Chapter 3923 It's impossible to overcharge customers; they're all just innocent victims walking right into a trap!
It wasn't until she felt a slight stinging sensation in her nose that Miss Sheryl woke up and realized what had just happened!
She... almost got her head chopped off!
An unnamed chill ran from her feet straight to her head. Experiencing death so closely almost made her brain forget to think.
"What...what are you going to do..."
"No entry without a reservation."
The puppet doorman's answer was not stiff, but rather quite human—but Miss Sheryl could not equate these two guys with "humans" in any way.
"Even without an appointment, this is too much..."
Before she could finish speaking, one of the puppet doormen suddenly pointed—pointing to a notice board standing in front of the hotel!
The gist of it is that anyone who trespasses without permission will bear the consequences.
The sign was not small, and it even thoughtfully used the common language symbols of different Void sides... The font size was also such that it could be seen from a distance.
Miss Sherry was taken aback. How come she hadn't noticed it before?
But she didn't intend to make a scene here. As a well-known figure, who knew if there were any annoying people like "void reporters" around?
After calming herself down a bit, Ms. Sherry adjusted her sunglasses. "Alright, I'll make the reservation now, is that alright? This is my port pass; it allows me to enter any type of service facility..."
However, the two doormen merely glanced at the voucher that Miss Sherry had produced and said, "I'm sorry, you are not eligible for an appointment at the moment. Please leave as soon as possible."
“What…” Sheryl’s eyes widened in surprise. “Okay, okay, I’ll remember that!”
—I'll complain about this hotel to death later!
Miss Sheryl, having swallowed her anger, let out a soft snort. If she weren't worried that the revelation of her altered movement techniques would damage her reputation…
But right now.
"what's going on."
A pleasant voice came from inside the door, and then the hotel door slowly opened, revealing a woman with long golden hair and azure eyes walking out.
Miss Sheryl glanced over instinctively, and was immediately struck by her beauty. The second glance was equally stunning – as a Galactic Fairy with breathtaking beauty, she could hardly find anyone who could rival or even surpass her in appearance.
—Why do I feel like I'm being completely crushed in every way...?
The puppet doorman dutifully recounted the events without embellishment... while Miss Sheryl remained silent.
This stunningly beautiful woman must be the person in charge of this hotel... or something like that?
She didn't leave immediately; she just wanted to see how this amazing woman would handle the situation.
"Hmm..." The maid nodded, then looked at Sherry beside her, her eyes flashing with a strange light: "I already know what happened. Miss, I am very sorry for the behavior of those two doormen. Because they were just set up, they were a little stiff in handling things."
“…It’s nothing.” Miss Shirley said magnanimously, “I just didn’t read the notice carefully. I just didn’t expect the hotel’s entry requirements to be so high. Even my highest-level port pass couldn’t make a reservation.”
—It's confirmed, this Miss Sherry is an [surprising] person!
The maid smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, our hotel hasn't officially opened for business at the port yet, so we're only accepting internal members for now. Madam, your pass is perfectly fine. Once the hotel officially opens, you're welcome to stay anytime."
The other party's attitude was very good... and they've already gone to such lengths to say it.
Sherry's anger subsided considerably without her realizing it—mainly because the other person was indeed very good-looking, which gave her a significant advantage in communication!
Even women like to look at beautiful women, right?
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that he almost got his head chopped off at the beginning, this matter would probably have ended there.
"Furthermore..." the maid suddenly said, "Regarding the trouble this matter has caused you, I would like to offer you a visit to our hotel to experience our services as a gesture of goodwill. Would you be willing to accept that?"
“…Alright then.” Miss Sherry nodded. “Since you’re so sincere, then let’s just drop this matter.”
I originally planned to go in and keep an eye on Xizi to prevent her from going astray... Now it's perfect!
The maid smiled slightly, then instructed the [Prayer] maid beside her, "Next, you will attend to this... this lady. May I ask your name?"
"Sherry... Sherry!"
"Well then, Miss Shirley, have a pleasant evening," the maid said with a smile.
Then left.
Sherry suddenly felt a sense of loss.
"Miss Sherry, hello. I will be at your service from now on." Miss [Prayer] smiled. "You can call me Theresa."
The employee named Theresa is a petite and cute girl with long white hair.
Completely captivated by the maid's beauty, Sheryl suddenly realized that Teresa was also a rare and beautiful girl!
Are all the people at this hotel this good-looking?!
"Oh... thank you for your trouble." Sherry nodded, not forgetting her purpose, and asked directly, "I'm a little hungry. How's the food at your restaurant?"
“They are all excellent chefs, and our hotel’s ingredients are sourced from all over the world, many of which are limited-time offerings. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.” Theresa smiled warmly. “Miss Shirley, please let me take you to the restaurant.”
"Ok!"
