Start with the script killing shop

"Congratulations to player Jiang Qi for getting [Character Card] x 1, please check it in the card pack."

After leaving his memory, Jiang Qi had only one thought in his mind.

A thought exactly the same as the last time I watched Toy Story.

You call this a happy book?

joy? !

Is this damn script mall misunderstanding the word joy? Jiang Qi has bought so many joy books. Except for "MasterChef Competition", he has never seen joy in any joy books.

Oh, yes, there is no word joy in the category of "MasterChef Competition" in the script mall. Its category label is food.

Wiping the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, Jiang Qi continued to read through the character book of Zhou Yuan in his hand.

The plot in the character book is basically the same as what Jiang Qi saw in the script world. The story ends when grandma realizes that she is actually a ghost and remembers everything that happened before. The last scene is the memory killing, which tells the story of everything grandma has done for the children and grandchildren of the Zhou family over the years, and every moment of getting along with them.

Excluding what Jiang Qi has seen in the world of scripts, "New Year's Eve Dinner" can be regarded as a good fun novel.

As for why it is good rather than excellent, it is mainly because the relationship between the characters in this book is too complicated. Obviously Jiang Qi only sees 15 people in the Zhou family in the script world, but there are a full 42 in this book. There is a lot of space to describe other people in both background introduction and game sessions.

The author of this book also likes to classify it by page. Basically, he only talks about 1 or 2 relatives on each page, and never talks about more. He would rather leave blank pages than print information about other relatives on the same page, so these character books are particularly thick.

Putting aside these small guarantees, this movie has laughter, tears, and twists. Even if it is not a big hit, it can still be a small hit. With the size of Galaxy Script Club’s 8 appointment groups (the 8 groups are now almost full and Orange is preparing to build a ninth one), getting back the money is definitely not a problem.

The only problem is that if this damn crap really requires 40 people per game, the store probably won’t have space to open it.

Based on his experience as a script-killing shop owner for half a year, Jiang Qi can estimate that the duration of this script will not be too long without looking at the host manual, which should be around 4 to 5 hours.

Since there were too many character books, Jiang Qi went straight to the host's manual after reading Zhou Yuan's character book.

Then when Jiang Qi opened the first page of the host's manual, he saw a part he had never seen before.

[Instructions for separate volumes]

This script is extremely complicated in character allocation. The host is asked to read the instructions in detail and assign the corresponding character script to the players according to their actual situation. Make sure there is no mistake in the assignment.

Explanation of distribution?

What is this new thing?

There was no need to open a book, and Jiang Qi, who had never opened a book before, read the instructions with great interest.

After reading the 27-page description of each book against the character book, Jiang Qi finally understood why the number of people in this book was? .

Really? .

Theoretically, "New Year's Eve Dinner" supports 40 players competing on the same stage.

But this is only theoretical, because 40 players compete on the same stage, which tests the store venue, DM level and DM eardrum. Not only Jiang Qi thinks it can't be done, but the host manual also thinks it can't be done.

According to the host manual, the suitable number of people for "New Year's Eve Dinner" is 3 to 20 people, and the recommended number of people is 9 to 15 people.

And how is this character fluctuation achieved?

Open the book.

Although this book is a special low-priced New Year's Eve book with no discount of NT$9,999, these characters are not used to clamp the character book with a drawbar to save costs.

The character book is clipped instead of bound, so that the book can be opened.

Just now when Jiang Qi was reading the book, he discovered that the author seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. He only wrote 1 or 2 relatives on each page, and no more.

The reason for doing this is also to split the copy.

In this book, all things and plots related to relatives are separated by pages. Even if two relatives are written on one page, it is because the two relatives are bound and must appear together.

The host can remove unnecessary pages from the character book according to the number of players and the situation, and refer to the book splitting method in the book division instructions.

As for the specific details of page splitting, the instructions for each script list all the combinations that can be given in the script according to the number of people, and how to split the pages for the corresponding combinations.

The 27-page manual is a split-page manual. The host only needs to determine the number of players, then tell the players the combinations corresponding to the number of players, let the players choose the combination, and then split the pages according to the host manual.

It’s not a lot of work, but it’s flexible. After all, normal script killing has a limit on the number of people, and one more person or one less person is not enough.

"New Year's Eve Dinner" has no such restrictions. It can be a group of three, the characters are capable enough, and conditions permit, you can drive several cars at the same time. It can be said to be the king of cost-effectiveness.

As for the overall story of "New Year's Eve Dinner", Jiang Qi understood it after reading the entire host manual.

Overall, this is a very heartwarming story.

Feng Guihua, the grandmother of the Zhou family, died of lung cancer two months before the Chinese New Year at the age of 81.

