After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 11

　The three people who had been thirsty for a long time drank all of the water offered to them without even caring whether the water was poisoned or not.

　　Like a dead tree being watered, his body, which was feeling uncomfortable everywhere, suddenly felt relieved.

　　Fang Dashan: “Thank you very much.”

　　Ji Mingyuan: “The water in the Hotel is free.”

　　After that, he gave each of them another cup of water.

　　Water was also a precious resource in the apocalypse. Thankfully, the faucet of the magical Hotel could keep water flowing out even though it was not connected to the water pipe.

　　If he hadn’t remembered his ownidentity as an employee, Ji Mingyuan would have wanted to dismantle the Hotel and study its structure carefully.

　　It wasn’t until after they drank their third glass of water that Wen Bei returned from the kitchen with a bowl of freshly made dumpling soup.

　　The aroma of thedumpling soup awakened the appetites of the three hungry people.

　　Fang Dashan stared at the bowl of dumpling soup with wide eyes and couldn’t believe it.

　　Each dumpling inside looked full of meat, the dumpling skin was white with a bit of lustre, and there was also a little golden layer of oil on the soup, which was very fragrant.

　　At least from the outside, it looked like a perfectly qualified dumpling soup.

　　The scent went all the way to the tip of his nose, and Fang Dashan’s mouth secreted saliva rapidly. He regretted that he didn’t bring more crystals with him when he escaped.

　　There was no such thing as a crystal card in the safe area. Too many crystals would make the luggage heavy.

　　Fang Dashan pinched his thigh meat before he successfully moved his eyes away from the dumpling soup: “Can you get us two more small bowls?”

　　Wen Bei nodded, and Butler Rabbit went directly to the self-service seasoning area and fetched two more small bowls.

　　Fang Dashan divided the dumplings between the two children. There were sixteen dumplings in the bowl of dumpling soup. He took out the dumplings from the big bowl and divided them evenly into the two small bowls. After passing them to the children, he drank a mouthful of the soup first.

　　The delicious flavour suddenly bloomed on the taste buds.

　　Fang Dashan: “Delicious!”

　　As soon as the warm soup entered his stomach, the anxious feeling was instantly relieved.

　　The children had never seen dumplings before. They clumsily scooped up the dumplings with a spoon out of curiosity. When they bit into the outer skin, they were burned a bit, but neither of them was willing to spit it out. They quickly chewed it hard and swallowed it in two mouthfuls.

　　The next step wass to gain experience. Before eating, they blew it twice and then put it in their mouth.

　　When each of them had only three dumplings left in their small bowls, they suddenly didn’t want to eat any more.

　　The twins looked at their father.

　　Fang Dashan panicked: “Why don’t you eat? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

　　Was there really something wrong with the dumplings? But he had drunk the soup first and obviously had no reaction at all.

　　The twins shook their heads in unison, stretched out their hands and pushed the bowl towards their father: “Eat.”

　　Fang Dashan was stunned for a moment, and the tip of his nose instantly felt sore after he realised what they were doing.

　　He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand in embarrassment and said to cover up: “Dad is not hungry, just drink soup.”

　　The twins looked at each other, but neither one wanted to move. They looked at their father, with the rare stubbornness of a child.

　　Even if Fang Dashan pretended to be angry, it was useless. He was moved and anxious inside.

　　Suddenly there was another bowl of dumpling soup on the table.

　　Wen Bei’s eyes were calm: “I only took a sip of soup from this bowl. If you don’t mind, please have it.”

　　Seeing Fang Dashan standing there dumbly, he added: “I will not charge for this bowl.”

　　Fang Dashan finally came to his senses and choked with sobs: “Thank you.”

　　After saying that, he even knelt down to him.

　　This man, who had been treated coldly and unkindly by the apocalypse for five years, shed undisguised tears in front of his children for the first time.

　　Not long ago, when he wanted to use his last bullet to commit suicide on the road, his emotions did not fluctuate so violently. All the things that were suppressed in his heart burst out because of the kindness of the strangers.

　　Wen Bei’s move was undoubtedly a redemption to some extent for him.

　　The moment his knees were about to touch the ground, Wen Bei quickly helped him up.

　　Even though he had not experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse, he was still well aware that it was a very rare thing to give food to others.

　　But he wasn’t completely out of ideas.

　　A businessman couldn’t afford to be too generous if he had no profit.

　　Fang Dashan: “Benefactor, if there is anything I can do to help you, just tell me.”

　　After saying that, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

　　With such a magical hotel and unknown strength, how could he, a man who almost starved himself and his children to death, be able to help the young man in front of him?

　　He was sure that his benefactor would think that he was ridiculous.

　　The Rabbit Butler looked slightly sideways.

