Chapter 100 What I want is your ability, not your life.
[Investigating all properties under the host's name.]
[Currently held property: Peace Hotel.]
Daily settlements are being processed based on the hotel's availability.
Your performance yesterday was adequate; you were taking steps to address the hotel's current difficulties. However, as an owner striving to create the perfect hotel, this is far from enough.
Based on your performance that day and the hotel's overall situation, you are awarded +212 hotel support points, +200 experience points, and +1 stamina point.
This time, the rewards for points and experience seem to have returned to the normal levels of the previous few days.
The extra stamina points turned out to be a pleasant surprise during this settlement.
Four Swift Shadow combat suits have also been completed.
Apart from the one paid to Yue Man as a special reward in the morning, Wang Xiao had other arrangements for the other three.
If these three Swift Shadow combat suits are used effectively, they will greatly influence the outcome of this joint operation.
After quickly glancing at the daily settlement summary, Wang Xiao turned his attention to the box on the table.
Inside are zombie crystals recently collected by the Qin Group.
It is said that there are quite a few.
With a hint of curiosity, Wang Xiao opened the box.
There were seven zombie crystals neatly arranged inside.
This number far exceeded Wang Xiao's expectations.
Just as Wang Xiao took one of the coins out of the box, a system notification appeared.
The task 'Sample Collection' has been completed.
Current progress: 10/10.
[Mission Rewards: Level 1 Biological Research Station Modification Permission Unlocked, Points +300, Potential Activation Potion*1 Issued.]
[Evaluation: A routine task.]
Wang Xiao slowly placed the zombie crystal down and began to examine the biological research and development platform.
[Level 1 Biological Research and Development Platform.]
[Effect Description: After use, the host can transform any room into a special biological research room. The transformed room will produce different effects by consuming points; users must verify these effects themselves.]
[Comment: Faced with increasingly serious crises and risks, the hotel always adheres to the principle of putting the safety of its guests first. Unlocking the biological research platform may provide a certain degree of security for the hotel.]
[Construction Cost]: 1000.
Seeing the system's pop-up notification, Wang Xiao had expected the system to be so demanding, but he didn't expect that modifying the room would cost him another 1000 points.
Wang Xiao is not able to gather this huge amount of points in a short period of time.
We can only make further arrangements after the daily points are settled in the following days.
[Potential Activating Potion (First Generation)]
[Description: A high-end product developed by a specialized biotechnology research company with immense effort and investment. Primarily serving certain specific clients, although it is an early-generation product, the overall technology is already quite mature.]
[Effect: After injection, the user's overall physical condition will be greatly improved. Within 24 hours, there is a high probability of becoming a gene enhancer, and a low probability of mastering some unpredictable special ability and becoming a power user.]
[Special Note: This potential drug is only effective after the first injection.]
[Usage Recommendation: Can be used in conjunction with other special potions with induction effects to increase the probability of acquiring abilities to some extent.]
Gene enhancers?
Looking at the introduction provided by the system, Wang Xiao fell into thought.
According to the description on the drug, those who do not possess a certain special ability are called gene enhancers.
Apart from himself, all the other ability users he has encountered so far have some kind of ability.
Although some people's abilities may seem rather useless, it is undeniable that these abilities almost always belong to only one person, and so far no one has been seen to possess the same ability.
After some effort, Wang Xiao began to consider who he should give the potion to after digesting the information provided by the potential activation potion.
Wei Yan?
Or Xue Wu?
Or someone else?
Given their contributions, these two are undoubtedly the best candidates among the current hotel staff.
One was the hotel manager, and the other was the head of the security force. No one else in the hotel could find fault with them, whether in terms of their positions or other aspects.
But Wang Xiao needs to think carefully about who to choose and when to use it.
After checking the hotel's current conditions, Wang Xiao washed up briefly and lay down on the bed.
While working at the hotel is important, Wang Xiao believes that getting enough rest is also essential.
Without enough rest, even the sharpest mind will eventually turn into a mess.
……
early morning.
Wang Xiao was woken from his sleep by the familiar alarm sound on his phone.
Six o'clock in the morning was the time he used to set for work.
Waking up at this time gives him enough time to wash up, even have breakfast, and then take a taxi to the airport, train station, or other places, or to meet with clients.
I thought I would never wake up at this time again, but in the end, due to the hotel's complicated affairs, I had to reset the time.
After a quick wash, Wang Xiao pushed open the door and went downstairs.
Since the elevator's power supply has not yet been upgraded, we have to take the stairs downstairs.
On his way downstairs, Wang Xiao bumped into Wei Yan, who was about to leave.
Seeing the other person's dark circles under his eyes, Wang Xiao knew that this guy had probably stayed up all night again.
As a capable assistant whom I have high hopes for, I can't afford to collapse from exhaustion during the early stages of my business.
Upon seeing Wang Xiao, Wei Yan asked in surprise, "Boss, what brings you here at this time?"
Wang Xiao put his arm around his shoulder and whispered, "Tell me honestly, how many all-nighters have you been pulling lately?"
Wei Yan chuckled and said, "No...not many."
"Um?"
"Just one!"
Wang Xiao looked at him calmly, his eyes undoubtedly conveying a message.
Do you think I believe you?
Who looks ten years older just from staying up all night?
Wang Xiao said expressionlessly, "Before you said that, shouldn't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Do you even have a trace of a human being?"
Startled by Wang Xiao's words, Wei Yan quickly took out his phone.
He was startled when he saw it.
His face was deathly pale, like that of someone who was seriously ill.
Wang Xiao patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "I can actually understand your current state."
After all, no matter what, entrusting such an important position as hotel manager to you is still too much pressure for a college student who hasn't even graduated yet.
Wei Yan quickly replied, "No, no, I just wanted to help you, brother..."
Wang Xiao didn't give him a chance to speak, interrupting him, "Don't speak, listen to me."
The hotel job is certainly important, but there's no need for you to work yourself to the bone like this just to prove to me that I didn't misjudge you.
What I want is your ability, not your life.
Think about it carefully. In this state, can you really accomplish what I've asked you to do?
As he spoke, Wang Xiao flipped through the documents Wei Yan had just given him. After looking at them for a while, he said, "There are several errors in the meeting documents you gave me. These are mistakes you wouldn't have made before."
Don't forget, I've also worked overtime and stayed up all night.
Tell me honestly, how long has it been since you had a proper rest?
Exposed by Wang Xiao, Wei Yan said with some shame, "It started from the release of Night Abyss Dream..."
Goodness, this guy's ruthless!
No wonder people say that each generation is more ambitious than the last.
Dude, you were the king of exams in school, but this is the apocalypse, and you still want to be the king of exams?!
Wang Xiao would not allow this kind of behavior to flourish in the hotel.
Wang Xiao closed the file and handed it back to Wei Yan, saying, "Now, right now, get to sleep. I'll have someone wake you up at 10 a.m.
"The funeral of the search team members..."
"You're not the only one in the hotel. Also, from today onwards, you're not allowed to touch Night Abyss Dream again, understand?"
Seeing Wang Xiao's resolute attitude, Wei Yan could only nod obediently and say, "Yes."
Watching Wei Yan walk towards the room, Wang Xiao shook his head helplessly.
Young people these days are too crazy, it's terrifying!
Fortunately, this kid is still an ordinary person. If he were to become an ability user, he might become the next Qin Huai'an...
[Given the hotel staff's fiercely competitive work ethic, as the hotel owner, you cannot tolerate such malicious competition within the hotel.]
Congratulations! You have successfully stopped this trend from spreading in the hotel! You have earned 20 hotel support points.
