Ten minutes later, Building 2 was fully unlocked, and Chu Jiangyue called on everyone brought by Song Chengjun to move from the lobby of Building 1 to the lobby of Building 2.
The two buildings looked no different; both were ten floors, with the same price.
Everyone present was familiar with the process and aligned themselves in an orderly queue.
Faced with such an orderly line, Chu Jiangyue’s movements also unconsciously sped up.
Once everyone had a room to stay in, Chu Jiangyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Boss Chu, for your hard work."
Song Chengjun understood; all one hundred-plus people in the group needed Chu Jiangyue to host them one by one, which was tiring just to stand.
"It’s nothing, the more the merrier; I also need to make money."
Though tired, Chu Jiangyue experienced a bittersweet joy; who doesn’t like making money?
By the way, I just opened a restaurant; if any of you are interested, you can go take a look.
Chu Jiangyue pointed to the restaurant situated past her two-story wooden cottage.
At this point, whether it was Song Chengjun or Ling Feng, both looked surprised.
They were sure that prior to this, there was definitely no restaurant over there.
However, thinking of Building 2, it seemed somewhat acceptable?
"Let’s go have a look."
Indeed, everything displayed by Jianglin Hotel was too magical, and this newly appeared restaurant also piqued their curiosity.
Chu Jiangyue walked ahead, with Song Chengjun and Ling Feng’s group of three following behind.
Entering the restaurant, the first thing they saw were the robot waiters inside.
The store only had pre-made dishes, with no menu options — only the previously unlocked food.
If observant, one would notice that the food shelves sold in Building 1 were now nowhere to be found.
"Just find a seat, sit down, then click the button on the armrest, order from the virtual screen, and swipe for payment; afterwards, a robot will deliver it."
If Chu Jiangyue wanted to eat, she would use her Hotel Lord Token, just like the card-swiping operation.
Except Chu Jiangyue’s Hotel Lord Token was free.
When Song Chengjun and the others saw Chu Jiangyue take out the Hotel Lord Token, their movements paused simultaneously.
But Chu Jiangyue had no intention of explaining to them; perceptive people wouldn’t catch the token for questioning.
Apparently, Song Chengjun’s group was perceptive, and didn’t inquire about Chu Jiangyue’s token; instead, they opened the virtual screen and ordered what they wanted to eat.
Shortly after ordering, a robot waiter arrived with a tray to serve their orders.
Once again seeing the robot waiter, Song Chengjun’s eyes seemed glued to it.
His eyes clearly wrote two words: Want one.
But he knew if Chu Jiangyue didn’t say anything about selling, then it wasn’t for sale.
Neither Chu Jiangyue nor Song Chengjun were inclined to speak much; although Ling Feng wasn’t as quiet as those two, he still didn’t belong to the social butterfly category.
Finally, they finished the meal in a very quiet manner.
After a day of hustling around, Song Chengjun and Ling Feng’s group of three planned to return to their rooms for a wash and rest.
Chu Jiangyue hadn’t reached the end of her work time; after a brief walk to digest, she continued to return to Building 1 to stay vigilant.
By 9 PM, people finally started to come back from outside.
They immediately placed their gains from today on the exchange device.
Some exchanged for a few hundred copper coins, some got hundreds of silver coins, and others earned many gold coins.
Such differences had become habitual for Chu Jiangyue during this period.
Toward 11 PM, Chu Jiangyue saw Shen Zhigui’s group of five return from outside.
This time, however, someone seemed to be injured.
"Good evening, Boss Chu."
Jiang He was carried on Lin Xuyuan’s back; noticing they had returned to Jianglin Hotel, he held onto the last bit of consciousness to greet Chu Jiangyue.
Chu Jiangyue was startled; the injury seemed pretty serious!
"Injured? Is he okay?"
If it was a zombie scratch, that would be a big deal!
Shen Zhigui pursed his lips; they had misjudged things this time, leading to Jiang He’s injury.
"It’s from mutated plants, no risk of infection."
This must be clarified; otherwise, someone might cause trouble.
"Rest assured, host, if he was at risk of mutation, there would be an alarm in the hotel."
Little Fox stood on the counter and also saw the injuries.
Seeing Chu Jiangyue worried, it rushed to reassure her.
"That’s not what I’m asking about; if there was an infection risk, he wouldn’t even be allowed inside."
Chu Jiangyue was confident in the hotel’s security system.
Hearing Chu Jiangyue saying this, Shen Zhigui’s group also breathed a sigh of relief.
Though they knew it was from mutated plants, they couldn’t help but worry.
Now, with Chu Jiangyue’s confirmation, they finally felt at ease.
Injuries were minor issues; they most feared someone being infected with the zombie virus.
"It’s alright, we’ve already found some medication; we’ll clean his wound and apply some medication shortly, and he’ll recover in a few days."
Once they awoke their superpowers, the most notable change was their improved physical constitution.
If it weren’t for this, Shen Zhigui wouldn’t easily let a spatial system like Jiang He venture out daily to hunt zombies.
But fate outsmarted human calculations, and Jiang He still ended up hurt.
"You should go in quickly, don’t delay treatment."
When guests get injured, Chu Jiangyue isn’t able to do much; she hasn’t received a medicine reward so far.
Who knows when she’ll receive a medicine reward.
"Don’t get disheartened, host; you’ll get what you desire!"
Little Fox’s reassuring phrase had been repeated numerous times.
While she might have everything, guests couldn’t have whatever they wanted.
But now that it was off-work time, Chu Jiangyue didn’t dwell on it much, tidied up the counter, and returned to her two-story wooden cottage.
＊
Before dawn, Building 1 and Building 2 started showing signs of activity.
Song Chengjun, in military boots, quietly led his group to tally numbers on the hotel lawn.
Once confirming nobody was left behind, they prepared to depart.
However, this time Ling Feng and his group of three didn’t follow.
Aside from guiding Song Chengjun, they also accepted a separate task.
Though they woke up with Song Chengjun’s group, upon leaving Jianglin Hotel, they split in different directions.
After Song Chengjun and Ling Feng’s groups left, Shen Zhigui’s group of four exited from Building 1.
"Boss, do you think these people are from B City Safety Base?"
Since the apocalypse began, they had stayed in Jianglin Hotel and hadn’t visited other places.
Curious about life conditions in B City Safety Base compared to Jianglin Hotel.
"Do you want to go to the base?"
Shen Zhigui glanced at Lin Xuyuan.
"No way, I would definitely stick with you, boss."
Lin Xuyuan quickly denied.
He never thought about being apart from the boss!
"Bases have their advantages, but we’re better suited for Jianglin Hotel."
Originally top-level, going to a base might involve being controlled or dragged into disputes, which is why Shen Zhigui was reluctant to go to the base.
