I Have a Five-star Seaside Hotel

"What do we do now?! Fight the wizard?!"

In the midst of the chaos, Xiao Lang's bold voice rang out.

Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat.

He was the only wizard present,

and the four roller coasters in the magical battle were intertwined, their tracks so close to each other that if someone really wanted to hit him, they probably could—as long as their arms were long enough.

"Fight your sister!"

Chen Jianhai's exasperated voice came from the golden lion.

"Sit down and behave!!"

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao finally felt a sense of relief.

Amidst the chaotic battle,

the wizard Vikam, who had merged with the darkness, stood high above, calmly surveying everything below.

As he raised his magic staff, countless elves riding unicorns soared into the sky,

Their speed so fast that they left behind silver streaks, like meteors, as they charged straight at Vikam.

In an instant, a blinding white light engulfed Vikam.

The cracked ground slowly mended,

The scorching flames gradually faded,

The raging ocean waves calmed…

From the distant clouds, the mournful cries of defeated monsters echoed across the battlefield.

"Vikam was defeated… by the elves?"

Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Due to his preconceived notions and the wizard identity buff, even though he knew Vikam was the dark boss, he just couldn't accept the great wizard's defeat.

What made it even harder to accept was that the roller coaster beneath him was clearly slowing down, signaling that the game was about to end.

It's over already?!

A straightforward story of light triumphing over darkness?What's so interesting about that?!

I'm all grown up now—can't I have a dark fairy tale for once?!

Just as Xiaoxiao was fuming over the ending, a loud "crack" suddenly echoed.

The white light that had engulfed the darkness began to split apart like a cracked eggshell,as if something inside was desperately trying to break free.

There's a twist!

Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at the magical, epic scene unfolding before him.

In the next moment, an agile elf suddenly burst through the eggshell, appearing in mid-air.

Unlike the previous white elves,

this elf had dark skin, its ashen complexion carrying an aura of death.Its icy gaze showed indifference toward everything.

"A dark elf?"

The term immediately popped into Xiaoxiao's mind.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, a polite voice rang out over the broadcast system:

"Dear guests,"

"Our 'Lion Lake Hotel: Darkness Corrupting Light' attraction has now concluded.Our staff will assist you in removing your seatbelts.Please remain seated and wait patiently."

"Thank you for visiting. We hope you enjoyed your time."

The lights came on.

Xiaoxiao still stared unwillingly at the spot where the dark elf had appeared, hoping for some kind of follow-up storyline.

Unfortunately…

That damn boss really didn't show anything else!

"So, did Vikam die or not?!"

"I told you!! Why were the mermaids able to turn back into foam and return to the sea?!It must have been because of the elves!"

"I think the elven city is definitely hiding something."

"The last scene clearly showed that the elves tried to purify Vikam but failed—Instead, they were corrupted by his dark magic and turned into dark elves."

"That actually makes a lot of sense!"

"Agreed +1!"

As the amusement park employees helped Xiaoxiao remove his seatbelts and safety gear, the live stream audience speculated about Vikam's final fate.

But no matter how much they speculated, they couldn't come to a conclusion.

"

"No wonder this is a hidden project that can only be unlocked after completing all four themed cities.If you haven't played through them, you wouldn't understand the story at all."

"Streamer, go check out Fantasy Elf City!"

"Yeah! I really want to see if there are both white elves and dark elves in the elf city."

Seeing the barrage of comments, Xiaoxiao sighed.

Although he was curious about Elf City too, he had to admit that he was completely drained and couldn't go on anymore.

The nine attractions in Crazy Wizard City, Romantic Mermaid City, and Flame Knight City had thoroughly exhausted him, body and mind.

Even though the "Darkness Corrupting Light" battle he just played wasn't as physically intense,the stunning visuals and sound effects still took a toll on his mental and emotional energy.

Right now, he was in a state of near-emptiness, devoid of desires or excitement.All he wanted was to ride a mindless carousel, play some ring toss, or slide down a giant slide.

If he could just get a lounge chair, a cold Coke, and scroll on his phone in peace, that would be perfect.

"Hey! Buddy!"

Just as Xiaoxiao was thinking this, a cheerful and enthusiastic voice called out ahead.

