Chapter 1
Twelve o'clock in the morning.
The only sound on the deserted street was the barking of nearby wild cats.
After Wen Bei counted the last batch of goods, he checked them carefully again before closing the shop and leaving.
Working overtime until so late is a common occurrence for him.
He dragged his slightly tired body towards home.
He deliberately rented a house nearby. Although the infrastructure was inconvenient, at least he could save some money on taxis.
The accident happened at this moment.
An out-of-control car sped past. Wen Bei's eyes widened as he fell heavily to the ground due to the huge impact.
The first feeling was shock, and the pain came later.
At the moment of collision, there was a clear sound of bones breaking, and a strong feeling of discomfort from the internal organs after the impact.
Wen Bei thought calmly that he might be dying.
The car finally stopped after hitting someone. The driver, who was driving while fatigued, was so frightened that he rushed down and knelt on the ground: "Brother, are you okay?!"
Wen Bei glanced at him sideways and said, "Nonsense."
He used all his strength to pull out his cell phone from his pocket, but his blood-stained fingers were shaking so much that he couldn't slide away from the screen several times.
The driver burst into tears and said, "You want to call the emergency number? I'll help you. Don't worry, I won't run away."
Wen Bei could only control his head to shake slightly.
The driver was shaking even more than him: "Call the police?"
Wen Bei still shook his head. He finally unlocked his phone and searched for the software with strong willpower.
Driver: "I see, you must want to format your phone!"
Wen Bei didn't respond, and he finally opened what he wanted to see - the deposit balance.
The above is six zeros away from his first stage goal, which can be achieved by earning a few more months' salary.
No matter how unwilling he was, the anger that had been hanging over him finally dissipated.
Before Wen Bei closed his eyes for the last time, he stubbornly used his middle finger to close the banking software.
...
“Wake up!”
The noisy sound continued to linger in his ears, and Wen Bei finally opened his eyes in annoyance.
What caught my eye was a furry rabbit face.
“…”
I must still be dreaming.
Wen Bei chose to continue closing his eyes.
The rabbit butler stomped on him in dissatisfaction.
Wen Bei opened his eyes again in pain, and this time he saw more clearly that the rabbit could not only speak, but was also wearing a pink suit and vest and holding a cane with a rose-shaped top.
The rabbit was very satisfied: "Hello, I am the rabbit housekeeper."
Wen Bei didn't answer it, but looked down at his clothes.
It’s still the orange work clothes from Seagull Convenience Store. It’s not ugly, but it’s just not good-looking.
The rabbit housekeeper was curious: "What are you looking at?"
Wen Beiyou said: "Look at me and see if I am wearing a blue and white dress and then turn into Alice."
Rabbit Butler: "...You are already dead."
Wenbei was not surprised by the bombshell.
His extremely calm attitude aroused the rabbit butler's curiosity. He smiled like a villain and said, "I sensed that you had a terrifying obsession before your death, which is why you were summoned here. As long as you sign a contract with the hotel, you will have a chance to fulfill your obsession."
Wenbei remained unmoved.
The rabbit butler felt that he must be holding on, even though he had such a strong obsession at that time.
Faced with such stubborn humans, it knows that threats are the most effective.
Rabbit Butler: "Haha, let me see what your obsession is."
Is it the one you love but can't get? Or a loved one you can't let go of? Or perhaps an unfulfilled dream?
As long as you grasp the weak spot...
The rabbit butler replayed the scene of his death.
Then deathly silence spread from this space.
Wen Bei blinked: "What's wrong?"
The rabbit housekeeper didn't expect that this person's final obsession was money.
And this is irreversible.
After all, Wen Bei had already been declared dead in the original world. Even if he was given another life, the money he had worked so hard to save would still not come back.
The rabbit housekeeper looked at the human in front of him who had lost the will to live and was hesitant to speak.
The next second, her attitude changed, she stretched out her furry paws, hugged his thighs and cried loudly: "Master! Please sign a contract with the hotel. The hotel has been abandoned for hundreds of years and no one is taking care of it!!"
There was no trace of the arrogance and domineering look just now.
Wen Bei: “Hehe.”
Seeing that he was unmoved, the rabbit butler tried desperately to promote himself and the parallel world hotel that sounded very suspicious.
It talked a lot, and finally drooped its ears in exhaustion: "You can ask me any questions you have."
Wen Bei showed the attitude of an old office worker, and his beautiful cat eyes showed pickyness: "When signing a contract with the hotel, does it include food and accommodation, five social insurances and one housing fund, and what is the basic salary?"
Rabbit Butler: “…”
Is that where the focus should be?
After a moment of silence, it spoke without any hope: "As long as the contract is signed, you are the boss, no need to worry about these things."
Wen Bei's eyes lit up: "Sign!"
...
The rabbit housekeeper didn't expect that after all the trouble he had, he was able to abduct, oh no, persuade this human with just one sentence.
But after being teleported to the hotel, this human remained silent.
The rabbit steward's eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth twisted into a strange grin: "Welcome to the polluted apocalypse."
