I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 366: Money Printing Machine, Timeline Moved Forty Years Forward

"Two dishes. It's my treat today."

Zhang Xianguang sat directly next to Yang Xiao, looking very familiar, which made Yang Xiao and Yang Jian frown.

Yang Jian was fine, frowning was normal.

But Yang Xiao is a robot now, with a screen on his head and Yang Xiao's face drawn on the screen. When he makes these rich expressions, it looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

"Sorry, we don't welcome you." Yang Jian said rudely.

Yang Xiao and Zhang Xianguang didn't have a falling out, but it was almost like that. But now they were still eating in the restaurant together, which made Yang Jian very confused.

Zhang Xianguang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go eat over there while you guys chat."

Having said that, Zhang Xianguang only moved slightly.

The tables in the store are all large round tables that can seat twelve people. Even if Zhang Xianguang moved to the side, he could still hear the conversation between Yang Jian and Yang Xiao.

Yang Jian and Yang Xiao looked at each other, then said to Lin Yuan: "Brother Yuan, can you give me a suggestion?"

"Of course you can. As long as the suggestion is reasonable, you can make it. Xiao He, take this suggestion book and let Xiao Yang fill it out."

Lin Yuan took out an A4-sized notebook from the cash register. On the cover of the notebook were three large characters:

Comments book!
When Yang Jian took the suggestion book, his heart moved. Now under the watchful eye of the "store manager", he couldn't use his psychic powers, but his perception was still there.

This seemingly ordinary suggestion book also exudes a supernatural aura and is obviously a supernatural object.

It’s really... luxurious!

After discovering this, Yang Jian was not too nervous. This was the Peace Hotel, and no supernatural incidents could happen without the "manager's" permission.

Don’t you see that the wish-making ghosts, the hugging ghosts, the wax corpses, the starving ghosts, the ghost messengers, the door-knocking ghosts, etc. are all behaving well?
Forget about triggering the killing pattern. In the Peace Hotel, the "store manager's" cognition is the killing pattern. If the "store manager" thinks that the watchdog should not fight back after being beaten, then even if he slaps the knocking ghost twice now, the knocking ghost will just squat at the door stupidly without any unusual movement.

Just as he expected, opening the suggestion book had no effect. The suggestion book only contained simple A4-sized pages with a pen tied to it, on which one could write down his opinions.

Yang Jian picked up the pen and said as he wrote: "Brother Yuan, you see, most of the people who come to the restaurant to eat are alone or in pairs, rarely five or six, or even eight or nine. There is only one big round table in the restaurant, so it is easy for everyone to squeeze together. If possible, it would be better to get a few tables for four or two, so that everyone can have some privacy."

When he finished speaking and writing, Yang Jian handed the suggestion book back to He Yuelian, and glanced at the gorilla Zhang Xianguang who was sitting two seats away.

That's right, it's you.

They have all turned into gorillas and still have no sense of boundaries.

If I really want you to hear everything, then why bother coming to the Peace Hotel? Wouldn't it be more convenient and simpler to just talk in the ghost post office?

Zhang Xianguang responded with a faint smile, but since he now had a gorilla face, it was hard to tell what his smile meant.

Lin Yuan said: "So that's it. I did have this thought before. But there are always customers coming to the store, but no one seems to have any objections. I thought everyone likes the hustle and bustle now."

"Maybe the others are more reserved."

What Yang Jian actually wanted to say was that everyone was afraid to say more. This was not an ordinary hotel, but a supernatural hotel, and a hotel that made everyone feel dangerous and unable to resist.

You have to be very careful when speaking so as not to trigger the killing pattern in the store, let alone give suggestions.

If you really raise an opinion and make the "store manager" angry, you'll be asking for trouble. Besides, in such a dangerous place, I guess few people would care whether you sit alone or with a few others.

Or, would it be safer for several people to sit together at a table?
"Okay, then I'll make some changes as you say. It's not a big deal. Maybe we can build some private rooms and charge a fee?"

Lin Yuan muttered softly, obviously taking Yang Jian's advice to heart.

However, this change will not take effect immediately. According to the usual practice of Peace Hotel, we will probably have to wait until tonight when no one is around, and then an inexplicable decoration team will come and carry out a round of emergency decoration in the store. We will be able to see the new store when we come back tomorrow.

"You are too reckless, but the result is good." Yang Xiao reminded.

Yang Jian poured Yang Xiao a glass of water. This was also an extra thing in the Peace Hotel. As long as the things proposed were available in a normal hotel, they would be taken from the kitchen. The most that mattered was the amount of money.

