Chapter 247: Products of the System are Bound to be Fine Products
The construction period for the Manor Academy was three days.
However, the construction period for the Manor Restroom was only one day.
In fact, the utility truck construction crew arrived at six o’clock in the morning, and before six o’clock in the afternoon, the construction had concluded.
Jian Xingxia signed off on the acceptance as usual. The six construction crew members on the utility truck stood straight and expressionless before driving away.
Jian Xingxia watched them leave, wondering where they came from and in what manner they would return to their own world.
The restroom was located just a bit past the reed wall. Looking from the direction of the old house, one could only see the small pointed roof of the restroom. Hanging on the pointed roof was a sign featuring a simple line drawing of a little squirrel washing its hands by a well.
It was very simple and not obtrusive, yet one could tell at a glance that it meant a restroom.
Jian Xingxia walked toward the small pointed roof and unexpectedly found two directional signs along the path. Two little squirrels, clutching large pinecones, were looking out from a tree branch in one direction.
The restroom symbol was printed on the pinecones, and the direction the branch pointed and the squirrels looked was the direction of the restroom.
Jian Xingxia really wanted to give the construction crew a huge thumbs-up.
They truly deserved to be a cross-realm construction crew; this level of professionalism and thoughtfulness was absolutely superb!
Stepping past the reed wall, she saw a small log cabin, resembling the kind a forest hunter would live in, with straw-like decorations covering the roof.
On the front was a doorway with no door. Upon entering, there was a screen-like wall printed with squirrel guidance. To the left was an open double vanity sink, one high and one low, suitable for adults and children.
Jian Xingxia noticed that the mirror over the vanity sink had some depth. Opening it up, she found it fully stocked with combs, hair clips, hair ties, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, facial cleanser, hand soap…
A message popped up from the system. Jian Xingxia glanced at it, skipped it, and continued inside.
Walking further in on the left, there were two individual stalls, containing a sitting toilet and a squat toilet respectively.
Jian Xingxia tested them. Not only did they flush automatically, but the sitting toilet even automatically replaced the hygienic seat covers!
Heavens, she had only heard Liang Chengcheng mention that when she went to Jiuzhaigou for vacation, the public toilets up on the mountains there automatically replaced the toilet seat covers.
Jian Xingxia had never seen such a toilet before and could only infer from her own imagination and Liang Chengcheng’s high satisfaction that this must be a very high-end, comfortable, safe, and hygienic facility.
She had never expected that her own manor would have one too!
Jian Xingxia: …If she used the restroom here, no one would mind, right?
Sitting on the clean toilet seat cover, Jian Xingxia comfortably used the restroom. The tissue paper was right on her right-hand side, a combination of roll paper and individual flushable wet wipes.
After Jian Xingxia stood up, the toilet automatically closed its lid and flushed. A moment later, the water stilled, the toilet lid reopened, and then the toilet seat cover automatically moved.
The blue section she had just sat on rolled into one side, bearing a tiny “Used” mark.
Meanwhile, from the other side marked “Unused,” a fresh, light-green toilet seat cover emerged.
Jian Xingxia: !!!
She was utterly stunned; this was far too high-end!
She couldn’t help but test it a few times and discovered that the toilet seat covers came in gradient colors, rotating through over a dozen shades, so there was absolutely no worry about overlap errors.
Jian Xingxia: Satisfied! Beyond satisfied.
Stepping out from the toilet stall, the right side connected to two shower stalls, both equipped with senior-friendly and accessible measures.
Jian Xingxia looked around for a long time but couldn’t find a showerhead. Finally, looking up, she saw it on the ceiling—the showerhead actually had no exposed pipes and was directly integrated with the drop ceiling.
Looking down again, the floor had already thoughtfully outlined the spray radius of the showerhead, ensuring it wouldn’t affect the area behind the door and on the wall where toiletries and a change of clothes were placed.
Jian Xingxia didn’t actually take a shower, but she couldn’t resist rinsing her feet under the showerhead.
