I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 443: Skill: Sheep-pulling, the bewitching Zhang Xianguang
【Diary retrieval service: 15 yuan/article.】

Zhen Lin Yuan gave a price, which was also the price he had thought about carefully.

Five ghosts for a diary, this price is actually quite reasonable, but the "store manager" will double the price, which is the price of ten ghosts.

Considering the Wang family's background in Dadong City and Wang Chaling's strength, this price is a bit expensive.

But there are two points.

First, writing a diary requires a lot of effort, and one needs to consider the cause and effect relationships, especially the content involved, which needs to be carefully considered to avoid obvious contradictions and loopholes.

The other is that Wang Chaling cannot be left idle.

This kid is the type who will hide away when nothing happens. Normally, he will never take the initiative to participate in supernatural events. Isn't this a waste of the four ghosts around him?

The contents of the diary were like bait, luring Wang Chaling in tightly, allowing him to make some progress. Even if he didn't actively become a ghost rider, he would at least use the power of the four ghosts brought by the Wang family bloodline curse to properly handle supernatural events, imprison the evil ghosts, and then come to the store to consume, thus promoting the prosperity of the Peace Hotel...

"Old Jin, you really are dark!"

Lin Yuan raised his middle finger in his heart to show respect and contempt, then turned around and said to Wang Chaling: "The content of the diary is quite long and complicated. It is very troublesome to restore it. So..."

Wang Chaling's expression changed constantly, "So there is no way, right?"

Lin Yuan's face straightened, and he said solemnly: "No, you have to pay more... No, it's more expensive, thirty yuan for one diary. If you are willing, I can give it a try."

He almost turned into a money-giving lay Buddhist, but fortunately Lin Yuan reacted in time and did not fall into heresy.

Thirty dollars?

So ten ghosts?

The corner of Wang Cha Ling's eye twitched. It was obvious that the price was beyond his expectation. But after thinking silently, Ye Zhen's information cost twenty-two yuan, and the information in his father's diary involved more secrets. Thirty yuan, it seemed, probably, should... not be particularly expensive?
Looking at the four tigers around him, Wang Chaling felt relieved and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I agree. Now I'll trouble Boss Lin to help him recover."

"One hand pays the other hand delivers the goods. Did you bring the money with you?" Lin Yuan shook his head.

Wang Chaling just sold the nearly 100 ghosts in his ancestral home yesterday, and he has been keeping the commemorative coins he got with him. After all, even his ancestral home was destroyed, so he didn't think the safety performance of Ning'an Building was very high.

Even though there were many ghost riders belonging to his Wang family.

After operating in Dadong City for so many years, the Wang family has quite a few ghost riders, but none of them are top ghost riders. The most they can ride are those who can ride two ghosts.

To control two ghosts, his strength is still too weak.

After taking out ten commemorative coins, Lin Yuan immediately gave a bright smile and signaled Liu Qingqing to put the money away - the lobby manager He Yuelian had not returned yet, but there were other people in the store, so there was naturally no need for him to do it himself.

These commemorative coins will be sent back to the commemorative coin exchange office later, just like exchanging left and right hands, and it can also save some money on buying rice dumpling leaves from Liu San.

"Boss Lin, please be quick." Wang Chaling urged anxiously.

Lin Yuan shrugged and said, "It's not that fast. I also need time to restore the contents of the diary. It's just like archaeology. It requires energy."

Actually, "Golden Finger" had already prepared everything, and Lin Yuan just delayed it deliberately.

the reason is simple.

Most of the words in the diary are missing. If he can quickly restore the contents of the diary, Wang Chaling will feel that it is not worth thirty yuan. What if he wants a refund?
Of course, he is not afraid if this kid really wants to cause trouble.

They are just four tigers. Lao Fan can deal with them all by himself. The main reason is that Lin Yuan doesn’t want to ruin the reputation of the store.

After all...he couldn't kill Wang Chaling.

So take longer and make things more difficult so that customers can feel that their money is worth spending.

"You can consider the matter to this extent. I am really considerate in doing business!" Lin Yuan was so self-admiring that he didn't notice Wang Chaling's face which was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Faced with the "store manager's" conditions, Wang Chaling had no choice but to agree dejectedly, said "I'll come again tomorrow morning" and left.

Lin Yuan, who still wanted to earn some money for food, sighed regretfully.

"Brother Yuan, don't try to pull the wool from a sheep. What if you scare the sheep away and it doesn't come to the store?" Liu Qingqing said with a smile.

