Chapter 29 I actually quite liked your defiant attitude just now.
[Task: One-Day Trip to Yinghua Grand Hotel Completed]

Upon hearing the system notification, Wang Xiao saw that his personal panel had been refreshed once again.

[Physical Constitution]: 12.3

[Hotel Staff]: Wei Yan (acting general manager), Xue Wu (position unknown), Zhao Yajun (position unknown), Lu Ran (head chef), Li Shu (position unknown).
After reaching level 3, Wang Xiao's various stats increased by 1.3, and he used the few free points he had saved up to increase his agility.
Currently, all of his attributes except for spirit have exceeded 10 points, with spirit remaining at 8.3.
Since the role of mental attributes is not yet clear, Wang Xiao chose to temporarily retain the allocation of free points, just like before, in order to deal with unexpected situations like the sudden attack by Yang Hua and his group this time.
In addition to his improved strength, after relentlessly exploiting the system's resources during this period, his points reached 184, just enough to replace the hotel's main door with a new one.
But doing this would also reveal to the hotel staff that he is a superhuman.
Fortunately, Wang Xiao was prepared, and Yang Hua was the key he used to explain to everyone.
After all, being able to withstand the impact of his enraged state without dying, Yang Hua doesn't seem like an ordinary person. He's probably an ability user like Yue Man, whom he encountered.
In order to understand Yang Hua's abilities and verify Yue Man's claims, Wang Xiao decided to spare his life for the time being.
After taking stock of his recent gains, Wang Xiao sat up in bed, rubbed his slightly sore neck, and took out the basic improvement blueprint.
[Level 1 Weapon Development Station]
[Effect Description: After use, the host can transform any room into a weapon research room. The transformed room can then be used to modify, analyze, upgrade, and research weapons to varying degrees by consuming points.]
[Comment: When a hotel guest's safety is threatened, it's better to trust your own security than to rely on others for help.]
The weapons development station will provide your hotel with the most comprehensive equipment support for security.
Remember, truth always resides only in your own hands!
[Construction Cost]: 1000 points.
No, buddy, I'm not kidding.
One zero, two zeros, three zeros.
1000 points... He worked himself to the bone his whole life and only earned 184 points.
Asking for 1000 right off the bat is just outrageous!
What kind of good person does business like this?!
Looking at the points required to build a weapon research station, Wang Xiao couldn't help but wonder whether he was exploiting the system or the system was reaping his wealth.
This weird system might have some kind of performance-based cutoff mechanism after it opens, right...?
Despite his envy of the weapon development station, Wang Xiao decided to fix the gate first, given the pitiful amount of points he had, and also to meet Yang Hua, the ability user.
We arrived at an empty warehouse on the first floor.
Upon seeing Wang Xiao arrive, Xue Wu, who was guarding the warehouse, immediately stood up and said, "Boss."
Wang Xiao asked, "Have you dealt with those people at the back gate?"
Xue Wu said, "They've all been cleaned up and should be in the zombies' stomachs by now."
"Well done."
After giving Xue Wu a brief compliment, Wang Xiao walked up to Yang Hua, who was still unconscious and firmly chained up.
Looking at Yang Hua's bloodied and mangled face, Wang Xiao asked, "Do you have any way to wake him up?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Wu was slightly taken aback, then replied, "Yes, but he might not be able to hold on; he might die..."
Wang Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's alright. Wake him up. Someone like him should have been prepared to face death long ago."
Unfortunately, he was unlucky and happened to run into me.
"If it were anyone else, you, Wei Yan, and your wife would all be in a much worse situation than him. With that in mind, do you still feel any pity for him?"
The thought that even without Wang Xiao, his wife would have met the same fate filled Xue Wu with disgust and hatred.
"I see."
"Wake me up."
"Yes."
As a veteran, Xue Wu had plenty of ways to wake up a comatose person.
Arriving at the hotel entrance, and seeing the collapsed gate, Wang Xiao began attempting to upgrade it using the system.
[Would you like to upgrade this gate by spending 88 points?]
Yes.
[Inspecting the overall condition of the gate...]
[The gate has been found to be severely damaged. An additional 20 points and 30 kg of steel are required. The total cost of this upgrade is 108 points and 480 kg of steel.]
Looking at the consumption table provided by the system, Wang Xiao was still able to accept it.
In the current situation, the one thing that is not lacking is steel.
You can just drag any car off the street and dismantle it for hundreds of kilograms of steel, but dismantling is hard work, so Wang Xiao decided to hand the task over to Xue Wu and his team.
However, the extra 20 points he spent made Wang Xiao feel a little heartache, as it took him one step further away from his weapon research platform.
If he had known that repairing the door would cost extra money, he should have had Yang Hua slap the floor against his face in the first place.
"Boss, the person is awake."
Just then, Xue Wu's voice came through the communicator.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao replied expressionlessly, "I understand, I'll be right there."
Just when I was feeling sleepy, someone brought me a pillow!
Upon arriving at the warehouse, seeing Yang Hua, who was soaking wet and gagged, Wang Xiao kicked him directly.
After kicking out, Wang Xiao felt much better.
Although Wang Xiao had reduced the force of his kick, it was still more than Yang Hua could withstand in his current state.
Seeing this, Xue Wu chose to remain silent.
Looking at Yang Hua, who was groaning in pain on the ground, Wang Xiao said coldly, "Help him up, and remove the thing from his mouth. I have questions for him."
"Yes."
Following Wang Xiao's orders, Xue Wu disregarded the severity of Yang Hua's injuries, forcibly pulled him up from the ground, made him kneel in front of Wang Xiao, and removed the rag from his mouth.
Once he was able to speak, Yang Hua blurted out, "Fuck you..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Xue Wu punched him directly.
"Who do you think you are, to dare disrespect our boss?"
Even after taking a heavy punch, Yang Hua was still unconvinced and looked at Wang Xiao and Xue Wu standing in front of him with a face full of resentment.
"Fuck you..."
"Bang!"
"Laozi..."
"Bang!"
"old……"
"Bang!"
……
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Hua's "father" finally turned into "I beg you."
Facing another punch, Yang Hua trembled and cried out, "Please stop! Please stop!!!"
Yang Hua pleaded desperately, "I was wrong! I was really wrong!!!"
Wang Xiao raised his hand to signal Xue Wu to stop, and said with a smile, "I actually quite liked your arrogant attitude just now. Come on, give me another performance, but this time it won't be him who does it, it will be me."
Looking at the smiling Wang Xiao, Yang Hua felt only despair and fear.
This guy isn't human, he's a demon! A devil!!!
