Chapter 4

"Host, host, host, it's done, it's done." 009 was surprised by this sudden order. He was worried about the sales just now, but now he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Lin Gui collected the money, exchanged a few words with the little beagle's owner, and handed her two dog biscuits. All the while, she listened to the system's excited words in her head and reminded it, "So, is my novice mission complete?"

"Uh-huh."

[Congratulations to the host for completing the novice mission and gaining 10 experience points]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading! Current level: Level 1, 90 more points to the next level]

[Gain: 10 square meters retail store*1]

[Host, please name the store]

"Host, we now have a store, let's give it a name." 009 was very happy and couldn't wait to share it with Lin Gui.

"Let's go to the store after we sell it and then choose a name. Where is this store? Is it far away?"

"It's not far. The rewards provided by this system are all centered around the host. Judging from the map, it's between the host's residential complex and the park."

"How is this experience value calculated?"

"The experience points for the novice missions are quite generous. After that, you get one experience point for each sale, no matter how much you sell."

Lin Gui understood the upgrade rules of this business system. Looking at the snacks she made today, she found that she had worked all afternoon to make more than a hundred, and only earned 30 experience points after selling them all. It was not cost-effective, so she immediately took another piece of paper to modify the price. Now it became four yuan each, seven yuan for two, and ten yuan for three, giving customers a variety of choices.

Looking at Dahuang again, he had almost finished eating the biscuits. Lin Gui had given him five pieces at that time. Although he chewed them slowly, there were no more pieces left. She broke two more pieces for him and told him to eat slowly this time. He could not be fed dinner tonight.

The little beagle that had just stolen food had already finished the piece it had opened from the package. Seeing that its owner had two more pieces in his hand, it did not sneak into Lin Gui's stall this time, but instead acted coquettishly around its owner, hoping to get more food.

But its owner was obviously angry about its behavior just now. When he was teaching it a lesson, the little beagle couldn't get the food and was punished again. It suddenly became listless, lying on the ground whimpering, with its two big ears drooping.

Its owner obviously only responds to soft words and does not respond to harsh words. Seeing it looking so pitiful, he gave it a biscuit. The little beagle immediately became active after getting the biscuit. Before eating it, it first acted coquettishly towards its owner and only ate the opened snack after being touched by its owner.

Other people around witnessed this dramatic change. Some dog owners also came to Lin Gui's stall, looked at their furry children staring at the snacks in front of them with bright eyes, and asked Lin Gui about the ingredients. Those who thought there was no big problem would buy one or two for their children to try.

Those who were a little older paid more attention to details. Seeing that Lin Gui was young, they asked many details about the production process, such as whether gloves were worn and the hygiene conditions during the operation.

Fortunately, Lin Gui made the products according to the system standards, otherwise it would not meet their satisfaction. Even so, it was the older dog owners who gave Lin Gui the most experience. Most of them bought one and told Lin Gui while buying that they would go home and let their dogs try it to see if the dogs liked it before considering whether to become repeat customers.

Although the older generation has a background of frugality, it does not mean that they are stingy. They just sometimes pay more attention to details.

Just like that, one person bought one, and with the advent of the novelty, more and more people came to try it, and soon most of Lin Gui’s biscuits were sold out. Fortunately, Da Huang was not a food-guarding person, and he didn’t care about the whereabouts of these dog biscuits. He just savored the biscuits that Lin Gui handed to him from time to time.

It was getting dark. Lin Gui didn't bring a small lamp, and the current environment was no longer suitable for setting up a stall. Just when Lin Gui was about to pack up, a dog slowly approached Da Huang. It was a Labrador. Many Labradors are lively, but this dog was a bit quiet.

It stood not far from Dawang. Although it seemed that it was very interested in Dawang's dog biscuits, it was not very eager. Dawang suddenly picked up a small biscuit and ran to Labrador, as if to give it to it. The two dogs sniffed each other, and Labrador happily ate the biscuit.

After eating, he followed Dahuang to Lin Gui.

Lin Gui looked at the well-groomed Labrador with smooth and clean white fur and couldn't help but touch it. The Labrador also squinted its eyes and enjoyed Lin Gui's touch.

At this time, a sound of footsteps was heard slowly. The Labrador turned around to look for the footsteps. Lin Gui also looked at the owner of the footsteps. It was a very gentle and beautiful girl, wearing a beige knitted sweater and a brown long skirt. She was looking at the Labrador running towards her. It seemed that she was the owner of the Labrador.

The Labrador slowed down its pace as it approached her, and approached her gently. She squatted down to touch the Labrador, then stood up and made a friendly eye contact with Lin Gui.

He brought the Labrador to Lin Gui and saw the snacks on Lin Gui's stall that had not been put away yet. He also saw that the Labrador liked these snacks, so he gestured to buy them and took out his mobile phone to type and show them to Lin Gui.

“Hello, I want all the remaining dog snacks, thank you (> _ <)”

"Okay, I'll pack it for you. There aren't many left. I'll charge you 45 yuan."

After the young lady made her purchase, she left with the Labrador. 009 then said to Lin Gui in his mind, "This customer might not be able to talk, but the puppy is so well behaved. It can sense its owner's emotions."

