Cook in full swing in an escape game

Chapter 28 Platform: I want to open a restaurant 2

Lin Sheng couldn't believe his eyes, it was a little boy who controlled the economic lifeline of the "platform"? !What are you kidding? ? ?

The person in front of him was undoubtedly the kid who showed him the way and asked him to go to the weapon store to buy something for self-defense.

Facing this situation, Lin Sheng couldn't calm down for a long time.

He originally thought Zhou Muchen was a middle-aged uncle, why is this so? ! ! !

Zhou Muchen is obviously used to other people's fuss. He didn't explain his age, but just cut to the chase: "No one in "Sky Screen" has ever opened a restaurant. The food here is too expensive. Even opening a restaurant is only the privilege of a few people. , I’ll try your skills first, and if I pass the test, I can consider letting you be my personal chef.”

Zhou Muchen tilted his feet, bit by bit, his chin slightly raised, and he looked like he was waiting for others to please him. It could be seen that he was used to being held up when he grew up.

Lin Sheng sighed inwardly, reluctantly accepting the assumption that some people are rich before they reach school age.

"It's okay as a personal chef, I still want to open a shop."

Otherwise, how troublesome it would be to look at this rich kid every day.

He took out the cookbook and took out all kinds of dishes from it, one plate for each, and soon covered the whole table.

Seeing this, Zhou Muchen finally showed a look of surprise.

The steaming hot food exudes a strong aroma, which makes the mouth water and the appetite is wide open. Zhou Muchen couldn't wait for the servant to feed it into his mouth one by one, so he grabbed a piece of ribs and started chewing.

The man (boy) who held the lifeline of the economy suddenly lit up, "...delicious!"

In the world of "Sky Curtain", although Zhou Muchen is as rich as a country, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. It is uncertain what ingredients the player can bring out from the dungeon. He knows that he wants to make such a banquet, not to mention the main ingredients , Even the ingredients such as onion, ginger and garlic are very scarce.

There is a price but no market, even Zhou Muchen himself can't do anything about it.

The young master stretched out his short arms to get more food, and the butler trotted all the way to the back kitchen to fetch a pair of chopsticks, at least to save the young master's rude and barbaric eating.

Zhou Muchen put one chopstick to the left and the other to the right. It was so delicious that he couldn’t stop. He even asked the butler to remove the desserts to make room for them. The bodyguards behind him saw him in a storm, and began to salivate without obeying the order.

"Although the dishes you cook are weird, they taste pretty good." The young master commented with puffed cheeks.

strange?

Lin Sheng was thinking about which dish was strange, but Dai Yi kept silent and moved the plate of pasta to the corner.

Lin Sheng: "..." That's how it turned out.

Except for the plate of instant noodles, the other dishes were all good. (forced smile)

With Zhou Muchen's affirmation, a stone in Lin Sheng's heart finally fell to the ground. He thought today's meeting was a business negotiation, but unexpectedly, it was presented in the form of a food appreciation conference.

Fortunately, Zhou Muchen had a good time eating, and Lin Sheng estimated that the renting of the store was naturally half done.

Zhou Muchen kept talking. After a long time, he finally couldn't eat anymore, so he took the time to ask, "Have you considered the cost of ingredients?"

Lin Sheng: "The cost is controllable, about 1000 per dish."

Zhou Muchen glanced at him and said nothing.

1000?It's almost the price of cabbage, but to get such a low cost, the other party's business secrets must be involved. Zhou Muchen knew that it was useless to ask.

As a businessman, when he learned that someone had such a powerful prop, Zhou Muchen's first reaction was not to study the function of this prop in depth, but how much money he could make by using other people's props.

It is no wonder that a restaurant that serves delicious food at a low price will create waves in the "platform", and the profits will be very considerable.

Zhou Muchen said while drinking water: "I am very optimistic about your restaurant. There is a store in the city center that is still vacant. You can open a restaurant there."

Hearing this, Dai Yi couldn't help but look sideways. It seemed that Lin Sheng was going well. Zhou Muchen actually rented the storefront in the city center to him directly. This guy is lucky.

However, Lin Sheng himself was thinking about another problem.

"Downtown? Isn't the rent expensive there?"