Theresa, who was leading the way, suddenly received an instruction from the maid in the staff's work group - try to arrange for Miss Sherry to be placed near Young Master Gofan.
……
……
"Did something interesting happen?"
The maid returned to the chairman's office later—at that moment, Boss Luo was gazing at the bustling city of Saint Gloria through the hotel's doors.
"A little." The maid approached Boss Luo, not explaining what had happened, but instead asking curiously, "What does Master think of this [Saint Gloria] Port?"
Boss Luo casually remarked, "This isn't the void I imagined. It's more like a small society."
As the maid tidied up Boss Luo's clothes, which were practically flawless, she smiled and said, "Although every immortal who transcends from a small world has the thought of going to the [Primordial] when they enter the void, in reality, for most void immortals, the void sea at the first node is probably already their [end point]."
"give up?"
The maid gently pressed against his chest. "Perhaps it's resentment, perhaps despair, or perhaps the unbearable emptiness that comes with immortality. The search for the 'Origin' can probably be seen as a process of finding one's true self. They will go through a relatively long period of self-indulgence. Master, do you know that in the void, the more powerful a life form is, the more 'naive' it sometimes appears..."
"It's like a painting from Picasso's later years." Boss Luo nodded.
The maid looked up and said, "After all, intellect only accounts for a small part, ascetics are more precious... and the vast majority cannot escape hedonism."
【Saint Gloria】port is merely the gateway to the Void Sea, a place where those who advance and those who retreat mingle... or rather, a place for retirement, not a fiercely contested battlefield.
Boss Luo chuckled, sensing that the maid was in a rather high mood today. "You still haven't told me what interesting things you encountered."
"Does it matter?" the maid said softly. "Has Master forgotten that the end of a date is..."
Boss Luo chuckled softly and reached out to stroke her cheek. "It really doesn't matter anymore."
……
……
Upon entering the hotel, Miss Xizi sensed something was amiss... not just a little, but quite amiss!
Because her power was completely sealed!
Although she was just an assistant assigned to a celebrity by the company, her strength level was not even enough to break through the small world - if we take [Morning Star] 1 star as the minimum standard for walking in the void, and combat power is 1, then Miss Xizi is probably around 0.75.
This is all because her gambling father has the blood of some great demon flowing through his veins...
The unease caused by her power being suppressed made Miss Xizi immediately wary of the banquet. She frowned and asked, "Young Master Ge Fan, why is this hotel so unfamiliar after we entered...?"
“Miss Sherry, there’s no need to worry. All customers who come in are treated the same.” Young Master Ge Fan said calmly, “This is a mechanism set up to prevent some customers from causing trouble by using force. Except for some specific areas of the hotel, this applies to most places. Even immortals at the [Radiant Moon] level cannot avoid it.”
"This place... is actually this amazing?!" Miss Xizi couldn't help but be moved.
Young Master Ge Fan smiled slightly: "I was just as surprised as you were at first, but you get used to it... Don't worry, you'll be very safe here."
"Then the owner of this hotel must be very powerful," Miss Xizi asked curiously. "Young Master Ge Fan, you must know the background of the hotel owner?"
"About this..." Young Master Ge Fan shook his head, "To be honest, my father once wanted to visit the owner of this place, but he was probably refused."
Miss Xizi exclaimed incredulously, "The governor of Saint Gloria Port is actually..."
Young Master Ge Fan said calmly, "Although my father is the governor of this place, he only has the ability to protect himself in the Void Sea and can protect this place. In the Void... there are countless people stronger than my father."
“Young Master Ge Fan’s background already surpasses that of most people,” Miss Xizi said with a smile.
Young Master Ge Fan did not comment. Then, led by the waiter, the two arrived at the hotel restaurant. There were not many customers in the restaurant, only about six or seven tables, and they were far apart from each other.
The restaurant was unusually quiet... there were more waiters than customers.
They were seated in a relatively private area that was enclosed by three screens.
Miss Xizi found it strange... Although there was a screen around, the governor's son did not choose a private room—she had noticed when she came in that there were private rooms available.
But since Young Master Ge Fan didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, Xi Zi simply stopped asking. Besides, although there was a screen around her, she was still in the main hall, and there were quite a few servants coming and going, so she felt somewhat at ease.
As the rumors suggest, the governor's son is a very well-mannered gentleman... and has never been involved in any scandals.
"However, isn't this table a bit too big for just the two of us?" Miss Xizi was still curious—this large round table could easily seat ten people.
"Because there will be other guests," Young Master Ge Fan said with a slight smile.
"There are...other people?" Xi Zi frowned subconsciously.
"I'll introduce you to them later... Also, there might be some unexpected situations later, so please bear with me, Miss Shirley... Afterwards, Ge Fan will sincerely apologize to you," Young Master Ge Fan said earnestly.
"This?" Miss Xizi looked puzzled.
