Chapter 450

One hundred points in the outside world are equivalent to one hundred gold coins in value.

This is a substantial amount of wealth, one that an ordinary non-professional family might never amass in their lifetime.

Even for mages, who are relatively affluent among professionals, one hundred gold coins can sustain a comfortable lifestyle for a considerable period.

It could even fund a small-scale research project of a relatively low level.

To spend such an amount so casually just for a night's stay in a luxury suite, Kevin feels that if he were to do so, his heart would be broken for many days to come.

While the allure of luxury is undeniable, it brings with it a host of foreseeable consequences.

As long as one's mind is clear, making the right choice isn't difficult.

Of course, Kevin doesn't actually need to worry about impulsively making a decision that he would regret for a long time.

Because almost instantly, those eight sky suites were snapped up; after all, wealthy individuals are never in short supply anywhere.

Wealthy mages are even more plentiful.

Before Kevin could even worry, those rooms were already taken.

Kevin's original target was the ordinary rooms priced at ten points per night.

But whether it was due to his slow hand speed or some other reason, by the time Kevin placed his crystal card to begin the reading, those rooms had all been booked by others.

He did manage to book a room available five days later, though, but for tonight, the only option left was the other special 'capsule room' on the lowest floor.

In stark contrast to the Sky Suites that hang high in the sky, the capsule rooms are situated at the very bottom of the entire chimney structure.

A night's stay here costs only two points, which is quite affordable.

Rental magic tents near the mountain passes cost around fifty silver coins, four times more expensive but still within an acceptable range for most people.

According to the promotional videos from All-Trans Shell, although the beds and walkways inside seem somewhat narrow, they are far from cramped. Instead, it is the unique accommodation style and structure that have sparked considerable curiosity among people.

After all, before this, neither professionals nor those self-important nobles had ever seen such a type of room—individual units resembling small cubicles.

The appeal of these capsule rooms to the curious is even greater than that of ordinary rooms.

However, today, at this moment, these intriguing capsule rooms are absolutely not the choice of rooms for these mages.

If there were any other options, Kevin would never choose to spend his night here.

The reason is simple: in the promotional video from All-Trans Shell, Gaden clearly stated that Blue Star Inn would not provide any pet services related to Healing Chimes or Dream Weavers in the capsule rooms on the lower levels, even if one were willing to pay extra.

Therefore, if one wants to explore new pets and not just be curious about the Dream Jellyfish, the capsule rooms are definitely not a good place to stay.

But Kevin has no other choice; he fears that if he hesitates for a few more seconds, even the capsule rooms might be unavailable.

So when the wingless flyers escorted the unlucky mages who failed to secure rooms for the day out of the hall, restoring peace and quiet here,

Kevin did not follow the directions on his crystal card to head to his room.

He hesitated in front of the counter, waiting for the surrounding crowd to disperse, planning to make a request to the two attendants.

He hoped to negotiate whether it would be possible to make an exception and allow the Healing Chime to be used in the capsule room, and he didn’t mind paying extra points for it.

Kevin glanced around and noticed that a considerable number of people, about eighty or ninety, were still remaining in the hall.

After a moment’s thought, Kevin immediately realized that these people were likely to be his “roommates” for the night.

Like him, they were unwilling to give up and wanted to try to negotiate for an exception.

Indeed, the mages who had booked the capsule rooms were quite unhappy.

They all thought of staying behind to discuss with the attendants in charge, hoping for some leniency, even if it meant paying extra to experience the abilities of the new magical creatures.

Faced with such requests, the two attendants were taken aback and somewhat hesitant to agree.

However, they couldn’t easily ignore such a large group of mages, especially when they were making fairly reasonable requests in a polite manner. According to their training, this situation was rather tricky.

If these guests had been more forceful or threatening, the attendants wouldn’t have been as concerned, as they could simply summon the Wingless Flywheel.

But now, faced with these almost pleading requests, the attendants were at a loss.

After all, for Lorant, the Blue Star’s outlets were part of the service industry.

In the service industry, there’s no reason to be rude or indifferent to customers.

However, the two attendants themselves lacked the authority to make such decisions. All the rules of the inn were set by Lorant himself, and they certainly wouldn’t dare to change them arbitrarily.

