When he raised his head again after a moment, he saw Fang Yao standing there stupidly behind the counter with an afro.
Seeing him looking over, the other person moved his gaze blankly, then slowly opened his mouth and blew out a few puffs of light smoke...
Bai Zhi: "..."
Volume 1: The gap between fiction and reality: Chapter 313 Chapter 309: The position of store manager, my position as store manager...
"Then what... shouldn't we need to compensate for this thing?"
Pointing to the corpse of the so-called measuring instrument on the counter, Bai Zhi cautiously asked Fang Yao in front of him.
"unnecessary… "
Facing Bai Zhi's question, Fang Yao shook his head dully.
Then when Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, he followed up by saying something that made Bai Zhi almost suspect that he heard it wrong.
"... Because from now on, this hotel is yours... "
"What?"
"I just received a notice that you are now the manager of this hotel... Why do you think so!?"
When he said this, Fang Yao's voice suddenly rose 80 degrees, and he almost jumped out from behind the counter.
"I have been working hard all year round. I have been working hard for more than a year but I am only a low-level employee. I originally wanted to counterattack and become a store manager. Why do you want to take my position as a store manager as soon as you come here?" Gone!?"
"Be clear, what do you mean?"
Bai Zhi reached out and knocked on the table, and Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"How come..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a gold-gilded page appeared in front of him out of thin air, and a pure gold pen appeared next to it.
When he picked up the gilded page with a slight frown, the system prompts appeared in front of him.
[Item name: World Master and Servant Contract]
[Type: Special Items]
[Quality: Legend]
[Special Effect: Contract. After signing the contract, you will become the master of this broken world and have the highest privileges in the world itself.]
[Conditions of use: Only I can sign.]
[Restriction: After signing the contract, there is no time limit, and at some point in the future, help this broken world recover.]
[Note: After signing the contract, this broken world will be bound to the player, and the player will go to other worlds with this world.]
"This thing..."
Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw the introduction about this gilded paper page in front of him.
To be honest, this was the first time he had seen an item of legendary quality.
Ruined, Common, Rare, Elite, Perfect, Epic, Legend.
This is the equipment and item skill level classification currently known to players. So far, there has been no news about the appearance of epic level items. Perfect level is the top.
Take Bai Zhi for example, he can be considered a relatively good player, but if you don't count the perfect skills, the highest level items he holds are only elite level.
"...are each of the [Noah's Arks] the so-called broken world?"
Bai Zhi suddenly had a new suspicion in his mind.
"But what does it mean to run away eagerly and accept me as your master? And seeing that this condition is almost free... you have enough."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Bai Zhi raised his head and looked at Fang Yao in front of him.
"The position of store manager, my position of store manager..."
She completely ignored him and looked at the gilded paper page on the table. Fang Yao, who was standing behind the counter, looked like he was about to cry. He kept mumbling and repeating these words. His whole body looked at him. Going up there is incredibly sad.
"It's up to you. I have no intention of signing any contract."
Bai Zhi lowered his head and glanced at Qing Yi, who was unconsciously clutching the corner of his clothes with his hands. He curled his lips and brushed aside the [World Master and Servant Contract] in front of him.
"Let me ask you something, why do these people living in this hotel encounter all kinds of bizarre and strange events?"
"Wait... you, you, you don't sign!?"
The whole person's eyes suddenly opened wide, and Fang Yao looked in disbelief.
"Do you know what are the benefits of becoming a store manager!? This..."
"There's nothing surprising, right? I have no plans to leave this world at the moment."
Bai Zhi shrugged slightly, with a noncommittal look on his face.
"Although there will be many benefits after becoming a store manager, you can only go alone, right? Is it really good to be alone? I don't think so."
"But anyway... I understand."
Fang Yao, who originally wanted to say something, suddenly had a look of realization on his face after seeing the movements of a certain white-haired lolita on the side.
"If I were asked to leave such a cute loli, I would never... ahem, that's no problem."
Fang Yao clenched his hand into a fist and put it to his mouth and coughed a few times. After returning to normal for a second, Fang Yao nodded cautiously.
"Noah's Ark can only carry one person at most. If you had signed this contract just now, then I would be abandoned by Noah's Ark. That would be a fate worse than death... Thank you very much for this. From now on. If you want to stay in my hotel, I will give you a 50% discount."
"Just throw it away... You, the clerk, really don't have any human rights."
Bai Zhi shook his head slightly.
"Who says it's not the case? I'm also working very hard to increase my authority..."
Fang Yao smoothed his hair that was blown into a chicken nest with his hands, and sighed melancholy in his mouth.
"Kaitan can't invade the upstairs, but it can still invade the hall. So far, I don't know how many times I have died, but after the permissions are upgraded, I can also go upstairs... At present It’s soon.”
"So you are miserable too."
After listening to the other party's words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
"It's just miserable, it will get better gradually in the future. As for your previous problem... "
Picking up the tie on the table and tying it on himself again, Fang Yao pointed upstairs.
"Staying in this hotel not only has the advantage of not being completely invaded by ghost stories, but also the fact that you can take refuge here to save your life when you are entangled by ghost stories. It also has an invisible benefit."
