Chapter 1436 - 1431 Regulations Ready to Implement
Chapter 1436: Chapter 1431 Regulations Ready to ImplementWatching the standard professional smile of the front desk lady, Tang Ye recalled the cold demeanor of other hotel front desk staffs. This contrast made him feel both familiar and foreign; he had not interacted much with hotels, and even before the Apocalypse, his visits to hotels were few and far between. He always adhered to the principle of not indulging in high expenditure when money was tight.
Indeed, hotels were quite different from ordinary inns.
Hearing Tang Ye’s words, the front desk lady’s smile brightened a bit and said, "Alright, sir, please wait a moment."
Tang Ye nodded and waited patiently. Soon, the front desk lady received a room card from her colleague, handed it over to Tang Ye, and said, "Sir, the charge for a deluxe single room is one hundred sixty per night, please pay here."
As soon as she finished speaking, she added, "Oh, by the way, long-term lodging for one month is only two thousand eight hundred, sir, are you interested?"
Tang Ye thought for a moment and pulled out all the cash from his pocket. Naturally, he had chosen the largest denomination when taking out the money, but he had not counted how many notes it was. However, such a thick stack would have been more than enough for him even before the Apocalypse.
"I only have this much. Count it and see if it’s enough for a month."
His action stunned many bystanders, not because they were shocked by the wealth Tang Ye displayed, but because pulling out such a stack of cash to pay felt strangely out of place in these times.
Tang Ye was aware of digital payments like WeChat Pay and Zhifubao, but those apps had failed with the onset of the Apocalypse, and although new apps replaced them in the later stage of the Apocalypse, the currency used was no longer Dream Entering Yuan, but Yajin.
The front desk lady, too, was taken aback by this scene, but she quickly recovered, counted the cash handed over by Tang Ye, saw it was enough, and returned the excess money to Tang Ye.
"Sir, it’s enough. Would you like to proceed now?"
"Yes," Tang Ye nodded, and soon heard the front desk lady say, "Sir, your room will expire on the ninth of next month, you can check in now. Your room is number seven on the third floor, and we offer a dedicated meal delivery service. If needed, please use the room telephone to dial four ones during reasonable hours."
"Okay."
Tang Ye nodded again and was about to head toward the elevator, but soon, he halted. Wait, something the front desk lady said was a bit eerie, wasn’t it?
"Reasonable hours? What times are unreasonable, and could something happen then?"
He repeated to himself, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a nearby wall panel, instantly drawing all his attention.
"Is this the notice that guy mentioned? You didn’t tell me it was only in the inn, did you?"
He pushed through the crowd to get closer to the panel, and all its contents came into view.
[This area is under the jurisdiction of Xi River city Longyuhua Management Area, and the following rules apply throughout the Longyuhua Management Area.]
[Rules are as follows:]
[One: This area prohibits wandering after 21:10. Please turn off lights and go to bed before this time.]
[Two: Every room’s bed is placed facing the east window; when sleeping, ensure your head is oriented eastward and avoid sleeping in reverse position.]
[Three: Do not cover your head with pillows and blankets during the prohibited hours.]
[Four: The hotel walls do not have good soundproofing; if you hear any strange noises, do not take them seriously, ignore them, and do not attempt to discern the content of the sounds.]
[Five: After the curfew, close your eyes promptly; regardless of whether you can fall asleep, do not open your eyes to look around.]
[Six: After the curfew, if you have an urgent need to use the bathroom, find the toilet with your eyes closed; toilets in this hotel are located on the left side as you enter each room. Besides this, do not trust nor enter any unrecognized doors—remember! Always keep your eyes closed when
[Nineteen: This is a normal world!!!]
[Twenty: This is the last rule, and the most important one, wherever you are, if you encounter school violence, as a third party, please immediately kill the perpetrator!]
"Church?" Tang Ye meticulously read through these operational rules, and each one clearly indicated that this world was far from normal. Yet bizarrely, rule nineteen still proclaimed this was a normal world? Followed by three exclamation marks? Was there a need for such emphasis?
But on second thoughts, rule nine about the church—he had encountered it, and some old men had run inside. Earlier, he had thought nothing of it, but now thinking back, that church exuded strangeness everywhere, and then those nuns shaking their heads at him, Tang Ye was starting to wonder whether those old men and the nuns in that church were even human.
