After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 48

　Chapter 48 – Unlocking More Rooms

The man nodded frantically in excitement: “It’s delicious!”

　　Wen Bei: “That’s good. If it’s delicious, you can spend a little more…eat more.”

　　”Okay!” The man who had become somewhat silly nodded halfway when he suddenly remembered something, “Where are those soldiers from the Lawful Army?”

　　There were more than a dozen people from the Lawful Army, but they hadn’t come to the restaurant to eat. Could it be that they already went outside to find a suitable place to build a factory near the Hotel?

　　His intuition told him it couldn’t be that simple.

　　Wen Bei thought for a moment and said, “It seems that they went to the KTV for team bonding. In the KTV, you can not only sing, but also order food from the restaurant remotely. However, it seems that there are no vacant rooms now.”

　　All rooms were completely occupied by them and a few individual visitors.

　　Several mercenaries were stunned, and after a long while they managed to utter: “They are so despicable!”

　　=•°•=•°•=

　　After placing a revengeful order at the restaurant, the mercenaries returned to their room.

　　The room they booked was at the end of the building, and the moment they walked in, they all felt a sense of unreality.

　　The rooms did not look luxurious, but they were full of tranquillity and warmth. There was a balcony, from which one could see the scenery outside, and the beautiful white flowers and rockery in the front garden could also be seen clearly.

　　Unlike the sky in the base, which is blocked by a grey cover to isolate pollution, the view here is very clear. At a glance, it could be seen that the once popular city had almost turned into a sea of green, with polluted plants occupying every corner.

　　In the past, they only felt terror, but perhaps after they had the guaranteed security in the Hotel, they actually began to appreciate the scenery and observed this new world so calmly for the first time.

　　It didn’t seem so hideous.

　　With hope in heart, fear and resistance to the world are reduced a lot.

　　Bai You was slightly stunned as he looked at the scenery outside the balcony. The person standing next to him suddenly sighed: “Actually, staying in the Hotel is really a good choice.”

　　He looked like he was talking to himself, but actually he was talking to Bai You.

　　Bai You didn’t say anything and continued to remain silent, as if something outside was attracting him.

　　The mercenary who had spoken to him retreated back to the room and fought with others for the only bed.

　　Wen Bei just upgraded the furniture in the rooms, so double beds had become standard in every room.

　　But the room wasn’t just for the two of them to share, and each of them is a big buff man with long arms and legs. So some of them were destined to sleep on the floor.

　　Even so, the living conditions were already thousands of times better than camping outside the base.

　　Those who didn’t get to use the bed didn’t get upset. They happily took out their sleeping bags and spread them on the ground.

　　The rooms usually only accommodate one person, but squeezing four people in at once like they did is tacitly allowed, but that was the maximum.

　　The corresponding thing is, the more people live in the same room, the more they need to share. Even the efficiency of reducing pollution was evenly divided among everyone living in the room. So, it is most cost-effective to live alone in order to reap the maximum benefit.

　　The Rabbit Butler had made it clear to them when they checked in, but they didn’t care.

　　As long as they could stay in the hotel, what’s the harm in spending a little more money?

　　Wen Bei returned to his room, which was still as clean and tidy as it was when he left.

　　He began to calculate the money the Hotel had earned recently. The bills were automatically generated by the Hotel and were clear at a glance.

　　In the few short days he was away, the hotel had actually earned 50,000 crystals.

　　Wen Bei’s eyes lit up, and all the slight sleepiness he had felt disappeared at once. He quickly called the Rabbit Butler.

　　When the Rabbit Butler heard that he wanted to unlock the remaining four rooms on the third floor, his beard couldn’t help but tremble: “It will cost 20,000 crystal stones, are you sure?”

　　It had thought that Wen Bei, who loved money so much, would be very careful with his money, but it had not expected him to be so generous. It seemed that he cared very much about restoring the glory of the Hotel.

　　Thinking of it, the Rabbit Butler felt happy again.

　　Wen Bei gave it a strange look: “Of course I’m sure.”

　　He always kept in mind the saying that you can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb.

　　The greater the cost, the more he will gain in the end.

　　What’s more, it only costs 5,000 crystals to unlock a room, and the cost could be recovered if a guest stays there just for one night.

　　Without saying a word, the Rabbit Butler brought up the upgrade page and helped click on the unlock button.

　　The more than 50,000 crystals were instantly reduced by half, leaving more than 30,000.

　　Wen Bei’s expression showed a little pain: “Let’s buy some new furniture.”

　　He clicked open the mall option, quickly ignored a batch of pink furniture with cat claws, and instead set his eyes on a set of beautiful retro screens embroidered with a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

　　Of course, what attracted him more was not just the appearance, but the conspicuous red word below: DISCOUNT.

　　The Rabbit Butler came over to take a look: “But this thing doesn’t seem to fit in with the style of the hotel room.”

　　Wen Bei thought for a moment: “Haven’t you heard of theme rooms?”

　　The Rabbit Butler was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

　　Wen Bei showed a satisfied smile: “In the same hotel, sometimes not every room has to be exactly the same. They can have different themes.”

　　He followed the screen and clicked on the discount area, and discovered a new world.

　　There are discounts in the mall every day, sometimes they are useless junk, and sometimes they are very cost-effective.

　　Today’s discounted items are from the same series, all antiques.

　　The phoenix screen only costs fifty crystals, a mahogany couch with carvings only costs one hundred crystals, and a holly glazed pot only costs ten crystals.

　　Wen Bei bought it without saying a word. It feels so good to have money in hand.

