Chapter 36
In the hotel, Shu Mo felt something in his heart, "It seems they have arrived."
There is a natural telepathy between the summoned beast and the summoner. Shu Mo noticed the approach of the mimic beast and Bai Rongrong, and quickly put down the coffee and milk in his hand and went out to greet them.
The beastman and its vehicle form did not fit in very well, and the snow-white sedan did not stop until it got close to the hotel. The splashed snow wet Shu Mo's trouser legs. Seeing this, the mimic seemed to shrink back, the whole car trembled, and it turned around and subconsciously looked around.
Shu Mo saw what it was doing and was silent for two seconds. "...I was the one who was splashed, not Mo Bai. Shouldn't you care about me first?"
It seems that his own summoned beast is more afraid of the other summoned beast than himself, the summoner, which makes Shu Mo feel a little complicated.
The mimic beast whimpered, feeling a little aggrieved, and the next second, the four people who were shaken dizzy were "vomited" out by it.
Gu Xiao and the others were still a little confused until they saw Shu Mo.
When Gu Xiao came out, he fell on his butt and landed on the soft snow, but he didn't feel any pain. The swordsman quickly caught Liu Xueruo's wheelchair.
Seeing this, Shu Mo quickly checked Liu Xueruo's condition and found that she was fine. Then he turned around and scolded the mimic twice, "Don't be so rough. What if the passenger falls and gets hurt?"
"Next time, remember to open the car door and let the tourists get off by themselves." Shu Mo took out a diagram and a small wooden stick from somewhere, pointed to a certain part of the painting and said, "Here, refer to this when you don't know how to change it."
The car (?) that was so majestic just now has now turned back into the form of an Arctic fox, with its two snow-white paws resting on the snow, its ears drooping, its head buried, and it is listening obediently.
The four of them hadn’t recovered from the shock of “The S-class monster is actually using it as a means of transportation for me”, “I’m still sitting in its belly”, “and it can actually turn into a small car!”, and then they witnessed the S-class monster whining at being scolded, and they just felt terrible.
Especially the experienced swordsman player, his eyes changed again and again when he saw this scene——
If I remember correctly, shouldn't the Mimic be a monster almost at the top of the food chain?
Even among the elite player group, the Mimics have a fierce reputation. Legend has it that it moves as fast as lightning and has a high level of intelligence, like a middle school student with a bad temper, and it almost takes pleasure in torturing players. Once you are targeted by it, the end will be miserable.
When he traveled alone, he witnessed how a senior team was driven mad by this monster.
The ghostly mimic followed the team patiently for three days. Whenever they let down their guard for a moment, or when night fell, it would sneak up like the shadow of death, dragging away members one after another in the blink of an eye. By the time others reacted, only shrill screams were left echoing in the air.
Then it came to an abrupt end after a few seconds of their frantic search.
When the last person in the team was dragged away, the swordsman player happened to be nearby. He just watched him with empty eyes as he took the claw of the mimic beast, and his body instantly turned into countless pixels and fell from the air.
The last player left happened to be the defenseless priest in their team.
The image of the ferocious beast sitting leisurely and licking its claws after finishing the killing is still imprinted in the hearts of swordsman players.
Monsters are naturally hostile to players, and the beastmanship is inconsistent with its soft and cute appearance. It is ferocious and brutal in its bones. There is only one possibility for it to behave so well and docile at this time.
"Did you tame it?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, I'm a summoner." Shu Mo looked at him and smiled, "You are Brother Yao, right?"
Swordsman player, Yao Yonghui, the mysterious master with a very unusual resume.
Shu Mo took advantage of the barrier to check his personal panel.
【Player Information】
Name: Yao Yonghui
Age: 36
Occupation: Swordsman
Level: Lv.83
A master of this level can walk sideways among the players. However, Yao Yonghui was inexplicably nervous when facing Shu Mo, a young girl.
Perhaps it was because of the ferocious beast that was lying obediently on the ground and allowing her to knead it that he vaguely realized that she must be hiding an even more terrifying power.
"Don't worry, the mimicry is very well behaved and won't hurt anyone." Shu Mo said as he put away the teaching papers.
Gu Xiao took the opportunity to take a quick look and found that the painting in the boss's hand was of an orange bus. The front of the car is a grinning cat head, the wheels are replaced by several legs, and there is a big furry and chubby tail behind the car body...
The drawing skills are not very good, but this image is extremely familiar to East Asian children.
