Chapter 271: Alliance with Chenxi
At dawn.
A ray of golden light passed through the layers of clouds, through the glass windows of Chengxin Restaurant, and spread all over the shop.
In the early morning, Wang Jing leaned on the sofa and took a nap.
After working all night, he felt a little tired. He took advantage of this period of time when there were not many customers to rest in a hurry. He might have to receive some players during the day.
Generally speaking, the natives will be active at night, while the players will be active during the day.
Therefore, restaurants have a source of customer traffic almost 24 hours a day.
But because of the orders from the Slime Family and Mizi's dance of summoning, most of the current customers of Chengxin Restaurant are the natives attracted by the characteristics.
Players are more conservative about entering other restaurants.
During the period from morning to noon, most players will choose to sleep...
After all, most players still retain the habit of sleeping late, so the customer flow at this time is the least.
Chen Ye had an idea and set up a comfortable lounge on the second floor.
There were comfortable sofas and cubicles with simple beds. There was a dark brown cabinet next to it. Between the squares, there were some water, food, and exquisite objects as decorations. The decoration style was relatively warm.
Shen Meng's eyes suddenly showed stars. She suddenly felt that working and living in this restaurant was much more comfortable than fighting with a group of thugs on Mingke Street.
She suddenly felt grateful in her heart that she had signed this [Devil's Contract], and it could even be called her own opportunity.
Under Chen Ye's instructions, Wang Jing moved from the sofa on the first floor of the restaurant to the public rest area on the second floor to get a better sleep.
Originally, the second floor of Chengxin Restaurant had only a small compartment, but because of the characteristics of [parasitic deed] last time, it swallowed up the surrounding shops, the real estate area was expanded, and the space on the second floor became more spacious.
Using the characteristics of [parasitic deed], the second floor can be fully utilized and turned into an area for internal members of the restaurant.
For one's own people, of course, all conditions must be pulled to the maximum.
"The boss is so nice, he deserves to be the number one on the list!"
"I will stay here in the future and make this restaurant the largest restaurant in the entire Weird Era!"
"Become the legendary God of Food!"
Wang Jing said silently in his heart.
Just when he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, a crisp bell suddenly rang.
"Ding!"
Eh? Are there any guests coming at this time...Wang Jing suddenly opened his eyes, yawned, patted his cheeks, woke up from his deep sleepiness, and prepared to go downstairs to prepare food for the new guests.
But when he went downstairs, he found that the guest who appeared at the door was the girl who entrusted Chen Ye to help deal with the puppet ghost story yesterday.
Beside him, Chenxi, wearing a pure white gauze dress and holding a gilded lace parasol, appeared at the door elegantly and stood on the left side of the girl.
"Last night, I went with the employees of the store and helped you solve the store problem. In the short term, there should be no more puppets to bother you. Of course, correspondingly, the store has become my personal asset for some reasons. You should not mind this, right?" Chen Ye said.
"Of course I don't mind... I just paid one month's rent, and this incident happened, so I wanted to cancel the lease..."
The owner of the "Insomnia Rescue Center" waved his hand quickly.
Anyway, the property is not hers, she is just a temporary tenant living here.
After saying this, she suddenly looked strange.
Wait...
This restaurant owner not only solved his own problem, but also turned the property into a personal asset?
Doesn't that store belong to the second boss on the list - Hua Shao?
How did the property suddenly become the other party's?
The girl suddenly felt that this restaurant owner might be more capable than she thought.
To be honest, when she encountered the problem of puppet ghost stories, she didn't believe that Chen Ye could really help her solve it.
After all, the other person looked very young, and when she first arrived at Chen Ye's shop, she found that it was actually a restaurant, and immediately thought of the other person's profession, probably [Chef].
Generally speaking... Chefs just make money quickly, have strong development ability, and have a better living space.
But if you want to solve the strange incident, it should be handled by professionals in the [Scorching Sun] sequence, right?
However, the final result was that not only was it solved perfectly, but the other person even knew the saint of the Scorching Sun Church, who helped her go to the church to seek shelter and successfully survived this crisis...
This made her view of Chen Ye almost subverted by 360 degrees.
"Well, if nothing happens, you can leave the Scorching Sun Church and find the next safe place to live." Chen Ye smiled.
For most players in the Weird Era, not everyone is so lucky that they can bring their own real estate and shelter when they first come.
Living space needs to be fought for by yourself.
Moreover, it is not that you can continue to be stable if you have won a certain living space.
You may encounter the impact of strange events around you at any time, and fall into danger.
To live in this world, you must not be satisfied with the tranquility on the surface. Behind the scenes, there may be secret torrents surging in every corner, which may drown you at any time.
The girl nodded with deep understanding, bowed 180 degrees to express her inner gratitude, and then left from the entrance of the Honesty Restaurant.
After the other party left, Chen Xi's eyes shifted to Chen Ye. He glanced at Wang Jing and Shen Meng beside him, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Those things you said to Miss Puppet yesterday... I want to discuss them with you in detail..."
Wang Jing and Shen Meng looked at each other and knew that this matter might not be something they could know. They wisely walked to the stairs and planned to go to the common room on the second floor to rest and avoid suspicion.
But at this moment, Chen Ye smiled softly, stopped the two of them, and said:
"It doesn't matter. They are all trustworthy. If you need anything, you can ask directly."
Although it may be inappropriate for Wang Jing and Shen Meng to know these things so early... But considering that three of the Pentacles in the "past" were extracted from the dragon girl, therefore, Chen Ye can probably guess that he still has to rely on a certain degree of help from human resources to cope with the impact he may face in the future.
