After all, the purpose of his work was to obtain NPC status. Now that he has successfully become a hotel intern and obtained the corresponding rule manual, there is no need to continue working hard.

The little girl at the front desk wearing a "small face" mask seemed to have no objection. She nodded: "Okay, I'll explain it to the guests right now."

"Thank you for your hard work." Qi Jiu sent the other party away, closed the door and continued drinking tea and fishing.

Qin Rang: "...that's it?"

Qi Jiu smiled: "We're not really here to be massage therapists, it's more like that."

Qin Rang:......

He didn't expect that the other person would be passive and slow down after being hired. This kind of employee is really scary. He secretly warned that he must beware of this kind of employee after successfully inheriting the company in the future.

Time passed very quickly. When it was close to ten o'clock at night, the sound of door openings came from the originally silent corridor one after another, followed by the sounds of deliberately soft footsteps and muffled voices.

The "Visitor Check-in Safety Manual" states that the daily dining time is from 22:00 to 24:00, and reminds travelers not to miss meals. Seeing that the time is almost up, everyone gradually moves out and walks towards the restaurant indicated on the map.

Qi Jiu also sat up from the tatami: "Let's go, let's join in the fun."

Qin Rang: "Eh? Is that okay? We are interns now, so we shouldn't be able to eat from the passengers' buffet."

Qi Jiu: "But the rules for interns don't say that employees must stay away from guests while they are dining, so I checked to see if there are any violations. The buffet every night should be an important plot point, so it's best not to miss it."

For things like this that are not clearly stipulated, if there are loopholes, don't take advantage of them.

After the guests had almost left, Qi Juqinrang put on his mask and walked to the restaurant.

The buffet restaurant on the second floor of the hotel is adjacent to the north courtyard. The east, west and south sides of the restaurant follow a simple wooden wall structure, while the north and ceiling are made of modern glass. On such a night when the snow is falling, the dimly lit restaurant is illuminated by the snow outside.

Bright.

Bamboo floor lamps emitted faint light in the four corners of the room. Dozens of dishes were already displayed in the dining window. Due to the light, Qi Ku, who was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, could not see the specific dishes.

Most of the travelers who were waiting for the meal seemed restless. Qi Zhu found that these travelers had formed a small group. At this moment, they all looked at the rules and regulations posted on the place where the tableware was placed, and they were discussing something with each other in lowered voices.

There are two service staff in the restaurant, one wearing a chef uniform standing behind the window, and the other is responsible for guiding the guests.

Without exception, both of them wore pale and strange masks.

"Hello, excuse me, I am a new trainee masseur at the hotel today. I would like to come over and promote our massage services while the guests are dining." Qi Qiu took the initiative to talk to the staff member responsible for guiding.

The staff stared at the "Sixteen" mask on Qi Ku's face for a few seconds, then nodded stiffly and said, "Okay, but please don't disturb the guests while they enjoy dinner."

"Thank you for your understanding." Qi Qiu said politely, winking at Qin Rang, and the two of them entered the restaurant smoothly.

Xiao Mi, who was standing in the crowd, noticed the movement here and cast his gaze in the direction of Qi Qiu.

Qi Jiu just nodded towards her calmly.

Xiaomi is different from most people. There is no worry or fear on her face, but her brows are slightly furrowed as if she is thinking about something.

The lady standing next to her always frowned slightly, habitually pressing her chest with her gloved hands, looking worried.

Xiaomi seemed impatient with his wife's instructions, but mother and daughter were inseparable.

"Mom, really, why did you forget to put on the wrong yukata again?" Xiaomi looked at his mother, complaining, and stood on tiptoe to put a windbreaker jacket on her mother, "Hurry up, otherwise

It’s going to be a joke.”

The madam, who was always in a trance, came back to her senses. When she noticed that she had accidentally exposed the right half of her yukata, she let out a low "ah" in shame and hurriedly used her daughter's windbreaker to cover her neckline.

Qi Jiu saw this scene in his eyes and was inexplicably concerned.

Because besides complaining just now, Xiaomi was clearly very nervous.

Seeing that the time was coming, Qi Jiu and Qin Rang approached the place where the tableware was placed and saw clearly the dining rules of the restaurant——

"Good evening dear guest, in order to provide you with a pleasant and healthy dining experience, please strictly abide by the following three dining guidelines:

1. You must enjoy the buffet every night during your stay in the hotel, otherwise the hotel chef will be dissatisfied;

2. Please choose at least two dishes for each meal, and at least one meat dish;

3. Eliminate wasteful behavior and must finish the food on the plate;

have a good meal."

The three-line code of conduct is much simpler and clearer than other codes, but it will not let travelers who are forced to dine here relax.

Because the simpler the rules, the easier it is for people to think in the direction of fear.

When the ten o'clock bell rang, the chef-like staff opened the dining covers one by one and bowed deeply to the guests who came to dine: "Please take your time."

Qi Jiu now saw clearly that the hotel buffet had a rich menu.

