Bai Haoge's expression was calm as he declined Song Yuluan's proposal: "No need."
Song Yuluan had only been joking. "To a place where you have to fight with your bare hands, why bring a burden along?" she said. She grabbed Ling Jing and headed to the ticket machine to buy her tickets.
Bai Haoge didn't rush to experience the new courtyard. Instead, he asked Feng Yuanning, "Shopkeeper, I wonder what benefits this themed courtyard will bring to people?"
Feng Yuanning said, "Killing monsters can improve your skills, but there's a limit to how much you can improve each day. Ordinary people who haven't practiced before can't enter."
"I see. Thank you for letting me know, shop owner." Bai Haoge bowed.
He hadn't yet learned any martial arts from the novel, and he couldn't help but hesitate. Perhaps he shouldn't attach too much importance to the quality of the martial arts. It would be better to practice an ordinary martial arts first?
"Killing monsters can improve your skills?! Shop owner, you are worried that our training will be boring, so you specially built a courtyard like this so that we can play and improve our strength unknowingly?" Song Yuluan gave him a look of admiration and gratitude.
Feng Yuanning: “…”
No, she did it for herself.
However, there is no need to explain this misunderstanding. It is actually a good thing that the customer has this misunderstanding about her.
In her original world, those oligarchic capitalists still knew how to spend money to buy reputation, packaging themselves as great philanthropists in order to improve people's favorability towards them and make more people willing to buy their products.
Letting the leeks come to be harvested voluntarily is the highest level of capitalists.
So, why did she have to portray herself as a ruthless businesswoman? Wouldn't it be better to let customers be moved by her kindness and spend money to patronize her store?
At this time, Guo Yitang walked down the stairs.
Song Yuluan immediately smiled and waved, saying, "Mr. Guo, there's a new courtyard in the shop. The owner said it's best to go in as a team of five. Would you like to join us?"
Guo Yitang was startled. The handsome young man suddenly became excited and hurried downstairs: "Yes, of course!"
When he heard that there was a new courtyard, he didn't even have breakfast and immediately wanted to go in and see what was new.
Song Yuluan touched her chin, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "Now we're still short of two people. Who should we find?"
Ling Jing, who had been silent the entire time, reminded him at the right moment: "There are two more people in the restaurant."
"But they haven't finished eating yet..."
As Song Yuluan was speaking, she heard Ke Bingling's voice behind her: "Here we are, do you need some help?"
Song Yuluan quickly and enthusiastically invited her and Lin Wusan: "Yes, the owner said that a maximum of five people can go in together. Do you want to team up and go in with us?"
Lin Wusan hesitated: "I'll just forget it."
She had to save her money to pay for the rent and not squander it unless necessary.
For her, who had defected from the organization, living in an inn outside had no sense of security at all. If she died accidentally, she wouldn't even know how she died.
Song Yuluan persuaded, "Let's go in together. The owner said that we can kill monsters in the courtyard this time to improve our skills." Although she didn't know what the so-called "monsters" were.
"Okay then." When Lin Wusan heard that killing monsters could improve his skills, he immediately stopped refusing.
At this moment, the five people were finally gathered together.
Song Yuluan waved excitedly and expectantly, "Come and buy your tickets, choose multiplayer mode, and join the first line."
Feng Yuanning suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "Pay attention, the weakness of those monsters is the head." After all, the guests still have to kill 10,000 zombies to unlock the new theme courtyard, so this reminder still needs to be given.
"I understand, thank you, owner. You are so nice to us. I will try my best to help you attract more customers!" Song Yuluan gave a grateful look.
Yesterday, after finishing reading The Return of the Condor Heroes, she wrote a letter and asked someone to send it back to Jianshan, intending to lure other people from Jianshan over with the story of Dugu Qiubai.
"Well, whatever you want." Feng Yuanning's face was calm.
"Don't worry, shop owner. I won't let you down." Song Yuluan pulled Ling Jing and walked to the glass door first, opened the door and walked in.
This time they couldn't see what was behind the door at all. They could only see a glowing transparent light screen at the door. When they passed through the light screen, it was like passing through a stream of water.
After entering, Song Yuluan looked around and found herself in a small room with several tables put together and thin black screens on them.
That's right, judging from the material, this was indeed the display screen she had seen in the hotel, and it was very similar to the one on the ticket machine.
I guess this is another machine of unknown function - that's what the owner calls this kind of thing.
Song Yuluan let go of Ling Jing's hand, walked closer curiously, and fiddled with it for a while, but the display screen did not light up.
There was a strong, stale smell in the room, which was extremely suffocating, as if some meat had gone bad and had not been cleaned for a long time.
"This place looks similar to the owner's hotel! However, it looks much older, and the walls are starting to turn yellow and peel off." At this time, Guo Yitong's comments came from behind.
Song Yuluan turned around and looked back.
After Guo Yitong, Ke Bingling and Lin Wusan also came in.
Ke Bingling frowned and looked around, then raised her long sleeves to cover her nose: "Where is the monster that can be killed?"
She looked down at her waist and found that the long rope wrapped around there had disappeared. It seemed that she could only find a new weapon here.
After commenting on the room, Guo Yitang walked towards the door and tried to open it.
There was a handle on the door that looked like it was used to open the door. He reached out and grabbed the handle, pressed, pulled, pulled up, pulled down... Finally, the door opened.
