Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 17

But Gu Wanyin didn\'t intend to get involved. It wasn\'t her business to begin with, and Lin Ru had ignored warnings and violated the rules in the first place.

So she just smiled faintly, greeted the two brothers, told them that a new noodle shop had opened on the second floor, and informed them that their rooms had been upgraded. Then she took Cola and Hamburger to check out the newly unlocked dishes, fruits, and drinks.

The cupboard seemed to have grown a bit larger, with tangerines, oranges, pomelos, pears, and strawberries now added.

All the other fruits were individual pieces, but the strawberries came in plastic boxes, with five in each box.

They looked particularly fresh and appetizing.

Gu Wanyin couldn\'t resist taking three boxes of strawberries and a pomelo, planning to eat them later while watching TV with the two kids.

Everything else was fine, but the pomelo was quite large. Gu Wanyin felt that one point was a bit too low, so she marked on the price list nearby that pomelos would cost two points each.

As for the strawberries, since there were only five in a box, she kept them at one point.

The cupboard also had five new types of drinks: Sprite, iced black tea, green tea with plum, pear juice with rock sugar, and lychee-flavored soda.

These five drinks were priced the same as cola and orange juice, all at one point per small bottle or can.

Looking at the fully stocked cupboard, Gu Wanyin felt a sense of satisfaction.

She then took Cola and Hamburger to the cafeteria, where she saw five new dishes added to the food machine: dumplings, garlic-flavored crown daisy, "Di San Xian" (stir-fried potato, eggplant, and green pepper), sweet and sour pork, and corn and pork rib soup.

Moreover, the dumplings came with various filling options, including pork with green onion, chive with egg, and mushroom with chicken.

Gu Wanyin added the prices for vegetarian dishes to the nearby price list: three points per dish, with meat and vegetarian dumplings priced the same as meat and vegetable dishes respectively.

Unfortunately, they had just eaten their fill of noodles, so they couldn\'t try these new dishes for now.

They returned to the Main Room, where Gu Wanyin went to the kitchen to cut open the pomelo.

The pomelo had a very thin skin and plenty of flesh. Taking a bite, it was sweet with lots of juice.

She sat with Cola and Hamburger, eating strawberries and pomelo while watching a movie.

This movie didn\'t exist in the world she had come from before her transmigration. The female lead was exceptionally beautiful, with long flowing hair, looking like a fairy. Gu Wanyin couldn\'t help but look up her name, which was Bai Shuwen.

"What a pity!" Gu Wanyin sighed. "Such a beautiful actress, I wonder if she\'s still alive in this apocalyptic world."

If possible, she hoped the hotel could become a sanctuary for more people.

Of course, those troublemakers, rule-breakers, and bullies could just die for all she cared.

After watching the movie, they took a shower and prepared for bed.

Just as Gu Wanyin lay down, the system\'s voice sounded: "New task unlocked: Recruit three new guests. Note: Two of the three guests must have a beauty score of 90 or above, out of 100. No time limit. Task reward: Unlock rooms 209 and 210, upgrade rooms 206, 207, and 208 once, unlock the hot pot restaurant, and unlock unlimited ingredients for the hot pot restaurant."

Gu Wanyin: "..."

Of course, she was happy about unlocking the hot pot restaurant.

But what was this requirement about beauty scores?

This was a task based on looks!

And it required two people with scores above 90! How difficult would that be?

"Um, System, how am I supposed to know if a guest\'s beauty score is above 90? After all, aesthetics are quite subjective, right?" she asked.

The system\'s voice replied emotionlessly: "This system will make the judgment."

Hearing this, Gu Wanyin became interested: "System, what\'s my beauty score according to you?"

She looked exactly the same as before her transmigration. It\'s just that this body had been through over a year of hardship in the apocalyptic world and had become quite thin.

"The host is currently underweight. Once your face and figure fully recover, your beauty score in this system\'s evaluation can reach 85, placing you in the category of great beauties."

Hearing this, Gu Wanyin was delighted.

Who wouldn\'t like being told they\'re attractive?

Even though the system wasn\'t human... precisely because of that, its scoring must be more standard!

"System, don\'t worry, I\'ll definitely work hard on managing the hotel and earn lots of points for you!"

"Very well, host."

Gu Wanyin lay in bed, still smiling.

"Sister, why do you look so happy? Did you think of something good?" Hamburger asked curiously, hugging her arm.

Gu Wanyin pinched her little cheek and said with a smile, "Of course I\'m happy being with Cola and Hamburger."

"We\'re very happy being with sister too!" Hamburger happily nuzzled her shoulder. "I want to stay with sister forever, help sister manage the hotel well, and eat delicious food!"

"Haha, sounds good!"

...

In the morning, Gu Wanyin ate dumplings for breakfast with the two kids.

These dumplings had thin skins and generous fillings. Biting into one released a burst of juicy flavor that lingered in the mouth, almost too delicious to swallow!

Moreover, vinegar and soy sauce came with the dumplings.

The system was truly thoughtful.

Dong Yue and Zhuang Xiaoxia also joined them for breakfast.

Dong Yue was relatively introverted, but Zhuang Xiaoxia was as passionate as fire, occasionally cracking jokes that made everyone laugh out loud.

With Xu Shi as a waiter, Gu Wanyin didn\'t need to sit at the front desk anymore. After finishing their meal, they continued to sit there, chatting and laughing.

After a while, the Fu brothers also came to buy breakfast.

As soon as Zhuang Xiaoxia saw the two of them, her eyes widened, and she whispered to Gu Wanyin, "Little sister boss, do you recruit guests based on looks? These are two handsome guys!"

"No, it\'s purely coincidental, believe me," Gu Wanyin said righteously.

"Oh my, seeing them reminds me of my first love," Zhuang Xiaoxia sighed. "He was a handsome guy too! We were high school classmates and dated for a year and a half. In the end, he was discovered by a talent scout, signed with an entertainment company, and became a celebrity!"

As she spoke about this, Zhuang Xiaoxia\'s face was full of nostalgia.

"Really? Which male celebrity is he?" Dong Yue asked curiously.

"Wei Fenghua."

"What? It\'s actually him!" Dong Yue exclaimed. "I, I was his die-hard fan before the apocalypse!"

"Haha, right? He\'s truly handsome."

Gu Wanyin felt that the name Wei Fenghua sounded familiar, and then she realized, wasn\'t he the male lead in the movie she watched last night?

Indeed, both the male and female leads in that movie were stunningly beautiful, a paradise for beauty lovers.

She never expected that the male lead was actually Zhuang Xiaoxia\'s first love.

Suddenly, the system\'s voice sounded in her mind: "Ding! Congratulations, host. Task completed. Rewards obtained: Unlock rooms 209 and 210, upgrade rooms 206, 207, and 208 once, unlock the hot pot restaurant, and unlock unlimited ingredients for the hot pot restaurant."

Gu Wanyin: "?"

How had the task been completed just like that!
