Chapter 398: New Identity of the Ghost Shepherd: Strategic Partner of Peace Hotel

"Back off."

This was the first line of words. After the characters took shape, they quickly turned into sticky blood and flowed into the body of the evil ghost that was constantly pouring out.

The simpler the command, the less supernatural power is required.

He guided the evil spirits to retreat continuously, just like a sheepdog grazing, preventing the sheep from leaving the pen.

Herding such a large number of evil spirits was a huge burden for Chen Qiaoyang. It was visibly that his condition had deteriorated a lot, and he looked more and more like a revived evil spirit.

But his supernatural powers are indeed very effective.

The evil ghosts that had originally rushed out of the ghost cage returned again. There were still evil ghosts inside that wanted to come out, and they confronted and clashed with the evil ghosts that had retreated.

Fortunately, this confrontation and conflict happened at the door of the ghost cage.

Zhang Xian immediately closed the ghost cage and locked it with a copper lock again, then looked at Chen Qiaoyang, "Although the horror of these ghosts is not particularly high, and they can be imprisoned a second time if they can be imprisoned once, it is still a waste of time. Especially now, every minute and every second is important, so your method is more appropriate. But aren't the remaining ghosts a bit too many? Don't you only need nine ghosts?"

At this time, there was a group of evil ghosts outside the ghost cage. They were also affected by Chen Qiaoyang's blood and could not move.

Because the instructions they received were:

"To the Peace Hotel."

His supernatural power is hidden in his blood. Anyone affected by his blood will act according to the instructions contained in the blood within a short period of time.

Just like the group of evil spirits before.

But after receiving the order, this group of evil spirits stopped where they were. This only means one thing, that is, they were unable to complete the order given by Chen Qiaoyang.

They couldn't find the way to the Peace Hotel.

Chen Qiaoyang glanced at Zhang Xianguang with twinkling eyes, and Zhang Xianguang happened to look over at him. Their eyes intertwined, and there seemed to be inexplicable emotions intertwined.

Zhang Xian was slightly annoyed, "Chen Qiaoyang."

"Zhang Xianguang has no objection, so what do you need to say?" Chen Qiaoyang replied rudely, which made Zhang Xian choke.

But he had no way to refute it.

Although he is not Zhang Xianguang's direct descendant, Zhang Xianguang is indeed his elder. The elderly who have lived through that era attach great importance to the relationship between the seniors and juniors.

"I'll go to the Peace Hotel to settle the bill first, and then find out some information. I'll leave this to you guys." Chen Qiaoyang said as he took out the business card of "store manager".

The supernatural surged, white mist emerged, and the spacious avenue invaded in the white mist.

The moment Chen Qiaoyang walked into the white fog, the thirteen ghosts who had been silent suddenly moved, followed Chen Qiaoyang, and set out on the road to the Peace Hotel together.

When all the evil spirits entered, the white mist swept away the road and disappeared.

Everyone present had been to the Peace Hotel, including Zhang Ying, Song Xinhai and others. They also had experience at the Peace Hotel and had a certain understanding of it, so they were not surprised.

"Are we going to start setting up?" Nie Yingping asked.

"Almost done." Zhang Xianguang looked at Zhang Xian, "How are the arrangements for the people in the town going?"

Zhang Xian was still sulking. He looked very old, but seemed particularly childish. "They have all been sent out. They are using the spiritual power of tourism. Even if something unexpected happens here, there will be descendants outside to arrange their future lives and ensure that they can live a normal life."

Many people have left Shuangqiao Town in recent years, but they are all still under some kind of control.

Zhang Xian is the official patriarch of the Zhang family in Shuangqiao Town of this generation. In the past, he would organize an ancestor worship ceremony with hundreds or even thousands of people every year.

This shows the prosperity of the Zhang family.

Shuangqiao Town is the ancestral home of the Zhang family. It is usually inhabited by some elderly people who are reluctant to leave and a few young people who have taken root in the land.

