I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 448 The game begins!

Walking out of the gate of Peace Hotel, without the "store manager" by his side, Awu prepared to tell Ye Zhen about the changes in Dahai City in the past few months.

Especially the ghost grave incident that almost destroyed Dahai City, and the fact that Peace Hotel sent He Yuelian to open a branch in Dahai City and asked their supernatural forum to cooperate and become adventurers.

But he stopped talking before he could even start talking because a few people were walking towards him.

An old man with a kind smile, a tall man without a face, and a middle-aged woman wearing bulky clothes - a very strange combination.

But in the paranormal circle, the stranger the person, the more vigilant you need to be.

Obviously, these three people are ghost riders.

The three of them also saw Ye Zhen and A Wu, but did not say hello. They walked directly into the Peace Hotel, and then heard the warm greetings from the "store manager" Lin Yuan.

"Let's go, what are you waiting for?" Ye Zhen had already taken a few steps and turned back to greet Awu who was standing still.

Awu hurriedly followed and felt relieved at the same time.

The strength of those three strange guys just now should be just like that, otherwise, with the effects of Ye Zhen's current second-year syndrome, he would definitely have to drag the other side into a peak battle!
But how would he know?

Just now when Ye Zhen passed by the three people, he took out a piece of paper and looked at it.

This piece of paper was exactly what he got when he made a wish from the Wish-Manicuring Cat a few months ago. It contained not only the names of the masters in the world, but also their inductions.

When you meet a corresponding master, the other person's appearance will be revealed next to his name.

obviously.

This is not the ability of the wishing ghost, but is affected by the power of the "store manager", but it is extremely useful and saves a lot of trouble.

This avoids the situation where Ye Zhen only knows the name but cannot find the person.

There was nothing strange about the paper just now, which meant that these three people were not among the world's masters at all, so there was no need to pay too much attention to them.

They walked out of the bluestone path and onto the main road. Following the direction the haunted bus left, the two walked directly into the white fog.

The scene, which was originally visible, suddenly became so dark that I could barely see my hand. Fortunately, this situation did not last too long. After just a few breaths, the vision suddenly became clear.

This is the rebuilt Dahai City. Although it is night, it is brightly lit and bustling with people.

Looking around again, there was no white fog anymore.

The two of them suddenly appeared on the streets of Dahai City, but they did not attract much attention. Ye Zhen held Awu's shoulder and said, "Let's go."

The next moment, Ye Zhen, who had turned into a rainbow from the ghost realm, brought A Wu back to Ning'an Building.

Ye Zhen's return instantly revitalized the originally depressed supernatural forum, which was no longer as depressed as before. This was the positive effect after the return of the backbone.

Ye Zhen naturally didn't care about these.

Returning to his collection room, he looked at the rows of neatly displayed figures all around him and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"I come here to maintain it every day to make sure there is no dust or anything," said Awu.

Ye Zhen nodded with satisfaction, "That's thoughtful. By the way, didn't you say you had something to say? Now you can tell me."

"it is good."

Awu did not hesitate and told everything that had happened during this period.

Originally Ye Zhen was still fiddling with a handsome fairy hero figurine, but when he heard the middle part, his whole body became like a sword drawn from its sheath, with an extremely sharp aura.

The corner of Awu's mouth twitched. He knew that Ye Zhen was going to act like a middle school student again, but he was still looking forward to it.

Even though Ye Zhen has a severe case of chuunibyou, he actually never makes people worry when doing things. He is a person who can shoulder the safety of an entire city.

Otherwise, they would not be so convinced of Ye Zhen.

"How dare a mere brat attack my people while I'm away? This is outrageous! I'll take care of him and let him know how powerful I am!"

"Boss, actually... Hey, hey, hey, boss, slow down!"

Watching Ye Zhen Huahong leave, A Wu helplessly put down his hand that was raised in the air. He was not in a hurry to follow him, but waited in the room instead.

Sure enough, after a while, Ye Zhen came back again.

"Did the little devil escape?"

Ye Zhen was very confused. He had just been to Fu Shou Garden, but there was nothing there except a mess. There was not even a trace of spiritual aura, let alone a cemetery.

It was like an ordinary mass grave, with nothing in it.

Ah Wu then said, "The last ghost grave incident was finally dealt with by the store manager. The cemetery must have been taken away by the store manager. We were all in the safe house at the time and didn't know the specific situation. These were all reported by the headquarters later. Of course, the headquarters was not sure about the whereabouts of the cemetery, but after that incident, the Peace Hotel had an underground nano-laboratory. I'm 90% sure that it was the cemetery that the store manager packed up and took back."

