Days passed one by one, and the system's task list hadn't refreshed. However, it was time for the interstellar ranking day again.
The system had left early to return to the interstellar space, while Gu Wanyin brought Cola and Hamburger to eat hotpot with Bai Shuwen and Zhuang Xiaoxia at the hotpot restaurant.
"How come we haven't seen Dong Yue lately?" Gu Wanyin asked.
"She's studying," Bai Shuwen said. "I heard high school exams are coming up soon, and she said she wants to get first place."
Although there weren't many high school students yet, they were all overachievers. It wouldn't be easy for Dong Yue to get first place.
Gu Wanyin remembered her own days of intense studying in high school, feeling a sense of empathy.
"Come to think of it, we haven't seen the monsters for several days. Where did they all go?" Zhuang Xiaoxia asked.
"I heard there's some kind of grand gathering in the monster realm. They all seem to have gone back to attend it. They'll be back in a few days," Gu Wanyin said.
"I see."
"A grand gathering in the monster realm? A bunch of monsters sitting together drinking and dancing?"
"Well, monsters are usually quite beautiful. It must be quite a sight."
As they were chatting, Gu Wanyin heard the system's voice in her mind: "Ding! Host, I'm back!"
"You're back! You must be first place again, right?" Gu Wanyin asked in her mind.
"Of course! With our previous cooperation with the survival base, we earned over 100 million points. Who could beat that?" the system said proudly. "I was even praised! Hehe, if 066 were a person, his nose would probably be crooked with anger by now. Oh, and he came in third again this time, while the other Gu Wanyin and her system are back in second place!"
Hearing this, Gu Wanyin was quite pleased.
"Also, after the system managers learned about you two, they specially approved for you both to choose a world to visit for a few days. You two can discuss which world to go to."
"Really?" Gu Wanyin was surprised. "Does this mean I can meet her?"
"Yes!"
Gu Wanyin had never imagined that she and the other Gu Wanyin would have a chance to meet.
And they could even go play in another world.
"There are other rewards too. Unlock all rooms from the third to tenth floors of Building 4; upgrade all rooms in Building 3 once more; unlock all rooms from the eighth to tenth floors of the Special Building; unlock one elevator each in Buildings 3 and 4; unlock the hospital and related facilities. Note: Hotel guests can apply for positions such as doctors, nurses, and other staff in the hospital. This system will determine if they are qualified for the position."
"Finally, we have a hospital!" Gu Wanyin sighed in relief.
Although the hotel had already unlocked all medicines, which were very effective, it would still be problematic if a guest got seriously ill without a doctor to treat them.
Take the pregnant Li Xiaosi, for example. Gu Wanyin had been worried about what to do when she gave birth.
Now with a hospital, even if they couldn't immediately recruit an obstetrician, at least she would have a ward to give birth in, and perhaps someone who knew how to deliver babies could help.
"The rewards this time seem a bit less compared to before," Gu Wanyin said.
"That's because there's also the reward of letting you visit other worlds!" the system said. "Host, if you don't want to go, I can communicate with the other side and cancel this reward, but we probably won't be able to exchange it for any good rewards."
Gu Wanyin thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go. Don't exchange it."
Since it couldn't be exchanged for any good rewards, she might as well not waste this opportunity to go out and play.
"So, which world does the host want to go to?"
"What did the other Gu Wanyin say? Since we're going together, we should discuss it."
"She said she'll go along with whatever you decide."
"Well, let me think... When we get back to the room, can you pull up the introductions of all the worlds for me to look at?"
"Sure!"
After finishing the hotpot, Gu Wanyin was about to head back to her room, but as she passed through the lobby, the hotel door was suddenly pushed open. A figure stumbled in, and before Gu Wanyin could get a clear look, the figure collapsed on the ground.
Gu Wanyin also smelled a strong scent of blood.
"What's going on?" Xu Shi had also seen it and quickly walked over with Gu Wanyin to help the person up.
To Gu Wanyin's surprise, it wasn't a person at all, but Moon Eagle!
"Moon Eagle?" Gu Wanyin's brows furrowed deeply. "How did you end up like this? Quick... come lie down first."
She and Xu Shi helped Moon Eagle to lie down on the sofa in the rest area.
"I, cough cough, Manager Gu, something terrible has happened. Nine-Tails and the others are now in mortal danger..."
Hearing this, Gu Wanyin's pupils contracted sharply.
"Nine-Tails? And Tree Spirit and Cat Er? What happened to them?" Gu Wanyin immediately asked.
"Cough cough, at the monster realm's grand gathering, someone staged a rebellion, trying to seize the Monster King's throne. Nine-Tails and the others were captured by the enemy while trying to protect the Monster King. I barely escaped with my life. Nine-Tails told me that you would surely have a way to help."
Gu Wanyin: "..."
A rebellion in the monster realm—how could she, a human, possibly have a way to help?
But then she thought about how Nine-Tails and the others always doted on her, constantly bringing guests to her hotel. Whenever she asked for their shed fur, they would collect it without complaint and give it all to her...
In her heart, she had long considered Nine-Tails and the others as friends.
Now that Nine-Tails and the others were in danger, could she really just stand by and do nothing?
"Manager Gu!" Moon Eagle suddenly grasped her wrist. "Please, you must save them! I'm seriously injured now and need to recuperate for a few days before I can fully recover. I want to help but I'm powerless... If you can find a way to save them, I will definitely repay your great kindness with the rest of my life!"
Gu Wanyin didn't agree immediately. She turned to Xu Shi and said, "Help him back to his room first."
"Alright," Xu Shi nodded. "Then, Manager, you..."
"I'll go back to my room to think about it."
Although she didn't agree immediately, Moon Eagle didn't say anything and was helped back to his room by Xu Shi.
After returning to her room, Cola asked worriedly, "Sister, are you really going to the monster realm to save Sister Nine-Tails and the others?"
"Although I'm also very worried about Sister Nine-Tails and the others, sister, won't you be in danger if you go?" Hamburger also asked with concern.
Gu Wanyin patted their heads and smiled, "Don't worry about this. I'll think it through carefully. You two go do your homework first."
Cola and Hamburger exchanged a glance, both being very understanding and not asking any more questions. They went to the desk to do their homework.
Gu Wanyin sat on the sofa, appearing calm on the surface, but her heart was troubled. "System, did you hear just now? Nine-Tails and the others are in trouble."
"I heard," the system said. "This matter, it's still up to you, host, to make the decision."
