I Tied Up the Travel Check-In System - Chapter 22

The girl rubbed her legs and struggled to her feet. After removing her skis, she helped Tang Siqi up.

She then said, “Look, we’re both so inexperienced, we probably can’t even get into the ski resort. I think it’s quite dangerous. How about we hire a coach? I asked, and they charge 100 yuan an hour, and they can take two people at a time. We can share, and each costs 50 yuan, which saves a bit.”

Tang Siqi thought this was a good idea and admired the girl’s courage. She wouldn’t have dared to ask for a coach.

“Okay, I’ll compete with you,” Tang Siqi nodded.

“Great! To be honest, this is the second time I’ve fallen. Hahahaha!” The girl couldn’t help but laugh.

Tang Siqi laughed too, having essentially fallen herself today.

They quickly became familiar with each other, and Tang Siqi discovered that the coach was actually her junior from high school, only two years her junior.

It’s a small world indeed.

The two hired a ski instructor. Although they could only learn the very basics of skiing in a short period of time, having a coach’s guidance was much better than being completely clueless.

Tang Siqi realized she had no natural talent for sports, but the girl was quite good at it. After quickly mastering the techniques, she began to teach her, even more meticulously than the instructor.

“I noticed we could take the conveyor belt up there,” the girl’s eyes flickered with longing.

Terrified, Tang Siqi quickly said, “No, no, I’ll get hurt if I fall down that slope.”

The girl smiled, “I’m not telling you to slide down. Look at those slides over there—they’re reserved for tires.”

“Tires?”

“Yeah, they don’t require any skill. Let’s go, let’s give it a try.”

Tang Siqi had always been timid and rarely went out with friends. For some reason, she seemed a little more outgoing now than she had been at school. With the girl’s encouragement, she seemed to be tempted. She thought about giving it a try and then giving it a try if it didn’t work out.

Tang Siqi followed the girls onto the conveyor belt and all the way to the top.

Ahead of them were two teenage girls, seemingly in middle school. Together, they rode on the tire and slid down the slide, their screams echoing throughout the ride.

The girls’ faces flushed with excitement: “Ah, that looks like fun. Should we try it too?”

Tang Siqi hesitated, but the girls urged her, “Look, they’re younger. They can try it too. You’ve already come here and spent two hundred yuan. Wouldn’t it be a waste if you don’t try everything?”

With this rare opportunity, Tang Siqi got on the tire. The staff checked with them, “Are you ready?”

The girls shouted, “Yes!”

Tang Siqi trembled, her hands clinging tightly to the edge of the tire. After a few seconds of hesitation, she nodded, “Yes.”

As the tire rolled out, Tang Siqi could only hear the whirring of wind and a strange feeling of weightlessness. She felt like she was about to fly.

“Ahhhh!” she couldn’t help but scream.

“Hahahahaha!” The girl on the slide next to her seemed much more relaxed, even glancing back at her screams with laughter.

The two of them quickly concluded their adventure, and Tang Siqi felt her legs trembling as she returned to the ground.

“Hahaha, you look a bit afraid of heights, aren’t you?” the girl asked with a smile.

Tang Siqi shook her head. “Not really… it’s just… I’ve never been on a slide this high.”

The girl widened her eyes. “It’s not that high. Aren’t roller coasters at amusement parks more thrilling?”

Tang Siqi’s face paled. “I haven’t even been on a roller coaster yet…”

The girl stuck out her tongue and laughed, “Come on, let’s go again!”

Tang Siqi was dragged along by her for two attempts before they were all over.

The second time, she seemed less afraid, and she finally understood the addictive nature of this activity.

It’s that momentary feeling of weightlessness and loss of control—it’s incredibly thrilling.

However, if she were doing it alone, she definitely wouldn’t want to try it a third time.

Two hours passed quickly. As the girl finished changing and said goodbye, she said, “Nice meeting you today. Let’s add each other on WeChat. My name is Xu Wei. Let’s hang out together sometime.”

Tang Siqi also pulled out her phone. It was rare for them to get along, so adding WeChat was nice. However, she said regretfully, “I’m already working, so I don’t come back from Shanghai often.”

“It’s okay. I’m also studying abroad and just got back home recently. Let’s talk again.” Xu Wei said goodbye and left.

As Tang Siqi emerged from the ice and snow world, she couldn’t help but smile at the thought of the thrilling scene.

Oh, she almost forgot to check in.

Tang Siqi pulled out her phone, and the system had already sent two messages.

[Congratulations host, you have mastered the basics of skiing. Reward: 90 gold coins. Total wealth: 1477 gold coins.]

[ Congratulations host, you added your travel companion on WeChat. Reward: 150 gold coins. Total wealth: 1627 gold coins.]

Wow!

Why is the system suddenly so generous?

Just learning a few basic skiing techniques earned her 90 gold coins, and adding Xu Wei as her friend netted her an incredible 150!

