In the white round mirror that Xu Yuan saw at first, there was a two-star ghost weapon named "Real Fragment" hidden. As if judging from the length of the remarks, Su Zimo could say that this The strength of a two-star ghost can almost be compared to a three-star ghost.
In fact, the number of times of sweeping ghosts is more, Su Zimo can barely feel the gap between two-star ghosts and three-star ghosts.
For example, the two-star ghost weapons "Holy Water" and "Sleeping Pills" are just ordinary props. They may have been made by humans or ghosts, and they are still "dead" objects after all.
And the remarks appearing on the "Red Gloves", "Evil Infant Jade Card", Viper's "Ghost Shroud" and even the "Dead Man's Music Score" in the store all describe a complete ghost story, and most of them will remind you The holder should be careful of the backlash of the ghosts in the ghost weapon.
With the example of Peng Peng, Su Zimo can be sure that there is a Specter hidden in the three-star ghost weapon! And these three-star ghost weapons are like having "durability value". After reaching a limit, Specter is very likely to have backlash.
Based on this, it is inferred that there may also be a Specter hidden in the "Real Fragment" of the two-star ghost device that tells the story of the dead weatherman, but there is no information that this Specter will fight back in the remarks. Being classified as a "two-star", Su Zimo thought about it, and the only explanation was that the ghosts in the two-star ghosts were not as powerful as the three-star ones.
As a ghost device, the "real fragments" can allow the holder to see another self in the mirror and communicate with each other. The content and direction of the communication are unknown, but the remarks specifically indicate that in the dead of night, the "person" in the mirror may appear beside the holder.
Su Zimo looked at Xu Yuan, who had a harmless face. The student who was working next door seemed to be a little uncomfortable because of the four cups of fruit tea. His round face was a little red with joy, and his face was not at all. The pain to hide.
But maybe it was because Su Zimo recommended "Holy Water" to him. He had been standing there holding his breath and said with an ugly smile, "If you have Holy Water, you shouldn't need it even more, right?"
"Are you sure?" Su Zimo held the small bottle of holy water in the palm of his hand and stretched it out in front of Xu Yuan, "As an honest businessman, I must admit that this is the diluted product of the real holy water. In this way, the price of this small bottle of holy water will not be so cheap. Although compared with real holy water, it cannot completely wipe out the ghosts you encounter, but it can effectively expel them within a certain period of time. Do you really want it? "
Su Zimo stretched out the ending sound and looked at the guest who was finally caught in front of him with a smile on his face.
In fact, if Su Zimo really used this method to promote a bottle of ordinary perfume, maybe Xu Yuan would have already paid for the unused perfume and bought it home.
But, Xu Yuan, who was standing in front of Su Zimo, felt a little chill behind him. The shop owner in front of him was saying "special ghosts", as if he knew where he had been, what he had encountered, and who he was. Experienced practitioners even know the existence of the nightmare world!
But even so, the props from the nightmare world only sell for two hundred yuan? Is it really not a conspiracy? !
Xu Yuan looked at the beautiful perfume bottle in front of him, because all kinds of entanglements in his heart were mixed together, so he wanted to go but didn't want to go, so he could only stand there stupidly.
In Xu Yuan's impression, every item from the Nightmare World was obtained by those powerful seniors who sacrificed half their lives. To bring these items out of the Nightmare World, it would cost them a lot of Nightmare Points. , which is almost equal to the half-life of the practitioners. Unless someone is willing to spend tens of millions to buy it, it is impossible for these nightmare world props to leak out, and it is even less likely that they will appear in an ordinary shop at a price of 200 to 200 yuan.
wrong!
Xu Yuan suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head... Is this store really ordinary
This is a shop that suddenly emerged from the cracks of different spaces, and there is a clerk who can invite customers to drink four cups of fruit tea for free. How can you think it is impossible
"Don't you like it?" Seeing Xu Yuan being so silent, Su Zimo thought that maybe he should introduce this product more carefully instead of sticking to the remarks itself, so he continued with a polite smile, "Actually, I think this product The best thing about the product itself is its design.”
