Yun Luo hadn't thought about it that way at first. Yan Su and Xiao Bai were not alike, except for having a pair of silver-blue eyes, until Yan Su took action to save him.
After being together for such a long time, Yun Luo was very familiar with some of Xiao Bai's habits. Perhaps because of panic, Yan Su unconsciously adopted some of Xiao Bai's habits when he took action. Based on this, Yun Luo had a vague guess.
He asked that question just to irritate Yan Su. Judging from Yan Su's reaction, it was obvious that his guess was confirmed.
Yan Su froze in place, not knowing how to react.
After a moment's pause, he tried to save the situation: "What are you talking about, little boss? I don't know who Xiaobai is. Is he someone you know?"
As expected of someone who had been pretending in front of him for so long, Yun Luo raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Really? Then maybe I was wrong."
His tone was calm. He didn't show any anger at being deceived, nor did he continue to question Yan Su's words. It was as if he was talking about a very ordinary little thing that was not worth spending any effort on.
Yan Su didn't know what Yun Luo was thinking. The coldness in his eyes had faded away, and he didn't continue to dwell on this matter. This was what Yan Su longed for, but now he hoped that Yun Luo would show a little concern.
Whether you are angry or questioning, don't be indifferent like you are now.
"I..." Yan Su opened his mouth, wanting to explain. He had a hunch that if this matter wasn't resolved promptly, Yun Luo would completely disown him, which was definitely not what he wanted.
"You don't need to explain anything," Yun Luo said calmly after his initial anger subsided. "Let's deal with the matter at hand first."
In any case, now is not a good time to talk about personal matters.
"Okay," Yan Su looked at Yun Luo deeply, "I will give the young boss an explanation."
Wei Ling brought people over to clean up the fish that had escaped the net, and Yun Luo stepped aside and did not intervene.
With the people brought by Wei Ling, Jiang Mu's pressure was reduced. He quickly dealt with the people blocking his way and retreated back to Yun Luo.
"Sir, what happened?" Jiang Mu was alert to the people around him who might approach at any time. "I just heard Xiaobai's name. Is Xiaobai here too?"
Speaking of Xiaobai, Jiang Mu was a little surprised. He thought Yun Luo would bring Xiaobai with him, but considering how clingy Xiaobai was, he didn't come along.
"He didn't come. I was mistaken." Yun Luo didn't intend to tell anyone Xiaobai's true identity. Although he was angry about Xiaobai's expiration, there were some things he would not tell anyone.
Jiang Mu did not continue asking. He was not a curious person and would not pursue a question to the end.
Yun Luo could see that the people Jiang Mu brought were obviously stronger. With their joining, the remaining people were quickly dealt with.
Wei Ling reported the battle situation to Yan Su. Yun Luo walked over and gave an address: "There's another group here. I took care of them."
He glanced at Yan Su, hinting, "These people are here to take over Xiaobai. I think you should be interested."
Wei Ling didn't know that His Majesty had already revealed his true identity. He was just curious about why Yun Luo told them this.
"I understand. I'll have someone take care of it."
Yun Luo ignored Yan Su's hesitation and left with Jiang Mu.
The manor was quiet late at night. After parting with Jiang Mu, Yun Luo walked back slowly alone. The cold light enveloped the earth, and everything had a hazy beauty.
[Host, are you okay?] 007 asked worriedly.
Just like Yunluo can feel the system's emotions, 007 can sometimes also feel Yunluo's emotions. However, Yunluo's emotions have always fluctuated slightly, so 007 can rarely sense the host's emotions.
Today was an exception. He felt a sudden and intense emotional fluctuation coming from Yun Luo. This emotion was quickly suppressed by its owner and sank to the bottom.
Even though the host looks calm on the surface, 007 knows that the host must be in a bad mood. He doesn't want to see the host like this. The host should always be calm and not worry about anyone or anything.
[I'm fine. It's so late, haven't you rested yet?] Yun Luo felt a little warm in his heart at the concern from 007.
[Host, please look at my number.] 007's voice turned mournful.
[007, what's wrong?] Yun Luo was puzzled. [Is there any special meaning?]
[Doesn't the host's original world have something like 996? They work from 9am to 9pm, six days a week. Look at me, 007, starting at midnight and leaving at midnight, seven days a week, which can be said to be non-stop work all year round.]
