Chapter 459: First-Time Free Play Privilege

In the Cattle and Sheep Abundance Hall, Xiao Xiao was holding a small spoon, scooping up spoonfuls of autumn pear paste from the jar.

"Actually, I don't really like eating autumn pear paste."

"But when I think about the fact that it's free, doesn't cost a penny, and was specially chosen for me by the kitchen chef as a little dessert, I feel like it's just so damn delicious!"

With each sentence, Xiao Xiao stuffed another spoonful into his mouth.

"I don't know if your throats feel uncomfortable after eating spicy food."

"Every time I eat something spicy or stimulating, my throat feels uncomfortable, but after drinking this autumn pear paste, I feel much better, both in my throat and stomach."

Watching Xiao Xiao slurp up the autumn pear paste, the fans in the live stream were furious.

"Wow! You've stopped smacking your lips and now you're slurping soup instead?"

"Can't even eating shut you up!"

"Blogger, you must have an iron stomach! Ice-cold cola, boiled meat slices, autumn pear paste, and soon some small fruits. I curse you to wet your pants tonight while sleeping!"

"Wetting your pants? You're really something!"

"Let's be honest, I've seen restaurants that give out free desserts, and I've also seen places that offer small fruits and soups. But adjusting different dishes based on the customer's order? That's a first for me!"

"Honestly, just for the little black horse at the entrance and the restaurant service, I'd love to stay at the Lion Lake Castle Hotel for a night in my lifetime."

After finishing the autumn pear paste, Xiao Xiao contentedly put the lid back on the jar and turned his gaze to the crystal square plate beside him.

"Watermelon, grapes, oranges, pomelo, star fruit, tangerines... all the fruits in this crystal square plate are the kind that are juicy, sweet, and perfect for neutralizing spiciness."

"And just now, the restaurant staff brought me a small pitcher of fresh yogurt, saying I could choose whether to pour it over the fruits to make a yogurt fruit mix."

As Xiao Xiao spoke, he turned the camera to the glass yogurt container next to him.

Perhaps because it had just been taken out of the fridge, the container was covered in condensation. Xiao Xiao picked up the large pitcher of yogurt and gently shook it, clearly showing the thick, rich texture of the yogurt inside.

"I touched it, and this yogurt is really too cold. If I pour it over the fruits, I won't be able to go to the theme park tomorrow—I'll be running to the bathroom all day."

"So, I'll just eat the fruits directly."

With that, Xiao Xiao adjusted the camera to focus on the entire bowl of fresh, juicy fruits, letting the live stream audience watch as he ate every last piece.

Finally, after eating and drinking to his heart's content, and adhering to the principle of not wasting food,

Xiao Xiao opened another can of ice-cold cola, gulping it down with a "glug glug glug" sound, then let out a satisfied burp. He patted his belly with a contented expression.

"???"

"Afraid of diarrhea from cold yogurt, but then chugs a bellyful of ice-cold cola!?"

"Streamer, you're really something. Just wait for the diarrhea!"

Xiao Xiao gave a disdainful smile, completely unfazed. Meanwhile, Hua Du, who had been watching his live stream, quietly commented:

"There's free ice-cold cola in the hotel room's minibar. Why spend money here?"

Xiao Xiao retorted, "Do you understand the joy of splurging? I'm spending money here because it makes me happy! Extremely happy!"

"Even if this can of cola costs 2 yuan, I'm happy to spend it!"

...

After the meal, the service counter at the Cattle and Sheep Abundance Hall called a carriage for him. After waiting about 2-3 minutes, a carriage stopped at the door, ready to take him back to the hotel.

"After going around in such a big circle, it's almost 4 PM now."

"Honestly, right now I just want to take a good shower, then lie down and relax. It would be even better if I could get a spa treatment. But unfortunately, all the budget for this trip was spent on booking the room, so the spa will have to remain a dream."

"Xiao Xiao, don't cry! I'll send you a big peach so you can exchange it for money and get a spa!"

"Come on, brothers, send the streamer a wave of peaches to show him our love!"

"Even though the streamer earns millions a year, that doesn't stop me, who only earns a few hundred a month, from sending him peaches!"

The screen was soon filled with layers of pink peach emojis, almost obscuring the live stream.

