Open doll shop in escape games

Yan Lou introduced the current situation in the store to Nichols.

"Clerk?"

Yan Lou nodded and said: "The two girls are very talented, and they will be able to help soon. If I want to expand the strength of the doll shop, I can't do it alone, and what the dolls can do is limited. , recruiting a few suitable shop assistants can make me feel a lot easier."

Nicholas looked at him for a long time, "It's not just because of talent, is it?"

Yan Lou smiled, "You can't hide anything from His Majesty. There are a few local residents in the doll shop as shop assistants, which can reduce a lot of conflicts and facilitate the doll shop's integration into the dark world."

"Although the doll shop is independent in the escape game, it is located in the dark world after all, and we can't always stay outside."

After hearing this, Nichols was silent for a while, and said with emotion: "Zhuo Yusheng is the number one puppet maker in all worlds. His strength is stronger than yours, but he is far behind you in this respect."

"Your Majesty is familiar with Mr. Zhuo?" Yan Lou was also curious about the first store manager who only existed in legends.

"That's right." Nichols organized his words, "Zhuo Yusheng... is a person who can't sit still. When he was in the world of Yin and Yang, he was constantly wandering. Since the escape game established the connection between the worlds, the places he visited The place is even wider. According to him, his goal is to leave his legend in every corner of the world, so that his name will be passed down from generation to generation and last forever."

Nicholas remembered Zhuo Yusheng's rhetoric back then, and shook his head amusedly, "It's really not a lie, he almost did it, at least everyone in the dark world knows him."

"It sounds like a chic and unrestrained person, so how could he set up a doll shop and settle down in the dark world?" Yan Lou felt that it was not like Zhuo Yusheng would do such a thing that restricted his footsteps.

"He said that he wanted to give the new apprentice a place to live." Nicholas said, "I don't really believe it, but after the doll shop got on the right track, he did hand it over to Yun Qi. It's a pity... ..."

Seeing that his expression was not good, Yanlou was about to change the subject, but then he heard Nicholas say: "Speaking of which, I thought you knew Zhuo Yusheng before, don't you know him?"

Yan Lou was taken aback, then shook his head, "No, I never knew this person before."

"That's strange." Nicholas looked down at him, "Since I don't know him, how could Zhuo Yusheng appoint you as the store manager?"

"What?" Yan Lou was really surprised, the person who appointed him was Zhuo Yusheng?But he doesn't know this person?

Nichols said: "Forget it, Zhuo Yusheng has friends all over the world, maybe you have met before."

Yan Lou was silent, there was absolutely no such person in his living memory, unless he changed his name.As for after death...he spent more than half of the twenty years in a state of insanity, maybe he didn't even see it.

"I'll find out if I ask people when I meet them later," said Nicholas. "Let's talk about the doll shop."

Yanlou regained his senses and said, "In addition to the clerk, I also want to set up inspectors in the dungeon."

Nicholas raised his eyebrows, "Inspector?"

"Yes, the idea of ​​inspectors comes from abnormal dungeons." Yanlou said calmly, "There are dolls who have rebelled, even if they are temporarily suppressed, they may wait for an opportunity to make trouble after a while. I am busy with work, and it is impossible to go often Inspect the copy, so I want the inspector to replace me to regularly inspect the copy, which can reduce the chance of abnormal shutdown of the copy.”

Nichols thought for a moment, "It's feasible, who is the candidate?"

The inspectors are like the imperial envoys who patrolled hunting in ancient times, but they need to be vigilant against the situation of deceiving and colluding with each other, and the candidates for this inspection need to be cautious.

Yanlou pursed her lips and said, "There is no one that is particularly suitable at present, and it still needs to be cultivated."

Nicholas comforted him and said, "Don't be in a hurry, take your time."

"In addition, I want to try to create a reward dungeon." Yan Lou talked about Lan Popo and Lan Yi who met in Doll Island before, "Since the escape game has a cleanup dungeon to punish the player's behavior, why can't there be such a dungeon Reward the players?"

Nichols frowned slightly, and said, "This doesn't fit the purpose of the escape game."

Yan Lou replied: "So, my main purpose is to use it for retirement, for NPCs and staff."

The scale of escape games is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more employees of all kinds. No one has really considered the issue of pensions before.However, as the monarch, Nicholas has some experience with this. He said gently: "You have considered it very carefully, but it is still unknown whether this matter will be passed. You can try to submit an application to the headquarters in March next year."

Escape Games also reviews the performance of its subordinate organizations for one year every year, which is roughly equivalent to a performance appraisal.

Yan Lou was about to continue talking when she heard a burst of crying from far to near, and after a while she saw Dorothy running towards her.

Dolls don't have tears, but Dorothy's dry howls are also earth-shattering, making people wonder what kind of tragedy happened to her.

"Wow wow, scumbag..." Dorothy rushed up to him and wiped his clothes to wipe his face while crying, and complained pitifully: "Scumbag, brother hit me!"

Nicholas raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Yanlou.

With a dark face, Yanlou gritted his teeth and said, "Dorothy, your father and I are here!"

Dorothy's crying stopped abruptly, she desperately looked up at the person who was being dragged by the hem of her clothes, then stretched her head to look behind her, and after a while she let out a slow "oh", but she didn't let go.

"Father scum, it's not my fault." Dorothy looked at Yanlou's ugly face, and whispered with her mouth pursed, "Whoever told you to dress similarly, I'll be wrong."

