Global recovery: A century of being stuck in the game

The girl with twin ponytails pointed at herself with a puzzled look on her face. After seeing Tao Yao nod, she hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

She was just about to ask if there was anything wrong when Tao Yao handed her the paper in her hand and went upstairs without looking back.

The girl opened her mouth and looked at the paper. The words on her lips suddenly turned into air. Her eyes suddenly widened and she turned her head to shout at the group of people who were still cleaning: "Don't!"

Seeing her panic, others were a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

The girl with twin ponytails ran over and said, "Look at this!"

[Congratulations on becoming a member of the Happy Inn. As a waiter, you need to abide by the following rules.

1: The inn is only open after dark, so you can't be late.

2. Do not clean the lobby before opening.

Three: Provide the best service to customers and do not make them angry.

4: Satisfy the needs of the guests, smile and don’t give them the cold shoulder.

5. Do not make loud noises in the inn

6. You cannot stay in the kitchen for more than three minutes.

9: You can find food in the kitchen, but you cannot afford meat.

10: Ma Peng’s horse needs to be fed every day. ]

There were ten rules in total, and the second one was that they were not to clean the lobby.

Looking around, the lobby has been almost cleaned, and now all that's left is to clear away the garbage.

If Taoyao had joined their actions at the beginning, they might have violated the rules by now.

Although they don't know what the consequences will be if they break the rules, this is not a good place and they are unwilling to break the rules if they can avoid it.

"Shall we...restore this place first?"

While there are no guests yet.

Needless to say, everyone had the same idea, which was to just mess up the leaves and bones on the ground, without requiring any special skills.

"But, she clearly read the rules, why did she still go to the second floor?" The shorter fat man pointed to the second floor in confusion.

The fat man in the flowered shirt shook his head quickly: "Who knows? Let's ignore her for now, we..."

Before he could finish his words, a cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the door, and several people turned their heads to look over there.

Then a woman who was soaking wet and had long hair dragging on the ground walked in from outside.

Under her feet, there was a surge of black water, carrying a foul smell, as if it had crawled out of a stinky ditch.

She lowered her head, so people couldn't see her face clearly, but her body was bloated, and it was obvious that she had blisters.

Just as they looked over, the wet woman raised her head. The light in the room was still bright, and what they saw was a face that had been soaked beyond recognition, with her eyes wide open like dead fish eyes.

"Gudong..."

The girl with the ponytail swallowed her saliva, stepped back repeatedly, and almost screamed out loud.

This looks too scary!

Although the others tried to suppress their fear, they were not much better than her.

Only the Ghost Emperor and the Great Emperor looked relatively calm. After all, they had just gone through two games.

Although this woman was abnormal in every way, they were still able to remain calm.

Thinking of what the rules said, the Ghost Emperor took two steps forward and smiled brightly as never before: "Welcome, please come in, would you like something to eat or a place to stay?"

The third and fourth articles are both about guests, and they simply emphasize the need to serve guests well.

It was obvious that he couldn't rely on those people, so he had to do it himself.

The female water ghost looked at the few people with greed in her eyes, but it was the Ghost Emperor's voice that successfully attracted her attention.

So, the female water ghost's gaze fell on the Ghost Emperor.

It stuck out its tongue and licked its mouth, then sat down following the Ghost Emperor's instructions, staring straight at the Ghost Emperor.

The Ghost Emperor got goose bumps all over his body when he was looked at by the beast. He had a hunch that the beast had bad intentions, but since things had come to this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue to ask, "What would you like to eat, sir?"

While he was greeting this guest, a few strange-looking guys came in outside.

No one present dared to delay, and they all followed the Ghost Emperor's example and welcomed the person in.

It’s just that the guests came probably according to their number, eight in total, so one for each person was just right.

But Taoyao wasn't here, and everyone was busy so naturally no one cared about the last person.

After all, no one wants to die, and no one wants to meddle in other people's business.

The Ghost Emperor wanted to invite people in, but the look in the eyes of this female water ghost was too strange, and she didn't even order any food. If he just left like that, he would obviously offend her, so he could only wait where he was.

