I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 550 The only winner of this round of the game, the resident ghost peddler (Happy New Year)

"You should just call me Boss Lin. I'm just an ordinary person. There's no need to call me old."

Lin Yuan interrupted the affectionate gaze between Wang Lu and Wang Chaling. As for the title, he didn't want to be called grandpa or uncle.

According to his plan, his existence will continue to extend forward in the timeline.

Perhaps it won’t be long before the Wang family, that is, Wang Lu’s parents and Wang Chaling’s grandparents, may have seen him when they were young.

In this case, does his seniority have to be raised?
"Okay, Boss Lin."

Wang Cha Ling quickly decided on the title. You know, there are many people here who call Lin Yuan "Brother Yuan". If he follows Wang Lu's arrangement and calls Lin Yuan grandpa, or even just uncle, what should be his attitude towards other people?

Could it be that he also has to call Tong Qian, Liu Qingqing, He Yuelian and He Yiner "Auntie"?
Even if he is willing, these women will never agree!
As for Wang Lu’s eyes?
Anyway, he didn't care. He would never call Lin Yuan "grandpa". But he didn't notice Wang Lu's disappointed look.

idiot!

The store manager is so powerful. If I could really get in touch with him and get his approval, wouldn't I be able to walk all over the supernatural circle in the future?
Wang Lu felt annoyed.

But in the end I can only comfort myself that if I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, it's my fate.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and changed the subject. "Okay, you guys pay the room fee. Three dollars a night for a room. And Lao Yang, the same goes for you."

Yang Xiaotian had nothing to say. He didn't bring the ghost with him, so he could only turn his eyes to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian had thought of this a long time ago, and he had even learned to draw inferences from one example. "Brother Yuan, how much is the cost of my treatment here? Is it also three yuan?"

Lin Yuan immediately gave him an admiring look, "Yes, that's three pieces."

This also sets a tone. Those who "sneaked" into the virtual game last night will be awakened according to this price. It is neither high nor low, and is considered a suitable price range.

As for whether this will encourage them to smuggle?
Of course it is encouragement!

Anyway, it would not cause any impact if they sneaked in. After all, it was just a ghost town created by Lin Yuan. It had no impact on history or reality.

Let them come in and have some fun, and each of them can earn three yuan, without having to pay anything in the end. How can you not do such a good thing?

Fortunately, Yang Jian also caught some ghosts on a daily basis. Although they were very taboo about coming to the Peace Hotel, he would come here himself or arrange for someone to come to exchange for money to buy their lives.

The commemorative coins issued by the Peace Hotel are now hard currency in the paranormal circle.

Although it cannot reach the level of "money can make the devil work", but at least after spending the money, the devil will not attack you again. It is truly money that buys your life!

Yang Jian casually took out two life-saving bills and settled his account.

Wang Chaling did not hesitate either. He had much more money to buy his life than Yang Jian.

Lin Yuan asked Liu Qingqing to put the money away, but he was thinking about something else.

The souls of Yang Xiaotian, Wang Lu and his wife, and the Wang family generation from the Gengshen year, although they have stayed in the Peace Hotel for one night, have also been marked by the Peace Hotel.

But there is still some distance before they can be assimilated into the puzzle by the Peace Hotel.

The Wang Lu couple and Yang Xiaotian are not in a hurry yet. They are living people, and Lin Yuan will not do anything to drain the pond and catch fish unless it is necessary, and will not attack the living ghost riders.

But the souls of the Wang generation are not among them.

If they are to be assimilated into the puzzle of the Peace Hotel without affecting Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu, who are the medium between them, the progress will have to be slower. They will need to stay in the Peace Hotel for at least another five or six nights.

But looking at the attitudes of Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu, and Yang Xiaotian, the possibility of them coming over on their own initiative again is probably not very high. There must be a reason to attract them.

After taking a look at Yang Jian and Wang Chaling, Lin Yuan had some ideas in his mind.

As for whether these ideas can be successfully implemented, it doesn’t really matter. If it really doesn’t work, then just bring them over by force.

Just like now.

Even if they had seen "Him", they still didn't dare to say it out loud. And as long as Lin Yuan was willing, it would not be difficult to bring them here by force.

In that case, Lin Yuan didn't think any more about it, and then distributed points to the players from last night.

Most people are not in a good mood about this points mode today, because last night's game process was very tragic. Many people got a lot of points at the beginning, but the results were not very good.

the reason is simple.

Due to the feature of points dropping after death, many players have a lot of points in their hands at the beginning, but later on, they have no points left.

This is extremely embarrassing.

