Chapter 263
In the end, Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun could only continue to use this name reluctantly.
Anyway, it can be changed in three months, and after seeing Zhou Qi's name, they also found some comfort.
A handsome guy porridge: ... :)
After upgrading their level to lv5, Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun temporarily returned to the magic tent.
They missed their son so much and wanted to hear his voice and talk to him.
Zhou Qi also understood it very well, but in order to reach level 21 as soon as possible, he stayed at the stall and continued trading.
Tang Yu'an accepted the voice invitations of both of them at the same time, thus enabling the family of three to have a real-time conversation.
When she heard Tang Yu'an's voice, Tang Xueyun couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although we used videotapes to communicate before, the feeling was definitely different from the real-time conversations we have now.
"Mom, don't cry, I'm living well here."
Tang Yu'an said: "The home that Brother Xiaoqi and I built now has more than 50,000 people! I feel safe here and have met many people who are very kind to me."
He talked about his pets, then Old Li, Granny Guo, Lin Zhen, Tie Jin and other friends with whom he had developed deep relationships.
"I'm not lonely here at all. You don't have to worry about me."
However, the more he said this, the more Tang Xueyun couldn't stop crying. It was not until a long time later that her emotions were barely calmed down.
Tang Yu'an also took the opportunity to share useful props with them.
Dog Frisbee, cat toy and mousetrap. I don't know if these three items will be effective against human mutants, but they should be no problem against animals.
Unfortunately, the magic marbles are bound to Tang Yu'an and cannot be used by them.
Then there are the umbrellas.
Because San San possessed a spirit, Tang Yu'an couldn't go against its wishes, so he discussed it with it.
It expressed its willingness to protect Tang Yu'an's family when necessary, but most of the time, it still wanted to stay with Tang Yu'an.
"Whenever you need anything, just private message me. The shadow umbrella is very powerful. My brother Xiaoqi and I have relied on it to get through many difficult times."
"Okay, okay."
Tang Yu'an wanted to continue speaking, but was stopped by his mother.
"Keep these items for yourself. Once Shop 13 opens that... protective barrier, we'll be safe as long as we don't leave. We won't need these."
Tang Xueyun said, "And with that purple sleeping pillow, your father and I will be safe even if we go out."
"But you, being alone in another world, need these more."
At her insistence, Tang Yu'an did not continue to introduce the props, but instead arranged for them to learn the skill of teleportation.
"Mom and Dad, you have to work hard to level up so that I can give you more permissions. The teleportation skill is very useful when it reaches a high level!"
Then, Tang Yu'an opened up all the items that could be exchanged in the wholesale mall to them.
Just when he was thinking of giving them 500,000 points each, he was stopped by Tang Xueyun again.
"Don't give us so much at once. You are in another world, and now your home is so big, you need money right now."
In Tang Xueyun's concept, points are roughly equivalent to money.
Tang Yu'an whispered, "But Mom, I have more than 8 million points now."
Tang Xueyun: "..."
"Son, have you made a fortune?" Tang Sheng was also shocked.
Tang Yu'an chuckled, "Because I control a salt town, you all know how important salt is."
Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun both came from small towns. How could they have ever seen so much money?
From Tang Yu'an's story, they finally realized that their son was not simply doing business or running a community.
It was more like he established a "country" and he became the supreme leader of this "country".
Although this "country" was established based on the concept of homeland, the sons and the staff they lead are already performing the functions of a provisional government.
How old are An An and Xiao Qi? They've already achieved such success!
However, they were not dazzled by the wealth created by their son.
Tang Sheng said seriously, "An An, you are doing something great and remarkable. Mom and Dad are very pleased."
"But since we've built this home, we must protect it. We can't use oppression and exploitation of others as a means to enrich ourselves, understand?"
"Yeah, I know." Tang Yu'an nodded, "We have to operate with integrity and use real materials."
"That's right. Since you've established a new set of rules, you and the team you lead must abide by them. You can't just say one thing and do another..."
Tang Yu'an nodded and responded softly.
Dad likes to tell him these truths. He used to feel annoyed after hearing them too much, but now he listens carefully and writes down every word his father says.
He felt like he was back in time.
More than three years have passed and his memories of the past have become a little fuzzy. Now he realizes that he has never forgotten.
Although they couldn't meet in person yet, this voice call still made him feel like he was back with his parents.
People probably only know how to cherish something after they lose it. He was able to get it back, which made him much luckier than most people in the world.
"An An, don't put so much pressure on yourself." Tang Xueyun's voice sounded again.
"Your father has his reasons for saying that, but you're grown up now and have your own ways and methods. You'll encounter situations we can't imagine. Just do what you can and have a clear conscience."
"Remember, no matter what, your safety is what mom and dad care about most. You must take care of yourself first, and then help others when you have enough energy. Got it?"