007 just wanted to tease the host and make him happy, and Yun Luo smiled cooperatively.
[Huh? Host, the counterattack rate has reached 12%. There's one chance to enter a lottery. Do you want to enter now?] 007 checked the task panel and saw the counterattack rate had risen.
[Why did it suddenly increase?] The counterattack rate had been stuck at around 9% for several days, and Yun Luo was beginning to wonder if the task bar had stopped working.
"Let me see," 007 paused for a moment, then continued, "It's because of the Blood Lion."
Is the "Blood Lion" related to the protagonist? Yun Luo has observed that only when the fate of characters related to the protagonist in the original plot is changed will the counterattack rate increase significantly.
[In the original plot, a future ruler in the "Blood Lion" was one of the protagonist's admirers. Now that the plot has changed, that person can no longer be the ruler. The host should remember that person, the black-robed man who attempted to attack the host.]
[So it was him,] he picked up the water cup beside him and took a sip. [So, Yan Su did me a favor.]
"The host can handle this person without him." 007 didn't like Yan Su, who had deceived the host. His tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction. "He also ruined the host's plan."
Yun Luo originally planned to take this opportunity to train Jiang Mu, but with Yan Su's intervention, Jiang Mu's chances of taking action were greatly reduced. Although the purpose of training was achieved, the effect was much worse.
[You seem to have a big problem with Yan Su? I remember you didn't have any problem with Xiao Bai.]
Because he has evil intentions towards the host! 007 muttered but didn't dare to say it out loud.
[Host, do you want to draw the prize now?] 007 is looking forward to what the host can draw this time. After the previous lucky draws, 007 thinks the host will definitely win a good prize.
Yun Luo simply washed up and lay back on the bed: [Let's smoke.]
He was also very curious about what he could draw this time.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a bottle of 'Ningxianbi'. ]
As the system spoke, a light green jade bottle appeared out of thin air in front of Yun Luo, supported by an invisible force and suspended in mid-air.
Yun Luo stretched out his hand, and the moment his fingers touched the jade bottle, the jade bottle lost its buoyancy and was steadily caught by Yun Luo.
What is 'Ningxianbi'? The jade bottle was small, only about the length of a palm, delicate and exquisite. Intricate patterns were carved into the bottle, and it felt cool to the touch. Yun Luo removed the lid of the jade bottle, and a faint fragrance emanated from its mouth.
This is a fragrance that cannot be described in words. It is not strong, but it makes people feel refreshed, as if even the soul is cleansed.
[This is a magical elixir that affects the soul. Injuries to the host's soul can be reliably repaired by taking 'Ningxianbi'. Besides this, 'Ningxianbi' has many other uses, such as helping demon cultivators shed their inherent evil nature and suppressing demonic energy from entering the body...] 007 listed more than a dozen functions in a row, concluding, [In short, 'Ningxianbi' is an S-grade elixir, greatly beneficial to the host.]
Otherwise, why do people say that the host is a lucky guy? He can get S-level restaurants and S-level elixirs at any time. The unlucky people can’t even envy him.
[Also, the host received a bottle, not a single pill. You should know that 'Ningxianbi' is something that the hosts cannot even obtain in the system space. It can be said to be priceless.]
Yun Luo moved closer. The closer he got, the greater the impact of the fragrance. Just by breathing, Yun Luo felt that the injuries on his soul were showing signs of healing.
The bottle contained nine jade-white, round pills. Yun Luo poured out one but didn't swallow it immediately. He could sense the spiritual energy contained within the small pill. The dark lines on the pill told him it was of a high rank.
[If I take all of it, can I completely repair the damage to my soul?] Yun Luo looked at the small pill, thoughtfully.
The host's soul is too severely injured. Even partially repairing it is already the limit of Ningxianbi. After all, Ningxianbi is just a pill, and it can't cure any injury, such as the ruptured beast core of a male orc in this world. 007 explained.
Yun Luo understood. He took a pill and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.
Yun Luo's soul was seriously injured. He happened to encounter the collapse of the secret realm at that time. If he had not been brought to this world by 007, his injury might have been even more serious than it is now.
