BXBX NOVEL Chapter 116: Aircraft
Chapter 116
"Boss Gu," Ling Quan said with a smile. "It\'s been a while since we last spoke. How have you been?"
"Not bad. And you, Miss Ling?"
"Thanks to the supplies from Boss Gu, everyone at the base has been in high spirits lately, with their motivation soaring," Ling Quan said, her face showing a hint of satisfaction. "To be honest, I thought it would take at least a few more years for them to reach this state."
"That\'s good to hear," Gu Wanyin said with a smile.
Although she was doing this to earn points, she was genuinely happy that the hotel could bring hope to others.
"So, I\'d like to purchase some more supplies this time," Ling Quan said. "Is that alright? The quantity should be even more than last time."
"Of course!" Gu Wanyin replied. "You can have as much as you need."
Ever since the people at the survival base had tasted the self-heating hotpots, bread, and other items from the hotel, they had gone on a frenzy of killing zombies and searching for valuable jewelry.
Many had also bought weapons, which made them even more enthusiastic about killing zombies.
Of course, with so many people involved, there were bound to be some who fought over crystal cores and valuable jewelry.
After all, having struggled through two years of the apocalypse, some people had developed a ruthless personality.
However, after Ling Quan dealt with several malicious disputes with an iron fist, they became much more subdued. Although it was impossible to completely eradicate such incidents behind the scenes, at least they wouldn\'t escalate into major, ugly conflicts.
With crystal cores and other items that could be exchanged for points, people naturally began to crave the supplies from Peace Hotel again.
After Ling Quan had her subordinates tally up the needed supplies once more, she contacted Gu Wanyin.
This time, the survival base not only requested bread, instant noodles, mineral water, self-heating hotpots, weapons, and medicine, but also 20,000 portions of rice noodles, 20,000 portions of fried rice with eggs, 20,000 bottles of cola, 20,000 bottles of orange juice, 20,000 cans of beer, and 20,000 barbecue sets.
The barbecue set was something Gu Wanyin had put together earlier, containing both meat and vegetables, about a dozen skewers, priced at fifty points per set.
It seemed that with more items to exchange for points, the people at the survival base wanted to indulge a little.
Gu Wanyin was naturally happy to see this, as it meant she could earn more points.
Moreover, this time, Ling Quan had paid all the points in advance.
It appeared that she now completely trusted Gu Wanyin.
Gu Wanyin immediately had the system send over all the supplies.
Then, after chatting with Ling Quan for a while longer, she learned that a significant event had occurred at the survival base in the past few days.
One of the leaders of the survival base, a man they called "Number Three," had led a rebellion with several dozen of his loyal followers a few days ago.
They had intended to kill Ling Quan and then crown Number Three as the supreme leader of the base.
When Gu Wanyin heard about this, she thought to herself, "Why are there rebellions everywhere? A rebellion in the demon realm, and now a rebellion in the survival base."
However, since Ling Quan was still standing in front of the screen chatting with her, it was clear that Number Three had not succeeded.
After all, Ling Quan\'s strength was formidable, and she was both astute and had more loyal followers than Number Three.
Even though Number Three had launched a surprise attack, in the end, Ling Quan had only suffered minor injuries, while he himself had fled with severe wounds.
"He escaped?" Gu Wanyin asked.
"Yes," Ling Quan nodded. "I\'ve sent people to look for him, but they haven\'t found him yet."
Gu Wanyin thought to herself that this man called Number Three must have been really bored. Why couldn\'t he just stay put in the survival base? Why did he have to cause trouble?
Moreover, in this apocalyptic world full of zombies and natural disasters, how could he survive alone outside with severe injuries?
But this matter didn\'t really concern her, so she didn\'t dwell on it after hearing about it.
The process of unlocking the hospital and recruiting doctors was still ongoing.
However, the hospital needed many doctors and nurses, and they couldn\'t just randomly pick people who knew a little bit to fill the positions. So, just like with the teachers for the school earlier, they couldn\'t fill all the positions at once and had to take it slow.
Fortunately, they had managed to recruit a reliable doctor for the obstetrics and gynecology department, so there wasn\'t much to worry about when Li Xiaosi would give birth in a few months.
This would be the first child born in the hotel, and the hotel guests were all quite excited about it.
Li Xiaosi and her husband were particularly thrilled. As luck would have it, the hotel had just unlocked the mother and baby products store, and even though the child hadn\'t been born yet, they couldn\'t resist going to the store to buy some items.
Another ten days or so passed, and Gu Wanyin completed two more tasks issued by the system. One was to sell five items from the mother and baby products store, and the other was to have ten people visit the farmers\' market.
These two tasks weren\'t difficult, and the rewards were quite generous. They directly unlocked all the rooms in Buildings 5 and 6, as well as all the rooms in Building 2 of the special complex.
Most importantly, it even unlocked an airplane and an airport for Gu Wanyin.
Gu Wanyin arrived at the airport and felt excited seeing the plane parked on the apron.
"System, can I fly this plane?" Gu Wanyin asked as she walked towards the aircraft. "But I\'ve never flown one before."
She had gotten a driver\'s license before her transmigration and was proficient at driving cars, but flying a plane was a bit of a stretch!
"Don\'t worry, host. You can totally wing it... I mean, be a bit more adventurous. After all, this plane has an absolute autopilot system."
"So you\'re saying that me sitting in the pilot\'s seat is just for show."
"Exactly."
Gu Wanyin: "..."
The words were correct, but why did they feel a bit off?
"With this plane, I can go to other cities to promote the hotel!" Gu Wanyin said.
"That\'s right! And this plane is allowed to carry passengers."
"Really?" Gu Wanyin\'s eyes lit up. "So after I promote the hotel in other cities, if people want to come to the hotel, they can just board the plane and come with me?"
"Yes."
Gu Wanyin nodded with satisfaction. "That\'s quite good, actually. After all, if someone wants to come to the hotel from another city, they\'d face countless dangers on the way. If they died halfway, it would mean one less guest for the hotel."
In this apocalyptic world, the outside was fraught with danger.
But for those outside, the hotel was like heaven, so there would definitely be people willing to risk their lives for a chance...
This plane, apart from the cockpit, had two hundred seats in the passenger cabin.
Every time Gu Wanyin flew to another city, she could bring back two hundred guests.
These two hundred guests wouldn\'t have to walk from one city to another.
Even if they arrived when the hotel had no vacant rooms, they could at least wait near the hotel and buy food from Peace Supermarket and the small restaurant.
However, to board the plane, points would need to be spent.
As for how many points, it would depend on the distance between that city and the hotel, ranging from 100 to 2,000 points.
A point exchange machine was embedded in the body of the aircraft.
