Check-In
The passenger ship slowed down and gradually approached the island's port.
The so-called "Saiwei Resort Island" is larger than people expected.
On the beach not far away, some tourists were playing and having fun. At least from a distance, there seemed to be no problem. Everyone was enjoying themselves without any threats.
The island port where passenger ships dock has an asphalt road that extends into the island.
According to the island map viewed on the wristband, the resort islands can be divided along the midline.
The northern half of the area near the pier is a resort area developed by humans, covered with various buildings, asphalt roads, photovoltaic equipment and so on.
The southern half of the region, on the other side, is an undeveloped nature reserve.
Since the island is quite large, sightseeing vehicles are always moving on the asphalt road, and tourists can stop as long as they wave.
Stop the ship and dock.
A large island sightseeing bus was waiting below to pick everyone up and take them to the resort about five kilometers away.
During the journey, the tour guide began to explain the precautions via the public address system.
Welcome to [Saiwei Resort Island]!
This sightseeing bus will take you to the resort center, where you will check in at the Mercury Hotel.
The hotel will provide the specific arrangements for dining and entertainment. I will mainly focus on emphasizing a few points about the island.
1. To ensure the island's natural ecosystem is not completely destroyed, 60% of the island is designated as a nature reserve, located in the southern part. This reserve may harbor poisonous insects, swamps, and various unpredictable natural dangers. Do not venture into undeveloped forest areas out of curiosity, and pay attention to road signs.
2. If you see any rare wild animals in the resort area in the north of the island, please do not feed them or touch them. Instead, notify the nearest staff member, who will handle the situation.
3. If anyone claims to be a staff member of the resort and asks you to go somewhere or do anything, please call our company at any time to verify their identity. Although this island is not affected by corners or Pseudo-Human, occasionally some ill-intentioned passengers may appear.
These are the things to keep in mind. I hope everyone has a great week-long vacation.
Luo Di and his group of five sat in the last row of the sightseeing bus and had not noticed anything unusual since they boarded the boat.
As everyone listened to the guide's instructions, they instinctively began to suspect the so-called nature reserve, wondering if something was lurking inside.
The resort was reached quickly.
A modern hotel with 100 floors stands in the center, surrounded by a bustling Commercial Area, amusement parks, medical stations, and more.
The hotel also offers a wide range of services; basically anything you can think of, it has them.
At the very top of the hotel building hangs a sign that Luo Di is all too familiar with – the "Mercury".
Luo Di and his group went to the hotel reception to check in.
"For the five passengers who purchased regular tickets, the hotel will arrange one double room and one triple room for you, according to the travel agency's arrangements."
Hold on.
Are you Mr. D? This page indicates you are a Mercury member, which entitles you and your friends to a complimentary room upgrade.
Just as Luo Di was about to refuse the room upgrade and opt for the standard room arrangement,
Hua Yuan immediately spoke up, "Mr. Di is a member? Then we should definitely enjoy ourselves. Miss, what kind of room would you prefer for us? Do you have rooms for five people?"
"Yes, the suite on the top floor can accommodate up to six people. Shall we process your request now? Given your membership status, you can get a free upgrade."
"Manage!"
"Okay, the room upgrade service is complete. Your wristband will soon receive the specific room information and can automatically verify and open the door."
In addition, given your Mr. D membership, you can enjoy various services on the hotel's entertainment floor free of charge; this access has been granted to you.
Finally, please allow me to remind you.
The hotel prohibits any form of illegal activity and will deal with it seriously once discovered. Membership status has no effect on illegal matters.
Hua Yuan, who was originally standing outside the counter, suddenly peeked inside, almost pressing her entire face against the person opposite her. "Miss, you see, we're not the kind of people who would cause trouble."
However, since there were mostly women in our group, some people gave us unfriendly looks when we were on the bus.
Have you encountered any unusual or dangerous passengers recently? Letting us know in advance might help mitigate any potential risks.
The staff at the counter calmly replied, "Not at the moment. Everyone is very friendly. Perhaps a few individuals have a fierce look, but no one dares to do anything bad in the Mercury Hotel."
If you encounter harassment or face a greater threat outside the Hotel Area, please call us at any time. Hotel security will arrive as quickly as possible to handle the situation and will absolutely prioritize your personal safety.
"Okay."
Before leaving the counter, the five people took the high-speed elevator to the 101st floor where the suite was located.
When swiping the card to open the door,
The suite that appeared before me was beyond my imagination; it was a two-story structure with a three-meter-long bed on both the upper and lower levels.
It also features a sofa lounge area, a dressing room, two separate bathrooms, and a huge balcony with a 50-meter heated swimming pool where you can soak and enjoy the sea view.
Hua Yuan was immediately drawn to the sea-view balcony and swimming pool upon entering, and she was incredibly excited.
"Wow! I love this balcony, it's even bigger than my house! No wonder Mr. Di, who fights in underground boxing matches, has become a member of the Mercury Group. I really have to thank you this time."
Hua Yuan turned around, her fingers lightly tracing Luo Di's chest, her eyes filled with allure.
At this moment, the class monitor gave Hua Yuan a look. The intention of this look had nothing to do with Luo Di, but rather concerned the privacy of the team as a whole.
Hua Yuan immediately became serious as well, "Wait a moment, let Xiao Yan take a look at the situation of this room first."
The Sister Eye was already standing in the very center of the suite, having completed a 360° spin, before nodding in response. This indicated that there was nothing wrong with the suite, and that there were no unusual fluctuations or spy holes.
After receiving a reply from the Sister Eye,
The squad leader placed his right hand against the wall.
Buzz!
A subtle ripple spread along the walls of the suite, and the [Corner Space (Portable)] completely covered the suite.
It's not just about isolation; it also creates a Disguised Space.
If someone breaks into the suite from the outside, or uses various detection methods that can penetrate walls, they will get the feedback they want, but they will not be able to see the sisters' true situation.
Even Hua Yuan sensed a spatial superposition state; they were in an interlayer, both isolated from reality and able to return to it at any time.
"You've become so skilled at using Corner Space? Isabella, you're growing really fast. No wonder ' Corner Wanted Order ' chose you and threw away Aoi."
The squad leader responded with a smile, "I completed the final maternal reproduction, and the application of my abilities has undergone a qualitative change."
"Great! This way, at least everyone can speak freely in the suites without having to pretend to be ordinary people. Something's definitely off about this island; even the young lady at the front desk can talk back to me."
Although I did not use my abilities, it is difficult for ordinary people to maintain their own stance during conversations with me; they will always speak from my perspective.
Hey Xiaoyan, did the receptionist scan it just now?
"I've... checked everything on the way... no problem."
"Hiss~ It really is well hidden. No wonder it could even fool a corner. It's been a long time since I've encountered such a mysterious, unknown, and exciting event."
"When those human investigators were investigating us, did they feel the same way?"
Hua Yuan turned her gaze to Luo Di once again.
"More or less."
"This is so much fun! I've rarely felt any excitement since I became Pseudo-Human."
If I had met good classmates and been able to study and graduate in a good environment, perhaps I could have become an investigator and frequently experienced the thrill of these investigative projects.
What a pity!
"Let's go, everyone, go soak in the water on the balcony first, and then summarize the information and speculations we've gathered on our journey to the island."
