Chapter 19 The Boss Opens a Room
jingle……
When I pushed open the door of the hotel, the old bell rang.
It's still afternoon and there are only a few guests on the first floor.
Most of them are elderly drunkards, looking slovenly.
They looked up at Chen Lun and then stopped paying attention to him, lowering their heads and continuing to drink the cheap wine.
Some of the guests, reeking of alcohol, noticed Floy in Chen Lun's arms and smiled knowingly.
The hotel owner was a fat middle-aged woman with a headscarf on, sleeping behind the counter.
There was also a big orange and white cat on the counter, staring at Chen Lun lazily.
The fat woman looked up when she heard the noise.
"what do you need?"
She glanced at Floy who was sleeping in Chen Lun's arms and chuckled disdainfully.
"The second floor is mostly empty rooms, 30 copper kro per night."
Chen Lun didn't waste any words with her. He pretended to take money out of his pocket and secretly took out a few silver cups from the panel.
A few silver coins appeared out of thin air in his palm and then he placed them on the counter.
"Pick a quiet room for me to stay in for two days... and prepare some food and water. The rest will be tips."
The world's monetary system is unified.
Copper Crores, Silver Jules and Gold Pounds are exchanged at a 100-to-1 ratio.
According to the general consumption level, 10 to 20 silver jewels can fully meet the living needs of a civilian family of three for one month.
The panel is very user-friendly in this regard, allowing you to deposit and withdraw money freely.
It can be converted between the panel and reality, which is equivalent to an alternative currency backpack.
The fat woman raised her eyebrows, a little surprised at Chen Lun's generosity.
She reached out with her big hands and a few silver coins fell into the drawer under the counter with a clanging sound.
Then he turned around and looked for the key on the wall.
Meow……
The big orange and white cat came up to Chen Lun and rubbed his fingers with its head.
Chen Lun smiled and teased it a few times.
The fat woman took off a bunch of old-fashioned keys and handed one of them to Chen Lun. She was a little surprised when she saw her cat's reaction.
"It seems to like you very much, how strange..."
Then she pointed in the direction of upstairs.
"The third room from the end of the corridor."
"Thanks."
Although it seemed suspicious that a young man brought an injured Red Apple Church nun to the hotel, there are more magical things in the world.
Besides, Emerald Town is just a remote town in the eastern part of the empire, and the sheriff here is basically non-existent.
As long as there is money to be made, the hotel owner won't care so much.
"Hey, kid, you're much bolder than I was when I was young!"
Chen Lun was about to go upstairs when he suddenly heard a drunkard talking loudly.
"A church nun...ah ha, this is a woman who serves God. Who doesn't want to be a god for once...?"
Chen Lun turned around and looked at him. The old drunkard had a playful look on his face, revealing his uneven yellow teeth.
"What did you want to say, sir?"
"How about 10 copper kroes to let me, Old Ham, be a god for once?"
He took a big gulp of the wine and drank the entire wooden cup in one breath.
He burped and then staggered to Chen Lun.
Then he came closer and whispered:
"Don't worry, this is all our secret. I won't report you to the Red Apple Church..."
"Damn it! Ham, I advise you not to cause trouble in my shop again!"
The fat woman was very angry and shouted with her hands on her hips.
Ham shrugged innocently and ignored the hotel owner.
He chuckled softly and reached out to touch Floy's face, but suddenly stopped halfway.
Meow——Ah!
The fat woman's cat suddenly stood up, screamed, and pounced on the drunkard's head, scratching his face like crazy.
"Oh! You damn cat! Get out of here!"
The drunkard was thrown to the ground and struggled desperately.
Instead of helping, the other guests around stepped away and laughed.
Chen Lun took advantage of the chaos and gave the drunkard a light kick, but it didn't hurt and the latter didn't even notice it.
Then he turned around and went upstairs, holding Floy as if nothing had happened.
Since he is seeking death, you can't blame him.
…
Chen Lun gently placed Floy on the bed and poured himself a glass of water.
"panel."
He pulled out a chair, sat down, and drank a sip of water.

Power: 21
[Evaluation: The extraordinary are ashamed of you, but at least you have learned how to crawl in the mysterious realm. ]
Chen Lun used the extra experience points to upgrade his secondary profession [Fisherman] to the maximum level, bringing his total level to 20.
The attributes increased accordingly, and 2 skill points and 2 attribute points were gained.
[Fisherman] This secondary profession is a common life profession, so the growth attribute is not strong.
It's average, providing Chen Lun with 1 point of agility and 1 point of endurance for every two levels , which is better than nothing.
Then he maxed out the skill [Beast Language LV1]. The upper limit of this skill is level 3, and it only cost Chen Lun 2 skill points.
The full-level [Animal Language] is no longer limited to ordinary animals. Chen Lun has the ability to communicate with some extraordinary animals or conceptual animals.
As for the two passive skills of [Fisherman], Chen Lun does not plan to waste skill points on them, because there will be many places to use skill points in the future.
In this way, there are 7 surplus skill points and 5 surplus attribute points.
He will not use these reserve points right now, but he can keep them as a trump card to deal with various unexpected situations.
Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction. So far, he had improved himself in all the areas he could.
If you still want to upgrade, you can only add a secondary profession, or consider promoting your main profession.
"It's still too early to advance in sequence, and I lack the corresponding extraordinary knowledge as a prerequisite..."
Chen Lun sighed.
In the previous life, I followed the mysterious path of the [Moon Faction], but now I am in the [Destiny Faction].
Because [Destiny Faction] is a hidden path, Chen Lun is very unfamiliar with it.
There have been related posts and players who have taken this path, but they are quite rare.
Chen Lun had no impression of this route.
Because in the game version at that time, the [Fate Faction] had little presence, whether for players or NPCs.
Maybe it will be very eye-catching in future versions, but that has nothing to do with Chen Lun, and he can't see it.
"From now on, I can only cross the river by feeling the stones myself..."
Chen Lun doesn't think this approach is weak.
Compared to the low-sequence stages of other paths, he currently has a very high opinion of the main profession [Sequence 9 Tamer].
Highly adaptable and flexible, with upper and lower limits depending on the individual.
Take the skill [Animal Imitation] for example. Although it can only retain no more than 10 animal characteristics, the effect of free combination is quite nice.
Chen Lun stood up and walked to the window, thinking about his next plan.
"Hmm..."
At this time, Floy on the bed made a slight sound and woke up slowly.
"where is this?"
