I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 565: Shen Lin's determination, the trapped traitor
Lin Yuan didn't expect that Shen Lin actually came to the store!

Speaking of which, the Peace Hotel has appeared in the headquarters' field of vision for more than a year, and Shen Lin has known about the existence of the Peace Hotel for more than half a year.

However, during the past six months, all the captain-level figures at the headquarters, including Wang Chaling, who was the most reluctant to move, had come to the store to punch in and report in, with the exception of Shen Lin.

The reasons are clear to everyone:
In every virtual game, Shen Lin would be invaded and controlled by the white fog ghost domain!
What does this mean and what is the connection between Shen Lin and the Peace Hotel Virtual Game are also the answers that the headquarters has been looking for.

Unfortunately.

Shen Lin is very powerful, and it is impossible for the headquarters to force him to the laboratory for dissection.

Even though Shen Lin cooperated for a period of time, even Wang Xiaoming was unable to find the connection between them and could only make some guesses at most.

These speculations also made Shen Lin more wary of the Peace Hotel and he dared not enter easily!

Lin Yuan originally thought that Shen Lin would never come to his shop in his life, but he didn't expect that when he wasn't paying attention, this guy actually came over.

Or are you here to play virtual games? Are you trying to verify something?

Just as Lin Yuan thought, Shen Lin came here indeed to verify it.

He had to figure out what the Peace Hotel was related to him, and whether the virtual game had borrowed his supernatural powers...

This speculation is reasonable, but also unreasonable.

The reasonable reason is that the reasons and speculations Wang Xiaoming once gave all point to his own supernatural powers, which may occupy a very important position in the creation of virtual games.

In fact, it is an indispensable position!
It was by borrowing this power that He was able to create a virtual game that goes back to the past!
The reason for the irrationality is even simpler.

His power is awe-inspiring, it completely surpasses everyone else to a level that is difficult for people to understand, and his power is similar to his words coming true, with almost comprehensive supernatural effects.

If you have enough strength and comprehensive effects, do you really need to borrow your own supernatural powers?

It’s like when the State Grid wants to build a network, it has to borrow a power bank as an indispensable platform, even if this power bank is special.

If such a situation really happens, even if it is just a guess, you will be scolded to death!

"I'm already far behind everyone else. I can't go on like this, otherwise there will be no stage for me in the future." Shen Lin looked serious.

Under Xiaoxi's guidance, they went to the e-sports room built underground.

When he passed through the light gate and came to the underground corridor full of technology, he met an acquaintance, "Professor Wang, we meet again."

"Hmm? Shen Lin? You're here too? That's great. Do you want to come to my lab and sit down?"

When Wang Xiaoming saw Shen Lin, his eyes suddenly lit up and he invited him enthusiastically.

Even though Shen Lin has become an alien, and even does not exist in reality but only in memory, he still shudders unconsciously when facing Wang Xiaoming's gaze.

"No, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Hey?"

Wang Xiaoming felt very sorry.

This is not the headquarters but the Peace Hotel. It is a pity that he cannot force a captain to cooperate with him in the experiment.

At the same time, in the lobby on the first floor, He Yuelian asked: "Brother Yuan, do you really want to play a round of virtual games for Shen Lin alone?"

She also knew about Shen Lin's speculation.

That's why she was even more curious.

"When there are guests coming to play, we naturally have to play games. But your suggestion is also good. It would be a bit of a loss to play a round of games just for Shen Lin. We need to find more people to come."

The coordinates of the Gengshen year are already stable enough, it's time to get some more important guests.

As for Shen Lin?

With the Wang Lu couple, the ghost peddler, and even Meng Xiaodong from the Gengshen year as coordinates, Shen Lin's significance to Lin Yuan is at least no longer in the Gengshen year, but on an earlier timeline.

Do you want to go back to the past?

Lin Yuan no longer has much interest in reality. Instead, the past is the era that he truly desires to explore.

Not only the Republic of China period, but also the more distant ancient times, how wonderful were those times, and what kind of terrifying and interesting existences were there?

So, Xiao Shen, you have to take care of yourself!
At the same time, the headquarters is paying close attention to the situation in Dadong City.

Liu Qingqing brought a woman who looked exactly like her but was named Zhang Youhong, and five other ghosts who were suspected to have survived from the Republic of China period to the present, and cooperated with Wang Chaling to open a new branch in Dadong City.

The Wang family is professional in this area.

The opening ceremony was very grand, and almost the entire Dadong City knew that such a hotel had opened, which also caused a lot of speculation.

After all, this hotel is not very large and can probably only accommodate dozens of people at the same time.

