I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 455: Welfare Points Bureau, Wang Family Affairs
"Chen Qiaoyang is quite powerful. Although he doesn't control as many spirits as the manor owner, he has a spirit that controls evil spirits. The spirit that the manor owner relies on as a barrier, as long as Chen Qiaoyang fights hard, it won't have much impact before he dies. And the four ghosts around him are very scary, every one of them."

"The manor owner is not bad either. As one of the top kings, he relies on more than just the number of spirits he controls. The cane in his hand and his body as an alien are both very scary."

"It will take quite a while for these two guys to decide the winner. Let them fight first. No one will die anyway."

The different camps in the game cannot be in a state of crushing each other, otherwise the game will be close to collapse.

of course.

What Lin Yuan needs to build is not a balanced game, but an environment that allows players to continue to be active in the game. This will help him better anchor this era and provide a greater foundation.

This is true for Chenqiao Yang and the owner of the manor.

The same is true for Cao Yang, Liu San, Xiong Wenwen, and Wang Chaling.

Facing the store manager of this era, Cao Yang and his companions had no chance of luck, because they could feel deeply that if they were killed by the store manager of this era, they would also die in reality, and it would not be like dying at the hands of other people or ghosts in the game and being resurrected in reality. The price was just the loss of some spiritual upper limit, which could be made up again.

In addition, they had stayed in the Peace Hotel for a long time. Except for Wang Chaling, they had basically stayed in the Peace Hotel for many nights.

And Wang Chaling is just an ordinary person, and is more susceptible to supernatural influences than ghost riders like Cao Yang.

They had a natural liking for the store manager. With the dual blessing of this liking and deterrence, from Cao Yang to Xiong Wenwen, from Liu San to Cao Yang, several people successively told their experiences with the Peace Hotel and the "store manager" without any concealment.

There was no concealment of the purpose of Cao Yang and his companions playing the virtual game, which was to explore the historical Peace Hotel. The main theme was honesty and candor.

When Wang Chaling heard that this matter was related to his father, his eyes flickered a few times.

He seemed to understand a little bit why he was still affected and even came into this virtual game even though he was not participating in the virtual game.

"In every virtual game, the location of the corresponding place will be covered by your White Fog Ghost Domain, Boss Lin. Now the game location is Dadong City, so the real Dadong City should be covered, so Wang Chaling, you will come to the game."

Cao Yang had a lot to say, including Wang Chaling's guess, which he also pointed out.

The way they addressed Lin Yuan also became the more respectful "you", which was a sign of respect for the real store manager. "We have speculated that the so-called time travel is essentially a form of restart. Boss Lin, you restarted a city for decades and came to that day decades ago, which naturally achieved the so-called time travel. After the game is over, the power of the restart will be taken back, and everything will return to reality."

"From the forty years of reopening in Taiping Ancient Town to the more than sixty years of reopening in Dadong City today. Manager, your power is like that of a god and it makes people awe. But even for a god, it would not be easy to do this. So although we don't want to waste every time you display such great power, we still don't understand why you do this." Liu San's tone was also filled with fanaticism and admiration.

Only if you are a ghost rider and have reached a certain level, and understand the horror and insolubility of restart, can you better understand the incredibleness of e-sports room and virtual games.

Normally, even if it was an untreatable evil spirit, being able to restart for forty minutes or several hours was already an incomprehensible horror.

As ghost riders, there are only a few who can perform personal restart. Even if it is a range restart, it is only a small range and the time will not be too long. Ten minutes at most is already very remarkable.

Cao Yang and Liu San only know the concept of restart and have not yet reached the strength to restart, but they can already be regarded as the top ghost riders of the younger generation.

Can be imagined.

Just like the store manager did, directly restarting a huge city like Dadong City, and directly restarting it for more than 60 years, is a terrifying and incomprehensible thing.

But the store manager did it, and it was obviously very easy.

Usually they keep this kind of thoughts deep in their hearts, and even when facing the "store manager", they will not say even a single word.

Because they knew very well that the "store manager" they were facing was just the part of him that was separated from his own existence, belonging to ordinary people. It had no supernatural influence and was not the complete him.

But it's different now.

Although they were facing the store manager from 53, whose strength was far from the incomprehensible level in reality, he was the real store manager and his existence in the past!

In this way, they will not be able to suppress the excitement in their hearts, as if... they had seen God in the past!

