Chapter 450 There are always people in this world busily searching for "signals".
After arriving at the destination set by the navigation, the koi-shaped mount hovered steadily in the air.
"Descend to a height of ten meters above the ground and follow my instructions."
Bai Mengran then began issuing verbal commands to control her mount to continue flying.
As the mount slowly descended, the surrounding visibility gradually became clearer.
From this height, you can see everything on the ground.
Bai Mengran nudged Xiao Caihong beside her and, relying on her intuition and the close-up details of the zoomed-in map, quickly located a desolate, uninhabited jungle area within a certain radius.
Her intuition told her that the cell tower was likely hidden in this area!
So, Bai Mengran maneuvered her mount to hover low over the jungle, while she scanned the area with her eagle eyes, searching for targets that might resemble signal base stations.
"嘤嘤嘤!!!"
Little Rainbow beside her seemed to sense something and suddenly let out an excited cry.
Bai Mengran also felt a strong premonition that the target was nearby.
Just then, within her field of vision, countless towering trees stood majestically.
When the mount flies over this area, it has to increase its altitude in order to get a panoramic view.
"The trees here are so tall and dense, could the cell tower be hidden among them...?"
Bai Mengran secretly guessed what was going on, and then her gaze was drawn to a straight and tall tree trunk not far away.
The tree was so conspicuous that she noticed it at a glance.
She immediately shouted to stop her mount. "Haha, stop! System, is that 'conspicuous bag' in the bushes the first cell tower I'm looking for?"
[Ding, congratulations host, you have successfully located [Anshun State Signal Base Station 1]!]
The base station is now officially operational and has successfully connected with "Wonderland" network, achieving network coverage between the two stations. It's officially connected to the internet!
As the system announcement sounded, the "tree" stopped appearing.
An invisible beam of light shot straight into the sky, as if activating a long-dormant signal connection, instantly covering this entire area.
"Haha, it really is that conspicuous bag hiding in the pile of trees! My intuition is so accurate~ Now I've finally figured out the pattern, and I'll have more experience in finding base stations in the future."
Immediately afterwards, Bai Mengran continued northward, hoping to find as many base stations as possible within a day.
Sure enough, with the previous experience, the subsequent job search was incredibly efficient.
Most of the afternoon was spent traveling.
However, this did not stop Bai Mengran from enjoying her time. She leisurely browsed the horror live streams in [Fairyland], occasionally eating something and drinking something, mainly in a relaxed manner.
When she gets tired, she looks down at the beautiful natural scenery at her feet, lets her mind wander for a while, and then she relaxes completely.
Before nightfall, Bai Mengran found a total of five signal base stations.
Upon opening the map distribution map, it was found that all base stations in the northern area of [Fairyland] have been fully unlocked.
These "obvious" base stations, disguised in all sorts of ways to increase the difficulty of finding them, are located in all sorts of bizarre places.
Some stand tall atop mountains, while others sit alone on islands...
There are even more bizarre ones!
Behind the long-abandoned courtyard of the Forbidden City, a seemingly ordinary stone pillar is actually a signal base station. Can you believe it?
To find the base station, Bai Mengran rode her mount and disappeared into the clouds, exploring half of the palace.
She had guessed from the beginning that the base station might be in the palace, but she never expected it to be in such a remote corner of the abandoned cold palace...
Moreover, that stone pillar was extremely deceptive. If Bai Mengran hadn't been sharp-eyed and noticed that it was a bit thicker than the other pillars, she really wouldn't have been able to spot this "imposter."
If Bai Mengran hadn't discovered this detail, she probably would have been relentlessly sneaking into the palace at night, determined to find it!
However, during her search for a signal base station, Bai Mengran unexpectedly stumbled upon something amusing.
While she was patrolling the skies above the palace, she unexpectedly spotted the Lord Wang who had left a particularly deep impression on her.
I wonder what heinous crime Lord Wang has committed?
In broad daylight, he was punished by having to copy a "recipe" in front of a table full of mouthwatering food.
The scene was truly outrageous, and Bai Mengran's curiosity was immediately piqued!
She wanted to see what was really going on.
Bai Mengran found it extremely amusing, and even deliberately landed not far above Lord Wang's head to become an invisible spectator, watching the spectacle on her own.
The plump Lord Wang was so tempted by the delicious food on the table that his stomach was rumbling loudly, the sound particularly clear in the quiet air.
He held a calligraphy brush in his hand, trembling as he copied down the incredibly tempting recipe.
Lord Wang muttered to himself, something like, "It's all my fault for having such a loose tongue..." "Words can be dangerous..." "This is the terrible consequence of angering the Emperor..."
It seems they're being punished here for some reason.
"Haha, this punishment feels like it's deliberately messing with people, right? And it's specifically designed for foodies, that's really mean..."
Bai Mengran secretly found it amusing, and glanced sympathetically at Lord Wang, who was desperately swallowing his saliva and starving.
At this moment, the eunuch standing nearby, unfazed, rubbed salt into Lord Wang's wound and slowly said:
"Lord Wang, you'd better hurry up and finish copying. There are only two more copies left to finish. If you don't hurry, it'll be dark soon..."
"This servant isn't complaining about being punished here with you, but is genuinely worried about you. You've been hungry all day, and I'm afraid you'll get sick from hunger. So, you'd better hang in there!"
Upon hearing that he would have to copy it twice more, the chubby Lord Wang shuddered violently, his entire body deflated like a punctured balloon, his face contorted with pain, muttering incessantly:
"It's all my fault for this foul mouth! Why can't I learn my lesson? I rambled on and on, making His Majesty unhappy..."
How could we forget the pain so quickly! Everyone knows that the Emperor's punishments truly vary from person to person; he always finds a different way to torment us...
Waaah... I'm so hungry, my stomach is empty, I can barely hold a pen..."
Lord Wang was there, all alone, looking up at the sky and sighing pitifully.
His appearance was completely different from when he visited Bai Mengran's pop-up food stall before—he was full of energy and vitality, like a completely different person...
