Father and Son
Everyone huddled together and clinked their glasses. Jiang Jiang drank the drink in his glass and stood up with a smile, "I have another piece of good news to report to everyone. The books in the reading room have been sorted out, and we can prepare to open it."
He Lizhou knew very well how much workload the reading room had, so he applauded and praised, "Then we can also free up some employees and prepare to open the Intelligence Building."
Intelligence had been collected and summarized over the past two days, including a temporary lounge. He Lizhou had planned to add one under the guest rooms on the second floor. This idea would certainly not be possible in real life, but this was an infinite flow game, and adding an entire floor was nothing more than a matter of unlocking permissions using the amount of copies cleared.
It’s just that everyone was very busy at the time, so both ideas were put on hold and we never had time to launch them.
Hearing this, Yang Wanhe interrupted and asked, "When will we collect the medical building's equipment? There are more and more patients now."
The system is being upgraded, which everyone has already felt. With the upgrade of the system, the content of the dungeon and the way to pass the level are becoming more and more. You can no longer rely solely on previous experience to pass the level. Because of this, many players have not changed their mindset and many people have been injured.
The hotel has a dedicated medical building, which is almost becoming an advantage of all transit halls.
It’s just that medical equipment is in short supply.
Needless to say, the hall with the lowest standard, players there can heal themselves after being injured; in the Void Trade Center, although the living conditions have obviously improved, and various items in it are free to use, but because of this, there are no doctors, and many players do not know how to use medical equipment...
He Lizhou suddenly came to his senses. He was originally worrying about where to get medical equipment. Now he thought, there are ready-made ones at the Void Trade Center.
It's just that this matter needs to be discussed with the system, and I don't know if System 09 can make the decision...
Let’s ask System 09 tonight.

"Can."
"Can!"
Everyone laughed. The system agreed to let them use the clearance quantity to exchange for medical equipment. This was undoubtedly good news and could greatly reduce the staff burden of the hotel.
If we were to search everywhere or make medical equipment, we wouldn't know how many people would be needed.
He Lizhou was also in a good mood. "I'll go over there now and quickly improve the equipment in the medical building so that the players can also have good medical conditions."
Sheng Ju couldn't hold it back for the past two days, and raised his hand, eager to try, "Boss Zhou Zhou, take me with you too!"
He Lizhou's first reaction was to disagree, "You just follow the master and study hard. We can handle this kind of thing."
Sheng Ju glanced at his master's expression and saw no displeasure, so he tried again, "It's a good opportunity to try out my new skills. I just learned how to transfer objects into space yesterday. Isn't this just the right time to use it?"
That's true.
He Lizhou looked at Ban Hefeng, and only agreed after Ban Hefeng nodded and confirmed that Sheng Ju could give it a try, "Okay, but if you feel tired, take a rest in time."
He was still somewhat concerned about Sheng Ju's body as he had just woken up.
Sheng Ju was a little helpless and could only reiterate: "I'm really fine. As long as I wake up, I'll be fine. I'm not a porcelain doll."
As he spoke, He Lizhou took off the small sculpture on his shoulder and put it in his pocket to avoid squeezing the small sculpture when switching spaces in the transfer hall.
Sheng Ju asked casually, "What is this? Did you bring it out from the dungeon?"
He Lizhou nodded, "A very spiritual little sculpture."
Sheng Ju hesitated for a while. He didn't know what happened in the copy. Maybe this small sculpture protected He Lizhou from disaster, which made He Lizhou attach so much importance to the small sculpture now. But after thinking about it, he decided to tell He Lizhou the truth.
"Boss Zhou Zhou, there is no soul in this little sculpture anymore."
After he finished speaking, he carefully observed He Lizhou's expression, but unexpectedly, He Lizhou did not show any surprise or sadness on his face, but smiled.
"I guessed it. There was no response for such a long time. Maybe he didn't come out with me when I left the dungeon."
He Lizhou thought about this and sighed, "Yeah, he might be a small BOSS in the dungeon, how could I just bring him out casually?"
Sheng Ju didn't respond, but He Lizhou didn't want any response from him, so he put away the little sculpture and said, "Keep it as a souvenir."
He Lizhou seldom comes out, and Sheng Ju was a little excited. After He Lizhou finished moving the equipment, he insisted on taking him to see Bai Yimei's shop.
"Boss Zhou Zhou, you got all your clothes there, but you don't know the store! I must take you there to show you the way! If I'm not around someday, you can still get your clothes by yourself."
He was halfway through his words when He Lizhou patted him on the back of his head. Sheng Ju knew what He Lizhou meant, that he was dissatisfied with his bluntness, so he smiled and changed the topic, "No, I still have to meet Boss Zhouzhou in real life, how can I not be here, right?"
Normally, He Lizhou would respond to his joke, but this time he didn't. Sheng Ju felt strange. Was he really angry?
So he turned around to look at He Lizhou, and found that He Lizhou was looking seriously in one direction.
