I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 461 God’s Shepherd·Owner of the Manor·Lao Dai
"You are becoming more and more like a ghost now."

Behind the driver's seat of the haunted bus, Lin Bei, wearing a baseball cap, opened his eyes, looked calmly at Lu Zhiwen who was driving, and then his gaze fell on Lu Zhiwen's hands holding the steering wheel.

This hand is no longer a human hand, but a palm covered with wood grain.

Although he was just holding on to the steering wheel, he was able to turn the wheel to make the haunted bus move in the direction he wanted, instead of just stepping on the brakes.

"No wonder Mr. Qin got off the bus. It turns out that you gambled everything you have. But you are deceiving yourself. You waited until the evil ghosts revived to drive the ghost bus, and then traded the power of the store manager through the ghosts to maintain your own state and prevent the evil ghosts from reviving. Aren't you afraid that the power of the store manager will affect you? Are you not afraid now?"

Obviously, Lin Bei was very clear about Lu Zhiwen's methods, and he also knew that Lu Zhiwen's strength was not enough to drive the ghost bus, but he was obviously not clear about the medium and conditions for driving the ghost bus, otherwise he would not have failed to mention the corpse under the driver's seat that needed to be balanced.

Lu Zhiwen said calmly: "When two evils collide, choose the lesser of two evils. In my current situation, it would be difficult to drive this bus without the intervention of the store manager's supernatural power, and this taxi is very useful. By using it, many ghosts can be sent back to where they should go, instead of staying in the world and endangering the world."

Lin Bei nodded. "It is a very good means of transportation that can pick up ghosts and send them to a mysterious place. I don't know who built this ghost bus. It is very creative and scary."

This was not the first time he had taken this bus. On this bus, he had seen many scary and terrifying ghosts, which had caused terrible supernatural events in the outside world.

But no matter how scary and terrifying the ghost is, it will become a good boy once it gets on the ghost bus. The ghost is suppressed, and the instinct to kill is also suppressed.

Such a terrible bus is obviously a man-made product.

Judging from the style of the bus, it is from the Republic of China period. Obviously, the person who built this bus and made it a supernatural object must be even more terrifying and scary.

"The only flaw is that it is impossible to actively control where the ghost gets off the bus, so the ghost may get off at the real platform, causing supernatural events. Fortunately, there is now a platform like the Peace Hotel, where ghosts can be forced to get off the bus and be detained by the manager. But have you ever thought about this: when "He" doesn't want to play the hotel game anymore, and wants to play the game of feeding all mankind, what should we do then?" Lin Bei asked, expressing his biggest concern.

Lu Zhiwen was silent. For a moment, the only sound that could be heard in the car was the roar of the engine.

After a long while, Lu Zhiwen said calmly: "Li Jun, you and some people who are unwilling to enter the Peace Hotel and be contaminated by the white fog ghost domain. There will always be heroes in this world."

"Being a hero? It's not that easy." Lin Bei pressed down his baseball cap and there was no movement, as if he had entered a dream again.

As he fell asleep, the number on the bus sign jumped from 2 to 3.

……

Wang Chaling walked straight past the commemorative coin exchange office along the familiar bluestone path.

Now that he has a huge sum of money, he has no need to go to such a place. This has nothing to do with his worry that his parents' souls will be forcibly taken away.

After passing the fish pond, you will see paper sedan chairs and paper sedan chair bearers parked on the roadside, as well as advertising billboards, and a vegetable greenhouse that has been blocked by a board and has not yet opened for business.

Ok?
Wang Chaling stopped and looked at the path leading to the vegetable greenhouse in surprise. It was originally blocked by a notice board that read "Not Open Yet".

But now, the notice board has been removed.

The road leading to the so-called vegetable greenhouse appeared, but no matter how curious Wang Chaling was, he had no urge to go in and take a look. Instead, under the watchful eyes of the ghost, the starving ghost, and the knocking ghost, he walked into the Peace Hotel.

The store is quite lively.

At this time, there were already some customers eating in the restaurant, all of them having breakfast. Among them were several people he knew - Cao Yang, Wei Jing, Liu San, and Xiong Wenwen.

They also saw Wang Chaling, and then called out, "Captain Wang, come and sit down."

"No, I'm here to see the store manager."

Wang Chaling didn't want to waste time so he looked towards the cashier counter. However, to his surprise, the store manager was nowhere to be seen.

It wasn't He Yuelian standing inside, but Liu Qingqing who should be at the commemorative coin exchange counter.

