Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 82

"I was planning to have hotpot for lunch anyway. Let me go back and call my brother and sister, then I'll take you there," Gu Wanyin said.

"Great!"

Gu Wanyin went back to call Cola and Hamburger. Xu Shi curiously asked Happy Carp, "Are you really not buying any elixirs? Aren't there supposed to be many miraculous pills? Ones that can improve cultivation and enhance magical powers, don't you want those?"

"No need," Happy Carp waved her hand magnanimously, "We koi fish have never cared about magical powers or cultivation levels. We just live freely! But each of us lives happily and healthily!"

Xu Shi thought to himself that this made sense.

After all, they were koi fish, blessed with an enormous aura of good fortune. What importance did cultivation levels and magical powers hold in comparison?

Soon, Gu Wanyin came out with Cola and Hamburger.

"Wow, big sister, your dress is so pretty!" Hamburger complimented her as soon as they met.

Happy Carp beamed with joy at Hamburger's praise, grinning as she held her hand, "Your dress is pretty too! Everyone looks great!"

Upon arriving at the hotpot restaurant, Happy Carp began ordering dishes enthusiastically.

She had exchanged over seventy celestial flowers for seven thousand points, after all. She had booked a ten-day stay, which cost two thousand points, leaving her with five thousand.

Since she wasn't buying any elixirs, she certainly didn't need to hold back when it came to food!

Although the table was not small, if she were to order every dish on the menu, it certainly wouldn't all fit on the table. So Happy Carp ordered as she ate, and she ate quickly. Gu Wanyin watched in amazement as she devoured over a dozen plates of meat and an equal number of vegetable dishes, yet still appeared unsatisfied.

Thinking about it, although Happy Carp looked like a child just over ten years old, she might actually be hundreds or thousands of years old. For a supernatural being, eating a bit more human food was no big deal.

Moreover, the more Happy Carp ate, the happier she became! Earning points, after all!

Eat more!

Gu Wanyin looked at Happy Carp with a motherly smile.

However, she also noticed that Happy Carp hadn't ordered any fish-related dishes...

Even though she was a supernatural being, she couldn't eat her own kind!

...

In the afternoon, as Nine-Tails had said earlier, she not only brought back another large box of items but also brought three friends with her.

There were both males and females. One female supernatural wore a crop top, had long legs, and a figure that rivaled Nine-Tails'.

However, she maintained an expressionless face and didn't even glance at Gu Wanyin when she entered.

Seeing the cat tail behind her, Gu Wanyin understood.

This must be the aloof cat spirit friend Nine-Tails had mentioned!

Remembering that some cat owners were indeed quite aloof, Gu Wanyin didn't find it strange that a cat spirit would be standoffish.

Another female supernatural wore a light green long dress, looking gentle and intellectual. As soon as she entered, she took Gu Wanyin's hand, praising her for being able to open a channel from the spirit realm to the human world, and for being willing to let supernatural beings stay at the hotel.

Gu Wanyin felt a bit excited having her hand held by such a beautiful woman.

She noticed leaves drawn on the woman's long dress and guessed she must be a plant-related supernatural being.

The last one was a male supernatural, dressed in a sharp suit, quite resembling a human tycoon, and quite handsome too.

He didn't have any particularly striking features, just smiled at Gu Wanyin, leaving her unable to guess what kind of supernatural being he was.

"Wanyin, I should have brought enough items to exchange for points this time," Nine-Tails said happily, then opened the box.

It was filled to the brim with celestial flowers and various gold and silver jewels, almost blinding Gu Wanyin.

The other three supernatural beings also each had a box, containing similar items.

"Celestial flowers are really hard to find. We searched for a long time to find these," Nine-Tails said, "Later, we felt it wasn't enough, so we brought some more gold and silver jewelry."

"Quick, Xu Shi, exchange points for them and register them!" Gu Wanyin said excitedly.

Points, these were all points!

Opening the channel to the spirit realm was truly a great decision!

Which system could compete with her system for first place in the future?

Xu Shi immediately added points to Nine-Tails' room card, then registered the other three supernatural beings.

After this top-up, Nine-Tails' room card had over ten thousand points.

The other three supernatural beings had about the same.

Gu Wanyin saw their names on the room cards: Cat Er, Tree Spirit, and Moon Eagle.

So the male supernatural's true form was an eagle!

In the future, she should be able to see all kinds of supernatural beings, which would certainly broaden her horizons.

After adding the points, Nine-Tails asked Gu Wanyin, "Is there a place here where we can drink? We're planning to gather tonight."

"Yes! The bar," Gu Wanyin said.

Today at noon, Gu Wanyin had made a map of the hotel and posted it in the lobby, marking the location of each store in the hotel.

"I see it, is it this one?" Moon Eagle pointed to the bar on the map.

"Yes, there's a dance club and a quiet bar. If you just want to drink and chat, the quiet bar would be suitable."

"Good."

"Why don't you join us?" Tree Spirit asked with a smile, "You can bring some human friends too, we'll treat! If they're not afraid of us, that is."

Although their main expenses were on elixirs, they felt they could afford to drink some alcohol. At worst, they could always go back and bring more jewelry to exchange for points.

Gu Wanyin thought for a moment, then agreed.

It would be quite novel to gather with a few supernatural beings.

Moreover, she quite liked Nine-Tails and Tree Spirit.

However, from start to finish, Cat Er hadn't said a single word.

Truly aloof!

...

In the evening, Gu Wanyin brought Zhuang Xiaoxia and Bai Shuwen to the bar.

Dong Yue had wanted to come too, but she was underage and couldn't.

Perhaps because these supernatural beings looked no different from humans, and were all handsome men and beautiful women, with Nine-Tails and Tree Spirit being particularly friendly, Zhuang Xiaoxia and Bai Shuwen were only a bit reserved at the beginning, but soon felt at ease.

As they drank and chatted, Gu Wanyin mentioned that they could mix their own drinks here, which piqued Nine-Tails' interest.

"What if you mix something that tastes terrible?" Moon Eagle laughed.

"Then you'll drink it," Nine-Tails shrugged, "Who told you to be the only male among us?"

Everyone laughed at this, and Nine-Tails enthusiastically went to mix drinks, with Tree Spirit following her out of interest.

With these two gone, the atmosphere suddenly cooled.

Cat Er barely spoke, Moon Eagle wasn't familiar with them, so Gu Wanyin and her two friends didn't know what to say.

Just as Gu Wanyin was trying to find a topic, Moon Eagle suddenly asked her, "Boss Gu, do you have a spirit partner, I mean, a boyfriend? If not, would you consider me?"

Gu Wanyin: "...I'll have to politely decline."
