Over the next few days, the owner and staff of Weijie Inn developed a good habit of going to bed early and waking up early.
Wang Bing and the two women took turns on duty until 10 p.m., while everyone else went to bed promptly at 8 p.m.
In the past few days, they have built a fence, cleared a small plot of land to plant potatoes, set up several more traps, and made benches and a dining table. Their life is slowly taking shape.
Unfortunately, they still haven't caught any prey themselves, but their traps have yielded quite a few results, including a number of small birds and pheasants, and even a rabbit.
Of course, they caught a mouse, but the two women refused to eat it and it all ended up in Chen Yang and Wang Bing's stomachs.
Meanwhile, the operation of Weijie Inn has been very stable these past few days. Wang Bing drove Chen Yang's car around and got to know many colleagues in HZ City. When other hotels and inns are full, he can recommend Weijie Inn for accommodation.
Although it wasn't as packed as during the trial operation period, it was still about 80% occupancy. The most expensive room, "Remnant Summer," was never empty, as these wealthy guests really liked it, especially Guo Zifeng, who booked three nights.
Given the presence of wealthy clients like Guo Zifeng, Chen Yang implemented a new rule: regardless of who it is, they can only stay for a maximum of two nights at a time. They can only check in again after ten days.
This rule can be described as inhumane, or even unbelievable.
Wang Bing talked to Chen Yang for a long time about this, but was persuaded by Chen Yang instead.
"There will only be more and more regulations, and prices will rise in the future."
Not only that, Chen Yang also directly removed the Micro World Inn from all online platforms, which directly resulted in the Micro World Inn's occupancy rate being only 40% that night.
This swift and decisive action stunned Wang Bing and the two women. It has to be said that Chen Yang is truly courageous. Wang Bing asked himself, even with the support of the Micro Realm, he might not be able to achieve what Chen Yang has done.
The heads of several major online platforms came to Wang Bing to understand the situation, and one of the heads of major platforms even made sarcastic remarks.
"It's just a newly opened inn, they don't know their own limitations."
"You are digging your own grave by doing this. Even well-known inns that have been operating for one or two decades need to rely on our platform. Your small inn, which has just opened and is not in a good location, I don't know where your boss got the guts."
Before Chen Yang could even get angry upon hearing these words, Li Su'er exploded, berating the person in charge of the platform and then kicking him out of the inn.
Chen Yang's actions have also made him somewhat famous in this circle.
Unless it's an internationally renowned boutique inn, who would dare to have such confidence? They only allow a maximum stay of two nights and do not cooperate with any online platforms.
The guesthouses that had previously teamed up to leave negative reviews on online platforms weren't happy at all, because they had wasted their money and didn't need to suppress such competitors.
Meanwhile, in the Micro Realm, the people at the Micro Realm Inn were gathered around a campfire, barbecuing.
"Chen Yang, isn't this going too far? Our inn's occupancy rate has only been 40% these past few days, and there were no guests at Canxia yesterday."
"Brother Wang, don't worry. Just observe the customers carefully lately. Next month, bring in three more people. They don't necessarily have to be rich, but they must have good manners. These kinds of people usually have spiritual pursuits and yearn for places like Microworld."
Wang Bing nodded. As long as the Micro-World is gradually established, connections will naturally follow. The inhabitants will surely spread the word about the Micro-World Inn's existence. At that time, the five rooms at the Micro-World Inn will definitely be in high demand.
However, this will take some time.
Jiang Yining also smiled and said, "Brother Wang, there's no need to rush. This period of time is perfect for building the micro-world and providing a better environment for the future inhabitants."
"Stop discussing this, let's eat chicken!" Li Su'er said impatiently.
This pheasant is special; it was shot by Li Su'er. This is their first prey that they have actively hunted.
“I think it’s time to start exploring more distant areas,” Chen Yang said.
So far, they have only been active around the cabin and the lake near the cabin; they have not explored the woods behind the cabin or in the more distant directions.
The development rate of Microworld has only increased by 5 percentage points, and Chen Yang's task has not made any progress so far.
He failed to complete either the captivity or the cultivation. He tried confining a mouse inside a wooden stake for a day, but it showed no reaction. The potatoes he planted hadn't sprouted yet, and the transplanted mint didn't count as cultivation.
"Chen Yang, let me go with you to check out the fishing traps today, and see if there's anything we can pick," Jiang Yining said.
Chen Yang nodded, and then the two set off for the lakeside, with Ou Huang following closely behind.
The little one is growing very fast. Now he doesn't need to be carried much anymore and can run around by himself, but he gets tired very quickly.
They set up several fishing traps by the lake in the past few days. Jiang Yining learned a method of weaving fishing baskets and made two with thin wooden strips and bark ropes, which worked very well.
"Three more today."
After inspecting the fishing traps, Jiang Yining smiled and said to Chen Yang.
"I also have two here, one big and one small." The simple traps that Chen Yang set up as soon as he entered the micro-realm also yielded results.
"Let's put them all in this little puddle, we'll come back later."
Jiang Yining wanted to find some usable plants or wild fruits. She spent most of her time near the cabin and rarely came to this area by the lake.
"You could open a fish farm now."
Looking at the few fish in the shallows, Jiang Yining said with a smile.
But her unintentional remark stunned Chen Yang.
Yeah, why didn't he think of that? He could raise fish!
The conditions here are excellent; if they simply dredge through the nearby shallows, they can have a small fishpond of nearly 100 square meters.
Moreover, the surrounding area is filled with aquatic plants and vegetation, forming a natural small ecosystem, so there is no need to specially feed them.
The task only required raising animals in captivity, without specifying the animals to be raised.
Enclose a small fishpond, then slowly release fish into it. Once these fish can reproduce naturally, this should fit the concept of captive breeding.
"Yining, call Brother Wang and Su'er to help us. We need to dig a fishpond."
Chen Yang said to Jiang Yining with a smile.
Jiang Yining was taken aback, then immediately understood Chen Yang's idea.
“Good idea. Many small fish don’t actually get much energy from eating them, so it’s better to keep them as pets.”
Chen Yang smiled and nodded. He thought so too. They could put any small fish they caught into the fishpond, and he believed that a small ecosystem would soon form.
Jiang Yining jogged back and called Wang Bing and Li Su'er over, while Chen Yang started digging directly.
He kept the original shallow beach for catching fish, and walked to another spot a few dozen meters away, which was a bit far from the lake and had several puddles of different sizes.
As his feet sank into the mud, Chen Yang couldn't help but sigh:
"I never imagined I'd become a pond owner too."