——It was the cat bus in that classic anime movie that gave Shu Mo the inspiration to turn the anthropomorphic beast into a vehicle.
The largest the Beastoid can transform into is a small building, large enough to carry dozens of people. As the load increases, the speed will decrease accordingly. If we really carry so many passengers, it will take about an hour one way from Guangming Town to the Hot Spring Hotel.
Even so, it is much faster than players walking themselves.
This time we went to pick up four employees, which was just a trial run. The official operation will take another two days, after the injuries of the mimic beast are completely healed.
Shu Mo plans to take advantage of this period of time to promote the "Arctic Fox Bus Going Directly to Hot Springs".
She collected her thoughts, looked at the four people in front of her, and smiled, "I think everyone must be hungry. It's time for dinner now. Let's go to the restaurant to eat first, and then I'll take you to get familiar with the environment."
"good!"
Gu Xiao and others immediately put aside all their thoughts and nodded excitedly.
*
Liu Yan was completely stunned.
After returning home last night, she tossed and turned all night, and all she could think about were the words the Zhang couple said. She was angry, but couldn't help but feel worried.
What the other party said was unpleasant to hear, but it was not without reason.
After thinking about it more, Liu Yan couldn't help but start to doubt whether it was a good choice to take a gamble and take her daughter to such a remote and dangerous place.
If it weren't for the boss's gentle tone in the reply letter, and the few words Gu Xiao said at the city gate that slightly calmed her anxious mood, Liu Yan might have backed out.
But everything she saw after arriving at Nuannuan Hot Spring made her completely change her mind.
The brand new and beautiful stand-alone building stands quietly in the sun, and its wooden exterior walls blend cleverly with the surrounding natural environment. The large floor-to-ceiling windows look bright and airy. The hotel is surrounded by a lush green bamboo forest with mottled shadows of trees, which sway gently in the breeze, bringing bursts of pleasant bamboo fragrance.
The invisible barrier blocked the biting cold. Everywhere you looked, you could see residents wearing only simple warm clothing, taking a walk in the woods, or sitting on outdoor benches with a few meals in hand, enjoying a hearty lunch in the midday sun.
...How can this look like the end of the world at all?
Not to mention the leveling area full of monsters, even compared with Guangming Town, a prosperous small town with a population of over ten thousand, Nuannuan Hot Spring is so beautiful that it seems like a paradise.
Are they going to work in a place like this in the future?
Liu Yan was still a little bit unbelieving until Shu Mo brought her into the wooden house.
Gu Xiao kindly helped to hold the door. Liu Yan pushed Liu Xueruo's wheelchair in in a daze, and the next moment she was awakened by a gust of warm wind blowing towards her.
The frozen skin exposed to the outside was like the dry soil moistened by the spring rain. Every pore was shouting, celebrating the end of the long drought.
“So warm…”
Even the taciturn Yao Yonghui couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
It seems that this boss’s greatest strength is not in taming monsters.
"Is this heaven?" Gu Xiao quickly looked around the entire hall, his eyes fell on the transparent thermal cabinet on the counter, and he swallowed silently.
The inside of the transparent display cabinet was covered with a thin layer of water vapor, hiding the things inside. Only a vague shadow was revealed, milky white and round, and it was obvious at first glance...
Meat! Bag! son!
"Boss, do we have meat buns in our staff meals?" Gu Xiao's saliva was drooling, and his big round eyes looked at Shu Mo eagerly, "If not, I can buy them myself."
Liu Xueruo clenched the corner of her clothes and whispered, "I want to eat too."
Liu Yan woke up when she heard her daughter speak, and responded, "Eat! Eat as much as you want."
God knows how heartbroken she is when she sees her skinny daughter sitting in a wheelchair every day. The contrast between the cold canned food and the steaming fresh meat buns in the warmer is enough to make any mother worried about her child's malnutrition feel ecstatic.
It was not until then that Liu Yan felt a sense of fear.
Fortunately, fortunately she still brought her daughter here.
What was she thinking about just now? Do you actually want to give up such a good opportunity? !
Yao Yonghui rushed forward at this moment, and slapped the counter with his powerful hand. Shu Mo almost imagined that he was holding a thick stack of banknotes in his hand. "Boss, give me a drawer first."
He glanced back at his three female colleagues and thought for a moment, "I've invited them too."
Shu Mo: “…”
He hasn't even received his salary yet, but he's in such a hurry to spend the money. So, this master must have been attracted by the delicious food, right?