There are barbecues steaming on the iron plate, fish sashimi that looks fresh and delicious, steaks with your choice of doneness, vegetable and fruit mixed salads, ramen with an onsen egg, boiled seafood, and desserts such as cream cake and

Strawberry ice cream.

It is a dish that a high-end hot spring buffet restaurant should have.

But the players standing in front of the window holding dinner plates were hesitant. They looked at each other, and no one seemed to want to be the first to pick up the food.

Because the dungeon is very flexible, the rules now known to everyone cannot guide them in choosing meals. They can only rely on props, common sense and luck.

A young male player who had just passed the novice level was pushed forward. He stood in front of the dazzling array of dishes and hesitated: "Do I have to choose meat dishes? I am a vegetarian and in principle do not eat meat."

He struggled a bit, trying to test the rules.

The masked chef nodded politely and replied: "Dear guest, in principle we will not force guests, but the hotel needs to operate in order. This is clearly written in the "Guest Safety Guide"

We respect your dining habits, but you will be responsible for any serious consequences caused by disruption of order."

The chef's implication is that diners can choose food at will without following the rules, but this will have terrible consequences, which will also fall on the diners themselves.

The chef said so, and the young man gave up his struggle. He first conservatively chose a fruit and vegetable salad, but was still hesitant when choosing meat.

The tall man behind the young man suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't touch bloody food. It may represent danger and killing."

"Also, it's best not to choose those sashimi, as there may be parasites there." The tall man reminded again.

"Ah..." The young man's hand that was taking the sashimi immediately retracted, "What you said is indeed a bit..."

The tall man said firmly: "I have done a dungeon on the theme of food and parasites before, so for the sake of safety, it is best not to touch raw or cold food."

"It turns out it's senior..." The young man sighed as if he was saved. He turned to the steak aside and said to the chef, "I want a well-done steak, thank you."

"Okay, please wait a moment," the chef immediately started cooking steaks on the induction cooker next to him. "Although it is a buffet mode, in order to allow guests to eat delicious dinners, we insist on food that requires heat and temperature.

Freshly made.”

The tall man and four other boys followed closely behind. The meat choices were basically barbecued meats and well-done steaks.

While waiting for the meal, the tall man kept telling the young man that he worked in a trade union and had three degrees of experience. The four buddies around him were all members of the trade union. If you have anything you don't understand, you can come to him to discuss it.

Let’s all read this together.

The young man nodded and thanked: "I'm so lucky. I just passed the novice trial dungeon, and as soon as I entered the official dungeon, I met a senior like you."

"We are all buddies from now on, and we take care of each other." The tall man laughed.

Qin Rang, who stood aside and watched this scene as an "NPC", had mixed emotions. In the previous copy, he seemed to be so silly and sweet.

Fortunately, he was really lucky and met the newcomer Qi Ku, who was even more powerful than the boss, otherwise he would have died long ago.

"Qi Jiu, what do you think?" Qin Rang, who was out of the crisis of dining choices, was curious and asked Qi Jiu who was standing aside.

Qi Ku shook his head: "There are too few known clues and copy backgrounds, so it is difficult to make a judgment. If it were me, I would probably choose..."

He paused, then smiled, "Choose to avoid meals so that you can truly minimize the risk."

Qin Rang: "...It's true, you pretended to be sick to avoid it when you were in the cafeteria of Bates Factory."

Qi Jiu smiled: "But it was too hasty that time and the process was quite risky. It's easier to just stand aside and watch like today."

Only then did Qin Rang realize that he could now stand and talk in the restaurant without backache, all thanks to Qi Jiu's efforts to gain the status of a staff member from the beginning.

He looked at Qi Jiu wearing a mask out of the corner of his eye. This guy was so scary.

Qi Ku's prediction of the crisis was far more accurate and far-reaching than he imagined.

Perhaps when Miliu City decided to enter this dungeon, Qi Ku had already predicted today's situation.

But Qi Jiu is a newcomer who has passed a dungeon...

"But this union boss's decision is actually very imprudent." Qi Jiu, who was standing far away, said in a low voice.

Qin Rang looked confused: "Eh? Isn't it wrong not to choose raw or cold food?"

He believes that this is human instinct. Raw and cold food symbolizes primitiveness and danger, while cooked food is a product of civilization, so it is safer.

Qi Jiu shook his head: "It's not about the cold food, it's about the union boss saying that bloody food represents killing, but he still chose a well-cooked steak."

"Actually, red also represents killing and danger. If we follow his logic, all red meat should be passed on." Qi Jiu analyzed.

"Another thing is strange," Qi Jiu looked at the chef who was busy cooking and said with a slight frown, "Since the chef emphasized that the restaurant pays attention to "fire and temperature," why did he choose an induction cooker for cooking? He shouldn't use more

Is it easy to control the temperature of an open flame stove? An induction stove seems too unprofessional..."

Does this hotel prohibit "open flames"?
