I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 413: Branch? Adventurer Tavern?
In Lin Yuan's opinion, taxis are faster than buses, so he returned to the Peace Hotel first.

Today's harvest was good. Although there was a small episode like He Yuelian, it did not hinder Lin Yuan's joyful mood. "Xiao Guo, you don't have to go to work today. Go back and have a rest."

It's a little after four in the afternoon, so by that calculation, I've also finished an early shift.

Guo Fan smiled and said, "Thank you, boss."

Although he agreed, he did not really leave. Instead, he planned to stay here until the normal end of get off work time.

reason?

Of course, I have to prove to the "store manager" that I am a natural born worker and the most suitable person for the Peace Hotel!

This kind of thing is not suitable to be said directly, otherwise it will easily be misunderstood and thought to be a deliberate performance or empty talk. The best thing is to actually do it and then be discovered by the "store manager".

These are all the work experiences Guo Fan accumulated before he became a ghost rider.

He is a professional when it comes to "rolling".

Lin Yuan naturally didn't know about Guo Fan's King of Roll attributes. When he walked onto the bluestone path and passed by the commemorative coin exchange office, Lin Yuan suddenly stopped.

"no one?"

Lin Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't inform Liu Qingqing that he wouldn't be working today. It was just that the store was closed, but the commemorative coin exchange office still had to keep someone there.

For this reason, he specially kept Liu Qingqing in the store... Well, actually he was a little scared by Liu Qingqing's enthusiasm.

But Liu Qingqing also left only one robot in the store. Is she throwing a tantrum?

Lin Yuan felt a little dissatisfied, so he went all the way back to the store, fed a bone to the guard dog at the door, and then entered the store.

The store was very quiet, with no one in it.

wrong!

"Boss Lin is back? It just so happens that Miss Liu's condition has worsened again. I just prescribed some medicine for her and she has gone upstairs to rest."

Zhang Bohua sat in the corner and didn't speak until Lin Yuan came back.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan was brave enough not to be frightened by the sudden noise. "How is Xiao Liu? Isn't her condition the same as mine? Why hasn't she recovered yet?"

Schizophrenia.

This was a disease Lin Yuan had suffered before. According to Zhang Bohua, this disease has never been cured and there is no way to cure it, but fortunately, after treatment, there has been no tendency of recurrence for such a long time.

Liu Qingqing's diagnosis was the same as his, and he was taking the same medicine prescribed by Zhang Bohua, so why did Liu Qingqing's condition become worse?
Zhang Bohua naturally knew the reason.

The so-called schizophrenia is actually the resurrection of an evil spirit.

The state of the "store manager" itself is in a state of complete recovery, and even the person in front of him is just a part of his consciousness placed outside.

When He needs it, He will occupy the body of the "store manager" and do what He wants to do.

When He needs it frequently, the so-called schizophrenia will be more severe. He rarely appears in recent times, so the schizophrenia has naturally improved a lot.

It seems that it is the credit of his traditional Chinese medicine, but what is the reality?
It is true that Chinese medicine can suppress the revival of evil spirits, but it also comes with a price, which is that after the effect of the medicine wears off, the evil spirits will counterattack more violently.

His existence made this counterattack a joke.

But Liu Qingqing is different.

Although the residual soul in her body would be suppressed when Liu Qingqing took the Chinese medicine, after a period of time, the Chinese medicine actually nourished the residual soul.

This is also the reason why Liu Qingqing's symptoms worsened.

In fact, before the "store manager" came back, the remnant soul in Liu Qingqing's body, that is, Zhang Youhong, had already revived, and the two talked a lot.

They also knew each other during the Republic of China period, but they didn't communicate much.

But in this era, both of them are old antiques from the Republic of China period. They were not very close then, but now they have a lot of topics to talk about.

If the "store manager" hadn't come back, Zhang Youhong would still be chatting with him using Liu Qingqing's body.

This is what happened, but it is difficult to explain. Zhang Bohua seems very helpless when it comes to making up stories.

"Forget it, I'll go upstairs and take a look. But Mr. Zhang, you still have to keep an eye on Xiao Liu's illness. Don't let anything get into trouble." Lin Yuan reminded solemnly.

He also noticed that Zhang Bohua had something to say, but he didn't think much about it.

Zhang Bohua had been very quiet since entering the Peace Hotel. He hadn't caused any trouble and had helped a lot. Lin Yuan was naturally relieved.

I don’t want to talk about it now, probably because I’m afraid I don’t understand the professional terms.

Lin Yuan didn't care either, he only cared about the result.

