Leomund's Hotel Chain

Jiang Yuanchi and Lina got along very well.

Thanks to this, Xu Nan also slept soundly through the night.

The next morning, he went out feeling refreshed. After greeting the Salted Fish Three Brothers who were up early and working hard, Li Jingran volunteered to accompany Xu Nan to meet the temporary person in charge of the Safe Zone.

As the two walked through the tent area, they saw a bunch of tents lying haphazardly on the ground, and a group of men and women who looked like they hadn't woken up yet, yawning wildly. They couldn't help but show their disdain.

"Young people these days have such a chaotic behavior."

"Yeah, what if we need to fight if we don't sleep well at night?"

"They all have dark circles under their eyes. The monsters are coming. Are they trying to get away by pretending to be pandas?"

The two groups discussed and offered in-depth criticism of the morale of the people at the West City Training Camp.

The poor students from the west side of the city looked sorrowful, but since they were all proud, not one of them spoke up.

Xu Nan and Li Jingran walked through the tent area.

They found Yu Simiao at the entrance to the Safe Zone.

Yesterday they learned that there were only four official members in the entire Safe Zone. Two of them were responsible for going out to investigate the specific reasons for the large-scale appearance of Cultists, while the other was responsible for the specific security work of the camp.

In terms of management, everything was handled by Elder Sister Yu.

Yu Simiao also looked to be in very poor spirits. When Xu Nan asked her questions, she could only frown and explain:

"We haven't determined the Cultists' objectives yet, so we can't act rashly. After all, most of the Training Camp members have very little combat experience, and we can't risk your lives."

"The simple defensive fortifications are complete. You just need to stay put and not cause any trouble, that's all you need to do."

Xu Nan readily agreed, "No problem."

Li Jingran: "?? Why do I have a bad feeling?"

Xu Nan glanced at him:

"Isn't it normal for melee classes to be responsible for patrolling and keeping watch at night?"

Li Jingran: "Big brother is right."

Xu Nan was surprised to find that this guy had stopped contributing 666 points to him.

It seems that yesterday's terrible experience has taught these three melee fighters to accept their fate.

Xu Nan felt a little gratified that the three children had finally grown up; but he also felt a little heartbroken, as he had originally thought that the Salted Fish Three Brothers were his perpetual motion machine for Activity Points.

After saying goodbye to Yu Simiao, Xu Nan happened to run into Zheng Xie, who had returned from who-knows-where.

This guy was riding a rotting wolf on his backside and carrying another one in his hand. He was covered in blood, so he probably paid a heavy price to catch those rotting wolves.

This person was stopped when he tried to enter the Safe Zone.

Many trainees from the West City Training Camp gathered around, looking at him with complicated expressions.

Xu Nan's heart stirred, and she moved closer.

The person in charge of security was a full member of the Thousand Rays Society, a middle-aged man with a thick beard, whose profession seemed to be a druid.

"Stop! Prove your identity first."

"Also, this is a temporary Safe Zone set up by the Thousand Rays Society to protect the trainees in the Training Camp. Monsters are not allowed to be brought in."

The full beard gave him a dignified air.

Zheng Xie thought for a moment, "These aren't monsters, they're two Kangaroo. If you don't believe me, I'll have them jump one over there for you to see."

With that, amidst the gasps of the crowd, he nimbly and swiftly flipped himself to the ground.

The two wolves immediately became incredibly obedient and hopped around twice on the spot, looking remarkably like Kangaroo!

The corner of the bearded man's mouth twitched:

"... Who are you trying to fool?"

Have you ever seen Kangaroo without a pouch?

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Zheng Xie pondered for a moment, then took out a ballpoint pen from his pocket and drew a pocket on the chest of each of the two rotting wolves. The two rotting wolves remained motionless, cooperating perfectly.

Even the most skilled animal trainer would have to give a thumbs up here.

"I've got the money." Zheng Xie said seriously.

The bearded man laughed angrily, "Are you kidding me?"

"If we bring these two rotten wolves into the Safe Zone and something happens, and they injure someone, who will be responsible?"

Zheng Xie: "I'll take responsibility. They absolutely won't hurt anyone. Right?"

The two rotting wolves kept nodding and bowing, making one wonder if they were cosplaying as Kangaroo rather than kangaroos.

The bearded man frowned, suspecting he'd encountered someone deliberately trying to cause trouble. He grabbed Zheng Xie, only to find he'd pulled at empty air, much to his surprise.

"Which Training Camp are you from? What's your identification?"

Zheng Xie sighed, "I lost that notebook. I just fought with a python, and it got too intense, so I lost it."

"But everyone here can testify for me."

He pointed to the people at the West City Training Camp.

The bearded man looked at the trainees suspiciously. "Does any of you know this person?"

The crowd fell silent.

Zheng Xie looked surprised and bewildered.

Just then, a clear voice rang out:

"I know him. He's my friend."

"If you think these two Kangaroo might hurt someone, I'll get you two thick enough collars and chains, they'll be securely fastened and won't hurt anyone."

