Chapter 49: Living In Tian Luo Hotel
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:
Rao Zhou was already industrialized. Logically, Chang Luo should have been more heavily industrialized and should possess more advanced technology. However, Mo Wuji felt a greater atmosphere of culture over technology in Chang Luo. The buildings and halls made Mo Wuji feel like he was taken back in history.
The shophouses reminded Mo Wuji of some historical shophouses. Furthermore, all of these shophouses were grand and beautiful.
Mo Wuji needed to find living accommodations as soon as possible. With the coming Spring Immortal's Gate Conference, living accommodations would be quickly snapped up. If he took his time, he might actually end up sleeping on the streets.
Mo Wuji's premonition was right; he went through at least a dozen hotels, but he did not manage to find a room.
Just as Mo Wuji was ready to lower his standards, he saw three huge words: ”Tian Luo Hotel”.
Tian Luo Hotel may not be in the most crowded part of the city, but it was definitely not remote. Furthermore, the exterior of Tian Luo Hotel looked a lot better than the dozen inns he previously went through.
Mo Wuji guessed that this kind of hotel probably would not have any rooms. Still, he entered the hotel with a ”Maybe” attitude. At that moment, a woman hurriedly walked out the hotel with her head lowered. As she walked out, she brushed her shoulders against Mo Wuji. Even though it was just a mere brushing of shoulders, Mo Wuji could see that she had a perfect figure. She was definitely a beautiful woman.
Looking at the luxurious entrance hall, Mo Wuji felt like he was back in a six-star hotel on Earth. As Mo Wuji entered the hotel, a pretty girl bowed and greeted him, ”Are you looking for a place to stay or a particular person?”
”I'm looking for a place to stay. Are there any rooms?” Mo Wuji hurriedly asked.
The girl said with a smile, ”Our ordinary and VIP rooms have all been booked. However, we still have a Superior Class room. The person living in that room just left. If you want it, you would need to pay two full months of accommodation costs...”
Mo Wuji suddenly recalled the woman who hastily left the hotel as he was entering. If she was the one who vacated the hotel room, then his luck was really too good.
”How much does it cost for two months?” Mo Wuji did not wait for the girl to finish and he immediately interrupted.
The girl maintained her smile and she calmly said, ”As it is period of the Spring Immortal's Gate, our rooms are priced ten times higher. Our Superior Class rooms would cost 10 thousand gold coins per month. So it would be 20 thousand gold coins for two months.”
Mo Wuji exhaled a breath of cold air. The price wasn't high; it was outrageously high.
If he did not earn money from his sale of penicillin, he would not even be able to set an eye on the room.
”Here's 20 thousand gold coins. I will be living for two months,” Despite the outrageously high prices, Mo Wuji gritted his teeth and did not hesitate to take out two bank notes worth 10 thousand gold coins each.
He did not have the rights to participate in the Spring Immortal's Gate. However, the Spring Immortal's Gate was still a once in a lifetime of opportunity for Mo Wuji. Besides looking for geniuses, the sects would also be taking in service disciples. If it was revealed that he had spiritual roots, he might even be taken in as an outer disciple.
Even being a service disciple of a big sect would be useful for his cultivation.
Just like how students aiming to enter Peking University would stay near the university, Mo Wuji wanted to be near the venue for the Spring Immortal's Gate if wanted to join a sect.
During this period, he would have a good rest and maintain a good body condition. He could easily find ways to earn his money back but he could not easily find such an opportunity. If he left the hotel now to find cheaper alternatives, he might end up with nowhere to live in.