Cao Yang came forward with a smile and took the initiative to ask about the points, but his eyes occasionally glanced at Zhang Xianguang. Lin Yuan did not hide his feelings and said directly: "Only one player got points in this game, that is Lao Zhang, Zhang Xianguang. He got 445 points alone, which is all the points for this game."

After hearing this, everyone present was still a little agitated even though they had already guessed it.

Cao Yang rolled his eyes, but he was not too radical. He just smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, this time the winner takes all in this game. Lao Zhang is really amazing. He didn't even fight monsters, but he was able to get so many points. I admire you so much."

All of you here are smart people.

Even after self-conquest, the owner of the manor, who regarded Lin Yuan as his lifelong belief, also possessed extraordinary wisdom.

On the surface, Cao Yang's words were a compliment to Zhang Xianguang, but they were clearly a deeply hidden provocation, focusing everyone's attention on Zhang Xianguang.

In this way, as long as the game is not further updated, as long as Zhang Xianguang enters the game, he will be everyone's public enemy.

His strength in the game was almost one level above everyone else, and he was destined to be the first target that everyone wanted to eliminate.

It would probably be difficult for him to make any progress in the game in the future.

However, Zhang Xianguang's expression did not change much, and he ignored Cao Yang. Instead, he asked Lin Yuan, "Boss Lin, can we trade these points?"

Lin Yuan's smile became brighter. "It is not allowed in principle. After all, it is virtual currency. However, since everyone has a demand, we have to consider it. Transactions are allowed, but there will be a handling fee. For a transaction of 100 points, a handling fee of 3 yuan will be charged. 3%, isn't it expensive?"

A three percent handling fee is naturally not expensive.

But the premise is that three yuan is drawn for every one hundred yuan, not three yuan is drawn for every one hundred points. This clearly equates real currency with game currency, but can the two be converted in this way?
Profiteer!

This word popped up in everyone's mind, but no one dared to refute it, especially Zhang Xianguang who made this suggestion, who had no objection at all.

"This time I have 445 points, plus the 75 points before, so I now have 520 points. If you need anything, you can contact me and we can discuss the price."

The landlord and the missionary looked at each other, then stood up and walked over.

Cao Yang returned to his table and said helplessly in a low voice: "Zhang Xianguang is too smart. He actually cracked my plan just like that. But there is really nothing we can do. After all, we also need points. Let's see the situation first. We can't speculate the points to a too high price, otherwise it will not be cost-effective."

Wei Jing and Zhang Lei naturally had no objection.

On the other side, Wang Xiaoming brought Zhang Bohua to his laboratory on the first floor underground. However, facing Fang Shiming's condition, Zhang Bohua had no way to deal with it. He directly pointed out the core: "His condition is the influence of his spirit. Unless you are stronger than him, there is no way to deal with it."

"It's just as I guessed."

Wang Xiaoming did not feel surprised. This was something he had expected. After reaching a specific conclusion, he no longer paid attention to Fang Shiming, but turned his attention to the medicine box carried by Zhang Bohua.

"Mr. Zhang, isn't this medicine box heavy for you to carry? How about I help you carry it? Or you can tell me how much it costs. I am ready to buy this medicine box."

"I'm old now, and he's still my old friend. I have feelings for him. You young people, don't set your sights on me."

Zhang Bohua shook his head, turned and left the laboratory.

Only when his figure disappeared did Wang Xiaoming reluctantly withdraw his gaze, then he carried Fang Shiming directly to the first floor and handed him over to Lin Yuan.

With Lin Yuan around, Fang Shiming's sobriety would naturally not be a problem.

After Fang Shiming woke up, Lin Yuan asked a crucial question, "Didn't you have a date with Lao Fan last night? Why is he so energetic, but you look exhausted, or even unconscious?"

Fang Shiming opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan was just joking around. Fang Shiming, the president of the circle of friends who had a great reputation in the outside world, was just a super good employee who worked at his own expense in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Although I don’t spend much each time when I invite my friends to come over, it happens quite frequently!
Because of this, he also had some preferential treatment for Fang Shiming. At this moment, Cao Yang, who was chatting and waiting to see the results of Zhang Xianguang's transaction, suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Lei asked.

Cao Yang shook his head solemnly, "I always feel that something terrible is approaching, and it's the kind of thing that can easily take my life."

"Apart from the store manager, there are probably not many people like this, right?" Wei Jing said.

Cao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I know what you mean, but I'm not talking nonsense. This feeling is very familiar, just like, just like..."

Cao Yang turned his head sharply and looked at the stairs on the second floor. Just then, a peddler carrying a shoulder pole with a cargo box hanging on it came down the stairs. Seeing the ghost peddler, Cao Yang stood up from his seat reflexively and turned around and ran.

