Rongjia has been to the most copies. She was the first to upgrade the guest room facilities on the second floor. The original guest rooms had not been upgraded yet and only had simple furnishings. After Rongjia's upgrade, all of them were updated. Not only were the beds, tables and chairs more comfortable, but a TV and balcony were also added.
As for whether I can watch TV, I am not sure.
Because there were no guests, the guest rooms were all occupied by hotel staff, the layout was the same, and the system was not completely shady. Rongjia only needed to unlock the facilities in one set of guest rooms, and the other guest rooms would all be unlocked at the same time.
Uncle Cui came over and took a look around. He was generally satisfied and said, "It just needs a pot of green plants."
He is old and likes to fiddle with green things.
Since Shengju was the one who liked to go out the most in the entire hotel, everyone gave the glorious mission of purchasing green plants to Shengju.
Sheng Ju was happy to take this opportunity to go out and play, so he readily agreed.
"Boss Zhou Zhou, will you go with me?"
Sheng Ju is really clingy. He Lizhou doesn't know why Sheng Ju doesn't stick to other people but only to He Lizhou. Maybe it's because of the chick complex?
Rongjia walked into the bathroom of the guest room and said, "We still need a washing machine."
The bathroom was not big, and there was no space left after putting down a shower and a sink. She gestured for a long time, but finally came to the conclusion that there was not enough space.
She wanted to unlock the washer-dryer, but it took up a lot of space.
He Lizhou pointed to the end of the second floor, where everyone had piled up some sundries, and said, "Clean up that place, put the things in the open space next to the attic, and turn it into a laundry room."
Based on the number of copies that Rongjia had cleared, her level was high enough to make these changes, so she naturally had no objection.
Uncle Cui replaced the reception desk and floor in the lobby with new designs. They are no longer the old-fashioned ones.
He Lizhou looked at everyone's respective areas which had been completely renewed and began to estimate his own level. If this place could really host a transit hall in the future, then the employees would no longer be able to live in the guest rooms and would need to build their own houses separately.
He Lizhou planned to build the staff dormitory diagonally behind the hotel, next to the back garden planned by the system.
He already had a preliminary plan and had made the blueprints, but he was still short of two copies to clear. He Lizhou planned to clear two more copies as soon as possible and upgrade the hotel's level before the system's evaluation results came out. It would be best if he could successfully apply for the transit hall in one go to avoid more complicated procedures in the future.
He was considering which copy to go to, as it ended early, when the system suddenly issued another announcement.
"The system has determined that the dungeon 'Apartment' has suffered irreparable and significant damage. Person in charge of No. 3753 and the player bear full responsibility. The system will force No. 3753 and the player to enter the punishment dungeon. Please be prepared. The dungeon 'School Rules' will be opened in three days."
He Lizhou, Peng Ningyu and Sheng Ju exchanged glances.
The three of them immediately realized that the other party had also heard the news. Sheng Ju didn't care at all. He just guessed that the next copy would probably be at school, which made him a little annoyed.
Peng Ningyu had already entered two dungeons, and she felt more confident and was no longer as anxious as she was last time.
Although it is a punishment copy, since it is carried out in the school, there should be opportunities for players to meet each other. It will not be like last time where they could not even share any information.
Rong Jia noticed the expressions of the three people and guessed something, "You were poked by the system?"
Before they could answer, the system's public announcement rang in everyone's ears: "Please note that due to the wrong behavior of a person in charge and three players, a certain copy of the system has suffered heavy losses. Now the regulations are made. If the copy is destroyed to one-third of the extent, a fine of 30% of the copy clearance volume will be collected; if the copy is destroyed to one-half of the extent, a fine of 50% of the copy clearance volume will be collected; if the copy is completely destroyed, the person will be forcibly sent to the punishment world once. I hope that all the persons in charge and players will be aware of this and take it as a warning."
Rong Jia: "...What is your punishment?"
Peng Ningyu poked his chin guiltily: "This is the last one."
Rongjia’s eyes went dark, but it’s still there!
"Can I go with you?"
There is no need to say much about Rong Jia's combat power. The fact that she can clear so many copies is enough to show her strong strength. She is definitely a very powerful helper.
Before He Lizhou could guess the system's decision, the system had already issued a warning, "Beep, beep! Requesting external assistance is prohibited."
He Lizhou shrugged, "There's nothing we can do. Our escape route is cut off. Don't worry, we still have the hotel."
Speaking of the inn, Rong Jia felt slightly relieved. The existence of the inn in the dungeon was really like a huge bug. When encountering a danger that was really difficult to resolve, one could just hide in the inn and nothing else could get in.
Don't be fooled by her seeming powerful, in fact the inn helped her a lot, and she escaped death only thanks to the inn.
"After all, this is a punishment dungeon that no one has ever been to. You must be careful."
Uncle Cui warned, and couldn't help but look at the three people worriedly, "Tell me why you are so good at causing trouble!"
Seeing Uncle Cui's expression, it seemed as if he couldn't wait for someone to come over, so He Lizhou quickly found an excuse to run away.