Feng Guihua was already in the advanced stage when she was diagnosed with lung cancer, and as she was over 80, she was not suitable for chemotherapy. The hospital recommended conservative treatment to reduce the patient's pain as much as possible and allow her to spend her last days in peace. Although the Zhou family is sad, they are determined by life and death, and forced treatment will only increase the pain of the elderly. Therefore, everyone can only endure their grief and take Feng Guihua home for conservative treatment until her death.

After Feng Guihua passed away, strange things happened in the family.

Before Feng Guihua's death, she and Mr. Zhou preferred to live in the countryside because they were not used to living in the city, so their children did not pick them up. The son and daughter who lived nearby would come back to visit the old couple on weekends.

After Feng Guihua died, the eldest son wanted to take Mr. Zhou to the city to live and take care of him. However, on the day when the eldest son returned to the countryside to help the old man pack his luggage, he saw a very strange scene.

Cook your own meals with pots, pans and food in the kitchen.

Not only can I cook for myself, but the food I cook is also very delicious and tastes just like my mother’s cooking.

The eldest son was almost not frightened to death by this supernatural event, so he quickly invited a Taoist priest to come to the house to chase ghosts.

Yes, this world is another parallel present with supernatural colors.

But this time, it was not evil cultivators who appeared, but serious monks, that is, Taoist priests.

It can only be said that in the world of script killing, it is difficult to get out without a bit of supernatural color.

The Taoist priest hired by the eldest son was quite good. After checking, he concluded that it was not haunted, but that Feng Guihua's soul left her body after her death and thought she was not dead. The ghost floated back to live a normal life.

According to Taoist priests, although this situation is relatively rare, it is not unheard of. Under normal circumstances, this phenomenon of dying but forgetting that one is dead is because the deceased still has an unfulfilled wish and does not want to be reincarnated. When the wish is fulfilled, the time is up, or he realizes that he is a ghost, he will take the initiative to reincarnate.

This kind of ghost can stay in the human world for up to a year, so don't worry, just let nature take its course.

The Taoist priest also said that even if the wish is gone and the time has not passed, ghosts and normal people will always be different. Normal people can't hear what they say, and ghosts can't eat. However, ghosts usually treat things like eating as bugs and fix them accordingly.

If the Zhou family is really scared, they will shout loudly at home for a few days to tell the old lady that she is dead. When the old lady slowly comes to her senses, she will be reincarnated.

What the Taoist priest didn't expect was that the Zhou family would use his advice in the opposite direction. Not only did the Zhou family not remind the old lady that she was dead, they also pretended that the old lady was not dead and lived a normal life, cooperating with the old lady in acting, just to keep the old lady around for a while.

Since the Taoist priests said that the old lady can stay in the human world for at most one year, the Zhou family made up a story together to let the old lady know that everyone is living a good life and can rest assured to reincarnate in order to spend the last year with the old lady. The lies about being successful, living a happy life, being promoted, getting a salary, and making a lot of money are all lied about during the Chinese New Year.

And then there is the story.

Although this story is wrapped in a happy and ruthless skin, it has a happy and warm core.

According to the host manual, this book requires two NPCs, one is Mr. Zhou and the other is Feng Guihua. At the end of the game, Feng Guihua must bring a plate of eight-treasure rice to all players to share. Stores with conditions can serve each player. One bowl, stores with better conditions can make it themselves.

After reading the host manual, Jiang Qi clicked on the system panel.

Although he thinks that there is a high probability that he will draw the character Kavon Osmanthus this time, but considering the unreliability of this damn card game, it is not impossible to draw the eldest aunt's fake gold bracelet and the second uncle's daughter's inferior crystal necklace. .

Because Jiang Qi was still a little nervous when he opened the card pack.

There is a new card lying in the card pack.

[Character Card: Feng Guihua] (can be summoned)

Star rating: ★

Skill: Eight-treasure rice (Feng Guihua’s secret eight-treasure rice is the most indispensable thing for the Zhou family during the Chinese New Year. The eight-treasure rice may not be the most delicious, but it must be the most homely and New Year’s flavor)

True character (everyone is very good at playing themselves)

Card details: One of the most beloved elders of the Zhou family, the well-deserved pillar of the Zhou family. He has personally raised two generations of the Zhou family over the years. The dishes he makes always have the taste of home. He loves children, is enthusiastic and kind, loves to join in the fun, and is hardworking and simple. , tough and capable, with low material desires.

(Friendly reminder: Only three cards can be placed in each type of card slot. Players are advised to choose carefully and work hard to upgrade the cards.)

There are a lot of words of praise in the card details, which shows that Feng Guihua is indeed as written in the book. She is a standard hard-working and simple working woman, but she likes to join in the fun.

