Chapter 365 Dream Chaser·Zhang Xianguang
"It's easy to talk, but let's see if we can find something first. If there is no money printing press, it will be useless no matter how many ideas you have. You guys, if you can Is it water?"
Lin Yuan has a shot in mind.
He has already given Cao Yang a 10% discount, which is an unprecedented discount.
If you really want to open a bank, you will need at least several employees. It is not unacceptable for Cao Yang to send some relatives and friends, but that will depend on the situation later.
His relationship with Cao Yang was not good enough to let Cao Yang send people here casually.
“Can you swim?”
Cao Yang and the others looked at each other. If you want to know how to swim, they can actually do it.
Especially after becoming a ghost controller, you have supernatural protection. Swimming, snorkeling, etc. are not a problem at all. As long as the ghost realm is opened, you can drill into the earth, let alone water.
But the problem is, this is not ordinary water, but the water of Ghost Lake!
Under the watchful eye of the "store manager", it is impossible for them to use supernatural powers, which are absolutely suppressed, but the water of Ghost Lake is different. It seems to have suppressed supernatural powers.
However, this supernatural power is normal in the eyes of the "store manager", and its external manifestation is:
Drowning!
Otherwise, a ghost controller like Xiao Xi would be a king-level existence when placed abroad with his sister Xiao An, and would be even more alien. How could he be in a state of drowning?
If they were allowed to go into the water, they would probably end up almost the same as Xiao Xi.
Lin Yuan knew the answer at a glance and suddenly had a headache. Liu Qingqing said, "Brother Yuan, why don't I call a robot over? If it is a robot, there should be no need to worry about drowning."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up: "That's right! Xiaoliu, you are smarter, so hurry up and summon me."
Liu Qingqing nodded, and after getting the "store manager's" permission, she naturally It is possible to use supernatural powers using the cognitive state of the "store manager".
I didn’t see much movement from her, but a door of light appeared next to me, and then a robot with a metallic luster all over its body walked out.
Liu Qingqing glanced at Lin Yuan, and then started playing with the robot's face. After a while, a face that was very similar to Liu Qingqing appeared, smiling brightly and looking like a living creature. The same.
"You have nothing to say about your makeup skills! Let's try it in the water, but can it find what it needs?" What Lin Yuan is most concerned about now is the money printing machine that may exist underwater.
Liu Qingqing said: "Brother Yuan, don't worry, it's very useful."
With a pop, the robot jumped directly into the ghost lake, and then sank directly to the bottom of the lake.
Cao Yang and others quickly went to the lake to watch the excitement. They didn't know how deep the ghost lake was, but the water was relatively clear, so they could vaguely see the situation at the bottom of the lake.
After the robot landed at the bottom of the lake, it actually started to move without being suppressed.
"The robot is not a normal person and will not be in a state of drowning. This is the cognition of ordinary people, and naturally also belongs to the store manager's cognition, so the suppression of the ghost lake has no effect on it, allowing it to move freely at the bottom of the lake. . Sure enough, in the store, we still need to change our thinking. We should not think about things in the supernatural world, but in the way ordinary people think." Zhang Lei sighed with emotion.
Cao Yang nodded, "Professor Wang has reminded us of this a long time ago, but our thinking is somewhat solidified. If we really change our thinking, we will not be able to change it back quickly when dealing with supernatural events in the outside world. , the results will be terrible.”
“There are gains and losses. I don’t think there is any need to change my mind now. As long as I make sure not to trigger the murder rule in the store, I will try my best to collect wool. That’s it.” Zhou Deng said.
Li Leping glanced at him and said, "Are you sure it's us collecting the store manager's wool, and not him collecting our imprisoned devils?"
The chat between the few people was very low. Otherwise, if the "store manager" hears about it, they will be greatly affected, and it may not even be possible to directly kill them.
They had already suffered a lot when they first arrived at the Peace Hotel, and now they have naturally figured out a way to communicate at the Peace Hotel to avoid being misunderstood by the "store manager".
Lin Yuan's mind is now focused on the robot at the bottom of the lake. He has had enough of the days of checking out and collecting animals. It is too troublesome.
Even if we can’t create mobile payment like before time travel, we must at least create cash settlement!
As time passed by, Lin Yuan suddenly said: "Can you get a few more robots over? I see that this robot moves a little slowly at the bottom of the lake. Maybe the resistance at the bottom of the water is too great. , this fish pond is so big, the number is too small, do we have to search until the end of the year of the monkey?"
Liu Qingqing nodded and said: "Yes, but we can only get six more at the moment."
"Six units, the quantity is a bit small, but you can get it here first, and then fish it out at the bottom of the lake. Then let me know when you have the results. I'll go to the store first."
