Steam curled up inside the house, and the sound of water flowed. From time to time, a breeze blew in from the window, causing the white steam to bend. This building is isolated in the wilderness, and when you look outside the house through the window, you can't see any people, you can only see
To the rolling mountains and the remaining red sunset.
Zhao was soaking in the bath water, scrubbing the dirt on his body, and looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window with a lot of emotion in his heart. This sunset was like his previous life, which had slowly come to an end. When the sun appeared again,
At that time, what will greet him will be a new world, a new arena!
He is no longer the same person as before, but Zhao Zheng, the waiter in the shop.
Although life has been turned upside down, no matter how it changes, he must try his best to live a wonderful life. When he was a child, he used to read various martial arts novels to stay up at night. He yearned for the heroes in the books. Now God has given him a personal life.
He will never let go of the opportunity to be a hero.
He had already made up his mind in his heart that after he became a master of martial arts, he would go around doing chivalry and righteousness, eliminate violence and bring justice, and taste the taste of being a hero. In his previous life, he saw all kinds of injustices in society, but because of his weak strength, he could only endure it silently.
, if he has strong power in this life, he will definitely not tolerate it anymore, he will take action when it is time to take action, not seeking to be famous in the world, but just to be worthy of his own heart!
Thinking of this, his desire for martial arts became even stronger. He quietly put his thoughts into his mind and touched something magical.
In his mind, something similar to the dialog box in the game was clearly suspended, with simple lace on the corners, and a line of words written in the blank space in the middle [Tip: The host's physical fitness is too low, and it is not a real
The warrior cannot activate the system function yet].
At the beginning of Zhao Zheng's time travel, he had already discovered this line of words hidden in his mind. As long as he thought about it, this line of words would appear, and as soon as he stopped thinking, this line of words would disappear. Although this thing is magical, it can
Since such incredible things as time travel have happened, there is nothing strange about this kind of thing, and he can accept it.
The prompt box with this line of text is exactly the same as the prompt box in the game. Zhao Zheng suspected that the so-called system functions should refer to some functions in the game.
It said that he was not in good health and could not activate the system. It seemed that when he reached a certain level of martial arts, he should be able to activate it. He had a strong hunch that this so-called system would bring him great benefits.
, is his foundation in this martial arts world.
With his understanding of many major events and the help of this unknown system, Zhao Zheng's future seems to be infinitely bright, and the road has been paved with flowers.
"This world is wonderful, and my future must also be wonderful." Zhao Zheng's eyes were blazing, his whole body was warmed up, and he was full of expectations for the future. He sped up the movements of his hands, rubbed them quickly on his body, and washed them off.
Get rid of the dirt on your body.
…
After washing, Zhao Zheng put on the brown shorts given by Wang Er. Although the clothes were made of coarse cloth, they were clean and tidy and comfortable to wear. Matching the clothes, there was also a hat with tassels.
, he put the hat on his head and immediately felt like a waiter in a shop.
Zhao Zheng stood in front of the bronze mirror on the table, looking left and then again. What surprised him was that after washing his body, he turned out to be very handsome, with a standard handsome face. This face had fair skin.
He has good facial features, a pair of sharp eyebrows, dark eyes, a heroic look at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and his nose is also very straight and straight.
"Not bad, not bad, you really have the demeanor of a young hero." Zhao Zheng couldn't help but feel complacent, everyone has a love for beauty, and who doesn't want to look more handsome.
Looking at himself in ancient costume, his childlike innocence suddenly grew. He put on several poses in front of the bronze mirror, sometimes punching, sometimes kicking, sometimes pretending to be a peerless expert, having a great time.
Just when Zhao Zheng was having fun, there was a knock on the door. Wang Er urged from outside: "Boy, you've been washing for so long, are you done?"
"Oh, it's already washed. You'll be out soon!" Zhao Zheng didn't dare to delay any longer. He straightened his collar and clothes, opened the door and left the house.
Wang Er was standing outside. He looked up and down at the cleaned Zhao Zheng, and said doubtfully: "I didn't expect that your boy looks so good after being cleaned."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Zhao Zheng accepted Wang Er's compliment calmly and smiled. Before today, he had always been dissatisfied with this body. Today, he finally had some changes and developed a good impression of this body.
