I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 319: Invasion of Dahai City, the most lucrative career
"You are dead!"

……

"You are dead!"

……

"You are dead!"

……

Su Fan's expression became more and more ugly, and finally he had no choice but to put down his phone.

At this time, Li Leping asked: "Are there any results?"

Su Fan said with a sullen face, "As long as you enter Dahai City, no matter which direction you go, you may encounter unknown dangers. I don't know where the danger comes from, but what is certain is that once the danger comes, someone will definitely die, and there will not even be a chance to save themselves. After all, the information revealed by the game in my hand is very limited. Perhaps Xiong Wenwen, who can predict the future, is more suitable for this situation."

"Xiong Wenwen is under protection now and can't even leave Dajing City, so we can't rely on him. There is definitely danger in Dahai City. If you run away when you encounter danger, there is no need for us to gather here. You all have the enhanced ghost candle developed by Professor Wang. Use it directly when you sense danger. Don't waste time."

After Liu San finished speaking, he walked towards the black grave mountain.

This black grave mountain is an unknown and terrifying ghost domain. Without a sufficiently powerful ghost domain, it is impossible to invade. Everything is the same.

However, Liu San did not seem to open the ghost domain and just walked straight in.

Su Fan looked at Li Leping standing aside. A black smoke came out of Li Leping's body and enveloped him, then floated towards the black grave mountain.

It seemed that the density of this grave mountain was a bit high, and the smoke lingered on it for a long time before it completely rushed in.

"You walked so fast and didn't even wait for me."

Shen Lin sighed. He did not invade like Liu San and Li Leping. Instead, he turned around and left and came to a barracks.

There are many survivors who escaped from Dahai City, probably thousands of them.

However, this number was just a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Dahai City. They gathered together, faces full of fear, and it was impossible to imagine what kind of shock they had suffered.

Shen Lin walked among them, but no one noticed him, as if he didn't exist.

As Shen Lin walked, his appearance, figure, and even clothes suddenly changed, and he became like a young man in his early twenties nearby.

The surrounding scenery has also changed.

It was no longer a barracks, but instead a busy street. Although it was already late at night, there was a huge crowd of people.

This is Dahai City, a city without night.

"Just let me see what happened."

……

"It seems like you two didn't have a very pleasant chat. You are father and son, there is no need to be so formal. Xiao Yang, there is a reason why Lao Yang didn't go back to see you and your son for so many years. As father and son, there is no overnight grudge."

In the Peace Hotel, Lin Yuan was counseling Yang Jian and Yang Xiao.

Yang Jian is usually quite aloof, but when faced with the chattering of the "store manager", he also put on a mask of pain.

Yang Xiao was listening with great interest and was even admiring Yang Jian's expression. Suddenly, Yang Jian looked over with murderous eyes.

Yang Xiao then remembered that he still needed help from Yang Jian, and quickly said, "Boss Lin, you misunderstood. There is no conflict between Xiao Yang and I, and we had a good chat."

"What do you mean we had a good chat? If we really had a good chat, would he have such an expression? Come on, Lao Yang, even though you have basically never made any purchases in our store, we are all acquaintances after all, and I promised you something, so how can I give up halfway?"

Lin Yuan's righteous words confused Yang Xiao, "Boss Lin, haven't you already done what you promised me?"

What he had asked Lin Yuan to do before was just to give Yang Jian a message, asking Yang Jian to come to the Peace Hotel to see him.

Could it be that I have lost my memory and forgotten what I asked the "store manager" for?

But he didn't notice that Yang Jian looked at him more sharply, wondering if he had misunderstood something.

Seeing that Yang Jian seemed to be about to attack Yang Xiao, Lin Yuan quickly took Yang Jian to the cashier and said helplessly: "You still have such a big grudge against your father for not coming home for so many years? Although he is indeed not a very good father, look at him now. He can only store his consciousness in a robot body. I don't know what kind of torture he suffered. If it weren't for the advanced technology, he might have died. You should be more considerate."

This is why Lin Yuan is willing to help Yang Xiao - soft-heartedness and sympathy.

In a desperate world like the mysterious resurrection, for the weak, these two emotions have the potential to drag them into the abyss of despair.

But for the strong, this is a good quality.

Obviously, Lin Yuan belongs to the latter.

Yang Jian knew that if he didn't change his attitude, he would probably be dragged by the "store manager" and kept nagging him, so he could only compromise and said, "I understand, Brother Yuan, I will try to get along with him. But he is trapped in the post office now, and I don't have enough money to redeem him, so this is the only way for now."

"It's okay, young man, just make money well." Lin Yuan patted Yang Jian's shoulder, then made an "OK" gesture to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao sighed.

"When did you and the store manager get in touch? How come I didn't know about it?" Zhang Xianguang walked up to Yang Xiao with a confused look on his face.

