Chapter 328

After throwing the message in the bottle into the sea of dreams, Tang Yu'an remembered something else.

"Can the store level be upgraded to a higher level, meaning it's more beautiful?" he asked the system.

【Upgrade conditions met】

Tang Yu'an opened the store panel to check the situation of each branch.

Now the level of the branches has been upgraded to level 3, with a total of 6 stores, namely Huangcheng Home, Weisuo Grocery Store, Linhai Grocery Store No. 1, Lanhu Grocery Store, Yanlong Grocery Store and Qingmu Grocery Store No. 1.

The remaining three grocery stores, Zitian, Chifeng and Grassland Ranch, have met the upgrade conditions, and all they need is enough magical furniture.

Tang Yu'an decided to upgrade these three grocery stores first, and then upgrade in the direction of "bigger is more beautiful", otherwise the difficulty of upgrading will increase again.

"Mom, let's go to the grassland."

Although it is seven or eight o'clock in the evening in the original world, it is already five or six in the morning in the wasteland world, and the sun will soon come out.

Tang Xueyun brought her daughter and followed Tang Yu'an to the grassland ranch.

"Mom, I also raised a group of wolves here. I will take you and Xinxin to see them later!" Tang Yu'an said to her while upgrading the ranch branch.

"Raised, raised a pack of wolves?"

Tang Xueyun's eyes widened. "Why do you raise wolves?"

"Let them help me herd sheep." Tang Yu'an said, "They herd sheep very well."

Is it really appropriate to let a pack of wolves herd sheep?

Tang Xueyun was full of questions, but she didn't say much. It was not until Tang Yu'an upgraded the branch to level 3 that she went to the sheep pen with him.

The ranch was well managed by Old Li, and people from several surrounding grassland tribes had been absorbed into it, including the tribe where employee Lao Ping belonged - the tribe that Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi first encountered.

They continued to expand the scope of the pasture and kept the number of cattle and sheep within a reasonable range so that they could have enough food without excessively damaging the grassland vegetation.

The ranch is also planted with mutant grass, which grows very fast.

After a piece of land is eaten clean, as long as there is enough water and light, it will grow back in less than a week. The people do not need to migrate on a large scale and can settle down here.

The road from Jufeng Mountain to here is also under construction and is halfway completed. When it is open to traffic, the connection between the ranch and home will be closer.

"We plan to build another railway here in the future," Tang Yu'an said. "Railway transportation is more efficient than road transportation."

Tang Xueyun listened to her son's story and couldn't help asking, "Where does the train come from?"

“You can buy it at the wholesale market.”

Tang Xueyun then remembered that the wholesale market even sold airplanes, so it was normal to buy trains... Normal as hell! Which wholesale market sold trains and airplanes?

"Wow, so many dogs!" Tang Yuxin said excitedly.

"Xinxin, they are wolves."

Soon, the Black Wolf King rushed over with his pack of wolves.

The originally skinny and ferocious wild wolves were raised to be strong and sturdy, with shiny fur. They surrounded Tang Yu'an and the other two, sticking out their tongues and wagging their tails, without any of the coldness and ferocity of wild wolves.

Tang Yuxin hugged the deputy leader wolf and buried her face in its furry chest. She said happily, "Brother, this is obviously a cute big dog!"

Tang Yu'an: "..."

Well, dogs evolved from wolves, so there is no need to make such a clear distinction.

Only the Black Wolf King and his wife were relatively reserved, squatting not far away and watching this side. However, when Tang Yu'an walked towards them, the two giant wolves suddenly revealed their true colors.

Tang Xueyun was still afraid of the wolves and stood aside cautiously, ready to protect Tang Yuxin at any time.

However, when she saw her son playing harmoniously with two wolf leaders that were obviously much larger in size, she was a little frightened, but at the same time, she couldn't help but have a real feeling that "her son has really grown up."

"Mom, let's go to Red Bee Town."

After playing with the wolves for a while, it was already dawn. Tang Yu'an remembered his business and took his mother and sister back to the cabin.

Chifeng Town is not far from Lanhu Town. A mutant bee called "Chifeng" is raised here. The employees stationed here are Big Beard and the three siblings of the Mao family.

Originally, the relationship with Lanhu Town was very bad and conflicts often occurred. However, since the construction of Chifeng Grocery Store, the people of Chifeng Town have been able to secure supplies and rarely go out.

There are fewer external conflicts, but more internal ones.

The people of Chifeng Town make beekeeping their main business, and honey is also the commodity they trade with the Chifeng Grocery Store, but there are too many people in the town who are not doing their jobs properly.

Because of the protective barrier, they were unable to enter the Red Bee Grocery Store, so they turned to robbing the people in the town.

Ordinary townspeople were unable to resist and could only swallow their anger.

The bearded man saw it all, but at first he did nothing. He just asked for help in the forum and made plans secretly.

