Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise - Chapter 65: Unlocking Schools

Chapter 65

Moreover, the system would actually pay salaries to the teachers at the school.

Although the base salary was only 500, according to the system, there would be bonuses if the students performed well.

Gu Wanyin understood that even if the system paid teachers in points as salary, it wouldn’t affect the system’s ranking much.

After all, there must be gains where there are losses.

After opening the school, it would attract more guests with children.

In the post-apocalyptic world, who would dare to hope that their children could still go to school and receive an education?

But now, the hotel could provide their children with an opportunity to attend school!

Furthermore, one teacher could teach many students, and for students to attend school, there would be additional expenses. Even without mentioning tuition fees, things like books, notebooks, and stationery would all generate income for the system.

So this was a sure profit.

“System, how will guests apply for teaching positions?” Gu Wanyin asked.

“After the school is unlocked, I will create a separate room as an interview room. When people want to apply, they can enter one by one, and I will have them demonstrate their abilities according to the requirements.”

“I see.”

As for the task of selling a hundred books from the bookstore, Gu Wanyin wasn’t worried.

The bookstore sold textbooks, and once she told the guests with children that the school was about to be unlocked, they would definitely go to the bookstore to buy them.

Gu Wanyin remembered that there were already more than a dozen children in the hotel.

Plus Cola and Hamburger.

Of course, as her family members, school and related things would be free for Cola and Hamburger.

However, speaking of this, giving Cola and Hamburger proper names was now an urgent matter!

Gu Wanyin immediately got up and left her room.

She was terrible at naming, so she wanted to brainstorm with Dong Yue, Zhuang Xiaoxia, and others she was close to.

As for the surname, that was easy; they would take her surname, Gu.

She had just reached the lobby when she ran into Fu Siheng.

He looked like he had composed himself, showing no particular expression, though he did smile when he saw her.

“Perfect timing, Manager Gu. I was just about to say goodbye to you.”

“You’re leaving?” Gu Wanyin asked.

“Yes,” Fu Siheng nodded, “I think I’ll go somewhere else.”

Staying in the hotel made his emotions very complicated.

He kept thinking about how Zhao Yueyue died for him, and he also felt guilty towards Bai Shuwen.

But he didn’t want to erase his memories again.

After losing that part of his memory, he felt regretful and rueful.

He finally understood that memories are not something to be easily discarded.

No wonder exchanging just one memory had cost him so many points before.

Even the system understood the importance of memories.

But he only realized it today.

Gu Wanyin naturally wouldn’t interfere with someone else’s choice, but she reminded him, “The points on your room card haven’t been used up, and they won’t be refunded, nor can they be transferred to someone else. Are you sure you want to leave?”

“Yes,” Fu Siheng nodded, “Perhaps I’ll come back someday.”

“Alright then, I wish you safety,” Gu Wanyin smiled.

Fu Siheng smiled back and said, “Thank you. And… please help me say goodbye to Miss Bai.”

He knew he was being cowardly, not even daring to say goodbye to Bai Shuwen in person.

But… let it be this way.

After saying this, Fu Siheng turned and left.

Gu Wanyin watched his retreating figure, feeling somewhat emotional.

Fu Siheng was the second guest of this hotel.

She hadn’t expected him to leave.

However, outside there was no place as absolutely safe as the hotel.

Fu Siheng must have considered this carefully.

Gu Wanyin went to room 201 to find Dong Yue, but no one answered when she knocked, and Zhuang Xiaoxia wasn’t in the room either.

She returned to the lobby, where Xu Shi told her that Dong Yue and Zhuang Xiaoxia had gone to the gym, and Bai Shuwen was there too.

So she also went to the gym.

The gym was large, with many treadmills and various other fitness equipment.

Gu Wanyin saw Bai Shuwen running on a treadmill, while Dong Yue and Zhuang Xiaoxia were sitting nearby chatting.

Gu Wanyin could understand.

She once had a classmate who bought a gym membership.

But every time she went to the gym, out of laziness, she would sit down after running just a few steps…

Seeing her arrive, Dong Yue and Zhuang Xiaoxia waved to greet her.

Coincidentally, Bai Shuwen had just finished running. She walked on the treadmill for a while before getting off, slightly out of breath.

“Manager Gu, are you here to work out too?” she asked.

“No, I have something I want to discuss with you all,” Gu Wanyin said, “But before I talk about my matter, I have something to tell Miss Bai… Fu Siheng has left, and he asked me to say goodbye to you on his behalf.”

“He left?” Bai Shuwen was stunned, “Where is he going?”

“I don’t know.”

Bai Shuwen was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, “Well, it doesn’t matter if he’s gone. After all, there’s nothing between us anymore.”

Zhuang Xiaoxia noticed that she still seemed a bit upset, so she changed the subject, “Manager Gu, what did you want to discuss with us?”

“It’s like this: we’re about to unlock the school, and I’ll definitely send Cola and Hamburger to school, but I need to give them proper names. We can’t keep calling them by these nicknames,” Gu Wanyin said, “But I’m terrible at naming… so I wanted to consult with you all.”

So, they began a lively discussion about what names to give Cola and Hamburger.

In the end, they couldn’t reach a conclusion, so they went to consult Teacher Wu, who used to teach Chinese literature.

Then, they also asked for Cola and Hamburger’s opinions.

Finally, they decided that Cola would be named Gu Zhixian, and Hamburger would be named Gu Zhixu, taken from an ancient poem: “How many southern winds can one know? Listen closely to each string’s permission.”

…

As Gu Wanyin had anticipated, once they heard about the school opening, all the parents with children rushed to the bookstore to buy various textbooks for their kids.

Additionally, some guests, having nothing else to do, went to the bookstore to buy some novels.

After all, their rooms didn’t have much in the way of entertainment facilities yet, and they couldn’t just sit in the cafeteria or hot pot restaurant watching TV all the time.

The novels in the bookstore weren’t expensive, with some thin ones costing only five points, though there were also more expensive ones that cost over a hundred points.

Soon, the task of selling a hundred books from the bookstore was completed.

“Ding! Congratulations, host. Task completed. Rewards: All rooms on the eighth floor unlocked; all rooms on the seventh floor upgraded once; all items in the supermarket unlocked; beauty and skincare store unlocked, unlimited beauty and skincare products unlocked; school and one teaching building unlocked, school playground unlocked.”

All the rooms on the eighth floor were now unlocked, and they were family rooms.

The previously unlocked seventh and sixth floors were all double rooms, and they were now fully occupied.

Not far from the hotel building, a school building silently appeared.

Like the hotel, it had ten floors.

Inside were classrooms, offices, laboratories, and so on.

In front of the school building, there was a spacious playground.

Of course, the inside of the school and the path from the hotel to the school were completely safe from zombies, natural disasters, and other dangers.
