Chapter 339: New Year's Celebration on the Island

Actually, even before Chen Jianhai arrived, the island had already set up a floating cinema on the west coast beach. However, due to technical and equipment limitations, the cinema screen and framework were set up on the beach near the sea, not actually in the water.

The northern part of the island where the hotel is located is naturally suitable for building dikes to block the waves. This way, even if the floating cinema is built in the sea, there's no worry about waves washing away the cinema and picnic boats.

What Chen Jianhai wanted to create was a real ocean cinema where tourists could sit in small boats, drifting while watching movies!

"Ding!"

"Would the host like to spend an additional 1000 points to purchase the Parent-Child Floating Cinema?"

The system's familiar cold voice came.

Chen Jianhai was taken aback, "What is the Parent-Child Floating Cinema?"

"Ding!"

"Parent-Child Floating Cinema: Consists of one large and one small screen. The large floating cinema is 10 meters long and 5 meters wide. The small floating cinema is 6 meters long and 5 meters wide. Both screens share the same playback system and can show movies simultaneously."

"This Parent-Child Cinema seems quite suitable for the island."

Chen Jianhai carefully examined the "Parent-Child Floating Cinema" on the system interface, calculating in his mind.

"The island's movie screen and framework have been there for a long time, and the screen often flickers with light spots and has black square shadows."

"Replacing it with a floating cinema for the islanders would be nice too..."

Chen Jianhai muttered, and then decisively chose "Buy."

After buying the floating cinema, the next step was to buy boats.

"Would the host like to spend 1800 points to purchase 18 luxury picnic boats?"

18 boats? 

Chen Jianhai was puzzled.

One picnic boat can only hold a maximum of 7 people. 18 boats can hold a maximum of 126 people, which is not enough!

"Can't I buy more boats?" Chen Jianhai asked.

"Ding!"

"The purchase limit for picnic boats is 18. Please make a reasonable choice within the specified range."

Chen Jianhai was frustrated.

Unbelievable, I can't even spend money when I want to!

"Is this some kind of scarcity marketing?"

Chen Jianhai frowned slightly,

"Guests in the water villas can watch movies directly from their beds,"

"Other hotel guests can reserve picnic boat spots in advance. Guests who successfully reserve can board the boat to watch the movie."

"Those who don't reserve can watch from lounge chairs on the beach."

Chen Jianhai roughly envisioned everyone watching the movie in his mind.

Everyone would have a different experience~

It seems nice this way!

Buy!

With his thoughts clear, Chen Jianhai decisively purchased 18 picnic boats.

But having just a movie screen and picnic boats wasn't enough.

Watching a movie is not only a visual feast but also an auditory feast!

If the sound system is poor, the movie-watching experience will be significantly diminished,

...right, there must be popcorn!

Chen Jianhai listed all the needed items,

carefully browsing the system store, page by page, selecting the things he needed.

The outdoor seaside movies on the island were for all the island residents and tourists, aiming for a lively atmosphere.

So even if the equipment was a bit basic, it didn't matter if the external speakers were louder.

However, the floating cinema near the island hotel would affect other guests' living experience if public external speakers were used.

"Unlimited Bluetooth Headphones, 632 points!"

Chen Jianhai's eyes lit up.

"This is perfect!"

"Guests can enjoy the best sound effects without disturbing others' rest, perfect!"

"Butter Wasabi Dual-flavor Popcorn Machine, 260 points. I need one!"

"Automatic Water Food Delivery Robot, 1300 points, buy."

"Comfortable Beach Viewing Chairs, 800 points, gotta have those!"

...

After a crazy shopping spree,

Chen Jianhai glanced at his remaining points,

13,693 points.

"All the points saved up from the beer festival were spent in one night." Chen Jianhai was a bit dumbfounded.

Life is tough, points are never enough...!

But~

Thinking about watching a pirate movie while sitting on a small boat at sea, he couldn't help but feel excited!!

"Ding-dong~"

A phone notification rang.

Curious, Chen Jianhai opened his phone to find an electronic invitation.

"Who's getting married?"

Opening the invitation,

"Dear Mr. Chen Jianhai,"

"We are honored to invite you to the New Year's Celebration on Xiaomajia Island, which will be held at 10:26 AM tomorrow on the west coast beach of Xiaomajia Island. We look forward to your presence!"

An island celebration?

Chen Jianhai's eyes lit up.

He had never attended the New Year's celebration on the island before!

At that moment, a message from Xiaolang popped up:

"Bro, did you receive the New Year's invitation from the island??"

Chen Jianhai: "Yes, did you receive it too??"

Xiaolang: "Yeah! Let's go together tomorrow!"

...

The next day.

Chen Jianhai and Xiaolang got up early to get ready.

According to Feng Di, the island's New Year's celebration is a highly respectful and solemn event, requiring formal attire.

Learning from the embarrassing "little horse" incident last time,

this time, both Chen Jianhai and Xiaolang pulled out their thickest shirts.

Afraid of another mishap, Chen Jianhai even wore a vest under his shirt. He checked himself in the mirror under the sunlight, ensuring everything was perfect before leaving the room.

Xu Bo enviously watched Chen Jianhai and Xiaolang from the hotel lobby. Though he also wanted to go, he didn't receive an invitation and had to stay at the hotel.

Leaving the hotel,

Chen Jianhai and Xiaolang walked along the Starlight Coastal Road towards the west coast of the island.

Today's weather wasn't perfect.

The usually vast and clear blue sky was filled with large patches of clouds today.

A long black line where the sea met the sky divided the sea and sky sharply.

The blue-green jelly-like sea surface seemed to be covered with a layer of black gauze, looking less transparent.

The mottled shadows of the trees formed irregular shapes on the ground,

and in the places where sunlight broke through,

the delicate, smooth beach shone blindingly, contrasting sharply with the surrounding gloom.

"I thought the island had a weather forecaster, why choose today for the celebration?"

Xiaolang muttered.

Although it was winter,

this season was the best weather on Xiaomajia Island,

with no wind or rain,

even cloudy days were rare.

Why did the island choose today for the celebration?

Chen Jianhai, puzzled, took out his phone to check the weather forecast.

For the next 15 days, today was the only cloudy day.

The date was chosen very precisely.

"Maybe today is an auspicious day?" Chen Jianhai guessed.

"Probably." Xiaolang responded.

The two, still puzzled, continued walking towards the west coast of Xiaomajia Island.
