The next day, two guests checked out, while three others remained.
The cleaning company arrived on time to clean the rooms, and in just half an hour, both rooms were completely cleaned, and the bedding and toiletries were all replaced.
The cleaning fee of 60 yuan per room is not for nothing; these people are very skilled at this kind of work, and they do it quickly and well.
The rooms are cleaned daily, while the common areas are cleaned once a week.
During lunch, Wang Bing, with a gloomy expression, handed a shared mobile phone to Chen Yang. The screen displayed the backend of their online booking platform.
"Dirty! Chaotic! Terrible! The worst guesthouse I've ever stayed in, bar none."
A striking one-star review caught my eye one day.
The group all showed expressions of anger; it was obvious that their competitors were behind this.
"It's a pity I don't have any connections in Hangzhou, otherwise I would definitely find him," Wang Bing said bitterly. "I'll find someone to help us get the rating back right away."
Chen Yang quickly calmed down, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, just leave it. We'll get rid of these platforms sooner or later, so we won't need to find people to boost our accounts anymore. I have confidence in my inn."
Wang Bing was taken aback. Boosting ratings was something almost all businesses tacitly agreed upon, so Chen Yang's nonchalant attitude was truly unique.
"Well, I guess I was too hasty. I wanted to achieve results as soon as possible after changing owners. Our inn is positioned as a high-end business, so we should definitely get rid of the influence of these platforms as soon as possible."
Li Su'er comforted him, "Old Wang, it's alright. When I'm making tea with the guests who booked rooms online, I'll ask them to leave some good reviews."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "That's right, let the customers give their own reviews, we won't do it."
Wang Bing nodded, then busied himself greeting the new guests; he was the busiest person in the inn. Chen Yang was content to be a hands-off manager.
"Brother Yang, you have such a good attitude. I would have gotten angry in your place."
"My original intention was not to make money. It would be best if I could make money, but I don't care if I don't. If you won 8 million, you would have a good mindset too."
Jiang Yining smiled but didn't say anything.
In another guesthouse in HZ City, several people were sitting at a table chatting.
"They must be furious right now, but there's nothing they can do, haha!"
"There aren't many high-end guesthouses in HZ to begin with, so we need to stick together and let these small, small guesthouses close down as soon as possible."
"That's right. In a few days, I'll have my cousin book a room and give it a bad review. This time, I'll use a different platform and make sure his ratings on several platforms don't go up."
That night, Chen Yang followed the old man's routine and went to bed obediently at eight o'clock, which impressed Wang Bing and the two women.
Chen Yang was considering whether to give the three invitation codes for the world's inhabitants this month to the two girls and Wang Bing. If all three of them entered the micro-world, many of his tasks within it would become much easier.
At least he can now build fences or look for food without worry.
After entering the micro-realm, Chen Yang continued building a natural fence around the house. After a whole morning of work, he finally finished. The small wooden house was completely surrounded by thorny vines, with only one exit facing the flames.
Animals have a natural fear of fire, and the presence of fire makes the hut much safer.
When Chen Yang took the lucky man to check the traps, he saw another wild rabbit, which made him very unhappy.
"You still dare to jump around in front of me, blatantly provoking me. I'll stew you sooner or later."
Threatening words won't get Chen Yang any rabbit meat, but traps will provide him with some.
Of the several traps he set, only one caught a small bird, and another was triggered, but the snare remained empty.
"It's better than nothing."
There's not much meat in one bird, not nearly enough to eat, so he has to keep looking for food.
As they passed through a grove of trees, they heard a cacophony of bird calls. Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and he smiled as he walked into the woods.
Ten minutes later, he ran out in a disheveled state, with two birds flying around him, constantly trying to attack him. Chen Yang waved his spear to drive them away, while the European Emperor kept squawking.
After bothering Chen Yang for a while, the two birds flew away unwillingly.
"Sorry, sorry," Chen Yang said to the two birds that had flown away, but he had a smile on his face.
He held three bird eggs in his hand and happily put them into the bamboo tube.
"Today is a good day, all my wishes will come true, today is a good day, Chen Yang will have eggs to eat tonight." He hummed a completely off-key song and happily walked to the lakeside.
His excitement was instantly dampened; only a small fish, about the length of a finger, was swimming in the shallow puddle, while all the bamboo worms he had thrown in had disappeared.
The energy that little fish provides is less than that of those bamboo worms.
With no other option, Chen Yang had to use a spear instead of a harpoon to start stabbing the fish.
Most of the fish swam in the lake, and not many came to the shore. He spent the whole afternoon but caught nothing.
"Looks like you'll be the only one having dinner."
Chen Yang took the little fish and the egg back to the cabin, and he was really looking forward to the taste of the egg.
But misfortune never comes singly; two of the three eggs are about to hatch, and inside are fluffy chicks.
Chen Yang knew these were called balut (fertilized duck egg) and that they were edible, but he really couldn't bring himself to eat them; he wasn't that hungry yet.
"Oh, I should have known better than to steal bird eggs, what a terrible thing to do."
Fortunately, there was one egg that had just been laid; he had taken it from another bird's nest.
Dinner consisted of an egg and a small fish, which was far from enough to replenish the energy Chen Yang had consumed, and his stomach was still rumbling.
"Lucky you, grow up quickly so you can catch rabbits for me."
"Waaah."
The European Emperor called out twice, seemingly in response to Chen Yang.
"The stars here are so beautiful, I wonder if they're real."
A Milky Way hangs in the sky, captivating all who behold it.
The natural conditions in the micro-world are truly amazing, completely free of pollution, while HZ City is about to enter a period of smog, where not only will the stars be invisible, but even the moon may not be clearly visible at night.
Looking at the starry sky, a scene suddenly flashed through Chen Yang's mind.
Under a similar starry sky, his lips trembled and touched another soft pair of lips. His body stiffened, yet it felt as if a warm current flowed through every part of his body, making him feel so happy.
"What are you thinking about? You haven't even filled your stomach yet, and you're still having wild thoughts."
He muttered something to himself, then silently added some firewood to the fire.
As he watched the flames slowly burn, he suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment. He knew this was because there was no one to communicate with in the micro-world, but knowing this didn't mean he could dismiss the feeling.
Loneliness is something you can never get rid of on your own; you can only rely on others to dispel it.
"Once the inn is settled, let's bring Brother Wang and the others in."
It's definitely not sustainable for someone to always be alone in the micro-world. It might be okay in the short term, but over time, it can easily drive someone crazy. Humans are social animals and need the companionship of their kind.
The introduction to the Micro Realm is very detailed. Citizens of the Micro Realm are not allowed to reveal any information about the Micro Realm, otherwise their memories will be erased. This is the main reason why Chen Yang dared to let others enter the Micro Realm.
No secret can stay hidden forever. As the number of people in the Microverse increases, the truth will eventually come out. However, the Microverse's memory-erasing function can extinguish this fire directly.
