"Looking far, one can know new things." Lu Yao slowly read out the contents on the paper, stroking the cloud pattern with his fingertips, "This time the prompt is so abstract."
When is it not abstract?
The system complained in its mind, but did not dare to really speak out.
Lu Yao stood up with the unfinished fruit bucket, turned back to the fishing room, "The task was completed strangely, why was it named successfully? If this sea originally had no name, why would such a task be issued? All come out, what about the basic trust between people and the system?"
The system had to respond: [...Hmm.]
Lu Yao: "Hmm?"
System: [...Hmm.]
Lu Yao: "Hmm?"
System: [...After testing, there is no problem with the task, garbage... The Sea of Eden did originally have a name. 】
Lu Yao: "Then how did the naming succeed?"
System: [I have deduced a possibility that the shop owner's power overwhelmed the original name, erased it, and renamed it. 】
Lu Yao: "What is... my power?"
System: [The shop owner has opened four shops in the other world in order to accumulate the power to realize wishes, which can be simply explained as "wishes". This mission was completed in such a special way, probably related to the shop owner's wishes. 】
Lu Yao: "Wishes? I haven't heard of it before."
System: [...According to previous rules, the system mission needs to be completed to 80% to 90% of the progress, and the wisher may have such a strong power. 】
This matter also exceeded its expectations.
After thinking it over and over again, something unexpected must have happened during the time when the shop owner and it lost contact.
The pearl necklace and the teardrop seal are the evidence, but it cannot ask, and it has to pretend that everything is under control.
Lu Yao accepted this explanation, and before entering the house, he turned around and looked at the sea.
The Sea of Eden is the domain of the goddess of the deep sea, surrounded by a special barrier, and the guests of the furry shop can only move within the barrier.
After the store is expanded to the sea surface, the guests can also move on the sea surface.
And no matter which city the guests come from, they will see the familiar coastline of their hometown when they surface.
Everyone sees a different coastline, and they can only see it, but can never reach it, which makes the urban legends about the furry shop more and more.
Not far away, the seal guards took the guests to pry oysters under the reef, touch conches, and catch sea hares.
Just as Lu Yao expected, the teardrop seal can undertake most of the work of ordinary clerks.
Although they cannot speak, they understand human language and are well disciplined. They
are not only competent for the work of shop assistants, guiding and protecting customers, but also heal customers' bodies and minds during breaks. They are the best working leopards.
Once a chef and a telephone operator are recruited, she basically won't have to worry about the Furry Shop.
Lu Yao went downstairs with the clue note in her hand and returned to the main store of the Furry Shop, ready to ask about the shop assistant Ji Feiming.
The blob seals were playing in the jellyfish field. Lu Yao took a look and stopped. What were they playing during working hours?
Lu Yao lay on the transparent wall film and watched for a while, his expression gradually becoming subtle. The
blob seals rolled in the water, as if they were snatching something - a snow-white, thin and long stick - like the strange bones she had been collecting.
She said that it seemed that something was missing from the mission, and that was the bone.
Lu Yao left the furry shop, swam to the jellyfish field, and intercepted the bone on the way.
The little seals stared at her with their round eyes. Lu Yao
picked up the bone and took a look. It was indeed the kind she collected. "Where did you find this bone?"
The water drop seal closest to her made a sound, but Lu Yao didn't understand, so she used her spiritual perception.
Water drop seal: "Jellyfish field."
Lu Yao shook the bone in his hand and asked, "Do you like this one very much?"
The water drop seal nodded: "It smells nice."
Lu Yao: "...Well, I'll have some dried fish as a snack tonight, and I'll give you new toys tomorrow. Give me this bone, okay?"
The water drop seal did not hesitate, and his dark and watery eyes were full of anticipation: "Give Lu Yao the same one...if you like small toys."
"Thank you." Lu Yao rubbed the little seal's round belly and put the bone into his portable warehouse.
Back in the store, Lu Yao went to the kitchen to find Ji Feiming, "Little Ji."
Ji Feiming was preparing sashimi and stopped immediately when he heard the voice: "Shopkeeper."
"Any progress on the staff matters?"
Ji Feiming: "Well, it's been decided, four people in total. But they are in different cities, and will arrive in Yaoguang City together in three days."
Ji Feiming was very depressed when talking about this.
If he were still a messenger of God, this would definitely not be the case.
He contacted them several times before the tribe replied, and only four people were willing to come.
Ji Feiming lived a smooth and worry-free life in the first half of his life, but now he gradually realizes the indifference of human feelings.
When Lu Yao heard that there were four people, he paused and suggested: "People haven't come yet, right? Then there is no need for all of them to come."
Ji Feiming was startled.
Lu Yao continued, "I'm only hiring two people, there's no need for all of them to come. How about this, I'll chat with your kid online first, and those who are interested in working in the store can come later." If
the job of a shop assistant is directly put on the recruitment market, I'm afraid it won't be competitive. They also have to sign a strict confidentiality agreement. It's too grand to specially ask people to gather from other cities and rush over for an interview, and they may not even show up.
