Chapter 1122 Extra Chapter 5 The Most Special Person [Song Shiyi] (Update for Alliance Leader 'yzj-0-')
At nine o'clock in the morning, Song Shiyi drove all the way to the store and saw a group of people outside her small store that had not yet opened.
She walked over in confusion and found that people outside the store were queuing up, all young men and women, most of them playing with their phones. Noticing Song Shiyi, their looks showed the same kind of surprise or confusion.
How come "Let's have some fun" suddenly attracted so many customers?
The problem is that this store is unremarkable. It just offers a variety of drinks, rents a few pet cats and birds every weekend, and does not stock many types of board games.
Since opening two months ago, the restaurant has been largely deserted.
Instead, many people came to ask Song Shiyi if she wanted to do a live short drama or something, saying that this is the era of the beauty economy, and as long as live broadcasts start, the store will become popular.
She refused them all.
Opening this water bar is just a personal interest. Song Shiyi likes eating, drinking and raising pets, and she has incorporated these elements into the store.
In the past two months, the main source of income has come from some young girls, mainly college and high school girls. They ask Song Shiyi how to put on makeup and dress up, and use this place as a fitting room and photo location, and are willing to pay.
In general, "Touch the Fish Water Bar" is in a normal loss-making and unpopular state, just like most small shops.
Song Shiyi didn't care much about it. Her living expenses were enough to run the small shop.
But the sudden appearance of this group of people made her a little overwhelmed.
One of the young men asked, "Does this place support offline spiritual realm item transactions?"
Spirit Realm Transaction...
Song Shiyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I support it."
She just made the decision two days ago.
How do these people know?
"That's no problem." The other person seemed relieved and said to his companion, "I told you to hurry up. Only by lining up in the front can you have a chance to buy the good stuff from the Yao Clan."
Yao clan?
Song Shiyi opened the door of the store somewhat confusedly. After the customers came in, they sat around the tables and looked at everything inside.
At this time, a girl with green eyes and wearing a baseball cap appeared.
"I am Isabel, an apostle of the Yao Clan. I am now announcing the catalog of this batch of Yao Clan sales and purchases."
All eyes were on her.
The girl said: "The items for sale this time include 1 [Sky Candle], 2 [Psychic Guards], 4 [Yao Clan Magnetic Stations], and 24 [Electric Furnaces]. Because we have a strategic partnership with this store, the items sold are only for our members, so please be aware of this."
Those who entered immediately ran to the bar and began scanning the code to request membership.
Song Shiyi had to explain one by one that the membership system of this store was quite special. It was free of charge, but members were required to leave an exhibit on the exhibit wall for everyone to appreciate and share.
The people present reached out their hands and grabbed various things from their backs. Some were helmets made of strange shrimp shells, newspapers with dynamic text, some were potted plants shaped like a pile of feathers that would expand and contract, and some were like mountain-shaped bonsai - but the mountains would spew out volcanic eruptions...
Song Shiyi finally confirmed that all those who came were travelers from the spiritual realm.
Two years ago, relevant national departments officially disclosed information related to the spiritual realm, which caused a huge sensation in the whole society, and the virtual space became a hot topic that people talked about with relish.
However, most people can only enter the spiritual city with a short-term visa, and cannot reach outside the city, more like short-distance travelers. Even so, the existence of another dimensional universe still makes everyone excited.
To dive deep into the spiritual realm and operate in it for a long time has a very high threshold. One needs to obtain a license issued by the Special Procuratorial Committee to obtain the [Godhood] and become the [God] of that world.
The official name of this group of deities is Spirit Realm Wanderers.
Only visitors can use the [Boundary Chain] to bring virtual universe items into the real universe, but all incoming items are controlled by the [South Heaven Gate] covering the entire country. Only harmless items that comply with relevant laws and regulations can be used here, otherwise you will be arrested for carrying and using contraband.
There were dozens of tourists, all from the Chongyao tribe, who came here to sell things.
When they finished the barter transaction, the girl Isabel said calmly: "This transaction ends here. The next sale will be notified in our store. Please pay attention and observe."
The tourists did not leave immediately, but ordered drinks and cakes and chatted with each other.
At this time, Isabel came over and said, "I'm sorry, I did this without discussing the specific process with you. It was because of an unexpected situation. The Yao tribe encountered a special star official..."
Song Shiyi was familiar with the girl in front of her.
On the day the store opened, the green-eyed girl with a foreign name came to support the store. There were two other girls beside her, one wearing a denim jacket and looking very unapproachable, and the other was very gentle, with a voice and a smile that made people feel good.
They often drink afternoon tea and play cards here.
Song Shiyi gradually got to know them and became curious about their backgrounds and occupations, and why they always came to her shop. However, she restrained her desire to pursue them.
Not to mention these customers who she met by chance, even Song Shiyi herself sometimes couldn't understand.
When she woke up, her five years of memory became blurry and incomplete, like a jigsaw puzzle with holes all over it.
Song Shiyi remembers many people, her parents, Ding Hanzhen, Wei Yingxue... but there is also a very important person, she just remembers a face with blank features, but she can't say the other person's name.
