Chapter 086: Eating Watermelon at the Food Court (14)

At this time, Jiang Minxu also raised the same question as Mo Qianhe in the group.

"Why else could it be? The owners of these shops are NPCs, and the NPC's information is interconnected with the copy system." Zhou Da didn't care.

At this time, Mo Qianhe looked at Liu Tang's current appearance, thinking of the "clear memory" mentioned by his silly nephew, and the charging compartment placed in the storage room.

He quickly guessed a possibility: "The system only realized that the store had violated the regulations after the night had passed. It was not that the store settled the bill as soon as it started selling non-compliant food.

"Why?

“Because only after nightfall can the system receive information about store violations.

"So what happened this night?

"At night, all bosses must enter the charging cabin to charge."

After listening to Mo Qianhe's voice, Jiang Minxu understood what he meant: "When the charging pod is charging the owner, it will read their memory and find out that the store is operating in violation of regulations."

"That's right. And even if the system finds that the NPC boss has violated the rules in the charging cabin, his qualifications will not be revoked. He will only be taken away after being reported by a player." Mo Qianhe replied.

Liu Tang realized: "In other words, in this instance, whether it's a player or an NPC, violating regulations won't necessarily result in an increase in boss unlocking or a fine."

"You will only be punished if you are caught by the system." Pavilion Master Ji concluded.

After listening to the group message, Zhou Dada said boredly, "But what's the point of analyzing all this? We can't stop the boss from charging. All we can do is avoid illegal operations."

Ji Zehan and Jiang Minxu looked at each other.

Jiang Minxu said, "It's very useful. As long as we players don't report each other and make sure other NPCs don't discover our violations, then even if we do violate the rules, we can always stay safe."

Pavilion Master Ji turned to look at Zhou Dazhi and said, "Besides, don't we have a boss here who doesn't need to charge at night?"

Zhou Da noticed that Pavilion Master Ji was looking at him.

He immediately understood: "Yes! I am the temporary store manager now, and I still go back to the dormitory at night.

"If I don't charge, the system won't detect my violation. Then I can illegally sell low-cost expired food, increase my profits, and still not be detected by the system!"

Pavilion Master Ji nodded at him, his face still calm and composed.

Chairman Jiang kindly reminded him, "But this is the worst option. Unless it's absolutely necessary, it's better for us to follow the rules."

Zhou Da had been insulted by Chairman Jiang several times and didn't like him very much. Now when he heard what he said, he just turned a deaf ear and ignored it.

He returned to his recliner, opened the system panel, and looked through the expired semi-finished products that were two-thirds cheaper, feeling itchy.

He hesitated for a while, but still didn't make up his mind to buy it.

Let's wait and see. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Mo Qianhe in the bun shop looked at the conversation between Ji Zehan and Jiang Minxu in the group and always felt something was strange.

Especially the very strict Pavilion Master Ji, who usually doesn't like to exploit loopholes in the dungeon rules. Why does he seem to be in a hurry for success this time?

Is it because he wants to make money quickly by bringing in a wealthy man?

In the milk tea shop, Qin Zhengyi heard the system notification of a player's violation and looked at Song Xiaoyan with some concern.

After listening to the analysis in the group, the two of them felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Ever since Feng Xiansu was taken away by the inspector, the system has not reported her elimination, which means that this person is still alive.

If the former owner of the fried skewers shop was taken away and gave away the two players who violated the rules the day before, then Feng Xiansu, as a part-time employee of the milk tea shop...

Just as I was thinking about this, the system notification sounded again:

"According to a report by a part-time employee of the milk tea shop, there were illegal operations in the milk tea shop yesterday. Three part-time employees were involved in selling drinks made with expired ingredients.

"Since these three players have already been fined with food coins this morning, they will not be fined again."

"Three players have violated regulations. The boss unlock rate has increased by 15%, and the total unlock rate has increased to 60%."

