Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 272 271. If you work as a mercenary for too long, you will lose some concepts.
We won't go into the details of the check-in process here. Since it was a group check-in, the hotel management, after counting the number of people and verifying their identities, were very frightened that an 'independent mercenary' had actually come with the adult from Abian.

What kind of independent mercenary is this? What is his identity? Why is he able to follow this person?

There were many things to think about, but the supervisor here quickly welcomed him and immediately replaced the waiters with experienced ones, while also isolating the hotel's private entrances and exits.

After all the operations, she breathed a sigh of relief after everyone except Frederick entered the hotel, looking at the various decorations like a country bumpkin entering the city.

Then, with an expression as if everyone owed her money, she said, "I'm going to stay in my room. If it's not something important, don't waste my time. Got it?"

Seifer shrugged. "The money's with the sponsor. You're the one treating. You have the final say."

He seemed to be being sarcastic, but Feldrich still left suspiciously. What happened next was...

Looking back, Wei Liwei, who had just been in the car for a while and had never thought that she could stay in such a luxurious hotel, was looking at everything excitedly.

Due to Frederick's generosity, half of the area of the luxury hotel, which was originally used for business reception, was occupied, and even an outdoor private hot spring was included.

Sefer took the service guide given to him by the store, which had a cover in a deep and restrained style, flipped through it, and confirmed it.

It's really a lavish and inhumane place, especially Feldrich. The price of renting a private hot spring for two days is enough to repair and maintain your body.

Then I realized belatedly that after being a mercenary for so long, always spending and receiving money in units of tens of thousands, I had lost a certain sensitivity to the prices of various materials in this world.

I even remembered that Leica had just spent a few dozen dollars to buy some second-hand books on in-depth study in a used bookstore some time ago... How should I put it, I feel a little weird.

But since they had decided to rest here, they had to relax. Sefer distributed the keys to each room to others, made an appointment to have dinner together in the restaurant later, and then curiously entered their own room.

——In his previous life, when he was on a business trip and wanted to save a little on travel expenses, for example, if the budget was for a hotel within two hundred yuan, he would go and stay at a fast-food chain hotel that cost around eighty, ninety, or a hundred yuan.

The money saved can be used to have a good meal!

So in Sefer's imagination, a hotel should be like that, where you push the door and enter a corridor the length of the toilet, and behind the not-so-glare lights are two single beds or a double bed, with a total area of about fifteen square meters.

Feldridge was indeed wealthy, but she was sure she lived in a luxurious suite and the rest of the people could do as cheaply as possible, which really made her look down on herself.

As you enter the door, the lights inside light up first, and there is even soft music. The living room that comes into view is decorated with fully soft-packaged dark colors, which looks restrained and luxurious.

The sunken entrance hall at the door even has an automatic tool for heating slippers. When you enter the room, the holographic projection device opposite the soft sofa set in the living room will light up naturally, which requires a personal ID to log in.

'Customer check-in detected, customer ID, independent mercenary Red Crossbow, welcome home.'

Then the kettle on the table started working, and various options lit up on the projection device, such as chatting on the mercenary exchange board to buy and sell items, or recommending nearby trading points.

Or you can watch the programs that the entertainment company in the desert broadcasts for free or for a fee.

Sefer was not very interested in these for the time being. The door closed gently, and the wall facing the outside, which had been dim just now, suddenly lit up - it was a floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window is the lush natural balcony of this node city, which is specially planted and maintained by someone. It is separated from the next room by a natural wall panel, perfectly protecting the personal privacy of the occupants.

As for why he did this—pushing open the French windows and stepping out, at the end of the neatly paved, non-slip stone path, lay a steaming, slightly murky hot spring pool, large enough for one or two people. A true private hot spring. From the top of the Node City, a single-layered glass window overlooking the exterior, one could see the diverse architectural styles stacked together, and the river of light.

This is just what comes with the room. Rich people really know how to enjoy life.

After standing by and watching for a while, Seifer subconsciously glanced at the room next to him. As soon as he looked over, he saw a short pink hair swaying on the upper edge of the wall behind the wall.

"...Shengnai?"

"Ah, it's this way after all, Cypher. The chair is a little low... Hmm."

Then, Shengnai's little head popped out from behind the wall. She said with a smile, "This is the first time I live in such a spacious house. Is it really okay...?"

"What's wrong with that? If someone treats you to a meal, you'd better drink the soup too... Anyway, if you want to talk to me, just knock on the door. Why climb over the wall?"

"Well... we're confirming the route so that we can arrive and rescue as soon as possible when danger occurs."

In fact, it was not just here. Within just a few minutes after checking in, Shengnai had completely figured out the hotel's emergency passages, large ventilation ducts, and main and secondary entrances and exits.

"Just relax. There are so many people in this city, and most of them are here for tourism and consumption. Basically, nothing will happen."

Cypher is quite laid back, and...even if something happens, it doesn't matter. They're just here to have fun anyway, and whether there's a vendetta or some other trouble out there, it has nothing to do with the crew of the Navigator.

Shengnai nodded slightly, jumped off the chair, said that they would gather at the restaurant later, and then went to busy himself with other things.

After visiting the exterior scenes, Seifer looked down at the complex layers of suspended corridors... He felt like he had walked into a fantasy work.

But unfortunately, this is reality, and this is a work of fantasy, even one that Cypher imagined—he shook his head helplessly and returned to the room.

Although I didn't feel it, I could tell with a little thought that there must be a constant temperature system in the room.

He walked through the living room with its comfortable sofas and carpets and entered the room. The large bed, big enough for three or five people to roll around on, was covered with a soft mattress—unfortunately, Seifer couldn't use it.

After all, the machine's body does not need to rest. Even when it was resting today, Seifer might have been flipping through the news in the room, looking at this or that.

Sefer was very envious of the white and luxurious multifunctional bathtub in the room - a place like this where you can bring a girl to stay and have fun, and even have fun, is so comfortable just thinking about it.

It’s a pity that I am just a lump of iron now and can’t do whatever I want as I imagined.

——Then in the restaurant, I realized that people in this world are indeed particular about food, but not too particular.

Specifically, except for Lin Shenxue, no one else was interested in the exquisite dishes on the table. After asking, Sefer found out that these were all made to imitate the plating at the central node.

Sefer didn't know whether the food there tasted good or not, but this one was said to be really hard to swallow.

Strictly speaking, after letting Seifer cook in the car every day, I got used to a diet that had been thoroughly researched in some aspects, and then coming back... well, it's a little difficult to turn back.
