Chapter 19
(This is the second update. If you click on the latest update directly, you will miss the first update.)
The management simulation game system that Shu Mo is currently bound to has a high degree of freedom and has not given her any mandatory tasks. Shu Mo thought it would just keep playing dead, but unexpectedly a side quest suddenly popped up.
The main plot is easy to guess. For a business simulation game, what else could the main plot be besides business? It's just that it's not reflected in the form of a task.
Shu Mo stared at the last line written "Card Drawing Chance" thoughtfully.
Wow, this game actually has a card pool.
The card-drawing addiction that was fostered in the past by some blind box stores and unscrupulous krypton-forcing games has been stirred up again, making people itchy.
I'm curious what I can draw...
But when he saw the task requirements, Shu Mo calmed down instantly.
500 units of ornamental plants.
In the game, 1 unit is a grid of about 3*3 meters, and 500 units is about 4,500 square meters.
In the past world, a standard playground with a circumference of 400 meters has an area of about 10,000 square meters. This side quest requires Shu Mo to plant about half of the playground's ornamental plants. Compared with the green area of a normal resort hotel, it is actually not that large.
…………but the price is high.
Shu Mo browsed the mall and gave up completely.
One unit of bamboo forest costs 20 points, so 500 units would be 10,000 points, right?
How could she afford it!
What's more, the bamboo forest is not suitable for living and cannot increase consumption. To Shu Mo, it is just a beautiful waste.
She closed the task interface reluctantly.
There is no need to pack luggage in the game. After looking at the guest rooms, Zhao Yu and the others went downstairs to have lunch.
Including Shu Mo and Mo Bai, there were fifteen people having lunch in the hotel at noon, so she had to buy another bench.
As the number of people increases, the demand for restaurants becomes more urgent.
Otherwise, what would it look like if we always had to eat in the hall?
Shu Mo stared at the 3,000-point price of the [Small Restaurant] for a long time with great anguish, and finally announced: "The hotel will be renovated this afternoon, and a new restaurant will be added on the second floor. If you hear any noise in your room, don't panic."
As soon as these words were spoken, they received an enthusiastic response from everyone.
"The boss is actually planning to build a restaurant? Can we have new dishes tonight?"
“I’m so excited!! I’ll be the first to come and show my support after it’s completed!”
"You're expanding your menu so quickly. I think I can eat this oden for another week."
"Don't even mention oden. I've eaten too much canned food. Now I won't get tired of eating month-old meat buns."
But more choices are always a good thing. Everyone had a happy look on their faces and was eager to try it out. They all said they would come to patronize the restaurant as soon as it was completed in the afternoon.
…
With Mo Bai's help, Shu Mo's workload was greatly reduced.
There is no purchase limit in the hot spring, so everyone ate to their heart's content. After lunch, everyone was full and felt sleepy.
Shu Mo also covered his mouth and yawned slightly, with tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
Once the survival crisis is resolved, people immediately become lazy. If she didn't have to receive guests in the afternoon, she would really like to take a nap.
But Mo Bai has no experience of running a store alone, so it would be too much for him to take on so many things by himself. Shu Mo was helpless. He stretched and cheered himself up, secretly wondering when he could open a coffee shop and sell lattes, cappuccinos, hot chocolate and the like.
It’s a pity that the iced American coffee she often drank to refresh herself when she was in school is not likely to be popular in this world of ice and snow.
Shu Mo flipped his hand and took out a wooden sign purchased from the construction mall, picked up a pen and wrote something on it, his mind wandering aimlessly.
——It would be best if there is a bakery next to the coffee shop. The atmosphere in the game is too depressing, and supplementing sugar can help players cheer up. What's more, is there anything more attractive than freshly baked, hot, sweet and soft bread?
Shu Mo gradually sketched out the picture of the future hot spring street in his mind. The corners of his lips could not help but rise, and he felt infinite energy surging in his body again.
"Get to work!" She suddenly put down the wooden sign, startling Mo Bai who was guarding the door.
The guests who had eaten their fill left the hall one after another and returned to their rooms for a nap. Unconsciously, they were the only two left around.
Shu Mo stepped on a chair and hung the wooden sign on the wall behind her. Mo Bai looked at her carefully, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression moved slightly and he looked back towards the outside of the house.