A small restaurant, coupled with an opening ceremony that was completely out of scale, and the presence of the Wang family from Dadong City, all these circumstances undoubtedly enhanced the fame and popularity of the Peace Hotel branch.

The most important thing is that the signature product of this branch when it opened was not a dish, but a wine called Xinjiu.

That’s all.

The pricing of this new wine is very strange. It is not cash, but one gram of gold!
One gram of gold is worth about 500 to 600 yuan according to the current market price, and this gram of gold can only buy about one or two taels of alcohol.

This price can simply be called sky-high!

And after buying the wine, you have to drink it on the spot, and then return the strange and cold bottle.

All these strange things have put the Dadong City Peace Hotel branch in the spotlight and even earned it a lot of infamy, but some people actually fell for it.

Then, he also wanted to monopolize the alcohol here.

Of course, with Wang Chaling and the Wang family in Dadong City, this idea can only be thought about and there is no soil to carry it out. However, this situation also makes people more curious.

It was not until an old man in his 90s, who was completely dependent on various instruments to survive and could no longer move, was pushed into the house of a wealthy businessman and forced to drink a small bottle of wine that everyone understood the reason.

Just because of this small bottle of wine, this old man in his nineties, with only his head still exposed, came back to life instantly.

Not to say that he became full of energy, but he could move and speak like a normal person!
With such miraculous effects, people finally understand the effect of this wine. In comparison, the price of one gram of gold is completely a conscience price, even a bargain!

For a time, the Peace Hotel branch in Dadong City was crowded with people and transaction volume continued to soar.

The headquarters had already known about the effects of the new wine, so they were not too surprised. Instead, they were a little worried because they all knew how the new wine worked.

Even though these people drank the new wine and all their diseases disappeared, the only thing missing was a severed limb being regenerated.

But this relies on supernatural power rather than real natural science and medicine. It is very likely that those who drink this wine have become his ghost slaves!

But they had no way to stop it and could only watch it happen.

"All of this should be blamed on Wang Chaling! He actually colluded with the people from the Peace Hotel. He deserves to die!"

"The Wang family has maintained the stability of Dadong City for many years, and their contributions are not small. Although their contributions do not outweigh their crimes, it is still not possible to truly prove that the new wine turns people into ghost slaves, right?"

"That's right. Li Jun and the others also drank the new wine, but they didn't become ghost slaves. Instead, their strength increased a lot. Maybe, 'He' just wants to improve the quality of the whole nation?"

"Improve the quality of the whole nation? So selfless? Do you really think He is God? Do you believe this?"

"Why not believe it? I think what he said is true. A god like him should have a kind and loving heart. After all, the more people there are, the better his restaurant business will be."

"Huh? This reason is reasonable. The more ordinary people there are, the greater the probability of ghost riders being born. In this way, the business of the Peace Hotel will be better. It seems to make sense!"

"Humph! This is just a guess!"

"It's like doubting the effect of new wine is also a kind of speculation."

"you!"

"What, do you want to fight?"

On the big screen in the conference room, the opening ceremony of the Peace Hotel branch in Dadong City was extremely lively, and the senior executives in the conference room were arguing fiercely.

Cao Yanhua has long been accustomed to this.

As Fang Shiming entered the Peace Hotel, the senior executives influenced by their circle of friends almost stopped acting and simply stood on Fang Shiming's side, or in other words, on the side of the Peace Hotel.

They were the first users of the new wine and recovered their full physical condition.

Many retirees in their 40s, 50s, or even 60s are now as energetic as 18-year-old boys. It's simply wonderful.

I don’t know if the new wine affects people’s spiritual perception of the Peace Hotel, but even if it has this therapeutic effect, it is enough for people to maintain the Peace Hotel.

Another group of people, who were skeptical and unwilling to believe in the supernatural, regarded the Peace Hotel as the biggest danger!

Cao Yanhua watched all this coldly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Deputy Minister, if we don't stop it, this meeting may continue to be noisy." Zhao Jianguo reminded in a low voice.

Cao Yanhua sneered, "Is there any need to continue this kind of meeting?"

Zhao Jianguo was speechless for a moment. These senior executives at the headquarters were no longer discussing the matter at hand, but seemed to be choosing the direction of their speeches based on their own positions.

There is really no need to continue holding a meeting that has lost its practical purpose.

only……

"From now on, keep a close eye on Wang Chaling, Zhang Youhong and her five partners, who are now the shop assistants of the Dadong City branch. Do you understand?" Cao Yanhua said in a deep voice.

Zhao Jianguo nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Deputy Minister, I will keep a close eye on them. If there is any unusual movement, we will be notified immediately."

