Chapter 16: The Sixteenth Day of Drawing Cards

Travel business?

It was another side quest that Su Yao had never seen before.

Su Yao didn't hesitate and directly initiated this task. The full moon had passed, and the injured evil spirits and beasts were resting and recovering. The Misty Forest had been particularly quiet in recent days; there was no better time than now.

[Passing through the inn... the inn entered the small town of Woshui in Wocheng...]

[The business begins as soon as the host opens the door.]

Su Yao walked to the small door and looked outside through the little window on it. Everything outside had completely changed.

It is a vast ocean.

The waves surged, seagulls sang high, and pedestrians hurried along the road, a serene beauty absent in the Misty Forest.

"Can people outside see the hotel now?"

Su Yao stood for a while and noticed that the passersby weren't looking this way, which led to her question.

[Only when the host opens the door does the inn appear in people's eyes. If the door is not opened, it is equivalent to the travel business not starting, and one can even choose to forgo this business opportunity.]

This is to avoid ending up in a dangerous place by randomly choosing a hotel.

Su Yao understood.

"Is there a more detailed map of the town? I'd like to take a look." To determine if the surroundings are safe, I need to check the map.

[5 gold coins.]

"......Alright."

As Su Yao's words fell, the system unfolded the map of Wo Shui Town.

Wo Shui Town is located in the eastern part of Wo City in the north, a city close to the sea. Living by the water, the residents of Wo Shui Town make their living through fishing and marine tourism.

The Anxin Inn landed this time right by the coastline, on the famous tourist attraction Golden Beach in Woshui Town.

Su Yao also took a closer look at the surrounding hotels. Since it was a tourist destination, there were quite a few hotels, including even a large luxury hotel.

Su Yao was only here for three days. If she focused on the accommodation business, she wouldn't have any competitive edge.

"System, can the hotel turn into a small stall? I want to set up a food stall to sell snacks and drinks."

[Analyzing host feedback...]

[The host's feedback has been accepted. Congratulations to the host for receiving a Transformation Card*1.]

[Transformation Card: Four-star one-time use card. After application, the inn can transform into another form as imagined by the host. Note: Only for use in the travel business; 3% of the money earned from transactions during this period must be paid to the system.]

It was clear that the system really loved money, enmmm... it seemed to need money even more than Su Yao.

[Then may I ask if the host wishes to use it?]

"Yes."

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

The system, according to Su Yao's imagination, transformed the inn in Woshui Town into a mobile stall.

The small wooden door turned into a car door, and one side of the vehicle could be pushed open to form a counter. Below the counter, there was an automatic cash register that could be placed on top for transactions once business commenced. The interior of the car was the inside of the inn, but guests in Woshui Town could not see it; they could only see the pure white carriage.

The stall was set up, and Su Yao began preparing the food.

In the summer by the seaside, drinks are a must—milk, cola, coconut juice, and mineral water all need to be included.

However, there is still a bit of imperfection.

Su Yao puffed out her cheeks, wanting an ice cube.

[Host, would you like to draw a card? You can also redeem it in the system shop.] The system seized every opportunity to earn gold coins.

Drawing cards and setting tracks are expensive, but what you get can be supplied indefinitely; food exchanged from the system mall is cheaper, but you can only buy one portion for one amount of money.

Su Yao thought for a moment and chose to draw a card.

[Deduct...]

"Wait!" Su Yao interrupted the system, "Let me synthesize something first."

Su Yao suddenly remembered the rewards she had received; it seemed like there were some items that could be synthesized. She didn't believe that after the first synthesis, the system wouldn't give her a chance to draw cards.

[You do understand the system.]

"Of course~" Su Yao's smile was as radiant as a blooming flower, beautiful and gentle, making the system hit a soft wall.

The system had nothing more to say, and Su Yao opened the material package.

Pet Evolution Liquid Shards *3, Plant Growth Factor Shards *3, just enough to each synthesize a complete bottle.

There were also cement fragments. Although they were fragments too, these couldn't be synthesized. Instead, Su Yao had to choose an empty spot on the map to place them, just like the decoration phase in a mini-game.

Su Yao carefully studied the ground around the hotel. There weren't many places to place the cement fragments; most of the area was covered with stones and weeds.

"Then let's place one here first." Saying this, Su Yao selected a spot at the entrance of the inn on the map.

[Don't make it too obvious that you're just here for the rewards!]

"You still dare to speak? I let you synthesize my mechanical card, so where's the reward?" Su Yao suddenly remembered this matter.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the time-limited task, unlocking the blueprint for the magic array that drives the off-road vehicle with magic ore.]

[Synthesizing Level 3 Pet Evolution Fluid and Level 3 Plant Growth Factor successful, reward: 2 card draws.]

[Level 3 Pet Evolution Fluid: After use, pet growth +100.

Level 3 Plant Growth Factor: After use, plant growth time -72 hours.

The appearance of the concrete floor improved the quality of the hotel's service, rewarding an additional card draw.

Su Yao was completely satisfied with the number of card draws she had obtained.

"That's about it, let's draw these seven times first, all set to food cards."

[Gold Coins - 700]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining braised pork, rice, garlic broccoli, shrimp and fish cake flavored instant noodles, sliced soft bread, strawberries, and konjac jelly.]

The food that was taken out was quite good, but there were still no ice cubes.

As expected, Su Yao reconciled with her luck and immediately switched to the system mall to buy 100 gold coins worth of ice. The ice could be stored in the material pouch and used as needed.

The materials are now ready.

Finally, there was the preparation of personnel.

Ya eagerly raised her hand: "I'll help with the ordering!"

As a little elf, both in terms of appearance and reputation, they are well accepted by humans. Moreover, in terms of physique, only Dotan can handle it.

"Alright, you maintain order and remind me. I'll handle the rest."

Su Yao shifted her gaze back to the little snake.

The little snake, happily wriggling its body while holding a bun, suddenly froze.

After swallowing the bun, the little snake hesitated for a moment and said, "How about the master helps me level up? I might grow hands?"

Su Yao: A snake with wings and hands may be capable, but it's still useless.

"Don't appear in front of people, but upgrading is allowed."

Currently, Su Yao has only one pet, and the pet evolution fluid can only be used on it.

The little snake, upon seeing the evolution liquid, had its tongue rolling out a meter away.

Su Yao moved the evolution fluid slightly to the left, and the little snake's tongue immediately shifted to the left; when she moved it to the right, the tongue quickly darted to the right.

Although one meter is an exaggeration, it really is quite long. Staring at it for too long can make you feel like you're losing your sanity.

Su Yao quickly gave the evolution liquid to the little snake. The little snake grabbed it in one bite and gulped it down.

[Pet growth +100. Current growth is 310, deduct 300 growth to level up.]

[The little snake has successfully leveled up to level 5 (skills have leveled up accordingly). The distance to the next level up is 1000.]

[The little snake has leveled up again, affection +10, affection is now maxed out.]

The little snake did not grow hands, and Su Yao was relieved.

"Alright, everything is ready, let's open the shop!"
