Laura's face was grim, and her silver teeth clenched.

The big family in the dignified Shangcheng District of Shadu has no position to speak now, and it is extremely humble.

By the time Laura had come to her senses, Link and Mina, who were sitting in the distance, had already begun to eat.

Laura snorted coldly, simply stopped looking at the two, lowered her head and ate with Anna.

On the table for two was the chef's innovative menu for May, so it was served to the two family owners.

It's just that Laura and Anna are not thinking about the latest dishes at the moment, and eating them tastes like chewing wax in their mouths.

Finally waiting for a table in the distance to finish eating, Mina wiped the corners of her mouth, then took out the makeup mirror and began to touch up her makeup.

"Hall Master Lin, if I say that there is a second event on our dating list, I'm afraid you will be absent-minded when you go. Seeing that all your attention is on the data now, this time I will let you go. ”

As Mina got up, her eyes swept over the dejected Newman Shuangshu in the distance, and suddenly the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, holding the chest of the red dress with one hand, and then slowly lowered her waist and leaned into Link's ear with great intimacy, and her flame-like lips were only a small distance from Link's ear, looking like she was going to kiss it.

Link's hairs stood on end, and his whole body froze.

He could clearly feel Mina's breathing, the hot aroma beating against his neck, as if an invisible hand was caressing his skin.

"Hall Master Lin, I'll leave now, so I won't delay your appointment."

Mina got up and left, glancing at Laura in the distance before leaving, her eyes full of provocation.

After Mina left, Laura, who was so anxious to jump her feet, restrained a lot.

Link immediately opened the brown paper bag and took out the materials inside.

The information document is indeed about the Hidden Alliance, from the structure of the alliance to the composition of the gangs under it. In addition, there is a lot of information about the core members of the Secret Alliance, and even the content that the core of the Secret Alliance is a blood clan has been revealed.

"Mina's intelligence information still has a hand, except for some gang secrets, the rest of the content is involved, as long as the authenticity of the intelligence is verified, it can already be arranged with this information." Link's eyes were bright, and if these materials were to be purchased on the underground black market, they would probably cost hundreds of thousands.

Laura saw Link sitting at the dining table without moving an inch, focusing on the information in her hand, and took Anna's hand, her eyes signaling.

Anna looked entangled, shook her head again and said, "He chose to come to the appointment today, which shows that the contents of the document bag are very important to him, don't bother him now, wait for him to finish reading." ”

Laura's dangling ass sat down again, pouted and complained, "Before I even skimmed the figure, my elbow was already turned outward." ”

Anna looked innocent: "Even if it's someone else, you can't go up and disturb at this time." ”

After reading all the information, Link looked up and let out a cloudy breath.

"Whew, with these materials, you can arrange it in advance."

As soon as the words fell, a pleasant voice came from behind him.

"Hall Master Lin, is today's dinner still appetizing?"

Link quickly closed the information and suddenly looked up to see Laura with a smile on her face.

"Well, the food is very appetizing, worthy of the Newman family, a giant in the farming and catering industry."

Laura glanced at Link's tableware, only took a sip of lemonade, the plate in front of her was basically clean, the steak was only cut into a small piece, and the other things were only eaten sporadically, even to the point that if you were not familiar with the chef's presentation style, you would not be able to see that these dishes had been used.

That's what the legend says is very appetizing......

Laura drew a few black lines on her forehead, took a deep breath and asked, "I don't know if Hall Master Lin has time at this time, I have something I want to talk to you about." ”

Link stuffed all the materials into a brown paper bag and said nonchalantly, "I want to talk about the little fragrant pig." ”

Laura bent down and dusted off the seat Mina had sat on with her hand, seeming to be disgusted.

After sitting down, he said seriously: "Our Newman family is very sincere!" ”

Link closed the seal of the brown paper bag with a thin thread, and raised his head to stare at Laura: "It's not impossible to cooperate with the Newman family, but the breeding factory and slaughterhouse of the little fragrant pig need to be provided by your Newman family, and at the same time, you will be rationed every month." ”

Laura frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was not simple, and hurriedly asked, "How should the profits of our cooperation be divided?" ”

"82 open, I 8 you 2."

