Chapter 42
Although the foursome missed the opening of the Arctic Fox bus, they did get to ride in a mini version of the Arctic Fox sedan.
No, judging by the size, it should be a six-seater Arctic Fox Baby Bus.
The foursome were still in a daze until the mimic opened the car door according to Shu Mo's instructions and let them get out of the car by stepping on the soft big tail pad.
After several consecutive shocks, they were not shocked when they saw the small wooden house standing on the snowy field.
The warm wind with a smell of sulfur blew towards us, awakening the four ice sculptures.
It was noon, and it was a busy time. As soon as Mo Bai got off the car, he stood in front of the oden stall very consciously, and glanced at the four people with a cold look, "Did anyone of you just say that you want to eat oden and candied haws? Would you like one?"
The young man trembled, "You, you can do it for us?"
Although their view was blocked by the dead assassin player and they could not see Mo Baijin's golden pupils, they witnessed with their own eyes how he knocked the assassin player down with just two punches.
Such a master...actually came to make oden for them?
What magical realism is this.
Young people’s minds are full of “who am I”, “where am I”, and “I am not worthy”.
But thinking about how he just stepped out of the car on the tail of a suspected S-level monster, he felt that it all seemed reasonable.
A girl plucked up her courage and said, "I want an oden. Can I choose?"
Mo Bai pointed at the display board next to him with the iron tongs, "Sure, there are varieties here. There is also a restaurant upstairs, so I don't recommend you eat too much."
The two girls linked their arms and came forward to take a look.
The young men hesitated for a few seconds and then followed.
They didn't dare to let Mo Bai wait any longer, so they made their choices quickly and followed the advice. Each person only ordered four skewers to taste the flavor. Mo Bai put the food into the pot and started cooking.
"It will take ten minutes. You can sit on the chair next to it for a while." He said concisely.
The young man couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, are you an employee here?"
Mo Bai, who was about to go back into the house to check the situation, stopped when he heard this. The young man inexplicably felt like he had been waiting for this question for a long time.
The young man straightened his chest calmly, and his silver work badge reflected the sunlight as he moved.
"I'm the foreman." said the little black dragon.

Ever since he discovered that he could send reminders to all guests through the management panel, whenever there was any major update to the hotel, Shu Mo would send an email to everyone, just like releasing a system notification in a game.
Of course, whenever guest rooms need to be repaired and guests need to go out and wait, there will be measures similar to compensation for service suspension.
——Just like the mango glutinous rice balls.
This time the Arctic Fox bus officially opened for business, and Shu Mo also sent a message to everyone.
In the family suite on the fifth floor, Jiang Qing looked at the sudden reminder, "It seems that the hotel is going to start a round-trip bus."
"There are two round trips a day. There is one at 9:00 a.m. and one at 2:00 p.m. from the hotel to Guangming Town. There is one at 11:00 a.m. and one at 4:00 p.m. from the town to the hotel..." Fu Yiming was also watching.
Halfway through, he couldn't help but click his tongue, "If there is only one car, and considering the time it takes to get on and off the passengers, doesn't that mean the one-way trip only takes a little over an hour? Where on earth did the boss get the car from?"
Fu Yiming's mind was full of question marks.
But I also know that all the unreasonable things in the game will become reasonable in Shu Mo's hands.
Jiang Qing flipped through the instructions under the long message, and a look of joy appeared on his face. "30 points for a one-way trip, very cheap, and it seems that hotel guests can take the return bus for free."
Being able to shorten a half-day journey to just one hour is extremely convenient for guests with children.
And it only costs 30 points. Even if there is no free return trip clause, Jiang Qing is willing to take the ride.
Fu Yiming and his wife had the same idea. He sincerely said, "The boss is very generous," and then asked, "Why don't we go back to town tomorrow?"
"That's what I thought, too." Jiang Qing nodded. "I left in a hurry before, and didn't expect to stay so long. I forgot to take a lot of clothes and Haohao's toys. Why not take them all together this time when I go back?"
