I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery
Chapter 630: A wealthy man? A thief? Pah! He is obviously a good man!
Chapter 630: A wealthy man? A thief? Pah! He is obviously a good man!
"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan! Quick, get me a room. I need to take a shower!"
The mud monkey started making a lot of noise as soon as he came in, causing the crowd, who were already excited about Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher's marriage, to turn their attention to him again.
However, these looks were not well-intentioned, but mostly dissatisfaction and ridicule.
In the Peace Hotel, not everyone can call someone "Brother Yuan". Without sufficient status (employee) and financial resources, daring to call him that is almost like seeking death.
Why does this mud monkey covered in mud do this?
However, when the mud monkey slapped the three life-saving coins on the table, everyone showed a look of surprise:
C!
Damn dog owner!
It only costs three yuan to rent a room, and even an e-sports room costs only seven yuan a night. This mud monkey charges nine yuan at once. Who else can he be but a big spender?
But there are only a few known big dog owners. Fang Shiming had just left, and Ye Zhen's whereabouts had been unknown for many years. But Ye Zhen was more concerned about his reputation and would not put himself in this state.
The headquarters has money, but they will not use it in this way, otherwise it would be misusing public resources for personal gain.
So, who could this person be?
Liu Qingqing was a little annoyed at first, but considering that the boy gave her six more dollars, she endured it. And the most important thing was that this boy... was really a big dog owner in the store, and a very powerful one.
Lin Yuan glanced at the life-saving money covered in mud and signaled Liu Qingqing to take the money.
Liu Qingqing nodded, but was obviously a little disgusted. During this moment of hesitation, a fair little hand reached out and picked up the three life-saving money without any disgust.
"Who? Who dares to take my job!"
Liu Qingqing was extremely angry, especially after she saw that the person coming was He Yuelian, her anger surged even more.
In the store today, the person she hates the most is still Tong Qian, the undercover agent and traitor, and the second person she hates the most is He Yuelian, who is on the same track as her and is trying to suppress the sincerity of the "store manager".
But He Yuelian just smiled at her, and then said to Lin Yuan: "Brother Yuan, I'll go clean up the dirt on top."
"Well, let's go."
Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction. He did not even look at Liu Qingqing's aggrieved eyes. He just smiled and said to the mud monkey: "Xiao Zhou, did you fall into the mud pit?"
"Hey! I went to collect some goods, but I ran into some trouble. I almost got stuck. So I just happened to make some money, so I came to the store."
Xiao Zhou, also known as Zhou Deng.
Even though he said it very easily, the fear in his eyes was clearly a hint of dread. It was obvious that what he had experienced before was dangerous enough, and it was definitely not as easy as he said.
But forget about complaining.
If you tell others about your suffering, you will definitely not get sympathy, but rather genuine jokes or even ridicule.
Zhou Deng was used to the ways of the world, so he naturally understood this principle.
"Okay, then go wash up first, and we'll talk later if there's anything else."
Lin Yuan gestured, and this time Liu Qingqing didn't hesitate at all. She directly took out the key to Room 215 and handed it to Zhou Deng, no longer looking down on the dirt on her body.
"Thank you."
Zhou Deng took the key and went upstairs immediately.
The rooms at the Peace Hotel are all suites, and naturally they also have bathrooms. After entering the room, the playful look on Zhou Deng's face instantly disappeared, and he became extremely pale and ugly, and even his breath became much weaker. "I hope this money is worth it, otherwise it would be a waste."
The mud on his body is not ordinary mud, but supernatural... no, it should be said to be a curse.
As a ghost thief, Zhou Deng relied on his special supernatural means, and he did not steal from the ghost handlers in the circle. After all, many of these ghost handlers now have backgrounds.
Of course, it’s not that he’s afraid of offending him, but he’s already the head of the headquarters, so he still has to have some face.
Besides, it is better to steal things from ghosts than from people... It won't cause any trouble. No ghost will go to the headquarters to complain about him stealing things, right?
Although ghosts are more dangerous than humans, it is also relative.
