Chapter 094: Eating Watermelon at the Food Court (22)
Mo Qianhe listened to the system report and felt uneasy.
But he did not regret letting Qin Zhengyi do it.
If Feng Xiansu threatened Liu Tang, he would attack her just like Qin Zhengyi.
Mo Qianhe took out the food court food safety management regulations that he had taken a photo of on his communicator and began to study it carefully.
Apart from some common-sense rules like "do not use expired ingredients" and "keep the kitchen clean", there doesn't seem to be much useful.
Later, the scope of authority of some inspectors was limited.
for example:
Inspections of shops or stalls can only be carried out if there is a report from a customer or merchant;
Solid evidence is required to arrest and question offenders;
Evidence must be obtained through formal channels, otherwise it will be considered invalid;
Only shops and stalls on the square's surface are supervised. The area below the cliff is a private area, and inspectors have no right to interfere in management...
After reading it, Mo Qianhe still didn't gain much.
In the Crumbly Pancake Shop, Song Xiaoyan had previously noticed that Feng Xiansu was taken away from the milk tea shop by the inspector in the distance. Now, when she heard the system broadcast, she knew that Feng Xiansu was under investigation this time.
But she hadn't taken any action to retaliate yet, so how did the other party get caught on his own?
Could it be that the original owner of the pancake shop did it himself?
No, Feng Xiansu had already cleaned up the shop. When Feng Xiansu was first taken away, Song Xiaoyan had confirmed in the shop that there was absolutely no way she could leave any evidence for the NPC.
Besides myself, who else would take action?
"Zheng Yi..." Song Xiaoyan dialed her childhood friend's number.
In the interrogation room, the inspector was questioning Feng Xiansu: "You said you got the evidence, where is it?"
Feng Xiansu took out a chip from the communicator and placed it on the table: "This was taken out from the charging compartment in the stinky tofu vendor's home. It contains the backup of the stinky tofu vendor's previous memories.
"I discovered that not only was the stinky tofu vendor problematic, but he also had a vested interest in the steamed bun shop owner. This means both businesses were maliciously disrupting the other's operations, and both were in violation of regulations."
The inspector nodded: "You did a good job."
Feng Xiansu looked expectant: "Since I've found problems with three stores, can I get through customs?"
The inspector looked at Feng Xiansu, his expressionless face particularly cold: "You violated the rules for the second time before completing the task."
At the same time, Feng Xiansu heard the system translation: "Before meeting the clearance conditions, the death conditions have been violated."
The girl's face gradually turned pale.
The inspector raised his hand and, just like when he eliminated Zhou Da, stretched out his fingers towards Feng Xiansu's neck.
Just as her fingers were about to touch the center of Feng Xiansu's collarbone, a piece of transparent crystal grew on the girl's neck.
[The item "Guardian Crystal" is automatically activated.]
[A little bit of protection from my useless brother is better than nothing. Duration: half an hour.]
The crystal blocked Feng Xiansu's entire neck like a neck guard, preventing the inspector from touching the girl's skin.
The inspector paused, his eyes flickering for a moment, and he said in a mechanical voice, "Interesting."
Instead of continuing to try to break through the crystal's protection, she turned and left the interrogation room.
Feng Xiansu sat back in the chair as if she had been pardoned, tears welling in her eyes. She stroked the hard crystal on her neck with trembling hands and muttered to herself: "Brother Yangyang, you saved me again..."
Although... maybe she would still die in half an hour.
In the bun shop, Qin Zhengyi was arguing with Song Xiaoyan: "Your evil value is already very high. I can't let you take any risks."
"Then you're taking the risk yourself, right?!" Song Xiaoyan asked.
Qin Zhengyi gritted her teeth and said, "That's better than asking you to sacrifice for me again and again!"
Liu Tang listened to the intermittent conversation between the two and looked at the top of Qin Zhengyi's head, the temporary store manager appointed by him personally, and noticed that the girl's evil value had increased from single digits to dozens.
He and Mo Qianhe looked at each other and quickly figured out the whole story.
Although Liu Tang did not agree with the other party's approach, perhaps this was the best solution for them.
But Feng Xiansu, although she has her hateful aspects, is also very pitiful.
Liu Tang thought about it and felt even more conflicted.
None of these three girls is absolutely righteous, nor is any of them absolutely evil.
At this time, the inspector walked into the interrogation room where the stinky tofu stall owner was, and Liu Tang's stupid nephew was still complaining.
The inspector stepped forward and said coldly, "I have obtained solid evidence that you maliciously bribed others to sabotage the milk tea shop's business. You will now be reclassified."
"Wait, wait, this is impossible! I'm innocent! Where did you get this evidence? It must be fake!"
Before the stinky tofu vendor could finish his words, the inspector had already reached out and tapped his neck: "The evidence has been confirmed to be authentic and reliable."
"It has been detected that the player's steamed bun shop is colluding with the stinky tofu vendor to bribe others to sabotage the milk tea shop's business. The boss unlocking probability has been increased by 10% and is now completely unlocked."
"What, what? What does it mean that the steamed bun shop and the stinky tofu stall are conspiring?" Qin Zhengyi stopped arguing with Song Xiaoyan and looked back at Mo Qianhe and Liu Tang in shock.
The other players who were still alive at this time also raised the same question in their minds.
Because from the beginning to the end, Mo Qianhe never told anyone else that the stinky tofu stall owner was Liu Tang's "silly nephew" in this copy.
