Aunt Liu exploded, "I worked so hard to raise you. When you get old, not only will I have to take care of your children, but I'll also have to cook for you every day."
Seeing that Aunt Liu was in a bad mood, the eldest son was stunned for a moment, then said: "Isn't it always like this before?"
Yes, wasn’t it like this before?
In the past, Aunt Liu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She was old and had nothing to do anyway, so why not lighten the burden on her children? Isn't that how life goes on? Which elderly woman in this neighborhood doesn't take care of her grandchildren? There's an elderly woman in the building next door who's older than her, and she still goes out every day to pick up cardboard boxes to help her son pay his mortgage! Compared to her, her two sons are much more successful, having bought their homes in full. She doesn't have to worry about her sons' mortgage payments; she just needs to help take care of her four grandchildren. She's worried about asking someone else to do that...
Until the old sister in paradise woke her up with a word.
——But why should you compare yourself with the worst person? People strive for higher goals, so of course you should compare yourself with those who are living a better life!
The old sister also gave birth to a pair of children, but she doesn't have to take care of her grandchildren every day, doesn't have to cook for the family, and her children don't ask her for money to buy a house. She has plenty of money for retirement. She goes to the amusement park when she has nothing to do, and when she is tired of playing, she drives out to chat with guests. Her life is so free and easy.
Look at her again. She had no enjoyment when she was young, and now she has to work hard when she is old. People say that she is enjoying a good life because her two sons are successful. In fact, what good life has she enjoyed? She is still just a nanny at home!
Seeing her son's matter-of-fact attitude, Aunt Liu stood up and said, "From now on, you and your wife should take care of the baby. I'm too old to do that."
"If you don't trust outsiders, then install surveillance cameras until you get a good one."
"I won't be taking care of your baby anymore! You can cook your own meals too."
"I'm old and can't do that any more. If you want to tire me to death, I have nothing to say."
These words left the son speechless, and the four children were also silent, looking up at their grandmother with eager eyes.
After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she felt relieved all over, picked up the money and walked out.
No matter what, she and her old sister finally made it to the 8,000th place on the Merit List. Her old sister said that she got inside information that there would be great benefits to reaching the 5,000th place, and she couldn't let her old sister down.
As a result, she ran into her neighbor. Seeing that the neighbor was going to take out the trash, she asked in surprise: "You didn't go to the park today?"
The neighbor said, "Oh, the park will be selling annual passes on the 15th. For locals, it's 500 yuan for two years. We'd be losing money if we went now! We might as well wait a few days."
***
Ever since the park announced on the 12th that it would be selling annual passes, Chi Yizhen thought that the number of tickets sold in the park would decrease in the next few days. However, when the ticket sales on the 13th and 14th were counted, it was found that the 12,000 tickets limited to each day were all sold out.
Chi Yizheng opened the ticket details out of curiosity and saw that in the ticket sales fan-shaped chart, out-of-town tourists accounted for 80%. You should know that the number of out-of-town tourists used to be only about 50 to 60 percent.
He followed up and found out that someone had spread the news that the locals in Jinan City were waiting for annual passes and would not go to the park to grab tickets. This attracted many foreign tourists to think that this was a great opportunity and they rushed to come at this time.
Chi Yi was at a loss for words, but he also realized that the park needed to expand quickly. This was only summer vacation. If they waited until the May Day holiday, National Day holiday, or Spring Festival holiday, would the park still have to open an online ticket-grabbing function like they did during the Spring Festival travel rush, where only those who grabbed tickets online could come and play? By then, I'm afraid there would be a lot of ticket-grabbing cheat software.
At this moment, the game that had been silent for a long time suddenly released a new task.
Dear players, congratulations on your victory in the match against the local Old Paradise Fun Amusement Park.
Chi Yizhen: ...
Didn't you congratulate me before? Why are you doing it again?
The sound of the game continued, "Through this PK competition, you have successfully conquered the Fun Fun Amusement Park and become the leader in the Jinan City amusement park industry."
Chi Yizheng looked around, thankful that no one except him could hear the sound of the game.
[But even at this level, there's still a long way to go before becoming the top-tier theme park in both worlds. But don't feel too stressed. This game will always be there for you, helping you build your park into the best in both worlds.]
