Weird Invasion 15 Threat
Lilith's shop.
No one could have imagined that the shop that was deserted two months ago, so empty that even mice wouldn't bother to visit, is now so busy that there's no place to step.
The handsome and beautiful waiters shuttled back and forth between the tables, which was a pleasure to watch.
Lilith had just calculated the profits of the three stores, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
With the store doing so well, Grandma Lucy should be able to rest assured.
Unexpectedly, a small hotpot restaurant could instantly revitalize the store and also take over the two neighboring stores. Now Lilith is really not short of money at all.
After recruiting enough waiters, Lilith would go hunting in Villansted in her free time, go shopping with her sisters, and have afternoon tea.
Then go home and play all kinds of new and interesting games.
Life is free and interesting, no longer boring.
It all started with the voice that suddenly popped up in her mind. Lilith signed a contract with a system called "Shop of All Worlds".
She exchanged a lot of books from other worlds from the Wanjie Shop and was amazed by the technology, scenery, and food in other worlds...
She tentatively tried the hot pot, which was said to be delicious without any cooking skills, and was immediately captivated by its flavor.
Everything can be cooked in hot pot, so she decisively transformed the store into a hot pot restaurant.
In addition to purchasing the base ingredients of various flavors from Wanjie Store, most of the ingredients are ordered from nearby vegetable farmers and livestock farmers.
Originally, their business was bleak, but because of Lilith's hot pot restaurant, many people's business was quickly revitalized.
No one expected that Lilith, who had little presence, would suddenly possess an unparalleled business acumen.
In addition to purchasing food ingredients, Lilith also runs a long-term business of purchasing magic crystals.
The most valuable thing she could imagine was the magic crystal. It just so happened that the magic crystal could be exchanged for a lot of energy. Lilith had been relying on the energy of the magic crystal to exchange items from the Wanjie Shop without limit.
Unfortunately, there are fewer adventurer teams heading to Villansted recently.
Well...I was attracted by her hot pot fried chicken.
Adventurers' money is used for eating and drinking, leaving less money for purchasing potions. Without potions as a backup, adventurers are unwilling to go deep into Vilanster, as they cannot obtain high-level magic crystals.
Lilith felt a little worried when she thought of this.
She was thinking about exchanging the magic crystal for gems, but gems were too expensive and she didn't have enough money to buy them endlessly.
How about opening a few more stores?
I've played a lot of fun games recently, so why not open a game store?
Lilith went upstairs thinking, and suddenly heard the voice in her head for the first time in a long time.
Wanjie Shop placed an order?
Huh? Buying a large amount of potions and alchemy materials?
Huh? You mean the overabundance of potions and herbs that have run out of market and are everywhere?
Lilith couldn't believe it, but that didn't stop her from going out immediately and erasing the words "Purchase of Magic Crystals" on the purchase order at the door and writing a new one.
Lilith was very efficient and quickly collected a batch of medicines for Xie Yunsui.
However, time is limited, and the pharmacist over there will probably take some time to make it, so the amount of spiritual tea potion may not be enough.
Xie Yunsui had no choice but to make medicine, and he would do it every day except attending classes.
Gu Xi thought that after talking to him, their relationship would become closer, but for many days in a row, except for classes, he was nowhere to be seen in the shelter.
Yang Lei waved her hand in front of his eyes: "Why are you daydreaming again?"
Gu Xi looked through the window at Xie Yunsui's hurriedly leaving figure and said, "Teacher Xie seems to be very busy recently."
"He's always busy. Those who are capable should do more work. Isn't it said that Teacher Xie opened his own shop, served as a consultant for the Abnormal Control Bureau, and also taught us. It's like he's doing three jobs for one person."
Yang Lei was quite envious, and she also wanted to become such a powerful person.
It must be a great feeling to have a stable income and be needed by many people, right?
Gu Xi just felt that he must be very tired since he was so busy.
A classmate knocked on the door and shouted, "Gu Xi, the dean wants to see you. He said there's a call for you."
Telephone?
Gu Xi was stunned for a moment. Someone else is calling me?
He walked into the dean's office and didn't figure it out until he took the phone from the dean and heard a familiar female voice on the other end.
"Brother, how are you doing recently?"
Gu Xi froze instantly and didn't react.
"Oh, my sister has been abroad for many years and just returned home recently. Are you free? It's been a long time since we last met. I'd like to treat you to a meal."
The voice on the other end sounded elegant, yet revealed an attitude that could not be refused.
Gu Xi's voice was indifferent: "I have to study and don't have time."
"Then let's make an appointment for the weekend."
"Mrs. Zhou..."
"So strange? Didn't you call me Big Sister before?"
The man opposite smiled brightly and said directly, "Saturday at noon, at the cafe near the shelter. I couldn't see you, so I had to go talk to your director."
Seeing that he didn't speak for a while, the dean couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Are you in trouble?"
Gu Xi smiled and handed the phone back: "It's okay, Dean, it's Zhu's sister. She's back from abroad and wants to treat me to a meal."
The dean was suspicious: "Didn't the Zhu family...didn't they break up? It's been three years, and you're still in touch?"