Unfortunately, all the supernatural powers were suppressed here, and he had no way of using Guifeng's ghost domain. Otherwise, he would have escaped through the ghost domain by turning into a rainbow. Why would he stay here?
Yup!

This is the Peace Hotel, why should I run here?
All of a sudden, Cao Yang understood. Although the supernatural instinct in his body told him that this ghost peddler was extremely dangerous and could take his life at any time.

But his reason told him that as long as he stayed in the Peace Hotel, he would be safe.

Even if he was a ghost peddler, it was impossible for him to take his life under the nose of the "store manager". It was simply impossible.

"call!"

Cao Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and only his deskmate Wei Jing and Zhang Lei noticed his abnormality. They couldn't help but look curiously at the ghost peddler who came down from upstairs.

"Is this... a ghost? He didn't turn into an animal... No, it's not that he didn't turn into an animal, it's that his clothes covered his face."

Zhang Lei looked at it carefully. "Is it a gorilla? Wait, aren't gorillas aliens? When did ghosts become gorillas?"

The ghost peddler was wrapped tightly all over, with only his palms exposed. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't recognize that they were the hands of a gorilla.

His face was blocked by his hat because he was coming down from upstairs, and Zhang Lei happened to spot his gorilla face from an angle.

Cao Yang shook his head and did not explain the relationship between him and the Ghost Peddler, but he also felt something was wrong. "Why does the medium between me and the Ghost Peddler feel a little strange, as if... there is an extra link?"

The trading relationship between him and the ghost peddler has always been hidden. Except for the "store manager", even his uncle Cao Yanhua is not aware of it.

He never told anyone about it.

Even in the Peace Hotel, he could vaguely feel the medium curse between him and the ghost peddler. Obviously, even in the Peace Hotel, he could not escape it.

Of course, if the ghost peddler really dared to chase here, he would basically be dealt with by the "store manager" unless the "store manager" wanted to see him die.

But now, he perceived that there was one more medium curse, which was the ghost peddler in front of him.

What’s going on? Are there two more ghost peddlers? No!
Cao Yang suddenly looked at Wang Lu and his wife, as well as Yang Xiaotian. When he looked at the ghost peddler again, his eyes changed a little, "Could this ghost peddler have come from the Gengshen year?"

After the ghost peddler went downstairs, he also noticed Cao Yang.

After pausing for a moment, he walked towards the cashier, and Lin Yuan greeted him warmly, "Cheng Hui, three yuan a night."

The peddler put down his carrying pole, opened a cargo box in front of him and reached in.

The cargo box was not big, only about one cubic meter. However, when the ghost peddler withdrew his hand, a huge crocodile had appeared inside.

boom!
The crocodile hit the ground with a dull thud, attracting everyone's attention.

There are still people who use wild beasts to pay bills, but there are very few of them now. However, Lin Yuan still collected them and asked the ghost to come in and carry the crocodile to the commemorative coin exchange office.

But then the ghost peddler took out a monkey and a wolf from the box.

Lin Yuan was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and smiled even brighter, "Okay, no problem, go ahead."

The ghost peddler then picked up the carrying pole, walked out of the store, and came to the roadside not far from the store, which was under the billboard. He put down the carrying pole and two cargo boxes again and just stood there.

Cao Yang: “???”

This damn thing is just going to stay here and not leave?
"This is a peddler walking around the streets. He has some good stuff in his hands. He will trade and sell it outside the store from time to time. If you have anything you want to buy or sell, you can trade with him."

Lin Yuan collected the venue fee from the two ghosts, so naturally he had to help advertise the ghost peddler. After all, he also had to collect fees for subsequent transactions.

I can only say that the ghost peddler is really good at it.

At least that was the case with the ghost peddler in the Gengshen year. Unlike the ghost peddler in reality, he just avoided Lin Yuan and didn't dare to get close to him, or even enter the Peace Hotel.

He is the owner of the Peace Hotel and a serious businessman. Even though he can allow the consciousness of his complete body to move completely freely within the Peace Hotel, he is still very disciplined and will not force anyone to sell anything.

Well, probably.

The bustling restaurant soon became deserted. Cao Yang pulled Wei Jing and Zhang Lei, not daring to stay in the Peace Hotel any longer, and just went for a walk.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu, Wang Chaling, Yang Xiaotian and Yang Xiao also left, but they did not leave the Peace Hotel. Instead, they left the lobby and came to the room on the second floor.

Obviously, they had a lot of private things to talk about that were not suitable for others to hear.

The same goes for Zhang Xianguang and Nie Yingping, but they have not completed the points trading course.

On the surface, it seemed that the landlord and the missionaries did not give the price he wanted, but Nie Yingping knew that Zhang Xianguang did it on purpose and just did not want to sell it to these three foreigners.

