Chapter 12



Once the rich man makes a move, you will know whether it is real or not.

The man with the melon-shaped face came back and called a car to buy a lot of things and took them away, mainly cheap instant noodles, drinks, milk candy and chocolate.

So the task count is +200.

If it weren't for the need to maintain a sense of mystery so that the hotel's status would not be lowered by her as the owner, Feng Yuanning would have wanted to go out and give likes and flowers.

Hotel upgrade conditions: entertain 20/50 people in total and complete 2/3 of the tasks.

Mission: Sell a total of 1,500 items to customers through the vending machine (1,275/1,500) to unlock the courtyard building.

Now, we only need to sell 225 more items to complete this task.

She was eager to complete this task as soon as possible so that she could quickly unlock tasks that might reward her with an air conditioner.

She took a big sip of ice cola, walked to the guest lounge, lay down on the soft sofa, and thought about how to attract more guests.

In the case of her hotel, many modern marketing and promotional methods are simply useless. The more they are used, the more likely it is to arouse suspicion, making people think that this suspicious store is trying to rob people and kill them.

After thinking about it, it seems that the best option is to do nothing and wait for word of mouth to spread.

Now that the guest rooms are full and the vending machines don't need her to look after them, it seems that she really has nothing to do.

It seems that all I can do is sit in the hotel and wait for an easy win.

Forget it. It just so happens that she has been working overtime for some time and has been in a high-intensity state. She might as well treat this as a rare vacation.

Isn't it nice to have some free time? Maybe, when the hotel unlocks new features in the future, she will start to be busy like before.

As she was thinking, she realized that the sofa was so comfortable and her stomach was so full that she fell asleep on the sofa without realizing it.

Room 202, 2nd floor, Xianyuan Hotel.

The chess game is about to come to an end. The black pieces are moving aggressively, advancing step by step to capture cities and territories. The white pieces are losing ground again and again in the encirclement and suppression. They have no way to retreat and are defeated extremely miserably.

"I won't play anymore. Your Highness is a superb chess player. I admit defeat. You should find someone else." Guo Yushi stared at the chessboard for a long time and put the white piece in his hand back into the chess box.

This game of chess made him feel really uncomfortable. He was obviously quite happy when watching the game from the side. Why did he have to be so upset and come here in person?

When Lu Xian and Bai Haoge played chess before, they were clearly back and forth, advancing and retreating, but for some reason, Lu Xian always lost by a margin of one or two stones. It might have been a coincidence once, but it always ended like this. Did they really think others couldn't see the trick?

The more Guo Yu Shi watched, the angrier he became, until he pushed Lu Xian aside and went up himself.

Unexpectedly, when he really did it himself, he found that imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

He was defeated and suffered a crushing defeat, and he felt very disappointed.

"Thank you for your kindness." Bai Haoge smiled and waved to the servant Mao Yi standing beside him to come over and clean up the chess game.

Then, his gaze shifted, and he suddenly froze in his tracks, staring at a certain spot. "Lu Xian, if I remember correctly, those discarded bags and boxes were temporarily piled on the small table over there, right?"

Eunuch Lu Xian followed his gaze and was stunned: "Yes, it was indeed placed there, how could it suddenly disappear?"

When Guo Yushi saw it, he was also confused.

Lu Xian searched the guest room and even went into the bathroom, but found nothing. Confused, he returned and reported, "Your Highness, it's definitely gone. It's nowhere else in the room. I'm also certain that none of us threw those things out of the window."

Bai Haoge pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes flickered. "Could this also be a method used by immortals? They actually resorted to such miraculous methods just to clear out a few pieces of waste. The thoughts of immortals are truly beyond the comprehension of mortals like us."

Eunuch Lu Xian lowered his head and asked, "Your Highness, do you need to go down and ask the shop owner?"

Bai Haoge shook his head. "No need. Why bother her for such a trivial matter? It's just annoying. Perhaps this method is just a trivial trick for the owner, but mortals like us have limited knowledge, so we find it difficult to guess. It seems that the owner doesn't like dirt. We need to be careful in the future and try not to damage the items in the house."

Lu Xian and Mao Yi responded in unison: "Yes."

Guo Yushi, the outsider, suddenly felt out of place. After a moment's thought, he said, "Since His Highness is safe and sound, I will return to the Medical Valley first. Goodbye."

