Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system-Chapter 697 - 685: Deceiving or Real?

Qu Xin patiently helped check Yan’s grandfather’s health.

"Although the old man still has some high blood pressure, it is not too serious. However, he still needs to pay attention to his diet, try not to eat too much greasy food," Qu Xin said after his checkup, looking at Yan Mo.

"Can I still drink alcohol? I’ve been drinking here for half a month without any problems," Yan’s grandfather anxiously asked. As long as the food tastes good, he doesn’t care if it’s greasy or light, but he must have alcohol.

"You can drink a little, but not too much. You’re not young anymore," Qu Xin advised honestly. Seeing the grandfather’s obsession with alcohol, he felt it was better to stress the point.

"Thank you, Dr. Qu. I understand," Yan Mo nodded, then turned to his grandfather. "Let’s go, I’ll take you back to rest. You can drink, but not too much. If you still want to stay here and drink too much, I will make sure you can’t touch alcohol for a whole month."

"You ungrateful grandson, I am your grandfather, not one of your subordinates," Yan’s grandfather protested fiercely, staring at Yan Mo.

Yan Mo ignored his words, accompanied him back to the hotel, and then left.

Then he called his parents to ask about the situation and why his grandfather was here alone without anyone accompanying him.

After returning to her room, Xia Yue lay in bed, comfortably rolling around.

"Nothing beats the comfort of my own bed at home," she said blissfully.

Chuckling, the system jumped onto the bed, looking at her with a sneer.

"Why are you making such an unpleasant laugh?" Xia Yue asked, puzzled. As far as she could tell, she hadn’t done anything wrong since she got back.

"Don’t you feel a sense of urgency?" The system inquired, sounding disappointed.

"Urgency about what?" Xia Yue was confused by its cryptic question.

"Look at Xia Xi, she is of pure Houtu bloodline, and it’s up to 65%. Don’t you feel inferior? Doesn’t that make you feel somewhat ashamed? Don’t you feel like you need to work harder and not let her surpass you? You’re my host after all!" The system blurted out irately.

Now that Xia Xi had arrived with such a high awakening degree, it was evident that as long as she continued to cultivate diligently, she could definitely increase her level of bloodline awakening, and she might even become stronger than the host.

After all, it took some effort to help her host activate her bloodline to such a high degree in the first place. How could she have started so high otherwise?

"She’s always been better than me. Consider her experiences, her background, doesn’t she seem like a real heiress protagonist in a novel?

If I wasn’t so astute, I could easily be the fake rich girl, the ill-fated second female lead.

So it’s only natural that she is stronger than me." Xia Yue thought it was talking about something serious, so she was exasperated when it turned out to be this, reasoning it intently.

"But now you’re stronger than her. If you work as hard as she does, she will certainly not catch up to you," the system still attempted to persuade her.

"System, you’ve changed. Before, you just wanted me to grow stronger, but now you want me to compete with others even though I’ve already improved," Xia Yue sat up and accused the system.

"Times change. Everyone is striving to become stronger, and so must you," replied the system.

"System, you need to calm down. What we need to focus on now is improving the vacation-zone. Otherwise, in spite of my travel to all those worlds and inviting so many people, if our base here is not proper, they might feel unsatisfied or disappointed when they arrive. You’ve said it yourself, their evaluation is very important to both you and me," Xia Yue patiently advised.

By now, she had learned that she could not explicitly admit her lethargy. Otherwise, the system would relentlessly nag at her. She had to divert it onto another problem to calm it down.

The system watched as Xia Yue spoke.

"Look, our vacation-zone now only has two things to play with, the Ghost House and the Fantasy Space. We don’t even count the pet house as a play spot yet, and entertainment options are pitifully scarce.

So we must focus on developing various recreational programs in the vacation-zone in the following stage to attract more people, and only then should we invite people from different worlds. freёnovelkiss.com

When those people arrive and see how vibrant this place is, they will surely think we are good at management. First impressions count. This will boost their goodwill for the vacation-zone.

If we lack entertainment options and many places are desolate with few guests, they will surely reckon this place as subpar. Think about it, they would find this and that uninteresting, how can we expect high ratings then," Xia Yue blabbed on about her ideas, attempting to distract its attention from the matter of outdoing Xia Xi.

After listening to her argument, the system thought it made sense. Before inviting people from other worlds to the vacation-zone for fun, they should first work on improving the vacation-zone itself.

"How do you plan to improve the vacation-zone?" the system inquired while looking at her.

"I have already planned. Looking at the Cosmic Coins in my system, it’s plausible for me to purchase two more entertainment programs and open up the Commercial Street. This way, we’ll have food, drinks, and fun things. It’s bound to attract quite a number of people," Xia Yue revealed her prior prep work to the system while grinning.

"Your plan sounds a bit rough. You better present it to Zheng Tang and others for review. Be aware not to rush into things. Spending all your money and not achieving the anticipated results would be a waste," the system advised, relieved to see her put effort into the work however unsatisfactory it might be.

"I understand. I know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know sometimes it’s important to get a professional’s evaluation," Xia Yue agreed with a nod and a smile.

"It’s great that you know your limits. Now, I’m going to play with the little black cat. You should take a nap," satisfied by her attitude- a stark improvement from her previous apathetic demeanor, the system dropped the discussion, hopped off the bed, and left to catch up on the TV dramas it had missed with Xuanxuan.

Watching its disappearing figure, Xia Yue patted her chest and took a deep breath.

Finally, it’s gone. Time to sleep, and then I’ll think about other things.

With these thoughts in her mind, Xia Yue changed into her pajamas and began her nap.

The bed was so comfortable that she didn’t wake up until past three in the afternoon.

As she saw the late hour, she lazily got up, washed her face, changed her clothes, and headed out.

She went to the pet house to check on the sea otter. During this period, the otter was alone in the pet house, initially surprising and astonishing the tourists. Some even thought the vacation-zone was exploiting the otter and reported it to the relevant authorities. However, when the authorities came to investigate, they found that the otter was working to earn its food.
