Chapter 241
The bearded man didn't expect that he would receive the task just after he finished praying.
Was this sent to him by the Lord God? Or...
The great god of business!
He quickly looked at the specific content of the task.
[Elite Mission: Build a Red Bee Grocery Store]
[Description: On your first day in the sect, you raised your employee's level to level 5. This proves your excellence. The mysterious merchant has decided to give you a further test.]
[Quest Content: Find a house in Chifeng Town to build a grocery store. Make sure the house is ownerless and place the token inside.]
[Reward: Stay at the Red Bee Grocery Store, Protection from the God of Commerce]
[You have obtained the mission item: Keepsake]

After the bearded man chose to accept the goods, he found a metal disc in his hand, which looked a bit like the coins he had picked up before the disaster.
However, this coin looked very new, and the words "peace" were engraved on it - of course, he didn't recognize them.
"Big Beard, what is this?" Mao San asked when he found that there was an extra coin in his hand.
"It's a token given to me by the Lord God!" the bearded man said excitedly, "I've received a mission, but I don't know what the benefits are yet."
"Did our prayers work?" Mao Hua asked.
“That’s right!”
Although the task description said that it was because he was promoted to level 5 in a short period of time and was recognized by the mysterious businessman, Big Beard still felt that his prayers also played a role.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Anyway, it’s just a few words of prayer. Mysterious businessmen like to hear them, so they just recite them more often. Any benefit they can get is a profit!
"What is that mission?" Mao Da asked.
"Find an ownerless house in Chifeng Town and build a grocery store." The bearded man replied.
"What good is that?"
The bearded man thought for a moment and said, "If we open a shop, people can come to us to buy things, and we won't have to run around so much, right?"
"Of course, the benefit of the mission is that you can gain the protection of the God of Commerce."
Mao Da nodded. "Why do you want an ownerless house? Can't we have this room?"
The bearded man didn't understand either. He shrugged and said, "We just do it. Why think so much?"
Then he sent the three siblings to bed and said, "Go wander around town tomorrow and find an empty house."
This task is still very simple. After all, people die in the wasteland every day, and the population of Red Bee Town has been declining sharply in recent years.
It's not easy to find an empty house that no one lives in.
"Do we even need to look for it? Isn't there anyone living next door?" Mao Da muttered.
"We're going to open a store, so of course we need to find one with a good location..."
The sound of conversation in the room gradually faded away.
The next morning, when Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi brought Kang Kang back to Lanhu Grocery Store, they saw that the "token" he gave to Big Beard had been placed on the map.
This coin is a commemorative edition of the Ping An coin made of variant metal.
He marked the coin so that its location could be seen on a map, making it perfect as a keepsake.
As for why there are ownerless houses?
Of course, it was because he had no way to come forward to take over the ownership of the house, so at this time he couldn't help but miss Brother Chi Hao.
However, the houses he got were a bit far away and he couldn't use them for the time being.
Soon, Kang Kang was picked up by Lan Yunqing.
Because he went back to see his mother-in-law in the evening and relieved his longing for her, Kang Kang was full of energy again today.
Almost as soon as they walked out of the Lanhu Grocery Store, he and Lan Yunqing were moved away by the Lanhu mother tree.
Tang Yu'an took out an umbrella and headed to Chifeng Town with Zhou Qi. Although they had never been there before, they had a map, so they were not worried about getting lost.
He also took care of two mutant creatures along the way.
Before they got close to Chifeng Town, they heard a dense buzzing sound.
I saw a "red cloud" flying from a distance, and when it got closer, I could see red bees the size of fingers.
Because the "red cloud" had a wide range, they had no time to avoid it and could only stand still.
I don’t know whether it’s the umbrella’s ability to “stand in the jungle and blend in with the environment” that works, or whether these bees are just naturally docile.
Even after flying under the umbrella, they simply avoided Tang Yu'an and Zhou Fei and did not actively attack them.
One of them accidentally bumped into Tang Yu'an, but it just shook its head, then flew away with its companions.
Tang Yu'an was somewhat glad that he did not release the little red bird, otherwise the bees would have been in trouble.
They waited until the swarm left before continuing on their way.
Chifeng Town is located in a valley. Perhaps because of the abundant groundwater, many plants grow in the valley even after the dry season.
There are many red bees flying among the plants, looking for nectar sources to collect.
Several beekeepers were watching them.
Judging from the color of the punctuation points on the map, they should have done business with the bearded man.
As I passed by, I could still hear them saying, "Wait until Chifeng comes back, then go find Big Beard to trade for some rice. I traded a pound yesterday. It's not very tasty, but it does fill my stomach."
"I've eaten all the ones I changed. Let's go earlier so that more people don't know and they've all changed!"
