I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 694 Picking up girls under orders
"This is good news. At least it means that Zhang Jun was not killed here. As long as he is alive, he can contact us when he finds an opportunity."

Li Jun's words make a lot of sense, but the possibility is not high.

Losing equipment during a paranormal event and being out of contact for an extended period of time—combined with these factors, the chances of survival are extremely low.

But as long as the body hasn't been found, there's still a glimmer of hope; it can only be described as a loss of contact.

In the paranormal community, there are cases where people disappear for several months before reappearing, so this explanation is perfectly plausible; it just can't mask the heavy feelings everyone has.

The Ghost Church incident has now come to a complete end.

Seeing that there was nothing amusing to watch, Lin Yuan had no intention of staying any longer. "Old Zhuang, I'll talk to Xiao Wang when we get back and have him come over and set up the directional teleportation portal."

Currently, Wang Xiaoming has become a professor of Western medicine and chief scientist at the Peace Hotel.

Lin Yuan put all sorts of things on Wang Xiaoming's head, such as time travel equipment, devices to maintain the existence of characters from other dimensions, and memory transmitters.

Adding another technology for directional teleportation wouldn't be a big deal.

On the contrary, Wang Xiaoming would not feel that this was a hardship, the kind of work with increased workload but no increase in salary. On the contrary, he would be very excited and would happily accept it.

The reason is simple: as long as these titles are attached to him, he will have the authority to research the relevant "technology," which is the greatest reward for him.

"Okay, boss, why don't you stay a few more days?" The manor owner reluctantly tried to persuade him to stay.

As a top-notch sheepdog, it naturally needs to have a good attitude towards its owner, and it also genuinely wants to demonstrate its abilities.

By becoming the "store manager," he can understand his situation and acknowledge his status as the chief sheepdog, instead of the current situation where it's mostly just his self-proclaimed title.

"Let's talk about it another time. I still have some things to take care of when I get back. I hope the environment here will be better next time I come."

Lin Yuan patted the manor owner on the shoulder and then turned to leave.

The manor owner stared at Lin Yuan's retreating figure with reverence and said loudly, "Please rest assured, boss, I will definitely fulfill your expectations and transform this place into a paradise, so that everyone can come to the store with peace of mind!"

On the plane, Li Jun's face was ashen, but he did not tell Yang Jian or Li Leping what he was thinking.

The team leader at headquarters may not be entirely loyal to headquarters and may have their own agenda, but they should be aligned on the external stance.

Li Jun sized up Yang Jian and Li Leping, and seeing that their expressions weren't too good, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a voice that Lin Yuan couldn't hear, "What do you think of the King's Organization?"

Yang Jian coldly replied, "A formidable enemy!"

“A mortal enemy!” Li Leping added two words.

Li Jun felt a little more relaxed. "That's right, especially this manor owner, he's shameless, practically begging to be the shopkeeper's dog... But if it were me, I would also be very satisfied with such a person. Gentlemen, we'll face even more challenges in the future, after all, we're still on the path to godhood."

"There's something I don't understand. Why would a king like the manor lord treat the shopkeeper this way? Just because the shopkeeper has incomprehensible and terrifying strength, does that mean he's a god? The news of the path to godhood shouldn't have spread overseas." Yang Jian was very puzzled.

Li Leping said, “They are different from us. When faced with natural disasters and man-made calamities, we prefer to solve them with our own hands, and at most we might pay homage to our ancestors. But it’s different abroad; they prefer to pray for divine salvation. So, the manor owner probably thinks the same way.”

Is that so?

Yang Jian was unaware of the situation abroad, but after hearing Li Leping's words, he felt that there was some truth to it. However, "This is the most troublesome thing. First there was the manor owner, and then there's that projectionist? Judging from the situation, it's clearly a situation of having a second manor owner. If we really have a king who's a dog to the shopkeeper, our competitiveness will drop sharply."

"Then what do you suggest we do? Are you suggesting we do the same thing?" Li Jun was getting angry.

He has no desire to get involved in being someone's dog, and has never had the habit of being someone's dog.

