Chapter 133 Inn
Lu Zheng was somewhat thankful at this moment. Fortunately, he had not decided between water and electricity before. If he had chosen water directly, his hotel would not be able to receive any guests until the fourth shared function could be selected after 100 days.
Because there was no plug for the screen on the counter, even if he took out the generator, he didn't know how to connect it to the power supply.
So, Lu Zheng behind the counter turned his head and looked at Shu Fu.
Shu Fu understood immediately, made an OK gesture to him, and then returned to her villa.
When she went back this time, the big guy, the braided guy, and the Xu Tingfeng brothers also followed her to her rear deck. They were going to unload the luggage of the six people in the car.
Although they put some stackable items into Lu Zheng's backpack, the backpack space was limited after all. Lu Zheng had stockpiled a lot of supplies over the past ten months, so most of the luggage was placed in the back of the jeep and pickup truck.
After everyone's luggage was unloaded onto Lu Zheng's raft, Shu Fu was asked to help put away the two cars so that they would not have to occupy her raft deck all the time.
Shu Fu went back to the villa first and selected the second and third sharing functions: sewage treatment and electric energy. When she came out, the four people who were carrying the luggage had already run back and forth. The two rafts were too close, so they stood on the deck on this side and threw the luggage directly to the deck on the other side.
After confirming that all the luggage was moved out, Shu Fu put their two cars into a compact display cabinet, which was divided into compartments. Cars and other means of transportation naturally had to be kept separate from food and supplies.
Everyone else thanked Shu Fu and went back to Lu Zheng's raft to figure out how to check in. Only Xu Jiechu had an "I don't want to leave" look on his face, racking his brains to think of the most interesting small talk quotes to attract Shu Fu's attention as much as possible.
As a result, he had just said his opening remarks when Shu Fu looked at him with a smile and said, "I was just teasing you last time. I don't plan to marry into your family!"
After she finished speaking, she waved at him and turned back into the villa.
Leaving Xu Jiechu standing there, Erkang held his hand: "...tonic~~Sister Shu Fu! You are my only sister——"
Xu Tingfeng really didn't want to pay attention to his younger brother, but he couldn't just let him go crazy on someone else's raft. In the end, he resisted the urge to "murder his own brother" and grabbed his collar and dragged him back to Lu Zheng's raft.
**
Inside the Drifting Island House, Shu Fu changed the room type, exchanging the classic S-class house type back to the small Drifting Island House.
At present, her friend has not yet completed the check-in process. It seems that something new has occurred there, and the check-in process has been stuck again, so she cannot open the drift bottle protective cover for the time being. Although the nearby mountains are deserted, the villa is too conspicuous and it is not suitable to be exposed for a long time, so it is better for her to return to a low profile.
After she changed the house type, she posted several more announcements on the function screen.
【Notice 1】Electricity supply periods (daily): 7:00-8:00, 11:00-12:00, 17:00-19:00, 21:00-22:00; there is no limit on the amount of electricity during the power supply period.
[Notice 2] In five minutes, the raft will enter drifting mode at a speed of 15 km/h. Please be careful and do not linger near the water on the raft deck to avoid accidentally falling into the water.
[Notice 3] Guests who have checked in can take a rest. We will have a barbecue party on the back deck of the villa tonight. The venue and barbecue water are sponsored by Shu Fu.
After posting it, she found that she could choose a certain announcement to be pinned permanently, so she pinned the one about the electricity supply period.
After a while, Shu Fu went to the bathroom, took off his raincoat, washed his hands and wiped his face. When he came out through the back door, he heard cheers coming from the two rafts behind him.
She smiled, checked the inventory in her space, and decided to try to use up some of her inventory before the next ten-draw. She had just accumulated four draws so far, so she would hold back.
Yao Ruoyun's family was in charge of the planting, while Lu Zheng and his brother were in charge of the hotel. Shu Fu was happy to have some free time, so she just lay down on the sofa and prepared to watch some TV series. When she lay down, because her sleeves were pulled up high, she accidentally glanced at the bracelet on her left wrist, and then she found that the "notebook" icon on it was actually lit.
She sat up again in an instant.
