Jianglin Hotel is located near Prosperity Heights. Although Prosperity Heights is a villa district, there are still quite a lot of people.
Shortly after Cui Hao and Jiang Zhenzhen left, Chu Jiangyue looked through the hotel's open door and saw someone using superpowers to blast several zombies into a pile of black charcoal.
The apocalypse has just begun, and superpowers are awakened, still the strongest attack power acknowledged from the past life, it's definitely the male protagonist's standard!
How come she hadn't seen such a big shot in her previous life?
Chu Jiangyue felt a bit puzzled.
Shen Zhigui had long discovered the existence of Chu Jiangyue and Jianglin Hotel.
He's lived in Prosperity Heights for 5 years and is well aware that the appearance of this woman and the hotel is definitely after the zombie virus outbreak.
Both the suddenly appearing woman and the house that appeared overnight are filled with eeriness.
For the safety of himself and his teammates, Shen Zhigui decided to delve into the matter.
Seeing the big shot walking towards her, Chu Jiangyue stood behind the counter, displaying a perfectly timed smile, "Hello, this is Jianglin Hotel, do guests need accommodation? Opening promotion, only 100 copper coins per day!"
That's right, Chu Jiangyue didn't offer Cui Hao the opening promotion discount, but she definitely wanted to make friends with this big shot.
Upon entering the hotel, Shen Zhigui felt that he couldn't use his superpowers, which made the situation even more peculiar.
There's only one woman, providing accommodation, and owning a hotel that can confine superpowers, Shen Zhigui couldn't help but be cautious.
"100 copper coins? What's that?"
"Copper coins are the universal currency of this hotel, 100 copper coins equal 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins equal 1 gold coin.
Guests can exchange with any items, and the first recharge comes with a hotel-exclusive identity card."
Seeing this person's method of dealing with zombies, Chu Jiangyue recognized him as a future major client, so her attitude was relatively good.
She's a professional at judging by appearances.
"When I came over, someone told me you have supplies here."
Shen Zhigui didn't take anything out but rather uttered another sentence.
He was indeed guided over here by someone, but the situation didn't quite align with his expectations.
"Liu Yiyi?"
Apart from the person in front of him, only Liu Yiyi had been here.
"Don't know her."
Shen Zhigui was truthful, the woman who guided him here was someone he indeed didn't know.
"No worries, if you want to purchase supplies, please recharge first, then buy."
Chu Jiangyue squinted her eyes, smiling very brightly.
But Shen Zhigui only felt the brighter she smiled, the bigger the trap ahead.
However, he truly needed supplies now.
Shen Zhigui removed his wristwatch, placing it on the tray Chu Jiangyue just pointed out.
[Detect metal watch *1, can be exchanged for 500 copper coins, confirm exchange? Press yes to confirm, no to cancel]
Shen Zhigui pressed "yes".
[Congratulations, Mr. Shen Zhigui, for becoming the second guest at Jianglin Hotel, 500 copper coins have been exchanged for you, enjoy your complimentary identity card, please keep it safe]
On the tray, the watch had disappeared, replaced by a card similar to a bank card.
"This is your identity card, from now on, entering and leaving the hotel, consuming here, you just need to swipe the card.
The hotel's new room costs 100 copper coins for a day, sir, do you need accommodation?"
Shen Zhigui picked up the card, "No, I'm buying supplies."
Shen Zhigui never forget his aim.
Chu Jiangyue: ...
Internally mmp, outwardly all smiles.
"Over there, just follow the instructions to purchase."
Chu Jiangyue pointed to the shelf filled with buns and meat pies.
Shen Zhigui acted as if he didn't see Chu Jiangyue's gritting teeth, calmly turned and walked in front of the shelf.
Without introduction from Chu Jiangyue, he naturally grasped the process of placing an order.
After concluding the order, a virtual screen appeared in front of him, clearly showing his balance and the items he just ordered.
However, what caught his interest the most was the friend list, though currently, there wasn't anyone in it.
"Boss Chu, this friend list..."
"Oh, if your friends are also guests, you can add each other as friends, just use it like pre-apocalypse social software."
Chu Jiangyue wasn't aware of the surprise her words brought to Shen Zhigui.
Because of the Blue Star's magnetic field disorder, all current electronics have stopped functioning, they can't even exchange contact information outside.
If what Chu Jiangyue said was true, Shen Zhigui felt it necessary for his teammates to come over.
His 500 copper coins weren't able to purchase much, though.
"I'll go back and bring my friends over."
It's difficult for him alone to carry if there's a large purchase, but someone in his team has awakened the Space Ability.
"A friendly reminder, if you encounter Level 1 Zombies and can kill them, you can exchange the zombie's crystal core.
One Level 1 Zombie Crystal Core can be exchanged for 100 copper coins."
Since Shen Zhigui could come alone without getting too dirty, it proved his skill was quite good.
Shen Zhigui paused and turned to look at Chu Jiangyue; she seemed to know too much.
Chu Jiangyue faced Shen Zhigui's gaze calmly, with a hint of an elusive smile on her lips.
Eventually, Shen Zhigui withdrew his gaze, "I understand, thanks for the reminder."
"No need to thank me, once guests have money, my hotel can prosper."
Shen Zhigui didn't reply, taking his identity card and leaving the hotel.
The new task was to host 10 guests and complete their stay, currently, only guests who have recharged, no one stayed, Chu Jiangyue felt a bit depressed.
However, Chu Jiangyue seemed to be on a lucky streak today, as shortly after Shen Zhigui left, he returned with several others.
Everyone had a backpack, their eyes sparkling upon entering the hotel.
"Boss Chu, they all want to recharge, sorry to bother."
The appearance of an identity card solved a major difficulty for Shen Zhigui's team, so their attitude towards Chu Jiangyue was evidently better.
"Alright, one by one."
These people were guided by Shen Zhigui, and their recharge operation was very skilled.
And the items in their backpacks were things they deemed valuable.
Gold and silver jewelry, jade stones, regardless of ownership, all were placed onto the exchange device.
Anyway, in the apocalypse, these items were the least valuable, nobody picked them up even when thrown on the road.
Now they could be repurposed, and they were naturally happy.
Once everyone exchanged their items, Chu Jiangyue: happy happy (｡>∀<｡)
The few accompanying Shen Zhigui stood in front of the shelf, starting the process of ordering.
Of Shen Zhigui's team, Jiang He awakened the Space Ability, currently has the space of two 24-inch suitcases, and importantly, can preserve freshness.
This functionality brought considerable convenience to Shen Zhigui and his team.
Chu Jiangyue watched as Shen Zhigui's team bought 20 of each of 5 types of food and asked Jiang He to store them in space.
However, what surprised Chu Jiangyue was the presence of Space Ability in Shen Zhigui's team.
It's well known that a Space Ability User, Chu Jiangyue heard of only a year after the apocalypse in her previous life.
Chu Jiangyue glanced at Shen Zhigui's team again, feeling something was off.
'Little Fox, do you know what role Shen Zhigui and his team play?'
With such strong abilities, she shouldn't have not heard a single thing about them after 3 years in the apocalypse!
