At 7:30 a.m., Li Yao got up, washed up, and went for a morning run, taking a stroll in the park.
There were many aunties and uncles dancing in the park. Looking at this vibrant scene, Li Yao couldn't quite put her finger on whether she felt regret or something else.
On her way back, Li Yao stopped for ramen, which was quite delicious. Back home, she turned on the TV and tuned to the news channel as usual.
According to the latest news from the Global Times, the United States plans to restore its military bases in Hawaii and other locations. A total of 13 military bases are planned for restoration, with an estimated restoration period of two years...
The investigation into the disappearance is ongoing in various countries, but no useful information has been obtained from surveillance footage or eyewitness accounts.
Li Yao took a shower. Today, besides collecting the noodles and other buffet and banquet dishes ordered yesterday, Li Yao planned to teleport to XG to spend money. She still had 3 billion. If she didn't spend it, would she wait to burn paper money for warmth in the apocalypse?
Li Yao called out to the system: "[6834, have Da Zhuang use my information to book a presidential deluxe suite at the XG Peninsula Hotel for 7 months]."
Li Yao planned to stay until the lead-up to the tsunami. She had to admit that she simply preferred luxurious large houses; small houses felt too cramped. However, she was worried about landslides if she stayed outdoors during the torrential rains and floods, so she opted for a temporary shelter in a small cabin in the northwest, and a luxury hotel before the natural disaster.
A good host
Li Yao opened the [Teleportation Gate] and arrived at the 5th floor of the office building, picked up Da Zhuang, and returned to the small house in the Northwest County.
"Dazhuang, install the surveillance and security system in this house," Li Yao said, taking out the system and six cameras from her old villa in her spatial storage.
"Yes, Master, Dazhuang is happy to serve you," Dazhuang said, visibly pleased. Li Yao felt a little guilty; she had been so busy collecting things that she hadn't seen Dazhuang for at least two weeks. But since they would be spending every day together from now on, Li Yao didn't think much of it.
Da Zhuang's eyes lit up as he scanned the entire house. Finally, he skillfully installed surveillance cameras in hidden corners of the doorway, living room, kitchen, master bedroom, storage room, and gym. He then took out a small, cube-shaped, cat-like device, connected it to the living room's Wi-Fi, and after some adjustments, connected a tablet to check the camera feed. He then told Li Yao, "Master, Da Zhuang has installed it. There will be an alarm if someone tries to intrude, and Da Zhuang will also be able to sense it."
Seeing Dazhuang's expression of seeking praise, Li Yao said, "Dazhuang is great, let's go back to the office building."
So Li Yao took Dazhuang back to the office building, where Dazhuang continued to replace the hard drive. It would be finished downloading everything in another half month, and then Dazhuang would be free.
"Ding-dong, your reserved Deluxe Presidential Suite at the XG Peninsula Hotel has been cleaned and is ready for your stay. Welcome! I am your personal butler, Liu Jie. Please feel free to contact me if you require airport pick-up or other services. Have a pleasant stay!"
When Li Yao saw the hotel information, she was a little impatient. The temperature in XG is around 22°C all year round, so she can wear a skirt. Li Yao found her shorts and T-shirt in [Infinite Space], changed into them, and was ready with a small GUCCI bag. She didn't take any luggage, since she was planning to go shopping, why would she need to carry luggage?
Li Yao told the system, "[6834, find a secluded spot near the Peninsula Hotel]."
The system replied: "Okay, host, we have located the Peninsula Hotel's underground parking lot for you."
Seeing that the system panel showed a safety passage in the underground parking lot that was a blind spot for surveillance, Li Yao set her location to the [Teleportation Door], opened the door, and went inside.
"System, scan the surroundings and take over surveillance," Li Yao said to the system with her mind.
[Okay, host. The elevator is 5 meters to the right after you exit the emergency exit. There is no one around.] the system replied.
Li Yao exited through the emergency exit and took the elevator to the front desk on the first floor to check in. Guided by the front desk staff, she swiped her card to enter the private elevator on the 26th floor. The presidential suite here has a separate elevator lobby. Entering the living room through the double doors on one side of the lobby, Li Yao saw the double-height living room with its floor-to-ceiling windows and private terrace, with a view of Victoria Harbour across the way.
The interior design here blends classic and modern styles, featuring opulent bedrooms, dressing rooms, bathrooms, a gym, and a private cinema.
There were also fresh fruit platters and flowers on the tables in the living room and dining room.
Before Li Yao could even properly tour the place, she heard the doorbell ring.
When Li Yao opened the door, she saw a handsome man in his thirties standing there, dressed in a British-style suit and wearing white gloves.
"Hello Ms. Li Yao, I am your personal butler, Liu Jie. Welcome to your stay. This is the afternoon tea I have selected for you: eight kinds of desserts paired with Earl Grey tea, Hong Kong-style milk tea, and calamansi lemon iced water. I hope you enjoy your meal. Please press the call button if you need anything, and I will be at your service 24 hours a day."
As Liu Jie introduced the desserts, he placed them on the coffee table in the living room. Then, seeing that Liu Yao didn't seem to need anything, he bowed and left.
Li Yao checked the time; it was already 3 PM. She decided to finish clearing the buffet and tableware first, and then go shopping.
At 3:30, Li Yao finished her work and ate dessert, then rang the doorbell to call Liu Jie. Less than three minutes later, the doorbell rang, Li Yao said "Come in," and Liu Jie pushed the door open and came in.
Li Yao sat on the sofa and said, "I want to go shopping now. Arrange for two bodyguards to carry my things, a stylist to help me choose clothes, and a car to take me to the mall. The nearest large shopping plaza will do."
Liu Jie: "Okay, Ms. Li, we'll arrange it for you right away. Please wait a moment, and someone will come over in 5 minutes for you to choose."