The previous few times Yang Xiao came to the Peace Hotel, he was brought by Zhang Xianguang, which did not give Yang Xiao any chance to get along with the "store manager".

So, “Those three supernatural ads, did you use them?”

"This has nothing to do with you. Why don't you go and chat with your 'twin'?" Yang Xiao asked back.

The word "twins" is extremely sarcastic.

Unfortunately, for Zhang Xianguang, such verbal stimulation had no effect at all. "He has something else to do, so he went to work."

The supernatural event in Dahai City is the paranormal resurrection of the cemetery owner Luo Qian after his death.

Others may not know, but Zhang Xianguang knows it best.

What he knew even more clearly was that the mysterious place named Endless Cemetery by Luo Qianna by those who feared him actually corresponded to Fu Shou Garden in Dahai City.

Luo Qian died and the evil spirit revived.

The fact that the situation was not effectively contained in the first place led to the fall of Dahai City, and all of this was actually inseparable from Zhang Xianguang.

Few people knew this, including Yang Xiao.

But he also knew very well that Zhang Xianguang in front of him was not as harmless as he appeared to be. "Can I ask a question?"

Zhang Xianguang smiled and said, "You say."

"You are so weak, why are the prices at the store manager's place so much higher than mine?" Yang Xiao stared straight into Zhang Xianguang's eyes.

Zhang Xianguang's smile remained unchanged. "Maybe, you think I'm more handsome."

puff!

Xiao An and Xiao Xi, who were passing by to clean up the dishes, couldn't help laughing when they heard this. Especially when they saw Zhang Xianguang's gorilla face with extreme seriousness at this moment, they really wanted to ask:
What about the face?

Zhang Xianguang sighed. The atmosphere of the duel between the two heroes was ruined. This made him a little suspicious:
Could it be that what I am holding now is the script of a comedy?

With this interruption, Yang Xiao also smiled, "Lao Zhang, we have known each other for some years. If you still want me to trust you, then come find me after you return to the post office."

Zhang Xianguang smiled bitterly and said, "A beating?"

Yang Xiao did not answer, but just looked at him deeply, then said hello to Lin Yuan and left the Peace Hotel.

"What a scary guy. It's a pity that he died too early."

Zhang Xianguang restrained his smile, glanced at Yang Jian who was happily chatting with Lin Yuan (Yang Jian: Is there something wrong with your eyes?), and left the Peace Hotel.

Of course, the meal payment is made before the dishes are served. This is the current rule of the Peace Hotel.

You have to pay the bill before eating, this rule is really outrageous in a restaurant, but behind every outrageous rule, there is an even more outrageous reason.

So everyone is quite understanding.

"Xiao Yang, you have entered society now, and you must learn to be mature." Lin Yuan said earnestly.

Yang Jian nodded, but he felt extremely depressed.

In this situation, the only person who can say such things to him is the "store manager". What if it is someone else?

Ha ha!

After satisfying the "store manager's" desire to preach, Yang Jian quickly said goodbye and left. Judging from his speed, it seemed that he was about to run away.

Lin Yuan asked He Yuelian with some doubt, "Am I that scary?"

"Children are like this. They don't like to be preached to. Brother Yuan, you will understand when you have children in the future." Liu Qingqing interrupted from behind.

Lin Yuan said angrily: "I don't even have a girlfriend now, where did the child come from? You just talk nonsense."

"Can't I have a child without a girlfriend?" Liu Qingqing asked back.

There was a strong expression of doubt on her delicate face. Such innocent words, coming from the mouth of a beautiful white-collar woman with a slim figure wearing a cheongsam and high heels, sounded provocative and even tempting.

"..."

Lin Yuan fled in panic. In order to hide his panic, he went straight to Cao Yang and his friends' table.

Cao Yang put down his chopsticks with a smile, "Brother Yuan, you've taken a long time. Look, we've all finished eating. How about you bring two more dishes?"

"piss off!"

Lin Yuan retorted angrily, feeling Liu Qingqing's undisguised fiery gaze behind him, he was a little at a loss for a moment.

This kind of "store manager" is really fresh!

The "store manager" used to appear very calm in front of everyone and seemed very unfathomable, but how come he has become like an innocent boy now?
Are you serious?

Cao Yang wanted to tease him, but seeing Lin Yuan's increasingly hostile smile, he could only change the subject, "Brother Yuan, how is the game development in the e-sports room going recently? Is there any new progress? In my opinion, the difficulty is still too high. We have played it several times and have never completed it once. It's easy to lose interest."

When it comes to the e-sports room, Lin Yuan also put Liu Qingqing behind his mind.

