Chapter 712 The Construction of Happy Valley (5)
Chapter 712 The Construction of Happy Valley (5)
Inside the selection area, the air was filled with ambiguity, anticipation, and a subtle excitement.
Lan Ze nudged Lan Xiao with his elbow and teased in a low voice, "Judging from this situation, will we have to take turns serving each other in bed from now on?"
Hua Xiange also pricked up her ears, plotting how to win favor.
In the women's area, Hua Yan'er looked around at the girls and thought that her appearance was quite outstanding. Full of confidence, she straightened her back.
Just then, the curtain was lifted again.
Everyone looked up and saw Ying Linlin leading two men with extraordinary bearing and top-notch looks into the room.
Ying Linlin could already be considered the most handsome man in Dragon Ridge Academy, but right now, those two faces behind him...
While bearing some resemblance to Ying Linlin, she also possesses a domineering presence and maturity that Ying Linlin lacks.
Their arrival was a great honor, even Lan Ze, who always prided himself on his good looks, was stunned by their presence.
"Linlin, who are these two?" Lan Xiao couldn't help but ask, a vague feeling that something was amiss.
Ying Linlin introduced them frankly: "This is my father, and this is my grandfather."
"grandfather?!"
"Father?!"
Lan Ze, Lan Xiao, and Hua Xiange exclaimed almost simultaneously, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.
Lan Ze pointed at them, his voice trembling: "You, you three... all together... this, this is outrageous!"
Some indescribable images were already flashing through his mind; it was simply outrageous!
The world is going to the dogs! The world is going to the dogs!
Hua Xiange frowned, her tone disapproving: "Even if the world belongs to the creator god, this matter is still... too contrary to human ethics and common sense, isn't it?"
Ying Linlin was taken aback at first, "What are you talking about?"
"You... how could the three of you all..." Lan Ze and the others still couldn't bring themselves to say those incredibly vulgar words.
Ying Linlin and her two grandchildren were completely bewildered. What was wrong with them?
Amidst the stares of onlookers who thought he was a pervert, it took them a great deal of effort to finally realize what they had misunderstood.
Her fair face flushed bright red instantly, not from embarrassment, but from anger!
Ying Linlin suddenly raised her voice, clear and indignant: "You! What filthy things are you thinking about!"
This shout drew the attention of everyone inside and outside the shed.
Ying Linlin shouted: "Happy Valley is a proper amusement park built by Youyou to enrich the lives of creatures on the continent and promote exchanges among different races!"
"We're being hired as staff! To perform, guide, and serve tourists!"
"It's a clean, honest, and upright career!"
Lan Ze: "Huh?"
Lan Xiao: "Huh?"
Hua Xiange: "Huh?"
There was silence.
So, the misunderstanding was this big?
Who the hell is it that insists Happy Valley is recruiting handsome men for that kind of thing?
"Youyou, is that really true?" Hua Xiange asked unwillingly.
Qin Youyou was speechless: "Of course, I made it very clear before, and it's also written in black and white on the recruitment poster. Don't you understand?"
Everyone:...
It's all their fault for overthinking.
"But God of Creation, you have countless forms, don't any of these countless forms have that kind of thought?"
Qin Youyou: ...
Is spring here? What are these guys thinking?
She chuckled, "I have countless forms; we can resolve this internally."
Everyone: ┌(.Д。)┐
With a loud crack, their jaws all fell off.
Is this even possible?!
In short, Lan Ze, Lan Xiao, Hua Xiange, and all the handsome men who dreamed of rising to the top were scorched and dumbfounded.
So... it wasn't a selection of concubines?
Is it... a part-time job?
This...this difference is just too big!
Everyone felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of ice water, chilled from head to toe.
They looked at each other, their faces flushing red and then turning pale, so embarrassed they wished they could disappear into the ground.
Qin Youyou watched their faces twitch, struggling to suppress her laughter.
Ying Cancan even clutched her stomach, laughing so hard she almost fell over, leaning against her incredibly handsome Qinglong husband.
Recruiting continues.
Some handsome men initially backed out because it wasn't a selection process for imperial concubines, but after seeing the benefits, they were all tempted again.
There's nothing else to it, the Creator God has given us far too much.
Besides, this is an industry personally involved by the Creator God. Not everyone can enter Wujiu City now, but everyone still has a chance at Happy Valley.
"Are you still queuing, everyone?" Qin Youyou asked.
Everyone gritted their teeth: "Line up!"
Time passed bit by bit.
The line was already at the very back.
