Chapter 462: Horror Manor Profit Project, Optimizing Points Mall?

At the manor owner's order, all the gardeners picked up their tools.

The ghost riders who, in real life, would take people's lives at will and not take human lives seriously, have now completed the transformation of their identities and occupations. They are holding various tools and using their physical strength to work in their homes.

With the white fog ghost domain there, their supernatural powers cannot be used at all, and everyone seems to have returned to the time when they were ordinary people.

But after a short while, some people were already exhausted and out of breath.

However, under the gaze of the manor owner, no one dared to stop. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they could only grit their teeth and persevere, not daring to relax at all.

The owner of the manor watched all this and murmured, "These guys have too little physical strength. They need to exercise more. How can they satisfy the gods if they are like this when doing farm work? I'm afraid they are not even qualified to be sacrifices. What a bunch of rubbish."

It turned out that he also had his thoughts on these gardeners.

As long as the quality is up to standard, he will regard it as a sacrifice to "God". This kind of human sacrifice is not a rare thing in the place where the manor owner is.

Or.

In the eyes of people like the manor owner, there are only three levels in the world. One is the God who is high above and accepts offerings from all things. One is people like him who are sheepdogs chosen by God to help God shepherd the lambs in the world. The last one is the lamb being shepherded.

Except for God and the shepherd dog, everything else is a lamb and can be offered as a sacrifice.

people?
what is that?
Now, the only people he regards as his peers are the employees in the Peace Hotel. In his heart, they are all sheepdogs like him.

(Fang Shiming, Tong Qian, Liu Qingqing, He Yuelian, He Yiner, Guo Fan, Wang Xiaoming, etc.:???)
"They have been with God's human body longer than I have. If I want to surpass them and become God's favorite sheepdog, I still have to work harder. Apart from me, no one is qualified to be so close to God!"

"Not enough manpower?"

The voice in his ear made the manor owner's face change.

The originally stern and cold face instantly turned into a smile, and the straight back also bent down, looking behind him with a flattering smile.

Sure enough, he saw Lin Yuan with a curious look on his face.

Without asking why Lin Yuan suddenly came back, the owner of the manor followed Lin Yuan's words and said, "These gardeners are a little short. I plan to recruit a group of people to avoid delaying the farm work."

Lin Yuan waved his hand, "No, no, I came back suddenly just to discuss this matter with you."

He was almost returning to the Peace Hotel just now, but when he passed the fork in the road, he suddenly turned back, just for this matter.

"This vegetable greenhouse is very big, and there are a lot of crops and fruits inside. I was thinking about whether we could set up a paid picking project, that is, to collect money and let guests come to the greenhouse to pick vegetables and fruits by themselves. Of course, the specific fee is to charge a certain fee, and people can pick whatever they want to take away. It is still free to enter, but the vegetables and fruits picked must be charged according to the quantity, which is something to consider later. What do you think?"

This is what Lin Yuan just thought of, and he also referred to some orchards he saw before traveling through time, which charged people to pick fruits.

Before the time travel, this kind of project seemed to have a lot of consumers. In that case, he might as well give it a try. It didn't matter whether it was profitable or not, after all, there was no cost.

Da He, don’t you agree?
(Beside the fish pond, He Yiner, who was in a daze, suddenly sneezed, and then was confused, "Why did I sneeze? Could it be that here, in addition to losing my supernatural powers and becoming an ordinary person, I can also get sick like ordinary people? Then, my salary, can't be used for me to buy medicine from Zhang Bohua or Wang Xiaoming? This is too deceptive!!!")
"Okay, of course! Let me have someone plan out a few plots of land, or see how many people are involved in this project. If there are many, then all the land will be used for the project."

The owner of the manor naturally obeyed Lin Yuan in every way. While speaking, he also glanced at the busy gardeners and thought to himself:

At that time, these gardeners will be of no use. Either the contents of their bodies will be offered as sacrifices to the gods, or they will be sent away and more sacrifices will be brought back.

"Okay, let's talk about it based on the specific situation. I'll hold a meeting to consider this matter after I get back. So, when there are fewer customers later, I'll have someone notify you and you can come to the meeting as well. After all, you're the person in charge here."

Lin Yuan made a decision and left contentedly.

When he walked into the gate of the Peace Hotel, he was still humming an unknown tune, and his return instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

"Boss/Brother Yuan, are you back?"

