I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 494 Strategic Resources Points, Death Drop Mode

Most of the players who participated in the virtual game last night came to the lobby.

According to past practices, there were relatively few customers coming to the restaurant to eat in the morning, but now with so many people, the empty lobby seems a bit crowded.

However, the few of them were divided into several groups.

Cao Yang, Wei Jing, Liu San and Zhang Lei stood together, and opposite them were Zhang Xianguang and Nie Yingping. As the two groups faced each other, some conflicts broke out in words.

However, both sides were very restrained and did not take action here.

"Boss Lin, you're here. That's great."

It was then that Lin Yuan discovered that Chen Qiaoyang was hiding at the corner of the stairs. He couldn't help but laugh, "Old Chen, what are you doing here? It looks like you've done something bad. Who are you hiding from?"

Chen Qiaoyang smiled awkwardly. He was just avoiding Zhang Xianguang.

At this time, everyone else also noticed Lin Yuan's arrival, and the originally tense atmosphere gradually cooled down. No one dared to take action in front of Lin Yuan, or in other words, no one dared to break the rules of the store.

This also made Lin Yuan breathe a sigh of relief. He was about to call Lao Fan to close the door and release the dog.

"What's wrong with you? It looks like you're about to fight?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

Cao Yang quickly explained, "No, no, it's just that we had some conflicts while playing games last night. We are staff members of the headquarters and we will not attack people who have not committed any crime at will."

After listening to this, Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Xianguang. Seeing Zhang Xianguang nod, he couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, okay. I've seen offline fights before, but not in the store."

After saying that, he walked towards the cashier counter, muttering quietly, "You are so old, but you are still acting like a child."

His voice was really soft, but everyone here had sharp eyes and sharp ears, so they could hear what Lin Yuan said, and they all felt a little awkward.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that Lin Yuan is not wrong if their conflict is really just because of the game.

This is the Peace Hotel. It is impossible for them to really have a conflict here. Just like what Wei Jing had said to Zhang Xianguang several times in the game before, any problems will not be solved until they leave the Peace Hotel.

After giving Zhang Xianguang a cold look, Wei Jing and others went to the cashier counter and asked Lin Yuan to help check the points.

In this game, what they gained was not much, but not little either.

There weren't many evil spirits that Lin Yuan had put into the game to act as NPCs, only a little over a hundred, and the total points added up to only 700. And there were 12 players who participated in the game last night, and the average score was only 50 points per person.

Of course, Wang Chaling doesn’t count.

He just "sneaked" into the game. Even if he killed evil spirits and ghost riders, he would not get any points. At most, he played the game for free.

The main reason, of course, is to stimulate Wang Chaling and let this kid make money quickly and unlock [Wang Lu's Diary], which can also increase the income of the store.

The points that Lin Yuan invested in the game were naturally not enough, so conflicts between camps would arise.

Even if there is no conflict in reality, as long as they enter the game, there is a great possibility of fighting, especially since Lin Yuan has not opened the concept of team formation and camps, so even if they are ghost riders on one side in reality, as long as they dare to take action, they can get points from their teammates.

So far, the number of points everyone has in the game is clear at a glance:

[Points ranking list:

1. Chen Qiaoyang: 340 (215+125) points.

2. Wei Jing: 185 (155+30) points.

3. Liu San: 142.5 (45+97.5) points.

4. Cao Yang: 144 (30+114) points.

5. Zhang Lei: 95 (70+25) points.

6. Xiong Wenwen: 80.5 points.

7. Zhang Xianguang: 75 points.

8. Nie Yingping: 25 points.

9. Boss Liu: 25 points.

10. Landlord: 20 points

11. Faceless Man: 15 points.

12. Zhou Deng: 15 point. 】

There is no score for Zhang Bohua, which obviously means that Zhang Bohua did not take any action in the game. Not only did he not kill the ghost rider, but he also did not imprison the evil ghost. No one knows what he did in the game.

Looking at the score, Cao Yang and others subconsciously glanced at Chen Qiaoyang.

Chen Qiaoyang had also gathered around. As long as Lin Yuan was there, he wouldn't worry about Zhang Xianguang attacking him. "It seems that I still have the highest points. Sorry everyone."

"Even if you have a lot of points, you have to be able to use them. Old Chen, you've been staying in the store for a long time and rarely go out. Is there any place to use these points? Otherwise, how about selling them to me?" Cao Yang said with a smile.

Points are good things. They can be exchanged for character cards. Apart from the consumption of points, there is no cost to use supernatural powers.

There aren't many points cards in the game right now.

[Dahai City·Supernatural Forum·Ye Zhen] with 150 points, [Dream Chaser·Zhang Xianguang] with 300 points, [Endless Cemetery·Luo Qian] with 800 points, and [Dadong Couple·Zun Wang Zhulu] with 500 points.