Jiang Qi remembered some of the memories. Feng Guihua didn't have any special hobbies on weekdays. She just liked to listen to other people's gossip, watch others quarrel and watch other people fight. Feng Guihua always rushed to watch when someone quarreled in the village or town.

Well, Feng Guihua would probably like to watch players play the game, which is all about quarreling. The kind of players who are particularly devoted and noisy can make their voices grow louder after playing the game. As a result, Jiang Qi will thoughtfully give out two packs of golden throat treasures to the guests who play the game.

Jiang Qi looked at the time, 3:45 pm.

He entered the room around 12 noon, four hours had passed. The Jiang family's New Year's Eve dinner usually starts at 8pm on time together with the Spring Festival Gala. By this time, everyone should be lying on the sofa with their chests pressed against their backs from hunger, smelling the aroma from the kitchen, and looking for candies in the fruit bowl or fruits that don't fill their stomachs.

At this time, I went home, summoned Feng Guihua, and took her to meet her colleagues to celebrate the New Year. She had plenty of time.

It's just that the accommodation problem is a bit difficult to solve.

It's not that Feng Guihua can't live with Huang Fugui and the others. The house of Cao Yongjun's house is exactly the same as that of Jiang Qi's house, with four bedrooms and two living rooms. But since his family only has one son, Cao Wenyang, they only built three bedrooms. The smallest room was originally a piano room. Later, after the piano was sold, it became a utility room for storing sundries. Now it is empty. .

It’s hard to buy a bed during the Chinese New Year.

Wang Xinghua nominally lives with Wang Erya, but she is a pure ghost and has no ability to sleep. She does not sleep at all. She either works part-time or plays in the living room at night.

The fourth room has not been tidied up yet.

Jiang Qi was a little hesitant.

How about summoning Feng Guihua out in two days and solving the bed problem first?

Now that his parents are at home, he can't let Feng Guihua live in the guest room at home because the newly recruited employee has not found a place to live.

Who comes to work on New Year’s Eve? The store isn’t even open yet!

But in two days, New Year’s Eve will be over...

Jiang Qi was confused.

In the end, Jiang Qi chose to call and ask Huang Fugui if the empty room upstairs could be cleared out to make a temporary floor. Sheets, quilt covers, quilts, blankets, pillows, etc. are all available upstairs. Jiang Qi bought several sets for easy replacement.

Huang Fugui said there was no problem and the floor covering could be built in minutes. He also enthusiastically asked Jiang Qi if they were going to have a new colleague. He happened to be preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. If a new colleague was coming, he would increase the portion of the dish.

Jiang Qi's reply was correct, he was getting a new colleague, and she was an old lady.

Then Jiang Qi packed up the box and walked to the living room.

The situation in the living room was as he expected. Jiang Wanwan, Jiang Bing, Jiang Pei and Wen Luo were all half-slumped on the sofa watching TV. The trash can was at their feet. It was filled with melon seed shells. Jiang Wanwan was not only eating melon seeds and eating candies. Oranges, the coffee table is covered with orange peels.

"You eat so many sugar oranges, will you be able to eat at night?" Jiang Qi asked, looking at the shocking amount of orange peels on the coffee table.

"I'm not the only one eating. Sister Bing also ate a lot." Jiang Wanwan said, "Brother Jiang Qi finally finished reading the book. Do you want to play mahjong? We are three short of one, and Wen Luo doesn't know how to play."

"I'm going out for a while, and I'll come back later to fight." Jiang Qi said.

"Brother, you have to go out. You just happened to buy two packs of melon seeds for us. We have finished eating them," Jiang Bing said quickly.

"I want caramel flavor!" Wen Luo quickly raised his hand.

"Original flavor." Jiang Pei said.

"Talk about the plum flavor." This is Jiang Wanwan.

"...You have quite different tastes." Jiang Qi silently wrote down, "Then I will go to the supermarket to buy it for you when I come back."

"Hey, is anyone going to buy something?" The eldest aunt popped her head out of the kitchen when she heard the sound. "Who wants to buy something? Buy two bottles of drinks. Blueberry juice, mango juice, and coconut milk are all fine."

"Okay." Jiang Qi took over the burden of shopping and left.

Because he was going to the supermarket to buy things, Jiang Qi thought of summoning Feng Guihua at the gate of the community so that he could take her directly to the supermarket to buy daily necessities such as towels, toothbrushes, and pajamas. There is a relatively large department store near Jiang Wanwan's home, which sells everything but a small number of styles.

Jiang Qi walked to the gate of the community. There were not many people on the New Year's Eve road. If he looked around, he could find a corner where no one was monitoring him.

Click on the card pack, select the card, and click to summon.

"Ding, congratulations to player Jiang Qi for summoning the one-star character card [Feng Guihua]. The character has appeared nearby, please find it by yourself."