Lu Yao doesn't need any high-tech talents. Character and personality are the aspects she wants to consider.
A little chat will reveal something.
Ji Feiming selfishly hopes that all four of them will come to Zaoguang City. Only after meeting the owner will the tribe members understand his painstaking efforts.
However, during this contact, he heard that someone in the tribe had found a child who might succeed the throne of God, and that person was in Tianshu City.
As a former messenger of God, he should go to Tianjing City to find an opportunity to serve the new God of the future, but Ji Feiming has recently had some strange thoughts in his mind.
Going around shops in different worlds with the shop owner every day seemed more interesting than being a god's messenger. He wanted to know where this street would eventually lead to.
Perhaps because of these things, the tribesmen treated him differently than before.
But...
Ji Feiming couldn't help but think that if the one in Tianshu City was really a child, the road to becoming a god would not be easy.
He could only attribute the indescribable feeling to the intuition of the former god's messenger.
"Little Ji? Uncle?" Lu Yao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Ji Feiming.
Ji Feiming came back to his senses and lowered his eyes to hide his embarrassment. "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry." Lu
Yao waved his hand. "Do you think what I just said is okay? I have to consider the next store recently, and I want to deal with the furry store as soon as possible."
Ji Feiming's eyes flashed, and he burst into uncontrollable curiosity: "Are you going to open a new store again?" Lu
Yao nodded: "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I think it will open after Mid-Autumn Festival at the latest. There are quite a lot of things during this period."
Ji Feiming didn't care about the considerations just now, and immediately pushed the WeChat messages of the four young people to Lu Yao.
The fifth store, what world will it go to this time?
What does the owner plan to run?
Ji Feiming was extremely curious, but he resisted asking.
There are only a few days after Mid-Autumn Festival.
Tianji City.
In the dark room, a small screen lit up, and the phone kept ringing.
Ji Zhixin pulled up the quilt to cover his eyes and covered his ears, thinking that if he couldn't see it, he wouldn't be bothered.
But the phone on the other end kept ringing, and the notification tone of receiving new messages kept ringing.
Ji Zhixin sighed deeply and picked up the phone. People kept talking in the small group named "Ji Zhi".
This group was established by the direct branch of the "Zhi" generation of the Ji family outside the large family group, with ten members.
Ji Zhixin rarely speaks in it on weekdays, and others are busy. Except for the New Year and the festival period, almost no one speaks in the group.
But today is particularly noisy.
Ji Zhixin swiped the screen and saw that the group was being flooded with crazy complaints.
[Ji Zhixiang: Help! What is Uncle Ming thinking? Who else accepted the interview? 】
【Ji Zhile: 頹绢.JPG】
【Ji Zhile: I just finished talking to the store owner. I can’t believe that a pet store is hiring a telephone receptionist, and Uncle Ming told my mom that it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...】
【Ji Zhixiang: To be honest, the store owner is very nice, and he explained the job content and salary in detail. I just don’t understand what Uncle Ming is thinking, why would he introduce such a job to our family? 】
【Ji Zhile: My mom said that the tribe didn’t want to let us go, but Uncle Ming held on to the tribe leader and finally picked a few of us unlucky guys to go for the interview. Later, I don’t know how the store owner agreed to chat online first. Oh my God, we have to chat first, otherwise this trip will be a waste of time. 】
【Ji Zhiqing: Help! I received a friend request, and the note is that the furry shop is far away. What should I do? 】
【Ji Zhixiang: Just accept it. After all, it was introduced by Uncle Ming. The owner is very easy to talk to and won’t bother you if you refuse. 】
【Ji Zhile: I think this person is a bit crazy. Where can you find a call girl? I don’t know how she convinced Uncle Ming. 】
【Ji Zhixun: What are you talking about? 】
【Ji Zhile: Xunxun, how is it? Have you seen Zhizi? 】
【Ji Zhixun: No, Zhizi has only seen Uncle Feichen. Uncle Ming just contacted me and said that someone will add me later and I should be polite. Do you know what happened? 】
【Ji Zhile: Uncle Ming is really crazy!!! Doesn’t he know that you went to Tianjing City with Uncle Feichen? ]
[Ji Zhixiang: Xunxun, that is the job that Uncle Ming introduced. The one who added you should be the owner of the pet store. ]
[Ji Zhixun: ? ? ? ]
[Ji Zhiqing: I heard my mom talking on the phone yesterday. She said Uncle Ming found a delivery job in Yaoguang City and didn’t want to come back. He even settled down there...]
...
The group was inexplicably silent for a few minutes.
[Ji Zhixiang: Zhiqing, how did you talk with the owner? ]
[Ji Zhiqing: Huh? I refused. I had taken a leave and was about to come back, but now I might as well take a two-day break, hehe. ]
[Ji Zhixiang: Did the owner contact Xunxun? ]
[Ji Zhixun: I added him, but we didn’t chat. Brother Zhixin just asked me, and I pushed it to him. ]
[Ji Zhile: Why is Brother Zhixin asking this? 】
The conversation in the group paused here.