Just as Liu Tang was about to answer the other party's question, he heard a female voice coming from outside the door: "Oh, long time no see, Liu...Tang."
He turned around and saw the dormitory manager standing outside the door, looking at him with a sweet smile.
The only robot with a "face" in the entire copy seemed to have evolved at this moment. Its appearance became more delicate and natural, and its expression was extremely similar to that of a human, making it look even more terrifying.
Qin Zhengyi didn't look closely at the robot's expression. What she saw was the logo above its head: "B...Boss?"
“‘Collaboration mode is about to close’ and ‘Competition mode’ is about to open.”
Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard the system notification.
In the fried skewers shop, Jiang Minxu gave Pavilion Master Ji a wry smile, "It was previously defined as a 'collaborative model'... and yet we're trying so hard to harm each other."
Ji Zehan thought about how he was completely immersed in revenge and felt a little ashamed, but he did not regret it.
He looked at Jiang Minxu and pursed his lips.
What made him even more worried was that both he and Jiang Minxu had used props, and he could no longer use props. Jiang Minxu only had one chance to use the props. In addition, neither of their innate skills were offensive or defensive, so if they were to fight against other players, they would be at a huge disadvantage.
The moment the system announcement ended, the players noticed that the customers around them froze in their tracks and then disappeared one after another.
The vendors outside the store also packed up their things in an orderly manner, left the food court and walked down to the platform.
The whole square gradually became silent from being noisy.
Apart from the conspicuous staff dormitory building, only six shops remain around the square.
In the bun shop, Liu Tang stared at the robot in front of him.
Her originally slightly stiff body has now been divided into smaller metal units, becoming more flexible and even able to easily perform movements beyond the limits of the human body.
Although her expression was vivid, her face had a strong mechanical feeling that was different from that of ordinary people, constantly reminding everyone that she was not human.
"Have we met before?" Liu Tang asked the boss opposite curiously.
The graceful robot sneered and replied, "It seems your memory has been completely erased.
"What a shame, it takes away a lot of the fun."
Mo Qianhe walked in front of Liu Tang at this time and protected him behind him.
Boss glanced at Mo Qianhe unhappily: "Humph, you are overestimating your own abilities."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved it gracefully, pushing Mo Qianhe aside through the air, leaving him immobilized and unable to move.
The robot's eyes flickered, and it looked at Liu Tang with interest. It asked, "Could he be... the reason you didn't go to 'Heaven' and insisted on staying? The one you absolutely must see again?"
Mo Qianhe was stunned. There was a lot of information in these words.
Liu Tang confirmed that Mo Qianhe was fine before turning to look at the robot. The other party's words reminded him of his dream in the "Cute Creature Tea Room".
In his dream, he had a conversation with a huge, ethereal being with similar content.
Could this Boss be the huge existence at that time?
Before Liu Tang could figure it out and respond, the boss had already waved his hand in boredom: "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway."
She turned to look at the players in the store, and seeing that there were only two of them, she raised her hand and pointed in the air.
Six screens appeared in the originally blank sky, each showing the six players still alive in the dungeon.
At the same time, a large screen and five small screens appeared in front of the players.
On the large screen in the center was the boss's eerie metal face, and the remaining five small screens showed the other five players besides himself.
Qin Zhengyi noticed that Feng Xiansu was there too, and her heart skipped a beat.
This person is still alive.
Although she had not heard the announcement of the other party's elimination, Qin Zhengyi thought that the other party would at least not participate in the next confrontation.
It seems that I am still too naive.
Song Xiaoyan felt a little complicated when she saw Feng Xiansu again.
Originally, in order to avenge Zheng Yi, she caused Feng Xiansu's death. Although she did not admit it, she was still full of guilt in her heart.
So when faced with the girl's revenge, she always adopted a passive defensive approach.
After that, the other party attacked Zheng Yi, and the guilt in Song Xiaoyan's heart was almost completely replaced by hatred, and she wanted to fight the other party to the death.
Now that he knew that Zheng Yi was willing to do it herself in order to prevent her from increasing her evil value, Song Xiaoyan suddenly felt a little scared.
She was afraid that if she continued to be entangled with Feng Xiansu, Zheng Yi would be dragged into it and suffer greatly.
She had to put an end to all this, Song Xiaoyan thought.
Feng Xiansu observed the expressions of the others and waved at the screen with a bit of mischief: "Long time no see, everyone. I'm still alive."
Everyone else looked nervous, only Liu Tang came up to Mo Qianhe's screen and said hello to Feng Xiansu: "I'm glad you're safe."
This surprised Feng Xiansu a little.
The bun-haired guy looked genuinely happy that he was alive.
The boss then spoke: "Next, the food court will launch a special promotion for popular food. Each of you will run a popular food store. At the end of the day, the player with the lowest sales will be eliminated~"
Everyone's faces darkened when they heard this.
It is worthy of being called a "competitive mode", which forces players to fight among themselves.
"Please go to your respective stores as soon as possible. The reward event will start in 10 minutes."
Mo Qianhe regained his freedom. He pulled Liu Tang and wanted to go to the stinky tofu shop where he was assigned, but was stopped by the boss.
The robot didn't look at Mo Qianhe, but instead stared at Liu Tang with a sly smile: "Where are you going? NPCs can't interfere with this event~
“Besides, you are an offender and my prisoner.
"You, come with me to the stands and enjoy it~"
As he spoke, the boss raised his hand and pointed to the roof of the part-time staff dormitory, where a fan-shaped glass stand had appeared out of nowhere.