"Notebook" represents tasks, but usually, every time a task comes, the bracelet will not only vibrate to remind you, but this icon will also flash repeatedly, which is extremely eye-catching.
It was very rare for only one icon to light up like now. She quickly took out the small black notebook, opened it and found that there was indeed new content on it.
[Congratulations! The hidden task "Bracelet Unlock" has been activated! ]
[The current unlocking progress of the bracelet is 20%. You will get a "special reward" when the bracelet is 100% unlocked. ]
Probably because it is a hidden task, only the task name and progress data are mentioned above, without mentioning the specific content of the task and the completion process.
However, she could roughly guess the content of the task with a little thought. She was sure that the icon on the bracelet lit up only after Lu Zheng and his team arrived. During this period, she towed Lu Zheng's raft, plus Yao Ruoyun's original raft, which made exactly two rafts - perhaps, this corresponded to the 20% progress.
Shu Fu lay on the sofa, raising her left hand and looking at the silver bracelet on it.
It all started with this bracelet. One morning in the autumn of the year before last, she woke up to find a bracelet on her wrist, and then a complete memory of another world appeared in her mind.
So now, what she is about to solve - could it be the biggest mystery of the world and herself?
If you unlock the bracelet 100%, you will get a "special reward". What will it be?
Also, to reach 100% of the progress bar, does that mean she has to complete the towing of ten rafts?
But now there are only six people on her list of towable rafts. She thought that only one person could not be contacted, but she didn't expect that Zheng Feifei would lose contact. Currently, there are only five people on her raft list and even fewer towing spaces. It seems that this is another task that cannot be completed in the short term.
Even so, she was not in a hurry. After all, she had just gone through a long task and her patience was much better than before.
Of course, it could also be because she was already towing two rafts and using two upgrade sets. There were so many colorful new things that made her curious and her attention was diverted, so she was naturally in a good mood.
Shu Fu was still curious about how the hotel checked in. This was different from Yao Ruoyun's plantation house. After all, it was a commercial upgrade package, so check-in must be paid. If it was free and there was no operating income, how would the hotel develop and upgrade in the future?
So, she watched some variety shows on the sofa, finished half a box of cherries, and then couldn't help but go to the back door and look back through the glass on the door.
After the raft was changed to the starting house type, the rear deck became much smaller, and the distance between the hut and Lu Zheng's raft became much closer. At the open door of the hotel building, the people who were originally crowded in the lobby had disappeared.
Shu Fu opened the door, took an umbrella from the hanging under the eaves, put on her slippers and held the umbrella as she went to Lu Zheng's raft at the back.
**
Sure enough, the lobby and counter inside the gate that were originally crowded with friends were now half empty. Apart from the Lu Zheng brothers, there were only the Xu Tingfeng brothers in the rest area in the lobby. Yao Ruoyun should have returned to her raft.
On the counter, Lan Lan was lying there quietly, with what seemed to be a dark brown collar around her neck.
Brother Xu Tingfeng was standing in front of the unique metal cabinet with sliding doors and a display screen next to the rest bench. Perhaps because Shu Fu was equipped with an electric card and there was electricity here, the cabinet was currently lit.
Xu Tingfeng pressed a few times on the display screen above, then leaned his face forward and focused his eyes on a certain part of the screen for a few seconds.
Then, the sliding door of the metal cabinet opened, and Xu Tingfeng put the cans in his hand. After a while, the sliding door closed again, and after a few beeps, the sliding door opened again. The items that Xu Tingfeng had originally put in were gone, replaced by a dark brown silicone wristband.
The wristband is similar to a bracelet, with a little elasticity, and can be put directly on the wrist. There is a larger part in the middle, similar to a watch dial.
After Xu Tingfeng put the wristband on his wrist, he tapped the dial in the middle a few times, and then said to Lu Zheng: "I just put in three cans of luncheon meat, and I got 50 raft points in exchange. It seems that the exchange rate of this raft point exchanger is similar to the current situation in the outside world. Generally speaking, water, medicines, supplies and gold are the first tier, followed by some daily necessities..."
It is obvious that the items exchanged by other people before Xu Tingfeng were different, so he can now draw conclusions from the analysis.