Where is the store manager?
Wang Cha Ling's eyes swept across the lobby. Apart from some guests, he only saw Xiao An and Xiao Xi busy... Actually, they were not particularly busy.

In the morning, there are the fewest guests in the Peace Hotel.

Including Cao Yang and a few others, there were only six or seven guests. In other words, there were only two or three guests who came in the morning, so it was not too busy at all.

Just then, the cook Tong Qian heard the noise and came out from the kitchen.

"Brother Yuan has gone to the vegetable greenhouse. If you want to find him, then wait. By the way, eat something first. Aren't you hungry coming here so early?" Liu Qingqing asked with a smile.

Her smile was warm and gentle, like looking at a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

It’s already nine o’clock, is it still “early”?
Wang Chaling pretended not to see her look, took out a three-yuan commemorative coin from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Okay, then let's have a bowl of shrimp wonton noodles."

"Okay." Liu Qingqing took the commemorative coin and smiled with satisfaction.

Tong Qian glanced at Wang Chaling in confusion. She always felt that this guy had deliberately sent her away, but she found no evidence, so she could only return to the kitchen.

Fortunately, the ingredients in the store can be exchanged directly, so there is no need to worry about not having the corresponding ingredients.

Tong Qian had never made shrimp wonton noodles before, but she was not worried that what she made would not taste good, because when she got the ingredients and the kitchen utensils, the corresponding cooking method would automatically emerge in her mind.

"If this kind of power were used in reality, I'm afraid all chefs would be at risk of losing their jobs."

Tong Qian thought so, but her hands did not stop moving. Instead, Fang Shiming beside her became idle.

Even if the ingredients were exchanged, they were in a whole form and not processed. Otherwise, he, a small worker, would have been unemployed long ago. How could he have stayed until now?
He is done now, but he still has a set of ghost coffins on his back. His waist is half bent all the time, which makes him very tired. So he sits down whenever he has free time to reduce the pressure on his waist and spine, making him look very vicissitudes of life. "It's more tiring than suppressing ghosts. Perhaps this is the price of being strong. But I chose the road myself. Even if I am suppressed, I will keep going! However, I still have to find a chance to read the follow-up content of the diary to see what flaws "Him" has... Then I can help Him improve it."

Fang Shiming thought righteously like this, full of loyalty to Lin Yuan.

In the lobby, Wang Chaling sat at the table where Cao Yang was sitting. "Where are Boss Liu and his friends? I have something I want to ask them."

Last night, Boss Liu, the faceless man and the middle-aged woman went home with him. When he was taken back to the room by his father when he was a child to receive "fatherly education", Boss Liu also chatted with the Wang family for a while.

Later, the game ended inexplicably.

He didn't have the time to chat with his grandparents for a while, nor did he have the time to explain more about his views on the Wang family bloodline curse, which was a pity.

Moreover, I didn't ask Boss Liu what they talked about.

This information is very important to him.

"They left early in the morning and didn't stay. It seems like they have something to do." Cao Yang shrugged helplessly, and at the same time, he slapped Xiong Wenwen's evil little hand away without looking back. "Be honest. If you continue like this, I won't bring you to the store next time."

Xiong Wenwen bared her teeth and said, "If you don't want to bring me, then don't bring me. There are plenty of people who can bring me here! Do you know that I died last night? I died, I died!!!"

His condition was almost insane.

"Okay, considering you're dead, I'll bring you to play games more often in the future. You'll get used to it after dying a few times. What's the big deal? At worst, I can wait for the manager to come back and let him comfort you." Cao Yang said indifferently, but if you look closely, you can see deep worry in his eyes.

Wei Jing and Liu San, who were standing by, had the same expression.

Wang Chaling was very good at observing facial expressions, so he naturally noticed this. He also noticed that something was wrong with Xiong Wenwen's condition, so he didn't continue asking questions.

"You almost collapsed after dying once in the game? Are you so mentally fragile? You must be blessed by God to be alive today."

Thinking of this, Wang Chaling turned to Xiao An who was carrying wonton noodles and asked, "The store manager went out so early?"

Xiao An looked at him without answering, but did not leave either. They just stared at each other for a while.

After a brief eye contact, Wang Chaling took out a three-yuan commemorative coin from his arms and placed it on the empty plate, while Xiao An naturally put it away.

Seeing this set of procedures, everyone around widened their eyes.

Good guy!
The new version of ghost money worth a ghost was just spent like that?

