Chapter 281 – Florida Man Starts New Hotel Business, Forgets to Hire Employees

For the past 15 days, Leo either spent time monitoring the refugees or trained in his dantian universe. But as the situation calmed down, Leo shifted his attention to the mountain of spirit stones, which Lucky and Meowmeow had looted from the spaceships. Everything was stored in the junkyard, waiting for Leo to sort them.

Lucky and Meowmeow collected over 500,000 spatial rings from the divine elf's spaceships. Inside the rings contained useful items, soul stones, essence stones, and random herbs. However, 70% of the items were nonsense junk, such as leaf gums, anti-viagra pills, skin lotion, and cosmetic creams.

Leo wanted to stop time and sort everything. However, the time domain could only pause the time flow within a star system or a galaxy depending on Leo's seriousness. Using it too frequently might affect Leo's system domain. After all, the system wasn't affected by the power of time.

As the population grew, managing the domain got complicated. Thankfully, his 'free' laborers were competent.

While Leo was at wit's end, Meowmeow sent a platoon of his elf wives to the junkyard. These girls had been turned into golems, and their cultivation bases increased by a major realm. The immortal elf evolved into 'stone' elf deities.

The elves received direct orders from Meowmeow. They approached the backpacks of spatial rings and started ejecting items out. Unhesitatingly, they threw away all common consumable items that high elves used – Creams and cosmetic items.

With a thousand helpers, Leo was overjoyed. However, the surprises didn't end.

A thousand undead skeletons formed a patrolling army. They watched over the farms and chased away the remnant high elves, who attempted to steal the crops. A few molgs and death knights under Esen followed the army around and supervised them if necessary.

"So many GREAT ASSETS of the company, me like!" He bet a certain space company would also approve this.

As things were automatically organized, it was time for Leo to clear another urgent matter at hand – His official wedding. As this matter was related to the morals of his people and his reputation, he needed to do this carefully.

Leo thought of his facilities in the shopping mall. He wondered where he should hold the wedding ceremony. A few seconds after he fell into a deep thought, he smacked his forehead.

He had money – YOL. He could solve everything with cash!

'Can I buy a freaking pre-made resource from the freaking online shopping system?'

Inspired, Leo checked the system shop. He wasn't disappointed. As soon as Leo put the keyword 'Wedding' into the search box, several item icons appeared in the menu.

The items ranged from a readymade garden to luxurious spaceship colonies.

Leo looked at the price. Then, his expression turned dark.

The cheapest garden was only 1,000 YOL as it provided nothing but decorations. However, the acceptable ones, such as a transformable 5-star hotel resort truck, cost a whopping 10 million YOL. This didn't include their upgrade fees.

Leo counted his fingers and sighed. "Oh, boy. Should I just stick to RVs? But we don't have a proper hotel around here. Should I make one? Meh, 170 million YOL is nothing. I can get them back in a jiffy."

He settled with a premade transformable construction vehicle, which could transform into a 5-star hotel resort. Although it was upgradable, it couldn't provide perks and employees like the usual system buildings. Fortunately, Leo could build it anywhere or repack it like C&C headquarters bases any time.

DING

A moderate-sized spaceship, 500m long, 100m wide, and 10m tall manifested from thin air. It slowly descended and landed at the Tang Clan's resident district.

Leo followed the spaceship to its landing site. When it landed, it automatically transformed into a luxurious 30-story tall grand resort hotel.

Looking at it from the front, it resembled the US Parliament House because of its unique architecture. However, its bright yellowish LED light, maze garden, and fountain pool inherited the Las Vegas style.

Sandwiching the parliament-looking building at the center was a fortress-like L-shaped building. Its height was twice as tall, but every room featured a balcony with a personal swimming pool!

Leo gulped and checked the description of the purchased item on the shopping menu. He was curious about what he had just bought.

Mobile Construction Vehicle (Rizzler Resort)

Level: 1/17

Upgrade Fee: 10,000,000 years of lifespan.

This vehicle can transform into a Rizzler Class resort, which is equivalent to a 4-star hotel according to Fate Stadium's standard. The hotel features a total of 1,000 luxurious suites, 10 grand suites, and 10 president suites for VVVIP guests. It comes with most basic facilities, such as restaurants, bars, nightclubs, theatres, casinos, fitness centers, meeting halls, cultivation rooms, spas, brothels, and many more.

Please note. This item does not come with workers, food, or cultivation resources.

.

Leo wryly smiled. He spent 160 million YOL and upgraded it to the soft cap level. Then, he waited for the building to change.

"…"

Nothing happened.

