Chapter 040 Food, Seeds, and Weapons Shop
Lin Muqiu couldn't tell them about the management system, so she could only laugh and say, "I fell off a cliff and found a secret magic notebook."
Nicole and Kedlo let out a long "Oh", thinking that the chosen one was indeed extraordinary, and he didn't die even after falling off the cliff.
Lin Muqiu touched her nose. She felt particularly guilty about lying.
*
Actually.
A few days ago, she woke up drowsily, only to see the system prompt that she had not yet claimed the reward for upgrading her management system to level three:
[You can choose an effect bonus for the Food Shop, Planting Shop, and Weapon Shop!]
[Effect 1: The attributes of items produced in the store will increase moderately]
[Effect 2: Your three stores will have their restocking fees reduced by 5%.]
[Effect 3: The output of your three shops will have the item lock function.]
【Specific details can be explained by the system. 】
Lin Muqiu glanced at it, seeming to be thinking about something.
She said without hesitation, "Master System, please come out for a moment. I have something to ask you."
The system slowly came out, and memories of past bugs came flooding back. "What's wrong, host?"
Lin Muqiu asked: "How much does the first option attribute increase?"
The system gave the answer, "It's roughly the same as the random bonus effect obtained when upgrading to a second-level shop."
Lin Muqiu kept weighing things. "Speaking of this, I've been wanting to ask you this. Why was it that only the food store had such a noticeable random buff, while the other shops only received things like [Toughness +1] and [Turkey Fire Breathing Effect +1]? It wasn't particularly noticeable."
The system flashed. "The sauce you brought from the modern era has too many ingredients to grade. However, to facilitate system input, I've graded it as white. Actually, its complexity is comparable to blue-grade ingredients. As compensation for balance, the main system has allowed me to add some buffs to the management system."
Lin Muqiu seemed to be lost in thought.
This was not much different from what she had guessed before.
In fact, similar sauces to modern ones can be synthesized in the magical world, but the recipe is complicated and requires autumn crops, so they usually start at the green grade after synthesis.
This is why she chose the sauce instead of anything else.
Although modern soy sauce does not indicate its grade, its power should not be underestimated.
In other words, how could this be a bonus effect from the management system? It's clearly the modern product itself that's powerful; the management system simply restores its original capabilities.
Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful.
It seems that other stores can no longer use random card-drawing marketing. Drawing cards is only possible if the rewards are attractive enough.
If you think about it this way, the first option looks good, but in reality the gain may not be useful.
As for the second option, she does not plan to purchase in large quantities. After boosting productivity, it is best to be self-sufficient and make money by exporting.
Scanning the third option, she couldn't help but become curious, "What does item lock mean?"
The system explains:
If theft is detected in the store, the store will automatically administer a punitive electric shock and deduct fees for the theft.
Lin Muqiu: "...It sounds somewhat useful, but it doesn't seem to be that useful."
The shop is located in the inner part of the town, and there are guards everywhere. Not to mention how low the chance of theft is. More importantly, she is a max-level boss and can monitor the movement of items at any time. If she encounters a thief, wouldn't it be great to recover the items herself?
Maybe you can even demand a high price in compensation (extortion) from the other party.
The system is really good, and the balance of the three options is very good.
This is what it means when people say it is tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.
The system sensed her attitude and couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Ever since he was cheated, he upgraded the system. This time the rules were very strict. Let's see how she can find loopholes and exploit bugs.
But Lin Muqiu naturally would not give up this opportunity.
Her eyes turned, "The limit is on the products produced in the store, not on my personal products, right?"
The system was silent for two seconds, as if it didn't hear the difference. She obviously owned the store. "Yes."
Lin Muqiu raised the corners of his lips slightly.
That's a huge difference.
For one, the attribute of being an “in-store product” will not disappear after it is sold, but for the other, the product will no longer “belong to her personally” after the transaction is completed.
She continued slowly, "If a wild animal like a wild boar steals something, that's still considered theft, right? The definition of theft is when someone takes something that doesn't belong to them."
System: “…Yes.”
I suspect she's stuck with a bug, but I have no evidence
Lin Muqiu raised the corners of his lips.
This is very good. It is equivalent to that after the townspeople buy seeds produced in the store, they will be automatically linked to an owner lock, and others cannot steal them. Moreover, they can be safely planted in the wild, and wild animals will not dare to destroy them easily.
A difference of a few words can make a huge difference.
She couldn't help but continue to persuade him, "If that's the case, then if the other party uses it illegally or fails to return it on time, you can also apply for a judgment to directly recover it and pay compensation, right? After all, this has the potential for theft."
The system, squeezed dry of every last bit of oil and water, said, "Alright, host. If nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
Although it was a robotic male voice, one could hear it gritting its teeth.
"Okay..." Lin Muqiu murmured as he watched it flee in panic, "That means I agree."
What a system that is hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
System: Hehe
"Knock."
Two knocks on the door interrupted her thoughts.
After saying "please come in", Yun Yi came over and put the oatmeal porridge and braised chicken on the table. "Master, let's have breakfast together?"
Lin Muqiu responded, and seeing that he looked tired, she flipped through the list of props.