Gu Xi naturally had no connection with those people.
But those people were powerful and had many tricks up their sleeves, so it was easy for them to find him.
Gu Xi didn't know why Zhu's sister wanted to have dinner with him. Zhu Jiasen and his wife had a car accident and passed away suddenly, and the division of the inheritance was very unpleasant.
Gu Xi was young at the time, and was not as good as her sisters who got married and were surrounded by the schemes of their families.
Not only did Gu Xi not get any property, he was also kicked back to the welfare home like a ball.
For the past three years, they have treated their younger brother as if he didn't exist and ignored him.
Originally, Gu Xi had only met these sisters a few times. At that time, he thought he would stay in the Zhu family forever, so he tried hard to please the sisters, but the sisters all ignored him.
After leaving the Zhu family, Gu Xi treated them as strangers.
Now the elder sister suddenly appears and wants to treat him to a meal. Could it be that she has a change of heart and wants to compensate him?
Gu Xi was not so naive, but he couldn't figure out what was so special about him while he was still in the orphanage that the other party would care about him.
At least I won't worry about his meal card, whose balance never exceeds 100 yuan.
Saturday noon.
Gu Xi finished his meal in the cafeteria and asked the dean for leave to go out.
Because the cafe was not far from the shelter, it was within easy reach of the guard who could hear if anything happened, so the director approved the leave application with confidence.
There were not many people in the cafe at noon. When Gu Xi opened the door, he saw an exquisite and elegant lady sitting in the corner.
That whole temperament is incompatible with the common coffee shop.
There are also two layers with Gu Xi wearing the rescue school uniform.
"Xiao Xi~" Zhu Mingyu had been looking at the door. When he saw Gu Xi come in, he waved at him.
Perhaps the waiter didn't expect that two people with such a huge difference in appearance actually knew each other. Gu Xi walked over despite their shocked looks and sat opposite them.
"What would you like to drink?"
Gu Xi said to the waiter who came over: "I want one of each of the small cakes and a cup of cocoa milk."
Zhu Mingyu looked at the young boy with a young face. His every move and gesture still retained the dignity that he had corrected in the Zhu family.
"Not bad, it seems you haven't forgotten all the etiquette." Zhu Mingyu praised him and asked him, "Do you want to go back to the Zhou family with me?"
The waiter served the food very quickly, after all, the small cakes were already prepared.
Gu Xi scooped a spoonful of red velvet cake unceremoniously and replied, "In what capacity?"
"My brother's identity."
"Is the Zhou family willing too?"
"Of course I will, as long as I'm here."
Gu Xi finished his palm-sized cake in a few bites and tilted his head curiously: "Donate bone marrow or donate kidney?"
Zhu Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed: "Don't think so badly of me. Am I looking for you just because I'm interested in your body parts?"
Gu Xi: "What else?"
Zhu Mingyu's smile gradually faded, and he picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip.
"You are still so smart." She said, "I wish you were really my brother."
Gu Xi just thought she was hypocritical.
But no matter how much she lamented, it would be better for her to lament for a while longer, until he finished eating all the small cakes for today's snack.
Although the shelter was good and there was no shortage of food and drink, desserts were never provided.
The last time Gu Xi ate a cupcake was at Zhu’s house.
"But I'm not looking for your organs. Doesn't your rescue center cooperate with the Abnormal Management Bureau? You should have a talisman from the Abnormal Management Bureau, right? I'll pay you, and you can give me the talisman."
Gu Xi looked at her in confusion: "The Zhou family can't even buy a talisman?"
Zhu Mingyu smiled. "I'm not talking about those low-quality talismans. I'm talking about the recent ones that have real effects. They are too scarce, and the Zhou family can't buy many."
Gu Xi said: "But I only have one."
"Don't your classmates have some too? I'll pay for it, and you can buy it for me and your classmates. Buy as many as you can."
"Just buy some talismans?"
"Besides the talisman, what else do you have?"
Gu Xi took two sips of cocoa milk and looked up: "Just a few talismans, is it worth it for you to make a trip? And you want to take me back to the Zhou family?"
"Good boy." Zhu Mingyu took out a card from her handbag and said with a smile, "There's 500,000 yuan on this card. As long as you tell me the cultivation method word for word, the money on the card will be yours."
Gu Xi finally understood that she came here to practice martial arts from the beginning.
Zhu Mingyu was testing him from the beginning. If he was still the kind of child who was attached to his family, he might not even want to pay the 500,000 yuan.
Seeing that he was not interested in family affection, I tried another method and tried to impress him with money.
As expected of children raised by the Zhu family, he and they are all exactly the same...
Gu Xi closed his eyes, guessing that if he didn't accept, Zhu Mingyu would give up on the inducement and resort to direct coercion.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Mingyu asked faintly, "Do you think I have some leverage over you?"
Gu Xi smiled faintly, and a small dimple appeared on his cheek.
He looks young, innocent and harmless.
"My sister is just trying to make it impossible for me to stay in the orphanage."
"What else can threaten me?"
