Chapter 174 Young people just have fun
Was the water flowing?
Liu Qingqing blinked, "Brother Yuan, do you think that boy Zhou Deng has great potential? But I always feel that he is just a poor guy, he shouldn't have much money, right?"
Lin Yuan shook his head, "You are wrong. His treasure hunter rat is very good. If he hadn't met mine, If so, we will definitely buy him a lot of treasures. And he is interested in the food and goods in our store. After getting the treasures, what we have to do is to ensure the potential of the products in the store. I keep getting treasures from him.”
It’s also a bit emotional to say.
Several rich people came to the store before, but Xu Feng was proven to be a fake rich man, showing off with fake money. That is to say, when he met him, he only left the piranha raised by Xu Feng and drove him away. Gone.
If he is caught by the police, he may lose his job.
(Xu Feng, who has turned into a corpse: Thank you!)
There is also the performance artist Gorilla Zhang Xianguang with a chain around his neck. When he first came here, he was really aggressive. It was generous, but later on it was not strong enough.
It’s like brushing up a big tycoon on a female anchor once on a live streaming platform. She was immediately pulled and unable to continue brushing her.
Zhang Xianguang obviously spent his family's money to have a good meal. He doesn't have the strength to continue to be generous, so he can only come here to try new things occasionally.
At the same time, he still has a good reputation. He always invites Yang Xiaotian’s robot over for dinner, which is just a shame.
In short, there is no stable customer source in the hotel, the customer flow is not large, and there are no regular customers. It is really difficult to develop.
The advertisement on the ghost bus is one of Lin Yuan’s expectations.
I didn’t even forget to steal things when I escaped... Bah! Zhou Deng, who was on a treasure hunt, was even more anticipated by Lin Yuan.
...
Zhongjiang City, this city is not very eye-catching. It is a very ordinary city, so ordinary that it is not even mentioned in the headquarters' files.
Because there is no person in charge in this city, and no supernatural events have occurred, many people subconsciously ignore it.
But there is a Chinese medicine shop located on a street in the old town of Zhongjiang City. This Chinese medicine shop has been around for a long time. It seems that this Chinese medicine shop has been opened since the day this street appeared. Here, its existence is the childhood memory of many elderly residents.
It seems that if this street is missing this Chinese medicine shop, everything will become meaningless.
There is a bus stop at the entrance of the street. The platform is very old, and even the fonts on the bus route signs are a bit blurry. There is no one waiting here, and it looks very deserted.
At this moment, the bus horn sounded.
The ghost bus broke through the boundaries from the supernatural place and appeared on this bus station, with the front and rear doors opening at the same time.
Zhou Deng suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the familiar scenery outside, and said in surprise: "Is this back to reality? After experiencing the Peace Hotel, the evil ghost in me was actually suppressed to the extreme, and there is no need for ghosts for the time being. The bus is here to suppress the ghost's resuscitation, should I get off? That's weird! Although the ghost bus is dangerous, there are many treasures. If you don't steal more treasures, you won't be able to pay for the food next time you go to the Peace Hotel!"
Thinking of the food at the Peace Hotel, Zhou Deng felt like his mouth was watering.
Although he lost a face mask, compared with supernatural items, the improvement of his own supernatural strength is fundamental, and the upper limit of the ghosts he can now attack is also higher.
The scarecrows, old houses, and cemeteries we encountered before seem to be worth a visit.
When I get the supernatural items, I will go to the Peace Hotel to eat to strengthen my supernatural power, then I will steal more things, and then go to the Peace Hotel to eat again.
The cycle goes on like this, and one day his supernatural power will become terrifyingly powerful, and then... he will steal the Peace Hotel!
Thinking of this scene, Zhou Deng felt happy, but with a casual glance, he noticed the Chinese medicine shop not far away.
The old streets look out of place with the nearby modern high-rise buildings. The bluestone bricks, whose edges have been smoothed over time, bear witness to the development of the city.
The old Chinese medicine shop is located in the best location in this street.
Everything is old, but the signboard of the Chinese medicine shop is new, as if it had just been replaced not long ago. The nearby old city has been demolished a lot. According to this progress, there will be no more than five In the year, this last piece of the old city will have to be demolished. By then, this street will also disappear into the urban changes, and all the truths and stories will be buried.
It was not too late for Zhou Deng to arrive. After all, this Chinese medicine shop is still there and has not disappeared.
As a ghost controller, and a ghost controller whose supernatural power is not weak, Zhou Deng’s eyesight is also extremely outstanding, and he can clearly see everything around the old Chinese medicine shop:
There are traditional old-fashioned snack bars on both sides of the street, as well as some out-of-place milk tea shops. The decoration and style inside can all be seen clearly.
Only in this old Chinese medicine shop, there seemed to be an invisible force blocking his sight, making it impossible for him to see everything inside clearly, not even the outline clearly.