Cao Yang, Wang Chaling and others stood up, looking delighted, and it was obvious that they all had something to ask Lin Yuan.

But the most enthusiastic one was Xiong Wenwen. The child seemed to have forgotten that the "store manager" was probably at least his grandfather's generation or his mother's father's generation, and still jumped up happily.

If this had happened a few months ago, Lin Yuan would not have stopped Xiong Wenwen. It was his last act of kindness towards a dying child, including the blind date with his mother.

But now?

Several months have passed, but Xiong Wenwen is still alive and well, which shows that modern medical technology is advanced enough to prolong Xiong Wenwen's life.

Without the halo and debuff of "dying man", Xiong Wenwen naturally no longer received any special treatment from Lin Yuan.

Even the free standard for children is not met.

Cao Yang keenly noticed this change. Although he was not sure, he had just ignored Xiong Wenwen's actions and let him pounce on Lin Yuan. Now he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xiong Wenwen's collar before he pounced on Lin Yuan. At the same time, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Yuan, this child gets impulsive when he sees you."

impulse?

Lin Yuan said unhappily: "If you can talk, then talk more."

Cao Yang chuckled twice, turned his head and growled at Xiong Wenwen who was still struggling and shouting, "Be quiet, don't you see that Brother Yuan doesn't like this kind of noise?"

Xiong Wenwen immediately quieted down, not because she was afraid of Cao Yang, but because she didn't want to anger Lin Yuan.

Seeing that Lin Yuan indeed had an irritated expression on his face, Xiong Wenwen immediately behaved well, but looking at his big rolling eyes, he must have other thoughts and ideas in his mind.

Cao Yang didn't mind what he was thinking, as long as it didn't affect him now.

"Brother Yuan, this is it. We all got a lot of points in the game last night, so we came to the points mall to buy some things and see if there are any new cards on the shelves."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "So that's what it is. Okay, come and take a look, but there is one thing I want to make clear to you in advance. This time the game production team has made some adjustments to the points mall, making it more reasonable. Don't say I didn't tell you in advance."

What?
Has the points mall been adjusted?

When Cao Yang heard this, his heart sank.

Not only him, Liu San's face also became stiff instantly, which made Wei Jing beside him very confused, "What's wrong with you? Is there any problem with the adjustment of the points mall?"

"Old Wei, you are a poor man who has no childhood." Liu San patted Wei Jing's shoulder with pity, but suddenly felt that knowing so much was not a good thing.

Wei Jing frowned, but his personality prevented him from asking more questions. He would know the details soon anyway.

But Wang Chaling was equally curious.

Anyway, the "store manager" has already appeared, so he doesn't have to worry about his diary disappearing. Instead, he is very interested in this virtual game.

The main reason is that he was forced to enter the virtual game last night, and judging from the situation, many plots of this virtual game will take place in his own Dadong City.

He naturally wanted to understand more clearly, "Old Liu, please tell me in detail."

Liu San glanced at Wang Chaling. Although he didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was looking at the poor wretch who had no childhood. Fortunately, he didn't have the habit of keeping people in suspense, and whispered, "We are all young people. We have all played online games. Have you found out... Never mind, just say it directly. When there is a conflict between the currency system and the preciousness of items, the official will make an adjustment, and this kind of adjustment has never been really good for the players. Don't forget, we just passed a welfare level. Everyone killed countless foreign ghost riders. One ghost rider is 5 points, and twenty ghost riders are 100 points."

"Think about the prices of cards in the Points Mall. The most expensive card, Endless Cemetery Luo Qian, only costs 40 points. You should know how powerful Luo Qian is. Such a powerful card should be considered a high-level card in the game. It is quite rare, so it should be very difficult to redeem it. We have proved this in the previous games. It is very difficult to accumulate 40 points."

"But this time, each of us is guaranteed to have 100 points, which is a big problem for the balance of the game. It will cause high-level cards like Endless Cemetery Luo Qian to flood the market, which is not conducive to the life and balance of the game. So this time, I guess the so-called adjustment is actually to increase the price of the cards, so that we need to play more games to get such cards."

Liu San's analysis finally made Wei Jing understand, but he still had a question, "Why not reduce our points?"