Her total gold coin tally now exceeded 1,500! She could actually buy a laptop!

Excited, Tang Siqi didn’t forget to check in.

[Congratulations, host! You’ve successfully checked in at “Strange Ice and Snow World,” earning an A-level rating. The system rewards you with 24 hours of health, 300 gold coins (using a triple gold card), a total wealth of 1,927 gold coins, and 192 hours of remaining health.]

Hahahaha!

Pretty impressive!

I didn’t expect a trip to the Ice and Snow World would yield so many gold coins, even if I fell a few times!

Tang Siqi felt like she’d made a killing today.

She immediately took the bus back to the commercial street, to the Digital City, and headed straight for the same store she’d visited yesterday.

A new clerk had arrived today, and just as they were about to approach the young woman, she looked up from her phone, repeatedly confirmed the model number, and said, “I want to buy this laptop.”

The clerk was stunned. Was that so straightforward?

“Excuse me, miss, you’ve decided to buy this one, right?” the clerk asked patiently, suppressing her inner excitement.

Tang Siqi nodded, “Yes, I’m sure, I want this one.”

“Okay, I’ll go to the warehouse and get you a brand new one. Please wait.”

The clerk walked briskly to the warehouse, almost jogging, and was very excited.

She hadn’t placed any orders today, and she had just muttered to herself, but this order came so easily!

She hurried to the warehouse to get one, brought it to the counter, unboxed it, tested it, issued the order, collected the payment, and it was done.

Fifteen minutes later, Tang Siqi returned home with the coveted laptop.

Hahahaha!

She never thought she could take home a laptop through a magical clock-in app!

This laptop looked so comfortable, so thin and so easy to use!

Tang Siqi was so happy that she almost flew to heaven.

When she got home, her father was not at home, and her phone rang.

After picking up the phone, Tang Siqi was a little surprised to find that the caller was Mr. Feng from the Colorful Parent-Child Paradise, who had previously given her a 2,000 yuan reward.

“Ms. Tang, I have a request. I really can only ask you for this matter.”

Tang Siqi: “Mr. Feng, just tell me what you need. I will definitely help you if I can.”

Mr. Feng’s generosity made the balance in her account look less miserable, and she would naturally do her best to fulfill his request.

“Ms. Tang, I previously hired a park designer to help us design, as you suggested. However, their drafts have been revised several times, and none of them achieve the effect I’m looking for. I’m thinking of the drawings you posted online, and one of them really struck a chord with me. I hope you can come to my company to discuss the details and help me complete the design for the Mushroom House. The remuneration is negotiable; I’ll pay you according to the market price.” ”

That’s no problem, but I’m not in Shanghai yet. I can only come to your company when I get back. Is that okay with you?”

“Sure, sure. I’ll wait.”

After hanging up the phone, Tang Siqi was still a little confused. So, had her work truly earned the approval of a company owner?

This sense of satisfaction even surpassed the joy of getting a new computer.

This was good news, and it was time to celebrate.

Tang Siqi had received another order, exchanged for a laptop, and bought her dad a dishwasher yesterday. She was now excitedly pacing around the house.

How should she celebrate?

Ah,

right!

Among the promotional items was a 25-kilogram king crab for 500 gold coins. Such a luxurious, premium ingredient was the perfect way to celebrate.

But…

this wasn’t Shanghai. There was no top chef Xu Qianning, and my dad’s cooking skills were just so-so. I wasn’t sure if he could even make king crab.

Tang Siqi thought, “Never mind, I’ll just buy it and see.”

As she left the house, she remembered that while the king crab was tempting, she only had 427 gold coins, a bit short.

But that small amount wasn’t going to stop her these days.

She followed the directions and took a bus to Nantang Street, which had undergone renovations by the Six Cities Alliance and was now completely transformed. This iconic Wenzhou nightscape, with its bar street and charming little shops, was perfect for a night out.

Young people who came here were mostly drawn to the bars, and while they weren’t cheap, business was brisk.

Tang Siqi wasn’t just there to hang out; she was there to check in.

[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully checked in at “Nantang Street”, rated C level, the system rewards you with 5 hours of life value, 60 gold coins (using triple gold coin card), total wealth 486 gold coins, remaining life value: 194 hours.]

Oh no, the system gave Nantang Street C level as she wished, but she found that there was an error in her mental calculation. She originally thought that she could get more than 500 gold coins by checking in at any scenic spot, but she didn’t expect that after using up the two non-A-level check-in opportunities today, she still couldn’t collect 500 gold coins.

Is this going to be a regretful farewell to the king crab?

Tang Siqi felt a little unwilling, she was only 14 gold coins away!

Now she can’t check in for food, nor can she check in for any non-A-level scenic spots. It’s already 5 o’clock in the evening, and it’s too late to go to the scenic spots in the suburbs. What should she do?