"That's good."

Cao Yanhua rubbed his brows and said, "Now I feel more and more powerless."

As they were talking, more news came back, and the one who brought back this news was Tong Qian.

While delivering food to the Dahai City branch, she called the headquarters outside the Peace Hotel and reported on Shen Lin's situation.

"Shen Lin actually went to the Peace Hotel and wanted to play virtual games? Manager, do you want to open a virtual game just for him?"

Cao Yanhua was very surprised.

Everyone is aware of Shen Lin's rejection of the Peace Hotel. They even think that Shen Lin is the only ghost rider who will never go to the Peace Hotel.

But now, Shen Lin's actions are puzzling.

"Isn't he afraid that the store manager will take advantage of him?" Zhao Jianguo was amazed.

"According to our previous idea, Wei Jing and the others should participate in the virtual game tomorrow. After all, they still need to prepare the expenses and can't be careless. But now..."

Cao Yanhua frowned.

The cost of the virtual games at the Peace Hotel is a bit high, and even the headquarters is a bit overwhelmed to keep up with it for a long time.

Fortunately, the captains of the headquarters are all quite capable. If we give them some time, we can also imprison some ghosts to relieve the pressure on the headquarters.

But now Shen Lin's actions have disrupted the headquarters' deployment.

"Or, why not let Chen Qiaoyang keep an eye on it? After all, he is a full-time member of the headquarters and is still in the probation period. Why not treat this game as a test?" Zhao Jianguo made a suggestion.

The headquarters gave Chen Qiaoyang shelter, but did not let Chen Qiaoyang be in charge of any specific city. He was only given the title of person in charge of Dajing City.

It makes sense to let Chen Qiaoyang do something in exchange for the protection of the headquarters, doesn't it?

The most important thing.

When Chen Qiaoyang plays games, he does not spend the headquarters' resources. It is as if he has deliberately forgotten this point, or as if he does not want to have an inseparable connection with the headquarters, so he has always used his own "money".

And Chen Qiaoyang is very keen on staying in the Peace Hotel.

With the threat of Zhang Xianguang outside, Chen Qiaoyang wants to get protection from the headquarters. He may refuse some dangerous orders, but he will definitely not resist such a mission which is not dangerous.

"Okay! Let him go then."

Zhao Jianguo immediately contacted Chen Qiaoyang. Although he didn't know where Chen Qiaoyang had gone, the other party also had a satellite positioning mobile phone issued by the headquarters.

He walked out of the conference room and frowned at Xiong Wenwen, who was just taller than his waist. “What are you doing here?”

"Is it your business?"

Xiong Wenwen originally wanted to leave secretly, but after being discovered by Zhao Jianguo, she became righteous and after glaring at Zhao Jianguo, she ran away quickly.

Zhao Jianguo was a little worried.

This naughty kid wanted to run to the Peace Hotel whenever he had the chance. Even though they were guarding it tightly, he still managed to get past it several times.

Fortunately, Cao Yang had been keeping an eye on the kid and prevented him from getting into any serious trouble.

Recently, Xiong Wenwen has been clamoring to go to the Peace Hotel to play virtual games, but the headquarters has blocked her from going and she has no chance to go.

Now that this naughty kid is acting so sneaky, could he be having some new ideas?
Although Zhao Jianguo was worried, business was more important.

He first contacted Chen Qiaoyang and explained the situation. As expected, Chen Qiaoyang did not refuse. Instead, when he heard that no one else was going there, he felt even happier and agreed immediately.

Afterwards, Zhao Jianguo reported Xiong Wenwen's situation to Cao Yanhua.

"It's okay. There are no ghosts and no money to buy his life. It's useless for him to go. The rules of the Peace Hotel are for everyone, including him. He is very clear about this. Otherwise, do you really think he needs us to take him there before he can go there?"

Xiong Wenwen also has a business card of the Peace Hotel in her hand.

He could go there anytime he wanted, but without support from the headquarters and an angel investor, he would have no money to spend even if he went.

What are the consequences of eating a free meal?
Xiong Wenwen knew this very well, so he wouldn't be so cruel as to think that the "store manager" had become his mother's boyfriend and could do whatever he wanted.

On the way home, Xiong Wenwen looked like an ordinary elementary school student going home from school, except that his brows were furrowed and he looked very worried, as if his shoulders were bent by the weight of his studies.

"No, I have to find a fool who is willing to pay me, otherwise there is no way I can get through. I can't eat a free meal before we have established a formal relationship."

Ok.

