After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 47

　　Chapter 47 – Unlocking More Dishes

Both the small restaurant and the KTV rooms are cheap, especially the restaurant.

　　Housing is much more expensive.

　　Suddenly, there were more than thirty guests, and the Rabbit Butler was very busy.

　　Ji Mingyuan went to help him out without giving them a chance to say more.

　　No matter how reluctant Bai You was, he knew his temper and could only queue up obediently.

　　While they were just talking, other people had already taken all the seats, leaving no room left in either the restaurant or the KTV.

　　Huang Qian also grabbed the last empty room.

　　She generously booked a three-day stay.

　　The Rabbit Butler was very satisfied with her behaviour of spending money and registered without saying a word.

　　Bai You and others were unable to get a room, and then they realised that there were not many rooms in the Hotel, and most were occupied. Although there were hourly rooms, each person could not stay for more than twelve hours.

　　If they couldn’t get a room, it only meant that they had to camp outside the hotel.

　　Although they were familiar and accustomed to camping outside when going out on a mission, it seemed much more sad with the presence of a hotel.

　　They had to find a way to stay.

　　The first person they targeted was a polluter who was about to move in.

　　He had also come here some time ago because of its reputation. His own pollution level had reached 80, and he was really afraid of any accidents. After hearing about the existence of the Hotel, he rushed here with a glimmer of hope.

　　He didn’t expect it to be true, so he spent all his savings to buy a room. Since he had just killed a powerful filth creature, the Hotel estimated that the filth creature was worth three thousand crystals, so he was able to stay one more night by scraping together some money.

　　When Bai You found him, he was just about to use the last bit of crystal he had to book a room for another night.

　　After hearing what Bai You said, he sneered: “Are you kidding? You seriously think I’ll give it to you guys?”

　　He turned his head and stuck out his lizard-like tongue. “I slept in the room here for one night, and the pollution level dropped from 82 to 75. If I sleep for another night, it might drop to 70. Why should I trade with you?”

　　The Rabbit Butler loves to watch humans quarrelling.

　　Bai You: “We can pay you double the money and exchange this room with you.”

　　Five thousand crystals a night, double that means he can get ten thousand crystals for free.

　　Ten thousand crystals is not a lot for a powerful polluter, but it still takes some effort to save up this considerable amount of crystals.

　　What’s more, the crystals were obtained at the cost of their lives.

　　The man hesitated for less than a few seconds before refusing with a firm attitude.

　　Bai You turned his gaze back to the Rabbit Butler: “We’ll pay double, can you give us the room?”

　　The man showed a look of disdain, and it seemed that he was not afraid of them bargaining for the price at all.

　　Sure enough, the Rabbit Butler got angry when he heard this, stamping his feet and asking, “Are you insulting our rules?”

　　The rule of the hotel is— first come, first served. If customers want to exchange theirs with other customers, then, it is a matter between the customers. The Hotel will never interfere as long as there is no violence.

　　This rule was proposed by Wen Bei himself. Even though he loved money like his life, he knew that some precedents had to be set.

　　Otherwise, it would create a loophole, and more and more people will take advantage of it and find ways to squeeze other people’s resources.

　　The Rabbit Butler didn’t understand all that. He just simply disdained anyone breaking the hotel rules.

　　Bai You was stunned for a moment. He had no intention of making this strange rabbit angry. Fortunately, the person next to him looked big and strong, but he had more experience in handling things and apologised directly.

　　The Rabbit Butler snorted and stopped stamping his feet.

　　The man looked at the polluter again and said in a gentle voice, “We will give you 30,000 crystals. Please give us this room.”

　　The number suddenly doubled.

　　A thought flashed across the Polluter’s eyes.

　　He did not belong to any guild, and usually accepted tasks at random, so although the pollution level was high and the strength of his supernatural powers was great, he did not save much money. With 30,000 yuan in hand, he could always book a room by continuing to queue up another day. Even if he could not get a room, there were other expenses in the Hotel that could reduce the pollution level.

　　He tentatively raised the price again.

　　Finally, the room was transferred for 35,000 yuan.

　　What happened in the reception hall had nothing to do with Wen Bei. He was anxious to go to the restaurant to try out whether the filthy edible meat he had just acquired could unlock new recipes.

　　Most of these filth were brought from the breeding centre of the base, and some were caught on the way back in the past two days. Their levels are not very high, so it would be a bit of a disadvantage to exchange them with the hotel’s 【Trade】, but they are just right for unlocking new recipes.

　　The meat of Sticky Worm, Gurgling Worm and the Ball Flower Stems could altogether unlock 【Coke Chicken Wings】

　　The Rat Tail, Mutated Flea Liver and Date Paste could unlock 【Tonkotsu Ramen】

　　Narcissus Meat Core, Mutant Green Fruit, Red Visceral Meat and Mutant Rooster Eggs could unlock 【Pizza with Orleans Chicken Wings】 and 【Fruit Pizza】

　　Wen Bei unlocked the dishes without thinking much, and all four dishes appeared in front of him at once.

　　The price still did not exceed twenty crystals per piece, and the most expensive one is only eighteen crystals per piece.

　　Qiu Tin appeared out of nowhere. He lazily glanced at the screen, pointed at the two grey dishes which were yet to be unlocked and said, “I want to eat pan-fried buns and tomato pasta.”

　　Wen Bei was already used to the man’s shamelessness and glanced at him: “If you want to eat it, go find the raw materials yourself.”

　　Some of the raw materials needed to unlock the two dishes were things he had never even heard of, let alone seen.

　　The Rabbit Butler was listening to their conversation from nearby. His short tail puffed up a little, he was worried that the devil would get angry because of Wen Bei’s attitude.

