system
After leaving the "Character" copy, Su Zian was obviously much more stable than when he was inside the copy. Playboy was probably just his character setting in the copy.
Xu Zian waited for He Lizhou to open the door, and couldn't help but tease him, "You're so lazy since you left the dungeon. You've been sleeping until now?"
There is no concept of the passage of time in the system space, but everyone is still used to setting day and night and living a real-world schedule.
He Lizhou smiled and stepped aside to invite them in, "Come in quickly - Miss Bai didn't get enough rest last night, so go upstairs and catch up on your sleep."
Bai Yimei smiled and glanced at He Lizhou, "I was indeed a little tired last night, so I'll go up first."
Xu Zian and Jiang Jiang only knew that Bai Yimei was also a guest of the hotel, so they came together. Now, when they heard the tone between the two, they felt that something was not right, and they did not seem like just ordinary guests.
Jiang Jiang asked curiously, and He Lizhou didn't rush to answer them, "I'll tell you later. I'm not sure yet."
He saw the luggage bags behind the two people and said, "I will take you to the staff dormitory to pack them first."
After building the new staff dormitory, He Lizhou opened a back door behind the hotel so that everyone could go directly between the hotel and the dormitory through the back door.
Because there was no shortage of points, the dormitory building was built luxuriously, with many rooms reserved. Each person's room was also very spacious, almost a small suite.
"Employee benefits, no need to pay points." He Lizhou said with a smile.
Xu Zian said without hesitation, picking out an unoccupied room from the blueprint and saying, "I'll live in this room then."
Jiang Jiang carefully selected for a while and chose a room with a larger balcony. She smiled and said, "After I came out of the dungeon, my Wenwen followed me out too. I plan to build a small home for him on the balcony as well."
When Wenwen heard Jiang Jiang calling his name, he poked his head out from Jiang Jiang's wrist, and when he saw He Lizhou, he greeted him in a friendly manner.
He Lizhou looked at it curiously, lowered his head and said hello, "Wenwen is really smart."
At this point, He Lizhou also took out his own small sculpture, "I brought it out too."
Xu Zian was angry, "Wow, why are there still different treatments in the dungeon? Why can't I bring my talisman out?"
Jiang Jiang said proudly, "I asked Wenwen, he came out voluntarily, and the copy can't stop him, you go and ask for your talisman."
He Lizhou was thinking, is this the case...
He hasn't spoken since he brought the little sculpture out. He Lizhou thought that the soul of the little sculpture was in the copy and that he brought out only the shell. However, after seeing Wenwen's condition and what Jiang Jiang said, it seemed that it was not what he guessed.
Jiang Jiang turned around and said, "Hey, Boss He, what did your little sculpture say?"
He Lizhou shook his head. "He hasn't spoken since he came out. I'll try to talk to him when I get back."
Jiang Jiang was quite fond of the small sculpture. Although it was a wooden sculpture, it was very spiritual. She had a special physique and could feel it.
She reached out and gently touched the top of the little sculpture's head. "Boss He, if you want to keep him, you can give him a name. Names are the bond between them and their owners."
After Jiang Jiang reminded him, He Lizhou realized that he had always called him "little sculpture" and had never thought of giving him a proper name. He couldn't help feeling guilty and bowed his head to promise the little sculpture, "I'll go back and look it up in the dictionary right away."
Jiang Jiang smiled and said, "Then let's pack up first. You go back and name the little sculpture. We'll come back to you to get some work after we're done packing."
*
After He Lizhou returned, he actually found the dictionary. The reading room had just been unlocked, so He Lizhou was looking through the dictionary while asking for opinions on the small sculpture.
"You should be a boy, right? I saw you as a little boy in my dream."
"Well, how about a neutral one?"
The little sculpture naturally didn't respond, but He Lizhou enjoyed it.
"Let me see, I remember you arrived in that room in winter - how about full winter?"
The more He Lizhou read the name, the better he felt it was. He readily accepted it and read it twice to please himself. "Man Dong, I think it's very good. If you don't like it, come to my dream and tell me about it."
Just as the name was finalized, there was a knock on the door. "Boss He, are you in there?"
He Lizhou recognized Jiang Jiang's voice, so he closed the dictionary and opened the door of the reading room. "Are you guys done packing? Then come to work!"
Xu Zian complained: "You are such a black-hearted boss. You showed no mercy to your employees on their first day. I think you were originally a capitalist."
He did not say which world He Lizhou was originally from. In fact, Xu Zian was also very hesitant. He didn't know whether He Lizhou was a player from the same world as them, or was really a special NPC as said in the forum.
If it is a player from the same origin, he will naturally understand the meaning of his words. If it is a special NPC, Xu Zian will not be considered to have revealed the system's information.
He Lizhou smiled and thought to himself, you guessed it right, I really am a black-hearted boss.
However, he also heard the ambiguity in Xu Zian's words about his identity. Since he was already an employee of the hotel, He Lizhou did not intend to hide it from them and told them his identity.