"What you said makes sense. Let me take a look. I went abroad a few days ago and brought Lao Hei back with me. I really didn't pay much attention to the virtual game adjustments in the e-sports room. But there is still time now, I will go and take a look later, and if possible, I will appropriately reduce the difficulty."

The customer is God! But God also has different levels. For example, God doesn’t want those who have no money but still want to dine for free.

People like Cao Yang, who bring large amounts of money to the store every now and then, are the customers that Lin Yuan needs to maintain.

Moreover.

Games are meant to be fun to play, and he had made adjustments based on this principle before. But in the end, no matter whether it was a stand-alone game or an online game, none of Cao Yang's friends could complete it.

Obviously, the difficulty of the game has been reduced.

Or is it that I have a misunderstanding of the difficulty of the game, which is why I have such thoughts?
Perhaps, I should go in and test it myself?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly asked, "Lao Wei, Lao Zhang, you also think the game is difficult, right?"

Wei Jing and Zhang Lei looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Boss, I'm not going to say that this game is extremely difficult. It was okay in the beginning, just like a lawn mowing game, but when it comes to the BOSS stage, it's simply not playable for humans, it's too difficult. In the early stage we mowed the grass of the monsters, and in the later stage the BOSS mowed our grass. There was no experience in the later stage." Zhang Lei couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart.

Wei Jing also agreed with his statement, "Old Zhang is right, Boss Lin, the balance of this game does need to be optimized. Of course, other aspects are still quite good, and the plot setting is also good."

Lin Yuan looked at Li Jun and Ah Hong again.

Li Jun was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "I don't play games, so I won't give you any suggestions."

Ah Hong nodded obediently, looking like she was following her husband's lead.

Neither she nor Li Jun felt that there was anything wrong until they noticed Lin Yuan's ambiguous look, then they were both stunned.

"Haha! Don't be shy, it's just a relationship, it's nothing."

Lin Yuan made a joke and did not give Li Jun and Ah Hong a chance to refute. He turned to Cao Yang and the others and said, "How many of you are playing tonight? Just the three of you? Are you playing an online game or a stand-alone game?"

"With just the three of us, it would be best to play the game online. It will be more interesting this way." Cao Yang said.

Lin Yuan nodded, and suddenly asked again, "Wouldn't it be better to join the confrontation?"

confrontation?

Cao Yang and his companions were all stunned, as if they had not expected such a statement. However, when they thought about it carefully, everything made sense.

In the eyes of the "store manager", the e-sports room on the second floor is just an e-sports room, and the virtual games are just virtual games.

Since it is a game, what kind of multiplayer game is the most attractive?
For gamers, this game has different answers, but for the "store manager", it seems that player-versus-player games are more interesting?
But how to fight against it?

Cao Yang pointed at the three of them and said, "Brother Yuan, you won't let the three of us play our own games and compete with each other in the game, right?"

If you die in the game, you are not really dead, but you will lose a certain amount of supernatural power, which you need to replenish by spending "money" in the Peace Hotel.

This is a ghost!
Even though it is not difficult to imprison a ghost with their current strength, any supernatural event is risky.

No need, really no need.

Zhang Lei suddenly said, "Boss, if the game is mainly based on player confrontation, will the monsters be weakened?"

this problem……

Cao Yang and Wei Jing's eyes lit up and they looked at Zhang Lei with admiration.

If the strength of the ghosts in the virtual game is reduced, for example, the number of ghost catchers to be suppressed is reduced from 11 to 5.

Although the benefits after defeating the ghost boss will be less, it is better than getting nothing.

and.

The 5 places for mindless suppression are also a very terrifying supernatural force!
"I already have some ideas. Just wait and play games tonight. By the way, remember to pay first. You all know the rules of this store."

Lin Yuan smiled confidently and then urged.

“Brother Yuan, you are this!”

Cao Yang gave Lin Yuan a thumbs up, then stood up and went to the cashier to pay.

Wei Jing and Zhang Lei also followed suit. Only Li Jun and Ah Hong were still sitting in their seats, feeling very uncomfortable under Lin Yuan's ambiguous gaze.

"Boss, did you misunderstand something?"

Li Jun felt that he should explain it, and Ah Hong nodded repeatedly beside him, but the way she stole glances at Li Jun from time to time revealed some of her thoughts and ideas.

Lin Yuan saw all of this and laughed, "No need to hide it, Xiao Guo told me everything."

Xiao Guo?

Guo Fan?

What did that asshole say?

Li Jun rarely gets angry because of personal issues, but now he is really angry. Just as he is about to continue asking questions, the strange voice of the watchdog, the starving ghost, Lao Hua, suddenly sounded outside the door:

“Welcome~”

Are there guests?
The Peace Hotel has been doing good business recently, with people coming and going, which is nothing new.

