The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

"How could it be open without tables and chairs, and the guests don't even have a place to sit. Who would want to come to this kind of restaurant." Elaine didn't believe it.

"I'm very experienced in this area. You only have one dish of fried red shrimp in your store. It's not so much a restaurant as it is a shop that specializes in fried red shrimp. Food like bread can be taken away. So fried red shrimp Why not?"

"But the bread can be put in a paper bag for customers to take away, but the fried red shrimp can't. It has soup and oil, so it can't be packed at all."

"Who said it needs to be packed in a bag?" Sarah said, "You can ask the guests to bring their own pots and bowls!"

"Bring your own pots and bowls?" It was the first time Elaine heard such a statement.

"That's right, the guests bring their own pots and bowls, and the restaurant is only responsible for making them ready for him to put in the pots and bowls. Stir-fried small red shrimp is also a dish that is more suitable for takeaway."

"But... no one has ever done this before."

"No one has done it, but no one said it won't work, right?"

"It is."

Elaine was a little moved, she still didn't want the restaurant to close down, because the loss was too great.

"Then... shall we try first?"

Chapter 257 The Price of Happiness (11)

After buying a new iron pot and preparing all the ingredients, the restaurant reopened.

Surprisingly, this way of bringing your own container to take away instead of eating in the restaurant is unexpectedly more popular.

As soon as it was launched, many customers came in to patronize. After learning about the new business model, they prepared their own pots and bowls to buy small red shrimp.

And this has a great advantage, that is, it saves the cost of waiters and handymen, and only needs the back kitchen.

So Li Jie and Sarah can all come to help in the kitchen, sharing a lot of workload for Lu Nier.

Because of the notice on the door, many customers came to Elaine to persuade them not to sell, but in order to catch the person who has been targeting the restaurant behind the scenes, Elaine had to lie and say that she was going to give up because of the pressure of recent events. operate.

Elaine had to suppress her joy that the business was so good all day, and pretend to be sad in front of outsiders.

Fortunately, this seems to have fooled others.

When it was time to close at night, a man in a suit walked in and approached Elaine directly.

"We are closed for business today."

"No, Ms. Elaine, I'm not here to buy food, I'm here to buy this restaurant." The man said with a smile.

Elaine suddenly became nervous and looked at the person in front of her with some hostility.

"Let's go, I won't sell this restaurant anymore!"

"But the notice on the door..."

"I'm about to tear it off. Only a fool would sell such a good business."

In fact, this is also a strategy, a temporary change of mind, and the business is so good that you want to sell the restaurant, which is undoubtedly too contrary to common sense, and it seems very false.

So when the fish was hooked, in order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, Elaine had to pretend to change her appearance because the business was so good.

Sure enough, the man heard what Elaine said, not only did he not give up, but continued.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am an intermediary businessman who was entrusted to buy this restaurant." The intermediary said, "As far as I know, Ms. Elaine's restaurant has encountered a lot of things recently. ?”

"What does this have to do with you?"

"Ms. Elaine, have you ever thought that today the restaurant may be invaded by unknown persons, and the furniture and other items inside may be damaged, and tomorrow, it may be a big fire that directly burns the restaurant to nothing. At that time, the loss will be too great."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Threat? Of course not, I just raised a possibility."

Lu Nier and the others watched the conversation between the two, and Li Jie explained in a low voice.

"From the news I heard, this unscrupulous intermediary appeared several times. Every time he came forward to negotiate with others, but he was indeed just an intermediary, negotiating prices for others, but he also knew that these restaurants were affected. Maliciously targeted things, and use these things as threats and bargaining chips."

"I remember this kid." Sarah said.

"Since this person has been entrusted so many times, is it possible that he knows who hired him?" Luneil asked.

"There is a high probability that he knows. A person like him will definitely find a way to investigate his employer's information, so as not to fall into a pit in a daze, or to avoid dying without knowing how he died."

Not far away, the conversation between Elaine and the intermediary was not pleasant, as could be heard from Elaine's angry tone.

