I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 367: Looking for Him in History, Minister Cao of Service
"Professor Wang, you should go and rest now instead of going back to the laboratory."

Wang Xiaoming turned around with difficulty, "Minister Cao, you should be in charge of the work in the conference room now, instead of talking to a dying man like me."

Cao Yanhua smiled. He didn't expect that Wang Xiaoming's health was so bad that he actually looked a little more human than before and was choking.

Instead of being angry, I felt very amused.

"The headquarters will not give them the resources to participate in the virtual game, so naturally they have to find the quota themselves. As long as they don't fight, the headquarters will not intervene. Professor Wang, your body needs rest now. And I have already told Cao Yang and the others that I will find a chance to talk to the store manager and solve the problem of you carrying this coffin lid."

Wang Xiaoming shook his head. "It has nothing to do with it. My body is almost at its limit. Cancer is not a problem we can overcome right now. Don't tell me about using supernatural powers to save myself. If I wanted to do that, I would have become a ghost rider long ago."

"If Professor Wang is willing to become a ghost rider, you will definitely be a top ghost rider and may even lead an era." Cao Yanhua didn't need to flatter Wang Xiaoming, these were his sincere words.

At the same time, he also felt a little regretful.

Wang Xiaoming has an extremely high IQ and EQ, but he just doesn't want to use them. He is also very rational. Even though he has been facing the dual torture of physical and mental pain for a long time, he can still ensure that he can work and study in the most normal state.

If such a person could become a ghost rider, his achievement would definitely be much higher than that of an ordinary person.

"The supernatural will erode people's brains. All my achievements come from my brain. If it is eroded, I may not be much better than others." Wang Xiaoming said.

Cao Yanhua said nothing more. He accompanied Wang Xiaoming to walk this section of the road quietly. Looking at the thin man beside him, he suddenly said, "What if we go to the Peace Hotel? What if we can find out more secrets about the Peace Hotel and the manager?"

Wang Xiaoming turned around and stared at Cao Yanhua for a long time, "If I really go there, will I still be myself in the future?"

Wang Xiaoming left with resolute determination.

Cao Yanhua thought a lot, until Cao Yang came to his side and woke him up, he asked the main business, "Have the places for tonight been decided?"

"Everyone drew lots and it's decided. My luck was not very good today, and I'm not as rich as Zhou Deng, so I was not selected. The final winners are Li Leping, Wei Jing, Liu San and Zhang Lei." Cao Yang replied.

Cao Yanhua said: "If you can't pass the game, you can only gain benefits according to your points. Then this choice is fair. Are you letting me win?"

Cao Yang smiled and did not answer the question. "It's a good day to take a break. I plan to go back to Otsu City. My contact said that a supernatural incident occurred in Otsu City. It is temporarily defined as Class B. If it is not handled properly, the situation may continue to escalate."

"Okay, if you have any problem, just contact me directly and I will send someone to support you." Cao Yanhua said.

Cao Yang waved his hand casually, "No need to waste the headquarters' resources. I still have some collections in my hands. If I really can't handle it, I'll call the store manager. At most, I can order a few more takeouts. Anyway, the food in the store is getting better and better. Minister, I have a suggestion. Why don't we let Tong Qian transfer to become a chef in the future? Her cooking skills are really good."

Cao Yanhua said expressionlessly: "Your suggestion is very good, don't mention it again next time."

After seeing Cao Yang off, Cao Yanhua came to the command center. Seeing him coming, Zhao Jianguo, who was in charge here, hurried to greet him.

Knowing Cao Yanhua's working habits, he didn't say anything nonsense. "The current situation in the country is relatively stable. Although there have been many B-level and A-level supernatural events, most of them are within the controllable range. No new S-level supernatural events have occurred. Of course, this is without counting virtual game events."

Every time a virtual game is played in the e-sports room of the Peace Hotel, at least one real city will be enveloped. This is also a terrifying S-level supernatural event.

But unfortunately, this S-level supernatural incident is destined to be unsolvable.

At least with the current strength of the headquarters, even with the background of Mr. Qin, there is nothing they can do to the Peace Hotel and its manager. So they simply did not cause any casualties and acquiesced to its existence.

Compared to this, he cared more about something else.

"I need to carefully check the historical records of the past hundred years, as well as the county annals of various places. I want to find information about the Peace Hotel and its manager."

This is an extremely labor-intensive arrangement.

However, with supernatural events becoming more and more frequent, the headquarters' voice in the country has become increasingly important. To achieve this, all it needs is time, without having to consider too much resistance.

