Chapter 366 Money printing press, the timeline is pushed forward forty years
“Two dishes, I’m treating you today.”
Zhang Xianguang sat directly next to Yang Xiao, looking familiar The look made both Yang Xiao and Yang Jian frown.
Yang Jian was fine, his frown was normal.
But Yang Xiao is now a robot, with a screen on his head, and Yang Xiao's face is painted on the screen. It feels awkward to look at him when he makes these rich expressions.
"Sorry, we don't welcome you." Yang Jian said rudely.
Yang Xiao and Zhang Xianguang didn't say they fell out with each other, but they were almost there. Now they still come to the restaurant to eat together, which makes Yang Jian very puzzled.
Zhang Xianguang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, then I'll go eat next to you and you guys can chat."
Having said that, Zhang Xianguang only moved his position slightly.
The tables in the store are all large round tables that can seat twelve people. Even if Zhang Xianguang moves to the side, he can still hear the conversation between Yang Jian and Yang Xiao.
Yang Jian and Yang Xiao looked at each other, and then said to Lin Yuan: "Brother Yuan, can you make a suggestion?"
"Of course, as long as it is a reasonable suggestion. Xiao He, give this Take the opinion book and let Xiao Yang fill it out."
Lin Yuan took out an A4-sized book from the cashier. There were three big words written on the cover of the book:
Opinion Book. !
When Yang Chen received the opinion book, his heart moved. Now he was unable to use his supernatural power under the watchful eye of the "store manager", but his perception was still there.
This seemingly ordinary opinion book also exudes a supernatural atmosphere, and is obviously a supernatural item.
What a luxury!
After discovering this, Yang Jian was not too nervous. This was the Peace Hotel. Without the permission of the "store manager", there would be no supernatural events.
Didn’t you see that the wish ghost, the hugger, the wax corpse, the starving ghost, the ghost, the knocker, etc., are all honest?
Don’t talk about triggering the killing pattern. In the Peace Hotel, the “store manager”’s cognition is the killing pattern. If the “store manager” feels that the watchdog should not fight back after being beaten, then even now He went to give the knocker two slaps, but the knocker would just sit blankly at the door without any movement.
As he expected, opening the opinion book would have no effect. Inside the opinion book was a simple A4-sized page, with a pen attached so that he could write down his opinions on the paper.
Yang Jian picked up the pen and said while writing: "Brother Yuan, look, most of the people who come to the restaurant to eat are alone or two people together. There are rarely five or six people, or even eight or nine people together. . There is only one large round table in the store, so it is easy for everyone to squeeze together. If possible, it is best to get a few tables for four or two, so that everyone can have some privacy. ”
When he finished speaking and writing, Yang Jian handed the opinion book back to He Yuelian and took a look at the gorilla Zhang Xianguang two seats away.
That’s right, I’m talking about you.
He has become a gorilla, and has no sense of boundaries at all.
If I really want you to listen to everything I say, then why go to the Peace Hotel? Wouldn’t it be more convenient and simpler to say it directly at the ghost post office?
Zhang Xianguang returned a shallow smile, but now that he was wearing a gorilla face, it was hard to tell what his smile meant.
Lin Yuandao: "So that's it. I did have this idea before. However, there are often customers coming to the store, but everyone seems to have no objections. I thought everyone likes the excitement now. . ”
“Maybe everyone else is more reserved.”
What Yang Jian actually wants to say is that everyone is afraid to say anything. This is not an ordinary hotel, but a hotel. The Supernatural Hotel is a hotel that makes everyone feel dangerous and unable to fight.
You have to be careful what you say, and you can't trigger the murder rule in the store, let alone giving opinions.
I really want to raise my opinion. If you make the "store manager" angry, you are asking for death. And in such a dangerous place, few people probably care whether you are sitting alone or with a few people. sit.
In other words, would it be more secure if several people sit at the same table?
"Okay, then I will make some changes according to your wishes. It's not a big deal. Maybe we can also make some private rooms and charge the private room fee?"
Lin Yuan muttered in a low voice, obviously He listened to Yang Jian's suggestion.
However, this change will not take effect immediately. According to the usual situation of the Peace Hotel, it is estimated that we will have to wait until tonight when no one is around, and another inexplicable decoration team will come to carry out a round of emergency decoration of the store. They will come back tomorrow. You can see new stores.
"You are too reckless, but the result is good." Yang Xiao reminded.
Yang Jian poured a glass of water for Yang Xiao. This is also an extra thing in the Peace Hotel now. As long as the things brought out are what normal restaurants can have, they will be obtained from the kitchen. The most is money. Just more money and less money.
