I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 382 Zhang Bohua logs into the game

"Boss Lin!"

Zhou Deng's eyes widened. He didn't expect to see the "store manager" here.

Li Leping went to the hotel specifically to inquire about the whereabouts of the "store manager". He was just a bystander in secret, but he didn't expect that before Li Leping had any results, he met the "store manager".

"Boss Lin, young man, stop playing tricks. Just because we don't take action against you now doesn't mean we can let you tease us." Old Liu's face turned cold.

He had no good feelings towards this guy who had once stolen something from his store.

As for whether there is anyone behind him?

joke.

Although they did not look behind them, with the power they controlled, wouldn't it be a simple task to confirm whether there was anyone behind them?

Including the manager of the Peace Hotel, he had seen him before.

If it really appears, it will definitely not escape his perception.

How can a thief have any credibility?

“I feel like I’m being ignored.”

Hearing this voice, Lao Liu's face froze, and he quickly turned around with the other two people. Looking at the young man standing less than two meters in front of him, a drop of sweat dripped from his forehead.

Lin Yuan was also looking at them.

"My previous guess was correct. I am the most realistic anchor point. I can make these virtual NPCs more realistic and less prone to problems. I still have to join this game. Not only for them, but more importantly for the players of this game, as well as Boss Liu and the faceless man. I need my existence to appear in their memories."

After a brief thought, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "The last time I came here was a few months ago. There were some unexpected events at the market at that time. I was thinking of coming here in a while to experience the market in Taiping Town. Now it seems that it hasn't recovered yet?"

Realizing that Lin Yuan had no hostility, Old Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Lin Yuan looks very young, he is a teacher to those who are capable and strong.

Lin Yuan was able to appear so quietly and so close behind them that if Zhou Deng hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't even have noticed.

This alone proves that Lin Yuan is qualified to compete with them.

In this case, they naturally put Lin Yuan on an equal footing. "What headquarters did this group of young people come from? We have made some efforts during this period, but the impact of the big market a few months ago was too bad. It is difficult to restore the reputation. Before we completely deal with them and dig out the so-called headquarters, it is estimated that it will be difficult to restore the former glory."

At this point, he asked with some anticipation: "Boss Lin has traveled extensively and has his own restaurant. I wonder if you have heard of this headquarters?"

"I've heard about it since a few months ago, but I haven't seen any other members of the headquarters except near Taiping Town." Lin Yuan replied.

This is also an answer that fits his personality.

Otherwise, if he really revealed the information from the headquarters, his identity would definitely be defined as "a GM who comes to the game to find a sense of existence" rather than the history that was lost forty years ago.

This is something Lin Yuan doesn't want to see.

Old Liu sighed, then turned back to look at Zhou Deng, "Boss Lin knows this kid?"

"We met a few months ago. You should have been there then." Lin Yuan said.

Old Liu remembered that it was the first time he met Lin Yuan and the first time he knew the name of Peace Hotel. It was also at that time that Zhou Deng and Lin Yuan met.

Somewhat disappointed, some glad.

If Lin Yuan really has any relationship with this thief, then he will now have to face a new and powerful enemy, which is inconsistent with the philosophy of Taiping Town.

"This thief stole my things and he also has the secrets of the headquarters, so I will take him away first." said Lao Liu.

Lin Yuan nodded, "Okay, you guys go do your thing, I'll go around and look around."

The old street of Taiping Town is very deserted nowadays. There are almost no people around and there is nothing good to see. However, no one stopped Lin Yuan from going shopping.

After confirming that Lin Yuan had no intention of coming back to rescue Zhou Deng, Old Liu breathed a sigh of relief. "This is really scary. This is definitely not a young man. Maybe it's some old monster."

An old man with terrible scars on his face said in a heavy voice: "It is indeed a terrifying existence. I can't even sense the spiritual aura from him. He has already returned to nature. I don't know which road he is taking and whether he has the possibility of reaching the end."

Another old man wearing a mask and with a hunched back gestured in the air a few times with his hands.

Zhou Deng looked confused, but Lao Liu and the old man with the scarred face understood. "If you are worried, go back and take a look. We are here."

The masked old man nodded and quickly chased in the direction Lin Yuan left, which was also the direction of his shop.

Old Liu then turned around and smiled kindly at Zhou Deng, "Little brother, please come to my shop and have a seat. Don't worry, it's free."

You won’t let me go without paying me, right?

