Chapter 294 How much money would that cost!
Han City University.
Second floor of the cafeteria.
At noon, the place was very crowded, with students everywhere carrying plates and looking for seats.
Li Mengli and Zhao Jiajia found a seat by the window and sat down.
Two large bowls of steaming hot and spicy tang were placed in front of them.
The bowl was filled with various vegetables, meatballs, and wide rice noodles, with a layer of bright red chili oil floating on top.
"Phew, so spicy!"
Zhao Jiajia took a bite, then quickly picked up the ice water next to her and drank a big gulp.
She fanned her mouth with her hand while loudly proclaiming:
"But this mala tang (spicy hot pot) really tastes good, it's so spicy and satisfying!"
Li Mengli also enjoyed the meal.
She picked up a fish ball with her chopsticks, blew on it to cool it down, and put it in her mouth.
"Yeah, I kept thinking about this smell all night in my dorm."
The two ate spicy hot pot while chatting about their morning classes.
Just then, Li Mengli's phone, which was on the table, vibrated.
She put down her chopsticks, picked up her phone, and glanced at it.
It was a WeChat message from my mother, Zhang Ruoran.
Li Mengli opened the chat window and found that her mother had sent her a video.
She felt something was off.
"My mom rarely sends me videos, what's wrong with her today?"
She muttered to herself as she clicked on the video.
The video has started playing.
The scene begins in a very large space.
The surrounding lights were dim, but soon the entire space lit up.
Immediately afterwards, what appeared on the screen was an extremely stunning movie scene.
A huge waterfall cascades down from above, giving the feeling that the water is about to burst off the screen.
Then there was a huge eagle swooping down from the highest point in the sky, every single feather of its was clearly visible.
The entire scene is completely immersive, making you feel like you're inside a movie.
Li Mengli stared at her phone screen, her eyes widening instantly.
She even forgot to pick up her chopsticks and just stared blankly at the video.
"Wow, the special effects in this movie are amazing!"
Li Mengli sighed inwardly.
She initially thought that her mother sent the video to share a good movie she had just watched.
She was about to type a question to her mother asking what movie it was and which theater she saw it in.
As a result, a very long text message followed immediately below the video.
Li Mengli glanced down.
After she clearly saw the words on the message.
She was completely stunned.
Her mouth was slightly open, and her eyes were fixed on the screen, not blinking for a long time.
Zhang Ruoran wrote in the message:
"Mengli, isn't this video amazing? This is the movie that your dad took me to see in the dome in Las Vegas."
"But that's not the point I want to tell you. Your father told me today that he has bought a private island in the Pacific Ocean."
"Moreover, he has already had a super dome built on that island, a hundred times larger than this Las Vegas dome!"
"This giant dome is finished. Your dad said it will be our family's private paradise from now on."
Upon seeing this message, Li Mengli felt like her mind was completely blank.
"What?!"
Li Mengli couldn't help but shout it out loud.
The sound was a bit loud, which attracted the attention of several students eating at nearby tables who turned to look at her.
But Li Mengli was completely oblivious to what others thought.
A storm raged within her.
She had certainly heard of that giant dome in Las Vegas.
That thing is a very famous building in the world. It cost hundreds of millions of US dollars to build that giant dome.
That's already an astronomical figure.
But now, her mother is telling her that her father bought a private island in the Pacific Ocean?
And they even built a super giant dome on top of it that's a hundred times bigger?
One hundred times bigger!
That would cost so much money!
Li Mengli didn't dare to even bother to calculate that debt.
She felt her breathing become rapid.
Seeing Li Mengli's strong reaction, Zhao Jiajia, sitting opposite her, quickly put down her chopsticks and asked with concern:
"Mengli, what's wrong? Did you see something scary?"
Li Mengli took a deep breath and handed her phone to Zhao Jiajia.
Her voice was still trembling slightly:
"Jiajia, look at this."
Zhao Jiajia took the phone, first watched the shocking video, and then read the text message below.
After watching it.
Zhao Jiajia's reaction was even more exaggerated than Li Mengli's.
Her eyes were wide open like saucers, and her mouth was agape enough to fit an egg.
"Oh my god!"
Zhao Jiajia stammered:
"Mengli, your dad... just how rich is your dad?!"
"A private island? A super dome a hundred times bigger?"
"This...this isn't just about being rich, it's practically divine intervention!"
Although Zhao Jiajia's family has assets worth several billion yuan, they are considered a wealthy family in Wuhan.
However, compared to the financial resources of Li Mengli's family...
She felt that with her family's meager savings, they probably couldn't even afford one screen in that giant dome.
This is a complete dimensional reduction attack.
Li Mengli ignored Zhao Jiajia's shock.
She quickly grabbed her phone and typed rapidly on the screen.
She really didn't understand why her father spent so much money building such a huge thing.
"Mom, why did Dad build such a huge dome?"
"Even if our whole family goes there for a trip, we don't need a place this big, do we? This is outrageous!"
Zhang Ruoran replied shortly after the message was sent.
You'll find out then.
"Your father said there are still two weeks left. When that time comes, everything will be revealed."
"Just focus on your studies at school and don't worry about anything else. Just wait for our news."
Looking at her mother's mysterious reply.
Li Mengli was even more puzzled.
Half a month?
What will happen in two weeks?
Why make it so mysterious?
She held her phone, her brows furrowed tightly.
Zhao Jiajia sat opposite, and she heard what Li Mengli said.
Her worldview regarding Li Mengli's family's wealth was once again completely shattered.
She originally thought that buying the entire Beichen Garden community was already an outrageous thing.
Unexpectedly, now another private island and a giant dome have appeared.
Zhao Jiajia looked at Li Mengli, her eyes filled with envy.
She excitedly grabbed Li Mengli's hand and said loudly:
"Mengli! Your dad is amazing!"
"If you ever get the chance, you absolutely have to take me to see that giant dome!"
"If I could go to a place like that to see a movie even once in my life, I'd die happy!"
Li Mengli looked at Zhao Jiajia's exaggerated expression.
She gave a somewhat helpless smile.
She nodded and readily agreed:
"Sure. I'll figure out what's going on in about two weeks. If my dad agrees to let me bring people along, I'll definitely take you with me."
"Really? That's wonderful! Mengli, you're truly my best friend!"
Zhao Jiajia was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
She quickly picked up her chopsticks, placed a large meatball in Li Mengli's bowl.
"Come on, eat more meat! This meal's on me!"
Li Mengli looked at the meatballs in the bowl and smiled.
She lowered her head and continued eating her spicy hot pot.
But in her heart, she kept thinking about that giant dome.
What kind of surprise will it be in two weeks?
She was really looking forward to it.
