Chapter 30 The Flourishing Peace Hotel
Chapter 30 The Flourishing Peace Hotel
Yang Hua pleaded, his expression agitated, "Please spare me! I beg you! I know I was wrong."
Wang Xiao asked curiously, "What's your reason for asking me to spare your life?"
Yang Hua immediately replied, "I...I'm willing to risk my life for you! I'm very good at fighting! I'm willing to be your dog."
Wang Xiao shook his head and refused, saying, "Fight for me? The problem is, I don't lack people who would fight for me. Very good at fighting? Are you really sure you are? As for being a dog, sorry, I don't keep pets."
Faced with Wang Xiao's relentless questioning, Yang Hua was speechless for a moment: "I..."
Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Here's some advice for you. First, you need to find your own strengths. It's like when you're selling shady loans to clients; you need to have your own unique selling points, like double the interest if you don't pay within three days, understand?"
"feature……"
Yang Hua's brain started working at lightning speed, and finally, as if he had just thought of something, he blurted out, "I have superpowers."
Upon hearing this, Xue Wu, who was standing to the side, showed confusion and a hint of shock in his eyes.
Wang Xiao remained calm, a smile still on his face.
Seeing that Wang Xiao showed no surprise, Yang Hua stammered in shock, "You...you..."
Wang Xiao raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder, slowly saying, "Take a deep breath. It's normal to feel dizzy. You're not the only unique person in this world, and you're not the first ability user I've ever met, so the highlights you mentioned are really hard for me to be attracted to."
If you are truly unable to provide value that satisfies me, then I'm sorry, I have no choice but to stop you here.
Yang Hua shook his head desperately, saying, "No, no, I don't want to stop, I don't want to stop!"
Wang Xiao continued, "Yang Hua, sometimes the road you take isn't something you can just walk or stop on as you please."
When you choose to take over my hotel and my people, your life has come to an end.
But before that, I can give you two more options.
Upon hearing that he was doomed, Yang Hua's face remained numb.
"My first choice is to answer a few questions for me, and I can make your journey less painful."
The second option is to remain silent, but what will happen to you next is not something I can control. You may experience the same fate as the people you killed.
After all, I have a witness here who can perfectly replicate all your previous actions, making your final journey less than comfortable.
Recalling the methods he had used on those people before, and the expressions on their faces as they died, Yang Hua completely panicked...
Yang Hua looked at Wang Xiao in despair, trembling as he asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Wang Xiao said with satisfaction, "It seems you made a wise choice. First question: did you experience any physical discomfort before gaining your abilities?"
Yang Hua exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that you?!"
"It's a fever, right?"
"Yes……"
Seeing that Wang Xiao was able to accurately describe the circumstances under which he gained his abilities, Yang Hua completely gave up hope.
Faced with Wang Xiao, he couldn't even delay his death by fabricating lies.
"My second question is, how long were you unconscious?"
……
After Wang Xiao used words and pressure to break down Yang Hua's last psychological defenses and she completely lost hope, she stopped resisting.
She was like a puppet, mechanically answering all of Wang Xiao's questions.
Wang Xiao took this opportunity to confirm Yue Man's statement.
Wang Xiao asked, "One last question: do you remember how many people you killed?"
Yang Hua's eyes were vacant as he said, "14? Or 17? I can't remember..."
Upon hearing Yang Hua's reply, Xue Wu's expression changed drastically.
The apocalypse has only been going on for a few days, and this beast has already killed so many people!
Xue Wu shouted sternly, "Aren't you afraid of retribution?!"
Yang Hua lowered his head, then burst into wild laughter: "Retribution, hehe, hahaha! If they have the guts, come back to life and kill me! Come and kill me! Hahaha!"
Xue Wu's anger surged to his head, and he was about to take action when Wang Xiao stopped him.
Wang Xiao said, "To deal with someone like him who takes pleasure in killing, the more you give him what he wants to see, the more excited he will become. Blindfold him with a cloth and gag him. Let Li Shu come."
Xue Wu nodded and said, "Yes."
After saying that, Wang Xiao walked outside.
Upon hearing Li Shu's name, Yang Hua shouted, "You said you'd give me a quick death!"
Wang Xiao said without turning his head, "But I didn't say when I would give it to you. Enjoy it, just like you dealt with those people. I hope you can hold on until the time comes for me to give you a good time."
