"Work hours? You need to gather in the storeroom every morning at 8 a.m., and you finish at 8 p.m.," Manager Wang glanced at Mu Rufeng as he spoke.
Having said that, Manager Wang immediately left.
"Um, are we going to take the elevator?" Liu Yong asked.
"Of course, otherwise why would the Abnormality bring us to the elevator entrance?" Sun Hu said, and immediately pressed the elevator button.
Mu Rufeng and Wang Ziqi didn't say anything.
When the elevator opened, the four of them walked in.
Mu Rufeng and Liu Yong were in charge of the guest room service on the fourth floor, so they got off the elevator there.
Wang Ziqi and Sun Hu proceeded to the fifth floor.
"Brother...what should we do?" Liu Yong looked at the gloomy hallway, his heart trembling a bit.
"Don't worry too much, be brave and act accordingly," Mu Rufeng patted Liu Yong's shoulder and said.
Then, Mu Rufeng walked boldly forward.
This Blood Chamber Hotel seemed to be a new instance as he couldn't find it in the relevant department's database.
Mu Rufeng realized that, apart from the Bloody Train, the other instances were all new as well.
As Captain Zhou had said, the more new instances there were, the lower the survival rate of players would be.
Mu Rufeng didn't rush to enter any guest room because disturbing guests directly might lead to a negative review.
Thus, Mu Rufeng started walking in the hallway, looking for clues.
Soon, he spotted a warning sign not far away.
It listed the 'Guest Room Service Instructions.'
[Guest Room Service Instructions]
1. Please try to meet the guests' demands as much as possible.
2. You must not let guests give you a negative review.
3. Never enter a room without the guest's permission.
4. When the light above the door is on, it means the guest needs service; please go within two minutes.
5. Remember to knock on the door when entering.
6. Please note, you must never strike a guest, of course, you can fight back if a guest strikes you; remember, once you retaliate, defeat them quickly and earn a good review. Always remember, the guest is god; never let a guest die in the hotel.
7. Take note if the light above the door is red, then, please immediately notify the Assistant Lobby Manager, Wang Gen.
8. If two red lights come on in a short period of time, please leave the floor as quickly as possible and notify the Lobby Manager, Hua Wenliang immediately.
Eight rules, a total of eight.
Mu Rufeng pondered each one internally.
At that moment, Liu Yong also came over.
"Liu Yong, take a look at this too, remember everything; we need to adapt to situations," Mu Rufeng said.
"Okay...okay, Brother," Liu Yong nodded and hurriedly read the Guest Room Service Instructions.
Just then, a notification sound suddenly appeared in Mu Rufeng's mind.
[Detection of host entering the instance, the cheat is successfully loaded]
[Please choose one of the following three cheats to activate]
[1. Absolute Defense: Can be activated for one hour each day, can be activated and deactivated at any time, time accurate to the second. Once Absolute Defense is activated, all attacks are ignored, even those from rules.]
[2. Hear Heart Sounds: Can hear the thoughts of entities up to three levels above one's own or contractors.]
[3. Abnormality Controller: Can control an Abnormality that is lower than your own level.]
"Hm?" Mu Rufeng was slightly startled.
These three cheats seemed, apparently, to be very good.
The first, Absolute Defense, was basically invincibility. Although it could only be activated for one hour each day, it was up to the user to switch it on and off.
If used well, it really was almost like being undefeatable.
The second, Hear Heart Sounds, was also great; as mentioned before, he could hear the thoughts of all entities up to Level 5.
It was definitely a powerful cheat.
However, compared to the first two, the third seemed a lot less impressive.
Since Mu Rufeng was currently only Level 2, he could only control Level 1 Abnormalities; however, if Mu Rufeng's level increased, he would certainly be able to control higher level Abnormalities.
However, Mu Rufeng had more to consider than just that.
He also had to think about the leftovers the cheats would leave once they were unloaded, also known as the "beggar's version" of the cheats.
After a long thought, Mu Rufeng eventually chose the first cheat.
[1. Absolute Defense: Can be activated for one hour each day, can be activated and deactivated at any time, time accurate to the second. Once Absolute Defense is activated, all attacks are ignored, even those from rules.]
If used well, this cheat was definitely a significant boost for Mu Rufeng, even the beggar's version would be enormously powerful.
"Brother Mu, Brother Mu, look, a room's light is on."
While Mu Rufeng was still pondering, he saw Liu Yong tugging at his clothes, exclaiming toward room 402.
Mu Rufeng looked up and indeed, a yellow light was glowing above the door of room 402.
"I'll go first this time; you stay here and remember, follow the rules," Mu Rufeng patted Liu Yong's shoulder and strode towards room 402.
