Chapter 108 Color TV in Another World
This time, the dwarf elves' cubs, led by No. 78, returned to their hometown.
Because the hot spring has a lot of guests every day and has high requirements for service quality, the cubs cannot go back to their hometown for rotation once a week like their elders who work in the restaurant.
The hot spring center opened on August 20th, and as of October 15th, these cubs have been working in the hot spring center for almost two months. This is their first time back home.
The director had already suggested giving them two days off a week, or they could work continuously for a while and then have a period of vacation. The cubs gathered for a meeting and discussed the matter for several days before voting for the latter option. They wanted to save money to buy a large television to play programs and bring it back home.
Now they have finally saved enough money to buy a TV and can return home in glory!
So the cubs were very excited and got up early in the morning to pack their belongings.
After the dormitory building was completed, the cubs moved in en masse. The new dormitories were a delightful place, similar in style to the guest rooms at the hot springs. Each room had a two-meter ceiling, a bit cramped for humans, but perfect for dwarfs. The design was reminiscent of a student dormitory, with each cub having their own bed, desk, and cabinet. Gifts from guests and their own savings were stored here.
As soon as it got dark, the cubs came into the teleportation array, carrying large and small bags on their backs, skipping and jumping.
On the other side of the teleportation array were the dwarf elf parents who had been waiting there.
A group of furry creatures squatted near the teleportation array, anxiously stretching their necks and licking their hair that was messed up by the wind from time to time.
Unlike the climate on Earth, the dwarf elves' territory is located near the abyss rift. The formation that freezes the rift continuously emits cold air, making the nights here very cold.
Finally, when the teleportation array's light came on, the dwarf parents stood up one by one. Then, a group of fluffy people carrying large and small bags rolled out of the teleportation array like a stream.
"Woo yo woo yo~"
"Woo yo woo yo woo yo~"
For a moment, the cubs' tender yet vigorous cries mixed with their parents' joyful cries, and the dwarf village was instantly bustling as if it were a festival.
There is no parent who doesn't love their children. Although the dwarf parents know that their cubs are doing well from their fellow tribesmen who come and go every week, they are always worried when they haven't seen them for two months. After all, the cubs are not old enough to be independent, and they will always suffer if they go out to work for others. In the minds of these parents, working is better than starving and getting hurt in their hometown, but they may feel wronged!
However, after just two months, most dwarf parents found that they could hardly recognize their own children.
How come I didn’t lose any weight after going out to work, and instead gained a lot of weight?
An orange-haired dwarf elf picked up the fat little orange boy who jumped beside him and shook him upside down, saying in surprise, "Wow! He must have gained half the weight!"
Other dwarf parents also found that their children had become fat. Not only that, their hair was shiny and smooth, and their limbs were much thicker. It was obvious that their children were not just fat.
The dwarf parents immediately put away the words of comfort they had prepared and licked their cub.
That’s amazing! You can tell he eats and drinks a lot at the boss’s place!
The cubs happily rubbed against their family and shared their experiences at work.
"Hardship? No, the work is pretty easy."
"Ouch! Some guests are being a little unruly, but that's okay. Just report them to the supervisor and he'll warn them. If they do it again, the park won't accept them!"
"Wow, wow, the boss is so generous! He gives us so much meat every day. We eat so much every day!"
"Young ones can even be served by customers! Wow, you heard me right! Many customers like to serve us, cutting our nails, feeding us, and combing our hair!"
"We even have a luxurious dormitory to live in! I have my own bed and locker! Mom, the boss said I did an excellent job and gave me a cell phone as a reward! I took a lot of photos to show you."
"Wow, I also bought a lot of local specialties there..."
The cubs opened their bags at the same time and showed the gifts they brought to their families. Although most of them were worthless little things, when they saw their families holding them up and looking at them carefully with curiosity, they jumped around with joy and rolled around next to their families from time to time.
"Wow, the principal said we've met our performance targets for the past two months and can buy a lot of things, so we saved up and bought a big color TV!"
Chief Huo Huoqi asked curiously, "What is a large color TV?"
No. 78: "It's a color TV, a prop only found in Fantasyland. You don't need to put any extraordinary materials in it, you just need to charge it to watch the programs!"
Huo Huoqi couldn't imagine that in their world, there were indeed furniture similar to the televisions on Earth, but only human nobles could afford them, and they needed to be filled with extraordinary crystals. Their dwarf elves were so poor that they didn't even have enough food to eat, let alone owning such a thing.
Not long after, the manager of the dwarf restaurant, Hohoda, pulled out a large rechargeable color TV from the teleportation array.