The last person to come in was a normal-looking person. He was a man in a light blue gown, with long hair tied up, as gentle as jade, and a book box on his back. He must be a scholar preparing for an exam.

But first of all, it’s not normal for these people to wear ancient costumes, not to mention how could there be normal people in a place like this?

He found a seat and sat down. There was a teapot on the table. He poured himself a glass of water and drank it. Then he seemed to be waiting impatiently and put down the cup and called out, "Waiter!"

Even when he was shouting, his voice was gentle, living up to his image as a scholar.

This voice also made the others anxious. The fat man in the flowered shirt just happened to hear him greeting the guests and ordering dishes, so he hurriedly ran to the scholar: "What do you want, sir? What do you want to eat? Just let me know..."

Before he could utter the word "say", he heard a "ripping" sound, followed by a scream from the fat man in the flowered shirt: "Ah!!"

Everyone looked over and discovered that the arm of the fat man in the flowered shirt, which was originally intact, had been torn off by the honest-looking woman wearing coarse linen clothes behind him. Now she was holding her arm and gnawing on the meat with big mouthfuls of meat with her head down!

The scene was a bit too bloody, which made Ghost Emperor and his companions very uncomfortable. But what worried Ghost Emperor even more was that this fat man had clearly violated the fifth rule. What would be his fate next?

And why did that woman suddenly attack him?

But now that everyone's guests have ordered their dishes, they have to go to the kitchen and ask the chef to cook them as soon as possible. It would not be good to keep them waiting for a long time.

The screams of the fat man in the flowered shirt were a bit harsh, causing the scholar sitting at the table to frown: "What are you yelling about? Is this an inn or a slaughterhouse?"

His shouting affected the mood of the customers while dining here, and also made them feel unhappy.

Hearing this murderous voice, Ghost Emperor and his men did not dare to stop for a moment and squeezed into the kitchen.

The moment they entered, the proprietress appeared in the lobby. She flashed to the side of the fat man in the flowered shirt and slapped him hard on the head.

"Crack!"

Before he could even make a sound, the fat man in the flowered shirt had his head cracked open and white brain matter got all over the proprietress's hand.

She licked her fingers without changing her expression, and looked at the scholar in a flattering manner: "I'm really sorry, he's new here and doesn't know the rules, I'll give these to the guest as an apology..."

The scholar looked down at the corpse and asked, "Do you think I need this little thing?"

He is really bad.

It has been a long time since he tasted fresh meat, but what happened just now still made him a little unhappy, so he didn't intend to let the proprietress go.

The proprietress's face turned worse, and she was about to say something, but she saw the smile on the scholar's face disappear.

The next second, the woman's voice rang out: "The distinguished guests are here, please come upstairs quickly, I have packed up the box."

The Ghost Emperor and his men came out of the kitchen with pale faces and happened to hear the sound, so much so that they temporarily ignored the corpse on the ground.

At the same time, Tao Yao had walked down from upstairs, stood in front of the scholar, and extended her hand to invite him in.

This is the distinguished guest mentioned in the rules...! ?

It was only then that they noticed the corpse on the ground and dared not approach it anymore.

The proprietress changed her ugly expression and smiled: "Dear guests, please come in!"

The scholar raised his hand and tried to pour himself a cup of tea, but before he touched the teapot, a delicate hand reached out, picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea: "Dear guest, please enjoy your meal. Please follow me upstairs later."

The scholar's hand holding the teacup was shaking constantly, and it was because Tao Yao was blocking it in front that those people didn't notice anything unusual about him.

But after trying several times, he still couldn't drink the tea. Finally, he simply put the cup down and stood up: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat anymore!"

After saying that, he wanted to leave.

The boss lady didn't think there was anything wrong.

But Tao Yao smiled slightly: "Sir, please stay. Since you have come to our inn, you must taste happiness. This is the purpose of our inn. Please don't make it difficult for me."

This made sense, and the proprietress nodded in agreement: "That's right! You haven't eaten yet, you can't leave."

Scholar: "..."

After a moment, he lifted his clothes and strode towards the stairs.

