Chapter 364 Ghost Lake Salvage
After the discussion, the four of Cao Yang went downstairs together.
Although it is morning, there are already five or six people sitting bustlingly. This is also the current normal traffic of Peace Hotel.
"Yang Jian? This kid used to be most taboo about coming to the store, but he came very diligently now." Zhang Lei was a little surprised.
Cao Yang said: "There is nothing surprising. He can only see his father safely here. Maybe something happened at the ghost post office. Speaking of which, I am still the messenger of the ghost post office. , but I haven’t delivered a letter for a while, and the ghost post office didn’t even look for me.”
"If I were you, I should go to the Ghost Post Office again. The restrictions on messengers by the Ghost Post Office are also a curse, and the curse will not disappear, it will only accumulate. When this curse accumulates to a certain extent, I am afraid you will Encountering greater terror. We are not employees of the Peace Hotel, and we do not have the sense of supernatural protection of the store manager." Li Leping said.
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Cao Yang waved his hand, not seeming to care, but he already had an idea in his heart.
There are many curses on him.
There is a ghost post office and a ghost salesman.
However, since the ghost seller sent him to the Peace Hotel, there has been almost no movement, and there are even fewer opportunities to come to him to collect goods.
It seems that the curse of the ghost post office is also like this, instinctively avoiding the Peace Hotel.
Wait!
According to the situation in the virtual game, "store manager" Lin Yuan appeared forty years ago, and the store manager at that time was still a normal ghost controller.
Is there really no communication between the store manager at that time and other ghost masters of the same era?
The image of the ghost salesman is obviously that of a ghost controller after his recovery. Did he have any interaction with the store manager before the ghost salesman recovered and when he was still a ghost controller?
If this is the case, then the ghost salesman's choice to retreat when facing the store manager is not only the instinct of the ghost, but also because he has suffered losses at the hands of the store manager before?
Cao Yang suddenly stopped, which made Zhang Lei, Li Leping and Zhou Deng next to him a little confused, "What's wrong?"
"I thought of a possibility, let's talk about it after we get back. , let Professor Wang analyze it for us." Cao Yang shook his head and had no idea of going on.
The four of them came to the checkout counter, and the colorful parrot tilted its head and looked over, with a hint of ferocity in its dark eyes.
Being stared at by a ghost like this made Zhou Deng a little uncomfortable even though he had long been accustomed to the state of the Peace Hotel.
"Where's Brother Yuan, did you go out so early? It's rare."
While asking, Zhou Deng poked his head around to look for traces of Lin Yuan, and even bent down to look at the recent under the dining table.
He Yuelian's face darkened, "Brother Yuan went to the bus stop and will be back in a while. You guys should eat first. Only Brother Yuan can open the points mall. Remember to pay the bill first."
"Come as you like. A few breakfasts, priced at three yuan per person, were delivered to that table, just in time for a chat." Cao Yang nodded and pointed to Yang Jian's position.
He Yuelian naturally had no objection and handed the menu to Xiao An, who then sent it to the kitchen.
Cao Yang and the other four also came to Yang Jian's table and sat down. Yang Jian had almost eaten, and the food in the store was now much more normal, no longer just the same as the seventh one.
Breakfast also allowed Tong Qian to exert her subjective initiative. Ordinary breakfasts such as millet porridge, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, soy milk, fried dough sticks, etc. should be more attractive at this time.
The same things Xiaoan and Xiaoxi sent to Cao Yang and others were the same.
Li Leping started immediately, as if he hadn't eaten for several days. Cao Yang and the others around him were also in similar condition.
Yang Jian had finished eating to the end. He looked at these guys who came here deliberately without explaining their purpose and said with some dissatisfaction: "In a hurry?"
"Only by eating here can we get back the feeling of being alive." Li Leping wiped his mouth.
He has controlled four fierce ghosts and is the person in charge who is ahead of many people. This is a strength and also represents his status.
The supernatural erosion of his body was so terrifying that all normal human emotions had disappeared, including feelings for food and the opposite sex.
Now he is on the road to becoming a terrifying ghost.
Only in the Peace Hotel can he find his human emotions and live like a normal person.
This is why he would come to the Peace Hotel at night as long as there was nothing going on in reality.
Do you really think he is doing it entirely for virtual games?
If you stay in the Peace Hotel for a long time, you will be eroded by the White Mist Ghost Domain of the Peace Hotel. This state is irreversible.
Li Leping knows, Cao Yang knows, Zhang Lei knows, and Zhou Deng also knows.
But except for Zhou Deng, everyone else made the same choice, not just to increase their strength, not just to explore the secrets of the Peace Hotel, but to find their true selves.
Even if you know that all these are chronic poisons, so what?