There was no need to look for it, Feng Guihua appeared at the flower bed not far away, dressed very festively, and the red cotton-padded jacket was very suitable for the New Year.

Jiang Qi walked towards Feng Guihua.

There is no difference between Feng Guihua and what Jiang Qi saw in his memory. She has gray hair, is thin and small, but looks very tough. She has a smile on her face and looks very kind. She is a standard kind old lady.

"Boss Jiang." Feng Guihua looked at Jiang Qi and said with a smile.

Jiang Qi was surprised.

So every time he draws a new toy spirit or gets a new employee, he will ask the other person to call him Boss Jiang, but Feng Guihua is the first person to call him Boss Jiang when she meets him.

"Grandma Feng." Jiang Qi said, "Can I call you that? You should know the specific situation better, right?"

"It's clear." Feng Guihua said, "I was originally going to be reincarnated, but now you have taken it out as a card, and I will live with my memory for a while. I have to rely on you to support me during this time, sorry to trouble you."

"If there is anything I can do, just leave it to me. Although I can't remember some things right now, I can still do the daily tasks of farming, changing clothes, knitting sweaters, washing, cooking and cleaning."

It can be said that he has a very working spirit.

"You don't have to rush to work first." The enthusiasm of the employees made Jiang Qi, the black-hearted boss, a little at a loss. "Today is New Year's Eve. I will take you to the supermarket to buy some necessary daily necessities first, and then I will take you to meet Mr. Colleagues. Some of them have already received three stars. They will tell you the specific situation. It may be difficult to solve the problem now, so you need to lay the floor first."

"It's okay." Feng Guihua followed Jiang Qi to the supermarket, "It doesn't matter if you sleep on the floor, as long as you don't sleep on the street."

It can be seen that Feng Guihua's material pursuit is still a little better than that of Old John.

On the way to the supermarket, Jiang Qi briefly introduced his current situation and Feng Guihua's future job to Feng Guihua.

Jiang Qi has already thought about how Feng Guihua will appear in front of everyone: the new cleaning aunt of the script shop.

At one time, John Sr. was basically the only janitor in the store.

But as the store grows bigger and bigger, the burden on Old John becomes heavier and heavier. Now Old John no longer does cleaning work, and has become a full-time DM and the person responsible for the reasoning book in the store. .

Although Old John also cleans the house on a regular basis, when he is busy, other part-time employees are responsible for the sanitation of the store full-time. After all, it’s not easy to clean now that there are two stores.

Jiang Qi recruited an older woman who said she had nothing to do at home. It would be no problem for an old lady who lived nearby and wanted to find something to do to be a full-time cleaner.

Although Feng Guihua was 81 years old when she died, she looked no different from an old lady in her sixties, probably because she was a card character who was very energetic and energetic. She did not look old at all and her hair was only gray.

Jiang Qi finally discovered that these card characters all looked younger than their actual age.

"By the way, boss, I am a ghost after all. Can my colleagues accept my situation?" After hearing about her future job, Feng Guihua was a little worried about her future relationship with colleagues.

"It depends on which colleagues you are referring to." Jiang Qi said, "If it is the normal people in the store, you may have to pretend. By the way, can you float?"

"No." Feng Guihua shook her head. Her situation was similar to that of Wang Erya. They were both ghosts about to be reincarnated, but they didn't have the characteristics and skills of ghosts.

"Then just get along normally."

"As for your colleagues who came first with the card characters, the situation is actually very similar."

"Erya is a ghost from the Qing Dynasty. He has been to the underworld and waited in line for reincarnation for more than 20 years. If he goes back, he will have to wait for another 20 years to be reincarnated."

"Ah?!" Feng Guihua was shocked, "It's going to take so long?"

Jiang Qi:......

He didn't know why, but he felt it was a bit weird to talk about reincarnation on the street.

"Yeah, but you two live in different worlds, and maybe the queuing mechanism in the underworld is also different. For the specific situation in the underworld and the queuing situation, you can ask Erya in detail after you meet her."

"I don't know if Uncle Huang is a ghost at the moment. He is an ancient member of the Communist Party of China."

"Old John is an English ghost."

"Xinghua is considered a ghost of the Republic of China. Her era was similar to the Republic of China. She is not only a ghost but also a half-ghost king. She can control things, become invisible and float."

"And now Lili is also at home. Lili is a Gumantong. Except that she can't be invisible and eat, her other abilities are similar to Xinghua's."

Feng Guihua felt relieved after hearing that her colleagues were all in similar situations to her and that they had all kinds of ghosts.

"That's good. I was just worried about what I would do if my colleagues were all human and not used to getting along with ghosts like me. Now that I know that everyone has basically died, I feel relieved."

Jiang Qi:......