Looking at his attitude towards Yang Xiao, it doesn't seem like a son towards his father, but more like a relationship closer than ordinary friends.

"I just told the store manager that other people are more reserved. I'm different. I'm still a high school student and haven't experienced the beatings of society, so naturally I say whatever I want."

Yang Xiao looked at Yang Jian with a complicated expression, "I've heard people talk about your experiences over the years... You've worked hard."

"It's not a matter of whether it's hard or not. If we have to talk about hardship, it's my mother who has it harder. If there is a chance in the future, if you dare to find another woman, I will kill you with my own hands." Yang Jian suddenly looked up and stared at Yang Xiao with a firm gaze.

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. But it seems that we can't talk about business today, because Lao Zhang is eavesdropping all the time."

"This is not eavesdropping, but listening openly. After all, you guys are not speaking quietly, how about you whisper in each other's ears?" Zhang Xianguang replied directly without being polite.

Yang Jian's eyes turned cold, and he was just about to use his reckless character, who had not experienced the harsh punishments of society, to make a name for himself when Zhang Xianguang suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, I have to go and talk about business too, you guys talk about your own things."

After saying that, he walked towards another table, where another Zhang Xianguang was sitting.

People's views of other special species basically look the same, but there are so many more gorillas in the Peace Hotel, but each one has its own characteristics.

The petite cuteness of the King twins.

Fang Shiming’s thinness in the circle of friends.

As well as the two Zhang Xianguang, one is obviously a gorilla and the other is a robot, but you can tell at a glance that they are definitely more like twins than twins, which feels incredible.

Yang Jian retracted his gaze. "Sun Rui's strength is not enough, and his temperament is a bit frivolous, but he is energetic and ambitious. His performance in the past few deliveries was not bad, but whether he can make it to the final step depends on some opportunities. Peace Hotel is a visible opportunity. If he can control the new supernatural power in the Peace Hotel and get more resources, it is only natural for him to become the manager of the Ghost Post Office."

"How can there be so many things that go smoothly? If Sun Rui is not a good person, he is just a useless piece of mud. But the Peace Hotel has grown to a point where it can influence the world. It is really unexpected." Yang Xiao sighed, but he quickly adjusted his mood. "You are not just chatting about this, are you worried that Sun Rui will get out of control?"

Yang Jian played with the water cup in his hand. "A little kindness can turn into a grudge. I don't know if Sun Rui can stand this test, so I won't give him too many resources. Everything depends on him. After all, I haven't thought of controlling the Ghost Post Office through him. At most, I want a few favors. This may take a while. Can you wait?"

"I've been waiting for more than ten years. It's okay to wait a little longer." Yang Xiao smiled freely.

Yang Jian nodded, and suddenly thought of his mother in his hometown, but he didn't say much after all, "What's the matter with the ghost you left in your hometown?"

"What did you say?" Yang Xiao asked puzzledly.

Yang Jian stared into Yang Xiao's eyes, but he could not see anything unusual in Yang Xiao's eyes. He only said honestly, "It's a ghost."

Then, he told him about the last time Lin Yuan came to his hometown to help with the "treasure hunt" and what happened to the ghost at the end.

Of course, the dog is also indispensable.

Yang Xiao listened and said, "It should be something that happened after I left the Ghost Post Office, so I am not too clear. But after hearing what you said, I can probably guess some of it, after all, it is the same person. That ghost is the one I am controlling now, it is called Ghost Dream, and it can drag people into dreams. As for why Ghost Dream became like that, I am not too sure, but what is certain is that it is definitely something I left for you. It should be a special arrangement I made after encountering danger in reality. You can try to control that dog, it is a good supplement for you now. After all, top ghost riders cannot have shortcomings in consciousness, otherwise they will be easily targeted."

Yang Jian nodded and glanced at another table not far away. Two Zhang Xianguangs were also eating and chatting. Their voices were relatively quiet and could not be heard clearly from here.

This is the Peace Hotel.

All things related to the supernatural became waste under the suppression of the "store manager", so he no longer had the physical strength and fitness that surpassed ordinary people.

It's a pity.

"I remember the manager gave you a business card. You shouldn't use it to enter the Peace Hotel. It's risky." Yang Jian said.

Yang Xiao touched his bosom, and there was indeed a business card of the "store manager" Lin Yuan. "He hid too many things. Everything in the oil painting was too transparent. I need to hide something as a trump card."

He didn't explain it in detail, but Yang Jian understood what he meant.

