Chapter 59 Amusement Park (13)

========

After seeing a27 off, he closed the door and turned around to find Jian Lin looking at him.

Jian Lin never asked too many questions about his personal affairs, but it was obvious that he had a lot of doubts in his mind, such as what was the Schrödinger's cooking skills of Yi Han, why he could always prepare delicious food, why he was richer than the old players even though he was still a novice... Now that the second half of the conversation between Yi Han and a27 did not make him avoid it, these questions were finally answered.

"So... you and the restaurant owner are really not lovers." Who would have thought that after thinking for such a long time, Jian Lin only said this.

Yi Han: ...

So your focus is actually here? We have been living together for a week. When did you see me meeting someone else? Where can I find a lover? Is it an online relationship?

Yi Han decided that in the future, Jian Lin must have less contact with that stupid witch. He was a good boy, but his thinking was led astray by her.

…

In the next few days, Yi Han did not rush to challenge the three-star copy, but used the rest time after passing the level to completely settle the store affairs.

Jian Lin and Black Panther were the listeners of the last conversation. Since they all knew about this, Yi Han no longer concealed it. He even took them to help clean up after the previous tenant of the physical store moved out, in line with the principle of making the best use of things (?). Of course, the main force of the work was still the mighty Black Panther. Its ability limit had not been solved. Although it was dissatisfied with Yi Han, it could not beat him or run away. It could only be a cleaner and a means of transportation. It did countless dirty and tiring work. After a few days, its leopard claws became extremely flexible, and its originally ferocious (?) and irritable personality gradually became peaceful.

With the help of various household spells provided by the system, the store was quickly tidied up. Yi Han planned the store layout on the app, imitating the fast food restaurant in the real world, set up tables and chairs, and bought several waiter-type puppets, and everything was ready. Many large stores in the main god space are like this. Even if they are open for business, the boss rarely stays in the store. Most of the time, the puppets are responsible for running the store. Yi Han is also very satisfied with this model. In the future, he will definitely spend most of his time on brushing dungeons and collecting recipes, and he will not have time to stay in the store all the time. Unfortunately, since the business license will take a few days to take effect, the store can only be temporarily closed after the decoration is completed, waiting for the notice from above.

At night, the two men and the leopard returned home exhausted. As soon as Yi Han lay down on the bed, he received another message from staff member a27.

A27: "The residential areas of ghosts and NPC employees have been opened for you, and the locations of popular commercial areas have been displayed on the map for you! When will you open a store here? I am already thirsty!!"

It also comes with a cat drooling emoticon pack.

Yi Han: …………

He also wanted to open one, but the store on the human player side hadn't opened yet. And he had no money at all, so how could he pay the rent?

The staff residential area, the ghost residential area, and the human residential area are actually not far apart, but because they are separated by the power of the system, there is no way to travel between them. After Yi Han received this message, the satellite map prop he bought before became longer out of thin air. In addition to the original residential area, maps of other areas were additionally displayed. Most of them were also shrouded in fog, but now more than a dozen places on the entire map have been lit up by the system, marked with the words "Five-star Recommended Commercial Area". It seems that these are the most suitable locations for opening stores that the system has helped to select.

Yi Han looked around helplessly. He was indeed tempted, but he really had no money. After all, doing business had to be done step by step. He could only wait until the first store made money.

"By the way, the online store on the NPC side has also been set up for you, and it can be opened at any time." A27 sent another message a while later. However, this sentence was not very exciting, probably because he was not an ordinary NPC, and even if the online store was opened, he would not be able to eat.

But this is also a good thing for Yi Han. So after some operations on the store management page of the app, the housework doll can serve both human and ghost customers at the same time.

The doll is a dead object and will never get tired, so after Yi Han goes to sleep at night, it is still working diligently.

It was just limited by the capacity of the iron pot. Although there were more and more customers, the output could not be improved because only a few portions of raw materials could be put in each time. The efficiency reached a bottleneck, and the supply of goods gradually exceeded the demand. Now there is only one iron pot facing two online stores. If a physical store is opened in the future, this problem will be more serious. In this regard, Yi Han has thought of a countermeasure, which is to use replica props to copy his own iron pot - it does not need to be copied completely, as long as it retains its characteristic of making delicious food. The replica produced in this way is estimated to be only B or A grade, but its original grade is too high, even if it is not completely copied, it will cost a lot of money.

The final conclusion is: he is still extremely short of money.

The next morning, Jian Lin went to participate in the system training again. Yi Han told him in advance that he would enter the three-star copy in the evening and asked him to go home early.

The weapon level in Yi Han's hand should be high enough now, and there is no need to upgrade it. Jian Lin is getting stronger and stronger, and can help a lot. The only thing is that the ability limit of Black Panther has not been solved yet.

