Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 9

Gu Wanyin pushed the machine forward a bit and said, "Any item will do. The machine will automatically convert your items into corresponding points. By the way, Crystal Cores can be converted into a lot of points. One level-one Crystal Core is worth a thousand points."

"Really?" Fu Sishu's eyes lit up. He coughed lightly twice and took out a level-one Crystal Core from his inner pocket. "Do I just put it on top?"

"Yes."

Fu Sishu placed the Crystal Core on the machine. Quickly, the Crystal Core disappeared, and a room card appeared.

Name: Fu Sishu

Room number: 203

Room rate: 10 points per day

Current points: 1000

"That really is a lot!" Fu Sishu exclaimed excitedly. "I can stay for a hundred days!"

In the Sunshine Base, staying for ten days would cost at least two level-one Crystal Cores, and that didn't even include the cost of supplies. Moreover, the environment in the base was dirty and messy, incomparable to this spacious and clean hotel!

But here, one level-one Crystal Core could get you a hundred days' stay!

No wonder Fu Siheng brought them here!

"How many days would the guest like to stay?" Gu Wanyin asked.

"How long have you stayed?" Fu Sishu asked.

"I booked for a month first. The food here also requires points to exchange, so we can't use up all the points at once," Fu Siheng said. "I have twenty-nine days left now."

"Then I'll book for twenty-nine days too," Fu Sishu told Gu Wanyin.

"Alright, twenty-nine days. Are you sure?"

"Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, two hundred and ninety points were deducted from Fu Sishu's room card.

At the same time, a system voice sounded in Gu Wanyin's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host. Task completed. You have received the following rewards: Room 204, three unlimited dishes, two unlimited drinks, two unlimited fruits, and one upgrade for Room 201."

Another three dishes! And fruits! And drinks!

However, Gu Wanyin wasn't as excited as last time. Moreover, as a qualified hotel manager, she couldn't leave customers who hadn't finished checking in.

"New task unlocked: Recruit one hotel service staff. Rewards: One staff dormitory, two sets of staff uniforms, Room 205, one upgrade each for Rooms 202 and 203, one rice noodle shop, and unlimited rice noodles. Note: Recruited guests cannot become employees. Employees get free food and lodging."

A rice noodle shop? Gu Wanyin was shocked.

"Let's go see the rooms!" Lin Ru said excitedly and expectantly.

Fu Sishu nodded. They were about to leave when Gu Wanyin quickly said, "Wait a moment. As I mentioned earlier, the hotel currently only has single rooms and only allows single occupancy. The room card for Room 203 has this gentleman's name on it, so only he can enter. Ma'am, if you want to stay at the hotel, you'll need to get another room card."

The system had told her before that the second floor was all single rooms, not allowing double occupancy. Higher floors would have double rooms and other room types, but the points would also increase. If guests needed it later, they could change rooms.

"What?" Lin Ru's eyes widened. "You mean he and I can't stay in the same room? I also have to exchange things for points and then spend ten points to open another room?"

"Yes," Gu Wanyin said. "These are the hotel's rules. There will be other room types in the future. If you need later, you can..."

"What kind of ridiculous rule is this?" Lin Ru frowned before Gu Wanyin could finish. "We're a couple. Why can't we stay in the same room? Are you doing this on purpose to earn more of our Crystal Cores? I won't let you get away with it!"

Gu Wanyin's face immediately turned cold.

Fu Siheng inwardly thought 'this is not good' and quickly called out, "Sister-in-law!"

Fu Sishu also reprimanded in a low voice, "Ru Ru, don't talk nonsense!"

"I didn't say anything wrong..." Lin Ru said quietly.

Gu Wanyin gave a cold laugh and said, "I said, these are the hotel's rules and cannot be changed. Moreover, this hotel does not welcome guests who do not follow the rules. Miss, if you have objections to the hotel rules, please leave immediately!"

She enunciated each word sternly.

Lin Ru was frightened and moved closer to Fu Sishu.

Even Cola couldn't help but say, "Our hotel is so nice, why are you causing trouble? How can you be like this?"

"Yeah, if you don't want to stay, then leave," Hamburger also chimed in unhappily.

Fu Siheng quickly said, "Hotel owner, I'm sorry. My sister-in-law was just talking. She didn't mean any harm."

He might be a level-four Fire Ability User, but... he had a feeling that this seemingly harmless hotel owner was not someone to be trifled with.

Could someone who could peacefully run a hotel in the apocalypse, with so many supplies and that strange machine, be an ordinary person? His stupid sister-in-law should think before she speaks!

"Whether she meant harm or not, I'm not happy," Gu Wanyin said coldly.

To think she was accused of trying to earn more of their Crystal Cores!

She had been trying to price those food items as low as possible. Although it was for a grand opening promotion to stimulate consumption, it also benefited the customers, after all, people weren't living easy lives in the apocalypse.

How dare this woman slander her without any basis?

Lin Ru was on the verge of tears, and just as Fu Sishu was about to plead for her, suddenly, the hotel door was pushed open.

Two men walked in, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin. The tall one was big and burly, while the short one had a rat-like face. They didn't look like good people at first glance.

"There's actually a hotel here!" the short man exclaimed. "And they even have electricity!"

"Milk, they're holding milk!" the big man shouted. "This really is a good place! No zombies and plenty of supplies!"

Then, his gaze fell on Gu Wanyin's delicate face. He grinned lecherously and said, "Oh, and there's even a little beauty here..."

Gu Wanyin's face remained expressionless, but she had already made a decision in her mind.

If possible, she would absolutely, absolutely not let these two pieces of trash stay in her hotel!

"System, I can refuse customers, right?"

"The host has that right."

Fu Siheng frowned upon hearing the man's words. Fu Sishu whispered in his ear, "I've seen these two at Sunshine Base. They're really bad. The big one uses his strength to bully people and steal supplies, while the short one does underhanded things in secret."

Fu Siheng gave a cold laugh and said, "Looks like they followed us here."

"Yeah, what should we do now? Judging by their looks... if they have bad intentions towards the hotel owner, can she handle it?"

Fu Siheng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see."

He was very curious about what the hotel owner would do if someone really tried to rob the hotel and supplies.

Of course, if the hotel owner really couldn't handle it, he would definitely step in.

"I'm sorry, but there are no vacant rooms available now. Please leave," Gu Wanyin said coldly.

"Leave? Hahaha..." The short man laughed as if he had heard something hilarious. "Little beauty, do you think we'd leave now that we're here? You'd better hand over this place and all the supplies to us. If you do that, we might even keep you around, hehe..."

Then he looked at Fu Siheng and said, "You're Fu Siheng, right? I know you. You're very capable. How about this? This time, don't interfere. We'll split this place and the supplies with you fifty-fifty. What do you say?"

Fu Siheng didn't speak, just looked at Gu Wanyin.

He saw that Gu Wanyin was actually smiling.

Not a smile of anger, but as if she had been amused by some joke.

"I'll give you one more chance," Gu Wanyin said leisurely. "Leave right now, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Unfortunately, these two men didn't care about her threat at all. In their eyes, Gu Wanyin was just an ordinary girl, and she didn't look like an ability user.

So they weren't worried at all, and even said lecherously, "How could we bear to leave when we see a beauty like you?"

Gu Wanyin's smile grew even brighter. She immediately said to the system:

"System, teach these two bastards a good lesson!"