Seeing the sudden surge in popularity, Xiao Xiao was moved. "Thank you, thank you, everyone!"

"Moderator, take note of the IDs. Anyone who sends peaches today, if you come to Yin'er City in the future, I'll treat you to a spa!"

...

Although the three themed towers of the Lion Lake Castle Hotel each have independent access points to the hotel,

since this was Xiao Xiao's first time staying in the castle, the carriage stopped back at the main lobby to prevent him from getting lost. From there, Xiao Xiao would take the main tower's corridor to the 8th floor to reach his room.

As soon as he entered the lobby, the butler warmly greeted him.

"Hello, sir. Sorry to trouble you for a minute."

"Our hotel's internal amusement park will open for the first time tomorrow. Since you are the first guest to enter through the hidden passage since the hotel's opening, we are granting you a one-day first-time free play privilege."

"You can enjoy all the amusement park attractions for free once."

"What, the hotel's amusement park?" Xiao Xiao looked at the butler with a "What are you talking about? Say that again" expression.

The butler smiled and said, "Yes, sir. Our hotel has specially built an internal amusement park to create a comprehensive and immersive vacation atmosphere for our guests. Tomorrow is the first day of operation, and you can enjoy your first visit for free."

"Internal amusement park... are you referring to a children's playground?" Xiao Xiao was a bit confused.

In his impression, amusement parks in hotels are usually for children, with few attractions for adults.

"Not a children's playground," the butler replied with a helpless smile. "Our hotel has both children's and adult amusement parks!"

"Of course! If you like, you can also visit the children's playground!"

Xiao Xiao asked, "But I already have plans for tomorrow. Can I go the day after?"

Tomorrow, he was supposed to visit the Magic Century Theme Park with Hua Du for a review. They would likely have to head out early in the morning and wouldn't return until evening, so he really wouldn't have time to play.

The butler replied, "Of course, sir. Your personal information has already been entered into our system. As long as you are staying at the hotel, you can enjoy your first free visit at any time."

The entire conversation was heard by everyone in the live stream.

"Wow... an amusement park inside a hotel? Never heard of that!"

"Isn't this hotel going a bit overboard? There's already a theme park next door, and they're building their own amusement park?!"

"Especially since the Magic Century Theme Park is right next door. Who would want to stay in a hotel and play in their little amusement park instead of going to the big one?!"

The comments in the live stream expressed various opinions about the Lion Lake Castle Hotel's amusement park, though many also showed curiosity and support.

"Honestly, a hotel that can build such a massive castle and have so much land and animals, I really think their amusement park won't be bad!"

"Exactly, amusement parks are all about having fun and enjoying yourself!"

"As long as the attractions are safe and there are no accidents, it's worth a visit!"

"If they dare to build an amusement park next to the Magic Century Theme Park, they must have something special!"

Seeing the enthusiasm in the live stream, Xiao Xiao was tempted.

This time, he and Hua Du came to the Zaomen Magic Century Theme Park not just to play, but to increase the popularity of their live stream through an immersive experience and introduction of the Magic Century theme.

In fact, during the trial operation of the Magic Century Theme Park, the two had already wanted to catch the wave of hype and be the first to release videos and guides.

But unfortunately, their luck was bad, and they never managed to secure a spot, so they had to wait until the official opening to visit.

The downside was obvious.

All the爆料 and攻略 had already been covered by the up主s who participated in the beta testing, leaving little else to explore.

So, the two came up with a split-screen idea: one person would stay at the Colorful Holiday Theme Hotel and enter the park an hour early.

The other would stay at the recently controversial Lion Lake Castle Hotel and enter the park during normal operating hours, hoping to attract viewers through this split-screen comparison.

But aside from the novelty of the "split-screen," the core content of the live stream hadn't changed.

However, the fact that the Lion Lake Castle Hotel also had an amusement park was something Xiao Xiao hadn't expected. After some thought, he asked:

"If I want to go tomorrow, do I need to make a reservation?"

The butler enthusiastically replied, "It's best to make a reservation. That way, the hotel can provide you with better service. Just let me know whenever you want to come, and I'll arrange it for you."

"Okay, thank you," Xiao Xiao said.