Moreover, one dares to give and the other dares to receive. Where did this rule come from?
"The boss got up at six in the morning and went straight to the vegetable greenhouse. Cao Yang and the others are here, waiting for the boss to come back." Xiao An put the money in his pocket and turned to leave.

Wang Chaling nodded thoughtfully.

Since he was not avoiding him but treating everyone equally, then he didn't need to worry about anything. It was impossible that the store manager would deliberately avoid him and refuse to repair the contents of his diary for the sake of those banknotes, right?

But when he turned around, he found that Cao Yang and others were staring at him with strange eyes.

He looked down at himself and found nothing wrong, "What's wrong?" "That's life-saving money, and you just gave it away just to ask a question. Where did this rule come from?" Liu San looked curious.

In particular, he noticed that except Xiao An and Xiao Xi who took it for granted, even Liu Qingqing and Tong Qian had expressions of surprise and shock.

Apparently, the Peace Hotel does not have this rule.

How did Wang Cha Ling come up with this idea? As the king's twin, they usually don't say a word. They only speak when asked by the "store manager", and then they only say a few words.

When it comes to Wang Chaling, it really is the case that money makes the world go round. He talks even more than when he was in front of the "store manager"?

"What you're talking about is this. Tipping is just to buy service. I got used to it when I was studying abroad. Is there anything wrong with it?" Wang Chaling said as a matter of course.

"No, as long as you have money." Liu San didn't say anything else.

So this is a rule in foreign countries, it’s really... interesting.

At the same time, in the vegetable greenhouse, the owner of the manor was bending over, respectfully following behind Lin Yuan, inspecting the farm outside the terrifying manor.

Of course, everything here is now based on the "store manager's" understanding, which is an extra-large vegetable greenhouse.

The land is divided into square grids, each of which is planted with different kinds of vegetables, and even fruits such as bananas, apples, grapes, pears, etc.

There is also a scarecrow standing in the center of each vegetable or fruit grid.

"Is there no way for the greenhouse to prevent birds from eating food and fruits?" Lin Yuan suddenly asked.

The owner of the manor nodded, his thoughts turning quickly, and he said carefully: "This greenhouse is too big, and sometimes there will be some gaps, and birds will rush in. If someone watches it every day, the cost will be too high, so using a scarecrow is the most appropriate. If the boss thinks it is not suitable, I will change it immediately."

"No, no, just do it according to your actual situation. As long as it can produce effective results, I have no objection." Lin Yuan shook his head quickly.

This is a fool who donated all his wealth for free... ahem, he is a good person.

How could he bear to blame the other party again?
After coming to inspect this morning, he felt that the manor owner's arrangements were very good, everything was in order, and the gardeners in the manor were all very hard-working and enthusiastic about their jobs.

Obviously.

Whether in the employment system or in the planting technology, the owner of the manor is already very mature. If he intervenes again, it would be like an amateur directing experts, and unnecessary problems would most likely arise.

But, are there really free pie in the sky?

"Old Dai, tell me, have you offended anyone? If I can solve it, I can help you. Otherwise, I feel bad for you to give away your wealth like this."

Lin Yuan looked at the manor owner seriously and said sincerely.

Not to him.

The more perfect the vegetable greenhouse was, the more worried he became. If the owner of the manor really got in trouble with someone he couldn't afford to offend, not only would he not get any benefits, but his business would also be affected. That would be a loss.

The owner of the manor shook his head. "Don't worry, boss. It's nothing. If I have to say anything, it's probably because I didn't sleep well last night and had a bad dream."

Last night he accidentally got into a fight with a few guys staying at the Peace Hotel, and the fight was quite exhausting for him, and he even felt a little aggrieved.

Fortunately in the end.

He was able to bring down the mysterious place of Horror Manor, which prevented him from being defeated. Otherwise, he might not have been able to come back here.

That is an extremely real world. If he really died there, he might suffer great harm in reality.

Before this, he had been in the landlord's apartment persuading the landlord to come to the Peace Hotel for consumption, and had no idea about the situation in the e-sports room and virtual games, so he still didn't know what happened last night.

The only thing he was sure of was.

The situation last night was definitely related to him. It was he who made himself appear in that real world.

Otherwise, how could anyone in this world bypass his supernatural power and pull himself into an unknown world?
But the more this happened, the less he could ask.

"He must have a deep meaning in doing this. As his sheepdog, what I need to do is to understand his thoughts instead of asking him what orders he gave. Otherwise, what is the meaning of my existence?"