Lin Gui noticed the voice problem of the young lady just now, but did not want to discuss other people's privacy in private, so he diverted 009's attention.

"We're sold out, let's go check out the store."

"Okay, okay, let's go, host, I will show you the way."

Following the direction given by the system, Lin Gui brought Da Huang to the door of the store. It turned out that the store was near the back door of the community, so it would be very convenient to go to the store in the future.

Looking at the closed door, Lin Gui asked 009: "How do you open this door?"

"Host, just scan your face. The water and electricity in this store are all connected by the system. You don't need to spend a penny."

Lin Gui stepped forward and scanned his face. The authentication was successful. With a click, the door lock was unlocked. Lin Gui pushed the door open and Da Huang came in and began to explore this unfamiliar place.

The ten-square-meter store is not big, with only the most basic shelves and a cash register. The warehouse is behind the cash register. Dahuang can walk around the entire store in just two steps.

"Host, please choose a name."

Although the store is not big, it gave Lin Gui a sense of security and made Lin Gui feel the effectiveness of his actions over the past two days.

"Let's call him Ertu, the sense of security of the soil and earth, and also Gui." "I have to own half of this store." Lin Gui joked.

"Okay, of course this store belongs to you, host."

[System is being generated, Ertu Pet Snack Shop has been saved in the archive]

When the system notified Lin Gui, the system panel that he could see had been greatly changed, and the homepage was already Ertu Snack Shop.

【Ertu Snack Shop】

[Agent: Lin Gui]

[Level: Level 1 (43 more points needed to reach the next level, please keep up the good work, host)]

【Products: Dog Bone Biscuits】

Lin Gui worked hard for an afternoon and gained 47 experience points. If he worked for another afternoon tomorrow, he should be able to reach the second level. So he asked 009 what rewards he could get for reaching the second level.

009 was only in charge of management and didn't know about the reward. He said to Lin Gui, "I heard that old systems have ways to dig into the data stream to see the rewards, but I'm still a new system and haven't mastered this skill yet. When I learn it, I'll tell the host and maybe even secretly change it to a better one for you."

"OK, I'll leave the system matters to you and the offline matters to me." After owning the store, Lin Gui seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden and was much more optimistic than a few days ago.

Dahuang could hardly stand staying in this empty shop any longer and kept wanting to run out. Lin Gui could hardly hold him back. Before leaving, she took some photos of the shop and hurriedly closed the door and left.

I returned to the community and walked around to the security room at the gate. I said to the security guard, "Uncle, I plan to take Dahuang home tonight. I'll take back Dahuang's nest."

The security guard agreed readily. Dahuang watched Lin Gui take its nest and didn't know what Lin Gui was going to do. He followed Lin Gui step by step, took the elevator, and went to the third floor. In the past, Lin Gui was impatient to wait for the elevator and would climb the stairs directly, but this time he brought Dahuang with him, and climbing stairs is not good for dogs' knees.

When the elevator reached the third floor, Lin Gui opened the door, took Dahuang in, untied its leash, and placed its nest in the living room.

He said to Da Huang, "Da Huang, this will be your home from now on. Get familiar with it."

Dahuang seemed to understand what Lin Gui meant, and began to familiarize himself with every corner of Lin Gui's house. Lin Gui lay down on the sofa and began to buy things the dog needed. Dahuang's nest was a nest that was picked up from a dog owner in the community who didn't want it anymore. This time, she would replace it with a new and bigger one, and she also needed to buy dog ​​food for Dahuang.

Although he made some money from selling snacks these two days, he didn't spend any of it. But when Lin Gui looked at the photos of the snack shop, he couldn't help but started buying things again. Da Huang also needs a home in the snack shop, otherwise he can't stay there. The chairs in the store seem to be made of solid wood, so he bought a comfortable and beautiful cushion. He bought this and that, and Lin Gui's already small savings were reduced again.

Fortunately, Grandma Xu called to ask Lin Gui something, otherwise Lin Gui's shopping desire that had been suppressed for a long time might not be able to be stopped. Grandma Xu learned from the security guard that Lin Gui planned to raise Da Huang, so she came to ask Lin Gui what the specific situation was.

Lin Gui told Grandma Xu that the store had been settled, and also told her about the recent promotional stall she had set up to prevent the old lady from worrying. She also made up a list of benefits for the store manager and told her about it. Only then did Grandma Xu feel relieved.

Grandma Xu knew that Lin Gui was raising Dahuang, but Lin Gui was too lazy to tell the uncles and aunts who were on good terms with Dahuang in the community group. She thought they would know about it soon, as Grandma Xu was good at spreading information.

After shopping, Lin Gui prepared to wash up and go to bed. She planned to get up early to walk Da Huang again tomorrow. Just when Lin Gui lay down, Da Huang came to Lin Gui's room, sat near the bedside table, and stared at her.

Lin Gui thought for a while, then took Da Huang's nest to her room. This time, Da Huang was willing to move, walked to its nest, buried himself in it, and went to sleep. Lin Gui said good night to it.

009 also popped up and said, "Good night, host."

"Good night." Lin Gui said.

After checking the alarm clock set for tomorrow, Lin Gui also went to bed. After a fruitful day, she thought she would have a good night's sleep.
