Doomsday Code

Chapter 868 Accommodation

The guard at the gate looked in the direction Chen Cheng was pointing, and when he saw the Snow Maiden, who was like a proud white lotus, he immediately gave her a knowing look.

Immediately he said:

"Since there are women here, I recommend you go to Baiya Residence in the city."

That's the best restaurant around here. I heard it's owned by the city lord. The entire restaurant is set up with a special magic array, so the environment inside is like spring all year round. Even the church elders who just came here stayed there.

Of course, the accommodation costs are also quite high.

"Of course, if you think the price is too high, there's also Piaoxianglou..."

Chen Cheng paid no attention to the rest of what the city guard said, but instead thought about the church elder he mentioned.

Chen Cheng still remembered that the intelligence notebook he had Sheli get from the shop owner contained information about the church.

Although Chen Cheng had no intention of gathering any followers in the Northern Territory, he also didn't want the church to establish a foothold here so easily.

After all, the two sides are still enemies.

Chen Cheng gave the money to the city guard, cupped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Thank you for reminding me, brother. I'll take my leave now."

He then led the Snow Maiden and the others into the city.

This Baiya Residence is indeed very famous; just ask anyone and they will be given directions.

Upon arriving at Baiya Residence, one can indeed see many luxurious carriages parked outside, typical of the Northern Territory.

The three of them entered the main hall. As expected, Baiyaju was elegant. The main hall did not show any signs of luxury. On the contrary, it had the refined air of the inland.

Chen Cheng also knew that the northern border was vast and sparsely populated, and most of the people with status and position here were not native to the northern border, but came from various kingdoms in the interior.

Naturally, these people prefer inland environments, and Baiyaju is very good at catering to that.

"Hello, guest. Are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

At this moment, a waitress came up to Chen Cheng with a smile and asked him.

"Accommodation, but I don't know what the conditions are like here."

The maid led Chen Cheng and his group to a reception room, where a model of the entire Baiya Residence was displayed.

"Guests, please take a look. This is a panoramic view of our Baiya Residence. If you wish to stay overnight, we offer three different accommodation options."

The maid then began to introduce the three of them to Chen Cheng.

When Chen Cheng saw the architectural model that looked just like the real estate sales halls in his previous life, he was only slightly surprised. He didn't expect that people in this world would actually think of making such miniature models for sales purposes.

However, what Chen Cheng didn't know was that while he had seen many such miniature models in his previous life, they were a completely new and novel thing for the vast majority of people in this world.

Especially for those visiting for the first time, no one can help but be amazed by the life-size miniature models of the buildings.

Baiyaju retains its customers by offering unique things and services that set it apart from others. Otherwise, given the accommodation prices they offer, even the most foolish and wealthy nobles would only stay once and never return.

At this moment, Yuki-onna and Sheri were shocked.

However, he showed no signs of shock because of his strong self-control. But you could tell he was very surprised just by staring at the models without blinking.

The Snow Woman, however, lacked his self-control. Upon seeing the models, she exclaimed in surprise and even wanted to pick up the miniature models to play with.

"Your boss really knows how to make money. The accommodations here aren't even as good as the top restaurants in the inland, but your lowest prices are probably more than ten times higher than those of the top restaurants in the inland."

Chen Cheng fiddled with the miniature model, then said with a smile.

"What do you mean by this, sir? I believe you have seen the desolation of this northern border along your journey, and you should know how difficult it was for us to build such a refined residence here."

And I can guarantee that our service here will be in no way inferior to the top restaurants in the inland areas.

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said:

"Alright, whatever you want. But I heard that the elders from the Inland Church are staying here, and my sister and I are devout believers, so I'd like to stay next to them."

That way, when the elders are worshipping, I can also hear the sacred sounds.

Chen Cheng looked devout.

Seeing the devout and fanatical look on Jamil's face, Chen Cheng naturally did it with ease.

Originally, according to their boss's orders, no one was allowed to live in the rooms and courtyards surrounding the church elder's residence.

But these elders know how to enjoy life; they want the most luxurious courtyards.

Now that they've moved in, the other courtyards will have to be empty.

However, the wages of these service personnel, especially receptionists, are closely related to the amount of money spent by customers.

He thought that if he could close this deal, the bonus would be substantial.

Upon seeing this, Chen Cheng smiled and said:

"Of course, I know this will make things difficult for you, so for the sake of my devout faith, I am willing to spend another hundred gold coins."

Before Chen Cheng could lower his hand, the maid grabbed it and said:

"Deal made, we'll sign the lease agreement immediately."

Perhaps the owner of Baiyaju knew that his restaurant was too greedy and was afraid that customers would come back and smash the place, so instead of signing a lease agreement with customers when providing accommodation, he did not do what other restaurants do.

That way, even if someone feels it's not worth it afterward and tries to cause trouble, he can use the lease agreement to shut them up.

Of course, such a disturbance after the fact has never happened since Baiyaju opened.

Holding the lease agreement, Chen Cheng smiled and said:

"I've actually come to like your boss a bit. He's really taken the 'no business without guile' mentality to the extreme."

Don't underestimate this seemingly ordinary agreement. If anyone tries to cause trouble, Baiyaju can use this agreement to bankrupt them.

As for what to do if Bai Yaju can't afford to offend the other party, they don't even know that Bai Yaju is rumored to be the city lord's property. And since this place is far from the emperor's reach, the city lord is the local tyrant.

So as long as the procedures and formalities are legal, even if a prince from the inland region comes, he has no choice but to accept his fate.

The maid led me to the courtyard where I was staying, which was indeed a beautiful inland courtyard, just as described.

However, the money they spent on this rental would have been enough to buy such a courtyard in the inland areas.

After the maid left, Chen Cheng smiled and said:

"If this place really is the city lord's property, then that city lord is truly a business genius."
