Chapter 246: Eating with Ghosts



This time, Ren Suo is ready to fight as he challenges the Hong Kong version of "Midnight Walker".

Although the protagonist is still a 50/50 weakling, Ren Suo has equipped her with "Xuanjun Secret Records·Chapter 1" and "Yinqingyuanque", "Luo Shen Jade Pendant" and "Pure White Holy Grail" - this is the best configuration Ren Suo can think of at present.

It was still an uninhabited place in Kowloon Park. After the female shop owner opened the food stall, she suddenly opened a drawer that had never been opened before.

There were two things inside: a jade pendant and a small white cup.

The female owner wrapped the jade pendant around her hand and placed the cup on the partition between the kitchen and the dining table. This partition was designed to prevent diners' saliva from entering the frying pan and to prevent the hot oil from the kitchen from splashing onto the diners, so it was not wide, and the small cup was not big either. It swayed a bit when placed on it, but it did not fall.

This was the first time Ren Suo had seen such a situation:

Items in the props column become real objects in the game.

Just when Ren Suo was stunned, the man in sportswear sat down again, silently.

As long as he restarts the game, the first day of the game is fixed, and the "customers" he meets in a city are also fixed, at least for now. Maybe as real time progresses, the first day of the game will also change accordingly.

If Ren Suo is really ruthless (ruthless to himself), he can try different seasoning methods for different customers until he finds the right one - although there are dozens of seasonings, based on the analysis of the "customers'" life experiences, the range can be narrowed down to 3 to 8, and he can just try them slowly.

It's just that it takes a lot of time to do this, and in places with high concentrations of hidden desires, you don't know how many guests there are in a night. The goal of the mission is 10,000 desires, which means it is possible to complete the mission, which means that Ren Suo must collect at least 1,000 desires in one night, and the child only gave 9.

Maybe there are hierarchical differences among "customers", with high hidden concentrations, customers with complex life experiences and many demands, and they also provide many desires, but receiving dozens of customers a night is inevitable.

Saving can only be done in the world map interface, which means it can only be saved after a day.

In other words, if Ren Suo wanted to use this almost exhaustive method, he could indeed find the optimal solution and clear the level day by day.

But since this game has a combat component, it means that 'getting customers to pay' may not be the only way to win. 'Massaging customers until they pay' is also a good way. There is no way to satisfy them with the taste, but only to satisfy their physical body.

"If the customer thinks he's eating shit, beat him up. If you can't beat him, cook another bowl of shit." This is Ren Suo's current strategy.

He still ordered a bowl of egg noodles, but when the man in sportswear was about to talk about his childhood, the small white cup on the counter suddenly glowed slightly.

The female shopkeeper picked up the cup, and the game popped up a prompt: "Do you pray to the pure white holy grail?"

The game pops up wish list:

"A cup of holy water with 1% prayer concentration: 3 points of merit"

"A cup of holy water with 10% prayer concentration: 30 points of merit"

Why does the in-app purchase option for this game appear here?

Moreover, the Pure White Holy Grail is a reward in "The Wizard Under the World Tree". Why would it become an in-app purchase medium for "The Ghost Walker"?

Even though he felt somewhat puzzled, being able to spend money was a good thing, so Ren Suo did not hesitate and tried the 1% concentration of holy water first.

So the female owner poured the freshly boiled water into the Holy Grail. After the colorless and transparent boiled water swayed slightly in the white cup, one, two, and three drops of crystal brilliance fell into the water. The boiled water slowly turned into white liquid, which looked like rich milk.

The female owner drank the holy water without hesitation. Ren Suo thought that if the concentration was 1%, then wouldn't a concentration of 10% be as thick as yogurt?

When the female owner was drinking water, the man in sportswear stopped telling his story and waited quietly for her to drink water before continuing to tell his story.

The effect of the holy water was soon apparent - the shop owner's skin glowed, and as the sportswear told his childhood memories, two words suddenly turned red and flew out of his dialog box, printed heavily on the screen:

"Father".

Next, more and more keywords were extracted: "colleague", "girl", "mask", "laughter"... and these keywords have different shades of color. The ordinary "colleague" is light red, "father" and "girl" are bright red, and "mask" and "laughter" are dark red.

Ren Suo thought for a moment and selected the seasonings corresponding to the keywords: "father's love", "friendship", "love", as well as "freedom" and "happiness".

He thought about it and changed "happy" to "understanding".

According to the depth of color, the concentration of seasoning is also small, medium and large. After finishing, the female owner pushed the egg noodles over:

"Your egg noodles."

