I Tied Up the Travel Check-In System - Chapter 17

After hanging up the phone, Tang Siqi was even more confused.

She had already been ranked first in the WeChat Moments exercise for five consecutive days. She only needed to keep doing it for two more days to unlock all kinds of delicious desserts.

She looked at the food items on sale today with tears in her eyes.

The signature mango sticky rice cake and the signature durian sticky rice cake of a certain five-star hotel…

only cost 10 gold coins.

Oh!

I can’t even exchange them.

If I fail today, wouldn’t all my efforts be wasted?

The next time I see a cream cake or Haagen-Dazs, I will still have to pass by with tears in my eyes.

Tang Siqi clenched her fists. She couldn’t bear it!

Xu Qianning had already prepared dinner, and Tang Siqi quickly resolved the battle.

Luo Junbao looked at her curiously: “Tang Siqi, are you going out again?”

Tang Siqi nodded: “Yes!”

“Where are you going to play today?” Junbao really wanted to know.

Tang Siqi felt like crying at the mention of this. “No, I’m not going anywhere. I haven’t even reached enough steps today, not even as many as you.”

Luo Junbao looked up at the sky: “Oh… then you go.”

She glanced at her father. He’d already reached 24,000 steps. He really didn’t leave her any chance of survival…

To avoid her father getting angry and trying to steal the lead, Tang Siqi turned off the internet again, threw herself out of her mind, and began walking.

An hour and a half later, Tang Siqi’s steps had barely reached 20,000. She put her hands on her hips, panting.

Ugh… so tired…

To avoid her father’s sudden outburst, she added a few thousand steps, finally reaching 28,000 before returning home exhausted.

After reopening the data, she was indeed in first place!

And her father was in second, with his final step count only 24,000.

Tang Siqi set an alarm and fell asleep.

So exhausted!

The next morning, Tang Siqi was woken by her alarm. She turned it off and was about to go back to sleep when she remembered that she had agreed to go to Pudong for breakfast with Le Keke that morning.

After a struggle, she finally managed to get up before six o’clock.

She was brushing her teeth in front of the mirror while questioning her life.

She walked 28,000 steps last night, and got up before six o’clock today…

This kind of life…

Not long ago, she stayed up until three o’clock every night and slept until noon every day.

Tang Siqi spit out the mouthwash. Although she complained, she still had to eat the intangible cultural heritage mutton.

She wanted to see what the mutton that Le Keke praised so much tasted like.

At this time, even Luo Junbao was still asleep. Tang Siqi tiptoed out of the door and ran into Le Keke as soon as she went downstairs.

“Hahaha, I was just about to call you. I thought you couldn’t get up.”

“You’re not going to get up now? How are we going to get there?”

“It’s a bit late at this time. Let’s take a taxi.”

Taking a taxi…

Tang Siqi felt a pang of pain.

But Pudong is not far, and the fare should be shared by the two of them.

With this thought in mind, Tang Siqi got into a taxi, and then she watched the meter on the taxi go from twenty to thirty, then to forty and fifty.

“Why, why aren’t we there yet?”

Le Keke touched her nose and smiled awkwardly, “Ah… I haven’t been there either.”

The taxi driver said, “Almost.”

In the end…

the two of them spent over seventy yuan on the fare before finally reaching their destination.

Tang Siqi was outraged: “Didn’t you say it was in Pudong? Where are we now?”

Le Keke felt guilty: “Maybe my information was wrong. This is Minhang District…”

Well, the money was already spent, what else could Tang Siqi say?

“Is this the right place?”

Le Keke checked the navigation and said, “It’s just up ahead!”

The two walked a few steps according to the navigation and saw a shop that was doing very good business. The other snack stalls on the street seemed to be closed, but this one was not only open, but also packed.

“I knew we had to take a taxi, didn’t I?” Le Keke’s eyes lit up at the brisk business. “Look, with so much business, the food here must be superb!”

Tang Siqi took a look. Sure enough, the business was good, but it seemed a little less than she’d expected.

Had she come all this way here only to find it all gone?

Tang Siqi entered the shop with a trepidation.

“What would you two like to eat, young ladies?” the owner greeted enthusiastically.

Le Keke quickly found a seat and went to order. “Boss, we’d like a large portion of lamb and two servings of lamb offal soup.”

“Our scallion oil noodles are pretty good, too. Want to try them?”

Le Keke glanced at Tang Siqi. Tang Siqi looked around, saw others ordering scallion oil noodles, and it looked promising, so she nodded.

“Then we’ll both try a bowl of noodles first. If it’s good, we’ll order more.”

“Okay,”

the owner agreed, deftly chopping the lamb.

After the dish was served, Tang Siqi was a little surprised. It turned out that the mutton here was boiled. She had never tried boiled mutton before, so it seemed like a good idea to try.

However, the seasoning seemed to consist only of green onions and soy sauce, which was a bit too simple.