She looked at the instructions. "The first trip is at 9 a.m. The restaurant will open in the morning and I can have breakfast before I get on the road. This arrangement is quite considerate. After picking up my things, I can pack up and take the afternoon trip back."
"Okay!"
Fu Yiming walked over and picked up his son, "Haohao, get ready, we'll go home tomorrow!"
I thought Haohao would be reluctant to leave such a comfortable place temporarily, but I didn't expect him to raise his head and say, "Really?"
Fu Yiming: "Oh, you are so happy? Are you missing Xiaoyi and Momo?"
Xiaoyi and Momo are both Haohao’s good friends. It’s been almost a week since they last saw each other. They had never been apart for so long before.
Haohao nodded vigorously, "Yes! Can I bring them some food? They didn't get to eat the candied haws before!"
"The boss seemed to have said before that as long as it is not a secondary sale, gifts are acceptable." Jiang Qing thought about it.
But it still can't compare to the taste of eating it on site.
Fu Yiming: "Then let's bring some candied haws and milk tea, which don't matter whether they are hot or cold, to give to Haohao's good friends."
As for Jiang Qing and his friends...
Among the things currently sold in the hotel, apart from hot food which is more affected by temperature, there are not many options left. Fu Yiming's impression of souvenirs still remains in the period before the game. He always feels that they have to be exquisite and high-end. Things like candied haws and pearl milk tea seem a bit childish.
After struggling for a long time, Jiang Qing finally made the decision, "Just take a few bowls of Tremella and Snow Pear Soup and iced latte back."
In the last days, people are lucky to have something to eat and drink. Why should they be picky?
The two of them immediately set off to the restaurant to take away lattes. But as soon as I went down to the second floor, I saw a long line in front of the beverage area.
"It seems that everyone has the same idea." Jiang Qing smacked his lips.
Fu Yiming is tall, and he saw at a glance that the young female waiter at the bar at the end of the line was busy as hell.
The line was motionless, but there were more than a dozen cups of iced lattes and iced milk tea piled up in the serving area. He was wondering who had ordered the meal and didn't pick it up in time, when he saw that as a new cup of milk tea was ready, the customer at the head of the line waved his hand, and more than a dozen drinks disappeared in an instant.
Fu Yiming: "..."
This was all ordered by the same person? ?
He took another look at the long line and suddenly felt hopeless.
How long will it take to arrange this?
...Does everyone have so many friends? !

Chen Hui's team happened to be in the restaurant at noon today.
The rooms at Inn T were too expensive, so they only stayed there on the first day, and then went to more distant areas to look for suitable groups of monsters to hunt. At night, we just found a random place to set up camp - after having stayed in the warm and soft big bed in the hotel, any place we stayed would be just a place to make do.
It was yesterday that they met a group of acquaintances on the road. When they heard that the hotel had opened a new beverage area, Song Wei and her friends hurried back.
This trip has taken a long time, and tomorrow is the day to go back to the city to trade materials and spend time with relatives, so they also plan to buy some things to take back today.
As a result, we caught the news that the Arctic Fox Bus was officially in operation.
"It only takes one hour one way, with elite players accompanying us as escorts, it's absolutely safe, and it only costs 30 points per person..." Zhao Yu was holding his milk tea, dazzled by the sight, and felt that every route was so unreal, "Captain, why don't we take this back tomorrow?"
After a few seconds, without receiving a reply, Zhao Yu looked up in confusion, only to find that many members of the team were stunned.
They stared at the light screen floating in the air with fiery eyes.
The female team member who already had a child murmured, "Captain, I want to apply for a vacation after returning to the city this time."
"And me." Song Wei raised her hand hesitantly.
Chen Hui closed his eyes, suppressed his inner eagerness, and said calmly, "No need to apply. I also have some personal matters to attend to. I will take a three-day rest after returning to the city this time."
After saying that, the team members looked at each other, and suddenly they all stood up and ran towards the restaurant entrance.
"Damn it, don't push!"