After all, any profession has certain limitations.
Strategies for Strange Era often require a sufficient team size to deal with the more dangerous large dungeons.
It is difficult for the power of an individual to compete with the characteristics of a group.
Therefore, Chen Ye plans to train the employees in the store a little bit.
Shen Meng signed a [Devil Contract] with him, and Wang Jing has a more honest personality. Both of them are trustworthy. Since Chen Ye plans to develop them into a team, he must allow them to access the level he has reached. , be exposed to certain secret information and expand your knowledge, so that you can become a team member who can truly help you.
Chen Xi nodded. She knew that Chen Ye's current exploration progress was deeper than imagined. Now that she wanted something from the other party, of course she couldn't demand too much, but she had to cater to his rhythm.
In her mind, she recalled all the details mentioned by Miss Puppet, organized some words, and said:
"If everything von Lucius did was related to the destruction of the entire City of Destiny, then whether it involves the authority of [Black Sun] or [Spirit World], it has a deep relationship with you and me."
"He can be said to be the enemy we need to pay most attention to at this stage. He is probably the BOSS-level target of the staged plot..."
"As a saint of the Burning Sun Church, I cannot tolerate the traitors of the church, and it also involves my own survival and safety."
"I think we need to join forces, as well as other players who may cooperate, to deal with enemies of this level."
Very smart... Chen Ye nodded secretly, feeling satisfied with Chen Xi's ability to assume the position of saint and the player's thinking he possessed.
The meaning of this passage has almost clearly defined the alliance and clarified the relationship of interests.
Feng Lucius, as a traitor to the Burning Sun Church, is still standing in the same [spiritual world] sequence that Chen Ye belongs to, and will pose a threat to both of them at the same time.
After all... professions in the same sequence will not cooperate with each other.
Any sequence acquires a uniqueness as it rises to a position of contact with divine authority.
This means that occupations in the same sequence will be competitive in the later stages, and even more intense than those outside the sequence.
Moreover, Lucius's goal will also threaten the survival and safety of all players.
Chen Ye and Chen Xi can be said to have the same interests, and in this case, they can form an alliance.
"I have made some good progress recently." Chen Ye said with a slight smile.
Chen Xi's eyes moved and she immediately understood the meaning of Chen Ye's words.
Since he is willing to take the initiative to disclose information, it already shows that Chen Ye is willing to accept an alliance with him!
This thing is actually quite normal.
In the past few times, Chen Ye and Chen Xi have cooperated. The other party is a saint of the Lieyang Church. She can control the considerable combat power of the aboriginal army, has strong resource capabilities, and has consistent lines of interest. They have become allies. , couldn’t be more suitable.
Chen Xi immediately asked: "How is the specific progress..."
Chen Ye pondered for a moment and organized some words.
Later, some of the memories, as well as relevant information and intelligence of the thug members who were detected tonight - Centaur were revealed.
Of course... Chen Ye naturally did not choose to expose how he obtained the information and the details. He just selected the key points and told them.
After listening, Chen Xi frowned deeply and said in a deep voice:
"If this is the case, it means that the organizational force behind the thugs is likely to be related to a powerful aboriginal."
"In this case...the enemy we face is not that easy to deal with!"
"Originally, the only advantage players have over the aborigines is to know how to deal with them and use intelligence and wisdom to win... But if it is a competition for resources and professional levels, the aborigines will win completely."
"Now, the player has colluded with a powerful indigenous organization..."
"In that case, the advantages that players have will completely disappear."
As soon as this was said, everyone present fell into silence.
Chen Xi's consideration is indeed correct. It has only been a few months since the player came to this world.
No matter the level of occupation or the abundance of resources, they are completely incomparable to the aborigines.
But now, the thugs are suspected to be relying on a powerful aboriginal...
It is conceivable that the player's advantage no longer exists, and moreover, he has to face a follow-up that is more powerful than his own resources...
In this case, the situation becomes very serious.
Chen Ye nodded slightly and said:
"However, I am not without any progress so far. At least I know where the thugs will gather next. Following this clue, I may be able to know the place, location and time of their transactions."
Chenxi nodded and said:
"Yes, if we can find the place where they traded, at least... all we have to do is to stop this transaction and prevent more resources from falling into the hands of the enemy."
Chen Ye smiled and said: "Yes, as long as we can break the opponent's rhythm without having to confront the opponent head-on and serve a strategic purpose, the advantage will tilt to our side little by little."
This is a tactic to avoid its sharp edge...
Moreover, Chen Ye possesses the [Lightless Stalker], which gives him mobility advantages and room for maneuver in the underground world.
It's just...needs to know where the thugs will be doing their business right now.
This requires Chen Ye to go to the underground world again to explore and contact the gang members in order to obtain relevant information.
"Then, I'll leave this matter to you."
"If there is any progress or if you need help from the church, you can send me a message."
"I will clarify this incident with the Pope, the connection with the clown, and the Bishop Lucius..."
"I believe we can also use the power of the Burning Sun Church."
Chen Ye nodded.
In fact, he formed an alliance with Chenxi for the power of the Lieyang Church.
After all, if this force intervenes in this battle...
That can undoubtedly add an extremely advantageous winning chip for our side.
"About the thugs... I only know that much for now. Maybe that guy knows more. You can try to contact him in the future."
Chen Ye raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xi immediately reacted and understood who Chen Ye was talking about.
She nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, if I have a chance in the future, I will ask him..."
After ending the conversation and watching Chen Xi leave Chengxin Restaurant, Chen Ye thought for a moment and decided to go to the underground world again.
