Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 5

She went downstairs to the hotel lobby and saw Gu Wanyin already sitting at the front desk, looking at a tablet.

The tablet was also kept in the main room, and Gu Wanyin could use it to watch dramas and variety shows.

Dong Yue looked on, feeling very envious.

In this post-apocalyptic world, electricity was scarce. To generate power, only Crystal Cores could be used, as the previous methods of power generation were no longer effective.

The sunlight in this world seemed different from before, so even solar power generation was impossible.

A large number of Crystal Cores were needed just to barely power a small light bulb.

So even the high-ranking officials in the Survivor Base rarely used electric lights, let alone phones or computers.

But the hotel owner here could use a tablet!

Moreover, the small light bulb in her room, which she had just tried, was working and very bright!

What kind of magical place was this?

Dong Yue came back to her senses and saw that Gu Wanyin had already looked up and was smiling at her in greeting.

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Gu Wanyin's gaze was particularly... intense?

"Did you sleep well last night?" Gu Wanyin asked with a smile.

"Very well!" Dong Yue quickly replied, "Um, hotel owner, I'd like to extend my stay."

Gu Wanyin: "!"

She had just been wondering how to bring up the topic of extending the stay with Dong Yue.

She didn't expect the girl to mention it herself!

This was great!

"Do you have anything else with you?" Gu Wanyin asked cheerfully, "If so, put it on this machine to see how many points you can get."

Dong Yue nodded, walked to the front desk, and carefully took out a Level 1 Crystal Core from her pocket.

The Crystal Core wasn't large, it could be held completely in one's hand, and a Level 1 Crystal Core was green in color.

Gu Wanyin knew this was the Crystal Core often mentioned in the book and looked at it curiously.

Dong Yue placed the Crystal Core on the machine, and it quickly disappeared.

Although she felt a bit sorry to see it go, she quickly looked at her room card.

At this moment, her room card showed that she had 1,000 points!

"So many?" she couldn't help but exclaim, "A single Level 1 Crystal Core is worth 1,000 points!"

If only counting the room fee, this would be enough for her to stay at the hotel for 100 days!

"I didn't know Crystal Cores were so valuable!" she said to Gu Wanyin.

Gu Wanyin was also surprised.

If just one of the weakest Level 1 Crystal Cores could get 1,000 points, what about a Level 2 Crystal Core? 2,000 points?

She was also curious about what happened to these points after they were deducted. Did they go to the system? What would the system use them for?

However, this wasn't something she needed to worry about. She only needed to manage the hotel well, complete tasks, get more rewards, and enjoy herself.

"You now have 1,000 points. How long do you want to extend your stay?" Gu Wanyin asked.

Dong Yue thought for a moment and asked, "Can I extend my stay at any time? Will the room rate increase?"

"You can extend your stay at any time, and the price won't increase," Gu Wanyin said.

She had asked the system about this before, and the system said that the pricing for each room was fixed. Whatever it was at the beginning, it would stay the same, even if the room was upgraded later.

So Dong Yue's room would always be 10 points per day.

"Then I'll extend for ten days first!"

"Alright, Room 201, extended for ten days, is that correct?"

"Yes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Yue saw that the points on her room card had changed to 900.

But she didn't feel sorry at all.

Because she could now spend ten peaceful days here!

"Alright, ten days later at 3:42 PM, if you don't extend your stay, please check out on time!"

Then, the system's voice sounded in her mind: "Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed the task. Reward: Guest Room 203, unlimited milk, unlimited eggs, unlimited rice, and two unlimited dishes."

"New task unlocked: Recruit two more hotel guests. Rewards: Room 204, three unlimited dishes, two unlimited drinks, two unlimited fruits, and one upgrade for Room 201."

Dong Yue was about to say something more to Gu Wanyin when she suddenly saw Gu Wanyin's face light up with joy as she stood up from the front desk and ran in a certain direction.

She wondered what was going on.

After hesitating for a moment, she didn't dare to follow and instead waited obediently where she was.

She still wanted to use her points to buy two more pieces of bread from Gu Wanyin.

Gu Wanyin went straight back to the main room and called Cola and Hamburger, who were watching TV, and then went to the large dining hall next to the main room.

She stood in front of the food dispensing machine and saw that indeed, the icons for boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, and so on were lit up, as was the rice icon. Since both rice and eggs were unlocked, the egg fried rice icon was also lit.

In addition, two other dish icons were lit up: twice-cooked pork and spicy chicken!

Gu Wanyin was overjoyed.

Finally, they could improve their diet a bit instead of just eating instant noodles and bread!

"Sister, where is this? What is that machine for?" Cola asked curiously.

"Cola, Hamburger, do you want to eat eggs? And egg fried rice! Twice-cooked pork, spicy chicken!"

Hamburger's mouth fell open in surprise: "What? Can we eat these? Do we have them?"

"Of course we do!"

Gu Wanyin tapped the screen a few times, selecting one plate each of twice-cooked pork and spicy chicken, three servings of egg fried rice, and three servings of fried eggs.

Soon, these foods appeared in the dispensing area below, each on clean, white plates, steaming hot.

The plates were of normal size, with portions that were neither too much nor too little, but Gu Wanyin wasn't worried about not having enough.

Because it was unlimited! If it wasn't enough, they could always get more!

The aroma of eggs and meat immediately filled the air.

Cola and Hamburger inhaled greedily.

Since the apocalypse, they had never eaten normal meals.

They thought being able to eat instant noodles and bread was already a supreme luxury.

They never expected to be able to eat things like this!

That was real meat dishes! And! Egg fried rice!

They happily carried all the food to a table and grabbed chopsticks and spoons.

Gu Wanyin eagerly took a bite of the fried egg.

Golden and fragrant, and not greasy at all!

The egg fried rice was simply eggs and rice stir-fried with green onions, but it was exceptionally delicious!

The twice-cooked pork and spicy chicken were even better, fresh and flavorful. Gu Wanyin felt they tasted much better than any twice-cooked pork or spicy chicken she had eaten before her transmigration!

After a few bites, she suddenly remembered something and said to Cola and Hamburger, "You two eat first."

Then she stood up and walked out of the dining hall.

She had been so excited earlier that she forgot the hotel still had a guest, and that person would surely need food too.

This was really unacceptable, and Gu Wanyin severely reprimanded herself.

It was all because she got too excited about not having to eat instant noodles and bread all the time...

But this wasn't something a diligent hotel manager should do!

She returned to the hotel lobby and indeed saw Dong Yue still standing there waiting for her.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Gu Wanyin hurriedly walked over and said, "Did you want to buy more food?"

"Yes," Dong Yue nodded, "Is there any more bread? I'd like to buy two more pieces."

"We have bread, but now the hotel has other food as well," Gu Wanyin smiled, "Would you like to come with me and take a look?"