As for professional matters, they should naturally be left to professionals. He would not do such stupid things as an amateur directing professionals.

Arriving at Room 208, Lin Yuan knocked on the door and said, "Xiao Liu, it's me."

"Here comes Brother Yuan."

The door creaked open, and a woman in a red cheongsam stood there coquettishly, staring at Lin Yuan with her beautiful eyes.

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he recognized it instantly.

Liu Qingqing is now in a state of schizophrenia, which makes Lin Yuan very nervous.

The personality after schizophrenia is generally more aggressive. Although the personality in front of us looks very peaceful, who can guarantee it?

Lin Yuan didn't want to be scratched, so he subconsciously took a step back.

It was this step that made Zhang Youhong look resentful. "Brother Yuan, why do you seem a little afraid of me? Am I that scary?"

As she spoke, she took a step forward.

Lin Yuan coughed lightly and said, "Stop, stop, stop. If you are not feeling well now, just take a good rest. I am just here to take a look. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After saying that, Lin Yuan fled.

Zhang Youhong chuckled a few times and murmured in a low voice: "You are really lucky. I envy you a little bit. You actually waited for such a special existence."

No one answered. Liu Qingqing was still asleep and had no idea what was happening.

Zhang Bohua walked up slowly from downstairs. He was blind, but he could move around without any worries. You couldn't tell at all that he was blind.

Zhang Youhong did not move at this time. Logically speaking, the blind man should not be able to find her.

But after Zhang Bohua went upstairs, his face turned very accurately and said, "You should be more cautious, otherwise, no one can save you."

Zhang Youhong's current condition is very special. She relies on Liu Qingqing's red cheongsam, red high-heeled shoes, and the faceless puppet in her body to retain a part of her consciousness.

With the nourishment of Zhang Bohua's traditional Chinese medicine, it was able to appear for a little longer.

If Lin Yuan really felt that she was an obstacle and wanted to get rid of her, he only needed to find a suitable reason, and it didn't have to be Zhang Bohua.

Zhang Youhong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits."

"Better so."

Zhang Bohua didn't say anything else. There was only so much affection between the two of them, and it was already very good to have said this.

Zhang Youhong suddenly asked, "Oh, right, let me ask you the same question again. In the decades since my death, is it true that there has been no news about the store manager at all?"

Zhang Bohua stopped and asked, "Do you also doubt that 'He' has appeared before?"

"It's not a doubt, but a certainty. How could an existence like Him be accomplished in an instant? The reason why we have not heard of His existence is that it is very likely a terrifying existence that existed earlier than us, and it was not short from our time. Just like now, dozens or nearly a hundred years have covered up all our traces." Zhang Youhong stated a possibility.

Obviously, she also got a lot of information and believed the traces that the "store manager" had appeared.

But Zhang Bohua knew very well that Zhang Youhong's attitude was not credible at all. Her expression was always very realistic, so realistic that it was difficult to tell whether it was true or false.

"Maybe, but at least in my impression, 'He' has only appeared in the past one or two years."

Zhang Bohua didn't say much, turned around and went back to his room, obviously unwilling to get involved in such matters anymore.

"Old fox."

Zhang Youhong curled her lips and returned to her room. She touched her fair skin and whispered, "They say curiosity is the beginning of falling. I don't know if I am beginning to fall or if I am influenced by you. But it doesn't matter. After all... it's quite interesting."

Soon, the Peace Hotel, which had been deserted, became lively again.

Old Qin drove the supernatural bus and sent the ghost officials back. Of course, the nearly one hundred animals were also transported back in batches.

He Yuelian also rushed back, bringing Xiao An, Xiao Xi, and the four robots, and together they sent all the beasts into the underground laboratory through the commemorative coin exchange office.

They will be delivered to Caesar Hotel early tomorrow morning.

The ghost messenger and other evil spirits returned to their posts, but Tong Qian and Fang Shiming stayed, their eyes all on He Yuelian.

"It was indeed you just now. I didn't expect you to be more radical than Liu Qingqing. You actually started the blind date mode directly, and you were wearing a red wedding dress. Are you so eager to become the boss's wife?" Fang Shiming said with a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

It was because He Yuelian was still wearing the red wedding dress and red embroidered shoes. She only put away the red head cover, but she kept it on her body and could put it on at any time. However, this supernatural equipment used to protect consciousness seemed a bit useless under the premise of the supernatural protection of the "store manager".

Her bright red outfit is similar to Liu Qingqing's.