Just looking at Yao Yonghui's dull appearance, you can't really tell that he is a hidden foodie.
Shu Mo was a little helpless, "We don't sell fresh meat buns by the tray, and we don't sell them to employees."
Gu Xiao said "Ah", a little disappointed, "Employees can't buy it?"
"Yeah." Shu Mo nodded solemnly, walked to the counter and took out a brown paper bag, "Gu Xiao, come and learn how to put the fresh meat buns into the paper bag with a clip before handing them to the customer."
Gu Xiao trotted over.
As soon as the cabinet door was opened, the tempting aroma immediately filled the entire hall, making people salivate. Gu Xiao suppressed his hunger and packed four of them, then he heard Shu Mo call for a stop.
"Now treat them as customers?"
Gu Xiao followed her words, bent down and handed the paper bag to Liu Xueruo, "Please enjoy it slowly..."
Liu Xueruo wanted to pay belatedly, but was held back by Shu Mo.
The girl's soft fingertips rested on her cold, thin wrist. Liu Xueruo looked up and saw Shu Mo bending his beautiful eyes at her. "I was just joking. Employees can eat anything in the store. It's counted as employee benefits."
"But I still want to remind you that it's best not to eat too much now." Shu Mo let go of her. "You can eat fresh meat buns at any time, but the restaurant's dishes change every day. If you miss your favorite dishes because you eat too much, you will have to wait until next week."
She said, and walked to the stairs.
There was actually an elevator installed there.
Shu Mo pressed the up button, and not long after, the elevator car parked above moved to the first floor. With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened.
Liu Yan exclaimed, "Is there an elevator in the hotel?"
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and a look of joy appeared on her face.
It is inconvenient for Liu Xueruo to go up and down the stairs. When Liu Yan first saw this small high-rise building, she had already made up her mind to carry her daughter up and down in the future. She didn't expect that the hotel would even have such a high-tech thing as an elevator. It was really a pleasant surprise.
Shu Mo hummed, and said nonchalantly: "The family suites provided by the hotel are all on the top floor of the fifth floor. We were afraid that it would be too tiring for the elderly and children to come here in the future to go up and down, so we installed one."
Of course, before the Arctic Fox Bus started operating, there were very few elderly people and children who could come to the hot springs. Except for Haohao, all the guests in the hotel are strong adults. Shu Mo installed the elevator in advance mainly to welcome Liu Xueruo.
However, as the hotel continues to expand in the future, elevators will be necessary and will not be considered an additional expense.
*
When they reached the second floor and the elevator door opened, a strong fragrance mixed with the noise of the crowd attacked them.
This lively scene made the four of them stunned for a few seconds, and then their stomachs started to growl.
It was not yet one o'clock and the restaurant was crowded. Shu Mo asked Mo Bai to reserve seats for them by the bed in advance, saying that he wanted to hold a welcome party for the new employees.
Seeing Shu Mo leading a group of people coming over, the young man who had been waiting for a long time stood up quickly and stretched out his hand unskillfully, "Hello."
The tone was dry and stiff.
The four of them paused, looked at the boy's stern black eyes, his tightly pursed lips, and the powerful and dangerous aura that vaguely lingered around him...a thought arose in their hearts at the same time.
This colleague seems to be someone who is not easy to mess with.
Among the people present, only Shu Mo noticed the efforts that Xiao Heilong made to establish good relationships in the workplace. He patted him on the shoulder in amusement and said, "This is Mo Bai, the only employee in the store before you came. You can ask him any questions you have."
Mo Bai straightened his chest calmly.
Yao Yonghui was the first to step forward and shake hands, and Gu Xiao was the second. Before he had the chance to introduce himself, Mo Bai spoke first.
"It's our first meeting. Please advise me."
He eagerly used the social terms he had practiced.
Gu Xiao: “…”
She silently swallowed the polite words "What a coincidence, we meet again", and was a little glad that she hadn't had time to open her mouth.
The young man lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of Gu Xiao's subtle expression, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.
Shu Mo was silent for two seconds, "Mo Bai, you have met him in Guangming Town."
Still twice.
Once in the hotel and once in the market.
The little black dragon's expression froze: "..."
The first step for a socially anxious senior to integrate into the new workplace is failure.
Shu Mo was deeply moved.
Think about it, not long ago, she was still worried about how to deal with interpersonal relationships in the workplace, but now...
It must be so cool to be the boss! !
