Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 160

"Host, the one-click skin change function means you can change your skin to any color you want!" The System seemed very excited. "White, black, purple, green - anything goes!"

Gu Wanyin: "..."

She watched as her reflection in the mirror kept changing colors.

Her original skin was already fair, but it was a normal human kind of fairness with a healthy pink undertone.

However, this function could turn her into an unnaturally pale white, making her look terminally ill. Then there was that glossy black - she thought if she went out at night wearing white clothes with that skin tone, she'd definitely frighten people.

If it were just black and white, that would be one thing, but what was with all these other colors?!

"Host, what do you think? Which color do you like?" The System continued to ask excitedly.

"System, can you materialize into physical form right now?" Gu Wanyin asked with a smile.

"Ah? Not yet, but I'm planning to ask my doctor to give me a physical form, like that little squirrel from last time. What do you think about that, Host?"

"So you can't right now?" Gu Wanyin said with slight disappointment.

The System felt confused: "What's wrong, Host?"

"What do you think?" Gu Wanyin's smile gradually turned sinister.

System: "...Host, please don't be like this. I'm scared."

"Quickly change my skin back to normal!"

The System dejectedly restored Gu Wanyin's normal skin color and said, "But it's so fun! I thought you would like it - I specially applied for this reward for you."

Gu Wanyin: "..."

Well, what could she do? Her System was sometimes just silly like this.

This "one-click skin change" function was indeed interesting. Although it didn't seem very useful now, who knew when it might come in handy?

"Don't worry, Host! Next time I'll definitely get you something more useful!"

"System, having a reward is still nice," Gu Wanyin suddenly thought of something. "I want to go try out my invisible wings!"

She had always flown in airplanes before.

In the demon realm, From Eagle had carried them while flying.

But she had never tried flying by herself!

Gu Wanyin went to the castle's backyard.

The back garden hadn't been unlocked yet, so it was bare, and no guests would come here.

Gu Wanyin stood in an empty space and spread her wings.

The snow-white wings flickered beautifully - quite fun to play with.

Then, with a slight effort, she lifted off the ground.

This feeling was novel and interesting. She flew higher and higher, eventually reaching the clouds, with gentle breezes brushing past her, never too strong.

After some thought, Gu Wanyin made her wings invisible.

After all, vampires were known for having wings.

Although she wasn't afraid of others' attacks, people in this apocalyptic world were already suffering enough - better not to frighten them.

Without the large wings, she wouldn't stand out too much.

While Gu Wanyin was freely soaring through the sky, the hotel guests were in an uproar.

"I really saw it!" Bruno urgently said, "I saw wings grow from the boss's back, and then she flew away!"

"How is this possible..." Joshua said with a nervous and troubled expression, "Could it be that the boss is actually a vampire? Did she lure us all here to drink our blood?"

"No!" Bruno continued, "Vampire wings are black. The boss's wings were white! Just like... angels in paintings!"

Janet said softly, "The boss has been saying all along that this castle was given by God. So that means the boss must be an angel from God's side, here to save us!"

"That makes sense!"

The Short-haired Woman asked Tom, "Boss, what do you think?"

Tom actually showed a rare smile: "Don't you remember? When the boss was showing us the land earlier, she was holding garlic. If she were really a vampire, how could she handle garlic?"

"Oh, right!" Bruno slapped his thigh, "And she opened a silverware shop for us too!"

"If she were a vampire, she wouldn't be selling us garlic and silver items!"

At this moment, Old Six poked his head out from Tom's pocket and sneered, "You actually think my only sister is a vampire? Are you crazy?"

"Garlic, do you know what's really going on?"

"Didn't they already say? She's an angel," Old Six said lazily. "Anyway, you're not wrong to stay here! Where else in the world right now could you find another place this comfortable?"

After Old Six said this, the guests became even more convinced that Gu Wanyin was an angel.

"We're saved! Humanity is saved!"

"The angel has brought us hope!"

Old Six didn't want to watch their tearful faces anymore, so he nudged Tom and said, "When are you finally going to take me vampire hunting? I can't wait anymore."

Tom thought for a moment and said, "Well, in that case, I'll take you out to try now."

"Boss, won't you rest for a few more days?" the Short-haired Woman asked worriedly.

"It's fine, I only had some minor injuries," Tom said casually. "Besides, I'll be careful. We have garlic and the newly bought silver items, don't we?"

"In that case, I'll go with you."

"Alright."

...

When Gu Wanyin returned, she saw several guests gathered in the lobby chatting.

As soon as she entered, they all looked at her with burning gazes.

Within those intense looks, there seemed to be a hint of... reverence?

Gu Wanyin: "..."

She had just gone out for a flight - what exactly had happened?

"Boss, you're back!" Joshua ran to her side, his eyes full of smiles.

"What's going on?" Gu Wanyin asked.

Joshua moved a bit closer to her and asked quietly, "Boss, are you really an angel?"

Gu Wanyin: "Huh?"

But she quickly realized what was happening, gave a slight cough, and then said mysteriously, "Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed."

With that, she leisurely walked away.

And her mysterious attitude made Joshua even more certain that Gu Wanyin's identity must be extraordinary!

That evening, Gu Wanyin and Bai Shuwen were having hotpot together.

The spicy and fragrant broth, paired with tender fatty beef, crispy tripe, fresh shrimp balls... plus ice-cold cola, made everyone else's mouths water.

Hotpot was available in the restaurant, but except for Tom's squad members, others couldn't afford to spend so many points on one meal, so they had to buy other things first.

While they were eating, Tom and Jerry returned.

"Boss, you're back. How did it go?" a team member asked.

"We killed a vampire, but..."

Tom hesitated for a moment, then said, "That garlic is gone."

Hearing this, Gu Wanyin was stunned: "Gone? You mean Old Six? What happened to it?"

"It was cut in half by the vampire..."