Yi Han opened the game forum while eating breakfast, wanting to search if there were similar props that could solve the problem.

He had searched the human players' forum before, but found nothing. But now the ghost forum was open to him, so he went straight to that side this time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I clicked on the homepage, I saw a row of hot posts with my name on them.

[Shocked! The human master "y" who once caused a war of words on the forum actually entered the ghost area last night!! And he is not dead at all!!! Why is this? ! ! ]

[Have you heard? This player "y" is the one who paralyzed the entire amusement park level a few days ago! Does anyone know whether he is a man or a woman? ? ! ! ]

[So delicious!! The food of boss “y” is so delicious!! No matter if he is a man or a woman, he will be my goddess from now on! The fairy boss lady!! ]

Yi Han: ????

He exited the forum inexplicably and clicked into his own regular food shop online from the Ghost Mall. Only then did he discover that because he did not name his shop, the system automatically filled in his player nickname, and the name directly became "y's food shop".

Well, no wonder everyone knows that he owns this shop. Now he has been completely exposed in the ghost forum. Fortunately, among the ordinary NPCs, he only knows Jian Lin and Xiao Jiu, and the other NPCs have at most been beaten by him. Yi Han believes that even so, they can't resist his food, and at most they will scold him while spending money on him. Thinking about it this way actually feels a bit good?

Since it's already like this on the Goblin forum, then the human players should also...

Yi Han thought about it and switched to the human player forum again, wanting to see how exposed he was. But when he entered the homepage——

[Ahhh, this store is finally open outside the checkpoint! In my lifetime!! I am crying!! I don’t have to wait in line at the checkpoint anymore! ]

[Am I the only one who thinks this is so sweet! The store owner actually used the boss' nickname "y" as the store name, what kind of fairy tale love is this! ]

[Has everyone not noticed that this store is located in the system mall? Doesn't this mean that the store manager is a ghost NPC in the system? But the "y" boss is obviously a human player. This is so cruel QAQ. A human and a ghost fall in love, but they are separated by yin and yang. I am crying.]

…

Yi Han: ?????

Why is this trend even more confusing than the Goblin forum? What happened to these players? Have they all been brainwashed by the CP post posted by that stupid witch?

Yi Han looked puzzled. In his friend's email, there were even a few small gifts sent by Miko's friends after receiving the ice cream. Almost every one of them was followed by an emoticon such as "Come on" or "Hug and comfort".

...After browsing the forum, I gained nothing except a headache. Yi Han still didn't find a way to restore Black Panther's strength.

At night, Jian Lin returned home exhausted and took a quick shower, which meant he was ready to start matching.

"Don't you need to take a rest?" Yi Han asked.

"No need." Jian Lin shook his head quickly.

Jian Lin and Black Panther were both his pets, and they had to enter the level with him. In contrast to Jian Lin, who was refreshed after just exercising, Black Panther lay on the ground in a very passive manner, looking reluctant. It was not a good idea to fight the enemy in this state. Yi Han glanced at it and immediately decided to throw Black Panther to explore the way ahead as soon as he entered the level.

This time, Yi Han was matched with a three-star level, which was one of the recommended tasks provided to him by a27. Although the mode was normal, the personnel were somewhat special.

"There is a very powerful human player who has been in the game for quite a while. He has always been at the top of the leaderboard and will soon be promoted from three stars to four stars. Although his character value has passed the judgment in the previous one-star and two-star stages, the system seems to have doubts about him. Our staff needs to go and get in touch with him in person." This was the introduction sent by a27 in advance.

Recently, Yi Han had learned from him that human players who had reached four stars or above could basically sign contracts with the company and become staff, so the system was right to be cautious. Yi Han took on this task, brought the iron pot and chain with him, confirmed that the insulation box in the inventory had prepared various dishes with buff effects, and started matching.

[Level Name: Prison (Three Stars)]

[Number of players: 6]

[Level Description: Save your life and escape before 24:00. ]

[Clearance Reward: 400 points (basic points)]

[Failure penalty: Stay in prison forever, with evil spirits as your companion.]

The light and shadows in front of his eyes changed, and when Yi Han opened his eyes again, he found himself in a small cage.

The cage was made of iron with some rust on it, and the cage door was locked with a big lock. The space inside was very small, only enough for one person to stand. Yi Han was trapped here alone, and Jian Lin and Black Panther, who were supposed to be by his side, were nowhere to be found.

The cage was leaning against the corner of a room that looked like a storage room. It was not large, with dim lights. There was a smell of blood mixed with some rotten stench in the air. Outside the room was probably a corridor, and there was a faint creaking sound, as if someone was pushing something closer.