In order to ensure the development of the Zhang family, Zhang Xian, after obtaining Zhang Xianguang's consent, did not reveal the affairs of the supernatural circle to these people. He just protected them in secret, and that was all.

This time Zhang Xianguang is going to hold a supernatural banquet here, so naturally he can't let these ordinary people get involved.

Even if they fail in the end, at least the Zhang family as ordinary people can be passed on, and they have also left behind some foundation and resources. If another proud child emerges from the Zhang family in the future, there will be a chance for revival.

Zhang Xianguang nodded, "Then let's start preparing. I still need to confirm some things. I'm sorry to bother you guys for a while."

"No problem. We are also looking forward to the future you described."

"After today, we will finally meet in a new era, an era without supernatural beings!"

"Yes, that is an era that people long for, and we will eventually become the heroes of the era. Even if we are destined to be forgotten in the future, it will be worth it for me to wait until I come to this world!"

Looking at the excited expressions of the crowd, the usually indifferent Zhang Xianguang's mouth corners slightly curled up.

There was no need to say anything more to cheer up the mood. Zhang Xianguang took out a piece of old letter paper and lit it. Soon a winding path appeared.

Zhang Xianguang walked straight up and his figure disappeared along the trail, which was quite similar to the previous time when Chen Qiaoyang took the evil spirit to the Peace Hotel.

But this is the way to the Ghost Post Office.

If one wants to completely control ghost paintings as an immortal, then the Ghost Post Office is indispensable.

At the same time, Chen Qiaoyang had walked out of the white fog and arrived at the bus stop of Peace Hotel. To his surprise, Guo Fan, who was supposed to be guarding here, was nowhere to be seen. Only a ghost taxi was parked here empty.

Aren’t you afraid that it might be stolen?

Chen Qiaoyang complained in his heart, but he also knew that this was impossible. If someone could steal a supernatural item from the Peace Hotel under the nose of the manager, that would be truly terrifying.

At least as far as he knew, no one had ever been able to reach this level.

While he was thinking, the thirteen ghosts behind him had already passed him and walked onto the bluestone path. This showed that his "herding" was still taking effect.

of course.

These thirteen ghosts have turned into animals of different types: three dogs, two wolves, four rabbits, a chicken, and three ducks.

"The more terrifying the evil spirit is, the more ferocious the animal it transforms into. The ghosts Zhang Xian caught are indeed not very terrifying and can only be used as cannon fodder."

Although he complained, Chen Qiaoyang still remained quite vigilant.

A ghost is just a ghost.

Immortality rules!
Just with these two characteristics, even the least terrifying ghost can become a great enemy of mankind. Chen Qiaoyang does not want to die inexplicably because of a momentary negligence.

Under his seriousness, the four wolves around him also became alert.

After these thirteen evil spirits of various types stepped onto the bluestone path, they were no longer as obedient as before. Instead, they became agitated and began to attack each other, and some even ran outside.

The two wolves were the most ferocious and bit the rabbits, chickens and ducks next to them.

If they were normal animals, the rabbits, chickens and ducks would have no choice but to run away and would not be able to fight against the wolves. But here, they actually fought back and bit the wolves.

Instead, the three dogs rushed towards the bluestone path, and the first to be hit was Chen Qiaoyang who was blocking the intersection.

Chen Qiaoyang's expression remained unchanged. He did not move at all, nor did he use any supernatural power.

because……

No need.

“Welcome~”

A hoarse and strange voice sounded, which did not sound like that of a human at all. Under this strange voice, except for the two wolves, the rest of the animals froze in place. After a moment, they walked deep into the bluestone path, which was the road to the Peace Hotel.

Although the two wolves did not move, they were struggling hard on the spot, as if they were in great pain.

But in Chen Qiaoyang's ears, the sound was not supernatural at all except that it was a little unpleasant, because he was going to the Peace Hotel.

