Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 81: The Golden Carp Imp

Chapter 81

"It's no problem!" Gu Wanyin said cheerfully.

As long as she could earn points, it didn't matter to her whether the guests were aloof or not.

Nine-Tails also smiled, poking her cheek, and said, "Wait for me to come back, okay?"

...

Nine-Tails had returned to the demon realm, the two kids were doing homework, and Gu Wanyin was cuddling with her cat on the sofa, munching on some fries.

"Ding! New task unlocked: Entertain five demon guests. Task rewards: Unlock all rooms on the 7th floor of Building 2; Upgrade 4th and 5th floors of Building 2 once; Unlock all rooms on the 3rd floor of the Special Building; Unlock the cinema and related facilities; Unlock the toy store and unlimited access to all toy store products."

While petting the cat, Gu Wanyin asked in her mind, "By the way, system, I've always wanted to know, what would happen if humans ate the pills from the pill shop?"

"They'd have no effect," the system replied. "It would be like eating candy beans. No, actually, the pills aren't even sweet, so it would be like eating flavorless beans."

"Well, then no one would waste points buying pills."

No wonder, Gu Wanyin had seen a sign at the entrance of the pill shop that read "Human Customers Not Allowed."

Though most people probably wouldn't dare to go to the Special Building anyway.

"Oh, right! There's something I've been meaning to ask about," Gu Wanyin said excitedly. "You said before that the NPCs in the haunted house were transferred from the horror world. Could you apply to the Interstellar again to bring over the Black-Clothed Ghost?"

The Black-Clothed Ghost had told her before that he didn't like being an NPC in the horror world and didn't like eating people.

He had also secretly mentioned wanting to leave with her.

Since she had already accepted him as her underling, she couldn't forget about him now that there was an opportunity.

"Of course we can. We don't even need to apply. The Interstellar side gave me ten slots, and I've only transferred nine. There's one left, so I'll bring him over right away."

"Yay!"

Although the Black-Clothed Ghost would still be an NPC in the haunted house here, he would only be scaring people, not eating them.

Even if he wanted to eat someone, he couldn't. The ghosts in the haunted house couldn't harm the guests.

Moreover, if he made mistakes as an NPC in the haunted house, the punishment surely wouldn't be as severe.

The Black-Clothed Ghost wouldn't have to constantly worry about being obliterated.

Although he had eaten people before, that was in the horror world where it was kill or be killed, humans killing ghosts or ghosts eating humans. Both were forced into it, and with different perspectives, it was hard to say who was right or wrong.

As long as he behaved once he came here, it would be fine. If he didn't, he'd be sent back.

The system worked quickly, and soon brought the Black-Clothed Ghost over.

Gu Wanyin was waiting at the entrance of the haunted house.

A pitch-black passage appeared, and the Black-Clothed Ghost walked out.

"Big Sis! Waaah, Big Sis, I'm so glad. I knew you wouldn't forget about me!"

"There, there, stop crying," Gu Wanyin patted his shoulder to comfort him. "Work hard here, or you might end up back in the horror world, you know."

"I'll definitely work hard. I never want to go back there!" the Black-Clothed Ghost said.

"Good, that's fine then. You know all the rules here, right?"

"I do, don't worry, Big Sis!"

NPCs from the haunted house weren't usually allowed to come out, let alone go to the guest residential areas.

However, there was an alternate space inside the haunted house specifically for NPCs to live, eat, and play.

They even had salaries to buy food and daily necessities.

But those matters were managed by the Interstellar side, so Gu Wanyin didn't need to worry about it.

"You should go in now. Rest well today, and start work tomorrow."

"Okay!"

After the Black-Clothed Ghost went inside, Gu Wanyin took a ride on the roller coaster.

The roller coaster here was particularly thrilling, incredibly exhilarating to ride.

When she finished riding and left the amusement park, it was time for lunch.

She was about to go back to her room to call Cola and Hamburger out for lunch, but just as she returned to the lobby, she saw a guest come in.

This guest, like Nine-Tails, was wearing red clothes, but the style was completely different. She wore a cute puffy dress and had her hair in two buns on top of her head. From her appearance, she looked like an 11 or 12-year-old girl.

She was also carrying a delicate small suitcase.

Gu Wanyin thought to herself that this must be another visitor from the demon realm.

If it were a human from the apocalyptic world, especially an 11 or 12-year-old child, how could they be so clean, refined, and carefree...

"Hello, big sister! I'm from the demon realm. I heard there's a hotel here where you can buy magical pills and eat human food!" The little girl's voice was clear and crisp.

"That's right, this is the place," Gu Wanyin smiled. "Would you like to check in?"

"Yes! But first, I wanted to ask, is there a pool or something like that here?"

"We have hot spring pools," Gu Wanyin said.

"Ooh, that works too!"

The little girl lifted her small suitcase onto the front desk and opened it.

Both Gu Wanyin and Xu Shi, who was on duty at the front desk, were stunned.

The small suitcase was filled to the brim with celestial flowers!

Didn't the system say that celestial flowers weren't so plentiful in the demon realm? Nine-Tails only brought eight when he came.

But how did this cute little demon bring so many at once!

Could it be that she only looked small, but was actually incredibly powerful and unrivaled in the demon realm?

"Just place all the celestial flowers on the machine," Xu Shi said.

"Okay!" The little girl dumped all the celestial flowers onto it.

Soon, a room card appeared.

Gu Wanyin leaned over to take a look and saw that the little girl's name was Happy Carp.

Moreover, the room card showed a whopping 7,000 points!

Each celestial flower was worth 100 points, so she had 70 celestial flowers in her suitcase!

As Xu Shi handed her the room card, he curiously asked, "Guest, where did you get so many celestial flowers?"

"I picked them up!" Happy Carp said with a grin. "I saw the advertisement board and wanted to come play here. Then I saw that celestial flowers could be exchanged for points, so I thought I should go find a few celestial flowers. But then, every few steps I took, I found one! Every few steps, another one! So I just picked them all up!"

Xu Shi: "..."

What incredible luck!

Gu Wanyin remembered that Happy Carp had asked earlier if there was a pool.

With such good luck, could it be...

Gu Wanyin couldn't help but ask, "Are you a koi fish?"

"Yes!" Happy Carp nodded. "I am indeed a little koi fish demon! Pretty big sister, you're so clever to figure it out."

Gu Wanyin thought to herself, no wonder. Being a koi fish, of course her luck would be off the charts.

"So can I buy things in the hotel now?" Happy Carp asked again.

"Of course you can. Would you like to see your room first? Or go buy some pills?" Gu Wanyin asked.

Happy Carp licked her lips and said, "No, I want to buy food first. I've been craving human food for so long! I heard humans have something called hot pot that's really delicious."