"Design?" Xu Yuan stared blankly at the very, very ordinary perfume bottle in front of him.
"Guests should have seen some ordinary western horror films before, right? If there is a scene of sprinkling holy water in horror films, those exorcists will directly pour out the holy water with the bottle. This is actually a very wasteful thing, because Holy water is much more precious than those horror directors imagine."
Su Zimo put the holy water back on the shelf, and then continued: "But this product in our store uses a spray-type perfume... ahem, a glass bottle, so when you use it, you only need to press the nozzle lightly, and you're good to go. It will spray a fine mist formed by holy water, and this design can well prevent the user from wasting holy water and use every drop on the knife edge."
"I really don't know why you recommend this kind of thing to me, sorry." Xu Yuan expressed his rejection almost word by word.
Saying that, Xu Yuan, the temporary clerk of "A Cup of Tea Bookstore", a second-year college student, a nightmare world experiencer, gritted his teeth, but cruelly ignored Su Zimo, who was smiling in the corners of his eyes, and turned to leave "An Yu. corner".
"Are you sure?"
Just as Xu Yuan walked to the door of the store, Su Zimo's voice came from behind him again, very calm and no longer smiling. Looking through the reflection of the glass shop door, he saw Su Zimo standing behind him with a restrained expression, although the corners of his mouth still evoked a slight arc, but the feeling of being like a spring breeze was completely gone.
"When is your next trip? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Or seven days from now?" Su Zimo's tone was no longer so friendly this time, but it was like the tone he used when trying to confuse the poisonous snake before.
"Only two hundred yuan, you can give yourself a chance to get useful props." Su Zimo chuckled, "Why don't you think about it, if this prop is real, will you be able to get it on your next trip? Safer?"
"The odds of survival, and the insignificant two hundred yuan, do you still need to consider how to choose?" Su Zimo glanced at the other party's clenched fist, "Even if this shop is a little strange, the price you need to pay is only two Only a hundred dollars."
"You're right." Xu Yuan came back to his senses with a bitter round face, like a little girl being coerced, and said with a flat mouth, "I'll buy it!"
As he said that, Xu Yuan took out two folded hundred-yuan bills from his trouser pocket with trembling, and handed them to Su Zimo with great reluctance, and said pitifully, "If it doesn't work, then , can I return it?"
"boss."
Just when Su Zimo was about to take over the proceeds of the first "big business", the ghost umbrella standing aside suddenly called out. Su Zimo turned around and followed Ghost Umbrella's outstretched fingers, and found that there was an off-white paper next to the pot of big green dill on the counter of the shop.
After Su Zimo hooked his fingers and signaled Ghost Umbrella to bring the paper, he found that the off-white paper was very thick and only had two short lines written on it.
[Commodities are sold, the store will no longer be responsible for subsequent affairs. ]
[Welcome to see you again. ]
At the bottom right of the two lines of words is a square seal engraved with the words "Safe in one corner". The color of the seal is a strange golden color. Under the light of the shop lights, there is a streamer. There is also a signature place below the seal. Looks like it needs a guest signature.
Before this, Su Zimo had never seen anything like it.
This "document", which feels contrary to the relevant regulations of the commodity, looks like a simple sale contract, and may only appear when the star ghost weapon is sold.
"What... what's wrong..." Judging from Xu Yuan's blushing round face, he should really be a little anxious.
"Before the transaction is established, I hope that the guest may need to sign this contract." Su Zimo stretched out the off-white cardboard in front of Xu Yuan, and put on a welcoming smile on his face, "I hope the guest will not mind. ."
Su Zimo watched Xu Yuan take the cardboard from him, glanced at it hastily, and said, "The owner of the shop where I work part-time said that such a rule is invalid, even if I sign it..."
"Trouble." Su Zimo still showed that irresistible smile.
"But I... I didn't bring a pen." Xu Yuan's round face was flushed, and he was obviously unable to hold back. The power of the four cups of fruit tea was quickly swallowing his reason.
Pen
After thinking for a while, Su Zimo took Xu Yuan back to the counter, and then took out the metal signature pen that can be turned into a stick from behind the counter!
