Chapter 1344 Extensive audit I

Despite how agonizingly slow it was - an emotion Lex only felt because he wanted to hurry up and complete the changes with the system - surveying so many people was actually quite entertaining.

The process actually took several days, and they surveyed over ten thousand guests, workers and general inhabitants of the Inn. It was good to see so many old faces once more - faces Lex expected to see more often from now on that his attention had returned to the Inn.

Yes, this was just a list of some of the beings surveyed, and in no way a reminder of characters long forgotten with their storylines- eh, with their personal issues unresolved. Why would Lex require such a thing? As an immortal now, his memory was perfect. As an example, Lex could easily recall countless others he knew from back when the Inn was new, but they had not been able to survey for various reasons, such as old man Will, the Chthulhu spirit, Remy, that weird Atila-Morpher guy who wanted to start a cult within the Inn, Alysha, the Inn worker who formerly had a dessert farming system and was eventually reunited with her sister inside the Inn, Brother Chen and Lily who had a successful shop inside the Guild hall, the old queen of England and the other Nascent soul cultivators who had since come into agreements with devils, Layla, the former leader of the Peacock warriors, Pvarti and his wife, and so many others.

Yes, just because Lex would now probably be seeing many of them again since his focus was now renewed on the Inn did not mean that he specifically needed to think of them again as a reminder of their existence. That would be like taking time out of his day to think about the fact that Earth, a planet existing in a former dead zone - a universal, unexplained phenomenon that existed in almost all mature and older, developing realms - had suddenly been flooded in spirit energy once again, as if whatever the cause for the existence of the dead zone was vanished on its own. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This was certainly not a foreshadowing of other dead zones ceasing to exist, resulting in unexpected developments later on in the future. Instead, it was just another, random thing he did not need to think about since he was occupied with other thoughts.

For example, the option for an Armory had been available to him for a long time, but he had never gotten around to opening it because he couldn't find a decent weapons and armor manufacturer. Xeon, the drake refiner he hired so long ago didn't count because he was kept busy with requirements of the Inn and its staff, so he hardly ever interacted with guests.

Lex made a mental note to hire the dwarf that made Naraka for the armory when he got the chance.

But that was just one room that was in demand. Other rooms that guests wanted were forges for treasure manufacturers, alchemy rooms, formation rooms, talisman rooms, gravity rooms, rooms that acted like the vacuum of space, a Void room, cursed rooms, aetheric rooms, Law research rooms, knitting rooms which were apparently absurdly popular due to the overwhelming popularity of the Grandma Deity, painting rooms, reading rooms, storage vaults, procreation rooms which was a disturbing thought but apparently required for the survival of certain races, and quite a few more.

Lex actually felt a little embarrassed when he opened that particular panel of his system, and promptly closed it. No point in introducing new services while the old ones were undergoing an audit. Speaking of which, when Ripley audited the Wishing Well and the Mystery trial, he was genuinely stunned.

In fact, Ripley even tried out the Mystery trial himself, and came out feeling oddly subdued and furiously began taking notes on his clipboard.

The thing that genuinely confused Ripley the most was why they hadn't added a Chaos Sea swimming pool. It wasn't even a derogatory question when he asked it. Rather, he felt like the Innkeeper probably had some hidden plan with it.
