Chapter 258 Game Balance Mechanism, Blind Date Plan
Mentioning the ghost, Li Leping’s calm pupils flashed with an unspeakable emotion, “That ghost is terrifying, it occupies the starving ghost body, and then... I died in an unknown way. Even though I controlled four ghosts, I didn't even have the chance to use my supernatural power. "
"How is that possible? "
< br>Li Leping's situation has been well documented at the headquarters, especially the Forgotten Ghost controlled by Li Leping, which can forget even death, and is simply a bug-level existence.
But even the Forgotten Ghost couldn't survive in the hands of that ghost?
"Didn't we agree to lower the difficulty? You first separated the four of us and then brought out such a terrifying ghost. Are you really not playing tricks on us?"
Cao Yang refrained from yelling, but he was also very rude. He was obviously angry to a certain extent.
Li Leping glanced at him, "This is the store manager's game, and it's still in the closed beta stage. Even if the game is unbalanced, it can be explained away. What, you still want to argue with the store manager?"< br>
Cao Yang said helplessly: "What theory? Let's go eat and make up for the state of death in the game this time. But this time it was a big loss!"
"Did you lose it? ? No, don't forget, we also got the ghost stove. Just a ray of fire can reach a balance with Zhang Lei's ghost. The remaining ghost stove is still there, whether it is for research or to find other ghosts. It’s a good choice to make a balance.”
Cao Yang glanced at the ghost stove on the ground, and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Do you think it is because our gains this time are too great, so the game has become so difficult? After all, who said that the balance of the game is only Can it be limited to the game?"
Zhang Lei said in surprise: "You mean that the store manager is deliberately balancing our strength?"
"It's possible, isn't it?"
Cao Yang asked back, Zhang Lei didn't know how to answer for a while, but Li Leping stood up directly, "Let's go eat, and take a look at Xiong Wenwen by the way. This guy always wants to introduce his girlfriend to the store manager. , don’t annoy the store manager, that will be a big trouble.”
Cao Yang glanced at him and said, “The store manager has extraordinary patience with that child, and he is even willing to go on a blind date, and he can do it. Annoyed? I think you just want to watch the fun.”
Li Leping asked back: "You don't want to watch the fun?"
Cao Yang: "Haha! Let's go! Don't miss the show then!"
"Wait, I'm a ghost Bring the stove."
Zhang Lei picked up the body bag and packed the ghost stove. The material inside was gold and ordinary cloth. Even though the ghost stove burned very vigorously, it was safely contained. Put it in.
Carrying the body bag, Zhang Lei followed Cao Yang and Li Leping downstairs.
When I was still on the stairs, I heard Xiong Wenwen's voice, which was obviously very immature, but full of bewitching meaning:
"Brother Yuan, let me tell you, my mother has also learned it over the years. She has a lot of knowledge in business management. If you stay with her, you can hire a general manager or CEO for free. Not only can she help you manage the hotel for free, but she can also help you keep your bed warm at night. What a great thing. You think so?"
Cao Yang, Li Leping, and Zhang Lei looked at each other and saw the absurdity and speechlessness in each other's eyes.
When they walked downstairs, Lin Yuan also saw them. He immediately stood up and said with a smile: "You guys are up. How did you play the game last night? It must be a good experience. Look at you all. It’s almost noon to wake up so late.”
It’s almost noon?
Cao Yang smiled, ignored Xiong Wenwen's murderous look, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, the experience is quite good at the beginning, but the boss at the back is too difficult to beat. It would be better if the difficulty can be lowered. "
"Is that so?"
Lin Yuan glanced at Li Leping and Zhang Lei. They both had the same view, but Lin Yuan still kept his eyes on Zhang Lei. .
That look, how should I put it, is like a normal person looking at a pervert.
Hmm...
Zhang Lei was a little panicked. He knew this was the Peace Hotel, so he didn't cover up the burnt red skin on his body. Now that the "store manager" saw him like this, he felt uneasy:
There will be no problem. Bar?
