When they all got out of the car, the business vehicle that appeared for navigation services disappeared right on the spot.
Those who didn’t know the reason thought that there were so many Space Ability Users among them.
It was only later that they found out it was because the hotel navigation had been activated.
"Hey, why did you leave! Did you bring us here just to abandon us?"
Zhu Lanlan started acting up again.
However, this time no one paid attention to her.
Lu Hua’an was of decent character, and before entering Jianglin Hotel, Song Chengjun gave a reminder.
Already aware of Chu Jiangyue’s exceptional skills from before, Lu Hua’an took Song Chengjun’s advice seriously and immediately took a few obedient students to hunt zombies.
Although most zombies near Jianglin Hotel had been cleared, it was still possible to occasionally find one or two left behind.
Returning to Jianglin Hotel, Chu Jiangyue fully relaxed; this was where she was meant to be.
The group of teachers and students who wanted to stay at Jianglin Hotel had to go out again to find things or kill zombies, so Chu Jiangyue didn’t hurry to wait for them at Building 2 and went straight to her cabin to freshen up.
When she came out again, an hour had already passed.
She changed into a clean short skirt and boots, curled her hair into a wavy style, looking like a refined and stylish girl.
When she left the cabin and arrived at Building 2, many people were already waiting for her.
When Chu Jiangyue went out, she wore a temperature control suit similar to the men like Shen Zhigui, with her hair tied into a bun.
Now suddenly dressed in an exquisite dress with a carefully styled hairdo, the teachers and students were astonished as if witnessing a magical transformation.
"Is this... the boss sister?"
With a face free of makeup and lips naturally rosy, was this beauty even possible in the human world?
Even Zhu Lanlan couldn’t help but stare, and when she snapped back to reality, only jealousy remained.
"Sorry to keep you waiting so long."
Seeing people waiting for her, Chu Jiangyue felt a bit embarrassed. She thought they would be out for a long time, not expecting them to return so quickly.
"No worries, no worries, we just got back ourselves. Boss sister, you’re so beautiful!"
The girl looked at Chu Jiangyue with eyes sparkling like they carried stars.
"Thank you, you’re beautiful too."
Even though a bit grimy from not having groomed for a while, Chu Jiangyue could tell the girl was probably well taken care of by her family, with some baby fat still visible after all this time.
"Line up, there aren’t many rooms; first come, first served."
Although having a good impression of the girl, Chu Jiangyue had no intention of giving her any special treatment.
Those who wanted to stay at Jianglin Hotel quickly ran over to occupy the front rows, while those aiming for the base were not in such a rush.
If not for Song Chengjun mentioning that an Identity Card was necessary even at the base, they might not have bothered to get one.
Zhu Lanlan was one of them.
Jealous of Chu Jiangyue’s looks and leisure life, she was unwilling to spend at the hotel and contribute to Chu Jiangyue’s revenue.
However, Chu Jiangyue had no knowledge of this since she wouldn’t pay unnecessary attention to irrelevant people.
Little Fox’s lack of response meant these people were merely extras in its script.
The girl ran quickly toward Chu Jiangyue and finally secured the second spot, with the first being Lu Hua’an.
"This is the Exchange Device, just place the items you want to exchange on the tray."
Following the advice, Lu Hua’an placed the jewelry he found and the Zombie Crystal Cores on the tray.
[Detected low-purity metal*2, jadeite*2, Level 1 Zombie Crystal Core*20, can be exchanged for 50 silver coins. Confirm to exchange? Press yes to confirm, no to cancel.]
Without hesitation, Lu Hua’an pressed yes, and the next moment he received his Identity Card and a balance of 50 silver coins.
silver coins were neither too much nor too little, sufficient to support his stay at Jianglin Hotel for a while.
"Could you please give me a single room?"
"There are no ordinary single rooms left, only luxurious single rooms are available, 2 silver coins per day. How many days would you like to stay?"
"10 days."
If possible, Lu Hua’an wanted to find his relatives, not knowing how they were doing after all these days.
"20 silver coins, please place your Identity Card here to pay."
Each time a new guest arrived, the operation needed to be explained again, and Chu Jiangyue started to feel a bit weary.
She wondered if she could hire some staff.
Lu Hua’an, holding his Identity Card, glanced slightly at it and followed Chu Jiangyue’s instructions to swipe the card for payment.
"All set, your room number is 601. Over here is the elevator; just swipe your card and it will automatically take you to the corresponding floor. Find your room and swipe your card to enter."
Lu Hua’an nodded to indicate he understood.
"Boss sister! These are my items for exchange."
The girl smiled at Chu Jiangyue, taking out quite a few things from her backpack.
Compared, however, Lu Hua’an’s exchange value was still larger.
Through the hotel guest list, Chu Jiangyue learned the girl’s name was Shang Yue.
At the moment Shang Yue received the Identity Card, her eyes lit up.
"Boss sister, I’ll also stay for 20 days."
Of course, Chu Jiangyue quickly assisted her with the check-in procedure, and Shang Yue’s 20 silver coins were spent, her balance instantly dropping to zero.
Though a tinge of heartache flashed in her eyes, she did not want to compromise on board and lodging.
Finally, all 56 rooms were gradually booked, and those still wanting to stay at Jianglin Hotel let out a collective sigh.
However, they had no choice but to get their Identity Cards first and wait for Song Chengjun to take them to the B City Safety Base.
After handling these matters with the teachers and students, Chu Jiangyue finally had some free time, opened her panel, and started checking the rewards for completing the Zombie Crystal Core task.
[Task: Please complete the Zombie Crystal Core collection mission (235/100), completed
Task Rewards: Overachieved task - Mango Sapling*1, Management Robot*1, Experience Points +1000]
[Current Hotel Level: 3 (7150/10000)]
Upon seeing the management robot, Chu Jiangyue’s eyes lit up, just what she needed right when she was tired and wanted some help.
She desired an employee, and here it was.
Chu Jiangyue returned to her cabin and retrieved the robot from the system package.
Looking at the robot in front of her, indistinguishable from a human, Chu Jiangyue found herself deep in thought.
"Serial Number 018 Management Robot at your service, please name me, Master."
This magnetic voice, was it really something a robot could possess?
However, Chu Jiangyue just thought to herself, "Chu Jiangyang."
Since it’s her employee, it should naturally share her surname.
"Name successfully loaded, initiating... Master!"
"No, no, just call me Boss; ’Master’ feels awkward."
This wasn’t some fantasy world where the master-servant contract era prevailed.
"Alright, Boss."
Chu Jiangyue was satisfied.
"Our office lobby hasn’t been set up yet, please find some time to arrange that.
Also..."
Chu Jiangyue began assigning tasks to Chu Jiangyang.
