Chapter 65: Ice Cold Season 07: A New Guest
The system couldn't help but give a thumbs up: [Host, you really don't miss any opportunity to show off your presence! ]
Jiang Runian shrugged and disagreed.
She runs an inn and makes money from the guests, so of course she would promote it as much as possible.
Cheng Hua and Li Cheng were naturally 100% happy with it, especially Cheng Hua. Even if Jiang Runian didn't say it, she would have found an opportunity to take the initiative to fight for it - she had been here for more than a year, and this was the first time she saw someone who could subdue a leader-level BOSS, so of course she wanted to experience it!
The next day, Jiang Ruunian asked Liu Yinshuang to take the car to Longcheng.
Jiang Runian has to maintain a high profile in front of Long Cheng and won't go unless he is invited^ ^
Amid the exclamations of old customers, the Frost Dragon Mother spread her wings and took off on the spot, causing waves to ripple on the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.
"Boss Jiang, when can we get a car to Longcheng?"
"I second the motion! I've heard of Dragon City for a long time!"
"I heard that the monsters over there can drown us with just a spit!"
“That’s too much…”
After asking Li Chengchenghua yesterday, Jiang Runian recognized the advanced level of Longcheng.
Regardless of the output level, the fact that Longcheng is the first city in the eighth district to be auctioned means it is already invincible.
To take a city photo, as the name suggests, is to take a photo of a city on the land.
The conditions for bidding for a city are much more stringent than those for towns and bases. Not only do you have to spend 500,000 yuan to buy the city lord's order in the mall, but you also have to ensure that all political, economic, military, water and electricity infrastructure are up to standard.
Jiang Runian got a headache after hearing this.
Regardless of anything else, this 500,000 yuan alone is enough to keep her in pain for a while.
So, she believed that Dragon City was strong in every aspect - except hotels.
But this is not a big deal. Jiang Runian’s goal is to revitalize Qingshan Inn, not to treat Longcheng as a meal.
The reason why she asked the big ice truck to send two adventure teams today was also for publicity. She secretly stuffed a lot of flyers into Liu Yinshuang's arms, hoping that she could bring back a few new visitors from Longcheng on this trip, and then the snowball would get bigger and bigger... She was so happy.
Jiang Runian was planting herbs by the field, and from time to time he pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside, waiting for Liu Yinshuang to bring back good news.
Finally, the sound of a large ice truck landing was heard outside.
One, two... members of the second team got out of the car.
Jiang Runian: “…”
Is hunting so unsuccessful this time? Zero new customers!
Liu Yinshuang jumped down, her tone a little impatient: "Anian! Captain Cheng lied to you, there is a hot spring in Longcheng Hotel, it's very spacious!"
"I didn't!" Cheng Hua stumbled. "Although we have been staying in the hotel for a long time, we went out on a mission when the cold season started. I really don't know what happened in Dragon City!"
"Our flyers are mainly about food and hot springs. No one reads them when I put them on the notice board. They say things like 'Why go to the suburbs to suffer when you can enjoy life in Dragon City?'" Liu Yinshuang was indignant. "There are quite a few people who like the Frost Dragon Mother, but they keep asking how much they want to spend to buy her. Few people want to take the bus!"
Jiang Ruunian touched his chin.
It seems that this Dragon City has indeed become so rich that it is difficult to manage.
Just when I was feeling frustrated, I saw a small figure jumping down at the end. He was wearing a black hood and half of his cloak was dragging on the ground.
There is a new face, not bad.
"Sir," Jiang Ruonian said with the attitude of a five-star hotel, "are you here for a quick stopover or to stay the night?"
The visitor lowered his voice mysteriously: "...I'm here to see your boss."
Jiang Runian was stunned.
The only new visitor to Longcheng actually came here for her?
Jiang Ruonian played dumb: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
"I heard that your boss can talk to strange beasts and tame bosses?" The man in black took a step closer. "I have something personal to do. I want to make a deal with her."
Jiang Ruunian took a step back calmly.
She first raised her eyes and observed the information above the black-clad man's head.
【? ? ? 】HP:? ? ? /? ? ?
The column for increasing or decreasing benefits is completely empty.
Huh?
Can black robes hide personal information?
Jiang Runian hesitated for a moment, then confessed, "I am the boss you mentioned. Come with me."
The two found a secluded place. The man in black was about to speak when Jiang Runian stopped him: "When discussing a deal, you should have the most basic courtesy." After that, he pointed at her hood.
The man in black was stunned. He pinched the bottom edge of the hood with his right hand and prepared himself mentally for half a minute while trembling. Finally, he took it off.
Under the pitch-black robe is a child's face.
Jiang Runian took the opportunity to observe the information above her head again, which was still a string of question marks.
The little girl frowned, looking very anxious: "My sister... because of some special reasons, she turned into a beast and can't understand what we say, so I want you to go home and help me..."