Even if it was just for one day, rules are rules.

“Since everyone is making such a request, and today is the first day of business, we’ll grant an exception for you all,” a voice suddenly rang out from a corner of the hall.

Everyone turned to look and saw Lorant and the little fat dragon hovering near his head standing quietly there. No one had noticed how long they’d been standing there.

Everyone’s hearts immediately filled with joy.

Lorant had come here today spontaneously, not as part of any scheduled plan.

The Blue Star Inn in front of the fortress was naturally closer to him, but Lorant suddenly wanted to visit all three inns to ensure everything was running smoothly.

After all, on the first day of business, Lorant wanted a strong start.

The main reason for banning the Healing Chime in the capsule rooms was the unique nature of this magical creature’s abilities.

As a creature that spreads its abilities through sound, the Healing Chime’s sound, once heard, allows everyone to enjoy the special ability of accelerated mental recovery equally.

Therefore, to ensure that each room’s occupants could exclusively enjoy the services they paid for, Lorant had installed thorough soundproofing in every room.

However, the rooms at the bottom were different. Due to the large number of people and the limited public space, it was impossible for Lorant to fully soundproof these cubicles.

If someone purchased the Healing Chime service here, then nearly half of the room’s thirty or forty occupants could enjoy the same service for free, which would be unfair to the professional who paid for it.

Therefore, for the sake of fairness, Lorant decided to simply cancel this privilege in the capsule rooms, adding some variety for the inn.

Although the majority of Blue Star Inn’s target users were magic-based professionals, in reality, there were more non-magic professionals in the mountain pass and the Black Forest.

Lorant planned to allocate some of the inn’s tents in the future, allowing only Dream Jellyfish and Healing Chime to be stationed there, allowing other professionals to enjoy these services at a relatively discounted price.

Putting aside everything else, the abilities of the Dream Jellyfish are incredibly precious on this noisy front line that keeps people constantly on edge.

Being able to have a deep sleep here is enough to make people willing to pay for it.

But today was different. For one, it was the first day of opening, and secondly, Lorant noticed that almost all the guests in the capsule rooms were there requesting to experience the Healing Chime's abilities.

Moreover, these people also expressed that they didn’t mind at all if others in the same room experienced the Healing Chime's abilities they had purchased.

Furthermore, according to Lorant's observation, there were only three to five professionals in the two capsule rooms combined who weren’t in the lobby vying for this chance.

This meant that most of the guests in the room were on the same page.

Some even offered to pay more for the Healing Chime's services.

Given the circumstances, Lorant decided to make an exception and place two Healing Chimes in the capsule rooms.

Kevin heard this news from a distance and was immediately delighted, never expecting such a turn of events.

He didn’t try to push his way into the crowd; Lorant was already surrounded by a circle of professionals who wanted to impress the master of the Black Forest front line.

They didn’t realize that with so many of them surrounding Mr. Lorant, how could he possibly remember each one of them! Not only is it rude, but it’s also annoying!

Kevin mentally cursed those who had surrounded Lorant so tightly that he couldn’t get through.

Suppressing his own desire, he turned and quickly followed the wall signs inside.

The capsule room's entrance can be accessed from either side, a special room that connects the bottoms of two chimneys to form a large space.

The capsule room is located behind the lobby, and you don’t need to use a teleportation array to go upstairs. Soon, Kevin came upon a sky-blue double door.

This door was already wide open, allowing people to come and go freely.

Kevin stood outside the door, feeling a bit emotional as he looked at the room before him.

From here, you could see the opposite door, also wide open, revealing the room's impressive length.

It must be said, no matter how much you decorate and beautify the capsule room, you can’t hide its inherent flaws.

Although Lorant had people try their best to make it less crowded, when you actually step inside, it’s inevitable to feel a bit of oppression.

Capsule rooms, about three meters long and one and a half meters high and wide, are stacked up, three layers high, neatly lining both sides of the corridor.

At the entrance of each capsule room, the hotel thoughtfully provided a small deodorizing shoe box, another novel item from Blue Star, quite popular as a magical item recently.

The magic within is not complex, but its creativity and idea are the most valuable aspects.

And this is also a small thing Lorant had the mage team create specifically for his hotel.
