Chapter 419: The Myna Finds a Home

If you want me to guess, I'd say the owl definitely likes to eat kidneys! And they must be extra spicy and seasoned with lots of cumin! Maybe it even enjoys eating old men? The ones with white hair?

Regardless, at this moment, Chen Jianhai suddenly sat up straight upon seeing the message.

He never would have expected that while he was struggling to find a way in, an old man with white hair, whom he'd only met three times, ended up helping him out in a big way!

Old men are really something!

Chen Jianhai immediately sent back an emoji of a twin-tailed loli kneeling and kowtowing while shouting "boss."

Even though he didn't know the old man's name, he was certain that the man wouldn't lie to him.

Yes! How could a white-haired old man who can afford to wear a watch worth eight figures have the time or inclination to trick him? Is that even possible?

Absolutely not!

But just to be sure, Chen Jianhai asked another question:

"Does the owl like to eat barbecue by the wishing fountain?"

Ping'an Yisheng: "After eating, it even flies a few laps around the giant python staircase."

Wow! This old man is not only humorous but also quick to respond!

Chen Jianhai: "Thank you, old man! I'll definitely arrange a barbecue by the wishing fountain!"

Ping'an Yisheng: "OK. Let's talk later."

After putting down his phone, Chen Jianhai started to piece things together. Owl, wishing fountain, giant python staircase... all these elements were topics he had discussed with the old man in the car.

So, it looks like the style of Magic Century Park is Western magic!

This makes things much easier!

"System!"

Chen Jianhai shouted in his mind, and a huge blue panel popped up in mid-air.

"Ding!"

"Does the host confirm the purchase of the Western Magic Hotel theme for 30,000 points?"

As the system's cold and familiar voice sounded, Chen Jianhai responded without hesitation, "Confirm, purchase!"

Almost the moment his voice fell, the system store made a crisp unlocking sound, and then, a magic broom icon appeared in front of Chen Jianhai.

"Whoa, that's a lot of stuff!!"

Chen Jianhai clicked on the magic store and was startled by what he saw.

No wonder it cost 30,000 points for the theme pack! Forget the main hotel building, the landscaping alone was enough to dazzle Chen Jianhai.

"Squirrel Carriage Road, 200 points"

"Chipmunk Lawn, 100 points"

"Two-Winged Unicorn Wishing Fountain, 1,500 points"

"Dawn Bookstore Corridor, 1,000 points"

"Knight Crest Romantic Palace Restaurant, 1,200 points"

"Fox and Rabbit Country Kitchen, 500 points"

...

Besides these theme elements, Chen Jianhai was even more surprised by some of the other items, such as:

"An ornery, giant banyan tree that sings madly when provoked, 300 points"

"A lazy little wizard fountain that only performs fancy water shows reluctantly when people approach, 200 points."

"A mermaid in the lake who only surfaces at sunrise and sunset, focusing on wagging her tail, 200 points each."

Wait... 200 points each?

Are they alive?!?

Startled, Chen Jianhai quickly opened the details page for the "Lake Mermaid."

"Lake Mermaid: Intense light will hurt their beautiful eyes, so they can only surface at dawn and dusk to breathe."

"Note: They love playing on carousel rides. If possible, please build a carousel on the lake for them."

Then, as if part of a bundled sale, a "Lake Siren Carousel" icon popped up on the system page, with a 10-second countdown timer in the upper right corner. Once the countdown ends, the icon would automatically disappear.

Chen Jianhai felt a bit uneasy.

The system was really upping its game...

After reading the description of the "Lake Mermaid" several times, Chen Jianhai still couldn't figure out if these things were alive or not.

And it wasn't just the Lake Mermaid; the ornery banyan tree and the lazy little wizard fountain all felt like something out of a magical novel.

"Damn, the system really wants to bring magic into my hotel!"

Chen Jianhai felt a bit anxious.

Originally, he had planned to go all out and buy a ton of stuff from the system store, enjoying the thrill of spending 200,000 points.

But now, seeing all these magical items, he wasn't sure if his 200,000 points would be enough, and he realized he needed to carefully read through the descriptions and select each item to ensure they were both safe and interesting.

After all, if he bought the wrong item and it ended up scaring the guests, that wouldn't be good.

But then again, "This ornery banyan tree that sings madly when provoked... would be a perfect match for that annoying myna on the island!"

A spark of inspiration lit up in Chen Jianhai's mind.

If that myna, with its teenage angst and morbid poetry, could settle down in the ornery banyan tree that sings when provoked...

Wow...

Just thinking about it was thrilling!

Thrilling!!!

Thrilling!!!!!!

A wicked gleam appeared in Chen Jianhai's eyes.

...

According to official reports from Zaomen City, Magic Century Park is expected to be completed by the end of August.

It is slated to open on September 1st.

So, Chen Jianhai has plenty of time.

He can thoroughly review these system hotel installations, ensuring that every item he purchases is both safe and fun.

But while he was meticulously selecting items, he had the system's Ocean Star construction team in Zaomen make loud construction noises every day, creating the illusion that their hotel was also racing against time to finish.

...

Zaomen, Naiyou Road

Late at night

The Ocean Star Luxury Decoration Company's construction site was filled with the frantic sounds of construction.

Powerful floodlights illuminated the ground like the sun, constantly trying to wake the sleeping earth, and even more so, to wake the sleeping workers.

"Damn!! I really want to take a rock and smash that giant lightbulb!"

"Me too!"

"We're all flesh and blood, but they're like iron-clad Supermen, working 24 hours straight!"

Angry curses echoed from the construction site of Magic Century Park.

Early the next morning,

a black car pulled up at the Magic Century Park construction site.

Two people got out of the car.

One was tall, blonde, and blue-eyed—definitely a foreigner.

The other had black hair and black eyes—clearly a local.

Seeing that all the workers had already arrived at their posts and that the entire site was bustling with activity, the foreigner was a bit confused.

"What's going on?"

"Is everyone really this enthusiastic about their work?!"
