Chapter 476 Customized Game Background, Adventurer System

"It's just a customization of a direction. Boss Lin, tell me how much it will cost. If it's suitable, then we want to try a game with our hometown as the background tonight."

Boss Liu knew what Lin Yuan meant, after all, his family also ran a hotel.

As a store owner, as long as it is within your ability, or as long as it can be negotiated and not rejected outright, it just depends on whether the price is high enough.

Seeing Boss Liu being so understanding, Lin Yuan was naturally very happy. Just as he was communicating with the "golden finger" in his mind, he heard Cao Yang's displeasure, "Boss Liu, isn't this a bit inappropriate? This game is for everyone to play together. Just because of your own preferences, you want everyone to play with you?"

The past of Taiping Ancient Town does have some value, but not much.

At most, the cause of the ghost lake is a secret that can be discovered, but it is obvious that this secret is not as important as imagined.

Especially after confirming that the "store manager" has little relationship with Taiping Ancient Town, it would be a waste to spend money to "travel through time" to Taiping Ancient Town.

In comparison, it is obvious that Wang Chaling's father Wang Lu has a closer relationship with the "store manager".

The virtual game with Dadong City as the background would obviously help them understand the past of the "store manager". Moreover, the prices in the points mall were raised so high now. If Boss Liu really wanted to do this, could they just go home tonight?

A foreign ghost rider has arrived. Although he is a king, if he really goes to the home turf of Taiping Ancient Town, he should be no match for the older generation.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there are really some things that need to be confirmed in the past. Especially my brother, he really needs to go back to find some things." Boss Liu is a businessman, and naturally believes in making money through harmony.

He also knew that what he did was indeed offensive, but the Faceless Man was almost obsessed with his lost face.

In the past few decades, although the Faceless Man has been searching for his own face, in fact, even he himself has become desperate and accepted the outcome that he cannot find that face.

But after the emergence of virtual games, he saw hope.

When people who are already in despair see a glimmer of hope, they will grab it at all costs and do not want to let go, nor do they want to delay it any longer.

There was no way last time. No one knew that the virtual game suddenly changed the game background after using Taiping Ancient Town as the background twice in a row.

But it's different now.

Having been prepared in advance, he didn't want to wait any longer, but he didn't act too forceful. He couldn't speak, and was worried that Cao Yang and the others couldn't understand the sign language, so he followed Boss Liu in bowing and not being too polite.

Because of them, He Yiner had not left work today, but she was just watching from the side, pursing her lips. She was obviously worried, but she did not say a word. She did not ask Cao Yang and others to compromise as an employee of the Peace Hotel, or as the captain of the headquarters.

And her attitude also made Lin Yuan very satisfied. This was the good employee he needed!

"Brother Yuan, how about this? Since Boss Liu and his friends want to play a game with Taiping Ancient Town as the background, let them play it. We will proceed as normal. How about that?"

For the sake of He Yiner, and the attitudes of Boss Liu and the faceless man, Cao Yang discussed with Wei Jing and the others and then made a decision.

Before Lin Yuan could answer, Nie Yingping on the side was unhappy, "What do you mean by normal situation? I think that since Boss Liu has spent more money, he should just play along. It's just playing games, how can it not be playing?"

Cao Yang, Wei Jing and others looked over, but Nie Yingping didn't care at all. Instead, he showed a provocative smile.

Yes, he did it on purpose!
Back then in Shuangqiao Town, the winner had not yet been decided. Today, Zhang Xianguang called him over to play some virtual game. Before entering the game, he had a chance to disgust Cao Yang and others, and he would not waste this opportunity.

Although I am not clear about the specific situation, I will definitely not go wrong if I firmly oppose what the enemy wants!

Nie Yingping took a look and shouted, "How dare you glare at me?"

Then add some more ingredients!

"Look at Boss Liu and his gang. They always talk about money when they ask the boss for something. That's the attitude of a business person. But you guys, you're not relying on your so-called connections to get something for free, are you?"

Nie Yingping was firing on all cylinders, mocking non-stop.

Anyway, he had already heard it when Zhang Xianguang called him over. They were just going to take a look in the game this time and didn't have too many goals, so it didn't matter what year the background was.

The most important thing is to confirm the nature of this so-called virtual game and whether it can really travel back to decades ago.

So, now he just wants to put some icy pressure on Cao Yang and others!
Cao Yang and his companions secretly resented Nie Yingping, but they had to admit that what Nie Yingping said made sense. If they really wanted to use up their good relationship with the "store manager" for this matter, that would be the most unprofitable thing to do.