Listening to their conversation, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but smile.
"I feel this place is better than Jufeng Town," he said.
Although judging from Mao Da's previous words and attitude, the residents of Chifeng Town probably did a lot of bad things like robbery, but compared to Jufeng Mountain, they at least still run a pillar industry.
By raising red wasps to obtain food, they can survive through their own hard work.
In this way, it will be easier for them to open up the business here.
Once supplies become abundant, they no longer need to rob to support themselves. Then who would be willing to take the risk of doing thankless work?
Zhou Qi nodded. Once the Chifeng Grocery Store developed, he could also use overnight accommodation rules to restrict the people here.
As long as order is established, we can develop better.
Soon they flew into Red Bee Town and came to the room where the "token" was placed.
Big Beard and Mao Da were doing business outside the house.
"Come one by one, don't be anxious, they are all available, no need to rush."
The bearded man was sitting on a chair in the front yard with a sack in front of him, while the three Mao siblings were helping to maintain order.
One by one, the skinny townspeople came to him and exchanged honey for brown rice.
The scene seemed to be in good order.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi took a look at it, then walked into the house, found the commemorative coin, put it away, and started building a branch.
You are establishing a branch
[This property is ownerless and meets the conditions...]
Please name this branch.
【"Ping An Grocery Store No. 8" was successfully established! 】
The two young men were busy in the house. The transaction outside came to a temporary halt, and Big Beard and the others could finally take a break.
Mao Da sat down next to the bearded man, drank a sip of water, and then looked at the small house behind him.
"Haven't you completed your mission yet?" he asked. "How long has that token been in there? Do you want to move it to another place?"
The bearded man was also a little confused.
At this moment, he looked up and saw someone else coming in from outside the yard, so he shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, business is booming right now, don't let those people get away with nothing."
Mao Da had no choice but to nod, then stood up and continued to entertain the guests with his younger brothers and sisters.
Just as the bearded man was about to exchange some more rice and put it into the sack, he saw a foot suddenly kicking towards him.
He was unable to dodge and was kicked to the ground, and the sack in front of him had been snatched away.
"Huang Mazi, what are you doing!"
A pockmarked man sneered, "What are you doing? Robbery!"
When the other customers who had just come in saw this, they all ran away with their honey in their arms, fearing that their things would also be stolen.
"Put the bag down!"
Only Mao Da, after discovering the situation, picked up a wooden stick and rushed towards Huang Mazi.
Huang Mazi chuckled, grabbed the wooden stick, and kicked Mao Da over again. "With your mediocre skills, you dare to show off in front of me?"
He put the sack on his shoulder, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the bearded man with ill intentions.
"I saw it all just now." He said, "Do you have spatial abilities?"
The bearded man's heart trembled.
"Hand over everything in the space, and..."
However, before he could finish his words, the wooden stick and sack in Huang Mazi's hands fell to the ground.
At the same time, he disappeared from the spot out of thin air.
The three Mao brothers and sisters were all stunned, except for the bearded man who was kicked to the ground. He covered his chest with his hands and showed an ecstatic look.
Just now, a piece of text popped up on the panel in front of him.
Congratulations! You've completed the elite mission "Build the Red Bee Grocery Store" and received the bonus of moving into the "Ping An Grocery Store No. 8."
[You have obtained the "Protection of the God of Commerce"]
【Please select the delivery address...】
Huang Mazi's sudden disappearance must be related to the protection of the God of Commerce!
At this time, there was a noise outside the yard.
"What is Huang Mazi doing?"
"Is he crazy?"
Big Beard and the others couldn't help but look over and saw Huang Mazi trying to come in through the courtyard gate, but after stepping through the door, he walked out with a dazed expression.
After taking two steps, he came to his senses again, then turned around and walked into the yard again, still unconvinced, and repeated the above actions.
He also tried to jump into the yard, but the moment he landed, he disappeared out of thin air and then appeared outside.
"The God of Commerce has appeared!"
The bearded man couldn't help but shout loudly, then he knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of the "messenger of God" he had met before.
Mao Da couldn't help but be stunned, while Mao San and Mao Hua had already followed the big bearded man's example and bowed down together.
"Thank you, God of Commerce, for protecting us!" shouted the bearded man.
Mao San and Mao Hua also hurriedly followed suit.
Mao Da looked at them, and finally knelt down hesitantly. Even though he had many doubts before, he had to believe it after seeing the "miracle" with his own eyes!
Outside the yard, Huang Mazi, who realized what was happening, ran away in fear.
The onlookers saw everything that had just happened and were whispering to each other, but they were not scared away.
Anyway, they are not the ones being robbed, they are still waiting to exchange for food!
The bearded man had no time to change customers. After bowing again and again in the direction of the "messenger of God", he stood up and chose to receive the goods.
