An Ge stood in front of the dilapidated thatched hut, her mind still reeling from another round of condemnation of the system.
This is what a resort hotel that promised a relaxing, retirement-like life of petting cats and walking dogs looks like?
This is downright advertising fraud!
A strong gust of wind blew, making the simple fence creak and groan. The signboard that read "Xianyuan Inn" swayed precariously under the dim light, as if it were about to "pass away" at any moment.
In front of the inn was a muddy path, overgrown with weeds due to long-term neglect. As far as the eye could see, there wasn't a trace of human habitation.
As the sun sets, the inn hidden in the jungle appears increasingly eerie, like the Lanruo Temple from the classic Chinese novel *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*.
An Ge shuddered and quickly pushed open the gate. Fortunately, although the gate was old and dilapidated, it was within the inn's grounds, making An Ge absolutely safe.
As soon as she entered the shop, the unease that had been lingering over her vanished, allowing An Ge to breathe a sigh of relief.
Since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it. At least she had a second life, was several years younger, and owned her own property. The system had said she could open an inn entirely on her own whim, without any punishment.
The previous life was complicated enough; in this life, An Ge chooses to lie down and relax.
Pushing open the door, the entire interior was laid out before you.
To the left is a cash register, and to the right is a row of empty shelves with two simple tables casually placed. Further inside are the kitchen, storage room, and restrooms. The entire front area is small, and with the tables and chairs, it feels somewhat cramped.
To Ange's surprise, the shop was actually powered on. A wall lamp cast a faint glow, filling the room and dispelling Ange's unease.
As for the underlying principles, An Ge had absolutely no curiosity. So many unscientific things had already happened; these minor details were no longer worth worrying about.
To the left is Ange's living area, which is more simply furnished: a single bed, a desk by the window, a few clothes hooks on the wall, and a bathroom.
An Ge breathed a sigh of relief. Although the room was small, it had everything she needed, and some small daily necessities were also prepared.
To the right of the lobby are the guest rooms, currently there are only two rooms, and they are still simply furnished.
An Ge's eyes lit up when she opened the system store. The categories were very complete, covering all aspects of life, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and even weapons. It was like a Taobao with a more complete supply.
Ange glanced through the list and found that most of the items were grayed out, indicating that purchasing them was currently restricted.
Looking at the price again, An Ge couldn't help but purse her lips. She knew the system wouldn't be so kind; just one egg cost 10 points. Keep in mind, her initial capital was only 500 points.
An Ge felt increasingly distressed as she looked at the photos. The woman's desire to shop had awakened, but being short of money was truly painful.
An Ge, who had originally intended to give it a rest, surprisingly had the idea of putting in a little more effort.
An Ge shook her head, immediately dispelling the terrible thought.
Oh well, I'll just leave it to fate. Fortunately, as the shop owner, she can eat three meals a day for free provided by the system, so survival isn't a problem for now.
A sudden gust of wind picked up outside, and An Ge quickly closed the doors and windows. Although no one would break in without permission, closing them gave her a greater sense of security.
crackling sounds...
Soon, the sky turned completely dark, and a heavy rain began to pour down.
It must be said that the quality of the thatched huts produced by the system is excellent; even in such heavy rain, the thatched huts did not leak at all.
An Ge had thought she would have trouble sleeping on her first night in this strange world, but to her surprise, listening to the rain outside the window made her feel exceptionally at ease.
After a good night's sleep, Ange woke up to find it still pouring rain outside.
An Ge felt a slight chill and wrapped her clothes tighter around herself.
He was in the starting village, wearing only the simplest coarse cloth robe given to him by the system.
The store has clothes, but she can't afford them yet.
The system is as stingy as ever, not even offering a new player gift pack.
"This is truly a sad story!" An Ge sighed, looking up at the sky.
Breakfast was unsurprisingly ordinary, but it tasted surprisingly delicious.
As expected of products from the system, they are always of high quality.
After breakfast, Ange hung up the sign that read "Open for Business" and began her first day of business.
"bite!"
A mechanical voice came through, and An Ge opened the management interface, where she saw a message in the upper right corner.
This inexplicably reminded her of a simulation game she used to play. She was currently running an inn, wasn't that just a real-life simulation management game?
Thinking about it this way, An Ge felt a little excited. As a homebody, she was really living life to the fullest this time.
An Ge opened the message and carefully read the task issued by the system: "Congratulations, host, you have started business. We look forward to the arrival of guests. Task issued: Receive 3 guests. Task reward: 300 points, automatic cleaning robot, one lottery ticket. Current task progress: 0/3."
Looking at the reward from the automatic cleaning robot, An Ge was delighted. She considered herself a lazy person, so this reward couldn't have come at the right time.
"Boom!" A clap of thunder interrupted An Ge's thoughts.
"How can there be guests in this godforsaken place?" An Ge looked at the rain through the dimly lit window, feeling worried.
She was completely clueless about the world, and judging from her clothes, she must be from an ancient society.
Who in ancient times would come to such a remote mountain forest? Besides, this shop doesn't look very legitimate.
The system is really exceptionally "thoughtful"! An Ge thought to herself speechlessly.
Just as An Ge had predicted, the heavy rain continued for the next few days. An Ge couldn't see a single person, not even a ghost.
Ange's heart also went through a transformation from anticipation, anxiety, and irritability to indifference, composure, and happiness.
With no desires or wants, one possesses boundless magical power!