But the problem is that they don’t have many resources, otherwise they wouldn’t choose to play the virtual game again a day later. In fact, if Cao Yang hadn’t discovered that the landlord, a foreigner, wanted to play a virtual game, Wei Jing and the others wouldn’t have come today.

What about the “store manager”?

He just stood there and watched everyone arguing with a smile on his face, not intending to say anything. It was obvious that he was very happy to see this situation. In other words, their so-called relationship and affection were still not as important as the business in the eyes of the "store manager".

This is certainly true.

The relationship between Lin Yuan and Cao Yang and others was originally based on interests, and developing the Peace Hotel was the most important goal in the mind of the "store manager".

What is your relationship with Cao Yang and others?

If Cao Yang cannot bring him benefits and income, and even requires the "store manager" to pay for resources, it is estimated that their status in the Peace Hotel will also change.

I will no longer be a guest, but like those ghost riders who ate a free meal, the ghosts in their bodies will be taken away...

"Look at what you said. Business is business and relationships are relationships. How can we not understand this? Brother Yuan, just tell us how much money you need. As long as the price is right, we won't bargain." Zhou Deng, a real rich man, was wealthy and powerful. He waved his hand and took over the topic directly.

At this moment, he felt that he was shining brightly, and the reason why he had not been able to catch any fish in the fish pond before was definitely not because of his bad face.

Cao Yang, Wei Jing, Liu San and Zhang Lei did not refuse either.

I'm grateful to Zhou Deng for his kindness this time, and I'll return the favor next time.

In fact, to them, a few ghosts are just a few precious resources. With their strength, it is not difficult to deal with some supernatural events. It just takes time.

One day is not enough for them to imprison at least four ghosts, so this game naturally cannot be played every day.

Next.

We still need to work harder.

Lin Yuan was very happy to see all this. Normal competition was quite beneficial to him as a boss, but he was a little hesitant when making an offer.

I'm not willing to accept that it's too little.

If the price opens too high, it will easily discourage everyone.

Fortunately, "Gold Finger" gave a reference price. Lin Yuan added three dollars to this price as a handling fee. "Let's make nine dollars. How about the price for customizing the game background?"

Zhou Deng naturally had no objection. He was a real rich man now. It was only nine dollars. It would at most make him feel a little pain, but definitely not a second time.

However, Cao Yang proposed an idea at this time, "Brother Yuan, this custom game refers to the location and time of the game content, right?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Of course it is like that."

"Then if we and Boss Liu choose the same time period, but in different city backgrounds, can the two game scenes enter each other?"

When they played the game before, they could not go anywhere other than the towns set in the game content, which greatly limited their way of exploring history.

Now that he had spent the money, Cao Yang thought that he could do two things with one dollar, so it wouldn't be too much of a loss.

Lin Yuan subconsciously wanted to take the money, but after thinking about it, he held back. He couldn't exhaust all the resources and ruin his reputation. "This is natural."

"it is good."

Cao Yang then smiled with satisfaction, and Boss Liu thought about it and did not refuse.

"Xiao He, go collect the money first." Lin Yuan made some arrangements, then looked at the landlord, Zhang Xianguang and Nie Yingping, "What about you, do you want to customize the game background?"

The landlord was obviously tempted, but after thinking it over, he refused, "I don't need it, just play normally."

Nie Yingping did not answer, but looked at Zhang Xianguang. Zhang Xianguang said, "We don't need it either. This time we came here to see how to play the game first. As for customizing the background, we will see how it goes later."

"to make."

Since there was no extra money to be earned, Lin Yuan lost interest in continuing the communication. After handing the place over to He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing, he prepared to go back to the third floor.

But when he was on the second floor, Zhang Bohua stopped him and said, "Boss Lin, I want to talk to you about something. Do you have time?"

"Yes, I have."

Although Lin Yuan was a little sleepy, Zhang Bohua had treated his illness before, and seeing patients in the store was also a good special service, enriching the store's projects.

He still had to give this little face, but he didn't know what Zhang Bohua wanted to say. Judging from his expression, he didn't think he was going to use connections or ask for a favor, right?

This... is quite interesting.

He Yuelian, as the lobby manager, is also the person in charge of the Dahai City branch.

After collecting the money for everyone to stay in the e-sports room today, he did not stay there any longer. Instead, he glanced at Zhang Xianguang and went to the branch through the directional portal in the back kitchen.

Although it was night, it was not dark.

