Chapter 26 Public Carriage: It Comes with Its Own Driver and Delivers It to Your Door
[Host, are you happy? You've become a mission-harvesting machine today, reaping a huge harvest of prizes!]
It wasn't until the system returned to its usual somewhat unserious tone that Bai Mengran snapped out of her daze, from the various reward announcements it was broadcasting.
Unexpectedly, she completed so many tasks in just half a day by simply organizing a milk tea tasting event. Could this be considered a lucky accident?
It seems we'll have to find ways to organize various activities and attract more traffic in the future!
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and Bai Mengran is already very satisfied with such results.
"Hmph, I'm very happy. Little Commander, you must have earned quite a few mission points today, right?"
Bai Mengran remembered that the system had said that the competition between their systems was based on the ranking of task points.
[Yeah, yeah! I completed 8 tasks today and gained 80 points in value! Awesome, host!!! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o]
The system was overjoyed at the mention of this, as the points it earned today would allow it to surpass the system ranked ahead of it!
It's well known that advancing even one rank in the competition between top-tier systems is incredibly difficult; it certainly wasn't wrong about its host!
[By the way, host, because you exceeded your task requirements today, I've secured you a special lottery entry!]
It cannot miss out on any of the benefits it should fight for its host, and it absolutely cannot let its beloved host suffer any loss.
"Oh? A lottery..."
Upon hearing that such a good thing existed, Bai Mengran thought that even though she didn't know what it entailed, something was better than nothing.
So she started making all sorts of winks and gestures at the system.
"System, you're a mature system now, you should know about lotteries... there's always some underhanded stuff involved, you know what I mean!"
System: ∑(O_O;)…
Damn it! It really knows... and it seems quite skilled at it...
It pretended not to understand what you were saying, attempting to change the subject. [Host, would you like to activate the special lottery?]
"Yes! You draw it for me! It's time to see how you do, I believe in you~"
Ran quickly shifted the blame to the system, seeing if it would accept it.
[...A special lottery has been activated for the host; random draw in progress...]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have won 5 limited edition luxury double-decker electric carriages, 5 exclusive AI coachmen, and 5 carriage-specific charging stations.]
The carriage can freely enter and exit the "Fairyland" and the outside world, and all carriages have been integrated into the Anshun Kingdom's full map navigation system.
Each carriage can seat 8 people per deck, with a maximum capacity of 16 passengers. After the upgrade, its top speed reaches 500 km/h, and it can travel continuously for 24 hours on a full charge. The carriage and AI driver can be charged as a single unit, requiring only two hours to fully charge.
The system, which had just finished broadcasting the announcement, was also a little stunned. What kind of luck did the host have? It hadn't even had a chance to make a move yet, and the host had already won one of the rarest prizes.
Why is it that when it participated in the system lottery last time, it only won a pair of white stockings that were completely useless to it, while the host won a luxury carriage on the first try? Why is there such a big difference in luck between humans and the system...?
Sigh, I'm envious, but not jealous or resentful!
"Wow, that sounds amazing! This system's lottery is really clever; it even knows how to adapt to the era! Knowing it's ancient times, it even specially gave out a carriage!"
Bai Mengran was both excited and thrilled after hearing the system's explanation.
With public carriages available, there's no need to worry about not having passengers, and they're even electric!
Today has truly been a fruitful day. In high spirits, Bai Mengran is now full of energy and enthusiasm.
She figured that no matter how well she planned, she still needed to hurry up and unlock more stores.
Even after getting off work, Bai Mengran was still diligently engaging in in-depth exchanges and communication with the system regarding work rewards and future planning.
Meanwhile, after leaving the "Fairyland," Madam Yuan, seeing that it was almost time for the academy to close, hurriedly boarded a carriage and ordered the driver to head straight for Wanlu Academy. After picking up her youngest son, Yuanbao, she immediately rushed to the Yuan residence.
The carriage ran non-stop the whole way, and Yuanbao, sitting in the carriage, kept sniffing the air the whole way.
A continuous stream of delicious aromas wafted from the bags that Madam Yuan had packed, creating a fragrant loop within the limited space of the carriage.
Yuan Youyuan, who was already completely captivated by the aroma, repeatedly suggested that he try it first, but his mother ruthlessly rejected him each time.
The carriage was swaying precariously, and it would be such a waste if the food were spilled. Therefore, Madam Yuan only allowed him to eat after returning to the mansion.
In fact, Yuan Youyuan had already heard about the food sold at this magical shop when he was studying at the academy today.
Su Yingying would mention it to everyone she met at the academy, and through word of mouth, new terms such as "fairyland," "convenience store," "oden," and "milk tea" spread throughout Wanlu Academy.
In the academy, apart from a small group of scholars who were solely focused on studying the classics, the majority of the students were just empty-headed pedants.
They were immediately captivated by the descriptions and couldn't wait to follow Su Yingying to explore the "Fairyland."
Unfortunately, Master Shang of the academy once again went overtime today, and punished the students for not paying attention in class by making them copy and recite books. He assigned homework that would be tested on them tomorrow, and those who could not recite would be punished with a ruler and their hands slapped.
Having received the tickets from Su Yingying, the group had no choice but to postpone their plans. After discussing it, they decided to go again tomorrow and go home early today to study diligently.
Yuanbao, as the top foodie in the academy, has his chubby, round body as his badge of honor.
He was also the first to receive a ticket from Su Yingying. When it comes to food, who wouldn't think of him first?
However, to Yuanbao's surprise, the food he thought he was destined to miss today actually appeared on his own carriage.
Madam Yuan kept asking Yuanbao about the interesting things that happened at the academy during the day, but Yuanbao had no interest in these things at all.
After rushing for a while, they finally arrived at the gate of the Yuan residence. Before the carriage had even come to a complete stop, Yuanbao jumped off in one swift motion, his round body staggering a couple of steps on the ground due to the enormous inertia.
He didn't care at all. As soon as he got off the carriage, he hurriedly told the maids to take the bags of food to the kitchen.
Madam Yuan originally wanted to wait for her husband Yuan Lin and eldest son Yuan Youtong to return to the mansion before enjoying these delicacies together, but seeing Yuanbao's anxious look, she knew he definitely couldn't wait any longer, so she had no choice but to instruct the maid to take out some of the food from the bag and give it to Yuanbao to eat.
Yuanbao, whose appetite had been whetted, could finally feast to his heart's content. He had a big appetite and ate quickly.
He kept saying "Delicious!" and "So delicious!" and finished a big bowl of oden and two grilled sausages in no time. Then, still wanting more, he drank bubble tea and savored the taste of the food he had just eaten.
Because he ate so fast, the food was already in his stomach before he even had a chance to taste it. Yuanbao hadn't had enough and wanted to grab more from the bag.
However, Madam Yuan immediately stopped him, instructing him that the rest could only be shared when the whole family was gathered for dinner.
Seeing that he had no hope of stealing a bite, Yuanbao had no choice but to slow down his drinking of milk tea, taking small sips slowly, hoping to drink it for a little longer.
Looking at Yuanbao's already round belly, which now seemed even rounder, Madam Yuan sighed silently and shook her head helplessly.
She just couldn't control her little glutton. He'd been drinking more milk than anyone else since he was a baby, but thankfully he was chubby and fair-skinned, which made him quite adorable.
Oh well, they can afford to support him anyway, let him eat whatever he wants.