Looking at his attitude towards Yang Xiao, it is not like a son towards his father, but more like a relationship closer than ordinary friends.
"I just told the store manager that the others are more reserved. I am different. I am still a high school student and have never experienced severe beatings from society, so I naturally say what I have to say."
Yang Xiao looked at Yang Jian with a complex expression, "I've heard people talk about your experiences over the years...it's been hard."
"There's no such thing as hard work. What really matters is that my mother is more hard-working." Thank you for your hard work. If you dare to find another woman in the future, I will kill you with my own hands." Yang Jian suddenly raised his head and stared at Yang Xiao firmly.
Yang Xiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. But it seems that we can't talk about business today. Lao Zhang has been eavesdropping with his ears open."
< br>"This is not eavesdropping, but listening openly. After all, you don't speak quietly, why don't you bite your ears and whisper?" Zhang Xianguang replied directly without being polite.
Yang Jian's eyes turned cold, and he was about to show off his reckless character that had never been beaten by society. When he was so reckless, Zhang Xianguang suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going to talk about business. You guys talk about yourselves. ”
After saying that, he walked towards another table, where another Zhang Xianguang was sitting.
People’s vision of other special species is basically the same. However, there are so many more gorillas in the Peace Hotel, but each one has its own characteristics.
The king twins are petite and cute.
Fang Shiming in the circle of friends is lean.
As well as the two Zhang Xianguangs, one is obviously a gorilla and the other is a robot, but it can be seen at a glance that they are definitely more twins than twins. It feels incredible.
Yang Jian withdrew his gaze, "Sun Rui is not strong enough, and his temper is a bit frivolous, but he is driven and ambitious. The situation of delivering letters these few times is not bad, but whether he can reach the final step in the future still depends on some opportunities. . The Peace Hotel is an obvious opportunity. If he can control the new supernatural power in the Peace Hotel and get more resources, it will be logical to become the manager of the ghost post office."
"Where. There are so many things that are logical. If Sun Rui's personal character is not enough, it will be nothing more than mud. However, the Peace Hotel has now grown to a point where it can influence the general trend of the world. It is really unexpected. " Yang Xiao was a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted his mood, "You shouldn't be talking about this just to chat, but are you worried that Sun Rui will lose control?"
Yang Jian played with the water glass in his hand, "Shengmi En , Dou Miqiu. I don’t know whether Sun Rui can withstand this test, so I won’t give him too many resources. Everything depends on him. After all, I have never thought about controlling the ghost post office through him. How many times will it take at most? It may be a long time, can you afford it?”
“I’ve been waiting for more than ten years, it’s okay to wait a little longer,” Yang Xiao said with a carefree smile.
Yang Jian nodded, suddenly thinking of his mother back home, but in the end he didn’t say anything more, "What happened to that ghost you left back home?"
"What did you say?" Yang Xiao asked confused.
Yang Jian stared into Yang Xiao's eyes, but he didn't see anything strange in Yang Xiao's eyes. He was just honest and said, "It's a ghost."
Then, he Then he told the story about the last time Lin Yuan went to his hometown to help with the "treasure hunt" and what happened to the ghost in the end.
Of course the dog is indispensable.
After hearing this, Yang Xiao said: "It should be what happened after I left the ghost post office, so I'm not too sure. But listening to what you said, I can probably guess something. After all, they are all the same person. That ghost is the ghost I am controlling now. It is called Gui Meng. It can drag people into dreams. As for why Gui Meng becomes like that, I am not sure, but what is certain is that it is definitely me. What I left for you should be the special arrangement I made after encountering danger in reality. You can try to control that dog. It will be a good supplement for you now. People must not have shortcomings in awareness, otherwise they will be easily targeted.”
Yang Jian nodded and glanced at another table not far away. Two Zhang Xianguang were also eating and chatting. The voices were relatively soft and could not be heard clearly here.
This is the Peace Hotel.
All things related to the supernatural have been turned into waste under the suppression of the "store manager", so he no longer has the physical strength and physical fitness to surpass ordinary people.
It's a pity.
"I remember that the store manager gave you a business card. You shouldn't need to use it to enter the Peace Hotel. This is risky." Yang Jian said.
Yang Xiao touched his arms, and there was indeed a business card of "Store Manager" Lin Yuan. "He has hidden too many things. Everything in the oil painting is too transparent. I need to hide something as a trump card."
He didn't say it too clearly, but Yang Jian understood what he meant.
The business was almost here. Just when Yang Jian was about to leave, Yang Xiao suddenly asked: "You are not young anymore. You should find a woman. It is best to get married and have children as soon as possible. At least. I also want to leave a legacy to the Yang family."
