《Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class》Chapter 118: Eastern Sea Dragon Palace

Wang Jiajun returned home.
At this moment, Huan Huan was reading attentively in the study room.
Wang Jiajun came to the door and knocked lightly.
"Huan Huan!"
She turned around and immediately walked over.
"Daddy, what did the teacher say? Did something happen to my results?" Huan Huan asked very calmly.
Wang Jiajun took out her test paper and said gently, "Huan Huan, tell me, why did you only write the answers but not the steps to solve the questions?"
He believed that his daughter did not cheat. If she showed her work, then he would have proof of her innocence.
Huan Huan glanced at the test paper and said seriously, "These questions are too simple.
"When I read the questions, the answers popped up in my head, so I didn't write the steps to solve the question."
Wang Jiajun continued in a gentle voice, "What if Daddy wants to see the steps to solve these questions? Will you write them for Daddy?"
Huan Huan happily replied, "If Daddy wants to read it, I'll definitely write it."
She took the test paper, picked up a pen, and started answering the questions.
In less than ten minutes, Huan Huan had given all the questions a solution.
"Daddy, come and take a look," Huan Huan shouted.
"That was quick?" Wang Jiajun was surprised.
He walked over, picked up the test paper, and read through it again. His expression changed.
Huan Huan's solutions were simple and efficient. However, it didn't seem like something a third-grade student could write.
Wang Jiajun was surprised. When did his daughter become so smart?
As he marveled, he noticed the books on the table.
"Introduction to Advanced Algebra"
Wang Zhixing had bought this book for him back when he was in university.
But because the content was too profound, he did not read it again.
This book had been stowed away on the bookshelf for more than ten years. Now that it had appeared on the table, Wang Jiajun was quite surprised.
Was she reading this book just now? Wang Jiajun thought to himself.
Then, he asked Huan Huan, "Huan Huan, were you reading this book just now?"
Huan Huan nodded and said excitedly, "This book is very interesting. Why didn't I know about it before?"

Wang Jiajun was bewildered. "Huan Huan, can you understand this book?"
Huan Huan nodded, her gaze exceptionally honest.
She picked up the book and flipped to one of the pages. Then, pointing at the formula, she said a whole bunch of mathematical technical terms and solutions.
Wang Jiajun was stunned. He didn't understand her, but he could tell that his daughter understood what was written in this book.
For a moment, he was stunned.
At the same time, he had come to a realization.
Of course, she thought the exam was simple!
She even understands advanced algebra. Of course, she would be able to solve elementary school questions with her eyes closed.
But when did she become so talented?
As a father, he actually knew nothing.
But none of that mattered anymore.
That night, after his wife, Lin Juan, got off work, Wang Jiajun talked to her about Huan Huan's grades and her genius IQ.
After listening to him, Lin Juan was equally shocked and excited.
…
At the dining table.
Huan Huan said, "Dad, didn't you say that you were going to bring us to the seaside? You can't go back on your words, okay? Oh right, you also have to bring Grandpa along."
Wang Jiajun smiled and said, "Of course, Dad didn't forget. I've already picked a place."
Huan Huan's eyes sparkled. Then, she asked curiously, "Let me guess. Are we going to Valley Sea?
"I heard from my classmates that the islands are beautiful there. There are also many places to play."
Lin Juan felt the same way, so she added, "Valley Sea isn't far away from Beichuan. We'll arrive in less than five hours by high-speed rail."
However, Wang Jiajun shook his head. "I wanted to go there too, so I went to ask my friends who were there.
"But, my friend told me that the waters around the Valley Sea are under lockdown, and that it has been like for some time.
"He told me to go somewhere else."
Lin Juan faltered for a moment, then asked with confusion, "Has Valley Sea been on lock down? Why wasn't it reported on the news?"
Wang Jiajun thought for a while and said, "I'm also quite puzzled about this. So I specially called the travel agency to confirm it.

"They gave me the same answer as my friends did. They all told me to choose another sea."
"Did they mention the reason for the lockdown?"
"Something was found at the bottom of the sea. The state is evaluating it. It'll take some time."
"I see! Then we really can't go then."
Wang Jiajun smiled and said, "Although Valley Sea is a no-go, I've found a better place.
"We're going to the Eastern Sea this time."
"Eastern Sea? That far?" Lin Juan was surprised. "The plane tickets and hotels will cost a lot, not to mention the expenses there. It's the most expensive of all seaside attractions."
Wang Jiajun smiled and said, "Money is not a problem. The most important thing is for you guys to have fun."
"Alright then! You're the head of the family, we'll listen to you."
Huan Huan said happily, "Then I'll tell Grandpa."
"Don't worry. I've already spoken to Grandpa."
…
Two days later, Wang Jiajun and his family boarded a plane to the Eastern Sea.
After several hours of flight, they finally arrived at their destination.
The Eastern Sea was the largest in Xia country.
The seawater here was as blue as the sky, and there were countless seafood delicacies. At the same time, there was a sea hotel known to be the largest in the world. It was said to hold more than three thousand rooms.
The hotel was very stylish. It was called Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
Almost everyone who came to visit would go to this hotel.
The Eastern Sea Dragon Palace had various venues for people to enjoy.
Of course, it was quite expensive at more than 3,000 yuan per night for the lowest-priced room.
This was considered to be for the more affordable rooms. Usually, the people who came here would stay in such rooms in this range.
However, there were only 500 of those rooms, and they could not be reserved. Moreover, they were only available for a night's stay.
So, it took a lot of luck to stay in such a room.
And the best rooms were said to cost millions per night.
At that price, the service provided was naturally at the imperial level.
Although it was expensive, it required a booking several weeks in advance.
It was obvious that there were many wealthy people in this world.
…
After Wang Jiajun and company had lunch, they finally arrived at the beach after a short drive.
Eastern Sea's beach was also the largest in Xia country.
The sand on the beach was fine, soft, and comfortable to step on.
"Grandpa, I want to build a big castle for you, like the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace."
After Huan Huan arrived at the beach, she immediately took out her tools and piled up some sand.
Wang Zhixing took a shovel and helped her build a "big castle."
"Dad, Lin Juan and I will book the rooms first," Wang Jiajun came over and said.
"Yes! I'lll watch Huan Huan, don't worry."
By the time they returned, more than two hours had passed.
Wang Zhixing asked, "Why did it take you so long to book the rooms?"
Lin Juan complained, "He insisted on staying in the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace."
Wang Zhixing was surprised.
He knew how expensive their rooms were.
Since rooms were only used for sleeping, he felt no need to spend so much money on them.
Moreover, his son did not have a job now. That was too extravagant for him.
Wang Jiajun understood his father's thoughts.
When he thought about it, he felt extremely guilty for his lack of concern for his father when he was busy working.
Now that he had time, he wanted to make up for it.
At night, the family of four checked into Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, the largest hotel in the world.
It was quite luxurious.
Wang Jiajun booked two rooms. Although they were those of the lowest price range, the facilities and decorations in the rooms were even better than those of five-star hotels.
That night, they did not fall asleep for a long time. Their brains were too excited.
After all, it was such an expensive room. It might be the only time in their life to stay here.
Late at night, the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was still very lively.
At the entertainment venues, they continued playing music.
All of a sudden, the entire hotel shook. The chandeliers swayed left and right, flickering.
The next moment, the entire hotel shook as if there were an earthquake.
Meanwhile…
About three kilometers away from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
A massive creature suddenly emerged from the sea. At the same time, there were two huge black shadows behind it.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
