Start with the script killing shop

With the blessing of Old John's acting skills, the rehearsal went extremely smoothly.

Unfortunately, the lighting, curtains and BGM only have their own ideas and are uncontrollable when Old John plays himself. The rest of the time they have to be manually operated by Jiang Qi. This resulted in the scenes where non-Old John appeared always being poorly rendered, which made Liu Lan admire Old John even more.

After an afternoon of rehearsal, Jiang Qi was numb, and the rehearsal ended.

When Jiang Qi went to the small stir-fry shop next door to eat rice with green pepper and shredded pork, Jiang Qi received the landlord's WeChat message pushed by Jiang Bing.

Before Jiang Qi could send out the OK emoticon, Jiang Bing called.

"Hey, my dear brother, how is the takeover of the script killing shop going smoothly?"

"It's okay. There are no customers. It feels similar to the convenience store last time." Jiang Qi swallowed the food in his mouth.

"It's normal. It's the off-season and students don't have holidays. I'm afraid you'll be too busy during the summer vacation." Jiang Bing said with a smile, "Lan Lan said you were rehearsing today. How was the rehearsal?"

"It's not bad." Jiang Qi felt pretty good about himself, "By the way, Liu Lan said you got this exclusive book for free. How can you get it for free?"

Jiang Bing gets excited when talking about Bai Prostitute: "I was approached by the publisher of a new studio called Card Game. I don't know when I added their WeChat account. This is their first book. , do promotion and publicity, and try it out for two weeks without any reason to cancel the subscription. I agreed on the spot as soon as I heard that there was such a good thing.”

Jiang Qi probably understood: "Sister, I think the quality of this book is pretty good. If this studio has new books in the future, you should consider buying it."

Jiang Bing disagreed: "What kind of high-quality good books can be produced by such an unknown small studio? You just haven't played scripts and haven't seen good books. Exclusive emotional books. If you buy them from a store like ours, you will lose money. It's a waste of money." Zhou Neng can drive two cars and make a small profit, so he can retire."

Jiang Qi wanted to say a few more words, but Jiang Bing turned to the next topic: "I heard from my sister-in-law that you are helping the teachers at your school..."

"..."

A routine phone call lasted for about 10 minutes. After Jiang Qi hung up the phone, he sat down and began to think about the method of obtaining cards in this broken game. While he was thinking about it, Old John used his chopsticks to poke the braised pork on the plate too hard. Lifted the rice.

I didn't get any stains on myself, so I gave Jiang Qi's hair a Braised Pork Bibimbap Spa.

Jiang Qi:......

Forget it, I'll think about these things later. The first priority is to teach Old John how to use chopsticks.

.

There was still no business in the store for the next few days, and Liu Lan had long been used to it. After the rehearsal was successfully completed, she sat at the front desk every day and watched Ben Moyu play with his mobile phone.

Jiang Qi has read two more books in the past few days. He did not experience any auditory or visual hallucinations, did not enter the world in the book, and did not obtain new cards. This makes Jiang Qi even more certain that the only way to obtain cards is to read the script produced by the card game studio. He himself has no interest in reading the script, so he can only study how to quickly increase the star of Old John.

Old John still had no desires and desires. He went to work cleaning the house every day. After cleaning, he would sit on the sofa in the hall and read a book. Those books belonged to Cao Wenyang. When Cao Yongjun was clearing out the clutter at home, he originally wanted to take these books away, but Jiang Qi kept them on the pretext that he wanted to borrow them.

Jiang Qi could tell when he was looking at the house before that Old John chose the smallest room because of the books.

I don’t know what Cao Yongjun misunderstood, but Jiang Qi received a WeChat message from Cao Wenyang the night Old John moved upstairs - Cao Wenyang thought Jiang Qi wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination across majors, and gave him a list of books for him to read in order.

When Old John was reading, Jiang Qi and Liu Lan would occasionally take a look out of curiosity. In Liu Lan's words, he might not be able to understand every word, and even more so when they were connected together.

Jiang Qi was silent for a while, and Liu Lan shed tears after watching it. Only Old John watched attentively and occasionally took out a blank piece of paper to write down some experiences, which made Liu Lan begin to wonder what Old John taught.

Finally, just when Jiang Qi thought Liu Lan couldn't help but ask himself whether Old John was engaged in art or academics, Monday arrived.

The date of opening the book.

Liu Lan had said before that the person who made the appointment was a regular customer of the store, but she never said what kind of regular customer he was, and Jiang Qi didn't ask.

Jiang Qi was dumbfounded when this regular customer came into the store dressed like a young and lively girl carrying a pink cross-body bag, a plaid skirt, white leather shoes, and a big bow hairpin on her ponytail.

Not just a regular customer, but an acquaintance.

Jiang Wanwan is the daughter of Jiang Qi's uncle Jiang Xiaokang.

