Reborn In the Apocalypse: My Hotel Has Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 220

Watching his awkward retreat, Chu Jiangyue snorted inwardly. Trying to leverage public opinion against her? He should realize his own limitations first.

Behind him was a girl, who seemed a bit timid, perhaps because Chu Jiangyue had just dealt with someone.

"Ch... Boss Chu, I don’t have much, can I still top up?"

She had noticed that most people ahead of her could top up more than one gold coin, making her worried that she might be refused for having less.

"It’s fine, any amount is okay. But if you want to stay here or buy something, your account needs to have sufficient funds."

Chu Jiangyue wasn’t running a charity; she couldn’t eat and stay for free.

The girl nodded, "I... I only have crystal cores, no gold or silver jewelry."

She lowered her backpack and took out a small cloth pouch from it.

The pouch was bulging, clearly holding a substantial number of crystal cores.

"No problem, crystal cores alone are acceptable, we take them all anyway."

The girl probably wanted to save some gold soul for her own cultivation. She scooped out a handful of crystal cores from the pouch, selected the amount she needed, put some back, and placed the rest into the exchange device.

[Detected 20 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores, 10 Level 2 Crystal Cores, and one Level 3 Crystal Core.

Can be converted to 2 gold coins and 20 silver coins. Proceed with exchange? Yes/No]

"Tap ’Yes’ if you want to proceed."

Someone had just asked if they could reverse the exchange later. Chu Jiangyue wanted her to reconsider, in case she regretted it and caused trouble later.

But the girl didn’t hesitate and tapped ’Yes.’

The next moment, the crystal cores on the exchange tray disappeared, transforming into a silver identity card.

Seeing her own identity card, her eyes brightened with joy.

"Boss Chu, I also want to check in."

She had made up her mind since entering Jianglin Hotel, and now she was just implementing those decisions one by one.

Being a girl, Chu Jiangyue recommended that she consider a single apartment in residential Zone C.

Though pricier, the comfort was far superior to shared accommodations with others.

The girl hesitated at the cost of the single apartment.

Even with her superpower, going out alone could still be risky, and she wasn’t certain she could earn enough every day.

What if she couldn’t afford the rent someday, let alone meals?

"Don’t let the price scare you; you’ll find it’s worth it once you move in.

Try it for two days first. If it’s not suitable, we can make other arrangements."

Since Zone C’s apartments were generally expensive and few had moved in, Chu Jiangyue often recommended it whenever there were vacancies.

"Alright, I’ll stay for two days first and see."

Unable to resist Chu Jiangyue’s recommendation, the girl chose to move into a single apartment in Zone C.

"By the way, when I came in, I heard someone mentioning that the commercial street is looking for tenants. Is that true?"

After checking in, the girl inquired about renting a shop in the hotel commercial street.

"Yes, are you considering renting a shop?"

However, seeing the current account balance of the girl, Chu Jiangyue cautioned, "The rent for a shop is relatively high, and if you’re not confident your shop will make money, I suggest being cautious.

If you can’t pay the rent, there will be penalties.

While non-intentional delays won’t get you blacklisted, there will be late fees.

The interest on late fees is high, so it’s better to be careful."

After speaking, even Chu Jiangyue thought she was acting like a saint, turning away rent money that was in her grasp.

"I can make desserts; do you think I could open a dessert shop here, Boss Chu?"

Despite Chu Jiangdu’s warning, the girl didn’t want to give up. Owning a dessert shop had always been her dream.

Now that she had the opportunity, she didn’t want to let it slip away.

Hearing the idea of opening a dessert shop, Chu Jiangyue was momentarily surprised. It was unlike any existing shop.

"Emmm... currently there are no similar shops, so if you truly want to try, go ahead.

Here’s the available space for rent; the rent is displayed next to each. Let me know which one you want."

With a wave of her hand, a virtual screen suddenly appeared on the counter, displaying the live map of the Jianglin Hotel’s commercial street.

Some shops on the map were highlighted in color, while others were gray, indicating they were already rented.

The girl’s budget was limited, so after a quick tour, she picked a relatively secluded spot.

The space wasn’t large, but the rent was comparatively lower, only 50 silver coins per month.

The price was half of what a prime location would cost.

Though 50 silver coins were a lot for her, it was still the cheapest option among all.

"Are you sure about this? Once the rent period starts, you can’t change locations unless you pay another month’s rent elsewhere."

The girl nodded, "Yes, this is the one."

She couldn’t afford the rent for other spots anyway.

"Alright, how many months do you want to pay for?"

She could take advantage of having money now and pay for several months, to avoid problems if business later slowed down.

"I’ll just pay for one month first. If things don’t go well, I can still go out to gather crystal cores and hunt mutated animals."

The girl wisely left a backup plan for herself.

"Okay, just swipe your identity card here to pay. The store can be accessed the same way with your card.

The store has only the basic decor, so if you want to run a dessert shop, you’ll need to prepare everything else yourself."

The girl nodded, indicating she understood, then lifted her hand to swipe her identity card and pay the rent.

After the girl leased a shop, no one else behind her, even by the time the last person registered their ID card, rented a space.

Though someone inquired midway, they didn’t decide to lease.

[Host! Host! People are also coming out of the secure passage at B City Base!]

Just as Chu Jiangyue finished registering a batch of identity cards, the voice of Little Fox sounded again.

Hearing the content, Chu Jiangyue was momentarily stunned.

Had B City Base already fallen to zombies? How come there were people coming out from there?

[Didn’t you know, Host? Former B City Base leader Lu Zhengyao has been clearing buildings at the old site and providing shelter for survivors passing by.

The reason people are emerging from the secure passage is probably them advertising for us.]

Chu Jiangyue: This unexpected favor.

Now that some had been sent over, she didn’t even need to venture out to know they would head to the office lobby.

Without an identity card, one couldn’t move an inch at Jianglin Hotel.

Sure enough, after waiting a short while in the office lobby, Chu Jiangyue saw some people coming in.

Seeing Chu Jiangyue, the men’s eyes in the group brightened.

As for the women, their eyes lit up seeing Chu Jiangyang.

"Welcome to Jianglin Hotel. I’m the owner, Chu Jiangyue, and he is the hotel manager.

You all seem to be new guests? If you want to make purchases or stay at the hotel, every one of you needs to register for an identity card."
