I Have a Five-star Seaside Hotel

"Brother Hai, aren't we cheating a bit too much?" 

At the bottom of the giant water slide in Mermaid City, Xiao Lang refilled his water gun while nervously asking Chen Jianhai.

"You set the rule that you need to complete four projects to unlock the hidden one. How can you go back on your word now?"

"...How is this cheating?!!"

"I'm just letting him experience it early!" 

Chen Jianhai argued stubbornly. "Don't you feel nostalgic for the Wizard Zombie Mummy Chaos Battle? Don't you yearn for it? Don't you want to play it??"

Hearing the words "Wizard Zombie Mummy Chaos Battle," not only Xiao Lang but even Xu Bo's eyes lit up.

Yes! 

Absolutely! 

After playing it last time, they couldn't stop thinking about it and wanted to go back several times, but the thought of waiting in line always held them back.

No matter how much people complained about the long lines at Magic Century Theme Park, the Wizard Zombie Mummy Chaos Battle was beyond reproach!

That AI project was truly amazing!While designing Lion Lake Hotel, Chen Jianhai had always been thinking about the Wizard Zombie Mummy Chaos Battle, so he spent a fortune to create a unique magical AI Chaos Battle for the Lion Lake Hotel amusement park.

Not for any other reason—just so he could play it to his heart's content whenever he wanted.

Unfortunately, the magical Chaos Battle at the Lion Lake Hotel amusement park required at least four players.

With only Chen Jianhai, Xiao Lang, and Xu Bo, they couldn't start the game and had to wait for other guests to join.

After asking around, Chen Jianhai found out that only one guest had completed three attractions in the amusement park so far.

So, he decided to unlock the hidden gate in advance for this lucky guest and sincerely invited them to join the final Chaos Battle.

The amusement park employee, under the boss's coercion, had no choice but to break the rules and inform Xiaoxiao.

"Alright... of course, it's fine!"

Xiaoxiao readily agreed.

Honestly, he had been curious about this hidden project for a long time. Being able to experience it early was definitely a bonus.

"But can I exchange for the mermaid ending first before going to play?" Xiaoxiao asked politely, holding up his three mermaid cards.

"Of course!" The amusement park employee enthusiastically replied. "Come, I'll take you there."

Walking on the ground paved with seashells and fine sand, the atmosphere and surroundings became more vivid and cheerful the further they went.

The once sorrowful mermaids that could be seen everywhere gradually blended into the blue foam, their expressions becoming lively, swaying like balloons beside the small houses, and faint singing voices could be heard.

Turning past the red starfish fountain,

A pearl-colored giant shell house appeared before Xiaoxiao.

The house had a unique design, with a large shell clasp as the roof, while its overall shape resembled a smooth, round conch. Below the conch, soft seaweed and various coral reefs grew, forming a small fence that protected the shell house.

Up close, the shell was adorned with colorful starfish and golden jellyfish, and faint blue wave patterns seemed to ripple across its surface.

At the round opening of the conch, a playful red fishtail peeked out, like a mischievous child sneaking back home while their parents weren't looking.

Through the cat-eye windows on the conch, a giant pearl-like chandelier could be seen softly glowing in the center of the room. Various underwater plants were arranged throughout, and in the middle of the room stood a large conch resembling a gramophone.

"What a beautiful princess room!!!"

"Everything inside is sparkling and shining, it's so beautiful!"

"Since mermaids love to sing, is this gramophone-like conch specially made for them to sing into?"

"I beg you, can we have a themed room like this?!"

"Right! Although the Wizard Astrology Room at Lion Lake Hotel is nice, Vikam's wizard house feels more atmospheric."

"Staying here, I feel like I'd turn into a little mermaid~ eek!"

The live stream audience exploded with excitement, and the comment section was almost overwhelming the screen.

Not just them—even Xiaoxiao, who usually had a rough personality, suddenly felt dreamy.

"Vikam, that guy, isn't a decent person,"

"How could he bear to kill such beautiful mermaids!"

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but click his tongue in disapproval.

