Chapter 7
I thought I wouldn't survive today, but I never expected that not only was my life saved, but I also have a place to stay now.
Ji Mingyuan had too many questions about this hotel, but as someone who had been struggling in the apocalypse for five years, he knew best that sometimes he had to put away his curiosity appropriately.
He now has no other place to stay except the hotel.
We definitely can’t go back to the original base.
His guild is the largest guild in the base and has the most elite mercenary group. At the same time, his every move is always watched by everyone.
Now those old guys in the base must all know that they have polluted past 95.
From any perspective, it is not appropriate to go back now.
Ji Mingyuan narrowed his completely black right eye, and one could vaguely see substance flowing through the black blood vessels winding down from the end of his eye.
Wen Bei did not urge him, but handed over the pen and waited quietly.
The rabbit butler stood aside, watching with eager eyes, and still had not retracted the lethal cane, as if the tip of the cane would pierce Ji Mingyuan's throat in the next second as long as Ji Mingyuan shook his head.
Ji Mingyuan picked up the contract and looked at it carefully. The terms were written very simply, and the job position was security guard.
He had no objection to the contract, so under Wen Bei's expectant gaze, he picked up the pen and slowly and firmly signed his name.
At the moment the last stroke was written, a golden light flashed on the name.
Ji Mingyuan, who was originally wary of the hotel, suddenly felt an inexplicable bond between himself and the hotel, which made his originally tense nerves relax a little.
Wen Bei put away the contract and nodded approvingly: "You are so young and you are doing the job that others are fifty years old. In the future, you will be the security captain of the hotel."
A necessary skill for a boss - painting a rosy picture.
Ji Mingyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and chose to take a bite of the pie.
The rabbit housekeeper's eyes grew even redder with jealousy.
Wen Bei applauded the new employee, his expression suddenly becoming serious. "Your duty is to maintain order in the hotel, but since we're short-staffed right now, you might need to do more work."
Ji Mingyuan nodded.
Wen Bei immediately pointed to the garden outside the hotel and said, "Then please clear all the weeds in the garden today."
The front garden was overgrown with weeds and had many unsightly stones. As the facade of the hotel, he still hoped it would be clean and tidy.
Ji Mingyuan had no complaints. As a former mercenary and current security captain, this kind of job was like a retirement life for him.
He walked outside, and the rabbit housekeeper immediately followed him secretly.
It intends to supervise his work and will complain immediately if he dares to be lazy.
Wen Bei didn't care about the undercurrents between the new and old employees. He went straight to the second floor to check the new employees' rooms.
Sure enough, after signing the new employee, a new employee room next to him was unlocked.
As the boss, Wen Bei can enter all unlocked rooms. He pushed the door open and found that this room was slightly smaller than his own room. The furniture inside was still simple, with only a bed, a chair and a bedside table.
He blinked, thinking optimistically that things would get better.
Just as he was looking at the room, Ji Mingyuan's voice came from downstairs.
Cleaned up so quickly?
Wen Bei immediately went downstairs to check, and sure enough, all the weeds and stones in the yard had disappeared, revealing the yellow ground.
The new employee is indeed very capable.
Wen Bei smiled and said, "Thank you."
At the same time, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Hidden task: Clean up the garden.]
[Status: Completed.]
【Congratulations on winning a chance to decorate your garden for free. Please choose your favorite decoration plan.】
Several pictures appeared in his field of vision like a projection.
The first picture shows clusters of roses, the bright red color flooding the entire garden of the hotel like a red sea.
The second picture shows a bunch of gray thorns, twisted and winding together, and the sharp thorns on it make people feel nervous.
The third picture looks the most normal. There is a beautiful cobblestone path in the center of the garden, with some pink and white flowers on both sides and some vibrant green leaves as embellishment.
Wen Bei did not send Ji Mingyuan away. After briefly explaining the situation, he directly chose the third picture.
As a new employee of the hotel, he needs to gradually accept all the outrageous events happening in the hotel.
Then, as they watched, rustling sounds began to emerge from the garden soil. First, the first bud emerged from the soil, followed by more and more buds and new leaves.
After only about ten minutes, the garden was filled with these beautiful little flowers and the cobblestone path was automatically generated.
Before Wen Bei had time to appreciate it for a while, he suddenly heard a lot of noise.
【Oh my, I'm so hungry. 】
【I really want to eat meat! 】
[We need to fertilize! We need to grow! We need to become more beautiful!]
Wen Bei's expression suddenly became strange. He looked down at these beautiful, seemingly harmless pink and white flowers.
Their chirping sounds still surround my ears.