Laura gasped, and her otherwise calm state of mind felt like she had been thrown into a huge stone, splashing ripples.

"Hall Master Lin is not joking, 82 open, our Newman family still has to provide a breeding factory and a slaughterhouse, so what else do we earn?"

Link leaned forward slightly, with an unquestionable tone: "What you earn is that you can continue to maintain the status of the Newman family's strongest catering and breeding industry in Shadu, and I can guarantee that the little fragrant pig will only supply your Newman family, this is my sincerity." ”

Laura held back a cloud of anger in her chest, and when she heard Link's words, her anger was suppressed.

Link leaned back and leaned back in his chair with a relaxed face: "Although I have only been here for a short time, I still know some things about the Newman family, and your life has not been easy recently. Although on the surface, you still maintain the name of the largest breeding and catering family in Shadu, but if you continue, I believe that your market share will soon be eroded by the family that comes from behind, and you will completely lose your monopoly position at that time. ”

Laura's face was solemn, and Link's words were like a bayonet, plunging directly into her heart, poking at her weakest point.

The reason why she was so anxious to get Little Fragrant Pig was to save the declining influence of the Newman family.

Feng Porridge, a core member of the Feng family in Shangcheng District, accidentally found a divine pot dug up from the ruins of the old era when he went out this year, this pot can turn decay into magic, put the most ordinary ingredients into it, and the food produced will rise a grade in terms of appearance and taste.

With this divine cauldron, the Feng family built a restaurant called 'Food for Heaven'.

In just a few months, diners who used to frequented the Newman family's high-end restaurants have now all switched to 'food is the sky', resulting in a decline in the turnover of high-end restaurants in the past six months.

In the past six months, the family has also thought of a lot of ways.

Hire better chefs, select better ingredients, and strengthen the quality of food and beverage services.

But all of this is to no avail, the source of customers is still decreasing every month, and many repeat customers in Shangcheng have never come back after going to 'Food for Heaven', which is the most terrifying.

There are so many rich people in Shadu, and high-end restaurants are all supported by these repeat customers.

The return customer is gone, which is tantamount to taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle.

Now the Newman family still occupies 80% of the high-end market, but only they know that the turnover is declining every month, and even some small and atmospheric side stores have not opened for a whole week.

There are no guests, but the operating costs are always there.

In this case, it is wise to close the store, but once the store is closed, the market will find that the Newman family's store will start to close en masse, and the market share will be lost, and the other party will expand more unscrupulously.

After Link stayed in the Kirin Hall, the number of subordinates he could command increased, so he sent someone to have an in-depth understanding of the situation of the Newman family, and his own power Brilliant Hotel also belongs to the catering industry, so he heard some news from the industry, and Link only then learned about the Newman family's status.

"I have confidence in the quality of Xiaoxiang Pig, and I think it's okay to regain market share from the Newman family with this. And after the quantification, you can use the method of hunger marketing. Repeat customers in Uptown are not short of money, and if you tie food to status, they will only flock to it. ”

"When this little fragrant pig grows up, I will take the lead in trying it in my own Brilliant Hotel, if it proves to be feasible at that time, if you want to join, then the sharing ratio will not be 82, but 91."

Laura frowned slightly, and her heart was in turmoil.

"Give me some time, I need to discuss with the family, the main thing is that the Newman family has never signed a contract with such a proportion."

The corners of Link's mouth lifted slightly, with a silent sneer.

After all, it is the arrogant Shangcheng family, which used to be the party that took the initiative, and has never signed such a 'humiliating treaty'.

"Yes, but remind me, Miss Laura must pay attention to the time, you know that the breeding and growth time of the little fragrant pig is different from that of ordinary pigs, and you may hear the news of the new dishes of the Brilliant Hotel in a few days."

Link said, picking up the file bag.

When I turned around, I happened to see Anna standing at the table in the distance, waiting, and nodded.

