"Everyone stop playing and come here!" Brainless shouted, "We have a guest!"
His shout really did bring all the little fairies flying over.
Moreover, these fairies all stood in neat rows, then bowed and shouted in unison: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Gu Wanyin was shocked.
This purple fairy called "Brainless" was actually the Fairy King?
Truly, you can't judge a fairy by its appearance!
"Rise, no need for such formality!" Brainless waved his hand, "Let me introduce you all to our guest... by the way, what's your name?"
"Gu Wanyin."
"Oh right, this is Boss Gu. She runs a hotel in the human world and has come to our island to recruit two service staff."
After saying this, he explained to the fairies what a hotel and service staff meant.
And surprisingly, his explanation matched Gu Wanyin's understanding perfectly.
Gu Wanyin thought to herself, you're called Brainless? Your brain seems to work perfectly fine!
"So, anyone interested in trying? But we're only recruiting green fairies!" Brainless added.
Gu Wanyin felt incredibly lucky.
She had immediately encountered the Fairy King.
She didn't even need to explain everything to the fairies herself.
Plus, the Fairy King had great authority.
These fairies wouldn't be suspicious of her.
"Why only green fairies?" a red fairy asked.
Before Gu Wanyin could answer, another green fairy said, "Because Boss Gu is green too!"
"Oh, that makes sense."
"What are the benefits of being service staff?" a green fairy flew over to ask, "Will it be very tiring?"
"It won't be too tiring," Gu Wanyin said, "The job duties, as Brain... ahem, as His Majesty has already explained, will be further detailed when you arrive at the hotel. As for benefits, meals and accommodation are provided."
"Wait, meals? Does that mean we can eat human food?"
"Of course," Gu Wanyin said with a smile, "There are all kinds of delicious foods to eat and human beverages to drink. As long as you don't waste, you can eat and drink as much as you like."
"Really? Human food?"
"I've always wanted to try it!"
"And we can eat as much as we want!"
These fairies were actually quite greedy when it came to food.
They usually only ate flowers, grass, and mushrooms, which all tasted similar and they had grown tired of.
They had always been curious about human food.
But they were too timid to venture into human territories.
So until now, no fairy had ever tasted human food.
"Only green fairies can go! What a shame!"
Then, a green fairy asked, "Won't it be dangerous in human territory?"
"No," Gu Wanyin said, "I can guarantee your absolute safety. There won't be any danger."
Though she said this, the fairies didn't know her and couldn't completely trust her words.
However, human food was an incredibly tempting prospect for these food-loving fairies.
Another fairy asked, "After we go, can we come back?"
"Once you decide to come with me, you'll need to complete at least six months before you can quit," Gu Wanyin explained with a smile.
She couldn't have fairy staff coming back, eating and drinking for a few days, getting bored, and then quitting.
Then she'd have to recruit again.
Recruiting every few days would be too troublesome.
Recruiting every six months was more manageable.
"Did you all hear that? If you want to go, think it through carefully. You must be responsible!" Brainless said seriously, "If you try to come back before completing six months, I won't let you return!"
The green fairies hesitated, unable to make up their minds.
Gu Wanyin added, "The hotel is actually quite interesting. Not only is there food and drink, but you'll also get to interact with all kinds of humans. During our free time, we can play cards and games together. For you, it will be a completely new way of life."
Her words made the fairies start to get excited again.
After a while, one green fairy fluttered its wings and flew in front of her.
"Well then, I... I'll give it a try!" it seemed to have made a big decision, "I promise I'll complete the full six months!"
"Wonderful," Gu Wanyin patted its head, "What's your name?"
"I'm Fugui."
Gu Wanyin: "...Nice name."
With Fugui taking the lead, another green fairy quickly flew over.
"I want to go too, I'll go with Fugui! I'm Mengmeng."
Gu Wanyin patted its head as well.
Finally, a somewhat normal name, that wasn't easy to come by.
"Well then, let's congratulate Fugui and Mengmeng on becoming hotel staff!" Brainless announced.
Then, the other fairies even started applauding.
Fugui and Mengmeng bowed to everyone shyly, as if they had won an award.
"Then, I'll take Fugui and Mengmeng back to the hotel now," Gu Wanyin said to the fairies.
"Wait," Brainless suddenly called out to her.
Then, he flew to a large mushroom, pulled it up with effort, and flew back to present it to Gu Wanyin.
"Since you came here, you're our guest, so I want to give you a gift to take back!" Brainless said, "This mushroom can be eaten or used as decoration, it won't spoil."
Gu Wanyin accepted it with touched feelings.
She had only come here to complete her task of recruiting staff.
Yet Brainless not only helped her with recruitment but also gave her a gift as she was leaving.
Even though it was just a mushroom, it was the thought that counted!
"Thank you," Gu Wanyin said sincerely.
"It's nothing," Brainless waved dismissively, "Have a safe journey!"
Gu Wanyin left with Fugui and Mengmeng.
Brainless and the other fairies saw them off all the way to the seaside.
On the way back to the hotel, Fugui and Mengmeng kept asking her questions about the hotel.
Gu Wanyin patiently explained everything.
After all, she was bringing them back to be service staff.
They needed to understand everything about the hotel clearly.
They actually encountered several vampires along the way.
However, the system thoughtfully made them invisible, saving them a lot of trouble.
Only when they landed at the hotel entrance did the system remove their invisibility.
Fugui and Mengmeng stared at the luxurious castle before them, their mouths agape in amazement.
"Wow, we don't have anything like this on our island!"
"It looks so beautiful."
"Come on, let me show you around," Gu Wanyin said with a smile.
They walked through the courtyard and into the castle, and throughout the journey, Fugui and Mengmeng's mouths remained open in awe.
As they entered the castle doors, Gu Wanyin saw Bruno and his sibling walking towards the entrance, seemingly about to head out.
Joshua's gaze fell on her, and suddenly let out a scream.
