The Innkeeper

Chapter 1345  Extensive audit II

It also probably wasn\'t called Chaos Sea, as most people did not have enough of it to form a sea, but since Lex had been calling it that from the get go, to change it now seemed unnecessary.

Unable to think of a decent response, Lex acknowledged that the Innkeeper truly did have other plans. He did not want to squander his Realm-growth-juice, which was definitely not as good a name as Chaos Sea.

By far, the thing Ripley seemed most visibly bothered by was the massive spaceship that was being used as a daycare. He gave Lex a few odd stares, but ultimately said nothing, and just noting stuff down on his clipboard.

Ripley also inspected the border of the Inn, tried to exit himself which failed, and asked questions about any growth plans that the inn had, which at the moment was unnecessary. Let alone billions, even trillions of guests could easily fit in the space that was currently available to the Inn.

But while the Inn had enough space to sustain so many people, whether or not their other facilities could support such a load was something that needed to be determined - something Ripley focused on.

He personally used every available form of transport, ranging from golf carts, cycles, hover cars, trains, spaceships, peacock mounts, lazy rivers, walking paths, ziplines, teleportation formations, tuk-tuks, paragliding and parachuting.

He judged them on the basis of efficiency, novelty factor, entertainment value, time consumption, ease of use and a few other parameters.

The next step in investigating the load the Inn could support was to check how well they could manage the essential needs of their guests. For mortals, that naturally included things like food, and shelter, but when he started to check up on facilities offered to other races Lex felt like Ripley seemed less than impressed.

Yes, the Inn had a number of different biomes which supported the existence of various kinds of races, but it seemed like there were a few basic things the Inn was lacking in. It was understandable, since Lex had not even known that such races with so many unusual requirements existed in the first place.

Fortunately, most of such races did not exist naturally within the Origin realm, Crystal realm or Midnight realm so it was not an issue for now. But if the Inn wanted to operate on a universal level, it would need to accommodate them.

Heck, there were even actual Immortal races that would suffer severe consequences if they did not eat regularly, and their diet was naturally quite special. The most common example was the requirement for some Hellion races to regularly consume the souls of the living. That one had stumped Lex, and he had no idea how he would meet that need if he were ever required to.

By now, a number of days had already gone by, and Lex began to wonder how long this would take since Ripley showed no signs of stopping. The Titan shared his interest in exploring every single Minor realm connected to the Inn, but seeing as how that wasn\'t possible as many of them were still locked or undiscovered by guests, he settled for exploring the discovered ones.

Considering there were well over a 100,000 Minor realms connected to the Inn, Lex nearly gave up and handed the task of escorting Ripley to someone else. Unfortunately, regardless of how long or tedious the task was, it needed to be done. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Thus began the journey of Lex finding out for the first time what many of those Minor realms actually held. He kind of knew, since the Minor realms were now connected to the Inn, but considering that the territory within the Minor realm was not actually a part of the Inn, he didn\'t know the exact details.

Fortunately, Ripley did not spend much time in each realm, basically just scanning it once with his spirit sense, so it took about three days to go through all the ones available and open at that time.

It was quite insightful for him, because apparently one of the Minor realms was just an expansive body of water which contained many races that lived in the water, one of which were mermaids. They were surprisingly friendly, and did not at all hold up to the racial stereotype of ugly creatures using their singing to attract people to their doom.

Then, Ripley explored all the settlements, cities, villages, towns, lone cabins and houses, and basically any place else where guests gathered within the Inn. Considering that the wilderness of the Inn actually now contained wild, non-sentient beasts that were actually a little dangerous to low leveled guests, that area was not so wide.

He took note of how far each settlement was from each other, their relative positions, their environment, landscape, weather and prominent features. He compared the populations they could hold and created a population distribution map.

He even took note of any significant or prominent tour attractions, natural wonders, sights, activities, and other key points of interest.

At this point, the only thing Lex could say he enjoyed was when they stopped at restaurants and cafes to check out their foods. Many of them weren\'t even Inn operated anymore, as the refugees who lived in the Minor realms were operating businesses within the Inn now - so long as they maintained their standards.

From the threadcount of the bedsheets, to the size of the formations in the restrooms, Ripley analyzed each and every thing in such excruciating detail, that after an entire month when the audit finally ended, Lex nearly cried tears of joy.

Or to be more specific, the part of the audit Lex could accompany Ripley on came to an end, for now the auditor began to test the smoothness of teleportations using golden keys from various environments within the Origin realm.
