Doomsday B&B

Qi Yun slept for a full four hours. When she woke up, it was already completely dark, but she wasn't in a hurry. She had dinner with Jian Xinling before strolling back to her courtyard.

When she got back, Jiang Xinrui was already waiting for her at home. Looking at Jiang Xinrui, who was lying on the bed in a daze, she asked:

"Rui Rui, what are you daydreaming about?"

"Oh, sister, I'm thinking that when Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandma on my mother's side come, I won't be able to live with you anymore."

"You're worried about this?"

"Ah."

"That's easy. I'll save the room next door for you. You can decorate it into your own private room. You can come and stay with me anytime you want. We'll be living so close to each other from now on."

"Sister, are you really going to give me a room?"

"Of course it's true! Come on, I'll give you the permissions right now, you can design it yourself!"

"Thank you, sister!" Jiang Xinrui excitedly jumped onto Qi Yun and kissed her before happily going off to design her own room.

Qi Yun also went to the bathroom to wash her face, brush her teeth, take a shower, and do her skincare routine. It took her almost two hours. When she came out, Jiang Xinrui was still in the same position she had been in, still full of excitement.

Qi Yun shook her head helplessly, got into bed, opened the system, and prepared to check today's data.

Although there were many people today, there wasn't a large amount of spending. However, because there were so many people, even small amounts of spending added up to a considerable total. Not many courtyards were rented out, because the Xuanyuan clan still follows the concept of not separating the family while the parents are alive. So only about half of the courtyards were rented out, roughly 500. Basically, after Tuantuan reminded us, no more courtyards were rented out.

After reviewing the data, Tuantuan came out:

"Yunyun, aren't you going to level up?"

"what?"

"Oh dear, you leveled up twice before because you met the hidden conditions. Now, if you continue to level up, it will follow the normal leveling order. This means that you only need to meet the conditions for leveling up to level 3 to reach level 6 now, which greatly reduces the leveling requirements."

"Oh, okay, then upgrade me. But wouldn't that be a bug?" Qi Yun asked Tuan Tuan in confusion.

"Ah, never mind, I'll upgrade you first and then report it. Yunyun, wait a minute. The higher the level, the faster you level up. I'll report it after I've upgraded you." After a moment of stiffness, Tuantuan continued to upgrade Qiyun, upgrading her two levels in a row. Although Tuantuan's last sentence was slightly resentful.

Because if the host doesn't raise the issue, their systems can completely ignore it as a bug, but once the host raises it, they must report it to the main system.

"Alright, Yunyun, I've finished leveling up. I need to go back and report to the main system. I'm leaving." Tuantuan listlessly finished leveling up Qiyun and then disappeared.

Qi Yun shook his head with amusement, opened the system panel, and looked at the rewards he had received after this upgrade:

1. 2000 square meters of new courtyards can be built.

2. Can open 12 shops

3. Two draws

4 points

5 pets

6 portals, 3 against 6 doors

Looking at the rewards, Qi Yun casually finished building the courtyard, unlocked all the items that could be unlocked, and upgraded the convenience store that could be upgraded. She planned to have Tuan Tuan come back to draw a prize for it, just to appease it. She put away the portal for future use, and then started choosing a pet.

Qi Yun began filtering pets on the system, wanting white ones with lots of fur, gentle yet capable of fighting. After much deliberation, she chose an enlarged version of a lion and named it Qi Mimi. Thus, a majestic male lion was named Mimi, which would become Mimi's lifelong pain.

Having chosen a pet, and nestled comfortably in its fur, I was preparing to replan the layout of the small yard when Qi Huan suddenly sent me a message:

"Boss, someone is causing trouble in the convenience store."

Qi Yun raised an eyebrow, changed into a gorgeous Hanfu, her long hair tied back with only a ribbon, turned sideways, sat on Mimi's lap, and headed to the convenience store.

"Ah..." Qi Yun's appearance drew screams. Qi Huan was also attracted by the screams. When he saw that it was Qi Yun, he ignored the people who were confronting each other and quickly walked to Qi Yun's side. He even subconsciously reached out his hand to support Qi Yun.

