Chapter 43
Wen Bei returned to his room, which was still as clean and tidy as when he left.
He began to calculate the money the hotel had earned recently. The bills were automatically generated by the hotel and were clear at a glance.
In just a few days while he was away, the hotel had actually earned 50,000 crystals.
Wen Bei's eyes lit up, and all the slight sleepiness disappeared at once. He quickly called the rabbit housekeeper.
When Butler Rabbit heard he wanted to unlock the remaining four rooms on the third floor, his whiskers trembled. "It'll cost twenty thousand crystals. Are you sure?"
It had thought that Wen Bei, who loved money so much, would be very careful with his money, but it didn't expect him to be so generous. It seemed that he was very concerned about restoring the glory of the hotel.
Thinking of this, the rabbit housekeeper felt happy again.
Wen Bei gave it a strange look and said, "Of course I'm sure."
He always kept in mind the saying that you can't catch a wolf without risking your child.
The greater the cost, the more you will gain in the end.
What's more, it only costs 5,000 crystals to unlock a room, and the cost can be recovered by anyone staying there for one night.
Without saying a word, the rabbit butler brought up the upgrade page and helped click on the unlock button.
The more than 50,000 crystals were instantly reduced by half, leaving more than 30,000.
Wen Bei's expression showed a little pain: "Let's buy some new furniture."
He clicked on the mall, quickly ignored a batch of pink furniture with cat paws, and instead set his sights on a beautiful retro screen embroidered with a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
Of course, what attracted him more was not just the appearance, but the two conspicuous red words below: discount.
The rabbit butler came over to take a look: "But this thing doesn't seem to fit in with the style of the hotel room."
Wen Bei thought for a moment: "Maybe you have heard of theme rooms?"
The rabbit housekeeper was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
Wen Bei smiled with satisfaction: "In the same hotel, sometimes not every room has to be exactly the same; they can have different themes."
He followed the screen and clicked on the discount area, and discovered a new world.
There are discounts in the mall every day. Sometimes they are useless junk, and sometimes they are very cost-effective.
Today's discounted items are from the same series and are all antiques.
The phoenix screen only costs fifty crystals, a rosewood carved couch only costs one hundred crystals, and a holly glazed pot and vase only costs ten crystals.
Wen Bei bought it without saying a word. It feels so good to have money in hand.
He decorated the last room on the third floor with a retro theme, with a screen dividing the room into two parts, and bought a large mahogany carved bed.
The big bed and the small bed are separated. The small bed is a soft couch and is placed next to the bookcase. A desk is placed next to the small bed, which is equipped with brushes and ink grinders. You can practice calligraphy at any time to cultivate your sentiments. When you are tired of writing, you can just lie on the soft couch and rest.
Wen Bei only needs to operate on the system operating interface to directly drop furniture into the last room, even changing the angle and moving the position, and can easily arrange it until he is satisfied.
He looked at the holly-glazed vase and couldn't help but click on the details to take a closer look. He found that the vase was actually quite old, and the price was only ten crystals.
For hotels, historical value is meaningless, and these antiques are often the easiest to be sold at a low price in shopping malls.
Wen Bei picked and chose, and bought a dark blue flat-mouthed vase to place at the entrance of the room. It was decorated with gold-painted patterns of flowers, birds, and animals. Worried that the room would be a bit monotonous, he also picked out a few ink paintings to hang on the wall. Although there were no signatures on them, they were all painted in ink and color, and looked lifelike.
Of course, a bath in such a room cannot be equipped with an ordinary modern bathtub. Wen Bei bought a bathtub that can easily accommodate an adult. Next to the bathtub are flower petals and soap, as well as incense to calm the mind and relieve fatigue.
After several renovations, what was originally a room with a modern atmosphere suddenly became a room that could only be found in the homes of ancient aristocrats.
Wen Bei was very satisfied with his transformation. He spent a total of 500 crystals and got a brand new themed room.
The rabbit housekeeper praised: "It's really beautiful."
Wen Bei curled his lips into a smile, his eyes flickering with light: "The price of this room has been raised to 6,000 crystals a day."
The rabbit housekeeper was not surprised at all. He shook his ears and asked, "Do you want to continue upgrading other things?"
Wen Bei blinked: "Is there anything else that can be upgraded?"
The rabbit housekeeper became interested: "That's a lot! The restaurant's takeout area has reached the upgrade standard. It's just a small shop now, but after the upgrade it will become a convenience store!"
Wen Bei was indeed tempted: "How many crystals?"
Rabbit Butler: "Five thousand crystals."
Wen Bei clicked on the upgrade without much hesitation.
Although the items in the sales area are priced at a fixed low price, small amounts add up to a lot. More importantly, the items in the sales area are updated after 24 hours, there is no cost involved, and there is a fixed quantity there every day.
After the upgrade, Wen Bei followed the Rabbit Butler downstairs to check.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening and the restaurant was only open until half past eight, so when I walked into the restaurant area, it was empty.
He saw the newly upgraded sales area at a glance.
It has changed from a small corner of the restaurant to a store directly inside the restaurant. The restaurant is a little dark, but the sales area is still brightly lit. There are three layers of shelves inside and outside for snacks and bread, and one layer of shelves is full of daily necessities, including the most basic facial tissues, tissues and toilet paper, and even family planning products.
There are also two very conspicuous red vending machines, which are full of drinks, one for cold drinks and the other for hot drinks. You just need to put two crystals in and then choose a drink, and it will fall out by itself.
The soft breads on the shelves all looked fresh.
There are everything from raisin toast, hot dog buns, and pork floss buns.
All the food above was unbranded. Wen Bei opened a bag of potato chips and ate them, and they were surprisingly cucumber flavored.