The secret realm is equivalent to a small world with its own rules. The injury to Yun Luo's soul comes to a certain extent from the power of rules. The injury to the soul is difficult to heal, not to mention that the damage to the soul is caused by the power of rules.
Yun Luo handed the second-hand dealer account that the system found to be useful to Yun Ye. Yun Ye was shocked by Yun Luo's speed, but did not ask any more questions. There were too many mysteries about Yun Luo, and they were not things he should ask about.
Yunye did not announce all these accounts at once, but announced them in batches. At the same time, he canceled all reservations under these accounts at once.
—Oh my god, Lingsheng Tower is moving so fast, how long has it been?!
——Don’t say anything, just grab it first as a sign of respect.
—Are you guys too fast? The reservation number is gone before I even press the button!
—The hand speed has probably been honed from being single for 800 years. [Shocked face.JPG]
——Can Lingshenglou really catch all the second-level numbers? So many talented people in the entertainment industry can’t do it, so how can his restaurant do it?
——Just wait to be slapped in the face by the person above.
After the news was released, there were all kinds of voices, including doubts. The reason was not for anything else, but that many of the accounts released by Lingshenglou’s official Weibo looked like normal accounts, without any second-hand transaction records.
——What’s going on? My number is normal. Why did you cancel my appointment?
——Mine too, I was planning to bring my friends here, I have screenshots to prove it, I had already boasted about it in Haikou, but the reservation was cancelled, me?
People kept raising questions and posting relevant evidence, which made netizens who were originally very confident start to become uncertain. Being caught second-hand is one thing, but they don’t want the appointment they worked so hard to get to be cancelled for inexplicable reasons.
Not only do they work in vain, but they are also labeled as middlemen. Few people are willing to do that.
—— Lingshenglou, please come out and give an explanation. You can't just rely on your words to say that we are second-rate. I don't want my clean account to be splashed with dirty water like this.
——This... I originally supported Lingshenglou's approach, but now I'm wavering. I don't want the real middlemen to be caught, but end up canceling a lot of reservation numbers that I worked so hard to get.
In front of the light screen, the yellow-haired man had a gloomy expression on his face. He had originally negotiated terms with the buyer, but when he woke up, the reservation was cancelled and his source of income was cut off. How could he be willing to accept this?
There are many people like the yellow-haired man. They are used to getting something for nothing. Now Lingsheng Building has cut off their source of income, causing the collapse of the negotiated deal. Not only did they not make a penny after all the hard work, but they also lost their account. How can they bear this?
Coincidentally, they made various statements on Starnet, emphasizing that they were normal accounts and had been misjudged, and asked Lingshenglou to give an explanation.
Some veterans thought they were acting in secret and that Lingshenglou couldn't possibly have any real evidence, so they started to stir up trouble on Starnet.
Their idea was simple. As long as Lingshenglou couldn't produce any evidence, they would insist that Lingshenglou had failed to arrest the wrong person and thus destroy Lingshenglou's plan to attack Erdao.
Even though they were filled with hatred, they had to admit that Lingshenglou had brought them a lot of profits. Lingshenglou's reservation numbers were the easiest to sell, and they could make more money. How could they give up such a big cash cow and only be able to look at it but not eat it?
The second-level officials were well prepared, and many netizens believed what they said and followed their lead in speaking out.
Those who defended and those who opposed it quarreled in the comment section.
——When will Lingshenglou give an explanation?
—Aren't you always able to respond to unexpected situations promptly? Why are you playing dead and not talking now?
There were too many questioning voices, and some fans couldn't bear it anymore. They were defeated step by step. Lingshenglou did not come out to explain, and the questioning voices became more and more intense. Some fans also began to remain silent.
Fans were worried about Lingshenglou and kept sending private messages to the official Weibo account asking for an explanation. Several big fans even took action to comfort the fans and contact the official account.
Yunye and Vincent saw everything, but they were not in a hurry to act because they wanted to beat the middlemen to death at once.
This is not the first time that Lingsheng Tower has faced such a bloody scene. Compared to the beginning, everyone is much calmer now.
Yunye was organizing the evidence, which was still found by 007 and sent to Yunye in the name of Yunluo's friend.
