After He Lizhou's inn was swept into an infinite flow world, he became an "unregistered resident" in the game. He had no player identity and wasn't a fixed NPC within the game.
<...Role
He Lizhou had never seen her before, so he naturally didn't recognize her. He stood up and greeted her with a smile, but was drowned out by Sheng Ju's surprised voice.
"Sister Meimei!"
The person who came was Bai Yimei.
Bai Yimei walked into the hotel with a smile, "You must be Boss Xiao He."
She smiled gently and lively, seeing He Lizhou's confused face, and explained: "Sheng'er always mentions you, I have heard of you a long time ago."
He Lizhou finally understood who this person was. "It's you! Your craftsmanship is really good. Look at what I'm wearing now."
Bai Yimei naturally recognized her craftsmanship, covered her mouth with her hands, lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "As long as you like it."
She spoke softly, with a special flavor in her voice. "I saw the post on the forum and thought it must be you, so I came to take a look and maybe I can help. I have opened a store before, so I know how busy it is at the beginning."
He Lizhou was very surprised, but he didn't know how to order him around. "Thank you so much for still thinking of us."
Seeing that He Lizhou looked embarrassed, Bai Yimei smiled slightly, "Since you are embarrassed, just treat it as me coming to stay!"
He Lizhou was slightly relieved. It was not that He Lizhou was suspicious of Bai Yimei, but the two of them were not familiar with each other, so he was embarrassed to speak up. Upon hearing this, he immediately took Bai Yimei to the second floor and said, "The second floor used to be occupied by employees. A little guest just came. You can choose any of the other rooms."
There are 60 guest rooms on the second floor, two opposite each other, with 30 rooms on each side. The rooms where people stay are hung with exquisite signs saying "We are the guest".
Bai Yimei smiled and nodded, "Thank you, I like Xiangyang's room, let's take this one."
She pointed and chose the room next to the little girl Li An.
He Lizhou handed Bai Yimei the room card and said, "If you have any questions, just come to our front desk, or call me anytime."
Bai Yimei taped the room card to the door and swiped it open, then turned around and smiled at He Lizhou, "Okay, you've worked hard too, take more rest."
He Lizhou couldn't guess whether Bai Yimei saw something or was just being polite, so he nodded and quickly went downstairs.
After Bai Yimei entered the room, she was not in a hurry to put down the suitcase in her hand. She simply looked around the room, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head slightly.
After all, they are still young and do not do things properly. How can this arrangement meet the upgrade standards for the transit hall?
She simply washed her hands, turned and left her room, and knocked on the door next door.
No one responded, and Bai Yimei was not anxious. She stood quietly by the door. After a while, the door was opened a little and a head popped out.
Li An looked at the person outside the house warily. When he saw that it was a beautiful woman he didn't recognize, the alertness in his eyes did not subside, but became even stronger. "Who are you?"
Bai Yimei lowered her head and smiled softly, looking very gentle and kind, "Can we chat for a moment?"
Li An hesitated, but finally opened the door, "Come in."
The layout was the same as that of his own room. Bai Yimei glanced at it inconspicuously, and then turned his attention back to Xiao Li An. "The clothes you are wearing are not suitable for the dungeon, right? Can I measure your size and make a new one?"
Although Li An is young, he is thoughtful and trusts no one. "How did you think of making clothes for me? We don't even know each other."
Bai Yimei smiled, eyes full of admiration, "I do have other ideas, I want to know your experience in the last dungeon, okay?"
Li An thought for a while, his young face full of solemnity, "Don't hurt me, if I find out, I will call Rong Jia sister."
Bai Yimei's expression remained unchanged, still smiling, "How could that be? I have no grudge against you, why would I harm you?"
Li An finally relaxed a little. Rong Jia said that she would find her some clothes, but Li An didn't really trust this strange place. She had seen the sewing kit that Bai Yimei brought, and when she saw the calluses on her hands, she knew that she was a tailor.
Every piece of clothing can be worn, Li An thought, and the ones made by the tailor should be more fitting.

The promotion of System 09 did bring a lot of guests to He Lizhou, but most of them came from the low-level transit hall, where the staff was mixed. He Lizhou would rather receive the vicious and difficult to deal with people in the high-level hall than let the thieves come in and disrupt the order, so he kept an eye on it for a whole day.
At the end of the day, the rooms on the second floor of the hotel were basically full. He Lizhou was thinking about preparing to start building the staff dormitories. He unfolded the floor plan of the hotel and gently drew a circle on the place he had originally planned.
He Lizhou estimated the number of copies he needed to complete, and compared it with his own number, but it was still a lot short. This was not the concept of converting a separate laundry room on the second floor. This was rebuilding on flat ground. In the normal world, this could be considered an illegal transformation.
He Lizhou was amused by his own idea and had already made up his mind to go and clear the dungeon.