The man in sportswear finished his egg noodles in silence. Ren Suo looked at him nervously. If he got mad and didn't want to tip, Ren Suo would see if he could beat him up with "Xuan Jun Secret Records·Chapter 1" and "Yin Qing Yuan Wan".

However, the man in the tracksuit just burped and said quietly, "It's a little too light, a little too strong, it's just so-so."

He rummaged around in his sportswear, and finally pulled out a cockroach - a cockroach.

"I don't have anything good either, so I'll give you this pet."

Ren Suo twitched his lips, but the female owner accepted it without changing her expression. Ren Suo took a closer look and found that it was still a good thing:

"48-year-old Xiao Qiang: Before entering a battle, the owner will first start a round of actions, and then enter the battle."

Although this thing does not add any attributes and is of no help in food manufacturing, it is almost equivalent to a magic weapon in battle: in a normal turn-based battle, you hit me and I hit you, but now with Xiaoqiang, Ren Suo's game character can hit the opponent once before entering into normal combat.

The man in sportswear left quickly, and at this time a woman in red sat down. At this time, the game screen jingled and the glow on the female owner's body disappeared.

"Do you pray to the Little White Grail?"

"With 1% concentration of holy water, you can only observe the desires of one customer, but with 10% concentration, you should be able to observe 10 to 20 customers?"

Ren Suo still chose the 1% concentration holy water, because his "Plucking Feathers from Passing Geese" privilege would definitely be activated, and the benefit would be at least -1 merit point, which means that even if Ren Suo received 10 customers, he would only need to spend 20 merit points at most.

And sometimes, "plucking feathers from a passing goose" will happen like this time, triggering -10 points of merit. Although it is not possible to get something for nothing, it is equivalent to Ren Suo getting a bottle of holy water for free.

The female owner happily drank the holy water and started listening to the story. After receiving 9 customers, Ren Suo discovered that the time flow of this game was exactly the same as in reality: the female owner set up the stall at 12 a.m. and closed it at 4 a.m., which meant that Ren Suo had to actually play for these 4 hours.

However, the tenth guest surprised Ren Suo a little.

"Hey? Why is there a late-night snack stall here? Hey, the boss lady is pretty."

"Du Liwei, what did you say?"

"I love you the most, Xiaohui. Don't be jealous. Come and have a midnight snack."

A frivolous yellow-haired youth approached the food stall with a girl who also dyed her hair. The girl's hair color was hard to describe, just a bit like wine red. They sat down, and the yellow-haired man still held the girl's waist, rubbing her chest and looking around curiously. The girl was not pretty, but she was pretty and cute. Her clothes were messy and her cheeks were red. It seemed that they did not come to the park to sleep outdoors.

Ren Suo quickly made a judgment: a bad boy and his girlfriend.

But then again, why would a normal person go to a deserted park in the early hours of the morning to have a midnight snack?

The yellow-haired man flicked the pure white Holy Grail and asked, "Where did you buy it?"

"What do you want to eat?" the female owner asked directly.

"Let me see... Boss, you didn't even write the price."

"Look at that, Liwei. You can get a free meal just by telling a story."

"Oh, that's true! But I don't have a story to tell." Huang Mao took out his wallet and said, "One hundred dollars for two servings of barbecued pork rice, is that enough?"

At this time, a new customer came to the food stall.

An old man coughing and leaning on a cane. He came over coughing, wearing a cotton coat and a hat, and slowly sat down on a chair. The old man had many age spots on his face, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he kept coughing.

"When did this old guy come?" The girl was startled and leaned against her boyfriend: "Are you crazy? Wearing something so hot in such a hot day?"

"Xiao Hui." Huang Mao hugged his girlfriend and said, smiling at the old man: "Uncle, are you hungry too?"

Ren Suo twitched the corner of his mouth. He was basically sure at this time that Huang Mao and his girlfriend were not the target customers of the "Zou Gui Dang", but rather a pair of wild couples who stumbled upon the "Zou Gui Dang" by accident.

That old man is the 'normal customer' of the ghost stall.

And judging from the old man's appearance, he might not be an ordinary 'half-awakened demonized person' - how could an ordinary person wear a cotton coat and hat on a hot day? Even wearing a long-sleeved sportswear would attract onlookers.

He is a ghost, and a ghost who died in winter. He has been wearing this kind of clothes since he woke up, and no one knows where he hides normally.

Among the 9 customers just now, Ren Suo probably saw 3 ghosts and 1 dwarf who looked like a demon, so he was not too surprised.

"You are unlucky to encounter a ghost during a battle in the wild..."