Upon receiving the message, Li Shu rushed over.
Upon seeing Wang Xiao standing in front of the door, Li Shu was about to say something when Wang Xiao interrupted him, saying, "Don't let a guy who has given up on being human have an easy time on his final journey. Also, be careful not to kill him; it's not worth it. Let the guys outside handle the dirty hands."
Li Shu immediately understood Wang Xiao's meaning and nodded, saying, "I won't let you down, boss."
Your methods have been unanimously recognized by the hotel staff, who are intimidated by them and have strengthened their loyalty to you and the hotel.
[Bonus rewards: +5 experience points, +5 points.]
Looking at the system notification, Wang Xiao said softly, "Yang Hua, you still managed to compensate me with 5 points before you died. You still have some use in the end."
After dealing with Yang Hua, Wang Xiao called Lu Ran and Xue Wu over.
The two men bowed simultaneously and said, "Boss."
Wang Xiao nodded in response and said, "I have a task for you. Go to the street and tow back a few cars, then remove all the steel from their bodies. I need it urgently."
"Okay, boss."
Although the two did not know what Wang Xiao was going to do, they had become somewhat accustomed to his ways.
After assigning the task of collecting steel, Wang Xiao returned to his guest room on the third floor alone.
Looking out the window at the city in ruins, Wang Xiao frowned.
He knew very well that as time went on and urban resources gradually decreased, there would only be more and more people like Yang Hua.
Yang Hua was the first person he had ever met who had completely abandoned his moral principles, but he would certainly not be the last.
If the Peace Hotel wants to survive in this situation, it must have more and stronger power.
People with special abilities like Yue Man are potential targets he wants to win over.
He might not be able to recruit them, but as long as they could link their interests with the hotel's... that would be a form of indirect strengthening for the hotel.
In addition to recruiting ability users, the priority of weapons research and development must also be raised.
Ultimately, only a minority of people possess superpowers; the majority are just ordinary people.
Ordinary people can fight back against ordinary zombies, but what about mutated zombies?
He needs more powerful equipment to support the hotel's operation.
How to trigger the system's rewards through more actions and quickly accumulate points has now become a question that Wang Xiao needs to think about.
The next day.
When Wang Xiao arrived at the lobby, he found that the entrance was already piled high with various steel materials dismantled from cars.
Wang Xiao quickly estimated that this quantity was more than enough for the repair and upgrade of the gate.
Just as Wang Xiao was about to praise Xue Wu and his companion for their efforts, he couldn't find them in the lobby.
At this moment, Zhao Yajun came out from the cafeteria carrying a plate of food.
Upon seeing Wang Xiao, Zhao Yajun quickly said, "Boss, don't misunderstand. Didn't you ask them to collect steel?"
Seeing that you seemed quite anxious, Xue Wu grabbed Lu Ran, Wei Yan, and Li Shu and had sex with them all night.
I saw they were all exhausted, so I let them go upstairs to rest and I'd call them if anything happened.
Seeing that Xue Wu, being so stubborn, had even hired Wei Yan, his external brain, to do the work, Wang Xiao was speechless.
Old Xue, I know you have a heart for work, and that's not a mistake, it's a good thing.
But if you bring Wei Yan here to do this job, who will write the other guys' proposals?
If I can't submit a proposal, how am I supposed to get something out of the system?
Answer me, Lao Xue!
Just as Wang Xiao was feeling both amused and exasperated, Zhao Yajun took out a document and handed it to him.
Zhao Yajun said, "Boss, this is what you asked Wei Yan to prepare. He already has a preliminary plan, and this is what we revised together. Please take a look."
Taking the document, Wang Xiao looked at its very formal layout and asked, "Did you work in a company before?"
Zhao Yajun replied, "Yes, I got pregnant, so I temporarily switched to an easier job. I never expected this to happen... Is there anything else you need to add?"
After a quick glance, Wang Xiao said, "Thank you for your hard work, Wei Yan. You can go and rest now. I'll watch the front desk today. Let me know when Xue Wu and the others wake up."
Zhao Yajun replied, "Thank you, boss."
After Zhao Yajun left, Wang Xiao looked at the documents in his hand and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
With such a group of people helping him, his Peace Hotel is thriving!