"Brother Yuan, is there something wrong with Zhang Lei?" Cao Yang came to the rescue.
Lin Yuan looked away awkwardly and said with a smile: "No, no, it's just that I have never seen tattoos all over the body, even the face."
Tattoos ?
Everyone looked again, and sure enough they found that Zhang Lei's skin had changed. It was no longer the weird red color of a fire burning in his body, but turned into a similar pattern, which was tattooed on his skin. Look. Although it was weird going up, it felt much more normal.
It's just a little...well, different.
At least no one would have tattoos on their face, or even under their fingernails.
Zhang Lei also noticed his changes and shook his head with a wry smile. It was not that he couldn't accept it, but Lin Yuan's next words made him confused about how to answer:
"Officer Zhang, Do you allow tattoos in your team, or full body tattoos? ”
Zhang Lei: "..."
Having controlled a ray of ghost furnace fire, he is about to be expelled from the team?
Cao Yang interrupted: "Brother Yuan, I'm a little hungry after playing games all night last night. We want to eat something quickly to fill our stomachs."
Hearing that there is money to be made, Lin Yuan He immediately lost interest in Zhang Lei, "Okay, you can go order from He Yuelian's place. Remember, you have to pay first."
"Understood, brother Yuan, don't worry, we won't eat Overlord’s meal.”
Cao Yang waved his hand, and when passing by the Eight Immortals table next to him, he picked up Xiong Wenwen who was looking askance at people, "Let's go and order food."
"Put me down! Brother Yuan, help me!"< br>
Xiong Wenwen struggled violently, but unfortunately, it was of no use.
As for Lin Yuan?
He looked at Xiong Wenwen and Cao Yang with a smile and said with emotion: "Your relationship is so good. If you don't know, you would think you are half brothers."
Cao Yang stumbled and almost fell out, "Brother Yuan, you really know how to joke."
He's a half-brother.
How about you want to go on a blind date with Xiong Wenwen’s mother, and then let yourself call you dad?
Watching several people ordering food, Lin Yuan turned around and went up to the third floor, and then came down quickly, but this time he had a plastic bucket in his hand. In the bucket was a pile of soil and a small shovel.
“Brother Yuan, where are you going?”
Liu Qingqing came up and asked curiously.
Lin Yuan gestured: "Go and see what's going on over there at the fish pond, and see how to make the bait. Aren't you busy now?"
"Tong Qian is in the kitchen. , I'm busy. Brother Yuan, let me go with you, don't make you tired."
Liu Qingqing took the plastic bucket from Lin Yuan's hand.
Lin Yuan did not refuse. He did not feel guilty at all about letting the beautiful woman do hard work. Instead, he smiled like a capitalist and said, "Okay, let's go then."
"Okay."
Liu Qingqing did not feel that she was being squeezed, and happily followed Lin Yuan out of the hotel door.
He Yuelian handed the registered menu to Xiao An, and Xiao An went to the kitchen to hand it to Tong Qian. She suddenly said to Xiong Wenwen: "If your mother really comes here, she is an ordinary person, so you are not afraid. In the end, he became a human being and a ghost?"
Anyway, the "store manager" has left, so everyone no longer needs to be secretive when talking.
Xiong Wenwen curled his lips disdainfully, "Don't think that you can tell me what to do if you and I are in class with the same teacher. What about ordinary people? What about you and Liu Qingqing? When you came in Aren't we just ordinary people, now? Although I am young, I know very well that it is impossible to survive in this world without paying some price, no matter what the price is. It’s worth it, isn’t it?”
"You kid, you talk one thing after another. But you don't believe in the headquarters or us in charge. Dajing City is so safe, why do you have to send your mother to the Peace Hotel?" Cao Yang asked .