He Lizhou has lived in the attic on the top floor since he was still in the real world. According to the system's plan, there will be an outdoor swimming pool next to it, but it has not yet reached the unlocking level. He Lizhou put a rocking chair and a tea table there, and he would read books and drink tea in it in his spare time, which was also very comfortable.
When Peng Ningyu came up, she saw He Lizhou making tea. His movements were smooth, skillful and beautiful.
He Lizhou is not picky and loves all kinds of tea. He often brews a cup of tea at hand, but his father once criticized him for "using tea to quench thirst."
He Lizhou caught a glimpse of Peng Ningyu from the corner of his eye, put down the teapot in his hand, and waved, "Come and sit down."
He poured a small cup for Peng Ningyu and handed it to her gently. The water in the cup swayed slightly. "Want a taste?"
Peng Ningyu picked it up and took a sip. She didn't drink tea often, but she was still amazed by the refreshing and slightly bitter taste of the tea. "It tastes good!"
He Lizhou looked at her expression and knew that this was the truth, so he smiled sincerely, leaned back slightly, and relaxed his posture. "Why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"
He thought Peng Ningyu was still a little worried about the punishment copy, "Don't worry about the punishment copy. Not to mention that you were punished for cooperating with me, even if you didn't, you are an employee of the hotel, and I can't just sit there and watch."
Peng Ningyu blinked, then realized that He Lizhou had misunderstood, so she smiled and said, "It's not this matter. I'm not worried anymore. Difficulties are more likely to motivate people to make progress!"
She raised her wrist and pressed a button on the virtual screen. "I came here today for another matter."
She turned on the public announcement function of the virtual screen and pointed at a new icon that appeared. "What is this?"
He Lizhou motioned for her to click it, and a box of matches appeared.
"Congratulations!" He Lizhou saw clearly what it was, a smile appeared on his face, and there was pure blessing in his eyes, "That's your skill."
Peng Ningyu knew about the skill because Sheng Ju had told her about it. At that time, Sheng Ju said it was very rare, so Peng Ningyu didn't take it seriously because she felt that she would not be able to obtain the skill.
She suddenly realized, "This is what Lili gave me. Will the props given by NPCs in the dungeon be transformed into the player's skills?"
He Lizhou: "Although I have rarely come across this, it is indeed one of the ways to acquire skills. Uncle Cui acquired his skills in this way."
Although they had known each other for a while, Peng Ningyu really didn't know the other people's skills. She was about to ask, but He Lizhou stopped her with a smile.
"Don't ask about other people's skills, and don't tell others about your skills at will. Skills are your trump card. They prevent others from knowing your skills and taking corresponding countermeasures against them."
"Even though we have such a good relationship in the hotel, it's not possible?"
He Lizhou shook his head: "No, the monsters and NPCs in the dungeon have many tricks and they are very strange. You don't know if there is any way to ask about your skills. If you also know other people's skills, it will be easy to be wiped out if they are asked about them."
This was indeed something Peng Ningyu had never thought of. She patted her chest in fear and said, "Luckily I asked you first."
He Lizhou dumped the cold tea in Peng Ningyu's cup, replaced it with a new one, and put it next to Peng Ningyu. "Study your skills carefully after you go back. Maybe you will need them in the next dungeon."
Peng Ningyu nodded, picked up the teacup, drank it all, then turned and went downstairs.
He Lizhou looked at the empty cup of tea that Peng Ningyu had drunk and couldn't help laughing.
After Peng Ningyu returned to the room, he clicked on the newly appeared skill icon again. The system loaded and quickly displayed a detailed text introduction.
"Miss Lili's Matchbox: It is undeniable that Miss Lili is a very bad person, but she likes beautiful humans and will help them when they are in trouble. Huh? So it turned out that you received help from Miss Lili."
There is a small line of words after this sentence, "Bully me and I will burn down your house!"
Peng Ningyu suspected that it was the system that caused her to burn down the apartment in the copy, feeling ashamed.
When she first discovered this icon, she didn't dare to look at it carefully, so she went to He Lizhou to ask. Now, thinking about it carefully, she understood something.
It turned out that Lili was really helping them. Peng Ningyu thought of the Lili in the copy who was a little bit rude but surprisingly kind-hearted and lively, and felt a little sad.
I don’t know whether the collapse of the copy will affect Lili’s life, and I don’t know what Lili’s fate and specific identity are in the copy.
Peng Ningyu's hand reached for the small matchbox icon, and the matchbox fell from the air and landed in her palm.
It was a very familiar matchbox outer box. Peng Ningyu opened it and saw that the matches inside were neatly arranged, as if they were brand new and unused.
Peng Ningyu picked up a match, and the system popped up a reminder again: "Ms. Lili only uses the best things, and this box of matches is no exception. It will never be used up, but it will take some time to recover~"
Even so, Peng Ningyu was very satisfied. In her opinion, props that had no consumption times were the most practical.
After reading the text explanation, she calmly returned to her own virtual space and thanked Lili in her heart.
I don’t know if I can go to Lili’s copy again in the future to thank her in person.