"Okay, come with me to see Shopkeeper Shen. What the inn needs is a waiter, not a waiter. No matter how good-looking you are, you still have to work." Wang Er waved and led the way, leading Zhao We are rushing to the third floor.
The two came to Shen Luoxia's door. Wang Er stretched out his wrinkled hands and knocked on the door several times regularly, first three times quickly, and then twice slowly, which obviously contained a mystery.
"I'm dressing up, you guys will wait at the door for a moment." Shen Luoyan's lazy and charming voice came from inside the room. Her voice was beautiful and melodious, like a song.
Making people wait seems to have always been a woman's prerogative. The Laughing Ghost's smile turned into a bitter smile, he shook his head slightly and waited outside obediently.
After a full stick of incense, the door was opened. The moment the door opened, a light and pleasant fragrance of flowers wafted out from the house.
The fragrance of flowers was not as good as that of human beings. Shen Luoxia held her newly combed hair in the style of twin spirit snakes and looked at the two people outside the door with charming eyes, especially lingering on Zhao Zheng for a few more times.
"Wang Er, I asked you to recruit a waiter for me. How can you bring me a noodle boy? Is he capable of doing the work in the inn with his body?" Shen Luoxia withdrew her gaze, and her words were full of meaning. Dissatisfaction. Although Zhao Zheng's appearance is good, she has never been interested in young children and only has a good impression of real men.
"Shopkeeper, even though this kid is young, he is very strong, has a bright mind, and knows how to read. That's why I chose him." Wang Er quickly put gold on Zhao Zheng's face.
"Since you said that, let's investigate for a few days and see." Shen Luoxia stroked her black hair a few times, turned her attention to Zhao Zheng again, and asked about Zhao Zheng's name and background.
Zhao Zheng answered them one by one and made up a story. He knew the place names of this world very well, and he could easily compose a life story. He had a nose and eyes.
Shen Luoxia let out a fragrant yawn, leaned on the doorframe softly and said: "Zhao Zheng, you must know the rules wherever you work. There are inns' rules, and rivers and lakes have their own rules. You are still young and not familiar with the world. You don’t know the rules of the inn, let alone the rules of the world. You are new here, and you can’t be expected to learn all the rules at once. You don’t need to go to the lobby these days. To greet the guests, just go to the kitchen and help with the work. Once you understand the rules of this business and memorize the prices of the food in the inn, you can then help in the lobby."
"Okay, don't worry, Shopkeeper Shen, I will definitely do a good job." Zhao Zheng said respectfully.
"Well, if you are qualified for this job, I won't treat you badly. My inn provides food and accommodation, and the salary is several times that of other inns. It's just..." Shen Luoxia dragged out a long sound, and said He said mysteriously, "My Hongchen Inn is a bit special. There will be some extra work for you to do. This kind of work is not available in other inns."
"What job?" Zhao Zheng asked knowingly. In fact, he had already guessed most of the jobs unique to black shops must be related to plotting against customers, otherwise there would be no need to be so mysterious.
"You have just arrived. It's not time to tell you these things. Let's wait until you get familiar with this place." Shen Luoxia hesitated and did not answer directly. She turned to Wang Er and said, "Okay, you bring Let him go to the kitchen. By the way, let’s introduce him to the people in the store.”
"Okay, I'll leave him to me. Don't worry, shopkeeper." Wang Er nodded in agreement and led Zhao Zheng downstairs.
After passing the level of shopkeeper Shen, Zhao Zheng has truly become a waiter here. However, it is still on probation for the time being. If he is not physically strong enough to do the job here, he may be fired. But he will not let this happen. Yes, he will definitely seize this good opportunity to obtain top-grade martial arts secrets.
Wang Er took Zhao Zheng downstairs, explaining the work and rules in the inn while walking. If he met other waiters or cooks in the store, he would stop and introduce them. Through Wang Er's introduction, Zhao Zheng got to know the whole family. The owner of the inn.
