Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 84

Currently, there were only six monster guests in the hotel.

The pills were particularly expensive, and if they relied solely on these six to consume the pills, it would be impossible to complete this task in a short time.

She was quite eager to provide guests with weapons to deal with zombies.

A few days ago, she had heard that in another city, the number of zombies had increased dramatically, and many humans who had struggled through nearly two years of the apocalypse had finally succumbed to zombie infection.

After all, besides zombies, there were all kinds of natural disasters, which were truly impossible to guard against completely.

Happy Carp had said she would bring back a few more friends, and it would certainly be easy for their koi tribe to find celestial flowers to exchange for points.

She remembered that Nine-Tails and the others had also mentioned they would return to the monster realm today.

Perhaps...

Gu Wanyin ran to the Special Building, just in time to see Nine-Tails and the others coming out.

"Are you heading back to the monster realm? I have a favor to ask of you!" she said.

Tree Spirit smiled and said, "You don't need to say it. You want us to help promote the hotel, right?"

"Hehe, that's right," Gu Wanyin said. "But I won't ask you to promote it for nothing. Later, whether you bring guests or not, each of you—no, each monster—can play in the amusement park for free three times. How does that sound?"

This was something Gu Wanyin had just negotiated with the system.

After all, they had already milked quite a lot from the monsters.

Letting them play in the amusement park for free a few times wasn't a big deal.

And for the monsters, saving some points was always good.

The monster realm didn't have places like amusement parks, so it would be nice for them to experience it.

Although they had put up billboards in the monster realm, they couldn't guarantee that every monster would see them. Having monsters specifically help with promotion would certainly be much better.

"Sounds great!" Moon Eagle said enthusiastically. "I really want to go play tomorrow."

"It's great that we can go play for free, but even if you didn't give us any perks, we'd still help you promote," Tree Spirit said with a smile. "After all, we all hit it off with you right away."

Nine-Tails flipped her long, wavy hair and said, "Why don't we have a competition to see who can bring back the most guests?"

"Do you know how many female monsters I know?" Moon Eagle raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want to compete with me?"

Nine-Tails smirked, her eyes filled with charm: "What, you think there are few male monsters pursuing me?"

"Fine, let's compete then!"

"Bring it on!"

Gu Wanyin hadn't expected to suddenly spark their competitive spirit.

But this was good news for her.

The more guests they brought back, the more points she would earn, and the faster she could complete the task!

From start to finish, only Cat Er remained silent.

Seeing her expressionless, aloof demeanor, Gu Wanyin didn't feel comfortable greeting her. She chatted a bit more with Nine-Tails, Tree Spirit, and the others before leaving.

...

As promised, Happy Carp brought back five friends in one go, all young koi monsters who looked about the same age as her on the outside.

Each young koi monster brought a box full of celestial flowers.

Gu Wanyin wondered if they had picked all the celestial flowers in the entire monster realm!

Thinking of the task, Gu Wanyin diligently promoted the Pill Shop to them.

"Although you don't care about cultivation and magical power, there are other pills too! Ones for beauty and health. Just think, in the future, every member of your koi tribe could be as beautiful as celestial beings. Wouldn't that be amazing?"

Happy Carp shook her head: "We don't want to be like celestial beings! They have way too many rules in the celestial realm. I even met a little fairy who secretly complained to me about it."

"That's not exactly what I meant..."

"Sisters, let's go eat hot pot!"

"Yay!"

Gu Wanyin watched as the young koi monsters happily ran off to the hot pot restaurant, feeling like she could cry.

It seemed that getting the young koi monsters to spend money at the Pill Shop was unlikely.

No worries! There would certainly be new monster guests arriving.

...

After the toy store was unlocked in the hotel, parents with children flocked to browse.

Although the children had to go to school now, it was important to balance work and rest.

Moreover, the children had been through a lot of hardships during the long apocalypse, so buying some toys to comfort them was appropriate.

Not just children, but some adults were also interested in the toys.

The toy store had all kinds of toy cars, planes, tanks, dolls, as well as puzzles, Rubik's cubes, and so on. The variety was very comprehensive.

The prices of the toys ranged from ten to five hundred points.

For a while, the hotel entrance was filled with toy planes flying, and various toy cars and tanks racing around.

Some people with free time even organized a toy car race, with the loser treating everyone to a meal.

Of course, they were all very careful and played within safe limits.

Cola and Hamburger even participated in a children's toy car race.

The children's race was just for fun, with no meal-treating stakes.

In the end, Cola came in third place, feeling a bit disappointed about not winning first.

Nine-Tails and the other monsters returned gradually.

Nine-Tails brought back five monsters, Tree Spirit brought three, and Moon Eagle also brought five.

As a result, Nine-Tails and Moon Eagle ended up in a tie.

What surprised Gu Wanyin was that the one who brought back the most monsters was actually Cat Er!

Although she still wore an expressionless face, she had over a dozen monsters following behind her!

There were both males and females, dressed in various styles. Gu Wanyin could tell that three of them were cat monsters and two were leopard monsters, but she couldn't identify the others.

Cat Er was really impressive, bringing back so many at once!

Seeing Gu Wanyin's intense gaze, Cat Er said coldly, "Don't misunderstand. I just mentioned it casually, and they all came. It's not for your sake."

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm!" Gu Wanyin nodded rapidly like a pecking chick.

As long as guests came, it didn't matter whether it was for her sake or not.

Besides, she could tell that Cat Er was just putting on a cold front but was actually a tsundere.

Gu Wanyin had Xu Shi check in all the new monster guests, then diligently promoted the Pill Shop to them.

As expected, monsters without the koi's good luck were quite interested in the pills.

After getting their room cards, they all went to the Pill Shop to make purchases.

"Then let's go play in the amusement park!" Nine-Tails linked arms with Gu Wanyin, saying excitedly, "I still don't know what a human amusement park looks like!"