Lin Yuan doesn't want to be here anymore. It's a waste of time, Liu Qingqing is here anyway.
Liu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt like she had shot herself in the foot. She came to ask Lin Yuan if he had asked Mr. Qin, who drove the ghost bus, about the address she drew. But was assigned a job.
Forget it.
Do it, otherwise what else can you do?
Only after this matter is done well can you speak to the "store manager". Otherwise, a worthless employee will not have the right to speak with the "store manager".
Since Lin Yuan was going back to the store, Cao Yang and the others naturally followed him.
They were a little carried away watching the fun just now, but now they naturally remembered that they wanted to go to the points mall with the "store manager".
There are also games.
"Brother Yuan, the background of last night's game was very interesting. Is there a follow-up story mode? We want to continue playing." Cao Yang walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Lin Yuan and proposed with a smile. Opinion.
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "That's right. Since you have helped me so much, I might consider it. But I am not doing the game development. I can make some suggestions. The plot depends on the developers' ideas. . ”
To speak so directly, he is really a “store manager”.
However, Cao Yang did not give up. He was still discussing the plot of the virtual game with Lin Yuan with a smile. Looking at him, it seemed that he wanted to make Lin Yuan also interested in the plot of the virtual game, and then he Efforts are made to promote plot development in this area.
Lin Yuan answered hummingly, obviously not interested, but he did understand something: This Xiao Cao is actually a dramatist?
The so-called plot party means that when playing games, what they prefer to do is to explore the plot and historical background of the game rather than conquering BOSS and improving levels.
The more powerful plot party members are even very curious about the background of a passerby NPC and want to dig deeper.
Cao Yang acted like a dramatist and wanted to dig out the background of the virtual game last night. Originally, Lin Yuan was just listening for fun, but suddenly he thought of something.
He runs a hotel. Although the e-sports room and virtual games are just a service, if enough benefits can be created, then it will naturally be developed vigorously.
Compared with projects such as ghost lakes, fish ponds, and ghost rentals, e-sports rooms and virtual games can be said to be the most profitable type of project besides the basic service items of hotels - meals.
Since players have needs, they must be met.
And for plot parties, what do they need most?
Looking at Cao Yang who became more and more excited as he talked, Lin Yuan suddenly said: "The game last night was so fun. If there is a 'historical information' about the background of the game, would you be willing to buy it?"
"Huh?"
Cao Yang was stunned on the spot, then reacted, nodded repeatedly: "Buy! I will definitely buy it!"
If there is information about other games too Forget it, there was a store manager in the game last night. Whether it was the history of Taiping Ancient Town or the history of the store manager, it was very precious information.
If he could exchange the evil ghosts for the corresponding information, I believe he wouldn't need to provide resources. The headquarters would have to send the imprisoned evil spirits here.
Lin Yuan was also very satisfied with Cao Yang's answer.
When he returned to the checkout counter, he had been communicating with "Goldfinger" for a while, but unfortunately the final result was not satisfactory, because "Goldfinger" was unable to provide the so-called historical information on the background of the game.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Although Lin Yuan used various means to restore some stories that happened in Taiping Ancient Town forty years ago, the backgrounds of these stories are incomplete. Many NPCs in the game don’t even have faces, let alone what they say. background.
It's just because they appeared in the memories of He Liansheng, Boss Liu and others that they appeared.
Lin Yuan can't control Shen Lin and get rid of bugs infinitely. He can't dig deep into the information and background of one of them. What can he sell to players?
Is it possible to let him make up and write stories?
This is not impossible, but there are still many people who are still alive today 40 years ago. If you really make up a set of information, you will most likely be slapped in the face in the end.
Lin Yuan would not do this kind of thing.
"Store manager" Lin Yuan was very depressed, but since he couldn't do it, he wouldn't force it, so he could only say sorry to Cao Yang.
“The background of the game is still being further improved and developed, and there are no plans for external sales at the moment, but you can try to continue playing. Isn’t it more interesting to discover a piece of history through your own efforts?” Lin Yuan gave this explanation.
I am not worried that Cao Yang will be angry.
For the plot party, the history excavated by one’s own hands should be more fulfilling.
Sure enough, Cao Yang looked a little disappointed on the surface, but he was really lifeless, "Okay, that's the only way it can be. By the way, Brother Yuan, when will your store be expanded? The number of e-sports rooms is too small, and many of my colleagues want to come over and play games together at night.”
"This, I'll think about it again."
Lin Yuan was naturally very happy to hear that the e-sports room was so popular, but the hotel had just been upgraded and there was no way to expand it for the time being.
