Chapter 114 The Deceased Wife (2)



Shekh hugged Shi Jin's broken arm, turned his head and whispered, "They're all alive, there's no problem."

"Then let's go over there."

The two walked towards the front desk first. As they passed the reception sofa, Sher glanced at the unconscious Cheng Youan out of the corner of his eye.

[Shou Bi Gu] With Liu Run, who is so close to him, does Cheng You'an know about the points auction?

If he knew, would he have also bought points for the discount?

If you bought it, you've missed out.

Shehe thought that she would have to talk to Shi Jinzhe about this when she got to the room.

You're rich, huh? If you're rich, then use his survival game app to max out your points to the highest price.

She wanted to kill Cheng Youan.

Anyway, these points will be exchanged for money no matter how much they are worth. They can be sold for 100,000 per point, and even more for 1 million per point.

If Shi Jinzhe still has any useless junk items, you can sell them all to him.

They've harmed so many snakes, yet they won't let Shi Jinzhe find a job and earn money. If this isn't a complete disaster, then they'll just squeeze him dry first.

The thought of making a lot of money from this game made Shekh feel instantly better.

As Shi Jinzhe walked, he felt a weight on his body and looked down at her, asking, "What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?"

How did you know?

"Because when you're happy, you like to lean on people."

When happy, they're shameless and clingy; when unhappy, they sulk and sit or stand stiffly.

"I'll tell you when we get to the room."

The two approached the counter, where the clerk in the red shirt maintained a polite and courteous smile, her hands moving methodically as she inquired whether the tour group had booked twelve rooms.

Shi Jinzhe nodded. Since she asked that question, it must be because that's how the system is set up.

"Please wait a moment."

The woman in the red shirt works quickly and demonstrates professionalism comparable to that of staff at top-tier hotels.

The professionalism elevated the already dilapidated Peace Hotel to a whole new level.

Shi Jinzhe leaned his arm across the counter and saw a sign that read "Pet-Friendly Hotel".

Beside him were a dozen or so people who had just checked out. They walked happily out of the hotel, muttering, "Finally, we don't have to stay in this lousy hotel anymore."

He counted them; there were seventeen people in total.

These people successfully left the hotel and walked into the fog.

"Sir, here is your room key."

The twelve room keys were handed to Shi Jinzhe with both hands. He glanced at them and saw that they were all for standard guest rooms.

First, Shehe chose one, and then Shi Jinzhe had Meng Chengxi come over and take one away.

He handed the remaining ten rooms to the player closest to him, saying, "They're all on the first floor, you can divide them among yourselves."

"So the room is booked like this...aren't we going to discuss it?"

Shi Jinzhe: "If you want to be in charge, then next time take the initiative to be the first to act."

The person receiving the card opened their mouth, but couldn't think of anything to say, so they closed it again.

Including Shekh, there were a total of 24 players this time, 14 men and 10 women.

There were no newcomers at this event, and everyone was paired up and assigned to rooms. No one was concerned about the gender issue.

Meng Chengxi declined other people's invitations and found an inconspicuous round-faced guy to live with.

Just as I was about to go upstairs, the group of people who had left came back, cursing and swearing.

Most of the people took off their monster masks, and they appeared to be a group of young people in their early twenties.

A tall, hot-tempered man strode up to the front desk and slammed his hand on it, exclaiming, "What's going on outside? We didn't hear about this kind of weather when we came here!"

The receptionist in the red shirt maintained impeccable manners, her ever-present eight-tooth smile unchanged.

"We regret that the weather is unpredictable, but the current conditions are not suitable for travel. For your safety, we suggest you stay an extra day. The hotel can offer you a 15% discount on your stay."

Liu Run interrupted, asking, "What's going on outside?"

He arrived at the hotel entrance, pushed the door open, and came in without going far.

The masked woman holding the black kitten complained, "There's such a thick fog outside, I can't see anything, and it gets thicker the further we go."

"Yes, it felt like the fog had become a solid substance, like thickened starch. People would sink into it. We couldn't even get more than ten meters out."

Shi Jinzhe overheard a bit of the conversation, and what followed was a barrage of complaints about the hotel's outdated facilities, poor stay experience, and demands for a cheaper price.

He found it pointless and didn't continue listening, instead leading Sheikh toward the elevator.

Meng Chengxi walked behind, and the round-faced guy followed him without saying a word. The four of them entered the elevator together.

Staring at the numbers on the elevator, Meng Chengxi said, "This instance clearly indicates that there will be a battle royale element, and there will definitely be a lot of ghost and monster elements. How about we consider collaborating? I think our collaboration in the charity instance went quite well."

Shi Jinzhe: "We can cooperate, but there's one thing I need to make clear. I have some grudges with those four people. There will definitely be conflicts in this game. If you cooperate with me, you'll need to take extra precautions."

"It's nothing." Meng Chengxi turned to ask the round-faced young man, "Do you mind? Do you mind if I help you change rooms?"

The round-faced guy shook his head like a rattle-drum. He only had three game experiences, and it would be a fool not to rely on a strong player.

"Alright then." Meng Chengxi looked somewhat haggard. He yawned and said to Shi Jinzhe:

"Before you came, that guy with the bandage on his head was really annoying. He looked down on everyone and acted like everyone owed him eight million. Just looking at him was annoying."

Shi Jinzhe: "Your description is quite accurate."

In the first few days after Cheng Youan came back, he looked at him with an attitude that said, "You don't deserve to use my things."

As they were talking, the elevator arrived.

The hotel is not tall, only seven floors, and the players' rooms are all on the fourth floor.

The elevator doors opened, but the two did not get out immediately.

Before me was a long corridor, without carpet. The gray-white marble floor tiles were polished to a shine, clearly reflecting the dim lights. Staring at the floor for too long would make one's eyes glaze over.

The decor was a style popular twenty or thirty years ago: wooden upholstery with printed wallpaper. The upper edges of the reddish-brown wooden panels had chipped paint and been touched up, and the walls showed two different shades of red.

The paint wasn't applied very well; there were solidified, runny marks that made the whole hotel look even cheaper.

It's not so obvious in the lobby on the first floor, but once you go upstairs, this nostalgic style becomes impossible to hide.

Shi Jinzhe said, "This hotel must be quite old; judging from the decor, it's at least twenty years old."

Meng Chengxi: "No wonder those people said the facilities were old."

Round-faced guy: "I feel a little creeped out..."

Shech stepped out of the elevator: "Are you guys leaving or not?"

Shi Jinzhe: "I'm leaving now."