From the very beginning, Su Zimo guessed that everything in the store should be useful, and the excellent fighting ability possessed by the metal pen later proved Su Zimo's guess.
But when this unfamiliar off-white contract paper appeared, Su Zimo suddenly realized that the stick was made into a pen, probably because the pen he found next to the computer keyboard had a bigger function. , that is, let the guest use it to sign the contract!
Quirky paper and quirky pens that seem to have been arranged from the start.
"Trouble." Su Zimo put the metal pen next to the off-white contract paper, and reached out to invite Xu Yuan to come forward.
Perhaps it was because his body could no longer bear the desire to be ashamed. Xu Yuan signed his name on the contract paper as quickly as possible, put down two hundred-yuan bills, and put holy water in his pocket and flew away. Ben left the store.
"Welcome to come next time." Su Zimo looked at the figure fleeing from the door, smiled and bent down slightly, letting the silver chain of the glasses draw a silver arc under the light.
"This is really a very strange shop. The longer you stay, the more you feel." Ghost Umbrella said, and handed an empty glass to Su Zimo, then turned back to the counter to get a pot New fruit tea.
Su Zimo held the very sturdy-looking glass in one hand, and reached for the off-white contract paper with the other.
But at the moment when Su Zimo's fingertips touched the contract, the contract seemed to be burned by an invisible flame. He took the two hundred dollars left by Xu Yuan and took it from his finger. The place where the tip touched began to scorch and rolled up, and in an instant, only a little ash was blown into the air by the non-existent wind and disappeared.
Not even a single bit of ash was left on the white wooden counter, along with two hundred dollars... gone.
The next second, Su Zimo's other hand exerted a little force in surprise, and then with a "bang", the thick glass was crushed by Su Zimo's fingers...
"Boss, have you ever crushed anything like this before?" Ghost umbrella and Su Zimo stared at the glass shards that fell on the ground in a daze.
"What do you think?" Su Zimo turned around and looked down at his hands for a while. Although his fingers were slender, they were thin and barely fleshy. No matter how he looked, it didn't look like he could crush that kind of cup directly. look.
"Maybe it has something to do with that contract, right?" Su Zimo didn't have any measuring method, so he tightly held his left arm with his right hand, and after measuring himself gradually, he said with certainty, "The strength seems to be stronger than before. It's a little stronger, but it's not too exaggerated. The glass that was crushed just now may have something to do with the sudden change in the strength of the hand."
"The boss looks surprisingly calm." Ghost Umbrella changed the cup and poured another cup of fruit tea.
When Ghost Umbrella approached Su Zimo, he suddenly found that the shopkeeper had a fresh and pleasant smell on his body, which was something that Su Zimo had never seen before. Before that, the scent that Ghost Umbrella smelled most from Su Zimo was the soap fragrance after bathing, but at this moment, although the smell on Su Zimo's body was vague, but after smelling it, it seemed to be fresher than the soap fragrance. Pleasant and very comfortable.
This kind of fragrance is very familiar to the ghost umbrella, and even to the many ghosts who have not yet been killed, and even once let the ghosts escape as soon as they smell the fragrance.
But the person who owned the scent before has been gone for a long time.
Looking at the fruit tea that was just filled in front of him, Su Zimo moved his knuckles this time, and quickly grabbed the glass firmly, took a sip before saying, "Anyone who has experienced so many things, You will feel nothing, right? After all, there is nothing in this world that is more terrifying than being unable to control your own body and death."
For the current Su Zimo, it is definitely not a bad thing to have a way to increase his strength.
"Don't touch the glass shards on the ground, I'll get someone to come over with a broom." Su Zimo told Ghost Umbrella, and then opened the back door of "An Yu Yi Ying", "By the way, I'll find you a useful communication tool. Equipment, if there is a guest who can buy ghost equipment, you can notify me in time."
"As ordered, the shopkeeper." Ghost umbrella watched Su Zimo disappear from the back door. When he turned back to the back of the counter, out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed that there was a slight change in the flowerbed at the door.
