Picking up a girl

When walking out of the airport, Jian Sheng thought for a bit and chose the 2nd option. Since he could get a skill, it means that it might be quite hard but a skill might come in useful in the future when more dangerous missions were released.

After Jian Sheng chose the 2nd option, the mission panel changed.

Jian Sheng looked through it and complained to the system. "Why is there suddenly a failure column? I didn't hear anything about this? This is a scam!"

[Host, do you really think you'll get away scot-free if you fail? High return comes with high risk. A mission will always come with a failure column. No matter how safe or dangerous the mission is, failure will always lead to a punishment. This is not tyranny, this is education. This is how the world should educate children. With a carrot and a stick. Not with just cake and cookies.]

Jian Sheng did an eye roll and said "That might work before but not now. That is something called child abuse according to those people from Eagle Country. Maybe that's why there are so many young people spraying guns around in school."

[Anyway, the host must complete the mission within the time limit, or else the punishment will follow. So do well and complete the mission with all your might. In some missions, the system will not talk to you when you are doing the mission. This is to ensure the host can focus solely on the mission.]

After about 30 minutes, the taxi reached the hotel. Jian Sheng transferred the money to the driver and took his things down from the taxi. After all his belongings were taken down from the taxi, the driver got in and swiftly drove away.

Jian Sheng took his stuff and walked into the hotel. The floor was carpeted, the chandelier on the ceiling was nice, the smell of old buildings was there, and there's a beautiful lady at the front desk.

'She looks nice. White? Caucasian? European? Well, they all mostly look the same to me. It's just like how most Asians look the same to them. But still, I know for a fact that she is considered a beauty.' A panel appeared when Jian Sheng was looking at the front desk staff.

_________________________________________

'What the heck?! 28 but already divorced? Which idiot let go of such a pretty sister?' Jian Sheng thought that her ex should be struck by lightning for letting go of this pretty lady.

He walked towards the front desk and walked to the lady. He put his things down and said to her, "Hello, I would like to check-in please."

The lady smiled a business smile and asked, "Do you have a reservation, sir?"

Jian Sheng shook his head. "No, I don't. Will there be a problem?"

The lady smiled and click on the keyboard, a few seconds later, she looked up with a smile and said to Jian Sheng. "No problem. We still have rooms available. For how many nights will you be with us, sir?"

Jian Sheng said, "2 days please.".

The lady nodded and typed into the keyboard. "I will need your identification card or passport to register you, sir." Jian Sheng nodded and gave her his passport.

The passport was from the system. His old passport could not be used anymore since his face has changed. He used to have a temporary residence card in Queens Country. Now, he's using a passport from Hua Country.

The lady looked surprised when she took the passport. "Oh, from Hua Country. It's been a long time since someone from Hua Country came to our hotel. I've been to Hua Country once and the food there was amazing. I will also need your credit card, sir. Are you here on vacation with someone?" The lady started some small talk while typing on the keyboard.

The system suddenly sounded. [Host, the system will issue the expenses needed to the card in your back pocket. Please use it wisely.]

Jian Sheng took a black card from his back pocket, gave it to her and said, "Nah, I'm here alone. I used to have a girlfriend, and this trip was supposed to be our date. But I found out recently that she actually had other boyfriends besides me and she was actually just hoodwinking me. She was so sweet to me as well. I guess you should never judge a book by its cover huh?"

The lady nodded and look sympathetically at Jian Sheng and said smiling, "Don't worry. You're quite handsome. I'm sure she will regret doing it soon."

Jian Sheng put on a melancholy face and said to her, "Maybe. I just wished someone told me about it before I invested more feelings into the relationship. Even just doubts or hints would have been fine."

The lady seemed to be in deep thought after hearing what Jian Sheng said. Jian Sheng looked at her for a while and call out to her, "Miss, did your boyfriend cheat on you too? The look you have now looked like how I looked when I first found out."

The lady looked up and smiled. She wiped away a small tear by her eye and said "Sorry, I should not be talking about these things with a customer. Here is the key to your room. Your room is 443. Dinner will be from 1800 to 2000. Breakfast will be from 0500 until 0930. You can call room service at any time."

Jian Sheng took the key card and his passport. "Thanks. Sorry I made you thought of some sad memories. It's just that he must have something wrong with his brain to leave such a pretty lady." He smiled and kept his passport.

The lady blushed and held out her hand for a handshake, "My name's Jane. It's not the first time someone tried to pick me up, but it's the first time I don't feel disgusted. Let's talk more if there is a chance Mr. Lin."

Jian Sheng took her hand and kissed the back of her hand. "Sure. I would love that. I'll give you my number. You can call me when your shift has ended and want someone to talk to."

Jian Sheng took a notebook out from his bag, tore a piece of paper, wrote his phone number, and gave it to Jane.

Jian Sheng took his bags and walk towards the lift. There was an elderly doorman was inside and asked Jian Sheng what floor he would like to go to. Jian Sheng told the elderly doorman his floor and thank him. The doorman smiled and press the button.

Inside the lift, there was only Jian Sheng and the doorman. Jian Sheng looked at the doorman but no panel appeared. He felt it was quite strange but did not think too much about it.

The lift reached the 4th floor after a few seconds and Jian Sheng took his belongings and walked out. The elderly doorman suddenly spoke to Jian Sheng.

"Kid, It's better to stay indoors and not run around after midnight. There are stories of guests seeing strange things around the hotel after midnight. Anyways, enjoy your stay with us." The elderly doorman gave Jian Sheng a smile while the door of the lift slowly closed.

For some reason, Jian Sheng felt a chill after he heard what the elderly doorman said. He looked at the closed lift door for a while then turned and walked towards his room. Not noticing the number indicated on top of the lift was at the ground level even before the lift door closed.