Zhou Muchen took the handkerchief handed over by the butler, wiped his mouth, and said lightly, "It's not expensive, 100 million per month."

Lin Sheng had a black question mark on his face: ...? ? ?

He suddenly had a sense of who I am, where I am, and what I am doing. Is this the world of the rich? 100 million is actually not expensive!

Seeing that he stopped talking, Zhou Muchen said: "Is it too expensive? There are cheaper ones, 80 yuan per month, but the location is not good. The most important thing for you to open a restaurant is the flow of customers. It is not good to save the 20 yuan in rent." Cost-effective."

The air suddenly became quiet. Is this what Lin Sheng is worried about?Is he short of this 20 people?He doesn't even have 20!

Looking at Zhou Muchen's slightly childish eyes, Lin Sheng suddenly felt that his throat was so dry that it was smoking, so he took a big gulp from the water glass.

Zhou Muchen rubbed his bulging belly and pouted, "80 is too expensive? Then how much money do you have?"

Lin Sheng pouted: "I only have one hundred thousand in my hand."

The waiter at the dessert shop happened to come over to serve desserts for the guests. Hearing what Lin Sheng said, the waiter gave him a look of pity and contempt.

Lin Sheng: ... T_T

This is awkward.

How could he have thought that the rent would be so expensive?

Lin Sheng sighed and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt you, I'm sorry for wasting your time, but I really don't have 100 million."

Lin Sheng got up and wanted to leave. He couldn't stay in this embarrassing situation for a second. It seemed that if he wanted to open a restaurant, he could only clear a few more games to slowly save money.

"and many more."

Zhou Muchen suddenly blocked Lin Sheng's way.

"Give up like this? Don't you think it's a pity? After all, I may not rent the shop in the city center to you next time."

"However... I think your cooking skills are very good, and you are also very optimistic about your restaurant. How about this."

"I have roughly calculated that you need about 500 million start-up funds. Although you lack funds now, I am willing to invest in shares. The profit will be [-]% to [-]%. I will give you three."

Zhou Muchen tidied up his clothes, and a sly and shrewd light flashed in his childish eyes, which was extremely inconsistent with his petite figure.

"Because it is a wholly-owned shareholder, this share can be regarded as okay. I will pay for the technology and you will pay for the technology, and the rent of the store will be calculated separately."

"After all, you don't need to consider the cost of ingredients, and you can make a steady profit without losing money. Do you want to go back and think about it?"

Hearing this, Dai Yi glanced at Lin Sheng, and the situation became complicated.

Lin Sheng stopped in his tracks and squinted his eyes to look at the young master in front of him.

What a smart idea!

One cannot be judged by one's appearance, the body of this school-age child is definitely not the soul of a child!

After hearing what the other party said just now, Lin Sheng had reason to believe that the other party should have been plotting against him a long time ago—as a newcomer, it is impossible for him to have too many gold coins on hand, so Zhou Muchen first proposed a price that he could not afford to pay. The price, and then look for opportunities to express investment.

Although Lin Sheng didn't know whether the [-]-[-] cents were fair, but once he agreed to Zhou Muchen's proposal, he would be given a large portion of all the hotel's income in the future, and as the only investor, Zhou Muchen would definitely treat him with respect. If you tell me how to manage, wouldn't you be reduced to a worker again?

After thinking for a while, Lin Sheng resolutely refused: "Thank you for your kindness, I'll talk about it after I have saved enough money."

He is really a shrewd fox. Although Lin Sheng can't play with him, he can always avoid him. Renting a restaurant is not the only way to open a restaurant. It should be possible to become a mobile dining car...

"You stop!"

Zhou Muchen blocked it again, but this time he was obviously a lot more excited.

In fact, he likes Lin Sheng's food very much. To be honest, he likes it very much. If possible, he hopes to eat this kind of banquet every day. Such a wish makes him unable to bear to watch Lin Sheng leave. What if he is here with him? Frustrated, why don't you open a restaurant if you can't think about it?Then where will I eat these things in the future?

In "Sky Curtain", Lin Sheng is the only one who can cook such a rich meal. For this reason, Zhou Muchen gritted his teeth at Lin Sheng, who was not good at oil and salt, but couldn't leave him.

