Gu Wanyin raised an eyebrow and waited quietly for him to continue.
The man had expected her to say something, but she remained silent.
He had to speak slowly, "So, can I return it? After all, my points are running low..."
"The store rules state that once a product is sold, it cannot be returned or exchanged," Gu Wanyin said indifferently. "Moreover, the rules next to the blind box machine are very clear."
The blind box machine had an introduction and rules. The outcome of the blind box was entirely a matter of luck, and one had to consider carefully before purchasing. If the blind box was unsatisfactory, it could not be returned or exchanged.
"I know," the man said awkwardly. "I read the rules before... but I wanted to take a chance."
"Blind box is all about taking a chance," Bai Shuwen said. "If you're unlucky, you have to accept it. Besides, the blind boxes here are already very fair. If you bought this set separately, it would definitely cost more than the blind box."
"But I don't like it!" the man said more urgently. "I don't have many points left. Can you please return it?"
"With so few points left, you should be saving them instead of buying blind boxes," Old Six looked at him strangely. "Why are you so strange?"
The man's eyes darted around, unsure of what to say.
He had seen Bruno buy a blind box today and get lucky, getting a lot of food that was enough for Bruno and his sister to eat for a day.
So, he was tempted to try his luck too.
Unexpectedly, what he got did not satisfy him.
He thought, since the hotel had so many supplies, the boss probably wouldn't mind returning this blind box for him, right?
"Boss, please," the man pleaded. "Just return it for me."
"Everything follows the store rules," Gu Wanyin said indifferently.
If she made an exception for him, others would want to return their items too, and she wouldn't be able to run her business.
Moreover, the man had read the rules.
Knowing the rules and still taking a chance, she wasn't going to indulge him.
"How can you be like this!" the man was anxious. "You already have so much, do you really need this blind box? You take our Blood Element Pearls and gold and silver, and we haven't said anything. Now, this small request, can't you fulfill it for us?"
The system was so angry it almost jumped up, but Gu Wanyin stopped it and said coldly, "Don't forget, if it weren't for this hotel, those jewels of yours would be worthless. You wouldn't even be able to exchange them for food."
The man was momentarily speechless, feeling a bit annoyed.
He knew Gu Wanyin was not someone to be trifled with.
After all, she was the hotel owner who could run a hotel in a world ruled by vampires and even defeat them.
But he was almost going crazy. He had been hiding and running away, and finally stumbled into this hotel by accident, but his points were almost used up!
Once his points were gone, he wouldn't be able to stay here anymore.
If that was the case, he might as well go crazy!
"Are you going to return it or not? If you don't..."
The man's face twisted in fury, and he directly threw the set at Gu Wanyin.
However, the set did not hit Gu Wanyin. It stopped in front of her and then landed steadily in her hand.
"Wasting food is a bad behavior," Gu Wanyin said coldly.
"Hey! You..." Bai Shuwen was also furious and slammed the table, standing up.
The man knew he had been impulsive. He was a bit scared and turned to run.
Old Six jumped up to chase him, but Gu Wanyin pulled him back.
"Sis, why are you stopping me? This guy not only wanted to break the hotel rules but also threw something at you. I can't stand it! I'll go get revenge for you!"
"Why do we need to do it ourselves?" Gu Wanyin smiled slightly. "Come with me, let's go out and take a look."
With that, Gu Wanyin carried Old Six out.
The system was perched on her shoulder, and Bai Shuwen followed beside her.
When the man caused a scene earlier, there were a few other guests in the hotel who watched.
Now, they were curious and followed her out of the castle.
The man, when he ran into the courtyard, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had escaped safely, and Gu Wanyin hadn't...
Before he could finish his thought, he was lifted up and held in mid-air.
He screamed in fright and looked down to see that it was the angel statue in the courtyard that was holding him!
"What's going on? Put me down!" the man shouted in terror.
The angel statue ignored him and directly shoved him into the fountain.
The man was instantly soaked by the fountain.
That wasn't enough. After he was soaked in the fountain for a while, the angel statue lifted him out of the fountain and threw him to the ground, then started to beat him up.
The guests who followed Gu Wanyin out were dumbfounded.
Even Old Six was dumbfounded.
"Sis, that statue can move!"
"Of course," the system said proudly.
With it, what couldn't be done?
The man was beaten by the angel statue until he was bruised and swollen, too weak to even wail.
Then, the angel statue lifted him up with one hand, swung him around in mid-air, and then threw him forcefully—
The man was thrown far away, out of sight of Gu Wanyin and the others.
"Serves him right!" Old Six felt satisfied. "Who asked him to break the rules and try to throw something at my sister, pfft!"
The angel statue then returned to its original spot in the middle of the fountain and resumed its previous pose, standing solemnly.
As if it hadn't just beaten the man up.
One of the guests couldn't help but swallow hard, whispering, "That's terrifying, the statue can move..."
"After all, this is a hotel run by an angel. That angel statue might be one of the angel's subordinates?"
"Will that man come back?"
"Need you ask? He definitely won't be back."
"It's all his fault. Others bought blind boxes and accepted whatever they got. He wanted to return it, and the rules were clearly written, how could he return it?"
"Exactly! If he just wanted to return it, it would be fine, but he actually tried to throw something at the boss, it's unreasonable."
"He seems to have few points left."
"What does that have to do with the boss? If his points are running low, he should find ways to get more, like renting land to grow garlic. We all do it. He just stays in his room all day, and now that his points are almost gone, he feels bad. What was he doing before?"
"I was thinking of breaking the rules too, but luckily I didn't..."
"Try it and you're dead."