How could Zhou Deng not understand what Old Liu meant, but he had no choice but to nod obediently, "Thank you, Boss Liu. But Boss Liu, aren't you afraid that something will be lost in the store again?"

Old Liu narrowed his eyes and said softly, "No."

Zhou Deng: "..."

The layout of Ghost Street is very simple, it is just a straight street with most of the shops concentrated together. People do business and live here.

There are no less than fifty or sixty shops on both sides of the street.

With so many shops being able to support it, one can imagine how lively the Taiping Town Market is on ordinary days. It is also understandable why the owners of these shops would be so uneasy and anxious because no one comes to the market, and even go so far as to leave Ghost Street and go around to inquire about the news from the headquarters in order to restore the reputation of Ghost Street.

If the ghost street becomes deserted, they will have to find a new place to settle down, which will be even more costly.

after all……

These shops are home to terrifying supernatural powers, so it is definitely not easy to relocate them, of course, except for some old guys with terrifying strength.

such as……

Lin Yuan stopped and looked at the shop next to him. It was a very old shop, and there were two signs hanging on the door of the shop.

"There are medicines for human diseases, but what about ghost diseases?"

Chinese medicine shop?
The door of the shop was ajar, and it was dark inside. The light from the outside seemed unable to penetrate, but this was also the norm for the shops on this street.

The storage of supernatural powers makes the store seem like an independent supernatural space.

When the masked old man came over, Lin Yuan had already walked into the pharmacy. The masked old man stopped for a long time, and seeing that Lin Yuan still hadn't come out, he seemed to have lost his patience and continued to walk to the other end of the street.

Inside the Chinese medicine shop, there is a faint scent of sandalwood, but also a stench of rotting corpses.

There was only an old man in the store. His eyelids were drooping and his eye sockets were sunken. There were no eyeballs in them. There were just two big empty holes.

When Lin Yuan came in, he raised his head.

Although he was blind, he turned to Lin Yuan's position accurately and asked, "Are you here to buy medicine?"

Lin Yuan did not answer, but just looked the old man up and down. The old man did not respond, but just asked again, "Are you here to buy medicine?"

The reaction was a little stiff, as if it was some kind of programmed program.

"In the memories of He Liansheng, Boss Liu, and the faceless man, the owner of the Chinese medicine shop was such an introverted, dull, and unsociable person? He was one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, and the one who lived the longest in his lifetime, yet he was so low-key. But it is understandable that what you want to see most is the hope of ending the supernatural era, not showing off your own military power."

Lin Yuan did not hide his tone.

But even though he said this, the old man in the Chinese medicine shop still didn't react much. He just asked stupidly, "Are you here to buy medicine?"

"Let's add another anchor point. A consciousness anchor point at the level of the Seven Elders, maybe it will help me with my idea of ​​​​fixing the bug."

Thick white mist poured out from Lin Yuan's eyes, instantly submerging the entire Chinese medicine shop, but the terrifying supernatural power in the shop did not react at all.

This is normal.

The entire Ghost Street, even the entire Taiping Town, the entire world, was created by Lin Yuan in the world of consciousness through his own supernatural powers.

The supernatural powers stored in these shops came from Lin Yuan itself. They were only distributed and set according to the memories of Boss Liu, He Liansheng and the Faceless Man. How could they possibly go against their own source?

The white fog in the Chinese medicine shop did not leave the shop at all, and even with the door open, it did not spread to the street.

In an unknown mysterious place, in the thick white fog, a hotel with the sign of "Peace Hotel" is looming.

On the second floor of the hotel, room 203.

This is the guest room of the Peace Hotel and also Zhang Bohua’s new temporary residence.

He has been to too many places and stayed in too many places in his life, including the Taiping Town Fair, the busiest place in the supernatural circle forty years ago, and the old town area of ​​Zhongjiang City in recent years.

Wherever he went, he was looking for the hope that could end the supernatural era.

But unfortunately, before he saw that hope, he was introduced by Meng Xiaodong to the Peace Hotel and became one of the permanent residents of the Peace Hotel.

Even though he was one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, he had never dismembered his own spiritual power. However, facing the suppression of the Peace Hotel and the erosion of the White Fog Ghost Domain, he had no ability to resist at all.

But he didn't have much aversion to this.

"I don't have much time left. I still haven't seen clearly what kind of person the store manager is. But here, I can see more young people, especially the top ghost riders of this era. They seem to gather here for various reasons. If I can't see hope for the future here, then maybe I can only choose the store manager. But... He doesn't seem to need my power."

