Because the only photo in the first row was of the little girl, a sweet, smiling headshot with the words "Station Master" written in large letters, Du Lanshan took a step closer, squinted, and asked, "You're the station master? Where did you put that woman named Wu Qian?"

The man was tall for an adult male, and when he approached, he completely blocked the light from Cheng Shuang's head, causing the little girl to instinctively take a step back and hug her teddy bear tightly.

"Hey! What are you doing? Ask her nicely, stay away from Shuangshuang!" Liu Juan's eyes were still red, but she was already like a startled female beast, firmly protecting Cheng Shuang behind her, glaring at Du Lanshan warily.

Du Jun also stretched out an arm to stop the man.

"We're in the same trench now, Du brothers, don't scare the little girl!" The atmosphere was tense for a moment, and Sun Han quickly stepped in to smooth things over. His glasses had already broken during the competition, but he still wore them out of habit, constantly adjusting the slipping frames as he spoke.

Seeing that she seemed to have incurred everyone's wrath, Du Lushu's tense face relaxed slightly, and she smiled amicably at everyone, "My brother doesn't have any bad intentions. He just wants to know if the station manager has any inside information, and what his reasons are for choosing the station manager? It's never reassuring to have a child as the station manager. Who can predict what the future holds? This convenience store is probably where we can occasionally rest and stop, so safety is naturally of paramount importance! Children's reasoning is not as sound as adults'; if they do something irreversible in a moment of impulsiveness, it will be troublesome!"

A veiled reference is something anyone can understand.

The Du brothers weren't complaining on behalf of Wu Qian; they were more worried that someone in the closed rest area might abuse their power and manipulate the maintainers living in the shop into slavery by using self-made rules.

If life is already hopeless, and even the last place where you can feel at ease and relax has to be divided into different levels, then you might as well give up on living.

"Does the stationmaster have that much power? Can this kid make the rules?" Du Lanshan stood with his arms crossed, his sharp gaze probing.

A little head peeked out from behind Liu Juan, and the little girl obediently raised her hand, saying, "Maybe it's because this convenience store is my parents' property that they've tacitly approved me as the station manager? As for inside information?" Under everyone's concerned gaze, she shook her head, "Only when I woke up did the mechanical voice prompt me to explore the store's facilities on my own. And what you said about setting rules, Uncle," the little girl frowned and sighed helplessly, "How could that be! The rules must have been set by the rest area, and we need to follow them, just like in the previous game. Besides, shouldn't we pay for things we take from the convenience store?"

The group paused, realizing that what he said was true...

Liu Juan hurriedly started rummaging through her pockets, but found nothing. She then looked enviously at the other people's phones.

"Your watch is smart, right?" Sun Han raised his chin, indicating that she could try to check it.

Liu Juan tapped a few times without much hope. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief. It was clear that the smartwatch could also be used to scan codes and had recorded her points—130.

“I scanned it. Ordinary food and drinks without attributes don’t cost points,” Du Jun said.

He had barely finished speaking when the slow-moving notice board underwent another change—

If the number of staff at a rest station falls below the minimum requirement, we will recruit members from nearby locations. All maintainers are advised that they may not recruit other maintainers from outside the rest station without authorization, and that they should not switch jobs.

Sun Han chuckled briefly upon reading this sentence, "It would be wonderful if every boss had a system like this!"

No wonder he became the president's assistant...

This change effectively cleared the young girl of suspicion that she had manipulated things behind the scenes as the station manager.

If Wu Qian has anyone to blame, it's that the notices scrolled too slowly, and she willingly let her emotions control her, so she has to bear the bitter consequences herself.

“There are still a few empty spaces here.” Cheng Shuang pointed to the photo section on tiptoe. After Wu Qian’s headshot disappeared, four empty spaces appeared. The group gathered around to take a closer look. Apart from Du Jun, he was more curious about the computer in front of the cashier.

The computer was clearly powered on, but the screen was completely black. He reached out and tapped the keyboard, and instantly the computer lit up, displaying a red warning: "Please do not tamper with the equipment in the store. Some equipment can only be operated by the site administrator."

"Shuangshuang!" Du Jun called out, and the little girl turned around and went straight to the computer.

She has her own tablet and is familiar with its operation. With a tap of her finger, the screen displays the original boot screen, which contains only a document and an online store icon.

The little girl clicked on the store, and a gray notification flashed by: Not yet open, please stay tuned.

The document's content is even simpler: "It's an explanation of the points system."

It turns out that points can not only be used to buy items with special effects at rest stops, but also to unlock software that allows you to check your talent skills. The first check costs 10 points, but subsequent checks are free.

"There are skills? How come I didn't know!" Sun Han said in surprise, carefully touching his arms and legs, but still found nothing. He was not discouraged, and kissed his points quota while holding his phone.

"It's a pity that points can't be used to improve physical fitness or unlock bloodlines!" Du Lushu said regretfully. Seeing several pairs of puzzled eyes looking at him, he shrugged and explained, "That's how it's written in novels!"

"Let's check what skills it can give us first!" Du Lanshan urged, patting Cheng Shuang's shoulder. "Little girl, quickly scroll down and see how to check."

Cheng Shuang nodded and turned to the next page, which was a table containing everyone's name and age, as well as a button next to each person to access their skills.

"Hurry up, order mine first!" Du Lanshan urged again, the tall man showing signs of impatience.

Liu Juan rolled her eyes at him, but considering that he was a teammate at the same rest stop and that he didn't seem to have any ill intentions, she was willing to tolerate it.

The young girl didn't mind. She started by ordering from Liu Juan, then Du Jun, Sun Han, Du Lushu, and finally herself and Du Lanshan.

Du Lanshan's face turned dark.

The little girl looked up and smiled sweetly, "Children and ladies should have priority, but uncle, since I am the stationmaster, I cannot show favoritism. Do you think I did the right thing?"

This kid is a bit annoying!

Du Lanshan snorted, and amidst the laughter of the others, he finally touched his nose and turned to look at his phone.

Cheng Shuang ran towards the staff break room, picked up her backpack, sat down on the row of chairs where customers could temporarily dine, and took out her phone to check it.

The phone screen has changed; the simple total points have been replaced by a complete personal panel.
