Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 70

"Ding! Congratulations, host. Task completed. Rewards unlocked: Unlimited access to all items in the supermarket outside the hotel; access to all rooms on the 10th floor of the hotel; all rooms on the 9th floor upgraded once; fried snack shop unlocked with unlimited access to all ingredients; one van unlocked."

In fact, the items in the supermarket outside the hotel had already been unlocked, but the system only now announced the task's completion. The other rewards were also already unlocked.

Gu Wanyin first went to check out the 10th floor. The deluxe presidential suites were indeed larger than the ordinary presidential suites on the 9th floor, and each suite had a balcony with a private swimming pool.

Of course, the hotel rooms were still quite magical. When guests on the 10th floor swam or sunbathed on their balconies, they couldn't be seen from outside the hotel. From the exterior, it just looked like an ordinary tall building.

Her main room also had a balcony and swimming pool, but she and Cola Burger weren't particularly interested in swimming, so they hadn't used it much.

Since a new shop had opened, Gu Wanyin took Cola Burger to try out the fried snack shop that evening. There were all kinds of fried foods and snacks, such as fried pork chops, fried starch sausages and meat sausages, fried chicken fillet skewers, fried enoki mushrooms, fried fish tofu, fried meat and bone skewers, stinky tofu, takoyaki, brown sugar flatbread, grass jelly, and more.

Most importantly, everything was clean and harmless to the human body.

After dinner, Gu Wanyin went to check out the van. Like the previous sedan, it was parked in front of the hotel. It was white and could probably seat about ten people.

"Ding! New task unlocked: Have a cumulative total of 100 people make purchases at the Peace Supermarket outside the hotel. Task rewards: Unlock Hotel Building No. 2; unlock all rooms on the 2nd floor of Hotel Building No. 2; the current hotel building is now Building No. 1, all rooms on the 10th floor of Building No. 1 upgraded once; unlock internet cafe and all facilities within; unlock bar and all related facilities and ingredients; unlock public swimming pool and related facilities; unlock zombie-killing simulation training camp. Note: All rooms in Hotel Building No. 2 have the same structure and rates as Building No. 1; minors are prohibited from entering the internet cafe and bar."

"There's even a zombie-killing simulation training camp?" Gu Wanyin asked. "Does that mean you can simulate killing zombies in there? Like playing a game?"

"Yes, but it's different from playing a game. There's no real danger in the simulation training camp, but if you're attacked by a zombie during the simulation, you'll feel very realistic pain."

Gu Wanyin couldn't help but shudder just hearing about it.

However, this was still very beneficial for ordinary people without superpowers. There was no real danger! In the simulation training camp, they could freely train on how to fight zombies. This way, if they encountered real zombies in the future, they could quickly come up with strategies to deal with them. They might even be able to obtain nuclei and stay longer in the hotel!

It all depended on whether they could endure the pain of being attacked by zombies.

"Also, host, now that the second building is about to be unlocked, the grand opening discount period should end," the system said. "We can appropriately increase the prices of items that were priced too low. Let's discuss the pricing again after this task is completed."

"Alright," Gu Wanyin nodded.

Indeed, items like instant noodles and bread were priced too low and could be slightly increased. With the zombie training camp, the chances of ordinary people obtaining nuclei would also increase.

However, the prices would certainly remain within a reasonable range. They couldn't make things unaffordable for people, as that would be counterproductive.

...

Because the Peace Supermarket outside the hotel had just opened, Gu Wanyin planned to go check on it after Cola Burger left for school in the morning.

Of course, before leaving, she didn't forget to prepare food and water for French Fries.

However, there wasn't a pet supply store in the hotel yet, so there was no cat litter.

Gu Wanyin temporarily used soil in a basin as a substitute for a litter box.

Although the system had an automatic cleaning mechanism that could instantly clean up any mess French Fries made on the floor, Gu Wanyin still felt a bit uncomfortable with the idea of letting French Fries do its business anywhere it pleased.

After settling French Fries in and patting its little head, Gu Wanyin left the hotel and drove off.

Arriving at the supermarket, Gu Wanyin parked the car and went inside to find quite a few customers already there.

The store rules were clearly posted at the entrance, and many people had heard about the Peace Hotel, so most customers knew how to exchange points and use their cards.

The supermarket provided shopping carts and baskets. Some were pushing carts or carrying baskets while shopping, while others had simply grabbed a bread and started devouring it ravenously after swiping their cards, looking as if they were starving.

Seeing Gu Wanyin enter, those who recognized her greeted her.

After all, many people had seen Gu Wanyin promoting at the two bases yesterday, so they knew she was the owner of the hotel and supermarket.

Those who were seeing her for the first time looked at her with curiosity and scrutiny.

They wondered how a girl who looked so delicate could manage to open a hotel and supermarket in the apocalypse.

A few people inevitably had some unsavory thoughts, but they didn't dare to act on them now.

Firstly, there were too many people around. Secondly, they figured that someone who could run a hotel for so long and even open a supermarket outside it couldn't be an ordinary person. Perhaps her delicate appearance was just a facade...

Gu Wanyin sat down at the checkout counter and took out a novel to read.

Occasionally, she would answer questions from customers who didn't quite understand something.

The morning passed without incident, and Gu Wanyin took the opportunity to promote that her hotel now had deluxe presidential suites, and that the second building would soon be unlocked. She urged interested customers to hurry if they wanted to stay at the hotel.

The customers in the supermarket now had supermarket shopping cards, but if they checked into the hotel, the points on their shopping cards could be transferred to their room cards.

Upon hearing this, everyone became eager to try.

Although they had to pay for rooms, staying in the hotel was safe, and the food was cheaper than in the supermarket. Who wouldn't want to go?

By the afternoon, there were even more people in the supermarket.

A long queue formed in front of the checkout counter.

The system was overjoyed watching the points steadily accumulate.

Just then, a man rushed in.

He looked like he was starving. Upon seeing so much food in the supermarket, his eyes turned red. He grabbed a bread and was about to tear open the packaging.

"You can't eat without paying first!" someone nearby reminded him.

But he couldn't hear anyone else's words at all! With a sneer, he began forcefully tearing at the packaging...