Leo shrugged and entered the building to inspect the interior. He understood that nothing might have changed from the outside, but a lot should have evolved inside.

He wasn't disappointed. As Leo had experienced, everything inside exceeded Leo's expectations.

Mobile Construction Vehicle (Rizzler Resort)

Level: 17/17

This vehicle can transform into a Rizzler Class resort, which is equivalent to a 5-star hotel according to Fate Stadium's standard. The hotel features a total of 17,000 luxurious suites, 170 grand suites, and 70 presidential suites for VVVIP guests. The hotel comes with state-of-the-art facilities suitable for aspired cultivators under the entity realm.

Please note. This hotel automatically generates basic food, water, liquor, and electricity. However, it doesn't provide cultivation resources.

The lobby was as large as an airport terminal in capital cities. Signboards showed a different section and different facilities, including various reception counters.

Leo rubbed his hands and walked into the building to explore his new toy.

RUMBLE

The new building caused a commotion in the Tang Clan's manor. Many clansmen rushed out to scout the perimeter, and they instantly found a massive hotel a kilometer away to the east of their location.

The hotel covered a span of 50 square kilometers. Gardens, sports facilities, running tracks, a golf course, a water park, and a theme park took 30% of the land. 10% belonged to the massive swimming pool with stone bridges and bar islands. As for the rest, the hotel buildings covered the terrain.

The large building shocked the clansmen. Fortunately, they had heard and seen Leo's system buildings before. Everybody concluded that it was the work of Leo once more.

The clansmen returned to their clan lords. However, both Tang Xuan and Tang Tian were still in seclusion. The news reached Bao Xun instead.

Bao Xun rushed out of his home to see the hotel with his eyes. He arrived in front of the hotel's entrance and gawked at the massive structure.

"As expected of Lord Florida Man! Tsk. I need to gain his favor this time."

Guessing that Leo might be inside, Bao Xun mustered his courage and was about to enter the building.

TAP-TAP

However, he wasn't the only one who gathered around this place to play. Behind him, a bored dryad and two elderly women arrived. The naught monster girl poked Bao Xun's shoulder.

"Nom-Nom Meow?" (Mister. Do you have any fertilizer?)

"Huh? What?"

Bao Xun turned around. Then, he found Cat, Xu Nuan, and Dongfang Mei.

Dongfang Mei had been cultivating. After several days of hard work, she reached the Star Celestial Stage, aka the 3rd stage of the immortal realm. Xu Nuan also reached the 2nd immortal stage. As for Cat, ate her way to the 5th immortal stage naturally! Moreover, her physical prowess was already comparable to a 5-star deity.

The physical appearances of the two female elders also changed drastically. Dongfang Mei was natural as she mastered an age reversal technique – She looked like a mature lady in her mid-20s. As for Xu Nuan, her physical age decreased because of her cultivation base. At the moment, she looked like a 40-year-old aunt. As for Cat, she was still a usual pretty dark elf brat.

Suddenly confronting three experts of Leo's faction, Bao Xun shrieked in fright. He deeply bowed.

"G-Greetings, senior. I didn't know that you were interested in this building as well."

"At ease," Dongfang Mei laughed. She gazed at the interior of the hotel. "I guess Lord Florida Man surprises us again. What is he building this time?"

"I-I don't know. Would you like to check inside with me?"

Dongfang Mei shook her head. She gestured for Xu Nuan and Cat to stay outside.

"Let's wait until he gives us further instructions. He might be busy decorating or tampering with the building from the inside. If we suddenly interrupt his work, he might be very angry."

Bao Xun came to his senses, "You're right, senior. I-I almost offended the lord."

"Good. Let's wait here together. You're curious too, right?"

"Y-Yes."

The group stood at the entrance of the hotel, waiting for Leo to come out.

Meanwhile, many disciples, commoners, and rogue cultivators in the area also gathered for sightseeing. But when they saw Dongfang Mei, nobody dared to enter the building.

.

Three hours later, Leo finished inspecting the hotel. He was satisfied with the rooms and facilities. However, there was an issue.

This building lacked employees. Leo would need to assign some workers to this establishment soon. Moreover, many facilities required supplies from the shopping mall, such as spirit herbs, quality food, and cultivation resources – such as True Earth Fate Crystals.

Leo grumbled while he walked into the lobby.

'I need to make more true earth fate crystals, but they can be stolen. I need someone trustworthy to be this hotel's manager.'

Leo reached the exit and found a crowd of people gathered outside. He looked up and found Dongfang Mei, Xu Nuan, and Cat.

Seeing the trio, Leo had an idea.

"You've come at a good time, ma'am. Are you interested in an executive job?"
