Doomsday B&B

After Qi Yun returned to the courtyard, Tuan Tuan excitedly circled around her:

"Yunyun, Yunyun, we can level up again! We can level up several episodes!"

"I saw that the requirement to upgrade to level 2 is to rent out 200 courtyards, but I haven't rented any out yet?"

"Those are the obvious upgrade conditions. There are also hidden conditions. The hidden condition is that you can upgrade once your income reaches a certain standard."

"Alright, let's upgrade quickly, but does this upgrade require points?"

"No need, no need, meeting the standard is fine. Okay, then let's upgrade."

"Okay, I'll go then. This time it should only take about an hour."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay, goodbye Yunyun." With that, Tuantuan disappeared.

Qi Yun watched as Tuan Tuan went to level up, and feeling bored by herself, she went outside, took out a recliner, placed it under a tree she had planted in the yard, lay down, covered herself with a thin blanket, closed her eyes, and began to rest. After a while, although she didn't really intend to sleep, perhaps because the atmosphere was too comfortable, Qi Yun actually fell asleep.

She didn't sleep for long, only half an hour, but that half hour of sleep made her feel exceptionally comfortable and at ease.

Qi Yun woke up, and Tuan Tuan also returned after completing her upgrade:

"Yunyun, quickly open the system and take a look! Look, it's leveled up three times! Now we can open nine more stores, and there's no limit to the number of employees. Even if we open more stores in the future, you won't be too busy. There are also points rewards, and so many more things to unlock! Yunyun, look!"

"Okay, I'll take a look." Qi Yun smiled indulgently at Tuan Tuan and then opened the system to take a look.

It's pretty much the same as what Tuantuan said, but the most important thing it didn't mention was that they could build another 1000 courtyards. But Qiyun didn't care, since the guesthouse had only just started operating and the 200 courtyards weren't all rented out yet. How long would it take to rent out 1000? But new shops could be built, the children's playground could be separated, a clinic could be opened, and the fruits, vegetables, and clothing from the convenience store could be separated into separate fresh food and clothing stores.

Without hesitation, Qi Yun got to work:

First, her own courtyard was moved to the back, and the convenience store was moved to the back, leaving space for about four shops. The self-service hot pot restaurant remained in place, and a fresh food store was built next to it, where the convenience store used to be. Behind the fresh food store were a clothing store and a clinic, and next to the convenience store was a children's playground.

The interiors of these buildings, except for the children's playground, are all based on templates provided by the system. The only difference is that the fresh food stores and clothing stores have been converted into supermarket shopping models. This is convenient for the store staff who will come to work in the future, and also provides convenience and space for customers.

After deciding on the buildings to be constructed, Qi Yun temporarily pressed the save button without directly changing the layout. After saving, she had Tuan Tuan calculate the costs and, knowing she had enough points, opted to time the unlocking of all the items in the upgraded guesthouse, as well as the scheduled construction of the courtyards. That's right, Qi Yun planned to build all 1000 courtyards that could be built, to avoid having so many people crowding the backyards when she returned from going out. Moreover, the time was set to 1 a.m., by which time people who should be off work would have already left, and people who should be sleeping would be asleep.

These 1000 courtyards are still divided into 10 districts of 100 courtyards each. These 10 districts continue to be built along the lines of District 1 and District 2, with 6 districts in each row, arranged neatly. The houses in the courtyards are bare this time. Qi Yun did not do any decoration. Instead, he planned to let the guests decorate their houses themselves using the quantum computer when they moved in. They could decorate them in their own style. If they did not want to, they could directly use the templates prepared by the system, which was very convenient. Moreover, the templates prepared by the system also included various styles.

After everything was set up, the safety zone of the entire guesthouse was expanded outwards, still leaving a 3-meter safety zone outside the fence.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Yun called Tuan Tuan over:

"Tuantuan, can we build a building?"

"Why build a building? I'm part of a homestay system. A building like this would look awful."

"If you think it looks bad, then it can be built."

"Oops, I let it slip. Yunyun, don't be angry."