Taoyao followed.

With the scholar's departure, the pressure felt by Ghost Emperor and the others was reduced a lot.

God knows, when the scholar’s ​​face changed just now, they all felt an invisible oppressive force, as if they would be crushed to death by that force in the next second!

Fortunately he left.

After the matter here was resolved, the proprietress asked them to send the body on the ground to the kitchen, and then she left with her slender waist twisted.

On the other side, the scholar followed Taoyao upstairs.

Taoyao had indeed cleaned the private room upstairs in advance, and it was spotless inside.

As soon as I came in, the door behind me slammed shut.

The scholar's face turned clear, then purple, and then purple, then white.

Behind her, Tao Yao clenched her fists, making a crisp crackling sound, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

The next second, he punched the scholar in front of him!

However, the expected scene did not happen. She only saw the scholar suddenly turned his head and knelt on the ground with a "thump"!

He raised his hands high: "Please spare my life, sir!!"

Tao Yao retracted his fist, his face full of doubt and his eyes a little strange: "You, what did you call me?"

The scholar slowly raised his head, with a somewhat flattering smile on his face: "Sir, I call you Sir! Don't you recognize me? I am Yu Ze..."

Yu Ze was the scholar's name during his lifetime.

Taoyao did know him.

After all, she had been to this Happy Inn before and had suffered a lot.

This is the only rule-based ghost story type copy on the first floor of Lingyou Tower, and it is also the only copy on the first floor where she failed.

Because surviving for three days is a trap. After surviving for three days, you have to leave here, otherwise you may be trapped here.

It took her a lot of effort to finally leave here.

And during this period, she died here once.

There was no way. Games like Ghost Stories were all about trial and error. After all, she had never played it before.

Yu Ze is the strongest monster on the first floor of Lingyou Tower, and can also be said to be the boss here.

His strength is unquestionable, which is why the proprietress was so afraid of him just now.

Normally, given his status, he should have been invited to the second floor as soon as he entered the inn, but he didn't want to put on airs and deliberately stayed on the first floor.

The reason, of course, is because I want to eat fresh meat.

However, Tao Yao was a little confused. She remembered these things, but judging from Yu Ze's behavior, it seemed that he also remembered them.

She looked at Yu Ze, a little dazed.

After a long while, she came back to her senses, turned around and sat down at the table: "You remember me..."

The voice was very soft, but it was loud enough for Yu Ze to hear. He got up from the ground and smiled gently: "Yes, how could I forget you, my Lord?"

Tao Yao almost killed him before he passed the Happy Inn. It would be strange if he didn't remember it.

Tao Yao nodded and reached out to touch the teacup. The next second, Yu Ze poured her a cup of tea and gave her a flattering smile when Tao Yao looked over.

Tao Yao took a sip of tea and lowered her eyes.

Yes……

These strange things are real and are not so-called NPCs, so it is normal for this person to remember her.

After all, no matter whether she was before the internal test or now, she came to Lingyou Tower as herself, and there was no chance to tweak her face.

But...it seemed that he was the only one who remembered her, but the proprietress didn't remember her.

Why is this?

As if he saw through her confusion, Yu Ze coughed lightly and said, "After all, I am the strongest being here, so of course I know more than other weirdos."

Is it because of strength?

Tao Yao glanced at him but didn't ask anything yet.

Yu Ze immediately raised his hand and explained: "Actually it's not just because of this. I've been to the second floor before and heard about you, so I deliberately remembered it..."

Tao Yao: "..."

It turns out they can also go to other floors?

Taoyao really didn't know this.

"Heard of me?"

Yu Ze nodded: "You said you are immortal. You can appear in the dungeon again after dying many times. You will not leave completely until the dungeon is cleared. Those guys are suffering because of you."

In that case, it was her fault?

Tao Yao couldn't help but laugh: "You can only go to the second floor, right?"

Yu Ze: "Yes, the strength is not enough..."

In other words, if you are strong enough, you can live in a better level, which is somewhat similar to these players.

"Sir, shall I get you out now? We don't deserve to stay here!"
