I Tied Up the Travel Check-In System - Chapter 7

Wow, a new mission!

Oh wait…

is this a family park? A family park in Minhang District?

“Hey, can you find me a mission closer? I’m in Huangpu District!”

[After completing the third mission, the host can choose whether to enable the daily check-in feature, allowing them to freely choose the location to check in.]

Tang Siqi: Wow!

I can choose, so I can just go downstairs and check in?

And then I can get coins to redeem for delicious food? Yum!

Tang Siqi quickly researched this third mission. While the location was a bit far, it wasn’t difficult to find. It was just that, as a single person, going to a family park felt a bit strange.

However, Tang Siqi didn’t panic. Fortunately, she had someone to call!

She opened the door and entered the living room, where she saw Luo Junbao sitting on the sofa, buried in a book.

“Junbao, can I discuss something with you?”

“Yes, go ahead,”

Luo Junbao said, putting down his book and speaking in a condescending tone.

Tang Siqi’s smile gradually became flattering, and she moved a little closer: “Junbao, you see, you seldom go to amusement parks. Today is the weekend, and you are free. How about we go to the amusement park?”

Luo Junbao’s eyes lit up, and he lowered his head to think carefully, then shook his head: “No, my mother is busy with business on weekends.”

Tang Siqi said quickly: “She is busy with her own business, let’s go out and play, I will take you, so that your mother can work with peace of mind.”

Luo Junbao thought for a while, and said seriously: “Tang Siqi, have you finished your homework? Why don’t you look at the “I just want to go out and play.”

Tang Siqi paused briefly and casually said, “That’s part of my job. I’ve got a job at a family park, and I have to go check it out. You see, since it’s a family park, of course I have to take the kids with me to get the job done.”

Hearing this, Luo Junbao jumped off the sofa and straightened his clothes. “Let’s go, then.”

Despite his small size, it was clear what he was thinking. It was a rare sight to see him willing to go to the park today. Tang Siqi quickly told Xu Qianning,

“Don’t leave us lunch. We’ll eat outside.”

“Mom, I’ll go out with Tang Siqi for a bit. I’ll be back soon.”

And so, the two of them set out together.

There was little online information about the Colorful Family Park, only a general location for directions. Fortunately, despite its remote location, it was connected to the subway. Tang Siqi and Luo Junbao changed subways twice before finally arriving at the entrance.

Standing at the entrance, they both felt a sense of turmoil.

This place… why does it seem so deserted?

Luo Junbao walked to the ticket window and stood on tiptoe. “Grandpa, how much is a ticket?”

The gatekeeper poked his head out and saw Luo Junbao. “Little kids aren’t tall enough, so we won’t charge.” He adjusted his glasses and looked at Tang Siqi. “Adults are 45.”

Tang Siqi paid for the ticket and asked worriedly, “Uncle, is this park open?”

“It’s open. There are staff inside. Just tell them what ride you want.”

Tang Siqi and Luo Junbao walked into the parent-child park. It was sparsely populated, and many of the rides were empty. It looked deserted, but it looked like it had only been open for a short time, so the facilities were all very new.

Luo Junbao’s face grew more serious as he walked. Finally, he couldn’t help but say, “Tang Siqi, is this the job you’ve taken? It’s really not that great. You should check it out and leave after you’re done.”

Tang Siqi smiled a little awkwardly. It seemed that even Junbao, a child, wasn’t interested in the place. He was already urging them to leave.

But according to the assignment, she had to try five rides, so Tang Siqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “Junbao, since we’re here, let’s try them all.”

Walking along, she’d noticed that most of the rides were for children; there weren’t any for adults. Even the Ferris wheel was a miniature version, suitable only for children under 1.2 meters tall.

Tang Siqi was speechless. What should she do?

Oh, right? Let Junbao try it out and see if that would count as completing the assignment.

“Junbao, go try it out and come back and tell me if it was fun, okay?” Tang Siqi pleaded.

Luo Junbao reluctantly sighed, “Okay, okay.”

So, forced to go, he tried the rotating slide, trampoline, time-slide roller, spinning bowl, and jungle net. The carousel and Ferris wheel were too childish, and he refused to go, but Tang Siqi calculated that it was enough for five.

She pulled out her phone and opened the app.

[Congratulations, host! You’ve successfully checked in at the Colorful Family Park, earning 20 gold coins. Total wealth: 107 gold coins. Life extension: 24 hours.]

Wow, it turns out that letting Luo Junbao experience amusement rides can also complete a check-in quest!

Another 24 hours of life extension.

Unfortunately, even after the 20 gold coins, there’s still 13 gold coins short of buying Junbao a children’s desk and chair set.

After leaving the amusement park, the two ordered some food at the nearby McDonald’s.

Junbao was sweating profusely from the fun and was already hungry. He devoured the spicy chicken burger with hearty mouthfuls.

Tang Siqi wiped his sweat with a tissue.

“Oh, I didn’t know this park was this bad. When I make some money, I’ll take you to Disneyland.”

After finishing half of the spicy chicken burger, Luo Junbao’s mood brightened considerably. He rarely had the chance to eat at McDonald’s, partly because his mother told him to save money and partly because she said it’s not good for children to eat too much.

He wiped his hands with a tissue and said seriously, “Actually, this parent-child park isn’t hopeless.”

“Huh?” Tang Siqi was a little surprised.

