After ending the conversation, Chen Ping further instructed, "Now, please take us to the room."

The waitress responded politely: "Of course, sir, please follow me."

Guided by the waitress, the three quickly arrived at the door of their room on the fifth floor. She took out a temporary key card, respectfully handed it to Chen Ping, and explained in detail: "Guest, this is a temporary key card. Please note that the validity period of this key card is the same as your ten-day suite reservation. It will automatically expire after ten days."

Chen Ping took the key card, nodded slightly to indicate that he understood and thanked her for the reminder: "Understood, see you tomorrow then."

The waitress offered her best wishes again: "I hope you have a pleasant stay." Then, she politely left, making sure Chen Ping and Gabriel could quietly go to their room to rest.

Chen Ping glanced at the room number, 520? Not bad, it's an auspicious room number.

After pushing open the door, he led Gabriel into the suite. After closing the door, he looked around and couldn't help but nod in approval. This most expensive suite was indeed worth the money, with luxurious decoration and complete facilities.

Gabriel walked straight to the comfortable sofa, sat down, took out the snacks she had bought earlier, placed them on the coffee table, and began to leisurely enjoy them.

Seeing this, Chen Ping shook his head helplessly. At their level of strength, it didn't matter whether they ate or not, since they wouldn't get hungry anyway. Eating every day was just a habit for Chen Ping.

Chen Ping: "Gabrielle, do you want to take a shower?"

Gabriel replied vaguely, "Okay, you go wash first, I'll wash later."

Chen Ping nodded, then walked towards the shower room. A few minutes later, he came out drying his hair. It felt so good; a hot shower was definitely the best way to relax.

Gabrielle stared blankly at Chen Ping as he walked out of the shower. She was used to him being shirtless, but why did he take a shower so quickly? It felt like only a minute or two had passed.

Gabrielle chewed her cheeks with a bewildered expression, staring blankly at Chen Ping. Clearly, she didn't understand how fast men shower.

Chen Ping quickly noticed Gabriel's unusual behavior. Seeing Gabriel staring straight at him, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Gabriel, snapping out of her reverie, asked curiously, "You finished your bath so quickly?"

Chen Ping nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm all done washing. You can go take a shower now."

Gabriel nodded as if she understood, then got up and walked towards the bathroom. She also wanted to try to see if she could finish showering as quickly as Chen Ping.

Upon entering the bathroom, Gabriel quickly undressed within half a minute and turned on the shower. At first, she did try to imitate Chen Ping's speed and finish showering quickly; however, as she wiped away the foam here and scrubbed away the dirt there, much time slipped away unnoticed.

By the time Gabriel finally finished taking a bath, almost an hour had passed.

Stepping out of the bathroom with her hair still damp, Gabriel went straight to Chen Ping, who was waiting there, and habitually asked him to help dry her hair. Ever since those days on the Li family's merchant ship, she had gotten used to Chen Ping drying her hair for her.

Gabriel blinked, realizing with a start that she had taken a long time showering. Yet, compared to a full bath, it had actually been quite fast. She was puzzled by Chen Ping's quick showering method: "If you don't scrub and wash, can it even be called a shower?"

As Chen Ping dried her hair, he said, "All done."

Gabriel shook her head slightly and yawned. Her time on the Li family's merchant ship had made her used to going to bed early, and now she clearly felt sleepy.

Chen Ping tenderly picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. After turning off the lights, the two drifted off to sleep together.

......

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains, and Chen Ping and Gabrielle sat in the same spot as the day before, enjoying breakfast. They raved about the delicious seafood porridge.

After finishing his meal, Chen Ping looked at the waitress beside him and asked with a smile, "By the way, I'd like to buy a nautical chart. Do you know where I can buy one?"

The waitress replied, "Regarding sea charts, I know that the Thread General Store sells them. Although that store mainly deals in various magical scrolls and papers, they also sell sea charts, and the quality is quite good. There is another store that also sells sea charts, but the prices are higher and the selection is not complete, which seems to be intentional."

Chen Ping nodded slightly after hearing this and decided to go to the spiral general store. Out of politeness, he asked, "By the way, it's not really appropriate to keep calling you waiter. Could you tell me your name?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Ah, sir, my name is Luo Feier, you can just call me Feier."

Chen Ping nodded upon hearing this, and then introduced himself: "Fei'er, my name is Chen Ping, you can just call me Chen Ping. This is Gabriel."

Upon hearing this, Fei'er waved her hand and said nervously, "This, this is absolutely not acceptable. How can Fei'er address you by your name so casually? That would be extremely impolite."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "No, how did this come to a question of politeness? You've already asked us to call you by your name, so it's only fair that you call us by our names in return, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Fei'er scratched her cheek. It seemed to make sense, but she felt it would be impolite to call you by your name directly. How about this: "Um, how about I call you Brother Chen Ping, and Sister Gabriel, what do you think? Is that okay?"

Chen Ping: "Okay, then Fei'er, take us to that spiral general store now."

Fei'er nodded happily and said, "Okay, Brother Chen Ping, but I need to go and report first, otherwise I'll be considered absent without leave."

Seeing Chen Ping nod, Luo Feier immediately ran away and returned a few minutes later.

Luo Feier: "Alright, Brother Chen Ping, I've already reported to the supervisor. Now I'll take you to buy the nautical charts."

The three of them quickly left the hotel and, led by Lofiel, headed towards the Thread General Store.

On the way, Chen Ping asked Luo Feier, "Feier, how long have you been living in Luocheng?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feier thought for a while before replying, "Yes, I've lived on Luo Island since I was a child, but I came to Luo City 100 years ago, so more than 100 years have passed."

Then, Luo Feier asked Chen Ping curiously, "Brother Chen Ping, is this your first time visiting Snail Island with Sister Gabriel?"

Chen Ping and Gabriel nodded together. Chen Ping smiled and said, "Yes, this is indeed our first time here."
