Chapter 136: Return to the Island

Since Ning Youyou discussed the contract with him last time, she had not appeared again. She probably went somewhere to lead a tour.

Early the next morning,

Chen Jianhai dressed in his favorite Calabash Brothers vest and large shorts, wearing a pair of bright red comfortable sports shoes, and with sunglasses on, he boarded the tour bus.

There were about 8 or 9 people on the bus, making it a small boutique group.

The group was mostly young people, and everyone spoke in different accents from all over the country,

making it quite lively.

"Hello everyone, I am today's tour guide Xiaoxia, thank you for choosing our Blue Sky Travel Agency."

"Let me briefly introduce today's itinerary:"

"We will arrive at Fumanyu Wharf around 9:30, then take a boat to Xiaomajia Island."

"The boat ride will take about an hour."

"After arriving at the island at around 10:30, a professional diving instructor will train us on diving knowledge and essentials."

"At 11 o'clock, we will start deep-sea and snorkeling experiences."

"At 1 PM, we will have lunch at a local fisherman's home and then walk around the island to enjoy its culture and scenery."

"Everyone can also enjoy afternoon tea at the island's café and take a short break."

"At 2 PM, we will take a boat from the island wharf to go sea fishing."

"At 6 PM, we will gather at the island wharf and take the boat back to Nanjing."

"Our day trip is tightly scheduled, so please stay with the group and don't fall behind."

Xiaoxia spoke seriously, and the tourists listened attentively,

while Chen Jianhai almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard about having coffee on the island.

The coffee on the island was simply undrinkable.

...

After boarding the boat at Fumanyu Wharf,

Chen Jianhai, finding the sea breeze too strong, went straight into the cabin to play on his phone.

Meanwhile, the other tourists were on the deck, taking photos and shouting, each one excited.

"Go ahead... take your photos!"

"Once the waves start, you'll all be useless~"

Chen Jianhai relaxed in the cabin, with a wicked smile, waiting to see them make fools of themselves.

Not everyone could be called "Xiao Lang" and remain standing and taking selfies after the strong winds and waves.

He, "Lang Ge," was a man who dared to challenge the sea and its waves.

Sure enough,

after the boat had been sailing for about 30 minutes, the wind and waves grew stronger, and the boat rocked more violently.

Chen Jianhai, leaning against the window, cheerfully watched a young girl scream "I'm scared," clutching the railing with one hand and holding her boyfriend's hand tightly with the other.

If her phone hadn't been hung around her neck, it would have fallen into the sea by now.

The girl's face turned pale from the waves, and she didn't dare to move.

Finally, with the help of her boyfriend and tour guide Xiaoxia, she moved shakily to her seat.

After fastening her seatbelt, she clung tightly to her boyfriend's arm, truly frightened.

After ensuring all the tourists were seated, Xiaoxia sat next to Chen Jianhai and reminded him:

"Mr. Chen, according to the itinerary, we will arrive at the island wharf around 6 PM."

"As long as you can return to gather before 6 PM, it will be fine."

"Got it," Chen Jianhai replied.

...

An hour later, the boat reached the island wharf.

After disembarking, Chen Jianhai waved to Xiaoxia and the others, then followed the map towards the future site of his hotel.

Walking along the main road in the center of the island,

passing by some fishermen's yards, he reached the other side of the island.

The island's terrain is higher in the north and lower in the south, with small hills in the north, and the hotel land allocated to him by the association was near these hills.

When Chen Jianhai arrived at the location according to the navigation, his brows furrowed tightly.

What he saw was a desolate scene.

Bare ground with stakes sticking up,

industrial waste and cement bags scattered on the ground,

green garbage bins blown over behind the hills,

although there was no household garbage, the entire place still looked miserable.

"No wonder no one wants to take over this place."

"If it were someone else, they'd probably have a headache too."

It's not easy...

Chen Jianhai looked around.

If this place didn't have this large wasteland, the scenery would be quite nice.

With mountains and water, fine sand, and a beautiful coastline, it would be a perfect vacation spot.

According to Chen Jianhai's initial plan,

he wanted to use the system to turn Xiaomajia Island into a top-notch island resort, targeting high-end customers.

But after walking around the site,

this idea was immediately scrapped.

To build a hotel on the island, he had to consider the local living environment, cultural environment, and market conditions.

If Xiaomajia Island were an untouched, newly discovered island,

he could plan it his way and turn it into Nanjing's little Maldives.

But the island's residents have lived here for generations, with their marks all over the island.

To build a hotel here, its style must blend with the local environment.

He couldn't build a luxurious hotel here,

only for guests to look out the windows and see the small yards of island residents.

The huge contrast in environment would make both guests and residents uncomfortable.

The hotel wouldn't have any peace either.

Considering Nanjing's tourism resources and market size, Xiaomajia Island is more suitable for the mid-range market.

With the development path for the island hotel determined, the next steps were easier.

"System~"

Chen Jianhai called up the system panel in his mind,

selected the system mall, and opened the public toolbox.

Suddenly, dozens of colorful icons appeared before him, each with different points and names.

Chen Jianhai unhesitatingly chose the first one: One-Click Cleanup.

"Ding,"

"Are you sure you want to spend 5000 points to clean up all buildings on the current site?"

"Note: This action is one-time and irreversible. Please choose carefully."

"Yes." Chen Jianhai chose "yes" without hesitation, not feeling the least bit heartbroken.

Before reopening the hotel, he had over 11,000 points,

and with the points from the cultural walk stations, tour groups, and PPT,

he now had about 50,000 points.

Buying things was definitely enough!

"Ding."

"Received the host's command. The system will start the cleanup at 2 AM tonight."

"To ensure the host's safety, the cleanup will be carried out by the Ocean Star Construction Team."

"Cleanup time: 15 days."

Chen Jianhai clicked the "×" at the top right corner of the panel with satisfaction.

Next was to choose the main building style for the island hotel.

After selecting for a long time, Chen Jianhai finally focused on a modern seven-story building icon.

This is it!

The hotel's exterior was entirely white, matching the white sand, visually extending the view.

The roof was clean blue,

matching the blue sky and the sea, looking clean and comfortable.

Just as Chen Jianhai was about to spend 20,000 points to buy the building,

suddenly a line of words appeared on the system panel:

"Sorry, your island residents' satisfaction is less than three stars, so you cannot purchase this item."

Chen Jianhai: ???
