BXBX NOVEL Chapter 153: Growing Garlic
Chapter 153
Room Number: 201
Room Rate: 10 points per day
Current Points: 80
"How long do you plan to stay?" Gu Wanyin asked, "I suggest you save some points for food."
Bruno discussed it briefly with his sister, deciding to stay for one day first and see how things go.
"One day for now."
"Alright."
As soon as Gu Wanyin finished speaking, Bruno looked at the room card again and found that the points had already changed to 70.
"This!" Bruno exclaimed, "As expected of a castle bestowed by God, it's amazing!"
This was already his umpteenth exclamation of amazement.
Even his sister Joshua was getting a bit tired of it.
"Alright, brother, stop being so dramatic and let us get our room cards too."
Bruno hurriedly stepped aside, but he kept touching the room card, his face full of wonder.
Joshua used a bracelet she had been wearing on her hand, exchanging it for seventy points.
The other girl, Janet, was even more impressive.
She took out a ruby.
Gu Wanyin wasn't very familiar with the value of gems in their world, but seeing Janet's reluctant expression, she knew this ruby must be quite valuable.
Indeed, this single ruby exchanged for three hundred points.
"If I'm not mistaken, is this the 'Deep Red Heart' that was previously on exhibition?" Joshua asked in surprise, "You... you're Duke Ferguson's daughter?"
Janet seemed to be a very shy girl. She nodded with a blush and said, "My identity doesn't matter anymore. The kingdom has completely collapsed. Even being the king's daughter wouldn't mean anything now..."
After she spoke, all three of them sighed in unison.
"Alright, you can go check out your rooms now," Gu Wanyin spoke up to lighten the mood. "Take those stairs up to the second floor. Each room has a number on the door. Find the room matching the number on your card, and swipe your card on the door handle to enter."
"Thank you, boss."
The three eagerly went upstairs, and at that moment, Bai Shuwen came in with the married couple.
"Boss Gu, there were two more people, but I tried persuading them for a long time, and they still wouldn't believe me. They just ran away," Bai Shuwen said helplessly.
Gu Wanyin felt a bit disappointed, as fewer guests meant less point income.
"It's okay," Gu Wanyin consoled her. "This is just the beginning. People here are all scared of vampires right now, so it's normal for them to be cautious. After some time, they'll understand that this place is truly safe."
Although the married couple had come in, they still looked very guarded.
After hearing Gu Wanyin's introduction, they chose to stay in a king-size room.
After Gu Wanyin completed their check-in and they went upstairs to see their room, they finally relaxed.
"Ding! Congratulations host, mission completed. Rewards: garlic seeds, two plots of super fertile soil, and one super hammer."
Just as the system finished speaking, a hammer similar to the one Gu Han had before suddenly appeared in Gu Wanyin's hands.
Gu Wanyin almost dropped it.
"System, this hammer appeared too suddenly," Gu Wanyin said with a black line over her head. "Next time, could you give me a heads up?"
"Host, I thought you would be delighted," the system said pitifully.
Gu Wanyin: "Well, I was surprised..."
"Wuu..."
"Okay, okay, I'm delighted, really delighted!"
"Hehe, Host, I forgot to tell you, I also applied for a space for you earlier. You can put the hammer in there, and future rewards can go in there too. It's very convenient. Just close your eyes and use your mind to enter the space."
Gu Wanyin closed her eyes, and sure enough, a large space appeared before her.
She put down the hammer, and when she opened her eyes, the castle hall was in front of her again.
"Not bad, System. Can I put other things in there too?"
"Everything except living things can go in."
"Got it. By the way, what about the super fertile soil and garlic seeds?"
"They're in the rightmost room on the first floor."
Gu Wanyin walked to the door of the rightmost room and opened it.
Inside was what appeared to be an alternate space, very large, with blue sky, white clouds, and sun. The ground was divided into plots, just like in a farming game Gu Wanyin had played before.
"Only the two front plots of super fertile soil are unlocked now," the system said. "The seeds are on the shelf beside you. When you run out of seeds, they'll automatically restock. One seed will grow into one head of garlic."
Gu Wanyin turned to look, and sure enough, there was a shelf with about dozens of seeds on it.
Besides the seeds, there were also many small shovels.
"System, how do I plant this garlic?" Gu Wanyin started to worry, "I've never farmed before."
"Don't worry, Host, it's very simple."
Following the system's instructions, Gu Wanyin took a small shovel, crouched next to the first fertile plot, dug a small hole with the shovel, put a garlic seed in, and then filled it with soil to cover the seed.
"System, what's next?"
"That's it."
"Huh? That's all there is to planting?"
"Yes, that's why I said it was simple. Each garlic seed takes twelve hours to mature. When you come back after twelve hours, you'll find a head of garlic has grown here."
Gu Wanyin took another seed and planted it in the plot next to it, then asked, "Don't I need to water or fertilize it?"
"It needs water once a day, but this place has rain every twelve hours, so you don't need to worry about watering. As for fertilizer, it's not really necessary, but if you really want to fertilize, you could wait until you need to use the bathroom..."
"Okay, you don't need to continue that thought."
"Meep."

After the guests who had checked in spent some time enjoying their rooms, they came out to ask Gu Wanyin and Bai Shuwen how to purchase food.
Bai Shuwen led them to the dining hall.
The dining hall was large, easily able to seat over a hundred people.
At the front were three food dispensing machines, though compared to the machines in the hotel cafeteria before, their appearance had been modified to look wooden.
Bai Shuwen had them stand in front of one machine and taught them how to operate it.
"Look, you can see the menu here. Point at whatever dish you want to eat, then swipe your room card here on the side, and the food will come out."
Everyone stared at her in confusion, their eyes full of disbelief.
"Just point and swipe, and food comes out?"
"Wait, I have a question - what's mapo tofu? And what's kung pao chicken?"