Xiaoxiao looked up and saw the tall guy from earlier—the one who had been riding the little black horse—waving at him!

"Hi!" Xiaoxiao smiled warmly.

Although the entrance to the Lion Lake Hotel: Darkness Corrupting Light battle was different for every player, the exit was the same.Plus, since they had all fought together on the same magical battlefield, it felt like they had a bond forged in battle.Seeing each other again felt surprisingly familiar and friendly.

"How was the ride?" Chen Jianhai's eyes were full of anticipation.

He had poured his heart and soul into building this amusement park,dreaming of the day someone would genuinely praise it.

Xu Bo and Xiao Lang were like his own kids, so their excessive flattery didn't count.

But honest feedback from a real guest like Xiaoxiao?That was priceless.

"It was amazing! So much fun!"

Xiaoxiao didn't hold back his praise for the amusement park.

Honestly,

In all his years, he had never had this much fun anywhere else.

From the attractions, to the service, to even the play-along staff—everything just felt so relaxing.

"Especially the freshly squeezed seaweed juice in Mermaid City!I've never had such an incredible drink in my life!"

The live stream chat exploded with question marks.

"Are you serious, or are you trolling?""Streamer, are you messing with us?""Wow. Where's the honesty between people?!"

Hearing the words "freshly squeezed seaweed juice,"Chen Jianhai's expression froze slightly.He turned to Xiaoxiao with a look of shock and disbelief.

Who would've thought…?!This guy's got an iron stomach!

While Chen Jianhai was too stunned to speak,

Xu Bo's eyes suddenly lit up.He looked at Xiaoxiao like he had just found a kindred spirit,his gaze burning with fiery admiration.

"I wish I could ride it again."

Xiaoxiao glanced back at the hidden attraction,his eyes showing a hint of hesitation.

From the time he entered the amusement park until now, it hadn't been too long, but between playing and resting, he had already spent over an hour.

Although the live stream audience was large, most of them had to go back to work in the afternoon, so the number of viewers gradually decreased.

Even if he took a break and played a few more rounds, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Plus, he had just experienced the "Magic Era: Darkness Corrupting Light Battle" from the wizard's perspective.He hadn't explored the other character venues yet.

Maybe in the other themed roles, he could uncover more storyline details and see even more exciting game settings.

"Do you want to play again?" Chen Jianhai asked.

"Yes!" Xiaoxiao answered without hesitation.

"Then let's go!" Chen Jianhai was just as excited.

He had just spent his time as a paladin slashing sea monsters, and now he wanted to experience Vikam's magic in Wizard City.

The four of them quickly agreed and split up, each heading to a different venue,starting a new round of the Lion Lake Hotel: Darkness Corrupting Light Battle.

This battle lasted until 3 PM.

"I'm about to throw up from this. Let's go back and play on the giant slide!"

Xiao Lang looked exhausted, dragging Chen Jianhai and Xiaoxiao toward the big slide.

"You guys go ahead. I need to head back and prepare dinner," Xu Bo said, glancing at his watch.

"Cooking?"

Xiaoxiao looked up at Xu Bo.

Wait… is he a hotel chef??But why would a chef need to report to guests about whether he's cooking or not?

"Wow, it's already this late!"

Chen Jianhai checked his phone and said, "Then you should go. Don't let us hold you up!"

"Alright," Xu Bo nodded.

"Actually, I'll go back with you. I'm kind of tired after all that playing," Chen Jianhai said.

"Then I'll go back too. It's no fun without you guys," Xiao Lang immediately added.

The three of them turned to look at Xiaoxiao.

"I'm tired too. I'll go with you!" Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate.

Live stream chat: ???

"Streamer, where are you going?""You still have Fantasy Elf City to visit!""Yeah! At least check out Elf City before you leave!"

Xiaoxiao ruthlessly ignored the wails from his viewers.

When it comes to content strategy, you have to master the perfect balance.

He and Hua Du were staying at Lion Lake Hotel tonight, and unless something unexpected happened,they would continue streaming there tomorrow.

If he streamed all the exciting attractions today, what would he do for tomorrow's content?

With that in mind, Xiaoxiao decisively chose to end today's amusement park adventure at Lion Lake Hotel.He quickly wrapped things up, explaining that he was too tired to continue today but would return tomorrow.Then, he followed Chen Jianhai and the others toward the amusement park exit.