Here, those who were unwilling to go to the Peace Hotel were all influenced by the spirits and forced to go there.

Here, those who are willing to go to the Peace Hotel will only hear the sound of welcome, without any supernatural power effect.

“Welcome~”

With another sound, the starving ghost Lao Hua walked out from the depths of the bluestone path. His tall body, as big as a calf, was full of oppression.

“Welcome~”

After three calls, the two wolves lost the ability to resist and walked past Laohua inside.

Lao Hua did not leave, but stared at Chen Qiaoyang quietly with his empty dog ​​eyes, which made Chen Qiaoyang feel cold in his heart, but he still stepped onto the bluestone path.

He didn't want to be attacked by starving ghosts.

But when he set foot on this road, everything in front of him changed. Originally, he could only see a bluestone path shrouded in white mist, but suddenly, a building appeared.

Peace Hotel commemorative coin exchange office!

Chen Qiaoyang couldn't help but take a look at the wolf that had turned pure white and was standing in front of him, then he walked forward.

The animals transformed from evil spirits that he brought with him before did not actually go to the Peace Hotel in the deepest part, but entered the house at the exchange office.

Chen Qiaoyang hurriedly followed him in.

Inside the house, Liu Qingqing was looking at the thirteen animals with a smile, "It's true that when you are at home, happiness comes from heaven. I didn't expect so many ghosts to come to my door today. I'll talk to Brother Yuan later. Maybe he will think that I have good fortune and am a lucky star, and fall in love with me."

She knew Lin Yuan's temper very well.

Compared with appearance, figure, temperament and other conditions, wealth, or the ability to make the Peace Hotel develop better, is what he likes most.

This also includes the choice of a significant other. Otherwise, when Liu Qingqing confirmed that He Yuelian also had feelings for Lin Yuan, she could have simply given up, because no one could compare to He Yuelian in terms of looks.

That face was so unfair. It was not the face that should appear in reality at all. It was as if it was deliberately shaped like that.

But when she saw Chen Qiaoyang coming in, her face darkened instantly, and she said vigilantly: "The store is closed today, you can leave."

Chen Qiaoyang was immediately furious when he was treated like this by a woman, a woman so young that she could be his granddaughter.

But he also knew Liu Qingqing, who was a clerk who was close to the "store manager".

If he really had a conflict with Liu Qingqing, the "store manager" would probably not let him go. However, he was also very clear that in the Peace Hotel, even people like Liu Qingqing had to follow the rules of the Peace Hotel and the "store manager".

So he said directly: "I brought thirteen ghosts, please exchange them for commemorative coins."

Liu Qingqing: "..."

When Chen Qiaoyang came in, she guessed the result, and her original excitement and joy disappeared in an instant.

But she couldn't break the rules, so she could only exchange commemorative coins for Chen Qiaoyang with an expressionless face. One ghost cost three yuan, and thirteen ghosts cost thirty-nine yuan.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan and Liu San had traded a lot of "zongzi leaves" in advance, and they also prepared a reserve of 99 yuan at the commemorative coin exchange office, otherwise it might not be enough to exchange today.

After getting the new version of ghost money, Chen Qiaoyang looked at it several times.

In his time, there was a relatively large amount of ghost money. It was not a scarce thing, but it could only be obtained by those with a certain level of strength.

As one of the prides of the era, he naturally has no shortage of it.

Now the ghost money has obviously been eliminated, not only because of production reasons, but also because a new version of the ghost money with stronger effects has appeared - the Peace Hotel commemorative coin.

For ghost herders, ghosts are not really a rare thing.

He had no choice when he was imprisoned in the Wang family's old house before, but now that he is out and has encountered an era of revival of the supernatural, there is naturally nothing to say.

Since it wasn't a scarce item, Chen Qiaoyang didn't look at it any more. He would have plenty of time to do so later. "What are you busy with, manager? I'm here to fulfill the promise we made last night."