Xiong Wenwen was stunned. It took her a long while to react. She said with a ridiculous look on her face, "Hey, hey, hey! What are you talking about? Why haven't I heard you talk about these things before? Did we really go to the same restaurant?"

The enthusiastic atmosphere was interrupted, and Cao Yang said with disdain: "Besides wanting the store manager to be your stepfather, have you thought about anything else? You have also attended the headquarters meeting more than once, and all these analyses were said at the meeting."

These words made Xiong Wenwen blush.

I have to say that children are really thin-skinned. Even Xiong Wenwen, who has become a super naughty kid, would blush and feel embarrassed at such a time.

After all, Cao Yang wasn't talking nonsense.

The headquarters holds meetings about the Peace Hotel and store managers every day. Although Xiong Wenwen was previously banned from going to the Peace Hotel, he would still attend these meetings whenever he could.

As long as he didn't go to the Peace Hotel, Cao Yanhua and others would not turn him away.

After all, the supernatural powers that Xiong Wenwen controls are very special. If this child can really grow up, it will be of great help in dealing with supernatural events.

But judging from the current situation, this naughty kid is just a naughty kid.

But perhaps it was a desperate idea, Xiong Wenwen shouted: "I want Brother Yuan to be my mother's boyfriend, but I just want his body, but you all, now you say such admiring words, but in the end you all want to drain Brother Yuan and want him to help you deal with supernatural events. Don't think you are any better than me!"

Cao Yang: "..."

Liu San: “…”

Wang Chaling: “…”

Even Lin Yuan felt speechless at this moment. As expected, a naughty child is a naughty child. Once he starts to make a fuss, he will say anything.

There is something wrong with this child's outlook on life.

Otherwise, let Zhang Xianguang come and teach us?
After all, he has been a teacher for decades and has solid professional knowledge. As long as you don't think about causing trouble, you can still use it.

"I understand what you are talking about. In that case, you can go back." Lin Yuan started to drive them away.

Cao Yang was stunned and said quickly: "Manager, you still don't believe us? If it really doesn't work, we can still find a way to prove it..."

Compared to the store manager in real life who has become a god from a human, the store manager in front of him is obviously more human and more like a normal person who can communicate.

If I could influence the store manager in real life through the one in front of me, it would definitely be a very worthwhile thing.

"Xiong Wenwen was right. Your hearts are not pure. You should go back. This era does not belong to you after all. Don't leave this city too far, if what you told me is true."

Lin Yuan's voice gradually became ethereal, and the hotel in front of him began to become hazy and blurred, and endless white fog enveloped everything around.

"Manager? Manager!"

Cao Yang and others called out hurriedly, especially Xiong Wenwen, who ran around like a headless fly, trying to find Lin Yuan's trace.

But how could they find the GM who had already retired?

When the white mist dissipated, they returned to the open space in the suburbs. It was surrounded by towering trees and there was no trace of the Peace Hotel.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"It seems that none of our ideas can be realized. We can only wait for the next virtual game. I hope it can be held in Taiping Town."

The middle-aged woman sighed.

Just now, when Cao Yang and others were communicating with Lin Yuan, they were just listening quietly. No one spoke, but they understood everything.

Lin Yuan, the manager of the Peace Hotel in this era, although he learned about the future and would do something about it, these things were obviously not something he would let them know.

of course.

Lin Yuan's strength is too terrifying. Even in this era, sixty years ago, they still couldn't figure out Lin Yuan's background. Just judging from the buildings around the Peace Hotel, the strength of the store managers of this era is still much worse than that of the store managers in reality.

But even so, it was still beyond their reach.

There is a great possibility that the store manager still does not belong to this era, but extends to a more distant past, perhaps a dozen or twenty years, perhaps forty years, or perhaps another sixty years.

But these don’t mean much to them, and they never care about this matter.

Boss Liu also felt a little regretful. He wanted to go abroad with Mr. Wang and Mr. Lu and have a good time interacting with those strange people there.

If it can enhance our country's prestige, that would be great.

But now?
The faceless man felt even more regretful. He touched his face which was as smooth as a wall. He seemed to have lost a lot of energy and became listless.

"It's all your fault. I told you to talk nonsense, and now Brother Yuan has run away!" Xiong Wenwen was angry and started to act like a child towards Cao Yang and Liu San.

Wang Chaling immediately moved away.

There was nothing he could do. He was just an ordinary person. If he was really hit by Xiong Wenwen's punches, he might vomit blood.

