Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 61

Lower-level ghosts will instantly vanish into thin air upon contact with black dog blood.

Even for high-level ghosts like the Black-Clothed Ghost, black dog blood can severely injure them.

Therefore, in the horror world, black dog blood is the item players most desperately want to obtain, but such a powerful tool is certainly very rare.

However, Gu Wanyin's system has an unlimited supply.

The Black-Clothed Ghost never expected that Gu Wanyin would be able to produce black dog blood, and now it was right above their heads while they were unable to move!

At this point, even ghosts couldn't afford to save face!

"Big sister, sister, I was wrong, please spare us!" the Black-Clothed Ghost begged, "We'll never dare to do this again!"

"Really?" Gu Wanyin asked with a smile.

"Really!" the Black-Clothed Ghost hurriedly promised, and the other ghosts chimed in agreement.

Gu Wanyin sighed, showing a troubled expression: "But with all this commotion, other customers might be too scared to come. Won't I lose a lot of income?"

"We'll buy!" the Black-Clothed Ghost immediately said, "We'll buy a lot!"

"Yes, I still have many spirit orbs, I'll use them all to buy things from your store!"

"I'll buy too!"

Gu Wanyin achieved her goal and was in a good mood.

"Alright then."

She snapped her fingers, and the bucket containing the black dog blood instantly disappeared.

If these were ordinary ghosts coming to shop, she certainly wouldn't use black dog blood to force them to buy.

But it was the Black-Clothed Ghost who brought so many ghosts to cause trouble, so they couldn't blame her.

As the bucket vanished, the ghosts could move again.

But they didn't dare to be arrogant anymore; two ghosts even hugged each other, trembling in fear.

"Why are you still standing there?" Gu Wanyin raised an eyebrow, "Hurry up and start shopping!"

"We're buying, we're buying right now!"

The ghosts began their frenzied shopping spree.

Spirit orbs were relatively easy for them to obtain.

So each ghost pushed a shopping cart, desperately filling it with their favorite foods.

They also discovered that the food and various daily necessities sold in the supermarket were much better than those from other places.

Even if Gu Wanyin hadn't threatened them, they would have been willing to shop here.

Finally, each ghost obediently pushed their shopping cart and queued at the checkout counter.

The two human girls were amazed by the sight.

They had just completed two dungeons and were still considered newcomers, so most of the players they encountered in dungeons were also novices.

Most players were scared out of their wits when encountering ghosts and monsters in dungeons, and even the bravest ones couldn't remain calm and collected.

But the owner of this supermarket could handle a group of ghosts with ease!

And every ghost smiled ingratiatingly at her when checking out!

The last one to check out was the Black-Clothed Ghost. As he handed over the spirit orbs, he said flatteringly, "I'll come every day from now on. I'll recognize you as my big brother, no, big sister! How about that?"

"Can you help promote my supermarket?" Gu Wanyin asked.

"Of course I can!" The Black-Clothed Ghost nodded like a pecking chicken, "I'll promote it as soon as I get back! I'll tell all the ghosts I know to come and shop here!"

"Alright then, thank you."

"No problem, big sister! From now on, I'm your little brother!"

Each ghost left happily, carrying several large bags of goods.

They had completely forgotten why they came in the first place.

The two human girls sighed in relief when the ghosts left.

After selecting their items, they went to the counter to pay, looking at Gu Wanyin with admiration.

"Boss, you're amazing, you're not afraid of ghosts at all!"

Gu Wanyin: "I'm just low-key."

In fact, without the system, she would definitely have been scared out of her wits...

"Are you really leaving in a few days?" the other girl asked, "Can't you stay?"

Although they had no connection to this shop owner, they felt that having someone like her around made them feel secure.

"I can't," Gu Wanyin shook her head, "My home is elsewhere."

Her brother, sister, and friends were still waiting for her at the hotel.

Moreover, the environment of the horror world was too oppressive.

Staying for a few days was fine, but she definitely couldn't stand it for long.

Speaking of which, she was grateful that her system acted quickly and didn't let the horror world's system bind her.

"Okay," the two girls said with some disappointment, "Can we come every day for the next few days? We won't enter another dungeon for a few more days."

"Of course," Gu Wanyin smiled, "How could I refuse customers coming to spend money?"

The two girls finished paying and left happily.

Gu Wanyin roughly calculated that the dozen or so ghosts had spent nearly 10,000 points.

The system must be overjoyed.

And she had also gained a little brother; the Black-Clothed Ghost said he would help promote her business, and even if he didn't, the other ghosts would surely tell others about it.

For the remaining days, she could just wait to collect points.

...

Gu Wanyin spent a few more days in the horror world.

After tomorrow, she would be able to return to the hotel.

Business at the supermarket had been exceptionally good these past few days, with both ghosts and players alike enjoying shopping there.

The Black-Clothed Ghost came every day and even stayed to chat with her instead of leaving.

Having someone, or rather a ghost, to chat with was quite nice; otherwise, she would get bored just reading novels all day.

"Big sister, you're really leaving the day after tomorrow?" the Black-Clothed Ghost asked tearfully, holding a self-heating hotpot, "What should I do? What if I miss you? Why don't you take me with you!"

"That's not possible," Gu Wanyin said, "Aren't you an NPC here? How can you leave so easily?"

"Ah! You're right," the Black-Clothed Ghost said dejectedly, "In a couple of days, I'll have another batch of players coming, and I'll have to go into the dungeon to eat people again."

He then muttered, "Actually, I don't like eating people at all. They don't taste as good as self-heating hotpot, but there are rules, and I have no choice but to eat them."

"You're also bound by rules?" Gu Wanyin asked curiously.

"Of course, no less than the players! When to start eating people, when not to eat people, when to let players go, when not to let players go... There are so many rules! If we get even one thing wrong, we'll be punished. For serious offenses, we'll be instantly obliterated."

Gu Wanyin looked at him sympathetically, but then said, "But I think the players have it worse..."

Seeing the Black-Clothed Ghost's pitiful expression, she added, "You have it tough too."

"Sigh!"

At this moment, another customer arrived.

It was a thin, small man who flinched when he saw the Black-Clothed Ghost, likely a human player.

He initially wanted to flee, but remembering what others had said about not needing to fear ghosts in this supermarket, he mustered up the courage to enter.

He first looked at the store rules.

He needed to exchange spirit orbs for points to buy things here? But he didn't have any spirit orbs on him...