In other words, in the ghost-painted ghost realm used by the branch to entertain adventurers and ghost riders, it was still bright and brightly lit, and not long after He Yuelian arrived, something arrived.

That’s right, it’s stuff.

This is the ghostland of the ghost painting, the ghostland of He Yuelian, and she can clearly see what is coming in. She quickly came to the entrance of the first floor. At the entrance, three women with almost the same appearance and figure, who looked relatively mediocre, were standing there quietly with smiles on their faces.

But this smile looks very fake, as if it was carved on.

He Yuelian recognized that these were the three paper figures she saw in the paper-making shop in Taiping Ancient Town today. They were also the three robots that the "store manager" paid for.

At that time, the "store manager" asked the paper-making shop to deliver the goods to the door, and He Yuelian had no idea how the other party would do it.

On the streets outside the ghost realm, there was no discordant existence, everything was very normal, and there were no supernatural phenomena, but the three paper figures were indeed sent into her ghost realm.

"It seems that the shops on that ghost street are very unusual... That's right, a shop that can do business with Brother Yuan is indeed not ordinary."

He Yuelian didn't think much about it, took the three paper people upstairs, and quickly assigned the tasks.

Paper Man No. 1 stood at the counter, responsible for issuing tasks, distributing task rewards, and recording adventurer information.

Paper Man No. 2 stood in the hall, responsible for receiving mission objectives.

Paper man number three stands next to the kitchen, responsible for serving the dishes.

The branch has only been open for a day or two, and only some ghost hunters from the supernatural forum have come here. It doesn't have as much customer traffic as the Peace Hotel.

Moreover, almost no one from the supernatural forum eats here, so it is completely busy.

In fact, if He Yuelian didn't think it was inappropriate to have no one to prepare, she wouldn't even want to keep Paper Man No. 3. As for Paper Man No. 1 and No. 2, they were also quite free.

According to the adventurer system given by the "store manager", it should be a complete content that integrates tasks, rewards, and adventurer information. However, now both rewards and adventurer information are available, but there are some problems with the tasks.

The branch does not have a mature task source system, which means there are no tasks listed at all. He Yuelian had not thought of this before. "I have to talk to Brother Yuan about it tomorrow."

Just as I was thinking about it, Awu came to the door.

He came alone tonight. After entering, he saw that the surrounding environment had changed. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Why is this background so..."

how to say?

When I came here last night, the background was still gray and looked very weird at first glance.

But when I came today, I found that the place had turned into bright colors. Pink peach petals kept falling from the ceiling, forming a thin carpet of peach petals on the ground.

It doesn't look like a haunted place at all. It's just like the scenes in some women's movies, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

In the "store manager's" cognition, the ghost domain of the ghost painting is like this. When the branch was established separately before, the supernatural power of the "store manager" did not spread over, so it is the original appearance of the ghost painting.

But after the "store manager" came to the store once, especially when the branch's kitchen was connected to the Peace Hotel's kitchen, the ghost realm of the ghost painting changed and became such a beautiful scene.

Obviously, the white fog ghost domain is spreading over.

He Yuelian was naturally aware of these situations, but she did not explain them to Ah Wu. Instead, she pointed to the counter of Paper Man No. 1 and said, "If you want to hand in a task, just look for them."

"alright."

Ah Wu came to the counter, put down a golden woven bag behind him, and handed it to Paper Figure No. 2 who stretched out his hand. "This is a ghost that was just detained. It's dangerous level C. The killing pattern is..."

Paper Man No. 1 was recording something on the computer.

It is obviously a supernatural product, but it has no problem using the computer. Look at its typing speed, even its fingers almost leave afterimages. The speed is even faster than what Awu said.

He Yuelian took a look to the side and confirmed that there was nothing wrong before she relaxed.

After handing over everything, He Yuelian took out a booklet from the drawer and handed it to Awu, "This is the Adventurer's Manual. I forgot to give it to you before. You can take a look. Also, you are now a C-level adventurer."

The adventurer system was established by the "store manager" and is used in the branch store.

Ah Wu originally thought that this was just a makeshift team, after all, they didn't have a complete system. It was only because they considered that it was related to the Peace Hotel that they were so supportive and cooperative.

The purpose is to be able to ask the people from the Peace Hotel to take action when Dahai City encounters another S-level supernatural event like a ghost grave in the future.

Even if the "store manager" does not take action, it is a good choice to ask ghosts such as ghost messengers or starving ghosts to help solve supernatural events.

But now it seems that it is not what I thought.