Tang Yu'an felt warm in his heart, and his eyes felt a little sore and swollen.
"Yes, I remember that."
In the end, he allocated 500,000 points to Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun respectively.
Although Tang Yu'an is a little money-grubber, he is still very generous to people close to him, and he is indeed very rich now.
After the voice call ended, Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"Mom and Dad, has my brother become a millionaire now?"
Tang Yuxin, who had been listening to their conversation nearby, snuggled up to Tang Xueyun when she saw them stop.
"That was earned by your brother with his life." Tang Xueyun pinched her nose. "You also need to study hard so that you can help your brother when you grow up."
"I'm learning, I'm learning." Tang Yuxin muttered.
"Yes, we can't let ourselves be looked down upon." Tang Sheng said, "Now that we have the start-up capital, things will be much easier. We will also run store No. 13 in the future!"
"Yes, that's right!"
The family encouraged each other, and then the three of them left the magic tent.
Tang Sheng drove the truck and went to store No. 13 together.
Now Store No. 13 is my son’s asset, and those with bad intentions cannot enter. For them, there is no place safer than here.
Afterwards, they handed Tang Yuxin over to the care of Grandpa Lin.
His grandson is called Lin Jiangjiang, who is about the same age as Tang Yuxin. They can not only be playmates, but also study together.
When Lin Jiangjiang saw Tang Yuxin holding a pile of textbooks and exercise books and stuffing them into his hands as a gift, he was completely stunned.
Mr. Lin was also very surprised.
He had heard before that the Pillow Superman couple exchanged supplies for books, but he didn't expect it to be used for this purpose?
They are truly a superhero family!
He told Tang Yuxin not to run around and to hide in the magic tent if anything went wrong. Then they went out and switched shifts with Zhou Qi to make a deal.
With the addition of Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun, the speed of gaining experience points has indeed increased a lot.
By the evening, Zhou Qi's experience points had increased by 10,350 points, which was much faster than if he had done it alone. It should take less than a week to reach the maximum.
Because Tang Sheng and his wife had already moved the truck to Store No. 13, Zhou Qi greeted Mo Chengfei and asked him to organize people to go to Store No. 13 for the transaction the next day.
Until the morning of the third day——
[Experience value is full, employee level +1]
Seeing this message, Zhou Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Great! The level requirements were finally met! He quickly applied to activate the protective barrier.
After Tang Yu'an agreed, he temporarily ended today's transaction and dismissed those who were still waiting outside.
In the past few days, they have completed at least one transaction with more than 10,000 people in the entire base, turning all of them into regular customers.
The popularity of store No. 13 was also increased to 45,000+.
After returning to the store, Zhou Qi and Tang Yu'an began to upgrade the store.
The first two levels of upgrades for branches are relatively simple. If all other conditions are met, the upgrade is completed with a total deduction of only 1,500 points.
But it becomes difficult to upgrade to level 3.
[Upgrade conditions: Merchant level lv15, store popularity 50,000, total store area 10,000 square meters, 5 hard decoration upgrades, 5 pieces of magical furniture of level lv1 or above, and 2 pieces of magical furniture of level lv2 or above]
"The store's popularity is still more than 4,000 points away. Just check it out tomorrow and it will be there." Zhou Qi said.
As for the total area of 10,000 square meters, this can be completed by building a wall to enclose the entire base.
As for the magical furniture, Tang Yu'an already had a lot of stock. Although there were fewer level 2 furniture, he could wait until store No. 13 was upgraded before putting them back into the deserted city home.
"Once upgraded to level 3, the overnight accommodation quota will be unlocked to 110,000 people, more than enough to accommodate the entire base."
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but sigh: "It's much easier now than before."
This is the benefit of being powerful!
"It's still very difficult to continue to improve." Zhou Qi said, "We have to keep working hard."
Tang Yu'an nodded in agreement.
To upgrade the shop to level 4, the merchant level must first be level 30. He didn't know how long he would be stuck at this level...
"Take your time, the conditions now are much better than before!"
"Um."
Starting from the next week, I spent points and store popularity to activate the two all-weather functions of the protective barrier and the function of inviting customers to stay overnight.
Soon, all the customers he had come into contact with in the past few days appeared on the right side of the overnight list.
Zhou Qi didn't rush to add it, but first copied the overnight rules of the deserted city home as they were.
Although he had confidence in the moral qualities of the people in the original world, the end of the world had already been here for almost half a year, so one must be on guard against others, and overnight stay rules were still necessary.
The overnight stay rule is mandatory and this can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.
After Zhou Qi wrote the overnight accommodation rules and added 90% of the people in the base to the overnight accommodation list, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as you raise the store's popularity to 50,000 points tomorrow and then raise the store level to level 3, I can come back to find you."