With that, Xiaoxiao pulled out his phone without hesitation and took a bunch of selfies with the shell-conch-mermaid house. Once he was satisfied, he turned his attention to a nearby tomato-like house.

"Wow! The deep-sea pineapple house from SpongeBob was one thing, but here they've got a tomato house."

Xiaoxiao's eyelids twitched slightly, finally understanding the hotel boss's occasional questionable taste in aesthetics.

Although the service here was excellent, the employees were incredibly enthusiastic, doing everything they could to meet customers' needs,

When it came to profit-driven attractions like this, the hotel boss had clearly racked his brain and shamelessly pushed the limits of design.

Take this tomato house, for example.

If the boss had designed it in ocean blue, with clownfish decorations, Xiaoxiao would have probably just ignored it, treating it as an ordinary little house in Mermaid City.

But this blazing red tomato, topped with green leaves, sitting in a sea of blue—

This discomfort!

This rebellion!!

This defiance!!!

This shamelessness!!!!

Instantly grabs your attention, practically shouting in your ear:"This is a theme shop, come the hell in and take a look!"

And at the entrance of the tomato house,

There indeed stood—

A tall, burly man dressed in a sleek mermaid outfit, waving at him and staring intently:

"Hello, Wizard!!!"

"Do you need any supplies?"

Xiaoxiao quickly replied, "Hello!"

"I have three mermaid cards. Can I exchange them for souvenirs here?"

With that, Xiaoxiao handed the three mermaid cards to the "mermaid employee."

The "mermaid employee" glanced at the cards and enthusiastically said, 

"Congratulations on bravely collecting the three divine artifacts to calm the mermaids and the sea god's wrath. You have unlocked the mermaid's final hidden ending."

After saying this, the "mermaid employee" pulled out a beautifully crafted robe from below.

This robe was similar in style to the Star-Moon Wizard Robe that Xiaoxiao was wearing, but the color and fabric were different.It was entirely woven from blue and silver threads that shimmered like fish scales, adorned with mermaid and bubble patterns.

And right at the most eye-catching spot on the robe, a 1,498 yuan price tag was neatly placed—almost daring you to complain about being ripped off.

"Is this robe included with the ending?"

Even though he knew it was unlikely, Xiaoxiao still held onto a sliver of hope and asked.

"Sorry, Wizard, the mermaid ending is free, but this robe requires payment."

The "mermaid employee" mercilessly replied.

"The brave knight obtained the Sea God's Trident and the Siren's Potion, finally opening the gate to the sea in Dragon Valley, allowing the dead mermaids to turn into foam and return to the ocean."

"This is the mermaids' final ending."

The "mermaid employee's" voice echoed.

"Tsk! Old man Vikam isn't cutting it. How could he let the knight win?!"

"Exactly!"

"A dark wizard who caused such chaos in the sea just let the knight take the three sacred artifacts?"

"There's a bug in this story!"

Hearing this ending, the live stream audience wasn't happy.

Based on the earlier settings of Crazy Wizard City and Flame Knight City, the mermaids' ending should have been eternal suffering on land. How could they suddenly turn into foam and return to the sea?

Vikam's character is ruined!

"Can you all calm down?! Don't forget there's still Dreamland Elf City in the amusement park!"

"There's one last part of the story we haven't triggered yet. There must be something in Elf City that we don't know!"

"Right, the person above makes sense!"

"Besides, are you even human?!"

"Let the poor mermaids return to the sea after death. Isn't that nice?"

As the final 'Dreamland Elf City' storyline approached, the live stream audience began making wild predictions.

"I bet Vikam must have fallen into the hands of the elves."

"No way… Elves are always tragically beautiful—good at archery but terrible in close combat."

"Wouldn't that be a perfect match? Wizards are also long-range attackers!"

"Two long-range ambush specialists meeting? They'd definitely clash!"

"I suddenly have high expectations for Dreamland Elf City!! It must be amazing."

"Me too!!"

While the live stream audience was buzzing with excitement, Xiaoxiao had already pulled out 1,498 yuan and decisively bought the mermaid robe.