Lu Zheng had already seen Shu Fu and wanted to come over, but Shu Fu signaled him to go ahead and do his thing first. She just came over to join in the fun.
Xu Jiechu, who had already exchanged his raft points, was now focusing on the counter, asking Lu Ce to check him in. Lu Ce had already checked in other people, and his movements were quite skillful. He tapped on the electronic screen on the counter. After a while, the dark brown silicone wristband on Xu Jiechu's wrist beeped twice.
Lu Ce looked up and said with a smile: "Dear guest, your room has been opened. Please go to the right. The room number is 103. Please put your wristband close to the door lock to open the door. The door lock will automatically recognize your biometric information. Please manage the hygiene of the room by yourself during your stay. Be sure to take away your garbage when you check out. The check-out time is 12 noon three days later. If you need to extend the time, please inform the front desk one day in advance-"
It was obvious that Lu Ce was treating this as a hotel management game. Not only did he use standard words, but he also used smiles and actions. However, Xu Jiechu had seen this look three times in a row and heard the same words three times, so he didn't tease him this time.
He was a little impatient. After hearing his room number clearly, he immediately picked up a few large travel bags beside him and rushed to the corridor on the right.
His room faced the front of the raft and was on the right side, facing the rear deck of Shu Fu's raft. It was obviously chosen deliberately.
Afterwards, Xu Tingfeng also checked in. The two brothers, like the big guy with pigtails, each had a single room, occupying all four single rooms on the first floor.
Yue Dong and Jiang Dai naturally asked for a double room. Jiang Dai preferred rooms on higher floors with better views. Finally, Lu Ce chose 301 for them. The window also faced the front of the raft, but it was on the corridor on the left side of the third floor.
From that angle you can see a large area of water in front and on the sides, and the view is great.
There were five rooms for six guests in total. After Lu Zheng and Lu Ce figured out how to check in, what to use for check-in, and how to exchange, all the work was done in about half an hour.
"Sister Fu Fu!" Lu Ce came up to her happily.
Shu Fu was standing in front of the metal cabinet, studying it, while Lu Zheng was explaining to her that the wristband would embed the customer's biometric information after scanning the fingerprint and pupil. If the customer lost it, it would be unusable even if someone else picked it up.
They have tried it by having another person hold one person's wristband to open the door of a locked room, but found that it did not work and the wristband owner had to hold the wristband to open the door.
In addition, there is a mark on the screen that if the wristband is lost, you can apply for a new one at any redemption machine, and all the original raft points in it will be transferred to the new wristband. However, the replacement of the new wristband will not be free like the first time, and 5 raft points will be deducted.
"Raft points?" Shu Fu looked at the electronic screen curiously.
"Yes." Lu Zheng clicked the electronic screen and brought her to the initial page. "Before redeeming, there are very detailed instructions. It mentions 'raft points' and clearly states that all raft facilities can be consumed with raft points... In addition to the simple room check-in, I have checked the hotel's operation screen, which also allows recruiting employees, and there are some facilities that can be unlocked later, such as landscape plants, courtyard swings, vending machines, laundry and drying rooms, multi-functional kitchens...
In addition to the raft points requirement, one of the conditions for unlocking the vending machine is to purchase a batch of supplies from any raft. I feel that this is linked to Yao Ruoyun's planting raft next door. The "raft points" in this wristband can be used to continue to purchase fruits and vegetables from the planting raft through the vending machine. In this way, Yao Ruoyun can grow crops for a fee, and my hotel can buy fresh fruits and vegetables, and then sell them to hotel guests through the vending machine. "
Lu Zheng said, showing his wrist, which also had a wristband on it, but it was not dark brown, but ice blue. "I have just tried it with my brother, and we can both use supplies to exchange raft points and wristbands. The different colors should be due to our identities. We are both hotel operators, and they are guests. Yao Ruoyun can also exchange, and her wristband is also ice blue."
Shu Fu remembered the collar on Lan Lan's neck and gestured: "Can it also be exchanged for points?"
"It's a bit special. You can only input your biometric information to exchange for a collar, and then you can enter and exit the small building freely, just like before. Lu Ce and I can exchange supplies for raft points, but probably because this hotel is ours and our residence is here, we can't spend points to check in at our own hotel. But since we can exchange, it means that these points must be useful, so I guess that rafts with different functions can trade with each other in the future...
