Chapter 1 Opening a Hotel in the Apocalypse, System, Are You Serious?
"Today's a real day of being a beast of burden, the supervisor from the ditch department is coming to the company..."
"Rustling sound".
As a high-quality workforce for unscrupulous companies that operate nationwide.
As Wang Xiao, temporarily staying at a high-end hotel, hummed a tune while getting water to wash up, preparing to return to the company with a fresh look to report on his recent work, a piercing siren sounded outside.
"V~5, V~5..."
Before Wang Xiao could figure out what had happened, a transparent system panel suddenly appeared in front of him.
You have activated the Perfect Hotel System.
What is this? Perfect Hotel?
[Host]: Wang Xiao
Occupation: None
[Level]: 1
[Ability]: None
【Strength】: 10
[Agility]: 7
[Physical Constitution]: 10
【Spirit】: 6
[Currently available attribute points]: 0
Current Hotel Assets: None
"This...this is a system?"
How could someone as ordinary as a cow or horse possess such a wonderful thing?
Just as Wang Xiao was staring blankly at the panel that had suddenly appeared in front of him, his phone, which was next to the sink, suddenly rang.
"Good luck, good luck, good luck brings joy and wealth..."
Out of work instinct, Wang Xiao immediately grabbed his phone and swiped for the green answer button.
"Hey, Brother Chen, what can I do for you?"
"Xiao Wang, what time is it? Why aren't you at the company yet? Have you forgotten that the boss wants to see you today? Are you expecting him to wait for you?"
"Brother Chen, don't worry, I'm... just getting ready..."
Before Wang Xiao could finish speaking, a scream came from downstairs.
"Help!"
"Murder!"
……
"Xiao Wang, what's going on over there? Why is it so noisy?"
"Brother Chen, it seems there's been a fight downstairs. Please wait a moment while I close a window."
While using various excuses to appease his superior, Chen Shanhe, Wang Xiao quickly walked towards the window.
Reaching the window, and hearing the increasingly intense sounds below, Wang Xiao couldn't resist looking down out of curiosity.
What grudge or resentment could possibly warrant... biting someone?
What the hell!
Upon seeing the situation below, Wang Xiao's pupils widened in shock.
on the road.
A man was frantically biting a woman, his head buried in her body. His behavior was just like that of a zombie in a TV show or novel. Passersby had never seen such a scene in real life, and they were all too frightened to step forward to stop him.
The woman, under the man's frenzied biting, soon became completely still.
At this point, someone finally realized what was happening and immediately shouted, "Call the police! Call the police right now! Call an ambulance!"
Someone had just taken out their phone and hadn't even had a chance to dial a number when another person pushed them to the ground.
Before Wang Xiao could even process what had just happened, screams erupted from the other end of the phone.
"Old Mo, are you crazy?!"
"Security! Where's the security guard?!"
"what!"
"Beep beep beep".
Hearing the screams on the phone, Wang Xiao slowly put the phone down from his ear.
Looking out the window at the suddenly chaotic world, Wang Xiao had only one question in his mind.
"Can anyone tell me what the hell is happening in this world right now?"
Slumped on the bed, Wang Xiao subconsciously reached into his shirt pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.
You know, cigarettes are usually reserved for superiors and leaders. As a lowly working man, he only deserves one Hongtashan cigarette. But right now, he just wants to smoke a cigarette to calm down.
Lighter, where's the lighter?
Damn it, my lighter is gone again.
At this moment, Wang Xiao felt like a powder keg ready to explode, and he was extremely irritable.
After searching for a while, he found the lighter he had dropped while changing clothes under the bed.
"Smack."
As the crisp sound of the lighter rang out, and watching the hopeful little flame ignite the cigarette, Wang Xiao immediately took a deep drag.
"Phew~"
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Wang Xiao finally calmed down.
After drawing out a single cigarette, Wang Xiao went to the window again. By then, the street outside was already in chaos.
