At this moment, the Thousand-Faced Demon had completely lost his previous confidence. He never expected to fall into the trap of the game he himself had set. He looked completely obedient and begging for mercy.

After accepting the contract mark from the Thousand-Faced Demon, Su Luo took out a stack of ghost money from his pocket. "This is your salary. As for this restaurant..."

“Pick a few of the smarter ones to stay. The others who don’t want to stay can leave. As for those who want to stay, you and the gourmet can give them instructions.”

"Tell them that as long as they work well, they will have the opportunity to earn ghost money, and there will be extra rewards when the restaurant is upgraded."

Although she only contracted with Thousand-Faced Ghost, it doesn't mean she can't use other small fry. Anyway, she's just doing a job, so what difference does it make who she works for? She might as well rearrange the restaurant according to her preferences.

At the same time, a series of electronic system voices exploded wildly in my mind.

'Ding! Congratulations, host, for clearing the two-star eerie dungeon "Delicious Restaurant" within 24 hours. You have received the basic reward for this dungeon: a delicious recipe (legend has it that this recipe was personally developed by a great figure and is highly favored by the eerie).'

'Host detected clearing the game within 24 hours, receiving a special reward: In all bizarre rule dungeons below level two in the Bizarre World, you can use the safe house to escape in dangerous situations (Note: Each usable dungeon can only be used once per entry).'

'Ding! Congratulations, host. You have at least one contracted monster. Monster inventory +1, total: 2. Special reward: Skill Enhancement Potion (Note: This potion can temporarily boost skill abilities for ten minutes. There is a twelve-hour interval between uses.)'

'Ding! The 24-hour period for issuing the task has ended. The timed task has been completed. Congratulations, host! The area of ​​your four warehouses has doubled, your cabin has been upgraded (you've obtained a super-large sunroom), and you've received a free intelligent robot (which has been delivered to your cabin).'

'Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully contracted your second strange creature. Strange creature storage capacity increased by 1.'

'Monster Name: Thousand-Faced Monster, Host can name it himself: (***)'

'Ability: A thousand faces, a thousand deceptions; miraculous disguises.'

'Current affinity between the creature and the host: 1 (Note: Given the low affinity between the creature and the host, using the creature's ability may fail.)'

Very good. Although some of the special rewards are so-so, they're better than nothing. The most crucial one is the one in the safe house. So, it seems she can practically roam freely in any one-star weird dungeon.

Unfortunately, the safe house is quite a distance from the delicious restaurant, which is a bit of a hassle.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a bad idea to fence off this entire area and use it as her private space...

"As for the two of you..."

Su Luo's gaze lingered on the two ghosts, especially the newly contracted Thousand-Faced Ghost. "From now on, you'll be called Painted Skin."

"I'm easy to talk to. I'll do things for money, so I'll naturally give you two some preferential treatment."

"Meals and accommodation included, no problem."

Meals and accommodation included?

Painted Skin was somewhat dissatisfied, thinking to himself, "Is this all? My Delicious Restaurant can do it too. Why bother making a contract with you? Could it be that she only has that little bit of ghost money left, and she just used it all up to show off?"

You think you're easy to talk to? You're shameless! Listen to what you just said to me. Is that what you call being easy to talk to?

On the other hand, the food critic doesn't care at all. With food and lodging provided, what is this if not a life of leisure? Oh dear, he's found the right person! Where can you find such a stable "career position"?

"You're not satisfied?"

Noticing the expression on the painted skin, Su Luo pretended to be sincere and said, "The environment where I live is quite nice."

The environment is quite nice?

I don't believe in painted skin a thousand times.

With the supernatural rampant these days, ordinary humans can barely protect themselves, so where can they find a decent place with food and lodging? Even if you have other supernatural beings backing you up, can the territory they offer be as high-level as their two-star dungeon territory?

I may think this way, but I can't say it out loud.

"Satisfied? How could I not be satisfied?" At this point, there was no other option but to be satisfied. At this moment, the painted skin felt as if he had been tricked by mere humans.

The anger even spilled over onto the gourmets.

Damn it, it's all his fault. If it weren't for the Gourmet, he wouldn't have backed down so quickly. Why would a one-star monster like you be so eager to sign a contract with a human?

"Okay, as long as you're satisfied."

"It's getting late, I need to go back and rest. You two, would you like to go see your dorm?"

The food critic nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, but Hua Pi hesitated for a moment. Then, he put on an attitude of working overtime and said with a hint of regret, "I have something to do at the restaurant, so I'll have to go for now."

As he spoke, he looked at the food critic very politely and said, "It's enough that the food critic has taken care of it for me."

"You do... love your work," Su Luo said meaningfully, then swaggered away from the delicious restaurant with the gourmet.

The two went there and returned the same way. The journey wasn't too long, but it wouldn't do to do it too many times, even though she had left a few luxury cars from before the apocalypse in the warehouse.

But in the current situation, those luxury cars are completely useless, and might even run over someone and cause them to die, leaving them dirty and smelly.

Perhaps it would be good to have a bus or something similar for transportation. One bus can carry a lot of people, with low cost and low expenses, and it's a workhorse on the bus.

Coincidentally, Su Luo knew of a strange instance, the main body of which happened to be a bus. If he could get his hands on it, the problem would be solved.

If you're lucky, you might even be able to add to her collection of strange items.

Back at the cabin, Su Luo stretched comfortably and casually lay down on the beanbag chair in the entrance hall, while the gourmet who followed behind was completely dumbfounded.

Holy crap, this isn't a dormitory, it's practically a monster's paradise!

The small house is at least one or two hundred square meters, and there is even an upstairs. It is fully equipped with appliances, electricity and water, various green plants, and pet cats and dogs!

There was even an intelligent robot diligently cleaning, even though he had never seen such a luxurious room before.

It was even more magnificent than the haunted house where his three-star cousin lived!

"Your dorm is in the left corridor, the fourth door. You can choose any room you want," Su Luo said with a slightly relaxed expression, resting with her eyes closed.

That's the advantage of arriving early. In the dormitory, you have to arrive early to choose your bed and arrive late to close the windows and doors.

The food critic was surprised, delighted, and a little apprehensive after hearing this.

Sure enough, he was overthinking it.

A dorm is a dorm, and the eldest's room is the eldest's room, but with this as a foundation, even the worst dorm should be manageable...

A few seconds later, a burst of excited shouts erupted from the warehouse. The gourmet scrambled out of the warehouse, looking at Su Luo with eyes full of surprise, so excited that he could hardly utter a complete sentence.

"Boss, are you sure those rooms are dormitories?!"