The landlord and the missionary did not stay either, and left right after Zhang Xianguang.

Looking at their appearance, those who didn't know would have thought that they were going to take advantage of the situation to rob, but the owner of the manor stayed, and so did Chen Qiaoyang. He waited until Zhang Xianguang left before coming out of the e-sports room.

Chen Qiaoyang's face was not looking good. "Boss Lin, this game is so difficult now. No matter how many points you get, you may end up giving them to others."

Lin Yuan glanced at him and ignored him.

"The boss naturally has his own ideas. If you feel it is inappropriate, you don't have to play. No one is forcing you." The owner of the manor snorted coldly and confronted him directly.

A hint of coldness flashed in Chen Qiaoyang's eyes.

He was afraid of Zhang Xianguang's power, but that didn't mean he was afraid of a core member of the King's Organization. They had fought each other before, and they were both equally matched. Who was afraid of who?
You just flatter the "store manager" but you have to step on yourself?
It's simply seeking death!
Faced with Chen Qiaoyang's murderous intent, the owner of the manor was not at all panicked.

Everyone knows each other well, and after a battle in the virtual game, they have a clearer understanding of each other's background. What's more, the owner of the manor thinks that he is also the "store manager" and has the White Mist Seed. Why would he be afraid of a piece of trash that even the "store manager" doesn't want to accept?
That's right.

In the eyes of the manor owner, Chen Qiaoyang applied to join the Peace Hotel several times but was not accepted, which shows that there was something wrong with Chen Qiaoyang in some aspect.

In terms of strength, definitely not.

He recognized Chen Qiaoyang's ability, which was stronger than many employees in the store, so it could only be other aspects, such as character?

For the first time in his life, the owner of the manor found that he could actually suppress others in terms of character. He felt suddenly much better and his smile became brighter.

Lin Yuan watched the show with great interest, enjoying Liu Qingqing's gentle care... Hey, it's not Liu Qingqing, it's He Yuelian?
"Brother Yuan, are you surprised to see that it's me?"

In front of Lin Yuan, He Yuelian had already taken off her red veil, revealing a face that was so beautiful that it seemed like it could not exist in this world. Coupled with her expression of grievance, she made people feel pity for her.

Unfortunately, this trick didn't have much effect on Lin Yuan. "Where's Xiao Liu? Wasn't she there just now?"

He Yuelian's eyes flickered. "She went to the second floor. It seems she went to see Wang Chaling. They have been in contact more frequently recently. I don't know why."

Her answer was honest, yet could be easily misunderstood.

If this were someone who liked to think too much, he would think that there might be some unclear relationship between Liu Qingqing and Wang Chaling, and he would not suspect that He Yuelian was deliberately instigating it.

It’s so high!

Lin Yuan gave He Yuelian a thumbs up in his heart, said a few words casually, and went back to the third floor.

Of course, what he got back was only his own consciousness, and this body was returned to the ordinary person's consciousness that he had separated and could only be recognized by normal people.

It's like hanging up.

The Ghost Peddler is quite terrifying. He is now staying at the Peace Hotel for a long time. He is also the medium that connects Lin Yuan to the Gengshen Year. He needs to be assimilated into the puzzle as soon as possible.

Without Lin Yuan's leadership, the Peace Hotel's assimilation of the puzzle was relatively slow and methodical.

Lin Yuan wanted to speed up, so he naturally had to make some arrangements. As for other things, he temporarily put them aside.

At the same time, Cao Yang and others have returned to the headquarters.

As usual, he attended the meeting and told the staff what happened last night. After letting them record it, Cao Yanhua said, "Lu Zhiwen, Li Jun, and Ah Hong need to be sent to the Peace Hotel. Cao Yang, this matter will be handled by..."

"Deputy Minister, I'm a little tired. Let someone else take care of this matter." Cao Yang immediately interrupted Cao Yanhua's arrangements and said with lingering fear.

After all, Cao Yanhua was Cao Yang's uncle. He immediately guessed that Cao Yang might be afraid of something, so he did not insist and assigned this task to Wei Jing.

After Wei Jing left, he called Cao Yang aside and asked, "Did you have a falling out with the store manager?"

"No, don't misunderstand me, Deputy Minister. It's just that there is some curse between the ghost peddler who has just arrived in the store and me, and it takes some time to deal with it." Cao Yang said vaguely.

If this happened in real life, Cao Yanhua would not be able to hide it.

But when it comes to the supernatural, he chooses to believe Cao Yang. "You have always had your own opinions since you were a child, but if you really encounter any trouble, remember to tell me. The headquarters will not treat unfairly any hero who has given and sacrificed for the people, understand?"