　　His new master was very smart.

　　Just a brief contact could change people’s impression of him from a boss to a lifesaver.

　　Fang Dashan did not expect that after the young man heard what he said, not only did he not laugh or scorn, but he tilted his head seriously and thought for a moment.

　　There was even a trace of distress on his delicate little face, which made people want to do their best to help him.

　　Wen Bei rolled his eyes: “I really have a small favour that I need from you.”

　　As soon as Fang Dashan heard that he could help, his lowered head suddenly rose again.

　　Wen Bei motioned for him to finish eating first. After watching him and the two children devour the bowl of dumplings, he held his chin and said with a smile in his eyes: “As you can see, my hotel business is not very good. .”

　　Fang Dashan looked around and nodded in confusion.

　　He didn’t understand how a magical place like this could be unpopular.

　　Wen Bei: “I only have one request, that is, after you leave here and meet other people, you must do some publicity for my hotel.”

　　Fang Dashan’s eyes widened: “Is it that simple?”

　　Wen Bei nodded: “Yes.”

　　After eating something to relieve the discomfort of starvation, his rationality returned a little bit. Fang Dashan suddenly remembered the leaflet.

　　The benefactor had such a powerful thing, but still let him promote it. It must be to make him eat the bowl of dumplings more calmly.

　　He had almost forgotten what real food tasted like before the end.

　　After eating the dumplings, he didn’t know why his mood that was originally numb to death suddenly lifted up.

　　He still wanted to live.

　　Only by surviving, he could see such a miracle once again.

　　So Fang Dashan fumbled for the bag of crystals from his backpack. He first paid the ten crystals for the dumplings, then grabbed the remaining in the small bag and asked shamelessly if he could exchange it for something else.

　　Fang Dashan was very embarrassed: “We escaped from the safe zone in the east and are going to the H City base. We still have two days to go, but we have no food.”

　　The Hotel finally had its first turnover, and many new hotel privileges were suddenly unlocked in Wen Bei’s mind.

　　Wen Bei glanced at his leathered money bag, his eyes shining: “Of course, we have a retail area where the food is cheaper.”

　　Fang Dashan thanked him and followed Butler Rabbit to the retail area in the corner of the restaurant.

　　He looked at the price tag above in astonishment.

　　A large piece of toast costs only five crystals, and a box of butter cookies with nuts only costs eight crystals.

　　There were also some colourful candies that only cost a handful of crystals. They were placed in nice-shaped glass jars that looked crystal clear. Everything was neatly arranged on small shelves.

　　The small corner reminded him of the canteen from his childhood dreams.

　　No one could resist it.

　　Fang Dashan swallowed and exchanged the last ten crystals in his money bag for a large loaf of bread, and the remaining five crystals were all exchanged for high-calorie, easy-to-carry chocolate.

　　The two children had never eaten snacks since they were born. They looked curiously at the thing called chocolate in their father’s hand.

　　Fang Dashan peeled off one of the golden wrappers of the chocolates, divided it into several small pieces. He picked up two of them and stuffed them into the children’s mouths respectively.

　　Finally, a smile appeared on his face like any ordinary father would when coaxing his child: “Does it taste good?”

　　The twins’ expressionless faces once again had the same smile as before: “It’s delicious.”

　　The elder one glanced at his younger one and touched his belly: “It feels good.”

　　The younger brother also nodded: “Comfortable.”

　　At first, Fang Dashan thought that they felt comfortable since they were rarely full. It was not until he saw the numerical changes on their black bracelets that he suddenly realised the true meaning behind what they said.

　　He suddenly remembered that on that flyer, there was a written propaganda that he had regarded as a scam.

　　It’s actually true.

　　Spending money in the magical hotel could actually reduce pollution levels.

　　”A gift from God.” Fang Dashan murmured, “This must be a gift from God.”

　　…

　　After sending them away, Ji Mingyuan went to clear away the dishes in silence.

　　He looked at the empty bowls and sighed slightly in his heart.

　　His boss was really a good person.

　　Taking advantage of his privileges as the owner, Wen Bei directly took a bun from the retail area and ate it while watching his good employee completing the task that was not considered security.

　　It seemed the Hotel still needed a cleaner.

　　Although the Hotel had its own retroactive cleaning capabilities and did not produce excess dust and other dirt, and there was no need to sweep the floor and mop the cabinets, some garbage generated by guests still needed to be cleaned manually.

　　After eating, the dishes and chopsticks also needed to be put back into the stone pot before they could be automatically recycled.

　　While Wen Bei was thinking, the restaurant had returned to its original spotless state. He looked at Ji Mingyuan and asked, “Is there any difference between the safe zone and the base?”
