Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 150

"It's something called a Blood Element Pearl," the system explained. "When humans kill a vampire, a red pearl will emerge from the vampire's physical body, known as the Blood Element Pearl."

"That's pretty similar to the Crystal Core from before."

"There are differences though! Previously, zombies had levels, so Crystal Cores had levels too. But vampires are different from zombies - while they have different ranks and positions, they don't have level distinctions, so all Blood Element Pearls are the same."

"From what you're saying, another difference is that vampires are intelligent?" Gu Wanyin asked.

"Of course! Vampires have appearances similar to humans and possess intelligence, which is why humans in this world have been driven to desperate situations by vampires. This world also doesn't have Supernatural Abilities, so humans who can successfully kill vampires are rare, making Blood Element Pearls very precious."

"How many points is a Blood Element Pearl worth? Besides these pearls, are there other things that can be exchanged for points?"

"Like a level-one Crystal Core, each Blood Element Pearl is worth one thousand points. Besides Blood Element Pearls, gold, silver, and jewels can also be exchanged for points."

Gu Wanyin frowned and asked, "Aren't Blood Element Pearls supposed to be rare? Why are they worth the same as level-one Crystal Cores?"

"Well, these are two different worlds after all. Host, you shouldn't always try to connect the two worlds - this world has its own rules. Besides, in the previous world, the author was heavily criticized for making Crystal Cores worth a thousand points, so how dare we set Blood Element Pearls at a higher value in this world?"

Gu Wanyin: "..."

After understanding the background of this world, Gu Wanyin toured the castle with Bai Shuwen.

The castle was massive, with six floors and thirty rooms on each floor.

The second floor had single rooms, the third floor had double rooms, the fourth floor had king-sized rooms, the fifth floor had family rooms, and the sixth floor had presidential suites.

As for the first floor, it contained Gu Wanyin's main quarters, staff dormitories, and some shops yet to be unlocked.

Unlike the previous apocalyptic hotel, this time all the rooms in the castle were unlocked from the start.

On both sides of the castle were the east and west towers, each containing additional rooms.

This meant they wouldn't have to worry about not having enough space for guests.

Behind the castle was a large, bare plot of land.

The system said that completing corresponding tasks would unlock the back garden.

"Ding! A new task is about to begin, is the host ready?"

"Bring it on," Gu Wanyin said confidently.

"Host five hotel guests, unlimited time, no identity restrictions for guests. Task rewards: garlic seeds, two plots of super fertile soil, and one super hammer."

This task reward was completely unexpected for Gu Wanyin.

"System, don't tell me the garlic can be used against vampires?"

"Correct! Host is so smart!" The system was generous with its praise.

"But if that's the case, why don't people in this world just grow more garlic?"

"Because garlic seeds in this world are very strange and extremely difficult to grow. Moreover, vampires keep a close watch, and if anyone dares to grow garlic, they destroy it before it can mature. The vampires in this world are very powerful - they're not afraid of sunlight and can move freely even during the day."

"I see."

No wonder this world had become an apocalypse due to vampires - it was truly difficult for people to survive...

"What about the super hammer?"

"That's for you, host!" the system said proudly. "Gu Han has a hammer, so my host should have one too! There are all kinds of rewards waiting for you in the future!"

Gu Wanyin: "Ah..."

A strange sense of competitiveness increased.

By the time they finished touring the castle, night had fallen.

Gu Wanyin planned to get a good night's sleep and go looking for guests with Bai Shuwen tomorrow.

This time, the system was more generous than before, providing not only a restaurant and various foods from the start but also a horse-drawn carriage.

The carriage was spacious, easily able to seat seven or eight people.

Gu Wanyin and Bai Shuwen enjoyed a nice barbecue dinner together before retiring to their respective rooms for the night.

This time, the main quarters had a different decoration style from before, featuring a medieval classical style, but the level of luxury remained unchanged. All facilities were well-equipped, the large bed was particularly soft, and the hanging drapes beside it were beautiful.

Bai Shuwen's staff quarters were naturally not as nice as Gu Wanyin's, but they were still better than her previous single room, so she was satisfied.

Moreover, the staff quarters' wardrobe contained two sets of staff uniforms - red dresses that Bai Shuwen loved as they particularly suited her temperament.

After showering, Gu Wanyin lay on her large bed and watched several vampire-related movies on her tablet.

In most movies, vampires were portrayed as beautiful beings. She wondered if the vampires in this world were also handsome men and beautiful women...

Early the next morning, Gu Wanyin and Bai Shuwen had a quick breakfast of steamed buns before setting out in the carriage.

Both of them and the carriage had an invincibility buff.

Anyone who boarded the carriage would be protected from vampire attacks.

After traveling for a while, the surroundings remained desolate.

"Could it be that there are no survivors left in this world?" Bai Shuwen couldn't help but ask.

"That's impossible," Gu Wanyin said.

If there were no survivors, what would be the point of her running a hotel here?

Just as she finished speaking, they heard rustling sounds from nearby bushes.

Gu Wanyin's eyes lit up, and she immediately called out, "Is anyone there? Don't be afraid, I'm human too!"

There was no response.

People here probably maintained high vigilance.

They were likely hiding in the bushes, secretly observing her.

"I really am human! Look, my eyes are black, and I don't have vampire fangs!"

After a while, the rustling sound was heard again.

Then, Gu Wanyin saw two heads peek out from the bushes.

It was a boy and a girl, both looking quite young, around seventeen or eighteen years old.

Gu Wanyin gave them a friendly smile.

Aliali: 67358284d72ede93494505f5"What are you doing here?" the boy asked nervously. "How dare you stand on the main road with a carriage? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by vampires?"

"Quick, come hide!" the girl added.

"Don't be afraid, my carriage has lots of garlic on it," Gu Wanyin said. "Come up first, and I'll explain everything to you properly."

Of course, there was no garlic on the carriage.

But if she didn't say this, no one would believe her carriage was safe.

"G-garlic?" Their eyes lit up at the mention. "You have garlic? Did you grow it? Can you share some with us?"

"Come up first, don't worry, my carriage is safe."

Bai Shuwen silently glanced at her, thinking they seemed like bad people trying to lure children...

Despite her words, the two still hesitated.

However, at that moment, a "kekeke" laugh echoed through the air.