Yang Jian has the same feeling, but he is suspicious and will not show it, "How is the situation in the virtual game? I heard that there is a points mode in it, and you can buy character skill cards?"< br>
Obviously, he has also read the headquarters’ records on virtual games.
Cao Yang smiled and said: "Yes, you can indeed redeem character skill cards, but judging from the situation in the last round, you can only redeem BOSS skill cards. No, it should be said to be character cards. But this character card has only one kind of supernatural power. As for your Ye Zhen character card, you can only use the scapegoat's supernatural power."
"What about Zhang Xianguang and Luo Qian? They both have higher points than Ye Zhen. "High, the ability should be more terrifying, right?" Yang Jian was really curious.
Zhang Lei said: "We didn't have enough points in the last game, and we didn't have enough points in this one. The one with the highest points was Team Li Leping, who only had 35 points. It's not cost-effective to exchange character cards for Luo Qian or Zhang Xianguang, but we can guess that their The ability is extremely terrifying, and just a single supernatural power is twice as strong as Ye Zhen's scapegoat."
"Because it is just a single supernatural power, the point price of this kind of card should only be for this kind of supernatural power. The quantification of strength cannot be used to measure the actual strength of a character. You should pay attention to this, so as not to suffer a disadvantage when you encounter them in the future." Cao Yang reminded.
Yang Jian nodded, "I would also like to play the game if I have the chance, but now it seems that there is no place for me."
"It's okay if you say that. . There are many people who want to enter the game. Yesterday, the Wei Jing Guards took the initiative to give in, and the Liu San Liu Team failed in the draw." Cao Yang couldn't help laughing when he thought about what happened yesterday.
Yang Jian nodded and said nothing, but felt a little emotional in his heart.
His interest in e-sports rooms and virtual games did not come suddenly, but he had the idea during the day yesterday, otherwise he would not have asked about it at this time.
Because of his understanding, he naturally knew that if he wanted to participate in the game, he needed to prepare at least four ghosts.
For ordinary ghost controllers, even those who can mobilize the person in charge of a city, it is very difficult to imprison four ghosts.
But when we arrived at the Peace Hotel, there were more and more people who could take out four ghosts. If you wanted to send this ghost out, you had to queue up and even draw lots.
Just thinking about it makes me feel funny and... scary.
The breakfast was quite smooth, except that two people who were eating the Overlord meal were thrown out by Guo Fan.
“Isn’t Guo Fan the driver? How dare he leave his post without permission and come here to embarrass people? If he dares to go to work, he is not afraid of trouble from the store manager. His dog-legged appearance is very annoying to the store. Do you like it?" Zhou Deng touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
Yang Jian glanced at him, "Envy? Are you excited?"
"It's a bit, I... Bah! How is it possible, how can I envy a loser?" Zhou Deng's reaction When he came over, he immediately jumped in anger.
"Okay, Guo Fan is here, don't let others see the joke." Cao Yang reminded.
Guo Fan has also come closer, "Captain Cao, are you waiting for the boss? He is over there at the fish pond now, and he will probably not come here for a while. Do you think you should wait here or go over?"
< br>"Brother Yuan, what are you doing over there at the fish pond? Isn't Captain Yinzi there?" Zhang Lei was very confused.
Guo Fandao: "Captain Yinzi had a relative die in her family, and she took seven days off. The boss seems to want to salvage something from the fish pond, and asked me to come over and bring someone to help."
said After that, he left to discuss manpower matters with He Yuelian.
“Let’s go and take a look. The news came back from Wei Jing yesterday. The water level of the ghost lake in Zhongzhou City has dropped, and a small part of the entrance to the ghost street in Taiping Ancient Town, which was originally blocked, has been exposed. As long as you have If there is an accident in Ghost Lake, it will have a huge impact on reality.”
Cao Yang's proposal was also unanimously agreed by Li Leping and the other three. Otherwise, if Lin Yuan didn't come back, it would be useless for them to stay here.
"Guo Fan is okay. He will notify us as soon as he knows there is news." Zhang Lei said.
Guo Fan had already discussed it with He Yuelian at this time, and Liu Qingqing and Xiao Xi were standing next to him, preparing to go out.
After a few people gathered together, they came all the way to the fish pond.
“There are so many people here, Xiao Cao, how was the game you guys played last night?” Lin Yuan squatted on the edge of the ghost lake and observed what was going on inside. After hearing the sound, he looked back, It was a bit surprising to see so many people coming together.
"Not bad, the content of the game is quite good, but the difficulty is a little higher. We didn't even encounter the BOSS, and we were all destroyed. Brother Yuan, do you think the difficulty of this game should be lowered?" Cao Yang As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Deng.
Zhou Deng nodded imperceptibly.
The store manager Lin Yuan he met in the game last night was exactly the same as the "store manager" in front of him, with no difference at all.