Tong Qian's existence provides a lot of information to the headquarters.

Only a few people in the Peace Hotel knew that Lin Yuan had packed up the Endless Cemetery, but after Tong Qian revealed it to the headquarters, it was no longer a secret.

It’s just that everyone has a tacit understanding and no one will go to the “store manager” to talk about this matter.

After all, Tong Qian is the only one among the four chefs who is willing to reveal news about the Peace Hotel and the "store manager". She is also the one who can access some confidential information of the "store manager". If the headquarters knows it, it also means that everyone knows it, so naturally no one will think of cutting off their own channels.

At least that's the case until there are new news channels.

"Since it's Boss Lin who's helping, then let's consider it good luck. What else is going on?" Ye Zhen asked.

Awu said: "There is also the matter of the Peace Hotel opening a branch..."

As for the branch store, we have only prepared the venue for now. Without the confirmation of the "store manager", this branch will naturally be invalid.

However, He Yuelian was not stingy with the basic information and some intelligence in order to gain the support of the supernatural forum.

The most important point is the adventurer system.

Of course, he used the normal way of communication used by ghost riders, rather than the way he communicated with the "store manager" in the Peace Hotel. It is also very easy to understand.

"Go to the store to verify your adventurer identity, then use this identity to receive tasks, kill the little ghosts, and then take the little ghosts to the store to exchange for bounties, while providing the adventurer level? Bounties and points can be exchanged for supernatural items, and can also be used as currency for staying in the hotel? Are you sure this is not a game?"

Ye Zhen stroked his chin, with doubt in his eyes.

Abu said: "This system is indeed borrowed from the system in the game by the store manager, but generally speaking, it is a good thing. At least we have a new channel to obtain supernatural items."

The supernatural items in the Peace Hotel are all very good.

Especially the scapegoat doll, there is also the opportunity to make a wish to the lucky cat, including traditional Chinese medicine from the old Chinese doctor Zhang Bohua, and even piano music that can save lives.

All these things are really heart-warming.

"That's right. Even if there is no branch, we still need to clean up any ghosts nearby. It would be nice to exchange these ghosts for some resources. There are so many stored in the warehouse now, and they are of no use. By the way, bring some ghosts with me to the Peace Hotel tomorrow. I want to challenge the masters, and I need some props." Ye Zhen said.

Ah Wu's face changed, and he said cautiously: "Boss, the ghosts in the warehouse have been used up in the Peace Hotel."

"Impossible! Although the consumption level of Peace Hotel is high, there are dozens of ghosts in our warehouse, enough to host a banquet. How could it be used up so quickly?" Ye Zhen absolutely did not believe it. "Are you kidding me? Ah Wu, you have become humorous too."

Ah Wu smiled and said, "It's true, this is what happened."

He told everyone how he had used ghosts to buy information, including asking the "store manager" to help find someone.

After hearing this, Ye Zhen stood there in a daze, and suddenly said in annoyance: "You are confused! I fought with the landlord in that apartment, and I actually had the upper hand. Why did I need to spend so much money?"

Awu was silent.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen suddenly became quiet. He reached out and patted Awu on the shoulder, saying solemnly, "Thank you for your hard work over the past few months."

Although he had been invaded by the supernatural and his ordinary people's emotions had been suppressed to the limit, at this moment, Awu still had an urge to cry.

Well, just impulse.

……

At the Peace Hotel, Lin Yuan was in a very happy mood.

The owner of the manor, Old Dai, actually didn't want any money and wanted to give the vegetable greenhouse directly to himself. He couldn't refuse it. Old Dai was even willing to help manage the vegetable greenhouse and even bring his own old black slaves with him. All the vegetables grown would be supplied to the store for free.

How can one not be happy when getting something for free like this?
Then there was a new landlord, Lao Ni. Although he was just here to inspect, there were many injured stray animals, which were temporarily placed in the Caesar Farm.

For the physical and mental safety of these stray animals, Lin Yuan naturally has to provide them with a good environment, which is also a good thing.

Also, Old Liu, the faceless man and the middle-aged woman from Taiping Ancient Town came, and they specifically asked to go to the e-sports room to play virtual games, and even prepared the money.

Obviously, the future of e-sports rooms and virtual games is getting brighter and brighter.

The age of the audience has also increased from ordinary young people to middle-aged and elderly people in their 50s and 60s, and these elderly people are also a large consumer group, especially those who receive pensions. Looking at the six or seven commemorative coins in the hands of Lao Liu and his friends, it is clear that they are a major consumer force!

