"Yiyi, stop it."
Although Zheng Wen’an was reprimanding Liu Yiyi, Chu Jiangyue could still detect a greasy tone in his voice.
"I’m not causing trouble! Brother Wen An, you can’t like her!"
Liu Yiyi always considered Zheng Wen’an her possession and couldn’t stand to see him getting close to any other girls.
"Jiang... Boss Chu, Yiyi is young, please don’t take her words to heart."
"Oh, how old is she?"
"Yiyi just graduated from college this year."
"Oh, college graduate, so she’s 22, four years older than me, I’m just 18 this year."
Chu Jiangyue’s words made Zheng Wen’an’s previous comment about Liu Yiyi being young seem like a joke.
Liu Yiyi’s expression instantly changed. Women dislike discussing their age, especially when there’s someone younger in the group.
And now, Liu Yiyi was obviously stepping on a minefield.
Chu Jiangyue just laughed, at the prime age of 18, any other age pales in comparison.
"I’m sorry, Yiyi has always been pampered at home, if she’s offended you in any way, I apologize on her behalf."
No matter how frustrated Zheng Wen’an felt, he kept an unfazed front to leave a good impression on Chu Jiangyue.
Someone else might not see through Zheng Wen’an’s facade and may even believe him, but unfortunately for him... he was dealing with Chu Jiangyue.
"From Miss Liu’s expression, she seems quite unconvinced, so you can spare the apology."
With that, Chu Jiangyue ignored them, opened her virtual screen, and started pondering the restaurant event.
Little Fox stood on Chu Jiangyue’s shoulder, watching as she completed the event flow on the virtual screen, her ice-blue eyes sparkling.
"Host, when will this event start?"
’Tomorrow.’
Tonight, once everyone returns, a unified announcement will be made and the event will be held tomorrow during the day.
Although the event hasn’t started yet, Chu Jiangyue already had a lot of things to do.
Since they were hosting an event, it had to be a grand one.
Meanwhile, Jin Churan rode his bicycle alone, quickly leaving Jianglin Hotel’s sight, and before long, he was on the main road.
"Hey, my phone and watch have no signal, there’s no navigation, all I know is my sister is in the south, what if I get lost?"
[Navigating Service from Jianglin Hotel, would you like to spend 500 copper coins to activate navigation service?]
Navigation? Navigation!
Jin Churan was surprised when the Identity Card’s virtual screen suddenly offered this service based on his self-talk.
"Activate it! To H Province, S City Safety Base."
[Navigation service activated, destination H Province, S City Safety Base, you have a transportation tool, no need to choose, planning route for you, this navigation is 1498 kilometers, straight ahead for 1000 meters...]
Jin Churan looked at the kilometers and suddenly blacked out.
Over a thousand kilometers, riding the electric bike the entire way, who knows how long it would take.
However, as of now, he didn’t have a better option.
Fortunately, the electric bike’s rent was cheap, and based on Boss Chu’s information, his sister was not in any immediate danger, so Jin Churan wasn’t too worried.
With the navigation service, Jin Churan rode the electric bike swiftly, and as long as he kept a safe distance, the zombies wouldn’t notice him.
However, it wasn’t long before someone noticed him, riding alone flauntingly on the road.
When he got tired and took a rest somewhere, someone eventually approached him.
Seeing several people suddenly appear, Jin Churan instantly grew vigilant: "What do you want?"
Jin Churan placed his hand behind his back and quietly activated his superpower.
He had Fire Fruit, and if it came to a fight, he might be able to use it to outlast these people.
"Don’t misunderstand, we mean no harm.
We just noticed your electric bike seems a bit special and wanted to ask about it."
Upon hearing them mention the electric bike, Jin Churan hurriedly covered it up.
Although he knew it was already locked and they couldn’t use it without an Identity Card, he instinctively wanted to protect his possessions.
"I rented this from Jianglin Hotel, it’s not mine."
During his stay at Jianglin Hotel, Jin Churan learned that Chu Jiangyue didn’t mind them talking about the place; she actually hoped they would spread the word for her.
That way, she could wait for guests without leaving the hotel.
"Jianglin Hotel?"
"Are you sure? Is there really someone who can run a hotel?"
Even safety bases are struggling, running a hotel seems like wishful thinking.
"Why would I lie to you? What’s in it for me? Gold coins?"
"Gold coins? Is this some kind of game?"
"Of course not, gold coins are the currency at Jianglin Hotel, along with silver coins and copper coins.
Jianglin Hotel is near Prosperity Heights, you should know where that is, right?
Once you get there, you’ll recognize Jianglin Hotel at a glance.
There’s probably still rooms available at Jianglin Hotel, if you go now, you might still get a good spot.
Oh, and try to gather some gold and silver jewelry on your way, you can exchange them for money, and if you have any Zombie Crystal Cores, those can be used too."
Upon hearing Jin Churan’s words, the group exchanged glances, unsure of how credible his words were.
"Why should we believe you?"
"I don’t need your belief; believe it or not."
Jin Churan had a temper too, he kindly informed them of Jianglin Hotel’s existence and yet they doubted him!
If it were someone else, they might not even share a single piece of information with them.
"We’ll buy that electric bike from you."
Their inquiry into Jin Churan was one thing, but their interest in the electric bike was another.
"This is a rental, I can’t sell it to you.
Besides, even if I gave it to you, you wouldn’t be able to use it."
Boss Chu had mentioned that without the Identity Card issued by Jianglin Hotel, nothing could operate the electric bike.
"What do you mean?"
"This is Jianglin Hotel’s electric bike, only their Identity Card can operate it.
Since you’re not guests at Jianglin Hotel, you can’t use it without the Identity Card.
Oh, and even if I gave you my Identity Card, it wouldn’t work because the Identity Card is bound to personal information, making it useless to anyone but the owner."
Such a rookie mistake like Identity Card misuse wouldn’t happen at Jianglin Hotel.
The five looked at each other again, what Jin Churan said was so precise, making it hard not to believe him.
"If you don’t believe me, just head over to Prosperity Heights, I’m sure you can manage."
Jin Churan had just driven out from Jianglin Hotel recently, and if they had cars, they’d reach there within an hour at most.
This time estimate accounted for potential road difficulties or obstacles post-apocalypse.
