Chapter 4: From the End of the World Three Years Ago
July 27th, the 29th day of the sixth lunar month, is a good time to open a business, pray for blessings, and offer sacrifices. Chen Wenjiu chose this auspicious day to open its business.
Of course, even if he chose to open on this day, Chen Wenjiu didn't get up early in the morning. Instead, he didn't get up until after seven o'clock. It was already nine o'clock in the morning when he opened.
Chen Wenjiu asked He Zui to set off firecrackers in front of the hotel door to announce the opening, and then everyone in the village sent their blessings to Chen Wenjiu.
Although everyone is not very optimistic about this hotel, they still sincerely wish Chen Wenjiu's hotel a prosperous business.
After setting off the firecrackers, Chen Wenjiu stopped caring so much and sat behind the front desk in the reception hall playing with his mobile phone.
She had already placed signs at the entrance of the village and at the intersection, reminding her that there was a hotel in Maoyang Village. The sign was quite big.
She had done what she could, and Chen Wenjiu didn't do anything more.
Chen Wenjiu looked at the game interface on her mobile phone. It was a business game she had played when she was still in college. The name was "My Simulated Hotel", which was similar to the system bound to her.
When the system bound her, she felt that the game she was playing had come true.
However, she has unlocked all the rooms in the game, as well as all the furniture, food, etc., but there are still a few maps that she has not yet unlocked.
The system bound to her was initialized, and she had to spend money to unlock the room again. She didn't even know where the guests could find it.
Chen Wenjiu is guarding the front desk, while He Zui, the restaurant chef, is at the restaurant. Now that there are no guests, he is more leisurely.
As the only employee in the hotel besides Chen Wenjiu, He Zui's accommodation problem has been solved by Chen Wenjiu.
Before, Chen Wenjiu took He Zui to her uncle's house and asked He Zui to live in the uncle's empty room first, waiting for her to unlock the staff dormitory before moving back. Now she really has no money to unlock the staff dormitory. .
As for letting the other person live in another room on the same floor as hers, it would be better for a weak girl like her not to live alone on the same floor with a young and strong man.
Now Chen Wenjiu hopes that the business will be better, so that she can have money to unlock the staff dormitory. Otherwise, it would not be good for our employees to live in their uncle's house all the time.
On the first day of business, there were no customers during the day.
It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Chen Wenjiu suddenly noticed two figures in front of her hotel. Her first thought was -
A guest finally arrived? !
"Welcome!" Although Chen Wenjiu was very excited in his heart, he still tried hard to maintain his composure and greeted with a smile.
The older of the two figures looked at Chen Wenjiu hesitantly, assessed her lethality and asked, "What is this place?"
Chen Wenjiu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "This is a hotel. How did you find it if you didn't know?"
Why would she come here if she didn't know that she runs a hotel here?
and……
Chen Wenjiu looked at the two guests in front of him. Their faces were a little dirty but not too dirty. The clothes on their bodies were also a little dirty and torn in some places.
Chen Wenjiu was a little confused. Did the two guests encounter any danger? Otherwise, why would it be dirty? And he looks injured?
"Hotel?" The vigilant woman looked at Chen Wenjiu in surprise, then glanced at the clean place and said hesitantly, "Is it a hotel where you can pay to stay?"
"Yes." Chen Wenjiu nodded.
The woman looked at the child in her arms, and then at Chen Wenjiu. After sizing her up to make sure that her lethality was really not high, she asked hesitantly, "If this is a hotel, how can you pay? You can use it. Crystal nucleus?"
Crystal nucleus? What crystal nucleus?
Chen Wenjiu, who had read a lot of online novels, was a little puzzled. When she heard the word crystal core, the first thing that came to her mind was zombie crystal core, World of Warcraft crystal core, and the like.
But the two people in front of me didn't look like they were dressed in a Western magical world. Could it be the end of the world?
Chen Wenjiu wanted to roar at the system: Where did you find the guests?
Although she knew very well that since she was bound to the system to open a hotel, the system would definitely help her get customers, so she didn't have to worry too much about not having any customers. but! She never thought that the first guest would come from the apocalypse!
Chen Wenjiu asked with a stiff smile on his face, "Excuse me, where are you from? No, I'm asking, when was it there? What year?"
The woman looked at Chen Wenjiu in confusion. Although she didn't understand why she asked, she still replied, "The last three years, don't you know?"
I do not know! Chen Wenjiu screamed in his heart.
Although she wanted to scream very much, Chen Wenjiu still welcomed the person in and said with a smile, "You guys go ahead and do it. I'll see if I can pay with crystal cores."
The woman looked at Chen Wenjiu and then at the reception hall. Although she still remained vigilant, she accepted the kindness and sat down on a chair in the reception hall with her daughter in her arms.
After Chen Wenjiu returned to the front desk, he checked the computer of the front desk cashier equipment distributed by the system and asked if he could pay with crystal core.
Then Chen Wenjiu saw the hotel's redemption standards.
Crystal cores can indeed be paid. A level 1 crystal core can be exchanged for 100 yuan, and the hotel lounge only needs to pay 200 yuan a day to stay, which is two level 1 crystal cores.
After Chen Wenjiu understood, he smiled and said to the mother and daughter over there, "Crystal cores can be paid. The lounge next to our store can accommodate more than ten or twenty people to rest together."
"In addition to the lounge, there are two rooms upstairs for rest. The price of the lounge is two level 1 crystal cores a day, and the room upstairs is three level 1 crystal cores a day."
"Guests, do you want to stay?" Chen Wenjiu asked with a smile.
The woman, that is, Chen Lan, looked down at her daughter in her arms and asked, "Momo, do you want to stay?"
The child in Chen Lan's arms, that is, her daughter Chen Momo, nodded and said, "Mom, I want to stay. It's so quiet here and I feel so safe."
"Mom, I'm hungry." Chen Momo said.
Chen Momo is only a five-year-old child. When the end of the world came, she was only two years old. In the past three years, she has followed her mother to escape death countless times, and she has matured a lot.
But no matter how mature she is, she is only a five-year-old child. She wants to stay in this seemingly safe hotel and eat delicious food.
Chen Lan looked at the child in her arms and her eyes could not help but turn red.
Her child suffered. Although following her for these years has ensured the safety of life, he is not well fed and clothed. It is really hard for her.
But what can be done? In the end times, everyone's life is not easy. It is good enough for the mother and daughter to be alive.
