Lin Leyou hesitated for a moment, but quickly opened the car door and got in. "Uncle, where are we going? I don't know."
The uncle started the car and said, "Don't worry, it's not far. It's in Shangyu Village, about ten kilometers outside Endless City. Food and lodging are included!"
Shangyu Village?
Lin Leyou thought it was called Endless Village, but thinking about it, it makes sense. The Endless World must be quite large, and there would be many villages, so it's impossible for every one of them to be called Endless Village.
What is my job?
"I don't know about that. When you get to the village, someone will tell you. Don't worry, you only get 10 points for seven days of work. It's all safe and very simple work, perfect for someone like you who's just starting out."
Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
After getting a general idea of the job, Lin Leyou stopped talking. He relaxed a little and looked out the car window. The scenery outside the car was slowly changing from the tall buildings of the city to some low-rise houses.
It soon turned into a dense forest, growing very well and lushly. However, the weather was gloomy, making the forest look rather eerie.
In the past, he would definitely have felt uneasy, but now that he has become a resident of the Endless World, he is not afraid of the scenery at all, but finds it quite normal.
The car stopped at a fork in the road. "You can get out now. Do you see this dirt road? Walk along this road, and you'll see a figure ahead. He's the one who's here to pick you up. Go on."
Lin Leyou immediately got out of the car. "Thank you, uncle. Will you be picking me up in seven days?"
Uncle, "No, people from the village will take you back to the city."
Lin Leyou: "Okay, thank you, I'll be going now."
After closing the car door, he watched the man turn the car around and drive away, muttering to himself, unaware that Lin Leyou was watching, "Only if the job can be completed..."
Lin Leyou turned and walked onto the dirt road, which was covered with gravel, but fortunately it wasn't difficult to walk on. After walking for less than two minutes, he saw the person waiting for him there.
A young man with a deathly pale face, pure white sclera against pure black pupils—in the real world, that would be a classic case of seeing a ghost.
With this kind of environment and weather, it's even more terrifying.
But in Lin Leyou's eyes now, he just thinks he looks very ordinary, and... very ordinary.
"Hello, I am Song Ying, the son of the village chief of Shangyu Village. Thank you for accepting this job."
Lin Leyou blinked naturally. "Hello, Mr. Song, I am Lin Leyou. I will take this job seriously. By the way, is the village far away?"
Song Ying smiled slightly, "It's not far, just a two-minute walk. You see, the village is over there."
Lin Leyou looked in the direction he was pointing, and it was indeed very close. This Shangyu Village was actually not far from the main road they had just crossed.
They were standing on a relatively high spot, offering a panoramic view of the entire village. Surrounded by higher terrain, the village was situated in the middle, its relatively low-lying location resembling a bowl, making it a perfect location for dungeons.
Song Ying: "Come with me."
Lin Leyou followed his pace, and the two walked slowly, talking as they went.
"By the way, what are my job responsibilities?"
Song Ying said, "Actually... it's very simple. The manager of our village store was punished for violating the rules, and no one is willing to be the store manager for a short period of time, so we have to hire someone."
Very well, even if you obtain the status of a resident, you still need to abide by the so-called rules in the Endless World. If you don't follow the rules, you will be dealt with.
As for how to handle it, although he didn't know, he could vaguely guess that it was definitely not a good thing.
"I see. That's quite troublesome."
Song Ying nodded seriously, "Yes, guests are about to arrive, and this kind of thing happening at this crucial moment is really going to cause trouble for others."
"As for your job, it's very simple. You just need to help look after the convenience store. The store is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and you are free to do whatever you want during the rest of the time."
"Also, you must get a good rest between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., do not go out, do not open the door for anyone, and do not respond to any sounds."
"Everything in the store is priced. You just need to pay the money. You can take the money with you; it's nothing important. As for the food, you can eat whatever you want in the store."
Lin Leyou blinked. Working in this convenience store, you can actually take the money with you? And the store's opening hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. You have to stay in the room, you can't go out, you can't open the door for anyone, and you have to ignore any sound and not make any noise.
It sounds simple, but... it's not always the case when something actually happens.
Lin Leyou: "Okay, I understand."
Led by Song Ying, they soon arrived at the small village. It was getting dark, and there were very few people out and about.
Song Ying stopped and pointed to the first house he saw after entering the village. "This is the small shop in Shangyu Village. It will be open for seven days, starting at midnight tonight."
"I've said everything I need to say. Just remember not to break the rules here."
Lin Leyou nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Song Ying said, "I've already told the villagers that someone will take over the convenience store in the next seven days. Just remember what I said, and you can do whatever you want with the rest."
"By the way, you can't just wander around during the convenience store's opening hours; you have to be professional."
Lin Leyou smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know everything."
Song Ying said, "Since that's the case, then you can go in. You can use everything in the house for the next seven days; everything inside is brand new."
Lin Leyou nodded, "Thank you, I'll go in first then."
Song Ying: "Okay."
He stood there watching Lin Leyou slowly walk into the convenience store. The shelves in the store were neatly arranged, and various items were categorized and displayed. Each item had a price tag. The selection wasn't particularly large, but it had everything one needed for daily life.
This is a single-story building, about 200 square meters in size. The area used for displaying shelves for business is about 150 square meters. There is a door on the left-hand side. After opening it, you will find a small kitchen.
To the right of the entrance is a small dining area, and further inside are the rooms and bathroom.
