Chapter 113
When the official notice came out, everyone was shocked.
Many people left messages below, asking what exactly happened, but the usually aloof official ignored them and did not respond at all.
However, the direct beneficiaries this time are those working people. After their colleagues asked for leave one after another, the boss came out and told them about the holiday.
Because it was the first holiday, and the incident happened suddenly, the upper management only had three days off in total. But many people were in a very good mood because they got these three days off for free.
Especially after learning that the holiday was due to China Paradise, a group of people suddenly came into Song Yuxing's live broadcast room.
[I'm a passerby, coming over to say thank you. Thanks to Sister Ling, we're able to have a day off. I'm already thinking about where to go for the next three days.]
[Fellow traveler +1, I'm already home, lying on the sofa happily watching the live broadcast. I hope China Paradise will have more festivals like this in the future. Wouldn't that mean I could have a day off every once in a while? That would be awesome.]
[Wow, what did I see? Sister Ling, you've made it big! You've even been officially mentioned and upgraded to an SSS-level park. If I remember correctly, this is the first SSS-level park in existence, right? I'm so excited!]
Oh my god, if it were back when the park first opened, I would have never imagined it would one day be upgraded to SSS. Now I'm so shocked I'm jumping around at home. I don't know what to say.
[The above is just an upgrade to SSS level, is it so shocking? ]
[You probably haven't heard of the Paradise promotion mechanism, right? Generally, existing Paradises top out at SS level. From SS level up, advancement is based less on popularity and more on contribution to the Federation. That's why we're so surprised.]
"I see. So what exactly did this park owner do? He was S-rank before, and now he's been promoted two levels. He must have made a huge contribution, otherwise why would the authorities make such an extraordinary promotion?"
[I don't know. I'm also curious about what Sister Ling did, but this kind of thing is usually confidential, so I don't think Sister Ling would tell me.]
…
The comments in the live broadcast room were quite agitated. Song Yuxing only realized what had happened after he returned to his room and pasted the paper-cuts and the word "Fu" (good fortune). He was reminded by Little Whale.
At first, she was a little unresponsive when she heard the news, but after a few seconds, she guessed that there must be progress in the matter that she asked the main brain to convey the message last time.
Many people in the upper class seemed normal, but in fact they had been parasitized. After she discovered this, she asked the main brain to inform them for her.
I thought it would take a long time for her to know the follow-up progress of this matter, but I didn't expect the result to come so quickly.
She briefly blocked the live broadcast room and then called the main brain in a low voice.
"Is the mastermind here? What's the situation over there?" she asked.
The main brain may have been paying attention to her, so it soon appeared in front of her.
But what it can say is also very limited. "I can only say that since they can proactively upgrade your park, it means the situation is not bad."
It was spoken vaguely, but Song Yuxing understood it immediately.
She felt relieved. "That's good, but didn't I ask you to submit it anonymously? How did they know me?"
Mastermind: "My highest key is in the hands of the highest person, so basically I can't hide anything."
"Well, I thought I could hide it well." She was a little depressed. If she had known that she couldn't hide her identity, she should have thought twice before asking the main brain for help.
After all, this involves confidential matters and covers a wide range of areas, so we must be cautious no matter what.
But what happened happened, and the result is good.
She completely relaxed and reached out to turn off the shield after understanding what was going on.
"By the way, there's something I haven't told you." At the last second before withdrawing, the main brain's voice suddenly sounded.
It specially used an encrypted channel, and only she and the little whale could hear the sound.
In a space filled with data, the main brain quietly looked at the girl in front of it.
It was a perfectly normal day for the Mastermind.
It processes various data on the star network every moment and monitors people's various behaviors. It used to be tired of this, but in the end it chose to protect the human home for hundreds of years day after day.
As a different race, it has come to deeply understand the complexity of human beings, their darkness, and their kindness over the past few hundred years. It has watched the Federation being established in decadence, prospering step by step, and then becoming dangerously collapsed due to a mental breakdown.
To be honest, after being the main brain for a long time, it really wants to try what it is like to interact with people.
But perhaps this expectation is destined to be wishful thinking.
So it began to work for humans silently again, and the days passed by boringly one after another.
It didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but the moment it saw the girl, it suddenly felt a sense of relief.
After a long period of time, someone finally stood up to communicate with it and trade with it.
It felt extremely happy, and a joyful emotion appeared in its silent data, and it felt more alive.