Yang Jian stumbled, turned around and glared at Yang Xiao, and then left quickly.
Yang Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, causing everyone else in the store to look over in confusion and curiosity. Naturally, he would not explain. Instead, he came to the table where the two Zhang Xianguang sat and sat down. He stopped, not caring about Zhang Xianguang's cold expression, "What are you talking about, can I listen? Don't worry, I'm just a loser who can't make an oil painting. Even if I know the secret, I can't pass it on."
Zhang Xianguang said: "Yang Xiao, didn't your face get hot when you said this?"
Yang Xiao touched his face and said seriously: "It doesn't get hot."
Zhang Xianguang: "..."
Ling Yiguang said: "We didn't talk about any secrets. We just talked about having a banquet in my hometown in two days. I originally thought of inviting everyone to go together, including Yang Xiao. You can be considered my friend. It would be great if you could go."
Yang Xiao shook his head, "We are all supernatural beings and cannot leave the oil painting."
"There are exceptions to everything. Just like you have left the Ghost Post Office and come to the Peace Hotel. If you want to go, there should be other ways." Ling Yiguang said. Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with great interest: "It seems that you have an idea. Can you tell me?"
Supernatural Light smiled and did not speak, but was calm. Looking at Yang Xiao.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, the thing you want has been salvaged, please see if it is this." Liu Qingqing walked in from the door, followed by two puppets and robots.
The two puppets and robots were carrying an old money printing machine together, with water still dripping from it, which was the water of the Ghost Lake.
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Is it really there?"
"Brother Yuan said there is, then there must be." Liu Qingqing came up to him with a smile, with an expectant expression on his face to take credit.
“Thank you for your hard work, your salary will be doubled this month.”
Lin Yuan gave a reward. Although it was also a very good reward, Liu Qingqing was a little disappointed, but she was still sweet Thank you sweetly.
Lin Yuan looked at the money printing machine.
Before time travel, he was an ordinary person. He had never seen a money printing machine, and he had never even accessed the Internet. Even if there was a money printing machine in front of him, he would not recognize it.
What's more, this is a money printing machine from the Republic of China period.
But Lin Yuan had a "gold finger", and he soon got the basic information about the money printing machine from the "gold finger":
[Instruction Manual of the Money Printing Machine]
[Variety name: unknown. 】
[Variety capability: Corresponding coins can be produced by adding special paper and ink. 】
[Out of control level: low. 】
[Sales price: unknown. 】
[Variety status: Broken. 】
It is indeed a money printing machine. It seems that this should be the one in the bank in Taiping Ancient Town. After being flooded by the water in the ghost lake and fish pond, it reached the bottom of the fish pond.
Unfortunately, it has been flooded for too long and is in a dilapidated state, so it cannot be used for the time being.
There is also special paper, ink and so on...
Lin Yuan frowned, which surprised Liu Qingqing on the side, "Brother Yuan, haven't the things been salvaged? Isn’t it wrong? It shouldn’t be!”
She has a very clear sense of the supernatural.
Although this money printing machine looks like an ordinary money printing machine, the supernatural power on it cannot be faked.
If her robot and puppet were not also supernatural creatures, she might encounter unknown attacks if she came into contact with them.
"There is nothing wrong, but the condition of the money printing machine is worse than I thought. In this case, you first ask them to help me move the money printing machine to the third floor, and I will study it carefully."
“Okay Brother Yuan.”
……
Dajing City Headquarters.
Cao Yanhua and Wang Xiaoming had been waiting in the conference room early. They were waiting for Cao Yang and others to return from the Peace Hotel to record the information about the game last night.
As the manager of the supernatural archives, Lu Zhiwen naturally rushed to the scene.
"Zhiwen, is there something wrong with your condition? Go to the Peace Hotel. The headquarters can still get a few ghosts out." Cao Yanhua noticed that Lu Zhiwen's body seemed to have more wooden textures. These are traces of supernatural erosion.
Lu Zhiwen put down the rotating pen, "Not yet. If possible, I hope to use the resources of the headquarters to suppress the resurrection of the ghost. If not, I can try my luck on the ghost bus. As for peace Hotel, that’s the last option.”
His condition is indeed not good.
As one of the three captains of the headquarters, Lu Zhiwen mostly works as a civilian, but his strength is a real captain level, but the path he takes has not yet allowed him to successfully become an outlier.
Just as he was talking, Cao Yang and others rushed back, and the meeting officially began.
This meeting was originally supposed to be a fairly ordinary meeting. Just like the previous meetings, as long as the information was recorded well, there was basically nothing else to do, and Cao Yang could wait. People go and have a good rest.