Junbao, who looked like he was barely operating the park, actually said it was good.

“Look, there are so many plants inside, the environment is great. During the jungle challenge, it really feels like a jungle, not just kidding. I also saw a lot of flowers. I don’t recognize them all, but it’s nice to look at them.”

Tang Siqi: “Ah… so what do you think is wrong?”

Luo Junbao said solemnly, “There are too many. The rides are so boring, and children don’t necessarily like such boring and childish rides. Besides, I don’t want to bring my mom here. The rides here are all for children. There’s nothing for moms to do together. It’s boring. No wonder no one comes.”

Hearing this, Tang Siqi quickly took out her phone and wrote down everything Junbao said.

She would organize it and post it on the review website later.

Luo Junbao nibbled on a chicken wing and added, “It would be nice to raise some small animals in there and let the children bring the adults to play with them.”

Tang Siqi: !!!

Quickly write it down in your notebook.

Bringing Junbao here today was absolutely the right move.

If she had come alone, she wouldn’t have been able to come up with these ideas. After lunch, during her break, she posted a post about Junbao’s comments.

[A Visit to the Newly Opened Colorful Family Park in Suburban Shanghai]

The post only included a few pictures, but the content was incredibly detailed.

As soon as it was posted, netizens responded.

“Wow, the OP is as prolific as a sow! She’s updated again!”

Tang Siqi: “…”

“The little baby is so adorable! Turns out the OP is married with kids! I’m so jealous.”

This was a huge misunderstanding, and Tang Siqi quickly replied: “It’s not my baby, it’s my best friend’s.

” “I really like the OP’s writing; it’s light and insightful, and I went to the Colorful Family Park last time and felt something was off, too, but not as detailed as the OP’s.”

“This place has a nice environment, but it’s a bit overdeveloped. What a shame.”

“Will I still be able to see the OP’s paintings today? I love following your posts because you draw so beautifully!”

Tang Siqi replied: “I will, but it’ll be a little later. ”

Unexpectedly, she already had followers on the review forum. Moreover, this third post had already gained considerable popularity, surpassing the previous two. She should earn even more gold coins from now on.

[Congratulations, host! You gave a fair review of the park in your post and also suggested areas for improvement. System reward: 20 gold coins, total wealth: 127 gold coins.]

Wow!

Proposing improvement plans can even earn gold coins!

What a steal!

This way, wouldn’t there be more than enough gold coins to redeem for Luo Junbao’s gift?

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, let’s go home,”

Tang Siqi said with a mysterious smile. “Junbao, before we go home, I’ll take you to the mall to look at something.”

Luo Junbao tilted his head to glance at her. “Tang Siqi, don’t waste your money,”

she said, as if Xu Qianning were standing right in front of her.

Tang Siqi said happily, “You’ll see once you see it. It’s not considered a waste of money.”

They took the subway directly back to a large mall near their residence. Tang Siqi remembered that the third floor was dedicated to children’s products, and the mall was on the list of merchants for redemption.

Tang Siqi quickly fell in love with a brand that sells children’s tables and chairs. The children’s tables and chairs of this brand are quite exquisitely made, unlike other brands, some of which look like cheap plastic.

The tables and chairs of this brand are all made of solid wood. They can also be raised and lowered, and are equipped with reading lights and small bookshelves. They look very similar to the pictures in the APP.

Tang Siqi smiled and pressed Luo Junbao on the chair: “How do you feel?”

Luo Junbao nodded. He couldn’t find any fault with the good tables and chairs: “Comfortable, but Tang Siqi, this chair is too low for you.”

Tang Siqi smiled and said, “Who said I bought it for myself? I bought it for a child.”

Luo Junbao glanced at her: “Do you know other children besides me?”

“I don’t know her, so this is for you.”

Luo Junbao immediately jumped up from his chair and pulled Tang Siqi outside the store, away from the enthusiastic salesperson. He leaned close to her and whispered, “You don’t have to buy me such an expensive thing. Mom said we need to be frugal. And, Mom has said before, it’s not easy for you to make money painting. You often… often…”

He frowned and thought for a moment, finally coming up with the word that had been stuck: “Ah, often spending more than you earn.”

Tang Siqi smiled awkwardly. “You accompanied me to the amusement park today and helped me with my work. This is my thank you. And didn’t you just give the amusement park a lot of suggestions? They were very useful, so I don’t have to pay for this.”

“Really?” Luo Junbao’s eyes lit up. If it was really for him, he would be so surprised. He had wanted a table of his own for a long time.

“Really? If you don’t believe me, just look at my text message later. The money will be transferred to me.”

“I… I didn’t say anything…” Luo Junbao felt that he hadn’t contributed much. This gift was really a bit… too big.

“Every word you say is important!” Tang Siqi said solemnly.

“Well… well… thank you Aunt Siqi…” Luo Junbao couldn’t resist the temptation of this set of tables and chairs, and thanked him in a low voice.

Tang Siqi laughed: “Forget it, you should just call me by my name, I’m more used to it.”

After that, Tang Siqi went to check out with the clerk and left her address. A deliveryman will deliver it directly to the door later, and the installation is also included. The service of big shopping malls and big brands is good.

After leaving the mall, Tang Siqi handed the text message to Luo Junbao, and Luo Junbao really believed it. Tang Siqi really didn’t have to spend any money.