Accustomed to expanding the hotel through golden finger upgrades, he no longer wants to spend money to hire a construction team to do the construction. It is not only a waste of money, but also a waste of time. But it’s not just the rooms on the second floor that can be used in the store. The nano laboratory in the basement is quite spacious, and the nano material seems to be very suitable for transformation?
Lin Yuan was thinking in his mind, but these things had not been decided yet, and he could not tell them in advance, so as not to make the guests happy in vain and affect the reputation of the store.
Cao Yang and Lin Yuan were chatting non-stop just now, and no one else could say a word on the air. Now after finally waiting for the chat to end, Zhou Deng immediately said: "Brother Yuan, brother Yuan, can we take a look at the points mall? We are here." I got a lot of points this time."
Lin Yuan came back to his senses, turned on the computer, and said with a strange expression: "You don't have to, I think you don't even have a single point in this game. , much worse than last time.”
Cao Yang explained: “Brother Yuan, you don’t know, this game was completed in cooperation with Zhang Lei and Zhou Deng, so the points between the three of us are equally divided. ”
Li Leping was not mentioned.
First of all, Li Leping left the game earlier than all of them, and he also worked hard to fatten up Zhang Lei, so the 35 points he got could not be counted into it. It was a bit ugly to look like that.
"Points transfer, okay. Take a look, these are your current points." Lin Yuan said, turning the computer screen behind the cashier so that Cao Yang and the others could see clearly from outside the cashier. .
At the end of the last round of the game, Wei Jing had 43 points, Zhang Lei had 21 points, Cao Yang had 7 points, and Zhou Deng had 1 point.
However, at that time both Wei Jing and Zhang Lei purchased the card [Dahai City·Supernatural Forum·Ye Zhen] and activated the one-click dress-up function, which cost 18 points.
Zhang Lei converted all the remaining 3 points into the duration of the costume change, a total of 2 minutes, and the remaining points were 0.
Wei Jing has the most points, but he does not use them indiscriminately. He has the ability to suppress nine ghosts without any solution. His strength is extremely terrifying. He does not have much need for other supernatural powers, but he also I spent 15 points to buy ten minutes of dress-up duration.
Eight minutes were given to Wang Xiaoming, and he cooperated with Wang Xiaoming in conducting experiments, leaving two minutes for himself to respond.
Zhou Deng originally had 1 point, but he used it to look at his "Highlights" screen, and there was nothing left from the last game.
So the current number of points has also changed a lot:
[Virtual game points ranking list:
1. Li Leping: 35 points.
2. Cao Yang: 32 points.
3. Zhou Deng: 25 points.
4. Zhang Lei: 25 points.
5. Wei Jing: 10 points. 】
"Haha! Now I'm not at the bottom, I have 25 points, hahahaha!" Zhou Deng was so proud, and he felt as excited as turning into a serf and singing.
Cao Yang, Li Leping and Zhang Lei directly pushed this kid to the back, "Brother Yuan, can you take a look at the points mall? There should be more cards that can be purchased this time, right?"
This is now The one thing they care about most.
In last night's virtual game, there were too many powerful characters. The bosses of the dozen or so shops and Lao He who guarded the ancestral hall were all terrifyingly powerful.
Just one of them, Lao Liu, the owner of the paper-making shop, almost forced them into a desperate situation. If the devil hadn't revived and fought hard in the end, they might not have even been able to get a single point.
Now that you have cleared the game, you can use the BOSS card to check the true situation and strength status of those people last night.
Although the ability that can be obtained on the card is only a kind of supernatural power possessed by these BOSS, it is still a very good choice.
You can get a lot of information just by looking at it.
For example, who is the most powerful ghost controller in Taiping Ancient Town, how many bosses there are, how difficult the strategy is, and what kind of preparations are needed.
Cao Yang mentioned before that he wanted to play a story series game.
Although the "store manager" didn't agree directly, based on the "store manager's" past caring attitude towards the players, it shouldn't be much worse.
So the next round of games is likely to be a continuation of last night's game.
Even if it is just a replica of the game last night, they can make a targeted plan through the BOSS card information in the peripheral mall and card mall.
Information is the most expensive thing in the world!
However, when Lin Yuan brought up the points shopping mall on the computer, Cao Yang and others were dumbfounded. Especially Zhou Deng, who had just squeezed into the circle again, saw that there were still only When Ye Zhen, Luo Qian, and Zhang Xianguang were shown three cards, he immediately exclaimed: "Brother Yuan, are you mistaken? Why wasn't the boss of the game we played last night up there?"
Lin Yuan There were also some surprises. He contacted "Golden Finger" urgently, and his expression soon became strange. The look in his eyes made Cao Yang and others feel hairy all over.
