The girl at the front desk was stunned for a moment: "Oh, okay."

"I'm sorry to trouble you. Once I successfully attract customers, I will give you 20% of the proceeds." Qi Gu seemed gentle and harmless, but he put himself in a position to control the incident throughout the process.

He turned his attention to the water-based pen in the girl's hand and said, "Can you lend me the pen? There is also a blank paper. I will simply make a note."

"Ah, no problem." The girl immediately took out a notepad from the drawer, tore off a page and handed it to Qi Qiu.

Qi Qiu immediately wrote out the split document in black and white and handed it to the girl at the front desk: "If you see that there is nothing wrong with it, this will be our contract."

He has always been a very conscientious partner.

"By the way, can you tell me the price of a hotel room?" Qi Qiu asked again.

The girl at the front desk: "Our boss is very nice and she never charges employees room fees."

Qi Jiu smiled and pushed up his glasses: "What if I fail the assessment? I have to think of a way out."

The girl also smiled and introduced skillfully: "Our hotel currently has four room types. Among them, the standard room and double bed room have the same price, both are 12 yuan a night. These two room types can add one bed at most. If you decide

An extra bed requires an additional service fee of 3 yuan; a single room is 7 yuan a night; of course, there used to be a large room for eight people, which cost 4 yuan a night. Travelers who come to enjoy hot spring vacations rarely choose this large room. Generally

They are all backpackers passing by, but the Datong store is closed recently."

Qi Jiu: "Why isn't Datongpu open?"

He was never willing to let go of any doubts that might become clues.

The girl shook her head: "I don't know that."

Qi Qiu did a simple calculation. If someone shared a bed and stayed in a three-person room, each person would have to pay 5 coins. Adding the 24-hour normal door flow rate consumption, each traveler would need to consume at least 29 coins per day.

The basic living expenses are not low.

"Hey, wait a minute, your promotional card didn't write the price of massage. What should I say if a customer asks?" The girl looked at the small card handed over by Qi Qiu, which only said "Hot spring special ancestral massage"

"'s signboard and some regular massage items do not have specific prices marked on them.

Qi Jiu said "Ah" in a low voice, pretending that he was careless and forgot: "Our charging standard is 8 coins for half an hour, 14 coins for one hour, starting from half an hour."

In fact, it was not that he forgot to mark the price, but that he was not clear about the consumption level of this copy before, and was worried that no one would patronize it if he set it too high, or too much loss if he set it too low, so he planned to price it flexibly after understanding it clearly.

Although the purpose of their massage is not to make money, but to obtain NPC rules that are different from tourists, but they have pressed all the buttons, so they cannot let themselves suffer a loss.

"Okay, I understand." The girl at the front desk placed their little card in a conspicuous place.

"Thank you for your hard work," Qi Jiu smiled politely, always hard to refuse, "Can you also give me a copy of the "Tourist Check-in Safety Guidebook"? Although I am not a tourist, this is my first time.

I came to the hot spring town once. If I successfully get hired, I will stay here until the end of the vacation, so I want to get to know the customs and customs here."

Qi Jiu had already noticed the "Guest Check-in Safety Guide" on the shelf at the front desk, which printed the rules that players need to follow when checking into the hotel.

"Okay, we usually issue a check-in manual to every guest who comes to stay." The girl handed the manual to him, "Let's go, the boss lady asked me to temporarily arrange a room for you to rest. You can stay in the room.

Waiting for guests to arrive at the door."

Qi Qiu glanced at the instant door of the "Visitor Check-in Safety Guide", his expression slightly condensed.

Good guy, this hot spring hotel has ten rules and regulations from the very beginning. There are many rules.

He was not in a hurry to read the rules, but followed the girl at the front desk through the hotel corridor.

The guest rooms are located on the left side of the corridor, and the right side is adjacent to the snow-covered dry landscape courtyard. It is time to turn on the lanterns, and the floor lamps in the courtyard are lit up one by one, and the light shines through the window panes on the girl's clogs.

"Click, click."

The sound echoed in the dimly lit corridor, clear and long, making this snowy night even quieter.

