My cross-dimensional black market shop has a 100% return rate.

Luo Zhuang looked up and saw a girl in ancient costume enter through the doorway at some point.

The girl wore a light purple cross-collar ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with several clusters of fine silver orchids embroidered on the cuffs. A bulging blue cloth bundle was slung over her thin shoulder, which seemed out of place with the elegance of her clothes.

She was stunningly beautiful, but her face was thin, her complexion was pale, and her lips were very pale. Only her eyes were incredibly bright.

She seemed somewhat startled at the moment, her slender fingers gripping the thin strap of the bundle tightly, her knuckles taut and pale, and the blue veins on the back of her fair hands were clearly visible.

Good heavens, the customer has actually arrived!

"I'm sorry to bother you, shopkeeper..."

The girl spoke timidly. She looked around, seemingly a little frightened by the unfamiliar and strange scene, but still tried her best to maintain a poised and graceful demeanor.

Luo Zhuang was certain that his eyes were not seeing things and his ears were not malfunctioning; everything before his eyes had truly happened.

This "Multidimensional Hotel Management System" on the computer is probably a cheat code that suddenly appeared. Right now, it's possible that only I have seen it, and my parents don't know about it.

Otherwise, they would either tell me about it or remind me not to touch the front desk computer; they would never remain silent.

I never imagined that the plot of a novel would one day happen to me.

The golden opportunity has arrived; luck is on its way, and it might even happen today!

Luo Zhuang quickly adjusted his mindset, wondering if this system's cheat ability was something only he could see? Should he find someone to test it out?

However, he immediately dismissed the idea.

Such an important secret must not be exposed in the slightest.

Even if he never knows the answer, he cannot let others see any clues.

He checked the computer as quickly as possible, first confirming that it was in standalone mode, then clearing the software's desktop icons and Start Menu icons, hiding the software directories, and encrypting the hidden areas and the computer system. Only then did he stand up and say enthusiastically:

"No need to bother you, no need to bother you. What type of room would you like? A double room or a standard room? Would you like one with a window?"

As he asked the question, he glanced at the multi-dimensional hotel management system again and noticed a change in the "Guest Reception" interface—

The collected Crimson Pearl Medicine Pouches have been converted into 500 System Coins. Both the standard room and double room options now show 1 System Coin per day. 500 System Coins is enough for someone to stay at this inn for over a year.

He actually asked unnecessary questions about whether the rooms should have windows, since he hadn't even seen the rooms in his own guesthouse yet. But according to the system, the rooms here only have two rows, one in front and one behind, and all of them have windows.

As for the two taels of silver, he checked and found that it could be converted into one system coin. One tael of silver wasn't even enough for one system coin.

The bottom-of-the-box item is +5 system coins, so it must be quite exquisite and worth more than silver.

The girl seemed frightened by the completely different environment from ancient times, and spoke somewhat hesitantly.

She did not answer Luo Zhuang's question.

In that short time, she had already scanned the entire lobby out of the corner of her eye.

A wooden reception desk, a modern black and white coffee table, an exquisitely designed and uniquely styled off-white sofa, and a hollow bookshelf filled with books...

Everything felt utterly unfamiliar to her, and she was somewhat panicked.

She couldn't help but become cautious and asked, "Shopkeeper, I am Hua Hengyue. I was resting at home when I suddenly heard a voice from beyond the heavens, which instructed me to exchange some things for the opportunity to come here."

"This humble woman...this humble woman suddenly found herself here...is this the realm of immortals? Or is this humble woman already dead?"

It seems she knew what was going on and proactively chose to exchange her belongings. However, the modern inn was completely unfamiliar to the girl from ancient times, making her somewhat uneasy.

Therefore, she even felt that she might be dead.

According to the description in the Jiangzhu Medicine Pouch, Hua Hengyue was frail and sickly, so it was normal for her to feel that she was already dead.

Luo Zhuang immediately flashed what he considered to be an extremely kind smile and said, "Don't worry, this is not the afterlife. You can think of this as an inn in the heavens, or as another time and space."

In short, this place appeared in your world because it sensed your desire to escape.

You can put everything aside for a while and stay here peacefully to rest. No one will disturb you during this time.

The girl named Hua Hengyue paused for a moment, then lowered her head slightly, her eyelids drooping, as if she were weighing her options and deep in thought.

After a moment, she seemed to accept this somewhat bizarre explanation, looked up at Luo Zhuang, and even changed her form of address: "Thank you, Immortal Master."