Now, he missed the days when he had the protection of his grandparents, parents, and at least he wouldn't be as weak as he is now. "Enough!"

Cao Yang lifted the back of Xiong Wenwen's neck again. As a frequent eater at the Peace Hotel, his strength had improved a lot compared to when he first arrived at the restaurant. But the gap between him and this naughty kid who only knew how to pull strings for his mother and had no idea how to use the resources of the Peace Hotel was incomprehensible.

This made Xiong Wenwen calm down.

"In any case, at least one thing has been confirmed here. The Peace Hotel and its manager did exist this year, and the timeline of their actual appearance has to move forward a long time. Our purpose in the game has been partially accomplished. Next, let's hunt those foreign ghost riders. We can't leave this city too far, so all we can get are points." Cao Yang said.

Liu San nodded, "I don't know how many people Wei Jing has killed now. He may have grown to an extremely terrifying level. As long as he doesn't show up..."

As he said this, he glanced at Boss Liu and his companions.

Boss Liu smiled and said, "Don't look at us. If it's a ghost messenger, we have no way to fight it."

But if it is some other supernatural thing, it’s hard to say.

Liu San understood what he meant, but he didn't care. "There are many foreign ghost riders near this city. They are suspected to be here to hunt down this generation of Wang family members. Their strengths vary, and they will be our targets. If you also want to hunt them, we can compete fairly. After all, there are quite a few of them."

"No, we still have some things to talk to Lao Wang and others about." Boss Liu shook his head and refused.

They had heard He Yiner mention the points-based model of virtual games, but they were not interested in it. On the contrary, what they wanted to pursue could not be obtained through killing.

The Wang and Lu family of this era are definitely not unknown people in the supernatural circle, and they are likely to be among the top ones.

Rather than being able to exchange points for other people's supernatural powers, since they were unable to go to their own destination, they could only try to get some information from Lao Wang.

"Wait, I wish I could go with you guys."

Wang Chaling suddenly called them over, and then said to Cao Yang and Liu San: "Thank you for the journey. I will hold a banquet in Dadong City after I return. I hope you two can come and show us your presence."

His attitude is very polite.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely feel like he was basking in the spring breeze. This was Wang Cha Ling's temperament and upbringing. However, it felt very awkward to Cao Yang and Liu San.

But...what about Dadong City?

"it is good."

"Definitely arriving."

The next few virtual games will most likely be centered around Dadong City, or in other words, around the contents of Wang Lu’s diary. In this case, they will need to come to Dadong City to learn some things.

"Let's go, don't waste time. We finally have a chance to score points, as long as we don't run into that scary guy at the beginning." Cao Yang said.

Liu San nodded without saying anything, but there was obvious joy in his eyes and brows.

Cao Yang was stunned when he saw this, and he didn't react for a while. Xiong Wenwen, who was held in the air by Cao Yang, cursed angrily: "Idiot! Xiao Liu has paper figures, and those paper figures are already killing people. You are still standing here stupidly, wasting points!"

"What? Old Liu, you actually ran away!" Cao Yang widened his eyes.

Liu San turned his head away, but his attitude was very clear: What can you do? !

Cao Yang naturally couldn't do anything, since he didn't have the same ability as Liu San. He could only carry Xiong Wenwen and run away to look for any living foreign ghost riders nearby.

Just like he said just now, this is a bonus copy!
Although there are many foreign ghost riders, and some of them are scary, there are more of them are ordinary ghost riders. When they don't care about their own lives and don't worry about the revival of evil spirits, those guys are simply walking points. How can they be let go?

At the same time, Boss Liu and his party, along with Wang Chaling, also entered Dadong City.

The Dadong City of this era was still prosperous, but compared with modern times, it was obviously much older, and the style of the previous era was everywhere.

Wang Chaling was originally full of confidence and wanted to lead the way and take Boss Liu and his party to the Wang family's ancestral home.

In his memory, that was the house where his grandparents lived, the starting point of the Wang family bloodline curse, and his childhood home that he would never forget.

However, looking at the completely unfamiliar streets around him, Wang Chaling fell silent.

"This kid who his dad calls uncle, has really forgotten his own home?" The middle-aged woman tugged at her clothes with a sarcastic look on her face.

She was furious because she was attacked right after entering the game.