Link took the information, and Fred drove back to Kirin Hall.

The Newman family discussed what the outcome was, Link didn't care at all, he was more concerned about the end of the closed beta after tonight.

That's right.

The closed beta lasts for 5 days, which is 15 days in the game, and today is the last day.

After 0:00, all players will be forcibly removed from the public test and wait for the official open test in a month and a half.

It's 9:30 p.m., and it's too late to say goodbye to the wind-chasing soft and cool thief.

Link returns to the Qilin Hall and learns from the third child that the Cool Thief is giving Ah Fu his final advice.

Chasing the wind decided to stand on the last shift, and after taking his men to inspect the neighborhood at 11 o'clock at night, he returned to the Kirin Hall to say his final goodbye.

Link went straight to the courtyard where Ah Fu was in the back hall.

As soon as I walked to the door of the room, I heard through the window that the robber was giving an explanation.

"The center of gravity of the commercial street is always Jinbi Hotel and Brilliant Hotel, and the entire commercial street must focus on these two places......"

"I know I'm talking a bit a bit too much, so I took advantage of these two days to write my business ideas into a book, which records all the problems I encountered when I was in business and entrepreneurship, and if you encounter the same problem, you can find the answers in this book. In addition, I heard that the boss has recently developed a new catering brand with Xiaoxiang Pig, because I am also from a food and catering background in Shui Lanxing, so I know a lot about this industry, and some suggestions are also given in the book. ”

Ah Fu looked nervous: "I don't even understand the commercial street now, so let me take over the little fragrant pig, I'm afraid it's not good, right?" ”

The thief patted Ah Fu on the shoulder, with a determined face: "Believe me, if you don't decide to open the book, as long as you follow the operation written in my book, I guarantee that there will be no problems!" I don't think Brother Fu wants to see the boss working alone, I really want to share the boss's worries! ”

Ah Fu nodded firmly, sharing the worries of the boss was his biggest goal.

"Okay, I'll accept the book, the operation of the Xiaoxiang Pig brand, I'll apply for it in the future, and share the worries of the boss!"

……

Link didn't knock on the door to spoil the atmosphere, turned around and went back to his study, and then sent a text message to Ah Fu.

Let him take the cool thief and Chasing Wind to the study later.

Sitting in the study, Link leaned on the wooden chair of yellow rosewood, and entered the [Forum] to check the status of the closed beta players at this moment.

Because of the punctual disconnection at 0:00, almost all closed beta players are online at the moment, either hurry up the last two hours to do the task, or find an inconspicuous place to water the forum.

On the Wasteland forum, the most discussed issue among players right now is what Wasteland will evolve into when you re-enter the game after 'half a year'.

In just 15 days of gameplay, players have witnessed the fierce attitude of NPCs towards players.

And no matter where you are, you can feel the unstoppable feeling of the wheels of time rolling forward.

The NPCs they are getting acquainted with now, the prestige and goodwill they have done so hard, if they go online during the public beta in 'half a year later', and find out that things are not human, the feeling of having them but seeing them disappear will definitely make people have mixed feelings and mixed tastes.

In addition to this, Link also paid special attention to the post about the [Hotel Shootout] dungeon.

On the 15th day, there was finally a level 10 player who spent money to buy guns in full gear and successfully completed the mission progress of [Hotel Shootout]. It's just that looking at the evaluation in the screenshot, this player just got a 'normal' rating, and the reward is a white quality weapon with a slightly higher damage number than weapons of the same level.

But in the process, he coincidentally crashes open the door of the painter John's room and meets the legendary NPC.

In the content of the post, the player named 'Luo Mu' unreservedly explained the process of discovering the legendary NPC.

The news of the appearance of a Legendary NPC in a primary dungeon was like a 'Tsar Bombard', instantly capturing the commanding heights of the Wasteland Forum more than an hour before the unforgettable tonight, and even players from the other two novice planets came to visit.

For closed beta players, the highest level is only level 10, and it is already rare to see elite NPCs, and the chance to meet legendary NPCs is even rarer than 5 million.