After receiving the Adventurer's Handbook, Wu quickly became absorbed in reading it. This thin booklet also explained the branch's adventurer system in detail:
[Adventurer level: X level (S level, A level, B level, C level). ]

[Adventurer benefits: 9% off food at Peace Hotel and its branches (92%, 94%, 96%, 98%). ]

[Adventurer promotion: Able to independently complete X-level (S-level, A-level, B-level, C-level) tasks and ensure personal safety. ]

"Are the benefits for adventurers so good?" Awu was very surprised.

In fact, a 10% discount is nothing to the outside world. When many stores hold promotions and events, they even offer a 30% discount.

But the Peace Hotel is different.

As far as Awu knows, the biggest discount at the Peace Hotel right now is 93%, which is just above A-level adventurers and below S-level adventurers.

But now, the highest-level adventurers can actually get a 9% discount, which is simply... Wait! X-level adventurers need to be able to independently complete X-level tasks, which means X-level supernatural events?

What is an X-rated paranormal event?

It is the kind of mysterious and unknown supernatural event that cannot be defined for the time being, and is of high importance, such as the strange county town that appeared after the Ghost Lake got out of control, and the ghost peddler who traded with Cao Yang.

But how terrifying are these supernatural events?

Ah Wu couldn't imagine it. After all, he couldn't handle even S-level supernatural events alone. He estimated, "My strength should be able to become a B-level adventurer at best. It's not bad to be able to get a 96% discount."

Then he looked at the taskbar again.

It was an electronic display screen, with the words [Adventurer's Mission] written on the top, but only a reminder [1. None.] below.

"Miss He, there is still no mission today?"

He Yuelian said: "The mission system is still being improved, but you adventurers can also issue missions, but the missions you issue need to provide the mission rewards yourself. Also, like just now, after you handle the supernatural incident and hand the ghost to us, after we confirm that it is correct, it can be considered that you have completed a mission."

"I see. It's a bit similar to the mercenary model, where you can pay people to do things? If it's a task we post ourselves, then the rewards shouldn't all be supernatural items, right?" Awu asked.

He Yuelian said: "It's up to you to decide what rewards to offer. We provide the platform and don't interfere."

"it is good."

A Wu breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "I heard that the Peace Hotel has a long history, which can even be traced back to the Republic of China period. Wouldn't this be the case with the Adventurer System?"

He Yuelian looked at him deeply and said, "Who knows?"

……

"Mr. Zhang, do you want your apprentice Xiaoru to be a chef at the branch store?"

In Room 203 of the Peace Hotel, Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Bohua with a strange expression, as if saying: Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, it turns out that you are also a person who uses the back door like this!
Zhang Bohua smiled bitterly, "I can't help it. I've been alone all my life, and I only have this one apprentice. I'm really worried about her. A few days ago, I asked Lao Meng to go back to the store to check on her. I can only say that Xiaoru has been having a very unhappy life recently, so I thought, since there's a suitable position, I'd like to see if I can give her a chance."

The reason was some of the things that Meng Xiaodong mentioned to him when he came back today.

Since he moved into the Peace Hotel, he has been going back to the Chinese medicine shop in Zhongjiang City less and less. It’s not that he doesn’t want to go back, but he wants to cultivate Xiaoru’s independence.

Now he is alive.

If something really happens to Xiaoru, he can go out and solve it.

But if Xiaoru still doesn't have the ability to live independently after he dies, he will be really sad - although he feels younger and younger in the Peace Hotel, he doesn't think that the Peace Hotel can give him eternal life.

Even if there is such supernatural power, it is absolutely impossible to use it on his partner, so naturally he needs to make more preparations in advance.

As a result, Meng Xiaodong brought some not-so-good news.

When Zhang Bohua was running the Chinese medicine shop, he also took care of some potential newcomers, allowing his reputation to spread in a small circle, so later some people would go back to the shop to get Chinese medicine.

When Zhang Bohua was around, there were naturally no major problems, and no one could cause any trouble in front of him.

But now only Xiaoru is left...

Ghost riders, especially those on the verge of evil spirits reviving, have their mental health greatly affected, and they act impulsively without regard for the consequences.

So Xiaoru also encountered a lot of troubles during this period, but because of the backup plan left by Zhang Bohua, she was not really hurt.

But it's not a good idea to continue like this.

Just when he heard the news that a branch was recruiting, Zhang Bohua could no longer sit still. He took this opportunity to plead for Xiaoru and ask for a job.

Even if it is a branch store, you can get the protection of the "store manager" and there won't be so much trouble.