As a ghost thief, Zhou Deng has special means of concealment. Even in the ghost domain of evil spirits, as long as the ghosts are not particularly powerful, he can enter and exit freely.
But if you walk on the road at night for too long, you will always encounter ghosts.
This was what happened to Zhou Deng this time. He encountered a very terrifying supernatural event. He was originally aiming for a good thing, but ended up being trapped in the ghost realm.
I had agreed with Lin Yuan that I would pick up the custom-made clothes in two days, but it took me until now.
"If I had the clothes sewn by Meng Xiaodong and supervised by the store manager, I wouldn't be in the situation I am in now. Not only did I lose a lot of supernatural items, but I also suffered a big loss."
Zhou Deng walked into the bathroom with a cold face.
The layout of the bathroom is not much different from that of a normal hotel. It has many smart facilities and a large mirror so that Zhou Deng can see his appearance clearly.
There was also mud on his face, which even covered the lower half of his face. Only his nose and the upper half of his face were normal.
"Before entering the Peace Hotel, the mud was still below my neck. Fortunately, the Peace Hotel has the effect of suppressing the supernatural, otherwise I would have turned into a mud servant, just like the mud servants under the base. I thought those mud servants were fired, but now it seems that they are probably just some unlucky people."
Zhou Deng murmured softly. At this moment, his mouth was also covered with mud and he could only open it a little.
Without further hesitation, he raised his stiff arms and turned on the shower, letting the water wash over his body. The cold touch made him squint his eyes comfortably.
The originally heavy body began to feel light under the impact of the water.
The mud that could not be dug out continued to soften under the water flow, and finally flowed to the ground and slowly disappeared.
Half an hour later, Zhou Deng looked at himself in the mirror and was surprised. "I knew it. I knew it. The effect in the Peace Hotel has not been fully developed. Just like the water in the shower in the bathroom, it can wash away the curse on me."
This was actually confirmed a long time ago, when Fang Shiming entered the Peace Hotel.
At that time, the ghost scissors in Fang Shiming's hand were entangled with countless curses. It was at the point where there was a high probability that the curses that had been cut off would come back to haunt him every time he used them. However, after washing them with water in the back kitchen, all the curses that were entangled on them were washed away.
However, Fang Shiming did not tell this to anyone else, and naturally, these small effects were not discovered by others.
As a thief, Zhou Deng was best at noticing details. After cleaning himself, he walked out of the bathroom. Apart from the mud on his body being washed away, even his clothes were very dry, without any sign of being wet.
He looked around the room with twinkling eyes.
"The water in the bathroom can wash away the curse, but what about the bed? Can it repair the damaged consciousness, or even the damaged body? Meng Xiaodong and Zhang Bohua have lived here for more than a year, and they even look a lot younger. Could it be that this bed has the effect of rejuvenating people? No, I have to try it. It would be best if I could stay eighteen years old forever!"
Zhou Deng lay on the bed happily, but Lin Yuan, who had been paying attention to him, almost laughed out loud - the kind of laughter that came from anger.
"Brother Yuan, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Liu Qingqing thought that Lin Yuan was laughing because of her anger. Looking at He Yuelian who was walking towards her with three clean ghost bills, she gritted her teeth and quickly bowed her head to apologize.
Lin Yuan glanced at her, a little surprised, but did not deny it. He just said, "It's okay, just be careful next time."
"Thank you, Brother Yuan."
Liu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at He Yuelian provocatively, as if to say: Look, Brother Yuan still cares about me and won't distance himself from me because of this!
But she had no idea that Lin Yuan's mind was now focused on Zhou Deng.
Perhaps because he didn't notice any obvious effects after lying down for a while, Zhou Deng decided to try it again in the evening to see if he would be younger and more energetic tomorrow.
After all, the effect of rejuvenation is more obvious for older people. He is still young now, and it is impossible to see any effect in such a short time.
There were a lot of things in the room, and he wanted to try them one by one.
"This kid, does he really think I'm running a charity?"
Lin Yuan really didn't know what to say. If he hadn't seen that Zhou Deng's condition was really bad and he still had a lot of money to save his life, he wouldn't have enabled a convenient function for this kid.
