Chapter 29
It would take some time for Bai Rongrongqun to come back with his resume, and Shu Mo was not prepared to just sit there and wait.
It just so happened that the customers in the restaurant had already placed their orders one after another. Mo Bai replenished his stock for the last time and came down to exchange with her. Shu Mo went upstairs to have his own lunch first.
As she passed by Mo Bai, she remembered something, "By the way, how long does it take for the Simulacrum to recover its full strength?"
When Mo Bai heard this, a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes.
"It's seriously injured. It will take about three or four days to fully recover."
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.
"Got it." Shu Mo's expression remained unchanged and he nodded slightly.
Three or four days is not an unacceptable length.
In fact, the game store sells items that can help summoned beasts recover their physical strength, but the level of the mimic beast is too high. To quickly restore the combat capability of a monster of this strength, the points required are simply an astronomical number.
Although the player mall does not use business accounts, Shu Mo might as well use the spare money to strengthen his defensive equipment.
Anyway, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Turning her head and seeing Mo Bai's wandering gaze, she probably guessed that he was feeling guilty about something and found it a little funny at the moment.
Xiao Heilong hit too hard and knocked his future colleague to the point where he was barely breathing with just one punch. He must still be feeling guilty about this now.
Shu Mo thought of the Bai Rongrongs' attitude of avoiding Mo Bai, and suddenly felt that Mo Bai's future career life was not optimistic.
"A new group of employees will probably arrive in a couple of days. Get along well with them then."
She acted like a good boss, patted the boy's shoulder kindly and encouraged him.
Mo Bai:?
I am most afraid of my boss’ sudden concern.
He hesitated for a moment, "I understand..."

The lunch menu is salt and pepper chicken wings, crispy lotus root dumplings and mapo tofu, served with the usual rice and barley tea.
Shu Mo stayed downstairs for a while. By then, many people had finished their meals and left. Only a few people were sitting in the restaurant drinking tea and chatting.
She took the food on the tray and sat down at a random table by the window.
The skin of the pepper and salt chicken wings is fried golden and crispy, which looks extremely tempting. When you bite it, there is a crisp sound, and the gravy splashes on the tip of your tongue. The inside is still tender. The chicken is marinated very well and can be easily torn off the bones with your teeth. You can finish one in two or three bites.
The system thoughtfully comes with a pair of disposable gloves. Shu Mo hadn't eaten fried chicken for a long time and was so craving for it that he simply took two plates at once and poured them together. Immediately, a small mountain of chicken wings appeared in front of him.
She ate the chicken wings slowly with gloves on, but she was still thinking about the hotel upgrade.
There are still too few hot spring facilities at present. After mealtime, the restaurant closes and non-hotel guests rarely stay in the cabin. They either go back to their tents for a nap or go out in teams to kill monsters. The number of visitors to the hot spring was low during this period, which gave her plenty of time to focus on the decoration.
Shu Mo calmly looked over the layout of the restaurant, his eyes resting on the bar and the small door connecting to the kitchen.
Because all dishes are generated directly by the system and do not require cooking, this area has been left vacant, seeming out of place in the already renovated restaurant.
In the past two days, players have been asking Shu Mo if he plans to build something there, and their words are full of anticipation.
This hot spring can be said to be the only spice for the players' boring lives, so they naturally expect the facilities to be as rich as possible.
Shu Mo did plan to renovate the place.
Once the recruited employees arrive, the restaurant will have to change to open all day, and those tables and chairs do not need to be left empty outside of meal times, but can be put to good use... For example, it can be changed into a bar, cafe, teahouse, or the like, where guests can sit down and chat.
After all, even the bar is ready-made.
Nowadays, many customers like to order a cup of tea and sit here to chat after their meal, and stay there until the restaurant closes. But the profit margin of barley tea is too low, and we can’t make any money, so we have to launch some new drinks.
A plan quickly came up in his mind. Shu Mo swallowed the last sip of tea and slowly took off his plastic gloves.
Carrying the tray full of chicken bones to the restaurant door, she threw the tray along with the used tableware and kitchen waste into the recycling bin at the door.
With a flash of light, the garbage inside disappeared, and the freshly cleaned tableware quietly reappeared on the shelf, shining brightly.
I have to say, the game system is very convenient. You don’t even have to sort the garbage yourself.
Shu Mo went to the first floor and walked around.
The barrier told her that there were several players who had just arrived and were soaking in the hot springs.
The guests were still inside, so it was difficult to upgrade. Shu Mo had to remind Mo Bai, "Don't let anyone in after this group of guests comes out."
During the peak hours of hot spring bathing in the past two days, the hall is often crowded with a bunch of customers queuing up. As the number of players coming to the Nuannuan Hot Spring increases, many people set up camp nearby. The small indoor hot spring that can only accommodate ten people at a time is obviously not enough.
"Got it." Mo Bai nodded to show that he understood, and Shu Mo turned around and went outside.
Open the mall and quickly select the building you need.
[Consumed: 8800 points]
[Get: [Small Family Suite (with indoor hot spring)]*1]
[Get: [Small Chinese-style family suite (including indoor hot spring) * 1]]
[Obtain: [Small Double Room]*5]
[Get: [Small double room (with indoor hot spring)]*3]
[Put in backpack]
When upgrading a hotel, the first priority is of course to increase the number of guest rooms.