A plaque appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The plaque reads "Red Bee Grocery Store", and there is also the "Ping An Chamber of Commerce" logo in the lower right corner.
The bearded man didn't understand the meaning of these words, he just felt that the plaque looked so unusual and full of mysterious beauty.
This is the "protection of the God of Business"!
It must be because of this plaque that Huang Mazi was sent away, right? He must protect this plaque well.
Although Huang Mazi was sent out first and he got the plaque later, he felt that there was no need to care about such insignificant details.
After all, this is the power of God. Isn't it normal that some of it is incomprehensible to mortals like him?
"Big Beard, what is this?" Mao Da couldn't help but come over.
The three siblings had seen the bearded man take out food out of thin air, so they were naturally not surprised. However, the other guests stared at them with wide eyes.
At the same time, they pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any details.
The bearded man stood up and said proudly, "This is the protection of the God of Commerce!"
At this time, his panel popped up again.
Congratulations! Triggering the normal quest "Hanging the Plaque"
[Mission Description: Hang the "Protection of the God of Commerce" on the door of the Chifeng Grocery Store. Anyone who harbors ill intentions towards you will be unable to enter the store.]
[Task content: Hang a plaque and officially open to the public]
[Reward: You will become a formal employee of the Red Bee Grocery Store and unlock more store benefits and features]
The bearded man's eyes lit up.
He said directly: "With this, anyone who harbors ill will towards us and the Shangshen Cult will never be able to enter our grocery store!"
"Is it really that powerful?" Mao Da's first reaction was disbelief.
The other onlookers nodded as well.
"Hahaha, you saw what happened to Huang Mazi just now, didn't you?" The bearded man laughed heartily. "If you don't believe me, you can try it. You're welcome anytime!"
His worship of the god of commerce has now reached its peak.
After all, the reason why he likes to use his brain is entirely because he is not good at fighting. He has been bullied because of this since he was a child, and he has struggled hard to survive to this day.
And now, he finally doesn't have to be afraid of those evil people anymore!
As long as those people have ill intentions towards him, they cannot enter the Red Bee Grocery Store. They can't steal his things, let alone do business with him!
They can't even get through the door!
After laughing, the bearded man quickly ran to the door and tried to hang up the plaque carefully.
Mao Da and Mao San looked at each other and hurried over to help.
Mao Hua picked up the sack on the ground.
After the plaque was hung, the bearded man received a message reminder.
Because of your outstanding work performance, you have been transferred to Ping An Grocery Store No. 8. Please continue to work hard to increase the popularity of the store.
The bearded man saw that the store he belonged to had changed from Store No. 6 to Store No. 8.
Looking at the message board store channel again, the chat history between Xiao Chaonao and Chenxi was still there, but no matter how he called them, there was no response.
Although he felt a little regretful, the bearded man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although you can learn a lot from following the big guys, the pressure is also extremely great!
Now he has his own store, and in the future he can strive to develop Mao Da and others into employees, and work together to develop the Chifeng Grocery Store!
So, the bearded man expressed his regret to the two predecessors on the public channel, and then happily closed the message board.
They rearranged the chairs, lined up those who wanted to trade food, and started doing business again.
"Come one by one, as long as you are loyal to our Shangshen Sect, you can exchange it for food. Don't worry!" The bearded man shouted enthusiastically.
Inside the Chifeng Grocery Store, Tang Yu'an watched everything that happened outside and couldn't help but say with a smile, "We arrived just in time."
"Yeah." Zhou Qi nodded.
Moreover, the name of Shangshen Sect is really useful.
Blaming everything on the God of Business can avoid certain dangers and arouse people's awe.
I have to say that Lao Mo, who invented the theory of religion, is really a genius.
Of course, the most important thing is that the aura of driving away bad customers also played a huge role, preventing the tragedy of the Jufeng Grocery Store from happening again.
Tang Yu'an nodded happily.
He thought of something and said, "Don't we have some left over from the physique eggs we made for Mom and Dad? Do you want to give some to Lao Mo?"
"And Grandpa Li and Granny Guo, they can eat too!"
Zhou Qi was a little hesitant, "They are old, will they be unable to bear it?"
Tang Yu'an recalled his experience of living in the toilet for several days after eating the physical fitness egg, and he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
He scratched his head and said, "How about eating a little first? Grandpa and Grandma have special abilities, so their physiques should be relatively strong."
Lao Mo seems to be an ordinary person, so he might not be able to do well...
Zhou Qi nodded and said, "Let's try again when we get back."
Now they can no longer do without these old people, especially Grandpa Li. If he had not managed the deserted city home in an orderly manner, they would not be able to run around outside all day.