Looking at the mini panda blinking its little eyes in an attempt to please her, she said:

"Okay, I'm not angry. I'm not building the building inside, I plan to put it outside. The building will have a small footprint, but it can accommodate a lot of people. I'll put it behind the guesthouse courtyard and build a 10-story building. Each room will have a bathroom and a few beds. If the courtyard inside the guesthouse is full, people can take a number and stay in the building first. They can come and stay in the courtyard after the new courtyard is built. We don't need many, just one building will do."

"That's fine, I can barely accept that. But I don't have one. I need to go to the infrastructure department and ask them to design a building that can accommodate many people while taking up a small area."

"Wow, you have quite a wide network of connections, working in both cultural and infrastructure sectors."

"Hehe, even if you don't have many connections, you can still provide good service to Yunyun! Yunyun, feel free to ask if you need anything in the future."

"Is it?"

Tuantuan sensed something was off about Qiyun's tone and quickly changed her words:

"I mean, you can talk to me, and we can figure it out together, hehe..."

"Alright, stop grinning like an idiot. Go find your friends and bring the whole building back. Use your points if you need anything else, come find me."

"Okay, I'm going now." After saying that, Tuantuan disappeared.

Qi Yun shook her head helplessly at the spot where Tuan Tuan had disappeared. Tuan Tuan was just too impatient; it ran off before she even finished speaking. Oh well, she could change it later if it wasn't suitable. She needed to speed up the recruitment process. Staying home was boring; maybe she should go to the convenience store and take a look—who knows, she might find someone useful.

So Qi Yun, holding a cup of mung bean milk ice, strolled towards the convenience store. When she arrived, she saw Qi Huan standing at the entrance instead of behind the cashier. What was unusual was that she was different from her usual elegant and gentle demeanor, and was arguing with the burly man at the entrance, who was over 2 meters tall, until he was stammering.

I didn't hear much of it, only that Qi Yun also felt inadequate, lacking the eloquence. She took two steps closer and heard Qi Huan still spouting off:

"What's wrong with you? Are you her father or mother, her grandfather or grandmother, her maternal grandparents or maternal grandparents? If you're even remotely related to them, they might give you a meal. But who are you? You're such a big guy, just opening your mouth and asking for things. What, do they owe you something? Just because they have money doesn't mean they have to spend it on you. What kind of status do you have? You're a perfectly normal person, how come you live worse than a dog? If you feed a dog, it'll wag its tail and bark a couple of times. What can you do? Why don't you ask the whole family together? What's the meaning of asking only this little girl? What, at a time like this, you still have the idea of ​​eating someone else's property? You're such a big head, what's inside? You could use it to plaster the wall."

Qi Yun and Tuan Tuan were completely dumbfounded. They had never seen Qi Huan like this before; it was such a disaster to her image.

Seeing that Qi Huan had said enough, Qi Yun quickly took two steps to Qi Huan's side:

"Sister Qi Huan, don't be angry. Why are you angry with an outsider? Don't be angry anymore. Tell me what happened."

As he spoke, he glanced at the big guy standing there.

At this moment, someone emerged from the crowd, repeatedly apologizing:

"I'm sorry, ladies, this is my brother. He's a little slow on the uptake and only recognizes food. He only dared to speak up because that lady looked kind. Really, he's usually very timid and never talks to strangers."

"Oh, then wait a moment." With that, Qi Yun called Tuan Tuan out:

“Tuantuan, take a look at him, what’s wrong with him?”

Upon hearing Qi Yun's words, Tuan Tuan circled the tall man twice, then flew back to Qi Yun's side and said:

"He definitely has something wrong with his head, and he's also socially anxious."

Qi Yun and Qi Huan exchanged a glance, and Qi Huan spoke:

"That's settled then. Keep an eye on him from now on. This is only because it's us. If it were anyone else in the apocalypse who came up to him asking for food, we'd beat them up."

"Okay, I will definitely keep an eye on my brother."

"Okay. Alright, you can go now."

Then Qi Huan and Qi Yun walked hand in hand into the convenience store and went behind the counter.