She seemed relieved, and spoke four words, opening her mouth but hesitating to speak.

She glanced back at her; the sunlight outside fell on her, making her slender body seem to radiate light, and her pale skin appeared almost transparent, as if the light had seeped into it.

It's actually quite pretty.

"I never imagined that I, a young woman, would have such an encounter. It is fortunate that I have escaped this cage. If I can truly find some peace and quiet here and rest for a while, even if I were to die here, it would not have been in vain."

Hua Hengyue turned back, pursed her lips, and said to Luo Zhuang.

So sad...

Luo Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about life or death. You have two sachets. You paid for the room with one, and you keep the other with you. It shouldn't be a problem for your health, right?"

"Um."

Hua Hengyue nodded.

Luo Zhuang said, "Then why be so down? Just live well. There's a TV in the room, and some books for leisure reading. Or if you don't want to watch any of those, you can go outside to the yard to sunbathe. Nobody will bother you."

From now on, you will have complete freedom every day you stay here.

He immediately took it upon himself to book a double room for Hua Hengyue, and with the room key in hand, led Hua Hengyue upstairs to the room.

Hua Hengyue followed Luo Zhuang cautiously, looking around as she walked, curious and unfamiliar with everything.

When Luo Zhuang opened the room door and inserted the room card into the card switch, the warm light that suddenly turned on made Hua Hengyue's eyes widen.

She became more and more convinced that this place truly was a celestial inn, a place where immortals lived.

But... how could she, a weak woman living under someone else's roof, have come to this place where immortals live?

But are my parents protecting me from heaven?

Thinking of her deceased parents, Hua Hengyue felt a lump in her throat and quickly stopped her thoughts.

The guest rooms are decorated in a natural wood style, with wooden floors, wooden beds, wooden tables and chairs, and the sofa in the corner has a natural wood frame. The sheets and duvet covers on the beds are all pure white.

This was Luo Zhuang's first time visiting a guest room. After taking a quick look, he turned to Hua Hengyue and said, "The sheets and duvet covers are clean, and the mattress is a latex mattress. It should be more comfortable than yours. Try it yourself later."

"Yes, thank you, Immortal Master."

As Hua Hengyue thanked her, her gaze fell on the bed sheets and duvet cover.

She had no idea about latex mattresses, but she thought the fabric was incredibly white.

She had seen many white things, but she had never seen everything on the bed white. However, this was, after all, a celestial realm, and it was normal for it to be different from the mortal world.

The white she had ever seen was tinged with yellow and warm tones, or tinged with bluish-gray. Never before had a white been so cold, so clean and pure.

The immortal told her to sleep on this bed, but looking at the pure white, she couldn't bear to sit down.

"Click—"

Luo Zhuang bent down and pressed the switch on the bedside lamp, and the lights in the room immediately went out. The curtains were drawn, blocking out too much light, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness, startling Hua Hengyue.

Hua Hengyue shuddered and looked around. Then she heard a "click" and the light above her head came back on. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

"This is a switch to control the light. Press it once to turn it off, and press it again to turn it on. There's also one by the door; it can be controlled in both directions. Try it."

After Luo Zhuang finished explaining and demonstrating, he made way for Hua Hengyue so that she could try it.

Hua Hengyue walked to the bedside, still so careful, and leaned down to gently touch the switch with her finger, pressing it nervously.

"Click—"

The lights went out, and it was pitch black.

This time, however, as she touched the switch, she felt more confident and was no longer as afraid as before.

"Click—"

She pressed it again.

The lights came back on.

She found it even more unbelievable.

In this celestial realm, there are lights but no fire, yet they are so bright; they can be lit and extinguished so easily, as if by celestial magic.

How could I, a weak mortal woman who accidentally wandered into the realm of immortals, possibly master magic?

This must be a special convenience arranged for me by a celestial being who takes pity on me, a mere mortal...

I absolutely mustn't let my mind wander, and I dare not speak carelessly, lest the immortal make a fool of himself.

Thinking of this, she withdrew her hand and gently bowed to Luo Zhuang, saying, "Thank you, Immortal Master."

Luo Zhuang didn't know what Hua Hengyue was thanking him for, but he didn't care. He waved his hand and introduced the next item.

He picked up the TV remote from the box above the bedside table, pointed to the TV on the opposite wall, and said, "This is the TV. Use this remote to control it. Press the red button at the top to turn it on. The people inside will move. You can treat it like watching a show."

Why don't you try it yourself?