　　He decorated the last room on the third floor with a retro theme. A screen divided the room into two parts, and he also bought a large bed carved out of mahogany.

　　The big bed and the small bed are separated. The small bed is a soft couch and is placed next to a bookcase. There is a desk next to the small bed, which is equipped with brushes and ink grinding tools. One could practise calligraphy at any time to cultivate their sentiments. When they were tired of writing, they could just lie on the soft couch to rest.

　　Wen Bei only needed to operate on the system interface to directly drop the furniture into the last room, even changing the angle and moving the position could be done using the system controls. Thus, he could easily arrange it until he is satisfied.

　　He looked at the holly-glazed vase and couldn’t help but click on the details to take a closer look. He found that the vase was actually quite old, and the price was just ten crystals.

　　For hotels, historical value is meaningless, and the antiques are often the easiest to be sold at a low price in shopping malls.

　　Wen Bei picked and chose, and bought another dark blue flat-mouthed vase to place at the entrance of the room. It was decorated with gold-painted patterns of flowers, birds and animals. Worried that the room would be a bit monotonous, he also picked out a few ink paintings to hang on the wall. There were no signatures on them, but they were vivid and lifelike.

　　Of course, the bathroom in such a room cannot be equipped with an ordinary modern bathtub. Wen Bei bought a bathtub that can easily accommodate an adult. Next to the bathtub are flower petals and soap, as well as incense to calm the mind and relieve fatigue.

　　After several renovations, what was originally just a room with a modern atmosphere suddenly became a room that would only appear in the homes of ancient nobles.

　　Wen Bei was very satisfied with the transformation. He had only spent a total of 500 crystals and managed to get a brand new themed room.

　　The Rabbit Butler praised: “It’s really beautiful.”

　　Wen Bei curled his lips and smiled, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes: “The price of this room has been raised to 6,000 crystal stones a day.”

　　The Rabbit Butler was not surprised at all. He shook his ears and asked, “Do you want to continue upgrading other things?”

　　Wen Bei blinked: “Is there anything else that can be upgraded?”

　　The Rabbit Butler became interested: “That’s a lot! The retail area has reached the upgrade standard. Now it’s just a small shop, and after the upgrade, it will become a convenience store!”

　　Wen Bei was indeed tempted: “How many crystals?”

　　Rabbit Butler: “Five thousand.”

　　Wen Bei clicked for the upgrade without much hesitation.

　　Although the items in the retail area are priced fixed and cheap, a little bit of money can add up to a lot. More importantly, the items in the sales area are updated after 24 hours, there is no cost involved, and there is a fixed quantity available every day.

　　After the upgrade, Wen Bei followed the Rabbit Butler downstairs to check.

　　It was already nine o’clock in the evening and the restaurant was only open until 8:30pm, so when he walked into the restaurant area, it was empty.

　　He saw the newly upgraded retail area at a glance.

　　It had changed from a small corner in the restaurant to a store directly inside the restaurant. The restaurant is a little dark, but the outside of the new retail area is still brightly lit. There are three layers of shelves inside and outside that are filled with snacks and bread, and one layer of shelves is filled with daily necessities, including the most basic facial tissues, paper towels and toilet paper rolls, and even family planning products.

　　There are also two very conspicuous red vending machines, which are full of drinks, one side is cold drinks and the other side is hot drinks. You just need to put two crystals in and then choose a drink, and it will fall out by itself.

　　All the soft breads on the shelves look fresh.

　　There are everything from grape toast, hot dog buns, to pork floss buns.

　　All the food above was unbranded. Wen Bei opened a bag of potato chips and ate them, and they were cucumber flavoured.

　　The Rabbit Butler looked up and asked, “Is there a carrot flavour?”

　　Wen Bei: “No.”

　　The Rabbit Butler was very puzzled: “You humans are really weird. You are willing to come up with a flavour for cucumbers, but not for carrots.”

　　Wen Bei recalled that he had eaten several meals of boiled carrots when he first arrived at the Hotel, and his face became a little ugly again: “Aren’t you a rabbit? Shouldn’t rabbits like to eat timothy grass more?”

　　The Rabbit Butler looked at him with disdain: “A cute cartoon rabbit like me must have a cute setting.”

　　Wen Bei: “…”

　　‘No, wake up from your dream, take off the pink suit and vest, you are just an ordinary rabbit with big meat, which can be found everywhere in the market, and you have a donkey face.’

　　Wen Bei finally retained the last bit of tenderness and did not speak the truth in his heart.

　　He took out two crystals from his pocket and threw them into the hot drink vending machine, and chose a can of hot red bean soup. He didn’t like red beans, but it could be used to warm his hands.

　　After warming his hands for a while, Wen Bei handed the red bean soup to the Rabbit Butler: “Do you feel it’s a bit cold tonight?”

　　The Rabbit Butler had a lot of fur, so he didn’t feel anything. He shook his head and drank the red bean soup with his nimble paws.

　　The temperature was normal during the day, but it seemed to drop several degrees at night.

　　Thinking of the capricious weather after the end of the world, Wen Bei suddenly became a little worried about a sharp drop in temperature.

　　He wanted to go back to his room and hide in the warm bed to sleep, so he packed up the half-eaten potato chips and prepared to leave.

　　The Rabbit Butler couldn’t sleep yet because the people in the KTV area were still singing in the private room. After drinking the red bean soup given by Wen Bei, it jumped over to watch.

　　The Rabbit Butler doesn’t need to sleep, which is very convenient.

　　Due to the excellent sound insulation, no sound can be heard even if the microphone is turned up to the maximum.

　　So, the KTV could be left open until two in the morning.
