Chapter 524: The Value of "Dating", the Real Treasure of Ghost Street

"The two old men who walked out of Taiping Ancient Town seemed to be looking for something in the game, but they did not pay too much attention to his traces in history. They did not enter the game this time. Could it be that they have found what they wanted?" Li Jun frowned.

Lu Zhiwen said, "If you want to know the answer, why not just ask directly? After all, He Yin'er is also the captain of the headquarters. Although she is more inclined to the Peace Hotel now, she has never been lax in handling supernatural events. With the current relationship between us and the Peace Hotel, friendly communication may not be impossible."

"Captain Lu is right, and we can also cooperate and communicate. After all, they are old people from the previous era, and they survived that ghost street. They are quite powerful. If they can be brought into the camp of the headquarters, it will be a great benefit. We can ask them. If they don't find what they are looking for, we can also help. It's mutually beneficial, just like Chenqiao sheep. And they are safer than Chenqiao sheep." Ah Hong also put forward her own opinions.

Tong Qian thought for a moment and said, "Ah Hong is right. Our status as shop assistants makes us feel good about the Peace Hotel, but it does not affect our minds. I can guarantee that."

After making the decision, Li Jun and others reported the situation to the headquarters.

After obtaining permission from the headquarters, the few people did not return to Dajing City immediately, but began to contact He Yiner in Dayuan City.

He Yin'er returns to Dayuan City every night after get off work recently.

The new Taiping Ancient Town was built in Dayuan City, carrying the hopes of her and the only two remaining older generations, so she had to keep an eye on it.

Even Boss Liu had to guard the gate of the construction site all day long, acting as a security guard.

In other words, the faceless man's appearance is a bit scary, and it is not appropriate for him to appear in the crowd openly, so he is responsible for some things that do not require him to show his face too much.

It was already evening, and because of the weather, it had darkened early, but the new town was still brightly lit, with many workers busy at work and the roar of various machines.

The work here is done in shifts, so there is no need to worry about the workers being exhausted.

Food and funds are also sufficient. Without having to worry about not getting paid, not having enough food, and not having enough rest, the entire construction site is bursting with unprecedented enthusiasm.

The bustling scene means that Taiping Ancient Town is being built visibly and it changes almost every day.

"You should go and have a rest. You have to go to work tomorrow. We are watching here, so nothing will happen." Boss Liu followed He Yiner, inspected the condition of the construction site, and urged He Yiner to go and have a rest.

He Yin'er shook her head and sat down in the guard room. "No need. I'm in a good mental state now. I've long passed the time when I need to sleep to replenish my energy."

A trace of distress flashed across Boss Liu's eyes.

Their generation took a different path from He Yiner's new generation. The path they took was very similar to that of the Republic of China period, which was a path with the supernatural superimposed on it.

It's just that there were some problems with their inheritance. The battle that broke out in Ghost Lake that year buried too many older generations prematurely, so that many things were not passed down at all.

However, what they learned still allowed them to possess powerful strength while ensuring that they were still barely normal people.

But He Yiner's generation is different, or the entire line of necromancers is very different from the other people in the town.

Alien!

Using human consciousness to control the body of an evil spirit, the ghost rider in this state is extremely powerful. There is no need to worry about the risk of the evil spirit reviving, and even normal physiological needs such as eating and sleeping are not required.

From the perspective of benefits, it is a great thing that they don’t have to waste time on these things, which is enough to add nearly ten hours of “lifespan” every day.

But from the perspective of human nature, this is no longer within the scope of human beings.

Boss Liu looked distressed, but there was nothing he could do, because he knew He Yiner's temperament very well. Compared with her grandfather He Liansheng, it was also a word:

stubborn!
The satellite positioning phone suddenly rang. He Yiner took a look and picked it up, then frowned, "Cooperation? With..."

At this point, she glanced at Boss Liu, took the phone aside and said, "Captain Li Jun from the headquarters called and wants to invite you to the headquarters to work together to develop a virtual game."

"Invite us into the headquarters? Forget it. We are already old men who are about to die. We only have ten or twenty years left. We won't live long. Why should we bother with young people?" Boss Liu shook his head decisively.

But on the other end of the phone, Li Jun and others twitched their eyes when they heard this.

Can I still live another ten or twenty years?
And, isn't this enough?
Since they became ghost riders, the worst time they had even thought they only had half a year to live, but no one thought that their life was short.

