Chapter 7 Silence is Cambridge tonight
It's hard to believe that such a large hotel only had three survivors, but that's just how cruel reality is.
The disaster struck so suddenly that many people were killed even while they were asleep.
After all, who could have imagined that the person sharing their bed would suddenly turn into a bloodthirsty zombie without warning?
As he cleared the way, Wang Xiao witnessed many such tragedies, and all he could do was use the fire axe in his hand to end their "suffering".
When a person dies, they are buried.
The easiest way for Wang Xiao to deal with these corpses is to burn them.
As the last guest room on the fifth floor was cleared out, Wang Xiao received the system notification that the task was completed.
[The mission "My hotel doesn't allow 'dirty stuff'" has been completed.]
[Task progress: 48/48]
[Task Rating: Excellent.]
[You have received the following mission rewards: +1 freely allocable attribute value, +5 exchange points, and 1 blueprint for a level 1 explosion-proof reinforced gate]
[Based on the evaluation: An additional 5 points will be awarded as a reward. Please continue your efforts to improve the hotel's rating.]
Wang Xiao naturally knew about free attribute points, but after the previous experience of adding strength, he did not immediately proceed to the next step of adding points. Instead, he shifted his attention to points and blueprints.
[Points: The host can use points to participate in low-level prize pool draws, exchange for supplies, or use them for various hotel facilities, expansions, upgrades, and other services.]
[How to earn points: The host can earn reward points by completing system tasks, based on a comprehensive evaluation of the hotel's daily operating settlements, rating, influence, etc.]
After understanding the basic uses of points, Wang Xiao looked at the blueprints.
[Improved blueprints for a Class 1 explosion-proof reinforced gate]
[Effect Description: After use, the host can upgrade the hotel building's main gate in all aspects by consuming materials and points. The upgraded gate will have extremely excellent defensive capabilities.]
[Review: Are you still troubled and annoyed by uninvited guests occasionally barging into your hotel?]
Are you worried about whether the hotel doors can withstand the onslaught of rioters?
Good news! Good news!
Starting now, for just 88 points (not 998, not 888), plus certain materials, you can obtain a perfect door that is fireproof, explosion-proof, and robber-proof!
Don't just think about it, take action! For your hotel rating, what are you waiting for?
88 points?
Wang Xiao looked at the 10 points in his pocket and couldn't help but smile.
He can understand all the materials.
But where is he going to grab the remaining 78 points?
Just when Wang Xiao thought there must be something wrong with the system, a new task came along.
[Your excellent hands-on skills restored order to the hotel from chaos, but this is far from meeting the requirements for a perfect hotel opening. You still need to keep up the good work. Before that, perhaps you could arrange for someone to clean the hotel?]
[Task posted: The hotel is my home, and I love my home.]
This is a routine hotel maintenance task.
[Task Description: Due to poor management by the previous hotel, the Peace Hotel is in a terrible state after you take over. To create a perfect hotel, please use cleaning tools to thoroughly clean every corner of the hotel.]
[Task progress: No requirement.]
[Task Rewards: A certain amount of experience points and credits. (Task rewards depend on the overall work progress of all hotel staff.)]
[Task settlement time: 23:59:59 on the same day]
Wang Xiao: ...
He silently pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He wanted to light it immediately, but the limited amount of ammunition he had made him hold back.
Who would be so kind as to open a hotel amidst a zombie apocalypse, and then, to make matters worse, clean it?
Excuse me, did he clean this up so that the zombie brothers and sisters outside could live in it?
Could a zombie really pay him?
Is this really true?
Although he couldn't accept it, he endured it for the sake of points.
Taking out the hotel's internal communicator that he had collected from the front desk, Wang Xiao called out, "Wei Yan, Wei Yan, are you there?"
Wei Yan, who was busy applying a hot compress to the man cosplaying as a snowman, heard the communicator ring and immediately picked it up to reply, "Boss, I'm here!"
Wang Xiao sat on the bed and asked, "How is that person?"
Wei Yan glanced at the man on the bed and said in an uncertain tone, "Uh... he probably won't die."
Wang Xiao twisted his neck and continued, "It's alright. Even if you're about to die, it doesn't matter. Just remember to finish him off. Now I have another important task for you."
Wang Xiao's words made Wei Yan's gaze involuntarily turn to the man on the bed again.
Dude, you absolutely have to hang in there, I don't want to become a murderer!
Seeing that Wei Yan did not respond for a long time, Wang Xiao called out again, "Wei Yan".
Wei Yan quickly replied, "I'm here! Boss, what is it?"
Just when Wei Yan thought Wang Xiao was about to tell him something important, Wang Xiao's next words completely shattered his worldview.
"Listen, don't worry about that man anymore. Go to the cleaning room on each floor and use the tools to clean floors 1 to 3. As for the bodies, just pile them up at the elevator entrance and deal with them later."
Wei Yan: (*´･д･)?
Wei Yan, steeling himself, asked Wang Xiao again to confirm, "Boss, did I hear that right?"
As Wang Xiao walked towards the cleaning room on the 5th floor, he replied, "You heard me right. Don't doubt it, and don't ask why. Now, do as I say right now!"
Judging from Wang Xiao's tone, he didn't seem to be joking. Wei Yan, a bright student who had skipped the harsh realities of society and was now stepping into the harsh realities of the apocalypse ahead of time, dared not ask any more questions.
But he couldn't help it!
What normal person would clean their house in the apocalypse?
What else could this be but a mental illness?!
Also, why is he responsible for three floors all by himself?
Isn't this going to kill him?
Is there no law anymore? Is there no justice left?
Wei Yan asked cautiously, "Boss, what about you?"
Wang Xiao didn't say anything, but simply placed the communicator next to the faucet and gently turned it on.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
After completing everything, Wang Xiao immediately hung up the call.
At that moment, he felt the same way he used to work for a shady company.
On the other side, Wei Yan fell silent after hearing the sound of flowing water coming from the communicator.
He must be insane to choose to follow Wang Xiao, a man with mental problems.
The silent cleaning has become the Cambridge of their silence today.
Finally, with their hard work, they completed the cleaning of the hotel's first to sixth floors in the last hour before the settlement.
[The daily hotel maintenance task "The hotel is my home, and I love my home" has been completed.]
[Task rating: Fair.]
[You have received the following mission rewards: Exchange Points +12, Experience Points +10]
[Evaluation: You and your staff have a strong passion for the hotel, but as the hotel owner, you should rationally allocate the responsibilities of your staff. Hiring new employees might be the best way to resolve your current predicament.]
The task "Greet every 'God' with a smile" has triggered a limited-time incentive bonus.
[Limited-time incentive bonus: The host will receive additional rewards for completing this task within one week.]
Within a week...
There are zombies everywhere outside. Is he being forced to capture zombies to make up the numbers?
