Resident Selection

In Room 606.

Qinghua and Loop simultaneously suggested to Chen Miemie that he change his residence.

"Miemie, Yarn Ball is only temporarily refraining from attacking. But inside its own body, it is nearly impossible to defend against. We have no initiative at all; it is best to leave as soon as possible."

Chen Miemie, however, had his own thoughts. "Is Yarn Ball really that invincible? Bobo, it ate you before; can you corrode it?"

Bobo thought about it seriously and shook the pineapple on his chicken neck. "I cannot sense any clash of [Mystery] for now. Just as it said itself, it did not really 'eat' me; it was just tasting."

Just as Chen Miemie decided to listen to their advice and leave...

Pure Water, who had long noticed his reluctance to go, spoke up.

"I roughly sensed its aura. It is powerful, but not to the extent of defeating all of us. The reason it feels almost invincible is mainly due to our lack of intelligence on it. From what I have observed, it also has significant limitations."

"What limitations?"

Pure Water began to analyze:

"Do you guys remember the [Trial]? During the trial, the [Trial] itself also had to abide by the trial rules.

This hotel anomaly is the same. It probably has to follow the hotel's rules and regulations as well.

For example, at the very beginning, it smelled the aroma but could not enter the guest's room on its own. It had to knock and get the guest's permission before coming in.

Its punishment of others also requires them to be in debt or breaking the rules.

Conversely, if it could do whatever it wanted to the guests, it could just directly rob them of their belongings and would not have starved to the point of losing weight.

Therefore, I deduce that it cannot actively attack guests who have not broken any rules, nor can it engage in behavior that would ruin the hotel's business."

Hearing Pure Water's analysis, everyone felt it made sense.

Loop was still a bit hesitant. "Even so, even if the danger level isn't high, it still exists. Why should we take this risk?"

Qinghua laughed. "Why else? Miemie has his eyes set on their hotel."

Chen Miemie laughed heartily. "Indeed, meeting today is a stroke of fate."

Origami tried folding space within the room.

"For now, as long as there is no interference, teleportation is possible."

"Alright, since we have a way out, let us stay here for the time being. We will rest for a bit and set out tonight to look for a base. By the way, do you guys know of any good places?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Pure Water.

"Unfortunately, while I do know a few exceptionally blessed locations, they are all underwater and not suitable for everyone. I used to stay in the water all the time and did not pay much attention to places on land."

"That is fine. I have seen a few peculiar spots before; we can go check them out together." Chen Miemie recalled for a moment. There were about three places that had left a deep impression on him and were not too far away.

These were all places he had accidentally discovered when he returned to his Eternal Moon true form and cast his gaze down to search for the clown.

After dusk, night fell.

Tonight was the Frost Moon.

It just so happened that Fina of the [Court of the Silver Moon] and Dawn were both busy, so today's Frost Moon gathering was canceled.

As soon as night arrived, Chen Miemie immediately felt his confidence surge.

He came out of Room 606 and swaggered downstairs.

At the front desk was still that same cat-eared little girl.

Noticing Chen Miemie looking at her, the little girl smiled sweetly. "Guest, is there anything you need?"

Chen Miemie asked probingly, "Do you know how I can get in touch with Yarn Ball?"

The little girl still wore an amiable smile.

"So you are looking for our boss. There are two ways.

The first method is slower. I can pass on a message, but since I am not sure when I will run into the boss, I cannot give you a prepared reply.

The second method is faster. You can take the initiative to cause trouble in the hotel, and the boss will immediately appear in front of you."

Looking at this sweet-smiling little girl, Chen Miemie's impression of her did a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

How was this amiable? This was purely setting a trap for him. She was truly two-faced.

Meeting Yarn Ball by breaking the hotel rules? Was that not just courting death?

Chen Miemie carefully expressed his thoughts: "Would the second method be a bit dangerous?"

The little girl smiled even more brightly. "Not at all. With the second method, the boss comes personally and will attack you. But actually, the first method is even more dangerous. If I pass the message, when the boss comes, it will attack you."

Chen Miemie felt that the phrasing of this flawed sentence was somewhat familiar.

He casually asked, "If it attacks in both cases, what is the difference?"

The little girl suddenly changed her expression, an eerie smile instantly replacing her previous gentle one:

"Do you think becoming a cat, or becoming cat food, is more interesting?"

Keeping a straight face, Chen Miemie walked out the front door shaped like the tip of a cat's tail.

Qinghua, around his neck, reminded him, "Miemie, do not forget that Yarn Ball said it is the entire [Chubby Orange Hotel]. The front desk should logically be a part of this anomaly as well."

Chen Miemie frowned. "It seems Yarn Ball has hidden a lot of information."

Pure Water agreed. "Yes, if Yarn Ball were just a hotel anomaly, its feline elements should not be this prominent simply because of the building's exterior design."

Loop had always been part of the stay-away faction. "I have always felt something was off too. Can an anomaly's passive state really be almost harmless, allowing it to live peacefully in a city?"

"Alright, we will look more into it over the next few days. For now, let us focus on tonight's goal. Let's move out."

A pair of wings formed from flowing water sprouted from Chen Miemie's back, and he shot up into the sky.

About a hundred kilometers north of Sixiang City.

"We are here. This is the first potential location." Chen Miemie hovered in the middle of a vast white area.

As his altitude decreased, the scene in his field of vision gradually became clear.

Below him was actually a massive expanse of white clouds.

Chen Miemie only felt that this place was bizarre, but he did not know the specific details.

Pure Water cried out in shock, "This is a [Spectacle]!"
