Dimensional Store: Welcome to the Apocalypse Apartment - chapter 34

This damn device.

Gu Huaiwei patted the computer that couldn’t connect to the livestream equipment and sighed.

You really can’t rely on the computers provided by the hotel.

When she went home for the holidays this week, she’d go to the computer mall and build a new one.

Lin She had gone out to take out the trash, and who knew when he’d be back.

Worried that Lin She might be out killing and dismembering people, Gu Huaiwei went door to door, knocking on each room to confirm the safety of the regular guests, and handed out compressed biscuits as a complimentary gift for staying.

Fortunately, not a single guest was missing.

Except for Xiao Youqi, whose whereabouts were unknown, and Qian Duoduo, who had gone out in the morning, everyone else was alive and well.

Some were drinking tea, some were soaking in the bath, others were doing aerobic exercises-everyone was desperately enjoying the benefits brought by the Oasis Hotel.

Lu Ziyi and Lu Hao returned to their room, secretly discussing something.

They seemed quite unhappy about their biological father coming to the hotel and were plotting countermeasures.

Gu Huaiwei ran to the entrance to check the cars.

They had come in five vehicles, and Lu Hao had promised to give her the “Saber-Toothed Shark” to offset the 100,000 Gold Coin bet.

The “Saber-Toothed Shark” was a modified black armored vehicle, its oversized Off-Road Tires deeply embedded in gravel and sand, exuding a powerful and imposing presence.

The windows had been replaced with Bulletproof Steel Plates, leaving only narrow observation slits.

On the roof was an Anti-Aircraft Turret, used to strike distant enemies.

Gu Huaiwei wasn’t too fond of the non-mainstream paint job on the car’s exterior.

Skulls, Claw Flames, giant sharks-none of it matched her aesthetic.

She planned to repaint the car bright red.

And change the Saber-Toothed Shark’s motif to her favorite Gun-Toting Bishoujo.

With her trademark decisiveness, Gu Huaiwei returned to the Real World that very night, ordered some colored paint, and then came back to stay at the shop.

Because she returned late, Gu Huaiwei didn’t disturb Mu Lingxi.

The next day, as Gu Huaiwei was placing the paint at the front desk, she saw Lu Ziyi storming downstairs, slamming 60 Gold Coins onto the counter.

“Clang-” The coins hit the tabletop.

Two nearly rolled to the floor, but Gu Huaiwei caught them with her hand.

“Carpet cleaning fee and damages to the greenery-here’s your compensation!” Lu Ziyi’s fox-like eyes burned with anger as she parted her red lips. “Insane, this place is insane, you and your staff are insane too!”

Gu Huaiwei happily gathered the coins and slid them into the front desk drawer, then crossed off the compensation fees for Lu Ziyi on the bill.

“What’s wrong? Why are you so angry this early in the morning?” Seeing Lu Ziyi so furious, Gu Huaiwei lazily tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Did my colleague violently collect debts from you last night?”

Lu Ziyi took a deep breath, her chest heaving.

“Can’t you hire some normal people here?” Just thinking about last night’s experience gave Lu Ziyi goosebumps all over.

“I’m a normal person,” Gu Huaiwei propped her face up with one hand, lips curved in a smile. “What did Lin She do to you? You can secretly complain to me.”

Lu Ziyi crossed her arms and glanced at Gu Huaiwei. “That guy isn’t your boyfriend, is he?”

Gu Huaiwei shook her head. “Of course not.” She’d never dated, and ever since she was little, any boy who approached her only did so to pass love letters to her sister.

Lu Ziyi began to complain about Lin She’s behavior: “Money, money, money! That’s all he cares about!

That kind of guy, with that pretty face wasted, so rigid and clueless-he’ll never have a woman like him in his life.”

It turned out that last night, Lin She had gone to see Lu Ziyi as agreed.

Lu Ziyi had specially taken a bath, let her long hair hang wet, changed into a sexy, alluring qipao, planning to enjoy a romantic evening before discussing the hotel’s secrets.

Instead, Lin She stood in the living room and spent two hours explaining the bill to her.

He explained in detail how every Gold Coin was calculated.

When Lu Ziyi touched his face, she found his body temperature as cold as a corpse.

Any time she tried to talk about something other than the bill, Lin She would fix her with those dark green, icy eyes, staring at her the whole time.

Until she felt chills in her heart.

“He even said he hoped I’d pay up soon, or else he’d come find me every night until my booking ended.” Lu Ziyi couldn’t help but complain. “Tell me, isn’t there something wrong with him?”

“He’s definitely not normal.” Gu Huaiwei’s long lashes lowered as she looked down. “Now that you’ve paid the compensation, he won’t bother you again.”

If she hadn’t paid, Lin She would most likely have killed the siblings after their stay ended, using their flesh and blood to pay the debt.

“He’d better not. I have no interest in men who are all looks and no substance.” Lu Ziyi turned to leave, the slit in her qipao flashing a glimpse of spring as she walked.

She was a beautiful and enchanting Poppy Flower, capable of mesmerizing many men.

Lin She’s lack of interest wasn’t because Lu Ziyi wasn’t attractive enough, but rather because Lin She was, in all likelihood, just wearing a human skin.

The impact of the livestream was extraordinary.

Gu Huaiwei logged onto the Underground City forum, and the Oasis Hotel was trending at the top.

There were no available rooms left on the Oasis Hotel app.

As soon as a regular room became available, it would be booked through the app within three seconds.

Demand far outstripped supply.

More and more Wasteland Wanderers were coming to the hotel.

Gu Huaiwei unlocked the remaining four themed rooms.

It cost 4,000 Gold Coins.

[Oasis Hotel: Two-star]

[Hotel Prosperity Level: 162]

[Unlocked Areas: Regular King Room, Twin Room, Themed Room ×8, Vending Machine ×4, Staff Rest Area]

[Remaining Balance: 19,588 Gold Coins]

The newly unlocked themed rooms were: Pine Forest Listening to Rain, Bamboo Mist Vastness, Wind and Snow Over a Thousand Mountains, and Ferry Crossing at the Maze Ford.

All the themed rooms focused on a fresh, natural style.

When all eight themed rooms were unlocked, the computer screen flickered and a strange window popped up.

The background was colorful, with a cartoon Ferris wheel spinning.

Red text flashed in the pop-up, looking very much like a virus alert.

[Special Themed Room Available for Unlock: Childhood Dream Paradise]

[Unlock Condition: Apply for a Paradise Card.]

[Warning: This pop-up will only appear once in This Plane. The Paradise Card will monitor all your transactions. Please choose carefully.]

[Warning: 30-second countdown begins. 30, 29, 28…]

Gu Huaiwei’s hand, poised over the mouse, froze.
