Su Bai suddenly realized he might actually be quite suited to being a buffet reviewer.
He had watched some vloggers in this niche, and to be honest, their quality varied greatly. Some knew absolutely nothing about food, while others knew their stuff but lacked entertainment value.
Most importantly, you had to be able to eat.
Being a food vlogger with a small appetite was indeed quite awkward.
Su Bai just so happened to meet the criteria.
Plus, he had plenty of free time and a virtually unlimited budget.
But it was just a passing thought. If he truly embarked on the path of a food vlogger, it would be easy to slack off once the initial novelty wore off.
If you wanted to take anything seriously, you had to go through a painful operational phase.
It was like running a business. The early accumulation phase was always bitter and exhausting, making you feel like you'd be better off just getting a regular job. But once you scaled up and the profits stabilized, it was a completely different story.
Then again, there really weren't many businesses with stable profits these days, unless they were backed by the state...
With these thoughts drifting through his mind, Su Bai sampled the buffet's seafood.
The quality was surprisingly good.
It was even better than some of the mediocre a la carte restaurants he had tried before.
Sure enough, when it came to seafood, quality was purely a game of chance.
On one hand, late autumn was the exact season when seafood was at its plumpest.
On the other hand, this hot spring hotel had only been open for a short time, so their quality control across the board remained quite strict.
Restaurants and hotels also had their prime tasting periods.
During the initial trial operation phase, they were prone to all sorts of bizarre issues.
Once they had been operating for a long time, they tended to slack off.
Only those few months in the middle hit the sweet spot.
This was a pattern Su Bai had discovered through his recent spending experiences.
After devouring a massive amount of seafood, he grabbed a plate of roasted lamb chops.
The stamina Su Bai had lost to the Wan sisters was largely replenished.
He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but in the steamy, misty environment of the private hot spring, stamina consumption seemed to increase.
Not just for Su Bai himself, but for the Wan sisters as well.
Perhaps it was the equivalent of working out while taking a sauna!
...
Meanwhile, in the private hot spring suite on the top floor, the Wan sisters were racing against time to recover their physical energy.
In order to have enough energy to execute the pre-bedtime body wash routine they had prepared for Brother Su Bai, they had specially brought concentrated energy drinks, and... well, some things that couldn't be explicitly mentioned.
Anyway, they were all highly nourishing goodies!
After this round of nourishment, they immediately felt much better.
The body wash was a common service in Japanese-style baths, belonging to the same repertoire as the air mattress they had prepared in the RV.
It was just that some things were really hard to pull off in an RV, or at least, couldn't be executed to their fullest potential.
The hotel was the perfect place to unleash their ultimate form, guaranteed to leave Brother Su Bai completely satisfied.
While resting, Wan Xinyan scrolled through her phone and saw that quite a few people had liked and commented on the WeChat Moments post they had just made.
After all, it was a newly opened hot spring hotel, and an expensive suite at that. Coupled with the other photos of the RV and beautiful scenery in the nine-photo grid, Wan Xinyan's friends were dying of envy.
Especially her circle of friends from her hometown!
After all, her friends from Jiangcheng University more or less knew that she and her sister were now following Su Bai, essentially serving as the personal little maids of a mega-rich tycoon.
This role sounded like they were just serving someone, and many of their female friends would show faces full of disdain and roll their eyes wildly whenever they brought it up behind their backs.
However, deep down in their bones, they were incredibly envious and desperately wanted to take their place!
With Su Bai's wealth and status, they would be more than happy to be his maids.
If given the choice between serving a boss at work and serving Su Bai, many would choose Su Bai without hesitation.
Not to mention women, even Su Bai's roommate Wang Haoran was following him. He had started his own business at such a young age, and rumor had it that Wang Haoran came from a completely impoverished background.
This meant that Su Bai had the power to effortlessly elevate the people around him.
On top of his high spending habits, this added an aura of powerful influence and mystery.
As for Wan Xinyan's friends from her hometown, their reactions were even more intense after repeatedly seeing her show off her luxurious lifestyle on WeChat Moments recently.
In their eyes, the Wan sisters were country bumpkins who had to pinch pennies and live frugally just to afford school. Aside from having pretty faces and nice figures, they were basically girls from the bottom of society. How did they suddenly turn into phoenixes so soon after going to college in the big city?
To this, Wan Xinyan's explanation was that they were working as assistants for a wealthy benefactor. All of this belonged to the boss, and they were just tagging along to enjoy the perks.
It satisfied a little bit of her vanity while maintaining a sense of mystery.
Coming from the bottom rung of society, they knew very well that they couldn't show any weakness in front of these people.
If you became a little wealthy, countless so-called relatives and friends would come over asking for handouts.
But if you appeared to be an intimidating big boss, they would feel fearful.
In many cases, the logic of the lower class was universal.
It wasn't that they loved to show off their wealth back in the village; it was simply a normal social tactic.
"Sis, after drinking this energy drink, my body feels so hot..."
Wan Xinyan, who was playing on her phone, suddenly heard her sister's voice.
Turning her head, she saw Wan Xinyue wrapped in a bathrobe and resting against the headboard, her face flushed with a slightly feverish red.
That seductive little look made even her sister, who was incredibly familiar with her, stare blankly for a moment.
So Wan Xinyan studied the ingredients of the energy drink.
To be honest, they usually didn't drink energy drinks.
Although they loved doing aerobics, the physical exertion wasn't so great that they had to rely on energy drinks to keep going.
In fact, the biggest consumer group for energy drinks was people like the corporate slaves in Japan.
Sometimes, when watching Japanese TV dramas or movies, you would notice that they really loved drinking energy drinks.
So, drinking it occasionally like this, she didn't expect her sister to have such a strong reaction.
After studying the ingredient list, Wan Xinyan suddenly understood: "Sis, I get it now. I'm guessing it's because it contains ginseng extract. Do you remember when Grandma took us to see that traditional Chinese medicine doctor? That doctor grandpa said our bodies are quite sensitive to ginseng, so we shouldn't consume too much of it when taking supplements."
"..."
Reminded by Wan Xinyan, Wan Xinyue also remembered.
It seemed there really was such a thing.
Truth be told, it hadn't been easy for Grandma to raise them, but during their upbringing, it seemed they had never lacked anything crucial.
It could only be said that Grandma had put a lot of heart into raising them, shaping them into two optimistic, lively, and healthy little girls.
Being sensitive to a supplement like ginseng couldn't really be considered unhealthy, but in their current situation, it was indeed quite uncomfortable.
Soon, Wan Xinyan also felt a sensation similar to her sister's; after all, she had just chugged a can of the energy drink too.
It had been sweet with a hint of taurine flavor, very delicious.
Now, she was also feeling a hot and restless sensation all over her body, and she hurriedly called Su Bai.
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life.

However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

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.