As for the 30-point item [Bloodline Inheritor·Young·Wang Lu], it was not even within everyone’s consideration. It was estimated that only Xiong Wenwen was interested.

To this end, Cao Yang and others have already discussed it.

Even if we cannot stop Xiong Wenwen from coming to the Peace Hotel, we must keep an eye on him at all times and not let him find the "store manager" to use his points without paying attention.

Today, these points are considered strategic resources and must be taken seriously.

However, [The Great East Couple·Zun Wang Zhu Lu] has conditions for use. Two people must hold the card at the same time to exert its effect, otherwise it will be a useless card.

Judging from the current points of Wei Jing and others, Wei Jing can already redeem the lowest value of [Dahai City·Supernatural Forum·Ye Zhen].

It is undeniable that Ye Zhen is very powerful, but he is not very attractive to Wei Jing and others.

The same goes for Zhang Xianguang. Their target has always been the last two cards with 800 points and 500 points*2.

Everyone knows that points are transferable.

At present, the total points of Wei Jing, Cao Yang, Liu San, Zhang Lei and Zhou Deng are 581.5 points. Even if they can persuade Xiong Wenwen to contribute his points, they still cannot afford Luo Qian's card. They can only buy a Zunwang Zhulu card, which is completely useless.

If Chen Qiaoyang's points are added, the difference between the two [Dadong Couple: Respecting the King and Chasing the Land] is not far off. At most, I can fool Xiong Wenwen...

Cough!

Of course, if Chen Qiaoyang's points could be obtained, then at least the card of [Endless Cemetery·Luo Qian] could be purchased, but it would be more luxurious to use.

After all, after buying the card, you need to continue to use points to "recharge" the usage time before you can use it normally.

But even if it's just for one minute, it's enough to decide the direction of a war!
Cao Yang's idea was good, but his bargaining chips were obviously not enough, so Wei Jing said: "We know your current situation. If you are willing, you can work at the headquarters."

After two rounds of games, everyone saw it clearly.

Chen Qiaoyang earns points very quickly, even more terrifying than Wei Jing who has unlocked the ghost messenger's supernatural growth restrictions. If Chen Qiaoyang can be pulled into his own camp, not only can he get points for free, but he can also gain a powerful combat power and add a terrifying enemy to Zhang Xianguang's team, killing two birds with one stone.

Chen Qiaoyang was obviously tempted. He had been staying in the Peace Hotel all the time. Besides the fact that he was indeed tempted by the "store manager's" connections, he was also afraid of Zhang Xianguang.

I was afraid that whenever I was active in real life, Zhang Xianguang would come and clean up the mess.

If he could get protection from the headquarters, his safety would be guaranteed to a certain extent. But he had lived for so many years, how could he not see that Wei Jing was trying to get something for free?

After weighing the pros and cons, he said, "I need to think about it. If possible, I hope to have a face-to-face chat with the senior management of the headquarters."

"Okay." Cao Yang and the others looked at each other and agreed.

"It seems like you guys had a good chat."

Zhang Xianguang's voice instantly made Cao Yang and others, as well as Chen Qiaoyang, nervous. They all stared at Zhang Xianguang with vigilance and hatred.

Lin Yuan saw all of this and couldn't help but whisper again, "It seems like the fight in the game was very intense. The grudges in the game actually extended to reality."

Lin Yuan's complaints broke the heavy atmosphere again.

Zhang Xianguang smiled and said, "Boss Lin, although I have only played the game once, I have a suggestion. Virtual games are very realistic and free, but as players, since you can fight each other, can you get the points dropped by the players when you kill them? Only in this way can it be realistic enough and more exciting, isn't it?"

what?
Cao Yang and his companions immediately became alert, and Chen Qiaoyang said directly: "I don't think it's good. After all, it's just a game. It's not good to be so confrontational."

"What's wrong with that? You said it's just a game. It's more interesting this way, isn't it?" Nie Yingping directly retorted. He was not polite at all to this traitor.

"I don't think it's a good idea either. After all, the purpose of virtual games is more about defeating the BOSS rather than fighting between players. If you can get all the points of a player by killing him, then everyone will probably be busy fighting among themselves and won't have the energy to beat the BOSS, and won't be able to complete the game." Liu San said.

Zhou Deng, Zhang Lei and others also spoke up to stop him. Zhang Xianguang's idea was really good. He knew that he couldn't earn points as fast as Chen Qiaoyang or Wei Jing, so he simply didn't compete with them. Instead, he wanted to kill them to get all their points.

In this way, they all became workers for Zhang Xianguang.