Room 203, 2nd floor, Xianyuan Hotel.

Ling Jing sat cross-legged on the floor, closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation.

Song Yuluan leaned comfortably on the sofa, crossed her legs in a very unruly manner, and ate potato chips while flipping through a storybook.

No one knew how these potato chips were made, but they were crispy, with a light salty taste and an indescribable strange fragrance that made her think of a rare spice and vaguely of meat grilled over charcoal.

Such delicious food was so addictive that she couldn't stop eating.

The soft sofa beneath her seat was extremely comfortable, and it also gave her a slight coolness, making her not want to leave for a moment.

The Jianshan sect where she is located is a well-known sect in the martial arts world. As a famous sect that dominates an area, Jianshan controls many industries and mines.

Mingyue Earrings, which flourished in the Great Yan Dynasty, were owned by Jianshan. Mingyue Earrings mainly dealt in pearls, jade, gemstones, gold and silver jewelry.

Song Yuluan had been a disciple of Jianshan since childhood, and with his extraordinary talent, he became a disciple of Luo Xiaofeng, the master of Jianshan. He usually saw luxurious scenes everywhere, but he had never seen such a soft chair, nor had he seen food similar to potato chips.

This shows that such food and chairs are absolutely unprecedented and have only appeared today.

If possible, she would like to take everything here away. Of course, this is just a thought, she didn't even dare to say it out loud.

After reading for a while, she reached for the bag of potato chips, but found nothing. She turned around in confusion.

Suddenly she was stunned.

Where's the bag of chips? Where's that huge bag of chips she left there? Why did it suddenly disappear? Was someone teasing her?

She glanced at Ling Jing who was meditating and practicing, and then her eyes were attracted by the coffee table that she accidentally passed by. She saw that the discarded food boxes and bags thrown there had disappeared.

What's going on?

She just had her tendons and veins broken and became a disabled person, but there was no problem with her memory.

She remembered clearly that the waste had been piled on the coffee table, and she and her senior brother were not in a hurry to deal with it.

But now they suddenly disappeared, and the bag of potato chips she was eating also disappeared. This could not be done by Ling Jing.

Could it be that the owner disliked them and used some magic to get rid of them?

Well, she understood. It seemed that it was indeed done by the shop owner. Apart from the shop owner, who else could have such magical powers?

It seems that she had just finished the bag of potato chips she was eating, so it suddenly disappeared like the waste.

Song Yuluan breathed a sigh of relief and became more determined to stay here.

As long as she doesn't recover her martial arts, she won't return to Jianshan.

As for the money she was in urgent need of, she believed that as long as she wrote a letter to explain to her master, her master would give her some support.

Before she became a cripple, she was once a favored daughter of heaven, and was carefully trained by the sect. As long as she still had hope of recovering her martial arts, how could her master give up on her so easily?

Ling Jing was relatively mediocre and not outstanding among the many disciples of Jianshan. She had never even noticed him before.

Until this time, when she fell from a great height overnight and her former admirers and followers dispersed one after another, she suddenly realized that the world was not as beautiful as she had imagined, and the people who were truly sincere to her were only a handful.

Ling Jing happened to be one of them. He had rarely appeared in front of her before, or rather, he had appeared but she had never noticed him. Unexpectedly, when she was in trouble, he was willing to give everything to tolerate her, protect her, and help her.

So, after he finished his training, she would continue to force him to eat turkey noodles.

Humph, how could her future husband be such a mediocre person?

He was already in his twenties, yet he had only reached the eighth level of the Acquired Realm. When she recovered her martial arts skills in the future, wouldn't he be a drag on her?

Don't think you can escape the disaster by practicing hard now, that's impossible~

Changling County.

The county town is very small. If you walk faster, you can walk from the north gate to the south gate in more than 20 minutes. There are basically no poor people living in the county town.

In the southern part of the city, many people living there work in the county government.

The round-faced woman and her family lived here. When she returned home, she found her six-year-old son had been crying so hard that he couldn't cry anymore, and her ten-year-old daughter was sitting beside him in a daze.

As soon as they saw her come back, the two children ran over and each took one of her hands.

The son cried hoarsely, "Mom, my candy wrapper suddenly disappeared."

The daughter looked terrified and said, "Mom, I just saw my brother's candy wrapper suddenly disappear."

