The Innkeeper - Chapter 2135 Migration II

Chapter 2135 Migration II

Lex felt his throat dry as he heard those numbers. He had not yet dealt with trillions of guests, so the concept of dealing with a hundred trillion guests was extremely daunting! It was not just a matter of logistics.

Being low leveled made that easy, as the Inn would automatically provide basic, low level food. Moreover, he was sure that the Primordial Garden, or the Henali, would pay properly to shift so many new guests inside the Inn.

The problem was that with numbers that massive, it was basically impossible to take care of them all. It was basically a given that, due to their low levels, they were also more likely to suffer. It need not be because of a fight or injury. Just illness and disease could claim countless lives, not to mention age, old wounds and the like.

Beyond just their immediate health and livelihood, so many guests would need appropriate accommodation. As much as Lex would have liked to just stuff them in grey apartment buildings, it would lower the guest satisfaction rating of the Inn, which would increase costs for Lex!

Among so many guests, the chances of internal conflicts was also high, and keeping the peace would also be a difficult task!

Unlike Eclipse, Harriot did not have his powers sealed, so he immediately saw through Lex’s concerns even before Lex had an opportunity to voice them. “Those being sent to your inn will all be low level creatures and beings, those who were unable to adapt to the garden. The fact that they’re getting an opportunity to survive is already great enough – you do not need to nanny them.

“This is exactly why I wished to contact you. Instead of going the normal route of sending them as regular guests, I was wondering if it would be possible to simply allocate a plot of land, or maybe an available Minor realm and put them all in there. That should be somewhat cheaper, right? Their survival will be their own concern, and you can treat this as a special case. If you’re unable to make a decision on this, then feel free to take back word to the Innkeeper, and let him decide.”

Lex frowned for a moment, wondering if that would work. He’d technically done something like that before with Earth’s refugees. The problem he faced in doing that again was that of guest satisfaction.

“I can make a decision on such matters, Lord Harriot. Considering the number of guests you’d be sending our way, it is entirely possible for me to tailor a special guest package that suits your needs. However, we also cannot just abandon the guests who come to our inn, so we will need to find some kind of compromise between taking care of them, and just dropping them inside a Minor realm.

“I can have them put in a separate area so that they don’t interact with the regular guests, but I will need details of the kinds of guests you’re sending our way so that I can ensure that a suitable environment for their survival is available.”

Harriot brought out a purple crystal and handed it to Lex, containing all the information on all the five trillion selected to go to the Inn during the first round of migration. Even if Lex was a high level Heaven Immortal, he could not just go through the details of five trillion beings in a short time, which is why Harriot waited for half an hour as Lex went through the list in detail.

“It’s doable,” said Lex. “When do you wish to send over the first batch?”

Harriot nodded, appreciating Lex’s adaptability.

“As soon as possible. The longer this is delayed, the more of them will die. You don’t need to strictly isolate them. If any of them has the means or desire to make their own arrangements, they are free to do so. It’s not like they have to migrate where we send them.”

Lex nodded, understanding Harriot’s concerns. As long as they left the garden in a reasonable manner, he did not care whether they lived in the Origin realm, Midnight realm or anywhere else. In fact, as a firm believer in the law of the jungle, he did not even want them to get the usual services of the Inn – merely providing them a place where they could try to survive through their own efforts was already good enough. But, since the Inn had its own way of doing things, he wouldn’t interfere.

“In that case, I will return to the Inn immediately and make arrangements. You can send the designated guests over in four hours,” said Lex, planning everything out in his mind.

Although there were about a hundred thousand Minor realms inside the Midnight Inn, Lex had a decent understanding of the environment in most of them. Since the five trillion guests did not need to be kept together, he intended on dividing them up into several groups and sending them to countless places across the Inn.

While being spread out would make it harder to take care of them, in a way it would also make it easier. Smaller groups were easier to handle, and while there were logistical issues with this, by dividing them up according to the environment they needed to survive he would make it much easier for them to survive on their own. Hopefully, that would account for the satisfaction rating. Previously, he was having problems with only thirty two billion guests. Now that seemed like a joke. Fortunately, these were all low leveled guests so at least there weren’t any security risks involved.

Gaining Harriot’s approval, Lex left the garden and returned to the Inn. Naturally, he did not hand over five trillion keys to Harriot – he would have to

purchase them himself from the Inn. The cost for so many guests was not

something Lex could bear, even with his newfound wealth. The slightest accident could cause serious repercussions.

Yet, for some reason, Lex felt a little excited as he returned to the Inn, as if anticipating this new challenge.