Zhou Muchen only hoped that Lin Sheng would definitely open the restaurant, and was even willing to give him a discount on the rent, but Lin Sheng only had [-] in his hand, and the discount alone was not enough, and he might break his bones.

He was at a loss, but at this moment, the butler walked up with a wink, bent down and whispered a few words beside Zhou Muchen.

Seeing this, Zhou Muchen's bodyguards blocked Lin Sheng's way, but Lin Sheng couldn't resist them, so he had to turn his head and look at the two young masters for no reason.

The butler took a few steps back after finishing his small talk. Zhou Muchen looked at the remaining dishes on the table, and seemed to be still hesitating, but after only a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, stood up and said:

"Well, I'm going to enter the next game in two days. The bodyguards have been found, and now there is a shortage of a chef. The appearance fee is 100 million. Will you come?"

Back home, Lin Sheng tossed and turned in bed thinking about what happened today.

The shock towards Zhou Muchen had gradually subsided, and Lin Sheng began to calculate the financial account in his heart.

Now, he also has a rough idea of ​​the price system of "Sky Curtain". Although 100 million yuan can only buy [-] cakes in the dessert shop, it is still very valuable outside.

Dai Yi said that after clearing the novice level, the system will automatically match the player with a copy of normal difficulty, and the copy of nightmare difficulty needs to be manually unlocked.This also means that if the player does not want to enter the nightmare difficulty dungeon, he can stay on the "platform" for the rest of his life and keep clearing the normal difficulty dungeon.

In contrast, the gold coin rewards for normal difficulty dungeons are maintained at around [-]. If you save gold coins by clearing levels by yourself, you still need to pass nine levels to pay one month's rent.

This process is too long, and it is not worthwhile.

It was also because of this that Lin Sheng finally agreed to the errand offered by Zhou Muchen.

Lin Sheng could tell that Zhou Muchen liked his food very much, and he was so rich that it was impossible for him to kill himself for money, so no matter from which point of view, this was a fat job, and there was no reason not to accept it.

Perhaps in the short term, Zhou Muchen's bid of 100 million to hire a chef was a loss, but Lin Sheng believes that if his own restaurant can be opened, then in the long run, the benefits to Zhou Muchen will definitely be more than 100 million.

After all the calculations, Zhou Muchen's move was a good deal.

When leaving the dessert shop, Zhou Muchen gave Lin Sheng a red string, the kind tied around his wrist, and he asked Lin Sheng to wear it when he entered the dungeon, so that they would be matched together.

Lin Sheng turned over and stroked the orange cat nestled in a ball with his hand wearing a red rope.

Now that he had agreed to play the game with him, Lin Sheng began to think about it—in addition to himself, Zhou Muchen also brought a bodyguard into the game, but he did not disclose the information about that person at all.

It can be seen that Zhou Muchen's shrewdness is not only reflected in business, he is also very vigilant, which makes Lin Sheng curious, how old is Zhou Muchen this year?

......

The next day, Lin Sheng got up early and went to the central square. Last time he saw the spectacular scene of the guild recruiting new recruits in this place, but this time, Lin Sheng didn't go there for the guild.

In the central square, Lin Sheng thought he would see a long queue of novice players, but to his surprise, there was no one there this time!

Only a few passers-by passed by in the empty central square, and there was no one in the booths of the major guilds, as if all the people disappeared overnight.

Lin Sheng asked a passer-by about this strange scene, but the other party said: "What's so strange about this, the new season of guild rankings will be coming soon, all major guilds are busy with this matter, I guess there is no time to recruit new ones .”

It turned out to be like this. Lin Sheng thought that the number one guild like Heart of Rose was the boss of ten thousand years. It seems that they are also very concerned about the ranking of the new season. Lin Sheng didn't know that it was because Heart of Rose was serious. A strong competitor still appeared, but who cares, I still have things to do.

The city hall stands right in front of the central square. It is a retro-style single building. Lin Sheng entered the city hall. There are several rows of seats on both sides of the hall. There is a screen in front of the seats. Lin Sheng found an empty seat to sit. down.

The face recognition passed the authentication quickly, the screen lit up, and a dialog box popped up in the middle.

[Player Lin Sheng successfully logged into the municipal system

[List Query][Registration Guild][Question Feedback]

Stay tuned for more features! 】

In the optical brain era, such equipment is obviously a little backward, but for the sake of system security, the municipal system is not open to the public, so players can only log in to the system when they come to the city hall.