Hua Hengyue thanked the immortal again, took the remote control from Luo Zhuang, and tried pressing the red button. The TV screen then turned off.

Press it again, and the screen lights up again.

She looked at the colorful interface on the TV screen and thought that the text on it seemed to be a neat version of cursive script, which was easy to understand and less tiring on the eyes, making it much more comfortable to look at.

I just don't know what "my apps," "anime," "movies," "TV series," and "variety shows" all mean.

The figures painted on it are so lifelike, it's as if real people have been locked inside.

These people were strangely dressed, both men and women, with fair and smooth skin without a single blemish, which was truly unbelievable.

Perhaps... this is what a true immortal looks like...

Hua Hengyue subconsciously glanced at Luo Zhuang, thinking that the immortal was not so clean-cut, he must be wearing a disguise.

Luo Zhuang then opened the curtains and said, "These curtains block out light quite well. It's still daytime, so it'll be dark inside if you close them. You can take a nap during the day without any problem. You can turn off the lights now."

Hua Hengyue turned off the light as instructed, glanced out the window, and was once again filled with disbelief at the sight of the windowpane.

How precious must the crystal glass on the window be...?

But in this celestial realm, such glass is used everywhere.

Everything, upstairs and downstairs, is so clean and transparent; I didn't even notice it when I was downstairs just now...

With such windows and such a bright room, how relaxing and pleasant it would be to sit here and read a book.

Hua Hengyue felt a pang of emotion.

Luo Zhuang then proceeded to introduce the next item: "A kettle. You pour water in, like this, like this, press here, and it will boil water."

Thinking he could demonstrate, he picked up a bottle of mineral water that was next to him, opened it, poured the water into the kettle, and explained it to Hua Hengyue as he demonstrated.

Hua Hengyue listened to the sound of the kettle heating mineral water and couldn't help but want to find where the fire was, but she felt that her idea was too ignorant.

Just now the lamp was lit without fire, so why should we need fire to boil water now?

If I can't even figure this out myself, and I still want to ask the immortal, I'm afraid I'll really be laughed at by the immortal.

So she kept quiet, watching the steam rise from the kettle and the boiling water make a "gurgling" sound. She was amazed, but said nothing.

Luo Zhuang picked up the cup on the table, went to the bathroom, turned on the tap to rinse it, and then explained to Hua Hengyue, "You can wash up here. Just turn on the tap. Come on, try it."

"Um."

Hua Hengyue agreed and went over to imitate Luo Zhuang, flipping the faucet switch twice, turning it on and off. Seeing the water rushing out and splashing white water droplets, she thought to herself that the water and fire here were as easy to control as her own arms, which was really convenient.

"I've already opened and prepared your toothbrush and toothpaste. You can figure out how to use them when you're washing up. If you don't understand, just ask me."

There's also hand sanitizer, which you can squeeze out with one press; and shampoo, which you can put in the bathroom, you can just press it out.

The tap turns hot water to the left and cold water to the right; you can adjust it to your liking when washing up.

Luo Zhuang then demonstrated as he spoke, adjusting the water temperature and squeezing out some hand sanitizer to wash his hands.

Hua Hengyue immediately smelled the fragrance of the hand sanitizer and really wanted to try it herself, but she was afraid that Luo Zhuang would laugh at her, so she held back for now and said, "Thank you, Immortal Master."

"Go to the toilet here, that is, use the toilet, you should understand, right? After you're done, press here, and the toilet will flush clean itself."

As for meals, I prepare them downstairs for all three meals a day.

"Since you paid for the room with such an important item as the Crimson Pearl Medicine Pouch, I can't let you suffer a loss. I won't charge you for the meal; you can come down and eat later."

Luo Zhuang gave a final demonstration of how to use the toilet, said a few words, and then took his leave.

Hua Hengyue looked at the equally cold, clean ceramic toilet and found it hard to believe that it was actually a toilet for use.

But seeing how serious Luo Zhuang was, and that he didn't seem to be joking, she had no choice but to believe him.

As Luo Zhuang pressed the flush button, the water in the toilet swirled rapidly, the "glug" sound disappeared, and then new water flowed out. She probably understood what was going on.

The immortals' abilities have allowed even a mortal like me to control water and fire, making things so convenient—truly remarkable.

She nodded in admiration and said, "Thank you, Immortal Master."

Luo Zhuang smiled slightly, turned around as he went out, and said, "Come find me downstairs if you need anything. Remember to pick up your room key when you leave. Have a good rest."
