Lu Yao also wanted to know why he was here. The system, this little liar, said that only she could travel between the two worlds. What was going on with this man
The man was also looking at Lu Yao, his brows furrowed. After a long while, he spoke intermittently: "Have we... met... somewhere?"
"You don't remember?" Lu Yao had a deep impression of him. Yesterday evening when she came back from the market, this man stopped her on the side of the road, took out a large stack of money from his pocket, and asked her in a panic to take him to the nearest bus stop.
To be honest, that ** is quite a big deal for her, especially since she has been spending money like water recently and her small treasury is in urgent need of replenishment. She can easily earn tens of thousands by leading the way, which is like picking up money for free.
Then she noticed that there was something wrong with the man's expression, so she suppressed her desire to get something for nothing and pointed the way without asking for any reward.
The man thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "My mind is a little confused and I can't remember. Can you let me in and sit for a while?"
Lu Yao glanced at a familiar figure behind the man and instantly felt confident. He stepped aside and the man walked straight to a seat by the window and sat down.
Bai Ming walked into the store, frowned at the man, then looked down at Lu Yao: "Who is he?"
Lu Yao shook his head. "When I got up, he was leaning against the door. He seemed a little confused."
Bai Ming looked at the man a few more times, then turned and walked out.
A few minutes later, Baihe and Bailu followed Baiming out of the paradise.
After entering the snack bar, Bai Ming pointed at the man still sitting at the window and said, "It's him. Ask him clearly and take him away quickly. We'll open the store soon."
Lu Yao poured the man a glass of water and went back to the kitchen. Seeing Bai Ming bringing people from the park next door, she came out curiously and asked Bai Ming quietly: "What's wrong with this person?"
Bai Ming shook his head: "He should be a newcomer. After registration, we can let him go."
Newcomer? What registration
Lu Yao was confused and stood silently behind Bai Lu and Bai He.
There was a black-covered notebook in front of Baihe. Bailu began to question the man. Baihe opened the notebook and turned to a new page.
Bai Lu asked: "Do you remember your name?"
The man frowned and thought for a few seconds: "Qi Chen."
When Lu Yao saw the man answer, his name automatically appeared on the notebook.
There was no need to write. The words were not Chinese characters, but the same language as the menu on the table, but Lu Yao could understand them.
"age."
"Twenty-eight."
“Remember your previous job?”
Qi Chen pointed at the huge Ferris wheel outside the window and said, "Remember, I work there. I'm the owner of that amusement park. But I can't find my way back. Can you take me there?"
Lu Yao was shocked. Things were becoming a little tricky.
Is she going to be exposed
Bai Lu and Bai He turned their heads and looked out the window, their expressions were exceptionally calm, and they didn't seem to find anything strange.
Bai Lu's attitude could be described as cold, "You can't go back. Do you remember how you got here?"
Qi Chen shook his head: "I can't remember. I woke up in the morning and sat in front of the store."
Bai Lu: "Well, we have a general understanding of the situation. You have been registered as a resident in Area A. You can live here with peace of mind in the future."
Bai He pulled out a booklet from under the notebook and handed it to Qi Chen. "This is a guide to life. Please read it carefully. If you have any questions, you can ask the waiter in the store or go to the park next door for help. If there is nothing else, we will leave first."
Qi Chen stood up, looking uneasy: "What's wrong with me? Do you want to lock me up here? I said I want to go back. It's just across the river. Just call a car to take me there. I can pay you. How much do you want?"
Bai Lu and Bai He had already walked to the door. When they heard this, they turned around. Bai Lu frowned and said coldly, "Don't yell. Mr. Qi Chen, you have been confirmed to be registered as a resident here. You can't go back."
Qi Chen was very angry. He woke up in a strange place and met some strange people. It was obvious that his workplace was on the other side of the river, but they were unwilling to send him back. Even if they told him the way, he could go back by himself.
Bai Lu and Bai He ignored him and turned away.