Unexpectedly, a face with flesh rotted inside suddenly jumped into his eyes. The most terrifying thing was that there was no eyeball in its left eye, and it was full of rotten flesh.
That would have been fine, but this thing actually moved. It suddenly pounced over, opened its mouth, and revealed its fangs covered in blood.
"Ah——!" Guo Yitang was so frightened that his soul flew away. His mind went blank and his whole body seemed to be frozen. He stood there unable to move.
When Song Yuluan, Ke Bingling and others turned around, they saw Guo Yitong being knocked down by the monster, and then he screamed and disappeared on the spot.
Ke Bingling's face changed involuntarily, and she immediately rushed to a chair and kicked it towards the monster with her leg.
However, in her haste, she forgot that she had lost her internal strength, and this kick not only failed to kick the chair away, but also made her foot hurt.
Ke Bingling frowned slightly, endured the pain in her foot, reached out and tried to lift a display screen, but found that it was a bit heavy and big, and it was not very suitable to swing it.
The monster noticed that Guo Yitang had disappeared, stood up, and began to walk slowly towards the other people in the house.
Outside the door, there were some rustling sounds, occasionally some low and creepy roars, and the sound of people banging on the door could be heard faintly in the distance.
Lin Wusan took a running start, rushed forward, raised his leg and kicked the monster from the side, kicking it away and hitting the wall not far away.
The monster slid down the wall like a dead person, leaving a black and red blood mark on the wall.
Seeing this, Ke Bingling felt a little relieved. She temporarily gave up looking for a handy weapon and quickly ran over to close the door.
Unexpectedly, when they turned around to look again, they saw that the monster had stood up again and continued to stagger towards them, like an empty shell without a soul, and its rotten face looked disgusting.
Ke Bingling frowned.
Even if this monster's weak point is its head, hitting it elsewhere should still cause some damage, right? Why is this monster unaffected?
Song Yuluan looked around and saw a long wooden stick tied with a cloth strip in the corner of the wall.
She quickly ran over to pick up the stick, rushed towards the disgusting monster, and swung the stick at the monster's head.
Unexpectedly, the wooden stick had obviously been rotten for a long time. When it was hit, the monster's head was only slightly damaged, but the wooden stick broke directly.
Song Yuluan was dumbfounded.
The others quickly took the opportunity to search for weapons. Ke Bingling picked up an iron kettle, Ling Jing picked up a flowerpot filled with soil, and Lin Wusan picked up a metal statue.
With the combined efforts of everyone, the monster's head was smashed to pieces in a short while, and it died completely.
After a short rest, the four of them opened the door and walked out, only to see a long corridor outside.
…
Feng Yuanning did not leave, but stood by the ticket machine waiting.
"Ah--! Ah--!" Suddenly a series of screams rang out. Guo Yitong hugged his head, as if he was extremely frightened, and just kept screaming.
Feng Yuanning: “…”
I thought they would have a bad start, but I didn't expect someone to be eliminated so quickly.
Bai Haoge took a step back, frowning slightly. "Brother Guo, if I may ask, what did you go through in that situation? Why were you so terrified?"
Guo Yitang heard the noise and looked around, only to find himself back in the hotel lobby. He stopped screaming and rubbed his head awkwardly, "No...nothing. No, there was something. That monster was terrifying, scarier than a dead person! No wonder it's called a monster, it's a real monster. I saw that the monster's face was rotten! One of its eyes was missing, and its mouth was full of fangs. It was terrifying!"
Guo Yitang tried hard to explain why he was frightened. He patted his chest, still feeling a little scared.
Feng Yuanning explained, "They're called zombies. There are many different kinds. People, cats, and dogs can all become zombies. Different types of zombies have different characteristics. However, they all have the same weakness: their heads. Only by destroying their heads can they be completely killed. Otherwise, they won't die. These zombies aren't really that scary. They're just disgusting in appearance. Without weapons, it's really hard to kill them."
Compared to zombies that can be physically harmed, she still thinks ghosts and evil spirits are more terrifying.
At this moment, another figure suddenly appeared in the lobby.
The man was Ling Jing, and there was no expression on his stern face.
Seeing someone following in his footsteps, Guo Yitang's mood suddenly improved, and he felt less embarrassed. "You actually came out too? How did you die?"
Ling Jing glanced at him and replied simply, "Killed by a cat-like monster."
Guo Yitang asked anxiously, "What about the monster from before?"
"Killed."
Guo Yitang pressed the issue again: "So has your skill really improved?"
Ling Jing nodded: "It is indeed a slight improvement."
Guo Yitang couldn't hold back any longer. Although the monster did look extremely scary, as long as he killed the monster he would be able to improve his skills. This was such a good thing... it would be a waste not to take it!
As long as he could overcome his fear of them, he took a deep breath, rushed to the ticket machine, bought a ticket, chose single-player mode, and re-entered the zombie city.
Bai Haoge pondered for a moment, then said to his attendant Mao Yi, "Come with me."
Time is of the essence, he must start practicing immediately, so he can only swallow his pride and ask Mao Yi if he has any suitable exercises.
The two went back upstairs to discuss in detail.
Feng Yuanning continued to wait, wanting to know the results of the exploration of the first group of guests.
