Chapter 59
Shu Mo renovated the dormitory building and divided it into two floors.
There were fewer people before, and men and women had always lived together on the same floor. Now that the building has been expanded, Shu Mo made a distinction.
Considering that it is inconvenient for Liu Xueruo to go up and down the stairs, the girls' dormitory is located on the first floor and the boys' dormitory is on the second floor, which is exactly opposite to the villa. The stairs are built outside the building, so male employees can go upstairs directly without having to pass through the girls' dormitory.
There are ten rooms on each floor - Wenquan currently has an overwhelming number of female employees, and six rooms on the first floor are occupied. This is when Liu Yan and her daughter live in the same room, and Luo Yi and Zhao Siyu do not live in the dormitory.
There are only four boys' dormitories on the second floor, which is less than half full.
When the "interns" checked in with their bags the next day, they couldn't help but be amazed by the dormitory environment. They became more determined to stay. Their enthusiasm for practice was unprecedentedly high, and they couldn't wait to put down their bags and start immediately.
Unfortunately, Yue Wenjun has to work during the day, so teaching can only be done at night. She assigned tasks before she left, and asked them to practice independently in pairs during the day, memorizing school tables and so on. She would check and correct them one by one in the evening when Yue Wenjun came home from get off work.
Fortunately, she has excellent physical strength, so she can still have energy to tutor students at night after her hard work during the day.
Considering that this was actually reviewing rather than learning, Yue Wenjun estimated that in two or three days they would be able to reach the level of hospitality that Shu Mo required.
After comprehensive consideration, Shu Mo set the opening time of the hot spring villa to three days later.
The free time during this period is just right for recruiting the necessary personnel.
The newly built annex could not be hidden from the eyes of guests. On the day of its completion, it attracted a large crowd of onlookers, who gathered at the door out of curiosity and looked inside through the closed glass door.
There were too many people asking, and Shu Mo really didn't have time to explain them one by one, so he simply put up a sign at the door:
[Opening preparation in progress, countdown 3 days]
The number behind it changes every day.
Although they already know the opening time, players still can't help but come and take a look every day. They are so tempted that they just want to jump to three days later so that they can go in and see what is inside.
When the news of the upcoming opening of the annex spread back to the town, many people adjusted their travel plans. Rooms for the remaining days of the week are instantly in demand.
*
Four days after the fish roasting party, in the cave where the rock giant expedition team is stationed.
"Today, right?"
The deputy leader calculated the time in his heart and raised his head hopefully, "The monsters sent by the boss should be arriving soon."
The scene inside the cave was very different from a few days ago. Despair had completely disappeared, replaced by an overflowing atmosphere of happiness. The players sat together in groups of three or four, with sumptuous dishes and desserts in front of them. They were eating dinner while excitedly talking about what they had gained from fighting the rock giants today.
"I scored several critical hits today, but I ate too much. I don't know which dish had the special effect..."
"I paid special attention to it this morning. Fresh meat buns can increase strength. Lao Si, you are a fighter. Don't forget to eat two before the next fight."
"Okay. Oh, and the chili in the spicy chicken can counteract the [wet] effects of the swamp."
"? That's awesome. Eating spicy food can remove dampness. That makes sense."
"These dishes are amazing. Not only are they delicious, but they also have game effects. I wonder which god made them..."
As everyone was sighing, a wizard suddenly said mysteriously, "Speaking of this, have you noticed that the melon seeds actually have special effects?"
“Is this true or false?”
He nodded, "Well, the triggering conditions are too harsh."
The companion asked curiously: "What are the conditions?"
"——You should have noticed that the things the deputy leader brought back have to be eaten in full at once to be effective, so you have to crack a whole bag of melon seeds." The mage said, smacking his lips, "Didn't I keep watch last night? I was bored, so I cracked the whole bag, and that's how it was triggered accidentally."
companion:"……"
It's really not that harsh.
When it comes to the critical moment of fighting the boss, a meat bun can be swallowed in two bites, but how long will it take to crack these melon seeds?
"But since it's so difficult to trigger, the effect must be very powerful, right?"
