Travel · Hangzhou Arc (Twenty): Achievement Unlocked: Brother Songlun's Special Guest
Today was another peaceful day, and the first group of people who got up early were already busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Since Yangyang Xixi, and Lifei arrived, Xiao Ling has been able to take a break from her duties of preparing three meals a day and enjoy a nice nap.
It has to be said that it's good to have more people in the family who can cook, so that it's not always the same few people doing all the cooking.
"Sigrika, could you please take this dish out? Be careful, it's hot." Yangyang handed the prepared dish to Sigrika and asked her to set it on the table.
"No problem, Sister Yangyang, don't worry about it, leave it to me!" Sigrika nodded with a smile, picked up the plate of freshly cooked food, and walked to the dining table.
Then she saw Hajiling yawning as she came downstairs.
"Senior! You're awake! Did you sleep well last night?" Sigrika greeted her warmly.
"Not having to get up early every day is better than anything for me." Xiao Ling stretched. "Mmm~ It smells so good, did Yangyang make this?"
"How did you know, senior?"
"I have a keen sense of smell; I can tell who made each dish just by the smell," Xiao Ling chuckled. "Enough said, I'll go inside and see if there's anything else I can help with."
As Xiao Ling plunged into the kitchen, the others woke up one by one, driven by their biological clocks.
The number of people in the living room visibly increased, and several gluttonous girls, led by Dania, were drooling as they stared longingly at the Manchu Han Imperial Feast on the dining table.
"Hey you greedy girls, stop staring blankly and come over here to eat." Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle and immediately called everyone in the living room to the table for dinner.
Before Xiao Ling could finish speaking, Dania immediately sprang into action, taking tiny steps to her seat and obediently waiting for dinner to begin.
With Dania taking the lead, everyone laughed and chatted as they took their seats.
"Alright, let's eat!"
When the last dish was served, Xiao Ling clapped her hands twice, signaling that everyone could start eating.
Their new day in Hangzhou officially began at this moment.
"Speaking of which, there's something I need to tell you all," Xiao Ling suddenly said at the dining table.
"What's wrong, A-Yu?" Aemeath blinked curiously. "Is it important?"
"Since you've chosen this time to talk about it, what Blank is going to say must be something that requires us all to make a decision together," Iuno casually answered Aemeath's question.
"That's true, Iuno. We do need to consult everyone present on this matter," Xiao Ling nodded.
"Then why don't you elaborate, Brother Ling, so we can make a decision now?" Suisui said with a gentle smile.
"Yes, that's how it is..."
Let's rewind to midnight tonight.
At that time, Xiao Ling was enjoying himself in the King's Canyon. Today, two new skins were released, and he couldn't resist buying them. Then he started playing them.
After a brilliant five-kill streak ended the game, Xiao Ling had just finished streaming with satisfaction when his phone suddenly received a message.
"Who would message me at this hour?" he wondered.
I clicked on it and wow, good heavens, Brother Songlun came to see him in the middle of the night.
Songlun: Are you there? Are you there?
Xiao Ling: Yes.
After Songlun was thoroughly beaten up by the Solaris girls, he took the initiative to exchange contact information with Xiao Ling, saying that a project would be coming to them as special guests.
And now, he has come to fulfill that promise.
Songlun: That's right, we have a concert project planned.
Songlun: I'd like to ask if you could spare a few days to participate.
Xiao Ling: What date? Location? How many days will it last? Are there any program requirements?
Songlun: As for the time, it will be from August 20th to 22nd, and the location will be in Magic City. As for the program... you can improvise as you like, and we will arrange the program and other things.
Xiao Ling: That's feasible. I'll go discuss it with them.
Xiao Ling: Let's make this clear first, we'll only perform, nothing else. We'll leave after the performance, and you should know why.
Songlun: Of course, it's already an honor for me that you've graced me with your presence.
Songlun was well aware that no matter how convincing the role-playing was, it could never compare to the impact of a real person appearing on screen.
Not to mention that this concert might become news material for domestic media in the future, and the other party probably doesn't want this performance to become a trigger to disrupt their peaceful daily life.
Xiao Ling: Let's leave it at that for now. We'll let you know after our discussion is over.
Back to the present...
"A concert..." Aemeath pondered for a moment, then a sudden inspiration struck her, "Wouldn't there be lots and lots of people?!"
"A conservative estimate is over ten thousand people," Xiao Ling explained.
"Performing in front of tens of thousands of people... Ugh..." Dania gradually became more like a porcupine.
"What's in it for us?" Suisui, being a businesswoman, naturally considered the stakes behind the invitation first. "We can't just go and support him for nothing, can we?"
"His condition was that he would cover all our expenses in Magic City," Xiao Ling replied. "To be honest, I'd really like to experience whether drinking Mixue Ice Cream & Tea under the Oriental Pearl Tower would result in getting a laser headshot."
"So, what do you all think? If you're willing, then our next stop after Hangzhou will be Magic City."
It's August 8th now, less than two weeks before the concert officially starts, but that's plenty of time.
"Of course, no problem, A-Yu ~" Aemeath said with a bright smile, "I also want more people to hear my singing."
"To be Blank, there was no need to discuss this in the first place," Iuno said with a smile, resting her chin on her hand. "Don't you know us? We'll go wherever you go. But I'm not good at performing on stage, so don't blame me if I mess it up~"
"I'm not very good at acting either, but if you need special effects, I can do it for you," Roccia a light laugh.
After a lively discussion, the group collectively finalized the decision.
"Then let's do it in a week. We'll leave Hangzhou for Magic City in a week, and then head straight to Imperial Capital." Xiao Ling planned out the rest of the itinerary.
"Good!"
Hajiling watched the group excitedly discussing their performance plans at the dining table, a slight smile playing on her lips. Then, she quietly took out her phone and replied to Brother Songlun.
Xiao Ling: We're leaving in a week. Please take care of our food and lodging.
Songlun: It seems your discussion went very smoothly.
Songlun: Don't worry about that, we'll take care of everything.
If an achievement system existed at this moment, Xiao Ling would probably see a new achievement pop up now.
Achieve Samsung status: Brother Songlun's Special Guest
The reward is twenty Astrite.
(I'm taking a day off tomorrow to rest and plan out the next part of the story; I'm also preparing to write a side story.)
