Evening.
The first hotel they stayed at on this trip was a hot spring hotel.
It had placed a lot of ads on a certain social media app. Although it was slightly suspected of over-marketing, Su Bai had asked friends who had been there, and the overall feedback wasn't bad. In fact, one could even say it was much better equipped than most hot spring hotels.
The facilities were complete, and the service was good.
Sure enough, as long as it was a hotel, it couldn't escape that basic rule:
The newer, the better.
Even for some old five-star hotels, the actual living experience wasn't as good as newly built high-end business hotels.
This might be a bit of an exaggeration, but the logic held true.
"By the way, how much would it cost to buy a hot spring?"
This question popped into Su Bai's mind while he was changing and taking a shower.
If he could own an entire hot spring all to himself, he could close off the whole place and bring the girls inside to play.
When tired, they could just lie down anywhere to rest. And if they wanted to do that... ahem, you know.
It would feel amazing!
At this moment, Su Bai's phone was still in a waterproof bag. Right through the bag, he excitedly sent a private message to Xia.
For the vast majority of people, this kind of question was completely outside their realm of knowledge.
Only a knowledgeable and experienced young lady like Xia Lin could possibly give an accurate and practical answer.
In her circle, there might actually be someone who had bought a hot spring.
[Crispy Big White Goose: Xia, about how much does it cost to buy a hot spring? Are the procedures troublesome?]
[Summer's Lin: It's okay, not too troublesome. It just takes time to choose a location and build it.]
[Summer's Lin: What, you want to buy a hot spring? You've been spending a bit wildly lately, little brother. Does your family really not mind?]
[Crispy Big White Goose: Nah, they don't mind. I'm just living within my means.]
[Summer's Lin: [Snicker]]
[Summer's Lin: That depends on what kind of special features you want for your hot spring.]
[Crispy Big White Goose: Good privacy, highly independent. Once it's built, it'll just be for me and you girls to use~]
[Summer's Lin: Oh my, you really know how to enjoy life, little brother!]
[Summer's Lin: [Facepalm shyly]]
[Summer's Lin: It shouldn't be a problem. The best way would be to find a small island with natural hot springs, buy it, and build on it yourself... It'll definitely be more expensive than buying a regular plot of land, but the advantage is that you'll have a lot of choices. Of course, the construction costs...]
Truth be told, Xia Lin was quite sensible and frugal, always considering things from a cost perspective.
However, Su Bai didn't have such worries.
Although his current savings of around four hundred million in cash could be spent in an instant on a slightly more expensive construction project.
But if it triggered his indulgent spending cashback, he would instantly be over the moon.
Excitedly discussing it with Xia, Su Bai went to the public area to soak for a while.
He didn't leave the public area until the Wan sisters called to summon him.
Soaking in the public area was naturally not what Su Bai wanted. The reason he chose to stay at this hot spring, apart from enjoying the atmosphere, was mainly for the luxury suite on the top floor.
At 15,888 a night, it came with its own private hot spring pool.
For most tourists, this room had too low of a cost-performance ratio to justify staying in, but for Su Bai, it was a breeze.
The room was huge. The outer area was for living and playing, the bedroom was on the side, and deep inside was a hot spring pool paved with a rock floor. It had a washing platform, a hydrotherapy room, a sauna, and even a food delivery hatch. You could order food from the buffet downstairs, and someone would send it up via a conveyor belt.
You have to admit, it was really something.
This price tag wasn't just for show; the service was actually quite impressive.
In fact, Su Bai felt that when spending money to enjoy yourself and the budget was high, the quality of service became a very important factor.
The cost of materials was just what it was; you understood that once you spent enough.
But this newly opened exclusive hot spring hotel really had flawless service.
As soon as he entered the room, Su Bai saw the beautiful scenery in the hot spring pool.
Hot mist swirled over the water's surface like a fairyland, and the silhouettes of two plump yet petite women were faintly outlined within.
Since it was a private room, they had taken off their swimsuits and were completely naked.
Because they had accidentally fallen asleep in their swimsuits earlier in the RV, they had been wearing them for a bit too long today. This made them feel a bit constrained, so right now, they craved the feeling of freedom!
Actually, most girls prefer to be a bit freer in private and don't like the feeling of fabric wrapped tightly around their bodies.
Oh, except for Chen Yusheng. She was already so used to having her legs wrapped in black pantyhose all the time that she would feel uncomfortable without them.
She really was a unique case.
"Brother Su Bai, come here quickly~ The water temperature here is great, much more comfortable than the public area downstairs. And it seems they added some secret bath salts; it feels incredibly comfortable to soak in," Wan Xinyan said.
"Really? Let me try."
If Xinyan said it was good, then it was definitely flawless in his eyes.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Bai dipped his foot in, he grimaced slightly.
Hiss~
So refreshing!
"Wow, what kind of magical formula is this? It couldn't have anything bad in it, right?" Su Bai's mind ran wild with speculation.
Holy crap, meth!
Wan Xinyan said, "You're overthinking it, brother. Before coming here, we asked Sister Xiaolu to check this place's qualifications. It's perfectly fine."
"Tsk!" Su Bai couldn't help but praise her in his heart. Zhou Jialu's time in the butler training course hadn't been in vain.
Ensuring that every step of a wealthy person's itinerary was safe and reliable was also an important duty of a butler.
This probably required the use of special channels, but just having channels definitely wasn't enough; it also required the butler to be patient and meticulous.
Not bad at all!
"Brother Su Bai, why are you still wearing your swimming trunks? There's no one else here," Wan Xinyan asked, pressing against his chest and blinking her bright, sparkling eyes as she watched him enter the bath.
At this moment, the twins' somewhat youthful and childish faces looked exceptionally charming in the hazy steam. Especially with their hair pinned up, it added a touch of allure to their endearing innocence.
"Ah, I just forgot. Why don't you girls help me out?"
Thus, the Wan sisters began to help Su Bai.
On the screen wall opposite the pool, there was a massive projection TV. Su Bai turned it on, getting ready to catch up on some recent anime.
Whether rich or poor, the anime you could watch every season was the same. Perhaps this was a blessing for lovers of arts and entertainment. Whether it was movies, TV shows, or anime, what everyone could watch was identical. Of course, buying merchandise was a different story.
For someone with Su Bai's personality, buying merchandise wasn't the essence; watching what he liked was.
Wang Haoran was much the same. The Gacha Sage had the spirit of an old-school otaku. Even though he was now starting a business with Su Bai and had plenty of money, he didn't go on a retaliatory spending spree buying tons of anime merchandise. Many of his habits remained exactly the same as before.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
