Chapter 8: Master Hotel Bed Maker
Changing the old sheets and duvet covers, dragging out the mattress, tucking in the bed corners, putting on the duvet and pillowcases, arranging the bed runner...
"Ding! Bed-making experience +1!"
"Ding! Bed-making experience +1!"
As Chen Jianhai continuously replaced sheets and tidied beds in each room, the system's experience notifications kept ringing.
Chen Jianhai was having a blast!
This method of continuously gaining experience points made the bed-making task incredibly enjoyable for him!
With this kind of feedback, the monotonous task of making beds felt like an upgrade game, filled with a sense of achievement.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing bed-making 100 times, gaining +100 experience points. Bed-making proficiency has greatly improved."
"Congratulations to the host for earning the title of 'Professional Bed Maker.'"
Hearing the system's words, Chen Jianhai paused slightly.
"A title?"
Chen Jianhai looked at the system panel, and the mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
"Professional Bed Maker: Your bed-making actions are considered textbook examples.
"Strict standards and habits make 'professional' permeate every detail of the bed, reducing bed-making time by 100%."
Immediately,
Chen Jianhai felt a burst of clarity in his mind,
with knowledge about bed-making he had never learned or seen before, appearing out of nowhere.
Even many details he had never noticed were now clearly presented before him, giving him an enlightening sense of clarity.
It felt like, a month before the college entrance exam,
an expert had broken down all the content of "Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Simulations" and filled it into his mind.
From then on, he could instantly answer any question he saw.
"I wonder what my bed-making looks like now."
Chen Jianhai couldn't contain his excitement and ran to another guest room.
Changing the old sheets and duvet covers, dragging out the mattress, tucking in the bed corners, putting on the duvet and pillowcases, arranging the bed runner...
The same steps.
But Chen Jianhai could clearly feel that his hands seemed to have undergone millions of repetitions,
moving fluidly,
with each action resembling textbook standard positions, exuding the rigor and precision of a professional.
All the flaws and details he had previously overlooked were now magnified, clearly visible!
Previously, it took Chen Jianhai 10 minutes to make a bed, but now it only took 5 minutes.
The texture of the bedding, refined down to every flat corner of the bed,
made the entire bed look fluffy and tidy,
making one reluctant to lie down and ruin its neatness.
"Did I make this?"
Chen Jianhai couldn't believe that such a perfect bed was made by him.
"Ding. Bed-making experience +1!"
Still?!!!
Chen Jianhai was shocked.
A new progress bar appeared in his mind.
"It can still level up?!!"
"What's the next level after professional bed-making??"
Chen Jianhai's curiosity and the fire of leveling up burned brightly within him!
His eyes were fervent.
"I need to keep making beds!"
Chen Jianhai wasted no time, turning and running to another room.
"Ding. Bed-making experience +1!"
"Ding. Bed-making experience +1!"
"Ding. Bed-making experience +1!"
...
The sounds kept ringing in his ears.
Though he was tired, the sense of leveling up made him feel incredibly fulfilled!
After who knows how long, the system's voice rang out again:
"Ding!"
"The host has completed bed-making 100 times, gaining +100 experience points. Bed-making proficiency has greatly improved."
"Congratulations to the host for earning the title of 'Master Bed Maker.'"
"Master Bed Maker: Your bed-making skills far surpass professional standards, known as 'Elegant Art.'
"In professionalism, it more closely aligns with the psychological comfort and sleeping needs of guests, showcasing humanized service details everywhere."
"The hotel... starts to feel like home."
Instantly,
Chen Jianhai felt a cool sensation flooding his brain, feeling extremely comfortable.
He closed his eyes, enjoying the coolness.
When he opened his eyes again, subtle changes were evident in Chen Jianhai.
A professional and scrutinizing gaze added a touch of reserved elegance to his demeanor.
"Why does this bed look so cold?"
He looked down at the bed in front of him, frowning slightly.
The bed looked like a meticulously crafted, seamless machine, rather than a place for rest.
"Here... and here..."
"Too stiff."
Chen Jianhai bent down, rearranging a few spots on the bed.
Just a few simple adjustments, but it was like adding the finishing touch, instantly making the bed feel warm.
It made one want to dive in and lie down.
"Yes, this is much better."
Chen Jianhai looked at the bed with satisfaction.
"I wonder if I can still get rewards for making beds now..."
Addicted to leveling up, Chen Jianhai couldn't resist running to the next room's bed.
Ordinary bed-making actions, in his hands, exuded elegance, demonstrating professionalism and precision effortlessly.
"Ding. Bed-making experience +1!"
Wow!
There were still rewards.
Looking at the experience bar in his mind, Chen Jianhai was delighted.
...
Two hours later.
Chen Jianhai, with sore teeth, looked at the half-filled experience bar in his mind,
feeling a sense of anxiety and unease.
He had made all the beds in the hotel...
"The experience bar is at +40 now, needing 60 more beds to level up. But Lang Ai Hotel only has 240 beds in total!"
He tried redoing the previous beds, but the system had no reaction.
This feeling, for an upgrade enthusiast and collector, was a tormenting disaster!
He let out a deep sigh.
"Well, never mind."
"When the hotel makes money, I'll expand and buy new beds."
After comforting himself, Chen Jianhai grabbed a broom and cloth, starting to clean the guest rooms.
"Ding, room cleaning experience +1!"
???!
Chen Jianhai dropped the cloth in his hand.
Even cleaning could gain experience?!
Then why didn't he clean each room while gaining double experience?
Instead of going through it all over again!
This was just messing with him!!!
Boss Chen was frustrated.
...
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing room cleaning 100 times, gaining +100 experience points. Cleaning proficiency has greatly improved."
"Congratulations to the host for earning the title of 'Professional Cleaner.'"
...
A few hours later,
"Whew!"
"Professional Cleaner" Chen Jianhai collapsed on the sofa.
He had cleaned all 140 rooms in the hotel, inside and out, spotless.
"Darn it... the cleaning experience bar is also at +40, needing to clean 60 more rooms to level up. But Lang Ai Hotel only has 140 rooms."
Looking at the two half-filled experience bars in his mind,
Chen Jianhai painfully chose to ignore them.
