Chapter 31
Shu Mo hoped very much that he could continue his good luck from last time.
After clicking on the lottery ticket, the same bright light as the last time when [Legend] was drawn lit up, flowing light floated, and holy white light sprinkled down, and Shu Mo's eyes lit up.
No way? Is she really that lucky?
But she immediately noticed the difference.
Although the special effects this time are still gorgeous, the star-like light lacks the fluttering white feathers, making it look a little simple in comparison.
Then the level of the item drawn will be clear.
Sure enough, a deep purple light gradually emerged from the dazzling white light.
[Obtain: [Natural Landscape · Stream]*1]
[Description: A crystal clear river, you can freely choose the location to build it. 】
【Quality: Extraordinary】
Shu Mo's eyes widened.
She drew a stream?
I didn't expect there was something like this in the prize pool.
So, is it possible for her to draw some larger landscapes in the future, or even directly draw a building... such as a Statue of Liberty or something?
Shu Mo was curious and wanted to call out to the system to ask, but he got no response after calling it twice. It seemed that the other party had made up his mind to play dead.
Shu Mo blinked and muttered, "Did I guess it right?"
system:【……】
[[Natural Landscape · Stream] has been added to the backpack]
The law of the game is that everything can be put into a backpack.
Shu Mo was no longer surprised by this.
She walked out of the small building and saw the crowd gathered at the door. "You can go in now. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"No need to apologize, boss. We have broadened our horizons." One person said with a smile.
"Just standing outside for a while and getting free desserts is a good thing."
"Yes! Besides, we, the customers, should be the ones who are happy when the hotel expands."
"Have the number of guest rooms increased as well? Can we book a stay now?"
Shu Mo nodded, "After the renovation, ten new guest rooms will be added. Extra beds can be added. If needed, you can go to the front desk to check in later."
The crowd cheered.
Some people were also curious, "Boss, are all the things in your store purchased from the game? Why have I never seen these types of buildings in the mall before?"
Not to mention the dishes that have never appeared in the game.
Nearly a week after traveling through time, this is the first time a player has directly raised questions about the hot springs in front of Shu Mo.
She had also felt puzzled before - this obviously unreasonable thing appeared in the game, and a normal person's first reaction should be to think "why is this happening", but the vast majority of players just accepted it naturally after a burst of ecstasy.
After a few days of thinking, Shu Mo basically came to the conclusion that players had such reactions because their understanding of the world had been destroyed by this game ten years ago.
This sudden extreme cold apocalypse almost reshaped the rules of the entire world. Universal truths no longer exist. People have to face an endless stream of monsters of unknown origin, explore the unknown world, and explore and learn new rules - professions, levels, common sense of survival... And for people who have not been exposed to games in the past, especially RPG games, this adaptation process is even more difficult.
Ten years may not be enough for humans to understand the full picture of the end of the world, but at least it allows them to learn how to accept new things and use them for their own benefit.
Shu Mo roughly understood their mentality and said concisely, "No, ordinary players probably can't buy it."
The man's expression changed and he stopped asking questions.
If “ordinary players” can’t buy it, doesn’t that mean this young boss is not an ordinary player?
Shu Mo's bold distinction between himself and everyone else made him dare not have any other thoughts.
Although these later customers did not witness with their own eyes how the flock of jackdaws was scared away by the roar of Shu Mo's summoned beast like Jiang Qing and his wife, with the eyesight of advanced players, they could easily see how powerful the barrier surrounding the hotel was.
Who knows how many cards Shu Mo has hidden?
Another change brought about by "Arctic Cold" is that it has brought the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak back to human society.
Shu Mo's nonchalant tone made the player immediately stop chatting.
"Then boss, we'll go in first."
Shu Mo said in a gentle voice, "Everyone, don't forget to pick up the dessert 'Mango Glutinous Rice Cake' during dinner time."
"Okay!"
After bidding farewell to the players, she walked around to the bamboo forest behind the cabin and opened her backpack.
There was indeed an extra thing in the grid, and the thumbnail looked like a glittering silver ribbon.