Xiao Xiao had booked a room in the Astrology Tower, so the butler led him along the 8th-floor corridor, crossing a bridge to reach the exclusive themed tower.

"Our hotel has three themed towers: the Astrology Tower, the Fairy Tower, and the Siren Tower. Each corresponds to a different view in the hotel."

"The Fairy Tower is located next to Rose Hill and offers garden views."

"The Siren Tower is located by the Emerald Lake and offers lake views. It's also the closest tower to the hotel's wishing pond."

"The Astrology Tower you've chosen is the highest point in the hotel, offering a panoramic view of the entire hotel, as if you're reaching for the stars. That's why it's called the Astrology Room."

As the butler explained, the interior of the Astrology Castle unfolded before Xiao Xiao's eyes.

The deep blue carpet covered the entire themed corridor of the castle. The lights on the walls mimicked the glow of the moon, evenly illuminating the carpet, creating the feeling of walking through a tranquil, starry night sky, as if you could reach out and touch the stars.

"This is your room," the butler said, stopping at a room door.

The room door seemed almost invisible, with the frame and lintel blending into the walls. The door was covered in scattered stars, and only the room number, illuminated by the ceiling light, allowed guests to find their specific room.

"It feels like I'm about to enter a planet," Xiao Xiao said with a laugh.

The butler smiled and said, "This is a themed room designed by our boss, inspired by astrological wizards. All the drinks at the bar in the room are complimentary, and guests staying in the room will receive a free wizard robe."

"If you plan to visit the amusement park tomorrow, please make sure to wear the wizard robe. Only guests wearing the hotel's themed attire are allowed to enter the amusement park."

Xiao Xiao was stunned. "Staying at a hotel comes with themed robes??"

He had never heard of such a thing!

"Yes, sir," the butler said with a smile. "This is a new special service introduced by our boss."

"Every guest staying at the hotel will receive a themed robe corresponding to their room."

"The Astrology Room comes with a wizard robe. The Fairy Room has an elf robe, and the Siren Room has a siren robe. The robes are of good quality and well-made. If the size doesn't fit, you can contact me to exchange it."

"You mean... I can take these clothes with me?" Xiao Xiao asked in shock.

"Yes, sir," the butler replied warmly.

"Then... do these clothes cost extra?" Xiao Xiao asked the most crucial question.

The butler smiled and said, "The robes are included in your room rate. There's no additional charge. You just need to enjoy your vacation."

"Finally, I wish you a pleasant stay!"

...

After escorting Xiao Xiao to his door and explaining the necessary details, the butler left without further disturbance.

"Beep!"

The room card unlocked the door,

revealing an elegant and bright room that resembled a starry sky.

The spacious, soft bed was covered in deep blue velvet, while the inside was pure white. The walls were painted in a light blue hue, reminiscent of the early morning light breaking through the darkness.

The ceiling was coated with some special paint. When the curtains were drawn and the lights turned off, even the slightest bit of light would reflect tiny, sparkling stars.

On the bed, a neatly folded robe was sealed in a garment bag, likely the wizard robe the butler had mentioned.

"Hey!"

"Gotta say, this robe is really well-made!"

Xiao Xiao opened the bag and shook out the robe.

The robe was light, soft, and long, reaching down to his calves. It felt warm to the touch, made of a bright blue velvet material with gold thread embroidering stars and a crescent moon. The large hood hung smoothly at the back, reflecting a shiny glow under the sunlight. The craftsmanship was exquisite and beautiful!

Xiao Xiao eagerly put on the robe. Although it was a bit large, it fit well. With the hood on, he looked a bit like Gandalf or Medivh, as if with a wave of his hand, he could summon a portal or conjure a little flower.

"There's even a crystal ball on the table!"

Suddenly, Xiao Xiao, now dressed in the star-and-moon wizard robe, noticed a crystal ball on the table.

The crystal ball was about the size of an adult's palm, placed on a crescent-shaped stand. At first glance, it resembled an enlarged version of Sailor Moon's transformation wand.

Behind the "transformation wand" stand was a power cord. Pressing the switch on the side, the crystal ball lit up, emitting a soft, milky white glow—a very atmospheric little lamp.

Next to the crystal ball lamp was a silver lamp adorned with blue gemstones.

"What's this? An Aladdin's lamp?"