There was joy and excitement in his tone, and Tang Yu'an couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
He thought for a moment and said, "After the promotion, I will transfer the position of store manager to my father."
The experience points required for the first 20 levels are not much, and Tang Sheng can easily obtain them. As for the next 5 levels, if they continue at their current speed, they should be able to reach them in one or two months.
"Using a message in a bottle to travel between planes is still too risky. I think we can use a safer method."
Tang Yu'an really didn't want to go through 20 days of torment again. This time he was lucky and Brother Xiaoqi woke up smoothly, but what about next time?
It just takes a little longer, he can wait.
"It's the same with Dad being a store manager. As long as the conditions are met, he can also set up a teleportation array."
He has discussed this with his parents, and this is the solution they finally came up with.
Tang Yu'an hesitated for a moment, and said reluctantly: "Or do you want to stay in the original world? This is actually..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Qi interrupted him, "I must return to this plane. I said, wherever you are, there I will be."
Tang Yu'an grinned slightly, "Well, then do as I say!"
"If you want to give the store manager to Uncle Tang, you can do it now. When we increase the store's popularity tomorrow, we can also give him some experience points."
Zhou Qi said: "As for the store upgrade operation, this is simple, I will teach him."
"good."
So, Tang Yu'an appointed his father Tang Sheng as the branch manager of Store No. 13.
Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun were right next to Zhou Qi and heard what he said, so there was no need for him to relay it.
Then they went back to their rooms.
"Xiaoqi and An'an have such a wonderful relationship." Tang Sheng returned to his room and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really not easy for them to rely on each other and support each other all the way to where they are now!"
Tang Xueyun nodded, but did not say anything. Instead, she frowned and thought for a moment.
Is she too sensitive?
Why do I always feel like something is weird?
-
The next day, Tang Yuxin received the message in a bottle that Tang Yu'an had sent back earlier.
Just as they guessed, after Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun became employees, they could no longer receive the dream message in a bottle.
However, the message in the bottle in Tang Xueyun's hand did not disappear and could be delivered back to Menghai.
Although she felt a little disappointed, Tang Xueyun's mood quickly improved when she thought that they could contact their son by voice at any time if they wanted to.
They plunged into the trade again, starting early in the morning and filling up the store with activity by the afternoon.
Zhou Qi completed five hardware upgrades yesterday, and now the only condition left is a floor area of 10,000 square meters.
Zhou Qi and Tang Sheng discussed it for a while, and Tang Sheng finally made the final decision: "Since 10,000 square meters can be achieved with a radius of only 57 meters, let's directly use the protective barrier to expand!"
The protective barrier expands outward 57 meters, requiring only 57,000 points and 5,700 store popularity points.
This is much faster than building a wall and is permanent. In the long run, upgrading the protective barrier is definitely more beneficial than building a wall.
"There's a problem," Zhou Qi said, "the houses around here aren't ours."
According to their previous experience in Linhai Town, the protective barrier would actively give way to an owner's house.
Tang Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Leave it to us."
Then, he and Tang Xueyun left Store No. 13 and found Mo Chengfei together.
Mo Chengfei looked at them in surprise, "The Ping'an Chamber of Commerce wants the land for its base?"
"That's right."
Tang Sheng nodded. "The Self-Defense Forces can still live here. Everything else will remain the same. We will also protect the base from the mutants, but this base needs to be registered under the name of the Heian Chamber of Commerce."
Mo Chengfei opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again.
At this time, Tang Sheng continued, "You have also seen the protective barrier of our Ping'an Grocery Store, right?"
The protective barrier has the ability to be invisible at night, so as soon as it was opened yesterday, the people in the base discovered it.
However, because he reappeared the next morning, and Tang Sheng and the others had the ability to "hide", everyone was still watching and did not come forward to ask.
"As long as we join the Ping An Chamber of Commerce, that barrier will gradually expand to the entire base."
Tang Sheng said, "We'll leave personnel management to you. As long as you abide by the rules of the Ping An Chamber of Commerce, we won't interfere."
Mo Chengfei was already tempted when he heard that the protective barrier could continue to expand outward. When he heard that Ping'an Chamber of Commerce would not deprive him of his position, he finally agreed.
Of course, he still convened the core members of the Self-Defense Forces for discussion.
In the past week, the Ping'an Chamber of Commerce has won the hearts and minds of the people in the base through the almost unlimited distribution of compressed biscuits and the strength demonstrated by the three bosses.
In the end, it was passed unanimously!
As a result, the Ping'an Chamber of Commerce obtained the land ownership of this base, and Tang Sheng successfully expanded the scope of the protective barrier to 10,000 square meters and upgraded store No. 13 to level 3.
In this way, the number of overnight accommodation places has increased to 110,000, and the remaining 10% of the survivors in this base can all be added to the overnight accommodation list!
And Zhou Qi can finally set off to return to his original plane!
