Unlock
Since this dungeon is more difficult, the experience points given by the system are also high, which is equivalent to them having cleared five low-level dungeons. The inn can now be upgraded from level 2 to level 3.
He Lizhou looked at the lit "Upgrade" button and clicked it in front of all the hotel staff.
The system loaded slowly for a while and soon showed success, and the third floor of the hotel was successfully unlocked.
Rong Jia walked down from the third floor with his arms folded, with a satisfied look on his face, "Very good, I think it's not worse than the transfer hall in the system, you guys go and have a look."
He Lizhou followed the group and went up to the third floor. He saw that the new facilities on the third floor were no longer guest rooms, but two entertainment facilities, a gym and a chess and card room.
The hotel covers a large area, and there are only these two rooms on the entire floor. The facilities inside are very complete and it seems that they can accommodate three or four hundred people at the same time.
"Such a big place." Peng Ningyu couldn't help but exclaim, "If two people were in the same room, they would have to shout to talk."
Mi Tao also nodded. "This capacity is too large. It's far from enough for just a few of us. It would be better if we could bring in other players who have completed the low number of dungeons to live here."
Mi Tao's experience was different from that of the other people in the inn. Most of the others were brought back to the inn by He Lizhou after their first dungeon, and had not experienced the difficulties of players with low clearance volume. They were not qualified to enter the Void Trade Center with better conditions to rest, and could only squeeze in a place like a refugee relief shed.
The place was small and crowded, with simple beds laid out in rows. There was almost no personal space. When sleeping, if you turned over you might fall into someone else's bed. The air was damp and hot, mixed with the smell of sweat and all kinds of strange smells.
The lights are often not bright enough, like the kerosene lamps of the last century, emitting a dim light, making the room seem even more depressing.
It is never quiet, with voices everywhere. There are even some players with mental problems who squat in the corner and mutter day and night.
In a place like that, even the washrooms are shared, and the only building is a crooked supermarket, where you have to see the number of customs clearances before you can redeem your money, not to mention the gym or anything like that.
Before being noticed by the previous organization, Mi Tao and Ni Peng climbed up step by step from the bottom. He had squeezed through that kind of place and knew the suffering of the lowest-level players.
Even though Mitao didn't elaborate on the living environment of players who had completed a low number of dungeons, everyone was still silent. Even if they had never been there, they could guess that the environment would not be very good.
The system is forcing new players entering the game to play dungeons in that way.
If you want to escape from that kind of place, then you just have to keep clearing dungeons!
The system almost told those players this explicitly.
But how many people are willing to enter the copy? You may die in the copy at any time, but here at least you can save your life, even if it is a barely alive one.
Mi Tao realized that he had ruined everyone's fun, so he immediately said, "But as long as you enter the dungeon, the situation will change. Just work hard to climb up."
Everyone followed Xiaoxiao and went their separate ways, but they still felt heavy in their hearts. The infinite flow game was a ruthless place after all, and they were just extremely lucky to have met He Lizhou.
Sheng Ju was most interested in the chess and card room, and was also interested in relieving the heavy atmosphere. "I'm really going to be suffocated! I finally have something to play with, I'm going to study it quickly."
There are quite a lot of tables in this chess and card room, and they are divided into sections. Sheng Ju has studied them very well. "This is a mahjong table, and it's fully automatic! This is a poker table. I don't really like playing poker, but I can teach you. Zhou Zhou, do you know how to play? This is Go, I know a little bit. I know you can play this. Can you teach me sometime?"
“…What is this?”
Sheng Ju stood in front of a table at the deepest part of the chess and card room and touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.
"It's rare that there is someone you don't know." Mi Tao came closer. He didn't expect to recognize him. After all, he had very little contact with him. The only understanding he had was a simple one to prevent himself from entering the relevant dungeon.
As a result, he stood over and took a look. He actually recognized this familiar layout, "Ah..."
Mi Tao looked embarrassed and looked at He Lizhou for help, "Is this something I can say?"
Seeing the two men acting mysteriously, He Lizhou came over to take a look and also fell silent. He raised his hand and pressed a button under the table to lower the table.
Pretending not to notice Sheng Ju's strange and confused look, he pulled Sheng Ju's clothes and led him to the other side.
"Don't ask nonsense questions, kid. Come on, let's go to the gym."
The gym should always be full of sunny and healthy things.
Uncle Cui stayed in the gym the whole time. He was very satisfied with the gym and walked around it twice. "It's very spacious. Boss Xiao He will have a place to work out in the future."
The hotel is surrounded by empty space, and various scenes can be changed at will. It is very smart. He Lizhou is used to changing it to a running track during morning jogging and running around it a few times to maintain his physical endurance.
Uncle Cui has always been worried about this. In the eyes of this honest old man, all the employees in the hotel are children who don't know how to protect themselves, even though they have experienced life and death countless times in the copy.
Because of this, Uncle Cui always imagined that there was a bug in the scene outside, and He Lizhou was in danger alone outside, isolated and helpless, and was finally killed by the system.
Everyone in the hotel knew what Uncle Cui was thinking, and they all laughed and teased He Lizhou, "That's good, boss, don't think about sneaking out to play anymore."