Zhao Jianguo nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

He is responsible for the persons in charge in various places, but the power of the headquarters extends beyond just these persons in charge. Behind each person in charge of a city, there is an extremely complete set of work and service systems, which assist the persons in charge in handling supernatural events while also being responsible for the daily stability of a city.

As long as the tasks are broken down and investigations are carried out in all localities, results can be obtained in the shortest possible time.

But there is also a problem with doing this. "Minister, if we do this, the news about the store manager can't be concealed. Even ordinary people will know about it."

This is equivalent to advertising for the Peace Hotel nationwide!

"It doesn't matter if they know. Even if they want to go to the Peace Hotel, they can't. That's a place only ghost riders and evil spirits can go. At most, they are just curious. As for the ghost riders, the last time the Peace Hotel distributed supernatural advertisements nationwide, except for a few who hid in safe houses or were trapped in golden body bags, is there anyone who doesn't know about the existence of the Peace Hotel?"

This is quite true.

Among the people, and even on the dark web, news about the Peace Hotel and its manager was spreading like wildfire.

Not to mention the whole country, even ghost riders all over the world know about the existence of the Peace Hotel and the terrifying and despairing existence of the manager.

However, apart from the domestic ghost hunters who have received the supernatural advertisements and those who have personally experienced the supernatural events, no one really believes what the foreign ghost hunters say.

after all……

This is too absurd. How could there be such a terrifying and powerful existence that can change the state of a ghost rider at will and turn a person into a gorilla just by speaking?

Using evil spirits as ingredients is simply hilarious. Anyone who believes this is a fool!
Zhao Jianguo didn't say anything else, but just followed Cao Yanhua's orders and searched for information about the Peace Hotel and its manager across the country.

"The store manager decades ago was a ghost rider, and since it's been so long, there shouldn't be many records left behind."

Lu Zhiwen came over at some point, holding the notebook he had just sealed in his hand.

Cao Yanhua said: "As long as he was once a human being, he would have his own life trajectory. Even if he lived a hundred or two hundred years ago, as long as he was not an ordinary person, he would have left some records, which could be a few words or some kind of record."

"There is also a possibility that the record he left behind might not be the Peace Hotel, but another name. For example, Yuelai Inn?" Lu Zhiwen said.

Cao Yanhua turned his head and looked at him. "This is a good idea. I will ask someone to look up information in this regard. Thank you."

Lu Zhiwen: "..."

He had finally made a joke, but Cao Yanhua took it so seriously, as if he had made a very important suggestion, which made him feel helpless.

Forget it.

"My condition is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. I hope Minister Cao can approve my application and allow me to look for opportunities on the ghost bus."

Cao Yanhua frowned and said, "Really not considering the Peace Hotel?"

"I am now recording history. If it were in ancient times, I would be like a historian. Since I am a historian, I should be impartial. I can't be like Professor Wang, who would rather die than accept the power of the supernatural, but I must at least ensure that my position will not change. So this time when I go to the ghost bus, in addition to suppressing the resurrection of evil spirits, I also want to find new consciousness-type supernatural beings, at least to ensure that I will not be affected mentally when I stay in the Peace Hotel for a short time."

Lu Zhiwen is very clear about his path and his career plan.

Cao Yanhua said: "I have no reason to stop you, so let it be. Shen Liang, arrange for someone to check the location of the ghost bus."

The headquarters used some means to place a satellite positioning phone on the ghost bus, which can locate the ghost bus at any time.

Of course, the premise is that the ghost bus has not entered an unknown supernatural place and can only be located in reality.

Lu Zhiwen was lucky because he soon got information about the ghost bus.

"Dayuan City? It's Captain Yinzi...it's the city that He Yiner is in charge of. But He Yiner is keeping vigil for He Liansheng now, and is not in Dayuan City. There haven't been any supernatural events in Dayuan City recently. The ghost bus only stops at each stop for five minutes. It seems you have to wait. In your current condition, it should not be appropriate for you to use the ghost domain again." Cao Yanhua said.

Lu Zhiwen nodded, "My current condition is indeed not suitable, but I can ask others to take me there."

"It seems that you are very determined. Okay, let Wei Jing take you there. He will go to the Peace Hotel in the evening and should not have left yet."

Lu Zhiwen is a hidden member in the headquarters. He is usually responsible for some special security work and organizing files of supernatural events.

He himself is very special and important.

Especially now, he is also responsible for the data records of the Peace Hotel and its manager, and manages it through unknown supernatural forces. Its importance is naturally self-evident.