As Yun Ye sorted things out, he sighed, "This friend of the young boss is truly remarkable. He was able to uncover clues that were hidden so deeply."
Yun Luo just smiled and said nothing. With 007 around, anyone who left a trace on the Star Network would be found.
007 was very happy to hear Yunye's praise. He had always been worried that his system, as the host, could not help the host at all, like a mechanical pendant. Now that it finally played its role, he was very happy.
As some fans have said, Lingshenglou has never disappointed anyone. When the doubts reached their peak and more and more people came to Lingshenglou's official Weibo to seek explanation, Lingshenglou's official Weibo quietly updated a status.
Lingshenglou V: Don’t you want evidence? Click #link#
The exploding pot calmed down briefly, then exploded again.
——I’m impressed, Lingshenglou is so awesome!
——I have nothing to say. After watching it, only the word "wow" can express the shock in my heart.
——With such detailed evidence, did Lingshenglou invite people from the Security Bureau to investigate?
——What the hell is the Security Bureau? I almost believed it. Isn’t that the mysterious organization in the movie that just came out?
——There is no such thing in the Empire.
——Ling Shenglou demonstrated with his strength what it meant to “You can dance as you please, but if I move, I lose”, and then he unexpectedly struck with a heavy hammer.
——That's right. Those people were so noisy before, running to the official blog every day to ask for an explanation. Now that you want an explanation, where are the people? Why are all of them silent?
——Lingshenglou: Don’t you want evidence? Here it is.
——It’s okay if I get a hammer when I ask for one, hahahahahahahaha.
——xswl also swore that he made the appointment for himself. If this was a conversation between two small accounts, I could produce dozens of "evidences" in minutes.
—Huh? Where’s the person who was jumping around the most happily before?
After the evidence was posted, it became a one-sided carnival among the fans. With the facts right before their eyes, they became more confident when confronting others.
The "two-way" traffickers were too ashamed to speak out, their tails between their legs. The moment they showed up, they were attacked by netizens. "Two-way" has always been a detested practice, not just by fans of Lingshenglou and Yunluo, but also by fans of various celebrities, whose fighting power is countless times greater than that of Lingshenglou's fans.
The second-hand people caught by Lingshenglou are not only selling Lingshenglou's reservation numbers at high prices, but more of them are selling various tickets, peripheral items and other items of celebrities.
The fans who suffered greatly from this finally found the culprit and wanted to vent their anger.
The middlemen not only have to endure the anger from fans of various companies, but also have to face the anger of buyers. How can these people not be angry after spending a lot of money and getting nothing?
However, these are not things that Lingshenglou needs to consider.
Lingshenglou took the opportunity to modify the reservation method. The new method prevented middlemen to a certain extent and had little impact on others.
"It's finally solved, thanks to the boss's friend." Yun Ye turned off the screen and breathed a sigh of relief.
Vincent adjusted his glasses, a smile lingering in his voice. "That's right. Without your friend's intervention, this matter wouldn't have been resolved so beautifully."
In order to deal with the middlemen, Yunye met with Vincent frequently during this period, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.
Yun Luo sat on the single sofa on the other side, frowning slightly.
"Boss, are you still worried about Xiaobai?" Yunye suddenly asked.
"Hmm?" Yun Luo neither admitted nor denied it, and moved his fingers on his knees.
"Xiaobai hasn't appeared for several days. Did something happen?" Everyone in the manor can see how clingy Xiaobai is. Yunye has been targeted by Xiaobai for a while, so he knows better than others how strong Xiaobai's possessiveness towards Yunluo is.
Not only Xiaobai, Wei Ling also hasn't appeared in the manor during this period. If there weren't people left by Xiaobai in the manor, Yun Luo would have thought that Xiaobai had quietly taken his people away after asking him indirectly.
Vincent pulled Yunye and changed the subject: "Sir, what will the building next to Lingsheng Building be used for after it is completed?"
Middleton and his students worked day and night, and the new building had already taken shape. The new building was not far from Lingsheng Building. Vincent guessed that the uses of the two should be similar.
"It's the same as Lingshenglou, but the food there is different from Lingshenglou." Yun Luo planned to specialize in making dishes from the Lingpu there. The two places would be reserved separately and the prices would be different.