Some extremely buggy effects in online games emerged in the companion's mind.
The mage nodded, looking very proud. "Did you notice that my skill release today was particularly timely and accurate?"
"It seems so..."
His companion recalled and suddenly thought of something, startled, "Could it be automatic aiming?!"
This is too buggy! !
If an archer eats it, won't every arrow he shoots in the head cause double the damage?
"What do you mean by automatic aiming?" The mage was angry. "I aimed by myself! The bag of melon seeds just played a supporting role, increasing the casting speed by 20%."
"Hmm..."
The enthusiasm of his companion was extinguished, and he sat back lazily, thinking for a while, "But it's not bad, a 20% improvement. But what's the principle?"
He was a little puzzled.
"Maybe eating too much can help you hone your tongue..." The wizard said, "It's just that I feel a little irritated."
He turned and gave his companion a tired smile, who then noticed the two large blisters on his mouth. "I can chant the spell faster, but my mouth hurts."
“…”
"Judge me!" the mage player was furious. "The effect of melon seeds is to increase the speed of chanting spells, but eating too much will cause internal heat and blisters, and if you chant too fast, your mouth will hurt! Is it fighting each other?!"
companion:"……"
He was stunned for a while and almost spit out the rice in his mouth.
“——Don’t laugh!!”
…
Compared with the canned food they had before, this group of players enjoyed the cold food with gusto. Not to mention that after eating these meals, many people were surprised to find that they had certain buffs with different effects attached to their bodies, which helped them to fight bosses.
They explored for two days and redistributed the most suitable food to each person according to their different professions. As expected, the efficiency of killing monsters was greatly improved. If we continue like this, in a day or two we will be able to defeat the rock giant whose combat power soars when his blood is red, and successfully clear a passage for the subsequent mining team.
The morale of the group was high, and the group leader and deputy group leader were finally able to relax after seeing this.
Today is the fourth day since the deputy team leader returned from the hot spring, and it is also the day he and Shu Mo agreed to place new orders on.
After defeating the rock giant, a simple mining base will have to be built nearby, so conservatively speaking, the team will have to stay for at least three to four more days.
To be on the safe side, the deputy team leader discussed with the team leader and decided to order food for another five days.
At the appointed time of 6pm, a shadow suddenly appeared outside the cave, like a low-floating cloud. When the deputy leader got closer, he found that it was a large group of snow-white fur balls huddled together.
“Chi!”
The little messengers said hello.
The host specially asked Mo Bai to act as an interpreter and repeatedly reminded him that this was a big customer and he must pay attention to his service attitude.
If you perform well, you will get melon seeds as a reward when you come back (this is the key point).
Without waiting for the deputy captain to react, eight of them, white and fluffy, flew out from the team, one holding a corner, and four supporting the bottom, and placed an A4-sized paper lightly in her hand like eight people carrying a sedan chair.
The deputy head of the group was a little frightened by the serious attitude of these little fur balls, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to take it.
The other two white fluffy ones brought a pen.
She called the head of the group and they both looked down.
The words "Order Form" were written at the top of the paper, and below it were information such as specific coordinates, recipient, delivery time, etc. that she needed to fill in herself. Further down, there was a copy of today's menu for Nuannuan Restaurant.
There are also snacks, specialties, etc. sold at the stalls downstairs, which are very simple and easy to understand.
The two of them scanned it carefully, checked the food they needed, and then filled in the corresponding numbers and pickup information. After checking, the deputy head of the group looked up and asked, "It's filled out. How do I pay?"
Infected by the serious service attitude of the Bai Rongrongs, she couldn't help but speak seriously and even used honorifics.
Leader: “…”
Although such a large transaction should be taken seriously...
But he really couldn't be serious facing these chirping little fur balls!
The white fluffy ones rarely fought each other, but lined up neatly in a small square and waited aside. The leader felt a little drunk looking at this scene.
Hearing the deputy team leader's question, a shiny white fluffy creature came up and lifted up a corner of the order form with its chubby little body.
Only then did she discover that there was a line of handwritten text on the back.
