Chapter 244 Hotel 1
"Oh, right, Xiao Jiu!"
Cheng Jiu, who was about to enter the room after taking the room key, paused and looked at Bru who had spoken.
Be more alert tonight!
Cheng Jiu nodded: "Don't worry, I usually meditate at night."
After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Cheng Jiu completely gave up sleep. Before, his cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm progressed at a snail's pace, and even if he cultivated every day, it wouldn't bring much benefit.
Not only Cheng Jiu, but other friends who have reached the Nascent Soul Realm also don't cultivate all day long because the efficiency is too low.
However, after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Cheng Jiu keenly sensed that his cultivation had entered a new period of explosive growth, and this feeling of cultivation growth was intoxicating.
In particular, the concentration of spiritual energy here is not low, unlike the desert where it is all earth spiritual energy.
"Alright, you can rest now!"
Relieved, Bru said to Cheng Jiudao, looked at him, opened the door, and went to rest.
"You too, stay alert at night, don't fall asleep. If something really happens, shout loudly, and I'll come to your aid," Bhutto's deep voice warned his teammates.
"Don't worry, boss! We're not newbies anymore!" Yan Ji patted her chest and assured her.
"Boss, we'll be careful!" Shield Steadfast assured him.
“And you too!” Bhutto warned, giving her son a glaring look.
"Dad, don't you know me? Don't worry, everything will be alright!"
Blue said with a grin, but his eyes betrayed his seriousness.
Seeing that their teammates had a clear understanding of the situation, the group dispersed and returned to their own rooms.
Don't even mention it, compared to the inns in the cultivation world, the inns here are far too rudimentary.
There were no decorative items or toiletries inside; all that was visible was a bed, a table, and a few stools, all made of stone.
There were no teapots or similar utensils on the table.
The window screen was very thin, and the evening sunlight shone through the window into the room, casting a warm, dim glow.
The windows were actually made of gauze! Cheng Jiu had never seen anything so simple. After all, the windows of inns in the cultivation world were basically made of various crystals, similar to the glass in his previous life, except that these crystals were more durable.
These paper-covered windows don't look safe; can they really protect privacy?
Cheng Jiu thought for a moment and drew a simple sealing array on the window to make it difficult for outsiders to see what was happening inside. He could also easily remove it when he left, which was very convenient!
The room can be summed up in one word: shabby. It's like a room that's just been haphazardly furnished. Yet, it costs two khassikins a day to stay here. It's simply not worth the price.
After looking around the room, Cheng Jiu found a small, button-like mechanism next to the window.
Pressing the button causes the tightly sealed wall where the small mechanism is located to slightly indent, revealing a small booklet inside.
Upon opening it, I found it contained notices about the inn. Water was precious at the border, and they had to pay for everything, from tea to bathwater.
The regulations specify the costs for tea, water for bathing, etc.
A pot of tea costs ten kash silver! A bucket of water for a bath costs twenty kash silver!
Other indoor furnishings also need to be rented using kasi, including the blankets on the bed.
Cheng Jiu said, "No wonder that bed was just a bare stone bed. I thought all the residents here slept on stone beds. It turns out the other party took away all the bedding."
In addition to these, there was food, and each dish was basically worth no less than ten silver kilos.
They're just greedy!
Just as Cheng Jiu was checking what other bizarre charges were included in the booklet, there was a knock on the door.
Cheng Jiu slightly opened the door, and outside stood Yan Ji and Bru, both carrying animal skins, their expressions quite unpleasant.
"The temperature difference here is huge, and it would be very difficult to get through the night without something to keep you warm!"
As the two men carried the animal hides, they were about to enter the room. Cheng Jiu took two steps back and opened the door for them to enter.
The two nimbly spread an animal skin blanket on the stone bed. The fluffy animal skin blanket looked very warm on the stone bed. They also put a woolen blanket on it to use as a quilt for Cheng Jiu.
“This place is getting more and more chaotic!” Bru said to Cheng Jiu, his tone was very bad and his face was also very ugly: “We only found out after we entered the room that even the bedding on the bed had been removed.”
"They're still charging us for just a few days! Father told us to go down and take a few blankets from the furry beast, just to use for these few days."
It seems this wasn't this outrageous before. I wonder what the management behind the scenes was thinking, to do something so disgraceful.
Looking at Bru's ugly face, Cheng Jiu realized that he was about to offend all the old customers he had accumulated!
What a brainless person!
"It's alright, you arrived just in time. It's the inn's fault!" Cheng Jiu reassured him.
"By the way, feel free to order whatever you need for drinks and toiletries, my son and I will cover it all!" As he spoke, Bru added, "It's not just you, the other teammates will too!"
"And what about meals? Are there any dietary restrictions? If not, then we'll order everything."
"I'm fine, I don't have any dietary restrictions!" Cheng Jiu said.
"Okay, someone will bring you food later! You should get some rest!" With that, Blue led Flame Princess out, carrying the remaining animal skin blanket in his arms, clearly intending to deliver it to the rest of his teammates.
Watching the two men leave, Cheng Jiu felt that the Bru father and son were truly excellent leaders.
Although this inn was disgusting, the cost of food and other items was really not much compared to the room rate.
Although it seems expensive, you probably wouldn't even need 20 khasikins to stay here for seven days.
But this was an extra expense, which the Blues took the initiative to cover. Who wouldn't feel good about following such a leader? It wasn't much money, but it was very comfortable!
After everyone left, only Cheng Jiu remained in the room. Cheng Jiu did not go out, partly because her identity was questionable and it was better to keep a low profile, and partly because she was not very interested in this town.
Soon there was a knock at the door, and when the door was opened, it was the servant who had come to deliver the food.
It wasn't the person who led the way earlier; it must be an ordinary employee here.
He looked very ordinary, carrying a huge lunchbox. Cheng Jiu disliked his eyes, which kept glancing into the room as if trying to see if anyone else was inside.
"What are you looking at?"
Cheng Jiu spoke coldly, looking down at the man who was only one meter shorter than her. His imposing presence always made people feel very intimidated.
The other party was startled by Cheng Jiu's voice: "No, it's nothing! Guest, this is the meal your caravan ordered for you. Would you like me to put it on the table for you?"
Without waiting for Cheng Jiu's agreement, he took a step and started to walk into the house.
Cheng Jiu grabbed him by the back of his collar, blocking his way: "I didn't let you in. Is this the kind of service your inn provides?"
Cheng Jiu's voice was loud, which quickly attracted a group of people who came to watch the commotion. Some of them were guests who had come to stay at the hotel, while others were guests who had arrived earlier than Cheng Jiu and his group. They came out when they heard the noise.
Without exception, they all watched the servants with schadenfreude.
Clearly, the new owner of the inn is not well-liked by the guests.
Almost none of these guests knew what had happened, but without exception, they all sided with Cheng Jiu, even though they didn't know him.
The servant was startled by Cheng Jiu's words, feeling guilty that he had been seen through. He shouted, "Guest, I didn't mean anything by it! I just wanted to bring your food to the table! I absolutely didn't mean anything else!"
I didn't expect you to refuse, I'm so sorry!
As he spoke, the servant kept bowing and apologizing. He even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Cheng Jiu, saying, "Please don't complain! I have elderly parents and young children to support, and they depend on this job!"
If you complain, the shopkeeper will definitely fire me. Please spare my life.
