Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 159

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn\'t break the ground. Sweat was already forming on his forehead.

The others looked on in astonishment.

"It\'s true! This is land bestowed by the divine!"

"Oh God, please grant us more land to grow garlic!"

Gu Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief internally.

Fortunately, people in this era believed in divine powers.

So no matter how bizarre things got, Gu Wanyin could simply explain everything by attributing it to God.

This way, she could avoid a lot of trouble and prevent guests from asking endless questions.

"Hello, I... I\'d like to rent a plot of land," Janet approached first, speaking timidly to Gu Wanyin.

"Sure, come with me."

Gu Wanyin led her to the rack where the shovels and seeds were kept. There was already a machine there.

On the machine\'s screen, you could select which plot to rent, choose the rental duration, and then swipe your card.

Next to the garlic seeds, there was also a card reader. You could swipe points corresponding to the number of seeds you wanted to take.

The shovels were free to use but had to be returned after use.

If the land rental period expired but the garlic wasn\'t ripe yet, or if it was ripe but the renter hadn\'t come to harvest it, they could extend for two hours by paying two additional points.

However, if they still didn\'t come after those two hours, the mature garlic would become hotel property.

Janet rented the land for one day and bought one garlic seed, then laboriously planted it.

She then squatted beside it, watching the plot with sparkling eyes, as if looking at her future hope.

"Brother, should we rent a plot too?" Joshua tugged at Bruno\'s sleeve, whispering, "We don\'t have many points left and can\'t stay here for long. We need to find ways to earn more points. Having some garlic would make us feel safer."

"But renting for one day costs twenty points..." Bruno whispered back.

"That\'s better than just sitting here watching our points dwindle! Besides, we don\'t have much to fall back on, and what little points we have won\'t last long with our food and lodging expenses."

"Alright, let\'s do what you say! We\'ll rent one plot together."

The Bruno siblings went ahead and rented a plot.

The married couple, however, didn\'t rent immediately. Instead, they asked Gu Wanyin how much the ready-grown garlic would cost in points.

"For ready-grown garlic, it\'s fifteen points per head," Gu Wanyin said.

Twenty points could rent land for a day, yielding two heads of garlic.

So growing it yourself was more economical.

But the couple seemed to be in a hurry and said, "We\'ll buy one head of garlic first."

"Alright, please swipe your card over there."

After they swiped their card, Gu Wanyin gave them a head of garlic.

Now only Old Six remained in her hand.

Old Six was jumping up and down in her palm anxiously: "Why didn\'t you give me to them? I\'m eager to show my powers!"

"Well, you didn\'t say anything," Gu Wanyin replied innocently.

Old Six: "..."

After a while, Tom arrived.

His team members immediately gathered around him, chattering away for quite some time.

Tom\'s frown deepened, and he immediately went to the plots of land, crouching down to feel the soil.

Then, he went to examine the garlic seeds.

"There are two plots left," Gu Wanyin said. "Would you like them?"

Tom seemed to be hesitating when the short-haired woman said, "Boss, I think we could give it a try. We still have extra points anyway."

"Those Blood Element Pearls were exchanged with our teammates\' lives..." another person said sadly. "We can\'t waste them."

"But..."

"Enough, stop arguing," Tom raised his hand to stop their discussion. "Let\'s rent one plot first and see."

"Sure," Gu Wanyin nodded.

The task was to rent out three super fertile plots.

Now her task was complete.

After Tom swiped his card, a system notification rang in Gu Wanyin\'s mind: "Ding! Congratulations host, task completed. Reward: unlocking five super fertile plots, unlimited silver daggers, and one-click skin-changing ability."

"Hey, I feel like some more plots have changed?" the short-haired woman exclaimed. "The color seems slightly darker than before?"

"Yes, five more plots are now available for growing garlic. If anyone wants to rent, please come and swipe your card."

Old Six eagerly called out, "Buy me! Buy me! I can help you fight vampires!"

His behavior made Tom laugh.

Tom walked over, bent slightly, and smiled at it, "Alright, in that case, I\'ll buy you. But are you sure you can help me fight vampires?"

"Absolutely!"

Tom spent fifteen points to buy Old Six.

However, when Gu Wanyin handed Old Six over, it became a bit reluctant to leave her.

"Sis, you\'ll always be my only sister! Wait for me, I\'ll come back after I complete this mission!"

The silver shop was right next to the planting house.

Inside were rows of shelves, though currently all other shelves were empty except for one row displaying silver daggers.

A sign next to them showed the price: 200 points.

Silver items were vampire\'s bane, and the system-produced silver daggers were extremely sharp.

So this price wasn\'t expensive.

But right now, except for Tom\'s team who had Blood Element Pearls, no one else could afford them.

Tom examined them carefully and, confirming they were genuine silver daggers, his face lit up with joy.

"These are real silver weapons!" Tom said excitedly. "We can have weapons again!"

Previously, their team of over twenty people only had a few silver weapons.

Some were even destroyed in their last battle with vampires.

"Boss, let\'s buy one for each of us!" the short-haired woman was also excited. "Once we rebuild our strength, we can have a proper fight with those vampires!"

Tom decisively took out another Blood Element Pearl and charged it for a thousand points.

Then he bought silver daggers for himself and his five team members.

Everyone else looked on enviously.

When Gu Wanyin returned to her room, she saw a new guest had arrived, and Bai Shuwen was handling their check-in.

With Bai Shuwen there, she didn\'t need to worry. After returning to her room, she asked the system, "System, didn\'t we just unlock the one-click skin-changing function? How do I use it?"