But Ah Hong was relieved because the "store manager" finally shifted his attention away. The two looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Fortunately, we didn't continue. Otherwise, if we were chosen by the store manager, our relationship would have been confirmed."

Ah Hong said this in a voice that only she and Li Jun could hear, but there was a hint of regret in her words.

Li Jun didn't hear it, he was still angry, "Guo Fan actually dared to make up stories about us in front of the store manager. I have to talk to him after get off work today."

Ah Hong nodded absentmindedly, and suddenly pointed outside the door and said, "He's here."

Ok?
Li Jun turned his head and looked outside the door, only to see two people walking into the store one after the other. The ones walking in front were Zhou, the person in charge of the headquarters?
Li Jun had some impression of this young man.

Zhou Deng was first noticed by the headquarters because he entered the Peace Hotel by chance and was eventually absorbed.

But this kid is not a clean man and always likes to steal things.

Although he rarely attacked his colleagues at the headquarters and only stole things from ghosts and enemies, Li Jun's personality meant that he could not get along with such people.

But, I won't do anything tricky.

And now, Zhou Deng was walking in front with a smile on his face, while Guo Fan was following behind Zhou Deng with an angry look on his face.

Ha ha!

Even with Li Jun's temperament, he couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune. Although he didn't know what happened, but:
You deserve it. Who told you to smile?
"Hey, everyone is here? Brother Yuan, I'm here. I didn't see you the last few times I came here. I missed you so much."

Zhou Deng walked in with a smile, and greeted Cao Yang and the others, then sat down next to Lin Yuan. "But Brother Yuan, the voice of the old man at the door of your store is too annoying. It makes people walk over here unconsciously. A welcome message kept us in check for more than ten seconds!"

“That just shows how effective it is.”

Lin Yuan was quite satisfied, although he thought Zhou Deng was talking nonsense.

Lao Hua ate a parrot monster and learned to speak, but the most he can say is "Welcome~". It's not a borderline video, so how can he control someone like Zhou Deng?

It turns out that he has made his way up the ladder. Even after joining the headquarters, he keeps saying nice things.

Lin Yuan smiled and looked behind Zhou Deng. Guo Fan had already caught up with him, looking very angry. "Boss, this guy stole my things and stole my camera!"

"Ahem! It just happened. Sorry, sorry."

Seeing that Lin Yuan was about to get angry, Zhou Deng quickly took out the camera and returned it to Guo Fan. "How about this, I'll treat you to a meal as an apology?"

Ok?
Will there still be food to eat?
Guo Fan originally wanted to argue about it, but when he heard Zhou Deng's sincerity, his attitude softened.

There is no way, when people are poor they have low aspirations!
He works at the Peace Hotel, but does not have support from the headquarters. If he wants to spend money at the Peace Hotel, he has to spend his own money.

However, the minimum price of consuming a ghost was still prohibitive for Guo Fan.

Although I get a salary, it's only three dollars a month, which is enough for a plate of stir-fried meat. How can it be enough to spend?

Moreover.

The salary paid by Peace Hotel is real ghost money, not a ghost's money. This is something that can save lives. Who would be stupid enough to actually buy food in the store?
"You kid, it looks like you've become a wealthy man. I haven't seen you at the headquarters recently, where did you go to make your fortune?"

Cao Yang walked over and patted Zhou Deng on the shoulder with his big hand.

Zhou Deng chuckled and said, "It's not that I've made a fortune. I just went to some unowned places and borrowed some things. I'll return them when the owner comes back. By the way, why are there so many people here today?"

"Well, we don't have anything to do today, so we decided to come to the store to play games. By the way, since you are so rich, do you want to play with us? We are short of one person, right?"

Cao Yang extended an invitation.

Zhou Deng was confused. "What kind of e-sports room is this? What's so fun about it?"

Cao Yang glanced at Lin Yuan, then pulled Zhou Deng up and quietly introduced the effects of the e-sports room to the side.

I heard that if you imprison an evil ghost in e-sports, you can control that ghost.

Moreover, death does not mean real death. It only reduces a part of the spiritual limit, and you can make up for it by eating in the store. Zhou Deng was immediately tempted.

"Then I will team up with you. By the way, how many times have you successfully passed the level?" Zhou Deng asked the most crucial question.

Cao Yang's face flushed, pretending he didn't hear, and asked back: "I forgot to tell you just now, the price of the e-sports room is quite expensive. Three ghosts a night is the minimum, and you also need to prepare one ghost to fill in the gaps in case of failure. Do you have enough?"

"Will supernatural items work?"

As Zhou Deng spoke, he began to search his body. No one knew where he got these things from, but a large pile of things appeared in front of everyone.

Three-point wooden sword...

Red armband...

Rusty iron bell...

Cao Yang's eyes widened. "Holy crap! Is being a thief so lucrative?"
