Chapter 426: Chapter 416: The Truth About Punishment

After an evening of dreamless sleep, Xia Yue woke up leisurely at nine. She brushed, washed her face, got dressed, and headed to the hotel’s dining hall on her electric scooter. She ran into familiar tourists on the way and gave them a friendly nod of hello.

"Good morning, Sena. Miss Qu," Xia Yue greeted them cheerily as she entered the lobby.

"Good morning Boss Xia."

"Morning boss."

Sena and Qu Xin smilingly responded back.

"Sena, have you seen Manager Yan?" asked Xia Yue.

"He’s with Manager Zheng, I heard they are discussing how to implement the plans we talked about yesterday," Sena replied.

"Alright, thank you." Finishing her thanks, Xia Yue proceeded to have breakfast in the dining hall.

She didn’t take her time eating; this time she ate faster.

"Why the rush? Reincarnating or something?" Ao Mi asked curiously, seeing her eating so fast.

"Got to see Yan Mo, bye." After leaving her dishes in the wash basin, Xia Yue excused herself and ran off.

She rode her scooter back to the mansion, to the courtyard where the Marketing Team is located.

She entered a large room — their office — where a few members of the marketing team were immersed in tapping away at their keyboards.

"Good morning everyone, Can I talk to Managers Yan and Zheng here?" Xia Yue waved while cheerfully greeting everyone.

"Good morning, Boss Xia."

Upon hearing Xia Yue’s voice, four people in the office lifted their heads, offering her friendly smiles and greetings.

"The boss and Manager Yan are in that office discussing something." Xiaoan cheerfully relayed to her.

"Alright, thank you." Xia Yue thanked her before heading towards the office.

Arriving at the door, she knocked.

"Who is it?" came Manager Zheng’s voice from the inside.

"It’s me, Xia Yue," she replied.

Three seconds later, the door swung open from the inside.

"How come you’re here?" Yan Mo opened the door, looking at Xia Yue, and questioning.

"I’m here to talk about the tasks we need to complete within the next 100 days." Xia Yue looked at him and responded.

"Come on in," Yan Mo immediately got her point and stepped aside to let her in.

The office was small, with a simple set-up — a single table about a meter and a half long and eighty-five centimeters wide, six chairs, a projector, and a whiteboard.

Xia Yue randomly chose an empty seat and sat down.

After closing the door, Yan Mo sat next to her.

"New task?" Yan Mo asked.

Upon hearing about a new task, Manager Zheng immediately perked up, looking at Xia Yue.

"The new task arrived at midnight. This time, there are three sub-tasks and a time limit of a hundred days." Xia Yue got up, walked to the whiteboard, and wrote the tasks from the system task panel onto it.

"The rewards this time are medical supplies, various pharmaceuticals and herbs, and a health clinic.

The penalties are also quite severe. If one task isn’t completed, it’s alright, but if two aren’t completed, the resort will get hit by a typhoon of level ten or more. If none of the tasks get done, the Magic Castle will be taken back."

After writing all this down, Xia Yue sat down again and relayed the information to the duo.

"How can this be so serious?" Manager Zheng frowned upon hearing Xia Yue’s explanation.

"Perhaps it’s an attempt to keep us from becoming complacent with the benefits we’re currently enjoying," Yan Mo looked at the task and suggested.

"Alright." Manager Zheng nodded, having the feeling that this punishment was targeted at Xia Yue, to prevent her from slacking off.

He was right. The punishment was indeed targeted at Xia Yue.

Normally, there were no penalties associated with system tasks.

If tasks were not completed, the most that would happen was no rewards and a reduction in the benefits offered by the system, rather than direct punishment, like this, to the host.
