Dimensional Store: Welcome to the Apocalypse Apartment - chapter 83

Chapter 83

“No, I’ll stay in my current room.” Gu Huaiwei sat in her computer chair, decisively refusing Lin She’s invitation.

When it comes to daily life, Gu Huaiwei is the laid-back type. Once she gets used to living in a place, she doesn’t want to move.

The senior staff dormitory has a nice environment, but it’s kept at a constant temperature all year round, and Lin She prefers a pitch-black setting. For Gu Huaiwei, it lacks any sense of the seasons.

“Why?” Lin She is usually rather indifferent, but when he has a goal he wants to achieve, he becomes especially persistent.

Like a snake-once he coils around something, he doesn’t let go.

“Because I’m a woman, and I don’t want to live under the same roof as a male colleague.” She gave a legitimate reason, hoping the difference between men and women would block Lin She’s next words.

Normally, people would give up at this point.

But Lin She isn’t a normal person-in fact, he doesn’t even count as human.

Human moral concepts are meaningless to him.

“It’s two suites. Each room has its own private bathroom. Only the living room is shared. It’s not much different from the Employee Break Room.”

Gu Huaiwei’s eyes shifted as she changed her reason: “I don’t like rooms that are too big. Smaller ones feel safer.”

“You never seek a sense of security. You even let danger happen.” Lin She didn’t understand perfunctory excuses; he took every objection seriously.

“You know me that well?” Gu Huaiwei looked at Lin She with some curiosity. Besides constantly piling on work, he was also observing her.

Thinking of Lin She’s frighteningly high success rate when collecting debts before, Gu Huaiwei crossed her arms. “Mm, you’re right, but I don’t want to change rooms. No reason.”

You don’t need a reason to refuse someone.

Lin She stared at Gu Huaiwei in silence.

When he looked at her with those dark green eyes, Gu Huaiwei felt as if something ominous had set its sights on her.

It was pure, wild, and cold-straight from nature.

That look wasn’t how you look at a colleague.

It was how you look at prey.

Gu Huaiwei refused to back down. She lifted her head and met his gaze.

Suddenly, she was a little curious about what would happen next.

With such a direct rejection, what would Lin She do?

Would he use force?

Or would he bare his fangs?

He barely opened his mouth when he spoke. Gu Huaiwei really wanted to see if his mouth had sharp fangs, or maybe a forked tongue.

She also wondered, if two internal employees of the hotel got into a conflict, which one would the Security System protect first?

To be honest, Gu Huaiwei was actually a bit eager to see Lin She react differently.

For wild creatures, being stared at for a long time is a provocation.

On Lin She’s neck, the snake-scale patterns became more pronounced, extending all the way to the right side of his face. He buttoned the top button of his shirt, and his black hair fell down, covering the exposed markings.

Winter is his weakest season.

If this standoff continued, there was a risk of revealing his true form.

Lin She was the first to give up and stopped looking at Gu Huaiwei.

“Then let He Xueyi stay in the Main Hall and sit there as a night watch.”

“Don’t ostracize the new colleague,” Gu Huaiwei said lightly, changing the subject. “Let’s stick to our last agreement and let him stay in the library.”

“No.” Lin She was resistant inside, but still compromised. “Let him move into the senior staff dormitory. It was prepared for us Assistants in the first place.”

Compared to living under the same roof with someone he disliked, Lin She couldn’t tolerate He Xueyi being too close to Gu Huaiwei.

The level of trust an Operator has in their Assistant determines the final choice the Operator will make after the gates of Paradise open.
Lin She could not give He Xueyi any opportunity to take advantage.

Gu Huaiwei responded easily, “Sure, if you want to, I have no objections.”

As soon as the new Electronic Membership Card went online, it immediately caused a sensation across major network platforms in the Underground City.

The promotional video, combined with member benefits, quickly attracted a large number of customers to sign up for the card.

Not only in the Middle District, but even the wealthy from the Upper District began to join the wave of registering as Oasis Hotel members.

They would take the High-Speed Rail to come and stay at the hotel.

Li Niang, having filmed many commercials, unknowingly became popular.

Recently, several guests came to stay at the hotel specifically for her, wanting Li Niang’s autograph.

At first, Li Niang was a bit uneasy and would ask Gu Huaiwei for her opinion.

Gu Huaiwei encouraged her to go ahead boldly.

After several interactions with guests, Li Niang gradually became more confident and learned to make her own decisions.

The successful operation of the High-Speed Rail, rooted in various transportation hubs, made travel convenient, and naturally brought more guests.

Working hard to earn money and enjoying it in leisure, the residents of the Middle District, suffocated by the Sweatshops, would think of coming to the Oasis Hotel to have a good time, as a way to make their exploited lives worthwhile.

The wealthy from the Upper District were even more generous; they often waved their hands and booked presidential suites or themed rooms for dozens of days, experiencing every available service.

He Xueyi was quite skilled at maintaining customer relations. Gu Huaiwei often saw He Xueyi being invited by guests to their rooms for tea.

Occasionally, there were a few guests who caused trouble openly.

For such guests, the first time, Gu Huaiwei would impose a fine.

The second time, she would use the upgraded “Eviction Order” function of the hotel, letting the Security Robot expel them.

Recently, Gu Huaiwei had Lin She research the hotel’s Blacklist System.

If successful, troublesome guests could be intercepted outside the Oasis Hotel in the future.

As for guests like Tang Wushuang and Fang Weixing, who might have other intentions but were high-quality customers, Gu Huaiwei would still open the door for business.

Private scheming, or disputes between guests, as long as they didn’t infringe on the hotel’s interests, Gu Huaiwei couldn’t be bothered to play judge and would leave them alone.

Bai Niao had been hiding lately, rarely receiving guests in the Main Hall.

All the work pressure fell on Qian Xia’s shoulders.

With Li Niang’s encouragement, Qian Xia had made great progress at work. She was no longer as timid as before and could proactively guide guests through the check-in process.

The constant influx of guests meant a continuously rising turnover.

Every morning, Gu Huaiwei would open the financial report and see the ever-increasing numbers, unable to help but smile.

At the current pace, the goal of operating a Five-Star hotel was within reach.

With Gu Huaiwei in high spirits, naturally, someone else was feeling desperate.

Yesterday, Gu Huaiwei unlocked the Outdoor Children’s Playground.

Fang Weixing ended up sitting outside all night.

During his stay, Fang Weixing hadn’t uncovered any secrets about this hotel.

Not only that, he also discovered that after sleeping through the night, without noticing anything, the hotel would often have a whole new set of facilities appear.

This was simply an insult to his years of professional experience.

Especially the buffet restaurant on the first floor.

He could swear that when he first arrived at Oasis Hotel, that restaurant didn’t exist at all.

But after three days, the restaurant popped up like a Rat People hiding underground.

Such a large, luxurious restaurant-when was it built? Who built it?

He knew nothing!

Utterly shameful!