The vehicle overturned, blood splattered everywhere, and a large number of crazed humans were chasing after those normal humans.
However, after watching for a while, Wang Xiao suddenly pulled the curtains shut and rushed into the bathroom.
"Ugh~ Ugh~"
After vomiting, Wang Xiao had the illusion that he had vomited up his stomach as well.
It took Wang Xiao quite a while to recover.
He clung to the toilet with one hand, panting heavily as he reflected on everything that had happened that morning.
Finally, he remembered the strange noise he had heard that morning.
The system, yes, he also has a system.
System, come out here!
A successful hotel business always requires a long period of operation. Now, let's take the first step and own our own hotel.
[Task issued: City Star.]
[Task Description: Please choose a sufficiently 'dazzling' location for your hotel.]
[Task Reward: +3 Free Attribute Points]
Wang Xiao: ...
Me? A zombie? I'm running a hotel in a zombie horde?
Dude, are you really going to open a hotel in the apocalypse?
Is this really a beaver?
Although he couldn't understand how the system worked, he had no other choice now.
What he has seen today is crazy enough, so why would he be afraid of something even crazier?
The task reward is attribute points... so can't I just treat it like the 'Deep Blue Simulator' where you can add points by completing tasks?
It's just about finding a piece of land to open a hotel!
Perfect timing! He's staying at a hotel right now! Everything is readily available!
System, I choose this one!
[Checking if the building and its location meet the mission requirements.]
[The building's location is currently under review: The building is located on Fourth Line, Chenghua District, Jinzhou City.]
[The building structure is currently under review: the building has 6 floors above ground, each floor has a footprint of 500 square meters, and the total building area is 3000 square meters.]
[After review, the building and location meet the minimum requirements for a perfect hotel. Do you/would you like to choose this building as your first hotel?]
Seeing the system's prompt, Wang Xiao chose "yes" without hesitation.
[Congratulations, host! You now own your first hotel in this prosperous era. Please name your hotel.]
name?
Why do we still need to name it at this point?
"Peace Hotel".
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiao came up with a name that is most commonly found in post-apocalyptic novels.
Naming successful.
[Mission City Star is complete. Mission rating: Good.]
[You have received the mission reward: 3 attribute points that you can freely allocate.]
Seeing the successive notifications and receiving three more free attribute points, Wang Xiaojing chose to add all the attribute points to Strength.
[Increase successful. Current strength value: 11.]
As a seasoned bookworm who has read all kinds of post-apocalyptic novels, Wang Xiao believes that focusing on increasing his strength is his best option at present, considering the current situation.
Wang Xiao chose to temporarily skip the three attributes: agility, physique, and spirit.
He knew that every statistic was extremely important in the apocalypse, but right now, his first priority was to ensure his survival in this hotel.
Take agility and physique for example. Even if he runs as fast as he can now, can he outrun the zombies who have no stamina bar on the streets?
As for the mental attribute, Wang Xiao had no idea what specific function it had now.
Only by increasing his strength can he better face the terrible situation he is in now.
After applying the power, Wang Xiao clearly felt that he had more strength in his hands.
Although he may not be able to punch 800 kilograms like a peak boxing champion now, punching 2 or 3 kilograms shouldn't be too much of a problem.
However, before Wang Xiao could fully experience the changes brought about by this power, a new mission was already sent out.
[Congratulations, host, you have entered the hotel opening planning stage.]
Besides having an attractive location, an excellent hotel also needs to provide clean rooms that ensure the safety of its guests.
[Task issued: My hotel is not allowed to have any "dirty stuff"!]
[Mission Description: Please clean out 48 guest rooms as soon as possible and politely ask the uninvited guests to leave the hotel.]
[Task progress: 1/48]
[Task Rewards: +1 freely allocable attribute value, +5 exchange points, 1 random basic improvement blueprint]
uninvited guest?
Does it refer to those who turn into zombies?