"The points mall is open. This is also to match the points mall." Lin Yuan said with a smile, but his tone was unusually tough.
This surprised Cao Yang.
He just said a few words casually, finding a topic to talk about.
But the reaction of the "store manager" was beyond his expectation, because when faced with their suggestions for virtual games, the previous "store managers" always accepted them with an open mind, and also knew how to do it. Make certain changes and adjustments.
Adjustments to multiplayer and single-player modes are also proof of listening to suggestions.
But what happened today? There was a sense of "I like to play, but I don't like to play", which gave Cao Yang a not so good memory.
Li Leping, Zhang Lei and Zhou Deng are all the same.
Especially Zhou Deng. Before the supernatural incident broke out and he became a ghost controller, he liked playing online games the most, but he knew the nature of a certain penguin. I thought that after becoming a ghost controller, I would be able to get rid of the shadow of the penguin, but what is the situation now? There is actually a similar and stronger sense of oppression coming?
Lin Yuan saw the expressions of several people in his eyes and couldn't help but laugh, feeling even more proud in his heart:
"The e-sports room was not popular enough before. It takes several days to receive a wave of customers. At that time, I was begging you to play. But now, the points mode is really turned on. Now that the offense and defense have changed, then I, the boss, can still be given by you. Got it? ”
Opinion?
Accept it humbly.
Change or not?
It depends on our mood.
But Lin Yuan is not too thick-skinned and will not be too loud, otherwise he will really get angry. What should these captains and leaders do if they are angry?
Those who can reach the level of captain and person-in-charge may still have a bit of a temper.
"Xiao Guo, I didn't ask you to ask who has good water quality. Why did you bring Xiao Liu and Xiao Xi here?" Lin Yuan said with some dissatisfaction.
Guo Fan quickly looked at Liu Qingqing. If Liu Qingqing hadn't strongly requested it and said he would take responsibility, he would not have let Liu Qingqing come with him.
Liu Qingqing smiled slightly, showing her elegant posture, "Brother Yuan, my water quality is very good, so I came here."
Lin Yuan took a look at Liu Qingqing's body Clothes, "I want people to go into the water. You are good at water, so you can't go into the water wearing this."
Cheongsam and high heels.
This is not a piece of equipment for going into the water. If you really go into the water, you will probably be questioned as being a side-stepper or a seducer.
Of course Liu Qingqing knew this. She just came here to join in the fun and wanted to see why Lin Yuan wanted to find someone with good water skills.
This is obviously preparing people to go into the water to salvage something.
But the ghosts submerged in the ghost lake were all fierce ghosts, all turned into fish, shrimps and crabs, and a small area was divided to raise the ones that Yan Li traded. Ghost blood·squid.
So, what does the "store manager" want to fish out of Ghost Lake?
But now that she's here, she can't let the "store manager" notice anything strange, otherwise it will affect her image and favorability in the "store manager's" heart, and she will cry.
"I'll go back and change my clothes now. Brother Yuan, what do you want to catch? Do you need me to bring any tools?"
Liu Qingqing is very sincere, which also makes Lin Yuan uncomfortable. Blame her again.
"No need, Xiao Xi, are your water properties also very good?" Lin Yuan asked.
Xiao Xi nodded and said nothing, but the meaning was conveyed. If there was no need for help in the store, both she and Xiao An would come over, not just one.
What she was wearing was much more normal, mainly because she wasn't wearing a skirt, but a pair of pants.
Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "Then get ready to go into the water and look down there for anything like the money printing press from the Republic of China. But you have to pay attention to your condition and don't Show off your strength below, and come up quickly if anything seems strange, do you understand?"
Xiao Xi nodded to express her understanding.
Besides, Zhou Deng muttered in a low voice: "Is there something wrong with me? Why do I still feel that when I look at this little orangutan, he has some delicate features?"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Yang , Li Leping and Zhang Lei all looked over, their eyes full of surprise and weirdness.
"Brother, think twice! Haven't you seen them in their usual state? Guo Fan, aren't you in charge of taking photos? Bring a photo of the king's twins. We can't let Zhou Deng go astray." Cao Yang Somewhat anxious.
Guo Fan rolled his eyes, "I'm not responsible for taking photos of the employees in the store. If you ask me, if Zhou Deng likes it, then go. It can strengthen the connection with the store. I think it's good. "
A few people were muttering there, but Xiao Xi was already in the water.
Her movements were clean and neat, and she plunged in in an extremely standard manner without causing much splash.
Once in the water, the supernatural suppression belonging to the ghost lake comes.
Xiao Xi's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect that the fish pond outside the store, which had always been peaceful, would have such terrifying supernatural powers. The lake water kept pouring into her body.
And her body continued to sink, and she continued to move towards the bottom of the water.