Qi Yun looked at the outstretched hand, stroked it, and got off Mimi. After Qi Yun got off, Qi Huan took a step back and stood to her right rear. Mimi, as Qi Yun had planned, ran to the spot where Qi Huan had been standing and lay down.

Qi Yun waited until Mimi was settled before slowly walking towards her. After straightening her skirt, she sat down on Mimi's lap. Qi Huan followed and stood behind Qi Yun.

"Speak, what happened?" Qi Yun said lazily.

"Boss, these guys teamed up to steal from the convenience store. They were stopped when they tried to leave, so they're causing trouble here."

"Oh, really?"

As soon as Qi Yun finished speaking, one of the middle-aged women among the troublemakers began her performance:

"What do you mean 'what ...'?' This is a black market business! We bought things, paid for them, and you won't let us leave. You've blocked us from leaving and accused us of stealing. There's no justice in this world!" The old woman sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing.

Hearing the old woman's cries, Qi Yun picked at her ear, interrupting her wailing:

"okay."

The old woman ignored him and continued wailing. Qi Yun, growing impatient, spoke again:

"I said, okay, shut up, don't make me say it a third time."

Hearing Qi Yun's icy voice, the middle-aged woman subconsciously fell silent.

"You're the one who said you didn't steal anything, right? You're saying my shop is a shady business, right? You're saying your employees are unreasonable, right?"

The woman felt a pang of guilt upon hearing the three questions, but remembering the things she had hidden, she stubbornly retorted:

"That's exactly what I said. So what? If you're accusing me of stealing, then show me some evidence. You're accusing us of stealing without any evidence and won't let us leave. What else is this but a shady business?" The older woman became more and more convinced of her own point, and her voice grew louder and louder.

"Are you sure? I'll give you a chance. If you admit it, that's fine. But it will be too late once I produce the evidence."

"Hmph, my son already said that your shop doesn't even have any security cameras, how could you possibly produce any evidence?" After saying this, the woman noticed the strange looks from the onlookers and realized she had misspoke. She quickly tried to explain herself:

"I said I didn't steal it, that's all. Stop with the nonsense and show me the evidence."

"Are you sure you don't want to admit it?"

“We didn’t do it, so what are we admitting?” the woman’s son retorted.

"Alright, I gave you a chance. If you don't cherish it, don't blame me." With that, Qi Yun raised her hand and a light screen appeared inside the convenience store.

The screen shows footage of this family stealing things, along with their conversation.

The group panicked instantly. The woman's son pushed through the crowd and tried to run out, but was bounced back at the door. He quickly got up, knelt before Qi Yun, and kowtowed repeatedly, apologizing profusely.

"Boss, I'm so sorry, it was all my mom's idea. I told her there were no security cameras in the shop, and she said since there were no cameras anyway, why spend money to buy them? We could save money and pay for a few more days' rent. Boss, please forgive me, I'm so sorry, so sorry." She kowtowed repeatedly.

The older woman next to her, seeing that her son had scolded her, didn't blame her son at all, but instead blamed Qi Yun. She rushed to her son's side, hugged him tightly, and glared at Qi Yun resentfully, shouting:

"What's wrong with giving us a little of what you have?"

"Heh, since you dared to steal, you must have been prepared to get caught. So, are you ready?"

With a wave of his hand, Qi Yun caused the family who had been stealing to vanish instantly, replaced by a large screen displaying their current predicament.

After hanging the screen at the entrance of the convenience store, Qi Yun spoke:

"You've all seen the consequences for these people. If you still have any ideas, be prepared that the next punishment will be even harsher than theirs."

After saying that, Qi Yun patted Mimi under her. Mimi slowly got up. When the people around saw Mimi get up, they subconsciously made way for her. Only after Qi Yun's figure disappeared did the people in the convenience store gather in twos and threes, buying things and talking about what they had just seen.

Qi Huan watched as the crowd dispersed and returned to his office.