Lin Yuan was particularly happy today, and when he was happy, the owner of the manor was also very happy, "Boss, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No, no, it's getting late, you should go back and rest." Lin Yuan said quickly.

This is a good man who uses all his fortune to support himself. He can't get tired, and he can't ruin his body.

The owner of the manor glanced at the landlord and said, "It's okay. I'll wait a little longer. I have something to talk to... the old nun later."

landlord:"……"

Hearing that there was something going on, Lin Yuan did not force it, "Then you guys sit down for a while. Lao Liu, don't you want to play games? Come with me, I'll take you to the e-sports room first."

"Okay."

Boss Liu responded with a smile. When he, the faceless man, and the middle-aged woman followed Lin Yuan away, he glanced at the owner of the manor and the landlord, "Foreigners?"

Although it is a room arranged underground, the nano-laboratory recognized by the "store manager" is very technological.

After some arrangements, it looks very distinctive, pleasing to the eye, and also gives people a feeling of coming to an unknown world.

Lin Yuan did this on purpose.

Since it is a virtual game, it must be built to be different. He smiled and introduced: "If you come a while earlier, you may have to be excluded. There were only four or five e-sports rooms before, and there are already four guests tonight. Fortunately, the store rearranged the e-sports room some time ago and expanded it."

As he was talking, the doors of the front few rooms opened and the people inside came out one after another.

"Boss Lin, are there new guests?" Cao Yang's room was the first one. When he saw the people behind Lin Yuan, he narrowed his eyes, smiled and greeted them.

Lin Yuan also responded with a smile, and of course did not miss Liu San, Wei Jing, and Chen Qiaoyang behind him.

Of course, what is even more indispensable is...

"Brother Yuan!"

Xiong Wenwen rushed over with tears in her eyes and hugged Lin Yuan's thighs directly. She did it so fast that Lin Yuan couldn't react for a while.

"Brother Yuan! I finally see you. If I don't see you again, I'm afraid I will never see you again!"

This series of tongue-twister-like words made Lin Yuan's head hurt even more, but he still patted Xiong Wenwen's head with relief, "It's okay, I'm always here."

The last time I saw this naughty kid, I realized that he would not live long, otherwise he would not have agreed to go on a blind date with his mother.

Several months have passed now, and Xiong Wenwen has actually survived, and has not undergone any biotech surgery. Although her complexion has become worse, she is still alive after all.

That's a very good thing.

But Xiong Wenwen didn't think so. He stared at Cao Yang with resentment and said, "Xiao Cao is too much. He has been stopping me from coming to see Brother Yuan!"

Lin Yuan looked over.

Cao Yang did not panic, because the headquarters had already analyzed the situation very thoroughly and knew that Lin Yuan did not seem to like Xiong Wenwen very much, but it was a pity that she had to face life and death at such a young age.

Moreover, he was willing to bring Xiong Wenwen here this time, and naturally he was well prepared. "The child has been recuperating recently and it is not suitable for him to go out, so I didn't let him come. But he kept clamoring to come, and there was really no other way. In addition, he was in good spirits these two days, so I brought him here."

That's it!

Lin Yuan suddenly realized that Cao Yang's answer was similar to what he had guessed, so he naturally believed it. "It's getting late. Have a good rest tonight. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

After saying that, he said hello to the others, asked Lao Liu and the other two to choose a room to rest, and then turned around and left.

That action was absolutely swift and decisive!
"Xiong Wenwen, look at you, you even scared the manager." Cao Yang crossed his arms and said with a smile, seeming a little more casual.

Xiong Wenwen gritted his teeth, as if he was about to pounce on Cao Yang and have a fight between a man and a boy.

But he held back, turned around and went back to the room, slamming the door shut, as if venting his dissatisfaction and anger.

"You shouldn't anger him at this time. His strength is what we need." Wei Jing said.

Cao Yang shrugged indifferently, "Don't worry, although he is a child, he still has a sense of the overall situation. I will convince him when the time comes. I didn't expect that tonight would be so lively, and there would be so many people playing games together. The three of you from Taiping Ancient Town, what are you doing here this time?"

"Although we are old, we still have a young heart. After finally getting rid of a layer of shackles, we naturally want to relax. So, here we come." Boss Liu said with a smile.

This is obviously an excuse, and everyone can hear it.

But, who cares?
Chen Qiaoyang didn't care. He was the second one to return to the room and never came out again. It was obvious that this time, he was going to be a lone ranger, just like before.

"We are old, so we should take a rest first."