The business was almost over. Just as Yang Jian was about to leave, Yang Xiao suddenly asked, "You are not young anymore. You should find a woman. It would be best if you can get married and have children as soon as possible. At least you should leave a bloodline for the Yang family."

Yang Jian stumbled, turned back to glare at Yang Xiao, then quickly left.

Yang Xiao couldn't help but burst into laughter, causing everyone else in the store to look over with confusion and curiosity. Naturally, he would not explain, but walked over to the table with the two Zhang Xianguangs and sat down without caring about Zhang Xianguang's cold expression. "What are you talking about? Can I listen? Don't worry, I'm just a useless person who can't produce oil paintings. Even if I know a secret, I can't pass it on."

Zhang Xianguang asked, "Yang Xiao, doesn't your face feel hot when you say this?"

Yang Xiao touched his face and said seriously, "It's not hot."

Zhang Xianguang: "..."

Ling Yiguang said: "We didn't discuss any secrets. We just talked about holding a banquet in my hometown in a few days. I wanted to invite everyone to go, including Yang Xiao. You are also my friend. It would be great if you can go."

Yang Xiao shook his head. "We are all spiritual beings, and we can't leave the oil painting."

"There are exceptions to everything. Just like you have left the Ghost Post Office and come to the Peace Hotel, there should be other ways if you want to go there." The spirit light said. Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked with great interest: "It seems that you have a way. Tell me about it?"

Ling Yiguang smiled but didn't say anything, just looked at Yang Xiao calmly.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, the thing you want has been salvaged. Take a look and see if it's this." Liu Qingqing walked in from outside, followed by two puppets and robots.

The two puppet robots were carrying an old money printing machine, which was still dripping with water. That was the water from the Ghost Lake.

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Is it true?"

"If Brother Yuan says there is, then there must be." Liu Qingqing came up to him with a smile, an expectant expression on her face, wanting to take credit.

"Thank you for your hard work. Your salary will be doubled this month."

Lin Yuan gave a reward, and although it was a very good reward, Liu Qingqing was a little disappointed, but she still thanked him sweetly.

Lin Yuan looked at the money printing machine.

Before he traveled through time, he was just an ordinary person. He had never seen a money printing machine and had never even used the Internet. Even if there was a money printing machine in front of him, he would not be able to recognize it.

What's more, this is a money printing machine from the Republic of China era.

However, Lin Yuan had a "golden finger", and soon he got the basic information of the money printing machine from the "golden finger":

【Instructions for use of banknote printer】

【Species name: unknown. 】

[Variety ability: By adding special paper and ink, corresponding coins can be made. ]

[Out of control level: low. ]

【Sales price: unknown.】

[Species status: Broken. ]

It is indeed a money printing machine. It seems that this should be the one in the money shop in Taiping Ancient Town. After being flooded by the water of Ghost Lake and Fish Pond, it has reached the bottom of the fish pond.

Unfortunately, it has been submerged in water for too long and is in a dilapidated state, so it cannot be used for the time being.

There are also special papers, inks and so on...

Lin Yuan frowned, which surprised Liu Qingqing who was standing beside him. "Brother Yuan, the things have been salvaged, right? Did we salvage the wrong things? This shouldn't be the case!"

She has a clear sense of the supernatural.

Although this money printing machine looks like an ordinary money printing machine, the supernatural power on it cannot be fake.

If her robot puppet was not also a supernatural creation, she might encounter an unknown attack if she touched it.

"It's not a mistake, but the printing machine is in worse condition than I thought. So, let them move the printing machine to the third floor so I can study it carefully."

"Okay Brother Yuan."

……

Dajing City Headquarters.

Cao Yanhua and Wang Xiaoming were already waiting in the conference room. They were waiting for Cao Yang and others to return from the Peace Hotel and record the information of last night's game.

As the manager of the supernatural files, Lu Zhiwen naturally rushed to the scene.

"Zhiwen, is there something wrong with your condition? Let's go to the Peace Hotel. The headquarters can still get a few ghosts out." Cao Yanhua noticed that there seemed to be more wooden lines on Lu Zhiwen's body, which were signs of being eroded by the spirit.

Lu Zhiwen put down the spinning pen and said, "Not yet. If possible, I would like to use the resources of the headquarters to suppress the resurrection of the evil spirits. If all else fails, I can try my luck on the ghost bus. As for the Peace Hotel, that is the last choice."

His condition is indeed not very good.

As one of the three captains of the headquarters, Lu Zhiwen is mostly doing clerical work, but his ability is truly at the captain level. However, the path he has taken has not yet made him a successful outlier.

As they were talking, Cao Yang and his companions came back and the meeting officially began.