It was not until the store level was upgraded to lv2 and the number of overnight accommodations increased to more than 10,000, and with the guidance of Datu, he learned the "expansion method" of the protective barrier, that he began to take action.

He began to use the Chifeng Grocery Store as the center and asked the surrounding residents to make offerings to the Shangshen Cult in exchange for protection.

Because the robbers were getting more and more violent, the townspeople were troubled by them. At the same time, they also saw how powerful the "protection of the God of Commerce" was, so they completed the registration with the bearded man without saying a word.

Once someone takes the lead, the rest becomes easy.

More and more townspeople donated their houses and land to the Shangshen Cult, and by the time the bullies reacted and wanted to steal the houses, it was too late.

The place where they lived was originally surrounded by ordinary residents. When the townspeople donated their houses and land, the bullies found it difficult to move around in Chifeng Town.

There was no other way, they had to leave Chifeng Town.

Because Lanhu Town has achieved full coverage of the protective barrier, the number of guards has been reduced a lot, and they have all been engaged in other production activities. In the eyes of the bullies, this means that the defense of Lanhu Town has been relaxed.

So they decided to go to Lanhu Town and do something big.

Little did they know that the bearded man had already informed Lan Yunqing about this.

Actually, he and Lan Yunqing got to know each other because of Chi Hao.

Chi Hao has never passed the test on ideology and morality, and as an outstanding graduate of Store No. 6, Big Beard becomes the person Chi Hao consults.

The two became familiar with each other after a few interactions and often chatted on public channels.

After all, Big Beard grew up in a small town and his experience was far less than Chi Hao's. He inadvertently revealed some information during the conversation, which was then captured by Lan Yunqing.

Lan Yunqing easily guessed that he was from Chifeng Town. Originally, because of the past grudges, he didn't want to bother with him, but after visiting the deserted city home, his horizons suddenly broadened.

After returning to Lanhu Town, he sent people out to investigate the situation around Lanhu Lin, and Chifeng Town was naturally among them.

After research, he found that Chifeng Town’s current development model is actually very suitable for cooperation with Lanhu Town.

So he took the initiative to find the bearded man.

Big Beard never expected that the lord of Lanhu Town was actually also in the Shangshen Sect!

He had previously thought of having the Mao brothers and sisters disguise themselves as refugees and go to Lanhu Town. Naturally, they had no ill feelings towards the Lanhu people, so the two of them started to cooperate smoothly.

When the group of bullies attacked Lan Hulin, Lan Yunqing, who had been prepared, transferred the guards to the battlefield. On the other side of Chifeng Town, Big Beard also led the ordinary townspeople to come over and kill the group of bullies together with their common hatred of the enemy.

Thus, the decades-long feud between Lanhu Town and Chifeng Town finally had an opportunity to be resolved.

Now the road between the two settlements is also under construction. Once people really start to flow around and time has passed, perhaps the two sides will be able to put aside their hatred and start trade.

Tang Yu'an and the other two appeared on the teleportation array in the basement.

He first took out the magical furniture and planned to upgrade it, but found that the upgrade conditions were not met.

He asked the system with some doubt.

[Host, these magical furniture have already been used]

Tang Yu'an understood what it meant.

These magical furniture were indeed what he had used when he upgraded the ranch grocery store just now. In other words, the bug had been fixed?

Tang Yu'an curled his lips in displeasure.

But then he thought again and realized that the store they had upgraded by using this bug had not been relegated to a lower level, so he became happy again.

It doesn’t matter, he has a lot of magical furniture now, he can just change to another set.

So he replaced the magical furniture, continued to upgrade the Red Bee Grocery Store, and increased the number of overnight accommodation spots to 110,000.

"Mom, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Tang Xueyun hesitated for a moment and nodded.

This is the way An An and Xiao Qi came, and she wants to go and take a look.

So, Tang Yu'an put on Yaori's outfit, then took out an umbrella and let Tang Xueyun and Tang Yuxin hide under the umbrella.

Then they left the basement together and walked out of the Red Bee Grocery Store.

The bearded men were busy doing business with the townspeople, but when Yaori's figure appeared, they immediately noticed him.

"Sir! Lord Yaori!"

The bearded man was only slightly stunned, then he recognized him, and quickly left the customers and rushed over with the three siblings of the Mao family.

They prostrated themselves on the ground and expressed their gratitude to the Sun.

If this envoy of God had not helped them when he passed by, Chifeng Town would not be what it is today.

Therefore, their gratitude to Shangshen Sect and Yaori is absolutely sincere.

Tang Xueyun and her daughter were frightened by the scene.

However, Tang Yu'an, who was standing in front of them, was extremely calm.

"Everyone, get up." A middle-aged voice with a rather majestic tone sounded.