Yan Lou looked at the Xingyue robe on himself, and at the cloak on Nichols, the patterns were indeed somewhat similar.

Is this considered a couple?Barely count?

He took the time to collect his distorted thoughts, and heard Dorothy say again: "I still said why did you suddenly grow up, scumbag? It turns out..."

A vein twitched at the corner of Yan Lou's forehead, if it wasn't for the fact that Nickles was there, he forcibly suppressed his anger, Dorothy would have had a new body right now.

The height issue ranks among the top three topics he hates the most in his life.

Noticing that his face was even uglier, Dorothy cleverly changed the subject, "Scumbag, where did this good-looking little brother come from?"

Yanlou: ...

He should throw this little bastard out and call him father and His Majesty elder brother, isn't it too much life?

Nicholas raised his hand and clenched his fist to cover his lips, but he couldn't stop the muffled laugh that fell into Yanlou's ears.

Yanlou glared at Dorothy, turned around and apologized to Nicholas, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Dorothy is young and ignorant, she was rude."

Nicholas smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, it's... cute."

Under Yan Lou's threatening gaze, Dorothy let go obediently, and cowardly touched the tail of the long robe behind Yan Lou.

"Why are you here?" Yan Lou asked with a headache, "Where's Louis?"

Dorothy glanced at the corridor, and the doll wearing a crying face mask tacitly poked its head from the corner.Louis followed Dorothy all the time, but Dorothy ran too fast, and he didn't follow for a while, and Louis, who was shy when he saw a stranger, didn't dare to come out.

"By the way, I'm here to sue!" Dorothy finally recalled her purpose, "Scumbag, brother stinky hit me!"

Yanlou glanced at her and smiled, "It deserves it!"

Dorothy was once the leader of the doll shop, and now the position of the leader has changed. Seeing who beats whoever, Yancheng succeeded in taking the position, and beat the former first sister to tears.

Of course, although Yancheng is highly defensive and has a bad temper, he will ignore people who do not violate his territory. Unfortunately, Dorothy is a flirtatious person, and she provokes others whenever she is idle, so she really deserves the beating.

Dorothy: "...I want to change my father!"

Yan Lou: "Oh."

"Really, I think the little brother next to you is not bad." Dorothy whispered, "He is good-looking! Tell me, how about letting him be my father? Stepfather is also fine!"

Yan Lou took a deep breath, and under Nicholas' half-smile eyes, he lifted Dorothy's braid and flicked it out.

Louis, who was hiding in the corner, jumped out, swiftly caught Dorothy who fell to the ground in a parabola, and then fled quickly with the little guy who was desperate to die.

With an expressionless face, Yanlou said to Nichols calmly and steadily: "Your Majesty, I will take you to the front hall to have a look."

Nicklus smiled, and followed him very obediently, but suddenly asked halfway: "You made that doll just now?"

Yanlou paused, stiffened for a few seconds and then said nonchalantly, "Well, the first doll I made was Dorothy, and it was more...naughty."

"I see." Nicholas said with a smile, "Although it's a bit blunt and reckless, it's also quite cute."

Yanlou thought, it's not just a little blunt and reckless, it's a billion points, okay?He often suspects that when making Dorothy, he forgot to assign intelligence to her, which caused her to often act with touching intelligence.

At this time, the sky suddenly exploded with a bright silver light, and then the night sky was filled with gorgeous fireworks, even the stars were briefly dimmed.

"The celebration has begun." Yan Lou glanced at the fireworks outside, then turned to Nicholas and said, "Your Majesty, shall we go out and have a look?"

"it is good."

The center of the carnival is the square, where most of the performances are gathered, and the laughter will spread throughout the streets and alleys of Angos City when the whole city is paraded later.

It was just getting dark, listening to the warm sounds from the square, watching the non-stop fireworks in the sky, the doll shop also became lively.

In other words, the whole city began to boil.

"Hughes, open the door!" Yan Lou greeted the dolls in the front hall, "The store is not open today, you can play in the city, but be careful."

The dolls immediately cheered, "Thank you, my lord!"

Yanlou wanted to go directly to the street, but he hesitated when he saw the residents on the street, because almost all of them were wearing exaggerated clothes that they would not normally wear, and some even painted their faces with bright oil paint.

Carnival celebrations are a bit like Halloween in the West. On this day, people will dress up in all kinds of weird images, but they don't look like themselves anyway.

But he looked at his clothes, and at His Majesty next to him, wouldn't he be out of tune with everyone if he went out like this?

"What's wrong?" Nicholas looked at him suspiciously.

Yan Lou pursed her lips, and hesitantly told Nichols this question.

Nicklus smiled and took out two gorgeous masks, one for himself and one for Yanlou.

"You're overthinking." Nichols said, "Our look is just right, and not many people would wear it like this on weekdays."

It was only then that Yanlou remembered that the star-moon pattern had a special meaning in the dark world, and ordinary people would not wear it on their bodies.

He was relieved, "Then let's go."

Looking at the crowded people on the street, Nichols said, "Wait a minute."

He suddenly took a step closer and took Yanlou's hand, the heat in his palm made his heart tremble slightly.

Under the brilliant fireworks in the sky, Nicholas looked at him with his head tilted, and said softly:

"Hold on, don't get lost."