Stepping out in a pair of disposable slippers, Jian Xingxia felt a bit worried: how would she restock these disposable slippers?
Amid her dilemma, the door to the shower stall closed automatically, and a light from somewhere on the door displayed: “Use concluded, beginning disinfection.”
Jian Xingxia: Holy cow!
For a full five minutes, Jian Xingxia watched the words on the door gradually change, detailing over a dozen steps including rinsing, high-temperature steam, hot air drying, UV disinfection, consumable replenishment, and fragrance release.
By the time the door could be opened again, what Jian Xingxia saw was a brand-new, clean shower stall.
Jian Xingxia: …
She had made up her mind!
Starting today, she would no longer shower in the big, old, broken bathroom in the backyard!
She was going to shower in this smart restroom by the reed wall!
Turning back out, she reached the section to the right of the restroom’s entrance screen wall, which also contained two stalls. This time, the setup was identical.
It resembled a combination of a makeup room and a dressing room. Upon entering, there was a large, high-definition, fully-lit vanity mirror, and the walls on both sides had plenty of places to hang clothes and place items.
Hairdryers, hair straighteners, makeup tools—everything was provided.
Minimalist yet comfortable, not too much and not too little, just right.
To put it without exaggeration, if the restroom had a bed, she would want to live inside it.
After inspecting the whole loop, Jian Xingxia felt that this single management point was truly well spent.
Previously, she had felt that building a clean public toilet shouldn’t even cost ten thousand yuan, and she had purchased it from the manor mall with a mindset of just giving it a try.
Looking at it now, the effect far exceeded her expectations.
Jian Xingxia was absolutely thrilled; the products of the system were always so satisfying, even surprising.
Jian Xingxia felt her little, broken manor was slightly unworthy of such a wonderful restroom. Had she known, she would have upgraded the guest rooms and the lobby first.
Right now, she had a bare-bones lobby, a finely-furnished second floor, and a luxurious restroom—no matter how you looked at it, it just didn’t make sense!
Jian Xingxia opened the system panel. Back when she opened the mirror cabinet, the system had sent her a message showing that she could configure the access permissions and pricing for the restroom.
Jian Xingxia looked it over and, following the system prompts, decided to restrict this restroom to “Ladies Only.”
Women had a greater and more urgent need for restrooms, and since her main focus was making it convenient for girls to change into Hanfu and do their makeup, it was more appropriate to restrict this expensive restroom to ladies.
Men would continue to use the toilet behind the old house, and she would arrange for more public restrooms later when she had more money.
Afterward, she configured the items and services provided for free in the restroom one by one: the hand soap at the vanity, the sitting toilet, and the squat toilet.
If someone needed to shower or style their hair, they would need to scan a QR code to unlock the stall, priced at 10 yuan for 15 minutes.
The price wasn’t high, but it was very necessary.
Fifteen minutes was enough for a simple rinse and a change of clothes, and it also prevented anyone from occupying the restroom for an extended period, which would leave others unable to use it.
However, the configuration of the restroom let Jian Xingxia know that she might have chosen the wrong product.
This restroom indeed placed its emphasis on grooming and freshening up.
Jian Xingxia opened the mall and browsed for a long time, deeply resenting that the manor mall only randomly pushed products without a search function.
After refreshing and flipping through dozens of pages, she finally found the product she had originally intended to buy—the Public Restroom.
The price was also 1 management point, but looking at it, this was the toilet that the tourists actually needed more.
Jian Xingxia silently felt a lingering fear.
Fortunately, there were quite a few guests today, so at five o’clock tomorrow morning she should be able to collect another management point and afford the toilet.
Otherwise, she feared the tourists would truly complain—not building a public toilet but building such a luxurious restroom instead.
After checking out the restroom, Jian Xingxia could not wait to urge the flatbed truck construction crew to work overtime through the night.
She was dying to see what on earth the 400-square-meter Manor Academy would look like.