Even though a number of foreign attackers were killed later, which was considered revenge, those foreign attackers were all silent like mutes, and there was no sense of satisfaction from revenge at all.

The pressure from Mr. Wang and Mr. Lu was too great for her, so she didn't dare to confront them head-on.

Not to mention when we were at the Peace Hotel, we absolutely dared not breathe loudly.

Now that he has encountered a weak target and has enough excuses, he will naturally not be polite.

Wang Chaling was good at cultivating his Qi. Although he was annoyed, his face did not show any sign of breaking. He said calmly, "Dada City has changed a lot in the past sixty years. The old city has been renovated, and many houses and roads have been changed. It's normal that you can't find the way for a while. But you just need to find a direction. I was panicking just now."

As he spoke, he stopped a passerby and asked about the location of the ancestral home, and the man actually told him the location.

Boss Liu was very surprised, "It seems that your Wang family is very famous here."

"That should be the case, but my ancestral home is also located in the most luxurious location in Dadong City. Anyone who knows a little bit about it will know the location."

So just now, he specifically found someone wearing a suit.

Although the suits of this era are very old-fashioned in the eyes of modern people, being able to afford a suit in this era also proves that he at least has some strength and financial resources, and has the energy to pay attention to more luxurious things.

Otherwise, some street vendors might not know.

Following the directions, Wang Chaling quickly found the road in his memory. Even though this area was later renovated, the general framework was not changed. Instead, the original flavor was retained as much as possible. In the end, it became a past memory of Dadong City and a must-visit place for many sightseeing tours.

But in this era, this is still a private place, and people come and go in cars, wearing suits and checkered shoes, which is very different from the shorts and sweatshirts seen before.

The gap between the rich and the poor began to emerge in an instant.

Soon everyone arrived in front of the Wang family's ancestral home. Before they could knock on the door, Xiao Wang trotted out of the house and said with a smile: "Boss Liu, and Uncle Wang, please come in. Mom and Dad are waiting for you."

Boss Liu and the middle-aged woman both looked at Wang Chaling with strange eyes.

Even the faceless man without eyes turned his head towards Wang Chaling.

Wang Chaling suddenly felt some pain in his buttocks and said quickly, "Don't call me uncle."

"Ah? What is that called?" Xiao Wang tilted his head in confusion, his eyes full of confusion.

Wang Chaling's heart was twisted: Dad was so cute when he was a child, and he actually asked me what to call him with this expression, and I didn't call him... Bah! I...

Even with Wang Chaling's shrewdness, his mansion was in great disarray at this moment.

Just like when Xiao Wang called him uncle when they first met, otherwise he would have confessed to Lao Wang and Lao Lu and followed them. Why would he put himself in danger?
If it weren't for Cao Yang and his gang who met him first, he would have been found by a group of foreign ghost riders. He would have died without knowing how he died.

After all, he looks very similar to Lao Wang.

"Come inside first. We all have something to discuss with Lao Wang." After all, Boss Liu's family owns a hotel, and he believes in making money through harmony.

Wang Chaling's help might be needed later, so he stepped forward to smooth things over.

Xiao Wang nodded, "Okay, then follow me in."

Wang Chaling breathed a sigh of relief and gave Boss Liu a look of gratitude. Then the group entered behind the iron gate.

The royal ancestral home of this era was not as dilapidated as it is in reality. Although there were no servants to take care of it, one could feel everywhere that it had been carefully maintained.

Wang Chaling looks at history, the past, and his emotions.

What Boss Liu and his companions saw was the strong sense of threat and the faint stench of corpse in the air.

As veterans in the paranormal circle, they naturally would not think that the Wang family had killed someone and hidden the body, but they knew clearly that there was an evil ghost nearby.

Old Wang’s family has at least one ghost guarding the house?
It seems...it's not incomprehensible.

Walking into the lobby, Wang Chaling looked around with a complicated expression. This place was different from reality. It had a lively atmosphere and there were sofas. Next to the sofas was a dial-up telephone of that era. Oil paintings were hung on the surrounding walls. It was obvious that this was a wealthy family.

"Are you all here? Please sit down. And my friend, now you can tell me your background. Which branch are you from?" Old Wang looked at Wang Chaling with a puzzled look.

When he encountered it in the wild, he had doubts in his mind.

Moreover… glancing at the helpless Old Lu beside him, Old Wang sighed secretly, “If this matter cannot be explained clearly, I will have nowhere to sleep at night.”
