Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 168



Although he had just said something annoying, there was no need to turn him away just for one comment.

Completing the task and earning points was the priority.

Besides, if anything went wrong, the system could immediately remove him.

Eugene followed Gu Wanyin through the main gate.

When he saw the fountain and angel statue in the front courtyard, he was stunned.

"This sculpture is incredibly detailed!" Eugene exclaimed, "I\'ve never... ahem, I\'ve never seen such an exquisite sculpture before!"

Gu Wanyin didn\'t respond and led him into the castle.

When Eugene saw the castle\'s great hall, he was even more amazed.

Having followed the Duke, he wasn\'t unfamiliar with luxurious castles.

But what era was this now?

With the vampires\' arrival, the apocalypse had begun!

How could such a luxurious castle not be occupied by vampires? How could humans still live here?

"Shuwen, we have a new guest," Gu Wanyin said to Bai Shuwen, who was sitting at the reception desk.

"Alright, please come over, I\'ll help you check in."

Eugene looked at both of them.

These two young women were exceptionally beautiful, but they didn\'t seem particularly formidable.

Still, he didn\'t act rashly and walked to the reception desk, asking, "How do I check in?"

"You can exchange Blood Element Pearls, or gold items, jewels, diamonds, and such for points. Then you can use the points to pay for your room and buy things in the hotel."

Eugene frowned, then removed a gold ring from his finger.

"Will this work?"

"Of course."

Eugene\'s gold ring was exchanged for fifty points.

He requested a single room.

After Bai Shuwen helped him check in, he began wandering around the hotel.

He met several hotel guests during his exploration and learned much about the hotel\'s situation from them.

Gradually, he came to understand most things about the hotel.

Eugene felt elated.

The Duke\'s troops had been roughing it for many days.

Moreover, their provisions were running low.

Having such a place for the Duke and other soldiers to rest and recover would be perfect!

Although they needed to exchange items for points to stay in the hotel, if he remembered correctly, the Duke should have six Blood Element Pearls.

They had indeed killed six vampires during this time.

But correspondingly, their original force of over sixty people had been reduced to just over twenty.

It was worth noting that the Duke\'s soldiers were all well-trained...

Yet they had suffered such heavy casualties against vampires.

And they had only killed relatively ordinary vampires.

Thinking about this, Eugene\'s expression darkened.

Was there really any hope for their future?

Even if they found this temporary shelter, what would they do when the food ran out? What if vampires discovered this place?

During check-in, Bai Shuwen had told him vampires couldn\'t enter here, but he didn\'t quite believe it.

How could there be any place vampires couldn\'t enter?

However, there was no use worrying about all that now; getting the Duke and other soldiers here to rest was the priority.

With this thought, Eugene excitedly left the hotel and hurried back to where the Duke and other soldiers were stationed.

...

Gu Wanyin drove the carriage in an unfamiliar direction, and after quite a while, she hadn\'t seen anyone.

Just as she was about to ask the system to bring up a map to check if there were any towns nearby, she heard the system\'s voice.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, task completed! Rewards: Unlocked ten plots of super fertile land; unlocked two mystery box machines; unlocked one personal Spirit Pet."

As soon as the system finished speaking, Gu Wanyin heard a "plop" sound as a small squirrel landed on the cushion beside her.

"Ouch, why did I have to fall down! That really hurt!"

The squirrel complained while rubbing its bottom.

"You... are you the system?" Gu Wanyin asked in surprise.

This squirrel looked exactly like the one the system had transformed into when she saved it in the horror world.

The squirrel quickly jumped onto her shoulder, patted her head, and said, "Host, who else could I be? I thought the squirrel form I took in the horror world was quite cute, so I told the doctor to make my physical form look like that."

"So does this mean you can stay materialized like this from now on?" Gu Wanyin asked excitedly.

"That\'s right! Host, aren\'t you happy?"

"Of course! The hotel will have another server now!"

System: "...I\'m your system, not your server, hey!"

"Oh come on, System, if the hotel gets busy in the future, would you really have the heart not to help us? Besides, if I earn more points, won\'t you be able to stay in first place?"

"Well, that\'s true..."

"But how did the task suddenly get completed? Weren\'t we supposed to get twenty guests? We had one this morning, still needed nineteen more! How did we get nineteen more guests in less than a morning?"

"Host, you\'ll understand when you get back."

Gu Wanyin immediately sped up the carriage and returned to the hotel.

Then she learned that the man from this morning was actually a subordinate of a Duke.

And that Duke had brought a team of over twenty people.

Now all these people had checked into her hotel.

This made Gu Wanyin quite happy.

She had thought it would take several days to complete this task.

She hadn\'t expected to receive the rewards so quickly.

Gu Wanyin vigorously rubbed the squirrel\'s head.

"Host, be gentle! I have a physical form now, I can feel pain!"

"Oh, sorry, System. By the way, I remember there were mystery box machines in the rewards, let me check them out."

The mystery box machines were placed in the lobby.

There were two machines in total.

One sold snacks and beverages.

Aliali: 6743211ac4f3f33ac42e7315

A mystery box cost ten points.

The boxes contained various snacks and drinks, and what you got depended on luck.

The other machine sold Chinese meal sets.

These mystery boxes cost twenty points each.

The specific dishes you received also depended on luck.

Gu Wanyin first tried the snack mystery box.

She didn\'t need to swipe a card; after selecting a box, it appeared on a platform below.

Gu Wanyin picked it up and opened it to find a bag of french fries, a bottle of cola, and two packets of sunflower seeds.

"Not bad," Gu Wanyin said, "Getting all this for ten points is quite a good deal."

The system said greedily, "Host, can I have that bottle of cola? I\'ve always wanted to know what cola tastes like!"
