The next few days were particularly hot, which was annoying.

The bathhouse was not available yet at his current level. Should he manually make a pool? They could make porcelain or clay tiles and waterproofing material with the materials that they had.

The past few days, they really didn't lose customers. It was rarely a super big group, of course, but mostly groups of a dozen or two, though there were plenty of intersections.

Many times, people in the queue for rooms would be using tents, while others just asked for reservations before heading out, expecting rooms to be available when they returned.

That said, he wanted the rooms to be as comfortable as possible, even in this heat, so he went to rummage through the system for improvements. For the [Bedrooms], whether it was the basic or the improved one, the Upgrades were the same.

[Temperature Regulation]

Information: Allows the lessee of the unit to customize the temperature within the room.

Adds +1 Comfort

Cost: 100 Hearth Points]

[Purchased! Temperature Regulation! -100 Hearth Points]

He bought one for each room. That was 33 rooms. And the upgrade didn't even make a dent in his stat. Hehe. So satisfying!

Anyway, since he was already starting, he went to explore the other upgrades as well.

The kitchen didn't have an upgrade, while the [Living Room] improvement was to add comfort and even scents! The upgrade added points to ambiance, though only when it was activated.

[Purchased! Enhanced Experience! -100 Hearth Points]

[Living Room Function Activated: Enhanced Experience]

Immediately, he felt comfortable in the room. Whether it was temperature, humidity level, and the like, it was designed to be comfortable for the user. According to the description, it could also adjust per person. So, if a furry beastkin used the room at the same time as he did, then he'd be similarly comfortable.

On top of this, there was also a subtle relaxing scent that spread out of the room.

This would last about a week or so, and he could just reactivate when he had many guests.

There was even an [Entertainment Lounge] Upgrade, which was supposed to add things like games, among others. This could be done manually, but it didn't cost much to his rich self, so he bought it too!

A small cabinet appeared at the side of the room, showing some board games and the like with instructions conveniently written in the local lingua franca.

He swore to drag Marcus and the rest to play a few of these later.

The [Bathroom] upgrades were great. It seemed to also use a minor space fold that allowed a nice bathtub in. It also added a point each for all inn stats, and applicable to each bathroom.

He was rich in points now, and upgrades tended to only require points, so he bought this too. This time, though, since it was a physical manifestation, it required gold, so he only put them in the upper-floor toilets, as well as those in the luxury rooms.

[Purchased! Bathtub! -5 gold, -50 Hearth Points]

He did upgrade the dispensers in all the bathrooms, including the ones in the lower floors. He chose the best shampoos, soaps, lotions, and the like, making sure all his paying guests were as comfortable as they could be.

Next was the [Utility Room] which added extra sheets, bathrobes, and the like to every room, allowing guests to have a change more often. Another upgrade was even more convenient.

[Extended Cleanliness]

Information: Adds an anti-dust, anti-sweat, and anti-grime layer on clothes that could last up to 12 hours.

Cost: 500 Hearth Points

He blinked. It was a luxury, yes, but feeling comfortable for 12 hours, even when fighting, was too good!

It was too uncomfortable to keep fighting when you're not only injured, but you're also full of dust and grime! This upgrade did not just guarantee cleanliness, but also his spiritual health!

[Purchased! Extended Cleanliness, -500 Hearth Points]

That was about the last thing he could purchase out of every new thing, but he couldn't help but feel super satisfied!

…

The Inn wasn't the only thing upgrading in the past few days.

Everyone was also doing their best, immersed in the atmosphere of growth. Their customers were busy fighting monsters and absorbing cores, while the staff were busy honing their skills and inheritances.

There were still no raw materials for Durgan to make weapons from scratch, so he started a repair shop business for the customers.

C-class and above weapons were quite expensive, and some fighters that should have gotten them didn't and were settling for D-class weapons and just replacing them often.

Many of their customers were in this state, and having a place to repair their weapons for a fair price, considering they were in the middle of nowhere, was really heaven-sent!

It wasn't too cheap, of course, still twice to thrice as it would cost if it were in the safe zone, but one had to remember where they were, right?

On the other hand, Micc's success rate for making essence food in the kitchen had also increased to about 30%, which was really impressive considering everything. Of course, it was impossible for him to make essence food outside of the inn for now.

Haurus was also exploring the Alchemy Store more. The demand for potions never stopped, so he was quite busy, and he was slowly getting used to the work. Only the basics could be done, considering the raw materials, but it was still good.

The goblins Ranran and Tumble were also always trying to improve, though their places of application were limited. They didn't have an infinite amount of wood to play with, nor did they have all the space in the world to handle the endless creations either.

However, the quality of their work was definitely improving, and Finn couldn't help but be proud.

Many among their group would struggle in the safe zone, but they were all flourishing here now. The innkeeper couldn't help but fondly pat the wall of the inn.

People always quipped that his cooking changed lives. He knew the Inn was much more so.