"The points have already gone into the pockets of us players. If we really have to pay them out again, it might cause dissatisfaction among the players. Raising prices can achieve the same effect, and it can be done in the name of optimizing the game, which is naturally easier. In short, it's inflation." Liu San glanced at Wei Jing with disdain, but he noticed that Wang Chaling's face looked a little strange, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

Wang Chaling pursed her lips and didn't want to speak.

"He doesn't have any points at all. Why are you analyzing so much? Are you upset?" Xiong Wenwen chuckled at the side, as if he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.

Liu San glanced at him and said faintly, "Old Wang doesn't have it, do you have it?"

Xiong Wenwen: "..."

In the silent gaze, Xiong Wenwen's face gradually turned red, but this was not shyness or embarrassment, but a kind of redness that was about to become noisy...

"According to the agreement before entering the game, the three of us will give you a quarter of the points. You don't have to worry about this." Liu San said quickly.

Xiong Wenwen sneered and said, "You don't have to give it to me." After that, he trotted up behind Lin Yuan, looking like a follower.

"It seems that this naughty kid still hasn't given up the idea of ​​introducing the store manager to his mother. Does this kid really want to be the young manager of the Peace Hotel?" Wei Jing sighed.

Since entering the Peace Hotel, he seemed to sigh more and more.

Liu San crossed his arms and said with a smile, "There's a saying that goes, age is not a gap, height is not a problem, only true love is invincible! Maybe with the encouragement of this naughty kid, his mother can really get married with the store manager? If that's the case, it may not be a bad thing."

"You should have seen Liu Qingqing's expression."

Wang Chaling suddenly reminded everyone, and everyone immediately looked over. They saw that although Liu Qingqing was smiling, her eyes when she looked at Xiong Wenwen were filled with undisguised murderous intent.

Wei Jing said solemnly: "We need to arrange more people to protect Xiong Wenwen in the future."

"Yes, since Liu Qingqing joined the Peace Hotel, she has jumped from an ordinary person to a top ghost rider and caught up with us directly. It's really scary. If she wants to find an opportunity to kill Xiong Wenwen, it would be too dangerous. Sure enough, love is too dangerous and not suitable for me." Liu San said seriously.

Wang Chaling glanced at him and said nothing.

Liu San noticed it and asked, "You seem to want to complain about something?"

"There are indeed a lot of things I want to complain about. For example, your self-praise, and the fact that you have so many paper dolls after you started dating. Can your girlfriend handle it? For example... forget it, you guys should go and do your work first. I also have things to do later."

Wang Chaling ignored Liu San's stunned expression and walked to the cashier counter.

It’s not that he was worried that Liu San would challenge him in a duel. He was accompanied by a tiger transformed from the souls of his parents, so he was not afraid of being attacked at all.

He just didn't believe it. In this day and age, who could train themselves to be like Wu Song?
Even if it's Wu Song, he can only beat one tiger. Do you want him to try beating a male and a female tiger?

At this time, Lin Yuan had already turned on the computer, and there was a screen facing outward, which was placed next to the wish-making lucky cat that was constantly waving, making it very convenient to look at.

The computer screen has lit up, and on it is this time's points ranking list:
【Virtual game points ranking list:

1. Chen Qiaoyang: 215 points.

2. Cao Yang: 152 points.

3. Liu San: 130 points.

4. Wei Jing: 40 points.

5. Zhang Lei: 25 points. 】

Looking at the points above, Cao Yang didn't know how to complain for a moment, but he, Liu San, and Xiong Wenwen all looked at Wei Jing.

Xiong Wenwen was the most fearless and asked directly, "Xiao Wei... er! Lao Wei, you went on a solo trip, and this is the result?"

That look of disdain made Wei Jing's chest heave.

You have to know that he is the ghost catcher Wei Jing, who possesses the terrifying supernatural power to suppress evil spirits mindlessly. Whether among the captains in front of him or among the twelve captains in total, his strength ranks among the top three.

Moreover, this is under the premise that his supernatural powers are restricted and he cannot rely on suppressing evil spirits to increase the number of suppression places like a real ghost catcher.

This is also the reason why he wanted to face the attacker alone in the game.

It was because he had absolute confidence in his own abilities, and also because he was worried that if he acted together with Cao Yang, Liu San and others, he would earn all the points by himself.

But now?

Apart from Zhang Lei, who was dealing with a supernatural incident and did not have time to come last night, his points were actually the lowest, and he was completely one level lower, 90 points less than Liu San who was ranked third, which is the number of 18 ghost riders.

