Chapter 92 Doomsday Manor 03
The two cautiously entered the rose grove.
Although the manor is only one kilometer away, the rose grove is actually quite large.
The road leading to the manor was very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.
If you accidentally fall, you will damage those already withered plants.
When they had traveled about a third of the way, Wen Qi saw an old man with a hunched back holding a torch, seemingly intending to burn down the rose grove.
Rule number three: If you see an old man burning rose bushes in the rose grove, please stop him immediately.
If you don't stop it, you're violating rule number three.
If you try to stop them, you will damage the rose bush.
At this moment, Wenjiu also noticed the old man.
"Sis, did you see that?" Wen Jiu asked softly from behind. "Don't you have almond water? Why don't you have a sip?"
"Mmm," Wen Qi responded, then took out the almond water and drank two sips.
She looked toward the rose grove, and the old man was still there.
It's not a hallucination!
She handed the almond water to Wenjiu and then began to summon Qi Jia.
"Xiao Jia, it's your turn. Fly over and eat that person or drive them away," Wen Qi said.
Upon receiving the order, Qi Jia immediately became invisible and flew towards the location of the old man.
After drinking the warm wine and putting away the almond water, the two continued along the path.
The fifth rule is that you must cross the rose grove within ten minutes.
Soon, Qi Jia returned to Wen Qi's body.
As for that old man, if he's a bad guy, just swallow him up. Who told him to block the master's path forward?
Unbeknownst to them, shortly after they drank the almond water, a rustling sound came from the rose bush behind them.
Because they had drunk almond water, the two of them couldn't hear anything, but they continued to move forward without looking back.
It took the two of them seven minutes to successfully cross the rose grove.
In front of the manor's courtyard gate stands a sign with some information written on it.
[Rules for Moving into the Post-Apocalyptic Manor]
This estate is open to the public; you can move in immediately with just your belongings.
【Pricing: For stays of 5 hours or less during the day, a single room costs 50 Ghost Coins per person per hour; from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, a single room costs 1000 Ghost Coins per person; from 6:00 PM to 6:00 PM, a single room costs 2000 Ghost Coins per person.】
[6:00-18:00, 400 Ghost Coins per person for a double room; 18:00-6:00, 800 Ghost Coins per person for a double room.]
2. The manor has only five floors, with four floors open to the public. The first floor houses the lobby, reception area, sales area, and restaurant.
The second, third, and fourth floors are all rooms, with ten rooms on each floor. The second floor has standard double rooms, the third floor has standard king-size rooms, and the fourth floor has single rooms, but the maximum number of guests accommodated per day is only twenty.
3. You can order food in the restaurant, but you must finish all the food you order.
4. This manor has only one owner and one servant. Sufficient patience is required to work on this manor.
[5. Check-in and check-out are not possible after 18:00, and guests are not allowed to leave their rooms after midnight.]
6. Rooms with red doors should not be booked.
7. There are only flower and bird paintings in the manor, no figure paintings. If you find any, please immediately notify the owner or servant of the manor.
8. There is an orchard and vegetable garden on the estate. No one except the estate owner may eat the produce directly from the orchard and vegetable garden.
9. If you wish to enter the fruit and vegetable garden, please ensure you have a drink in your hand and share it with any fruits or vegetables. When you leave the garden, you must make sure you see yourself in the mirror at the garden entrance.
10. If you see a tomato fall to the ground, you must pick it up immediately and give it to a servant.
[11. The manor owner and servants disregard any of the above rules.]
After reading through the check-in rules, Wen Qi finally breathed a long sigh of relief, only reaching the very last rule.
There are ten rules just at the entrance.
Fortunately, she and Xiao Jiu don't have to follow the rules.
Based on the pricing rules, earning 500,000 Ghost Coins doesn't seem too difficult at present.
The difficulty lies in the fact that only twenty people can stay each day, and whether there are that many guests is another matter entirely.
With so many rules to follow, many customers will be turned away.
Wen Qi looked at the tightly closed door; the key wasn't on it.
To the left of the door, there is a small mailbox with a note saying that the key to the main door is here.
Wen Qi walked over and rummaged through the mailbox, and sure enough, she found a key and a letter.
I opened it again, and there were some words written inside.
[Dear Cecily, by the time you receive this letter, your aunt may have already passed away.]
This estate is a huge fortune; you must manage it well.
Guests will be arriving every day; be wary of them stealing your estate, as they are among them.
I imagine your XX came with you too. I trust XX to be your steward and servant. You must all take good care of the manor and its fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables are very important; don't tell anyone except yourself.
Every morning at 7:00 AM, someone will deliver your groceries. Please pay them one tomato each day.
Every evening at 7 PM, someone will come to collect the [illegible] materials. If so, you must stack all the [illegible] materials together, ensuring they are completely [illegible].
Okay, that's all I wanted to say.
After reading the letter, Wen Qi folded and tore off the part about the fruits and vegetables being extremely important and only she could know about it. She then handed the rest of the information to Wen Jiu so that he could read it as well.
Presumably, Ceci is Wen Qi's name in this instance. As for Wen Jiu, her relationship with Wen Qi is probably random, so XX is used as a substitute.
After reading the letter, Wen Jiu returned it to Wen Qi.
"■■ likely refers to the guests who were killed in the clearance requirements, or possibly the people who came to rob the manor," Wenjiu analyzed.
“You’re right. The letter mentioned people who wanted to take the manor. I wonder if they are other relatives of my aunt who are eyeing this inheritance.” Wen Qi chimed in, expressing her thoughts.
"Killing the daily guests is not an easy task; it's almost impossible to achieve an SSS-level clear."
Wen Jiu nodded, glanced at the check-in rules, and said, "It's not impossible. If those guests don't know the check-in rules, and after they check in and pay, everyone breaks the rules, they'll be dead."
"As for those who haven't violated the rules, we guide them to violate them."
"But doing this, killing people for no reason, is never a good thing. We don't know who the guests staying here are."
"As expected of my brother, your idea is excellent," Wen Qi praised, her eyes darting around as if she had thought of something.
"Perhaps we can change the rule to the opposite and put the prompt here. Maybe there are other rules in the manor. Let's go in first."
