Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Bubble Hot Spring Hotel 8
In the elevator, Li Ying and Cheng Lixue took the initiative to greet them.
"I didn't seem to see you guys at lunch."
Luo Qing smiled, handed the bag in her hand to the man, pinched his palm, and adjusted the silk scarf on her collar.
"We spent quite a while in the hot springs last night, and we woke up late today. We missed the buffet time, so we had dinner at another restaurant."
For Luo Qing and Yan Fufeng, a couple whose biological clocks are almost fixed, even though they slept late last night, they woke up naturally before seven in the morning.
No one had to go to work, and no one was very interested in the water park, so there were very limited things to do in the hot spring hotel. After morning exercise, they took a shower and didn't eat until after one o'clock. When it was time to go out, Luo Qing had to be thankful that most of the clothes she brought were long skirts. It would be better to go to the outdoor hot spring in the evening when there were fewer people.
When she thought of this, she felt so angry that her teeth itched. She had bitten people many times before, but men were just thick-skinned and tough.
"We haven't tried other restaurants yet, so we don't know what the food tastes like," Li Ying said.
"The restaurants in this hotel are all good." Yan Fufeng said.
"They have several branch restaurants that specialize in Chinese cuisine. The Cantonese, Sichuan, and Huaiyang cuisines are all very authentic. The Chinese and Western snacks and cakes made in the bakery are also made with very good ingredients," said Luo Qing.
Their fingers were intertwined, and her lover's palm was rubbing against her palm. She turned her head and glared at Yan Fufeng's innocent eyes.
This hypocrite! He's pretending again.
In the elevator together, Cheng Lixue blushed, she could fully feel the silent surge of emotions between the two of them.
As soon as the elevator door opened, she quickly pulled Li Ying out first. Real couples are different from their fake couples.
Some learn, and some learn.
As the young couple exited the elevator, Luo Qing quietly pinched the man's shirt waist. She whispered in his ear, but her tone was vicious: "Wait until we get back, you hypocrite."
"Yes, wife~~~~"
Yan Fufeng lowered his head, his eyes blinking, his throat rolling, his tone soft, the word "wife" was stretched out soft and tender, and he managed to bring out a sticky ripple.
Luo Qing's face turned slightly red. What a stuffy guy!
"Let's go." Since the person was outside, Luo Qing resisted the urge to kick him again and led the person towards the coffee shop.
The afternoon tea venue at Bubble Hot Spring Hotel is not very big. As there are limited seats near the windows, the tea time and number of people are limited every day.
However, there seemed to be an extra number of people coming for afternoon tea today. As soon as the opening time came, there was already a line. Luo Qing was a little surprised.
On this weekend, shouldn't people come to the hotel to soak in the hot springs? Why are there so many people at afternoon tea?
"Miss Luo, the afternoon tea with a view you reserved is ready. Please follow me." The female waiter in a suit raised her hand to invite her and nodded at Luo Qing.
Luo Qing blinked. Qingyun had sent her a message today asking if she wanted to go for afternoon tea, and she replied with a yes. Now, even this was arranged. That was great!
Oh, it’s different wherever there are people.
She looked at Cheng Lixue and waved, "Xiao Cheng and Xiao Li, our seats are over here."
The afternoon tea at the Bubble Hot Spring Hotel is for four people. Luo Qing saw that the queue over there was a bit noisy, so she didn't mind bringing this young couple who had a good impression of each other in.
When Luo Qing called out like that, Cheng Lixue and Li Ying were very surprised and followed immediately. It was of course good not to have to queue.
Two minutes later, they were seated in the cafe, occupying the best viewing spot.
Luo Qing asked the waiter, "What's going on outside?"
Shang Qingyun had probably told them that this was one of their own, so the waiter in a suit didn't hide it: "During the off-season, the hotel launched a group purchase of afternoon tea packages online."
"The hotel has been experiencing a surge in customer traffic recently, so we removed the related group buy offer. Suddenly, a group of guests without reservations showed up wanting to have afternoon tea."
"According to the hotel's statistics of guests who have made reservations for today, there aren't enough seats in the cafe."
Luo Qing nodded, Yan Fufeng frowned, and they both asked in unison: "When did the group buy start?"
“Who opened the group buy?”
The waiter was a little embarrassed. "It was probably opened in March. I don't know which leader decided to open it."
"But I heard from the people queuing outside that a blogger recently posted a guide to group buying for the hotel's afternoon tea. I just searched it up and there's even a tutorial on how to avoid us. They even managed to change into their swimsuits in the restroom and pretend to be a resident to use the hot springs."
Luo Qing frowned, "Is the hotel's performance not good recently?"
"It's okay actually. But nowadays, there are all kinds of people, and there is not enough labor to do the work." The waiter said, looking towards the door.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Please order."
Cheng Lixue and Li Ying sat opposite Luo Qing and his wife and listened quietly to their conversation. Wow, group buying for afternoon tea is also popular in this weird world. From their experience, the hot spring hotel is also a high-end hotel, and group buying is also popular here.