There was originally a green lily bud in the flowerbed on the left, but I don't know when the bud actually opened most of the time. Although this plant called Shouhua does look like a lily, but after the flowers have bloomed for the most part, Ghost Umbrella found that the white petals of Shouhua are much larger than those of the lily. It gives people a sense of layering with double petals, and it is more like a flamingo standing in a group of rabbits in the whole flowerbed, which is particularly eye-catching.
Ghost Umbrella approached the flowerbed curiously, and found that there was a scent that was exactly the same as Su Zimo's body, which was the familiar scent! This seems to indicate that the fragrance that suddenly appeared on Su Zimo's body is related to this longevity flower that suddenly bloomed for the most part.
The smell that once frightened ghosts was probably the smell of longevity flowers.
Weird contracts, weird scents, weird birthday flowers...
Are all these changes due to the sale of the first ghost weapon by "Satisfied in a Corner"
"Why didn't you find out that this is such a strange place before?" Ghost umbrella whispered to himself, "But he is her son, so it's not surprising that he has the same floral scent."
Su Zimo left "An Yu Yiyi" and returned to the study on the second floor of Su's house. When he left the study, the maid Ye Ning walked up and said that the housekeeper Mu recommended by Su Hewen had arrived ahead of schedule.
Thinking of the madman who fought side by side, Su Zimo nodded and walked to the reception area in the lobby on the first floor.
There are sofas in the reception area and lounge area of the hall, but the sofa in the lounge area is more comfortable and soft, and a complete set of home theater is also equipped, which is very suitable for the family to sit together and chat and exchange emotions.
The Butler Mu, who came to apply for the job, was sitting in the reception area on the other side with his back straight. He seemed to be preparing for the interview of the Su family, but because he was facing Su Zimo who was going down the stairs, so Did not discover that the prospective employer was a "new person" who had been through a nightmare world together.
"Are you Mu Feng?"
Before Su Zimo went downstairs, he saw his father Su Gan walking towards the reception area, then patted Butler Mu enthusiastically on the shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Are you married?"
"..." Mu Feng, who was sitting there, did not expect to be asked such a sensitive question the first time he saw his employer. At that time, his mind revolved around the phrase "The Huns are not destroyed, why are they home?" He suppressed his words after saying this, and respectfully got up from the sofa and saluted, "Patriarch Su."
Mu Feng felt that this person in front of him should be the head of the Su family. Although the style of the shirt is a bit fancy, it looks like a custom-made expensive formal dress, and the perfectly groomed mustache, the ponytail and the red wine glass in his hand... It's similar to the "nobles" who put on a pose in Mu Feng's memory.
It's just that the head of the house looks much younger than Mu Feng imagined. He had driven himself into a lunatic because of the 20th Nightmare World. He was so isolated from the world that he almost lost the only old man's mobile phone. There is no way to check the information of the Su family's head, and this kind of thing is not necessarily something that can be found on the open network.
In Mu Feng's imagination, the head of the Su family may be a very serious old man, about the same age as the old man Fang Qin he met in the nightmare world before, but he is more unsmiling. The one who can fulfill his requirements perfectly is the perfect steward.
So in order to deal with such an old man, Mu Feng shaved his beard and cut his hair short before leaving, and even manually kneaded his face that had been decadent for several months and lifted it for a long time. . At this moment, Mu Feng didn't dare to relax at all, and always felt that as long as he relaxed, the corners of his eyes would continue to droop.
But looking at the "Patriarch Su" who was holding red wine early in the morning, and his cheeks were already drunk, Mu Feng suddenly felt that the other party was more relaxed than him. But an employer is an employer, and what an employer does is right.
It may be difficult for some people to understand the idea of Mu Feng's life and death, but he just doesn't want to continue to spend the next two months in decadence, he just wants to find hope.
Mu Feng has no parents and no crush. He used to like money a little bit, so he wanted to enter the so-called high society in various ways, but because there were no crooked ways, he finally made a mistake and became a salaryman. The salary is quite generous. housekeeper. But just after the job had stabilized, Mu Feng originally thought he would become the old housekeeper like those British gentlemen, with white hair accompanying the host's family for several generations, and finally holding the host's lovely little lady on the swing in the garden, but the nightmare world turned out to be. Ruined everything.