How to enhance their physical fitness and prolong their lifespan is also a problem that needs to be solved.
"We can also ask Teacher Gu for help. He is a monk, so he must have a solution."
"Um."
But at this moment, the system panel in front of Tang Yu'an popped up again.
[Employee "Big Beard" completes a profitable transaction with a new customer, earning +5 points and +3 experience points]
[Experience value is full, merchant level +1]
[Merchant level reaches lv23, and the mall has added tea, sandwich biscuits, instant noodles, sanitary napkins, and razors for exchange. For details, please visit the "Wholesale Market"]
[Portable storage slot +1, total slots: 27]
[New forum feature of adding friends, and the trading area window allows you to specify friends to purchase]
[RV function upgrade, can unlock "autonomous driving" mode]
[Seven-day special sale refresh card +1]
"Haha, Brother Xiaoqi, I finally reached the next level! There are so many good things in this upgrade!" Tang Yu'an couldn't help but cheer.
The experience points required for this upgrade are as high as more than 40,000 points. Fortunately, there are so many excellent employees. Otherwise, if he relies on himself alone, it is unknown when he will be able to reach the next level.
Tang Yu'an looked at the reward carefully.
First of all, the five new products added to the mall are all very practical.
"Tea, sandwich biscuits, and instant noodles are all in one big category, and you can exchange them for different varieties and specifications!"
Tea is very useful and the grassland tribes would probably need it.
Sandwich biscuits can satisfy your hunger and taste better than compressed biscuits, not to mention instant noodles!
The instant noodles they brought from the original world had long been eaten up, but now they can exchange them for their favorite instant noodles!
"Grandpa must be very happy. He likes eating instant noodles very much."
Tang Yu'an said, "The sanitary napkins can be sent back to my mother. As for the razor, it will definitely be good for shaving my head."
With a razor, you don’t have to cut your hair like before, which makes it look like it’s been chewed.
"You can now add friends to the forum! You can specify friends for transactions..." Tang Yu'an tilted his head slightly, "Will there be a private chat function in the future?"
He continued to look down, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"The RV has added an automatic driving mode!"
However, when he opened the RV interface, he found that it still needed to be unlocked, and he had to be near the RV.
Zhou Qi said, "Then let's go back."
The protective barrier of the Red Bee Grocery Store has been opened, but because the store is not popular enough, the function of inviting customers to stay overnight cannot be enabled for the time being.
But judging by Big Beard's speed, it will probably be open in the evening, and then we can add Mao Da and the others to the list.
As for the teleportation array, Zhou Qi directly used his earth-based abilities to create a basement.
They entered the basement and used the teleportation array to return to the RV. Tang Yu'an then opened the RV upgrade panel and prepared to unlock the automatic driving mode.
-
MR168845 plane.
Tang Sheng had just finished his "daily blow" to the mutants, pulled the curtain of the magic tent, and returned to the living room.
He sat down on the sofa with a serious expression.
Tang Xueyun's period was over. She poured him a glass of water and asked, "How was your day?"
"Another mutant has arrived."
The mutant had already become much weaker due to his daily harassment, but he didn't expect that it would attract another mutant today.
and……
"They seem to be reproducing." Tang Sheng frowned, his face looking very ugly.
Past experience shows that mutations are not contagious, so as long as we continue to eliminate the mutant species, they will be eliminated sooner or later.
But if they were able to reproduce, that would be a different story.
This stuff will become more and more common, and the world will become a worse place.
"I'll go out and kill them!" Tang Xueyun said as she stood up.
"Don't be impulsive!" Tang Sheng quickly held her back. "It's already difficult to deal with one side, let alone both. Let's discuss it."
The main reason was that they were not outside, and there were no weapons suitable for her to use. If she rushed out to fight hand-to-hand, she would inevitably get injured.
Tang Xueyun was a little annoyed, but in the end she had no choice but to sit down.
But after a while, she felt a little sleepy and couldn't help closing her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, there was a message in a bottle in her hand.
Seeing her clenched hands, Tang Sheng was delighted. "Any news about An An and the others?"
Tang Xueyun nodded and called her daughter who was doing homework over. The whole family gathered together and watched her take out the space bag and light computer.
After watching the video on the computer, Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun's expressions became a little strange.
Tang Yuxin opened the space bag and pulled out a purple-red pillow. She said, "Is this the pillow that my brother mentioned that's not afraid of getting beaten?"
Tang Xueyun nodded, then threw the pillow to Tang Sheng, "Try lying down."
Tang Sheng swallowed hard.
Finally, he lay down and put his head on the pillow. Seeing Tang Xueyun starting to gather strength, he quickly said, "Wife, be gentle!"
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
Then she swung her fist, which was powerful enough to smash the mutant's brains out!