[Your loyal partner: Yunyi (bound)
Level: Level 23, Cooking Skill Level 32 (Intermediate Chef Level), Magic Skill Level 21 (Can progress to Intermediate Mage and change job), Stamina Level 33...
Loyalty: 100
Negative buff: The item's stamina is exhausted and it is extremely tired. Further work may damage the item's durability (health and life points)!
Note: It can be used as a prop and placed in a ring.
Lin Muqiu raised an eyebrow at him, "Please sit down. Are you too tired from practicing magic? If you are tired, just take a break. I'm here for you."
Yun Yi didn't answer, but just smiled at her, "Master, why are you so happy?"
Lin Muqiu helped him open the lunch box and smiled brightly.
She had gotten used to sharing the latest happenings with him these days. "I've come up with a good idea. We can turn the weapon shop into a modern version of a shared power bank, with automatic deductions and easy returns."
Yun Yi couldn't help but smile as she watched her cheeks puff up and she ate like a little hamster.
Having breakfast with his master seemed to alleviate the loneliness he had felt for many years. At that time, what he feared most was lying in the infinite space of a ring.
There was nothing there.
Fortunately, his master never treated him like this.
His eyes sparkled. "Master, you're amazing. We'll be able to add another specialty to the store."
If the hastily escaping system heard this, it would explode with rage: Is that how amazing is she? That's a bug she created by jamming the management system!!!

Martial arts training ground.
When Augustine saw Lin Muqiu coming, he stood up quickly and subconsciously wanted to greet him, but when he saw Kede Luo and an unfamiliar woman following him, he forced himself to suppress the smile on his lips.
He stepped forward and slowly said, "Master Lin, Master Mayor, do you want to review the results of the individual training?"
Lin Muqiu nodded, * "Yes, let's check the recent results. It's a good opportunity for this noble to learn from them."
Augustine glanced at the "noble sir" Lin Muqiu mentioned and nodded slightly to show respect. He felt that he seemed to have seen this person at the banquet.
Nicole explained, "My name is Nicole, and I'm the daughter of the Duke of Central."
"No wonder," Augustine suddenly realized, "Master Lin, Master Mayor, let's get started."
After that, he said to the guards, "You must work hard. Today is a great opportunity to shine in front of Lord Lin."
Nicole, who was left aside: "..."
The double standard is too obvious. Every word he says is about Lord Lin. It's outrageous.
Augustine glanced at the troops, and his subordinates immediately understood what he meant. They entered the battle area and started fighting against a large number of wild boars.
During solo practice, they fight one beast at a time and are not allowed to form teams.
Nicole's voice trembled. "Are you sure you can fight a wild boar with just one person?"
When the beast goes extremely berserk, even the soldiers of the imperial capital cannot fight alone.
Lin Muqiu said calmly, "Well, the wild boar is the last unit of the special training. If you can't handle it alone even with a turkey mount and knowing the beast's weaknesses, it's better to just leave. Otherwise, you'll die on the battlefield where thousands of beasts are charging."
Nicole said nothing, but just pursed her lips and stared at the actions of the guards. What was incredible was that each of the guards raised their swords and stabbed them directly into the wild boar's chest, and they were almost not at a disadvantage.
Feeling the gaze coming from the other side, Guard Peter's blood surged and he worked even harder.
He treats every training session as a real battle!
I usually practice reciting and practicing diligently, and resist the ridicule and temptation of Charlie and others, all for this moment!
He believed that Lord Lin Muqiu and the mayor would be able to recognize talent!
Lin Muqiu looked at the tense battle situation and suddenly shouted, "Okay, stop."
As soon as he finished speaking, some people were very puzzled as to why the time given was so short, so they reluctantly killed the wild boars around them before stopping. Some people, although puzzled, still stopped directly.
Peter turned over and silently clenched the knife in his hand, his eyes full of regret.
What a pity, just three seconds and I could have killed another wild boar.
Meanwhile, Charlie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If he didn't practice recitation seriously, it would show in his grades. This wild boar was really difficult to deal with. He didn't kill any of them and was only concerned about escaping.
Fortunately, Lin Muqiu gave everyone too little time, so they probably couldn’t see anything.
Thinking of this, Charlie showed a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth. While Peter was putting down the knife, he rushed to the side and stabbed the monster that Peter had killed to death with another knife, pretending that he had killed it himself.
Peter glared at him.
After snatching the monster, Charlie ignored Peter's anger and was very proud of himself.
You, Peter, you can’t read but you still recite and practice every day, dreaming of rising to the top. Now you realize it’s useless?
With such a short time, Lin Muqiu definitely couldn't observe so many people at the same time! How could he possibly see you?
Even Nicole was shocked, "Master Lin Muqiu, what are you going to do in such a short time?"
Lin Muqiu spread his hands and said, "Sorry, your training guide experience card has expired. Do you need to renew it?"
Nicole: “…”
You talk about making money every three sentences, you are really amazing.
Everyone present burst out laughing. Lin Muqiu finally stopped joking and turned to the guards, counting the number of people one by one. "You, and the one behind you, and the one at the very end... all of you, come out!"
More than a dozen people were surprised and stepped out one by one.
Peter, who was called out, looked upright.
Charlie looked uneasy when he was called, but he tried to remain calm.
She must be rewarding the person who killed the beast, that's what she must be.
She couldn't find it, it was impossible...