Shu Mo dragged Xiaoxi out and a reminder popped up in front of him.
[Do you want to place the "creek" in this area? 】
【·Manual layout】
【Automatic layout】
It was the same reminder as when planting the bamboo forest. Shu Mo had already experienced the fun of manual arrangement and directly chose automatic arrangement.
She clicked on the option, and the next second her eyes blurred. When she saw clearly again, Shu Mo couldn't help rubbing her eyes.
A quietly flowing stream appeared among the bamboo forest.
The widest part is only three or four meters, and the depth is just above an adult's calf. The water is clear and sparkling, and the sunlight shines through the treetops, casting mottled shadows. Every few dozen meters there are several huge rocks for pedestrians to pass through, dividing the stream into several trickles. The water hits the rocks, making a pleasant sound.
There was even damp green moss on the edges of the boulders...as if they had existed silently in the forest with the stream for a long time.
Shu Mo looked closely and found that there were small fish swimming briskly in the winding stream.
There is no health bar, no monster information, it is really just an ordinary fish.
This was the first time she saw ordinary animals in the game world.
Shu Mo was stunned for a moment and a little excited.
"System! Can I take the fish out and cook it now?"
system:【……】
What if the host's mind is filled with only eating?
[Tip: The "fry" is growing, and the next maturity period will be 7 days later]
Shu Mo took two seconds to react, sighed with regret, and suddenly remembered the bamboo dishes he hadn't had time to check just now -
[Tip: The "bamboo shoots" are growing, and the next harvest period is 7 days later]
There is actually a harvest cycle.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Otherwise, wouldn't we be able to pick and catch endlessly?
The by-products of bamboo include bamboo shoots, bamboo poles of mature bamboo used to make bamboo tube rice, and bamboo leaves used to make rice dumplings, etc. Bamboo shoots can be harvested immediately, but in that case, the bamboo stalks and leaves will not be harvested.
As for the mature fish and bamboo, as long as they are not caught or harvested, they will remain in existence and Shu Mo does not need to bother to store them.
It is worth mentioning that both bamboo and fish in the river are counted as free resources when purchasing the landscape. Even if all the bamboo resources are cut down and all the fish in the river are caught, the bamboo forest as a landscape will still exist and the small fish will still wag their tails happily in the stream.
Shu Mo couldn't help but sigh: This game system is so considerate!
She first harvested one-third of the bamboo shoots and left the rest to grow freely.
[Obtain: [Bamboo Shoots]*150]
[The items have been placed in the restaurant's food section. You can use [bamboo shoots] to exchange for dishes such as "braised spring bamboo shoots" and "dried bamboo shoots"...]
There are 450 units of bamboo forest, and each unit produces one bamboo shoot every seven days, so one third of that is 150 shoots.
Compared with purchasing buildings, arranging landscaping costs more and the benefits are less. Landscapes cannot be used to make money directly, but fortunately these by-products make up for this to some extent.
Shu Mo nodded secretly.
She opened the map and glanced at it.
There was a vast bamboo forest painted with ink around the inn. Shu Mo's eyes stayed on it for a few seconds, then moved to the road along Guangming Town, and saw a group of white fluffy creatures at the entrance of the town.
The cloud-like icon almost overlaps with the stick figures of the town’s buildings.
The white fluffs have arrived.
*
In Guangming Town.
"Xiaoxiao, are you ready to leave?"
The young girl who was about to leave stopped when she heard this, looked at the middle-aged woman who looked up from behind the hotel counter, and said with a smile, "I'll come to take over your shift at six tomorrow morning, Sister Chai."
"Go ahead." Sister Chai waved her hand casually.
There were no customers in the store at the moment, and Sister Chai was bored, so she rested her chin on her hand and looked at her fingernails.
The sunlight slanted in through the narrow windows, shifting inch by inch as time passed.
The faint smile on Gu Xiao's face disappeared completely after he walked out of the hotel.
She looked at the blue sky above her head and sighed softly, revealing her fatigue that was hard to conceal.
