"It's terrifying that people can become so small."
"This magic is truly amazing!"
Seeing a living person suddenly become smaller, the onlookers were shocked, as if they were struck by lightning and turned into stone men. It was not until this moment that they finally came to their senses.
Marquis Xuanyi glanced at everyone and said, "Ke Bingling, please organize the files related to the Xianyuan Hotel and send them to me for review as soon as possible."
Ke Bingling is the inspector of Jiangyuan Prefecture, so naturally, she is responsible for collecting intelligence on Xianyuan Hotel.
Ke Bingling said, "Yes, I will obey your orders."
"Let's all go." Xuanyi Hou walked into the hotel and returned to his guest room to continue reading.
At the same time, in front of the window on the fifth floor, Lingyu Palace Master Pan Xingyuan also withdrew his gaze, his expression somewhat solemn.
He was surprised before that he had mastered the magic of Disapparition, but now he felt that it was not as effective as other magics.
If only I could master more magic...
He used the Apparition technique to return to Lingyu Palace, checked the situation in Lingyu Palace, and found that everything was fine, so he continued reading "Harry Potter".
…
Ke Bingling quickly brought all the files over and gave them to Xuanyi Hou for review.
"My Lord, these are all the files. According to research, at least a thousand people have learned skills or magic from the books so far. Most of them are ordinary people who were previously ignored. The owner seems to be particularly fond of those with less talent, intending to help them change their original fate."
Ke Bingling paused, then continued, "Also, those who can pass the thrilling amusement park's challenges are also at a relatively low level of cultivation, with the highest being at the Second Level of the Innate Realm. If my guess is correct, the owner is intentionally trying to control the balance and prevent chaos. My Lord, I believe that with your status, you might be able to gain some unexpected benefits."
Xuan Yi Hou raised his eyebrows in surprise and laughed, "How is that possible?"
"My Lord, from what I've observed, the owner isn't someone who enjoys chaos. I've lived here for a long time, and from the opinions he occasionally expresses, I can tell he believes the government has an obligation to maintain peace and order, ensuring that even military personnel obey the law and protect the lives and property of the common people."
Marquis Xuanyi flipped through the files and fell into deep thought.
"My Lord, in addition to these, the shop owner has also provided drought-resistant, high-yield seeds. She truly intends to benefit the entire world, and her stance aligns with that of the imperial court. We should seize this opportunity and maintain our existing advantage, lest we lose control of those underworld forces."
Xuan Yi Hou flipped to a page and paused for a moment. "Hmm, has the shady rat 'Bu Gui Ren' finally been dealt with?"
"Indeed, the hotel's hot springs are working. The killer of 'No Return' is no longer restrained by the poison. How could he be willing to continue working for others?"
"You've done a great job. Jiangyuan Mansion is bound to become the center of the storm. As the inspector of Jiangyuan Mansion, you have a heavy responsibility. If you are short of manpower, feel free to contact me. Make sure that Jiangyuan Mansion is peaceful and don't disturb the shopkeepers casually."
"Yes, I understand."
The Black Robe Marquis continued to flip through the files. "We'll try to recruit those lucky individuals who are worth recruiting. We'll offer generous compensation and there's no limit on the number of applicants. Of course, the review standards won't be lowered. We'll only recruit those from good families with clean backgrounds. I'll allocate funds."
"Yes, I have already recruited some, and several other inspectors have also recruited a lot of people."
"Yeah, very good."
Marquis Xuanyi paused, then continued, "As the Inspector of the Xuanjing Division's Jiangyuan Prefecture, aside from your improved cultivation, you don't seem to have gained any other benefits from the Xianyuan Hotel? Clearly, the owner hasn't made any special arrangements for you. If that's the case, I'm afraid she wouldn't make an exception for me either. You were taking things for granted just now."
Ke Bingling's expression darkened slightly. "I'm just unlucky. Even if my strength improves slightly, it won't be enough to have an impact on the overall situation. How can I be compared with you, Lord Marquis?"
"I appreciate your kind words. If you are right, I will owe you a favor."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. I am only speculating."