They just saw the noisy group of people at the door, young and old, and some of them looked like a family.
The waiter handed over an old-fashioned menu that listed today's offerings, including savory dishes, desserts, and syrups.
Luo Qing is not very interested in desserts and can only accept desserts that are not too sweet. On the contrary, Yan Fufeng can accept sweets much more than her, but if they are too greasy, no one likes to eat them.
Luo Qing picked out osmanthus grass jelly syrup, hazelnut cocoa Basque, dark chocolate of varying strengths, and finally jasmine tea flavored ice cream. Her lover picked out even more, adding a little bit of salty, sweet, Chinese, and Western flavors, making a big hodgepodge.
The young couple opposite looked conflicted, but they still drew a few more on their order.
While they were checking the dessert menu, other guests came in one after another. Luo Qing turned around and took a look. It seemed that they were all guests who had made reservations with the hotel. He guessed that the dispute outside had been resolved.
She sent a message to Qingyun, but he hadn't replied yet. After a while, a cart of desserts was pushed over, and it was the familiar waiter. Luo Qing then started to ask about the situation outside.
The waiter, wearing white gloves, brought the desserts, which still had the aura of dry ice, to the table before speaking to Luo Qing.
"It's been handled. We've invited the group-buying guests to the revolving restaurant on the second floor."
Luo Qing nodded. It would be best if the hotel could handle it.
She picked up a piece of chocolate with a fork and saw that Qingyun had already replied to her message.
[Qingyun]: [Angry][Smoke rising] I'm catching a thief stealing towels in the bathing area. I'm also clearing out the non-hotel guests in the hot tub.
Looking at Qingyun's message, Luo Qing's mouth twitched and he handed the phone to his lover.
Although I have heard Qingyun complain about the various bad and weird things that a hotel front desk manager has to go through, I still feel speechless every time I see it.
"The population has grown, and there are people of all qualities. There's nothing we can do." Yan Fufeng held his forehead.
"We can't let them disrupt the normal order." Luo Qing was eating the high-concentration dark chocolate and was immediately bitter, frowning even tighter.
Order is not easy to establish, but once it is destroyed, it collapses quickly.
"I believe their professionals will handle it." Yan Fufeng moved the osmanthus grass jelly soup next to her.
Luo Qing suddenly changed the subject: "But husband, tell me, among these people who suddenly joined the group, there won't be the mysterious person who came to the hotel this time, right?"
Mysterious person?!
Li Ying and Cheng Lixue pricked up their ears. What? What? What?
The two of them didn't dare to interrupt and could only eat in silence. Cheng Lixue would taste something that didn't taste good and put it aside. Li Ying didn't dare to speak and picked up the food while eavesdropping.
Yan Fufeng was stunned for a moment. "It's hard to say. Anyway, the mysterious man came to the hotel just to cause trouble."
He casually glanced at the two people sitting opposite him, then used a dinner knife to cut a small piece of Basque for Luo Qing.
"Who is the mysterious man?" Cheng Lixue whispered at this moment.
Luo Qing glanced at her. "It's about supervision. Generally speaking, people from all walks of life come to visit secretly to check the different indicators of hotels and various stores. We usually call them mystery people. Some are practitioners within the industry, and some are specially hired external personnel."
Cheng Lixue paused while chewing the scone. Then, then this mysterious person must be the players like them!
"Is that so?" she said.
Luo Qing and the others seemed to be very familiar with the hotel staff, which meant that the hotel staff already knew that they, the experience officers, were here!
Thinking of this, Cheng Lixue's legs trembled under the table.
However, now that the indigenous people are "making trouble", given the current situation of her and Brother Li, have they been ruled out as suspects?
"Xiao Cheng, Xiao Li, you are planning to look at houses in the old city. Have you decided to get a job here?" Luo Qing's gaze shifted from the scenery outside the window to the young couple sitting opposite who were only focused on eating.
"Cough cough." Li Ying choked on a mouthful of cocktail and wiped his mouth.
"I've interned at Anxi Technology before, and I'm still considering a job. Life is convenient here in the old city, and the subway goes everywhere, so it's quite cost-effective." He smiled shyly.
He had indeed been to Anxi Technology. Well, in the copy, he was an intern. This was not a lie.
Upon hearing this reason, Luo Qing immediately felt that this young couple were people who could make a living, and anyone who could go to Anxi Technology for an internship must be a top student.
"Yes, yes. We just graduated and want to be financially independent, but we don't have much money. To live, we still have to rely on food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. The construction quality and sound insulation of old houses are better than new ones." Cheng Lixue nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Many of our friends are worried about finding a house. It would be great if we could go to your place, Sister Luo Qing, to look at houses." Li Ying said again.
"That's great, I'll accept anyone who comes." Luo Qing raised her eyebrows. She brought the young couple in together to build their goodwill.
Luo Qing carried a bag out today and now she has thrown a business card box in each bag, just in case of emergency.