Xiong Wenwen sneered and said: "Safe? Xiao Cao, give it to your daddy...tell me carefully, where is it safe in Dajing City? Jiang Shangbai and He Tianxiong set out to destroy Ping An for their own selfish purposes under the blue sky and broad daylight. The entire building has been wiped out. If you hadn't gone quickly, who knows what the trouble would have been and how many people would have been injured. What do you call this safety?"
What else does Cao Yang want to say? , but Xiong Wenwen didn't want to listen at all, "You guys go eat, I'm going to see what Brother Yuan is doing. This may be my home from now on, I have to get to know it well."
This time , Cao Yang did not stop him and allowed Xiong Wenwen to leave.
Since he had already paid the money, the security apprentice Guo Fan had no reason to stop him. He just looked at Xiong Wenwen’s back, which made him fall into deep self-doubt:
"I have worked hard, but I can only work as a security guard, and I am also a substitute. But this little kid Xiong Wenwen actually wants to become the young owner of the Peace Hotel? Is this gap too big? I Mom...forget it, it's a pity that I don't have a beautiful sister who studies business administration!"
"Brother Yuan, wait for me, what are you going to do?"
Xiong Wenwen trotted after him, curiously looking at the bucket in Liu Qingqing's hand and the soil in the bucket.
As a child, he couldn't stop his curiosity and stretched out his hand to grab the soil inside. But there was nothing wrong with this, and he saw that the soil actually climbed up along with his hand.
What’s even more terrifying is that Xiong Wenwen can clearly feel it.
As the soil climbed up, the ghosts in his body were greatly affected and began to stir, but were strongly suppressed.
It’s this soil!
Not only that, the soil on his body... grew rapidly, yes, it grew.
It continues to grow as if there is life. If it continues like this, it will probably turn into a small mound and bury Xiong Wenwen before long.
By then, this will be a small graveyard!
Xiong Wenwen was so frightened that he almost cried, "Brother Yuan, help me!"
"It's just some relatively sticky soil, what are you calling it?"
Lin Yuan helplessly put Xiong Wenwen's He pulled his hand out and patted his hand again. The soil that had been clinging to Xiong Wenwen's arm instantly fell back into the bucket. Xiong Wenwen hid beside Lin Yuan as if he was frightened, looking at the bucket of soil in fear, and his heartbeat accelerated countless times.
“It’s obviously just some dirt, but it’s also a ghost? It scares the baby to death!”
Lin Yuan glanced at him and suddenly felt that it was a good thing for this naughty kid to be frightened a little, so as not to be out of tune all day long.
If it weren’t for the fact that the child was dying soon and was unwilling to undergo biotechnology surgery to become a baby gorilla, he really wouldn’t be so doting on this naughty child.
Liu Qingqing was also a little surprised.
She knew that the soil was unusual before, but she didn’t expect it to be so weird. “Brother Yuan, what’s going on with this soil?”
“These soils, I picked them up from debris. It was found in the corner of the room. It seems that I brought it back when I went to your house for the first time. I can’t remember the details.”
Lin Yuan rubbed his head.
His amnesia is really annoying. Fortunately, he has basically not been sick recently, which means he doesn't have to worry so much.
Otherwise, if there really is a second personality like Zhang Bohua said, wouldn’t it be schizophrenia? It’s simply terrifying!
So during this period of time, Lin Yuan could not go out without going out. He found out that he only developed this symptom after going out. When this symptom first appeared, it was the first time he went out. That time at Liu Qingqing's house.
This bucket of soil was also brought back at that time.
It's just that Lin Yuan didn't pay much attention to it until recently. His amnesia became more and more serious and the fish pond needed bait. He dug out the bucket of soil from the corner and remembered that there was such a thing.
Liu Qingqing suddenly glanced at the high heels on her feet, and at the same time thought of someone:
The first person in charge of Dachang City, Feng Quan!
At that time, Liu Qingqing returned home to drive the ghost cheongsam. As a result, Cao Yang and Tong Qian overturned the car there and asked the "store manager" to come over and help.
