Surviving on the highway, I have a best friend who was reborn.

Chapter 36 Hope Hotel 20% Discount Card

"Come again!"

Yuanqiao, who had been beaten black and blue by the deputy stationmaster, felt like he wanted to die.

[Getting beaten up will help you improve: After using the skill, endure the most severe beatings to clear blocked meridians and strengthen your physique. The skill has no time limit; as long as you don't die, keep beating until you're dead.]
I thought I was going to have a relaxing full-body spa treatment, but instead I ended up getting a beating.

"what!"

He was kicked against the wall, then bounced back and slammed heavily to the ground.

Stand up and fall down, fall down and stand up again...

Yuanqiao went from being defiant at first, to begging for mercy, and then to enjoying it...

I got a good beating and unlocked the masochistic version of Yuanqiao.

"Come again!!"

This time it was Yuanqiao who shouted, "Deputy Station Chief, are you tired? You don't have the energy you had when you were fighting!"

I don't know if it was because of the medicinal bath I took before or because of the deputy stationmaster's talent skill, but Yuanqiao's serious injuries would heal automatically very quickly, but the pain would remain very clearly.

The deputy stationmaster, sweating profusely, stepped forward again and delivered another brutal punch to Yuanqiao before collapsing from exhaustion.

"That's enough, that's enough, let's stop."

After Yuanqiao had calmed down for a while, the deputy stationmaster took her to another large medicinal bath, which was arranged by the cat-eared lady again.

With practiced ease, Yuanqiao, despite the pain and exhaustion, simply closed his eyes to absorb the medicine.

Yuanqiao felt a little aggrieved, having never been beaten so badly in his life, even though he knew it was someone else's skill and that it was good for him.

She curled up, feeling wronged, and thought that she would complain to Nanxi when she saw her in the future.

Around dinner time, the cat-eared lady gave Yuanqiao a tube of high-grade nutritional supplement.

Yuanqiao knew before that drinking the advanced nutritional supplement for the first time would permanently increase his constitution by 2 points, but he had never drunk it.

Based on the two medicinal baths and the deputy stationmaster's innate skill assistance, it is estimated that the overall constitution will increase by 20 points after the high-level nutrient solution is fully absorbed.

There are two other projects that are much easier than getting beaten up, especially the ones that improve mental strength. They are very comfortable, making you feel like you are floating in an ocean of mental energy.

Hopefully, hotel staff will come to the medical station to pick people up after dark.

Yuanqiao is checking his data panel.

[Player: Yuanqiao]

【Age: 22】

Height: 168cm Weight: 48kg

Vehicle: Tier 4

[Physique: 36+21]

[Spirit Value: 140 + 10]

[Health Points: 800 + 700]

[Talent Skill: Lucky Aura, Favored by the God of Wealth]

[Other Skills: Cleaning Lady's Wrath, Frost Breath]

Backpack: 53/100 (expandable)

[Pet: Level 2 Swift Rabbit (Baby)]

My physical condition has improved significantly, and my health points have also increased a lot, now at 57 points, which is 1 point more than expected. The speed of recovering both mental energy and health points has also increased.

Seeing that his mental value had broken through 150, he could eat two red fruits to further improve his physique. However, his intuition told Yuanqiao not to take out the red fruits at the medical station.

Yuanqiao sometimes takes inexplicable intuition very seriously. Red fruit is a rare and precious natural treasure marked by the system, so it's indeed better not to flaunt one's wealth in public.

After a full-body treatment, Yuanqiao felt much better in every aspect, her spirits lifted, and she wished she could come back more often.

After leaving Yuanqiao, the cat-eared girl compiled the information and reported it to the site administrator:
"Data shows that she has eaten the Crimson Spirit Fruit. Whether she ate the Crimson Fruit in the Crimson Fruit Forest Secret Realm and came out alive or brought the Crimson Fruit out, it shows that this player is not simple."

"But she's too weak."

The station manager on the other end of the video call chuckled softly.
"She'll come again next time, so put her file in the B-level section."...

As Yuanqiao was teleported to the Hope Hotel by the staff, he couldn't help but think that even with a 20% discount, he might not be able to afford such a luxurious place.