As long as a relationship is established, you can eat and dine for free... No, that's not called eating and dine for free, that's living a normal life!

boom!
Xiong Wenwen was thinking when he suddenly bumped into someone with his head. The powerful force knocked him to the ground, which made him extremely angry. He immediately jumped up from the ground and said, "Who dares to bump into me, your father Xiong? Don't you want to live?"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk! No wonder you're not welcome at the headquarters, your mouth really stinks. Boy, don't think you can do whatever you want just because your ghost is special, be careful that someone else will snatch it away."

The man squatted down and stared at Xiong Wenwen with a smile on his face.

Those eyes were like a poisonous snake staring at its prey!
Xiong Wenwen was startled by the look, but she quickly recognized the person in front of her, and her fear was immediately relieved. "It's Xiao Chen, you just joined the headquarters not long ago, I won't bother with you today."

Chen Qiaoyang is a very dangerous guy, and he is out of the control of the headquarters!
Xiong Wenwen understood this, so after subconsciously taking advantage of the verbal attack, he decisively chose to take a walk. Fortunately, Chen Qiaoyang did not stop him.

Just saying this made Xiong Wenwen stop immediately, "I can help you, don't you want to be the heir to the Peace Hotel?"

Xiong Wenwen turned around and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

"It's no secret that you want to introduce your mother to Boss Lin as his girlfriend, or even get them married." Chen Qiaoyang walked over slowly, his eyes remained the same, still the eyes of a hunter catching prey, but now what he wanted to hunt seemed to be Xiong Wenwen's heart.

"The headquarters doesn't support you because the investment and return are not proportional, and they also think you can't succeed. No one is willing to invest in you, but I can. How about it, do you want to cooperate?"

Xiong Wenwen was moved.

Just as Chen Qiaoyang said, his mind has never changed, but it is not for the sake of being the heir... This is also a small reason.

He wanted to introduce Lin Yuan to his mother and bring the two of them together. His bigger reason was that he wanted to find someone to rely on for his mother before he died.

With the Peace Hotel around, death became more distant for him.

As long as there are enough resources, the Peace Hotel can help him suppress the evil spirits and revive them until they freeze, which will naturally extend his lifespan a lot, allowing him to live longer.

But he wanted Lin Yuan to be with his mother even more.

For the sake of my mother, I need a stronger support. At least now, I don’t have such a broad back to support the entire sky that my mother needs.

The expectation is small because the difficulty is so great.

He was about to give up, but now, an old guy who had lived for decades found him, with an attitude of being an experienced person and "I know everything"?
Although he didn't quite believe Chen Qiaoyang's kindness, he was still willing to listen to Chen Qiaoyang's ideas.

Chen Qiaoyang smiled brightly, "We are both marginalized people who have been excluded by the headquarters. It would be beneficial for both of us to work together. Although you are young, you should be able to understand this. As a greeting gift, come with me to the Peace Hotel. There are no other members of the headquarters today."

"Are you willing to pay me? Do you have that much money?" Xiong Wenwen was not carried away by the thought and asked a very crucial question.

Chen Qiaoyang smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes."

"Row!"

Xiong Wenwen had just agreed when she suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing. She couldn't help but yawn and murmured, "What's wrong with the weather? Isn't it summer now? Why is it so cold?"

"Because someone is playing tricks. Nie Yingping, since when has your ability been used as central air conditioning, and you even froze the children." Chen Qiaoyang said dimly.

"Ha! You knew I was coming and you didn't run away. Do you really think the headquarters can protect you?" Nie Yingping walked out from the corner.

The streets were empty at this time. It was clearly a bustling scene with people coming and going just a moment ago, but now it was as if they had come from a fantasy into reality and disappeared without a trace.

Nie Yingping's skin was frostbitten, but he was unaware of it. He just stared coldly at Chen Qiaoyang, with the broken and missing rattle in his hand.

Chen Qiaoyang said, "This is Dajing City. If you use the power of the ghost realm on such a large scale, I'm afraid the headquarters will have to send people over soon. If I were you, I wouldn't be so bold. After all, without Zhang Xianguang, how could you, a bunch of rubbish, be my opponent?"

Nie Yingping narrowed his eyes, but he was not angry. "Oh, I really was underestimated!"

"Chen, Xiao Chen..."

Xiong Wenwen suddenly spoke, her voice trembling, "Run, run! It's dangerous here!"

what?
Chen Qiaoyang's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he grabbed Xiong Wenwen and rushed directly out of the ghost realm. Nie Yingping did not stop him, but just looked at them coldly.

After just two steps, Chen Qiaoyang stopped and said with an unpleasant expression: "Zhang! Xian! Guang!"