Boss Liu said something politely, then he found a room with the faceless man and the middle-aged woman respectively, but in the end they entered the same room, obviously wanting to discuss something.

Cao Yang, Wei Jing and Liu San looked at each other and came to Cao Yang's room.

"The store manager is back, and the game is about to start. We don't have much time to communicate now." Cao Yang reminded him, and then said, "The previous virtual games were all based on Taiping Ancient Town. Now that three old men have arrived in Taiping Ancient Town, the background of this game may be changed. The preparations made before may be wasted."

Taiping Ancient Town was used as the game background twice in a row, and there was continuity in the plot.

Cao Yang and his team were not fools, and they would definitely make more preparations for this, especially in terms of information. They even retrieved all the information they could find about Taiping Ancient Town and memorized it all.

Although these materials are not very useful because they involve the paranormal circle, they are better than nothing.

Wei Jing said: "It doesn't matter. Our goal is not only to earn points, but also to collect information. We can only rely on luck to pass the level. We need to find traces of the store manager in the past history. We need to get to know him, understand him, and then decide how to deal with him."

"Of course, and we have found new clues. They are the diaries in the ancestral home of Wang Chaling's family in Dadong City, which contain records of the store manager and the Peace Hotel." Liu San suddenly said, "Could the background of this game be based on the Wang family in Dadong City?"

Cao Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. Now that we can't find any useful information, let's all go back and deal with everything after we enter the game. It's a pity that Zhang Lei, Li Leping and the others didn't come. And I don't know what's going on with Shen Lin. He doesn't want to be involved with the store manager at all."

"Shen Lin's condition is indeed a bit strange, as if he was frightened by something. And according to the news from the headquarters, Shen Lin went to Taiping Ancient Town twice when the virtual game started in Taiping Ancient Town, and then the White Fog Ghost Domain appeared inexplicably." Liu San has a stronger focus on details.

But this situation is not a secret. Instead, it is like a light at night and cannot be ignored.

Wei Jing said: "Perhaps just as the headquarters guessed, when the store manager was playing the virtual game, he was also relying on Shen Lin's power to search for past memories, and then invade the past, so that the dream world we experienced would be so real."

"Let's wait and see this time. The headquarters is already prepared."

Cao Yang waved his hand and asked the last question, "I just don't know if there will be any points reward if I kill them."

silence!

Liu San and Wei Jing looked strange, which made Cao Yang a little embarrassed. "I was just saying it casually."

"I think it's worth a try. After all, points are so hard to come by. It would be a good thing if we could earn extra points. What's more, even if we die in the game, we are not really dead, right?" Liu San said dimly.

Cao Yang glanced at Wei Jing, and seeing that Wei Jing was silent, he didn't say anything else.

The three of them didn't continue chatting and soon returned to their rooms.

Boss Liu was also discussing something. "These young men are the captains of the headquarters. They are quite capable and have very clean backgrounds. We have no conflicts of interest with them, so there is no need to worry. If we really encounter them, we can talk about it later. It is best not to take action."

"Of course. I have no interest in fighting with these young men. I just want to go back and take a look at myself when I was young, and take a look at ..."

The middle-aged woman's expression was depressed, and her eyes were filled with nostalgia and expectation.

The faceless man could not speak, but he stretched out his hand and wrote in the air: "I want to find my face. I need to find it. I also want to know who took it and hid it!"

"In that case, let's all go back to our rooms. I have a feeling the game is about to begin." Boss Liu said.

The middle-aged woman and the faceless man got up and left. As soon as they opened the door, they found that the white fog in the corridor had become thicker and was filling the entire corridor at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was only one or two meters away, but I couldn't see clearly, and an inexplicable panic surged in my heart.

The middle-aged woman's face changed, and she immediately rushed towards the two nearest rooms with the faceless man. The moment they grasped the door handles, the uneasiness and panic in their hearts disappeared instantly, and they calmed down.

Click!

The door opened and the middle-aged woman subconsciously looked inside. It was this glance that made her face change drastically. She twisted her body to try to dodge, but unfortunately her movements were too slow.

A large charred hand rushed out from the door and grabbed her shoulder.

The severe pain made her cry out in pain. The outermost layer of clothes on her bloated body began to twist, and a burning smell emanated from it.

A shrill scream was heard. It was not something a human could make. It sounded more like the howl of a ghost.

And this sound actually came from the burnt clothes on the middle-aged woman. It seemed to come alive, and it took the initiative to separate from the middle-aged woman and tightly wrapped the burnt hand.

"The game has begun."