Changing the hotel layout is not as easy as simply adding a floor, and requires the use of gloves. When the room was locked into a miniature model, no guests were allowed in the room, and she would have to negotiate with everyone one by one.
This step is a bit troublesome, so Shu Mo plans to wait until the guests in the hot spring come out before proceeding together.
Shu Mo put all the ten newly purchased guest rooms into his backpack and walked along the gravel road towards the back of the building.
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly stopped.
"By the way..." She remembered something, muttered softly, and stopped.
——We need to add some lighting around the path.
Otherwise, it would be like last night, where I accidentally walked off the track and stepped into the snow.
It was okay that it was her who almost fell yesterday, but it would be terrible if a guest staying in the hotel wanted to soak in the foot hot spring at night and accidentally tripped.
In hotel management, we need to pay attention to various details in order to comprehensively improve the customer's living experience. Shu Mo had already prepared himself to do a lot of trivial work today and was very patient.
She opened the mall and spent a few minutes selecting a lawn lamp from the vast array of products.
Made of black metal, with a modern design style, simple and low-key, it is perfect for path lighting.
[Consumed: 300 points]
Each lamp cost 15 points. Shu Mo bought twenty at once and placed them evenly on both sides of the path, making sure there was a lamp every few steps.
After the arrangement was completed, Shu Mo walked back and forth twice and felt that the extra lamps made the path look bare.
——After all, it is a “lawn lamp”.
When you see it together with the gravel road, you naturally think of a garden path, but there is no green grass around it, only muddy snow trampled by pedestrians. The comparison is really horrible.
But if he wanted to lay lawn, Shu Mo was not sure where the grass should end.
With such a large snowfield around, a lawn in the middle would look out of place.
She was a little distressed for a moment.
Frowning and pacing for a while, Shu Mo suddenly remembered the side quest that she had temporarily put on hold.
[Side Quest: "The View Outside the Window"]
The task requires that 500 units of ornamental plants be arranged around the hotel.
Since we are going to do greening, we might as well complete this task together.
Shu Mo pinched his chin and looked around, thinking silently.
However, I currently have limited points, and this task requires too many points, so it is best to leave it to the end.
After arranging the next things to do in his mind, Shu Mo followed the gravel road to the back of the main building of the hot spring hotel.
There stood a small wooden bungalow all alone.
Shu Mo was shocked when he saw this extremely shabby "dormitory building" which didn't even have a toilet and only consisted of two dormitories.
In order to welcome the incoming new employees, it's time to upgrade the dormitory building.
By the way, it can also improve the boss's living environment.
Shu Mo had wanted to renovate this small, dilapidated building for a long time. Otherwise, he would have to go back to the main building every time to use the toilet or wash up, which was really inconvenient.
[Consumed: 1500 points]
[Obtain: [Single Dormitory]*3]
[Put in backpack]
Shu Mo took out the newly bought single room from his backpack, put on gloves, and switched to construction mode.
Those small single rooms are like building blocks that we played with in our hands as children. We can move them around as we like. They seem to have magnets around them, and they will automatically stick to each other when we get close to each other, so we don’t have to rush around.
Shu Mo once again marveled at the wonder of the system.
She arranged the room grids neatly, aligning every corner with obsessive compulsive disorder, and then put the much-expanded dormitory building back to its original position with a thud.
The newly purchased single room is about 27 or 28 square meters in size, with bright windows and clean desks. Because there are no obstructions around the dormitory building and it only has one floor, the room has excellent lighting, is spacious and bright, and the light-colored furniture is pleasing to the eye.
Shu Mo went in one by one and opened the windows to ventilate.
The temperature inside the barrier is just right, and it doesn't feel too cold even with the window open. The breeze blows the snow-white curtains, filling the room with sunlight.
In addition to basic furniture such as beds, tables and chairs, the room also has its own toilet and shower room.
The supporting facilities are complete and hot water is available 24 hours a day.
As long as you turn on the faucet, it won't take long for the water to become warm, and even have a faint smell of sulfur.
The employees eat all three meals in the cafeteria with their boss Shu Mo. Considering that it is inconvenient to drink water on a daily basis, Shu Mo has installed a common half-person-high old-fashioned water bucket at the end of the dormitory corridor, so that employees can just take a cup to get water when needed.
She then spent some extra points to slightly upgrade her and Mo Bai's room, adding a bathroom and shower room.
After doing all this, the dormitory building finally looks a little more presentable.
Including today's turnover, there are still about 15,000 points in the account.
Even if you complete all the side quests of arranging the bamboo forest in one go, the remaining points will be more than enough to upgrade the hot springs.
Shu Mo was raised by two elderly people since he was a child. The family of three lives on a meager monthly pension and the compensation left by his parents' car accident. Although the family conditions are not bad, they still have to be frugal.
This was the first time in Shu Mo's life that he felt the feeling of being rich and powerful.
After some calculations, I found that the balance was enough to buy everything I wanted at once without affecting my life. It felt so wonderful!