He didn't choose the copy, they were all the same. After choosing, it might not be as simple as the system's automatic arrangement.
After he recovered from his stress, He Lizhou entered a new copy again.
*
"Congratulations to all players for entering the dungeon "Role". Please listen carefully to the background story."
"There may be other universes outside of this universe. Some people may travel between them in some special way, and some people may complete the travel accidentally. So, if you travel to a parallel world, can you still tell which one is your original world..."
"The following is a task for players: Please play your own role carefully, do not let others find out that you have changed, live according to the original script of your identity, and recognize your original world and return to the right world."
"Well, good luck to you all."
Oh, this again.
He Lizhou couldn't help but have a headache. Recently, the system really likes to play this kind of games. The copy "Apartment" is overlapping time and space, "School Rules" is dream time and space, and all kinds of time and space games. Could it be that they can provide ideas for the development of his own hotel?
After the usual voice broadcast, the system made a sound again.
"Now, you will play the role of an explorer who is interested in the supernatural and a little unlucky. You and other like-minded friends met on the Internet and agreed to go to the abandoned villa in the suburbs at 8 o'clock tonight to start your first adventure. Please keep your character in mind."
The room was dark and the curtains were drawn. When He Lizhou first arrived at the copy, he thought it was night. Now, looking at the time, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon. However, there were only four hours left to prepare until the reunion at eight o'clock in the evening.
The chat interface showed that friends from other cities were about to arrive here. Fortunately, the character I played was in the city where the villa was located, so I still had some time to prepare things.
He Lizhou stood up and opened the curtains. The afternoon sun poured into the room. He Lizhou squinted his eyes, and when he calmed down, he couldn't help but shudder.
This bedroom was filled with sculptures of all sizes, some as big as a person's height, and some as small as the size of He Lizhou's little finger joint.
There was a diary lying on the ground, and He Lizhou immediately picked it up and started to read it.
The first sentence in the diary was: "I will not be separated from my babies. I will take them with me wherever I go! They are my good luck charms!"
The handwriting was sloppy and large, revealing the madness and paranoia of its owner.
He Lizhou couldn't help but frown, and when he continued to flip through the pages, he found that there were no words on the papers at the back.
It was getting late, so he took out a backpack and put his diary in it first. Then he looked at the rows of sculptures and hesitated to choose a small one. It was a small wooden doll, which not only matched the character in the diary that "will not be separated from the sculptures", but was also convenient to carry.
After looking around the room again to make sure nothing was missing, He Lizhou picked up his phone and walked out of the house.
The mobile phone was at a similar level of development to the world before he entered the infinite flow game. He Lizhou quickly got the hang of it and first checked his balance.
Fortunately, this person is not poor.
He Lizhou walked into the supermarket, bought some flashlights, ropes and other supplies, and followed the navigation to his apartment in the suburbs.
He took a taxi and only told the driver the exact location. As the sky got darker and the surroundings became more desolate, the driver began to panic and said, "I'll just take you here."
He Lizhou was about to answer when his arm suddenly felt painful as if it was burned. Next to him was his backpack. As if he remembered something, He Lizhou quickly unzipped his backpack and took out his diary.
I saw that new diary content had appeared on the second page, which had no writing on it just now.
"That damn old man next door! He had to come to my house to make a scene just because I didn't help his wife! So what if I helped her! I don't want to waste my time helping her!"
I am so excited...
He Lizhou couldn't help but sigh at this person's selfishness and meanness. No wonder no one paid attention to him when he went downstairs...
So he definitely couldn't let the driver go in this situation, so he cleared his throat and said, "How can that be! Just let me pass!"
The driver originally felt a little guilty, but after hearing what He Lizhou said and seeing that the things in his backpack were exposed because he took out the diary, he became more determined. He opened the car door and forcibly pulled He Lizhou out, then stepped on the accelerator and fled.
He Lizhou was embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do; he could only walk over on his own.
He had just taken a few steps when he heard the sound of an engine behind him again. He Lizhou looked back and found that it was a tall off-road vehicle with a young man wearing sunglasses sitting inside.
When the young man saw He Lizhou, he raised his index finger to the temple of his glasses and said, "Handsome guy, are you going to the villa? I'll give you a ride."
Seeing that the man acted like a playboy, He Lizhou guessed that he was probably the rich second-generation guy among netizens, Xu Zian.
So he raised his chin, looking even more arrogant, "Xu Zian?"
Xu Zian looked at him with a smile and called out his name accurately, "He Lizhou."
This copy automatically replaced the player's name, and He Lizhou continued to nod coldly.
Even He Lizhou could hardly bear it, but Xu Zian didn't mind his behavior and still invited him warmly, "Get in the car. It's on our way."
He Lizhou sat on it. He looked at the navigation and saw that it would take another hour and a half to walk there, so why not be lazy?
Xu Zian hummed a song, started the car, and drove deeper into the cave.