It’s just that hers is obviously an imitation of an ancient style, while Liu Qingqing’s is from the Republic of China period. They are two completely different styles, yet they look inexplicably familiar.

He Yuelian mastered ghost painting and was greatly affected by the supernatural.

If she had not returned to the ghost realm of the "store manager" now, even her normal human emotions would have been suppressed. It could be said that she had ascended to heaven in one step, or she could also say that she had sunk into depravity in one step.

Facing Fang Shiming's ridicule, He Yuelian's expression did not change at all, "You can try to stop me."

"Ah!"

Fang Shiming sneered, turned around and left without saying anything else.

Tong Qian said: "Friends Circle's power is not only in the supernatural circle, but also in the ordinary people's circle. It is a behemoth with a huge amount of capital. He can't deal with you in the store, but in reality, he may target your family's business."

"You are wrong. The supernatural is the foundation. As long as there is enough power, the so-called large group can be easily established." He Yuelian said lightly.

Tong Qian was stunned for a moment, "Why... do you have such an idea?"

"It's normal to have such thoughts. But you, who obviously have powers beyond ordinary people, have always bound yourself with the worldview of ordinary people. This is the most stupid thing."

After He Yuelian finished speaking, she headed straight for the Peace Hotel.

Tong Qian stood there with her brows furrowed tightly, while Guo Fan, who was watching the show, said, "After getting the power, Xiao He is very arrogant. I hope she doesn't lose her mind because of the power, otherwise the boss will not like her anymore."

Tong Qian gave Guo Fan a strange look, "Are you...envious?"

"How is that possible? Why should I envy her?" Guo Fan had a look of disdain on his face, but his heart couldn't help but bleed.

Not envious?
How can it be!

A day ago, He Yuelian was just an ordinary person. Even though she was the lobby manager of the Peace Hotel, she was also one of the first four chefs.

But just within one short day, He Yuelian had mastered the ghost painting, the source of this S-level supernatural event, and became a top ghost master in one fell swoop.

How could I not be envious of something like this?
As a veteran ghost rider, Guo Fan knew very well how much hardship and fatigue he had endured, as well as how many near-death experiences he had, to be able to live to this day.

But the result?

But she is still not as good as He Yuelian, who obviously did nothing and was even forced all the way. But even so, she still possesses such a terrifying ghost.

How could you not be envious?
I'm so jealous!!!

But as a man, even if he has controlled a fierce ghost and his stomach is empty, he still has to maintain his dignity, so Guo Fan would never show cowardice in front of Tong Qian.

Tong Qian just shook her head and said nothing more.

After most of the day, the Peace Hotel returned to normal, but it was closed today, so Lin Yuan specially gave everyone an early shift.

Guo Fan wanted to show his ability and make a splash, so he was unwilling to leave.

Tong Qian didn't care. She said hello to Lin Yuan and returned to reality. She went to the headquarters to report what happened today and also to check on the situation of Yang Jian and the others.

He Yuelian came to the third floor for the first time and knocked on the door.

"coming."

Lin Yuan opened the door and saw He Yuelian, who looked almost identical to the one she wore at Shuangqiao Town Primary School, except for the red veil. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he pretended not to know and asked, "Why did you change into new clothes today?"

He Yuelian sighed secretly, but did not break the tacit understanding. She smiled and opened her hands and turned them in a circle, "Brother Yuan, does it look good?"

"Well, it's pretty good. You are also more suitable for this style. Look at you, you smile a lot more." Lin Yuan gave a very pertinent evaluation, "By the way, what do you want to talk to me about? You don't just want to ask me if it looks good, right? You should ask Xiao Liu and the others. They are more suitable to answer this question than me."

He Yuelian shook her head. "No, Brother Yuan. I want to talk to you about the development of the store."

"Oh? You want to talk to me about this? Okay, then come in and talk." Lin Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect He Yuelian to talk to him about the development of Peace Hotel.

This is really the first time!

It was also the first time for He Yuelian to enter this room. She looked around curiously, but found that it was very ordinary, just like any other ordinary home decoration.

At most, it's in the style of the Republic of China period, neither luxurious nor simple, just above average.

It was undoubtedly much simpler than her home in Tai O City, but she still liked this feeling because... it felt like home.

"Sit down. What do you want to say?"

Lin Yuan took He Yuelian to sit down on the sofa. He wanted to hear what He Yuelian wanted to say to him.

He Yuelian recalled Zhang Xianguang's suggestion and first straightened her expression to show that she was not talking nonsense, but had seriously considered it.

Sure enough, her attitude also affected Lin Yuan, making him more serious.