The moment I stepped into the hotel, I was struck by its magnificent design that perfectly blended opulence with futuristic technology.

The staff led her to the reception desk, where a transparent panel suspended in the air displayed pictures and videos. The hotel rooms were all independent and spacious, and the technology simulated the indoor and outdoor environments of real-world scenarios.

When I tried to contact 005 through the business card to find myself a more ordinary place to stay, I saw other players coming in from the other side of the hotel lobby.

"Xinyan, why don't we stay at the service station for a few more days?"

Two female players, Xin Yan? That name sounds familiar. Could it be Hua Xin Yan, the one who randomly labels people with moral accusations and predicts natural disasters?

Yuanqiao didn't have a very good impression of her.

The two of them also went to the reception desk to choose a room. Yuanqiao stopped walking because he heard them talking about something on the highway.

"This hotel charges 5 gold coins a night for a regular double room. It's so expensive, and the pictures don't look that nice. Xinyan, should we go somewhere else?"

"This is fine, Sister Zhong. I think the environment here is very nice."

“Then… let’s do it here…” Zhong Minqing gritted her teeth and agreed. She wanted to befriend Hua Xinyan, who had a talent for this, and she had a premonition that her wallet would suffer a huge loss before coming to the service station.

She recently learned about the existence of the service station and the upcoming release of a large number of polluting monsters on the highway through predictions. The only way to get more details is to please her.

"Can staying at a service station for two days really avoid the time when monsters are spawning in the game?"

"Sister Zhong is so kind to me, Xinyan will definitely tell you everything she knows~"

Hua Xinyan thought about the predicted talent skill, a hint of arrogance flashing in her eyes, but on the surface she acted cute and coquettish towards Zhong Minqing.

Thinking that there's no harm in listening to the predictions, regardless of whether they're true or not, I found it quite amusing to see the two of them being so coy.

Monsters appearing in the game?

Yuanqiao looked at the panel thoughtfully.

Hua Xinyan, who was standing to the side, came over and took the initiative to greet them:
"Hi, are you also staying at a hotel? If you're short on funds, would you like to join us? After all, when traveling abroad, we should help each other out."

The other person smiled kindly and innocently, and their words were warm and comforting.

Zhong Minqing, standing beside her, had a stiff expression and didn't quite understand her behavior.

Yuanqiao found it a little funny; she seemed determined to cultivate a "true, kind, and beautiful" persona wherever she went.

Ignoring her, I turned to the staff and told them I wanted to book a single room with a double bed. I'd decided to stay here anyway, and since I was going to spend money, I might as well book a room with a classic, antique feel that I liked.

15 gold coins per night, it's a bit expensive but acceptable. Yuanqiao took out the Hope Hotel 20% off card and handed it over to register.

I saved 3 gold coins after the discount. After paying the gold coins, I waited for the staff to take me to my room.

Hua Xinyan felt awkward when Yuan Qiao ignored her; her face had darkened for a moment when she heard Yuan Qiao's name during registration.

She quickly composed herself and said to Yuanqiao with a pitiful expression, "So you're Yuanqiao, sister. I'm sorry, I was wrong before. I apologize."

"I never expected that we would meet in real life. It's so wonderful!"

Yuanqiao responded with a half-smile: "It's me, the Yuanqiao who blocked you."

Hua Xinyan was almost speechless at those words, but looking at the discount card in Yuan Qiao's hand, she still smiled and said:

"Sister Yuanqiao, hotel accommodations are quite expensive. Could you lend us your discount card?"

Yuanqiao was a little surprised by the other party's shamelessness. Couldn't she see that she didn't like her attitude?
"No loan."

"Why? I'm sorry, Sister Yuanqiao. It was my fault before. I made you unhappy, which is why I didn't want to lend the discount card to Sister Zhong. I'm really sorry."

She even started crying as she spoke.

Zhong Minqing looked completely confused. Huh? Is this something I need to do?
Yuanqiao: ...

"Yes, you cry so ugly, it's bad luck, I don't like you."

Not wanting to watch her continue performing, Yuanqiao turned and left, and the staff led her into the teleportation tunnel to her room.

Hua Xinyan stopped crying instantly, "You!"