But Boss Liu is so good. The path he has taken can allow him to live another ten or twenty years like a normal person when he is nearly sixty years old?
Li Jun suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice: "Boss Liu, I don't know if you have found what you want. If not, we can help. Even if you don't want to join the headquarters, you can try to cooperate in the virtual game. If there are deficiencies in terms of expenses, we can also provide some support."

Is it just cooperation in a virtual game?

Boss Liu was somewhat tempted, but when he heard the subsequent topic about expenses, he was also a little embarrassed.

I didn’t go to the Peace Hotel these two days, not because I didn’t want to go to the ancient town of Taiping, nor because I was scared by the “Red Name Village” last time.

There is only one very practical reason:
No more money!
As an older generation, especially after running a shop in Taiping Ancient Town for such a long time, they should have some collections and accumulations.

But in fact, after the Ghost Lake outbreak, their accumulation had been almost emptied.

That battle consumed too many of the older generation, and these older generations also consumed too much of their energy while fighting desperately. Because that battle was a battle of life and death, no one had anything to hide.

But despite this, in that battle, if there had not been a senior who came out to cover the back in the end, the Ghost Street of Taiping Ancient Town would have been gone long ago, instead of leaving five or six seeds.

Fortunately, in the following ten years, they accumulated some again.

After entering the virtual game, they still had some accumulation, but not much, especially in the last round of the game, because they went back and forth to the "teleportation array" twice in a row, which cost them an extra 18 yuan, or six ghosts, which reduced their accumulation by more than half!

In the game, Taiping Ancient Town has become a "Red Name Village".

After the "store manager's" explanation, they also realized that it was very dangerous there. Even if they were originally members of Taiping Ancient Town, as soon as they went in, not only would they not be recognized, but their origins would be doubted. Then?
On Ghost Street, there are supernatural beings that specifically target consciousness.

If you think about it carefully, if they had not fought desperately in the last virtual game, but were captured by that group of people and taken back to Ghost Street, they would probably have faced spiritual problems involving consciousness, or even methods such as soul searching.

The Taiping Ancient Town in the game is very dangerous, and they don't have many resources, so you must be cautious, cautious, and cautious again!

But if the headquarters is willing to pay, that’s another matter.

Boss Liu called the faceless man over to discuss the matter. He also sought He Yin'er's opinion. He Yin had no objection to this. She just said, "Why don't we wait until after tonight's game is over? Let's see how things go. Maybe there will be a better way or more bargaining chips."

As a fourth-generation necromancer, He Yiner's words had a profound impact on Boss Liu and the Faceless Man, and they naturally agreed with them.

Li Jun didn't care about this answer. He didn't say much and ended the call directly. "In general, the result is not bad. Just as Captain Yin Zi said, they need to see the situation of this virtual game before making a decision. Isn't it the same for us?"

"Okay, there's nothing to do here, so I'll leave first."

Tong Qian was the first to leave. She wanted to go to ZS City.

Before each recent virtual game, ZS City was the first place to encounter S-level supernatural events such as heavy fog. Although it has been confirmed that there is no problem, she still needs to take a look before she can feel at ease.

After all, she still has some relatives and friends living in ZS City.

"I won't stay any longer. Just leave me a message if you have anything to say." Lu Zhiwen was going to drive the ghost bus.

His current condition is still not good. He is walking on a tightrope by forcing the evil spirit to revive in order to drive. He may face death if he is not careful.

If he could have the protection of the "store manager" and plant a white mist seed, that would naturally be the best thing, but the path he took was such that he couldn't even think about actually entering the Peace Hotel.

Everything depends on yourself!
Even Old Qin could provide him with much less help now.

On the haunted bus, he can suppress the revival of his own evil spirits, and at the same time send more ghosts back to the haunted places where they should be. This is much simpler and easier than simply dealing with supernatural events.

Soon, Li Jun and Ah Hong were the only ones left in the suburbs of Dadong City.

"You think Fang Shiming's action this time won't really cause any trouble?" Ah Hong was still a little worried. She always felt very nervous.

Li Jun looked up at the sky and said softly, "I'm not sure, but there shouldn't be any big problems. After all, with him watching, it's impossible for Fang Shiming to do anything."

He guessed correctly, Lin Yuan was indeed staring at this place.

When Fang Shiming took the ghost messenger Lao Fan on a date, Lin Yuan didn't care too much. This was just the bad taste of his ordinary human consciousness and had nothing to do with him.

