Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 167

In the morning, Gu Wanyin went to the restaurant for breakfast.

As soon as she entered, she heard a commotion inside.

It sounded like people were arguing about something.

Now that there were more people in the hotel, the restaurant became lively during mealtimes.

As Gu Wanyin walked in, she saw two members of Tom's team arguing with the Brute siblings about something.

However, they didn't seem to be fighting, and the surrounding guests all had expressions of suppressed laughter.

Bai Shuwen was there too, cheerfully waving at Gu Wanyin when she saw her: "You're here, come quickly!"

Gu Wanyin walked over and asked, "What are you all talking about? It seems quite lively."

Bai Shuwen whispered in her ear: "They're arguing about whether tofu pudding should be sweet or savory."

"Well... that's indeed a topic that easily sparks debate," Gu Wanyin nodded seriously.

Chinese cuisine was novel and delicious to the people of this world, so almost every guest would order Chinese food during meals. Those who had tried it wanted more, while those who hadn't were eager to taste it.

This morning, the Bruno siblings had bought savory tofu pudding.

Meanwhile, the two members of Tom's team had bought the sweet version.

That's how the argument started.

"Tofu pudding should definitely be savory, it's much better than sweet!"

"Don't talk nonsense, kid, sweet tofu pudding is the best!"

"How can anyone eat sweet tofu pudding? Who would even like that?"

"I do!"

Tom, who had been quietly eating his porridge nearby, looked up and said, "Enough, why are you arguing with kids? Eat quickly, then we'll go interrogate that vampire. The prison costs points to maintain, and the longer we keep him there, the more points we'll spend."

Hearing this, the two members of Tom's team stopped arguing and went back to their breakfast.

Bruno muttered quietly, "I'm almost twenty, I'm not a kid..."

As their argument ended, the others dispersed, greeting Gu Wanyin warmly when they saw her.

"Good morning, Angel!"

"Angel, did you sleep well last night?"

Gu Wanyin awkwardly returned their greetings and said, "Please don't call me Angel anymore, just call me Boss Gu."

"Yes, Angel... I mean, yes, Boss Gu!"

Just as Gu Wanyin picked up a bowl of chicken noodle soup for breakfast, she heard the system's voice: "Ding! New task unlocked: Welcome twenty more new guests. Rewards: Unlock ten plots of super fertile land; unlock two mystery box machines; unlock one personal spirit pet for the host."

"Personal spirit pet?" Gu Wanyin asked puzzled, "What's that?"

Then she heard the system's shy voice: "Why, that's me of course! Once you complete this task, I'll be able to have a physical form!"

Gu Wanyin: "System, who came up with the name 'personal spirit pet'?"

"I did."

"Brilliant."

...

However, this task wouldn't be easy.

Twenty new guests was quite a number.

Currently, most of the hotel's guests were those Gu Wanyin had brought back herself by driving the carriage outside.

The humans here were too afraid of vampires, and most wouldn't dare to enter such a castle voluntarily.

It seemed she would need to make several more trips with the carriage.

After finishing her noodles, Gu Wanyin prepared to go out.

Coincidentally, the Bruno siblings were also about to leave.

Each of them held a head of garlic, with particularly determined expressions.

"Are you two heading out?" Gu Wanyin asked.

"Yes!" Joshua nodded, "Boss Gu, we're really running low on points. If we don't go out to find something to exchange for points, we probably won't be able to stay here much longer."

"That's right, we've discussed it and decided we need to take the first step!"

"I'm sure we'll return safely! After all, we have garlic now!"

"Once we come back with more points, we can buy silver items!"

At this moment, Old Six came bouncing over.

He gestured to the garlic in their hands and said, "Come here, you two, I need to tell you something."

The two heads of garlic jumped out of their hands and hopped over to Old Six.

Like an elder passing on experience, Old Six said seriously, "Let me tell you something - when you see a vampire, don't bother with anything else, just bite them! One chomp and you'll take their arm right off!"

Gu Wanyin: "That's so like you."

"We understand, Brother Six!"

"Don't worry, Brother Six, you're our role model!"

"Don't forget our mission! If you slack off and don't help humans fight vampires properly, you won't be allowed into the Garlic Garden!" Old Six said sternly.

"You can count on us, Brother Six!"

"Good, now go!"

The two garlic heads hopped back into Bruno and Joshua's hands.

The siblings looked at each other, unsure what to say.

But... somehow they felt more secure!

After they left, Gu Wanyin also prepared to head out with the carriage.

With Bai Shuwen and Old Six at the hotel, she wasn't worried.

However, just as she drove the carriage through the castle gates, she caught a glimpse of a figure lurking nearby.

"Who's there?" Gu Wanyin called out, "Come out, I'm not a vampire!"

After a moment, a head actually peeked out from behind a nearby tree.

But this person didn't rush over, instead staying behind the tree and asking, "Who are you? What is this castle?"

"This castle is a hotel, or an inn if you prefer, a place for humans to stay," Gu Wanyin said. "I'm the owner of this hotel, my surname is Gu."

The person behind the tree was Eugene, one of the Duke's subordinates.

Aliali: 673ebb12c4f3f33ac4eea08cActually, he had just secretly watched Bruno and his sister leave the castle and could tell they were human.

He deduced that this must be a human stronghold, unrelated to vampires.

That's why he dared to speak with Gu Wanyin.

After hearing Gu Wanyin's words, Eugene emerged from behind the tree and slowly walked a few steps toward her.

However, his hand remained on the sword at his waist, staying alert for any sudden developments.

"Guest, are you alone? Would you like to stay?" Gu Wanyin showed a friendly smile, "You can stay as long as you have Blood Element Pearls, or gold, jewels, anything like that."

"I don't have any Blood Element Pearls," Eugene said in a deep voice. "Your place is so big, it must be able to accommodate quite a few humans, right? Why do you need to charge anything? Don't you want more humans to survive?"

Gu Wanyin couldn't even be bothered to get angry with him, she just said, "These are the hotel's rules, and it's your choice whether to stay or not. If you want to save the world, you're welcome to do so, but please don't try to morally blackmail me here."

With that, Gu Wanyin got on the carriage, ready to leave.

Eugene quickly said, "I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn just now. May I come in and take a look?"