"When the vacation is over, you can come anytime. If any classmates are willing to rent it, you can spread the word and I will give you a discount." She casually opened a handful of business cards, blinked, and threw them to them.
"Help you young couple build your first home."
Happiness, happiness comes too suddenly.
How would it feel like if five million fell from the sky?
Luo Qing threw a handful of business cards to them!
Li Ying and Cheng Lixue even felt a little dizzy. They were stunned for a moment, and then Li Ying immediately took the business cards. He didn't even have time to count how many there were.
"Okay, okay, sister. We'll contact you to view the house and promote it after we get back from the hot springs."
Fireworks were already going off in Cheng Lixue's mind. Wuhu! Take off!
The afternoon tea time was two and a half hours, but they did not stay that long. They ate until 4:30. The jasmine tea ice cream and green tea ice cream that Luo Qing used to finish the meal were both delicious. The fragrance of tea and flowers covered the milk flavor. It was slightly sweet and tasted refreshing, which gave people a great sense of happiness.
After finishing this afternoon tea, Luo Qing felt about eighty percent full, if not completely full. She felt like she had overindulged herself and had completely exceeded her calorie intake today.
They were not in a good condition to exercise now, so after saying goodbye to their young lover, Luo Qing and his wife took a walk around the hotel garden.
Li Ying and Cheng Lixue quickly ran back to the room. Li Ying suppressed the great joy in her heart and pulled Cheng Lixue to check the room first before she started counting the business cards.
One, two...sixteen.
The two of them sat on the sofa and counted over and over again. Li Ying felt that she almost couldn't recognize the numbers anymore.
"Brother Li, are you sure there are sixteen? There's no need to count anymore." Cheng Lixue looked at him.
"No need. Let's each take one and put it in your backpack." Li Ying instructed her.
The two of them each took one, and then stared at the remaining fourteen business cards in a daze.
"Brother Li, what should we do with the remaining ones? Didn't you say that many people in the forum are looking to buy them?" Cheng Lixue asked.
"According to the normal process of obtaining props in the copy, generally speaking, it is distributed according to who gets it and the contribution. We each get half." Li Ying said slowly.
Cheng Lixue was stunned for a moment. "So, we each get seven? But I've been relying on you in this dungeon, so you should take an extra copy. You take eight, and I'll take six."
She counted on her fingers, "There are six of them, that's enough."
Li Ying looked at her. "Who are you giving it to? Wait, you're giving it to the other two groups of players? Do you know how people on the forum are going crazy asking for this business card? A business card is like a life-saving talisman, and it will never disappear."
He felt that Cheng Lixue still didn't understand the meaning of Luo Qing's business card, so he began to explain in detail.
"Xiaoxue, take the seven business cards and exchange them for items at the official website. Alternatively, I can help you exchange them for high-end items, money, ghost coins, or anything else you want on the forum."
To the best of his ability, Li Ying is of course willing to help other players and provide some clues.
But, 16 business cards are equivalent to 50 million yuan falling from the sky, and he should give half of them to strangers for free?
"But we can only use one, right? As long as we don't lose it, it won't disappear. And didn't we just exchange it in someone else's name?"
"Brother Li, I don't know any other players. Apart from you, there are only the other people in this dungeon." Cheng Lixue scratched his head.
"I just, I just thought that in this copy, if I gave other people business cards, wouldn't they definitely survive? If, if I didn't give them business cards and they died..." She bit her lip, crossed her hands, and said stubbornly.
Li Ying told her more than once the importance of business cards. Even though Cheng Lixue had never been to the forum, she could feel it from the other players.
The two players I saw yesterday at noon disappeared overnight, died, and were gone. They were old players who fell into the trap of the dungeon.
But people can't just watch others die.
If you see someone jumping off a building on the street or drowning in a river, there will always be someone who goes to rescue them.
Li Ying looked at Cheng Lixue steadily, with a fishy taste on the tip of his tongue. He didn't know whether to describe the girl in front of him as stupid or simple, a pushover, or a saint?
After more than two years of dungeon experience, he has long been accustomed to the fact that players in the dungeon are "discarded on a day", "discarded on three days" or "discarded on a week". Once they die, they are dead. Sometimes there is not even time to mourn. He can only silently pray and continue to fight for his life.
When did he start to treat human life so lightly?
Li Ying didn't know either.
His heart was pounding. Li Ying closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and covered his face with his hands. "Xiaoxue, count out six and put them aside. There are eight left. We each get four."
"Take those six business cards away from me, don't let me see them." He said in a heavy tone.
Cheng Lixue was stunned by his expression, "Brother Li, no need..."
There was no need for Brother Li to pay for her decision.
Li Ying wiped her eyes silently
"Their identities are more complicated than ours, and we've never run into Luo Qing and the others. It's even harder to approach them and ask them to rent a room, and it's hard to get their business cards."
"Just take it if you ask me to. It's better if we can go and rent a place together than just the two of us. Hurry up and take it, I'm afraid I'll regret it."
Damn this copy. Sometimes I really want to be a person without conscience and bottom line.