Chi Yizheng noticed that when the game mentioned the ultimate goal of the paradise before, it was basically in the world or on the earth, but now it has become two worlds.
He asked sharply, "Is there anything different?"
Game: [Do players remember Raymond from Theodore Kingdom? ]
Of course Chi Yizheng couldn't forget, this was the person who had "killed" him several times!
Game: [Raymond is a loyal believer of the Four Seasons Goddess of the Kingdom of Theodore. Through his constant prayers, the Four Seasons Goddess has noticed the player's existence.]
Chi Yizhen: "Oh my god, he won't rush over to hit me, right?"
Game: [Players don't need to worry for now. The hole in the world barrier isn't big enough for a single evil god to pass through. However, from today onwards, the number of monsters pouring in from other worlds will increase.]
Chi Yizhen: "Doesn't that mean that the power split from the evil god has also increased?"
Yugi: [That's right. Also, please don't interrupt me.]
Chi Yizhen said politely: "Okay."
The game then continued: [After the first round of PK battles, the player's park already has the potential to reach the top. Now issuing Main Mission 10: Players, please make the park a provincial scenic spot before October Golden Week.]
Chi Yizhen hissed, "Game, you're really audacious! There are less than two months left, and the rating process won't even be completed!"
The game didn't answer him, but Chi Yizheng thought about it and realized that if the country really knew something about the park, they should be able to help complete this task as soon as possible. Moreover, the game clearly stated that more monsters would pour into the park in the future than before. It seems that they have to speed up the construction of more monster-killing areas and accelerate the expansion of the park.
As for whether it would arouse other people's suspicion... Chi Yizhen no longer considered this. Isn't it normal for our country's infrastructure to be built quickly? As long as tourists don't find out that the hot spring resort can be built in just one or two days, their worldview should be preserved.
Chi Yizheng clicked to accept Task 10.
After he confirmed it, Task 10 quickly came up with a detailed form that listed the conditions for being rated as a provincial scenic spot, including transportation facilities, parking lots, visitor centers, and so on.
"The visitor center will be built together with the new office area and dormitories. The parking lot will be built in..." Chi Yi sincerely said that Meng Le would have to work overtime every day from now on. It's okay, she will be given a bonus at the end of the month.
On the 15th, the park officially opened for sale of annual passes.
There are two ways to purchase an annual pass. One is to follow the official account of Fantasy Park and purchase it through the official account. The other is to purchase it directly at the ticket office at the entrance of the park.
The park was as bustling as ever that day. That evening, Meng Xiaodai did some statistics and discovered that over 10,000 annual passes had been sold both online and offline. She exclaimed in amazement, "At this rate, the boss's 50,000 annual passes will be sold out in no time."
Xiao Song said, "That's because our park is so strong. If I were a local tourist, I would definitely buy an annual pass."
In the past two days, Meng Le went out to inspect hot spring resorts in other places. Now he has returned from his business trip and is concentrating on drawing the design drawings. He did not join the discussion.
This time, without Manager Sal coming to give orders, Meng Le fully utilized her creativity and worked overtime until nine o'clock in the evening. She finally finished the design drawings of the hot spring center, which also included a three-dimensional modeling drawing. However, because the boss needed it in a hurry, she did not have time to do the external landscape design and only finished drawing the hot spring center.
The boss sent a message saying thank you for your hard work, and then his avatar went dark. Meng Le heard the noise of construction in the park, but did not pay much attention to it. He thought that it was a good thing that the park was far away from the residential area, otherwise he would have been complained about.
On the 19th of this month, the park's hot spring hall was finally completed. After experiencing the previous shock, Meng Le no longer felt surprised that the park built a hot spring hall in four days. After all, before she handed over the complete design drawings, the construction team had laid the foundation several days in advance!
Chi Yizheng set the opening date of the hot spring center on the 20th.
On the evening of the 19th, the dwarf elves sent over their carefully selected cubs.
Chi Yizheng was standing near the teleportation array to greet them. Just as he was getting ready, he was submerged by a unique flood. He looked closely and realized that it was not a flood at all. It was clearly a ball of fluff that was squeezed together and kept flowing.
"This is too much!" Chi Yizhen was a little dumbfounded.