He Lizhou followed the crowd and joked, "It's a pity that there is not a bigger locker."
The gym has a full range of equipment, but it does lack lockers, where you can put some snacks and drinks to replenish your energy in time.
Everyone laughed at He Lizhou for being too greedy, but they didn't expect that Uncle Cui really took it to heart. The next day, he moved a pile of wood from somewhere and built a storage rack with his own hands.
Rong Jia squatted aside and watched Uncle Cui's skilled craftsmanship, occasionally helping Uncle Cui pass a tool, and said sourly: "Uncle Cui is really good to Boss He, he remembers everything."
She was a grown-up girl, with an aloof and cold appearance and a cold personality, yet she was jealous of Uncle Cui. Uncle Cui couldn't help but glanced at her with a smile, "Don't tell me that I'm biased. I remember everything you said."
Uncle Cui really cares about everyone in the inn. When Sheng Ju goes out to play, he will remember the time and greet him outside the inn. Peng Ningyu is a new girl, so Uncle Cui is worried that she can't relax and chats with her. Rong Jia always likes to hang out in dungeons, so Uncle Cui is concerned about her injuries. It was Uncle Cui who accompanied Mi Tao and comforted him during the first few days after he arrived at the inn.
Uncle Cui's wife and children had passed away in the real world. After living alone for thirty years, he met a group of young people. Uncle Cui took care of each of them as if they were his own children.
Rongjia was not really jealous, she was just acting like a spoiled brat in front of her elders, and she laughed when she heard that.
When He Lizhou got up, Uncle Cui had already made the storage rack and was looking around the gym to see where would be the best place to put it.
This storage rack is very delicately made. Although it is made of wood, the edges and corners are not prickly at all and are polished very smoothly, which is obviously the result of skilled craftsmanship.
Seeing He Lizhou's astonished expression, Uncle Cui was also happy. "It's just a small skill that's not worth mentioning. It can make some makeshift things for the hotel!"
Mi Tao leaned against the door frame and watched from the side. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his eyes gradually softened.
He Lizhou took to heart what Mi Tao said yesterday. He thought about it all night and finally contacted the system using the identity of "Person in charge of number 3753".
The system was very rigid. He Lizhou explained to it for a long time before it finally understood He Lizhou's plan.
He Lizhou wanted to make his hotel a new transit hall and take full responsibility for the hotel's operations.
The system responded slowly. After a long wait, it said stiffly, "There has never been a precedent for this. The system needs to determine the level of number 3753 before making a decision."
After waiting for most of the night, this was the result. He Lizhou couldn't help but feel annoyed. He wanted to talk to the system again, but the system no longer received his messages. No matter what he said, it would only respond: "Level assessment of number 3753 is in progress. Please wait..."
Not knowing how the system determines the level, He Lizhou did not sleep well all night. He dreamed about the system rejecting his application, so he got up particularly late today.
Shengju has been spending all his time in the chess and card room. It's a rare place to relax, and he is enjoying the game.
Although the Void Trade Center is prosperous enough, it is mostly composed of apartments where players live and some shopping malls. There are very few entertainment facilities. Sheng Ju had long felt bored, and the chess and card room of the hotel was just right.
Yesterday, He Lizhou lowered the deepest table, and new options appeared on the hotel's control panel. This panel is open to all employees of the hotel. Sheng Ju picked and chose, and finally re-selected a pool table.
He Lizhou went over to take a look and confirmed that Shengju didn't have any strange tables open, so he let him go.
"Since you like this room so much, you will be in charge of it from now on."
Sheng Ju was playing a game and didn't react, so he asked casually, "What do you mean by responsible?"
He Lizhou had already decided in his heart that he would fight for the right to set up the transfer hall no matter what, but the matter had not yet been finalized, so he did not reveal too much to Sheng Ju, "You will know after a while."
He Lizhou didn't say anything, and Sheng Ju didn't force him. He nodded and said, "Boss Zhou Zhou won't harm me, so I'll be in charge of the chess and card room."
Mi Tao did look at He Lizhou for a second longer, but he was not sure whether He Lizhou could contact the system. In order to avoid being overjoyed, he kept his guess to himself.
Peng Ningyu didn't understand why, but still actively raised her hand to apply, "Then I'll occupy the back kitchen!"
She likes to bake desserts and often makes them for everyone. They taste very good.
Of course He Lizhou readily agreed. How could the boss refuse if the employee took the initiative to take the job?
Finally, everyone's work scope was finalized: the first floor was the lobby and the kitchen; Uncle Cui was in charge of the lobby, and Peng Ningyu was in charge of the kitchen.
The second floor is a row of ordinary guest rooms, which is managed by Rongjia.
The third floor is the gym and chess and card room; the gym is managed by Mi Tao and the chess and card room is managed by Sheng Ju.
After everyone has their own area of responsibility, the number of copies cleared by each area leader will be used to upgrade the area he is in charge of.
This one-to-one upgrade is more accurate and faster than upgrading the entire range at once, and the effect will be better.
As for He Lizhou, he was focusing on unlocking the fourth floor of the hotel.