The rabbit butler looked up and asked, "Do you have carrot flavor?"
Wen Bei: “No.”
The rabbit housekeeper was very puzzled: "You humans are really weird. You are willing to come up with a flavor for cucumbers, but not for carrots."
Wen Bei thought about the boiled carrots he had eaten for several meals when he first arrived at this hotel, and his face turned ugly again: "Aren't you a rabbit? Shouldn't rabbits like to eat timothy grass more?"
The rabbit butler gave him a disdainful look: "A cute cartoon rabbit like me, of course I have to have some cute settings."
Wenbei: “…”
No, wake up, take off this pink suit and vest, and you will be just an ordinary big meat rabbit, which can be seen everywhere in the market, and you still have a donkey face.
Wen Bei finally retained the last bit of tenderness and did not speak the truth in his heart.
He took out two crystals from his pocket and threw them into the hot drink vending machine, choosing a can of hot red bean soup. He didn't like red beans, but it could be used to warm his hands.
Wen Bei warmed his hands for a while before handing the red bean soup to the rabbit housekeeper: "Do you feel it's a bit cold tonight?"
The rabbit housekeeper had a lot of fur and didn't feel anything. He shook his head and drank the red bean soup with his nimble paws.
The temperature was normal during the day, but it seemed to drop several degrees at night.
Thinking of the capricious weather after the end of the world, Wenbei suddenly became a little worried about a sharp drop in temperature.
He wanted to go back to his room and hide in the warm bed to sleep, so he packed up the half-eaten potato chips and prepared to leave.
The rabbit housekeeper couldn't sleep yet because the people in the KTV area were still singing in the private room. After drinking the red bean soup given by Wen Bei, it jumped over to watch.
The rabbit butler doesn't need to sleep, which is very convenient.
Because the sound insulation is very good, no sound can be transmitted even if the microphone is turned up to the maximum.
So KTV can stay open until two in the morning.
After the rabbit butler left, Wen Bei planned to leave without much precautions. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the restaurant, he bumped into a man dressed in black.
The man only had one eye due to the distortion caused by pollution, and he was blinking frantically out of guilt.
The one-eyed man suddenly relaxed after seeing Wen Bei and what he had in his hand: "Brother, are you here for that too?"
It seems that he didn't recognize him as the hotel owner.
Wen Bei raised an eyebrow: "Which one is that?"
The one-eyed man gave me a look that said, "You don't need to lie." "Of course it's theft."
Wenbei: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then looked down and saw the potato chips in his hand, so he nodded in agreement.
The one-eyed man said, "I just arrived at this hotel yesterday and stayed in an hourly room. When my time was up, that damn Ji Mingyuan asked me to leave."
Wen Bei: "So?"
The one-eyed man sneered, "The stuff here is so amazing, I can just smuggle it back to the base and sell it. Then I won't have to risk my life leaving the base to do missions anymore, right?"
Wen Bei: "You are so smart. Why didn't I think of this method? I only thought of stealing food."
The one-eyed man glanced at Wen Bei and felt elated when he saw how handsome he was. He started to have some evil thoughts: "Which polluter did you follow out on this mission with? He doesn't even let you have enough food. You might as well follow me. I guarantee you'll have everything you need, and I won't let you leave the base."
After he said that, he wanted to move his hand forward and touch Wen Bei's delicate face, but was avoided.
There was no warmth in Wen Bei's eyes, but his words were a little timid: "If you want to steal, you better do it quickly, otherwise it will be bad if someone notices you.
The one-eyed man obviously knew Ji Mingyuan and was very afraid of him. Upon hearing this, he withdrew his hand and did not dare to waste any more time. He walked towards the retail area while talking nonsense.
He was stunned when he saw the drastically changed retail area, and then his eyes flashed with greed: "I haven't been here for just one day, and this hotel is really amazing. It has suddenly turned into so many things."
Wen Bei smiled: "Yeah, it's amazing."
He was very curious about what the hotel would do in the face of such theft, so he didn't expose it and just followed him quietly, observing his every move.
One-Eye regretted that the sack he brought was not big enough. He simply swept down everything on the shelf without thinking twice. The moment he saw the vending machine, he wanted the drinks inside.
Unfortunately, the vending machine required a crystal to drop food, so no matter how hard he smashed it twice, there was no damage.
The one-eyed man was afraid that the noise would be too loud and attract attention, so he gave up after smashing it twice. Instead, he filled his sack with other retail items, picked it up and ran out.
Nothing happened until he ran out of the retail area. Just as he passed the restaurant's cashier counter, the cashier counter suddenly issued a reminder: [You haven't paid yet, please pay by yourself.]
The card machine at the cash register lit up, indicating that payment should be made here.
The one-eyed man was startled by the sudden sound and didn't dare to move for a long time.
Wen Bei walked over and nothing happened.
He grew bolder and swore, "Go pay the bill."
After saying that, he planned to run away while no one was around. Just as he was about to reach out to touch the door handle of the restaurant, an iron gate suddenly fell down from the door, blocking his way. He stepped back suddenly, and there was an iron railing behind him.
Several iron bars appeared from nowhere in front and behind, locking him in, turning it into a simple prison for temporary confinement.
The one-eyed man stood inside with a look of horror on his face. The first thing he wanted to do was to use his special ability to escape. His special ability was to burrow into the ground, but no matter how hard he tried, he didn't succeed.
He could only stretch out his hands and try to squeeze through the gap in the iron railings, but after only a few fingers he got stuck and collapsed: "Help me! What should I do!?"
He shouted at Wen Bei.
Wen Bei frowned in some confusion, but the corners of his mouth lifted slightly: "Yeah, what can we do?"
