"Farm? Do I still have to go into farming mode?" Shi Jiu looked at the farm pattern and felt a little itchy in his heart.

She used to like playing farming games, but she got bored of them after a while. She is an old player of survival games. When she sees others playing online, she feels like she is playing the same games.

There's nothing I can do. It's her fault for being a bad player. She died after playing for just a few days. It was such a terrible gaming experience.

Shi Jiu recalled the various dramas he had experienced when playing those games, and couldn't help but shed a few bitter tears for himself, "Alas, dress-up games are still suitable for me. I can dress up the girls beautifully and feel much better."

Back to reality, she exited the mall and returned to the main page, where she saw a farm logo on the right. After clicking on it, she discovered that there was only one piece of land on a large grassland.

"What can be planted on a piece of land?" Shi Jiu discovered that this farm really only had a piece of land, but the background scenery was quite beautiful, with picturesque mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers blooming. Unfortunately, it was just a large background, and no matter how he poked it, it didn't respond. The same went for the grass, and he couldn't pull out the weeds.

She went back to the mall to look at the things she needed to open the store. A lot of things had just been given out in the raffle, so she looked to see if there was anything else she could add.

"Now, in addition to instant noodles and water, we also need to buy some disposable toiletries. After all, the standard rooms really don't have these things. Silver Koi also issued merchandise exchange coupons, 50 of them, which can solve the problem of having no money."

Fang Shijiu thought to himself. "Room cards currently require five. My own room doesn't need one, as only I can enter."

Just when she was immersed in product planning, a message popped up in the mall.

"Limited time offer: Originally priced at 999 crystal cores, this water and electricity bill will never be in arrears. 10% off, now only 99. Hurry and buy now, dear!"

Huh? Shi Jiu was startled. Why was this system still doing this? He clicked on it to take a look.

Are you still worried about your daily utilities? Are you still anxious about not being able to afford your hotel's utilities? Now's a great opportunity to eliminate the worries of utilities and run a worry-free business!

Wow, I just exclaimed wow, this advertisement really captures the essence.

Shi Jiu was surprised by this. Huh? Something is wrong. Does this place still need water and electricity bills?

There was no notice about this after the hotel was set up, and she thought it was free.

There was a small text in the lower left corner of the message. She brought the tablet close to her eyes and tried hard to read the text clearly.

"The hotel's daily... utility bill... is... 1,000 crystal cores?!"

Shi Jiu finally saw the line of words clearly, "So many? I really haven't even seen a single hair of the crystal core yet!"

Shi Jiu was angry. She felt like she would be a nobody if she didn't take advantage of this opportunity, but she really had no money!

There is also a line of text below reminding that there are only a few hours left in the event.

"Bah, so insidious!" Shi Jiu thought angrily. This was forcing her to open the store to welcome customers tonight. It was the middle of the night and she was still in the zombie center area. Where would the customers come from?

Shi Jiu struggled for half a second, but decided to place an order and open the store as soon as possible.

Otherwise, she doesn't know what will happen if she is heavily in debt due to water and electricity. Who knows if the system will ask her to fight zombies to pay off her debts? She doesn't want to live such a life. She doesn't even dare to watch zombie movies.

4 room cards, 10 disposable toiletries, 7 instant noodles and 8 bottles of mineral water were exchanged to make up the total of 10.

Although the commodity exchange voucher is level 0, it does not mean that it can be exchanged for commodities at a 1:1 ratio. For example, a water dispenser that requires 20 crystal cores requires 20 exchange vouchers.

Although it was a bit expensive, you can't eat instant noodles without water, so you exchanged it for a water dispenser.

After all these operations, she only had one redemption voucher left in her hand.

"It's not durable at all!" Shi Jiu muttered.

When she placed the water dispenser next to the vending machine, she was stunned. It was not the small and exquisite one with a bucket of water on it as Shi Jiu had imagined.

Instead, there are ten faucets in a row close to the wall, with half of them being hot water and half being cold water. It looks very impressive, demonstrating that the hotel is not short of water.

When Shi Jiu saw this so-called water dispenser, the first thing he thought of was, "I must open the shop tonight to attract customers and buy the water and electricity discounts!"

She had already anticipated how much this would increase her water bill! This was the end of the world!

She then spent some time putting everything on the shelves and arranging the items. Shi Jiu stood up and stretched, "Just give it a name and we can open the shop."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Jiu decided to name it Sifang Hotel, as it has a good meaning to welcome travelers from all over the world.

[Ding! Naming successful, plaque hung, store opened successfully, level 0 mission completed, mission reward: a bag of lettuce seeds.]

The farm land can be used to grow things! Shi Jiu first thought of that lonely piece of land. After all, there were no farm-related items for sale in the mall. He didn't expect that it was hidden in the mission rewards.

[Ding! Level 1 Mission: Serving Ten Customers. Status: Incomplete.]