"You want me to communicate with my sister?"
"Well, I want to know what happened."
"First of all, I'm sorry," Jiang Ruonian sighed, "The alien beasts can understand what I say, but I can't understand what they say, and we can't communicate without obstacles."
"Ah..." The light in the little girl's eyes dimmed instantly.
"Secondly, it is too dangerous to leave the protective shield without permission. I will not agree to such a deal easily."
system:【……】
Host, you know the danger now. Why didn't you tell me about the danger when you rushed out to fight alone before? !
The little girl's eyebrows drooped.
You can see that he is indeed very sad.
Jiang Runian felt a little sorry for such a young child who was wearing adult clothes. He snatched two candied haws and a candy painting from Li Fu and stuffed them into her hands: "What's your name? How old are you?"
"Jiang, Jiang Niao, just call me Niao Niao. I am... ten years old."
After introducing herself, the information above her head suddenly refreshed her name, and her HP was still unknown. This person was different from the people Jiang Runian had met before... No, Sui Yan was the same.
Sui Yan is not an ordinary person, and Jiang Niao is probably not an ordinary person either.
Which ordinary player would encounter a shining chip and a sister turning into a beast?
Jiang Runian was silently calculating the accounts in his heart.
By saving Sui Yan, she gained countless information gaps and a free thug. So what would she get if she helped Jiang Niao?
System: [Host, you are so cruel to such a young child! ]
Jiang Ru Nian concentrated: "Niao Niao, do you have a way to bring your sister to Qingshan Inn?"
"Yes, yes, there is..." Jiang Niao hesitated, "But I may need your help."
"How can I help?"
"Help me tie her up."
“…”
This request was simple. Jiang Runian just needed to let Liu Yinshuang and Bai Yexuan go with her. So far, she had never seen anyone stronger than the senior sister or who could hurt people more painfully than Bai Yexuan.
Before leaving, she specifically instructed them to fly back immediately if they saw something wrong, for fear that Master and Senior Sister might fall into some trap.
*
While the master and the eldest sister were away on a mission, Qingshan Sect held a small meeting.
Li Fu was extremely nervous: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Dragon City won't let us in?"
"It's not that exclusive," Jiang Runian pulled out a piece of paper and drew a simple map on it, "Attribute cuisine, hot springs... these are not rare in Dragon City."
Qingshan Sect suddenly became quiet.
This is worse than not letting them in!
We had been counting on relying on the unique output of Qingshan Inn to grow bigger and stronger. Now, Longcheng has everything!
"But... we have other things," Liu Yinshuang continued, "the hotel's bonus, the second brother's elixir, Elder Yu's equipment... aren't these also rare things?"
Jiang Runian pointed at the center of the map and said, "This is Longcheng, which is about three Mingzhu towns away from us. Longcheng has complete infrastructure, adequate security, and a stable consumer group. Even without our output, it can be self-sufficient and does not need to go to Qingshan Inn for a trip."
Feng Yuechen frowned: "So, Junior Sister means..."
Jiang Ruonian tapped the tip of his pen on the paper and said, "We have to change the way we play. We can't just sit here and wait for customers to come."
Jiang Runian looked at the inn information:
【Inn Information】
Industry: Qingshan Inn
Level: 6 (Famous)
Funding: 276,500 (Richest)
Unlocked: Room service, large farmland, large medicinal field, hot spring...
Experience: 17340/110000
There is still a long experience bar before reaching the seventh-level inn, and the method of relying on the card pool during upgrade to change the status quo is obviously not feasible.
The old customers in the lobby saw Jiang Ruonian's sad face and joked, "What's going on? It's like our boss Jiang is wearing a mask of pain."
"Don't laugh at our An-nian," Li Fu touched her head, "In order to attract customers from Longcheng, An-nian has lost a lot of hair."
"This Dragon City is really arrogant."
“The people in big cities are different from those in our small places.”
"Boss Jiang, why don't you try some activities?"
Hearing the last sentence, Jiang Ruonian's ears moved: "Activities?"
"Yes," the customer was a little surprised, "Have you forgotten? Before the apocalypse, aren't there often crazy Thursdays and food delivery platform wars?"
Jiang Runian: “…”
It's not that she forgot, it's that she simply hasn't experienced it.
Jiang Runian tried his best not to reveal the fact that he was a time traveler, and he asked the old customers: "I was still young at that time, and I didn't have a mom or a dad, so I don't understand... Can you tell me in detail?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face showed heartache.
They only knew that Boss Jiang was indeed young and weak, but they didn't expect there was this layer behind him... Suddenly they felt a desire to protect Boss Jiang!
They told her every detail of the "business war" before the end of the world, including but not limited to secretly watering the other party's fortune tree, fighting with the other party's boss, and sending people to tear up the other party's promotional posters...
Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years.
This afternoon, Jiang Runian felt that he still had a lot to learn...