"I am actually a player, but you can think of me as a 'black account' in the game. The only difference between me and you is that I will not be forced to enter the dungeon."
Xu Zian looked envious, "It's great that I don't have to enter the dungeon. I almost have to enter the dungeon every day to gain experience points."
He Lizhou immediately exploited, "Then take advantage of this momentum and go to the reading room to do some big work."
Xu Zian: “…”
Jiang Jiang: “…”
"It's not unfair to say that you are a black-hearted boss."
"Thank you so much..."

"It seems that the materials in the reading room are not only the books we have, but also the materials that the system has scavenged from somewhere. They do not conform to the theme of peace and promote violence and blood. We have to pick out those books and deal with them separately. They cannot be shown to customers."
Xu Zian and Jiang Jiang were not stupid people. They understood what He Lizhou meant immediately and nodded.
"This is a difficult task. I will go with you and take my time to choose. I will give the spa room next door to Uncle Cui first."
Uncle Cui was in charge of receiving guests in the lobby. The hotel was now full, and it was also a trial operation, so He Lizhou also intended to control the flow of people. Even though several customers had left the hotel, it was not open again. So Uncle Cui left the room vacant temporarily and happened to take over the spa room.
None of the three were talkative or slow-moving, and they started to work after assigning the areas.
The reading room has a large bookshelf. Although there is a ladder, it is still not very convenient to go up and down, so Jiang Jiang found a topic to chat.
In the empty reading room, with the occasional whispers of people, He Lizhou actually began to feel sleepy.
His last thought before he fell asleep was, I clearly slept for ten hours.
*
It was still a familiar place. This time when He Lizhou came again, he was no longer panicked.
He stood there for a while without making any sound, so he spoke first: "09?"
System 09 laughed, "How did you know it was me?"
He Lizhou couldn't help laughing, "You are the only one who can pull me in."
System 09 seemed to think for a while, then gave up studying human speculation and said, "I called you here because I have good news!"
He Lizhou originally thought that the hotel's upgrade to a formal transit hall had been settled, but when he thought about it carefully, it had only been open for two days, and the other systems would not agree so hastily.
Sure enough, System 09 did not mention the upgrade, but the new news was also very beneficial to He Lizhou. "We discussed your hotel problem again and felt that it already had the prototype of a transit hall, but the capacity was too small, so it has been stuck here. I know Sheng Ju wants to enter the time and space dungeon for research. I will help you arrange the next dungeon, but it may be difficult. Please ask Sheng Ju to prepare."
He Lizhou frowned, "Is it difficult? Can I go with him? Or can I go with someone else, Rong Jia or Peng Ningyu?"
Rongjia is the person who has entered the dungeon the most in the inn and has sufficient experience; Peng Ningyu and Shengju have cooperated many times and have a tacit understanding.
However, System 09's words were an irrefutable denial, "No, he has to go. I can only intervene up to this point."
He Lizhou also knew that their systems had their own division of labor, so he didn't say much, "Okay, thank you anyway."
When he said this, he felt very uncomfortable. He and the system were obviously in opposition, but System 09 seemed to be sincerely helping him every time.
He Lizhou accepted the kindness of System 09, and as time went by, it became difficult for him to speak harshly to him.
Obviously everyone was trapped in this place by the system, and so many people died.
System 09 was very good at analyzing people's minds. As soon as He Lizhou spoke, he knew what He Lizhou was struggling with. "I did this voluntarily. I like you. You can't affect us."
Hearing System 09's words, He Lizhou felt as if a secret thought in his heart had been exposed, and he felt even more uncomfortable.
System 09 seemed to be busy with the forum matters as well. This time, he called He Lizhou over and only talked about this serious matter. He then quickly let He Lizhou go back.
He Lizhou thought of something before leaving and asked hurriedly, "Do you know Bai Qiuliang?"
"Bai Qiuliang? What do you want to do with him?"
System 09 undoubtedly knew the answer, so He Lizhou continued to ask: "Can you tell me where he is?"
System 09's tone changed. It was no longer as gentle as before when it treated He Lizhou. "He—don't ask him anymore, and don't get close to him."
System 09 paused for a moment, then continued, "Where did you hear this name?"
He Lizhou subconsciously felt something was wrong, but he didn't mention Bai Yimei, he just shook his head, "I forgot, it suddenly appeared in my mind."
System 09 was silent for a while, and it was unclear whether it believed it or not, but in the end it still safely sent He Lizhou back to the hotel.
After He Lizhou left, System 09 said to itself, "He lied to me."
When He Lizhou returned to the hotel, Jiang Jiang and Xu Zi Anquan looked at him nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he opened his eyes, "You're finally awake, are you so sleepy?"
Xu Zi'an's eyes were filled with confusion. He was full of energy, but he didn't sleep much. He didn't understand why He Lizhou "fell asleep anytime and anywhere."
He Lizhou gave a brief explanation, then hurriedly found Sheng Ju and asked him to prepare to enter the copy.
Leaving Xu Zian shocked, "The system's way of summoning people is so simple and crude."