These raft upgrade kits are far more complex and sophisticated than I originally thought, but they all make sense. We are just getting started, and I guess we may develop into an ecological society in the future, provided that we manage the inn well and upgrade it slowly..."
After Lu Zheng's detailed explanation and demonstration, Shu Fu quickly understood the basic rules after the raft was installed with the business upgrade kit.
These “raft points” can be exchanged for any physical items. As long as the physical items are large enough to fit into the sliding door of the metal cabinet, they can be exchanged for “raft points”.
It’s just that how many points can be exchanged is determined by the exchange machine, but based on their one-to-one tests, the exchange ratio is fair.
For example, just now Xu Tingfeng took three cans of meat and exchanged them for 50 raft points, but now the hotel charges 10 points per day for a single room.
The room rate was set by Lu Zheng himself. The electronic screen on the counter and the electronic function screen in their residence can be used to determine the hotel room accommodation fee. The selection limit for a single room is 10-20 raft points per day, and the selection limit for a double room is 15-30 raft points per day.
Now they set the lowest price, single room 10 a day, double room 15 a day. Obviously, if two people are together, it is more cost-effective to live in a double room, but Xu Tingfeng doesn't want to squeeze into a room with his brother, and the two big men, the big guy and the pigtailed head, don't want to do it even more.
The main thing is that the price point is really not expensive. Lu Zheng and his team have been very thorough in their concessions, and all pricing is at the lowest standard.
By this calculation, three cans of meat can be used to stay in the hotel for five days. Such a clean, tidy, brand new, independent room with modern supporting facilities is really cheap.
What's more, this hotel is located on a mobile hotel floating on the water with unlimited sea views. It is the only one on the entire planet.
Seeing Shu Fu staring at the screen on the metal cabinet in a daze, Lu Zheng thought that he had set the price too low, which might affect Shu Fu's plans for the raft construction. He was about to say that he could adjust the price to the highest level at any time, but he saw Shu Fu stretch out her finger and tap on the screen. After her fingerprint was entered, she moved her face close to the screen and aligned her eyes with it.
Only then did he realize that she also wanted to exchange raft points.
Shu Fu really wanted to exchange the points. After all, everyone else had that wristband, and she would seem to be out of fashion if she didn't change to one.
Moreover, she also wanted to see what color the wristband she exchanged would be.
After the biometric information scan, Shu Fu lifted her right sleeve and prepared to put the wristband on it. However, Lu Ce was sharp-eyed and immediately saw the exposed bracelet. He said happily: "Isn't this the peace knot bracelet my brother made for you? Sister Fu Fu, are you still wearing it?"
Shu Fu hummed and turned around: "Of course I have to wear it to keep myself safe." As she spoke, she pulled out the mint-colored sachet hanging with a black leather string from her collar, "I also carry your sister Chen Fa's!"
Although she looked calm and calm without any ambiguity, Lu Zheng still couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Shu Fu's attention was soon drawn to the metal cabinet in front of him again.
She remembered that after others entered their biometric information, the door of the metal cabinet should have opened, but why did the sliding door not open after she entered it?
She was about to ask Lu Zheng when she suddenly heard a noise from the metal cabinet in front of her. It began to play a lively and joyful song that everyone in Hua had heard and could sing.
Along with the cheerful background music of "Good Luck Comes--", the electronic screen of the metal cabinet began to flash colorful lights, and then a sincere electronic sound rang out in a rhythmic manner: Welcome the unsinkable owner of the drifting island house to our hotel. You can choose to stay in any of the vacant rooms in the hotel. I hope you can spend a wonderful time in our hotel!
Behind the electronic sound is simulated applause, coupled with the repetitive background sound of "Good Luck Comes". A metal cabinet is actually portrayed with a strong sense of flattery.
Lu Zheng: ...
Lutze: ...
The big guy and the braided man who were led out by "Good Luck Comes--" to watch the fun poked their heads out from the corridor on the left: ...
On the right corridor, the Xu brothers also leaned out half of their bodies with shocked expressions: ...
Shu Fu: ...