In the beginning, when Mu Feng got powerful props and rampaged in the nightmare world, he was still in a good mood and felt that his luck in any world was very good. Until he knew about the twentieth nightmare world, he was completely broken.
He once met more powerful seniors than him in the nightmare world, and even had their contact information. He once exchanged information offline, but all those more powerful seniors were gone and never returned. It's gone...
He began to panic, even went mad, resigned from his stable job, and curled up like a mouse in a dark rental dwelling. Even in the nightmare world, he became a mouse that kept on living.
But after meeting the calm hero Liu Xu and the kid who tried his best to survive, the madman suddenly didn't want to be so decadent anymore, he wanted to give it a try, whether it was the 20th Nightmare World, find him New job, or imagining the future in two months, he wants to give it a try.
The two-month unpaid probationary period is to reduce the loss of the new employer, and the high salary after two months is Mufeng's new goal and new hope.
Looking at "Patriarch Su" who poured himself another cup in front of him, Mu Feng suddenly felt a little excited.
"Patriarch Su, I will try my best to complete all the work that satisfies you, and hope to give me a chance during the probationary period." Mu Feng knew that the Su family was bigger and more complicated than the place he used to work, but nothing beats the second Ten Nightmare World is more challenging.
"Hiccup." Su Gan hiccupped, then looked at Mu Feng with some drunken eyes, "You made a mistake, I'm not Patriarch Su, I'm Patriarch Su's father, Patriarch Su is behind you."
"Huh?" Mu Feng was stunned, and turned around subconsciously.
Then, he saw a familiar figure standing behind him, with a small smile on his lips, but standing there with his gestures and gestures was a little different from when he was in the nightmare world, Su Zimo was looking at him like this.
In the main residence of the Su family, the figure didn't want to be so casual in the nightmare world, and there was a feeling of being unapproachable, staring, and offensive. This reminded Mu Feng of the scene where Su Zimo put a trap on the poisonous snake, and the scene where Su Zimo exposed his arm and asked the poisonous snake if he wanted to stab it, but turned around and beat the poisonous snake until it couldn't take care of itself.
At that time, Su Zimo's aura was even more astonishing than it is now, and the bystanders almost didn't dare to move.
Maybe it was because he was too shocked, Mu Feng took a deep breath, and a fresh scent like soap and flowers was inhaled between his nostrils. Mu Feng didn't know if this was the incense in the Su family hall, but it seemed to be a scent that could calm down.
"Meet again." Su Zimo stretched out his hand to the new housekeeper in front of him, "Please give me more advice in the future."
Su Zimo's words can be regarded as recognition of the identity of Butler Mu. After all, although the madman has been decadent, his impression of Mr. madman is not bad, and since Su Hewen was able to invite him in person, it shows that Mu Feng's professional ability itself should be very good. That's right.
"It's the next two months, please give me more advice." Mu Feng knew that changing housekeepers frequently would be a hassle. After meeting Su Zimo, who was also a trainee, he felt even more like he was being scammed before it even started. The exposed scammer, but the victim still agrees to give him a two-month job offer.
"I believe our cooperation will last longer." Su Zimo smiled sincerely. For Su Zimo, he could sweep through dozens of nightmare worlds in two months. Maybe at that time, he will find a way to pass the second Ten Nightmare World Methods.
He watched Butler Mu in front of him formally bowing and salute, and suddenly he had a feeling of "my urchin is just growing up" and "a prodigal son can't change his life", but from the actual situation, Mu, who had been with classmate Su Hewen who had skipped grades quickly The housekeeper is at least seven or eight years older than Su Zimo.
"Ye Ning." Su Zimo called to the maid, who had already made a good order, "Let Butler Mu get acquainted with the situation, and by the way have Butler Mu's salute to his room."
"Yes." When Miss Ye Ning looked at Mu Feng, there was a hint of hostility in her eyes. It was a look that was hostile but not malicious. After all, the seat of "housekeeper" was what Ye Ning really wanted.