"This is... a supernatural place? No, no, it should be because of the supernatural power. But the supernatural power has not been leaked. It should not be that the evil ghost has revived, but that there is a ghost controller running a medicine shop here?"
Zhou Deng was not afraid, but showed a Silk said happily, "I didn't expect there to be such a hidden place in this city, but it's about to be demolished, and the things inside probably won't be sold. Maybe I can find some treasures."
Take a look. Time, four and a half minutes before the normal start, Zhou Deng quickly got out of the car.
"It's a bluestone road again." Zhou Deng complained as he passed quickly. He didn't have much time and didn't have time to waste here. He quickly arrived at the door of the Chinese medicine shop.
Even when he reached the door, he couldn't see in.
"It doesn't look like a supernatural place, nor does it look like a ghost realm. Is it a manifestation of some kind of supernatural power? Forget it, it's the same anyway."
Zhou Deng's body A cold and ominous aura emerged, and soon, a pack of Chinese medicine appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Forehead!
Chinese medicine?
"Is it really a Chinese medicine shop? But this thing must be useful, just take it to the 'store manager' to see if it is valuable."
Zhou Deng once again used his supernatural power. , but this time it didn’t go well.
As if he had been hit by a car, Zhou Deng groaned and took a few steps back before he could stop. He suppressed the surging blood in his chest with a look of horror on his face, and stared at the Chinese medicine shop warily. , but was already ready for a walk, and the human skin mask was held in the palm of his hand.
"Young people are always so dissatisfied."
An old man who looked like an old Chinese medicine doctor walked out slowly with a cane. He was wearing sunglasses, was blind, and had age spots on his face. , the body is extremely thin, and the whole person exudes a lifeless aura. You can even vaguely smell some rotting corpse odor, but this corpse odor is covered by a stronger smell of Chinese medicine. It is not a careful person. Can't tell the difference at all.
This old man was followed by a woman in her thirties, plump and graceful, with fair skin and a cold temperament.
Zhou Deng chuckled, "Young people should be more cheeky when facing their elders. You can't let your elders speak first about everything, right?"
The woman snorted coldly: " Smooth-talking guy, this packet of medicine was given to you by grandpa, take it and get out of here, it’s a sneaky thing, it’s disgusting to look at.”
Zhou Deng is still smiling, but his eyes have become cold, "Beauty, you have to pay the price for talking nonsense."
"Why, you still want to do something?"
The woman is not afraid at all. , but looked over more provocatively. This look of wanting to be beaten made Zhou Deng clenched his fists, but he quickly released them, put on a playful smile and said: "How could it be? No matter how bad I am, I will never fight." Woman!"
The woman frowned, and just as she was about to continue her argument, the old man smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaoru, this young man is pretty good."
He was called. Xiaoru, a mature woman, obviously respected the old man, so she did not continue talking.
The old man then looked at Zhou Deng, "That pair of traditional Chinese medicine is used to alleviate the resurgence of evil ghosts. You are in good condition, so you shouldn't need it for the time being. But be prepared. Since you got it, I'll give it to you. The future is yours." . ”
“Hey!”
Zhou Deng smiled, walked a few steps with his back to the old man and the woman, then turned around and quickly ran onto the ghost bus.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to his seat.
"The old man looks like he is about to die, but he gives off a strong sense of threat. He is probably from his hometown in a previous era..."
Zhou Deng couldn't finish his words because he saw another old woman walking out of the Chinese medicine shop.
The old woman was holding a vegetable basket in her hand. The vegetable basket was covered with a piece of floral cloth, and one corner was lifted, revealing the head of a stuffed doll.
The direction of the puppet's head is facing Zhou Deng's side. A pair of dark eyes are made of an unknown material, but they reveal a strong malice.
"That was a terrifying ghost, but it was put in the vegetable basket, that old woman..."
Bah!
The ghost bus started up, breaking the boundary between reality and the supernatural, and disappeared without a trace soon after leaving the platform.
“Young people in this era are quite interesting. A ghost bus is so fancy, but the Peace Hotel is the hotel you mentioned, right?”
Old Man Look at the old woman, or rather at Meng Xiaodong.
Meng Xiaodong nodded, "You're right, but I didn't expect that the 'store manager' would be so interesting and actually put the advertisement on the ghost bus."
"Haha Haha! As a young man, you have ideas and the ability to realize them, so it’s normal for you to be arrogant. But since you said that this hotel can rejuvenate you, I will definitely go and check it out when I have time. After all, I don’t want to be an old man. If you die so soon, you should at least see a glimmer of hope so that you won’t have any regrets.”
Meng Xiaodong nodded and said to the dark, empty-looking shop: "I'm afraid your plan will not succeed so easily."
After a brief silence, a plain voice sounded in the darkness: "Everything depends on human effort."