It has been mentioned several times before that points have become a strategic resource and must be used with extreme caution!
The argument was very intense, but everyone knew that the final decision was in Lin Yuan's hands, so they were all very restrained and did not make a big fuss.

But even so, Lin Yuan was a little annoyed by the noise. "Okay, okay, I have received your suggestions and will consider them carefully. Now do you want to exchange the cards? If not, you can all go your separate ways."

Several people looked at each other, no one chose to exchange the cards, and they all dispersed tacitly.

Zhang Xianguang and Nie Yingping stayed in the store. They had not had breakfast yet, especially Nie Yingping, who really needed breakfast.

Cao Yang and his companions simply chose to leave.

"That traitor left with them." Nie Yingping had been keeping an eye on Chen Qiaoyang, and when he saw him leave, he directly reminded him.

Zhang Xianguang ate his food leisurely, "Let him be. We are not in a hurry to leave today, as we have friends coming over later."

A gleam of light flashed across Nie Yingping's eyes, "I understand."

At the Peace Hotel bus stop, Guo Fan was sleeping in a taxi. He didn't get up after hearing the noise, but the noise didn't stop, which gave him a headache. "Captain Cao, if you want to leave, just leave. Why are you standing here? Captain Lu's bus has already left."

Cao Yang, Wei Jing, Zhang Lei, Liu San, Zhou Deng, and Chen Qiaoyang, all gathered here.

Just as Guo Fan said, Lu Zhiwen had already driven the supernatural bus around here, but the six of them still hadn't left, which seemed a little unusual.

And they came out of the store, and would not be "called" into the store by the watchdog, the starving ghost, Lao Hua, which is a bit like a bug.

"You should have heard our conversation just now. Are you ready to join our action?" Wei Jing asked directly.

He told Zhang Xianguang in the game that he wanted to block people at the entrance of the Peace Hotel.

do as promised.

He is a man of his word, and he also convinced Cao Yang and others. With the addition of Chen Qiaoyang, who just joined, there are at least six captains. If they want to deal with Zhang Xianguang, they may have a chance.

Guo Fan said helplessly: "Although this place doesn't seem to be within the hotel, can you really kill someone here?"

Wei Jing glanced at the few people and then said, "Guo Fan is right. I was a little anxious. Let's go back to the headquarters first. Chen Qiaoyang, since you have agreed to our offer of amnesty, let's go back together. As for Zhang Xianguang's situation, as long as you have money, you can buy his information from the store manager."

Everyone naturally had no objection, but Chen Qiaoyang had other ideas, "Wait! I have a feud with the captain of your headquarters, Wang Chaling from Dadong City. If I go to the headquarters, I don't have to give him a gift to apologize, right?"

"If there is a conflict, the headquarters can mediate, but the prerequisite is that you can get the approval of the headquarters. Of course, even if the deputy minister and others do not accept you, at least this time when you go to the headquarters, we will not take action against you. This is the credibility of the headquarters." Cao Yang said.

Chen Qiaoyang chuckled and said, "That's good."

After leaving the Peace Hotel, they came to the headquarters of Dajing City. Cao Yanhua and other senior executives of the headquarters were already ready in the conference room, waiting for them to come back.

There is no problem with the return of Cao Yang and others, but what about Chen Qiaoyang?

This is an extremely dangerous person, yet he was brought back by Cao Yang and others. He also intends to join the headquarters and seek protection from the headquarters.

Chen Qiaoyang did not hide his true feelings. "The reason why I agreed to Captain Wei Jing's recruitment was that I wanted to use the headquarters to resist Zhang Xianguang's pursuit. Of course, in return, I will abide by the headquarters' rules and handle supernatural events within my ability according to the headquarters' requirements."

His attitude was very sincere, but Cao Yanhua always felt that this choice was very dangerous.

only……

As one of the top ghost riders of the last era, Chen Qiaoyang is willing to join the headquarters. This is a very unusual signal and also means that the headquarters has gained recognition from more people.

The situation is now very clear.

There are far more ghost riders in the world than just those who have grown up after the revival of evil spirits in recent years. There are also those who are left over from the previous era, and even the era before that.

A large number of these people are in hiding and are unwilling to contact the headquarters.

If Chen Qiaoyang can become a role model for the headquarters, perhaps he can attract more ghost riders of the older generation to join the headquarters. In this way, the headquarters will have more sufficient staff.

Even though the emergence of the Peace Hotel has reduced a lot of pressure on the headquarters, that only applies to S-level supernatural events.

Faced with paranormal events that are considered unsolvable worldwide, the headquarters has more options and can handle such incidents without causing too much loss of life and property.

But overall.

The number of paranormal incidents across the country is increasing, so much so that the headquarters is still extremely short of staff.