In front of his own people, Lin Yuan was too lazy to hide. "It's okay. There are at least ten articles in the notebook in his hand. If this kid really wants to know what his father wrote, he will definitely save money and come to me. This is called making money while standing, understand?"

understand?

Liu Qingqing sighed secretly. Sometimes she really didn't know how to respond, but she just liked to be close to the "store manager".

This is really unique.

The same is true for He Yuelian and He Yiner, but He Yiner's symptoms are milder because she did not stay in the Peace Hotel as long as the other two.

In recent days, when it is time to get off work, she will leave with Tong Qian, Guo Fan and others.

Of course she wasn't going to headquarters.

As the captain now, she seems to be a person who only follows orders and not announcements. Anyway, the headquarters will not arrange her to do anything. She just needs to pay attention to the Ohara City and several surrounding small towns under her charge and fulfill her responsibilities as the captain.

It just so happened that her personality determined that she would never watch evil spirits attack ordinary people.

He Yiner would return to Dayuan City after get off work in the evening.

In addition to fulfilling this responsibility, it is also because a brand new Taiping Ancient Town is now rising from the ground in Dayuan City.

Boss Liu, the faceless man, and the middle-aged woman have basically all moved here.

It was during these two days that He Yin'er finished her seventh-day vigil for He Liansheng. Coincidentally, when He Yin'er was working at the Peace Hotel during the day, these three old seniors could also help look after Ohara City.

Their strength is definitely not weak, and is comparable to that of the captain's level of strong men.

With them around, nothing will happen to Dayuan City unless it's an S-level supernatural event or an attack by a strong man like Zhang Xianguang.

After finishing their work lunch after get off work, He Yiner, Tong Qian and Guo Fan left the Peace Hotel together.

Lin Yuan was about to go upstairs with the diary left by Wang Cha Ling, but he heard someone calling him from behind. Turning around, he saw it was A Wu who had asked him to buy news about the second dimension Ye Zhen.

Business is coming!

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and even though he was a little sleepy, he still turned around with a smile to greet him - it was making money, not shameful.

"Boss Lin, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but something urgent happened, so I had to come." Awu said apologetically.

Lin Yuan's smile remained unchanged as he said enthusiastically, "No, no, we run a shop to serve our customers well. Xiao Wu, tell me what you need. As long as it's within my ability and you have money, I will definitely not refuse."

money!
Ah Wu sighed, "Boss Lin, we are almost out of funds. What we are taking out now is our last savings, but I really have no other choice."

Lin Yuan nodded, but he didn't really care.

How could people who play the two-dimensional game be without money? Moreover, they are organized and have set up a forum. Can ordinary people play this game?
In peacetime, it would require the investment of countless resources.

The world is so chaotic nowadays. If you want to play this kind of thing, in addition to resources, you also need the guarantee of power, otherwise it is impossible to play it.

In other words, behind Ye Zhen and A Wu, there is a wealthy and powerful background.

Such a person says he has no money?
You really think you are a fool.

Maybe they thought the previous information was too expensive, so they suddenly said this. Lin Yuan thought to himself, "I'd better not make double the profit next time, 50%, so as not to scare people away. Steady income is the way to run a business."

Awu came here now because of Ye Zhen’s matter.

Before, after getting the scribbled map on the A4 paper, Wang Chaling returned to reality while communicating with the "store manager".

During the one or two hundred chapters when Ye Zhen disappeared, people from the headquarters also contacted Awu.

From his initial firm refusal to his later wavering, Awu even had the idea of ​​taking the entire supernatural forum to the headquarters.

no way.

The ghost grave incident completely destroyed the spirit of the Supernatural Forum and made them realize that the strength of the Supernatural Forum was based on Ye Zhen.

The others might not be weak either, but they are far from being able to control a city.

Even if the headquarters did not forcibly recruit them, facing the increasingly frequent supernatural incidents, without a strong leader like Ye Zhen, their final outcome would definitely not be good, and it would even implicate many ordinary people.

Being able to be appointed as the person in charge of an extremely important city like Dahai City in the early days of the supernatural revival, Awu's character is naturally trusted.

He was willing to help Ye Zhen, even at the cost of leaving the headquarters. Many stories happened during that time, but that didn't mean he was a tough guy.

until today.

After the "store manager" confirmed the news about Ye Zhen, his originally wavering heart instantly settled down, and he also brought the news back, which completely stabilized the restless supernatural forum.

Then, he tried to find Ye Zhen and bring him back.

The A4 map given by the "store manager" looked very sloppy, but after leaving the Peace Hotel and the White Mist Ghost Domain, the strong supernatural power on it could be felt even by a newcomer who had just become a ghost rider. Obviously, this was a rare supernatural item.