Tang Xueyun looked at "Yao Ri"'s back. If she hadn't seen Tang Yu'an wearing this outfit with her own eyes, she would never have recognized that this was her son.

Even though she knew, she was still a little dazed.

Under their gaze, Youri calmly dealt with the group of strangers in front of him, and his words and behavior showed the style of a leader.

"Let me inspect your work." said Youri.

The bearded man suddenly became a little flustered.

"The grocery store's performance, expansion, and cooperation with Lanhu Town are all going well, but..."

Yori's gaze fell on the townspeople.

"The sanitation and living environment are terrible," he said. "Red Bee Town will be renamed Red Bee Home. You can ask Changqing on the forum about the home's construction standards."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely make improvements!" The bearded man replied with trepidation.

"The Shangshen Sect will also take some compulsory measures, and you will know when the time comes." This naturally refers to the overnight stay rules.

"Now, let's start with the renovation of the Red Bee Grocery Store."

Yori stood before the crowd, looked up at the sky and said, "Great God of Commerce, please baptize your believers and keep them away from disease and disaster."

After he finished speaking, light appeared on his hand, and then the purification spell and light healing spell rose into the air at the same time, covering an area with a diameter of thirty meters.

This is the limit of what Tang Yu'an can do at the moment.

When the light dissipated, all the people and objects covered by the light became clean, and those who were injured and had not yet fully recovered also recovered directly.

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

The townspeople prostrated themselves on the ground.

After Tang Yu'an said two more words, he went under the shadow umbrella and performed the disappearance on the spot performance again.

He had wanted to take his mother and sister to see the red wasp, but after noticing the excrement everywhere on the street outside, he lost interest.

"Let's go to Zitian Castle."

After Tang Yu'an finished speaking, he saw Tang Xueyun and her daughter looking at him with strange eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Uncle, who are you? Where is my brother?" Tang Yuxin asked.

Tang Yu'an quickly took off the mask and said, "I am your brother!"

Tang Yuxin looked at him suspiciously, and after a long while she finally confirmed that this was indeed her brother.

"Xinxin, you still need to study more." Tang Yu'an touched the little girl's head with some concern.

She had seen the whole process of his disguise, so how could she still admit her mistake?

Tang Xueyun couldn't help but roll her eyes. Of course she understood the implication of her son's words, but his acting was too good!

Although she is a middle-aged character, she is not embarrassed at all when she said those second-year lines just now! Tang Xueyun can't help but tap her toes when she thinks about her experience as the "Superwoman".

"Let's go, let's go to our next destination."

Soon, they arrived at the basement of Zitian Grocery Store.

While Tang Yu'an was upgrading, he explained the situation of Zitian Castle to them.

Perhaps because it is facing a crisis of life and death, the development speed of Zitian Grocery Store is astonishing.

Both the popularity and floor space of the store far exceed the level requirements of a branch store at level 3. As long as there are enough magical furniture, it may be possible to upgrade directly to level 4.

However, Tang Yu'an did not intend to do so. He did not own many high-end furniture, and the development priority of Zi Tian Grocery Store was relatively low.

The land here has been infiltrated by chlorine, and even the protective barrier cannot eliminate these toxins, so it is not suitable for long-term residence. Sooner or later, the residents of Zitian Castle will have to move to land.

However, because he did not have the protection of Wu Yue's mark, Zhan Xiaotian did not dare to go out to sea rashly, so he only returned once and brought back 20,000 immigrants.

These immigrants have been settled in the villages of Linhai Town and are considered to have settled down, so the immigration work can continue.

Thinking of this, Tang Yu'an took out the last seven-day sale refresh card.

【……】

Looking at the message panel that popped up on the system, he chuckled and said, "I also want a few vending machines."

In this way, one can be placed in the Zitian Grocery Store, and the teleportation array can be officially opened to the public, allowing the immigration work of Zitian Castle to proceed more smoothly.

[The refresh rules for the seven-day sale products are random and cannot be specified]

Tang Yu'an shrugged and directly used the seven-day sale refresh card.

[Seven-day sale (remaining refresh time: 23 hours)]

1. Purple Sun Protection Jacket (3/3): 158,888 points/item

2. Green Boat (1/1): 158,888 points/unit

3. Gray-blue air purifier (2/2): 88,888 points/unit

4. Vending Machine (2/2): 188,888 points/unit

5. Adaptive variable temperature air conditioning: ...

6. Green light strip: ...

"Hahaha, it's out! And there's the magical furniture I need!" Tang Yu'an laughed happily, "System, you still love me!"

The system almost crashed.

What are you talking about? What are you talking about?! It's like it's helping me cheat!

[Self-test has been started, please wait patiently for the results! ]

Tang Yu'an didn't care about it. The system was constantly checking itself, and he was used to it.

