Chapter 3 The First Batch of Guests
"Oh no! What do we do?! We're almost out of fuel!"
Shi Bai is a student at the private university in Jiken.
It was during the holiday, so he invited some friends from his club to take a spontaneous trip.
Several college students rented a large car, set up automatic navigation to their destination, and then holed up in the lounge playing games.
But just now the car suddenly sounded an alarm, and when the group went to check the driver's seat, they discovered that the car was almost out of gas.
It was in the middle of nowhere, far from any village or shop.
Once they run out of fuel, they'll be stuck here.
"That shouldn't be the case. I checked the fuel before we set off. It shouldn't be used up so quickly!"
Shan Shan was a little anxious. She was responsible for checking the fuel before departure, and if any problems arose, it would be her fault.
"Now is not the time to talk about this; we need to find a place to refuel."
Shi Bai's expression was serious. He quickly scrolled through his phone, searching for the nearest gas station.
"Forget it, we're in the middle of nowhere, where are we going to find a gas station?" Shi Erzhe was extremely anxious.
The bus fell silent for a moment as everyone racked their brains for a solution.
"I've got it! There seems to be a resort not far from here. Anyway, it's better to stop at the resort than to break down here!"
Tang Jiang kept searching through his phone when suddenly his eyes lit up.
"But are those remote resorts really safe?"
Ding Ning retorted.
Shi Bai frowned deeply.
This is a problem.
It's hard to say which is more dangerous: waiting for rescue on the street or heading to a resort with no information about it.
"How should we put it, a show of hands?" Tang Jiang asked.
“We might not need to raise our hands to vote anymore.” Ding Ning looked up with a hint of despair. “Although that resort may not be safe, it seems we have no other choice.”
She stood beside the shelf.
"Shi Bai, we don't have enough food."
"How is this possible!" Shi Erzhe ran to the shelf, examined it carefully, and exclaimed, "I definitely bought so much food before I left!"
The current amount of nutrient solution is enough for one more day.
The shelves that were full of nutrient solution have disappeared without me noticing.
"I've already notified the rescue team," Shan Shanshan said with difficulty. "The rescue team said that there have been many accidents recently, and they can't spare any manpower. They expect it will take at least three days to arrive."
"When it rains, it pours!" Shi Erzhe wailed.
Among the group, Shi Bai remained relatively calm.
He stared at the screen in front of him: "Let's go, let's go to the resort."
……
At the resort.
Feng Shuyuan, who had mastered the extraordinary skill of grilling squid, was leisurely picking his teeth.
For those seven days, she did nothing but eat and sleep, as if nothing could worry her.
The system couldn't hold back any longer.
Why aren't you in a hurry?! It's been a week! So long! And there haven't been any customers!
The system was frantically writing exclamation marks in her mind.
"Like Jiang Taigong fishing, since we're here, let's make the best of it," Feng Shuyuan said leisurely.
Although I'm not well-educated, I know that's not how that statement should be made!
"Oh, you little system, you dare to say you're uncultured?"
Feng Shuyuan was delighted.
"Don't be in such a hurry. This place is in the middle of nowhere, so it's up to the willing to take the bait."
No! I need to finish the task quickly!
Wow, I didn't expect this little system to be so impatient.
Feng Shuyuan raised an eyebrow.
She hasn't been doing nothing these past few days.
For a resort like this, which is "in its early stages," going from 0 to 1 is the most difficult step.
During this period, she uploaded videos of herself making grilled squid to many websites, but with little success.
With the system's help, she can bypass internet censorship.
But this still failed to convince netizens to come.
"Fishing, fishing, fishing for mandarin fish!"
Some netizens mocked the video in the comments section.
After all, in this day and age, AI is so advanced that image and video synthesis are a piece of cake.
Everyone is afraid of being scammed.
Even those who were interested backed out after seeing the remote location.
We still need something more decisive to attract them.
Feng Shuyuan sighed.
She did know of a live-streaming robot that could transmit the sense of smell, since at this stage, the sense of smell cannot be faked.
But she didn't have the money to buy it.
Ms. Feng, who was short of money, had been eating grilled squid for seven days in a row.
But I have to say, my cooking skills are really good. I've been eating it for so long and I'm still not tired of it at all.
Give yourself a little pat on the back.
While Feng Shuyuan was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the system say proudly.
[Resolved!]
Five tourists are about to arrive. Please prepare to welcome them.
"??What?"
Faced with the system's erratic response, even she, usually so easygoing, experienced a momentary mental freeze.
"Why are people here all of a sudden?"
"Then don't worry about it, I have my own way of doing it."
After saying that, the system happily disappeared again.
Sure enough, a short while later, Feng Shuyuan heard a sound coming from the parking lot.
After throwing the skewer into the trash can, Feng Shuyuan went to the parking lot to pick up the person.
She was really curious about how the system had found these five tourists for her.