But its words did not intimidate the new boss in front of it at all.
Wen Bei looked at the extremely dilapidated hotel in front of him, with the garden full of weeds, and his brows furrowed little by little.
He never thought that he would be deceived one day.
Being your own boss means... no one pays you a salary.
You can tell at first glance that this hotel can't make money.
Wen Bei turned his head to look outside the hotel. He saw a group of terrifying vines that almost blocked his vision. There were strange creatures everywhere, indicating that he was no longer in his original world, but had come to what Rabbit had said - the polluted apocalypse.
A featherless bird with bulging eyes was perched nearby.
Its exoskeleton was clearly visible, with only a little pink flesh hanging on the bones, and no internal organs visible. It should be dead according to common sense, but it was still screaming hoarsely.
"Hello! Hello!"
Or a parrot that can mimic speech.
Wen Bei stared at the strange bird, worried that it would fly into the hotel.
The parrot pecked at the remaining flesh on its bones, then suddenly turned its head and looked straight in Wen Bei's direction. It opened its mouth and stuck out its purple tongue: "Hello! Hello!"
Wen Bei took a step back calmly, planning his escape route in his mind.
The next second, the vines it was resting on suddenly rose up and strangled it, followed by the sound of bones breaking.
The parrot uttered a final hello and then disappeared from Wen Bei's sight forever.
And those strange vines returned to their motionless state.
It doesn't look like it just swallowed a skeleton bird.
After witnessing the demise of life in just a moment, Wen Bei gained a more concrete understanding of this world.
The rabbit housekeeper jumped out, propping himself up on his two hind paws and hopping over in a very cartoonish manner. "Don't worry, the hotel is immune to all filth."
Wen Bei grasped the key point: "Filth?"
The rabbit steward explained, "It refers to organisms or objects with a pollution level of 100. This is a term invented by humans in this world."
"This is the fifth year of the apocalypse. Five years have completely relegated humanity from the top of the food chain to the bottom. Ordinary humans can only live in the base to slow down their contamination."
Wen Bei: "What about the extraordinary humans?"
Rabbit Butler: "That's the polluter. When their pollution value reaches fifty or above, they will gain superpowers. The strength of their superpowers is linked to their pollution value. However, when the pollution value rises to ninety, there is a risk of becoming filthy."
When the rabbit housekeeper said this, a look that was half sigh and half mockery flashed in his eyes: "Polluters are both heroes to the collective interests of humanity, but also... unknown hidden dangers."
What stupid and contradictory creatures! Perhaps extinction is the best outcome for this race.
Wen Bei frowned.
He could sense that the rabbit housekeeper was taking a skeptical attitude towards human survival.
But he is not, and cannot.
What keeps a hotel in business? Of course, the people staying there.
In short, it definitely couldn't be the messy and dirty stuff outside.
He wants to make money.
Every human being is his potential consumer.
Customers are God!
So Wen Bei slapped the rabbit housekeeper on the head, signaling him not to gloat over other people's misfortunes anymore.
Rabbit Butler: Okay, you are noble.
It turned its back to Wen Bei angrily, and the villainous aura on its body disappeared, leaving only stupidity.
Wen Bei felt a bit of a headache: "So, apart from this shabby hotel, as a new boss, I don't have any benefits?"
The rabbit butler turned around and looked at him with red eyes: "There is also a novice gift package."
Wen Bei followed its instructions and found the system screen that only he could see after entering the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
There are two sections shown above: shopping mall and employment.
The top also shows the turnover.
It's a dismal 0 at the moment.
After opening the novice gift package, five objects fell out of it, namely three sets of spare clothes, a free employee unlocking card, a black dagger with a cold glow, and finally a backpack of carrots.
What a shabby newbie gift pack.
Wen Bei had a blank expression on his face, and finally felt that the only valuable thing was the employee card.
So he opened the recruitment page, wanting to carefully select a reliable employee to serve him.
It shows that every employee who signs a contract with him will unconditionally obey the boss's instructions during his tenure without worrying about betrayal.
The existence of the hotel can protect the owner's interests and life safety to the greatest extent.
Every employee in the hiring section is gray and waiting to be unlocked. There are lizardmen who can breathe fire and serve as security guards, scientific researchers who come from the interstellar world and can drive mechas, and chefs who have won the MasterChef title and can cook any dish. There is a wide variety of them, and the only thing they have in common is that they are all very expensive.
The hiring price above is a staggering amount of crystals.
And crystals are the only currency recognized in this world.
Wen Bei glanced at his balance of zero and decided to make good use of this employee unlocking card.
While he was concentrating on selecting employees, he heard rustling sounds under his feet.
He looked down and saw the rabbit who suddenly looked shy.
Wen Bei had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the rabbit butler's next words ruined all his careful planning.
The rabbit housekeeper put his little paw to his mouth and coughed, his eyes wandering: "That employee unlocking card has been used to unlock me."
It blinked its big, twinkling eyes, trying to get away with it.
"Hate it, isn't having her enough?"