Her consciousness was gradually blurring, as if she would be completely lost in the next moment. She wanted to use her supernatural power, but the supernatural power in her body seemed to have disappeared and she could not mobilize it at all.
Is it the ghost lake and fish pond?
No, it’s not.
It's the "store manager" watching her, so she can't use powers beyond those of a normal little girl.
Xiao Xi understood this, and her dead heart suddenly felt a little funny, and countless memories emerged in her mind.
These memories are as old as she can remember, just like taking a quick look at them.
The gambling dad...
The paralyzed mom...
The brother who ran away from home...
Myself and my sister were sold to the local H gang...
Dozens of corpses in various states in the dark bar, as well as the weird doll ...
Memories of less than ten years came to her mind at this moment, making her review her short life carefully.
“Death is never far away from me.”
Xiao Xi has given up, just like a rag doll, letting the water of the ghost lake keep suppressing her and sinking to the bottom of the lake.
Wow!
A hand fell from the sky, broke through the restrictions of the ghost lake, grabbed her back collar, and then lifted it hard.
“Is this Xiao Xi’s brain flooded? If he doesn’t know how to drink water, he can’t drink water. He said he knew how to drink water, but as soon as he entered, he drank a lot of water and almost drowned!”
Lin Yuan put Xiao Xi on the ground with a dark face.
However, Xiao Xi was already unconscious, and she looked like she was drowning. As Lin Yuan said, what everyone saw was that Xiao Xi drank heavily and danced after entering the water. She didn't look like she knew how to swim at all.
"Your goddess is drowning, hurry up and go for artificial respiration." Guo Fan lightly poked Zhou Deng.
Zhou Deng gave him a big eye roll, "Your goddess, the goddess of your whole family!"
Guo Fan chuckled and didn't answer.
"Okay, just say a few words."
Cao Yang drank in a low voice, then walked to Lin Yuan and asked curiously: "Brother Yuan, what kind of money printing machine do you think there is in this lake?"
Lin Yuan nodded, "I seem to remember I got up. When I opened the canal to divert the lake water from Zhongzhou City, I seemed to have seen a money printing machine. If I was not mistaken, this money printing machine should be the one in the bank on the old street of Taiping Town. One.”
These memories are of course fabricated.
It is not the current "store manager" who only has the consciousness and memory of ordinary people, but Lin Yuan, who got some information after going to the virtual game last night to get a bug.
He poured the information he obtained into the mind of the "store manager" in the form of memory, and this resulted in today's situation.
"Aren't you saying that there is a problem with the current money printing? I just want to see if I can find this money printing machine. If I can print the previous money..."
Speaking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly became wary, "If I really salvaged the money printing machine, you wouldn't force me to donate it, right?"
The authority to print money is nationalized, not May be given to a private individual.
Lin Yuan was only focusing on his personal relationship with Cao Yang just now. Only then did he remember Cao Yang's current identity, and that there were also heads of the headquarters such as Li Leping, Zhang Lei, and Zhou Deng beside him.
Cao Yang said quickly: "Brother Yuan, don't get me wrong, we are not robbers. Please ask carefully, if you are asked to donate..."
Lin Yuan: "Haha!"
"Haha! Just a joke, just a joke. In fact, ordinary citizens now also have a set of currencies in daily transactions. Although Brother Yuan can't use it here, there are some It can still be used in all situations. If you, Brother Yuan, can print out the money we are using now, then I think the headquarters will support you, Brother Yuan, in opening a bank or something. You just need to report these little things, Brother Yuan, if you need them, I will give them to you. Just run." Cao Yang said very generously.
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, patted Cao Yang on the shoulder and said: "Good brother. Since you are so generous, brother, then if you come to the store to eat in the future, I will give you a 10% discount!"
"Really?"
Cao Yang's eyes suddenly widened with disbelief on his face.
You must know that "store manager" does not have many tags in the headquarters files, one of which is:
Stingy!
Being able to be recorded as a label is enough to show how stingy the "store manager" is. The discounts he gives people are never lower than 95% off. Most of them are 99% off or 92% off. Even giving a 93% discount is considered a great relationship.
But now, the "store manager" actually offered a "sky-high price" of 10% off. How could this not shock Cao Yang?
But this also shows from the side how much impact the opening of a bank has on the "store manager", which is enough to show how much the "store manager" hates the barter transaction model.
In shock, Cao Yang suddenly thought of a question: "Brother Yuan, if you want to open a bank, do you need to recruit a lot of employees? Do you have any candidates? Do you want me to introduce you to some trustworthy brothers and sisters? "
Li Leping, Zhou Deng, Zhang Lei, Guo Fan, and Liu Qingqing all showed contempt in their eyes:
Are you thinking of placing people in?
I despise you!