It thought that both the girl and the little whale were very important to it.
Therefore, realizing this, it specially expressed its blessings to its friends on this day.
"Happy New Year." A clear smile appeared in the electronic voice, "My friends."
The green data string was jumping wildly after saying this.
Although it cannot show up, it is always by its friends' side.
Promises always work.
Song Yuxing was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on her face, which was very nice.
"Happy New Year to you too." She smiled with her eyes curved.
The mastermind is gone.
The blocking had been removed a few seconds earlier. Everyone in the live broadcast room was wondering why she suddenly stopped talking, but then they heard her say Happy New Year.
They realized almost instantly that it was Song Yuxing who was talking to their friend, but that didn't stop them from responding.
[Happy New Year, Sister Ling. Although I know you're not talking to me, I have to reply hahahaha.]
[Sister Ling is whispering behind our backs, and we want to hear it too!]
I just joined Sister Ling in pasting blessing characters. Needless to say, Chinese New Year is truly exhausting. Just cutting mushroom paper has already left my back and waist aching. But seeing the house ablaze with red, I'm truly feeling the Chinese New Year vibe.
…
Song Yut star looked at the comments and replied, "I was indeed just contacting a friend. It's not time for me to say Happy New Year to you yet. There are still many things to do in the evening. Don't forget that the park is not closed today. It will be open for three consecutive days."
In order to fit in with the New Year atmosphere, she changed many of the park's rules.
After she reminded them, everyone remembered this matter.
They asked her what else she was going to do that evening.
Song Yuxing casually said, "There are plenty. After dinner, we can go out and set off fireworks. The evening parade might be different. And all the attractions in the park will remain open during these three days. Anyone who wants to play can go directly."
The audience in the live broadcast room sighed: [I don’t mean to say that Sister Ling is really the most generous park owner. These three days are really a lot of benefits. ]
Song Yuxing was very confident about this. "That's true. After all, the money is just sitting there anyway, so why not use it to benefit everyone?"
Besides, this time's expenses only took up less than one-tenth of her savings, so taking a little out as welfare wouldn't be a big deal.
She smiled and said, "I also want to share the joy of the New Year with everyone."
It would be so boring to celebrate the New Year alone.
Everyone: !!! Oops, this smile really hits my heart.
The barrage of comments scrolled even more crazily, and many people took advantage of being on Starnet to shamelessly shout "wife".
There were sudden knocks on the door. Song Yuxing went forward to open it and found that the person coming was Lu Zhi.
"Get ready for dinner," he said.
"knew."
Song Yuxing nodded slightly and walked some distance to the side of Lu Zhi. They chatted and after a few minutes they saw the food placed in the yard.
Originally, dinner was to be eaten in the room, but Lu Zefeng and Yin Chao liked the scenery of the mansion very much and strongly requested to eat in the courtyard of the main hall, where they could see the garden view.
No one thought there was anything wrong with it, so the location for dinner was decided.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when they had dinner. The sky was pitch black. There were flowers and grass planted in the corner of the yard. Beautiful lanterns of various shapes were hidden among these flowers and grass, adding color to the flowers and grass and making the atmosphere in the yard a little hazy.
Lu Zefeng liked this kind of environment very much. He stood in the yard and took several photos. He did not stop until his mother called him impatiently and sat down obediently in his seat.
The butler robot just brought out the last dish, which was a dish of raw marinated seafood.
"Wow, what a sumptuous dinner." Yin Chao exclaimed. He just counted and found that there were nearly thirteen dishes on the stone table.
He was shocked as he had never eaten such a grand dinner before.
"It's not that much, actually. Logically, there should be more dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, but we don't have enough time, so we have to make do with what we have."
Song Yuxing spoke calmly because she had seen better and more sumptuous New Year's Eve dinners, but it was different for others. They thought that what she said was too exaggerated.
The stone table is almost full of space for the dozen or so dishes now. If there were more dishes, it would be truly jaw-dropping.
There were ten people present, including the butler robot. They sat around a round table, and each person had a drink next to their bowl.
I feel like I need to say something at this time.
The four elders, Mr. and Mrs. Lu, Lin Wanxin and Yin Anyuan, looked at each other. Finally, Yin Anyuan coughed heavily a few times and raised the cup in his hand first.
"I have to say, this New Year's event has given me a huge shock, and it has left a lasting impression on me of the Chinese New Year. Well, since we're all very familiar with it, I won't say much more politely. Everyone, enjoy your food and drinks."