Liu Qingqing was in a bad mood and was too lazy to answer Chen Qiaoyang's questions.

This was also within the rules, and Chen Qiaoyang had no choice but to leave the exchange office. He could find out for himself.

Holding a huge sum of thirty-nine yuan in his hand and surrounded by four wolves, Chen Qiaoyang walked towards the Peace Hotel.

As soon as I passed the Ghost Lake and Fish Pond, I could already hear some noisy noises coming from inside. It sounded very lively, so I quickened my pace.

The ghost at the door and the ghost knocking on the door are both there.

The starving ghost was also there. It should be Chen Qiaoyang who came back from exchanging commemorative coins. The door of the Peace Hotel was open and there were people gathering inside.

His arrival was also seen by Guo Fan, who was closest to the door, and he quickly called out, "Boss, a guest is coming."

"Customers? Didn't I tell Xiao Liu to tell the customers that we're closed today?" Lin Yuan walked out with some confusion. He realized it was Chen Qiaoyang, but when he saw that there were only the four wolves around Chen Qiaoyang, his face darkened again. "Old Chen, is this how you got here?"

Chen Qiaoyang felt the pressure of the white fog around him increase greatly, and he felt almost suffocated. He quickly took out twenty-seven commemorative coins from his arms and said, "Boss Lin, you are joking. I have brought them here as promised last night. I exchanged them for commemorative coins at the exchange office and sent them here at the right time."

Lin Yuan's face brightened again, and his hands moved quickly, "Old Chen, you are still trustworthy. You sent the money so early in the morning. But the store is closed today, otherwise I would have treated you to breakfast anyway."

"Boss Lin, you are too polite. But if we don't open for business, won't we lose a lot of profits?" Chen Qiaoyang also started chatting.

As an outlier, Chen Qiaoyang's ordinary human emotions also disappeared for the most part under the erosion of the supernatural.

Only in the Peace Hotel, in front of the "store manager", could he act like a normal person, with normal emotions. This feeling was very strange to him, yet he liked it very much.

As long as there was no danger, he would naturally be happy to stay a little longer.

and……

It will take some time for Zhang Xianguang to finish the arrangements, so he can help delay it here to prevent the "store manager" from going there too early and seeing some inappropriate scenes.

"There's nothing we can do. We are too short-staffed. We have to go out and contract banquets. We can't take care of the business in the store. We have to close the store for the time being."

Lin Yuan sighed.

The store’s sales have actually increased, with daily revenue of around 100 yuan in commemorative coins, which is equivalent to more than 30 ghosts.

This time, the estimated revenue from the banquet for Zhang Xianguang was not much more than this.

However, this business is a very good direction. Maybe in the future we can also contract wedding banquets, etc., which are the big ones. Now we are just accumulating experience.

This is to prevent any mistakes from happening when hosting large banquets in the future, which would cause the Peace Hotel to lose its competitiveness.

This time, the chef Tong Qian will be the head chef. Her cooking skills have greatly improved during this period, which Lin Yuan can clearly feel.

Moreover, every customer who has eaten in the restaurant will give very positive comments.

There is also the handyman Fang Shiming.

Originally, Lin Yuan didn't plan to take him along. After all, the other party was a domineering president after all. It would be fine for him to do odd jobs in the store. Anyway, no one would see him, and it wouldn't damage the domineering president's image.

But Xiao Fang insisted on coming along, saying that he wanted to see the world.

How could Lin Yuan possibly believe such a ridiculous reason?

However, after seeing Lao Fan, he suddenly had an epiphany.

That’s right, this time he also wanted to take the security guard, the ghost catcher, Lao Fan with him. It was only after making this decision that he asked Fang Shiming for his opinion.

Since it was for love, he naturally had no reason to stop it.

Lobby manager He Yuelian and her two younger sisters Xiao An and Xiao Xi will also go along. The former is there because the one hosting the banquet is her teacher, while the latter two need to go there to help out.