"There's a chance to be a player, right?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and expressed the suspicion in his mind.
In the previous mandatory mission in Tombstone Apartment, the layout inside Tombstone Apartment was basically the same as here, but in Tombstone Apartment, players were artificially cultivated by Kaitan and then harvested.
"Yes, those who are qualified to become players will have a certain chance of becoming players after staying in this hotel."
Fang Yao took out a comb from the drawer and combed his chicken coop hair, while Fang Yao nodded.
"Although you will encounter more dangers after becoming a player, only players can resist the attacks of Kaitan when danger comes. Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
"Very well, then the last question is, have the police come here before?"
Bai Zhi nodded.
"No, there are a few strangely dressed people here. They have gone upstairs now."
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yao answered.
"Those people should be players. They probably regarded my place as a strange incident and came to me specifically to deal with this incident. I plan to talk to them about cooperation after that."
"Are there professional handlers from the relevant departments... So there should be no danger upstairs?"
Bai Zhi stood up from his seat.
"Not necessarily, because there are also players among the passengers who check in, and there may be a few fallen players among them."
Putting down the comb in his hand, Fang Yao shook his head.
"We only guard against ghost stories here, not other things. There are some things, and some things are more terrifying than ghost stories."
"I understand, so how do we go upstairs?"
Glancing upstairs where there was still no movement after such a long time, Bai Zhi nodded clearly.
"Pay the so-called [source currency]?"
"No, you have a VIP card, so it's free."
Sighing in his mouth, Fang Yao picked up the two golden VIP cards on the table and another pure white card that appeared after Bai Zhi refused the contract, and then handed them over to them. Come over.
"Honestly, I have never seen a combination like yours, a white-haired lolita, a doll rabbit, and..."
"Thanks."
Reaching out to take the VIP card, the black rabbit doll in Qingyi's arms waved its paw at him politely.
Fang Yao: "..."
Good morning(?O｀)
Volume 1 The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 314 Chapter 310 You will never be able to walk up this flight of stairs! !
Noah's Ark... let's call it the name of the hotel for now.
In a sense, the effect of this hotel is similar to the Tombstone Apartment that Bai Zhi had experienced before.
In the world where the Tombstone Apartment is located, all human beings are held in collective captivity by strange stories and live in tombstone-like apartments to survive. Although the world is not destroyed, in fact it is almost there.
The special floor used to cultivate players in the Tombstone Apartment has the same practical effect as this hotel, which can effectively catalyze the birth of players.
From this point of view, what Xia Wen called before and said that the school beauty suddenly fainted is worth pondering.
"I don't know whether she is lucky or unlucky..."
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi's expression looked a little subtle.
"Why take the stairs? Wouldn't it be better to take the elevator?"
Following Bai Zhi with a grimace on his face as he walked up the long staircase, a certain white-haired loli complained in her mouth with dissatisfaction.
Qingyi's nature is a strange story, and it would have been impossible for her to be allowed to enter the floors above the hotel. However, because of the VIP card, she also gained the right to set foot here.
"A place like the elevator is too small. If you are attacked, you may not be able to move. It is far less convenient than the stairs."
While raising his head and looking upward through the gap between the railings, Bai Zhi answered casually.
"There may be danger upstairs. The few people who went up before should be players from the relevant departments who received the alarm notification and rushed to deal with the matter. There was no trace of any strange stories in the hotel, and there was no need for them to stay. It took such a long time, so I have enough reason to conclude that they encountered a lot of trouble up there... huh?"
Suddenly sensing something was wrong, Bai Zhi turned his head and looked behind him.
Just as he was speaking, Qingyi, who was supposed to be following him, disappeared together with Anna in her arms.
And on the corner platform below, which was about a dozen stairs away from where he was now, a fat man with a simple build was already standing there at some point.
"...Fallen player?"
Squinting his eyes slightly, Bai Zhi turned around and looked at the other party.
He is not worried about the safety of Qingyi and Anna, especially Anna, because in a way, Anna is the most capable of the three of them...
Hope the other person is okay.
"Yes, don't worry, it's just a few rats that sneaked up... It's a trivial matter, just leave it to me."
Holding the phone next to his ear, he was still chewing on a greasy chicken leg in his mouth. After saying these words indifferently, he bit the chicken leg in his mouth and swallowed it together with the bones. The fat man Then he raised his head and looked at him.
"Stop looking. Instead of worrying about the other party, it's better to worry more about yourself."
Putting the hung up cell phone into his pocket, the fat man showed a slightly ferocious smile on his face.
"You are still somewhat smart, but do you think we are fools? Now this magical hotel has been under our control for a long time. Every move you make in the stairwell has been shown to us a long time ago. It’s crystal clear.”
"Are you a fallen player? It seems that you are no different from ordinary players."
Bai Zhi leaned against the handrail of the stairs with his hands folded, and yawned lazily.
"How many of you are there and what is the purpose of controlling this hotel? If you are willing to tell them all, I may be able to be more lenient with you."