He looked at Ji Mingyuan, who was still a little stunned, and asked, "Did you hear that?"
Ji Mingyuan came back to his senses: "Hmm?"
It seems that only he can hear this sound.
Wen Bei held his chin with his hand as if he had a headache.
I just took advantage of the hotel's loophole, but I didn't expect to be cheated by the hotel again.
The food for these pink and white flowers turned out to be meat. His hotel hadn't even officially opened yet, and there were already so many new mouths to feed.
Wen Bei could only appease them in his heart and continue to use his skills in painting big pictures.
It directly made a group of little flowers tremble in joy.
The little flowers were very sensible. Although they were really hungry, they still chose to believe that their new owner would bring a lot of nutrients in the future.
When they are happy, the chirping and chatting becomes louder.
【What's this? 】
[Why can't I take root here? 】
[There is a terrifying atmosphere.]
Suddenly, the slight trembling of a cluster of pink and white flowers in the corner of the garden caught Wen Bei's attention.
He walked over: [What's wrong?]
【There's something scary down there! 】
The flower closest to him shyly touched the back of his hand and then gave an answer.
under?
Wen Bei's gaze narrowed, and he also noticed the unusual rockery in the yard.
Ji Mingyuan came over and explained, "The housekeeper didn't let me throw away this stone. I thought it was pretty, so I kept it."
This rockery stone does not look out of place among a large patch of pink and white flowers, so Wen Bei didn't pay much attention to it at first.
Just when he was about to touch the rockery further, the rabbit housekeeper suddenly screamed.
Even Ji Mingyuan, who was still looking down at the flowers, glanced over.
"Ah! The sun has set!"
The rabbit housekeeper suddenly appeared from nowhere, jumping around crazily and staring with red eyes: "It's time to rest, Master, you must be exhausted after a whole day today."
It stared at Wen Bei without blinking, and its three-lobed beak moved.
A poor way to change the subject.
Wen Bei lowered his eyes, then smiled after a moment: "Yeah."
...
What exactly was hidden in that rockery stone was something the rabbit housekeeper didn't want him to know.
Late at night, Wen Bei slowly opened his eyes from the bed. He stared at the ceiling with his clear cat eyes for a long time before finally sitting up.
The fair white feet slipped into the shoes casually, and as light as a cat, they slipped into the darkness silently and walked into the garden.
The pink and white flowers in the garden bloomed with all their might in the moonlight. When they saw their beloved owner coming, they swayed slightly to greet him.
Wen Bei raised a finger and curled the corners of his mouth to signal them to be quiet. He was like an elf that suddenly visited in the dark night, with his black hair hanging down softly, a mixture of a bit of frightening and smart beauty, but there was no smile in his eyes.
He knew that there was an unknown danger beneath this rockery.
But as the owner of the hotel, what he hates most is...things that are out of his control.
Turning a blind eye is the stupidest escape.
The more the Rabbit Butler doesn't want him to know, the more he needs to figure it out himself.
Wen Bei groped for the rockery stone. The uneven surface scratched his palms so much that it hurt, but he still carefully rubbed it inch by inch.
Finally finding a slightly different spot in the corner, he pressed down hard.
The sound of gears turning was heard, and a secret passage leading downwards appeared directly under the rockery.
It's the basement of this hotel.
I've never heard that this hotel has a basement...
The secret passage was so dark that no light could be seen. Only the moonlight from above could make out the nearest few steps.
Wen Bei walked down tentatively. Just after taking two steps, a black mist suddenly enveloped him, as cold as an executioner's blade pressed against his skin.
The black fog left no room for him to move and pulled him down roughly.
The reckless collision caught Wen Bei off guard. In that instant, the fastest decision he made was to raise his hands to protect his fragile neck, but he was unable to prevent his elbows and other parts of his body from being injured. He groaned in pain and clenched his teeth. His clothes became even more messy due to the pulling of the black mist.
Like a bird whose wings were ruthlessly broken, it is unable to struggle, helpless and pitiful. However, this fragile beauty can attract the attention of hunters.
At the last moment before he fell heavily to the ground, he saw a tall figure, so he used up his last bit of strength to lean towards him, avoiding the final fall on the hard concrete ground.
But the terrifying cold air that came from the contact made him feel regretful instantly.
It would be better to just fall to the ground.
The shadowy figure stretched out a pair of hands, slowly and seductively climbing up his slender neck, and chuckled with interest: "Hmm? Are you the new owner of the hotel?"
Wen Bei's breathing suddenly became rapid, because the pair of large hands that were restraining him suddenly began to exert force, with a cold breath, as if they wanted to crush his bones directly.