The elders clinked glasses with everyone. The drinks were carbonated soda, no alcohol. After everyone drank it all, they started to eat.
The elders were humble and the young ones couldn't help but pick up their chopsticks first. After tasting the fresh mushrooms, the first things the people who went to the beach to eat were seafood.
Song Yuxing chose the raw marinated seafood closest to her.
Because of the abundance of fish caught this time, there are a lot of things in the raw and marinated seafood.
She picked up a piece of crab and put it in the bowl.
This is not a whole crab. The butler robot cut it into two halves. The crab has been marinated for several hours, and the plump crab meat is clearly visible. With a little squeeze, the crystal clear crab meat overflows.
The red oil dipping sauce also slid down.
Song Yuxing couldn't wait to take a bite of the crab meat. It melted in her mouth. The freshly caught crab had no fishy smell at all. The sour and spicy dipping sauce added a touch of flavor to the crab meat.
It’s delicious!
This kind of raw marinated crab is difficult to pick up with chopsticks, so Song Yuxing put on disposable gloves and started to bite it directly, not even leaving out the meat on the crab legs.
He ate so much that his mouth was drooling.
Of course, in addition to raw marinated crabs, raw marinated shrimps are also included.
She took a shrimp of unknown species. The shrimp shell had been peeled off by the attentive butler robot, leaving only the red color covered with ingredients. She took a bite and the taste was crispy and soft. It was okay and she didn't hate it.
While eating, she gave a thumbs up to the butler robot sitting next to her.
"With your cooking skills, you can open a shop."
The smile on the butler robot's face was more sincere than ever. "Thank you for the compliment, Master. It's also thanks to the recipe you sent me that I was able to make such a meal."
As a robot, it also realized for the first time that Chinese civilization is so vast that even the dishes in it are countless.
It’s worthy of being China.
He is humble, but others don't think so.
The carefree Yin Chao was a little envious of Song Yuxing's good luck to have such an almighty awakened robot by his side.
The most important thing is that this robot was given to her as a gift when he sold her the house.
Thinking of this, his sourness almost materialized.
Why didn't the butler robot awaken when he was here?
The New Year's Eve dinner continued. In addition to raw and marinated seafood, the butler robot followed what Song Yuxing told him and prepared all kinds of big dishes.
Braised pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, corn and pork ribs soup, steamed pork with rice flour, boiled cabbage...
Thanks to its robotic talent, it can make any hard dish for you as long as you have a recipe.
Everyone can eat their fill with just the dishes, not to mention the rice that comes with it.
Song Yuxing would always choose rice when eating, otherwise she would always feel that the food was not full.
Today was no exception, and perhaps because she had relatives and friends around her, she ate one bowl more this time than before.
Even though the food in the paradise was fake and what she ate was her mental power, she was still very satisfied.
But she thought, maybe she could buy a piece of land, so that during the Chinese New Year next year, she could invite relatives and friends over and they would have real food to eat.
But if I remember correctly, many plants in this world have mutated, and the ingredients in the original world may not be available. Even if you buy land, you may not be able to eat anything.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Qin Shengmo.
Qin Shengmo immediately caught her gaze, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
"If you work harder and restore these Chinese ingredients, we can celebrate the New Year offline next year."
As soon as Song Yuxing said this, the people present hadn't reacted yet, but the people in the live broadcast room were the first to explode.
Does this mean they're going to open a physical store? Is the park going to open a physical store?
[Sister Ling, please beg me to be chosen next year. This year, my kids are already ravenous just watching you guys eat in the livestream.]
[Ahhh, is the theme park going to be a physical store? If it does, I'll definitely go and support it offline!]
Let me think about it. The mythology section of the park is not easy to replicate. I think we can build a Chang'an City offline. I'm sure many tourists would be willing to visit it.
[SS-level parks usually have their own offline physical locations, except for Sister Ling. Although she is already SSS-level, her upgrade speed is still too fast, so she still has no physical location.]
【What should I do? I'm already looking forward to it! 】
…
Everyone was discussing it heatedly, and many people had already begun to imagine what the Song Yuxing physical project would look like.
This made Song Yuxing feel a little amused and helpless.
Qin Shengmo said, "In fact, our research institute has already started replicating Chinese ingredients some time ago, but I don't know when the results will be available. If it's next year, I don't think it will be possible. You should wait a little longer."
Research cannot be completed in a short period of time.