At this time, Xingzi came and saw Qi Chen. She asked very experiencedly, "New here?"
Bai Ming glanced at Lu Yao, said nothing, and nodded.
Lu Yao walked around and sat down opposite Qi Chen. He was very curious about the life guide in front of him. It turned out that there was such a thing. "Can I take a look at this life guide?"
Qi Chen frowned, raised his hand and held down the black-covered life guide, and said impatiently: "Give me a glass of iced Americano."
Bai Ming came over and pulled Lu Yao up, even more impatient than Qi Chen, "There's no iced Americano. We're going to open the store. If you have nothing else, you can leave now."
Qi Chen stared at Lu Yao's face for a while, then noticed the color of her clothes, and the chaotic images in his mind gradually pieced together into a complete scene.
His eyes slowly widened, not knowing what he had misunderstood. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's you! I remember, we met yesterday."
Lu Yao broke free from Bai Ming's hand and asked the two of them to prepare to open the store first.
She sat down in front of Qi Chen again, her attitude still gentle: "Yes, we have met. What happened to you later, and why are you here?"
Qi Chen sneered: "Didn't you bring me here? Tell me, who sent you here, and what do you want?"
Lu Yao frowned, completely unable to communicate.
She glanced covetously at the life guide that Qi Chen was holding down, and stood up and said, "It's not me, you came here by yourself. I'm going to open the store, you calm down first."
Lu Yao went to the kitchen, and Qi Chen stood up and tried to escape by jumping out of the window.
The window was clearly open, but there seemed to be an invisible, hard barrier at the window edge. No matter how hard he pushed or bumped, he couldn't get out.
Qi Chen was so angry that he walked out of the store, but found that the scenery outside was unfamiliar and weird everywhere, which was not a place he was familiar with at all.
He took the elevator downstairs and found that the scene downstairs was also completely unfamiliar.
Two hours later, Qi Chen returned to the snack bar in disappointment.
The store was at its peak time and the three people in the store were busy, so no one noticed him.
Qi Chen leaned against the door of the snack bar, looking annoyed. He had a lot of things he wanted to ask Lu Yao.
Customers outside the door have lined up all the way to the elevator. Why is this store doing so good
Aren't there any other restaurants to eat at? Why are all of you crowding here
In the team next to him, the boy said excitedly: "Brother, it will be our turn soon. After the live broadcast last night, more people came to the snack bar."
"Yeah." Du Chen simply replied with one word. It took a long time to queue, but he hadn't done this for thousands of years, so he found it a bit fresh.
And he knew that after a long wait, he could eat real food, not fake stuff.
This reward can make him more patient than anything else.
Qi Chen was sensitive enough to notice something strange, and he looked up at the two people at the front of the line. When his eyes fell on Du Chen, his pupils shrank in fear, and his voice trembled: "How... are you... here?"
Du Chen looked up and saw Qi Chen. A hint of understanding flashed across his eyes. "New here?"
Du Chen didn't recognize Qi Chen, but he could see something from his eyes.
Occasionally, a failed challenger would come to this world and, by chance, meet an NPC who had once raped him.
Most NPCs will use mimicry when entering the game, usually in a very scary and embarrassing posture.
When Du Chen showed the initial symptoms of amnesia, he became irritable and for a period of time he deliberately gave up his mimicry when entering the game and used his real form directly.
This person may have seen what he looked like, and judging by his reaction, he was extremely impressed.
Qi Chen took three steps back, his expression filled with extreme fear, his legs as weak as noodles.
Du Chen helped him up and said, "Don't be afraid, you are already the same as us."
Same? What does that mean
This sentence was like a death sentence. Qi Chen took a few seconds to react and his face turned pale. He knew why he was here.
At this time, Duan had already walked into the store and turned back to urge, "Brother, order food."
Du Chen let go of his hand, turned around and walked into the snack bar, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
The owner of the snack bar interested him more than the failed challenger.
