Chapter 107: Mission Triggered on a Thai Island? Watch how I exploit this loophole!
After the plane landed, the four of them took a taxi directly to the hotel booked by the tour guide.
Since it was already late, the group booked tickets online for the next day's itinerary. In addition to the basics like food and drinks, they also bought tickets for a ladyboy show.
……
The next day, after getting their makeup done, the group took a taxi directly to the venue for the ladyboy show, where the tour guide took them.
The tour guide was a Thai local, but he went to school in China, so he spoke Mandarin very well.
"Ice is banned where you are, so don't drink any beverages with this brand. Ice is legal in Thailand. After the ladyboy shows, it's best not to take photos casually, because they charge money, and there are some shady dealings involved. Some will deliberately get into the camera's view. Don't take photos of temples either, and don't touch children's heads..." The tour guide was good-natured and responsible, and he was still reminding the group of things to be aware of in Thailand before they got off the bus.
"Okay, thank you for reminding us." Hearing the tour guide's words, the group nodded in gratitude.
Because they were abroad, the four of them got a temporary SIM card before their trip so they could easily contact their families.
Before boarding the plane, Jiang Chengcheng had already sent her temporary phone number to her family and Sirius, who was far away in country E.
You can't just go on a trip and then lose contact with someone.
Aside from Chinese people, the audience for the ladyboy show consisted mainly of foreigners; surprisingly few locals were present. Perhaps they were simply used to it and therefore not particularly curious.
After watching the performance, the group followed the tour guide's advice and did not take photos. Instead, they searched online for popular photo spots and local specialties.
Ding!
Triggering famous international photo spots.
A check-in challenge is now being posted: Visit 3 popular tourist attractions in Thailand. (1/3)
Mission Rewards: Clear the ownership of the island and a luxury villa in Thailand.
Mission penalty: Time rewind failed.
Just as Jiang Chengcheng finished watching the ladyboy show and was about to leave with Liu Xixi and the others, the system's voice rang in her ears.
Clear outlying islands?
Hearing the system's words, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but feel curious. Where was this place?
As if sensing Jiang Chengcheng's confusion, the system quickly transmitted information about Qingli Island.
"Qingli Island is located in southeastern Thailand, covering an area of approximately 600 square kilometers. It is a maritime area under Thai jurisdiction, but due to its remoteness, it remains undeveloped."
Upon hearing the system's explanation, Jiang Chengcheng was utterly astonished. If there hadn't been so many pedestrians passing by, she would have jumped up!
600 square kilometers?
My God! Have the Thai authorities gone mad?!
They're even willing to sell such a large territory?
"That place is a difficult location to develop; it's neither worth keeping nor worth abandoning. Control isn't entirely in Thailand's hands, and the US is also eyeing it. So, in order not to offend anyone, the Thai government simply sold it off, letting others deal with the US!"
The system continues to explain.
……
On the other side, Jiang Chengcheng was still slowly processing this information.
After she finally came to her senses, a bold idea entered her mind.
"Can I transfer or cooperate in the development of this island under the name of China?"
Jiang Chengcheng asked tentatively.
……
"Theoretically, it's possible." After a moment of silence, the system guessed that Jiang Chengcheng was exploiting its bug again, and its tone was rather speechless.
"Great!" Jiang Chengcheng perked up upon hearing the system's words.
I've also started to consider what's on my mind.
Since Thailand dared to buy this land and felt it couldn't control it, then she dared to take it over!
Jiang Chengcheng was certainly not foolish enough to face the entire American army alone!
But behind her stands the entire nation of China!
If she cooperates with the country to develop this land, not only will she gain many benefits, but the country will also receive huge advantages!
You should know that the world today, just like in the past, has an international convention!
That's the island territory, automatically extending outwards by 12 nautical miles!
This is also the fundamental reason why China has been spending huge sums of money to reclaim land and build islands since the beginning of the 20th century!
However, unlike in his previous life, the conditions for the convention's judgment were not as strict! This gave Jiang Chengcheng an opportunity to exploit a loophole!
Other countries might be afraid of the US, but China today is not afraid at all! If the other side dares to attack, they dare to respond!
Jiang Chengcheng was naturally not afraid that the Chinese government would not accept the island, after all, it was a territorial extension of more than ten nautical miles!
"Chengcheng? What are you thinking about? Why aren't you leaving yet?" Liu Xixi and the other two asked Jiang Chengcheng, who seemed a bit lost in thought.
"Oh, I suddenly remembered something. Where are we going next?" Jiang Chengcheng, who had been called by the three, came back to her senses and said.
"It's already noon. We found a popular restaurant and we're going to try it out. Let's hurry up and go, it's really popular there!" Gao Xuanyi walked over and pulled Jiang Chengcheng's arm as she replied.
……
After leaving the performance venue, the group quickly arrived at the popular restaurant in the tour guide's car.
All four of them ordered their favorite dishes, and the food was served quickly.
But before they could even start eating, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.
"Ah! It looks like a really popular American variety show is filming here!"
"Ah!!! I know that! I know that! My idol Pellegrini is also participating! He's a famous Hollywood award-winning actor!"
"I remember there's also my goddess Beyoncé!"
"Ah!!! I'm so excited! Can I ask them for autographs? This trip to Thailand was definitely worth it!"
"I want one too, but they're surrounded by staff, so it's probably not possible. But being able to take a picture is already great!"
Hearing the commotion outside, Liu Xixi was the first to react.
"What? My idol is in Thailand? I have to go see him!" Upon hearing this, Liu Xixi jumped up from her seat and pulled the other three people towards the door.
"No? Xixi, isn't your idol Kwon Kyung? When did it change to Pellegrini?" Jiang Chengcheng hadn't even reacted when Liu Xixi pulled her outside, her face full of helplessness.
"Oh dear! A successful fangirl can't just have one idol!"
Upon arriving at the entrance, Liu Xixi had to stand on tiptoe and peer forward, trying to find her idol's head amidst the dark, constantly moving crowd!
"Oh dear! I can't see anything! There are too many people!" Liu Xixi looked around for a long time but couldn't even see a single hair of her idol, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
If you don't encounter this kind of thing, it's fine and you won't feel regretful. But if you do encounter it and don't see it, Liu Xixi will probably live in regret for the next month, feeling like she was just one step away from seeing her idol.
"Sigh! Come here!" Seeing the disappointment and dejection in Liu Xixi's eyes, Jiang Chengcheng sighed and said to her.
