Chapter 79 Ah, Youth! Starting from Grade 1
Chapter 79 Ah, Youth! Starting from Grade 1
Spring goes and autumn comes, and Yufei feels like her life is on fast forward.
After 1998, Junlin Group began to develop rapidly, thanks to Director Yang's efforts to arrange their summer festival to be broadcast during prime time.
This has made Longyuan Town known to many people across the country, and they now know that the famous Junlin fruits and Junlin silks are produced in Longyuan Town.
Every year after that, the summer and winter vacations saw peak tourist seasons in their area.
Longyuan Town also began to develop rapidly. Yufei designed several main roads, which divided the doubled-sized Longyuan Town into four districts: east, west, south, and north.
Each area has a different theme; the East Zone is an immersive ancient experience area.
Yufei incorporated famous buildings from many different dynasties, along with scenes from later fantasy and martial arts novels, spending three years and investing 10 billion yuan to complete these massive and magnificent buildings in the eastern district.
Yufei also hired people from the town to work there. People from different dynasties would dress up as people from that dynasty and act as people from that dynasty during the day.
To allow visitors to immerse themselves in the life of ancient times
Many people come here to experience life, and some even rent rooms here long-term.
During summer and winter vacations, it gets even worse; Longyuan Town has to limit the number of people allowed in, otherwise it can't handle so many visitors.
Even many people from abroad have come here specifically for the East District, which is also what Yufei hoped for – auspicious purple clouds from the east, after all.
The west section is the sacrificial area. Since the successful summer festival in 1998, Yufei has also designed this area as a sacrificial area.
Inside, Yufei designed a haunted house with a specific atmosphere, while also incorporating elements from the famous tomb raiding genre of later generations.
It contains some treasures that Yufei put in, such as colorful silk and the Four Treasures of the Study produced by the space.
Once someone has cracked all the tomb raiding puzzles designed by Yufei, Yufei will introduce another plot point, changing the level and continuing the challenge.
It has become a favorite spot for many self-proclaimed smart people. The challenges here were all designed by Xu Junyi and his friends, including Yufei, as a place for intellectual exchange among these clever individuals.
They have designed five tomb raiding game scenarios, but they haven't yet cracked the first round's theme, "The Ghost Bride."
The clues in the haunted house themed around "The Ghost Bride" haven't all been found yet.
Not to mention the map and location of the cemetery; many of the levels designed by Yufei can only wait for the destined person to arrive.
In addition to the haunted house themed around "The Ghost Bride," there are also escape rooms and werewolf game rooms. The rest of the street is lined with snack shops, and going up the stairs leads to the Ancestral Temple.
The overall style here is dark, with large red lanterns hanging about 1 meter apart on both sides of the street.
The place felt eerie and mysterious, and the constant screams and panicked people from the haunted house and ghost bride added to the eerie atmosphere of the West End.
This place attracts adventurous people, but Yufei has the townspeople strictly control who comes; for example, people with heart conditions are not allowed to enter.
Currently, only the "Haunted Bride" themed room is open; the other themed haunted houses and tomb raiding rooms are not yet open. Yufei feels that there's no need to open the other themed rooms yet.
Fortunately, people at that time hadn't been exposed to many educational games, and "The Ghost Bride" and its series of tomb raiding games were enough to keep them entertained.
The North District is the modern district. This area is not much different from the 21st century where Yufei lives, but for the current Great Xia, it is already more modern than Shanghai. The headquarters of Junlin Group is located in this area.
Inside, Yufei recalled that a super department store had come from the future, introducing many international brands, products that Junlin was currently selling, and even luxury goods from Daxia that couldn't be bought elsewhere.
There are also ultra-five-star hotels, five-star Michelin restaurants, and Daxia Guzhenzhai, opened by Aunt Qiuju after her retirement, attracting many gourmets.
After arriving, they lingered at Aunt Qiuju's shop and refused to leave. Generally, people who love to eat, know how to eat, and can eat a lot are not lacking in economic means. In order to satisfy their appetites, they bought houses in Longyuan Town and lived there. The area where they bought houses is also in this northern district.
The houses in other areas are not open to outsiders, causing housing prices in the northern district to skyrocket. Now, they are even higher than those in Shanghai. This area is also one of the main sources of income for the Longyuan Town government.
The South District is where the college is located. Originally, the primary and secondary schools and the high school in Longyuan Town were not located together. However, due to the rapid economic development of Daxia, Junlin Group has also been expanding rapidly.
As money increased, so did investment in Longyuan Town. Four years ago, the town's primary and secondary schools and high school were expanded, connecting the two schools to form the southern district.
Yufei originally wanted to establish Longyuan Town University, but it's still not quite ready yet.
Without technology, they can't attract renowned scholars to their school; without renowned scholars, they can't attract outstanding talent. She wants to build a world-renowned university—a long and arduous journey indeed.
Her accumulated funds weren't enough yet. Dragon Baby said that once the space level increased a few more times, they could activate the teleportation array.
If she's lucky enough to be teleported to interstellar space or a post-apocalyptic world, she could trade some technology with the people there.
Even outdated technology is enough for their current society, let alone things in space that can only be exchanged for outdated technology.
To put her mind at ease, Yufei had initially felt a pang of regret that she hadn't been able to establish a good university for Xu Junyi and his friends when they were all in college, and that they had gone their separate ways. She still felt a little melancholy about parting ways.
Ever since Yufei was kidnapped by human traffickers when she was 5 years old, Liu Meili was traumatized and never dared to take Yufei on trips again until she entered junior high school.
This slowed down Yufei's species collection considerably; she had to rely on trading with other people to collect them.
The upgrade of her space has also slowed down; she hasn't collected 150 new species yet, and the space's level 4 hasn't been upgraded.
Now that she's about to enter high school, her mother isn't watching her as closely anymore, and the trauma from her childhood has faded considerably.
Hopefully, her three years of high school will allow her to level up to the point where she can build a teleportation array. However, building a university will take some time, so I wonder if she'll be able to attend the university she builds in time.
Today is Yufei's first day of high school, and also the first day of high school for Lin Tiantian, Zhao Jing, and her cousin Jiang Yifeng.
The high school in Longyuan Town is now well-known in Xiangcheng, and is already being hailed as the fifth most prestigious school in the city.
In particular, Xu Junyi's graduating class achieved a 90% rate of admission to key universities and a 100% university admission rate.
More than a dozen students were admitted to the prestigious Tsinghua University in Yandu, a feat that solidified Longyuan High School's reputation and made people from other provinces aware of Longyuan Town.
