Chapter 145 Facing the World Outside the Abnormality Instance【Seeking Monthly Pass!】
"Uh...? Can I leave the hotel?" Mu Rufeng was stunned for a moment before he asked.
"I allow you to leave, naturally, you can. You have half an hour," Hua Wenliang said.
"Okay." Mu Rufeng didn't say much, pocketed the one thousand soul banknotes, and then walked out of the private room.
"You, go to the kitchen immediately and order some dishes, tell them to hurry up," Hua Wenliang then turned to Ouyang Li and instructed.
"Yes." Ouyang Li didn't dare stay in the private room any longer and left immediately.
"Hey, Manager Hua, that's not very noble of you. A thousand soul coins can't even buy a bottle of Feitian," Multi-eyes Gui spoke up.
"Haha, if this kid is lucky enough to come back, then he'll be an appetizer for President Wang," Hua Wenliang said, chuckling.
"Not bad," Multi-eyes Gui nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Wang, hurry up, take out my treasured Feitian," Hua Wenliang instructed the deputy manager, Wang Gen.
"Alright, Brother Hua, I'm on it," Wang Gen nodded repeatedly and then quickly left the private room.
"Bro, where did you get this batch of pork from? Give your brother some insider info."
At this moment, Multi-eyes Gui turned to Hua Wenliang and asked.
"Brother Wang, since you asked, naturally, I won't conceal it. Qingshan Pig Farm, you know it, right?" Hua Wenliang said.
"Qingshan Pig Farm? You mean your pork is from Qingshan Pig Farm?" Multi-eyes Gui frowned slightly.
"Previously, Qingshan Pig Farm also supplied us pork, and it wasn't bad, but it seems they changed the manager later on, and the quality dropped."
"A few months ago, we even received complaints from customers, so I stopped doing business with them."
"I heard that now Qingshan Pig Farm only supplies to some markets and individual buyers, oh, right, XiXi Preferred seems to be one of their clients," Multi-eyes Gui said.
"Sigh, speaking of which, I too was tricked, by Crimson Preferred no less," Nightmare Demon Gui sighed.
"Hmm? Crimson Preferred? How are they involved? Tell me more," Multi-eyes Gui instantly perked up upon hearing about Crimson Preferred.
Right away, Hua Wenliang recounted his transaction with the manager of Qingshan Pig Farm.
"Brother Wang, originally, the manager sold me all that pork at a low price."
"I had the people and trucks all ready, but when I got to the pig farm, all the pork had been taken away by people from Crimson Preferred," Hua Wenliang said angrily.
"That's what I thought, how Crimson Preferred suddenly came out with so much cheap pork recently, turns out it was like this," Multi-eyes Gui looked as if a light bulb had gone off in his head.
"But you said the pork was taken away by drivers from Crimson Preferred, so where is your pork from?" Multi-eyes Gui asked, puzzled.
"I was too furious, so I hijacked half a truck," Hua Wenliang said.
"That driver was tough; otherwise, I would have hijacked the whole truck," Hua Wenliang stated.
"Haha, bro, that's the way to do it. It's not a loss for you, getting dozens of pigs for free is a big win," Multi-eyes Gui laughed and said.
"Get rich together, get rich together."
...
Mu Rufeng was completely unaware of these conversations in the private room.
At this moment, he had already taken the elevator to the first floor.
"Scumbag, move aside, you're blocking the way."
The elevator had just opened, and before Mu Rufeng could step out, a voice came from the front.
Mu Rufeng looked up to see a Centipede Ghost with a centipede head.
"Exit before entering, don't you know that? Move aside," Mu Rufeng said coldly.
"You~~!"
The Centipede Ghost was about to rage, but saw Mu Rufeng had already taken out a butcher knife.
Seeing Mu Rufeng's strange attire and cold eyes, for some reason, the ghost shivered.
Daring not to say more, it actually moved aside, making way for him.
It was incredible that a mere Level 2 Contractor emitted the aura of a Level 5, intimidating him, a third-level Gui.
After exiting the elevator, Mu Rufeng arrived at the lobby.
Right then, he saw Zhao Youfeng receiving abnormal guests.
Mu Rufeng didn't pay much attention, went to the hotel's main door, and walked straight out.
This scene, however, caught Zhao Youfeng's attention.
"Hmm? Wasn't that guy upstairs? Why is he leaving the hotel now?"
"Never mind, never mind, it's not my business; I'll just see to the guests first," Zhao Youfeng decided to ignore it and went back to his own tasks.
"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you a waiter from the restaurant? How dare you leave during work hours?"
"Heh, today's lunch seems to have a pleasant surprise."
A tall and robust security ghost approached from a distance, with a grim smile on its face.
"Manager Hua Wenliang asked me to go out and buy wine," Mu Rufeng explained.
"Manager Hua?" The security ghost stopped in front of Mu Rufeng, looking at him skeptically.
"Of course, look, this is the money he gave me," Mu Rufeng said, showing the one thousand soul banknotes.
"Let me see that," the security ghost snatched the one thousand soul banknotes.
