"Hello, I’m the owner of Jianglin Hotel. You can call me Boss Chu.
I’ll take you to get your hotel’s Identity Card, which will be your proof of identity here in the hotel. You’ll need it to buy things, open a shop, etc."
The group exchanged glances and eventually decided to follow Chu Jiangyue.
It was a stroke of luck that they emerged from Jianglin Hotel’s emergency passage.
They hadn’t expected that at the end of that mysterious passage, there would be such a magical hotel.
They weren’t blind; they saw the vast flood outside Jianglin Hotel. They were amazed and felt as if they’d struck it lucky.
Only when Chu Jiangyue appeared did they realize they’d miraculously avoided the flood and ended up in a hotel.
"Boss Chu, does the hotel have some special tool that keeps the flood out?"
You have to know, places where people can still live outside can’t be described as merely damp anymore.
It’s like having a bucket of cold water dumped on you.
"This is the hotel’s unique protective shield, ensuring that Jianglin Hotel isn’t affected by external factors.
The general store has life jackets and boats. If you want to go out, you can buy a set then."
Chu Jiangyue casually mentioned, without elaborating, and soon led the group to Jianglin Hotel’s lobby.
"That’s the butler of Jianglin Hotel. If you have any issues in the future, you can find him."
Chu Jiangyue introduced Chu Jiangyang to the group.
Chu Jiangyang gave them a slight nod, acknowledging them.
"To get the Identity Card, you need to recharge first.
Put your items on the tray, click confirm, and your items will be exchanged into hotel-specific currency."
Chu Jiangyue explained the recharging process to them, "The hotel also has guest rooms, and you can stay here when you’re ready."
Listening to Chu Jiangyue’s introduction, the group was thoroughly tempted.
"Boss Chu, we’ll exchange!"
With that, they took out a handful of Crystal Cores from their backpacks, in various colors.
As Chu Jiangyue looked at the Crystal Cores on the tray, her gaze towards the group subtly changed.
It seems they’re a rather capable group of survivors, which improved Chu Jiangyue’s mood.
"Whoever places the items, the exchanged currency will enter that person’s account. You can discuss it among yourselves."
To avoid unnecessary disputes, Chu Jiangyue preferred to state potential issues upfront.
Sure enough, upon hearing Chu Jiangyue’s words, the person who just generously placed a pile of Crystal Cores into the Exchange Device quietly took some back.
"Boss Chu, I want to exchange these."
Chu Jiangyue didn’t concern herself with their distribution, as long as she only needed to make sure the guest’s account had enough balance for payment.
"Alright, just click confirm."
Chu Jiangyue nodded without making any further gestures.
"The remaining guest rooms are listed here. Take a look and choose one. Currently, there are no single rooms; most are shared."
"We’ll take this 5-room with a living room and bathroom. How much is the daily rent?"
"40 silver coins per day. You can split it, so it’s 8 silver coins each per day."
"No problem! For the five of us, splitting the cost makes it really cheap."
Compared to the base rent, this price is indeed low.
After confirming the room type, Chu Jiangyue efficiently registered them for a room in Building C with 5 rooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
"All set. You just have to swipe your Identity Card at the sensor area by the door when entering."