Lu Yao was busy in the kitchen. Maybe she was too sensitive, but she felt a pair of eyes fixed on her. She raised her head and saw that all the diners in the room were concentrating on their meals. No one seemed to be looking at her.
About two hours later, all the ingredients in the store were sold out and we had to close the store early again.
The diners who waited in line for a long time but failed to buy food could not help but complain: "Owner, can't you prepare more food? If you hire two more people, I will go crazy if I can't eat your food forever."
Lu Yao nodded good-naturedly and said, "We are hiring recently. When we find the right person, I will expand the store accordingly. I am really sorry for today. I have prepared some fruits. Guests who are unable to eat can go to Sister Xingzi to get one for free."
The customer just said it casually, but he didn't expect the owner to take it seriously and even prepare some fruits for him. He immediately felt embarrassed.
But the shop owner’s fruits were also very sweet, different from the ones they made themselves. So they didn’t hesitate to go to Xingzi and get some small fruits, then left happily.
Du Chen sat by the window in the corner, looking at Lu Yao.
This woman is very interesting, and she might be even more interesting when she scares you.
The next second, Bai Ming blocked Lu Yao and tilted his head to give Du Chen a "warning" look.
Du Chen smiled and shrugged helplessly. It turned out that he had been targeted for a long time.
After the customers left the store, Qi Chen was finally able to come in. When he saw Du Chen sitting in the corner, his scalp tightened and he turned his head away, pretending not to see him.
He found Lu Yao who was still in the kitchen, and said with a complicated expression, "Come here for a moment."
Lu Yao raised his finger and pointed at himself, "Me?"
Qi Chen: “Yeah.”
Lu Yao came out, Qi Chen grabbed her hand, and let go after a moment, surprised and confused: "It's hot, why is it like this? You - ah -"
Qi Chen covered the back of his head and slowly squatted to the ground.
This must be painful.
Du Chen came over at some point and suddenly hit Qi Chen. He easily picked up Qi Chen, who was crying and holding his head, and said to Lu Yao with a smile: "This new guy is ignorant. I will take him to the park to learn."
The word "Paradise" seemed to be a terrifying switch. Qi Chen froze for a moment, and suddenly began to struggle, "I'm not going to 'Paradise', I don't want to go to 'Paradise'! Put me down, I can read the life guide by myself, I don't need to go to Paradise."
Du Chen let go of his hand and said "huh" in boredom.
“Boom boom boom—”
There was a sudden knock on the door, but the door was clearly open and no one else responded.
Lu Yao realized that someone must be knocking on the door in her world.
There were two men standing outside the door, one of them in uniform.
No one answered the door when they knocked. They waited outside the snack bar for twenty minutes, but still no one came, so they had no choice but to leave.
Half an hour later, all the customers in the store left and Xingzi also left work.
Qi Chen stayed in the store and didn't want to leave, so Bai Ming took the initiative to stay.
Lu Yao did not return to her residence last night. She wanted to leave, but she was worried about Qi Chen and Bai Ming being alone.
Seeing that Bai Ming refused to leave no matter what, Qi Chen could only look at Lu Yao eagerly, "I want to drink coffee, can you think of a way?"
Perhaps because he was frightened too many times that day, Qi Chen became much more honest and spoke more politely.
Lu Yao wanted to say "no", but when he saw the life guide in his hand, he thought: "We can find a way to exchange it for the life guide."
Qi Chen nodded, "Okay."
Lu Yao went out and ran to the mall to buy the coffee that Qi Chen had requested.
When I came back, there were two strange men standing at the door of the snack bar.
Lu Yao stopped and looked alert.
The more handsome man of the two glanced at the coffee in Lu Yao's hand and took the initiative to step forward, "Hello, are you Miss Lu Yao?"
Lu Yao: “Who are you?”
The man took out his business card and handed it over. "My name is Zhuang Liang, and I run a museum in the city. I'm sorry to come here because I have something I want to know from Miss Lu."
"What's up?"
"Before we get down to business, let me ask you, Ms. Lu, do you know the game Paradise?"