He did not rest for most of the night just to fill the gap in his ordinary human consciousness.

After all, what he wanted to do was a virtual game, not a real return to the past history. It was impossible for him to use supernatural powers on a large scale to really send so many people to the past few decades.

Otherwise, Zhang Dong would definitely intervene.

There was no need for him to conflict with Zhang Dong now. Everything had to wait until a month later, after Zhang Dong died.

At that time, Lin Yuan will have the opportunity to get the puzzle called Zhangdong.

If everything goes well, then things on his side will be much easier and he won't have to worry so much.

In this case, every time a virtual game is launched, you have to go to Caesars Hotel and bring in a group of evil spirits to play the roles of NPCs and monsters in the virtual game. Now that the points model has been proposed, it must be maintained well, lest someone accuses him of selling dog meat under the guise of sheep.

of course.

The quantity also needs to be controlled.

A Caesar Brewery was added to the Caesar Brewery, which consumed a lot of evil spirits, but the higher the consumption, the more ghosts were replenished.

Just like the food in the Peace Hotel, a ghost was dismembered by Li Qingzhi and then made into wine and drinks to sell. The value that could be recovered was at least six to ten times the profit.

Because even if it is just an arm, it can be combined with a wisp of white mist to become a new bottle of wine. How many parts a ghost can be dismembered depends on how terrifying the ghost is and how much weight is needed to achieve a balance with the standard unit of white mist set by Lin Yuan.

Even the weakest ghost, faced with a wisp of white mist from the ghost realm, can at least divide it into five or six parts and make five or six bottles of wine.

It's totally huge profits!

Such huge profits are enough to increase the number of evil spirits in Caesar Hotel exponentially. In this way, Lin Yuan does not have to worry about the insufficient number of NPCs in the virtual game.

On the contrary, he also has to limit the ghosts pulled into the virtual game based on the price of the points card.

Otherwise, if the points are allowed to inflate again, forcing him to change the redemption price of the points cards again, that would be a slap in his own face.

"We only need 80 ghosts this time, which should be enough. It can also prevent Chen Qiaoyang, Wei Jing, and Zhang Lei from growing too fast and leaving too much distance between them and the others, making the game one-sided and losing the fun of confrontation."

"Hey! I didn't expect that I would be doing the balancing job now, limiting the strength and income of players. It seems that I am really suitable to be a profiteer?"

While muttering, Lin Yuan brought eighty ghosts to Dadong City. At the same time, he let the white fog ghost domain cover the entire Dadong City and began to turn it into a battlefield for a virtual game!
It was also at this time that Lin Yuan discovered Li Jun and others, as well as Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher Lao Fan.

The moment he saw Fang Shiming, Lin Yuan understood. "This little Fang, is he planning to exploit my bug? But this little Fang is quite smart. After two dates, he figured out why I put the ghost messenger next to him."

Otherwise, is it really just a date?
Only ordinary people like him would have such a bad taste. For Lin Yuan, his real purpose is to let Fang Shiming grow up and have the strength to fight against Zhang Xianguang, so that Zhang Xianguang will be caught in the confrontation and have no time to mess around.

of course.

He has given Fang Shiming the opportunity, but whether Fang Shiming can grasp it or even understand it depends on Fang Shiming's own ability.

If Fang Shiming couldn't do this, Lin Yuan would not hold the bowl and feed Fang Shiming with food, but would change his target.

He doesn't need a useless guy!
But this time, he got two surprises.

One is Li Jun and others at the headquarters, who also saw the opportunity to control the ghost messenger Lao Fan's "dating" rules, and were ready to compete with Fang Shiming for the qualification to control the ghost messenger.

Even though this kind of control is not reliable, it is more like some kind of external pendant, formed by the "dating" rules, a control method similar to a curse.

But as long as it succeeds, it can also make people become the top existence beyond the current era in one fell swoop!

It's like playing a game, everyone's level is only 60, and you are also level 60, but suddenly there is a level 120 baby with full godly equipment.

Who can withstand such temptation?

It is inevitable that the people at the headquarters would think of this and be tempted.

Lin Yuan was also happy to see this scene. As long as they wanted it, they would have to take action, and there were many things Lin Yuan could do.

But this matter can be done slowly, there is no rush, and this accident can also be said to be a surprise.