Xuan Yi Hou smiled: "I know what's going on."
…
Xuanyi Hou actually didn't take Ke Bingling's words seriously.
He never has too high expectations for his luck, lest he end up with nothing and only fall further.
However, he still had to continue reading the book "Harry Potter", at least he had to understand all the magic.
As expected, there was nothing gained that day.
Marquis Xuanyi was calm and unconcerned, feeling that all this was within his expectations.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, he suddenly had an epiphany and mastered a magic called "armor protection".
In the original book, after casting this magic, the caster can not only protect himself from magic, but also bounce back the opponent's magic.
It is indeed an extremely useful magic.
But to his surprise, the "armor protection" he learned was not limited to this.
This magic has obviously been enhanced to not only defend against magic, but also against other attacks.
How is this kind of magic different from divine skill? !
Although it consumes a lot of mental energy, it is completely enough to match this effect.
Xuan Yi Hou couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Could it be true, as Ke Bingling said, that the owner really intended to show goodwill to the court?
He couldn't help but put down the book in his hand. According to the information in the file, generally speaking, it is rare to win the lottery twice. After winning once, it is difficult to win again.
In that case, he might as well try the thrill park first.
Xuanyi Hou took the elevator to the first floor, bought a ticket and entered the thrilling amusement park.
The crow was unable to go in with him and was left in the hotel lobby by its owner.
It looked around, flew to the counter, squatted down, and looked at Feng Yuanning: "Beauty!"
Feng Yuanning: “…”
She stroked the crow's head, and the crow was not afraid of her. It let her stroke its feathers openly, looking arrogant and proud.
After Xuan Yi Hou entered the thrilling amusement park.
The first challenge was a roller coaster, but with the magic of "armor protection", he passed it easily.
The second challenge was bungee jumping, which was also easily passed.
The third challenge is water surfing, which is easily passed.
Among them, the magic of "armor protection" made a great contribution.
After each successful challenge, even if he was seriously injured and his mental strength was exhausted, he would recover instantly, which further reduced the difficulty of his challenge.
The fourth challenge is the Adventure House, and the fifth challenge is the Beast Garden.
When he escaped from the beast garden in a daze with a splitting headache, holding up the magic shield of "armor protection", he finally could no longer refute Ke Bingling's guess.
Could it be that the shop owner is really trying to maintain the authority of the imperial court and ensure that the imperial court always has enough power to suppress all opposition forces in the world?
After completing the challenge, his exhausted mental strength was restored in an instant, and all the injuries on his body, big and small, were healed.
Immediately afterwards, he was teleported out of the Thrilling Amusement Park copy.
In full view of everyone, he entered a state of enlightenment.
Whirlwinds from all directions surrounded him, blocking anyone who wanted to get close to him.
When the crow saw its master surrounded by a whirlwind, it panicked and abandoned Feng Yuanning who was playing with it.
It screamed "Ga Ga Ga" and tried to fly over, but it couldn't get through the whirlwind no matter what. It flew back to the counter in panic and shouted to Feng Yuanning: "Help! Help!"
Feng Yuanning patted its little head: "Don't panic, this is a good thing."
She frowned tightly. Those who had achieved sudden enlightenment before had not had high cultivation levels. Xuan Yi Hou was the first exception she had seen.
The crow tilted its head, as if it understood her words, or perhaps understood her tone, and the whole bird calmed down a little.
Feng Yuanning was filled with doubts and quietly questioned the system: "System, tell me, did you open a backdoor for him? What's so special about him that it's worth it for you to open a backdoor for him?"
"If the balance is upset and chaos breaks out, the hotel will suffer karmic feedback, and will not only fail to gain anything, but will actually cause harm."
"But, after reaching the state of enlightenment, won't these warriors shatter the void and leave this world? How long can they stay in this world?"
"As long as they maintain restraint and don't use overly powerful moves, they can naturally stay. But if they choose to shatter the void and leave this world, it would be tantamount to committing suicide."
"How come?"
