Chapter 229 Alice Hotel
Chapter 229 Alice Hotel
When she arrived outside the platform, Xu Weiwei's vision was no longer obstructed, and the city ahead suddenly appeared before her.
Several blue water columns rising into the sky strongly attracted Xu Weiwei's attention. They were in the shape of a rotating hyperbolic surface similar to the Guangzhou Tower, rising in a spiral.
Xu Weiwei's neck tilted back along the height of the water column, her eyes opened wider and wider, and finally she pointed to the top of her head and said incoherently: "The sky... the sea... we have the sky above the sea, no, there is the sea in the sky... the sea is in our sky, I mean above our heads..."
Everyone laughed.
"What are you looking at?" McQueen pointed at her.
Xu Weiwei looked towards the nearest water column, and saw a handsome, burly man with beautiful muscles, like a model, holding a package in his hand. He stepped into it very naturally, and then his feet were lifted into the air by the water flow and flew upwards.
Xu Weiwei watched with her own eyes as the man's legs turned into a thick fish tail. The tip of the tail hooked up and flexibly caught the falling pants and held them in his hand.
A few seconds later, the man, no, the man, the fish had become too small to be seen. Xu Weiwei hurriedly turned on the optical computer and raised the camera's magnification to the highest level, and only then was she able to capture a vague shadow.
The water column carried him into the sea, and then the man swam in one direction and finally disappeared completely from sight.
Xu Weiwei retracted her gaze, "Uncle, what's going on? Why is that person... this water column..."
She thought they had come out of the sea and onto the shore. Logically, the sea should be under their feet, no, the sea should be above them. The terrain had been getting lower as they came in, but how come there was sea under their feet and above their heads... Xu Weiwei's mind was completely confused.
"That person is a mermaid from the planet Mengmed. He is just going home after get off work. The locals call this water column the 'Fountain of Sighs'. You can think of it as an elevator for the mermaids to go home."
"Mermaids also have to work?" Xu Weiwei asked in surprise.
"Of course, this entire city-state is a huge scenic spot, and staff are needed to keep it running. The city has abundant food and a stable environment, which is much better than living in the wild, eating raw food, and facing life threats from natural enemies."
"That mermaid must be poor and can't even afford a house in the main city, so she has to go back to live there after get off work."
Xu Weiwei: “…”
Why is it that in the world of mermaids, everyone still feels pressure to buy a house...
"Uncle, why does this happen? At first I thought the land was under the deep sea, but when we came out the terrain was higher, so I thought we found another exit and floated up from the bottom of the sea. Now, there is another sea above our heads, and we are sandwiched between two seas like a hamburger..."
"Remember what I told you? Behind the whirlpool gate is a magical world called Dreammed. Because of the magic, the water here will flow upstream."
"Only children believe in magic." Xu Weiwei muttered.
Ryan's eyes sparkled: Hmm??? No?
McQueen rubbed Xu Weiwei's head vigorously with his big hand. "Anything that cannot be explained by science, other than magic, what else could it be? Don't think too much, or you won't grow taller."
Ryan nodded: That’s right!
As he spoke, McQueen led everyone to an aerial tram station, entered the reservation code, and a carriage drove out from behind the wall.
After everyone is on board, the door is closed and the vehicle drives straight to the predetermined destination.
The interior of the car was very luxurious, with velvet cushions on the seats, an LCD TV, a massage chair, and a small refrigerator. McQueen took a box of ice cream from the refrigerator for Xu Weiwei, and then told others to help themselves.
"Thank you, uncle~!" Xu Weiwei said happily.
This is one of the reasons why she likes McQueen. As long as she wants to eat something or do something, her uncle will satisfy her without hesitation. Even if she says she wants to eat human flesh, her uncle will first get a piece and fry it for her while complaining about her strange taste.
In front of her parents, she would suppress her preferences to a certain extent, but not in front of her uncle.
"It's too cold. Take it out and let it sit for a while before eating." Mrs. Seaforth said worriedly.
"In summer, you have to eat cold food. It will melt quickly in such a hot day."
"Don't worry, Wei'er. When you come to your uncle's place, you can eat whatever you want. Don't worry if you get a stomachache. Your uncle has even prepared painkillers."
Xu chuckled slightly.
Sifos's temples were throbbing, but he held back and said nothing. Adjutant Qiu, who knew his temper, could not help but look at him sideways.
Sifos glared back: What are you looking at? I'm not afraid of him, I'm just giving my brother-in-law some face!
Adjutant Qiu snorted, turned his head and leaned against the glass to look at the scenery, holding an ice-cold beer in his hand and taking a sip, feeling extremely refreshed.
The nature of the aerial tram is similar to the shared car that Wolfhard and his son took on the planet Return Wind, except that the cost is higher. In order to facilitate the viewing, the speed of the tram is not very fast, but because it travels in a straight line in the air, it is not too fast.
In less than half an hour, everyone arrived at their destination.
As the highest-standard hotel in the main city of Mengmed, Alice Hotel is very busy, and the people coming and going in front are all guests staying here. Those who can come here to play are all wealthy and powerful people, and naturally they will choose the best environment.
In front of the hotel is a beautiful and charming mermaid statue, which looks very young. It is said that the statue is of the king’s favorite daughter, Alice. Even the hotel is named after her.
The tram stopped on the roof of the hotel and the group took the elevator down to check in.
Sifos and his friends booked a luxury suite on the top floor, which was over 300 square meters and was right opposite McQueen and his friends.
"I was wondering who owned that empty room. No one has moved in for half a month. Turns out it's you."
"There's not one left?" Mrs. Wolfhard's delicate eyebrows knitted together.
"I'm sorry, this is the situation right now. There are too many tourists recently. But these people should be your friends, right? You can discuss staying together first. The luxury suite is very large. Once a tourist checks out, we will arrange for you to stay."
The mermaid lady at the front desk spoke with reason and in a pleasant voice, so Mrs. Wolfhard could not get angry at all.
Winking at her best friend, Mrs. Wolfhard said in a pinched voice, "Is it okay, dear?"
Mrs. Seaforth laughed. "Of course. A warm welcome."
Everyone was satisfied, except for Seaforth, who kept sulking on the way back to his room.
Adjutant Qiu poked him and said, "What are you doing? Am I not an outsider as well? Be friendly to the ladies."
Sifos gritted his teeth and said, "You said you wanted to sleep with my wife, I could throw you off the 18th floor. She said she wanted to sleep with my wife, and my wife took the initiative to lift the quilt and push me down."