The entire room 203 was filled with white fog.

However, unlike Meng Xiaodong in Room 201, Zhang Bohua did not fall asleep.

The room was filled with the scent of sandalwood and medicine, but it could not cover up the extremely strong stench of corpse. However, this stench was lighter than when I first arrived at the Peace Hotel.

In order to live longer, Zhang Bohua did not dismember his own soul just because his death was approaching.

It was also for this reason that he was able to maintain a degree of rationality and clarity in the Peace Hotel at night, without the instinctive spiritual erosion of the manager's will.

"The spirit of the Peace Hotel can maintain the state of the body, and can even continuously reverse the state of the body, pulling people back from the brink of death. It's like it's always open, but this state is very subtle, and it may be because the manager didn't use it with all his strength."

"The white fog ghost domain erodes consciousness, and the effect is also relatively weak. As long as you don't stay in the store at night, the impact will be minimal. This should also be the reason why the store manager did not take the initiative to use this supernatural power."

"It's really hard to imagine how two such terrifying supernatural powers can be controlled. Manager, this person definitely doesn't exist in this era. Could it be from the last era, or our era, or even an earlier era?"

If not for this, Zhang Bohua really couldn't imagine how such a terrifying existence could exist.

In his understanding, the power and terror displayed by the "store manager" was even more terrifying than the number one person of their time - Zhang Dong, and it was even more difficult to understand.

"I don't have any information about the Peace Hotel and its manager in my memory. This is very strange. To grow to this level, whether it is a ghost rider or a fierce ghost, they should have left traces."

During this time Zhang Bohua was at the Peace Hotel, it wasn't as if he was doing nothing.

He was looking for a glimmer of hope among the ghost riders who entered the Peace Hotel, and at the same time he was looking for an opportunity to find out the manager's background.

At least we need to find out whether the store manager is a human or a ghost.

As for gods and such, as an old man who lived through the Republic of China era, he simply does not believe in the existence of gods. Otherwise, how could he allow evil spirits to wreak havoc in the world?
Compared to this era.

The ghost riders during the Republic of China period were more terrifying and powerful, but at the same time, the evil spirits during the Republic of China period were also more terrifying, making people feel more desperate and fearful.

Not only do evil spirits with human consciousness and intelligence exist, but they are not just one or two scattered ones.

Therefore, before seeing the store manager in person, he couldn't make an accurate judgment, and couldn't make... the final decision.

"It looks like this evening will also pass uneventfully. Luckily my lifespan here has been reversed, otherwise I wouldn't be able to waste time like this."

Zhang Bohua sat quietly beside the bed with a medicine basket at his feet.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhang Bohua was ready to talk to the "store manager" after dawn. Perhaps he could go to the first floor to see patients and earn some money from medical fees.

But this seems like an attempt to steal business.

If they really charge money, you can spend three dollars to go to the "store manager" and ask him to help you "tame the beast", which can directly kill the evil spirit.

However, his Chinese medicine can only suppress the revival of evil spirits for a period of time. When the effect of the Chinese medicine disappears, the revival of evil spirits will erupt more violently, unless a new balance is found during this period to solve the problem of the revival of evil spirits.

Comparing the two, at the same price, everyone will choose the former.

but……

What if it is a free clinic?

Diagnosis is one thing, but when it comes to giving medicine, we choose to give it to ghost riders who are pleasing to the eye and have potential. This way, there will be no suspicion of stealing business, and there is no need to worry about the Chinese medicine being consumed too quickly.

"It just so happens that Director Meng also has a partnership with the store manager. I'm not too independent and can get closer to the store manager. I've been in the store for a long time but I've never met the real store manager. If I can become more valuable to the store, or even join directly, will there be a chance?"

While Zhang Bohua was thinking, the white fog around him, which was already so thick that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, seemed to become even denser, almost turning into liquid.

Zhang Bohua discovered this change because he felt a sense of restraint, not just a sense of restraint, but also a feeling of drowsiness.

This feeling of sleepiness came so suddenly and so strongly.

Even Zhang Bohua couldn't resist it. This was incredible, because ghost riders like them who had reached the top of an era had no weaknesses.

Whether it is reality or consciousness, there is a terrifying supernatural power.

If he really had obvious shortcomings, he would have died in that terrifying era long ago, and it would have been impossible for him to grow to the level of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.