Tang Siqi picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it in soy sauce, and put it in her mouth.

What she didn’t expect was that this seemingly unremarkable boiled mutton was unexpectedly delicious.

What was going on with this crystal-like, chewy, soft and tender texture?

Tang Siqi observed the mutton carefully. The fat part of the mutton was translucent, but it didn’t taste at all muttony or greasy. Instead, it was incredibly smooth, and the rich aroma of mutton could be tasted right away.

“Is it delicious?” Le Keke looked at Tang Siqi expectantly.

Tang Siqi nodded and gave an affirmative answer: “Delicious!”

As they sat in the restaurant eating, many customers began to arrive.

“Boss, business is booming.”

“Hahaha, peak hours are over.”

“Huh? It’s only 7 o’clock and it’s already past peak hours? When are your peak hours?”

“We open at 3:30, and we get the most customers around 4 o’clock.”

Tang Siqi was shocked: “…”

This restaurant is truly amazing. She had initially thought the two of them might not be able to finish the large portion of lamb they ordered, but she hadn’t expected their incredible fighting power. The entire plate of lamb was gone in no time.

Then, they washed down the scallion oil noodles with the lamb offal soup, and before they knew it, they were full.

Tang Siqi sighed: “Actually, I wanted to order another portion… but unfortunately, I can’t eat anymore.”

Le Keke was also not satisfied, and looked at Tang Siqi eagerly: “Look, we ran so far, and we only ate so little, it’s really a bit of a loss, how about we pack up a portion and share half a portion each?”

Tang Siqi shook her head: “No, half a portion is not enough, I have to pack up a portion, there are two people at home.”

“Then you pack up an extra large portion and give me some, and I’ll give you money.”

“Okay.”

So the two of them finished their meal, packed up another portion, and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Tang Siqi thought that she didn’t check in yesterday, and this mutton restaurant is not bad today, why not give it a try?

She opened her phone to check in.

[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully checked in for “Brother Huang’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Lamb”, rated A, the system rewards you with 24 hours of health value, 100 gold coins, total wealth 337 gold coins, and remaining health value: 97 hours.

Now that your gold coin count exceeds 1,000, you can spend 500 gold coins to open a second city check-in. Would you like to do it now?

Tang Siqi chose no.

Why open a second city? Wouldn’t Shanghai be great?

There’s so much delicious food and fun here; she hasn’t had enough.

Another A-level check-in completed, and yesterday’s online post actually earned 680 gold coins. The likes, shares, and replies have noticeably increased.

Great!

On their way back, Tang Siqi and Le Keke took the bus to the nearest subway station, then transferred to the subway.

Le Keke went back to school to catch up on some sleep, while Tang Siqi returned home.

Tang Siqi, also wanting to catch up on some sleep, lay down and checked the gold coin mall.

“Oh my god!”

Today’s Gold Coin Mall is super exciting!

Food: A 2.5kg king crab, originally priced at 1800 yuan, is now available for 500 gold coins.

Home Appliances: A tabletop dishwasher, originally priced at 4000 yuan, is now available for 1000 gold coins.

Electronics: A well-known brand’s thin and light high-performance laptop, originally priced at 5000 yuan, is now available for 1500 gold coins.

Ahhhhh!

This is too exciting!

Why…

Tang Siqi was just lamenting that her gold coin balance is now over a thousand, and then something so exciting happened.

Oh, oh, oh… I’m so poor, why are my gold coins so few…

What should I do… Which one should I choose?

King crab, of course, I want it!

But a dishwasher looks pretty cool too!

Although our current place is too small to accommodate a dishwasher, Dad has been nagging about wanting one for a long time. After all, Mom cooks and he washes the dishes.

Not to mention a thin, high-performance laptop. She bought it when she was a freshman, and it should have been retired long ago. It’s slow, and sometimes the software freezes and crashes while she’s working on a graphic. It’s not a frequent occurrence, but the loss of a drawing still infuriates her.

Only children make choices; she wants all three!!!

Tang Siqi rolled over in bed, wanting them all, but she didn’t have enough coins…

These days, an A-level check-in only earns 100 coins, and A-levels are hard to come by, and anything below that earns even less.

Drawing and posting online are actually good ways to earn coins. Yesterday’s post actually earned 680 coins today. So cool!

But even if she draws and posts today, it’s too late; the coins won’t be paid until tomorrow morning.

Sob, sob, is there no other way?

Tang Siqi lay in bed, feeling hopeless, wondering if she’d just have to give up one of them and find a way to earn some more coins. At least she could keep two.

Her phone buzzed.

Tang Siqi clicked on it and saw a message from the app.

[Limited-time offer! If the host activates check-in privileges for a second city now, the original 500 gold coins activation fee will be reduced to 300 gold coins for a limited time. The host will also receive a triple gold coin card, valid for 48 hours. Also: Today’s promotion will remain valid until the end of the validity period.]
