Chapter 466: The Shi Family's Amazing Hotel Experience
"Let's go in with our son today and broaden our horizons. Six hundred coins for such a heavenly hotel isn't expensive at all!"
Having heard that a night's stay only costs a little over six hundred coins, and having just witnessed the grandeur of the hotel, Old Master Shi straightened his back a bit more and even his voice became more confident.
As soon as the Shi family stepped into the hotel, they looked around but couldn't see a single person. They wondered if they had taken the wrong path and accidentally wandered into the residence of some deity...
Just as the elderly couple were about to ask their son what was going on, they saw two silver figures flashing and glowing as they rapidly drifted toward them.
"Distinguished guests, are you checking into our 'Unforgettable Hotel'? Did you make a reservation in advance?"
Its silver body prominently displays the name "Lobby Manager No. 1," with the words "Please feel free to contact me if you need anything" written below.
Shi Qi was initially surprised, but quickly recovered and hurriedly replied:
"That's right, I've already made a reservation. We'd like to stay at a hotel."
But why is it so deserted here? There's not a soul in sight.
He couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him: the hotel was completely empty; he hadn't seen a single person since he came in, except for this one...
"Honorable guests, please do not worry. We have not forgotten that the hotel has just opened. You are quite early."
Some guests had already checked in and were resting in their rooms early.
Please follow me here to register, and then you can go upstairs to your rooms.
The lobby manager robot gracefully made a "please" gesture, and then led them to a huge standing screen.
Under its careful guidance, the first step was for Shi Qi himself to scan his face to log in to his member account.
In an instant, the information on the room type he had booked popped up on the screen, along with several family suites of different styles for him to choose from.
Shi Qi looked carefully and quickly chose a room.
After that, all the guests who came to check in together had to complete the facial recognition and information entry process in front of this screen.
From now on, whether it's entering or exiting the elevator, a room, or enjoying the free buffet breakfast, all will require facial recognition for identity verification.
In fact, this operation is completed extremely quickly. A person only needs to stand in front of the screen, and the system will automatically capture their face, then enter the information and bind it to the name of the guest staying in the same room.
Another particularly user-friendly design feature is that for active and uncooperative children, as long as an adult holds the child and does not cover the child's face, the system can dynamically capture the child's face in seconds and successfully complete the information entry.
Holding her two-year-old son in her arms, Ms. Ruan lured him to look at the screen. The little guy quickly passed the information entry process, which was not complicated at all.
Although the family was filled with disbelief and shock, they still cooperated and completed the operation, which seemed somewhat incomprehensible to them.
However, they soon realized the amazing use of facial recognition for information entry.
When their room number—701—finally appeared on the screen, somehow, that same room number also appeared on each of their wrists the next second.
With a simple gesture, one can see the faint glow of 701 on their wrist, but cannot discern the room numbers of others.
Then, led by the eloquent lobby manager, Shi Qi and his family arrived at the elevator.
"Distinguished guests, please enter the elevator. After scanning your faces, the elevator will take you to the seventh floor."
After that, just follow the signs and you'll find room 701.
After the lobby manager gave a general explanation of the process, the rest was up to them to figure out on their own.
It then turned around and went back to the door to continue greeting new guests.
"Beep, we are about to ascend to the seventh floor. The elevator doors will be closing soon. Please remain standing. Thank you for your cooperation."
After sensing that all passengers outside the door had entered the elevator, the super-intelligent elevator instantly and automatically recognized and extracted the passengers' facial information, confirmed their floor, issued a friendly reminder, and then slowly closed the sensor door.
"Son, what are we doing standing in this little box? Could this be the room you booked for us?"
But this is really too stingy. Besides standing, we don't even have a place to sit down and catch our breath..."
Mrs. Shi had been lost in thought the whole time, and she hadn't taken a word of what the lobby manager had said to her.
Once inside the elevator, I was so busy looking left and right that I missed the announcements that were being broadcast inside.
"Pfft, my goodness, did you not hear anything at all?"
Didn't I just explain it to you? This is an elevator, it's used to take us upstairs!
Look, the floor number displayed here is steadily increasing!
Shi Qi was both amused and exasperated by his mother's outrageous guess.
But he knew his own mother's temper all too well. She tended to space out and be lost in thought whenever something happened, so he probably didn't hear a word she said.
"Hehe, Grandma wasn't listening carefully, blushing~"
Even An'er heard that this staircase leads us to the seventh floor~
Five-year-old grandson Shi Yi'an is an obedient and studious child. He remembers clearly everything the lobby manager said when he led them over.
At this moment, he imitated his father's usual way of criticizing him and began to seriously scold his grandmother.
"Oh dear, our An'er is the most clever one. Grandma is getting old and her hearing isn't what it used to be."
"I never imagined this place where immortals live could be so amazing! Climbing stairs here doesn't even require two legs! This is truly a blessing for us old folks with our frail legs!"
Upon hearing this, the two elderly people were filled with emotion.
As I get older, it's difficult for me to go up and down stairs on ordinary days. I never expected that in this heavenly place, even these small details would be so well thought out.
"[Seventh Floor] We have arrived. Dear guest, please step out of the elevator and find your private room by referring to your room number."
In the blink of an eye, the elevator's notification sound rang out crisply, instantly interrupting their conversation.
The family's thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality, and they instinctively stepped out as the elevator doors slowly opened.
Since the elevator was enclosed and invisible, once they came out, they immediately and clearly felt their height through the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass on the side.
Out of curiosity, several people crowded forward and peered down.
This sight was terrifying; it made their legs go weak and they almost lost their footing.