Song Yuxing was a little surprised. "You are so foresighted that you have already started researching. I am not in a hurry. You can take your time. But it would be best if you can get results."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the live broadcast room and found that the comments were still discussing the entity. Then she said helplessly: "Don't worry, if you really want to build a physical entity, it may not be built. I can only say that I will try my best."
As she spoke she sighed.
This New Year is really unbearable. If I remember correctly, she seemed to have taken on a lot of work for herself today. I guess after the New Year, I will be busy like a top.
What surrounding areas, what project updates, and building offline entities.
Help.
Please spare me.
She only said this once, and then she ignored everything and stopped reading the comments, just focused on eating.
The meal took about an hour, and it was almost time for the float parade, so everyone packed up and walked slowly to the main road of Chang'an City.
While waiting for the float to arrive, fine snow suddenly began to fall from the sky. It wasn't big, but the snowflakes were very beautiful in the dark night.
Other tourists lined up on both sides of the main line early, chatting and laughing while waiting.
The float parade arrived at this time.
There was a huge sedan chair in this parade, but the difference was that the upper part of this sedan chair was completely exposed to the air, with only a veil covering the surrounding area, and it was pulled in front by two Bai Ze.
On the sedan chair, an extremely beautiful girl sat inside. She tapped her slender fingers lightly, and countless star-like fluorescent lights fell.
The fluorescence has different colors, and the tourists are half snowflakes and half stars, as if they are in a mythical wonderland.
What a beautiful scene.
Everyone was immersed in it, and suddenly Yin Chao shouted, "I suddenly remembered that we forgot to wear New Year's clothes."
Song Yuxing came back to her senses instantly. She clapped her hands and said, "I forgot. I told you something was wrong."
It turned out that I forgot to change into the clothes I got as a reward for the event.
"Let's go now. We've almost finished watching the parade. How about we go back and change our clothes before setting off the fireworks?"
Song Yuxing's proposal was quickly agreed upon by everyone. It was getting late, so they went home together and changed into new clothes.
Although they had been busy all day, the elders took a break in the afternoon and are now all very energetic, not to mention the young ones. Yin Chao and Lu Zefeng were so excited after hearing that they were going to set off fireworks. It seems that they will be very energetic for a short time.
They carried a box of fireworks, looked around for a while, and finally decided to set them off near the Chang'an city wall.
That is the highest place in the whole Chang'an. It is not blocked by other buildings and looks better.
A box of fireworks is still a bit heavy. In order to consume the energy of the two Huskies, everyone gave this difficult task to Yin Chao and Lu Zefeng.
Their faces were covered with sweat.
There were not many people on the city wall. They found a corner and set off the fireworks. After Yin Chao lit the fuse, he immediately ran over quickly.
The next second, countless fireworks bloomed, and brilliant fireworks appeared in the dark sky.
The fireworks burned for half an hour before they ended, and all that was left were some fairy wands in our hands.
Song Yuxing had a lot of fun, and before she knew it, it was 12 o'clock.
A huge bell rang in Chang'an City.
More fireworks appeared in the sky, and tourists in the distance cheered.
"Happy New Year."
At some point, Lu Zhi stood beside her, and the two of them were sitting away from the crowd.
"Happy New Year." Song Yuxing said with a smile.
The man fell silent. She turned her head to look at him and found that he seemed a little nervous.
The two of them just admired the long sound of fireworks in silence for a while, and no one spoke.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Lu Zhi mustered up the courage. He turned his head to look at her, his eyes sparkling against the backdrop of the fireworks.
He suddenly asked, "Can I pursue you?"
Song Yuxing didn't say anything.
As if it was a silent rejection, the man's eyes darkened instantly.
Just as he was thinking about how to change the subject, Song Yuxing spoke.
"OK."
Her voice was very soft, but Lu Zhi caught it immediately.
His breathing immediately became heavier, and he asked tentatively, "So, you agreed?"
Song Yuxing's tone was very cheerful at this moment, and the man only heard her chuckle.
"Half and half, during the probation period."
The uneasy heart calmed down, and the originally tense mood suddenly relaxed.
If there were someone else here, they would notice that the man had a very bright smile on his face.
He didn't say anything else, but just quietly approached her, and then gently and carefully took her hand.
Feeling the warm touch on his hand, Song Yuxing did not struggle.
She smiled as she looked at the fireworks blooming in the distance.
The timing is right and the future is bright.
