Weird Regulator

In the old town of Shanming City, there is a convenience supermarket in Tieguai Hutong.

Uncle Wang, bring me two bottles of herbal tea.

The middle-aged man called Uncle Wang put two bottles of dark-colored herbal tea on the counter with a naive smile on his face, and casually joked:

Young people are full of energy. The weather is getting colder and colder. You are the only one who still comes here every day to buy herbal tea.

Li Guanqi took out five yuan from his wallet and put it on the counter. He put away the herbal tea and smiled politely, then turned and walked into the supermarket.

The back door of the instant noodle supermarket led directly to the interior of the community, but after he opened the door, he walked into a brightly lit golden hotel.

Li Guanqi stood at the door of the fifth branch, unscrewed the cap of the herbal tea bottle, took a deep drink, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his fingers.

A girl with cool dreadlocks walked towards him chewing gum. Li Guanqi looked at this scene with memories in his eyes.

Once upon a time, it was Li Congrong who bought two cans of herbal tea and returned to the hotel, and the person walking towards him was himself.

But now things have changed, and those familiar figures from the past have disappeared forever in the long river of time.

Li Guanqi is now the store manager of the fifth branch. He lives like his uncle, buying the same herbal tea and walking the same path.

This girl with distinctive clothes and cool looks can be regarded as Li Guanqi's best friend in the fifth branch.

In great contrast to her appearance, she has a very elegant and quiet name, Lu Caiwei.

After all, Lu Caiwei is also an old man from the fifth branch. She comes from the era of Li Congrong and Shi Dalu. Although she is not very old, she has strong comprehensive ability.

And she has a special crime item that is the only one among the ten major branches: a compass watch.

It can realize group teleportation within a certain range. This is a life-saving large-space weapon. She is the only one in all branches who has it.

Lu Caiwei and Li Guanqi are about the same age. Although they have very different personalities, they get along very well. She is also the biggest backup left by Li Congrong to Li Guanqi.

It can be said that with Lu Caiwei, it is almost impossible for anyone or any ghost to destroy the fifth branch.

Guanqi, I received an email saying that the pickup mission has been suspended. Do you know what's going on?

Li Guanqi handed another bottle of herbal tea to Lu Caiwei, hesitated and said:

My first store manager task will be officially carried out the day after tomorrow. Once the store manager task is started, all store managers from all branches will participate. The normal introduction task will also need to wait until it is completed before it can be opened.

Oh? I heard from the old store manager that the store manager task is a long-term task...

Lu Caiwei has a somewhat crazy personality, is young and has strong cards, so she is not very interested in ordinary recruitment tasks.

She moved closer to Li Guanqi, held his arm with her hand, and said in a feigned pity:

Can you think of a way to bring me with you? I was not selected for the two missions. I'm afraid I'll get sick from boredom. If I can get into the store manager mission...

Li Guanqi quickly took out his hand and interrupted him seriously:

Stop Caiwei, I just took over as the store manager and I encountered the store manager task. The store managers of the ten branches are not simple roles.

My uncle killed all the chess pieces of the first branch. I'm afraid that when Li comes to see me later, the situation will be worse than I expected.

You are at the forefront of the safety of the fifth branch. As long as there are no accidents, our foundation will not have any accidents.

Li Guanqi let out a long sigh and looked at the portraits of past store managers scratched on the wall of the hall. The last one was that of Li Congrong.

His life was saved by Li Congrong, but he will be a different store manager from Li Congrong.

The fifth store is Li Guanqi's responsibility.

…

The largest shop in Shanming City Food Street, Wangdu Hot Pot Restaurant, is also where the second branch of Tianhai Hotel is located.

In the room on the top floor, a man was holding a brush and writing a long poem on the table. The brush was vigorous and powerful.

The man's room is almost full of ink-style copybooks, even on the walls. It can be seen that he is a very skilled and extremely enthusiastic calligraphy enthusiast.

He is said to be a man, but he looks as beautiful as a woman...

No, she is more beautiful than many women.

His skin was so white that it had a cool halo in the sunlight, and his slightly long bangs hung slightly and swayed gently with the movement of his pen.