After watching Mu Feng and Ye Ning walk away, Su Zimo walked over and took away the empty wine glass and bottle in Su Gan's hand. Su Gan had already finished drinking a bottle before noon. Drunk lying on the sofa and falling asleep, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, not knowing which confidante he dreamed of again.
Su Zimo remembered that he was also like this during his mother's funeral. He couldn't wake up no matter how much he called. He just fell asleep on the sofa and giggled, making people angry no matter what he looked at.
Putting the empty wine bottle and wine glass aside, Su Zimo turned around and went back to the study. He just asked Ye Ning to prepare some things, which should be ready.
The harvest of selling goods was beyond Su Zimo's surprise, but Su Zimo also had to admit that the business of "being in a corner" was really bad. On the contrary, the experimental fruit tea and scented tea provided by Ghost Umbrella for free are very popular, even attracting regular customers of the "Tea Garden" next door.
Fortunately, Su Zimo prepared a set of porcelain cups with a smaller capacity, and customers who love "petty bourgeoisie" will not take the initiative to go to the ghost umbrella behind the counter to refill the cup, so the loss on the book of "being in a corner" is difficult to cause young people. Patriarch Su's attention was not even more important than the half-blooming birthday flower in the store.
Because the Su family's dinner party was arranged on the next Saturday, Su Zimo only stayed in "A Corner" for two days, and at night he simply let the ghost umbrella return to his body to rest, after all There are not many guests who are experienced practitioners, and they can only follow the circumstances.
In two days, relying on the free fruit tea of Ghost Umbrella, "An Yu Yi Yi" sold out all the nightmare card rolls, lollipops, candy boxes and an ordinary teddy bear in the store. Relying on scattered products to get a net profit of 20 yuan.
congratulations.
Su Zimo never thought that Mr. Ghost Umbrella really became the mainstay of "being in a corner". The sale of these products also made Su Zimo realize that he can't ignore the unstarred products because of the importance of star-level ghosts. "Being in a corner" is just an empty store.
What's even more gratifying is that Su Zimo's information has also become-
[Shop owner: Su Zimo]
[Lifetime deposit: 573 days (220)]
[Store upgrade progress: 220/1000]
congratulations.
At the same time as receiving these good news, Su Zimo also left "in a corner", put on the formal clothes prepared by the maid, Ye Ning, and walked up the curved stairs step by step when the lights in the main house of the Su family were lit at night. Next, go to the Su family dinner once a week.
The banquet was arranged in the dining area of the main residence of the Su family. The hall on the first floor of the Su family was much larger than the hall of the villa in Nightmare World, so it had been reasonably divided into various areas.
When Su Zimo was still standing at the railing on the second floor, he saw that the second uncle Su Duan and the third uncle Su Kun, who had not seen each other for a long time, were already sitting on the sofa in the reception area on the other side, whispering to each other from time to time, As if discussing something.
Father Su Gan and fourth uncle Su Ni were playing with Su Mianmian on the sofa in the lounge area. The fourth aunt who was sitting next to him was constantly typing on the keyboard of the laptop on his lap, obviously a busy person like Su Hewen.
Su Zimo didn't see Su Hewen on the first floor, but it wasn't a strange thing, because Su Hewen's rule was not to get involved in any of the Su family's private affairs, and appearing at the Su family's dinner party was something that was truly worthy of surprise.
The maid and the cook had already prepared the dinner and were standing by, watching the new Butler Mu adjust the position and mix of the food.
After noticing that Su Zimo came down from the second floor, everyone in the hall on the first floor focused their eyes, and some even wished to burn a hole in Su Zimo's body.
"Our Patriarch Su really came out after a long call." Third Uncle Su Kun was still leaning on the sofa, and when Su Zimo came over, he sneered.
Su Zimo wanted to say something, but suddenly noticed that Su Kun was wearing a ring on his finger.
I noticed this ring because in Su Zimo's memory, his third uncle, who pursues quality, always likes expensive jewelry, but he wears a gold ring on his finger that everyone can see. The ring has begun to fade and is clearly not genuine.
After taking a look, Su Zimo actually saw a string of remarks on the ring of the third uncle Sukun!
His third uncle... How could he have something in the nightmare world? !