Yang Jian said, "That's not necessary. If we just have this attitude, the shopkeeper might not take it very seriously. What he cares about more is the path to godhood. As long as we can play a significant role, no matter how much the manor owner and the others lower their stance, they can't possibly beat us. In the end, it all comes down to demonstrating our effectiveness."

"Let's have a good talk when we get back. Everyone needs to know about this." Li Jun rubbed his temples, looking very tired.

The group spoke softly, but they were only wary of the "shop manager," not him.

So Lin Yuan listened to their conversation openly and honestly through the Ghost Domain, and was quite satisfied. "Roll it up, only by rolling it up can you be a good captain and a good king."

When I returned to China, it was daytime again.

Fortunately, with his strong supernatural powers, Lin Yuan did not feel the effects of the continuous jet lag and still appeared energetic.

Back at the Peace Hotel, even though it was already mid-morning, it was still bustling and thriving.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer number of robots coming and going from the directional teleportation portal in ZS City to the Caesars Hotel is enormous.

The supply of new wine is needed to meet the needs of four cities: Dahai City, Dadong City, Dachang City, and Dayuan City, as well as the upcoming branch in Da Niu City and the several franchise stores that Zhang Xianguang has already opened. The quantity of new wine required is very high.

Fortunately, the Caesars Hotel is currently not short of materials. When the tall male corpse, Li Qingzhi, was chopping down ghosts with a rusty machete, he had many robot assistants, making the process very efficient.

What's most absurd is that quite a few people stayed at the shop entrance, circling around the starving ghost, Old Hua, and the knocking ghost, Old Hei.

It seems they're clearly trying to take advantage of them, gain their approval, and have a partner who can help them dominate the area after get off work.

But these people clearly didn't get away with it, especially since Old Black and Old Flower each had two small mountains of bones in front of them.

Compared to the scattered bones in their hands, the difference was significant, and the damage was much greater. At least during this short break, Lao Hei and Lao Hua leisurely gnawed on the mountain of bones, paying no attention to the scattered ones.

But the five or six people standing nearby didn't care at all and continued to take care of him warmly.

Aside from not daring to touch them or the small mountain of bones, they were also clearly hostile to each other, wishing they could kill each other.

Seeing this, Guo Fan suddenly said, "I'm a little confused for a moment about who's the dog. Hmm, the lapdog."

puff!

Seeing everyone looking over, Ah Hong quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. I have a very low threshold for laughter. Don't mind me, really."

"Alright, Xiao Guo, I'll give you half a day off. Go and rest, or you can go find Lao Li."

To prevent Guo Fan from being sacked after get off work, Lin Yuan kept his promise from New York City and let the kid rest.

Guo Fan didn't want to rest; he wanted to stay by Lin Yuan's side.

Because he knew very well that in his current state, if he wanted to grow up again, he had no choice but to cling to Lin Yuan's coattails. Whether he sought out Old Hua or Old Hei as animal companions, or followed Fang Shiming's example and found a tall male corpse to control and gain power through marriage, nothing could compare to gaining the "shopkeeper's" favor.

Seeing that the four or five people who had been teasing the dog were now staring at him with murderous eyes, he couldn't help but swallow hard, and then forced a smile and said, "Okay, Brother Yuan, I'll go see if there's anything I can do to help Old Li."

"Go."

After seeing Guo Fan off, Lin Yuan returned to the store.

At this time, none of the four chefs in the shop were there except for Tong Qian. No one knew what they were busy with. However, it was a rule set by Lin Yuan that they could rest during their free time, so he wouldn't say anything or contradict himself.

"Xiao Tong, greet the others."

After calling Tong Qian over, Lin Yuan entered the underground Endless Graveyard Nanotechnology Experiment Base through a small door and found Wang Xiaoming, who was busy at work.

"Professor Wang, what recent achievements have you made?"

Lin Yuan exchanged pleasantries. In fact, he was fully aware of Wang Xiaoming's achievements, since this was his territory.

With the "technology" provided by Lin Yuan, Wang Xiaoming managed to create some things by working backwards, but none of them could be mass-produced and required the supernatural support of the Peace Hotel.

