The lights in the hotel were bright and warm, making people feel drowsy.
It was already night, and the next attack was in ten minutes. To keep himself from falling asleep, Gray wandered around the inn, looking here and there.
"Boss, is this light powered by light magic, or is it driven by magic stones?" Grey wondered, puzzled as to why a single button press could keep it lit continuously
"It's powered by magical ore. There's a magic circle."
Su Yao had already prepared the answer.
In the magical world, explaining the use of electricity to others was futile, but as long as she mentioned a magic circle, everyone would believe her.
Sure enough, Gray immediately nodded in agreement: "I knew it was a magic circle. The shopkeeper is indeed a very powerful magician."
Last night, during the battle, both husband and wife noticed the changes in the inn. Whether it was the sudden rise of a tall building or the drawing of a magic circle, only an eighth-level mage could accomplish such feats.
Gray glanced at Su Yao once more. So young and already an eighth-level mage... The Dragon Roar Continent truly hides many talents.
"Have you used up the previous potions? I still have a few bottles here." After a good sleep, Su Yao turned the remaining herbs into potions.
Gray and Renata took half, and with what was left, they had ten bottles, enough to last the remaining two hours.
[Level three Spider King is approaching, please prepare for battle immediately, host!]
Su Yao looked out seriously; this time, the evil spirit started directly from level three.
Renata stood beside Su Yao and also saw the five spider-men kings advancing towards the inn.
"The backyard is still safe for now, let's help you in the front first." Renata's face didn't look good either.
She knew the Spider King. Although its level wasn't high, it was quite disgusting. According to the statistics at the mercenary mission center, its large web frequently appeared on the danger list. It had a high success rate for ambushes and a high fatality rate. Even high-level mages could easily suffocate in its web.
"No, don't come out," Su Yao refused their help. "I have a way to deal with them."
This is not Su Yao being stubborn; she truly has a solution.
After speaking, Su Yao gave a mysterious smile and took out a set of... a spacesuit from her backpack!
[Level 3 Clothing Card: Choose any modern attire.]
This card was drawn in the first ten pulls. It looked quite ordinary, and since Su Yao usually wore the default outfit, she never thought about where it could be used.
Until the last encounter with the Spider King.
The first time she encountered danger while fighting monsters, Su Yao still remembered it vividly. That feeling of being sucked into a vacuum was as if she had been thrown into outer space.
Su Yao, fearing that this situation might happen again, kept racking her brains for a solution.
And then she really did come up with something.
After hearing this idea, the system really wanted to file a complaint against the original game. It felt quite helpless, but couldn't say it was wrong. The Spider King's web indeed created a vacuum environment to deal with enemies, and the spacesuit was indeed a product of human ingenuity designed to adapt to a vacuum environment.
Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
The system had no choice but to bite the bullet and give Su Yao a definite answer.
Su Yao finally had the opportunity to conduct an experiment today.
With heavy steps, he walked out of the hotel's protective shield, and the Spider King's web descended directly upon him.
Su Yao remained calm and unhurried, enjoying the sensation of floating and gradually adapting to space activities.
Gray and Renata saw this scene from inside the house, and their hearts leapt into their throats.
"Why don't we go out and help?"
After waiting for another minute, Renata saw that the eccentrically dressed Su Yao was still struggling to move her limbs within the net. She finally couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed her weapon, and ran out.
As soon as she stepped out of the protective net, she was pulled back by Grey.
Before Renata could voice her question, Gray spoke first: "We won't be needed here. Let's go back."
Renata turned her head and realized that the battlefield had already changed.
Although Su Yao was still floating in the web, and her sword movements were extremely slow and clumsy, the Spider King was already covered in wounds!
Actually, Su Yao was also surprised.
In a vacuum, sound cannot travel, but magic can!
Having dealt with all the Spider Queens present, Su Yao began to examine the web. It was good that her attacks could be transmitted, but how could she get out if she couldn't hit the web?
Suddenly, a spell struck, halting Su Yao's thoughts.
She was rescued.
"Feels like you might need us," Renata raised an eyebrow and smiled at Su Yao.
Su Yao responded with a smile, "Thank you. But it seems my equipment is still not comprehensive enough."
Spider King confirmed that they had all disappeared, and the next wave of attacking beasts would be the Level Five Twin Tigers.
[Double Tigers: Usually, two tigers appear together, hence they are called Double Tigers. They look similar to ordinary tigers, but one has no ears, and the other has no tail. Their characteristics are high speed and strong attack and destructive power.]
Su Yao: .....
This plan is really lousy, even the nursery rhyme "Two Tigers" can be used.
Grekin brandished his iron rod, his whole body surging with hot blood. "I never thought there would be two tigers. I've long wanted to meet them!"
Renata also said, "Boss, step back. It's our turn to take action this time."
The two fifth-level tigers against the two five-element mages seemed quite fair. Su Yao noticed that the two wanted to hone their skills, so she didn't argue and stepped back.
The evenly matched battle left Su Yao, a level four mage, utterly astonished.
Gray and Renata drank all the potions and finally defeated the twin tigers.
Next, the frequency of appearances by evil spirits and beasts increased, leaving no time for temporary rest in between.
Su Yao and her team fought tirelessly for two hours and finally made it through the challenging full moon event.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully protecting the inn and perfectly completing the "Full Moon" event in June. Tonight's rewards are being calculated... Total event rewards are being applied for...]
The system took two days to settle the accounts, and by the time Grey and Renata set off from the forest, Su Yao still hadn't received any notification.
The couple was a great help. Su Yao originally wanted to see if there were any treasures she could give them after settling accounts, but the system remained silent. In the end, Su Yao could only give them some food and a tracking card.
It is worth mentioning that Grey was also very interested in the dirty cards in the store, and Su Yao unhesitatingly packed them up for him.
Another leisurely day passed, and the system's notification finally arrived.
[On the sixteenth day of the sixth lunar month, the host and the guests together defeated 53 beasts and 98 evil spirits.]
[Congratulations to the host for gaining 119 inn experience points and 3500 magic experience points.]
Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Pet Evolution Liquid Fragment *2, Cement Road Fragment *25, Unknown Conscience Fragment *1, Plant Growth Factor Fragment *3, Magic Ore *5, Iron Block *2, Wood *5, Copper *1, Level 3 Evil Spirit Bone *31, Swamp Slime *55, Tiger Power Card *1, Nursery Rhyme Card *1, Treasure Hunt Card *1.
In addition, there were various items that could be melted down into materials for repairing the inn, as well as meat that could be fed to the little snake.
Su Yao saw that the hotel experience points had reached 1000, so she immediately had the system upgrade it.
[The inn has successfully upgraded, currently at 100 experience points, needing 2119 more experience points for the next upgrade.]
[The hotel has added a third floor, including 2 new staff dormitories, 2 single rooms, 1 double bed room, 1 standard double room, and 1 door.]
[The inn has successfully been upgraded to level 5. The daily maintenance and cleaning fee has increased to 500 per day. Congratulations to the host for earning 3 card draws. Congratulations to the host for opening the travel business.]
Travel Business: Are you still troubled by not being able to find customers? Are you still worried about the dwindling gold coins? Then start a travel business!
After starting the travel business, the host's inn will immediately arrive in a city. The host can open the newly added small door to integrate into the city and trade with local beings (including but not limited to inn accommodations, food, potions, etc.).
It can be opened once a month, each time lasting three days, so please ensure that the travelers' stay does not exceed three days.
After opening, the hotel’s main entrance and backyard will normally lead to the Misty Forest. Hosts, please ensure the safety of your guests.