As expected. Song Xiaoyan's expression became uglier.

This person is really haunting.

Liu Tang, who was working in the bun shop, received a call from his silly nephew at this time.

Because he was busy with work, he only answered the voice call and pulled Mo Qianhe into the call.

As soon as the call was connected, I heard the silly nephew wailing nervously: "Uncle! I was really scared to death just now, uncle!

"The inspector actually came to me! He said I instructed that Feng guy to poison the milk tea!"

Liu Tang's receiver trembled at the sharp voice of the other party. He quickly turned down the volume before replying, "What did you say?"

The stinky tofu vendor immediately said proudly, "I definitely can't carry such a big pot! Of course, it's just what Mr. Mo said. He said he asked me for it, so I gave it to him out of kindness. I don't know anything else."

Liu Tang smiled and said, "Does the Inspector believe it now?"

The silly nephew shook his head, but then thought about how the other party couldn't see his movements, and said: "How can it be, she definitely won't believe it, but she has no evidence. There's no video or anything."

When Mo Qianhe heard this, he curled his lips and turned around to continue helping the guests order.

The behavior of the stinky tofu stall owner is different from that of other bosses. They directly sell expired food, which is a violation under the rules of the copy.

But the stall owner only gave Feng Xiansu some fermented juice, and there was no financial transaction between the two. If Feng Xiansu did not have sufficient evidence to prove that the stall owner intended to disrupt the milk tea shop's business, then his behavior would not constitute a violation.

"Fortunately, I didn't have time to give her food coins as a reward, otherwise I really can't explain it." The silly nephew was scared in the voice chat.

Liu Tang was speechless. This silly nephew really thought of himself as an innocent victim.

However, Liu Tang felt a little relieved because he was not implicated.

Although he is just an ordinary NPC in this copy, who knows what special circumstances will arise if he is really implicated and found to have violated the rules.

He told his silly nephew, "Since everything is fine, then be careful from now on and don't give anyone else a handle. As for ruining other people's business, don't bother with it for now. Just focus on selling your stinky tofu."

"Okay, okay." The silly nephew agreed repeatedly.

At this point, Liu Tang's goal of persuading the stinky tofu stall owner to stop causing trouble was finally achieved.

Mo Qianhe thought of what the stall owner had mentioned before about clearing the memory and reminded him: "If you don't mind, you can clear the memory to prevent it from being read by the inspector."

When the stinky tofu stall owner heard Mo Qianhe's voice, he realized that he was also connected and quickly responded, "Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Mo for your guidance before, otherwise I would be in trouble this time."

In the interrogation room of the part-time employee dormitory, the inspector said to Feng Xiansu, "I've already dealt with everything I could. As for the stinky tofu vendor, your words are unfounded. I don't have the authority to punish him."

Although Feng Xiansu was unwilling, she still bit her lip and said nothing.

The inspector continued, "As for the illegal behavior of the milk tea shop owner you mentioned, I checked it this morning. There were no expired ingredients in the shop. Without physical evidence, I cannot remove her from her position as owner."

Feng Xiansu regretted very much at this time. She shouldn't have handled the expired raw materials too cleanly. Now she was really shooting herself in the foot.

She knew that this was the time to demonstrate her value and she couldn't miss any opportunity, so she quickly recalled her experiences and what she had seen and heard since entering the studio, and her mind became more active.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in the girl's mind, and she suddenly said, "If there is no physical evidence, can we have a witness?"

In another interrogation room, the inspector walked into the room and asked the owner of the fried skewers shop, "Is there anything else you want to confess?"

The projection of the fried skewers above the owner's head was chaotic, and his voice was filled with frustration: "Boss, I have told you everything I know!"

The inspector looked at him and said, "I heard that you have a close relationship with the owner of the milk tea shop. You must know what's going on in her shop, right?"

The skewers shop owner was slightly taken aback and flatly denied it: "Boss, please don't believe the rumors others spread! I have nothing to do with the milk tea shop owner!"