"Are you a streamer, buddy?"

Seeing Xiaoxiao talking to his live chat, Chen Jianhai curiously asked.

"Sort of. I just like sharing the things I see," Xiaoxiao replied, a little embarrassed.

"That's great. Travel around, see new places, and share them with others."

Chen Jianhai casually responded,but his sharp eyes quickly glanced at the streaming page on Xiaoxiao's phone.

In that instant,

Chen Jianhai felt immensely grateful to his parents for giving him such good eyesight!

And even more grateful for his years of playing games with the lights on and staring at his phone at max brightness—because now, his bright, sharp eyes were neither nearsighted nor blurry, allowing him to see exactly what he wanted.

Peach Live, Hua Du Xiaoxiao!Got it!

After secretly sending this information to Lin Suyang,Chen Jianhai continued leading the group to the exit as if nothing had happened.

As they approached the exit, Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped.

"Why aren't you moving?" Chen Jianhai asked, puzzled.

"That fountain is broken. Let's take another route," Xiaoxiao said hesitantly, eyeing the Cloaked Wizard Fountain ahead.

The traumatizing memory of the fountain blasting cold water down his neck was still fresh in his mind.

He had finally changed into a dry shirt and didn't want to get soaked again.

"Broken?"

Chen Jianhai looked at the Cloaked Wizard Fountain with confusion.

Isn't it normal for this fountain to be "broken"?In his opinion, the real malfunction would be if it stopped spraying water entirely.

Because this lazy fountain only reluctantly sprayed water when people got close enough.

That's why Chen Jianhai had purposely placed it in front of the busiest part of the amusement park.

Could it be that now, even when people approach, the fountain doesn't spray at all?

"It's really broken!"

Seeing Chen Jianhai's disbelief, Xiaoxiao repeated,"This fountain is cursed! It only sprays at people on purpose!"

Chen Jianhai was even more confused.

Can a fountain really target people?Seriously?!

Still half-skeptical, Chen Jianhai stepped under the Cloaked Wizard Fountain.

But after staring at it for nearly half a minute,the fountain only flicked out two tiny water droplets.

"See? It's not broken. The fountain is fine!" Chen Jianhai turned back and waved at Xiaoxiao and the others.

"Wow, can this even be called a fountain?"

Xu Bo rolled his eyes."The water it sprays isn't even as strong as the oil splatters when I'm cooking!"

"Did they fix the fountain?"

Seeing Chen Jianhai, Xu Bo, and Xiao Lang walk past the fountain completely dry,Xiaoxiao cautiously stepped forward and walked toward the amusement park gate.

The moment he stepped out—

It was like breaking a seal.

A powerful blast of ice-cold watersuddenly whooshed out from the Cloaked Wizard Fountain's magic staff,hitting Xiaoxiao with pinpoint accuracy from over 30 meters away!

"Damn it!"

Xiaoxiao yelled, shielding his face and sprinting forward.

But the fountain seemed to have eyes,tracking him wherever he ran and aiming straight for the back of his neck.

He ran forward,the fountain chased after,leaving him nowhere to escape.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

"This is insane!""This fountain holds grudges!""I swear, someone must be controlling this thing!"

Chen Jianhai was completely dumbfounded.

Wow,

Even with a 1080x sniper scope,he couldn't hit a moving target this accurately!What the hell did Xiaoxiao do to piss off this fountain?!

Earlier, when Xiaoxiao said the fountain "targets people on purpose,"Chen Jianhai didn't believe him.

But now,the cold, hard truth was right in front of him,and it was just ridiculous!

The scariest part was how powerful the water jet was.

Xiaoxiao had already run nearly 50 meters,and the fountain was STILL spraying him!

"Damn it, stop spraying!!"

Chen Jianhai quickly shouted.

He had already given away one bathrobe,and at this rate, he'd have to give away another.

A room at the hotel costs over 5000 yuan per night,but he had already lost nearly 3000 yuan worth of bathrobes.

If this continued,he might as well quit the hotel business and start a charity.

Hearing Chen Jianhai's heartbroken yell,

The Cloaked Wizard Fountain reluctantly slowed the water flow,and, though unwilling,it finally shut off.