[After the order is completed, the hotel will send someone to make the transaction. Please wait patiently at the agreed time and place^^. 】
For some reason, there was a Q version of a little dragon head following behind.
The deputy team leader took a look at the small icon and thought that it might be a logo specially customized by the hotel for the express delivery service - just like the kangaroos, penguins and rabbits in the past world.
"Then I'll leave it to you." The deputy team leader handed over the order form.
The white fluffs were not in a hurry to collect them.
The two of them and the group of balls looked at each other for a while.
The silence lasted for a while, and the team leader couldn't help but ask, "Is there something missing?"
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the white fluff seemed to shyly twist and turn for a few times, then put on a round smiling face in mid-air.
The deputy head of the group said in surprise: "Ah! They are smiling at us."
She quickly smiled back at the white fluffy creatures in a friendly manner.
Bai Rongrong: “…”
The meaning was not conveyed and the little ball was not satisfied.
They thought about it, their smiles disappeared, and then they made the shape of five stars.
Deputy head: “?”
She was confused, "What does this mean?"
The team leader pondered, "They don't want us to give them a five-star rating, do they?"
Bai Rongrong: “!”
They cheerfully make a big physical exclamation mark to indicate that this is what they mean.
Deputy head: “???”
That smile just now was misplaced after all.
She flipped through the form in confusion, "But there's no place on the list to comment on the service." She looked up again and asked the white fluffy girls uncertainly, "Can I just write it on the paper?"
Another white exclamation mark appeared in the air.
Leader: “…”
It was incredible. Although the white fluffy girls didn't say anything, he could clearly feel that the tone of affirmation had become stronger.
Look at these two exclamation marks standing tall, it’s a double affirmation.
"Just write a good review for them." The team leader looked at the white fluff and said, "Write carefully."
Building good relationships with the hotel "staff" may prove helpful in the future.
"Okay." The deputy head of the group was quite straightforward.
When she lowered her head to write, the little fur balls gathered around to look at her. Their furry bodies pressed against her head and ears, feeling as soft as cotton.
If Shu Mo saw this scene, he would probably be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
In order to protect the mood of the employees, she deliberately did not design anything in the hotel to evaluate the service - but she could not stop the employees from actively asking for it in order to get bonuses.
After finishing writing, the deputy leader handed the paper to them again, and this time the white fluffs immediately sent out a few balls to collect it.
Then Gu Yong rushed twice, and the order form disappeared in a sea of white fluff. It was well protected, so there was no need to worry even if it rained on the road.
"Chirp." - This means they are leaving.
The two of them sent them to the cave entrance, and the white fluffy things teleported collectively and disappeared from sight.
*
Inside the hotel, Shu Mo's eyes blurred and a fluffy white shadow emerged.
"I'm back."
She took the completed order form from the shiny white fluffy.
When Shu Mo saw the comments carefully written by the deputy group leader at the bottom and the hand-drawn "five-star praise", he was a little confused, "This guest is a very nice person." He actually gave a proactive evaluation.
However, receiving good reviews is a good thing after all. Shu Mo took out a bag of melon seeds from his backpack, opened the seal, grabbed a handful, and said with a smile: "Good performance, keep up the good work."
The white fluffy ones accepted it happily.
After rewarding the hotel's courier, Shu Mo got up and went to the restaurant. He checked the items on the order list and purchased them one by one. Then he went to find the delivery man - the one whose logo was printed on the hotel's express delivery service.
He handed the items to Mo Bai and told him to deliver the goods according to the coordinates above. The next day, the little black dragon, who received the delivery task, set off with a lot of things.
Shu Mo stood at the door of the hotel, waving a handkerchief and watching Mo Bai disappear in the wind and snow.
It happened to be a blizzard that day, and the weather in the game was bad with extremely low visibility. Ordinary players couldn't even walk steadily in the wind. A large group of players who were forced to stay behind to rest gathered in the restaurant. On the rock giant side, the official team's monster-killing mission was also forced to suspend.
They stayed in the cave, looking at the wind and snow outside, feeling worried.
"I don't know if the people sent by the hotel are okay."
"This weather should stop the delivery."