Jiang Wanwan is now a junior at the University of Finance and Economics in this city. She lives on campus from Monday to Friday and goes home on weekends. She has friends all over the world. When she was in high school, her biggest hobby was to watch bad boys fighting in the alley behind the school. Once while watching the fun, the dean mistook her for a student involved in a fight and caught her on the spot. It was Jiang Qi who went to the Academic Affairs Office to get her.

"Brother Jiang Qi!" Jiang Wanwan was even more shocked than Jiang Qi. "Aren't you preparing for the re-examination? My dad asked me not to disturb you. I have wanted to ask you to come out to write for a long time, but I never dared to call you."

Jiang Qi: "...it's been two months since I was dismissed from the re-examination."

"Where's Sister Bing?" Jiang Wanwan started to look for Jiang Bing. When she found out that Jiang Bing was gone, she looked at Jiang Qi's eyes. The tacit understanding between cousins ​​for many years allowed Jiang Wanwan to quickly understand Jiang Qi's hints.

Jiang Wanwan covered her face in pain: "No, Sister Bing's store is going to collapse again."

Jiang Qi didn't say that it might not go bankrupt. This kind of nonsense was impossible for Jiang Wanwan to believe. Jiang Wanwan always looked like this every time Jiang Qi took over Jiang Bing's store that was about to close down.

When milk tea shops, fried chicken shops, skewers shops, snack shops, and convenience stores closed down before, Jiang Wanwan was heartbroken.

She ate a lot of milk tea, fried chicken skewers, spicy chips, potato chips, and ice cream.

"If Sister Bing's store collapses, where can I get a free copy?" Jiang Wanwan put on a mask of pain as Jiang Qi expected.

Just when Jiang Wanwan looked sad, Liu Lan came back with milk tea: "Wanwan, you came so early today."

"Lanlan, why didn't you tell me before that Wanwan was the one writing the book today?" Jiang Qi asked.

Liu Lan patted his head, revealing the doubts of a young amnesiac: "Ah, didn't I tell you?"

"I always thought I said that."

Jiang Qi:......

.

Today Jiang Wanwan brought her college classmates to book a book together. The other five people came to the store for the first time. After a few people went upstairs, Jiang Qi clicked on the system panel to check the store details and found that the popularity and satisfaction were still the same. If it is 0, the task is not completed.

It seems that Jiang Wanwan's love for this store is fake.

She just loves free sex and doesn't like this shop at all.

But it shouldn't be.

Jiang Qi sat at the front desk with his head propped up and thinking. Based on his understanding of Jiang Wanwan, it was impossible for this girl to be dissatisfied. As long as it was free, she was satisfied and liked it very much.

When Jiang Qi took over the milk tea shop on his first day, he made the matcha milk tea so bad that it could kill people. Because it didn't cost money, Jiang Wanwan was able to say that it was okay and insisted on drinking it.

"Could it be that...the game's definition of love is different from what I understand?" Jiang Qi murmured, lost in thought.

After thinking to no avail, Jiang Qi started playing with his mobile phone and waited for Liu Lan to send a message asking them to perform.

While waiting, Jiang Qi was concerned about whether his second-generation roommate Yu Fang was beaten to death by his biological father, and made some statistics. Wang Zhuo and Zhan Ren, who had taken the postgraduate entrance examination, cursed Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu several times a day in the dormitory group, and inspected the circle. I was checking out what my friends had for dinner in the Moments, and just when I was about to post in the Moments, the news about Liu Lan came.

Jiang Qi stood up and waved to Old John: "Performed."

Old John put down his book and went up with Jiang Qi.

The entire room is pitch black, and the curtain has a very good light-blocking effect. Even if the door is not closed tightly, it is impossible for the light from outside to shine through the curtain. Jiang Qi took advantage of the light outside the door to quickly arrange the tables, chairs and bags, closed the door and crouched in the corner.

Liu Lan stood in another corner and asked in a female voice: "John, do you still remember your father?"

Jiang Qi crouched in the corner without moving, the BGM automatically played, and when the circular lights turned on, Old John's shadow fell on the curtain, like a memory in a silent movie.

"Wow." Jiang Qi heard a girl inside exclaim in low voice. He lowered his voice and said to his companion, "Wanwan, your sister's performance is so high-end."

Old John and Liu Lan continued their performance, but no more sounds came from inside.

It is very quiet. A quiet dark environment makes it easier for people to focus on the only light.

The performance is performed in segments. In addition to a short gap between each scene to change characters and props, Liu Lan will go out to join the performance after each character's memory segment and distribute the cards that have not been completed to the corresponding players. Allowing players to read with candle lights in a dark environment makes it easier to be immersed in the atmosphere.

After John's recollection ended, Jiang Qi squatted in the corner and waited for the show to end.

Suddenly, Jiang Qi heard a very quiet sob.

The presence or absence of something in the darkness becomes increasingly clear.

Jiang Qi immediately became energetic.

Someone cried? !