Through the wooden door, several voices of suppressed joy came from far away.
"We're here! This is it, right?"
"Oh my God, look at the chimney on the roof!"
"That one at the door is the stall where the boss made oden that day, right?"
"Yeah! It looks familiar to me. It's worth it that we set out at dawn today and made this trip without stopping."
"Hahahahahaha, we should be the first ones to arrive, right? Oden, here I come!!!"
Along with that last bold voice, a group of figures appeared in the wind and snow - the weather in the game changed suddenly, and after the afternoon, a strong wind blew outside the house again, blowing on the exposed skin, cutting people painfully like a knife.
Shu Mo heard their discussion and was certain.
Jiang Qing's family and Chen Hui's team, who arrived early, set off yesterday afternoon. From this moment on, the guests who set out from Guangming Town at dawn today should also arrive one after another.
They were able to make it all the way in such weather, and the time they took was even faster than before Shu Mo got the agility running shoes. It can be imagined that this team must be very strong.
It’s a pity that some people set out earlier than them, and now all the rooms are full. Shu Mo feels a little sorry for them.
The wooden door was pushed open, and a group of people came in, no more, no less, exactly ten people.
Shu Mo glanced at their personal panels and found that it was another team of high-level players.
"Sorry, all the rooms are full today, and the hotel is temporarily not providing accommodation. However, hot springs and food are still available. Is there anything you need?" Without waiting for them to speak, Shu Mo pointed to the price list she had just made on the wall behind her.
"What? No more accommodation?" The leader was immediately anxious. "We have come such a long way. Boss, please think of a solution!"
"Forget it, forget it. I see there's a large open space outside. We can set up a tent nearby." Someone beside him patted his back and consoled him, "We didn't come here for accommodation. We just ran into Song Si's group on the road. They will probably be here in less than half an hour. I think we should buy the stuff now. In case it's limited quantity..."
Shu Mo kindly reminded, "Currently, there is sufficient food and beverage inventory, but the hot spring has a limit on the number of people allowed in. Only five men and five women can enter at a time."
After hearing what she said, the captain calmed down immediately.
After a little thought, he made arrangements in an orderly manner. Shu Mo just collected the money, and he felt happy when he heard the wonderful sound of gold coins clinking into his bag.
In less than half an hour, Song Si's team arrived as expected. The hall was crowded, but the few people who had just entered did not come out for a long time, perhaps because they had too much fun or fainted.
There is no time limit for the hot spring, and Shu Mo didn't want to rush them. She had just informed Song Si and the others that the guest rooms were full, and then said that the hot spring couldn't be used for the time being, which really caused a protest.
The leader, Song Si, was a burly man who looked angry, but not against Shu Mo. "No wonder they ran like rabbits when we met them just now. They were waiting for us here! I don't know what they are fighting for!"
He said he would not fight, but his expression was quite angry.
The reason is simple. Song Si's team has a very distinctive style. They are all men. Except for the priest, all ten of them are heavily armored. It is a pure meat tank lineup.
The advantage is that it has a lot of health and each attack is very powerful. When fighting specific monsters, such a lineup is extremely useful.
But the shortcomings are also obvious: slow movement speed, slow attack speed. The two teams set out at the same time, but Song Si and his group arrived half an hour late.
The two teams were of similar strength. They ran for a long time but were overwhelmed because of their speed. No wonder they were so resentful.
Looking at this group of sturdy men in heavy armor, and thinking about the description "running like rabbits", Shu Mo inexplicably found it subtly funny.
Mo Bai protected Shu Mo silently. Shu Mo thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He bowed to the dissatisfied group of people and said gently, "Please wait a moment."
After saying that, Shu Mo turned and walked out of the wooden house, quickly swiping through the building list. Her fingertips stopped on a certain building and she clicked to buy it.
[Consumed: 1500 points]
[Obtain: [Small Sulfur Foot Bath]*1]
[Put in backpack]
After buying the footbath, there were nearly 3,000 points left in the account, plus the upcoming income was enough to cover the restaurant expenses and maintenance costs, so Shu Mo bought it so decisively.
The flying snowflakes all over her head and face, she raised her hand to protect her forehead, took a few difficult steps in the wind and snow, and stopped about ten meters away from the cabin, and decided to build.
"Bang!"
The smoke rose and dissipated, and a small wooden pavilion emerged from the ground.