As a result, the "store manager" went and was lured to Huanggang Village by the red high heels, and captured the two ghosts in Feng Quan's body who were hiding in the ghost coffin.
Liu Qingqing had been at home in Dahan City at the time and did not know what was happening in Huanggang Village.
But...
Remember the red high heels, when she got Lin Yuan’s answer, some memories appeared in her mind, the most conspicuous of which was the pair of shoes The red high heels of Ghost Zone.
Well, it’s the pair she’s wearing on her feet.
"Feng Quan, the first person in charge of Dachang City? Judging from the picture, he controlled two ghosts, a mist-like ghost, and the grave soil. Now that the grave soil appears, then and that Where’s the foggy ghost? Isn’t it still in the store?”
Doubts were doubts, and Liu Qingqing did not delve into them.
No matter where Feng Quan's ghost is used, it has nothing to do with her. After all, in the Peace Hotel, no matter how powerful the ghost is, he can only keep a low profile to the "store manager", otherwise he will It will be put on the table and eaten by the ghost masters who come to the store and can afford "money".
The distance of a hundred meters was quickly covered, and He Yin'er was sitting on the small chair on the right side of the door with a sad look on his face.
In front of her were ten fishing poles and several boxes of fishing bait. When she saw Lin Yuan and the others approaching, she quickly stood up and said, "Brother Yuan, Qingqing, are you here?"
< br>Before Lin Yuan and Liu Qingqing could answer, Xiong Wenwen jumped up, "Hey! Didn't you see me, Father Xiong..."
He Yin'er glanced over, and the strong sense of oppression instantly made Xiong Wenwen shut up and hide behind Lin Yuan. At the same time, he couldn't help but whisper: "These women are too scary. If my mother comes here, what will happen?" You won't be bullied badly?"
Ignoring this naughty kid's nonsense, Lin Yuan motioned to Liu Qingqing to bring the bucket over, "Try this soil to see if you can raise earthworms. If you can, you can be considered self-sufficient. "
The baits that Lin Yuan sent before were all redeemed from the "Gold Finger" and were a one-time deal.
After digging out this pile of soil, Lin Yuan came up with the idea of self-sufficiency. Of course, whether it can be effective or not, He Yin'er still needs to experiment well.
"Okay, Brother Yuan, I will try my best." He Yin'er agreed quickly, her voice a little low.
If the performance is not good, I have no confidence!
Lin Yuan patted her shoulder and encouraged: "Don't worry, the market economy is now depressed, there are not many people who like fishing, and very few come to the store to eat, waiting for the fish pond After his reputation is established, the business will definitely get better."
Seeing He Yin'er being so cautious, Lin Yuan did not stay long so as not to put too much pressure on He Yin'er.
After returning to the store, Lin Yuan found some strange customers and couldn't help but laugh: "After more than a month, the business has finally picked up."
Cao Yanghe Li Leping and Zhang Lei are also eating vegetables. They want to make up for the supernatural power they lost when they died in the game last night.
When he saw Xiong Wenwen coming back, Cao Yang immediately greeted him, but Xiong Wenwen was determined to be the "store manager"'s follower, so he ignored him.
"Brother Yuan, you have nothing to do now, why don't you go to my house and have a chat with my mother. It's not a blind date, just talk about how to run a restaurant well, how about that?"
"Not very good."
"Then you can go and have a look. You have taken such good care of me recently. My mother said she wanted to treat you to a meal, and she cooked the food herself. Her cooking skills are so good, so far away It’s your loss if you don’t go, brother!”
“Well, then I can still afford the loss.”
"Brother Yuan..."
Xiong Wenwen tried different tricks to drag Lin Yuan to Dajing City to have a blind date with his mother. Lin Yuan also tried different tricks to refuse. You could tell by looking at his expression that he was doing it on purpose. Teasing Xiong Wenwen.