"Boss Lin, just tell me what the situation is. Has it not been developed yet? We can understand it." Li Leping took the initiative to find a step for Lin Yuan and glanced sideways at Zhou Deng.
If you dare to talk to the "store manager" like this, are you afraid that the store manager will harm you?
Lin Yuan was also helpless. "Goldfinger" didn't give him the card. What could he do? He could only give an explanation according to "Goldfinger"'s instructions: "You didn't defeat the BOSS in the game, or even We don’t even know who the BOSS of the game is. If that’s the case, then naturally we don’t have the BOSS information here, and naturally we can’t make it into a card.”
This...
Okay. It makes sense!
Cao Yang, Li Leping, Zhang Lei and Zhou Deng looked at each other, and suddenly felt like "I'm such a fucking waste". They didn't even figure out who the BOSS was, and they still wanted to find out the information about the BOSS from outside the game. The strategy is reversed. What is the difference between this and cheating?
Of course, if you can cheat, playing games will naturally focus on having fun.
But the problem is that not only are they not cheating now, but Lin Yuan has revealed their intention to cheat, which is a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, at this time, a customer came in to order food, which gave them an excuse to leave. However, the visitor was an acquaintance, namely Yang Xiao and Zhang Xianguang.
Zhang Xianguang?
In the virtual game Dahai City Ghost Grave Incident, they had interacted with Zhang Xianguang, and they can now exchange Zhang Xianguang's cards and get a glimpse of Zhang Xianguang's abilities.
It’s quite interesting to think about it.
It’s a pity that the card [Dream Chaser·Zhang Xianguang] is too expensive. Just buying the card costs 30 points, activating the one-click dress-up function costs 6 points, and it lasts 3 points for one minute, twice as much as Ye Zhen , otherwise the high bottom will have to be exchanged for one, and the costume change will be performed in front of Zhang Xianguang.
“Welcome~”
In the welcome, Zhang Xianguang and Yang Xiao walked into the Peace Hotel, and at the same time they turned into a gorilla and a robot respectively.
Zhang Xianguang glanced at Cao Yang and others with some confusion, and then looked back. He did not participate in the virtual game, so he did not have enough knowledge about the virtual game, and he was not clear about the card problem.
The supernatural light also does not know about this matter, so even if the two of them can exchange information in the world of ghost paintings at the right time, it is impossible to know about the points mall and card mall.
So he only felt that the way Cao Yang and others looked at him was a little strange.
"Is it because the other me entered Dahai City and had a conflict with them? We need to find a time to have a good chat with the other me. It seems that something happened that we don't know about."
Zhang Xianguang withdrew his gaze and was about to go to the cashier to order food, while chatting with Lin Yuan.
After all, Yang Xiao came with him, and Yang Xiao was just a character in the ghost post office oil painting. Unlike him, he did not have the resources and channels of Li Gui.
If he doesn't pay for Yang Xiao, Yang Xiao will be labeled as a tyrant as soon as he enters the door.
Yang Xiao is not a ghost controller, but a supernatural being. If he is really punished as a Overlord meal eater, he himself will probably be detained by the Peace Hotel to wash the dishes.
This is not possible.
But when Zhang Xianguang turned around, he found that Yang Xiao had already sat at the dining table, and next to Yang Xiao was a young man who was seventy-nine similar to Yang Xiao.
Yang Jian?
Zhang Xianguang has now transformed into a gorilla, and most of his face is covered by downy hair, but even so, it can still be seen that his face has darkened.
Lin Yuan greeted: "What's wrong with Lao Zhang? You're not in a good mood?"
"It's okay, I just feel a little emotional when I see Lao Yang and his son reunited." Zhang Xianguang squeezed He smiled and found a suitable reason.
Lin Yuan nodded, "It's understandable. But Lao Zhang, how come you haven't seen your children before? Even if you have been working, they should come to see you, right?"
< br>
This is a good intention.
But despite his good intentions, Zhang Xianguang was deeply heartbroken because he was so focused on his career that he really didn’t have a son and a half in the past sixty or seventy years.
There is an old father, but that father... don’t mention it!
Zhang Xianguang's silence made Lin Yuan feel a little embarrassed. He knew at a glance that Zhang Xianguang's family had big problems, and this was like a poke in his trachea.
This is not possible!
The owner of a restaurant can't touch the customer's heart like this, and this customer is also a hidden big customer. It is possible to ask him to help with contract mediation at that company called Ghost Post Office.
This is big business.
Although the business of the Peace Hotel is now good, in order to make money, it is natural to develop in an all-round way and not be shabby.
Fortunately, Zhang Xianguang has excellent self-regulation ability, so Lin Yuan did not have to think hard about how to comfort him, so he pointed to Yang Jian's table and said: "Two home-cooked dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, thank you."