Lin Sheng chose the first [List Query] function.

Guild scoreboard, personal scoreboard, wealth list, arena PK scoreboard..., Lin Sheng slid his finger, and his eyes fell on a string of names. Here are the masters of "Sky Curtain". On the first page of the guild standings, the number one ranked is Heart of Rose.

In the last game, Wu Zi'an asked him to join Heart of Rose several times, but out of distrust of her, Lin Sheng rejected her invitation.

Lin Sheng pressed the screen to turn to the next page, his eyes suddenly paused, and saw that the person ranked first on the personal scoreboard did not display his name, but only the letter "D".

"D"?

So mysterious, who is "D"?

It seems that this expert pays great attention to the protection of personal privacy, but to be ranked first, this "D" must be very powerful, Lin Sheng pondered in his heart, and wondered whether he would be lucky enough to get to know this mysterious boss in the future.

The third page, the wealth list.

I also know that Zhou Muchen's name will definitely be seen on this list, but Lin Sheng did not expect that Zhou Muchen is not No.1.

There is someone else above his name.

"Qian Ying."

Lin Sheng read the name lightly, and at the same time, he became very curious about the identity of this person. He thought that even Zhou Muchen, who owns the entire commercial street, would come in second. Could it be that Qian Ying simply owned the entire commercial street? "Canopy"?

Turning to the next page, Lin Sheng didn't see anyone he knew on the ring PK standings. He thought about it, clicked on the search bar, and entered his name in it.

[Player: Lin Sheng

Status: Alive

Personal points ranking: 830716]

Ranked more than 83?

It seems that the number of players in "Sky Curtain" is indeed a million level. Lin Sheng rubbed his chin and looked at the player status. He suddenly thought of something. After deleting his name in the search bar, he re-typed three words.

【Ma Yichen】

[Player: Ma Yichen

Status: Alive

Personal points ranking: 857830]

Lin Sheng is overjoyed that Ma Yichen is still alive, that's great!

After leaving the Antarctic scientific research station, what Lin Sheng was most worried about was Ma Yichen, who was left behind. I don’t know how difficult the hell difficulty game will be, but fortunately, Ma Yichen survived. Judging from the points, he should have passed two Closed.

After Ma Yichen, Lin Sheng searched for the names of several other teammates one after another. Only Xu Yangli was dead, and the others were still alive.

After leaving the city hall, Lin Sheng went to check the location of the store in the city center. If nothing else happened, he could open his own restaurant here after returning from the next game!

Passing through the crowd, a dazzling building suddenly appeared in front of him, facing the street, facing the sun, and spacious and grand, this place met all of Lin Sheng's imaginations.

Standing outside the glass door, Lin Sheng was extremely excited. If the store can really be opened here, there will be an endless stream of customers!

A wave of hope rose in his heart, a bright future was slowly unfolding in front of him, now Lin Sheng just wanted to quickly enter the third game, so that when he came back, he could start to decorate the shop.

On the third day, Lin Sheng made preparations before leaving, and obediently recuperated at home, waiting for the notification to enter the dungeon.

Near the afternoon, Lin Sheng suddenly received a message in the system, which was sent by Zhou Muchen.

【Subject: Information about the next dungeon】

intelligence?

Lin Sheng sat up and carefully read the message from Zhou Muchen.

The document is not long, only a few hundred words, but the sentences are concise, and all the words are dry.

Lin Sheng glanced at the alarm clock. There are still two hours before the dungeon starts. He can't help but guess wildly. Maybe Zhou Muchen deliberately picked this time to notify him. God, how does this look like something a child did?Thinking of this, he became more and more curious about Zhou Muchen.

In the intelligence, Zhou Muchen mentioned that after entering the next instance, players will be forced to add attribute debuffs. The specific debuffs are not clear, only that they will change the player's appearance, so he specifically reminded that it is not necessary to wear attributes in terms of appearance. props;

In addition, Zhou Muchen also mentioned that there are a lot of players in the next dungeon, estimated to be more than ten people. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he asked Lin Sheng and the bodyguard to pretend that they don't know each other. The specific situation will wait until after entering the dungeon. Discuss again.