The other is that Fang Shiming was alone and had no time to find someone to analyze the situation. He guessed his purpose by himself and was able to use the ghost messenger Lao Fan to try to find the bug.

The smarter and stronger Fang Shiming is, the more capable he is of fighting and confronting Zhang Xianguang, which is also something Lin Yuan can see.

Just by throwing out the bait of the ghost messenger Lao Fan, Fang Shiming and his circle of friends, the captains at the headquarters, and the emperor's son Zhang Xianguang were all caught in the trap. It was a good result.

"In that case, I won't punish Xiao Fang for his bug-free behavior today. But his mentality of wanting to play games without spending money is not good. If everyone follows suit, then I will be too pitiful. Anyone can find a way to take advantage of me. So, let's arrange it this way!"

Lin Yuan instantly had an idea, and so tonight's game officially began.

Just like before, Shen Lin, the tool captain, was once again used by Lin Yuan, or it could be said that Lin Yuan was now completely using Shen Lin's body.

This captain who only exists in memory is still very powerful.

But unfortunately, when facing Lin Yuan who had no weaknesses, his strength was still flawed after all, and the difference in terror level was too great, leaving him no room for resistance.

The news of Shen Lin's disappearance also reached the headquarters.

Not to mention the headquarters, even the liaison officer in Shen Lin's city did not have the slightest worry and was sleeping soundly instead.

Anyway, Shen Lin will come back by himself tomorrow morning.

Under such circumstances, Lin Yuan used Shen Lin's body in Dadong City, Shen Lin's supernatural powers as a medium, and the white fog ghost domain as a driving force, and easily turned this city into his playground.

Then we went to Taiping Ancient Town.

Unlike before when he had to catch a plane, Lin Yuan's strength has now increased significantly. When he invades the body of Shen Lin, the tool captain, he can mobilize more than just Shen Lin's own strength.

Using Ghost Lake as a medium, he appeared directly in the ancient town of Taiping.

But he was accompanied by Fang Shiming and the ghost messenger Lao Fan.

At this moment, Fang Shiming closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep. There was no movement at all, and he was completely like a toy that could be manipulated by anyone.

The ghost catcher Lao Fan is similar.

In front of Lin Yuan, he naturally no longer had to play the role of a taciturn retired special forces king, but instead appeared as his truest self.

However, its ghost domain was suppressed.

In the white fog ghost domain, there is no possibility for the ghost catcher's ghost domain to unfold unless Lin Yuan allows it.

Looking at the desolate surroundings, with houses lined up one after another but no signs of human presence, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "The situation here is really special. He Yin'er just left without figuring out what the biggest treasure here is. Even Boss Liu and the faceless man didn't figure it out, and He Liansheng didn't explain it clearly when he died. Or did he not know at all? But it doesn't matter."

As they were talking, the white fog ghost realm had completely invaded this place.

When the white fog ghost domain completely enveloped the entire ghost street, the originally quiet rooms suddenly began to move strangely. Doors opened one after another, and terrifying figures appeared at the doorways one after another.

Blacksmith shop...

Paper shop...

Ghost Bank...

Mask shop...

At the door of every house, there stood an old figure, but it could be seen that these figures did not have the slightest breath of a living person. They were just scary ghosts.

Even in the ancestral hall, three bodies appeared one after another, one of which was... He Liansheng!

As the white fog became thicker, Lin Yuan's figure gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared into the fog. The evil ghost, who had been dull and motionless, suddenly showed some strange changes.

There seemed to be a hint of life on their faces.

Then, they actually began to try to stretch out their hands, lift their feet, and open their mouths, and seemed to start moving and communicating with each other.

Such a strange scene, such a terrifying scene, was not discovered by anyone, except Lin Yuan, who was the instigator and overlooked it all.

"The real treasure of Ghost Street is the older generations who buried themselves after death. I was too careless before and didn't investigate it deeply, but now, I can make use of it! The virtual game is a good excuse to avoid people noticing anything unusual. It allows me to... turn everything here into my puzzle..."

Lin Yuan's voice gradually disappeared, and finally could no longer be heard.

At this moment, the originally dead, empty and eerie streets suddenly became lively and full of people.

This dead ghost street now seems to have returned to a day decades ago, full of popularity and hope, and everyone is living a normal life as usual.

At the same time, Fang Shiming, who was standing under the archway at the street corner, also opened his eyes, "I...did I succeed in sneaking across the border?"