Xiong Wenwen didn't notice it yet, but was seriously thinking about one reason after another.
"It feels like these two people are talking about cross talk, which is quite interesting." Zhang Lei picked up the dishes and looked at the cashier with a good show.
Cao Yang looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Have you noticed that the store manager seems to have had his thoughts."
Zhang Lei said blankly: "What?"
"Cao Yang means that the store manager is about to be hired by Xiong Wenwen and has the idea of going to Dajing City." Li Leping gave the answer.
Zhang Lei was even more confused, "No way, is the store manager still interested in ordinary people? No, if the store manager really has such needs, He Yin'er and Liu around him Qingqing is very beautiful. And He Yuelian is even more inhumanly beautiful. How could he be interested in a woman he has never met before? Is it because she is a single mother? "
Mother?
This topic seems a bit inappropriate, and... I took a quick look and stopped just behind Zhang Lei. The only option that Zhang Lei missed was Tong Qian. Cao Yang said that it had nothing to do with him. .
"Now is not the time to talk about this. If the store manager really wants to go to Dajing City, he must be prepared in advance, otherwise it may cause big trouble."
Cao Yang put down his chopsticks.
They had just eaten four dishes, one of which was Xiong Wenwen’s share, but if Xiong Wenwen didn’t eat it, they wouldn’t waste it.
Now they are more supernatural than when they came to the store yesterday, and they have barely made some money. Since the goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay anymore.
This time I did not successfully conquer the e-sports room and virtual survival game, so the action naturally failed.
They needed to go back and explain the situation clearly, otherwise they would not be able to bear the loss of more than a dozen ghosts. Fortunately, there was an extremely terrifying supernatural item like the ghost stove.
Being able to bring it back is not a small gain.
"Tong Qian, if the store manager is coming to Dajing City, you should try to notify him in advance so that the headquarters can be prepared." Cao Yang warned seriously.
Tong Qian nodded, she knew the importance of this matter, "I will try my best. However, in the Peace Hotel, the satellite positioning mobile phone has no signal, I can only find reasons to leave early, even if the message is transmitted The timeliness of the news may not be very good. After you go back, you'd better be prepared to avoid being caught off guard."
Cao Yang said: "We will report this to Minister Cao after we go back. . But...have you tried the landline phone on the checkout counter? I remember the store manager used it to make calls."
Tong Qian turned to look at the cashier.
There is indeed an old-fashioned landline phone next to the computer. It looks like it was from decades ago. No, it should be said to be from the Republic of China period. It is the kind with rotating numbers.
"I can try."
After the discussion, Cao Yang and others got up and prepared to leave. Of course, when they passed the cashier, they also planned to take Xiong Wenwen with them.
Xiong Wenwen is not willing to leave.
He hasn't convinced Lin Yuan to meet his mother yet. If he leaves this time, God knows when the headquarters will agree to come over next time.
It’s all Cao Yang’s fault.
They actually snatched the three supernatural advertisements from his hand, otherwise how could he be so passive?
Seeing this, Cao Yang said directly to Lin Yuan: "Brother Yuan, what do you think?"
Lin Yuan is a little annoyed with Xiong Wenwen, so naturally he is happy to see him taken away, " You have stayed here all night. If you don't go back, your mother may be worried. You don't want her to be worried about you. This is not what a good child should do."
Xiong Wenwen still wanted to refuse, but looking at the serious look on the "store manager's" face and the vague pressure around him, even though he was a bear, he knew that Lin Yuan was reaching his limit.
He could only let go of the hand holding the wax corpse aggrievedly, "Okay, then when can I come over next time?"
Lin Yuan wanted to pretend not to hear, but This kid is really pitiful, and his mother is also pitiful. Who makes Lin Yuan feel soft-hearted? If I have time, I will come to see you and see your mother. "
"Really? That's great. I will tell my mother to dress up. I will definitely do it. Let Brother Yuan shine!”