Qin Youyou stretched, just about to leave work.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I need to see Youyou!"
An urgent voice came from afar.
Nangong Haoan, panting heavily, pushed through the crowd and rushed into the tent.
He had obviously flown all the way here from the capital of Phoenix Feather Kingdom. Even with the aid of a divine-level flying artifact, it would still take him more than an hour.
At this moment, Nangong Haoan's hair was blown back and his forehead was shiny like a hard-boiled egg. He rushed up to Qin Youyou, staring intently at her, and took a deep breath.
As if he had made a tremendous decision, he said, word by word:
"Youyou! I...I want to join Happy Valley too!"
Before Qin Youyou could answer, he quickly added, his tone unwavering and unyielding:
"No matter how many handsome men are in your Happy Valley, I don't care! But I have to be number one!"
"what?"
"That's right, whatever you need handsome men for, I'll be number one!"
"Are you sure? Being ranked first carries a huge responsibility."
Nangong Haoan was overjoyed.
So, the first place is the Empress, right?
Since Youyou has agreed, he definitely has to seize this opportunity.
"Youyou, it's my duty!"
Seeing his determination, Qin Youyou gave him a few more words of advice: "Are you really sure that the job at the very top is the most physically demanding and has the highest workload? I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
"I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm certain!" Nangong Hao'an raised his hand and swore.
"Oh, wait a moment, let me ask everyone's opinion."
Qin Youyou turned around, revealing the handsome men behind her. After thinking for a moment, she summoned Ling Yi Er San Si.
“These four are the four main managers. As long as they and the newcomers have no objections, then I have no objections either.”
Nangong Haoan's heart skipped a beat when he looked at the dozens or even hundreds of top-tier handsome men.
There are so many newcomers.
And the four chief officials are the four imperial concubines, right?
Heh, once he becomes empress, these guys will be completely at his mercy.
He immediately adopted the airs of an empress, putting his hands in his sleeves and raising his chin: "It seems Youyou has no objections. What about you all?"
His eyes held a subtle warning.
Everyone froze.
Who is this guy? He comes in wanting to be the boss right away.
The Lan brothers, Hua Xiange, and other newcomers dared not speak out against their anger.
They all looked towards the four ancient gods in front of them, Ling Yi Er San Si.
The four exchanged glances.
Ling Yi smiled gently and said, "Brother, are you sure you can do it?"
"Of course!" Nangong Haoan said loudly.
Ling Er revealed a small tiger tooth and hugged Qin Youyou's arm: "Of course, the first place belongs to the capable, unlike me, who is just my sister's good younger brother."
Ling San was still in her mature and elegant form at this moment. She stroked her chin and looked Nangong Hao'an up and down: "He doesn't look strong enough."
"I can train!" Nangong Hao'an immediately protested.
Ling San didn't make things difficult for him, and simply said, "That's good."
Ling Si remained as taciturn as ever, nodding slightly: "Congratulations."
Nangong Haoan felt relieved and looked at Ling Si with satisfaction.
Well, of the four imperial concubines, only the fourth one is somewhat honest.
He won't make things too difficult for him in the future.
Nangong Haoan took the contract from Qin Youyou, signed it without even looking at it.
Qin Youyou handed him a badge: "Welcome to Happy Valley!"
■
After more than a month of intensive preparations.
The "Fantasy Amusement Park," brimming with creativity, has finally opened to great anticipation!
On the opening day, the park was packed with people, with tourists from all ethnic groups jostling shoulder to shoulder, their laughter and cheers reaching the sky.
With a mix of excitement and trepidation, Nangong Haoan arrived at the staff changing area early, led by his attendants.
He had already rehearsed the scenario of "being number one" countless times in his mind.
Perhaps it's standing beside Youyou, receiving the adoration of the masses; perhaps it's having a private, most magnificent bedchamber...
In short, it must be extremely prestigious and a symbol of status.
However, when he received the clothes from the staff, he froze.
This... what is this?
The outfit I received was extremely brightly colored and made with very little fabric.
A bright purple, tight-fitting crop top, covered in colorful sequins, revealing a large expanse of her chest.
The bright green lantern pants were so short that the legs barely reached below the knee.
The most outrageous thing is that it is connected to a pair of huge, fluffy, colorful... butterfly wings.
"What... what kind of outfit is this? Did you get the wrong one?" Nangong Haoan pointed at the clothes, his face full of disbelief.
