She turned her head to look. The ones who had just spoken were two young girls, both around 24 or 25 years old. Their faces were dirty, and their clothes were filthy as well. They were struggling to push their way to the front of the crowd.
In the post-apocalyptic world, just staying alive was difficult enough. No one cared about being clean or dirty anymore.
"What are your names?" Gu Wanyin asked.
"I'm Liu Yu, and this is my sister Liu Song!" said the slightly taller girl. "Before the apocalypse, we both worked as receptionists at the same hotel. We have a lot of experience!"
"Yes, yes, Boss Gu! We'll work hard and follow your orders!" Liu Song said, brown-nosing shamelessly.
Her behavior amused Gu Wanyin.
Indeed, at a time like this, what harm was there in a little bootlicking? This girl had potential!
"Alright, you two come in with me!" Gu Wanyin said to them with a smile.
Liu Yu and Liu Song were overjoyed. They held hands as they followed Gu Wanyin into the hotel.
They had just arrived at the hotel! On the way, they had encountered many zombies, but thankfully, they were quick to hide and light on their feet, luckily making it to the hotel entrance.
They never expected to be hired as hotel staff!
The others looked at the two of them with envy and jealousy.
"They're so lucky!"
"It's not that great, isn't being a server just more work?"
"Are you kidding? Think about it. The work in the hotel isn't that hard. As servers, they don't have to worry about earning points or fighting zombies anymore. Don't you want that?"
"Really? I'm so jealous!"
Gu Wanyin led Liu Yu and Liu Song into the hotel. They first went to the front desk, where she explained all the rules for the hotel staff.
"...So that's how it is. Liu Yu will work the day shift, Liu Song the night shift. You'll both be stationed at the front desk in Building 2. Is that alright?"
"Yes, yes!" The sisters nodded vigorously. "No problem at all!"
"Good. Xu Shi, you'll train them for the next few days. And Fang Yang, he's probably still sleeping now, but you'll meet him this afternoon," Gu Wanyin said.
"Understood, boss," Xu Shi replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the eager gazes of the Liu sisters upon him.
Xu Shi: ...Why did he suddenly feel a bit scared?
"Oh, and put your hands on this machine to register your staff information," Gu Wanyin said.
Just by placing their hands on the machine, the hotel staff information could be entered into the system.
Xu Shi and Fang Yang had already done this before.
This feature didn't exist originally; Gu Wanyin had requested it from the system later. She felt it was necessary to register staff information to avoid any future mistakes.
After registration, they would enjoy the privileges of hotel staff, but would also be bound by the rules.
For example, their food and drink were free, but they couldn't waste anything. They had to finish everything they took before getting more.
The food in the hotel never spoiled, so they could eat slowly.
Of course, things like seasonings, garnishes, and inedible soup bases didn't count.
Moreover, they had to work their shifts on time and couldn't slack off.
If they violated the rules, they would be punished.
Gu Wanyin explained all of this to them in detail.
After registering their information, Gu Wanyin continued, "In a moment, new rooms in the hotel will be unlocked. Follow Xu Shi to familiarize yourselves with the check-in process for guests. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask Xu Shi and Fang Yang, or come directly to me."
"Yes, boss!" Liu Yu wiped her eyes.
Wow, why did she suddenly feel like she had found a home again?
"Ding! Congratulations, host. Task completed. Rewards: Unlock all rooms on the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th floors of Building 3; Upgrade all rooms in Building 2 once more; Unlock Building 4, unlock all rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors of Building 4; Unlock two staff dormitory rooms and four sets of staff uniforms; Unlock indoor sports center and related facilities; Unlock eyewear store and unlimited eyewear products; Unlock photo studio and related facilities."
Hearing the system's voice, Gu Wanyin told Xu Shi, "We have more vacant rooms now. All rooms in Building 3 are now available for check-in, and Building 4 has been completed with rooms on the first and second floors ready for occupancy."
"Understood, boss!"
Xu Shi, already accustomed to this, immediately went out to inform those waiting for rooms.
Liu Yu and Liu Song, however, were dumbfounded.
What did she mean by "more vacant rooms"? Did rooms just appear out of nowhere? Or had someone checked out? But in such a great place, who would want to leave?
And where did Building 4 come from? When they arrived, they had only seen three hotel buildings! Boss Gu said Building 4 was already completed, but when was it built? They hadn't seen any construction at all! It was too magical!
No wonder everyone said this was a magical hotel!
And they had actually managed to become staff here!
Suddenly, the sisters felt an inexplicable sense of pride.
Soon, some guests came in to check in.
Liu Yu and Liu Song stood to the side, learning from Xu Shi.
It wasn't particularly difficult, so they quickly understood what to do.
Seeing that they had grasped the concept, Gu Wanyin thought about taking them to see the staff dormitory first, letting them wash their faces, clean up a bit, change into clean uniforms, and rest for a while before coming back to continue learning.
For two girls with only level one Supernatural Ability to have made it this far was quite impressive.
Just as she was about to lead them away, a small incident occurred.
A man who only had a necklace and a ring, knowing he couldn't exchange them for many points, saw a 12 or 13-year-old boy behind him holding a level one Crystal Core and tried to steal it.
Initially, he wanted to quietly threaten and intimidate the boy, but the boy was quite tough and made a fuss. The man, embarrassed and angry, not only started cursing loudly but also pushed the boy and even tried to kick him.
Before anyone could condemn him, the system promptly kicked him out.
"He just disappeared!" Liu Yu exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course," Gu Wanyin said calmly. "All violent behavior is prohibited in the hotel. Moreover, he tried to steal someone else's Crystal Core in the hotel, and from a child no less. Such people are not allowed to stay here."
Liu Yu shuddered secretly and exchanged a glance with Liu Song.
Magical, yet terrifying!
They would have to be careful not to violate any hotel rules in the future.
It was best to just follow Boss Gu's lead.
Gu Wanyin took them to see the staff dormitory.
Their dormitory was on the first floor of Building 2, and the rooms were identical to those of Xu Shi and Fang Yang. They also each received two sets of uniforms, but because they were girls, the system thoughtfully prepared one set of skirts and one set of pants for each of them.