Unlike the smart TVs commonly used in households on Earth, the base and back panel of this large rechargeable color TV are as thick as a brick, which is used to fill the battery.
Hohoda explained, "This type of TV is quite rare even at the zoo director's place. It can last for several days between battery changes. It's a reward for the cubs' hard work."
Hearing this, the cubs proudly puffed out their furry little chests.
After Hohoda introduced the situation of charging the TV, Hohochi summoned all the fellow elves nearby. Everyone squatted in the open space in an orderly manner. When Hohoda turned on the big color TV, all the dwarfs held their breath, and their fluffy curled ears stood up nervously.
After a slight sound, the screen lit up, and vivid colors and never-before-seen programs appeared on the square screen.
The dwarfs' eyes lit up, and Chief Huo Huoqi said excitedly, "I remember now! This is the Magic Light Screen. I saw it when I was a child at the home of a human noble! It wasn't as big as this, nor as bright as this!"
"My god, this is worth tens of thousands of extraordinary crystals! You guys are awesome!"
"The boss is so generous!"
The dwarves cheered.
Hohochi stamped the ground several times with his paws and shouted, "Quiet! Quietly enjoy the show!"
There is no signal in this world, and it is even more impossible to receive programs from the earth. Therefore, the dwarves watch the programs that have been saved in advance, including the classic short film of Fantasy Park "Three Stupid Thieves Enter the Park", the promotional video of Fantasy Park, and "Exciting Clips of Exploration Mission in the City of Pranks".
How could the dwarves have ever enjoyed such entertainment? They all watched with rapt attention, and several of them would rather hold their urine to watch more.
They first watched the promotional video and were shocked by the luxury of the Fantasy Park. For the dwarves who still lived in caves and straw huts, the architectural structure and design of the Fantasy Park were enough to make them marvel from the bottom of their hearts; then they watched "Three Idiot Thieves Enter the Paradise", in which the participants of the film, Hohoda and the cub, received the envious gazes of all the dwarves, and finally the clip of the exploration mission in the City of Pranks.
At first, they just watched this as a show, but when they saw the clip where Atelan's soul was laid to rest, Chief Ho Hochi couldn't help but look nostalgic, "Atelan, Thornes, why do they sound so familiar?"

On October 17th, Tanbuchu drove to Fantasy Land, thinking that since it was Monday, the hot springs wouldn't be crowded, so he could go see his beloved No. 213. No, he had already named it Huihui. He even bought it a gift!
He excitedly came to the hot spring with gifts, but when he entered, he found that there was no sign of any fluffy cubs inside. Huihui, who always rushed out to greet him every time he came, was nowhere to be seen.
Tanaka looked around in confusion, and then he found a sign in the lobby of the hot spring hotel that read: Dear visitors, due to technical update issues, the hot spring hotel will not provide any cute pet services from October 15th to 20th.
Tanaka saw several tourists repeatedly asking at the front desk, "We came here specifically to see it, can't you please be flexible?"
"Do we really have to wait five days? Can the update be completed in advance?"
"Is it okay if I pay twice as much?"
The front desk clerk explained helplessly but patiently, "I'm sorry, except for the cute pets, all other services are available as normal. Don't worry, customers who come in to make purchases within the next five days will receive a 30% discount on all fares. If you have a coupon, you can get an additional 30% discount on top of that."
The guests then left reluctantly with satisfaction.
When Tanbuchi saw this, he knew that he would not be able to see Huihui today. He sighed, stuffed the gift back into his bag, and thinking that his trip would not be in vain, he went to take a hot spring bath and then went to the buffet restaurant for dinner.
Although the buffet restaurant in the hot spring center does not use expensive ingredients, the taste is very good and there are many varieties. Considering the price, it can be said to be very cheap.
Not long after Tian Buzhong chose his meal and sat down, he heard a boastful voice, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Tian? You're eating here too!"
Tian Buzhong looked up and saw a middle-aged man sitting in front of him with a big smile on his face. Tian Buzhong immediately smiled warmly, "Mr. Qian, hello, hello, you come to play too."
The middle-aged man coughed awkwardly and said, "Mr. Tian, my last name is Zhao."
Tanaka: ...
This was so embarrassing that he didn't know how to smooth things over.
Fortunately, the man surnamed Zhao didn't mind and directly explained his purpose. "This is what I mean. Mr. Tian, I was wondering if you could introduce me to Director Chi of the park."
Tanaka declined directly, "I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with Principal Chi either."
The middle-aged man said, "Hey, don't be so modest. Everyone knows that your cousin has a close relationship with Director Chi! Your cousin even stayed at the hospital in Jin'an City to work for Director Chi."
Tanaka: ...
Which big mouth spread the rumor?
