Chapter 48: Unlocking the Milk Tea Shop
Chapter 48
"We can have a good talk with her. As long as she's willing to tell us how to get to that Interdimensional Space, we can arrange a position for her at the base. If she still wants to stay in her hotel, that's fine too. In that case, we'll take 90% of the supplies, and she'll get 10%," An Cairou said with a smile.
The Gu brothers exchanged glances, both feeling this was a bit excessive. Only 10% seemed too unfair for the hotel owner - would she really agree to that?
As if reading their thoughts, An Cairou added, "Now that we have the key, if she doesn't agree, she won't even get that 10% of supplies."
"Hmm, Sister Rourou has a point!" Gu Mingyu was the first to speak up. "I'll do whatever you say."
Gu Chengyu glared at him, then quickly said, "I'll do whatever you say too, Rourou."
"Then it's time for me to meet this Ms. Gu," An Cairou said, her eyes gleaming with confidence.
...
At the hotel, Xu Shi had welcomed several more groups of guests into the family rooms.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. Task completed. Rewards: Unlock rooms 601-605; Upgrade rooms 501-505 once; Unlock five unlimited dishes; Unlock five types of unlimited fruits; Unlock bubble tea shop, unlock unlimited quantities of all bubble teas in the shop."
Gu Wanyin was particularly pleased about unlocking the bubble tea shop.
Before her transmigration, she had loved drinking bubble tea, especially jasmine white peach and four seasons milk green tea.
However, thinking that drinking too much bubble tea wasn't good for her, and considering the price, she didn't drink it often.
But now, the bubble tea in the hotel wouldn't cause any harm to the human body.
Moreover, as the owner, she could drink as much as she wanted!
Gu Wanyin went to the bubble tea shop with Zhuang Xiaoxia, Dong Yue, Bai Shuwen, and others.
The bubble tea shop wasn't as large as the other dining establishments, probably because most people chose to take their drinks to go.
But the variety of bubble teas here was extensive.
Gu Wanyin's favorites, jasmine white peach and four seasons milk green tea, were naturally available. There were also various other flavors like pearl milk tea, coconut milk tea, red bean milk tea, and so on. They even had ice cream black tea, mango pomelo sago, soy milk mochi, grass jelly, and various fruit teas.
A regular cup of bubble tea cost three points, a large cup four points, and an extra-large cup five points.
Not only that, but the system had thoughtfully prepared mini cups, with a very small quantity that could be finished in two sips, costing only one point.
After all, many bubble teas could become cloying if consumed in large quantities.
This also allowed guests to taste a variety of bubble teas.
Of course, if someone wanted to fully enjoy one type, they'd have to spend more points on a larger cup.
The bubble tea shop had three service counters, each with a menu and a card-swiping area nearby.
After selecting the desired bubble tea and swiping the card, the drink would appear within seconds.
Zhuang Xiaoxia and Dong Yue eagerly bought their favorite bubble teas, opting for regular-sized cups.
Bai Shuwen, on the other hand, went straight for the extra-large cups, buying three at once: ice cream black tea, soy milk mochi, and fresh orange.
"You know, I used to be a female celebrity. To maintain my figure, I didn't dare touch things like bubble tea!" Bai Shuwen told them, then took a sip of her ice cream black tea, her face showing an expression of pure bliss. "This is just too delicious!"
Indeed, the bubble tea here was sweet and delicious, making it impossible to stop after just one sip!
It was even better than any bubble tea Gu Wanyin had tasted before!
"After drinking this bubble tea, I think I'll have much more energy when I go out to fight zombies," Zhuang Xiaoxia remarked.
"I'm going to buy two more cups to take back for my parents," Dong Yue said excitedly. "Although they'll probably say I'm wasting points, but since the bubble tea shop just opened today, it's okay to have some this once!"
Gu Wanyin also planned to take two cups out for Cola and Hamburger.
Now, there were gradually more and more children in the hotel.
Cola and Hamburger had become like the leaders of the children, playing and having fun with them around the hotel every day.
The children's laughter and joy improved everyone's mood in the hotel.
Just as she was wondering what flavors of bubble tea Cola and Hamburger would like, Xu Shi rushed in.
"Xu Shi, you're here. Want some bubble tea?" Dong Yue said. "It's really delicious!"
"No time for bubble tea now," Xu Shi said hurriedly. "Boss, there are many cars parked outside the hotel."
Gu Wanyin raised an eyebrow and said, "As expected of Muruo Base. This lineup is even grander than the previous Haikang Base."
Xu Shi asked nervously, "So, it really is people from Muruo Base?"
"Of course. In this apocalyptic world, who else could get so many cars and enough crystals to power them?" Gu Wanyin smiled. "Don't worry, I've arranged everything. Now, they're just walking into our trap."
Hearing this, Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
If the boss said so, then there surely wouldn't be any problems.
"Little sis, I've heard about those people from Muruo Base. They're not easy to deal with. Do you need our help?" Zhuang Xiaoxia asked.
"No need," Gu Wanyin said. "You all should stay in the hotel. Don't go out. After all, once you're more than 200 meters away from the hotel, its protection mechanism won't work for you anymore."
"I'll go with you," Bai Shuwen said. "I was tricked by that woman called An Cairou before. I've been waiting for a chance to get revenge!"
"How did she trick you?" Dong Yue asked curiously.
Bai Shuwen briefly recounted the story.
It turned out that it happened about two months after the apocalypse began.
Bai Shuwen had just awakened her ability then, but it wasn't as high as now, only at level one.
She and Wei Fenghua went to a shopping mall to search for supplies.
By this time, there were already many zombies, and many humans had died from zombie attacks or the natural disasters that could erupt at any moment.
But they had no choice. If they didn't go out to find supplies, they would starve to death.
In the mall, they encountered other people looking for supplies, including An Cairou and Gu Mingyu. Yes, at that time, the person with An Cairou was Gu Mingyu, not Gu Chengyu.
An Cairou acted very weak, kind, and pitiful, which easily lowered others' guard.
Bai Shuwen and Wei Fenghua didn't think much of it.
They were lucky enough to find a snack shop in the mall that still had a lot of food.
At this point, An Cairou suddenly told them that there was another store nearby that also had a lot of food. She suggested they go there to move the supplies first, while she and Gu Mingyu would handle this snack shop. They would split all the food equally later.
Bai Shuwen and Wei Fenghua didn't suspect anything and went to the store An Cairou mentioned to look for food.
However, they didn't expect that in that store, there were several zombies waiting!