Ji Zhixin's room was pitch black, and the sound of the door lock turning came from outside the door. Someone changed his shoes in the entrance hall, put the vegetables bought after work in the kitchen, went back to the bedroom to change clothes, went to the bathroom to wash his face and hands, turned back and pushed open his door.
Ji Feirong stood at the door of Ji Zhixin, raised his hand to press the switch next to the door, "Zhixin, are you hungry? I bought chicken wings and crabs, how about making crab meat pot tonight?"
Ji Zhixin leaned back on the bed, exerted force with both hands, and wanted to get up and sit on the wheelchair, but his legs were as heavy as iron and he couldn't use any strength.
His shoulders slumped weakly, "Mom, I found a job."
Ji Feirong was stunned and walked quickly to the bedside: "What are you talking about? How can you work in this state? Are you willful again? I have told you many times, don't think too much..."
"Mom!" Ji Zhixin frowned slightly, and many words were stuck in his mouth. In the end, he swallowed them back fiercely, suppressing his emotions and said calmly: "The job introduced by Uncle Ming is only known to the "Zhi" generation in the clan. I have contacted the boss. The work location is in Yaoguang City, and I will leave tomorrow."
Ji Feirong put his hands across his waist, loosened his clench, clenched and loosened again, "I've told you many times, why don't you listen? What else do you want from me? What kind of job can you do in your current state? You will cause trouble wherever you go..."
"The owner said I have a good personality and am very suitable for the job in the store."
Ji Zhixin pretended not to see the shock and regret in Ji Feirong's eyes, and spoke in a calm tone.
Ji Feirong turned and went out, and Ji Zhixin heard her talking to someone.
The person on the other end of the phone should be Ji Feiming.
A few minutes later, Ji Feirong came back from outside the door, her face softened a little: "Just think of it as going out to relax and have fun for ten days or half a month. When you are tired, I will come to pick you up."
"Please help me pack some clothes, mom." Ji Zhixin was very calm from beginning to end.
He has difficulty walking and can't go anywhere alone.
He doesn't know why he asked Ji Zhixun for the contact information, but he was tired of staying here and wanted to escape, any reason would do.
But he didn't lie, the young girl on the other side of the screen did say that he had a good personality and was suitable for the job of a switchboard operator.
I just don't know how she would react when she saw his legs?
Ji Zhixin felt a little guilty, but didn't want to explore or analyze himself.
He knew better than anyone that Ji Zhixin was a rotten person.
Ji Feiming only knew that Lu Yao had chosen Ji Zhixin when he received a call from Ji Feirong, but he did not recommend this junior.
He didn't know whether Lu Yao knew about Ji Zhixin's physical condition, and after much hesitation, he called her.
"Hello, what's up?" The shop owner's voice was smiling, and in the background, the sound of Harold arguing with others could be heard.
Ji Feiming grabbed the sofa with his free hand, "Shop owner, it's me."
"I know, there's caller ID."
"I heard you chose Zhixin."
"Oh, yes. The other kids in your family aren't suitable for the job in the shop, so Ji Zhixin took the initiative to come to me. We talked for a few minutes, and he's quite suitable, and he's willing to come." Lu Yao said very tactfully. The
Ji family is worthy of being a family that has served the gods. They are decisive and successful in what they say and do, and they can't be faulted. She almost gave up.
In the end, she agreed to Ji Zhixin, not only because he was more suitable than the previous ones in all aspects, but also because his eyes were too much like the autistic fish she first met in the Sea of Eden.
And choosing one person would also be an explanation to Ji Feiming.
Hearing Lu Yao's tone, Ji Feiming knew that something must have gone wrong.
The Ji family has always been arrogant, and the owner may have known from the beginning that the result would be bad.
Ji Feiming's mood was in turmoil, "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry. There are some things about Zhixin that he may not have told you. He was originally the most promising one in the 'Zhi' school. Unfortunately, something happened to him five years ago, and since then his legs have been weak and he can't walk normally." There
was silence on the other end of the phone for a few minutes, and Lu Yao suddenly said, "Ambrose, Edward, the style of this mooncake is too gorgeous, refute." In an instant, her voice was close to his ear again: "Okay, I got it. How about we pick him up at the airport tomorrow?"
Ji Feiming didn't react for a while: "Huh?"
Lu Yao: "Tomorrow, I want to go to a dessert shop in the city, and pick up Ji Zhixin by the way. What do you think?"
Ji Feiming didn't understand the owner's thoughts, but he understood one thing-she didn't mind Ji Zhixin's leg problems, and the stone that had been hanging in her heart slowly fell down.
He whispered, "Okay, thank you."
After finishing the call with Lu Yao, Ji Feiming was depressed for a while.
Life was so up and down that he didn't even react. Even the younger generation began to perfunctorily treat him.
God's messenger, it's not that interesting.