"Don't think I can't see what you're up to! Are you planning to snatch the family suite from me for tomorrow night? The boss just said there's only one room left with a hot spring!"
"Let me go first. I have children at home who are older than you. Do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young?"
"I have elderly parents and young children to take care of! My parents are already 70 years old. Can you bear to see them squeeze into a big bathhouse?"
The brothers and sisters went out swearing and pushing each other without any manners, leaving Zhao Yu disheveled in the wind.
Zhao Yu: "Ah?"
So other people take leave to bring their families to the hot springs?
She was still holding a half-finished bubble tea in her hand. She was stunned for a long while before she reacted. She stomped her feet and rushed out as well. "Wait for me! There are five people in my family. I should stay in the family suite!"

"Shuttle bus?"
On the other side, all the members of Song’s 4th team, who were fully armed, looked happy.
"That's great! There will be buses for pick-up, so everyone can run at the same speed and no longer have to worry about not being able to grab a vacant room."
So touching!
One of them scratched his head, feeling somewhat guilty, "I didn't expect the boss to come up with a solution so quickly..."
He was the one who yelled at Shu Mo in the lobby about how unfair it was when the hotel was expanding.
At that time, Shu Mo responded that he would solve it as soon as possible, and his words were sincere, but he thought it would take at least ten days or half a month... Unexpectedly, after only a few days, the boss even came up with a delivery bus.
This immediately made him feel very guilty about his previous behavior.
The sturdy man stammered and asked his companion for advice, "What should I do? Should I book a room for two more days to help the boss? I can also bring my wife over for a vacation."
The companion heard this and sneered, "Does he need you to take care of the business? If you want to bring your sister-in-law to live here, you'd better hurry up and grab a room. Didn't you hear that the lobby is so lively..."
Strong man: “!!!”
He woke up as if from a dream and got up quickly.

The emergence of the Arctic Fox Bus and the promise of "elite players' full-time protection and absolute safety" finally brought ordinary players into Shu Mo's customer base.
Especially for those high-level players who feel uneasy because they are the only ones who can enjoy it and who have been restraining their desire to consume, now they have a reason to spend lavishly.
Chen Hui's team was not an isolated case. Most players rushed to the first floor as soon as they saw the notification, wanting to book a guest room for their family.
Suddenly, the hall was packed with people.
Shu Mo had just expanded before the end of the novice period and doubled the number of guest rooms, but the first wave of hotel craze had passed, and the spending power of high-level players had declined. Several rooms were still empty, but now they were fully booked including for tomorrow night.
Some people didn't get a room and could only regretfully book rooms for the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Another group of people thought of new problems.
"By the way, Boss, can I book tickets here? What if the room is booked but the tickets are sold out?"
Shu Mo was actually a little distressed.
Without the Internet, everything seems so inconvenient.
The train tickets are actually not a big problem, but the room reservation is the big problem.
The current hotel booking model is really chaotic.
In the future, if a guest pays for a round-trip ticket, but arrives to find that there are no rooms available, wouldn’t that be a waste of time and money?
——She had actually thought about this problem a long time ago, but with the opening of the Arctic Fox Bus, it is foreseeable that more ordinary players who cannot camp outside will come to the hot springs in the future, and the need to change the hotel booking method has become more urgent.
Shu Mo thought for a moment and made a decision.
"The bus can carry up to 100 passengers and there are two round trips a day, so there shouldn't be a problem of no seats for the time being."
"In addition, the hotel will open room reservations for the current week every Monday and will no longer support reservations more than a week in advance. Every time the bus arrives in Guangming Town, residents can ask the accompanying staff for real-time updates on the reservation status of the week, or they can book a room directly in the town through our staff."
"The above changes to the room reservation method will be announced to everyone later and will also be updated on the Guangming Town bulletin board."
Opening up reservations in town instead of allowing guests to check in immediately upon arrival at the hotel would definitely give rise to scalper business, and Shu Mo had already thought of a solution to this.
However, we still need to test its feasibility first.
She has begun to look forward to how much passenger traffic the opening of the bus will bring.