You can't ask Tong Qian to cook, serve food and do the wait, right?

No matter how much you exploit the labor force, you should not do this, as it will easily lead to being struck by lightning.

Liu Qingqing stayed in the store with the watchdog, the starving ghost, Lao Hua, to watch over the store to prevent anyone from breaking in and stealing things, which would be really fun.

You went out to host a banquet, but your house got robbed?

Lin Yuan couldn't afford to lose face with this person.

Now everyone is busy cleaning up kitchen utensils, tableware and food. Lin Yuan is also busy playing on the computer... well, allocating resources.

After receiving the twenty-seven yuan from Chen Qiaoyang, Lin Yuan was in a very good mood because it was a good start.

It just so happened that He Yuelian, Tong Qian and the others needed some time to pack up, so Lin Yuan was ready to chat with Chen Qiaoyang, "Old Chen, what kind of job are you doing now?"

Work?

Chen Qiaoyang was obviously stunned for a moment. It was obvious that this word was very unfamiliar to him. However, he was very smart and realized that this was a great opportunity. So he said very carefully: "I just got out and don't have a job yet."

Just came out?

Thinking of Lu Zhiwen and Wang Chaling's comments on Chen Qiaoyang, he immediately guessed Chen Qiaoyang's identity - a guy who relied on biotechnology surgery to master the technology of taming animals and did some money-making work in the criminal law.

Obviously, this is a dangerous guy.

But Lin Yuan didn't care.

At least in his opinion, the four wolves that Chen Qiaoyang kept as pets were just so-so in strength. The size of a single one was not even half the size of the starving ghost Lao Hua and the knocking ghost Lao Hei. What kind of fighting power could they have?
Moreover.

He has the "golden finger". Even if Lao Fan, Lao Hua, Lao Hei and Lao Li in the store are all unable to beat the other party, he is confident that he can suppress Chen Qiaoyang.

In this case, once the danger of Chenqiao sheep is removed, its value will continue to increase.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan said, "Since you don't have a job, how about we try to cooperate temporarily? I have a breeding farm in ZS City, and it's still short of a lot of animals. How about you catch some animals and sell them to me? Although I can't give you too much discount, it's more stable."

The corner of Chen Qiaoyang's mouth twitched.

If it was someone else eating like that, he would definitely tear the other person's mouth to pieces. But the one who invited him to cooperate was the "store manager", so instead of feeling depressed or disgusted, he was very excited and agreed immediately, "Okay!"

Forehead!
Lin Yuan was a little surprised. He thought Chen Qiaoyang would bargain. After all, people with special abilities are always a little arrogant. He didn't expect that he would surrender after just one sentence.

That's a good thing, though.

Lin Yuan originally had a bottom line, which was to give a 3% discount on top of the current exchange rate (one ghost = yuan commemorative coin).

Now it is saved.

Sure enough, today was a good start early in the morning, with good things happening one after another.

"So am I considered an employee of the Peace Hotel now?" Chen Qiaoyang asked expectantly.

Lin Yuan blinked and said jokingly, "We are partners. How can we treat partners as employees? Don't worry, Lao Chen. I won't treat you unfairly."

"I don't want to be your partner, I want to be your employee!" Chen Qiaoyang was extremely mad, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only say depressedly, "Then as a partner, can Boss Lin help me?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the four wolves following Chen Qiaoyang, then stretched out his hand and pointed at a sign behind the cashier counter, saying, "Taming animals, three yuan each."

Chen Qiaoyang: “…”

He finally understood that the "store manager" was a money-grubber. Even though he had prepared the money in advance and was mentally prepared, he still felt uncomfortable.

Obviously, we are already partners...

The situation was stronger than the person, so Chen Qiaoyang could only honestly give out twelve commemorative coins as the price for suppressing the four evil spirits to death.
