The audience clapped, with the aborigines (who comprised a good portion of the guests) following along.
As always, it was Mathilda who took the front stage. She looked at the crowd with a gentle smile, her mere presence naturally drawing everyone’s attention to her.
She wore a beautiful conservative green dress that emphasized her regal quality. Even to the aborigines, she was an undeniable noble lady.
"We are happy to open the territory’s first—possibly of many—hotels," she said. "This is a building type that can be found in Towns, but we will be pushing it forward in Alterra… adding our own twists to the building type."
System Hotels were available at Level 2 Towns. According to the aborigines, it functioned just like the inn but with larger rooms, more intricate decor, and better food. It also had the extra function of increasing the recovery rate of Spirit.
While their Hotel did not have the latter function on its own, they made up for it by using special beds by woodworkers, which also improved recovery rates by a lot.
"This hotel will be more than just a posh alternative to inns where our guests—and maybe even locals wanting to do a staycation—would rest their heads…
"It is a testament to how far Alterra has come—how good life is here, to the point that we already created luxuries like these."
"This building was built in hopes of helping show the beauty and charm of our village, to showcase what makes Alterra… well, Alterra."
"For all the guests invited today, you are free to stay for a day, at our cost, along with one other person," she said. "Kindly register your and your guest’s names. You may choose not to avail today, the 1-day promo is valid for a week."
"We would like to believe that this will be a great experience for everyone. Of course, if you have any feedback, we would love to hear it."
"We hope everyone enjoys your stay."
Applause exploded again, thanking them for their generosity. The guests excitedly turned to the long concierge desk at the side, sparing no time to line up.
The surface was made of polished stone that looked like marble, and its color fit well with the interior’s aesthetic. There were also bells in front of each concierge personnel, so it was easy to alert them.
The concierge desk had three staff. For now, it was two girls and a man.
They were quite pleasant to look at with their clean appearances and uniformed attires. They would have three shifts so the concierge was manned at all times—with each person looking fresh because they got proper rest.
There were also bellmen and porters walking around and guiding people. They also explained what their function was, and the aborigines who hadn’t been exposed to Terran high-end hospitality were a little startled.
Anyway, the guests queued properly, especially since everyone invited took pride in being invited in the first place. No one would act like a shrew, even for just the occasion.
As they waited, many couldn’t help but admire the decorations around. They fit well with Alterra’s theme, though with more high-end flare by using more detailed moldings, added decorations, and more sophisticated materials.