This meeting should have been a relatively ordinary meeting, just like the previous meetings. As long as the information was recorded, there would basically be nothing else to do, and it would also allow Cao Yang and others to have a good rest.

However, when Cao Yang began to explain the background of last night's virtual game, everyone perked up.

"You mean, last night's virtual game was set in the ancient town of Taiping forty years ago?" Cao Yanhua perked up and glanced at Wang Xiaoming beside him.

Wang Xiaoming was still carrying the coffin lid on his back, his face was pale, and there were medical staff taking care of him.

I don't know if it was because he was lacking energy or for some other reason, but he didn't respond.

Cao Yanhua continued, "Before, we only used virtual games as an opportunity to solve supernatural events, but now it seems that it is also very helpful for our 'archaeological' work. Especially for the supernatural places like Taiping Ancient Town that have been passed down for decades, as well as the people and events inside. I just don't know if there is any news about the manager. This will be more helpful for us to understand the Peace Hotel and the manager."

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that Cao Yang, Li Leping, Zhang Lei and Zhou Deng were all staring at him.

The four top captain-level ghost riders stared at him like this. Even though Cao Yanhua had a strong character, his heart almost skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that what I said was right? The store manager really appeared in Taiping Ancient Town forty years ago?"

He was just joking, but Cao Yang said quietly, "Minister, you are right. We did see the store manager in the game last night."

When it comes to the topic of "store manager", Wang Xiaoming immediately perks up, his eyes shining, forming a sharp contrast with his weak body.

It's like a powerful spirit was stuffed into a sickly body. It's very strange.

"Tell me."

It took Wang Xiaoming a lot of effort to say these three words. After he finished speaking, he began to breathe rapidly. Fortunately, he did not cough, otherwise it would have been too difficult.

A trace of pity flashed across Cao Yang's eyes.

Wang Xiaoming's illness is very serious. He has been diagnosed with cancer, and it is in the middle to late stages.

This is a terminal illness for ordinary people, and they can only helplessly wait for the arrival of rudeness. But for ghost riders, especially the top ghost riders, as long as no evil ghosts revive, no disease can kill them, including cancer.

But Wang Xiaoming has always refused to use supernatural powers to heal himself.

The reason is very simple. He wants to be a pure person and does not want the supernatural to influence his thoughts and judgments, or affect his research.

Many people have advised Wang Xiaoming, but all of them have failed.

Although Wang Xiaoming was extremely weak, his will was much stronger and more serious than expected.

Putting all his thoughts aside, Cao Yang gave the right to speak to Zhou Deng, because Zhou Deng was the only one who had actually seen the store manager in the ghost street of Taiping Town last night.

Zhou Deng was naturally not stage-frightened and directly told what he saw and heard.

Lu Zhiwen wrote very quickly, and one could only hear the tip of the pen moving on the paper, recording the information he heard.

"He only showed up once, but now we can confirm that the store manager is indeed not from our time, but from at least forty years ago, or even sixty or seventy years ago. And according to Zhou Deng, the store manager forty years ago was not as strange or magical as he is now, but a normal ghost rider."

Cao Yanhua's words made everyone look strange.

Since when can a ghost rider be described as "normal"?
However, thinking about Lin Yuan’s current state, a confirmed ghost rider state is indeed more normal than the current state.

"More than forty years ago, He Liansheng and Boss Liu should have been young men in their teens and twenties, so they must have memories of the store manager's appearance. Perhaps, Taiping Town has information records about the store manager? Contact He Yiner. There must be a reason why she can stand so firmly on the side of the store manager. Even if she is not old enough, as a contemporary inheritor of Taiping Town, she should know a lot of secrets." Cao Yanhua made a decision.

Lu Zhiwen stopped writing, "He Liansheng is dead, and He Yin'er is keeping vigil for him. It should take seven days for now. If you go to He Yin'er to get information, aren't you afraid of being kicked out of the mourning hall?"

"He Yin'er is still the captain of our headquarters and the person in charge of Dayuan City. Let's go there in the name of condolences and talk about the store manager. Li Jun and Ah Hong are still guarding Zhongzhou City, so let's notify them to go."

Things were arranged quickly and the record of this round of games was completed.

Wang Xiaoming's body could not hold on any longer, so he was the first to leave. However, the rest did not leave. On the contrary, several people rushed over.

Liu San, Wei Jing.

Their arrival also indicates that the captains and persons in charge present will begin competing for opportunities to participate in a new round of virtual games.

Cao Yanhua was troubled by this scene. "Now there are only six people competing, what about the future?"
