VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Chapter 159 (Goblin's den)

"Why's there such a long line?"

At the peak of afternoon, they had reached the place that was going to be their abode for the following few weeks.

"And are we really going to stay in this biiiiiiiig place~?"

The (Goblin's den) the best inn that was nothing less than a luxurious hotel in Kalp.

It was a very rare palace kind of architecture that was made with the help of many mages over the decades a long time ago and since its inception it has stood as one of the best inns not just in this city, but in the entirety of Cromwell viscounty.

"Haha, yes we are. And this place is famous as you can tell from this line."

Many people, be it players or natives of the areas around this city all wanted to stay in this special place.

However, the reason behind this long line despite the lavish appearance of this place was because of the unique way this whole place operated.

"Have you seen auctions, Misha?"

The gates of this place were huge, there were ladies wearing attractive old fashioned clothes before the gates, and beside them were a few notice boards.

Of the many floors of this special establishment that contained many rooms, there weren't many empty.

"Hmm? An auction?"

Some people who had financial status to constantly support them had taken permanent residence here, but there were still hundreds of rooms left here.

Still, if one is not a permanent resident here, they could only stay in this place for a couple of days.

They would have to pay upfront to get to their rooms, and if they could not pay up the next time, they could not renew their temporary residency.

"This is a special place that auctions out the rooms to the highest bidder, dear. And, they don't deal in cash but resources."

"That's right."

"An unconventional method, however, perhaps following this method is what made them a strong competitor of [Candlelight]."

They did not have to stay in the line or take the same door as the rest of them, but just for the experience, Alex led them through the front gate while crossing the rest of the people in the line.

She did not care about them and pulled Elio who was stunned by what she was doing.

"Hey Miss! What do you think you are doing?!"

There were some high level players among the crowd, there were rich merchants, and there were even important people from various other places. Yet, she just walked past them.

"There are some rare resources that are chosen randomly to be the [Core] for that day's resource code.

Anyone that has that certain rare thing can get their room by trading it and some other resources depending on the specially calculated prices.

The others would have to bid with the certain resources that are listed in the code, and anyone could participate in one round of auction each day that gives one a chance to bid on one room."

The profit they generate with this unique method is substantially higher than their revenue since the maintenance costs of the place are significantly decreased with the High Efficiency Employees.

"This place sure is amazing though…"

The interior of the place was spotless.

There was a unique red marble floor, the high ceiling was adorned with precious looking chandeliers, while the three receptions on the left, right, and center of the hall room were the most important aspect of this place.

The employees weren't all humans.

Elio could see some beast people, some cat ladies, some wolfkins, and even some half elves– all of them were hot as well.

They were professionals that were highly trained in all needed aspects, they had perfect kind of attractive bodies that most people uselessly loitering around here were attracted to, and they knew what they were doing.

[{ "You can look at them. They offer special services as well, if you are interested-." }]

She knew he was just admiring their professionalism and yet Alex started teasing him.

She knew he did not like it, but she would get upset if he said anything that he needed to say in that situation.

[{ "Sure. Let's invite some and have some fun together." }]

Sadly they were a monogamous couple, but one can have fun in more than one way.

"Wait, really?"

They knew how to have fun, with just them as well as with some other 'friends' around.

"If you want, why not?"

They hadn't done stuff like that yet, but he surely wouldn't miss a chance like this.

There were otherworldly beings here. He would be a fool to not use their Special services.

"Hello there. How can I assist you today~?"

Of the three receptions of the main hall, one was completely dedicated to the auction process so it was always the most crowded one.

The ones who won the auctions were sent to the right reception hall where they could complete the procedures, while the one on the left was solely dedicated to the Residents as well as people who were there to inquire about something important.

"Oh… mom, she's beautiful~."

The lady on the left reception was extremely pretty, had white hair and fox ears, as well as three tails that looked as pretty as her hair.

"Dear, we are doing something important." Misha was just admiring the fox lady's beauty, but in case she didn't disturb them, Miss Rin asked her to give them a moment.

But Alex shook her head at her and brought the young girl to the front. "Oh, it's alright. She's not disturbing us."

She then looked at the receptionist lady, and just as she was trained, she nodded at Alex with a smile and then smiled at Misha as well.

"Not at all."

Then she shook her head and gave a chocolate bar to the girl that was looking at her with stars in her eyes.

"O-oh! Thank… thank you!"

Misha was usually shy, and after receiving this little gift from the pretty person, she couldn't help her blush and just hid behind her mom while squeezing Az.

"Hahaha."

The rest of them laughed at her cuteness, even the receptionist lady did… and seeing this, Alex confirmed that this one knew exactly what she was doing.

"We would like to get to our room please. Oh, by the way, how long have you been here, Miss?"

Alex took out a certain key from her inventory and placed it on the reception desk.

"Oh, I'm pretty new around here… only sixty-two years."

"Sixty is still pretty good."

Alex nodded at her in approval, and seeing the key that was placed on the desk, the receptionist also confirmed these people were also residents that she had either never met, or someone that was just borrowing the rooms of some other resident.

In either case, she had nothing to do with it.

Who they were and why they had this key had nothing to do with her. She was there to do her job and she had been doing it impeccably for a good long time.

"Please come with-."

She was just about to hand them over to some other employee after checking their key's authenticity, however, the moment she actually held the key… a certain sensation ran down her spine.

"...?!"

Then she turned the key, and looked up at the [12] engraved on the crown of the key.

"Is anything that matters?"

Alex had a smirk on her face once again.

And seeing both Alex and the receptionist's expressions, Elio knew she had done something crazy once again…