Sheng Ju looked over and didn't see anything. The street was full of bustling people, nothing special.
Although people don't communicate much, there are still some people who like to be in the hustle and bustle. They feel relaxed and safe when they stay in the center of the crowd. Therefore, many people will stroll around the streets even if they have nothing to do, which leads to a large number of pedestrians on the streets.
In this situation, it is not easy to find someone, but He Lizhou's expression is as if he has met someone he knows.
Sheng Ju tilted his head and tried to see from He Lizhou's perspective, but couldn't see any difference for a long time.
So I asked in confusion, "Boss Zhou Zhou, what are you looking at?"
He Lizhou narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed at a figure from behind. "Does that person look familiar to you?"
Sheng Ju looked carefully, and although it was only her back, he could tell that it was a beautiful woman with a slim figure, big wavy hair, a red skirt, and high heels. Compared with the others, she was just a little more beautiful, but he didn't have any impression of her.
"Boss Zhou Zhou, you are not attracted by beauty, are you? You think the beauty looks familiar, as if you have seen her somewhere before?"
He Lizhou was interrupted by his words and no longer had the heart to explore. He smiled helplessly, "You are the best at talking nonsense. Let's go to the store."
After they left, the woman who had been circled by He Lizhou just now turned her head. She had thin eyebrows and a small mouth. She was a very beautiful woman, but she was indeed someone they knew.

"Hello, is there any room available?"
Uncle Cui was sorting out the check-in information at the front desk when suddenly someone knocked on the desk and asked.
He looked up and saw that the other person was a burly man with a child sitting on his arms with his legs swinging.
Uncle Cui thought it was a father and son who entered the infinite flow game with their child, so he quickly looked through the records, "Yes, someone just checked out of room 233."
The man frowned, "Is there only one room?"
Uncle Cui glanced at the child and asked, "Your child is too young, doesn't he need care?"
This was just a suggestion. Unexpectedly, after this was said, the two people opposite fell silent. The child also stopped swinging his legs and looked at Uncle Cui with a very curious look.
Uncle Cui always felt that the two people's auras were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't think of who they looked like, so he asked, "So do you want one room or two?"
The man wanted to insist on opening two rooms, but before he could leave, the child grabbed his other hand and said with a smile, "Then just one, Dad."
Uncle Cui nodded and lowered his head to look for the room card for the two of them, and just missed the hesitation and slight fear in the man's eyes.
Uncle Cui didn't notice and handed the room card to the man with a smile, "If you need anything, you can always ring the bell to call us."
The man took the room card, his fingertips moving a little stiffly, but he avoided Uncle Cui's questioning gaze and went upstairs carrying the child.
Uncle Cui didn't take the matter to heart. Since the hotel opened, they have received all kinds of guests. In addition, as he got older, his curiosity was no longer as strong as before. As long as it was not a big deal that would affect the hotel, Uncle Cui would not interfere.
It just so happened that He Lizhou and Sheng Ju also came back at this time. Uncle Cui put aside what had just happened and went forward to greet the two.
He saw that the two came back empty-handed, so he realized that Sheng Ju had used his skills to bring back the equipment. Medical equipment is not small, and he was able to bring such a large object. "Sheng Ju is making rapid progress!"
Sheng Ju raised the corner of his lips proudly, "That's right! Now let's go put these things in the medical building."
…
"What are you looking at?"
In room 233, the two people who had just checked in had put down their things. The man went to the spa to take a shower and when he returned to the room, he found the child lying on the balcony, seemingly looking at something.
He suppressed his emotions for a long time, but couldn't help asking.
And these words, spoken with a trembling voice, revealed the fear that could not be hidden. The child was not attracted by his words, but turned back with a smile.
"You are my father now, how can you be afraid of your son?"
Looking at the child's innocent smile, the man shuddered in the room with a suitable temperature, "I..."
Before he could finish his words, the child came over and held the man's hand, still smiling, tilting his head and asking: "You are too scared of me, you are not like my father at all, so don't be my father anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man whose hand was held fell to the ground silently.
The child looked at the man whose face was quickly becoming pale, and kicked him away casually. With a slight force of his toes, he pushed the burly man to the door.
Then he looked at the man, expressionless and letting out a sharp cry.
Before the hotel staff and the guests in the two adjacent rooms came over, the children ran downstairs and headed towards the medical building that He Lizhou and the others had just entered.
When he entered the medical building, his face was already covered with tear marks and his eyes were full of fear and grief. When he saw He Lizhou and the others, the child's tears fell from his eyes and he choked with sobs.
"My father..."
Something happened.
Seeing the child's appearance, everyone realized this. He Lizhou took the lead in stepping forward, picked up the child, let him nestle in his arms, and asked in a gentle voice.
"Don't cry, little friend. Which room do you live in? Take us to find Daddy, okay?"
Uncle Cui came over to take a look and said, "Aren't these the father and son who just moved into room 233?"