Wei Yingxue, a former colleague and friend, told her that she was once a spirit traveler and worked in the committee. Because of the special nature of the title [Moon Goddess], she separated from Song Shiyi at the age of 23 to find a new successor.
Although the committee repeatedly urged her to stay, both during the Yueshen period and later as Song Shiyi, she chose to leave.
Even the resignation letter had been written early.
Song Shiyi thought that she probably wanted to change her life, maybe it was too hard before. Now everyone talked about the topic of spiritual realm, but she didn't feel anything special. Instead, she preferred this simple life in a single space.
When I was 23 years old, I chose to retire.
"Sister Song."
Isabel's voice brought her back to her thoughts.
"We will regularly list items for sale here, and purchase some supplies from tourists. As long as they are species with a certain degree of specialness, whether it is chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, wheat, or fruit trees, we are likely to purchase them. Then we will post notices here and announce collection and purchase tasks... It can also bring some popularity here."
Isabel asked, "How do you feel about this?"
"Yes, of course you are welcome."
Song Shiyi was just a little confused: "But why are you helping me?"
Two days ago, Isabel proposed to add spiritual elements here to allow visitors to trade offline...similar to the functions of a classical bar. To be a transit station for transactions and information flow.
Song Shiyi thought it was a good idea, but she didn’t have the resources and didn’t know how to do it.
Isabel said she would find a solution, and this thought led to the current situation.
Song Shiyi said, "We knew each other before, right?"
The girl nodded.
"It's just that you don't remember us."
Song Shiyi poured her a cup of black tea: "What kind of person was I before?"
"Reliable, considerate, and efficient." This is the other party's evaluation.
She thought to herself, this is completely different from who she is now.
Today, Song Shiyi is an extremely unreliable shop owner, leading a lazy semi-retired life. The only thing she still retains is probably her considerateness.
Being considerate is not about caring for every detail, but knowing when to not talk is fine, which Song Shiyi has remembered since her days in the girl group. Although there are few customers in the store, the atmosphere is always relaxed, and customers will not feel nervous or uneasy.
This is more like a lifestyle habit of hers.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Song Shiyi said self-deprecatingly: "Am I very frustrated now?"
"No."
The tea-drinking girl said seriously, "You are still very beautiful, and a little more mature than before."
What a great answer.
Song Shiyi said thank you.
Isabel took a little sparrow out of her pocket.
The sparrow was not afraid of people at all. It stood on the table, looked at him, and then flew to his left shoulder.
"Its name is Mingzai," Isabel said. "It used to be your apostle."
Song Shiyi couldn't help but scratch the feathers of this strange little bird with her fingers, as if it was a muscle reflex.
"But since you can't stay here for too long, you asked us to take care of it for you."
The girl explained: "Actually, it can speak, but after you lost your divine authority, you can no longer hear or communicate directly."
Song Shiyi thought to herself, so that's how it is.
She couldn't help but think of it.
There are indeed many past diaries on the tablet, but a lot of information is missing. It seems like deciphering incomplete ancient documents, which is a headache.
Isabel suddenly looked towards the door and waved in that direction, and then a guest came over and sat next to Isabel.
Song Shiyi looked at the other person.
The visitor was a young man, about 20 to 25 years old, with medium-length hair and a somewhat lazy temperament. He was wearing a white T-shirt and a black jacket, but it was obvious that he had a well-trained body, with a clear jawline and straight shoulders.
The more Song Shiyi looked at him, the more familiar he looked. The face without facial features in her mind was him! But the strange thing was that she clearly remembered that the man was a strong, tall man with a big beard? But the man in front of her was clearly... Did she confuse the two people for one?
"We know each other too?" Song Shiyi looked at the other party.
The other party hummed.
Song Shiyi asked: "Were we...boyfriend and girlfriend before?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Isn't it? Song Shiyi thought, what is the relationship then?
How could it be so impressive? The other party looked embarrassed, and seemed to be thinking about where to start.
He moved his lips: "My name is Lu Yao, we used to be partners."
Partner? It seems like they've been through a lot together.
Song Shiyi changed the subject first: "What would you like to drink?"
As she said this, she opened the freezer next to her and found that she had taken out a can of Coke.
The sound of Coke that the other person blurted out only reached his ears at this time.
It seems that I am really familiar with the other party.
Song Shiyi looked out the window.
The sun is shining today and the afternoon is long.
"How did we meet?"
Song Shiyi poured the other person a Coke with ice.
The other party took a sip, looked relaxed, and then slowly talked about the past.
Listening to the other person calmly recounting those dangers and life-and-death moments, Song Shiyi suddenly felt that the person in front of her became alive, and those stories made her mood fluctuate.
To me, he is the most special person.
In Song Shiyi's mind, the bearded man named Huang Jia and the delicate face of Lu Yao in front of her blended into two sides of the same coin.
It's not that there is no record.
Instead, she deleted everything about him in her diary.
I once wanted to remember it firmly, and then I wanted to forget it completely.
Why is this happening? Song Shiyi doesn't know.
At least this afternoon, she felt a long-lost happiness.
So let’s start from getting to know each other again.