When discussing this topic, Yunluo and Vincent expressed their thoughts, "If it's just me, the limitations are too great. It would be great if I could train a group of people."
The side quest is to develop the best restaurant in the galaxy. If Yun Luo is the only chef, he will not be able to handle the work even if he knows how to clone himself.
"If you want help, sir, you can let Shen Yue try." Vincent adjusted his glasses.
Chen Yue? Yunluo thought about it and it seemed to be the female who came to the manor with Vincent that day. Yunluo remembered that she was a person with a delicate mind and a tough character. The housekeeper also had a good opinion of her.
"I'll ask him sometime. If he's willing, we can try it."
Shen Yue was naturally willing. After Vincent told him about this, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. The next day, he went to work with a black circle on his face and was asked enthusiastically.
Yunluo entered the system mall, and 007 told him that he had found a rare ingredient. Yunluo planned to go and take a look.
[Host, over there.]
Yun Luo followed 007's instructions and walked through the rows of shops, and finally found the shop the system mentioned in a corner.
The food was placed in an inconspicuous corner. The whole plant was emerald green, but the tips of the leaves were scarlet, and there were red lines on the leaves. Yun Luo looked at it for a while and could only feel the abundant vitality contained in the plant.
"Does the guest want this auspicious green grass?"
A hoarse voice came from behind. Yun Luo turned around and saw a man wrapped in a black cloak standing behind him.
"Is it called Xiangbi Grass?"
"Yes, the auspicious green grass can be used as medicine and can also be made into delicious dishes. It has the effect of concentrating the mind. If consumed by a cultivator, it can help to concentrate the mind and strengthen the soul. However, I only have one plant here, so if a cultivator uses it, the effect will not be great."
A single piece of auspicious green grass has minimal effect on cultivators, but Yun Luo didn't care about this. He walked around the shop again and chose two other things.
【Host, someone has come to our shop. 】
Yun Luo rushed back and saw a young man with fox ears on his head. His big tail kept swinging with the movements of its owner.
"Is the boss here? I want this."
Yun Luo looked in the direction of the fox-eared boy's finger and saw a big, fragrant roasted chicken.
Yun Luo had already dealt with the violent energy in the beast's meat. Time was still in the merchandise display window, so there was no need to worry about the merchandise spoiling. Yun Luo had made some food and put it in there.
After all, the meat of exotic animals and mutated plants doesn't look like they can be sold, so it would be better to make them into food and sell them.
The window is transparent, because time has stood still, and the roast chicken is still in its freshly cooked state, with the orange oil about to drip off and the surface glowing with an attractive luster. Just looking at it, the fox-eared boy felt that his mouth was about to water.
He was originally going to another store, but when he passed by here and saw the delicious dishes displayed in the window, he suddenly couldn't walk. He had been in the exchange mall for so long, but this was the first time he saw someone selling food here.
The system mall sells everything except food. It seems that everyone automatically blocks this kind of goods. The fox-eared boy was very interested in it when he saw it for the first time. Of course, he did not deny that he was very greedy.
Yun Luo took out the roast chicken and handed it to the fox-eared boy.
The fox-eared boy was stunned as he held a roast chicken that was even bigger than himself and said blankly, "It's huge."
You couldn't tell its size when it was in the display window, but when it was brought out it was surprisingly huge.
"How many points do I get for such a big roast chicken?"
Yun Luo looked at the frightened boy and wanted to laugh. "You are my first customer. I will give you a discount. Or you can exchange any ingredients with me."
The fox-eared boy had no shortage of points, so he happily paid the money.
Before leaving, the fox-eared boy poked his head out from the door and asked, "Boss, are you selling roast chicken next time?"
Seeing Yun Luo nod, the fox-eared boy walked away with a satisfied look on his face. Based on the size of the roast chicken, he decided to patronize this store more often in the future.
Half asleep and half awake, Yun Luo felt someone approaching. He suddenly opened his eyes and asked sharply, "Who?"
"Mr. Yunluo, it's me. Could you please do me a favor?"
Yun Luo propped himself up and sat up, and saw Wei Ling, dressed in black, standing not far away with an anxious look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Yun Luo hadn't seen Wei Ling for several days.
"Yes, Master," Wei Ling hesitated for a moment, "Can you go and take a look?"
