Regarding the division of profits, Gu Wanyin discussed with the system and offered the researchers two options.
The first option was that the points earned from selling the potions would be evenly divided among all of them.
The second option was that Zhuang Xiaoxia and the other researchers would have their points waived for all their expenses at the hotel, but they would not receive any points from the sale of the potions or any other items they might develop in the future.
Zhuang Xiaoxia and the others didn't hesitate to choose the second option.
After all, points could only be used within the hotel.
Since they could live and eat for free at the hotel, what use did they have for the points from the division of profits?
Moreover, this way, they could conduct their various researches without any worries!
Gu Wanyin knew they would choose the second option.
Although it meant they would live and eat for free at the hotel forever, she and the system didn't lose out.
After all, the points earned from selling the potions were substantial.
And they would continue to develop various items for sale in the future.
Having the researchers focus on their work without distractions made Gu Wanyin quite happy.
...
When the potions started being sold, they didn't sell very quickly.
After all, 6,000 points was a significant amount for ordinary people, and they needed time to save up.
Gu Wanyin wasn't in a hurry.
They would eventually come to buy them.
Who wouldn't want a potion that could activate abilities?
In the evening, after finishing dinner and returning to her room, Gu Wanyin had just started watching TV when Ling Quan called.
Gu Wanyin quickly picked up.
"Sorry, Gu Boss," Ling Quan said, "I was busy with something today and just got back."
"No problem," Gu Wanyin replied casually, "I didn't have anything urgent. I just wanted to tell you that Lao San from your base is probably at my hotel now."
"Really?" Ling Quan was a bit surprised, "He actually came? This Lao San... his perseverance is truly extraordinary!"
Gu Wanyin had all the hotel guests' information in her system. She had the system pull up Wu San's photo and sent it to Ling Quan.
"That's him!" Ling Quan marveled, "He walked all the way from so far?"
"No, I picked him up in E City with a plane," Gu Wanyin explained.
"I see."
"Actually, I originally planned to tie him up and send him back to you, but..."
Gu Wanyin told Ling Quan about Wu San and Xiao Meichen's situation.
Ling Quan: "..."
Was this the Wu San she knew?
She had known Wu San for two years and never imagined he could genuinely fall in love with someone!
"So, I wanted to ask you, what do you plan to do?" Gu Wanyin inquired.
"Since he's ready to start a new life, I don't feel like dwelling on past grievances," Ling Quan said calmly, "After all, he can't return to the survival base, and his rebellion didn't significantly affect me."
She just felt a bit cold-hearted, but since she and Wu San would never see each other again, there was no need to dwell on the past.
Let's just pretend they never knew each other.
Hearing this, Gu Wanyin nodded, "That's good too."
It would prevent further entanglement.
"By the way, I discussed with the people in the base today and we're planning to buy some more supplies," Ling Quan said with a smile.
"Great!" Gu Wanyin perked up at the mention of business, "What else do you need? Instant hot pot? Rice noodles?"
"No," Ling Quan shook her head with a smile, "We've had enough of those to satisfy our cravings. This time, we want to buy rice, flour, oil, and some fruits and vegetables, as well as pots, bowls, and other kitchenware."
The hotel's market had rice, flour, oil, and vegetables, and the supermarket had kitchenware, all of which could be sold to the survival base.
Once purchased, the people in the survival base could cook for themselves. For example, a family of three could eat for many days with a large bag of rice and a large bag of flour.
"Sure, no problem," Gu Wanyin said, "Just send me the list once you've made it."
"Okay, will do."
After discussing this, Ling Quan invited Gu Wanyin to visit the survival base.
"You have a plane now, right? You could fly over here, stay overnight at my place, and then return to the hotel," Ling Quan suggested.
Gu Wanyin thought for a moment and asked, "Would that be inappropriate?"
She had previously planned to visit the survival base.
But considering that if she flew over, people from the survival base might want to return with her to the hotel.
That would be like competing with Ling Quan for people...
As partners, doing such a thing wouldn't be very decent.
And now that Wu San had started a new life with Xiao Meichen, she didn't plan to send Wu San back to the survival base, so there was no need to go.
Ling Quan probably knew what Gu Wanyin was thinking. She smiled and said, "Gu Boss, it's fine. The purpose of founding this base wasn't to make money from people. Moreover, we've been buying our supplies from you. Even if some people from the base follow you back to the hotel, it's no big deal."
Besides, there were over 20,000 people in the survival base.
Gu Wanyin's plane could only carry 200 back.
Hearing this, Gu Wanyin was deeply touched.
No wonder she could establish such a large base; her perspective was truly broad!
"But if I go and people in the base fight to return with me to the hotel, causing violent conflicts, what should we do?" Gu Wanyin then thought of this possibility.
Ling Quan considered it too.
The hotel was so good that many people would want to follow Gu Wanyin back.
But with only 200 spots...
It was impossible to avoid conflicts.
"Then let's just forget it for now," Ling Quan sighed, "Maybe another time."
To be honest, she really wanted to meet Gu Wanyin in person.
Gu Wanyin also felt a bit regretful.
They chatted for a while longer before ending the call.
...
After some time, when the hotel guests had saved enough points, the Ability Activation Potions sold very well.
And those who drank the potions, without exception, activated various abilities.
But Gu Wanyin found that all were Attack-based Abilities or Wood-based Abilities, and not a single Healing Ability.
It seemed that in this world, Healing Abilities were indeed very difficult to activate.
If only there were Healing Ability users in her hotel, she could hire them as doctors in the hospital.
This way, if the hotel guests had any injuries outside, Healing Ability users could treat them very conveniently.
Just as Gu Wanyin was thinking this, a few days later, five young women arrived at the hotel.
They came together and checked into a family room.
It happened to be Fang Yang's shift. Seeing that they were all young women, he opened up and not only checked them in but also enthusiastically introduced every aspect of the hotel, even mentioning that the school was still hiring teachers and the hospital was hiring doctors.