"These warriors are too weak to cross the extremely dangerous void. They will most likely die on the way before reaching other worlds."
"Oh, is that so? I see."
Marquis Xuanyi closed his eyes and felt as if he was immersed in warm water. His consciousness disappeared into the air and soared freely in the boundless void.
He saw countless mysterious and profound artistic conceptions, which were infinitely wonderful and intoxicating.
He wanted to investigate it in detail, but felt dizzy. It seemed that this was not the truth that he could understand.
In this vast void, he felt extremely small, just an insignificant ant, just a superficial frog in a well.
It is hard to imagine how powerful the shop owner is that can give people such an opportunity.
Marquis Xuanyi was immersed in this void. He didn't know how long it had passed. Suddenly, this void dissipated like a mirage, and his consciousness returned to his body.
He opened his eyes and found that he was indeed back in the hotel.
However, his cultivation level was no longer at the Tongxuan realm, but had surprisingly been elevated to the Hua realm.
In this world, no one has been able to reach this level for a long time, but now, with the help of the hotel, he has become the first person to reach this level.
Shocked, he turned to look at the shop owner, only to see him sitting behind the counter with his pet crow squatting beside him.
At this moment, the entire hotel lobby was silent.
The customers in the store didn't even dare to breathe, let alone judge anything. They were filled with fear, envy, doubt, self-pity... all kinds of complicated emotions.
Marquis Xuanyi approached the counter and bowed deeply to Feng Yuanning. "Thank you, owner. I never imagined I would one day be able to ascend to the Transcendent Realm. I appreciate your support for the court. The Xuanjing Division will do its utmost to fulfill your wishes."
Feng Yuanning was in a state of mixed emotions. Transformation Realm? He was probably the first person in this world to reach Transformation Realm in many years.
On the surface, Feng Yuanning remained calm, and tried to speak in a nonchalant tone: "Oh, this is all the result of your own efforts. It has nothing to do with me. No need to thank me."
Xuan Yi Hou disagreed, "How can it be unrelated? In fact, the reason I was able to complete the challenge was also due to the magic of 'Armor Protection'. I don't think I have always been a lucky person, so I have to thank the owner for bestowing this magic upon me."
Feng Yuanning suddenly understood.
Was it because of the magic of "Armor Protection"? This magic was indeed very effective, but the reason why it could exert such a strong effect was naturally because it was mastered by a powerful person.
If Feng Yuanning were to cast this magic, one could imagine how poor the defensive effect would be.
Feng Yuanning changed the subject: "Well, after you reached the Transformation Realm, have you ever thought about breaking the void?"
Xuan Yi Hou bowed, lowered his brows and said respectfully, "Not at the moment. Owner, do you have any suggestions?"
Although he had become an expert, he still did not dare to act rashly in front of the shop owner.
Feng Yuanning immediately took the opportunity to suggest, "I suggest you not to break through the void. Your strength is not enough to cross the void. You will most likely die on the way before reaching other worlds."
"How could this be?" Xuan Yi Hou was shocked. "Then, wouldn't those who shattered the void in the past be in great danger?"
Feng Yuanning nodded: "Yes, you should take this as a warning, maintain restraint, and avoid using overly powerful moves."
After finishing the explanation, Feng Yuanning felt very cute. With just a few words, he successfully saved a person who was almost on the road of no return.
Xuan Yi Hou's face was solemn. "Thank you for the reminder, shopkeeper. I understand now and will definitely take it as a warning."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
I've never mentioned this before, but actually, as early as when I was writing about the hotel's upgrade to level 3, I reorganized the outline and found many things that I hadn't thought of.
In order to ensure that there is new content on each level of the hotel, I compressed the hotel from ten levels to six levels, and changed the highest floor from twenty floors to thirty floors.
There's no way around it. The author is a jerk who gets bored easily and loves novelty. He doesn't like repeating the same old routine. He writes out of passion and can't continue writing unless he stays excited.
Therefore, the story ends when the hotel reaches level 6, and other worlds will be unlocked in the sequel. I am now more than halfway through the story, and I will try to finish it within two months.