The wooden pavilion and the pool in it are both rectangular. The hot spring water is surrounded by stones and the bottom is paved with pebbles. There are wooden benches on both sides and a long table suspended in the middle. The chandelier on the beam above my head squeaked and swayed in the wind.
The next second, the range of the barrier expanded to cover the entire footbath pool.
The wind and snow suddenly died down, and the creaking sound also quieted down.
Shu Mo checks the building details.
【Number of customers that can be accommodated: 10】
【Number of current customers: 0】
Shu Mo will continue to expand the indoor hot spring pool. This foot bath that can accommodate ten people is only used as an emergency measure when there are too many people queuing.
There is no need to take off clothes to soak in the foot hot spring, so the customer flow is faster, and snacks and drinks can also be sold at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
In order to prevent customers' shoes from being immersed in snow water again after soaking in the foot bath, Shu Mo opened the [Environment] category of the mall and selected the gravel road.
Like the bamboo forest, the gravel road also costs 20 points per unit, but Shu Mo only plans to pave the short section of road from the wooden house to the foot bath pavilion, which is about ten meters long, so the cost is not high.
When paving the road, you can choose the length, width and shape yourself, and you can even cut it at will. After some experimenting, Shu Mo finally paved a curved path about 1.5 meters wide between the two buildings.
[Consumed: 60 points]
After arranging all this, she looked at the results, nodded with satisfaction, and returned to the store to greet Song Si and his group who were waiting impatiently.
"We've added a new foot spa outside the store. If you're interested, you can go and experience it."
She was halfway through her words when she looked at the people who were wolfing down the fresh meat buns as if they hadn't eaten for three days, and she remained silent for two seconds.
He looks like he's enjoying his meal, and doesn't seem like he's impatient to wait, does he?
Song Si wanted to speak when he heard this, but he almost choked. He drank a bowl of pear soup and then wiped the corner of his mouth, "...Foot hot spring?"
Shu Mo looked at the empty bowl in his hand, estimated the income, and smiled even more, "Yes, eating and drinking are allowed in the foot bath pavilion. If you need snacks or drinks during the meal, you can ask the waiter to bring them over."
Come to life!
The waiter, Comrade Mo Bai, eyes lit up, and he stepped forward silently, making his presence known.
"I didn't see it when I came in just now. Is it a new facility?" someone asked curiously.
"We're just waiting here for nothing anyway, why don't we go soak in the foot spa first?"
The others followed suit and stood up, heading towards the foot bath the boss had mentioned.
As soon as they went out, everyone was shocked.
When did this finely paved gravel road beneath your feet appear?
When they arrived, they noticed that there seemed to be a transparent barrier around the hotel, isolating the blizzard from outside. But in just a few minutes, the scope of the barrier actually expanded a lot. They walked along the gravel path to the wooden pavilion, feeling only a slight chill all the way.
The temperature was just like an ordinary winter day before the game came on.
The weather was so normal that it seemed abnormal.
"…This place is so magical." Song Si murmured.
He couldn't help but wonder, if the transparent "barrier" continued to expand, wouldn't it be possible to create an area in the game where people could walk freely without cold-proof clothing?
The hotel is surrounded by an empty snowfield without any trees, so the pavilion standing abruptly is particularly eye-catching.
There is a towel rack on one side of the entrance for guests to use, and there is also a bamboo basket for collecting old towels next to it.
On the other side there is a wooden sign.
【Notes:
1. Eating and drinking are allowed in the foot spa. You can ring the small bell above the seat to call the staff;
2. A single bathing session cannot exceed 30 minutes. If you want to extend the time, you must purchase new tickets. 】
There is a big line of words written at the bottom.
[Single price: 30 points/person]
Many people will feel dizzy after soaking in indoor hot spring pools for a long time, so there is no time limit. However, it is different for foot hot springs, so Shu Mo decisively set a time limit this time.
Standing at the entrance of the pavilion, you can already see the dark hot spring water inside. There is probably a spring underneath. The water surface is rippling, and the hot steam makes the table top wet and hot, condensing into tiny water droplets.
It’s real hot water! !
Everyone stared with wide eyes and rushed to pay the bill.
Shu Mo: Plan Pass√
She knew that the Chinese people’s love for foot soaking is engraved in their DNA!