Therefore, Lin Yuan didn't care much.

Wang Xiaoming knew this too. He didn't want to embarrass himself before he produced a satisfactory work. After learning Lin Yuan's purpose, he said with shining eyes, "Okay, I'll go build a directional teleportation portal for Da Niu City right now."

"Well, I can rest assured that you are doing the work."

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, Wang Xiaoming ran out. His efficiency was something that an ordinary person who couldn't control a vengeful spirit could not achieve.

The speed of the movement not only made Lin Yuan laugh, but also greatly surprised Yang Jian and the others.

"Was it Wang Xiaoming who ran out just now?" Yang Jian's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Li Jun hesitated and said, "I think so, anyway, it looks quite similar."

Yes, it looks quite similar, but whether it's actually true or not is quite doubtful, because Wang Xiaoming used to be just an ordinary person, even a bit weaker than the average person.

But Wang Xiaoming just now could totally win the world sprint championship.

Of course, this is without the participation of a ghost tamer, and there is a high probability that they can achieve a ranking, or even make history.

"Let's talk about it when we get back. There are too many things to worry about right now," Li Jun sighed.

He felt incredibly preoccupied throughout the day.

It wasn't because of jet lag, but because of the events that occurred that forced him to take them seriously and put more thought into them.

It happens to be the kind of problem that can't be solved in a short time, or even that there are no effective solutions available.

After joining the Peace Hotel, Wang Xiaoming remained largely unchanged from before, except for his loyalty to the Peace Hotel and his refusal to do anything detrimental to it.

Including conducting research.

Previously, Wang Xiaoming conducted research at the Ping An Technology Building, not at the headquarters' own research base, so there's really nothing to say about that.

But now, Wang Xiaoming has shown abilities completely different from ordinary people. Is the current Wang Xiaoming still the same Wang Xiaoming as before?

"Let's talk about it when we get back. Let's take care of business first."

Hearing Yang Jian say this, Li Jun nodded and looked down at the wish sticker in his hand.

This is a supernatural wish-granting cat!

Whether you're looking for a person, a ghost, a supernatural object, or simply asking for information, you can achieve your goals with the Wish Cat.

Of course, this is all within the range of the Wish-Granting Cat's power.

Li Jun always carried a few commemorative coins—money to save lives—which came in handy now. He wrote a few words on the wish sticker with a pen:
Tell me Zhang Jun's current location.

Then, he stuffed the wish sticker into the mouth of the lucky cat, but it was quickly spat out, and no new words appeared on it.

Clearly, the wish failed.

However, Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhang Jun must be trapped in some supernatural place, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten this result."

It was a so-so result, but at least it was much better than learning that Zhang Jun was dead.

Since the wish was not fulfilled, there was no need to repay it. After confirming that the lucky cat could not find Zhang Jun, Li Jun, Ah Hong, Yang Jian, and Li Leping quickly returned to reality.

The situation in Greater New York City and the King's Organization should be reported as soon as possible.

They were the first to contact the Peace Hotel; they couldn't let the King Organization steal their home, could they?
There was still some time before noon, so Lin Yuan went back to the third floor to rest for a while, especially to take a look at the development situation in various places, and finally his gaze fell on the Caesars Hotel.

Guo Fan was "ordered to pick up girls," but this "order" wasn't that forceful, since it wasn't a "marriage decree."

Therefore, Li Qingzhi completely ignored Guo Fan's arrival, especially since a beautiful paper doll accompanied him throughout the process of making the new wine.

Guo Fan is completely an outsider here.

Fortunately, thanks to the "store manager's" arrangements, he wasn't chopped down by Li Qingzhi.

"That Guo is such a disappointment."

Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly. He still wanted Guo Fan to stand up for himself. After all, although the kid had a rebellious streak, as long as his strength did not surpass his, he would be absolutely loyal.

That's a good point.

Just as he was wondering whether he should lend a hand, a few more guests arrived on the first floor. After seeing this person, Lin Yuan recalled the time and got up to go downstairs. "Old Zhang, what brings you here today?"