After a close look and a nod, he said, "Looks like Manager Hua did send you off, alright then, you better hurry."
The security ghost stuffed the soul banknotes back into Mu Rufeng's hands.
"I say, aren't you giving me too little?" Mu Rufeng looked at the five hundred soul banknotes left in his hand and spoke up.
This security ghost really had skin as thick as city walls; in the blink of an eye, half the amount was gone.
If it were just one or two banknotes missing, Mu Rufeng might have let it slide; after all, he wasn't short on cash, and he could have treated it as a toll fee.
But damn it, they took half. Mu Rufeng couldn't tolerate that.
"Hm? What's the big deal? It's just 500. Hurry up and scram," the security ghost said impatiently, waving his hand.
Mu Rufeng shook his head, didn't say a word, and stealthily activated his ghostly powers without notice.
Instantly, Mu Rufeng reached out and nonchalantly pulled out an electric baton from the waist of the security ghost.
[Security guard's electric baton]: An electric baton that only wants to discharge electricity, please be aware, I don't want to be placed in weird places.
Effect: Press the switch to release a strong electric current, capable of instantly paralyzing Level 5 and below.
Note: When the indicator light turns red, it means the battery is almost dead, remember to charge it!
Mu Rufeng had previously obtained an electric baton from a security guard at Qingshan Pig Farm.
The attributes were almost identical; it's just that the previous baton was a Level 3 Item.
This electric baton was clearly much stronger, as it was a Level 5 item.
Mu Rufeng put away the electric baton and then walked briskly towards the parking lot gate.
Meanwhile, the security ghost turned around and walked towards the other side, unaware that his electric baton had been taken by Mu Rufeng.
Soon, Mu Rufeng arrived at the entrance of the hotel's outdoor parking lot.
That was where the automatic rising arm barrier was located.
Just as Mu Rufeng was about to pass through the middle, a security guard from the guardhouse called out to him.
"Stop right there, hehehe, a waiter? Looks like I'm in for a treat today."
Mu Rufeng paused, looked at the security guard and said, "I'm getting liquor, Manager Hua sent me, and if I'm delayed, it's on you."
"Manager Hua?" the security guard gave Mu Rufeng a skeptical glance.
"Forget it, scram," the security ghost said waving his hand without making much of a fuss.
Mu Rufeng then walked out from the middle of the barrier.
Ahead there was a fog, but as soon as Mu Rufeng stepped out, the fog dissipated.
"Beep beep beep~~~!"
Not far away on the road, there came the sound of car horns.
Plenty of cars were driving on the road.
On the sidewalk, there were also many odd creatures wandering about.
As soon as Mu Rufeng appeared, he instantly attracted the attention of those abnormal creatures.
"A living person?"
"A contractor? Is it a living contractor?"
In an instant, the eyes of those creatures became extremely greedy.
Mu Rufeng surveyed his surroundings with an uneasiness in his heart.
It wasn't that he feared these creatures, but he was astonished by the sight before him.
Skyscrapers, bustling traffic, a ceaseless stream of wandering oddities.
This mysterious world truly seemed like a real one.
At this moment, one aspect of the Mysterious World unveiled itself before Mu Rufeng.
"Bandage, emit some blood scent to cover up my popularity, would you?" Mu Rufeng suddenly muttered.
The next second, a faint blood scent emanated from the bandage, carrying with it a slight stench.
At the same time, Mu Rufeng unleashed a presence comparable to a Level 5 spirit.
Those odd creatures about to make a move each froze in place, with looks of alarm and confusion as they stared at Mu Rufeng.
"The scent of a living person is gone."
"Contractor? It's clearly a Level 5 Fierce Ghost."
"That was close, so close. I didn't make a move, otherwise I would have been doomed."
"Let's go, let's go. There must have been a contractor devoured by this senior, leaving behind the scent of a living person."
Those creatures nearby promptly scattered, not daring to provoke Mu Rufeng in the slightest.
"Quite nice," Mu Rufeng commented with satisfaction as he patted the bandage.
Then, Mu Rufeng took out his phone, trying to record a video of this place.
As the original camera system was not functional, Mu Rufeng wasn't bothered and instead accessed the Ghost System.
Sure enough, with the system switched, the Ghost Camera could video everything without any hindrance.
This world outside of the peculiar instances must hold great research value.
Recording some, and uploading it to the relevant departments—rewards aside—this would definitely aid their research efforts.
Only that there was just half an hour, otherwise, Mu Rufeng would have loved to thoroughly explore this eerie world.
Speaking of which, he didn't really believe what Hua Wenliang had said.
He did not believe that just because Hua Wenliang said so, he could actually leave the hotel.
It was also because the will of the hotel rules had descended that Mu Rufeng realized he could indeed leave the Blood Chamber Hotel.
Otherwise, even if Hua Wenliang had promised him the moon, Mu Rufeng would never have considered leaving the hotel.
"By the way, where is the Moutai specialty store?" Suddenly, Mu Rufeng felt perplexed.
He seemed to have forgotten to ask where the Moutai store was. All he knew was that it was five miles from the Blood Chamber Hotel, but was it to the left or to the right?