Based on his previous experience of exchanging items from the Peace Hotel, Awu tried to use supernatural powers to activate this A4 paper map.

The result was not unexpected.

Under the influence of supernatural power, this A4 paper map changed and turned into... a light gate.

Fortunately, Awu is also knowledgeable.

This light gate is exactly the same as the directional portal at the entrance of the Peace Hotel that is connected to the Caesar Hotel.

Through the light gate in front of them, they could even see the gloomy and towering apartment building behind it, as well as the figures constantly moving in and out of the windows.

Obviously, this is the apartment where the landlord, the king mentioned by the "store manager", lives, and Ye Zhen is also inside!

Awu has no clear understanding of the King's strength. Even with the introduction of the "store manager", he can only compare himself with the domestic captains.

If there was only one captain, although they would not be able to defeat the opponent, it would not be impossible for them to send the message in.

So he organized a team of five people and entered through the light gate.

He originally wanted to go in with them, but was stopped by the members. Now the supernatural forum has lost Ye Zhen, if it loses A Wu as well, it might really be swallowed up.

With the news about Ye Zhen, no one thought about changing camp anymore.

Then?

Nothing happened after that. After this five-member team entered the apartment, there was no news of them anymore. At the same time, several figures walked out of the apartment, actually planning a counter-invasion.

Awu immediately withdrew his supernatural power and closed the passage, but his mood did not improve.

Five lives!

Five colleagues!

just this.

Awu also understood what the king meant, so he did not send anyone else to die. Instead, he went back to the store to find the "store manager", hoping to get help from "store manager" Lin.

At least, the "store manager" can be hired to help with work as long as you have money.

"Fifteen dollars. I hope Boss Lin can help me call Ye Zhen back." A Wu explained his purpose and handed over five commemorative coins.

Fifteen dollars!
Lin Yuan was somewhat tempted, but when he thought about Ye Zhen going abroad, he hesitated, "This money is not small, but Ye Zhen is abroad now. I am afraid it will be troublesome to call him back."

"There is a directional portal that can take you there directly." Awu said directly.

Lin Yuan was not surprised, he just gave a thumbs up and said: "You really have space teleportation technology, you really are worthy of being a two-dimensional player, you have money, power, and technology."

Awu:? ? ?
This portal was given to me by you, right?
Awu was a little confused about the current setting of the "store manager". In order to avoid getting into trouble and being attacked, he pretended to be deep. Fortunately, this trick worked.

Lin Yuan did not go into details. "You have to wait for me for a moment. After all, we are going abroad this time. No one knows what the situation is like abroad. I have to bring more helpers with me."

Now the whole world has entered a chaotic end times. The situation in China is better, with unified dispatch and specialized handling departments.

But what is there abroad?
In order to avoid being besieged by wild beasts or even monsters, Lin Yuan naturally had to be adequately prepared.

The ghost messenger Lao Fan must be brought along.

He is the absolute main force of the Peace Hotel security team, and he has to bring the two guard dogs he usually brings to work with him.

Although they usually appear to be very well-behaved, Lin Yuan has seen their sharp teeth.

In other words, they won't grind their teeth or anything in the Peace Hotel, otherwise he wouldn't feel comfortable leaving them directly at the door of the store.

What about the rest?
"Brother Yuan, are you going out? I'll go with you. I'm free and don't want to rest so early." When Liu Qingqing heard the noise, she took the initiative to step forward and volunteered.

Worry?

Nothing to worry about.

When the "store manager" was out on patrol, even if she was worried, it was because she was worried that others would not be able to withstand the pressure. She just wanted to take advantage of He Yuelian's absence to get closer to Lin Yuan.

That's right.

He Yuelian did not come back this afternoon. She just called Lin Yuan to ask for leave, saying that there were some problems with the preparations for the branch and she needed some time to pay attention to it.

Although she didn't know why He Yuelian was like this, it didn't stop Liu Qingqing from seizing such a good opportunity.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "We are going abroad this time, so there may be some dangers. You should stay in the store and avoid making me worry."

These words were not only spoken to Liu Qingqing, but also to Xiao An and Xiao Xi who also came out after hearing the noise.

After taking this look, he realized that there were quite a few cooks not in the store tonight: Tong Qian, He Yiner, He Yuelian... There were three of them not staying in the store at once, which made him a little uncomfortable.

But, dangerous?
Liu Qingqing puffed up her cheeks. She didn't think there would be any danger in following the "store manager". "Brother Yuan, you brought Lao Fan, Lao Hei, Lao Hua and the others with you. How could there be any danger? How about calling Lao Li and Xiao Fang as well?"