He asked Tang Xueyun and Tang Yuxin if they wanted to go out for a walk. After hearing that Zitian Castle was corroded by poisonous gas, Tang Xueyun became reluctant to go out.

Looking at the isolated island on the map, she had a clearer understanding of the hardships of this wasteland world, and she also understood how difficult it was for An An and Xiao Qi to make this career.

She shook her head and said, "Let's go back."

"OK."

Tang Yu'an took them back to the main store of Ping'an Grocery Store and took out the space stones he had accumulated before to upgrade the new vending machine.

Then, we began to improve the main store's level in the direction of "big is beautiful".

[Do you want to deduct 2,000,000 points and upgrade the main store, "Ping An Grocery Store," to (Big is Beautiful!) Level 3?]

2 million points, Tang Yu'an chose "yes" without blinking.

Congratulations! The main store, Heian General Store, has been upgraded to level 4 (Big is Beautiful!)

[The number of people on the overnight stay list has increased by 1,000,000. The current maximum number of customers each store can accommodate is: 1,121,120]

[The main store can recruit +7 employees, and the branch store can recruit +5 employees]

[Dream Message in a Bottle +1, the capacity of the Message in a Bottle increases to 5 times the original amount, currently has a total of 9 Messages in a Bottle]

[RV upgrade, currently you can choose to increase it to 5 times the original size]

The number of overnight accommodation places has increased to 1.12 million!

Looking at this result, Tang Yu'an's eyes lit up.

He cheered, shared the good news with Zhou Qi, and then went to Aoki Grocery Store No. 1.

Compared with Zi Tian Grocery Store, the performance of this branch is not much worse. Once he takes out the high-level magical furniture, the conditions for upgrading will be met.

Ping An Grocery Store No. 23 has been successfully upgraded!

With the addition of Aoki Grocery Store No. 2, the number of overnight accommodation spots in this refugee camp has increased to over 1.13 million!

This number should be sufficient for a long time to come.

And the owner of Ping An Grocery Store can finally leave here!

Tang Yu'an returned to the aircraft and assigned new tasks to Xie Chaori, Hong Li and Chi Hao respectively, and revealed the information of his departure in the tasks as a greeting.

Then he started the aircraft and left the sky above Aoki Grocery Store.

Of course, he did not fly towards the space crack above Qingmu Castle, but chose a direction at random and left into the distance.

Tang Yuxin had fallen asleep. Although it was still daytime, she was physically exhausted and dozed off. Tang Xueyun then took her to the attic to sleep.

When she came out, she saw that the scenery outside had changed.

She sat quietly in the passenger seat, quietly looking at her son, who was still a child in her eyes, and watched him handle various affairs with ease, feeling filled with emotion.

After completely leaving the range of Qingmu Fort, Tang Yu'an found a plain to stop the aircraft, and then drove the RV out.

He tried switching the RV into airplane mode.

A brand new, sci-fi spaceship appeared in front of him and Tang Xueyun!

Yes, it's a spaceship!

Compared to it, the aircraft is nothing but a dwarf. They are completely incomparable in size.

Tang Yu'an couldn't wait to get into the spaceship. It was simply an air fortress. Not only was it large in size, but its internal functional areas were also much richer than those of an aircraft.

Of course, the facilities were still very simple and he had to do the renovations himself.

Tang Yu'an immediately moved the teleportation array to a room and designated other areas as restricted areas, allowing only him and his family to use them.

In this way, people traveling back and forth from the original world to the wasteland plane don’t have to worry about them wandering around.

He took Tang Xueyun on a tour of the spaceship. Just when Tang Xueyun thought his "work" could finally come to an end and she could have a good rest, she heard him say, "The next target is the Ice Flame Castle!"

"There's somewhere else to go?" Tang Xueyun was shocked.

How many places had they visited that day? Although the teleportation array was very fast, she still felt a little overwhelmed.

"Yeah, Ice Flame Castle hasn't...huh?"

Tang Yu'an took a look at the assessment channel and found that Wen Qingqing had actually completed the ideological and moral test and successfully passed Lao Mo's assessment!

This way, she can build a branch.

Tang Yu'an opened the map of Ice Flame Castle and found that Wen Qingqing was not at home, but had gone to a more central location in Ice Flame Castle.

Is this choosing a location for setting up a store?

However, wouldn't it be better to build a shop on the edge? After all, the land in the fortress is owned by someone, and it would be difficult to expand the protective barrier in the center...

Ice Flame Castle.

Wen Qingqing sat on the chair, her hands clenched into fists somewhat nervously.

Sitting in front of her was the highest leader of Ice Flame Castle and a staunch supporter of seeking a new place to live.

The negotiations they were conducting today concerned the future of hundreds of thousands of people in Ice Flame Castle.

Wen Qingqing said in disbelief, "Are you really going to donate all the land in Bingyan Castle to the Shangshen Cult?"