Seeing that the owner of the manor was so determined, Lin Yuan did not ask any more questions. He just patted his shoulder to show his closeness and said, "You are now considered a member of the Peace Hotel. If you have any problems, remember to tell me, okay? As long as it is not illegal and you are right, I will help you."

Although, I may not be able to solve it myself.

As an ordinary person whose consciousness was separated before the time travel, Lin Yuan still maintained the idea of ​​abiding by the law, at least in public.

Whether it is an argument or a fight, you have to be right at least.

After this sentence, a ball of white mist directly penetrated into the manor owner's head, appeared in his mind, and firmly occupied the most core area.

However, facing this strangeness, the manor owner was not afraid, but bent down excitedly, allowing Lin Yuan's hands to be placed in a more comfortable position, "Thank you, boss, I understand."

"Well, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first." Lin Yuan raised the vegetable greenhouse transfer contract in his hand. This was the main purpose of his coming here.

As long as he gets the contract, this vegetable greenhouse will truly belong to him.

The Peace Hotel had a new source of food, green vegetables, which made Lin Yuan very satisfied. However, the manor owner's attitude towards him was too humble, which made him a little worried.

But after thinking about it carefully, "Maybe this is the rule in foreign countries? I have never been abroad before, and I only know a lot through media reports and videos. Maybe employees abroad really treat their bosses like this? The gardeners in the vegetable greenhouse seem to be more exaggerated towards Lao Dai than Lao Dai treats me. So, there should be no problem, right?"

Lin Yuan left, but the owner of the manor had not yet recovered from his excitement.

"This ball of white mist is magical. It can guarantee that my soul is immortal and my consciousness is immortal! I have finally gained God's approval. I can become God's sheepdog and shepherd lambs for God!"

Feeling the mysterious information about the white mist popping up in his mind, the owner of the manor was extremely excited.

As for the fact that once the store manager's supernatural power limit was exceeded, the white mist would no longer be able to protect his consciousness, he automatically ignored it.

In the manor owner's mind, is there anything that can have power greater than that of God?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
In order to gain Lin Yuan's recognition, he had made a lot of efforts before, and even went to great lengths to capture the twins who were also kings and gave them to the "store manager" as slaves, almost for free.

He then rushed to find the landlord, who was not much weaker than himself, and wanted to make all the ghosts in the landlord's apartment become sacrifices to God.

Now, he finally got what he wanted, how could he not be excited and happy?
"No, I haven't done enough now. I need to bring Him more sacrifices, so that I can live up to God's expectations of me, get closer to God, and my soul can ascend to the Kingdom of God after death, and stand by God's side forever!"

"Forget about the landlord. This guy has already entered the Peace Hotel and will sacrifice himself to God one day. There are also the butcher and the warden... There are many sacrifices around them, including themselves, who are all good sacrifices. Oh, and there is also the captain's ghost ship. The sacrifices on it should be even more abundant and richer!"

"But if we want to find the ghost ship, we either need to find the captain or get the ship's chart. This guy is too mysterious, he doesn't look like a human, but more like a real ghost. Forget it, let's talk about it later when we have a chance. Let's tidy up the vegetable greenhouse first."

The owner of the manor gradually calmed down, and at the same time, in his mind, he made a simple career plan for his promotion in front of "God".

“It’s time to work.”

The owner of the manor snorted coldly. His voice was not loud, but it spread strangely and spread throughout the entire horror manor.

Then, the gardeners in the horror manor rushed out one after another. They were all ghost riders who controlled at least one ghost. If they were in the outside world, they would be small leaders who could occupy a certain area.

But in front of the manor owner, they were just hard-working gardeners.

Or, slaves would be more appropriate.

A group of people gathered in front of the manor owner, but no one dared to look up at him. Even the ghost rider who was about to revive and was corroded to the extreme by the supernatural did not dare to show any hostility towards the manor owner.

Because those who did so had already become ghosts, and were restrained by the manor owner's side. They had lost all their intelligence and became the purest... consumables without even any consciousness, helping the manor owner to block supernatural attacks.

However, surprisingly, the manor owner, who used to be extremely terrifying and moody, seemed unusually kind today, and also said something that shocked them:

"I have been recognized by God. From today on, my horror manor will officially serve as a vegetable greenhouse and a place where God supplies food. You all should work hard in the future. As long as you perform well, when I die in the future, I will pray to God to let your souls ascend to the kingdom of God, so that you can always accompany God and enjoy eternal happiness!"

The owner of the manor smiled and mentioned the biggest reward, then pointed to the standard squares of farmland and said, "Now, each person is responsible for one piece, go... and farm!"