Old Li, of course, refers to the tall male corpse Li Qingzhi.

Xiao Fang refers to the president of the circle of friends, Fang Shiming.

Not to mention, Lin Yuan was really tempted, but he still shook his head, "No need, some people have to stay in the store to look after it, I don't want to find out the store has been robbed when I come back from going out. Also, Lao Cao and the others are coming over tonight, if they want to have a midnight snack or drinks, someone has to take care of them. If the others are not here, you'll have to work hard tonight."

Having said that, Liu Qingqing should have agreed, but she directly summoned a few robots, "Brother Yuan, it's okay to have them here. We shouldn't be out for long, right?"

Lin Yuan: "..."

Finally, the team going abroad to look for Ye Zhen was determined, one of whom was the boss who paid the money - Awu from the Supernatural Forum.

Then there is the workhorse of this trip.

The "store manager" of Peace Hotel Lin Yuan, the employee Liu Qingqing, as well as the ghost catcher Lao Fan, the watchdog the starving ghost Lao Hua, and the watchdog the knocking ghost Lao Hei.

"Let's go now."

Awu couldn't wait any longer and immediately picked up the A4 map. Soon the paper turned into a light gate. Through the light gate, he could see that at the other end of the light gate was a dark sky, and below was a five-story building. There were some dim lights on the windows of each floor, and human figures could be vaguely seen.

"This scene doesn't look normal. Everyone, be careful."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and waved his hand, and the watchdog·Starving Ghost·Lao Hua and the watchdog·Knocking Ghost·Lao Hei rushed in directly.

……

"Build an adventurer system? Make all ghost riders adventurers, and turn the branch into a place to receive and send missions, exchange information, and take a break? I didn't realize the store manager actually has such a broad mind."

Since it was a cooperation, He Yuelian naturally told her what the "store manager" had told her about the situation of the related branch.

After listening to this, Zhang Xianguang's tone was full of emotion, which made He Yuelian a little dissatisfied. "Brother Yuan is thinking about solving the problem. This is not a reason for you to laugh at him. If you disrespect him again, we don't have to cooperate anymore."

Zhang Xianguang shook his head. "You misunderstood. I'm not mocking you, I'm admiring you. In fact, what he and I are doing is similar, except that my plan is Peach Blossom Spring, while he wants to make use of all the ghost riders. If I'm not mistaken, there should be ways to train ghost riders in the future to ensure that there will be a steady stream of 'adventurers' born."

"A ghost rider born in the Peace Hotel, or in other words, any ghost rider who has had some connection with the Peace Hotel, will be marked with the Peace Hotel's mark. In this way, the path he chose can indeed be called a win-win situation. Ordinary people, and him."

He Yuelian frowned, "If you are just here to express your feelings, you can leave now."

"Sorry, that's what happens when you get old. Let's get down to business."

Appearance of a man in his thirties, but a heart of a man in his seventies or eighties.

Zhang Xianguang is indeed old, but his heart, just like his appearance, still maintains hope and drive for the future.

The failure of the Peach Blossom Spring Project did not break his enthusiasm. Instead, he continued to work hard in another direction. "After the branch opens, I will bring people to become the first batch of adventurers. It is considered as my support for you."

He Yuelian's expression looked much better. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. From a certain perspective, our goals are actually the same." Zhang Xianguang shook his head, "But have you ever thought that this simple cleanup is actually not very efficient? Moreover, ghost riders have always been suspicious, and it will take a long time to get them to accept the adventurer system."

He Yuelian said: "So I have reached a cooperation with the Supernatural Forum. As long as there is a leader and they can see the benefits, more ghost riders will naturally join in. Moreover, the reputation of the Peace Hotel is still very useful now."

This is true.

Over the past year, the existence of the Peace Hotel has been recognized by the vast majority of ghost riders, at least in China. However, abroad, since it is difficult for ghost riders to enter the country safely and confirm the situation of the Peace Hotel, there are still doubts about the existence of the Peace Hotel.

"Ordinary people think like this. Opening a branch should not be your purpose, but your means. If you can achieve outstanding results in this project and get his favor, this is your goal, isn't it?" Zhang Xianguang said.

He Yuelian sneered, "After all, don't you want me to use the ghost domain of ghost painting to cover the entire Dahai City and realize your Peach Blossom Spring plan?"

Zhang Xianguang said calmly, "This is indeed my purpose, but there is no conflict between us, right? In fact, the ghost painting is not disliked by him, otherwise why would it turn into peach blossom rain, right?"
