Young Man, You Have No Martial Virtue

"[Noah's Ark], this is a topic that our Royal Research Group has been studying for a long time."

Clutching the black Rabbit Doll in her arms, Qingyi climbed onto the chair next to her with some difficulty.

"If Noah's Ark could take other people with it, it would actually be a way to preserve the last civilization of the world. But unfortunately, it can only carry one person at a time."

"Still saying it's not Sora..."

Perhaps because he had experienced so much, Fang Yao quickly adjusted his mood. After seeing the White-haired loli's actions, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"That's right, this hotel... [Noah's Ark] only has me as an Employee. After each journey through worlds, I can't take anyone with me. That's the rule."

"You said before that this is the third world you've experienced, right? What was the previous world like?"

Bai Zhi tapped the table with [Radiance] and asked the other party a question.

"The previous world, you just said it was an ancient Cultivation World? Was there also an invasion of Anomaly in that world?"

"That's right, but in that world, the practitioners there call these suddenly appearing Anomaly the bizarre or demonic."

After glancing at the gun in the other person's hand, Fang Yao gave an honest answer.

"In the previous world, this hotel was converted into an inn. I stayed in the previous world for a total of one year, and I only just transmigrated to this world two days ago."

"What was the situation like in the last world?"

Bai Zhi seemed quite curious.

"If it's an ancient Cultivation World, then there should be Cultivator in that world, with Daoist techniques and spells that should be able to effectively combat those strange beings, right?"

"Well... it was a little better at first, but by the time I left that world, it had basically deteriorated completely."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yao replied.

"In that world, it's not uncommon for an entire cultivation sect to be wiped out by a monster. Now, the entire atmosphere of that Cultivation World has completely changed. Demons and Monsters roam freely, and in order to survive, Cultivator have become neither human nor ghost, creating a truly terrifying cultivation world... They call it 'Eldritch Immortal Cultivation.'"

"Okay, I think I understand now. I'd like to ask, what's the deal with your hotel locking people up? What happened to the other people who were originally in the hotel?"

Bai Zhi reached out and gently pressed his forehead.

"Shouldn't you be the ones asking this?"

Fang Yao pursed his lips, looking somewhat speechless.

"I'm just a lowly Employee, and I don't know much. But I've heard that there's danger outside the hotel, so [Noah's Ark] automatically protected those who entered."

"Protect?"

Seemingly not expecting to hear such a word, Bai Zhi couldn't help but appear slightly surprised.

"Yes, it's safe inside the hotel. No Anomaly can infiltrate this hotel. Back in the last world, my inn was also used as a refuge, okay?"

As he said this, Fang Yao glanced at the White-haired loli standing to the side.

"To be honest, I might not know as much as she does..."

"Anyone can come in?"

"At least in the residential area upstairs, Anomaly can't get in. If common want to stay at this hotel, they just need to register with me and pay a small price."

Fang Yao pointed to the top of his head.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Since we've taken the money, the hotel naturally has an obligation to ensure the absolute safety of its Resident... It's not like I wanted to lock them upstairs."

What will be the price to pay?

Having basically figured out what Xia Wen and the others had encountered from m. hetushu. com, Bai Zhi nodded slightly.

"I'll pay, but the accepted amounts are a little different at the hotel..."

As he spoke, Fang Yao reached into the drawer, took out two gray coins, and placed them on the counter.

"Here, this is the price. Ten yuan is enough to stay in this hotel for a day."

"Gray Coin?"

Looking at the seemingly familiar gray coin that Fang Yao had taken out, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown deeply.

He had seen these coins in the previous amusement park Dungeon; the amusement park itself operated to obtain this currency from Tourist.

After clearing the amusement park Dungeon, he had quite a few of those Gray Coin in his Inventory.

"Gray Coin? No, this is called [Origin Coin]."

Fang Yao glanced at Bai Zhi with a slightly puzzled look, then quickly put the two coins away.

"Everyone possesses [Origin Coin] to varying degrees. The increase or decrease of this currency has no impact on humans, but it is a vital energy source for maintaining the operation of this hotel."

"Does everyone possess this [Origin Coin]?"

Looking at Fang Yao in front of him, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's right. Not only humans have it, but Anomaly also have it. As long as there is Life, they all possess this. The Unique difference is the amount they have."

Fang Yao looked completely at ease.

"This currency is not visible; it can only be revealed through some Special means. On average, each common possesses about a thousand [Origin Coin]... Oh, right, I know what you're trying to say: each person can only stay in my hotel for Seven Days, so we only earn 70 coins."

Do you have any equipment here that can detect [Origin Coin]?

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi asked the other person.

"If possible, could you please help us with the testing?"

"Yes, there is, but it's not very specific; it only shows a certain range... Wait a minute, let me look for it."

Perhaps because he had finally learned the real name of the hotel that had kidnapped him like a thug, Fang Yao seemed quite enthusiastic about Bai Zhi's request. In no time, he pulled out something that looked like an instrument panel from a drawer.

"Look, it's very easy to use. Just place your hand on it. Over 1,000 is green, over 10,000 is yellow, and over 100,000 is red. It's a very light application..."

Before Fang Yao could finish his sentence, the White-haired loli curiously placed her hand on the watch face, and instantly, a dazzling red light lit up on the dial.

Fang Yao: "..."

This kind of equipment can actually be considered a confidential Item of this hotel... or rather, this [Noah's Ark], and he has rarely taken it out before.

Generally speaking, common are mostly light green, while powerful Cultivator can reach a light yellow color. In the previous world he experienced, the number one cultivator, a powerful Big Shot had reached the Tribulation Stage, was only light red.

And now, this White-haired loli in front of me has so easily broken the opponent's record...

Just as Fang Yao was dumbfounded, something even more astonishing happened before his eyes.

As if they were arguing about something, the black Rabbit held in the arms of the White-haired loli in front of it also curiously raised its paw and placed its hand on the instrument.

Then, immediately afterward, a fiery red light, ten times brighter than before, suddenly shone on the instrument, almost blinding him...

"Ding-dong."

With a crisp sound, two pale gold cards appeared out of thin air and landed in front of Qingyi and Anna respectively.

"... VIP Card? Interesting."

After glancing at the card on the table with great interest, Bai Zhi also placed his hand on the instrument.

And then? And then there was nothing more.

... because the device Explosion immediately after Bai Zhi placed his hand on it.

Fortunately Bai Zhi reacted quickly. Realizing something was wrong, he pulled Qingyi down to hide, thus avoiding being affected by the Explosion.

A moment later, when he looked up again, he saw Fang Yao, sporting an Explosion, standing there dumbfounded behind the counter.

Seeing him look over, the other person blankly shifted their gaze, then slowly opened their mouth and exhaled a few puffs of smoke...

Bai Zhi: "..."
