Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 30: Changning Base

Chapter 30

If that were really the case, it would be quite interesting.

Which scoundrel had the audacity to try and deceive her?

When she arrived at the main hall, she saw that new guests had arrived.

It was already past 8 PM, during Fang Yang's working hours.

He was wearing his staff uniform and looked energetic, but at the moment, two blonde, blue-eyed foreigners stood before him, rattling off a stream of foreign words.

Fang Yang: "..."

Heaven knows, his English was actually quite good.

The problem was, these two foreigners weren't speaking English at all! He couldn't understand a word!

Seeing his continued confusion, the two foreign guests grew anxious. They spoke while gesturing, but Fang Yang still couldn't understand. He could only look pleadingly towards Gu Wanyin.

Gu Wanyin thought: Don't look at me, I don't understand either!

She mentally addressed the system: "System, do you have a translation function?"

"Yes, host."

"Can you make what those two are saying automatically turn into Chinese in our ears? And do the same for any future foreign guests, and make what we say turn into their language in their ears."

"Certainly, host. Activating translation function."

As Fang Yang was getting anxious, the words coming from the two people's mouths suddenly changed to Chinese: "...Is it safe? Are there no zombies? Is there food?"

Fang Yang was startled, but he reacted quickly, immediately putting on a standard smile and saying: "Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Peace Hotel! Our hotel..."

He began to enthusiastically introduce the hotel to them, and showed them the hotel rules.

Of course, the text of the rules was automatically translated in the eyes of the two foreigners.

The two were delighted and quickly had Fang Yang check them in to room 304.

Gu Wanyin curiously asked: "System, what language were those two speaking just now? I couldn't understand a word."

"Oh, Bulgarian."

Gu Wanyin: "..."

The next day, Gu Wanyin prepared to drive to Changning Base, which was a bit farther from the hotel.

This base was smaller than Haikang Base, but much better than Sunshine Base. It housed mostly level two and three ability users, with about 200 people in total.

Although it was quite far, she now had a car, so she could definitely make it back before dark if she drove.

Before leaving the base, she picked up a portion of pork and cabbage dumplings. The system thoughtfully packed them in a takeout container for her, along with a bottle of Sprite, to serve as her lunch for the day.

The car the system gave her was parked in the parking lot behind the hotel.

It was a white sedan, just like a normal car, comfortably seating four to five people.

Gu Wanyin got in and habitually fastened her seatbelt.

Before her transmigration, she had a driver's license and was quite proficient at driving.

The system told her not to worry about running out of fuel; she could drive as she pleased.

So, Gu Wanyin drove away from the hotel.

Xu Shi stood at the hotel entrance, waving to her and smiling as he said: "Good luck, boss! Bring back lots of customers!"

It wasn't even noon when Gu Wanyin arrived at Changning Base.

She parked the car a little distance away, then walked over to see several people queuing to enter at the gate, with three guards talking to those going in.

Gu Wanyin inquired and found out that to enter Changning Base, ability users of level two and above only needed to contribute a small amount of supplies.

For those below level two, they either had to hand over five level-one or higher crystals, or a large quantity of supplies.

This posed a problem for her.

She had no abilities, nor did she have any crystals or large amounts of supplies...

At this moment, the system spoke up: "Five level-one crystals have been placed in the host's backpack."

"Really?"

Gu Wanyin immediately took off her backpack and opened it to find that there were indeed five level-one crystals inside.

"System, you can even give me crystals? But I haven't completed any tasks right now. Giving me crystals for free, won't that violate the rules?"

Gu Wanyin now considered the system as one of her own, no, as her own system, and naturally didn't want it to be punished.

"It's like this, host. Since you're coming to Changning Base to recruit customers for the hotel's business, me giving you crystals to help you enter Changning Base doesn't violate the rules."

"I see." Gu Wanyin understood.

But then she thought of something else and asked: "Wait, if you can produce crystals, why don't you just exchange crystals for points directly?"

The system seemed a bit exasperated by her foolishness, and after a moment said: "I am a management-type system. The points must be exchanged from things the customers themselves possess, and then spent in the hotel to count."

Gu Wanyin thought about it and realized it made sense.

Otherwise, with all the food, drinks, entertainment, and utilities in the system, couldn't it just freely exchange points and easily be number one every month?

"Haha, I was being stupid just now, just forget about it," Gu Wanyin said embarrassedly.

The system coldly replied: "This system doesn't forget anything."

Gu Wanyin: "..."

She took the level-one crystals and went to queue.

When it was her turn, the guard at the gate looked her up and down and asked: "You came alone?"

"Yes," Gu Wanyin said, "I'm not an ability user, but I have five level-one crystals here. Can I enter?"

The guard looked somewhat surprised, not expecting that a girl who looked so weak and had no abilities could survive alone until now, and even have crystals on hand.

Was she some kind of lucky charm? How could her luck be so good?

But he quickly regained his composure and said seriously: "Of course you can. But I should warn you, once you enter Changning Base, you'll still need crystals for supplies or a place to stay. Otherwise, you'll have to go hungry and sleep rough in here."

"Mm, understood. Thank you."

Gu Wanyin handed over the crystals and entered Changning Base.

She wasn't planning to eat or stay here anyway.

She just needed to promote her hotel a bit and then leave.

After entering Changning Base, she found it was far superior to Sunshine Base in every way.

At the very least, the buildings lining both sides of the road looked proper, with occasional apartment buildings. The roads were clean, and there were even people setting up stalls, selling some kind of pancake made from an unknown mush.

These pancakes looked completely unappetizing, yet there were quite a few people queuing for them.

Gu Wanyin had no interest in trying them, and she didn't have spare crystals to buy them anyway.

She just wanted to promote the hotel quickly.

Although many people's gazes were fixed on her, the order in Changning Base was clearly much better than in Sunshine Base. There were several uniformed people patrolling from time to time, so no one dared to do anything to her.

She saw about seven or eight people gathered chatting nearby and immediately walked over, ready to start there.