Another day has passed...
In order to save money, the boss only hired three employees. The three of them are responsible for cleaning the rooms and making the beds after the guests check out, as well as cleaning the lobby, collecting the cash, and dealing with all kinds of strange requests from the guests. The salary is meager, the work is non-stop all year round, and one often has to work overnight shifts.
Even so, Gu Xiao and the other two girls had to fight hard for this opportunity.
It is a bit hard, but at least it is a stable job.
There are not many hotels in Guangming Town. Occasionally, players coming from other places will choose to stay in hotels close to the market. Their hotel has a geographical advantage and never has to worry about having no guests.
Gu Xiao knew in her heart that she was lucky to find such a job, but...
I get up every day, wash with cold water, have a simple breakfast with canned food, sit behind the counter for more than ten hours, walk home after get off work, have dinner again with canned food, then wash up and go to bed, and it's a new day again.
How long will these repetitive and boring days last?
She dragged her heavy steps towards the market.
On the way, I thought of the girl who stayed at the hotel that day.
Her eyes were bright and her smile was like a crescent moon, which was in stark contrast to my tiredness and boredom. She seemed to be surrounded by an inexplicable magnetic field that made me feel relaxed and happy.
The next day, when he went to the market to queue up to buy oden, Gu Xiao realized that the girl who had kindly reminded him the day before was actually the mysterious oden stall owner.
While biting a candied haws, she heard the girl say cheerfully that she had opened a hot spring hotel.
As he spoke, Gu Xiao couldn't help but imagine what the hotel looked like.
She instinctively felt that the hotel run by the young girl would not be as dark and cramped as the one where she wandered around day and night. Will sit in a bright place and bask in the warm sunshine. Every traveler passing by can go in and buy a cup of sweet and warm hot drink, chat leisurely on the bench, talk about what they saw and heard that day, rest for a while, and then turn around and go out into the wind and snow.
If possible, she also wants to go and see it.
Gu Xiao opened his personal panel, counted the amount of money on it, and lowered his head dejectedly.
Her level was too low, and the only summoned beast she had was a low-level monster, a snow rabbit, which she kept as a pet. That stupid rabbit was as weak as she was, and had low fighting ability. Gu Xiao had no doubt that if they and the rabbit dared to leave the city, they would be eaten to the bone within ten minutes.
How could I dare to set foot in the place where high-level monsters gather?
I don't know how long it will take to save enough money to hire a senior team to take her back and forth. If she arrives at a place and the hotel is full and she can't stay there, even setting up a tent there will be a hassle...
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao became even more depressed.
Just then she could hear a faint noise and could see the main entrance of the market in the distance.
Next to the entrance to the market stands a huge wooden board more than two meters high. It is very eye-catching, and is densely covered with colorful papers of different sizes. This has always been the busiest place in the town, and residents passing by would habitually stop to see if there were any new notices on it. But today, this board was tightly surrounded by three layers of defense inside and outside.
The crowd was chattering, but no one knew what they were talking about.
The gossip radar was activated, Gu Xiao sensed something was wrong and moved forward curiously.
The crowd surrounded the bulletin board so tightly that she had to work hard to squeeze in, and following the crowd's gaze, she found a piece of white paper.
Gu Xiao would pass by the market entrance after get off work every day and take a look at the bulletin board to see if there was anything new, so she was very sure that this piece of paper had just appeared today.
A4 size. News that can be published on such a large paper are generally important news. Although it is highly likely that it has nothing to do with an unknown low-level player like her, it can still serve as a diversion from her boring life, and Gu Xiao felt refreshed.
She narrowed her eyes and looked intently amid the buzzing discussion among the crowd—
[Nuannuan Hot Spring officially opened! 】
When he saw the title, Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment.
The people around were already in an uproar, but Gu Xiao's gaze slowly moved and fell on another brand new advertisement that was a little distance away from the paper and slightly less noticeable.
【Nuannuan Hot Springs·Recruitment Notice】
Her heart began to beat violently.