Otherwise, with the current strength of the captains at the headquarters, it is entirely possible to gather everyone and go to the Peace Hotel to participate in virtual games every time.

Instead of like now, whoever is free can go.

As for the captains who did not go, they were basically busy with supernatural events in various places and had no time.

If more ghost riders of the older generation could join in, the manpower problem would be greatly alleviated. The only thing that needs attention is that Chen Qiaoyang is too dangerous. If not properly controlled, it is easy to lose control and cause greater losses.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cao Yanhua decided to temporarily accept Chen Qiaoyang's joining. At least from the current situation, his joining would bring more benefits than disadvantages.

After waiting for a while, Lu Zhiwen came back.

He had just got off the ghost bus and immediately rushed back to serve as the secretary and recorder of this meeting.

"Old Lu, your condition is getting worse and worse."

Looking at Lu Zhiwen's body that was almost full of wood grain, Wei Jing's eyes were full of worry, "You should go to the Peace Hotel. As long as you don't stay at the hotel, the impact will be minimal."

Lu Zhiwen shook his head. "No need. I now spend most of my time on the Ghost Bus suppressing the resurrection of evil spirits. I pass by the Peace Hotel at least three times a day. This frequency is already very high."

In order to maintain his own "purity", Lu Zhiwen chose the most difficult path.

Everyone present was well aware of this and stopped trying to persuade them. They then started talking about what happened in the virtual game last night, with Cao Yang and others telling their own experiences one after another.

Their experiences were actually very similar, and the one who survived to the end was Wei Jing.

After the number of suppressed people increased significantly, his supernatural powers were added to a terrifying level. If he hadn't been lacking in consciousness, he wouldn't have been defeated so easily by Zhang Xianguang.

After Lu Zhiwen recorded this information, Cao Yanhua said, "Chen Qiaoyang, tell me about your experience."

"no problem."

With the examples of the first five people, Chen Qiaoyang knew that they were not targeting him, so he was willing to cooperate. His experience was also very simple. He simply landed in the woods on the outskirts of Dadong City and met a group of foreign ghost riders. He killed them and then used the ghost herders' supernatural powers to revive the evil spirits after their death to attack the Wang family's ancestral home.

The original plan was to take the mysterious pendulum clock while Wang Lu and his wife were out and gain the power to restart it, but who knew that he would fail in the end.

It's that simple, there's nothing to hide.

Cao Yanhua was very satisfied with Chen Qiaoyang's cooperation and honesty, which was also the basis for the two sides to truly cooperate. "We won't ask about your past, that's your privacy. It's just about the Wang family's ancestral home, or about the store manager's traces in the past, so we still need your cooperation."

Chen Qiaoyang smiled and said, "That's natural."

You can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree!
With the headquarters as a big tree, Zhang Xianguang will basically not attack him directly, so he can move freely in the outside world, do what he wants, and collect resources.

His ultimate goal is to become the store manager's employee. After all, no matter how powerful the headquarters is, it is just an ordinary ghost-controlling organization, not... a god.

"Although you didn't come from the Republic of China era, you have lived for several decades. During this period of time, including when you went to the Wang family's ancestral home and were imprisoned, you have no memory of the Peace Hotel and its manager?"

This question did not surprise Chen Qiaoyang. "No. According to the situation in the game, the Peace Hotel should have been known to only a few people in the past. And the time I actually went to the Wang family's ancestral home was not forty years ago, but twenty years ago."

Twenty years ago?

Everyone present felt a jolt in their hearts, as if they were very sensitive to this moment in time.

Cao Yanhua did not explain too much. After asking a few more questions, he began to talk about what happened last night, which was the situation where the white fog ghost area covered the entire country.

Players like Cao Yang and Wei Jing just learned about this situation.

and……

"The store manager has covered the entire country with the ghost domain? No, it's just the country you think of, maybe it's the entire world?" Cao Yang widened his eyes.

Zhou Deng shrank his neck, "Wow! Really wow! Isn't this the Peace Hotel's version of the Peach Blossom Spring? The manager is really terrifying. He can easily do what Zhang Xianguang has spent decades trying to do. It seems that he really is..."

"But what's the point of the manager doing this? The ghost domain covers the whole country or the whole world for just half an hour, and then there is no other change at all? Could he be bored and want to test the limit of his ability?" Liu San was puzzled.

Li Jun sighed: "This is also what we are very confused about."

“Perhaps, I know the reason.”

As soon as Wei Jing opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention. "I didn't tell you some information just now. That is, in the game, I survived Zhang Xianguang's attack and entered the Peace Hotel. After arguing with Zhang Xianguang about the feasibility of the Peach Blossom Spring plan..."
