Chapter 0646 – Boss
”Don’t worry, everything is under control.” Chen Ge stood up and moved his body, comparing the current performance of the other few passengers would show how good Chen Ge’s physical quality really was.
”This hotel belongs to the other one’s territory, that headless female ghost won’t dare to come in for now.” Chen Ge stroked the white cat’s stomach, and the little guy was so frightened that he even forgot to resist.
”Wait a minute, your sentence is slightly too much information! What do you mean by another one’s territory? Could it be that there’s a similar female ghost living in this hotel?!” The drunken man found that he had grown a lot this night, and his brain was getting the better of him.
”It’s almost understandable, but don’t worry, that female ghost is still sleeping and won’t wake up for a while.” Chen Ge walked towards the inside of the restaurant, leaving several passengers frozen in place.
”He actually admitted it? There really is a female ghost! Fighting poison with poison? So ruthless?” The drunk looked at the doctor and the scissors, “No, you two should at least say something! There’s a female ghost right now outside the door, that’s a ghost!”
”Be quiet, so what if it’s a ghost?” Scissors knocked the drunkard’s hand to the side, his tone was cold, “If you provoke me, the ghost will kill you too.”
Among the few people, only the doctor was calmer, “Didn’t you notice that the words he used just now were all temporary? That means that later on, the female ghost outside might come in, and the sleeping female ghost might awaken, we might have to face two severe ghosts at the same time.”
”What do you mean?” The drunken man felt that the doctor was the most calm and reliable of the few, and he tried to decipher the deeper meaning hidden in the doctor’s words.
”What I mean is that you should hurry up and move your body, it might be worse than it is now later.” The doctor was also panting hard, of the three passengers, the one with the best stamina was Scissors, and it was evident that he had done a lot to prepare for this day, including working on polishing his body.
”No way …… who the hell am I messing with, it’s just a drink.” The drunken man rose from the ground, his cold sweat pouring out as he listened to the thud coming from the door to his room.
”Anyone?” Chen Ge walked to the counter, the restaurant was still in the same style as a decade or so ago, much like the scene in Boo’s game.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, a man’s voice came out from a room somewhere deep in the corridor: “Wait a moment! Coming right over!”
Another minute passed before several passengers saw a chubby man walk out from the depths of the corridor.
His hands were tying an apron, and one could tell that this apron was new, with not a single stain on it.
”Why are you so slow? No efficiency at all, you should always remember that as a service industry, customer experience should come first.” Chen Ge impatiently scanned the man.
”Sorry, I was just helping in the kitchen.” The middle-aged man wasn’t angry and smiled, his fat face looked so that people felt close to him.
”Helping in the kitchen?” Chen Ge realized that the middle-aged man’s hands were wet and had just been washed, but probably because he was in too much of a hurry, there were still some dark red stains remaining in the crevices of his nails.
”Yeah, we only have one cook here, so I sometimes go and help out.” The fat man grinned, his eyes not so big that if he didn’t twist his head, he wouldn’t even know who he was looking at.
”You’re the owner here?” The drunken man met someone he could communicate with normally for the first time since he entered Liwan Town, and he was a little excited in his heart.
”I have to go to the back kitchen to help out, I have to be a waitress, and I have to count the bills, this boss is actually not as good as a fellow.” The fat man entered the counter, “Do you want to stay here, or eat?”
”What’s the price?” The doctor frowned, he always felt that something wasn’t right, to be able to open a store in a town filled with blood fog, there must be something wrong with this place.
”Stay as long as you like for the first night, no charge. If you guys still want to continue staying, the second night we will pick one thing on you and use it as the room fee.” The fat boss seemed to be afraid that the few people would misunderstand, and added a special sentence, “Money doesn’t mean much to us, we’d rather want some more special souvenirs.”
”Then what if you still want to stay for a third night?” Chen Ge spoke indifferently.
”Take one more thing until you can’t get it out, then we’ll kick you out.” The owner seemed nice, “This is considered the safest place in town.”
”I see.” The drunkard nodded, “This place is just like the safe zone in the game, why don’t the four of us, stay for the night.”
”Here are your room numbers.” As if he was afraid that the drunkard would back out, the fat boss took out four keys from underneath the counter, with a number affixed to each key.
”It won’t take four rooms, the two of us can just share one.” The doctor was more cautious.
”That’s fine, you guys decide, I’ll ask in the kitchen and prepare dinner for you later.” The boss headed towards the back kitchen, the direction he left was not the same as the direction he came from.
When the boss left, the doctor picked out two rooms that were next to each other, “We’ll take these two rooms, then four people will live in one of them, and the other one will be empty. At night, everyone will take turns to keep watch and keep an eye on these two houses, and as soon as there is a problem in one of them, wake everyone up immediately.”
”Awesome!” Hope rekindled in the drunkard’s eyes, “As long as we stay up until dawn, or the fog lifts, we can definitely escape this town!”
Scissors also agreed with the doctor’s method, and among the several people, only Chen Ge had an odd expression.
”This should be the safest way.” The doctor looked towards Chen Ge, after all, Chen Ge was the backbone.
”The four of us hiding in the room is tantamount to saying that we’ve ceded the initiative to others, they have plenty of time to set up all sorts of traps and mechanisms, while we can only passively wait in the room.” Chen Ge did not even look at the key on the counter.
”Then what do you think should be done?” Several people were curious about the solution Chen Ge came up with.
”It’s simple, the boss just said himself that there is only one cook here besides him.” A smile appeared on Chen Ge’s face as he held out his own finger, “There are two of them while there are four of us, so rather than spending an uneasy night, I’d rather take the initiative and be the shopkeeper for a night.”
”You want to be the shopkeeper?” The drunkard felt his three views being blown to pieces, “Brother, people were just talking to us politely, and you’re preparing to be a shopkeeper with this backhanded move? It’s not quite right, is it?”
”A store that even the red-robed stern ghosts don’t dare to enter, do you really think that the owner is being polite to you?” Chen Ge had played Boo’s game, he knew the significance of this store’s existence, the customers were the food, and it would all end up in the stomach of that red-robed one in the refrigerator, “You guys should understand why I’m doing this when dinner is served later.”
Chen Ge placed the white cat on his shoulder and held all four keys in his hands, “Don’t ever expose them, I want you guys to trust me, and I can assure you that I’m a good person, except that my goodness has its own sharp edges.”