But when Cao Yang started to tell the background of last night’s virtual game, everyone perked up.
“You mean, last night’s virtual game was based on the ancient town of Taiping forty years ago?” Cao Yanhua became more energetic, and he glanced at Wang Xiaoming beside him.
Wang Xiaoming still carried the coffin lid on his back, his face was pale, and there were medical staff taking care of him.
I don’t know whether it was because of lack of energy or other reasons, but he didn’t answer the call.
Cao Yanhua continued: "In the past, virtual games were only used as an opportunity to solve supernatural events. Now it seems that it is also very helpful for our 'archaeological' work. Especially for the ancient town of Taiping, which has existed since several times. The supernatural place passed down ten years ago is still There are people and things inside. I just don’t know if there is any news about the store manager. This will be more helpful for us to understand the Peace Hotel and the store manager."
As soon as he finished speaking, he discovered Cao. Yang Yang, Li Leping, Zhang Lei and Zhou Deng were all staring directly at him.
The four top captain-level ghost controllers stared at him like this. Even though Cao Yanhua had a strong mind, it almost made his heart skip a beat. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me with such eyes?" Could it be that I was right, the store manager really appeared in Taiping Ancient Town 40 years ago?”
He just made a joke, but Cao Yang said quietly: "Mr., you guessed it right. In the game last night, we did see the store manager."
Involving the "store manager" When the topic came up, Wang Xiaoming immediately became energetic and his eyes shone, which was in sharp contrast to his weak body.
It's like a powerful spirit has been stuffed into the body of a sick person. It's very weird.
“Tell me about it.”
Three words, Wang Xiaoming spent a lot of energy. After finishing speaking, he started to pant rapidly. Fortunately, he did not cough, otherwise it would be too much. Difficult.
A trace of unbearability flashed in Cao Yang's eyes.
Wang Xiaoming's illness is very serious. It has been confirmed to be cancer, and it is still in the middle and late stages.
For ordinary people, this is a terminal illness, and they can only wait helplessly for the impoliteness to come. But for ghost controllers, especially top ghost controllers like them, as long as the ghost does not revive, any disease will There is no way to kill them, not even cancer.
But Wang Xiaoming has always refused to use supernatural powers to treat himself.
The reason is also very simple. He wants to be a pure person and does not want the supernatural to affect his thoughts and judgments, or affect his research.
Many people tried to persuade Wang Xiaoming, but all failed without exception.
Although Wang Xiaoming is extremely weak, his will is much firmer and more serious than imagined.
Putting all his thoughts behind, Cao Yang gave up the right to speak to Zhou Deng, because only Zhou Deng had actually seen the store manager in the ghost street of Taiping Town last night.
Zhou Deng naturally did not suffer from stage fright and directly told what he saw and heard.
Lu Zhiwen wrote quickly, and he could only hear the tip of the pen moving continuously on the paper, recording the information he heard.
"Is it just a glimpse? But now it is certain that the store manager does not belong to our era, but came from at least forty years ago, even sixty or seventy years ago, and according to Zhou Deng, forty The store manager of the year before last was not as strange or magical as he is now, but a normal ghost master."
Cao Yanhua's words made everyone look strange.
When can ghost controllers be described as "normal"?
But thinking about Lin Yuan's current state, a confirmed ghost controller state is indeed more normal than now.
"Forty years ago, He Liansheng and Boss Liu should have been young men in their teens and twenties, so they must have memories of the store manager's appearance. Perhaps, there is information record about the store manager in Taiping Town ? Contact He Yin'er. There must be a reason why she can stand so firmly on the side of the store manager. Even if she is not old enough, as a contemporary inheritor of Taiping Town, she should know many secrets. "Cao Yanhua made a decision.
Lu Zhiwen stopped writing, "He Liansheng is dead, and He Yin'er is keeping vigil for him. It should be seven days for the time being. If you go to He Yin'er to inquire about the information, aren't you afraid of being kicked out of the mourning hall?"
< br>"He Yin'er is still the captain of our headquarters, and The person in charge of Oyuan City, let’s go in the name of condolences, and let’s talk about the store manager. It happens that Li Jun and A Hong are still guarding over there, so just inform them to go.”
Things were quickly arranged, and the record of this round of games was completely completed.
Wang Xiaoming's body couldn't hold up and he was the first to leave, but the rest did not leave. On the contrary, several people rushed over.
Liu San, Wei Jing.
Their arrival also heralds that the captains and people in charge present will start competing for a new round of virtual game participation opportunities.
Cao Yanhua had a headache watching this scene, "Now there are only six people fighting, what about in the future?"