Young Master Ge Fan suddenly stood up. "We were just talking about it when our first guest arrived."
In fact, not only the first guest, but five more people dressed in different styles walked in one after another, led by the waiter.
Xi Zi glanced around discreetly and realized that these guests were no ordinary people—one of them was even quite famous!
Odin, the king of the gods in Asgard!
Although Xizi didn't recognize the other four, she knew from Ge Fan Gongzi's introduction that they were all immortal powerhouses at the [Radiant Moon] level!
Facing the gazes of Odin and the other four Moonlit Immortals, Xizi felt a chill run down her spine... Had Miss Sherry's makeup skills already been seen through?
She's so panicked right now, she's practically digging a family photo out of the floor with her toes.
"Young Master Ge Fan, I didn't expect you to actually invite Miss Sheryl, the [Galaxy Fairy]! You're really something!" Among the five, a man with fiery red hair, completely black eyes, and a domineering and rugged appearance laughed loudly, "I'm impressed! I admit defeat, and I agree to your previous proposal!"
"It was a stroke of luck." Young Master Ge Fan smiled slightly. "It's just that an elder in my family has some connections with Miss Shirley's company, which is why I was able to get help."
The red-haired, black-eyed man nodded, his eyes fixed on Miss Sherryl the entire time. "I was fortunate enough to hear Miss Sherryl's singing last time, which gave me a glimmer of hope in my desperate situation. Since then, I, Old Mo, have always wanted to thank you! It's just a pity that I haven't had the chance! Enough said, Miss Sherryl. If you ever have any trouble in the future, just come to me, Old Mo!"
"This..." Miss Xizi asked in surprise, "Last time?"
Old Mo said, "Miss Shirley, you don't need to worry about it. Just know that you have done me a favor... What, didn't Young Master Ge Fan explain this when he invited you here?"
Old Mo instantly cast a sharp glance at the governor's son.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became somewhat subtle.
Surely no one really thinks these [Radiant Moon] level big shots are genuinely friendly and polite—they're just limited editions for this hotel!
Any [Radiant Moon]-level character who hasn't taken hundreds of millions of lives would be embarrassed to even greet people in the Void Street!
"Ahem...it was indeed my mistake." Young Master Ge Fan quickly said, "It was just because time was too short. I will apologize to Miss Shirley later!"
As he spoke, Young Master Ge Fan cast a pleading look at Xi Zi.
In fact, if the real Miss Sheryl were here, she would have already turned her back and left in a huff—but Miss Xizi wouldn't dare!
Xi Zi said calmly, "It's my fault. The concert rehearsals took too long, which delayed my arrival at the banquet. Lord Mo, please don't blame Young Master Ge Fan."
"Well, for your sake, I'll let it go this time," Old Mo said calmly.
Just then, the God-King Odin, who had been silent all along, spoke up calmly: "Alright, this meeting is to discuss collaboration with the content designers, not for you to chase after celebrities. If you keep talking about useless things, I won't keep you company."
"Then you can leave." Old Mo showed no mercy to the Asgardian god-king. "Nobody begged you to come. If you don't like it, get lost! Anyway, the design rights for the second level are in my hands. I have plenty of people coming to me for help!"
That's right, this red-haired, black-eyed, and domineering [Radiant Moon] level Lord Mo is the one who was slightly provoked by the mysterious big shot (plant) of VIP No. 3 and then won the initial layer design rights... the traitor!
“You… Hmph!” The god-king Odin frowned.
Another [Radiant Moon] level member sitting with them quickly stepped in to mediate, "Alright, we're all gathered here for the sake of greater benefits. Surely no one is uninterested in the legacy of the Old Gods? Come, let me pour you both some drinks to calm you down! It's not a big deal!"
……
Miss Xizi watched the conversation of these big shots with trembling hands.
Good news: It's clear that Young Master Gefan has no interest in him... oh, I mean, in Miss Sheryl for the time being!
Bad news: It seems I've unwittingly been drawn into the vortex of some interest group...
……
……
"...Miss Shirley, have you decided what you'd like to eat?"
Theresa had to speak up at this point—because Miss Shirley had been staring at the menu for over ten minutes… and hadn’t even turned the page!
"Oh..." Miss Sheryl was completely focused on looking through the gap in the screen at what was on the menu, so she subconsciously said, "One of everything on the menu, please!"
“…Miss Shirley, how about I make you today’s recommendation?” Theresa kindly reminded her again, “Our light meals here are actually quite good.”
"No need! I said bring everything... never mind, just bring half, I'll pack up the rest!" Miss Sherrylou just wanted no one in her way, so she tossed the menu aside. "Go serve the food, I'm hungry! Also, I usually eat alone, so... why don't you go do something else first?"
"OK."
Theresa nodded, then had the menus taken away. She glanced at Miss Shirley with a hint of pity before leaving gracefully and calmly.
