I'm dressed in ancient times, I have a house, electricity, and a system pet.

Chapter 198 Territory Upgrades to Level 5, Delivery Function Officially Launched

Su Zirang was being severely punished by the spicy hot pot. He thought he could easily handle the medium-spicy broth, but it almost drove him to the brink of collapse.

Even with the Sichuan peppercorn hot pot, the spiciness was still unbearable for him, causing him to have tears and snot streaming down his face as he kept breathing in and out to relieve the heat.

After that, whenever food was fished out of the spicy broth, he would hesitate and dare not try it again...

He was filled with regret, blaming himself for not heeding Miss Bai's good advice.

Spicy, spicy, spicy!! So spicy, so spicy!! He's almost fainting from the spiciness...

In short, Bai Mengran's first hot pot banquet in ancient times can be described as a grand feast where both host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely.

Except for Su Zirang, who couldn't handle the spiciness and thus couldn't fully appreciate the deliciousness of the hot pot, the other four ate to their hearts' content, only reluctantly putting down their chopsticks when they could no longer eat.

The hot pot feast lasted for about an hour before it came to a successful conclusion, and Bai Mengran personally escorted the guests to the restaurant.

Kong Nishang and her daughter were still enjoying themselves and planned to buy some more food while [Fairyland] was still open; while Su Yingying's family decided to pack some delicacies and prepare to embark on their journey home.

"Aunties, Yingying, Yiyi, and Su Erge, that's my way of seeing you off. Please be careful on your journey, and you're welcome to visit us anytime!"

Bai Mengran stood at the door, waving goodbye to her guests as the hostess, her words full of politeness and enthusiasm.

"Ranran, thank you so much for your hospitality today. I will never forget how delicious this hot pot was. I see you are here alone. If you have time, remember to come to the Su residence to find Yingying and me."

Madam Su was thoughtful and gentle. She noticed that Bai Mengran seemed to be alone there, so she took her hand and gave her a few words of advice.

"Yes, Ranran, come visit Yiyi and us more often when you have time. Our two families live not far apart. If you feel bored, feel free to come over anytime!"

After the joyful hot pot meal, Madam Pan, wife of Kong, also grew closer to Bai Mengran, and she also greatly admired this independent and strong young girl.

Bai Mengran deeply felt the warmth and sincerity emanating from them, which moved her and made her nose tingle slightly.

Since she left her parents and family and came here alone, she has been able to enjoy herself, but she has not received such care from her elders for a long time.

She temporarily suppressed her longing for her parents and focused on the present moment.

Looking at Kong Nishang and Su Yingying, who were nodding and warmly welcoming her, and the two aunts who had become friends with her through them and were now sincerely inviting her, Bai Mengran felt a deep sense of gratitude.

How wonderful, she's met so many warm-hearted people here...

A warm feeling welled up in her eyes, and Bai Mengran couldn't help but feel moved. She earnestly accepted the two ladies' invitation, saying that she would definitely visit their residence when she had the chance, and also bid a reluctant farewell to her two good friends from ancient times.

Afterwards, Bai Mengran returned to the villa alone, and she had already arranged for "Super Clean" to clean up the mess left by the hot pot.

As she passed by the convenience store, she was surprised to see the adorable robot "Candy" that she hadn't seen in a long time, obediently charging.

Bai Mengran went over and greeted Tang Guoguo.

When Tangguo saw Bai Mengran, she was so excited that hearts filled the screen. She said coquettishly, "Master, I missed you so much! You haven't come to see Guoguo in so long~!"

Bai Mengran quickly comforted her, "I've seen Guoguo working diligently to earn money every day, and I think you're doing a great job, so I'm very relieved."

In fact, she had already asked the system to send more message reminders to her employees, but she was too busy and could only check in occasionally when she happened to be there.

Upon hearing this, CandyGuo giggled and said, "Don't worry, Master. It's Guoguo's duty to sell more candy for you. I'll do my best! I've read all the messages you sent me, Master. Love you, Master~"

Tang Guoguo's soft and adorable loli voice melted Bai Mengran's heart.

The candy machine's core is just too cute! She couldn't help but reply, "I love you too, adorable fruit, mwah~"

After chatting with Tang Guoguo, Bai Mengran returned home in a pleasant mood.

However, her busy day of work was not over yet...

Now that she's enjoyed the delicious food, she naturally has to continue earning points for her system to repay it.

"System, I'm back! Anything else that needs setting up, hurry up and give me the hints! The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go home!" Ahem, the canyon is still waiting for her.

[Well, tonight's task for the host is quite challenging, so it'll probably be tough on you...]

The system looked at the list of tasks and rewards it had prepared, and there were many things that the host needed to supervise.

"Huh? It's not too much trouble... Then let's get started. A working person's spirit is to work, no matter how much work there is, we have to do it!"

Bai Mengran wasn't under much pressure working from home. She found a place to lie down and prepared to continue working.

Seeing this, the system decided to adopt a strategy of incentivizing before implementing tasks, and said: "[Okay, let's start by announcing the rewards for completing the new afternoon tasks to the host~]"

Immediately, it began broadcasting the rewards.

[Ding, congratulations host, [Main Quest 14]: The "Fairyland" territory has been upgraded to Lv.5 (currently Lv.5 (/)].

Task Rewards: Officially launch the "Takeout" function of [Fairyland], obtain an unlimited supply of "Fairyland Bracelet", open the "Fairyland Bracelet" function shop, and receive 200 Beginner "Takeout Pigeons".

Note: The current delivery range is within a 20-kilometer radius of [Fairyland]. You can unlock a longer delivery range and more delivery features by completing a certain number of food delivery orders.

[Basic "Delivery Pigeon"]: A lifelike AI-powered white pigeon specifically designed for food delivery. It features an intelligent voice system that allows it to interact with customers and is equipped with a global navigation system that accurately matches the location of the "Fairyland Bracelet" and delivers meals precisely to the designated address.

The basic "Delivery Pigeon" can carry 100 catties, fly at a height of 200 meters, and reach a speed of 400 km/h. (Upgradeable)

[Ding, congratulations host, Lv.5-1 mission: Total store spending exceeds system coins (current progress (/)]

Rewards: A Level 1 Luxury Restaurant, with the option to choose a regional cuisine as the theme, and a complimentary luxurious renovation of the themed restaurant (requires 24 hours to complete), with unlimited supply of that cuisine.

The luxury restaurant complex features a separate restaurant serving a different regional cuisine on each floor, covering 5,000 square meters. Additional restaurants serving other regional cuisines can be unlocked through upgrades.

After the system announcement ended, it paused for a moment before resuming its usual tone, saying, "[Host, the announcement is over. Are you awake?]"

Bai Mengran didn't fall asleep from listening; she was simply stunned by it.

The reward came somewhat unexpectedly to her. She didn't expect that the food delivery task would be completed and launched after only two days of warm-up.

And this luxurious restaurant—just from the description, she could already sense how outrageously extravagant it would be in person…

"Tongzi, this time it actually takes 24 hours to renovate, are you planning to build a castle?"

The unprecedented construction time made Bai Mengran's heart tremble...

[I won't tell the host, can you guess?]

The system playfully kept everyone in suspense, resolutely refusing to give away any spoilers!

This made Bai Mengran even more excited, hoping that tomorrow would pass quickly so she could find out the answer sooner!

What to do? She's so nervous and excited! She can't wait to see what this luxurious restaurant looks like through Tongzi's eyes...