"Brother Yuan, this is what I think. The development of our store has reached a bottleneck. The main reason is not that the food or service in the store is bad, but that the location is too remote. There is no village in front and no store behind. Most of the customers come by bus. Most of them are transient customers, and there are relatively few returning customers. So I'm thinking, should we try to open some branches in some big cities?"

Lin Yuan was a little disappointed after hearing this.

He had thought about this before, but gave up in the end. Even the Caesar Hotel, which he had purchased at a huge price, was used by him as a breeding farm, preparing to be self-sufficient.

Now that He Yuelian brought it up, it was clear that she had given it some thought, but not much.

"Xiao He, you have to know that the world is not stable now. With intelligent beasts, beasts with special abilities, and people with evil intentions, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is the end of the world, but it is definitely a chaotic world. Look at the headquarters, there is not even a universal currency system, which is enough to show how chaotic the world is. In such a chaotic world, people have limited resources, so naturally there are few people who can eat in the restaurant. After all, it is already difficult to survive."

Lin Yuan sighed. He thought of Dachang City, where hyenas were rampant, and Dahai City, which was transformed into a large laboratory by a certain scientist...

How innocent are the people inside?
"Brother Yuan, I know what you mean. But even if most people don't have money, there are still some people who have money, just like the people who come to the store to spend money these days. They are all able to control... tame wild animals for their own use. They can survive in this chaotic world. Even if they don't have money, they can still catch wild animals. There aren't many of these people, but there are definitely a lot. As long as we open a store where there is a need, we will definitely make money."

He Yuelian tried hard to persuade Lin Yuan, because only in this way could her value be maximized and Lin Yuan see his importance.

Seeing that Lin Yuan was still hesitating, He Yuelian suddenly said, "If we can provide these people with a stable resting place, so that they can hunt wild animals, or even monsters, without any worries, then is it possible that over time, the world will gradually become stable?"

Ok?
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, "Adventurer's Inn?"

"What?" He Yuelian was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

But Lin Yuan was already very cheerful in his heart.

Combining the model described by He Yuelian with the current state of the world, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered some novels he had read before.

In those novels, humans also coexist with other races, and these races pose a great threat to humans. Therefore, in many places, especially in cities near the border, there are adventurers who specialize in hunting these races.

Where these adventurers exist, attacks on humans by other races will decrease.

Although it cannot reach the level of exterminating other races and maintaining humans' unique position at the top of the food chain, it can greatly alleviate the survival pressure of ordinary people.

In such a city, there is often an adventurer's tavern or a similar place.

On the one hand, it can provide these adventurers with a relatively stable resting environment, and on the other hand, it can also issue tasks, complete transactions, etc., which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"I see. I was just wondering about this and that before. I didn't expect that there was already a mature system in my memory before I traveled through time that I could apply!"

When in Shuangqiao Town, Lin Yuan was infected by Ling Yiguang's great ambitions.

However, he knew very well that he was just an ordinary restaurant owner and did not have the ability to spend decades formulating a huge plan to save humanity like Ling Yiguang did.

So after coming back, his ordinary heart was constantly struggling.

It was not until He Yuelian's arrival that she woke him up and made him realize what he should do, and how to do it best in conjunction with the "golden finger" of his own exchange type.

That's right.

That is to open branches of the Peace Hotel in cities that need it, and let these branches serve as adventurer taverns.

Although the effect that a few adventurer taverns can bring is very weak, as long as we do more, even if it is just to kill a few more wild beasts or monsters, it is also an achievement!

Small amounts add up to a lot, and sand piles build a tower. It's just like this.

"Brother Yuan? Brother Yuan?"

He Yuelian felt a little uneasy, because when Lin Yuan was thinking, the surrounding environment became foggy. The supernatural changes made her, who controlled the ghost painting, feel extremely clearly, and she could feel the unspeakable horror more than when she was an ordinary person.

S-level supernatural event, ghost painting?

In the face of this kind of spiritual fluctuation, He Yuelian felt like a painting that could be destroyed by a strong wind, and she had no sense of security at all.

Fortunately, her cry woke Lin Yuan up.

Lin Yuan was so excited that he pressed He Yuelian's shoulders and said excitedly: "Xiao He, you are really my lucky star. You just enlightened me with your words!"

"Ah? Is that so? Ha, ha ha!" He Yuelian's face was stiff and her smile was a little unnatural.

Shy?
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he withdrew his hand embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I was a little too excited. But your suggestion is very good, we need to discuss it in detail."