"I came here with sincerity, Ms. Elaine, you have to know that this restaurant of yours is not the first restaurant I have dealt with, and I have never missed it. In fact, I think you should know that the fire This kind of thing is very common, you have to know that it happened not long ago, coincidentally, it was also a restaurant, and it happened to be disaster-prone before the fire."

Although the intermediary's tone sounded very polite, there was a threat between the lines.

He almost didn't tell Ming "if you don't sell the restaurant, the restaurant will catch fire".

Elaine hesitated for a moment, as if she was going through a very difficult decision, she nodded after thinking about it.

"Okay, but about the price..."

"Of course it won't make you suffer." The intermediary's expression showed joy, "But... After all, the restaurant has encountered a lot of things, and the price will still be slightly affected."

Afterwards, the two discussed the price. Yi Lian tried her best to show that she wanted to raise the price as much as possible, while the intermediary on the opposite side was looking for various reasons, half threatening and half bluffing to lower the price.

In the end, the price of the restaurant was set with a figure that couldn't hide the joy on the face of an intermediary.

"Very good. Now that the price has been confirmed, I will prepare the contract today. Let's sign it as soon as possible tomorrow. Happy transaction."

"I'm not happy at all." Elaine said grimly.

The intermediary is no stranger to Elaine's bad tone. The owner of a restaurant he handled before even beat him up at one point.

"At least it's better than burning down the restaurant, isn't it?"

The junket made a self-righteous joke, then just smiled and said goodbye.

When the intermediary agent left, Lu Nier followed out alone.

Seeing Lu Nier going out, Sarah couldn't help but said.

"You will definitely be considered an idiot now. The price is too outrageous. Fortunately, this is a bait, so don't really sell it."

"But I should be considered a success, right?"

"Successful. Signing the contract requires one's own handwriting. From now on, we just need to follow the intermediary and wait for him to contact the person behind the scenes."

"That's good!" Elaine breathed a sigh of relief, "When I see the mastermind behind the scenes, I will definitely beat him up!"

"Let's take a rest today, and then we will wait for the good news from Lu Nier."

……

Lunier followed this person, and even put on [The Phantom of the Opera]...

The upgraded [Phantom of the Opera] has a new effect, which is C-level cognitive deception.

This effect, after Lunier inquired about the system, knew its specific utility.

To put it bluntly, it is to make others misjudge their own cognition.

To give a simple example, a beggar wears [Phantom of the Opera]. If this effect is used, he can disguise himself as a rich man. When others see the beggar, they will be deceived by the effect of the mask and ignore the beggar. Rough clothes and other features, subconsciously think he is a rich man.

An effect that can make others feel that an actor has really become the character he is playing.

The most wonderful thing is that after using this effect, Lunier can even deceive others "I don't wear a mask, and my appearance is like XXX", so that even if someone sees him wearing a mask, they will still be deceived and think that he is not wearing a mask. Wears a mask, and thinks that Runier looks similar to what Runier wants to deceive him.

The effect of this [cognitive deception] is activated entirely by Lunier's subjective consciousness. What kind of role he wants to play and what kind of cognition he wants to deceive others all depends on his thinking.

The side effect is that when Lunier uses this effect, his desire to perform will be further strengthened, and may reach an unstoppable state.

How strong the effect of [Cognitive Deception] can be exerted is basically determined by Lu Nier's own performance level, the strength of the opponent's mental attributes, and the opponent's familiarity with Lu Nier.

The more familiar people are with Lunier, the weaker this effect will be. For people like Li Jie and Triss, it probably won't have much effect.

Because in their cognition, the image of Lu Nier himself is too profound to be replaced by another image.

And the effect of Lu Nier's current disguise is [a passerby with an ordinary appearance and no sense of presence, easily overlooked]...

The moment he put on the mask, Lu Nier deceived others' cognition. All strangers, as long as they have low spiritual attributes and weak willpower, will be deceived by the effect of the mask. Neil was regarded as an ordinary passerby, and it was easy to ignore him.

As for the appearance, they can actually only see the mask, but they will use their imagination to imagine an ordinary face in their own impression.

With the help of the mask, Lu Nier tracked the intermediary very smoothly. When he saw Lu Nier occasionally, he would ignore him, and he would not think that Lu Nier was the one following him.