Thinking back to when he was just an ordinary person.

In the military competition, he was also among the top ranked. How could he be left so far behind by his teammates when he had an absolute advantage?

The only one who has no offensive power is the auxiliary Xiong Wenwen, who has no points at all, so she is not on the list.

Could it be that he has fallen to the point where he has to compete with Xiong Wenwen?
However, what is the reason?
Wei Jing tried to recall it carefully, but he just couldn't remember it.

He only remembered that after separating from Cao Yang and others, he fought against the guy who attacked them at the beginning, but in the end he did not get a definite result.

Then, he lost consciousness.

So these 40 points... No, he only had 10 points left after the last game ended. That means he killed 6 ghost riders after he lost consciousness?
what's going on?
"Chen Qiaoyang has a lot of points. This is his first time entering the game, and he actually got such a high score?" Cao Yang changed the subject.

In fact, last night's game ended inexplicably.

Because the "store manager" was away, they also communicated in advance, especially Cao Yang and Liu San, the two players who survived to the end.

After the horror manor fell, they were dragged into an unknown haunted place, and then... before they even found the owner of the manor, the result was already over.

Including Chen Qiaoyang, they didn't know whether he defeated the manor owner in the end or was killed by the manor owner.

But the game was over, and they had no intention of delving into it any further - that was the job of the logistics department at the headquarters. What they had to do now was to measure the points they had earned and see how much value they had.

On the contrary, he was very interested in Chen Qiaoyang.

"This score should be normal. Boss Lin's game will not have such a bug. Don't forget, when we met him in the game, he already brought thirty or forty foreign ghost riders with him. So, 43 kills is about the same number." Wei Jing said as he shook his head slightly at Cao Yang.

Cao Yang reacted immediately and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, don't get me wrong. I don't doubt the fairness of the game. I just think that Chen Qiaoyang is too powerful, so I am a little surprised."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that stingy (I'd say so). But Lao Chen is indeed quite capable and a master of games. It would be more fun to play games with more players in the future, don't you think?"

Since the “store manager” said so, what can Cao Yang and the others do?
After some sympathetic small talk, Cao Yang quickly asked, "Brother Yuan, can we take a look at the Points Mall now? Are there any cards in it?"

"There are new cards, but the previous cards have also been optimized. You can take a look, but don't say I'm trying to cheat you." Lin Yuan said with a smile, without stopping his hands' movements. Soon changes appeared on the computer screen in front of Cao Yang and the others.

From the points ranking list, it jumped to the position of the surrounding malls in the points mall.

Just like what Lin Yuan said before, there are indeed more than three cards in the surrounding mall, but the number has not increased too much, only two cards have been added.

The first card shows a city background from an early period. If it were in the past, Cao Yang and others would not have been able to recognize it, but now they can recognize it at a glance.

That was Dadong City in the 53s, or to be exact, Dadong City in July 7.

This background occupies the entire card, and in the center of the card is a middle-aged couple holding hands, looking calmly ahead.

When Cao Yang and others saw this card, they actually had the illusion that the person in the card came alive and was looking at them.

But, how is this possible!

This is the picture on the computer screen, and they also know this couple, they are Lao Wang and Lao Lu who did not want to reveal their names in the virtual game last night.

That is Wang Chaling’s grandparents!

Wang Cha Ling naturally recognized it as well. His hands were clasped tightly, his nails had dug into the flesh, oozing with blood, but he seemed unaware. He just stared at the card. No one knew what he was thinking, but his breathing was obviously heavier.

"Boss Lin, can I come and play games tonight? Is there any room?" Wang Chaling asked through gritted teeth.

Although Lin Yuan didn't quite understand the reason, he still answered cheerfully: "Of course, our store welcomes any friend who comes to play games."

But Cao Yang pulled Wang Chaling aside and whispered, "I know what you're thinking, but I need to remind you that it's useless for you to play games. At least..."

"Cao Yang! Do you want to fight me to the death?" Wang Chaling interrupted Cao Yang, his bloodshot eyes proving that he was not bluffing.

If Cao Yang prevents him from entering the game again, he will definitely regard Cao Yang as his enemy, and a mortal enemy!

Liu San and Wei Jing came over and stood on Cao Yang's left and right. "You should be calm. Cao Yang is helping you. You are a normal person, but your self-control is not as good as those of us who have been corrupted by the spirits?"