Since I'm here!

If I don't collect a set of themed outfits, it would be a disservice to my glorious battle record of repeatedly passing out and waking up on the catapult chair!

"Now only Dreamland Elf City is left!"

"I wonder what kind of entrance it will have."

"I'm a little excited!!"

All the viewers stared intently at the screen, afraid to miss a single moment.

But just then, Xiaoxiao suddenly said:

"Brothers, I just received a notification from the hotel amusement park—I've been selected as a special guest and have unlocked the park's hidden project."

"So, next, I'll check out the hidden project first, and then head to Dreamland Elf City later."

The live stream audience: ???

We were here discussing the plot, getting all hyped—And now you're off to a hidden project?!

It's like I cracked open an ice-cold Coke, ready to enjoy some spicy hot pot, and you handed me a chive pancake instead.

Sure, it's also delicious, but it just feels off.

Even though many were itching to see Elf City's storyline, the Lion Lake Hotel's hidden project was equally intriguing.

So, the group enthusiastically followed Xiaoxiao's phone as he continued exploring the amusement park.

As he walked, Xiaoxiao suddenly paused, his attention caught by two transparent display shelves on the street.

The two shelves were placed side by side.

The left shelf held portable chargers with various themed designs, while the right shelf contained small blind box-style packages.

Each small box had the golden lion logo of Lion Lake Hotel, and from the outside, it was impossible to tell what was inside.

"Sir, are you looking to rent a charger?" The amusement park employee asked enthusiastically.

Xiaoxiao nodded.

His phone had been live streaming since he entered the park. While there was still some battery left, it was clearly draining fast and could die at any moment.

The upcoming hidden project was unknown, and he wasn't sure how long it would take. To be safe, renting a charger was the best choice.

At the charger station, Xiaoxiao decisively chose the black Star-Moon Wizard-themed charger, then pointed at the blind box shelf and asked:"Are these blind boxes?"

The amusement park employee replied, "Yes, sir."

"These are exclusive Lion Lake Hotel amusement park themed blind boxes. Inside, you can find characters and items from the four theme parks, all personally designed by our boss."

"To satisfy customers' desire to own their favorite characters and props,"

"Each theme park's blind box will mainly feature characters and items from that theme, with a 10% chance of getting a rare blind box from other theme parks."

"In short, no matter what you pull, it's worth it!"

The amusement park employee smiled warmly, not pushing him to buy, but making him feel like he'd regret not getting one.

Xiaoxiao was surprised.

This amusement park is so thoughtful!

If he liked the Wizard City theme, he could specifically pull blind boxes in Crazy Wizard City.

That way, not only could he get his favorite characters and props, but he also had a chance to pull a rare blind box from other parks. It really was a great deal!

Looking at the price—128 yuan.

...Hmm.

Xiaoxiao showed a conflicted expression.

The price wasn't exactly cheap, but compared to the 88-yuan freshly squeezed seaweed juice, it wasn't too bad.

For someone who had spent over 5,000 yuan to stay at Lion Lake Hotel, this was affordable. The only question was the quality of the items inside.

Following the principle of trying new things,Xiaoxiao still scanned the code and randomly picked a blind box, planning to open it after finishing the amusement park.

After buying the blind box, Xiaoxiao followed the amusement park employee forward.

As they walked, he frowned slightly and asked:"Aren't we going to the hidden project? But ahead is clearly the way to Crazy Wizard City."

As the first attraction in the amusement park, Xiaoxiao had a deep impression of Wizard City.

Aside from the Wizard's Scales, Wizard's Crystal Ball, and Wizard's Pocket Watch, there weren't really any other fun attractions.

Seeing Xiaoxiao's confusion, the amusement park employee cheerfully explained:

"Our hidden project is determined based on the visitor's identity. Since you're wearing a wizard robe, you'll enter the game through the Wizard City entrance."

"This is all personally arranged by our boss."

With that, the amusement park employee magically pushed open a seemingly abandoned wooden door on the street—And led Xiaoxiao inside.