Because every time he sees Lu Nier, in his cognition, this is an ordinary passer-by, and he will forget Lu Nier's appearance in an instant. The next time he sees Lu Nier, maybe Lu Nier is there His eyes turned into another ordinary face that was hard to remember.

In this way, Lu Nier followed the intermediary to Finger's house smoothly, and arrived at the door of Finger's house.

There were guards at the door, obviously the security personnel invited by Finger's family. They seemed to know the broker and did not stop him.

Lu Nier thought about it, he changed the cognitive effect, and changed himself from an "ordinary passerby" to a "visited guest of the Finger family"...

After changing the effect of [Cognitive Deception], Lunier walked straight in through the main entrance.

The two security guards at the door glanced at Lu Nier, and quickly let him through with a respectful expression. Although it was the first time they saw Lu Nier, they somehow felt that Lu Nier was a distinguished guest of the Finger family. You can't stop Lu Nier, otherwise you will be blamed by the master of the Finger family.

Lu Nier passed the main entrance smoothly and continued to follow the intermediary.

The intermediary looked back at Lu Neil, didn't care much, and smiled politely, saluted, obviously feeling that he should be respectful and respectful to a "distinguished guest of the Finger family".

Lunier felt that after [Phantom of the Opera] was promoted to C-level, the effect was indeed very different from before. After all, the rewards of C-level were too rare.

Every time he gets a C-level reward, he needs to face an enemy who is at least a C-level level, such as Oulis and Dongguo's fifth seat named Wu Feng.

If the effect is not strong, it will make Lunier feel strange.

Because the effect is too strong, Lu Nier has always been very repulsive about drawing C-level rewards, because he is afraid of drawing something terrible, which will make him stronger and greatly increase the difficulty of death.

Fortunately, the C-level rewards this time did not have any rewards that significantly improved his survivability.

Lu Nier has the halo protection of "Valented Guest". He followed the intermediary all the way as if he was in his own home at Finger's house, and walked to a room, watching the intermediary walk in.

Lu Nier had no choice but to jump out of the window in the corridor, and then quietly came to the window outside the room, changed his perception, lowered his sense of existence, and looked into the room from the window.

Then, he saw the intermediary talking to people with a smile on his face.

More precisely, with several people, because there was more than one person in the room.

A woman with revealing clothes and heavy makeup, a man with a gloomy expression and a relatively silent expression, and a scruffy man who looked like a punk and was a bit sloppy.

In addition to the intermediary, there were three other people in the room.

"How are things going?"

"The restaurant has already agreed to sell, as long as I draw up the contract as usual, and a few people can sign it casually."

"Very good, but since Piguet is dead, in order of age, sign my name for the next contract."

"I have no objection." The man dressed as a gangster said, "Just don't forget to share my money."

"You can step back." The woman with heavy makeup waved her hand.

"Yes."

The intermediary obediently exited the room and left.

After the broker left, the three continued to talk.

"Has the cause of Pig's death been ascertained?"

"No, Pig's mistress only said that two people broke into the room, a man and a woman, and then she was beaten unconscious."

"A man and a woman?! Could it be Barger and that dead woman?" the gloomy man said with some fear.

"Calm down!" the woman with heavy make-up shouted, "So what if that dead woman? She is already a dead person. If she dares to come out, we will kill her again and make her shut up completely!"

"But how to deal with that Bug... Last time we took advantage of his lack of defense and designed an ambush, but we still failed to kill him..."

"He's injured like that. Even if he can't die, most people will be crippled. Don't worry about him. As long as we have money, we can hire a bunch of thugs, and he only has one person."

"Do you think Pig was killed..."

"What do you mean? Piggy couldn't have killed himself, could he?"

"I mean... Could Pigg be silenced because he wanted to reveal something?"

Speaking of this sentence, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold, and the faces of the three of them became a little ugly.

"The neck of the corpse was twisted. You two have seen this death method before. It is exactly the same as that person's death method..."

"Don't say any more, even if Pigg was silenced, he was the one who betrayed him first, and it's all because he was found!"