The slender fingers were working extra hard, and a drop of sweat dripped down the white neck. If an acquaintance hadn't seen it, they would have thought that this was a very good-looking woman writing calligraphy.

Dong dong dong.

After the last stroke was made, there was a knock on the door from outside. Su Chenghe took off the rimless glasses on his face, wiped the sweat with a handkerchief, and let the people outside the door come in.

The person who came was a rough man in work clothes. Standing in front of Su Chenghe with a tall and thick appearance, there was a huge sense of contrast.

Store manager, I have brought all the copybooks you asked me to find.

Su Chenghe took the copybook, felt very distressed when he saw the fingerprints on it that were pressed hard by the man, and wiped them gently with his fingers.

The rough man scratched his head in embarrassment when he saw this, and then asked: Store manager, is that mission coming soon?

Su Chenghe put down the copybook and nodded: Yes, I will go to the store manager task in three days, otherwise I wouldn't let you help prepare so many copybooks.

Su Chenghe is known as the three best among the ten store managers.

One is her appearance, which is more beautiful than most women;

The second is calligraphy. Before he entered the hotel, he was a famous up-and-coming calligrapher in the Hujiang area. His good calligraphy made him very famous in the calligraphy circle;

Sanjue is a sinful object, and his only sinful object is the copybook.

He writes on paper, which is a consumable sinful object that can be used to ward off ghost attacks.

Su Chenghe, the manager of the Sanjue store, is actually not particularly outstanding in his abilities. The single crime item makes him more famous than powerful.

Among the ten store managers, he could only be ranked in the middle. In order to survive and for the second branch, he chose to cooperate with Xu Nan, the third deputy store manager of the first branch.

Strengthen the circulation of goods between the two branches, strengthen the strength of the branch, and ensure a higher survival rate.

Su Chenghe opened the drawer, took out a piece of information, and put the information about the fifth branch, Li Guanqi, on the table.

I have heard about the new store manager of the fifth branch, Li Guanqi.

It is said that he has excellent chess skills and a gentleman's demeanor. This time he is a store manager and needs to make some friends.

The rough man curled his lips and muttered: You two are a good match. One is calligraphy and the other Go. They must have similar interests.

…

Shanming City Crematorium is where the third branch of Tianhai Hotel is located. However, due to the special location, there are almost no people here.

So the manager of the third branch, Chen Hansheng, was in the guard room, pretending to be asleep with a straw hat covering his face.

Sit on the chair and put your feet on the table, shaking them one at a time.

An old artist's storytelling Romance of the Three Kingdoms came from the radio, just in time for the empty city plot.

The man was excited when he heard this. He clapped his thighs with his big hands and sang along with the storytelling excerpts:

I am originally from Wollongong, and I can discuss Yin and Yang as if I were holding the palm of my hand to protect the world. The late Emperor went to Nanyang to ask for three invitations, and I got three thirds of the Han family's business...

When he was in the middle of singing, a phone call interrupted him. Chen Hansheng sighed and took off his straw hat, revealing a face of about fifty years old, and answered the phone helplessly.

A man's words came from the other end of the phone, his voice was so magnetic that it made people feel clear in their hearts:

Han Sheng, are you disturbing your leisure time?

Chen Hansheng knew who the caller was. Although the other person spoke very politely, it really dampened his interest.

As the store manager of the third branch, he may be fond of storytelling due to his age, and his temperament is one thing and another.

It can also be called stubborn and straight-tempered. This is an anomaly in the top ten branches where there are many gangsters and evildoers.

Chen Hansheng turned down the radio in annoyance and snorted: It's good that you know.

The man on the other end of the phone was not angry or embarrassed. Instead, he spoke more beautifully:

I recently found a set of out-of-print old tapes, which are your favorite selections of the Empty City Plan.

After completing the store manager task, I will find a time to send it to you.

Chen Hansheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, he took his feet off the table and sat upright:

Is this true?

Haha, don't worry, Han Sheng. I, Gu Xingjian, will always keep what I said.

It's coming, I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

The bosses of the ten major branches are finally going to make their appearance one by one.