Xu Nan appeared with a grin to smooth things over.

He realized that Zheng Xie was a bit too straightforward. Strictly speaking, he and Jiang Yuanchi were the same type of person, often living only in their own world and having very little interaction with the outside world.

Overly genuine, overly powerful... such people are easily seen as monsters by ordinary people.

Xu Nan was naturally shocked by his strength, but Xu Nan himself was no ordinary person either!

In fact, none of the people around him are ordinary, so having Zheng Xie one more doesn't matter.

The druid uncle glanced at Xu Nan: "It's you? That house in front of the cave is yours?"

Xu Nan counted the change.

"What kind of collar and chain could restrain Three-Legged Rot Wolf?" the bearded man remained skeptical.

Whoosh!

With lightning speed, Xu Nan pulled out a sturdy collar and a thumb-thick iron chain. "I have a lot more like these."

Everyone was astonished.

Why does this guy carry something like that around with him all the time?!

"Tie these two monsters up. If anything happens, I'll come looking for you first." The druid uncle finally let them go.

Zheng Xie scratched his head and looked at the trainees at the West City Training Camp. They didn't dare to look Zheng Xie in the eye and quickly whispered among themselves as they walked away.

However, when they whispered, they always used words like "monster," "executioner," and "lunatic."

Xu Nan led Zheng Xie toward Leomund's Hut.

"Not bad." Xu Nan patted the head of the rotting wolf. It was actually quite docile, like a big wolfhound.

"Why did those people at the school lie to me when they clearly knew me?"

Zheng Xie suddenly became conflicted.

Xu Nan thought for a moment, "Did you do anything shocking or outrageous at the West City Training Camp?"

Zheng Xie frowned and said, "I only killed a few people."

"Murder?" Xu Nan realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Yes, there was a professional criminal gang that sneaked into the Training Camp. They not only set fire to the camp, but also kidnapped two girls with the intention of molesting them. When the trainees surrounded them, they ended up taking several female trainees hostage instead."

"Someone called me over to help, and I went without thinking. Then I casually killed them all, saving the female students. But many people thought I was a monster..."

Zheng Xie was somewhat puzzled. "According to the formula of movies, shouldn't I be the hero?"

Xu Nan remained silent.

This topic is too heavy. Reality is not like a movie. Murder challenges the bottom line of people who are used to the rules of modern civilization. Even saving a life may not be acceptable to everyone.

"It's okay. They just don't understand you yet. As long as you know in your heart why you killed them, that's fine."

Xu Nan began to patiently guide and persuade, taking on the role of a psychologist.

"Just ask yourself, would you kill people to save those female students?"

Zheng Xie thought for a moment, "No, that's not it."

Xu Nan was startled. "Huh?"

"I killed people for Slaughter Points."

Zheng Xie said in a very serious tone.

Xu Nan looked troubled, but to everyone's surprise, the latter's lips twitched a few times:

"Just a joke."

Nothing much happened that day. In the evening, Xu Nan rebuilt Leomund's Hut, which attracted everyone's attention.

The Salted Fish Three Brothers are pitiful; they're on night patrol duty tonight and won't get to sleep in a soft bed.

Senior Jiang is so engrossed in taking care of the baby that she can't extricate herself, while Xu Nan can only play cards in the room with Zheng Xie and Fairy Dragon Mud Loach.

After playing a few rounds of cards, Xu Nan was once again driven to despair by the opponent's stupidity and decided to go out for some fresh air.

Once outside, he was astonished to discover that, because of Leomund's Tiny Hut, the tent area was now right in the middle of a draft!

Looking at the men and women with mournful faces, Xu Nan suddenly had an idea.

He snapped his fingers, and the next second, a flashing sign appeared Leomund's Hut!

Leomund Hotels!

"Welcome to our new store!"

"There are still six rooms available!"

"This shop does not accept cash, only information, supplies, and items from the Pro World... If it's a magical item, you can even get a membership to a chain hotel so you won't have to worry about not having a place to stay. Wherever I go, you can stay!"

At Xu Nan's shout, the people in the tent area of West City Training Camp immediately became excited!

Many people rushed over. There was no other way; who would want to be exposed to the mountain winds if they could stay indoors?

All six rooms were sold out immediately!

Most people use alchemical materials as payment, which are of little use to them, but Xu Nan was overjoyed as he looked at the rare alchemical materials he had received.

Later, a large number of people surrounded Leomund's chain hotels.

In order to benefit the people, Xu Nan had to open up his garage, toilet, and even the balcony of his master bedroom to meet the housing needs of the people.

Finally, an older woman led a pale-faced girl through the crowd.

"This is all we have..."

A pale hand was outstretched, revealing a gold pocket watch that looked quite old.

Xu Nan looked at the girl and accepted the pocket watch:

"Welcome, you two are our hotel's last guests tonight."

"The children look very tired, don't they? How about this, I'll reluctantly let you sleep in my master bedroom..."

The two girls looked pleasantly surprised and were about to express their gratitude when Xu Nan continued speaking.

"... the closet, I suppose."