"Really?" The inspector didn't say much and directly projected a photo.

That was a photo of him and the milk tea shop owner having intimate actions at the back door of the milk tea shop.

This photo was secretly taken by Zhou Youwei and sent to Feng Xiansu privately, who then passed it to the inspector.

When the skewers shop owner saw the photo, he could no longer argue and could only remain silent.

The inspector continued, "Did you know that the owner of the milk tea shop actually has a special relationship with the owner of the dregs biscuit shop?"

The skewers shop owner slammed the table and said, "Nonsense! She and I are the real love! She has always been a chaste woman!"

The inspector projected another video, also filmed by Zhou Youwei, which was a communication video between the owner of the milk tea shop and the owner of the diaozha sesame cake shop. In the video, the two people addressed each other in a particularly intimate manner and even mentioned spending the night together.

How could the owner of the fried skewers shop not understand when he saw this?

Thinking about when he was arrested before, the part-time employee named Zhou Da said that he was cheated on and also mentioned the owner of the Crumb Pancake Shop. The skewers boss had completely believed this fact.

"While you are here trying hard to keep her secret, she is out there having fun with someone else." The inspector continued to add fuel to the fire.

The skewers shop owner gnashed his teeth and said, "That bitch! I will never let her off easily! Not only did she buy expired ingredients, she also falsified the accounts! Boss, just check her account books and you'll know!"

When the inspector heard this, the corners of his stiff mouth curved into an awkward arc.

In the milk tea shop, after listening to the announcement, Qin Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Although the boss unlocking level has increased a bit, fortunately it's not much. Besides, we haven't been arrested by the inspectors, and we still have work, so we won't be unable to enter the dormitory at night."

Song Xiaoyan nodded.

Before the boss is fully unlocked, players who are caught violating the rules don't seem to be killed. But what if the boss is fully unlocked...

They had only been in the dungeon for two days, but the boss unlocking level had already exceeded half. It would take them at least five days to accumulate 1,000 food coins, so Song Xiaoyan had to worry about this.

While we were busy, there was another commotion in the store.

Song Xiaoyan looked up and saw the inspector coming back.

The milk tea shop owner had just finished a phone call and came out of the storage room. Seeing the inspector, he hurried over to greet him. "Boss, what brings you here? Is there a result for the part-time worker?"

The inspector raised his hand, and a document appeared in the air in front of his palm. He said, "I've received a report that you, as the store manager, have been engaged in long-term violations of accounting regulations and have enriched yourself. I'm here to inspect you."

Before the milk tea shop owner could react, the inspector had already wirelessly connected to the store's accounting computer. Her eyes flashed as she confirmed, "The violation has been verified. Your position as 'store manager' is hereby revoked. Please return with me for a more thorough investigation."

The milk tea shop owner felt as if his entire body was being controlled and he couldn't move freely, with his wrists forced together by magnets.

The inspector reached out and opened the metal shell on her arm, and took out the identity chip representing the "store manager".

"No, no way. If you take me away, then there will be no one to take care of the store with the highest sales in our food court." The owner of the milk tea shop was still struggling.

Everything happened so fast that Qin Zhengyi and Song Xiaoyan didn't know what to do except watch.

Qin Zhengyi's concerns were very real: "If no one really manages this store, won't we all be out of work?"

Song Xiaoyan heard in the group that Zhou Dada had replaced the previous owner of the fried skewers shop as the new interim manager. Her mind raced, and she was about to step forward to recommend herself when she heard a familiar voice behind the inspector:

"Who said no one cares? I'm here, aren't I?"

Then, a long-haired girl walked out from behind the inspector with a forced smile and took the chip from the inspector's hand.

After Qin Zhengyi saw who it was, she gasped, "Hiss... Why is Feng Xiansu back again?"

Song Xiaoyan's face turned pale. She was really tired of saying the words "lingering ghost".