The round-faced woman was confused: "What's going on?"

My son was so busy crying that his eyes were red and swollen.

The daughter's face turned pale as she explained, "Didn't he hold the candy wrapper in his hand and sniff it like it was a treasure? But I don't know what happened, just now the candy wrapper he was holding suddenly disappeared. Mom, do you think it might be haunted?"

Round-faced woman: “!!!”

Why did this sound so bizarre? It was similar to her previous experience. She was already feeling terrified, but then she felt a chill run down her body, and her palms began to sweat.

She calmed herself down and put down the basket in her hand.

As soon as the son saw what was in the basket, he forgot the grievance of losing the candy wrapper and rushed over to pick up a bag of candy: "Mom, this is it! I saw it clearly at the time, that big brother took the candy out of this kind of bag."

The round-faced woman instinctively snatched the bag of candy. Seeing her son pout and look like he was about to cry, she quickly explained, "I'll help you tear it apart. You're too weak to do it."

The son immediately stopped crying and looked at her eagerly.

The round-faced woman tore open the bag of candy, took out a candy, peeled off the wrapper, and put it into her mouth.

Suddenly, a sweet milky flavor conquered her tongue. She felt that the toffee was rich, fragrant and sweet, with a sweet and smooth feeling, which made people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Wow, how can there be such delicious food in the world?

Such delicious candy can be bought for only 5 cents a bag. Is the owner of that store doing business at a loss?

The son was about to reach out to take the candy, but the candy went into his mother's mouth instead. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide, tears fell again, and he pouted and started crying again.

The daughter glared at him angrily: "Why are you crying?! I went out in the scorching sun to buy the candy. What's wrong with me eating one?!"

The son was stunned, but stopped crying and stood on tiptoe to try to get the bag of candy from his mother.

After tasting the candy and confirming it was harmless, the round-faced woman handed a handful to her son and the rest, including the bag, to her daughter. "Eat less! This candy is so sweet! Don't damage your teeth."

She picked up the basket, went into the house and hid it, took out a few bags of candy, turned around and went out to deliver the candy to her relatives and friends nearby.

Unexpectedly, when she came back, she smelled an extremely tempting fragrance. Not only that, she also heard the familiar cry of her prodigal son.

She hurried over and saw through the open gate of the neighbor's house that the man with the melon-shaped face who lived next door to her and her daughter were sitting in a row in the yard. Each of them was holding a bucket of pickled cabbage and beef noodles, slurping them up with their faces flushed.

People nearby smelled the fragrance and were attracted to the scene. They gathered in front of the yard, stretched their necks to watch, and asked the melon-faced man what kind of noodles it was.

The oval-faced man boasted proudly, "This is noodles from that shop outside the city. I risked my life to go out and buy them. Do you want them? Ten cents a bucket. Consider it a free gift from me for our long-standing friendship."

The round-faced woman suddenly felt that she had miscalculated. If she had known this would happen, she would not have missed buying instant noodles just because they were not easy to carry.

Now that's great. She's probably going to have to make another arduous trip. Look at her son crying with saliva all over his mouth. He has made her lose all her face.

Bah, ten cents a box, why don't you just go and rob it? The store is only selling it for five cents.

The round-faced woman couldn't help but expose the oval-faced man's words: "The store only sells this thing for five cents, and you sell it for ten cents. Check your conscience, is it still there?"

"But that store is very weird. I risked my life to buy it in there. If you don't want to buy it from me, just go buy it yourself. I won't stop you." The man with the melon-shaped face had anticipated her reaction. It was precisely because he was concerned about her that he only doubled the price.

As she expected, the price was just right for these people, and they all paid to buy it:

"I'll buy a bucket first. It's only ten cents. It's not something we can't afford."

"I want a bucket too. Do you have anything else for sale? Take it out and let us see it."

"I want to buy a few more barrels, and let me see the other stuff too."

The round-faced woman felt increasingly displeased with this scene. "Aren't you afraid of angering the owner of that shop?"

The oval-faced man shook his head in amusement. "I think you still don't understand. It's just a few cents in profit. Do you think she'll care?"

On the contrary, what she did was to help the store owner promote his business, and the store owner might even be happy to see it happen.

Once these people have tasted the delicious food in the store, sooner or later they will not be able to resist patronizing the store.