If possible, Cao Yanhua did not want Lu Zhiwen to leave. But what Lu Zhiwen said was not wrong. When he was influenced by the spirit of the Peace Hotel and developed an inappropriate affection for the manager, how credible would the information he recorded in the future be?

Even though they realized the incomprehensible horror of the store manager, both Cao Yanhua and the others at the headquarters still had a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope... to control the Peace Hotel and the store manager.

Wei Jing had indeed not left yet. After hearing the order, he immediately used the ghost domain to take Lu Zhiwen to Dayuan City.

……

The money printing machine was large and heavy, so it was just right for two robots to carry it. They moved it to the room on the third floor.

Liu Qingqing did not leave immediately, and Lin Yuan did not force her.

Tong Qian is still in the kitchen on the first floor. There aren't enough customers in the store right now to require two cooks, so there's no need to worry about them being too busy.

Liu Qingqing sent the two puppets and robots back and walked to Lin Yuan curiously, "Brother Yuan, are you really planning to open a bank?"

"The trading model in the restaurant is a bit backward. Barter is a very ancient trading method. If it is convenient, I won't say anything. It can also be regarded as a special trading model. However, this trading method has affected the normal operation of the restaurant. Didn't you see that every time someone eats a few dishes, Xiao An and Xiao Xi, the two sisters, have to move the animals together? It's still okay now. Everyone is not particularly wealthy. It's just one or two dishes, or two people with one dish. But what if there are more dishes later?" Lin Yuan sighed.

"Let's not talk about the distant future. Let's talk about the banquet that Lao Zhang is going to prepare in a few days. I went to find out specifically. There will be at least nine dishes, and they are all big dishes. I plan to sell them to him for seven yuan each, so nine dishes will cost sixty-three yuan. Even if there are only twenty-one animals traded for one table, it will be quite troublesome to trade. But Lao Zhang is not from Dachuan City, so why would he talk about a banquet? This is a bit strange."

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes, "Maybe you've been to Dachuan City, so you know something about it. But Brother Yuan, you're still thinking long-term, but this money printing machine seems to be broken, where can we find someone to repair it?"

It must be repaired.

However, a money printing machine is always a treasure. Even though Cao Yang said that he could hold it privately and open a bank through the money printing machine, Lin Yuan did not believe it so easily.

Unless the situation is bad to a certain extent, there is no way the headquarters would give the authority to print banknotes to a private individual. This is unscientific!

This matter still needs to be communicated with the headquarters. Lin Yuan doesn't want to be locked up behind bars like this.

No, no.

If we communicate in this way, will you force me to hand over the money printing machine?
Before he got the money printing machine, Lin Yuan was worried about it. Now that he has it, he has more things to worry about.

"Business is getting better and better, but there are more and more things to do. It's really troublesome."

Lin Yuan sighed, but some things still need to be communicated, and he had already told Cao Yang about the money printing machine. At that time, Li Leping, Zhang Lei, Zhou Deng and other people from the headquarters were there, so this matter could not be concealed.

No matter how depressed you are, you still have to do things.

Just as he was thinking, a pair of soft little hands were placed on both sides of his forehead, and Liu Qingqing's gentle voice came from behind him, "Brother Yuan, are you too tired? Let me help you with the massage. Although I haven't learned it specifically, I have massaged my family members before, so it should be pretty good."

"Yes... it's pretty good. But I have something important to do right now. Let's go downstairs. I can make a phone call."

The body's feelings cannot be lied to, but the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became ambiguous, and Lin Yuan did not want to talk about personal matters yet.

Women will only affect the development speed of Peace Hotel!

Lin Yuan pushed Liu Qingqing's hand away, stood up and walked downstairs.

Liu Qingqing was not angry, but smiled with a little pride, "Brother Yuan is not without feelings for me, he is just restraining himself. As long as I work hard, I may have a chance to become the boss's wife. But..."

She suddenly thought of her "illness" and couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's wait a little longer. If this so-called schizophrenia can't be cured, I'll capture Brother Yuan. Wouldn't that be a bargain for the other me? I'm not that stupid."

Thump thump thump!

The series of footsteps surprised He Yuelian. Looking at Lin Yuan who seemed to be running down the street, she asked in confusion, "Brother Yuan, is there something urgent?"

"Okay, I'll make a call and you go ahead with your business." Lin Yuan replied casually, then went to the cashier counter and picked up the phone to call Cao Yanhua.

He Yuelian was confused until she saw Liu Qingqing walking down from upstairs gracefully. Then she understood something. Her eyes became alert and a little anxious.