The attendant said in a cheerful tone, "Mr. Nangong, this is the costume you're wearing for the 'Wonderland Romance' parade today, where you play the Happy Elf King! It suits your temperament perfectly! Hurry up and change, the parade is about to start, and you'll be first in line!"
"A...a costume? The Happy Elf King?" Nangong Hao'an stood there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.
The fantasy of "empress's gorgeous clothes" and "scepter and crown" in my mind instantly turned into shattered bubbles.
He swallowed hard. "Then... what does 'ranked first' mean?"
The little servant's eyes sparkled.
"You are the leader of our 'Wonderland Romance' formation, the soul of the entire parade. You need to stand at the very front, jump the hardest, have the brightest smile, and shout the loudest slogans! It all depends on you to liven up the atmosphere!"
As they were talking, the curtain to the changing room was lifted, and handsome men who had changed into all sorts of strange costumes came out one after another.
There was a "Forest Prince" wearing a leaf dress, a "Dream Knight" wearing a unicorn headgear, and a "Wishing Fairy" wearing a starlight cape... Everyone's face was filled with embarrassment.
When they saw Nangong Haoan's deathly pale face, and then looked at the outrageous costume in his hand, they instantly felt better.
Ah, and here's the worst part.
Lan Ze leaned over and patted Nangong Hao'an on the shoulder: "Brother Nangong, oh no, Your Majesty the Elf King, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, keep it up!"
Ying Linlin said with a serious face, "Your Highness the Elf King, you must perform well later. We will all dance with you."
Looking at the group of demons and monsters in front of him, and then looking down at the extremely embarrassing outfit in his hand, Nangong Haoan felt dizzy.
The favor, power and status he imagined were actually just wearing this kind of thing and leading a dance in front of everyone.
"Can I...can I back out?" he asked weakly, clinging to his last shred of hope.
The attendant maintained his professional smile: "Mr. Nangong, the contract has been signed. Absenteeism or shirking will result in a deduction of wages and will affect your subsequent popularity ranking bonus! Think about your ranking, think about the glory of the Nangong family!"
Nangong Haoan froze. He hurriedly rummaged through his storage bag and finally pulled out the contract that he had crumpled up and tossed in from a corner. He then carefully read through it.
Then, feeling utterly hopeless, he plopped down on the ground.
"The contract, it really is written like that!" Why the hell didn't he read the contract carefully back then!
Just then, cheerful music and the host's enthusiastic shouts came from outside:
"Dear visitors! Let's welcome the grand opening show of our 'Fantasy Amusement Valley'—the 'Wonderland Romance' float parade—with the warmest applause and cheers!"
"Mr. Nangong! Hurry! It's time to go on stage!" the elf urged.
The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
If I were to run away at the last minute, Youyou would probably look down on me even more.
Why not take this opportunity...
He glanced at all the handsome men in the room, knowing that only by winning the Best Employee award could he, Nangong Haoan, prove that he was the most outstanding among them.
"Jump!"
He let out a low growl and stormed into the locker room.
A few minutes later, a “Happy Elf King” dressed in bright purple and emerald green, exposing his chest muscles, carrying huge butterfly wings, and forcing a smile, walked out awkwardly.
"puff--"
The waiting handsome men couldn't help but want to laugh, but then they remembered that their own attire wasn't much better, so they awkwardly stopped themselves.
"Stop laughing! Let's go!" Nangong Haoan forced himself to walk out of the preparation area first.
Upon arriving at the main parade route, the deafening music, the shower of petals and ribbons, and the curious and excited gazes of countless tourists on both sides of the road instantly overwhelmed the handsome men.
These are all prominent figures; it's natural to feel a little awkward on the first meeting.
Even someone with the thickest skin would want to disappear into a crack in the ground at this moment.
What's even more frightening is that he and the Lan brothers saw many members of the Lan family among the tourists who came to support them.
"Young masters! Keep it up!"
The Lan brothers wished they could just die on the spot.
The Nangong family also had many supporters. They stared excitedly at Nangong Hao'an and shouted, "Patriarch, Patriarch, we're here!"
Nangong Haoan took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "Calm down, calm down."
"Jump up! Elf King! Lead your people!" The voice of the on-site commander beside him, imbued with spiritual power, shouted at him.
Nangong Haoan closed his eyes. "Stay calm, stay calm."
When he opened his eyes again, all that remained was a resolute determination to give up!
"Ah—!" he cried out in anguish.
Then, he stiffly twisted and turned, shouting with all the strength he had ever mustered: "Welcome—to—the—wonder—of—the—fairy—land—and—the—fairy—destiny—!"