"We have enough left to last another day. If that doesn't work, we can use canned food as a cushion. But we must not let our employees get into any accidents on the road."
A blizzard in the game doesn't just mean bad weather, it also means an increase in monsters, shorter daylight hours, abnormal status debuffs, and greater susceptibility to sneak attacks, among other drawbacks.
There are even special monsters that only appear in extreme weather, and they are much stronger than ordinary monsters.
In this kind of weather, even camping in the wild is scary, let alone going out.
Besides, the hotel is half a day's journey away from their camp.
These are all advanced leveling areas with complex terrain. Last time, the deputy team leader and two elite subordinates walked together very carefully, comparing maps along the way and bypassing many dangerous places. But in this blizzard, let alone distinguishing the terrain and avoiding danger, it is good enough not to get lost.
"I don't think he'll come..."
At around three or four in the afternoon, the sky was getting dark. Just as they were preparing to discuss how to distribute the remaining food, a vague figure suddenly appeared in the heavy snow.
"Wait, something is coming."
“…Is it a human??”
The deputy head rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
The cold wind howled outside the cave, and in the thin daylight, they gradually saw the appearance of the person coming.
He is still a very young-looking boy.
"Oh my God, come in quickly." The deputy captain was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After he reacted, he hurriedly led several of his men to meet them.
The moment they walked out of the cave, the strong wind blew snowflakes all over their faces. One of them staggered. "Damn, the wind is stronger than this morning! How did you get here?"
In the short few tens of seconds that they came out to pick up people, a layer of snow piled up on their heads and bodies, their cheeks were frozen red, and they looked miserable. The deputy captain entered the cave and brushed off the snow on his body. When he was about to hand the boy a towel, he found that he looked unusually clean.
The snowflakes that floated into the cave fell on his eyelashes and melted away silently. Without his winter hat, Mo Bai's cheeks and ears were all as white as usual, as if he had just walked out of the room.
……wrong.
"Why did you take off your winter hat!!" the deputy leader cried out, "Put it on quickly! This is not a hot spring, it's just as cold inside and outside the cave!"
She hurriedly put Mo Bai's hat on and wrapped him tightly.
Mo Bai, who had put on the winter clothes to hide his identity, was almost sweating all the way: "..."
I finally got to the place and thought I could finally get some fresh air, but I ended up being wrapped up like a big dumpling again.
The deputy group leader was still sighing with the group leader, "Young people are just fiery-tempered. Look at this rosy complexion. He looks really good."
——He was clearly covered up.
The mighty fire dragon was shrouded in heavy winter clothing, not making a single sound.
I'm almost fainting from the heat.
"But the boss is too careless. In this kind of weather, he only sent one person out to deliver the goods." The team leader looked at Mo Bai. It was really hard to imagine that a boy of this age was already an elite player.
"Did they send summoned beasts to provide protection?" The deputy leader thought this guess was more likely.
When they saw that group of white fluffy creatures yesterday, they knew that the boss must be a summoner with pretty good strength.
But when she looked over, she didn't see anything else coming with Mo Bai.
The two looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Mo Bai spoke at this time, "I came here alone."
Leader & Vice Leader: “!!”
The subordinates at the side widened their eyes, looked outside the cave, then looked at the boy who looked a generation younger than them, and stammered, "You, you are alone...?"
Is he still human? ?
Mo Bai said "hmm" and didn't seem to take it seriously. He rummaged around in the storage space and took out the packed food, which instantly filled a large area of the floor. He then found a pen and an order form and handed them to the deputy team leader, "If everything is correct, please sign below."
Everyone in the cave was still standing there, not moving a muscle.
Continue to doubt life.
Why would this hotel employee make such a nonchalant statement about a snowstorm with a travel mortality rate of over 90%?
...Are they too delicate?
The deputy team leader subconsciously took the list handed to him, lowered his head, and just caught a glimpse of the little black dragon logo.
I didn't notice it yesterday, but when I looked carefully today, I found that there was a line of small words at the bottom.
【Longlong Express Delivery, Mission Accomplished】
Deputy head: “…”
What the best delivery service ever! !