Counting the newly arrived Zhao Zheng, there are a total of eight people in Hongchen Inn, including a shopkeeper, a cashier, two chefs, and four waiters. Among these people, four are talented. All four of them are NPCs with names in "Jianma Jianghu". Zhao Zheng has seen the images in the forum before and has a certain impression.
Except for Zhao Zheng, all the people in this inn have martial arts skills. Apart from Shen Luoxia and Wang Er, the other two people with higher martial arts skills in the hotel are the chef "Human Butcher" Ren Qianqiu, and Song Kuaizui, the second waiter in the shop, but as for the martial arts of the other people, they are not worth mentioning.
When it comes to the level of martial arts, Shen Luoxia is of course the best among the four. Among the martial arts she has learned, the most accomplished one is a light skill called "Luo Yanbu". When used, she is as light as smoke and erratic. Uncertain, it can trick the enemy in a radius.
Along the way, Wang Er gave an overview of all aspects of the inn, and then handed Zhao Zheng over to the kitchen, asking Zhao Zheng to help in the kitchen first.
The man in charge of the kitchen is named Ren Qianqiu, nicknamed "Ren Butcher", and he is good at showing off the skills of the butcher. Because he once killed a man who stole his wife with a kitchen knife, he got the terrible nickname of "Personal Butcher". His nickname Although he is scary, he is still kind-hearted on weekdays. He especially likes to sing folk songs while cooking.
After Wang Er left, Ren Qianqiu briefly chatted with Zhao Zheng, and then assigned a lot of work to Zhao Zheng without any courtesy.
Zhao Zheng worked hard, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, and chopping vegetables. He was busy until night before he had time to rest. He was so tired that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and his shoulders and waist were sore. , his fingers were also soaked to the skin, and there were bursts of stinging pain. For the first time, he experienced the hardship of the waiter, and understood why choosing a waiter must be strong. Such a hard work, it would have been difficult for him in the past. , I can’t do anything, but in order to be successful in the future, I can only grit my teeth and persevere now.
At the second watch, the dinner party in the inn was over, and most of the guests went back to their rooms to sleep. Only a few people remained in the lobby.
Until then, it was the turn of the chef and waiters in the store to eat. Several plates of home-cooked dishes were brought to the table, and someone opened a jar of fragrant sorghum wine.
Zhao Zheng washed himself with the water in the copper basin and dragged his tired body out of the kitchen. As soon as he went out, he caught a glimpse of a tiptoeing figure walking up the stairs to the third floor.
The person who went upstairs was none other than the shirtless man who ordered the famous dish "Wedding Night". It was already the second watch. He came to the third floor as promised and knocked on the door with a hot face.
Knocked on the door of the female shopkeeper.
Not long after, the door creaked open, but no one inside came out. The shirtless man rubbed his hands, got into the house happily, and closed the door behind him.
"Hey, another fat sheep has taken the bait. Not just anyone can enter our shopkeeper's room." Ren Qianqiu's rough laughter came from behind Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng didn't say anything. He listened carefully and vaguely heard a few soft noises coming from the female shopkeeper's room, which seemed to be the sound of fighting. However, the sounds quickly disappeared and the female shopkeeper's room became calm again.
"Hey, you will never see that man again." Ren Qianqiu patted Zhao Zheng on the shoulder, stepped forward and said in a low voice.
"Why can't I see him?" Zhao Zheng's expression changed slightly.
"You will naturally know in the future." Rentuzi smiled, without revealing the truth, and strode towards the dining table.
In the game, Hongchen Inn is designed as a black shop. If a player with a negative good and evil value enters, he will be assassinated by the people in the shop, especially the female shopkeeper Shen Luoxia, whose attacks are extremely fierce.
In reality, of course, it is impossible for a black shop to commit crimes so blatantly. They all have to do it secretly. Ren Qianqiu said that Zhao Zheng will never see the shirtless man again. The implication should be that the shirtless man is dead and alive.
Of course, it is impossible for a person to see a dead person again.
"This is the legendary black shop." Zhao Zheng sighed secretly. Amidst the enthusiastic greetings from the waiters in other shops, he was the last one to sit at the dining table.