But this kid, instead of giving back properly, wants to continue getting it for free?
Just thinking about shit!
Lin Yuan ignored the boy. After fiddling with it for a while, Zhou Deng finally realized that he had thought too much. Except for the water in the bathroom, he did not find that the other furniture had any effect.
Could it be that I really think too much?
Zhou Deng scratched his head and said to himself, "That's right. How could the store manager, who is so stingy, open so many functions for free? I guess only the bathroom functions are built-in. After all, everyone likes cleanliness. The functions of other furniture require payment, just like 'becoming a member' and purchasing special effects."
After looking at the time, Zhou Deng didn't stay in the room for long. He still had to ask Lin Yuan about the clothes he bought.
With that piece of clothing, his future business of "touch corpses" against evil spirits will be safer, and he will become a real tomb raider instead of a thief hated by everyone.
As long as you can steal the ghost's things, the more you steal, the more you earn. And if you make these things public, you can also reduce the horror of many supernatural events. Isn't this a great good?
Who knows, there may be people of the same kind who will be grateful to you, hehe!
Thinking of this, Zhou Deng was full of enthusiasm and went downstairs in two steps. "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, I have something... Hey, Brother Yuan, why do you look unhappy?"
Why does Lin Yuan look so unhappy?
For a long time, the "store manager" who is in the limelight in the eyes of outsiders has always been an ordinary person's consciousness cut out by him, and there is even the option of being stingy in his character.
In the past, he never thought there was anything inappropriate. After all, it was not all of him, and it didn't matter if you rounded it off.
But now he is personally playing the role of "store manager". It would be strange if he could be in a good mood when he hears someone complaining behind his back about being stingy.
However, seeing that Zhou Deng had provided him with a good way to make money, he was too lazy to cause trouble for him anymore. The most he could do was... ahem!
Lin Yuan regained his good mood. As for the issue of charging for the furniture and facilities in the room and opening up new functions, he would talk about it after this matter was over.
But Liu Qingqing saw his reaction and blamed herself even more:
Blame me!
These problems must not occur again in the future. I must not let Brother Yuan hate me or alienate me because of them, otherwise... I will die!
"It's okay. What did you say just now? What happened?" Lin Yuan smiled again.
Zhou Deng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lin Yuan would hold a grudge against him. Then he asked with an even brighter smile, "Last time when I went to the store to play games, I ordered a piece of clothing. I was told to pick it up when it was ready. Now it's been so long, it should be ready now, right?"
"Well, it's ready, but Granny Meng hasn't come back yet, so you wait a little longer. You're staying in the hotel anyway, so you're not in a hurry, right?" Lin Yuan said.
"No hurry, not at all." Zhou Deng replied immediately.
puff!
Who is laughing at me?
Zhou Deng was angry. Although he knew that his behavior was inconsistent with what he said, he was also trying to make a contribution to the supernatural cause of all mankind, not just to steal more supernatural items for himself.
How could something that is worthy of gratitude be laughed at?
But when he saw clearly who was making fun of him, his anger instantly disappeared. It was not that he couldn't afford to offend this person, but... there was no need to.
The person who was making fun of him was a little loli with twin ponytails and wearing a Gothic lolita skirt. Even though she was making fun of others, she looked very well-behaved and cute.
The dead monkey next to her, waving a big stick and with a pair of eyes that looked like it wanted to eat people, was extremely annoying.
look look look!
When I get a chance, I'll steal all your sticks!
snort!
Zhou Deng turned his head away, ignoring the dead monkey, otherwise he was afraid that his hands would not be able to control themselves and move... Alas, the progress of the evil spirit's revival has accelerated again, family members, who understands?
Sometimes, I really have no choice!
It was still some time before six o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Deng was very outgoing and soon started chatting with the few customers in the store. He also learned some of the most interesting things that had happened recently.
"What, Fang Shiming wants to marry the ghost messenger?"
"What? Fang Shiming has prepared several large boxes of gifts, with gold as the base and commemorative coins as the pavement?"
"Damn it, this rich man! Tomorrow, I'm going to eat his mother's food!"