Originally, when the supernatural light came today, she still had a lot of hatred in her heart and wanted to trick the other party.

But seeing the state of Liu Qingqing and Lin Yuan, she didn't have time to care about the supernatural light. She directly pulled Liu Qingqing aside and asked in a low voice, "What did you do upstairs?"

"I didn't do anything. I just went to study the money printing machine. It was such a short time, just a few minutes. What could I do?" Liu Qingqing looked calm.

But He Yuelian didn't believe it at all.

A few minutes is a few minutes. Lin Yuan looks so healthy, it is impossible for it to be over in a few minutes, but there are still many other things to do.

There are so many intimate things, who says there is only that kind?

Seeing He Yuelian's flustered expression, Liu Qingqing's lips curled up slightly.

They usually have a good relationship, but when it comes to the position of "store manager", they are still in competition. Everyone wants to be the boss lady, but there is only one boss lady.

Lin Yuan didn't have the heart to care about the intrigues of the two beauties in the store. He had already told Cao Yanhua about the money printing machine, and Cao Yanhua obviously knew about it.

In this case, Lin Yuan can only try his best.

"Cao Yang told me when he came back that the money printing machine was from the Republic of China period, right? We have already held a meeting to discuss this. Now that we have a new currency, although it has not yet been recognized by everyone, the direction of the headquarters will not change. The money printed during the Republic of China period is no longer recognized by the headquarters and has circulation value. Even if it is printed, as long as it does not enter the market for circulation and is only used for small-scale collection and exchange, the headquarters will not punish it."

Cao Yanhua did not lie either.

At the meeting today, Cao Yang brought up the issue of the money printing machine. At that time, Cao Yanhua studied the topic carefully and, with the advice of think tanks such as Wang Xiaoming, gave such a barely acceptable reply.

Otherwise, even if they don’t allow the “store manager” to use it, can they really stop it?
The power of the "store manager" is too terrifying. Unless they have the power to check and balance the "store manager", it is impossible for them to oppose what the "store manager" does.

Even when the "store manager" wants to do something, you still have to find reasonable grounds for him to prevent him from being too suspicious or even having wild thoughts.

For the first time, Cao Yanhua felt that his job as deputy minister was quite meaningless.

It is clearly a leadership position, when did it become a service position?

No matter how depressed he is, he still has to do what he has to do, and he still has to serve the "store manager" well, otherwise if the "store manager" goes berserk, the consequence will be something he cannot bear.

The worst possible scenario is a supernatural event that breaks out across the country.

Everything that has happened in recent times has proved that although the coordinates of the Peace Hotel in reality have been located in Zhongzhou City by the Ghost Lake, the white fog ghost domain of the "store manager" can appear at will in major cities across the country.

The virtual game based on real cities, today in Dachang City, tomorrow in Dahai City, and the day after tomorrow in Zhongzhou City, is the best proof.

This also shows that as long as the "store manager" is willing, he can cause ghost domains to erupt in major cities across the country at the same time, just like when he first recruited a cook, and at the same time shroud three or four different cities from all over the world in white fog ghost domains.

Although this is just a speculation, it is very likely.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan was indeed "served" well and hung up the phone happily. Liu Qingqing, who was standing beside him, immediately came up to him and said, "Brother Yuan, what happened?"

This is not a room on the third floor, but the lobby on the first floor, so Lin Yuan would not feel embarrassed.

No matter how passionate Liu Qingqing's attack was, it was impossible for her to express her feelings in front of so many people. Women are more reserved.

"It's good news. As long as the banknotes printed by this ancient printing machine are not widely circulated, the headquarters will not target them. When the time comes, we will build a small bank outside... No, it can't be called a bank, just call it... a money house. Like the one on Da He's hometown street, when customers come to spend money in the future, they will go to the money house to exchange the animals for the special currency of our store. Although there is an extra process, it will be more convenient. There will no longer be a scene where one person drives more than a dozen animals to the store to eat. Xiaoxi, Xiaoan... Hey, where's Xiaoxi?"

Lin Yuan also wanted to tell the good news to the king twins who were closest to this matter, but how come one of them was missing?

He Yuelian reminded: "Didn't we just ask Xiaoxi to go to the fish pond to retrieve the money printing machine? She drowned and hasn't woken up yet."

Without the word from the "store manager", it would not be so easy for one of the king's twins who was suppressed by the Ghost Lake to wake up.

Lin Yuan: "...What are you waiting for? Save them now!!!"