However, he had only taken one step when he stopped.
He turned around and looked at Liu Yong.
Mu Rufeng felt that, regardless of what he said, there was a high probability that he wouldn't survive.
But Mu Rufeng couldn't possibly give him any items or soul coins.
With no relatives or specific obligations, Mu Rufeng wasn't a saint and couldn't act like a nanny.
Moreover, no matter what, surviving was always up to oneself.
Thus, Mu Rufeng could only wish Liu Yong good luck here.
Wait, good luck? Mu Rufeng immediately took out the Gamblers' Dice.
"Here, roll it," Mu Rufeng handed the dice to Liu Yong.
"Ah? Brother Mu, what is this? Eh... eh eh eh, Brother Mu, I can see its attributes, wow, this is so magical, is this an item?"
"Hurry up and roll, you have two minutes when the light is on to go to the guest room," Mu Rufeng said.
The dice could only be rolled once a day, and even if the dice changed owners, it needed to cool down until the next day.
Mu Rufeng didn't need it for the time being, so letting Liu Yong roll it was fine.
"Okay... okay, Brother Mu," Liu Yong immediately nodded and then quickly rolled the dice.
"Five points, it's five points! Brother Mu, does this mean I'll gain five Luck Value?" Liu Yong exclaimed again.
Mu Rufeng took back the dice, then said, "Remember what I said."
After finishing speaking, Mu Rufeng arrived at the front of room 402.
"Knock knock knock! — Room service."
Mu Rufeng knocked on the door.
The door was opened, and a voice came from inside: "Come in."
Mu Rufeng, having received the guest's permission, immediately pushed the door and entered the room.
"Snap!" The door was directly closed.
Mu Rufeng didn't mind and began to look around the room.
The room, about forty square meters, wasn't very luxurious, it was just plain and ordinary.
And in front, sitting on a wooden sofa, was a Meat Ball Ghost, swollen all over.
Moreover, an extremely unpleasant stench filled the entire room.
"Eh? A living person? How come? Is this a snack specially prepared by the hotel for me?" The Meat Ball Ghost seemed somewhat surprised that the service personnel was a living person.
"Hello, guest, I am the room service, Mu Rufeng, may I know if you need anything?" Mu Rufeng asked composedly.
"There's so much water on the floor of this room, clean it all up," the Meat Ball Ghost said.
Mu Rufeng, hearing this, looked towards the floor, and indeed, there was a large amount of water.
And that foul smell seemed to be emanating from this water.
"Happy to serve. However, may I go out and bring in a mop?" Mu Rufeng said.
"A mop? Sure, you have three minutes," the Meat Ball Ghost said, wearing a sinister smile.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng opened the door, didn't step out, but directly spoke to Liu Yong standing not far away: "Liu Yong, bring me a mop and a bucket, they are by the elevator entrance."
"Ah? Oh, okay, Brother Mu." Liu Yong was momentarily stunned but quickly grasped the situation and quickly went to the elevator entrance, finding some tools in the corner on the left.
He immediately took a mop and a bucket and walked over.
"Thanks. And, if there are lights on, remember to bring some cleaning tools in advance," Mu Rufeng thanked him and then closed the door.
The Meat Ball Ghost, seeing Mu Rufeng did not step out of the room, felt somewhat disappointed for a moment.
And his expression, Mu Rufeng naturally noticed.
Clearly, it was a trap.
The moment Mu Rufeng had stepped out, there would definitely have been unforeseeable consequences.
"Kid, hurry up and clean," the Meat Ball Ghost, seeing Mu Rufeng wasn't fooled, didn't care either.
Mu Rufeng immediately began to mop up the water stains on the floor.
Then placed the mop into the bucket, twisting it with Ghost Power, and large amounts of water were absorbed into the bucket.
It must be said, this water was incredibly foul.
In a short while, the bucket was half full, and the water stains on the floor had been completely cleaned.
"Guest, the water stains have been cleaned up," Mu Rufeng said.
"Cleaned up? Don't think so, look, there's still a lot under my feet, right?"
The Meat Ball Ghost said, lifting its swollen legs.
Another big puddle of water stains, and Mu Rufeng could see that more water stains were continuously dripping down from the Meat Ball Ghost's legs.
Thus, Mu Rufeng knew these waters were actually coming from inside the Meat Ball Ghost's body.
It seemed this Abnormality must be a Water Ghost, and those water stains were Corpse Water.
With this, Mu Rufeng knew that even if he cleaned non-stop for twenty-four hours, he wouldn't be able to clean it all.
"Guest, it seems that this water is flowing out of you, isn't it?" Mu Rufeng spoke up.
