Some knowledgeable and influential people scoffed at the rumors, dismissing them as mere gossip spread by Prince Duan in his bid for the throne.
But for ordinary people, the arrival of a deity undoubtedly adds a glimmer of hope to their miserable lives.
They dared not disturb the land of immortals, and knelt and prayed in the direction of the inn, hoping that the heavy rain would stop soon and that the coming year would bring favorable weather.
So when the sky cleared up two days later, the people were even more convinced of the existence of the gods, and the rumors intensified and gradually spread outwards.
When An Ge found out, she was both amused and exasperated. If she said it was really a coincidence, would anyone still believe her?
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Just as mysterious as the Fairy Inn was the assassination attempt on Prince Duan that shook Huaixi City. Immediately, the entire city of Huaixi was placed under martial law, and the people were filled with fear.
An Ge knew nothing about what was happening in Huaixi City. She watched the rain lessen and sipped Chef Sun's latest concoction, feeling quite content.
However, her good mood didn't last long. Early the next morning, she checked out of her savings account.
Feng Jinghan bowed deeply and said, "I will never forget the store manager's protection."
An Ge waved her hand dismissively: "It is my responsibility to protect the safety of the customers in my shop." In her heart, she was thinking about how to ask Feng Jinghan for help.
Feng Jinghan looked at An Ge gratefully. No matter what, his life was saved by the shopkeeper. The immortal didn't care, but he couldn't forget the kindness.
When Feng Jinghan expressed his intention to repay even the smallest kindness tenfold, An Ge grinned as she looked at the throng of people outside the inn.
"Why wait until later? You can apply now!"
So, the soldiers transformed into farmers, some cutting down trees, others weeding, working up a great deal of activity.
"Old Xu, you said an immortal could level this place with just a magic spell? Why are we being made to cultivate it?" The officers had finally managed to get the chance to come, and before they could even catch their breath, they were dragged into the work.
Xu Da wiped the sweat from his face, glanced at the adjutant, and said, "I've said it before: immortals come here for training. Do you understand? It's all in the plays that there are various restrictions on using immortal techniques during training."
"That's true." The soldiers carefully recalled the plays and stories they had read and nodded in understanding.
An Ge watched as the dense forest behind her was cleared out in less than an hour, and the smile in her eyes grew even more pronounced.
Feng Jinghan is so shrewd. If he weren't a prince, An Ge would have been tempted to hire him as an employee.
As expected, lunch immediately won everyone's hearts. As they ate the delicious food, they realized that the people who had come before had not exaggerated.
It's impossible for it to be free; at most, you can get a 20% discount. Even so, An Ge still felt the pinch for a long time.
After Feng Jinghan and the others left, An Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
"We need to hire people! We definitely need to hire people! If there are too many customers, I can't handle it all by myself." An Ge wiped her sweat and complained as she helped tidy up.
Aunt Dan snatched the rag from An Ge's hand and said with heartache, "The manager should have let me do it. Putting aside everything else, I can probably handle serving dishes and running errands."
An Ge thought of the broken plate and Chef Sun's mustache sticking up because he was angry, and quickly refused.
That's the downside of robots. Aunt Dan and Chef Sun are only busy in their designated areas, and unexpected situations may occur when they encounter things outside of their designated areas.
"The inn is about to be upgraded. Please prepare accordingly."
The system issued a notification, and the next moment, the thatched hut underwent a visible change.
A two-story white concrete building rises from the ground, paired with a pure white fence, standing out conspicuously in the deep green forest. The four large characters "Xianyuan Inn" hang on the roof, emitting colorful lights in the night sky, visible from a great distance.
The inn's lobby has been expanded several times over, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows making it feel even more spacious. The original wall lamps have been replaced with ordinary incandescent bulbs, illuminating the lobby as if it were daytime. Next to the windows, several sofas and potted plants add a touch of freshness to the lobby.
To the right of the lobby is the restaurant, which is not large, with a dozen or so tables and chairs neatly arranged. Further inside are several private rooms that can accommodate a dozen or so people for a meal at the same time.
The number of guest rooms has increased significantly, taking up the entire second floor.
Her small house was also completely renovated, transforming from a cramped few square meters into a spacious one-bedroom, one-living room, and one-bathroom apartment.
To Ange's even greater surprise, a small, square model of farmland appeared before her eyes, accompanied by detailed information:
Basic farmland, upgradable
Size: 100 square meters
Features: Can shorten the plant maturity period
Looking at the reclaimed wasteland behind the house, An Ge quickly took out the primary farmland.
"Empty space detected, shall we place it?"
"yes!"
In an instant, the once messy open space was transformed. The fertile black soil, surrounded by a fence, was visibly rich.
"I'll take better care of the farmland tomorrow." An Ge slumped onto the sofa in the living room, quite satisfied with the upgraded inn.
"From a thatched hut to a small villa, the system is amazing!" An Ge wanted to hug and kiss the system; these 2,500 points were well worth it.
Once the inn is upgraded to level two, some items in the shop will be unlocked, including a variety of furniture, many of which have attribute values that reflect the comfort, durability, and other aspects of the items.
An Ge immediately sold her wooden bed and spent a large sum of money to buy a large bed with a comfort rating of 8 from the mall. Then she bought herself several sets of clothes, and soon, the money she had earned in just a few days was almost gone.
"Shopping is fun for a moment, but you'll regret it later!" An Ge looked at her three-digit savings and felt heartbroken. When would she ever achieve financial freedom?
The business interface has also undergone significant changes, the most obvious being the increase in employee recruitment.
Employee recruitment requires the store manager to issue recruitment applications. The relationship between the applicant and the job seeker is a two-way selection process. If the benefits offered by the store manager are unsatisfactory, the employee can leave at any time.
The advantage is that the recruited employees each have their own strengths, and one person can be as capable as several, allowing for targeted recruitment based on needs. The disadvantages are equally obvious, the most significant being the uncontrollable nature of the recruits; with bad luck, one might encounter unscrupulous individuals.
After carefully analyzing the pros and cons, An Ge decided to recruit some employees through the recruitment system. With the support of contracts, she would have absolute say, and if she encountered any treacherous people, she could simply drive them away.
Having outwitted the system for so long, she could roughly guess that androids like Aunt Dan and Chef Sun were specially arranged by the system to make up for its mistakes, essentially a beginner's gift package, something that could only be encountered by chance.
An Ge didn't recruit immediately, mainly because she was poor and couldn't pay salaries!