　　The Hotel is just starting to get popular, so he didn’t want to let anything cause any trouble.

　　Unexpectedly, Qiu Tin just pondered for a moment and actually turned around to leave.

　　The Rabbit Butler breathed a sigh of relief and helped to bring out the new product. Bai You and the others had just used their money to exchange for a room and encountered the new dishes when they arrived at the restaurant.

　　The pizza was sprinkled with a lot of cheese, and it still had the aroma of bread and a little milk as if it was just taken out of the pan. The aroma of ramen and chicken wings was even more intense. There were five pieces of barbecued pork on the ramen, sprinkled with some chopped green onions, which looked particularly appetising.

　　Such food was delicious even before the end of the world.

　　Not to mention after the end of the world.

　　Bai You and the others were so amazed at the sight that their eyes widened. Any complaints they had about spending too much money disappeared. Seeing the food with their own eyes had a different impact than hearing about it from others.

　　The four of them ordered the four dishes without a second thought and paid for them directly. When they heard such a cheap price, they couldn’t help but ask twice for confirmation, as if they felt they were hallucinating and heard a few zeros missing.

　　It was not meal time, but there was still a polluter eating in the restaurant. He couldn’t help laughing at the dumbfounded looks of Bai You and the other three, but he had no ill intentions.

　　Because when he first arrived at the Hotel yesterday, the expression on his face was even more inexperienced than theirs, and he almost vomited because he wanted to eat all the dishes at once. In the end, Ji Mingyuan couldn’t stand it anymore and ordered him to go to the hourly room to rest.

　　Since it was a newly prepared dish, the Rabbit Butler put the dish on the table without saying a word and left.

　　The restaurant here is semi-self-service. Apart from ordering dishes, you have to get all the dipping dishes and chopsticks and spoons by yourself.

　　After Bai You sat down, he couldn’t wait to swallow his saliva.

　　The sound of swallowing saliva was particularly obvious. He suddenly felt embarrassed. He looked to the side and found that the other people were even more embarrassed than him and their saliva was almost flowing out.

　　He reached out and grabbed a piece of pizza, and stuffed it into his mouth regardless of whether it was hot or not.

　　At that moment, the fresh and salty taste of the New Orleans chicken wings and the refreshing texture of the sweet peppers burst in my mouth. The concentration of the crust and cheese was just right. Bai You finished a slice of pizza that was longer than his palm in just two bites. His mouth was so stuffed that he couldn’t open it. He swallowed it with the free water on the table.

　　”It’s so delicious.” The moment he swallowed, Bai You’s vision suddenly blurred.

　　He realised that he was crying because of the delicious food.

　　The smell seemed to pull him back from the cold and ruthless apocalypse to his college dormitory five years ago, when he would sit together with his roommates and eat takeout pizza.

　　There would be childish fights over who gets to eat the last piece.

　　He was so carefree at that time and had no idea that there was such a side to the world as the present.

　　Bai You quickly wiped away the tears that were about to fall, and the moment his vision became clear again, he was suddenly pulled back to reality.

　　The reality was that the other people didn’t give him any time to continue sighing or being pretentious. The four dishes on the table were almost gone. There was no need to fight. The place was like a battlefield and whoever was quicker got the dish.

　　Bai You: !!!

　　He quickly picked up his chopsticks, only having time to grab the last piece of chicken wing, and quickly put it into his mouth and took a bite.

　　The person next to me put down his chopsticks reluctantly, picked up the plate of cola chicken wings and licked all the sauce off it.

　　But no one thought his behaviour was shameful, and some even envied him.

　　Because it’s so delicious.

　　The person next to Bai You touched his belly and said, “This is fucking amazing!”

　　“It really tastes like food! This is gourmet food!”

　　”At such a cheap price, I can eat here every day. I won’t want to leave the Hotel for the rest of my life.”

　　”Wake up, you can’t afford to live in the room here if you don’t go back to work and take on missions.”

　　”No wonder Captain Ji doesn’t want to go back. If it were me, I wouldn’t want to go back to that crappy base either.”

　　The moment the last sentence came out, the originally cheerful and lively atmosphere at the table suddenly fell silent.

　　The man knew he had said the wrong thing and scratched his head in embarrassment: “Don’t worry, Captain Ji is more stable than any of us. I will not question his decisions, whether in the past or now.”

　　The atmosphere at the table relaxed a lot, and another person nodded in agreement: “Did you see those soldiers from the Lawful Army who came with us? They are here to build a factory. Once the factory is built and successfully cooperates with the hotel, we will be able to eat the Hotel’s food in the base.”

　　However, the owner had told them that by taking the preserved food back to the base through secondary processing, they might be able to restore the taste, but the ability to reduce the pollution level would be greatly reduced, and they would have to eat twice the amount to achieve the purification level of dining in the Hotel.

　　But these are minor problems. Once such food is delivered to the base, everyone will flock to it.

　　Not to mention the polluters who are eager to reduce pollution levels, even ordinary people would want to eat it, not only for the pursuit of the deliciousness of normal food, but also as a form of prevention.

　　Who wouldn’t like food that can reduce pollution and prolong one’s life?

　　After thinking about it, the expressions on the faces of the other people returned to their initial happy state. Only Bai You was still a little depressed, with his head lowered and his expression could not be seen clearly.

　　The senior next to him noticed his absent-mindedness and was about to order some more food to comfort him when he saw Wen Bei walking out of the kitchen.

　　He was so excited that he quickly stood up and greeted Wen Bei.

　　If his attitude towards him before was gratitude and respect, now it has turned into the same as most people who come to the Hotel for the first time – admiration.

　　This must be the saviour!

　　Wen Bei smiled at him: “Is it delicious?”
