As soon as Su Wuning finished speaking, the receptionist's face turned pale.
Her hands, clasped in front of her, were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh. Why did this person suddenly appear and expose her?
"I'm sorry, that room has already been booked." The receptionist forced a smile back onto her face.
Shen Zhiyi was about to say something when Su Wuning stopped her.
Su Wuning stepped forward and saw the counter. He placed his hands on the counter, looked at the front desk with a half-smile, and said, "You don't think I'm stupid, do you?"
"I can't tell how many people have stayed at this hotel these past two days. The room next door is booked, but what about the other one?"
"When the cleaning lady was cleaning this morning, she left the doors to all the empty rooms open. You're not going to say that all these rooms have been booked, are you?"
Su Wuning stared intently at the receptionist's facial expressions, not missing a single one.
The receptionist was starting to lose her composure.
"Anyway, the rooms are full and no one can stay here." But the receptionist insisted on her previous statement and stubbornly refused to let Shen Zhiyi check in.
Su Wuning suddenly grinned.
"Then cancel my room reservation, I'm not staying here anymore."
The receptionist was taken aback, then hurriedly stood up, "You're not staying? That won't do!"
"No, I'll handle it for her. You absolutely can't leave."
The receptionist's words were strange, which puzzled Shen Zhiyi.
Just as Su Wuning was about to refuse the receptionist, Shen Zhiyi stopped him.
Su Wuning looked back at Shen Zhiyi, understood her meaning, and did not insist on leaving.
The receptionist gritted her teeth, glanced at Shen Zhiyi standing behind Su Wuning, and sat down to check her in. The room was right next to Su Wuning's.
After filling in her identity information, Shen Zhiyi received her room key.
The receptionist's expression had been very unpleasant since the beginning of the process, and Shen Zhiyi didn't bother to pay her any attention.
After getting the room key, I went upstairs with Su Wuning.
As soon as she entered the room, Shen Zhiyi said, "Something's not right with this hotel. They won't let you check out? What kind of logic is that?"
"Hey, actually I noticed something was wrong a long time ago."
Su Wuning slumped on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"This hotel is mostly frequented by men; very few women stay here."
"Moreover, I once encountered that the receptionist telling a girl that there were no rooms available."
However, there were indeed quite a few people coming in and out of the hotel those two days; I thought it was really crowded and the hotel was fully booked.
"I was just about to go downstairs to find something to eat when I discovered this."
After saying that, Su Wuning rubbed his stomach and reached out his hand, "I know you must have something to eat, so can I have something? I'm starving."
“…You’re so lazy, you might as well just stay lazy.” Shen Zhiyi said speechlessly as she pulled a fruit from her bag.
Su Wuning took a bite and asked, "What is this? I've never seen it before."
"Of course you haven't seen this before. I got it from some secret realm." Shen Zhiyi rolled her eyes and put Hu Yue, who had been carrying a doll on her shoulder, down.
Fox Moon rolled over on the bed and curled up on the side.
"You said your room has a small room?"
While munching on a noodle tree fruit, Su Wuning replied, "Yes, mine is a suite. I specifically requested a suite."
"I was thinking that you could just stay in my little room after you arrived, but the receptionist wouldn't let you stay there and I had to get a new room."
Shen Zhiyi sat down on another sofa, thought for a while, and then asked, "Have you met their manager?"
Su Wuning shook his head. In the past two days, he had only seen the receptionist at the hotel, and apart from the cleaning lady, he had not seen any other employees of the hotel.
"I don't know if their manager told them to do that, or if the receptionist did it on her own initiative."
Shen Zhiyi didn't understand either; she stayed behind simply to see what the receptionist was up to.
We can't let her interfere with our important business.
"Alright, get lost, I need to rest." Shen Zhiyi kicked Su Wuning's leg.
Su Wuning hissed, "Are you kicking me out already? Aren't you going to share your experiences with me lately?"
"What's there to share with you?" Shen Zhiyi stared at Su Wuning with a strange look in her eyes.
Su Wuning pursed his lips, picked up the half-eaten noodle tree fruit, opened the door, and went out.
Shen Zhiyi went over and locked the door, checked the room thoroughly, and after finding nothing wrong, released Black Wolf and Dried Fish. Then she went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Sitting back down on the sofa, Shen Zhiyi took out all the treasure chests and opened them one by one.
Fox Moon also rushed over to help Shen Zhiyi open the treasure chest.
They've accumulated quite a few treasure chests in West Town and North Town these past two days. Shen Zhiyi opened a few and then gave the chests to Hu Yue to open.
She began to examine the slips of paper one by one.
The wizard covets a treasure somewhere.
The goddess and the sorcerer secretly conspired to harm the sea god and the island's inhabitants, plotting to destroy the island.
The goddess is doing something meaningful.
The news that human sacrifice could resurrect people seems to have originated from the Forbidden Pavilion.
The Sea God is the last remaining deity. If the Sea God dies, the entire island will cease to exist!
The sea god has protected the ocean and its inhabitants for generations. Why would you harm them?
Mermaids have already been wiped out by humans. Are you really going to listen to others' lies and destroy the last mermaid?
If we can find the Trident of Neptune, I believe the Sea God's power will be restored.
It is said that the Poseidon's trident is hidden in a certain sea area, but even the sea god doesn't know where it is, so who would know?
Neptune Fork?
Suddenly, Shen Zhiyi had a flash of inspiration. The NPC's box was still with her; she had forgotten to put it back in the courtyard when she left.
She quickly took the box out.
The NPC will tell her a story about mermaids; it's definitely not that simple.
Besides, the box was something he always carried with him while fishing, so the NPC was definitely hinting at something to her.
Shen Zhiyi rummaged through the box and finally found a hidden compartment at the bottom.
Upon opening it, she found a sheepskin map inside.
I took it out and looked at it carefully; it turned out to be a map of the sea area where the Neptune Trident was stored.
After reading it, Shen Zhiyi immediately put it away, planning to find the NPCs in Central Town in the next two days and then go find Neptune's Fork.
However, this means there won't be enough time.
Fifteen days are almost up.
After tidying up the things scattered all over the floor, Shen Zhiyi climbed into bed, yawned, and fell asleep.
The next day, I had just groggily opened my eyes when the system's long-absent mechanical voice finally appeared.