Shi Jiu looked at the time. After all the hard work, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

The initial electronic map could not be seen because 001 was in hibernation, so she had no idea what the surrounding situation was like or whether there were any humans around.

As for the background of the entire world, she only knew that it was a doomsday crisis and there were zombies. She was completely in the dark about the rest.

She looked at the door, which was still a broken wooden door. Although nothing would happen in the store, it looked very unconvincing.

Shi Jiu hoped to change it immediately after the upgrade, as it would affect his image.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement at the door. It was already past ten o'clock, and she still hadn't attracted any customers, so she decided to go to bed.

The task of earning crystal cores needs to be accelerated. It's not just the water and electricity bills that need to be paid. After all, only crystal cores can wake 001 from hibernation, and she also needs to rely on crystal cores to get home.

Shi Jiu walked to the door and carefully opened the wooden door, leaving a crack.

It was pitch black outside, with no street lights or anything. The silence was a bit eerie, and from time to time the roars of unknown wild beasts could be heard in the distance, which made Shi Jiu feel uneasy.

When she ran over just now, she had her eyes closed and didn't see any zombies.

She had never even watched many horror movies before, and at most read some suspense novels, but even so, she would have nightmares at night and wake up in the middle of the night scared herself half to death. Now this situation is really going to kill her.

Just when Shi Jiu was still preparing himself mentally, a scream rang out, followed by various roars and shouts.

There's someone! Shi Jiu's eyes lit up, but it was pitch black outside, and she couldn't see anything outside because she had closed the door.

So she hardened her heart and opened the door wide. After all, she was invincible in the hotel, so maybe... there was a chance that the zombies would avoid this place...

Shi Jiu prayed in her heart that the zombies would not come in. Although she was physically invincible in the hotel, she did not want to see or have direct contact with them!

Hearing the roars and the sounds of heavy breathing getting closer and closer, Shi Jiu hurried back behind the counter.

Will bright lights alone not be enough to attract customers? Is the sign outside lit at night?

Just when Shi Jiu was daydreaming, there was a noise at the door.

At this time, the members of the seventh team from Longhua Base felt that they were really unlucky. Not only did they encounter a group of zombies in the middle of the night, but the idiot team member also left the team without permission and provoked strange beasts. After they fled, many zombies and strange beasts followed them.

"Ah, what should I do, there are so many zombies!!!" Zhou Yan held an iron stick in his hand. Unlike the other team members, he did not swing it vigorously. Instead, he swung it around randomly. He didn't hit many zombies and almost injured his teammates by mistake.

"Zhou Yan! No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak! Just shut up and fight the zombies! We haven't settled the score for provoking the zombies yet!"

Zhao Jin was the team member who was almost accidentally injured by her. He was almost angry to death watching her actions. It was such a late hour and she was still seeking death.

"You!" Zhou Yan felt aggrieved after hearing this and quietly hid in the inner circle.

At present, the entire team has formed an encirclement, with Captain Chen Hua in the front and Deputy Captain Li Xia at the rear. There are team members surrounding them on both sides, so the inner circle is a relatively safe place.

"Brother Sun, what should we do?" After hiding in the inner circle, Zhou Yan asked the people around him in a low voice.

Sun He was also the one who ran to the inner circle to avoid the zombies, "Let's take a look first."

He looked at the team with indifference, and when necessary...

The original intention of forming an encirclement is to reduce the pressure on team members facing zombies, but it may require the team to be united to be effective.

The encirclement narrowed, and the team members in the outer circle faced greater pressure from the zombies, with a steady stream of zombies rushing towards them.

There were only two psychics in their team, and how could they, with their families, stop to fight them?

"There seems to be light ahead!" Li Xia threw a handful of dirt behind him to slow down the zombies and monsters, while looking ahead.

Suddenly a beam of light was particularly eye-catching in the darkness, and the sign above was glowing!

Captain Chen Hua also saw it. It was really unreasonable to have such a light in the center of the already empty city. Could it be another strange phenomenon?

As he was thinking, his hands moved quickly as he set fire to the strange beast that rushed to the side, making it howl. The beast's screams further stimulated the large group of zombies behind it.

He and Li Xia are the only ones with special abilities in the team, the rest are ordinary people. Even though their skills have been greatly improved after this period of baptism and they are holding iron rods, they can easily be dragged to death here according to the current situation.

Looking at the light approaching, Chen Hua gritted his teeth and ordered, "Everyone, run to the light ahead!"

Everyone was already exhausted and didn't think too much. Upon hearing the captain's words, they desperately raised their weapons, violently pushed away the zombies or monsters around them, and forced their way out.

The formation was no longer an encirclement. Chen Hua and Li Xia were at the rear. The orange flames shone brightly in the gray night.

Shi Jiu was behind the counter, looking at the guests who rushed into the hotel in a somewhat disheveled state, and he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a sweet smile.

"Welcome to the Sifang Hotel. Would you like to stay overnight or stay here?"
