After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 56

Chapter 56 – Hot Spring Unlocked

　　After Qiu Tin showed up, A Luo didn’t dare to bother Wen Bei anymore, and couldn’t even bring himself to ask him for help.

　　He was like some kind of animal with very sharp intuition, that could see the danger in the man at a glance.

　　Or maybe it could be said that no one in the Hotel felt that Qiu Tin was not dangerous.

　　A Luo didn’t have any extra crystals on him, so he couldn’t live in the Hotel. Fortunately, Xuan Yi and others were willing to temporarily take him in in order to build a cooperative canning factory near the Hotel.

　　The prerequisite is that he must provide labor.

　　Not long after A Luo left, Huang Qian came to find Wen Bei.

　　Today was her last day sleeping in the Hotel. She will leave early tomorrow morning. As an important administrator of the guild, she could not leave for too long.

　　Huang Qian: “The hot spring thing…”

　　Wen Bei smiled at her and said, “I’ll unlock it today.”

　　Fortunately, he had made a lot of money recently, so he could still have some spare money after unlocking the temperature control system.

　　When some mercenaries run out of money, they would exchange filth for money. The filth they exchange usually exceeds the value of the original items traded, which happens to be an extra source of income for the hotel.

　　Huang Qian’s eyes lit up and she could hardly wait.

　　Her excited state attracted Bo Ji. As a researcher, Bo Ji had an extraordinary sensitivity to a series of things with scientific research value.

　　He put on the sprained glasses again: “Is there anything new?”

　　Wen Bei did not deny: “Yeah.”

　　Seeing that Bo Ji was about to get excited again, Wen Bei hurriedly said, “You guys should go back to your room for a while, and then go to the back garden gate at eight o’clock in the evening.”

　　Huang Qian and Bo Ji looked at each other. These few days were enough for them to explore the Hotel thoroughly, so they naturally knew that there was an area behind the hotel.

　　They could even see the looming mountain behind.

　　This place used to be a bustling city called H before the end of the world. Others might not understand this, but Huang Qian, as a local, knew very well that there were no mountains originally at the location of the Hotel.

　　She was smart enough to never think of questioning it.

　　In the days of the apocalypse, there are some things that don’t need to be explored deeply.

　　They had long been very curious about what the blocked area looked like, so they nodded in agreement and went upstairs to their rooms without saying a word.

　　They all thought that Wen Bei could come and go freely in the back garden, but they didn’t know that today was also his first time to step in.

　　Wen Bei was no less curious than they were.

　　After everyone left, Wen Bei walked straight to the heavy door of the back garden, from which a small line of words floated: 【Are you sure you want to unlock the back garden.】

　　【Yes.】

　　Another familiar option.

　　The unlocking amount that seemed out of reach at first is no longer a stretch.

　　Wen Bei gently hooked his finger, his fingertips hovered over the yes option for a moment, and then he pressed it.

　　Qiu Tin appeared behind him out of nowhere.

　　The two of them looked at the back garden door that was slowly unlocked – it was just as barren as they had imagined.

　　If the front garden used to be a pile of dead grass and stones, then the back garden is a piece of yellow earth. In the middle of a huge open space, one could see a steaming hot spring. Even the hot spring is made of simply stacked stones. The spring eye of the hot spring is constantly gurgling out, as if forming a cycle of its own.

　　There is a wall separating the back garden from the back mountain. The wall is not high, so one could see the mountain behind the Hotel more clearly. The snow covered the entire mountaintop, making it look silver.

　　The small gate leading in and out of the back mountain is a bamboo gate, but if the back mountain is not unlocked, even a bamboo gate couldn’t be broken into.

　　Wen Bei tried several times and gave up after finding that he really couldn’t get in.

　　He turned and looked towards the hot spring.

　　It is probably large enough to accommodate ten people at a time.

　　But the back garden is too simple, there is not even the most basic place to change clothes.

　　Wen Bei opened the mall skillfully and found things that could be used to build a hot spring.

　　”Just build it into a bathhouse.”

　　The Rabbit Butler’s beard trembled violently. “What? Bathhouse? This is a hot spring that can improve people’s physical fitness! And this hot spring has a self-cleansing function, any dirt that enters will be purified!”

　　Wen Bei looked innocent: “Then it would be more suitable for building a bathhouse.”

　　The Rabbit Butler’s rebuttal was stuck for a moment, and he stared with red eyes, looking very conflicted.

　　Wen Bei: “Well, let’s change the floor to tiles first.”

　　The land in the back garden is all loose, which becomes sticky when it gets wet.

　　It costs five thousand crystals to convert the entire back garden to tiled floors, the same price as unlocking a hotel room.

　　After the silver-white tiles were laid, the back garden no longer looked too simple, it even had a sense of cool and high-end feeling.

　　The hot spring located in the center is a bit monotonous, so Wen Bei used the same trick and bought some green plants in the discount area. Among them was a cluster of well-grown bamboo, which was placed next to the hot spring with a screen to serve as a concealment.

　　There were also some ferns. Wen Bei took a fancy to their shade-loving characteristics and bought more than a dozen pots at once and placed them in the corner of the back garden.

　　Because he likes green plants, there are always some vibrant plants in the corners of the Hotel.

　　The plants in the Hotel are all ordinary plants purchased from the mall and are not contaminated in any way.

　　Bo Ji was once very interested in these plants. He wanted to take them away for research and was even willing to pay a large price for them.