But now, his consciousness has been impacted like never before.

But this feeling came so suddenly that apart from the feeling of sleepiness, he did not even notice any supernatural confrontation with his consciousness. This was incredible.

"It seems that my guess is correct. The supernatural power actively used by the store manager is much stronger than the instinctive effect of this supernatural power. If he is really a ghost rider and can solve the balance problem between the Peace Hotel and the White Mist Ghost Realm, he may really be able to end the supernatural era. This method may be somewhat similar to Zhang Xianguang's Peach Blossom Spring."

Zhang Bohua murmured softly, his head slowly drooping.

If it weren't for his steady breathing, people would probably think he was dead, but now his consciousness was just being pulled by supernatural forces and he entered an unknown world of consciousness.

It is also a virtual game world created by Lin Yuan.

Everything that happened in this room also fell into Lin Yuan's eyes. "The top ghost masters in the Republic of China did have different perspectives. Just like Meng Xiaodong, and Luo Qian who would rather die than enter the Peace Hotel, they would not regard me as a so-called god, but since they could not confirm my identity, they could not place their hopes on me. Because if they make the wrong choice, the consequences will be disastrous. However, what I need is not their inheritance, but their people."

When he regained consciousness, Zhang Bohua felt something unusual.

"This is... Taiping Town, Old Street?"

Zhang Bohua has been living in the store. Although he seldom goes out, he always pays attention to what happens in the store. Naturally, he also knows about the e-sports room and virtual games.

It was just hearsay, but it didn't prevent him from understanding.

So he reacted quickly, especially when he felt this body from forty years ago. Even if Zhang Bohua was stupid, he knew what happened.

"This was the era forty years ago, when I was still running a Chinese medicine shop on the old street of Taiping Town. There were too many amazing young people here, but unfortunately, they didn't have the opportunity to lead an era. It's a pity that a prosperous ghost street ended because of an accident that shouldn't have happened. But..."

Zhang Bohua raised his head slightly. There was no image in his sunken eye sockets, but he "saw" Lin Yuan.

The entire Chinese medicine shop was a space dominated by Zhang Bohua. Lin Yuan just stood there and naturally could not escape his perception.

and so……

"Did I meet the store manager in Taiping Town forty years ago? Is this really my memory? Has even my memory been tampered with?"

Zhang Bohua of this era felt a rare vitality and energy, but his heart was constantly falling.

"Zhang Bohua's strength is indeed terrifying. Just pulling him in as an NPC will make this world much more stable. There is no need to worry about being disconnected for some inexplicable reasons and affecting the progress of the game. Moreover, if you can really plant your existence in Zhang Bohua's memory, it may be more effective. If it works on Zhang Bohua, then Meng Xiaodong, Li Qingzhi, Luo Qian, you all just be my NPCs!"

After the two most terrifying people in this memory world were silent for a while, someone finally broke the silence.

"Are you here to buy medicine?"

The same words, but now with more vitality.

Lin Yuan did not answer immediately, but looked around the Chinese medicine shop.

The previous Chinese medicine shop was rather simple, and there were even mosaics in many places. That was because Boss Liu, the faceless man, and He Liansheng had too vague memories of this medicine shop.

But things are different now.

When Zhang Bohua's consciousness was pulled in, the style of the Chinese medicine shop suddenly became refined, as if he had become a VIP member. The change was so huge.

This is decent!
Lin Yuan was very satisfied with this change. "Boss, what do those two sentences at the door of your store mean?"

There are medicines for human diseases, but what about ghost diseases?
Zhang Bohua pondered and said, "It's just two sentences I wrote casually. If the customer is not satisfied, I can change it."

Did you really just write it casually?
Lin Yuan was a little surprised. He thought that what the seven elders of the Republic of China wrote would have profound educational significance, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.

"The boss is very humorous. But forget about buying medicine. I am in good condition now and don't need to take medicine. I also need to go to other places to have a look, so I won't stay any longer."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Until Lin Yuan left the pharmacy, Zhang Bohua did not try to keep him, nor did he offer to help guide him. But after Lin Yuan left, he stood up and walked towards the backyard.

"Whether it is returning to the past or a fake world, we will soon get the answer. Although I am reluctant to believe it, I hope the answer will be the former."

Despite being blind, Zhang Bohua acted like a normal person, avoiding the various items displayed in the store and going to the backyard.

After a while, hearty laughter was heard from the Chinese medicine shop.