The guest room on the left has all folding shoji doors, all doors are closed tightly, and there is no light at all.

The corridor is very long, the shoji doors are connected in darkness, and the light from the bamboo floor lamp is ambiguous. In the dark environment, it is difficult to tell how many guest rooms there are on this floor, and it is also difficult to see the house number on each guest room.

Number.

"Click, click."

The girl's footsteps became more and more intensive, the sound of wind and snow outside the window became louder, the chandelier in the yard swayed, and the light cut by the window panes was like countless flowing lines, flowing in the seemingly endless corridor.

"Excuse me," Qin Rang felt panicked and suddenly spoke out to break the strange silence, "these-"

"Click."

The sound of clogs stopped, and the girl suddenly turned around and glared at him stiffly, her index finger pressed on the lips painted on the mask: "Shh!"

The strange mask paired with the dim and unclear light made Qin Rang gasp in fright, and he covered his mouth and did not dare to speak.

This kind of silent warning can instantly give people a strong sense of shock. Coupled with the strange and depressing atmosphere, Qin Rang broke out in cold sweat all over his body.

In fact, the group only walked for less than half a minute, but they always felt like they had been there forever.

Until the girl stopped in front of the door at the end of the corridor, she did not rush to open the door, but stood in front of the door and raised her hand to knock on the door leaf——

"Boom, boom, boom."

Three times in total.

After knocking on the door, the girl suddenly shouted to the door: "We are coming in!"

After finishing speaking, he stood quietly in front of the door for another two seconds. After seeing that there was no movement inside, he opened the door and entered.

Qin Rang stared at Qi Qiu beside him in stunned silence. The girl's series of strange manipulations made him feel numb.

"Before the guests arrive, please rest here for a while. If you need my help, just ask." The girl returned to her gentle and shy look, nodded to the two of them, then exited the room and opened the door for them.

close.

The sound of clogs gradually faded away, and now Qin Rang breathed a sigh of relief: "Fuck, you scared me to death just now."

Although there were no supernatural events throughout the whole process, the terrifying atmosphere of the intersection of light and shadow made people more panic-stricken than real fear.

Qi Qiu looked back at the "Tourist Check-in Safety Guidebook", read it carefully and quickly and handed it to Qin Rang: "We almost violated a taboo just now, but fortunately the little girl at the front desk stopped it in time."

"Eh……"

Qin Rang looked at the "Tourist Check-in Safety Guidebook"——

Sweet dreams."

Qin Rang was silent for a long time after reading: "Oh my god... I have never read such a long code."

But at the same time, he was also relieved, because the strange behavior of the girl at the front desk just now was finally explained. She just guided them into the guest room in accordance with the rules and had no other meaning.

But then again, these rules themselves are extremely weird...

Qi Jiu: “Although there are many words in the code, we only need to remember the key points: knock before entering, do not open other doors, keep silent in the corridor, go to bed early at night and do not go out without opening the door anyway.

It’s not hard to remember that a fourth bed appears, you can’t peek into the NPC’s true appearance, etc., but..."

He stared at these rules, frowned unconsciously and said, "Did you find out? These rules are a bit contradictory."

"Ah? Where?" Qin Rang was confused by the words and couldn't find the contradiction at all.

Qi Jiu pointed to the sixth and seventh rules: "Look, rule six says to try not to leave the room after 24:00, but rule seven says to wake up roommates immediately and leave the room. These two rules are obviously in conflict.

"

"But we can't be sure which one is accurate. We have to get the employee's identity and compare it," Qi Zhu continued, "but now it's basically certain that this "Tourist Check-In Rules" is 'contaminated' to a certain extent.

Already."

After writing down all the rules and regulations, the two began to observe the door of the temporary room assigned by the landlady.

This is a standard Japanese-style room. Although the door is not big, it has all the facilities.

The tatami mats had been laid out for them. Qin Rang looked around and found no so-called front desk call button in the house.

"Hey, why can't I find the guest room button to contact the lady at the front desk?" Qin Rang searched for the room door again.

Qi Jiu: "It's possible that our place is not a guest room, but a room door where employees are placed."
To be continued...