　　The things in the mall are essentially not consumer goods that the Hotel can provide. Wen Bei didn’t think about selling them, so he gave him a potted tangerine.

　　Unexpectedly, Bo Ji just took it outside in high spirits and wanted to show it to Xuan Yi who was building a factory nearby. The pot of tangerines was contaminated instantly after it was taken outside.

　　The leaves turned yellow and the small fruits grew mouths, biting the surrounding living things like Venus flytraps.

　　Bo Ji was bitten without paying attention. If the Hotel hadn’t been there, his pollution level might have gotten out of control.

　　The incident made him realize more clearly that all miracles would only happen in the Hotel.

　　If you want to build a bathhouse, the most important thing is of course the bathing supplies.

　　Wen Bei bought a towel cabinet and placed it at the entrance of the garden, and also bought standing and sitting baths to ensure that everyone could dry their bodies before entering the hot spring.

　　Although the hot spring has its own cleansing system, he still prepared some things very well.

　　Free shower gel and shampoo are available in the shower.

　　The Rabbit Butler commented: “You humans are really weird.”

　　It hated the feeling of wet fur and naturally couldn’t understand why humans love to take a bath. Sometimes it rolls in the bath sand to make its fur fluffy.

　　Wen Bei said calmly: “After the apocalypse, water resources have become precious, and being able to take a shower has become a luxury. It is common in the slums of the base for people who cannot take a shower for a month after the apocalypse.”

　　Almost everyone there smells bad. They do the cheapest jobs and their clothes are soaked with sweat at the end of the day.

　　”Is this also what you saw when you went to the base this time?” The Rabbit Butler tilted his head.

　　”Yeah.” Wen Bei opened the towel cabinet and checked the towels. “But humans are civilized creatures and don’t like to tolerate dirt. If the store can provide a comfortable bathing environment, it will definitely be very popular.”

　　The hotel rooms have bathtubs, but there may be few travelers who can grab a room, as most of them sleep in hourly rooms.

　　Twelve hours of hourly room use is enough for these polluters who come here to spend a night in the Hotel.

　These polluters cannot take a shower. If the bathhouse were to open, Wen Bei believed the traffic would be no less than that of the restaurant.

　　The sitting bath and standing bath are placed together, one facing right and the other facing left, each with twelve positions.

　　Next to the towel cabinet is a vending machine that sells bath balls.

　　A bath ball can change the properties of the hot spring for thirty minutes.

　　Wen Bei took a quick look and found that there were only two types of bath balls that had been unlocked- rose flavoured bath ball and milk flavoured bath ball.

　　The rest of the bath balls have various names, such as sea salt caramel flavoured bath ball, gardenia flavoured bath ball, aloe flavoured bath ball…

　　These are all things to be unlocked, just like recipes, and require appropriate filth as raw materials to unlock.

　　Wen Bei took a milk flavoured bath ball in his hand. The surface of the bath ball was a bit rough. Unlike the light pink rose flavoured bath ball mixed with rose petals, it was white all over.

　　The Rabbit Butler reminded: “There is still half an hour left before the time you and Huang Qian agreed to visit. Don’t you want to try it yourself before the hot spring opens to guests?”

　　Wen Bei: “Hmm.”

　　He glanced at Qiu Tin, not very willing.

　　Qiu Tin laughed softly: “We are all men, what are you afraid of?”

　　There were a few flashes of light in his red eyes, as if he was provoking or seducing something, and an undercurrent was surging.

　　Wen Bei narrowed his eyes: “Provocation doesn’t work on me, get out.”

　　He gave the order without mercy, tilting his chin slightly to signal him to leave.

　　Like a noble cat high above everyone else.

　　Qiu Tin really wants to catch someone by the tail and bully.

　　Qiu Tin stared at him for a long time, with a strange aura on his body. Just when the Rabbit Butler was about to be scared to death, he moved.

　　It seems like he is really not interested in hot springs.

　　There was not much fluctuation in his eyes as he slowly retreated out of the back garden.

　　The Rabbit Butler was puzzled: “Your relationship has become really good.”

　　”……” Wen Bei was silent for a moment, then he unceremoniously carried it out, “You get out too.”

　　The Rabbit Butler struggled in vain and was thrown out.

　　Wen Bei is not a fool. He could see that the Rabbit Butler has always wanted him to take a hot spring bath.

　　Butler Rabbit mentioned the hot spring a long time ago, and the first thing he wanted to do after unlocking it was to try it himself.

　　Even though the Rabbit Butler hated water, it still wanted to stay and watch him take a bath.

　　All signs indicate that this hot spring may trigger some unexpected situations for him.

　　Wen Bei didn’t rush to take a bath. He looked around the back garden and finally confirmed one thing – there were no rules for the hot spring.

　　There are rules for any event hall in the Hotel.

　　The restaurant, hourly rooms, KTV and rooms all have their own rules.

　　The hot spring, however, is not bound by any conditions.

　　Wen Bei felt a little weird in his heart. He stirred the hot spring water with his fingertips and threw the milk bath ball in.

　　In an instant, the bath ball melted, and the entire hot spring turned milky white, exuding a strong sweet milky smell.

　　Wen Bei tried to soak his body in the water, and almost the moment he touched the water, his body sent out a signal of extreme comfort. He couldn’t help but sigh, and a slight blush appeared on his face under the influence of the heat.

　　In an unnoticed corner, a small mass of black substance was quietly flowing towards the hot spring.
